Conan Rick's Investigator

A clear whistle echoed in the mansion, and a bird of prey spread its wings and flew from a high altitude onto Bai Ma Tan's protective gloves.

"His name is Watson, and he's a purebred Harris's Hawk."

"I don't know if it's because I often work together in the UK, but it seems to be particularly sensitive to the smell of blood..."

Looking at the shape of the white horse holding an eagle, Qin Zhibo understood a little.

Instead of cosplaying Sherlock Holmes, you’re cosplaying Quinn, right?

Can your eagle grab your back and move together in free flight?

Qin Zhibo really wanted to ask this question, but judging from his understanding of Bai Ma Tan, he was just pretending to be another round bee——

At this moment, Conan questioned, "The eagle likes the taste of blood. Maybe it's because it's hungry, or the iron taste in the blood attracts it..."

The white horse was stunned for a moment, looked at this "unromantic" kid, and shouted loudly "Peck hard, Watson!"

(No)

"Actually, I came all this way here just to see with my own eyes this tragedy that I had only heard about in rumors..."

"The secret of the past 40 years is about to be revealed. Just thinking about it is enough to arouse my intellectual excitement!"

Was your previous excitement irrational?

Qin Zhibo complained in his heart, while Mao Lilan beside him asked curiously, "Excuse me, what do you mean by the tragedy 40 years ago?"

Bai Ma Tan turned around in confusion, "Huh? Can't you see it?"

"Everywhere here is filled with the smell of blood, just like the entrance door behind you..."

Everyone turned around and saw a woman in a white coat holding a small spray bottle and spraying it at the entrance door.

After a few sprays, some unique light blue fluorescence appeared on the paint of the door.

"Based on my assessment, this is blood droplets that landed on the door at a 45-degree angle..."

"There are many bloodstains like this in the annex. The walls, floors, counters... Although someone has carefully wiped them, almost every part of the annex bears traces of blood."

The woman in the white coat turned around, her pretty face and tied-up wavy hair made her look very feminine.

Qin Zhibo looked at the information above her head: Ikumi Gunda, 29 years old, detective, social credit 5400.

Not counting Maori Kogoro, but including Conan...

At this point, all seven detectives have assembled!

Chapter 581 A group of drama queens...

“What a brilliant analysis…”

"I didn't expect you to carry LUMINOL reagents with you. You are indeed the former prosecutor, Ms. Gunda Ikumi."

Qiangtian Yumei smiled calmly and said respectfully: "It is my honor to have such praise, Master."

The two men complimented each other briefly, and the White Horse Detective continued, "The bloodstains here are quite historical. They must have been left behind by a tragedy 40 years ago."

"But unfortunately, neither the Metropolitan Police Department's archives nor the Hakuba family's criminal research laboratory have any information about this case. I guess it was concealed by some important figure..."

"It's possible this has something to do with the person who summoned us here."

Bai Ma Tan gave a hint with his eyes, which made the eyes of several famous detectives move slightly, and each of them had their own ideas.

"By the way, where is the host who invited us now?" Kogoro Mouri looked around and asked the question that most people had in mind.

"This... Actually, even I haven't seen him yet..." The maid looked a little uneasy.

Qin Zhibo asked the key point, "Then how did you know we were coming?"

"Actually, I got your list when I was interviewing. That interview was really weird."

"Weird?" Kogoro Mouri asked suspiciously.

"Yes." The maid nodded and tilted her head 30 degrees to reflect on her past.

"Because the salary for this job is very good, many people come for interviews."

"But when I entered the interview room, I found only a computer, a dinner instruction sheet, and a list of guests. No one was in the room."

"Helplessly, I could only follow the computer's instructions and go through all the documents. Suddenly, a voice rang out and words appeared on the screen, telling me that I had been accepted..."

Several detectives looked stern, their eyes complex and subtle.

The host of the party who refuses to show up in person, isn’t this the story of Agatha Christie’s famous novel “And Then There Were None”?

"Hehe... this is quite interesting. I'm already feeling eager to try it." Old Lady Qianjian drooped her eyelids and made a voice like an old witch.

"Hmph, me too... I'm so excited." A strange smile appeared on Mogi Harufu's lips.

Only Qin Zhibo walked up to Bai Machan, who was holding the eagle, and asked quietly, "Aren't you tired of holding it all the time?"

Bai Ma Tan: “…” Why is this man’s focus always so strange?

"Ahem, it's not easy..."

Bai Ma Tan raised his arm and the eagle flew away. This also gave Bai Ma Tan the opportunity to relax his shoulders, which had been a little sore from holding the eagle for a long time.

……

Next, everyone agreed to gather in the activity room later to kill time before dinner was ready.

But before that, the new arrivals have to go to the bedroom upstairs to put their luggage and have a short period of free time.

Kidd's character, "Mouri Kogoro," could not wait to approach Qin Zhibo and asked, "Great Detective, what do you think?"

"I watched with my eyes open..." Qin Zhibo answered simply.

Kidd: "..."

"I'm talking about this place. Actually, I wanted to come here to take a look secretly before, and I found some information..."

"The original owner of this place was called 'Karasuma Renya'. He was a very wealthy man at the time and lived to the ripe old age of 99."

"Along with this wealthy man, his countless fortune also disappeared from this world. Rumors are circulating that his fortune must be hidden in this place."

"For this reason, this mansion changed hands many times in the decades after Karasuma Renya's death. The most recent transaction was two years ago, when a mysterious person paid for it."

After hearing Kidd's information, Qin Zhibo felt a little emotional.

Why were these wealthy people so keen on building villas in such desolate forests? The Suzuki family, Karasuma, and the numerous other "haunted houses" he had visited.

Is it because he has too much money and is showing off?

But on second thought, even if I build a private pavilion in such a place, it would be a drop in the bucket compared to the family's wealth, but it can show off my noble status.

Unlike me, I have to work hard to save money even to buy a small apartment on the third floor.

The world of rich people is really hard to understand.

"Don't even think about the family fortune. It will definitely be inherited by future generations. It can't be ownerless..."

"And don't you think there's a flaw in this story? Since the house was auctioned off, who's collecting the money?"

Kidd followed this line of thought and said, "That's right..."

Qin Zhibo continued, "After putting down our luggage, let's split up and take a look around the mansion."

"I always feel like something bad is going to happen here..."

Kidd nodded, "Alright, I'll just see if there's anything I can steal."

Qin Zhibo looked somewhat helpless, as if his analysis had just been in vain.

Kidd used the face of "Mouri Kogoro" to show a playful and even somewhat naughty smile, "After all, a thief never leaves empty-handed~"

Qin Zhibo: "..."

"Please don't make that expression with Mori's face..."

"why?"

"So ooc..."

Kidd: "..."

The two of them took their luggage to the doors of their respective rooms indicated by the maid, opened the doors with their keys, and pushed them open to enter.

Qin Zhibo looked around and found the surroundings quite clean. It was obvious that they had been cleaned in advance.

I put the suitcase on the bed. There was nothing special in it, just a set of clothes.

After putting away the suitcase, Qin Zhibo was about to turn around and leave, but suddenly he felt a chill in his heart and looked back at the ceiling.

In fact, ever since entering this villa, Qin Zhibo felt as if he was being stared at by something. This feeling of being on edge was very unpleasant.

Perhaps it was some ability developed by the original owner of this body, but Qin Zhibo was very sensitive to the gaze coming from behind.

Suddenly, Qin Zhibo discovered a particularly protruding small dot on the bedroom chandelier.

When I stepped on the bed, I saw that it was a miniature camera of a relatively advanced model. It was obviously installed by the current owner of this villa.

Is this looking at me?

After getting out of bed, Qin Zhibo began to search other places in the room for other cameras, but made other unexpected discoveries.

Under the pillow, a fully loaded automatic pistol lay quietly.

This……

Qin Zhibo walked out of the room, and at that moment Kidd also poked his head out from the next room.

"I found the pistol in my room."

"Me too. There are also miniature cameras installed in the room."

"Oh? Is there such a thing? I didn't pay much attention to it..."

Kidd felt a little ashamed that he didn't notice the camera as a thief.

Qin Zhibo didn't care and continued his analysis: "It seems that all detectives probably have a gun in their rooms, but no one says it..."

Recalling the other detectives chatting and laughing calmly in the hall just now, Qin Zhibo secretly complained in his heart.

A bunch of drama queens...

Chapter 582 There is something weird about this place!

A bunch of drama queens...

Isn't it just acting? I can do it too!

Qin Zhibo's art and craft (performance) skill is level 2, and he has already possessed a certain level of professional acting skills, so he is qualified to be an actor.

When it comes to acting, he is a professional.

However, the problem itself cannot be ignored. Since the host has prepared a pistol, it means that there is a big problem with this invitation and it is definitely not just a simple dinner.

In this case, it is even more necessary to survey the terrain of the entire villa in advance.

"I'll investigate the third and fourth floors, and you go to the first and second floors."

Qin Zhibo gave a brief assignment and the two of them started to act.

……

The entire villa covers a huge area. Looking down from above, you can see that it has a square loop layout with a medium-sized courtyard in the middle.

Qin Zhibo is currently on the third floor. All the detectives' bedrooms are on the third floor, but they are located in different places in the corridor and are far apart from each other.

He walked around the corridor and found that all the rooms were locked. This resulted in not much to discover, except that there were also miniature cameras installed in the corridor.

However, on the corridor, Qin Zhibo could always feel a sharp gaze coming from behind.

Is someone watching through the camera?

Qin Zhibo went to the fourth floor of the annex, thinking that since no one would stop him, he would continue his investigation.

The layout of the fourth floor is roughly the same as that of the third floor. There are still some miniature cameras, and dark stains can be seen from time to time on the scarlet carpet.

According to what Ikumi Gunda said before, this might be blood.
