Conan Rick's Investigator

Page 316

Qin Zhibo smiled slightly, opened the plastic bag, took out the black rubber gloves inside and put them on his hands.

"Sorry, this is just a demonstration prop I borrowed from the Lookout Restaurant next door."

"As for the real evidence found in the doll costume, I already sent it to the Tomi Forensic Officer for testing."

In fact, when Kudo Shinichi asked the president's daughter a question, Qin Zhibo also simultaneously figured out that Ohba Satoru shot the president in the elevator while kissing him.

In addition, Ohba Satoru showed no fear of the police's investigation into the gunpowder smoke incident, so Qin Zhibo immediately guessed that he must have planned some method to cover it up long ago.

Thinking of the plastic bags and gloves he had encountered in the single room an hour ago, Qin Zhibo looked over and found that the investigation point was right there.

And coincidentally, when Ohba Satoru took out the gloves and fiddled with them an hour ago, Qin Zhibo did think that it might be a prop that the murderer had arranged in advance.

After all, with the double buffs of the Grim Reaper and the President appearing, anything unusual is worthy of suspicion.

So the bored Qin Zhibo used a simple cleaning spell to thoroughly clean the plastic bag and gloves.

But at that time, Qin Zhibo didn't know who was going to use it and how.

Even the president said in the middle of the party that he had something to do and had to leave early, which made Qin Zhibo a little frustrated for a while, thinking that he had guessed wrong.

But now it seems that everything was accurately predicted.

……

Faced with overwhelming evidence, Ohba Satoru, who is adept at making clever arguments, finally ran out of excuses and could only explain his motives for murder.

20 years ago, the amusement equipment company owned by Ohba Satoru's father was acquired. In desperation, Ohba Satoru's father wanted to commit suicide to frame President Tatsumi, but his plan was discovered by a young man.

When they were almost there, Inspector Megure suddenly realized.

"That's Yusaku!"

Watching Ohba Satoru being taken away, Inspector Megure sighed silently, "I didn't expect that he inherited his father's will for revenge and was actually killed by the same pair..."

Just as he was about to say something but before he could say it, Inspector Megure realized something was wrong.

Although Kudo Shinichi was the first to identify the murderer, it was Qin Zhibo who provided the final evidence.

If they were "the same father and son", I felt a little irresponsible towards Brother Qin...

At this moment, Qin Zhibo also received a notification that the task was completed.

[Congratulations on completing the side mission]

[Task Completion Rating: B++]

[Acquire 400 general skill proficiency]

[Get 150 social credits]

[Rating Reward: 300 General Skill Proficiency]

Qin Zhibo looked at the task time and saw that there were about 20 minutes left, yet he could still get a B++ rating.

If I had realized the role of plastic bags and gloves earlier, I would have had a chance to get an A rating.

It's a pity...

Qin Zhibo couldn't help but sigh.

Kudo Shinichi, who was standing by, heard Qin Zhibo's sigh and thought that Qin Zhibo felt that his performance in this case was not good enough. He was about to step forward to comfort him when he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his heart under his chest.

He knew this pain all too well; things were about to change!

Shinichi Kudo, covered in smoke, fled to the bathroom in a panic and was noticed by Inspector Megure.

"Kudo-kun! Where are you going?"

Just as Inspector Megure was about to chase after him, he was stopped by Qin Zhibo.

"Let the young people handle their own affairs. Let's talk about recording their statements first..."

"Oh, that's true."

As soon as the case at hand was mentioned, Inspector Megure entered focus mode again, selectively ignoring the white smoke that he had just vaguely seen from Kudo.

……

In the men's restroom, Kudo Shinichi held onto the mirror and kept praying not to change.

Ai Haibara stood behind, holding her watch and watching silently.

It was not until Kudo Shinichi fainted on the ground and his body shrank at a speed visible to the naked eye that Haibara Ai recorded the time in her mind and returned the glasses to Conan.

"It seems I have no choice but to return these glasses to you...Edogawa Conan."

Haibara Ai smiled knowingly, took out her underwear from the small backpack on her back and went into the toilet cubicle to change.

After the change, a neatly folded Conan suit was placed next to the shrunken Conan.

……

Qin Zhibo chatted briefly with Inspector Megure about going to the Metropolitan Police Department to record his statement, and then went to the bathroom to check the situation.

After regaining her identity, Haibara Ai came out of the bathroom first, followed by the real Conan.

Haibara Ai took the elevator and left directly, while Conan took the gold card and went to find Mouri Ran again.

Qin Zhibo watched Conan and Mao Lilan's confession from afar at the door, and did not want to disturb them. Instead, he turned around and found Officer Megure to go to the Metropolitan Police Department to record his statement overnight.

……

Since Qin Zhibo had directly handled important evidence this time, he was busy recording the confession and listening to Ohba Satoru's confession until almost midnight.

I was taken to Zhibo Detective Agency by a police car. As soon as I opened the door of the agency, the clock struck twelve in the morning.

At this moment, the store props suddenly prompted that they had been refreshed.

This also means that another week has passed...

Chapter 439 New props

At the beginning of a new week, Qin Zhibo must of course take a look at this week's props first.

【Deep Dive Potion】

【Consumables】

[Can breathe freely underwater for 30 minutes, improving underwater power]

[Deep Diver's gills + scales + webbed feet = Deep Dive]

【Remember not to look in the mirror after use】

[Price: 1000 Proficiency]

This prop reminded Qin Zhibo of an article he had read before, "The God of the Sea", which mentioned a potion that could allow people to dive underwater after drinking it.

Judging from the introduction, the formula of this potion should be gills + scales + webbed feet, but it is for deep divers.

But what is a deep diver?

……

【Fireproof Clothing】

[Made of Kthonian skin, can insulate against temperatures of 4000 degrees Celsius]

[User 1: Absolutely no contact with water! ]

User 2: Yes, he is right.

User 3: Ugh! I'm not...

So you want to use it?

【I'm afraid by the time you need it, there will be no other choice? 】

[Price: 2000 Proficiency]

Judging from the name of the prop, this prop seems normal, but it becomes abnormal again when it comes to the introduction.

The props provided in the prop store are somewhat thrilling and bizarre, as can be seen from the previous [Flying Claw] made of human hand bones.

And this fireproof suit is made of human skin!?

If this thing is made of human skin, you will probably be caught by the police soon if you wear it.

But just like the last sentence of the introduction, when you really need it, there will be no other choice.

In addition, this fireproof suit seems to have a weakness, which is that it cannot come into contact with any water.

Even if it's just a mouthful of saliva.

……

Bottled Fear

[Magic container made by the Great Magician of Enkai]

Put your fear in a bottle, and you will no longer be afraid of it.

[It’s a pity that its capacity is not very large]

[Fear is not a bad thing. Fear gives humans the instinct to survive. Therefore, fear is the oldest and most primitive emotion of human beings.]

[What I fear, I should be in awe of; since it is of no use to me, I will give the empty bottle to those who are destined to receive it. - The Great Magician]

So what is your fear?

[Price: 5000 Proficiency]

A prop whose name sounds a bit weird, but whose description is relatively normal.

It appears to be a magic item, crafted by the great magician of Enkai.

Qin Zhibo: "Hmm?"

This "Enkai" seemed to be exactly the "Enkai" that he and Koizumi Akako wanted to pursue.

Judging from the effects introduced, it should be a magic item that can make people immune to fear of certain objects.

If you are afraid of mice, put the mouse in this bottle and you will no longer be afraid of mice.

Qin Zhibo thought about it for a moment. This thing seemed to have no effect on him, because up to now, there was no...

Just as he thought of this, Qin Zhibo suddenly thought of the only thing that made him feel uncomfortable at the moment.

seawater!

If I put seawater into it, I would be immune to the negative effects of seawater from then on. Wouldn't that mean I could "jump as far as the sea allows"?

However, Qin Zhibo was somewhat concerned about the words left by the great magician who created this [Bottled Fear].

As the creator of the bottle, he chose to leave an empty bottle.

The reasons behind this are thought-provoking.

……

【Starry Sky Fishing Rod】

This is a unique fishing rod.

[Living creatures, dead creatures... As long as they exist in this starry sky, they can be caught.]

[But it lacks the blessing of a star fisherman]

[Go! Let's go find the Star Fisherman!]

【Once you start fishing, I believe it will not let you down! 】

[Price: 5000 Proficiency]

This prop is also very unique.
