Conan Rick's Investigator

[There's a break in the middle of the bloodstain, probably something stuck to something else]

Conan, who was searching for clues to solve the case, took a closer look and noticed the blood-stained sweatshirt.

Seeing that Conan and Qin Zhibo were both looking at the eye-catching sweatshirt, Fanchuan explained: "This is the top that Nigaki wore when he was injured yesterday."

"What kind of injury did you suffer?" Qin Zhibo asked what Conan wanted to ask first.

"Yesterday, when he was cutting chocolate with a knife, he accidentally cut his left thumb. Although the wound was not big, he got nervous when he saw blood, so he waved his left hand vigorously."

"That's when the blood accidentally splashed onto my clothes."

"Later, the grandmother-in-law hurriedly brought a medical kit... Ayako was so worried about him that she ran to his room and secretly cried..."

"I had a hard time suppressing Eryuan by myself."

Fenchuan spoke out a lot of information continuously. When he said one of his sentences, Qin Zhibo saw the investigation point flash by again.

Please select the type of language survey.

[Intimidation] or [speech skills] or [charm] or [venomous tongue]?

Qin Zhibo reacted quickly and chose the most normal way of speaking.

"Why is Miss Ako crying? And why did she go to Mr. Nigaki's room to cry?"

"If it's just a minor injury on your finger, you wouldn't cry, right?"

Fenchuan was stunned for a moment, then replied, "Azi went to Eryuan's room to look for clothes. After all, she needed to change the bloodstained clothes..."

"As for crying, it's probably because Ayako is a bit weak in character and loves Nigaki very much."

"When Yazi and Eryuan first started dating, Xia Ye was strongly against it, but Yazi still wanted to be with Eryuan despite the opposition."

Chapter 695 History is always surprisingly consistent

A few words from Mika Fenchuan revealed some extremely important information.

Ayako cried last night, and her brother Xia also opposed Niyuan, his sister's boyfriend.

The content uncovered at the investigation point is often related to the case.

If we put these two together, I'm afraid we will come to a conclusion.

Xia was also killed by Eryuan, and Yazi happened to know about this when she was searching the room last night.

But on second thought, Xia Ye and the former owner of the villa died in an avalanche. How did Eryuan happen to trigger the avalanche?

Also, what did Ako see that made her think that Nigaki was related to her brother's death?

At present, the only item missing from Eryuan is the videotape of the VCR.

Maybe there's some information recorded on the videotape?

There were also two hunters who secretly came to look through Eryuan and Ako's luggage, and after Eryuan's death, they kept discussing the "tape" with a suspicious attitude, as if they also had some ideas about the videotape.

What information might be contained in the videotape, and it also concerns Eryuan, Xia Ye, and the two hunters...

Thinking in his mind, Qin Zhibo turned around and quickly left the room.

While Kogoro Mouri was searching two hunters in another room, Qin Zhibo happened to come to the hunters' room unnoticed.

When I opened the door, I saw two hunting rifles standing next to the table.

Qin Zhibo put on white gloves, checked whether there were any bullets in the hunting rifle chamber, and found the bullet box in the two people's backpacks.

Open the window and throw all the bullets into the snow pile at the base of the wall.

After doing this, Qin Zhibo restored the room to its original state and returned to the living room.

……

In the living room, Qin Zhibo gathered everyone together.

"Actually, I already know everything about Mr. Nigaki's murderer."

"The murderer is Miss Ako!"

There was less than half an hour left in the three-hour task, so Qin Zhibo didn't beat around the bush and gave the answer directly.

When Qin Zhibo called out his name, Yazi's eyes widened and his body trembled slightly. The people around him also looked incredulous.

Could the murderer be the most fragile-looking woman in the room?

The old woman at the villa wondered, "Isn't the murderer the man in the black knitted hat outside the villa?"

Qin Zhibo ignored everyone's reactions and continued reasoning, "Just as I deduced at the crime scene, Mr. Eryuan was murdered in the evening, but the murderer disguised it as a daytime murder."

"The bloodstain on the photo of the murder taken during the day was actually accidentally smeared on the camera lens when Mr. Eryuan cut his finger in the kitchen yesterday."

"Ms. Ako took two black frames of film from her camera, leaving only the last frame. She asked Mr. Niyuan to take it out and shoot it the next day, and that's when he captured the 'murder photo.'"

"As for the two dark photos at the beginning, it was to avoid blood stains on the previous photos and arousing suspicion. After all, no one would take three photos from different angles in a row before dying."

"Next, Ms. Ako just needs to go to the location agreed upon with Mr. Nigaki, kill the person, put the film back into the camera, and dispose of the rest."

Yazi frowned, his eyes full of fear and anxiety, but he said nothing.

This made Fenchuan, who was standing by, a little anxious, and he quickly spoke up to defend him, "But, I could also commit murder using this method..."

Qin Zhibo was about to speak when Conan beside him suddenly came to his aid.

"I just asked the old lady. After Mr. Nigaki cut his finger, Miss Ako has been taking care of Mr. Nigaki all the time."

"The only person who had the opportunity to take those two black photos should be Miss Ako, right?"

In fact, Conan had just followed Qin Zhibo to collect clues and had a general understanding of the whole case.

But Conan still underestimated Fanchuan's determination to defend Ayako. "Even if she takes care of him every step of the way, Ayako is just following Nigaki."

"I might have secretly gone into Nigaki and Ako's room and done something when they left..."

Qin Zhibo shook his head and said calmly, "That's impossible, because there won't be any fingerprints of yours on the camera."

"Last night, when Mr. Nigaki cut his finger, there was quite a bit of blood on the camera. Ms. Ako must have wiped the entire camera body clean, leaving only the blood stain on the lens."

"Therefore, the fingerprints on the camera now are only from Ms. Ako and Mr. Nigaki. Detective Mori and I both touched the camera while wearing gloves."

After being cueed by Qin Zhibo, Maori Kogoro, who hadn't slept well today, quickly straightened his back and angrily made his presence felt, "Yes!"

Qin Zhibo took over the conversation and continued reasoning, "Of course, you can also say that you operated it with gloves, but you haven't seen the videotape yet, right?"

"What... videotape?" Fenchuan was stunned.

"It was the videotape that made Ms. Ako secretly cry last night, and it was also the source of Ms. Ako's sudden decision to kill Nigaki..."

Qin Zhibo looked at Miss Yazi and advised in a deep voice: "Miss Yazi, if you don't want the people who care about you to be implicated, just tell us everything."

Social skills (persuasion), mobilization.

Under Qin Zhibo's verbal attack, Yazi relaxed his shoulders and lowered his frown.

"Yes, that video tape shows the previous boss being swallowed by an avalanche while trying to save my brother who was injured and unable to move."

"To think someone could be so cruel as to stand in the forest not far away and film that kind of scene..."

"What!?"

Everyone was shocked and surprised at the distortion of human nature, but Conan remained silent.

Conan felt a sense of déjà vu about this motive for murder.

Last year, when he was still Kudo Shinichi, he solved his first murder case on a plane to New York.

A photographer was also murdered at that time. The murderer was the photographer's girlfriend, and her motive was to avenge her brother.

In order to take pictures of the fire scene, the photographer created a fire with his own hands and burned to death his brother who opposed his relationship with his sister.

Later, the sister discovered the photos taken before the fire and killed her boyfriend to avenge her brother.

History is always surprisingly consistent.

Yazi wiped away a tear and said, "I found the tape when I went to his room to look for a change of clothes after he was injured. I thought it was his Valentine's Day gift for me, so I put it aside to watch..."

The old woman in the villa wanted to persuade him, "Why are you so stupid? You're not sure if that was the tape shot by Mr. Eryuan..."

After admitting to being the murderer, Yazi remained calm and replied calmly, "I'm absolutely sure, because there were two loud noises before and after the avalanche, and Jiagui's voice was also recorded."

"He said sorry, I'm going to marry your sister..."

At this moment, Conan's eyes widened immediately.

Two loud noises from front and back... Could they be gunshots?

When I looked up again, the two hunters who were in the living room just now disappeared at some point.

Chapter 696: Yan Shuangying Neon Eagle

In the guest room, the bald hunter and the bespectacled hunter were frantically rummaging through their backpacks.

"Hey! Do you have any bullets?"

"I don't have it here, do you have it?"

"Strange, the bullets in my bag are gone..."

After hearing about the videotape in the living room, the two men hurried back to the room, ready to threaten everyone with a shotgun.

Four years ago, two men were hunting in the mountains and mistook a living person for a Japanese wolf.

The bullet hit Xia Ye's leg, and the sound of the shotgun caused an avalanche, causing Xia Ye and the owner of the villa who wanted to help Xia Ye to be swallowed up by the avalanche.

They originally thought that no one knew about this, but unexpectedly, some time ago, Eryuan suddenly contacted them and said that he had recorded the scene at that time and asked the two to use money to redeem the videotape.

If they could determine the location of the avalanche from the videotape and find gunshot wounds on the bodies that were exhumed, both of them would be finished.

Even if you spend money to buy it, you will be controlled by others for the rest of your life, and no one can guarantee that there will only be one copy of the videotape.

So these two people didn't want to pay the money, but wanted the videotape, so they could only plan to trigger another avalanche to kill Eryuan as well.

As a result, before the plan could be implemented, Eryuan was killed by someone, and both of them were extremely happy.

But when they heard Qin Zhibo mention the videotape again, they realized something was wrong.

Someone knows the whereabouts of the videotape. As long as we follow the investigation, we will be found sooner or later.

So, the two of them had a temporary discussion and hurried back to the room to get their hunting rifles, first to control the people in the villa, and then to find a way to silence them all.

But when the two returned to the room, they couldn't find the bullet.

"Hurry up and check inside the closet to see if it's left there!"

Just as the two were rummaging through the drawers, a sound was heard outside the door.

"Just surrender! It was the sound of your shotguns that triggered the avalanche, wasn't it?"

"And Xia Ye was injured because of you guys shooting..."

Qin Zhibo stood at the main door of the room. Conan, who was leaning against the wall next to him, quickly warned, "They have shotguns and might shoot!"

Qin Zhibo had predicted this situation long ago and showed a confident smile on his face.

"I bet they don't have any bullets in their guns."

Conan was stunned for a moment, his mind a little confused. This didn't seem to be the first time Qin Zhibo had bet that someone else's gun had no bullets...

In fact, the two hunters behind the door did not have any bullets, and the hunting rifles in their hands were not as good as fire sticks.

At least there is still fire on the fire stick, which can burn people.

"What should we do now!?"

The glasses hunter was panicked. When he thought about spending the rest of his life in prison, he couldn't help but feel scared.

The bald hunter glanced at the door. The footsteps were getting louder and louder. Although most of the people in the villa were the elderly, the weak, women and children, with two famous detectives there, he would not be able to win.

Looking back at the wind and snow outside the window, the bald hunter suddenly had an idea.

"That videotape must have been thrown away in the wild. If we go find and dispose of the evidence now, there will still be room for maneuver."

The bald hunter was more thoughtful and knew that the famous detective's reasoning was just a guess, and that evidence was needed in court.
