Conan Rick's Investigator

Chapter 640 No one has Conan's background

During the preparation time, the clerk who looked a little cowardly that Qin Zhibo had seen before came over and took the coins from the game machine.

"Okay, what are you dithering about?"

As the yellow-haired man spoke, he kicked the clerk.

This made Ran Mouri and Conan, who had a strong sense of justice, feel indignant, but seeing the clerk's submissive look, they could not say anything.

"I'm so angry, he's just a little jerk..."

Suzuki Sonoko was good at mimicking and quickly grasped the essence of Qin Zhibo's words.

Qin Zhibo had already focused his attention on the man named Shimizu Takashi.

He stood there smoking silently, but his eyes were always fixed on the yellow-haired man who was playing against a computer character to warm up his skills.

This seemingly cynical little punk also seems to take this competition very seriously.

At this moment, Zhishui Gaobao suddenly turned his head and looked straight at Qin Zhibo.

This surprised Qin Zhibo a little. He didn't have time to dodge the gaze the first time, and dodging the gaze the second time seemed a bit deliberate.

The two's eyes met in the crowd.

Did he recognize me?

If he is really the "Lucas" cursed by the deceased, and he was also involved in the previous department store case, he should be able to recognize who he is.

However, Shimizu Takashi just glanced at Qin Zhibo and did not continue to look at him.

"Well, shall we go somewhere else first?"

"Yeah, there are game consoles in other places anyway~"

Ran Mouri wanted to go home because she had to go home and cook for Kogoro Mouri.

But Suzuki Sonoko didn't want to leave yet. She really wanted to see the yellow-haired man lose the game, so she suggested playing other games first.

Judy nodded, "Then I'll play this racing game some more. Once I'm done, we can go."

Racing games are also one of Judy's main game projects, but her driving skills have never been recognized by Shuichi Akai, which is a bit regrettable.

Qin Zhibo apparently followed the three girls to the racing game, but in fact he was still observing the movements of Shimizu Takashi, the "Cup Lucas".

Conan noticed that Qin Zhibo had been observing the movements on the other side, and he also looked over curiously.

Could it be that Qin Zhibo's super observation skills have discovered something unusual again?

Conan, who was confused, could only blindly follow Qin Zhibo and look to the other side.

After waiting for a few minutes, Shimizu Takashi put out his cigarette and prepared to start the battle.

Swah——

Suddenly, some of the lights in the game hall went out. It seemed that the game hall knew that this match was attracting much attention, so they deliberately made the lights on the big viewing screen brighter.

Although the environment was a little dim, it did not pose a problem for Qin Zhibo. As long as he turned on the night vision goggles, he could continue observing.

After putting out his cigarette, Takashi Shimizu did not go to his own game console, but instead walked to the game console operated by the yellow-haired man.

He put one hand on the yellow-haired man's shoulder, and his back just blocked Qin Zhibo's view, as if he was discussing something with the yellow-haired man.

The discussion didn't take long, about ten seconds, and then Takashi Shimizu walked towards his game console with one hand in his pocket.

However, in this short period of time, the investigation point appeared in Qin Zhibo's field of vision, which was on the yellow-haired man.

Qin Zhibo hurried over and started investigating.

-

I got a seemingly useless skill from the little punk.

However, this was also within Qin Zhibo's expectations, because this little punk was unemployed, and it would be difficult for him to master any useful skills.

Side quest: Find out the murderer of this case

Task requirements: time limit 1 hour

Task reward: 300 general skill proficiency, 100 social credit

The system prompt appeared at the right time, and Conan also ran over following Qin Zhibo's steps at this time.

When Conan saw Qin Zhibo's face change and he suddenly ran over, he realized that Qin Zhibo might have discovered something wrong, so he hurried over.

When I ran over, I found that the yellow-haired man's eyes were wide open, his mouth was slightly open, and the pain was gradually spreading.

"Sister Xiaolan! Call an ambulance!"

Conan raised his hand and felt the yellow-haired man's pulse, and added: "And call Inspector Megure as well!"

On the other side, when Ran Mouri heard Conan's shout, she reacted for two seconds and then immediately made a phone call.

Ran Mouri and Conan are so familiar with this set of procedures that they can't be more familiar with it. Even if it is a little scoundrel with bad character, he will follow the standard procedures of respecting life.

Qin Zhibo looked at Conan next to him and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

It seems that the person you can't offend the most is Conan.

The previous things like Suzuki Sonoko's conglomerate background and Judy's FBI background are all weak now.

When Conan wants to take revenge on someone, he basically doesn't hold grudges overnight. He will go to hell on the same day.

No one has a stronger background than Conan...

At this time, Shimizu Takashi came over from the other seat and asked with a puzzled look on his face, "What happened? Why hasn't the game started yet?"

"If there's no competition today, I'll leave first."

Shimizu Takashi's words seemed to be directed at the yellow-haired man, but the yellow-haired man was already dead.

Qin Zhibo remembered what Zhishui Gaobao had done just now and pressed his shoulder.

"You can't go."

"The police will come and question you later..."

……

Not long after, Inspector Megure arrived at the game hall.

"It's you again..."

Megure was no longer surprised to see a group of familiar faces.

Qin Zhibo led Officer Megure directly to the corpse and briefly explained the situation.

"The deceased is this person. He was going to play a game with this man today..."

"After the lights were turned off, I saw him come over and talk to the deceased in the seat for a while..."

"When I came back to check, the little punk was already dead."

"Little punk?" Megure looked confused.

"Oh, that's the deceased."

Inspector Megure roughly understood what had happened and immediately cast a stern look at Shimizu Takashi.

"Hey, hey, please spare me..."

Shimizu Takashi put on a smile and begged for mercy. "At that time, I just talked to him about whether we could exchange seats, but he didn't say a word to me, so I walked away in frustration."

"I didn't kill him..."

Chapter 641 Cool kid...

In the game room.

As a bystander, Conan watched Shimizu Takashi defending himself without any hesitation. Instead, he became more determined in his own thoughts and showed a look that showed that he had seen through everything.

This man is the murderer.

In fact, before the police arrived, Conan investigated Shimizu Takashi's body.

The deceased appeared to have died of suffocation, but there were no signs of a rope strangling his neck, so it was most likely that he died of poisoning.

But this time there was no bitter almond taste in the victim's mouth, which meant that the murderer did not use cyanide, which is popular among Americans.

New poison...

This is a challenge for Conan.

However, it is almost certain that the murderer is this "Lucas Beihu", because he was the only man who had approached the deceased before, and Qin Zhibo, who has super observation skills, had been watching him.

Qin Zhibo must have seen something...

Conan glanced at Qin Zhibo who was having a conversation with Inspector Megure.

"I think it's possible it was poisoning. I suggest sending it for a forensic autopsy to determine the cause of death first."

Megure, who was used to being told what to do, nodded in agreement, "Okay, then let's send the body away first."

Although the investigation into Qin Zhibo's body has confirmed that he was poisoned, the specific poison is still unclear.

As for other investigation points, Qin Zhibo had completed all of them before the police arrived.

There was only one investigation point on the yellow-haired man's body, a pinhole on the inside of the right arm of the corpse.

That was probably a sign of poison being injected, and since he was wearing a sleeveless vest, it was easy to find.

As for the murderer, it is obviously "Lucas Beido" - Shimizu Takashi.

Before the yellow-haired man died, he was the only one who approached the yellow-haired man from the right side and had the opportunity to inject the poison.

At that time, Shimizu Takashige always had his back facing him. Although I couldn't see him doing anything, his other hand was indeed groping for something in his pocket.

Coincidentally, this game hall has surveillance cameras that are rarely seen in a million years.

"Inspector Megure, look!"

Qin Zhibo pointed at the camera in the corner of the ceiling. Megure looked up and an expression of joy immediately appeared on his face.

"It's a burglar-proof camera! How rare!"

Takagi Shigeru also asked the store clerk whether all the images captured by the camera were recorded.

After getting the nod from the store clerk, everyone went to the surveillance room to check the video.

……

Soon, the scene of Zhishui Gaobao approaching the yellow-haired man appeared on the surveillance screen.

With the video footage as evidence, Takashi Shimizu could not deny it.

"Hello..."

"I did approach him, but I just wanted to change seats with him, but he didn't answer me, so I walked away..."

"Why did you change seats with him?" asked Officer Megure.

Shimizu Takashi shook his arms. "It's not because of anything else, it's just that this guy has beaten me several times in a row in that seat before, so of course I want to sit in his seat to see what's different."

Suzuki Sonoko beside her also nodded in agreement: "Yes, yes, when Xiaolan sat in that seat before, he chased her away, saying that this was his throne. I was so angry at that time..."

Although Suzuki Sonoko said this, she was still very glad that the yellow-haired man took over Mouri Ran's position, and she had a firm idea in her heart.

I will never play video games in public again. It’s too dangerous!

At this time, the store clerk stepped forward and hurriedly explained: "I can guarantee that there is absolutely no problem with the machine!"
