Conan Rick's Investigator

If it were any other time, it would be fine, but with Qin Zhibo here, something might happen.

This is what Conan, who is the god of death but has no self-awareness, thinks in his heart.

……

6:00pm, Villa Restaurant.

"I hope our Kinoshita Furniture business will prosper. Cheers!"

"cheers!"

At the table, everyone raised their glasses to celebrate.

The main course for dinner is steak, followed by snacks.

President Madao did not stay for too long. After dinner, he left early on the pretext of having business to attend to.

Tomonori Kinoshita was going to watch an adventure-related video and would not be able to chat about literature with Qin Zhibo until 11:15 pm.

After the two left, the remaining people began to reveal their motives.

To sum it up, both the vice president and the secretary are dissatisfied with President Madao, and both of them are made difficult by Madao at work.

The dinner ended in a not-so-pleasant atmosphere.

In the following time, Qin Zhibo sat in the living room and chatted with Mao Li Ran, Conan and the vice president.

Of course, during the conversation, Qin Zhibo did not forget to place a guard totem in President Madao's room.

With the guard totem, he can see who wants to attack him.

But from after dinner until 11:15, the president's room was safe and sound. President Majima was watching TV in the room by himself, laughing from time to time.

Until Tomonori Kinoshita returned to the living room and started discussing literary matters with Qin Zhibo.

The two discussed many things, such as the construction of a unified worldview, the selection of style and subject matter, how to stimulate readers' interest in reading, etc.

This series of professional knowledge discussions left Conan and Ran Maoli a little stunned.

When did Qin Zhibo know so much about writing novels?

Judging from the situation, he is not really going to develop into a novelist in the future, right?

If this is true, Conan feels a little regretful in his heart.

After all, being a novelist will definitely affect his detective work, and Conan still hopes that Qin Zhibo will not waste his talent and be a detective seriously.

Little did people know that Qin Zhibo had ghostwriters to write his novels, so he would not be affected at all.

……

Qin Zhibo and Kinoshita Tomonori talked until 1 o'clock in the morning, exhausting the patience of Maoli Ran and Conan. They finally ended the conversation and went back to their rooms to sleep.

At this time, the president was still alive.

Chapter 664 Tonight, Sleepless

At around 1 a.m., Qin Zhibo took a final look and found that President Madao was still alive.

The slightly obese body lay on the bed, with the chest rising and falling evenly.

Did Conan not trigger the murder this time?

After the last incident at the Water Tower, Qin Zhibo knew that Conan was not 100% certain to trigger the murder.

It’s just that the last configuration was basically all acquaintances.

Conan's acquaintances can also be understood as people who are immune to Conan's Death buff, which is similar to the concept of carriers of biochemical virus antibodies.

But this time there are basically no acquaintances, plus the president and his subordinates who resent him, all kinds of buffs are maxed out.

That doesn't make sense...

Qin Zhibo lay on the bed, his consciousness gradually becoming dizzy and he fell into a deep sleep.

……

At the same time in Tokyo, in an apartment.

Toru Amuro lay on the bed, staring at the photo in his hand in a daze.

Just as I was about to get off work in the afternoon, Yotsuya from the Ghost Apartment called and said that I could come and pick up the photos.

“You can never imagine what’s in the photo~”

After leaving the office, Toru Amuro immediately rushed to the Yotsuya family and got the specially processed "ghost photo" as he wished.

Just as Yotsuya said, the true identity of the "ghost" in the photo is an extraordinary existence.

It was a humanoid form, but it did not look like an ordinary human.

She was thin, wearing a black evening gown, a black hat, and a monocle, looking like a gentleman.

However, the person wearing this attire is a skeleton.

There are a pair of black holes on the skull, which seem to be connected to the endless abyss of the universe, flashing with indescribable chaotic light.

A pair of gray skeleton hands leaned on a skull-shaped cane, with their slender fingers casually clasped together.

There was no special movement in her body, she just lowered her skull.

She lowered her head and ignored Yoshio Takashige and Takashi Shimizu, the two dying people, and she herself seemed like a guide at the crossroads between life and death, supervising life and death.

Just as Toru Amuro was engrossed in watching, the skull in the photo suddenly turned its head and looked towards Toru Amuro outside the photo.

what!

Toru Amuro's body reacted to the stress and he threw the photo away.

Toru Amuro: Will -10

Yotsuya quickly picked up the photos as if they were treasures, only to find that the "ghosts" in both photos had disappeared.

"How can this be!"

"It's gone! Why is it gone?!"

"what--"

Yotsuya made an incredible scream, attracting the remaining residents of the apartment building.

However, before anyone else came to inquire about the situation, Toru Amuro climbed out the window and left with two photos in his hand.

At this moment, Toru Amuro, who was lying on the bed, was looking at these two photos.

Two unremarkable photos, one of an interrogation room and one of a game room.

However, the skeleton ghosts in the two photos have disappeared without a trace.

Not only that, even the videos saved in Toru Amuro's computer seemed to have been manipulated by someone. No matter how many times he watched them, he could not see any ghost images.

All your work in vain?

Do not……

Looking at these two photos, Toru Amuro fell into insomnia.

……

Back to Shizuoka Prefecture, to President Majima's villa.

At 3 o'clock in the middle of the night, Mao Lilan woke up and wanted to relieve the bladder pressure.

Although Mao Lilan felt a little timid about getting up to go to the bathroom at night, especially in such an unfamiliar big villa.

But fortunately, there are no ghost stories here. Mao Lilan secretly encouraged herself in her heart and pushed the door open and walked out in her pajamas.

Conan just fell asleep after holding his breath for more than half an hour, facing the cute sleeping face of Mouri Ran.

He was sleeping soundly at this time and did not notice that the seat next to him was empty.

……

After walking out of the room, Mao Lilan tiptoed along the dim light in the corridor and found the toilet.

dart out--

After going to the bathroom, Mao Lilan went to the sink to wash her hands, but noticed that the moonlight outside the window was beautiful.

Ran Maoli, who loves to appreciate the beautiful scenery, is not afraid of the coldness on her body. She walks to the window and looks up at the bright moon in the sky.

"What a beauty……"

Mao Lilan sighed, not paying any attention to what was behind her.

Behind Ran Mouri, in a dark corner where the moonlight could not reach, a figure was walking out from the cabinet and slowly approaching.

A pair of open black hands gradually reached towards Mao Lilan's back.

……

what--

A girl's scream was heard in the villa, and Qin Zhibo opened his eyes immediately as if he had a stress response.

Someone is calling!

Qin Zhibo put on the brown windbreaker draped over a chair nearby and pushed the door open to go out.

At this time, Conan from the next room also pushed the door open barefoot and ran out. With his absolute pitch, he knew whose voice it was better than Qin Zhibo.

What's more, the person next to you is missing, and you can guess who it is.

"It's Xiaolan!"

"Xiaolan is missing!"

Conan was talking to Qin Zhibo, and he didn't even pretend to call her "Sister Xiaolan".

what--

At this time, screams were heard again from the corridor on one side, allowing Qin Zhibo and Conan to identify the direction.

The two ran in this direction and saw Mao Lilan in a toilet, who was so scared that she fell on her butt on the floor.

"Xiaolan! What's wrong?!"

Conan hurried over to show concern, while Ran Mouri looked at Qin Zhibo, her trembling hands clasped together in front of her chest.

"Just now, there was someone behind me..."

"Is he a pervert?" Qin Zhibo asked.

"No, no." Mao Lilan quickly shook her head and said in a confused tone: "I think I have seen that person's face..."

"Looks like the guy I saw in the arcade last time."

"Game hall?" Qin Zhibo and Conan were both puzzled.

Mao Lilan saw this and quickly reminded him, "It's the case..."

"deceased……"

……

Other people in the villa also rushed over after hearing the noise. The housekeeper at the front desk, Tomonori Kinoshita, the vice president, and the secretary had left last night, so they were not in the villa at the moment.

"What happened?"

Everyone asked her questions and Ran Maoli told them that she got up at night and was attacked from behind.

"How could such a thing happen! Call the police immediately!" the vice president immediately ordered.

The housekeeper was a little confused, but she turned around and ran to the front desk to call the police.

Qin Zhibo looked around at the people present and found that there was one person missing.

"Where's President Majima?"

As he spoke, Qin Zhibo adjusted his vision to the guard totem and saw President Madao who was "calm in the face of danger".

President Madao was still lying on the bed, but it was not that he didn't want to get up, but that a big bloody hole had been stabbed in his chest by a dagger, and he could no longer get up.

"President Madao might be in trouble. Come with me."
