Conan Rick's Investigator

Ok?

Seeing this explanation, Qin Zhibo was a little surprised and didn't know what it meant.

But when he turned around and saw Gin walking out of the room, Qin Zhibo immediately understood.

The English word for gin is GIN.

It seems that Yuan Jiaming did not want to resist with the dinner knife. This was actually his message before his death, pointing the finger of murder at Gin.

But what is the use?

The black organization's code system is good in this respect. Even if it is known to others and conveyed as a death message, it is meaningless.

The police would not think that "GIN" refers to a person, and they would not be able to find Gin himself through this clue.

In other words, this is an invalid death message.

The only purpose is to be discovered by insiders of the organization such as Conan and Haibara Ai, who know that the person was killed by Gin.

But so what?

Given Conan's naive character, he might try his best to find a way out of this matter and look for clues about the organization.

Gin has already learned that "Sherry" is going to the Twin Towers soon, and he will definitely intensify the search efforts at the opening ceremony the day after tomorrow.

In this case, wouldn't it be easy for the two sides to collide?

At this stage, Qin Zhibo doesn't want Gin and Conan to collide, otherwise if danger occurs, he will have to rescue them, which will affect his cooperation with the alien creature MI-GO.

If the Black Brotherhood's affairs are not handled properly, Mr. Clock in Arkham may turn against him.

Mr. Clock knew that the real identity of "Michael Bay" was "Qin Zhibo", which forced him to be on guard.

So after weighing the pros and cons, Qin Zhibo felt that it would be better to erase the death message.

"Hey, Gin..."

Qin Zhibo waved his hand, motioning Gin to come over.

Gin's eyes turned stern, but he still walked over and looked in the direction Qin Zhibo pointed.

Yuan Jiaming was seen holding a silver dinner knife tightly in his right hand.

Gin stared at it for a few seconds, then widened his eyes and saw through the trick.

"Humph—I didn't expect him to try such tricks before dying. He's truly a genius programmer..."

Gin bent down to pick up the knife and put it back next to the cake on the table so that the two looked perfect together.

Since Gin never takes off his gloves, he is not afraid of getting his fingerprints on the knife.

After doing all this, Gin looked back at Qin Zhibo. Although he did not express any praise verbally, he had already made some basic judgments about the purpose of this "organizational accomplice" in his mind.

At this time, Vodka had just finished formatting the computer and walked out of the room.

"Brother, it's all done."

"withdraw."

Gin brought his two "little brothers" back to the Porsche 356A. In the car, Gin announced the next task to Qin Zhibo.

"The day after tomorrow, there will be an opening ceremony for the twin skyscrapers in Nishitama City. I need you to sneak into the venue."

Gin gave orders in Japanese English.

"You have to find a woman who looks like this for me..."

As he spoke, Gin casually took out a photo from his arms, and the photo was of Miyano Shiho.

Chapter 557 Conan: I’ve brought my backers!

Brown short hair, white coat, red dress...

Qin Zhibo had seen this appearance of "Miyano Shiho" in Haibara Ai's memory.

"Found it, what next?"

Gin lit a Seven Stars cigarette, "You just need to find her and tell me where she is. The rest is up to you..."

"Use this to contact me when the time comes."

Gin glanced at Vodka. Vodka reacted in two seconds, took out the walkie-talkie from his arms and handed it to Qin Zhibo.

It seems that this job was originally intended for Vodka, but Gin changed his mind at the last minute.

"Okay, get out of the car."

Qin Zhibo pushed the door and got out of the car. Vodka stepped on the accelerator and the Porsche 356A disappeared into the night.

This place is very close to Yuan Jiaming's home. Once the police find the body, they will definitely ask the surrounding neighbors. Qin Zhibo did not dare to stay and immediately disappeared into the dark alley.

……

The next day.

When Inspector Megure called again, as expected, it was to inform me of Hara Yoshiaki's death.

As a good brother of Inspector Megure, Qin Zhibo of course rushed to the scene first and saw Conan and other members of the Junior Detective League at the door.

"You...you found the body?"

The dwarfs nodded in unison.

Qin Zhibo was too lazy to complain. After all, Conan couldn't be blamed entirely this time.

Qin Zhibo skipped the conversation with Conan and went directly to the murder scene, where he saw Inspector Megure and Kogoro Mouri standing next to the corpse.

"Brother Qin, you're here!"

Inspector Megure greeted Qin Zhibo warmly, which made Kogoro Mouri look a little jealous.

At this time, the forensic officer on the ground stood up and reported: "The time of death was probably between 10 o'clock last night and 12 midnight."

Inspector Megure's face was heavy as he analyzed carefully: "It seems that this could be a serial murder case..."

This judgment surprised Qin Zhibo, and he quickly asked what was going on.

Takagi Wataru, standing by, pulled out an evidence bag containing a small wine glass, broken in two. "This was found at the scene, along with volcanic ash, but there's much less than what Councillor Oki found..."

Qin Zhibo looked at the wine glass in disbelief, because he clearly remembered that Gin and Vodka did not do anything unnecessary after committing the crime yesterday.

This was left behind by the murderer who killed Councillor Oki!

At this time, Conan sneaked in again and asked questions.

"The murder methods used in these two cases were very different. One involved amputation, and the other was a single shot. Could this be the same murderer?"

Officer Shiratori came over and explained with a serious expression, "The wine glass and volcanic ash are information that has never been made public. Besides us, only the murderer knew about it. There's no way a copycat could exist."

"Besides, this is a residential area. If amputation were to occur, the noise would attract the attention of the neighbors. However, the closed hotel where Councillor Oki is staying is different..."

Shiratori's analysis was so well-reasoned that Conan couldn't think of any reason to refute it for a moment, so he could only hold his chin up and continue thinking.

Suddenly, Conan noticed that the wine glass in Takagi's hand was not stained with blood, but he remembered that when the body was first discovered, the wine glass was placed in a pool of blood next to the body.

If the murderer had placed the wine glass on the ground when committing the crime, there would be no reason why it wouldn't be stained with blood.

Yuan Jiaming was shot dead with a clean and neat method, and yesterday a Porsche 356A appeared in front of the Twin Towers.

Could it be they...

At the same time, Qin Zhibo's eyes were also on the wine glass and volcanic ash.

Although there was no investigation point this time, Qin Zhibo still remembered that at the last investigation point, the wine glass was "a symbol" and volcanic ash was "volcanic ash."

But in fact, according to the cleaner who discovered Councillor Oki's body last time, the wine glass and the volcanic ash are a whole, and the split wine glass was upside down on the volcanic ash.

Leaving aside the wine glasses, if volcanic ash is considered a symbol, then volcanoes are generally what volcanic ash represents.

Volcanoes, Mount Fuji...

Kisaragi-no-Mine is famous for its paintings of Mount Fuji.

Could it be him...

……

The police's on-site investigation did not bring any substantial progress, and the surrounding neighbors also did not have any eyewitness clues.

Qin Zhibo felt relieved as there were no eyewitnesses or clues, so he took the initiative to say goodbye and leave.

But as soon as he walked out the door, Conan followed him from behind.

“Uncle Qin, where are you going?”

"I want to..." Qin Zhibo thought for a moment, "go to Master Ruyue Fengshui's house."

Conan had a harmless smile on his face. "It just so happens that I know where Mr. Ruzuki's home is. Take me with you!"

After careful consideration, Conan refused to make preconceived judgments and decided to start investigating the murderer of the previous case.

As long as the murderer of Councillor Oki is found, we can determine whether Hara Yoshiaki's death is related to the organization.

In fact, this morning, Conan and the Junior Detective League visited the homes of Hidehiko Kazama and Minemizu Kisaragi to see if they could find some useful clues.

Although there are currently five suspects, Mio Tokiwa and Secretary Sawaguchi are women, and Conan judged that it would be difficult for a woman to amputate an adult with her strength.

Even if it is possible, there is no need to spend a lot of effort to do such a thing, unless the hatred in your heart reaches the extreme.

In short, the possibility of these two people committing a crime is relatively low, so we will leave them to the end to test them.

At Hidehiko Kazama's house, Conan learned that Hidehiko Kazama was proficient in CAD, had an only son, and did not have a high opinion of Councilman Ohki, but claimed that he had no grudges against Councilman Ohki.

At Rutsuki Minemizu's house, the Junior Detective Team didn't even get in. Rutsuki Minemizu said that children shouldn't learn to solve cases like police officers and refused to let them in.

In other words, the Ruyue Peak Water was not investigated.

However, it is precisely this Ruyue Peak water that is questionable because of the volcanic ash, which easily reminds people of a volcano.

But such a hint is too obvious, no murderer would do that.

But then again, it is also possible that Ruyuefengshui was deliberately creating confusion to make people think so and thus exclude him.

In short, the investigation into Ruyuefeng Water must continue.

What's more, Qin Zhibo, who always has the "correct answer", is going to investigate Ruyue Peak Water, which makes this guy even more suspicious.

This time I'm not going to copy the answer, I'm going to come up with the answer simultaneously!

Conan comforted himself in his heart.

Qin Zhibo thought about it and decided that he really needed a guide.

"Let's go then."

【Qin Zhibo and Edogawa Conan form a team】

……

Kisaragi Minezuki's residence is located on top of a hill in Nishitama City, facing Mount Fuji.

Conan walked up and knocked on the door. After a while, the door opened.

Seeing that it was Conan again, Ruyue Fengshui scowled and scolded him, "I told you, little kid, don't come over here!"

Just then, Qin Zhibo, who had seen off the taxi, came over.

"Children shouldn't come...but adults can at least come, right?"

Conan glanced at Qin Zhibo behind him with a smug look, and his sense of security doubled.

Hehe, didn’t you expect that?

I've brought a backer with me!

Seeing Qin Zhibo, Ruyue Fengshui was stunned.

After thinking for a moment, he made way for the entrance.
