Conan Rick's Investigator

Qin Zhibo remembered the lounge where Su Fang Hongzi invited him to discuss the commission, and there was indeed an inconspicuous safe in the corner.

"Okay, go and turn yourself in."

Under Qin Zhibo's gaze, the secretary lowered her head and walked tremblingly towards Inspector Megure who was discussing the case with Maori Kogoro.

……

"What! You want to turn yourself in!"

"So you are the murderer!"

Inspector Megure and Kogoro Mouri exclaimed in succession, shocking Conan and others nearby.

Although Conan didn't figure out the method clearly, he thought that the murderer should be one of the six people living in the west wing.

Although Koizumi Akako has a peculiar personality, since Koizumi Akako was brought by Qin Zhibo, Conan trusts Qin Zhibo more, so he loves her and does not think that Koizumi Akako is the murderer.

In this case, the murderer is a luxurious choice among five.

Just when Conan was about to try the process of elimination, one of the five people actually came forward to surrender himself.

"Are you really the murderer? How did you kill Ms. Su Fang in the secret room?"

Hearing Maori Kogoro's question, the secretary hurriedly shook her head and waved her hands, refusing: "No! I am not the murderer of Teacher Su Fang!"

"I only assisted Teacher Su Fang in embezzling and falsifying charitable donations!"

After the secretary's explanation, everyone knew what was going on.

Inspector Megure suddenly felt bored and casually asked Brother Takagi to notify the Second Investigation Section next door to come and collect the results.

But just as Takagi was about to take the person away, Maori Kogoro suddenly had an idea and shouted, "Please wait a moment, Officer Takagi..."

Gao Mu, who was walking out with his secretary, froze in his tracks. "Huh?"

"Hehe... I understand everything." Maori Kogoro showed his usual confident expression, "The murderer is you! Miss Secretary!"

Everyone: “Ah!?”

"We were almost tricked by you. You saw that I, a famous detective, was about to deduce the truth of the case, so you tried to cover up your serious crime with a minor one."

"In fact, you killed Su Fang Hongzi because you and she embezzled money together and the spoils were not evenly divided!"

Kogoro Mouri ruled it out seriously.

For Kogoro Mori, reasoning requires considering personal status, but exclusion does not.

It's better to exclude it than to reason it out. Making the murderer feel comfortable is Maori's personal talent...

Upon hearing this, Inspector Megure nodded repeatedly in agreement, "I see..."

Conan, who was listening, also felt that it made sense, because although the murderer had painstakingly created a secret room, he did not disguise the scene as a suicide.

In this way, the police will sooner or later find the murderer. Instead of being discovered, it is better to directly confess to another lesser crime to confuse the police.

Conan had seen this kind of technique in Beika Town before.

Is the eucalyptus solved so easily?

Seeing that everyone was misunderstanding again, the secretary quickly shook her head and explained, "This is different from what we agreed on!"

"What was promised?"

Inspector Megure and Kogoro Mouri stepped closer at the same time and asked with dark faces.

The secretary quickly explained loudly: "It was Mr. Qin who asked me to turn myself in!"

……

After a while, the police finally found Qin Zhibo who was crawling out of the ventilation duct.

"Yes, I asked her to turn herself in, but it was only a charge of corruption..."

Qin Zhibo climbed out of the ventilation duct and brought out evidence.

"The evidence is in my hand. It's this thing."

Qin Zhibo took out a piece of rope and a pair of gloves in his hand. One part of the rope was stained with bright red blood.

"Brother Qin! This is..." Inspector Megure looked surprised.

Qin Zhibo smiled confidently, "This is exactly the evidence the murderer left in the ventilation duct..."

"Is that so? Mr. Aichuan Dongshi?"

Chapter 407 The one!

Lan Chuandongshi, who looks very similar to the little yellow-haired ez, looked at the evidence in Qin Zhibo's hand, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead and temples.

Everyone gave up the C position that belonged to the murderer and looked at him.

But even under tremendous pressure, Lanchuan Dongshi still put on a relaxed smile and defended himself.

"What are you talking about? Mr. Qin, this is a secret room. I can't go in and kill someone."

Originally, Lan Chuandongshi's method of escaping the crime was that the rooms on the east and west sides could only be connected through the mask hall, and the police would subconsciously suspect the guests in the west room.

But now that the ventilation duct has been found, we can only start with manual methods.

Fortunately, Lan Chuandongshi was very confident in his own skills - in order to use that special method to kill Sufang Hongzi, he worked hard in the gym every day and developed a body of tendon muscles.

In addition to the more than ten rehearsals in the past two months, sometimes the maid would wake up in the morning to find that the masks in the mask room were tilted all over the place, because she had been secretly practicing this technique at night.

This technique is unique even in Mihua Town, which is full of talented people. Lan Chuandongshi still has confidence in it.

But Qin Zhibo's next words made Lan Chuandong's heart plummet to the bottom.

"In fact, you have never entered the secret room. You can easily kill people just by standing outside the sealed door."

……

Qin Zhibo took everyone to the room next to Su Fang Hongzi's dormitory, which was also the room on the other side of the sealed door.

Here, Qin Zhibo asked Gao Mu to collect all the Xiaobul masks, thread the masks one by one with the new thin ropes he found, and then throw them into Sufang Hongzi's dormitory through the lattice board on the sealed door.

This is a huge project. The eyes and mouth of the mask need to be strung with two ropes respectively and thrown in through the other side of the door.

Since Conan is not tall enough to carry out this technique, Qin Zhibo can only order Takagi Wataru to do it all.

It takes Takagi Shigeru at least fifteen seconds to complete each mask.

A reasonable calculation shows that it would take 200×15=200 seconds, or fifty minutes, to complete all 3000 masks.

This is a very long waiting process, and anyone would feel bored, but the method of the case is hidden in it, so you can only watch patiently.

When Takagi put on the fourth mask, Conan's eyes lit up and his brain started to thunder.

That's it!

With Qin Zhibo's reminder, Conan took less than a minute to fully understand the ins and outs of this technique.

You're the one who was able to crack such a peculiar method so quickly. You're worthy of it!

Conan gave Qin Zhibo an admiring look, but Qin Zhibo didn't respond.

However, not everyone has Conan's wild imagination, and can only watch the techniques blindly and foolishly.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Qin Zhibo walked over to Koizumi Hongzi and whispered, "The Xiaobul masks here are all fake. Go to the second-floor lounge and check if the 'Pale Mask' is there."

"Um……"

Koizumi Akako looked up at the criminal method that was still being prepared, with some reluctance in her eyes, but she had no choice but to get back to business.

Now most of the people in the villa are on the third floor observing the criminal methods. Koizumi Akako went to the second floor alone to use some magic, and Qin Zhibo was still very relieved.

But Qin Zhibo did not notice that Nagara Haruka on the side glanced at Koizumi Hongzi who was leaving alone without leaving a trace.

……

One of the disadvantages of this technique is that the preparation process is quite lengthy.

Even Lan Chuandongshi, who is very familiar with "threading the needle", still needs more than half an hour.

Watching your most confident tactics being gradually exposed is an extremely painful process, like being publicly executed.

When Takagi Wataru slowly passed the thread through the 59th mask, Aichuan Dongshi could no longer bear the psychological torture and admitted that he was the murderer.

In fact, Qin Zhibo didn't intend to really let Gao Mu wear all 200 masks. He just wanted to make 100 masks as a gesture.

Otherwise, by the time the criminal method is ready, the mission time will have passed.

"Twenty years ago, that woman killed someone with her car, but she pushed the blame onto my mother, who was her assistant at the time. She even killed my mother, making the outside world think she committed suicide out of fear of punishment!"

"It was only two months ago that I discovered a hidden letter among my mother's belongings. The letter explained the entire truth..."

Lan Chuandongshi angrily confessed his motive for murder. It can be seen that he does not regret avenging his mother.

Qin Zhibo recalled what Sufang Hongzi had asked him, and asked Katagiri Masaki, who was standing by with a surprised look on his face, "The person who died in the car accident twenty years ago, was she your wife?"

“Ah, um…”

Katagiri Masaki nodded hesitantly in acknowledgment.

As Takagi Wataru, with a stiff neck, jumped down from the chair and handcuffed Aichuan Dongshi's hands, Qin Zhibo's system displayed a prompt.

[Congratulations on completing the side mission]

【Task Rating: C++】

[Acquire 400 general skill proficiency]

[Get 150 social credits]

[Rating Reward: 100 General Skill Proficiency]

At this time, Koizumi Hongzi also turned back and first glanced at the handcuffed Aichuan Dongshi, knowing that the case had been settled.

After passing by Lanchuan Dongshi, Koizumi Hongzi took a deep look at him before walking to Qin Zhibo.

"Confirmed, it's in the safe in the lounge."

Qin Zhibo was delighted after getting confirmation from Koizumi Hongzi.

According to the contents of the previously signed commission contract, his task is to find out the circumstances of Mrs. Masanori Katagiri's car accident before the charity gala.

He had just completed the commission and confirmed that Katagiri Masaki's wife was the person who was killed in the car accident that year.

And when drafting the contract, Qin Zhibo specifically asked his secretary to add a clause at the end stating that the content of the contract would not be terminated under any circumstances.

In this case, when the commission is completed, even if the principal has died, the remuneration signed in the previous contract must be deducted from the principal's estate instead of being invalidated.

You will have the right to obtain that mask!

……

While Inspector Megure was still there, Qin Zhibo guessed the password of the safe through Sofang Hongzi's birthday and got the mask.

Qin Zhibo used white gloves to take the mask out of the safe. It looked professional, but in fact it was a magic extractor.

After a few seconds, seeing the magic value jump, Qin Zhibo knew it was stable.

Since it is a 1:1 replica, this original Shaubel Mask is indistinguishable from the fake one exhibited in the Mask Hall, except for some mottled bloodstains on it.

However, these aged bloodstains are not on the surface of the mask, but on the inside of the mask at the mouth position.

This shows that when Shawbel Dress committed suicide, he was wearing this mask on his face.

Perhaps Xiaobul carved a total of 200 authentic ones during his lifetime, but the one he wore personally when he committed suicide was the only one in the world.

The one!

Chapter 408 Excited Mr.Clock

On the return trip, Qin Zhibo was still driving, and Koizumi Hongzi was sitting in the passenger seat playing with the Xiaobul mask in her hand.

"Are you sure this is the 'Pale Mask' you're talking about?"

Qin Zhibo, who was driving, glanced at the navigator in his mind and saw that the red dot of the mission on the electronic map was moving with him.

"Yes..." Qin Zhibo replied indifferently after turning the steering wheel and turning a sharp corner.
