"Yeah." Officer Megure nodded, seemingly agreeing with the clerk's statement, but then he turned around and said to his subordinate, Takagi Wataru, "Call the manufacturer of the game console and ask them to send someone to confirm it."

Seeing that Megure's investigation direction was going further and further astray, Qin Zhibo couldn't stand it anymore and quickly corrected it.

"Officer Megure, shouldn't we first investigate whether this person is carrying any poison?"

"After all, he was the last person the deceased had contact with before he died."

After hearing what Qin Zhibo said, Officer Megure suddenly realized what was going on and quickly turned the gun towards Shimizu Takashi.

"Sir, if you don't mind, could you please let us search you?"

Although Inspector Megure spoke politely, his eyes were stern and he would not tolerate any refusal.

Shimizu Takashi was stunned for a moment, then helplessly spread out his palms, "Sure, you can search as you like."

While Zhishui Gaobao was being taken away for a body search, Qin Zhibo carefully watched the surveillance video again.

After he whispered to the yellow-haired man and left, Qin Zhibo's attention was focused on the yellow-haired man and he did not see his next move.

However, the surveillance footage has revealed everything about him clearly.

On the screen, Takashi Shimizu walked a few steps towards another game console and suddenly squatted down.

Judging from the surveillance footage, his gesture showed that he was picking up something, but it was also possible that he was putting something down.

Because the surveillance cameras of this era have low pixels, we can't see clearly what's in his hand.

Since he allowed the police to search him so readily, he must have disposed of the poison.

This should be the only chance to get rid of the poison, because he had already discovered the death of the yellow-haired man and had been watching his movements.

Thinking of this, Qin Zhibo left the game center office and returned to the game hall.

Conan saw Qin Zhibo taking action, and although he tried hard to stop himself from doing the same thing as Qin Zhibo, otherwise he would always be led by the nose.

But a creature called "Scheming Frog" was stroking its belly, and Conan couldn't suppress his restless heart, so he followed it out.

……

As a murder had occurred, Qin Zhibo immediately called the police and cordoned off the scene. At this moment, more than 30 customers were stranded in the game hall.

I was originally here happily to play games, but suddenly a murder happened and I was detained as a suspect. Anyone would feel dissatisfied.

"I'm so unlucky that I encountered something like this. I will never come to this store again."

"Yeah yeah……"

When Conan's passive skill is activated, the sales of any business he has visited will drop rapidly, and in serious cases, the business may even go bankrupt.

But this will eventually rebound, because one day, when Conan's footprints are all over the streets and alleys of Tokyo, people will find that there is no "pure land" where no murder has occurred.

"You are not the unlucky ones. I am the most unlucky one."

"I don't know which wicked person threw a cigarette butt wrapped in chewing gum on the ground, and I just happened to step on it. I can't clean it up at all..."

“These are the new shoes I just bought!”

When Qin Zhibo heard this, he looked up and saw that the light at the investigation point disappeared in an instant.

this means……

Qin Zhibo quickly walked over and asked, "Excuse me, was the gum and cigarette butt you stepped on in front of the big screen just now?"

Qin Zhibo pointed to the place where Zhishui Gaobao had just squatted.

The passerby customer nodded, "Yeah, how did you know?"

Upon hearing this, Qin Zhibo immediately understood what was going on and continued to ask, "What about the chewing gum and cigarette butts? Where did you throw them?"

"That trash can over there, I threw it there..."

Hearing this, Qin Zhibo and Conan, who was listening, immediately ran to the trash can.

Open the lid of the barrel, and you will see a bright investigation point lying at the bottom of the dark barrel.

In the distance, Judy was leaning against the wall, looking at Qin Zhibo's investigation partner, Conan, with great interest.

This kid is kind of cool...

Cool kid......

Chapter 642 Conan: This is unscientific!

During the last bus incident, Judy discovered that this elementary school student wearing glasses seemed different from other elementary school students.

In this incident, Conan investigated the case like a detective.

Is he just a kid who simply admires detectives?

still is……

Qin Zhibo on this side turned over the trash can and poured out the "investigation point" from it.

As the passerby said, it was a gum foil with gum and cigarettes stuck on it.

However, there was a tiny sewing needle stuck inside the cigarette.

【Survey√】

[Do not lick the blood on the sewing needle]

[Has the investigation of all investigation points at the crime scene been completed? Will a scene reconstruction be conducted?]

The emergence of this investigation point can be said to be the last piece of the puzzle.

The tip of the needle was poisonous, and Shimizu Takashi must have used this thing to pierce the yellow-haired man's body, poisoning him to death.

Qin Zhibo was just about to bend down carefully to pick it up, but Conan took advantage of his short stature and bent down first to pick it up in his hand.

Qin Zhibo: "..."

"Conan, are you completely defenseless against the back of your head?"

"Hmm?" Conan wondered.

"There's someone behind you peeking at you."

At Qin Zhibo's reminder, Conan turned around and saw Teacher Judy standing by the wall like a nympho, secretly staring at him.

Seeing that she was exposed, Judy did not leave immediately with a guilty conscience, but stood up openly, smiled and waved her fingers to greet.

This woman was there when Huiyuan Ai was scared on the bus last time...

Could it be...

While Conan was distracted, Qin Zhibo reached out and took the important evidence back from Conan's hand.

Telling Conan that someone is watching is also to arouse Conan's curiosity and make him investigate the FBI.

Although he didn't have time to meddle in the affairs of this group of former colleagues, Conan would definitely be happy to help.

"By the way, Conan, please help your uncle call Inspector Megure and ask him to bring everyone out." Qin Zhibo said.

Conan was stunned for a moment. He was very familiar with this trick, falsely conveying the imperial order - using the detective's fame to make the police move to another place. In fact, the detective was drugged and could not move to other places.

The only difference from the past is that this time it is a true imperial decree.

"understood……"

……

In the office, Inspector Megure was still at a loss as to what to do with the case.

The body search of Shimizu Takashi naturally yielded nothing, except for a lighter, cigarettes, and chewing gum.

As for the scene where he squatted down after leaving the corpse, Shimizu Takahashi also explained that he was just picking up the lighter that fell on the ground.

At this time, Conan walked in and said, "Uncle Qin asked everyone to gather in the game room."

Megure, who was at a loss, immediately showed a happy expression on his face when he heard his younger brother calling him.

"Did Brother Qin solve the case?"

Conan nodded, "Probably."

As expected, you are Brother Qin!

Although he was a little excited inside, Inspector Megure's face remained serious. He waved his hand and led everyone to the game hall.

……

When they arrived at the game hall, Qin Zhibo presented the most important evidence he found and said to Zhishui Gaobao.

"I just found this in the trash can. You should be familiar with it, right?"

When Shimizu Takashi saw this thing, he was immediately surprised.

Qin Zhibo began to reason, "Although the brand of these cigarettes and chewing gum are different from the ones you carry with you, you probably wouldn't have guessed that the customer who stepped on them clearly remembered where they happened."

"That's exactly where you were leaning over in the surveillance footage."

Inspector Megure took a closer look and saw a tiny poison needle stuck in the cigarette butt. He immediately understood what it was used for.

"Takagi, go find that customer!"

Qin Zhibo continued, "The surveillance camera is still working. As long as it records that person walking past the ground where you were squatting, everything will be revealed."

Two drops of cold sweat rolled down Shimizu Takashi's forehead, his lips trembled, and he wanted to defend himself but couldn't find a reason to explain the past.

As long as the yellow-haired man's blood and poison are detected on the poison needle, it can be proved that it is the murder weapon.

There is surveillance footage as evidence, so even if you want to say that someone else framed you by putting it on the ground, it is impossible.

Because the body appeared and was discovered so quickly, as long as he was alone on the surveillance footage, he had the opportunity to place the murder weapon on the ground.

Moreover, Takashi Shimizu did not expect that the passerby who originally planned to take the evidence away would pay special attention to the chewing gum and cigarettes under his feet because he bought a pair of new shoes.

Looking at Shimizu Takashi's head no longer held high, Conan knew it was over.

Mao Lilan sighed and said, "Fortunately, there are security cameras installed in this place. Otherwise, it would be very difficult for Mr. Qin to find evidence, right?"

"It would be great if every public place was equipped with anti-theft cameras..." This is a beautiful wish that Ran Maori has for the world.

Conan put his hands in his pockets and shook his head.

"No, even if there are no cameras, Uncle Qin has other evidence he can find."

"The murderer's original plan was to kill the deceased, then give him some game coins and continue the game."

"He will choose the character 'Lucas' for the deceased known as 'Rice Flower Caesar', and 'Lucas of the Cup Household' will choose the other person's character 'Caesar'."

"The characters on both sides are swapped, but other people watching the game will naturally think that both sides are manipulating their own famous characters."

"That way, everyone will mistakenly believe that the deceased was still alive during the game, and the murderer will have an alibi."

At this time, Judy wondered, "But at the game settlement screen, other people can still tell who is controlling which character based on the win-lose screen on the screen."

Conan looked up at Judy, thought for a moment, and felt that it would be better to finish his reasoning.

After you finish your reasoning, the other party may just think you are a smart kid; if your reasoning comes to an abrupt end, it actually means that you have some unspeakable secret.

"As long as it's a draw, that's fine... If it's a draw, the word 'DRAW' will appear on both sides' screens, and no one will be able to see it."

"But he didn't expect that before starting the game, the coin box of the game machine was cleaned by the store clerk. Now there are only two game coins in it..."

Conan suddenly turned to look at the weak shop assistant who was watching the fun, and asked politely in a childish voice, "Brother Clerk, can you help me open the coin box of this game machine?"

Conan's talent of granting whatever he wants was activated. The clerk thought for a moment, took out the key from his waist, and opened the coin box of the game machine.

While the clerk was opening the coin box, Conan continued to reason calmly.

"There are two game coins here. One is the game coin the deceased invested in the game he was practicing before his death."

"The other one was a game coin that the murderer gave to the deceased to start a battle between the two of them."

"And the murderer must have been careless and didn't clean the fingerprints off..."

Conan's words stopped abruptly at this moment, and Judy and Mao Lilan who were watching on the side were also stunned.

Because the moment the clerk opened the coin box, there was only one game coin lying quietly inside.

Conan: This is unscientific!
