Is it...

Qin Zhibo guessed that it was someone he knew and quickly asked, "What role did Conan play in this case?"

Inspector Megure was stunned for a moment, unable to understand how Qin Zhibo knew this.

"...Actually, Conan was the witness when the first police officer was killed..."

Qin Zhibo smiled slightly. It was still the familiar recipe and the familiar taste.

At this moment, Qin Zhibo's system sent a prompt.

-

Side quest: Find out the murderer of this case

Task requirements: time limit 2 hour

Task reward: 1000 general skill proficiency, 50 social credits

-

Qin Zhibo felt a little excited when the mission was triggered far away in Los Angeles.

But with the ceiling of human intelligence right beside him and the inability to conduct on-site investigations, Qin Zhibo still feels a little pressured.

After mentioning Conan, Inspector Megure on the phone quickly explained this "strange name" to Kudo Yusaku.

"Brother Kudo, Conan is an elementary school student living at Brother Mori's house. He's quite smart, but he was a bit naughty at the murder scene..."

"I know." Kudo Yusaku replied calmly.

Kudo Yusaku, who spent 1000 million yen on foster care fees, certainly knew this, and Kudo Yukiko, who was standing next to him, also had an awkward smile on her face.

Only Inspector Megure, who was kept in the dark, looked surprised. "You know this too?"

For some reason, Kudo Yusaku and Qin Zhibo knew everything about Conan.

"By the way, Officer Megure, I'd like to ask how you knew the murders of these two officers were related to last year's case?"

Kudo Yusaku's questions hit the nail on the head, forcing Qin Zhibo to admire him.

Inspector Megure replied, "In fact, both police officers left behind death messages indicating their police manuals when they died."

"It certainly suggests the killer is among the cases they've handled."

Inspector Megure was very confident in his reasoning, but Kudo Yusaku still asked him to send the photo of the victim at the time of death to his email.

This request made Megure look a little embarrassed, and he looked helplessly at Shiratori Renzaburo beside him.

Because he himself is a complete digital blind.

……

With the help of Shiratori Jinzaburo, the photos were finally sent to Kudo Yusaku's computer mailbox.

One photo shows a police officer dying with his hand on his heart, while the other shows a police officer lying on the ground with a police manual in his outstretched right hand.

Two photos appeared on the computer screen, and Qin Zhibo saw the survey point on the first photo at a glance.

【Secret Word Survey√】

[Holding the heart, meaning: psychology]

The message before death was psychological, and the deceased in the case was a doctor.

Could it be...

"Psychologist……"

"Cardiologist..."

Almost at the same moment, Qin Zhibo and Kudo Yusaku gave the answer at the same time.

Chapter 495: The Loss of Talent, the Sorrow of Rice Flower

(I saw the comments from readers about this chapter and changed the ending of the previous chapter)

……

"Psychologist……"

"Cardiologist..."

Qin Zhibo and Kudo Yusaku spoke at the same time, but gave slightly different answers.

The two looked at each other with a hint of surprise in their eyes, and for a moment they didn't know how to continue reasoning.

Yukiko Kudo next to her was more sensible and asked how they knew the murderer was a doctor.

Kudo Yusaku confidently explained, "In fact, when the detective clutched his left chest tightly before dying, he wasn't referring to the police manual, but to his heart."

"Last year's deceased was a doctor. According to normal investigation procedures, the detectives in charge of this case must have investigated the deceased's fellow doctors."

"The detectives may have recognized the murderer as a fellow doctor they investigated last year. This doctor specializes in heart treatment..."

As Kudo Yusaku was speaking, he suddenly changed the subject and looked at Qin Zhibo.

"But when it comes to heart treatment, most people think of cardiology or cardiac surgery... Why did Mr. Qin think of a psychiatrist?"

"Yeah, yeah..." Yukiko agreed with her husband. "Even though it's a mental illness, it's essentially a problem with the brain, right? Maybe grabbing your head will help you express your thoughts more accurately..."

The pressure came to Qin Zhibo. Facing the double questioning of the Kudo couple, Qin Zhibo only wanted to say...

How should I know? The system tells me...

Of course Qin Zhibo couldn't say that. After staring at the photo for two seconds, his intelligence of 80 forced him to come up with a set of "theories".

"Before he died, this detective clutched his heart tightly, even pulling his clothes into his palm. Doesn't that look like he was holding his heart in his hand?"

"So, 'holding the heart in one's hand' should mean 'heart', or 'psychology'..."

Qin Zhibo looked at Kudo Yukiko again, "As for Mrs. Kudo's thoughts, if you scratch your head, it will only create more ambiguity. People will think she is a brain doctor, or even a barber..."

"Oh..." Kudo Yukiko said weakly and nodded confusedly.

After listening to Qin Zhibo's explanation, Kudo Yusaku sat in his chair in silence, his brain thinking silently.

At a certain moment, Kudo Yusaku felt that what Qin Zhibo said made some sense.

But can people really think of such profound messages before death in the short time before they die?

But if that's really the case, then this man's reasoning ability is truly remarkable...

……

An hour later, the Kudo couple treated Qin Zhibo to dinner.

Yukiko Kudo's cooking skills are good, and the ingredients provided by the convenience stores in the wealthy area are all top-notch, which really whets Qin Zhibo's appetite.

"Mr. Qin, how is the food I cooked?"

"Mm, very good. Mr. Kudo is in for a treat..."

Qin Zhibo nodded in praise repeatedly. Although his cooking skills were still inferior to those of the professional gourmet Matsumoto Ryohei, at least he could eat it with peace of mind.

Sitting in the host's seat, Kudo Yusaku held up the knife and fork in his hand, looking at the food on the plate, but his mind was elsewhere.

It's been an hour...

Kudo Yusaku turned his head to look at the clock hanging on the wall, calculating in his mind the time that had passed since Inspector Megure got the answer to his and Qin Zhibo's reasoning.

At this moment, Kudo Yusaku was like a candidate waiting for the release of an important exam result. Every minute and every second seemed like he was being tortured in a frying pan, so how could he have an appetite to eat?

Is he a cardiologist or a psychiatrist?

Just then, a phone rang in the spacious and even somewhat empty living room.

"There's a phone call..."

Before Kudo Yukiko finished speaking, Kudo Yusaku had already smoothly put down the knife and fork in his hand, took off the napkin from his chest, and quickly walked to the living room to answer the phone.

On the other end of the line was Inspector Megure's joyful and excited voice.

"We've got him! We've got the criminal!"

Justice was served, which made Kudo Yusaku feel a little more comfortable.

"Based on your and Brother Qin's explanations, I had my men quickly investigate the cardiologists and psychiatrists at the Dongdu University Hospital..."

"We soon found a clue. The doctor who died last year accidentally scratched another doctor's left hand during a heart operation..."

Hearing this, Kudo Yusaku subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief and a faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

Of course, only a cardiologist can appear during heart surgery.

That death message about "hands," "heart," and "psychology" was indeed over-interpreted...

But just when Kudo Yusaku was relaxing, what Inspector Megure continued to say was like a bolt of lightning.

"The doctor's name was Fudo Kyosuke. Because of his hand injury, he could no longer perform surgery, so he transferred to the psychology department and became a psychiatrist.

A year ago, when Fudo Kyosuke was drinking with the dead doctor, he learned that his hand was deliberately cut by the doctor, and in a fit of rage, he killed the doctor...

Previously, after receiving orders from Superintendent Oda, Police Officer Nara reinvestigated last year's case and sought psychological dialogue therapy from Kyosuke Fudo, telling Kyosuke Fudo about the reopening of the investigation.

To avoid being discovered, Fudo Kyosuke killed the police officer who reopened the investigation. The pistol used to kill the two detectives has been found in his home, and ballistics comparison confirms a perfect match.

In fact, Inspector Megure didn't tell the whole story. What was found in Fudo Kyosuke's house was not only a pistol, but also bombs, a one-eye night vision goggles, and a jungle dagger...

According to Kyosuke Fudo, these were all made to be used in killing people later. After all, the target was the police, so he spent time learning a lot of killing techniques.

If he wasn't blinded by hatred, he would be a technical talent of Mihua. It's a pity...

Inspector Megure sighed inwardly, and suddenly realized that Kudo Yusaku had not spoken for a long time.

"Eh? Kudo-kun? Why aren't you talking..."

At this time, Kudo Yusaku was standing in front of the phone, his eyes slightly widened, with a hint of shock in his eyes.

Wasn't it said that you were a cardiologist? How did you switch careers and become a psychiatrist?

But my reasoning shouldn't be wrong. After all, the murderer was indeed a cardiologist. Maybe the first police officer who died knew this, so...

……

After ending the call, Kudo Yusaku returned to his seat and Yukiko asked hurriedly.

"Who's calling?"

"It's Inspector Megure..."

Kudo Yusaku told everyone else at the dinner table that the murderer had been caught, but Qin Zhibo had actually known the news a long time ago.

As soon as the murderer in Japan confessed his guilt, Qin Zhibo received a system prompt.

It was because of a simple secret code investigation that he gained 1500 general skill proficiency, which allowed Qin Zhibo to focus on his work.

I hope that every victim I meet in the future will leave a message before their death...

Chapter 496: Baijiu, STK, and the Yellow Seal Brotherhood...

On the other side of the table, looking at Qin Zhibo who was happily eating, Kudo Yusaku showed an open-minded smile on his face.

Although he was surprised by Qin Zhibo's reasoning ability, Kudo Yusaku did not regard Qin Zhibo as a reasoning opponent whom he must defeat.

On the contrary, Kudo Yusaku thinks of Qin Zhibo more as a person worthy of respect.

During the time when he and Qin Zhibo were together at the shooting range in Hawaii ten years ago, Kudo Yusaku did not have any intuitive feeling about Qin Zhibo's reasoning ability, but he only knew that the other party's shooting level was very high.

But now, Kudo Yusaku has a full understanding of the former FBI investigator's reasoning ability.

It seems there are still capable people in the FBI...

……

After dinner, Kudo Yukiko prepared a guest room for Qin Zhibo.

The guest rooms are luxuriously furnished, with a separate bathroom and a separate TV, but the only thing missing is a computer with internet access.

Qin Zhibo put forward his request, and Kudo Yukiko immediately went to find the laptop that Kudo Yusaku did not use at home.
