Conan Rick's Investigator

But just as Qin Zhibo put on the magic extractor and was about to reach for the towel, a shout suddenly came from the crowd.

"Don't move!"

Qin Zhibo looked over and saw a man with a crew cut walking out from the crowd.

"I saw what you did just now. Are you trying to sabotage the murder?"

The man with a crew cut casually flashed his ID and put it back in his pocket, giving Qin Zhibo a death stare.

Qin Zhibo also looked up and down at the man in front of him and saw the information above his head.

Shigeo Yokomizo, 35 years old, police officer, social credit score 2400.

It was a police officer I didn't recognize, but he responded quite quickly...

Qin Zhibo withdrew his hand awkwardly and said with a smile, "Don't misunderstand, Mr. Policeman. My name is Qin Zhibo, and I'm a detective. I'm just checking the scene."

According to the rules of this world, revealing one's identity as a detective at a murder scene often earns respect and courtesy from the police.

But just when Qin Zhibo thought it would be the same this time, Yokomizo Shigego did not play by the rules.

"Qin Zhibo?"

"The name sounds familiar..."

"But this is a murder scene. Non-involved personnel like you please step aside."

Although Yokomizo Shigego said "please", his attitude was not polite at all, which cut off Qin Zhibo's idea of continuing to investigate the towel on the table.

Qin Zhibo walked to the side obediently. Although he was a little angry, he also admired the policeman.

He doesn't flatter detectives and believes in his own approach to handling cases, which makes him a breath of fresh air among the police force.

I'm afraid his ability is not worthy of his rebellious character.

Kogoro Mouri, who was standing by, saw his colleague being humiliated in front of the police. The corners of his mouth curled up slightly and he walked forward with a confident expression.

"Ahem, officer, let me explain the case..."

"Stand back!"

Just as Kogoro Mouri was about to show off and let his peers see the difference in fame, he was scolded by Shigeo Yokomizo.

However, Shigego Yokomizo only stared at Kogoro Mori for a second and found that he looked familiar.

"I think I've seen your face somewhere..."

Kogoro Mouri, who had just been scolded, was full of expectations, but the next second, Shigeo Yokomizo said something shocking.

"Are you a wanted fugitive?"

"Ah?" Kogoro Mouri was stunned, his eyes widened. He never thought that he, the nemesis of evil, would one day be thought of like this.

"I'm that Maori Kogoro!"

"Oh." Yokomizo Shigego still had a stern expression. "So you're the comatose Mouri Kogoro..."

When he heard his nickname was called incorrectly, Kogoro Mouri's face darkened.

"My name is Sleeping Maori Kogoro."

"Isn't it different?"

"How can they be the same? Sleeping is active, lethargy is passive."

"It all looks the same to me."

Qin Zhibo + Conan: Really good at judging people...

After saying that, Yokomizo Shigego stopped arguing with Mori Kogoro and turned around to assign tasks to his subordinates.

In fact, Yokomizo Shigego didn't really not know Qin Zhibo and Maori Kogoro, he just wanted to give the two famous detectives some power.

The Japanese police's reliance on detectives has become a common practice, which makes Shigeo Yokomizo very dissatisfied.

After all, private detectives, like lawyers, are professionals who do things for money.

Private detectives don't have to take an oath. They can open a business by applying for a consulting business license. The threshold is low, and if they have a little fame, they can have an impact on the police when they are handling cases.

Moreover, private detectives have caused a lot of trouble, including commercial espionage, invasion of privacy, extortion, leaking case-related secrets, etc.

In short, Yokomizo Shigego decided to solve the case himself this time, give the famous detective a good slap in the face, and tell the other police officers, especially his twin brother who was superstitious about detectives...

Japanese police can solve cases even without detectives!

……

Kogoro Mouri and Tomohiro Qin were pushed aside and stood together, watching the police busy at the murder scene.

At this time, Mao Lilan also remembered that this face looked familiar, and was very similar to Inspector Yokomizo Sango of Shizuoka Prefecture.

Kogoro Mouri and Conan took a closer look and found that they were indeed carved from the same mold, except for the shape of the head.

This made Maori Kogoro suddenly realize that it was Yokomizo Sango himself. He made a mistake and was demoted, so he shaved his head to show his determination. He didn't dare to recognize these acquaintances, so he pretended to be indifferent.

"This guy...watch me expose him!"

Just as Maori Kogoro was about to walk over, Qin Zhibo stopped him.

"This should be Officer Yokomizo's younger brother. Don't mistake him for someone else."

Mao Lilan also remembered, "Oh right, last time Officer Yokomizo mentioned that he has a twin brother who is also a policeman..."

Maori Kogoro scratched his head. "Really? They look quite similar, but why are they so different as people?"

When the keyword "twin brothers" was mentioned, Conan on the side seemed to be thinking about something.

Previously, at the Kinoshita family villa in Shizuoka Prefecture, the murderer who killed President Majima was believed to be the twin brother of the yellow-haired man in the game hall.

However, it was later learned that the yellow-haired man was an only child and had no brothers, and it was judged that it was another person who looked very similar to the yellow-haired man.

But in the case of Toushen Forest yesterday, Bin Mike said that there should have been another person in the forest, with dyed blond hair and a burly figure.

Both of these adjectives coincide with the murderer who killed President Majima, and are also the same as the yellow-haired man in the previous game arcade incident.

The first two similarities are easy to understand. It was Tomonori Kinoshita who asked the murderer to kill President Majima, so it is reasonable for the murderer to appear in the Tougami Forest.

This was just the first incident. The deceased in the game hall case, the yellow-haired man, was confirmed by the police to have died of pufferfish toxin poisoning, and the body was also examined by the police themselves.

How can a dead person come back to life even if his body is stolen?

This is the most incomprehensible thing, and it is also the main basis for the police to insist that the yellow-haired man and the murderer of President Majima are two people, based on the eyewitness testimony of Ran Mouri.

But if we follow this idea, how did the yellow-haired man's body disappear? And why did it disappear?

To resurrect a corpse?

This idea was a bit too crazy, but Conan frowned and had to consider this situation.

Sherlock Holmes has a famous saying that has been regarded as truth by later generations.

When all impossible conclusions are ruled out, then no matter how bizarre or unbelievable the rest are, they are irrefutable facts.

Now, it is not yet time to rule out all impossible conclusions.

But there must be a reason why the yellow-haired man's body disappeared.

If the body was stolen, it must have been an organized and premeditated crime that could have taken the body away without leaving a trace while the police were transporting it.

Human organ theft gang?

The police seem to think so now.

However, due to limited police force, it is impossible to investigate all the living people killed every day, and the investigation into the whereabouts of a dead body can only be postponed indefinitely.

If the corpse had come back to life and walked away on its own, then everything that happened afterwards would be easy to explain...

The thought sent a shudder down Conan's body.

Although I've seen some unusual things before, such as floating skulls, strange pink animal carcasses, and fire tornadoes that seemed to be controlled by someone...

But for detectives, the resurrection of the dead is something that can truly shatter their worldview.

It can make all logical reasoning futile and plunge reason into irreversible madness.

Is resurrection of the dead really possible?

If such a thing really exists, it must be an authority possessed only by gods, a forbidden zone of life that humans can never touch.

Is it really?

Thinking of this, Conan looked down at his palm.

The tender, fair skin and petite body were not what I should have at the age of seventeen.

If resurrection of the dead is a forbidden zone for life, then what is the reversal of physical age?

It turned out that I had unknowingly crossed the forbidden zone that humans should not touch...

If the indelible marks that time has left on the body can be erased, then resurrection of the dead is nothing more than returning the body to the state before life passed.

Conan remembered that Haibara Ai had talked about the principle of APTX-4869 before. Although he didn't understand it very well, it was at least based on scientific evidence.

It seems that next time I see Huiyuan, I have to ask her if it is possible to "resurrect the corpse"...

……

While Conan was thinking about the mystery of life, Ran Maoli, who was bored, told him that Qin Zhibo had an imposter.

"Oh? There's actually such a thing?"

As the instigator, Qin Zhibo pretended to be six parts surprised, three parts angry, and one part indifferent.

"I'm very sorry, we didn't catch the imposter and he escaped."

Feeling guilty, Mao Lilan bowed to Qin Zhibo. As soon as she straightened her back, her vision turned white and her mind became fuzzy.

Kogoro Mouri and Tomohiro Qin quickly helped the person sit down on the chair next to them, and then touched his forehead, which was a little hot.

"You have a fever, Xiaolan!"

"Let's go to the hospital, Sister Xiaolan!"

Kogoro Mouri was a little anxious, and Conan also stopped thinking about life and ran over to show concern.

But Mao Lilan still forced a smile and shook her head.

"It's okay, I can still hold on."

What Mao Lilan meant by persistence was naturally to wait until the police finished questioning.

Qin Zhibo took a look at the progress of Yokomizo Shigeo's investigation. It cannot be said to be fast, but he is as fast as a turtle. He is still investigating whether the roast duck was poisoned.

In that case, don't blame me for not giving you a chance.

It's you who can't control it!

Chapter 725 Conan: Thank you, Turntable Man!

"The deceased was Shiro Kawabata, 46, a film producer by profession. The cause of death was asphyxiation caused by potassium cyanate."

After listening to his subordinates' report, Yokomizo Shigego complained, "Really? It's either potassium cyanate, arsenic, or caustic soda. Where on earth did these criminals get so many poisons?"

Unlike Tokyo, criminals in the Kanagawa area are somewhat "innovative" and use arsenic and caustic soda.

"Did he eat anything before he died?" Yokomizo Shigego asked again.

"Yes, he ate roast duck," a chubby-faced police officer reported, holding a police manual in his hand. "But we didn't detect any toxicity in the roast duck, and the waiter who served the food didn't find any poison either."

"But a large amount of poison was found on the towel he used."

"I see. So the deceased had the poison on his hands before eating the roast duck..."

"In this case, it is possible that the murderer who poisoned the deceased was one of you who had dined with the deceased not long ago."

Shigego Yokomizo looked at everyone who had eaten at the table, even Conan.

"Who among you was eating next to the deceased just now?"

Everyone looked at each other, and their eyes finally fell on Qin Zhibo.

Qin Zhibo stepped forward and took the initiative to explain: "After changing seats, it was indeed me who sat next to the deceased."

"What about the other side of the dead? Who is it?" Yokomizo Shigego asked again.
