Conan Rick's Investigator

This is what celebrities need. If they never appear in the public eye, the outside world will speculate that something might have happened to you.

Such news may appear in gossip and entertainment newspapers and magazines - American popular actress Chris Wynyard has disappeared after attending director Sakamaki's memorial service in Japan, and is suspected of being married?

Or kidnapped?

Blocked?

Caught for a crime?

The bad thing about being a celebrity is that wherever they go, they become the subject of flash cameras and the focus of discussion.

But there is no way around it. Even if Vermouth's face does not give her any special identity, just walking on the street will attract countless eyes and attract the pursuit of scouts.

Therefore, Vermouth learned the art of disguise from the world-class magician Toichi Kuroba, which can also be called the art of changing heads in one second.

With this technique, Vermouth began to switch her identities smoothly.

Men, women, beauties, mortals, old men, old women... hence the nickname "The Witch with a Thousand Faces".

Anyone who has seen her disguise skills will be amazed and may even be willing to fall at her feet like Calvados.

She can do magic, right?

I can't help myself, I don't know how to stop myself...

After walking out of the bathroom, Vermouth returned to the bedroom, picked up a glass of vermouth that had been poured on the small round table, and gently put it into her throat.

Drinking before going to bed is Vermouth's habit.

Because Vermouth has suffered from insomnia for a long time, she needs to get slightly drunk in order to fall asleep.

As for the cause of insomnia, it is related to some of Vermouth's unusual personal experiences...

After taking a sip of wine, Vermouth sat leisurely in the chair, picked up today's newspaper at hand, and opened it to see if there was any news to pass the time.

As soon as she flipped the newspaper, Vermouth saw an acquaintance.

It's Toru Amuro...

Toru Amuro was hugged by a short-haired high school girl wearing a hairpin, and the distance between the two seemed very intimate.

Vermouth: You are such a Bourbon!

Chapter 689 Conan: Chao!

Looking at the news headlines in the newspaper, Vermouth's face was a little surprised.

Breaking News! Is the future head of the Suzuki Group suspected of having a boyfriend?

"Suzuki Group?"

Vermouth thought about it and vaguely remembered that this consortium was currently the largest consortium in Japan and was also quite famous internationally.

At least that's the case on the surface.

Why would Bourbon want to get close to such a wealthy woman?

Is this a task assigned by the organization?

Bourbon is an excellent intelligence officer and all his actions are meaningful.

"..."

Vermouth thought about it in her mind, assuming that Bourbon's approach to the consortium's daughter was a task arranged by the organization, what would happen next.

Fall in love → get married → kill his wife → become the head of the consortium → swallow up the consortium → the consortium is controlled by the black organization

"wrong……"

Vermouth shook her head, feeling that her thinking was a little too simple.

For a family consortium like this, it is almost impossible to control the consortium as a son-in-law.

Even if there is an organization helping behind the scenes and intimidating and assassinating those who get in the way, the profit cycle is too long. It will take at least five or ten years to get it done, and it will also attract the attention of relevant parties.

The current policy of the organization is to keep a low profile and become a dark entity that people cannot detect, rather than doing something eye-catching like "embezzling a large conglomerate."

Therefore, Vermouth felt that Bourbon's best strategy was to make the daughter of the consortium fall madly in love with her and use her as a puppet to control the consortium.

Ruling behind the scenes?

A Chinese word suddenly popped up in Vermouth's head.

Although it seems inappropriate for Bo, a professional intelligence officer, to do this kind of work, it does not waste his handsome face.

"How old is Bourbon?" Vermouth held up the wine glass with a playful smile, "25?"

"No... should be around 30?"

Vermouth is guessing Bourbon's age.

Although Bourbon's complexion looks healthy and youthful, considering that he has been playing for the organization for several years, he is definitely not too young. A conservative estimate is that he is in his thirties.

The daughter of the consortium was a high school girl, and Bourbon was at least a dozen years older than her.

"It seems that age is not a problem after all..."

Vermouth smiled slightly and looked to the side.

On the wall of the hotel room, a dartboard was hung with three photos attached to it.

A serious work photo of Sulli was placed in the center of the target, with an "X" drawn on her cold face.

If it was a regular "X", you might think it was a kiss mark.

But the "X" was a bit big and covered Shirley's entire body.

Next to Shirley, there are two photos, the protagonists of which are Ran Mouri and Conan, and there is no "X" on them.

Suddenly, Vermouth threw a dart gracefully.

The next moment, the dart hit Shirley's head.

……

Chuidu Villa.

"I see. I understand..."

Kogoro Mouri hung up the phone with a heavy face, turned around and announced to everyone that the Snowstorm Villa mode was officially started.

"There was an avalanche at eight o'clock this evening, which blocked the tunnel we came in through."

"The police can't guarantee they'll be able to get into the mountains tomorrow..."

Some people were nervous, some were heavy-hearted, and some were secretly happy.

Qin Zhibo looked around at the reactions of everyone in the villa, and they all looked suspicious.

First of all, let’s talk about Eryuan’s girlfriend, Yazi. Scientific research shows that the vast majority of homicides occur between couples and family members.

The second is Fenchuan. He knew that he would be a light bulb, but he still followed him here. He is also Eryuan’s photographer. Maybe they are ex-boyfriend and girlfriend.

Finally, there is a duo of hunters, one is bald and the other wears glasses.

These two people have not appeared in the villa all day, and I don’t know what they are busy with in the mountains.

On the way back, the two were still discussing something in a low voice.

Moreover, when they learned that the police would not be able to arrive at the villa for a while, the two of them seemed very happy.

After summarizing the current relationships between the characters, Qin Zhibo decided to investigate the camera taken from Eryuan first.

There are two machines on the table, a video recorder and a camera.

The investigation point only appeared on the camera, but Qin Zhibo also brought back the video recorder.

First open the cover of the VCR. The tape has not been used and no valid content has been recorded.

I believe the survey point is indeed correct.

At this moment, Qin Zhibo glanced at Conan who was climbing onto the table next to him, and then looked at the work gloves on his two little hands that he found from somewhere, and immediately realized that this kid also wanted to be investigated.

Qin Zhibo looked at the video recorder in his hand, pretended to have suddenly realized something, and then handed the video recorder to Conan.

"Conan, do you want to see it?"

Conan noticed Qin Zhibo's expression just now, and thought that Qin Zhibo had seen some clues from the video recorder, so he nodded quickly, his eyes full of desire.

I want to! I want to! I want to!

"Here you go."

So, Qin Zhibo handed the useless video recorder to Conan, who took it and began to study it.

Qin Zhibo smiled with satisfaction and turned to investigate the camera.

【Survey√】

[The deceased's camera might have captured something]

The focus of the camera investigation was the photos inside. Qin Zhibo opened the back cover of the camera and found a roll of film inside.

Maori Kogoro, who had calmed everyone down, came over. Seeing the film in Qin Zhibo's hand, he said helplessly, "There might be some useful information in it... but the forensic experts haven't arrived yet, so there's no way to develop it."

As soon as Maori Kogoro finished speaking, Konakawa came over and said, "No, if it's just to develop the film, I can do it too."

"Because Eryuan always wants to see the photos immediately after taking them, he always carries developing equipment with him."

As he said that, Fenchuan was about to take the film from Qin Zhibo's hand.

Originally, Qin Zhibo was going to give the film to Fenchuan, but after thinking about it, he decided to develop the photos himself.

After all, this is crucial evidence, and the person who might be the murderer cannot be allowed to have access to it alone.

"It's easy now that I have the equipment. I can also develop photos."

"But Miss Fanchuan can come and help me..."

Qin Zhibo did not completely refuse Fenchuan's help, and the two walked out of the living room together.

……

Conan sat on the chair and studied the video recorder carefully for a long time, but he didn't find anything unusual. There wasn't even a second of video in it.

It's strange, I can't see anything wrong...

But Qin Zhibo's expression of sudden enlightenment made Conan very concerned.

After all, Qin Zhibo has the "correct answer". His unparalleled observation skills can always see the clues hidden behind the surface of the case.

Maybe I missed something important.

Observation...

observe……

View...

Eh?

Conan looked around and found that Qin Zhibo had left.

When I turned around and asked Mao Lilan, I found out that Qin Zhibo had gone to develop photos.

At this time, Conan realized that he had been tricked and the real clue was the camera.

Blanch!

Chapter 690: Green and Panic

With the old woman's consent, Qin Zhibo and Fenchuan found a windowless bathroom and walked in with the photo developing equipment.

Place the equipment in a fixed position, first prepare the chemicals used for developing photos, prepare the developing tanks, and configure various lights.

Developing photos is a two-step process: developing the film and developing the photos.

Among them, developing black and white film does not require a darkroom, only a dark bag is needed.

Qin Zhibo has skills in art and craft (photography), which includes knowledge of developing photos, so he can easily handle the job of developing photos.
