Conan Rick's Investigator

Conan wanted to stop it.

But as Conan's hand moved from Kinoshita Tomonori's back to his neck, he saw a small yellow disc stuck on Kinoshita Tomonori's collar.

Ok?

The shape of this thing is almost exactly the same as the bug in his hand, which made Conan stunned.

When did I install the bug?

Have I lost my memory?

While Conan was stunned, Tomonori Kinoshita had already explained the meaning of "X" with a smile.

"Haha...but kid, it's too early for you to try this~"

Kinoshita Tomonori stood up, not paying attention to the surprise on Conan's face, thinking that he was simply shocked by the word "***" standing for "kiss".

After Kinoshita Tomonori left, Conan lost the opportunity for a moment and did not install the eavesdropping device.

So, Conan pressed the button on his eye leg while trembling, turning on the sound receiving function of the eavesdropping device.

sizzle-

There was a series of electric current sounds coming from inside, but no human voice.

That wasn't a bug I installed unconsciously...

Conan breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, there was no inconsistency between his body and brain. Otherwise, this would definitely have to be reported to Haibara and studied as one of the side effects of drug A.

"But whose is it?"

Conan stood there, lost in thought.

……

On the ninth floor of the building, Qin Zhibo was still checking accounts in the accounting office.

Through Qin Zhibo's unremitting efforts, most of the financial reports have been screened out.

Of course, during this period, Qin Zhibo was not only checking the accounts, but also eavesdropping on Kinoshita Tomonori's movements.

When Qin Zhibo was planning to meet with Tomonori Kinoshita today as an "immortal", he thought of installing a bug on him to see how he would react.

As long as we can get their action plan in advance, we can make corresponding arrangements.

But what Qin Zhibo never expected was that the other party actually wanted to recruit him?

Chapter 682: Famous Reasoning × Famous Fan?

According to Tomonori Kinoshita, voodoo curses don't come without a price.

The essence of the voodoo curse is to sign a contract with Baron Samedi to take away the soul. Once the curse begins, it must continue, otherwise the soul will be taken away by Baron Samedi.

It's a bit like the Death Note. Once you write a name, you're not allowed to stop.

Kinoshita Satoshi believed that he had signed such a contract with Baron Samedi, which saved him from his destined death.

This is a good thing for Qin Zhibo, because the other party thinks that the voodoo curse is useless to him and will not attack him again.

Not only that, they also believed that they had to rely on killing people to survive and wanted to use this to threaten me.

In this way, before the soul-absorbing contract cycle arrives, I can rest assured that no one will attack me, but someone will monitor me.

In addition, Tomonori Kinoshita will hold a ceremony in the Toujin Forest on the Sabbath.

While reading "African Wanderings", Qin Zhibo learned that the Sabbath in Voodoo is Saturday, and every Saturday, Marie Laveau would hold a worship ceremony in the square in Benin.

In other words, Tomonori Kinoshita will hold the ceremony this Saturday.

You can ask Toru Amuro about the specific time later. After all, the range is still too small for Saturday this week.

As for the location, Qin Zhibo had never heard of the Toushen Forest and needed to look for it on the electronic navigation map.

While Qin Zhibo was checking the accounts and thinking about countermeasures, a striking message appeared at the edge of his vision.

[Audit completed, identified as false]

Ok?

Goods coming?

Qin Zhibo threw out a financial report and called Inspector Megure in.

"Brother Qin! Did you find the clue so quickly?"

Megure had already planned to leave work later, but when he suddenly heard a sound coming from inside, he immediately walked in happily.

"Hmm...it's okay, not too fast."

Qin Zhibo looked at the task time and saw that there were less than 1 minutes left before the 10-hour limit.

Level 3 accounting skills can only go so far.

Inspector Megure took the financial report from Qin Zhibo and saw that there were three names on it.

"Brother Qin, this financial report was completed by three people..."

After working hard for most of the day, I ended up with only one choice out of three.

Seeing that the mission time was almost up, Qin Zhibo didn't think much and said directly: "Then call all three people over."

Soon, all three were called into the accounting office.

Inspector Megure began the questioning, "What were you three doing when the power went out at the mall 50 minutes ago? Can anyone prove it for you?"

As a result, all three of them answered that they had just eaten alone nearby, and the restaurant owner should be able to prove that they had been there.

Hiroji Kido: "I ate Chinese fast food."

Shigeo Kuroiwa: "I eat Western fast food."

Kuniyoshi Bunta: "I eat Japanese fast food."

Although all three said they went to the restaurant for dinner, the restaurant owner probably didn't remember the exact time.

This made Inspector Megure feel troubled for a moment, but he still asked Takagi to ask for the locations of three restaurants and go to the owners to confirm the situation.

At this moment, Yuanzi, who wanted to show off his IQ, suddenly had an idea. He pounded his fist on his palm and thought of a "good inference".

"I know who the murderer is!"

"What! Are you telling the truth?"

Inspector Megure turned his head and looked at Suzuki Sonoko, his eyes full of hope.

In some previous cases, Suzuki Sonoko would occasionally transform into a famous detective, solving cases with her inexplicable waltz steps and handsome sleeping posture.

This made Megure trust Suzuki Sonoko to a certain extent.

However, due to her gender, Suzuki Sonoko could never become Megure's "younger brother".

At most, it’s “old sister”.

Seeing that she was valued by the police officer, Suzuki Sonoko smiled with satisfaction, put her hands on her slender waist, and began to reason.

"In fact, the real content of the death message left by the deceased is the deceased's favorite meal."

"In order to investigate whether the murderer had embezzled public funds, the deceased must have carefully followed and observed the murderer's every move, especially the changes in his diet."

"For example, after becoming wealthy, I often go to high-end restaurants..."

“Therefore, the deceased clearly knew which type of meal the deceased preferred.”

"And the ○, ×, and △ refer to the hamburger, fork, and sandwich in Western cuisine."

"The murderer is Mr. Shigeo Kuroiwa, who loves Western food!"

Suzuki Sonoko raised her finger handsomely and pointed at Kuroiwa Shigeo. The two people next to her were shocked and quickly gave up the C position that belonged to the murderer to Kuroiwa.

Ran Maoli, who was standing next to her, also shared her bestie's thoughts and said, "So that's how it is. Hamburgers are round, and the kanji for '×' also means 'fork'."

Teacher Judy also raised her finger and continued, "The △ symbol is shaped like a triangle sandwich!"

After being fooled by these three women, Inspector Megure also felt that it made sense, and turned to look coldly at Shigeo Kuroiwa.

"Is there anything else you would like to explain, Mr. Kuroiwa?"

Cold sweat broke out on Kuroiwa Shigeo's forehead, and he quickly explained, "I don't understand what you're talking about! Besides, this is my first time going to that Western fast food restaurant. I rarely eat Western food before!"

Shigeo Kuroiwa's words were full of true feelings, but everything was in vain under the iron-handedness of Inspector Megure.

"Mr. Heiyan, if there is anything, let's go back to the bureau and talk about it."

Seeing that Megure was in a hurry to get off work, Qin Zhibo quickly stopped him.

"Wait a moment, Officer Megure."

"I think Suzuki Sonoko's reasoning is quite interesting, but still a bit far-fetched."

Yuanzi: Good with rice?

"As my apprentice, Toru Amuro, previously judged, the deceased had already been attacked, and the power outage at the mall meant he must have been thinking of a more intuitive message before his death."

"This information is usually a unique code that everyone has - a name."

"Now, after comparing the names of these three people with the secret code, I have an idea."

"Mr. Kuniyoshi Bunta, don't you feel that your name contains a circle, an x, and a triangle?"

As Qin Zhibo spoke, he wrote Kuniyoshi Bunta's name on a piece of paper and showed it to everyone.

Inspector Megure frowned and stared carefully. Just as he was about to say that he couldn't see anything, he discovered some clues.

"I see! If I cover up the top half of 'Yoshibunta', it will look like ○×△!"

Qin Zhibo deliberately wrote the following part in a relatively abstract way, which made it easy for everyone to understand.

Then, Qin Zhibo said, "This code is actually incomplete. The deceased must have accidentally written the first word on the escalator pedal in the dark."

"If we can find that word again, everything will be clear..."

Chapter 683: Conan? Kudo? I can't tell them apart

As Qin Zhibo reasoned, cold sweat continued to flow down Kuniyoshi Bunta's temples.

After he finished his reasoning, he looked like a melting ice cream, starting from the top of his head.

The previous second, he was still immersed in the joy of being acquitted.

The next second, he fell from heaven to hell, and only Ace Attorney could save him.

Calm down!

you can!

Kuniyoshi Bunta encouraged himself in his mind and decided to struggle a little longer.

"The message you mentioned could have been written by the murderer to frame me..."

Qin Zhibo took two steps forward. "That's possible...but your company has a shredder. The evidence of embezzlement of public funds that was taken away should have been put into the shredder, right?"

"As long as we find those documents, there should be someone's fingerprints on them, right? After all, the murderer's gloves and the clothes he wore when committing the crime were thrown on other floors and not brought upstairs."

"Then let the police check the shredder, starting with your office..."

Qin Zhibo talked as he walked, getting closer and closer, until he and Kuniyoshi Bunta were at a distance where they could "sympathize with each other and couldn't help but fall in love with each other."

Kuniyoshi Bunta Tong Kong looked at the confident man in front of him with trembling hands, the corners of his mouth twitching slightly, and sweat pouring down his forehead.

Although Qin Zhibo was examining the prisoners on the surface, he was actually paying attention to the countdown of the side quest in his heart.
