Conan Rick's Investigator

As soon as he finished speaking, a childish voice at his feet admitted, "That was me. I was eating xiaolongbao at the time."

Yokomizo Shigego looked at Conan, then at Qin Zhibo, and then lowered his head.

"Now it's clear. He first poisoned his own towel, then took the opportunity to switch the towels and kill the deceased..."

"It's you, Mr. Qin Zhibo."

"Me?" Although Qin Zhibo had already guessed that this was a policeman whose ability did not match his personality, he did not expect it to be so outrageous.

Seeing Qin Zhibo trying to "deny" it, Yokomizo Shigego pointed his white gloves at Conan next to him and said, "You're sitting next to the deceased. It's the easiest thing for you to change his towel!"

"And there's no way this little brother would kill anyone!"

Qin Zhibo: You guessed it right. The truth is often so absurd...

Such "reliable" reasoning surprised everyone.

The corners of Yokomizo Shigego's mouth rose slightly, revealing a sly smile. Qin Zhibo seriously suspected that this guy was either really NT or was deliberately targeting him.

"You said I killed him, but I have no motive. This is the first day I met him."

Yokomizo Shigego pondered for a moment before speaking in a serious tone, "As a detective, you encounter numerous murder cases every day and see countless criminals caught."

"Gradually, your mind becomes distorted, and you begin to wonder if you can commit a perfect crime."

"You carry cyanide with you. You only need to choose someone you don't know and use your identity as a famous detective to make it impossible for them to suspect you."

Qin Zhibo: “…” Is it true that those who stare into the abyss are also stared at by the abyss?

Before Qin Zhibo could explain himself, Mao Lilan, who was sitting on a chair resting, suddenly shouted, "Mr. Qin can't be the murderer!"

Conan didn't want to say anything at first. After all, Qin Zhibo could easily solve this level of suspicion by himself.

But seeing that Mao Lilan was speaking for Qin Zhibo and was a little excited and worried about his condition, she hurried over to help.

"Yes, Uncle Qin came to the table later, and the towel was handed out by the waiter later. He didn't go to the bathroom in between, so he didn't have time to apply poison on it."

Although Qin Zhibo had been eating at this restaurant for a long time, he might have prepared the poisoned towel at the previous dinner.

But Qin Zhibo is a good person, and Conan believes that Qin Zhibo will not do this.

After hearing what Conan said, Shigeo Yokomizo was stunned. Even an elementary school student could easily refute his reasoning.

"Well..."

While Henggou Juewu was stunned, Qin Zhibo suggested, "Why don't we reconstruct the scene at the dinner table? That will help us better understand the case."

Qin Zhibo's proposal made Yokomizo Shigeo feel like he had been saved, and he quickly nodded in agreement.

……

After a brief on-site arrangement and the removal of the body after evidence collection, everyone returned to their seats at the dinner table.

Shigego Yokomizo replaced the deceased, and everyone else sat in their original seats, and the dishes on the table were restored to their original positions.

Yokomizo Shigego glanced at the people and dishes on the table and asked, "And then?"

Qin Zhibo looked at Conan and said, "You want to eat dumplings? The dumplings are right in front of you. Eat them."

Conan looked at Qin Zhibo in confusion, then at the newly served hot dumplings, not understanding what Qin Zhibo was up to.

However, after hearing what Qin Zhibo said, his stomach did start to rumble.

I came to Yokohama from Mikado, but before I could even eat a single steamed dumpling, I was interrupted by an incident.

Could it be that this guy saw that I was hungry and made these special arrangements?

For a moment, Conan was somewhat moved by Qin Zhibo's warmth.

Conan was just about to pick up a steamed dumpling with his clappers to relieve his hunger when he was suddenly interrupted by Qin Zhibo's voice.

"Conan, you need dipping sauce when eating dumplings. Don't forget soy sauce and chili oil."

Conan frowned, but still turned the turntable and reached for the soy sauce bottle on it.

But just when Conan took the soy sauce bottle and was about to pour the soy sauce into the dish, Qin Zhibo spoke again.

"Wait a minute, Conan."

"You didn't get the soy sauce bottle so easily at the dinner table just now, remember?"

After Qin Zhibo reminded him, Conan also remembered that someone always turned the table when he was getting something.

If I hadn't mentioned it, I would have almost forgotten that this person is you!

Helplessly, Conan could only put the soy sauce bottle back on the turntable, then reached out to adjust the turntable, while giving Qin Zhibo a look of contempt.

But what Conan didn't expect was that Qin Zhibo didn't reach out his hand, but looked at Director Isogai on the other side of the table.

"Mr. Isoue, it's your turn to perform."

Isogami was stunned for a moment, but seeing Qin Zhibo's determined eyes and Yokomizo's increasingly suspicious expression, he could only stretch out his hand and press it on the turntable.

Conan took a look and understood.

It turns out it’s you, Old Six!

In accordance with Qin Zhibo's request to recreate the scene at that time, Conan turned the turntable several times and wanted to reach out to grab the soy sauce, but Isogami pushed the turntable back several times.

Because Conan was not tall enough to see what was happening on the other side of the table, he mistakenly thought that it was Qin Zhibo who did it.

The Grim Reaper picks up the food and you turn the table, Chunchun narrows the road.

After the two of them demonstrated the situation several times, Yokomizo Shigego became confused and asked, "Mr. Isogai, why did you keep turning the table?"

A drop of cold sweat ran down Isogai's forehead. He glanced at the food in front of him, then at Conan.

He faced a fatal problem, with two possible explanations.

One explanation is that he was playing a prank on Conan.

Another explanation is that he wanted to eat the food in front of him.

But when he looked down at the dish in front of him, he saw that it was the two egg dishes he had ordered, which were the key to the entire murder method.

If you say you want to eat egg dishes, it is tantamount to giving detectives and police a hint to focus on that.

So after weighing the pros and cons, he chose the first explanation.

"Ha, I just wanted to play a joke on this little brother."

"..."

Conan gave me a death stare and asked, "Do you think I find it funny?"

Although others also found this reason a bit strange, they didn't say much.

Qin Zhibo looked at Isogai's slightly forced acting and knew that this was definitely not his true thoughts.

The turntable was adjusted repeatedly, and the murder method must be related to the turntable.

Combined with the fact that the towel with the investigation point was placed right in front of him on the table, this Isogami was indeed suspicious.

……

Next, the scene reenactment continues.

Qin Zhibo returned the dial to the position he remembered and continued, "Conan, are you going to get the chili oil now?"

Conan nodded.

Qin Zhibo looked at Isogai, "From now on, you'll need Mr. Isogai and I to work together."

"Please put your hands on the turntable, Mr. Isogai..."

Isoue knew he couldn't escape, so he just put his hands on the turntable.

His eyes became increasingly uneasy, and cold sweat had already begun to flow out from his thick hair at the temples.

How painful it is to watch the crime you committed being repeated before your eyes.

This method of killing is like walking on a tightrope. If there is any deviation, it may fail or kill the wrong person.

After finally walking across the tightrope once, I was forced to walk it again.

Moreover, it happened in front of the police and famous detectives. If you are not careful, you will be doomed.

Under tremendous psychological pressure, although Isogami chose to cooperate with the performance, his hands were placed weakly on the turntable.

Seeing this, Qin Zhibo explained directly: "Let me explain the situation at that time..."

"In fact, Mr. Isogai was still adjusting the turntable vigorously, trying to trick the child."

"But I reached out and pressed the turntable, preventing it from turning, allowing Conan to get the chili oil smoothly."

After Qin Zhibo's explanation, Conan realized that he had completely misunderstood Qin Zhibo.

Thank you, Turntable Man!

Conan took the chili oil, dripped some on the plate in front of him, and put it back on the turntable.

Qin Zhibo let go of his hand, looked at Isogami who didn't move, and said, "Mr. Isogami, I'm letting go now. It's your turn to adjust the turntable."

"Don't forget to adjust the dial to the correct position..."

Isogai was stunned for a moment, and looked around at the people around him again.

Although the scene replayed itself, Qin Zhibo never revealed who the murderer was.

But Qin Zhibo called his name again and again, asking him to cooperate with the performance and adjust the turntable on the table. The implied meaning was already very obvious.

There was a fierce battle going on in Isogami's heart. After a moment of silence, his tightly clasped hands suddenly loosened.

"As expected of a famous detective, you win..."

Everyone at the table was startled by this, and Yokomizo Shigego quickly asked, "Mr. Isogai, what do you mean by that?"

Qin Zhibo was also a little surprised by Isogami's sudden surrender. He thought he would fight to the end.

However, in order to get a better task evaluation, Qin Zhibo quickly stood up from his seat and walked calmly to Isogami.

When he opened the towel on the table in front of Isogai, he saw a blue stain inside.

“This is…”

Everyone stuck their heads out and saw the blue color above, feeling a little puzzled.

But a thunderclap sounded in Conan's brain, and after the intracranial climax, he understood the whole case.

"That's right, the towel here, Mr. Isogai, actually belongs to the deceased..."

"The blue stains here are actually the paint from the deceased's jeans!"

Qin Zhibo's tone was firm and left no room for doubt.

But in fact, before Qin Zhibo opened the towel, he didn't expect that there would be jeans paint inside the towel.

Who would have thought that a film producer would also buy pants on Bingxixi!

Yokomizo Shigego also caught on to the idea and reasoned, "If this towel belongs to the deceased, then the poisoned towel next to the deceased must actually belong to Isoue?"

Qin Zhibo nodded affirmatively, "In fact, Mr. Isogai already knew that the deceased hated egg dishes, so he deliberately ordered two egg dishes."

"When Conan wanted to get the soy sauce for the first time, Mr. Isogai saw that the roast duck was about to be served, so he turned the turntable and wiped the bottom of the egg dish turntable with a poison towel prepared in advance."

"As for applying the poison at this time, it's because we're afraid that if we apply the poison too early, others might be accidentally poisoned to death."

As Qin Zhibo spoke, he pushed the turntable with one hand to recreate the situation at that time.

At this time, two egg dishes just stopped in front of Isogami.

"When Conan was about to get the chili oil for the second time, Isoue had already applied the poison and was about to deliver two egg dishes to the deceased."

"Taking advantage of the deceased's dislike for eggs, he would inevitably reach out and move the egg in front of him. And because the two dishes were close together, he would pinch the edge of the turntable to adjust it."

"In this way, the deceased's fingers would naturally be contaminated with poison, and the poison would enter his mouth when he ate the roast duck."

"It's just that I wanted Conan to get the chili oil, so I delayed Mr. Isogami's plan..."

Qin Zhibo's reasoning, combined with the constantly adjusting turntable, gave a vivid and vivid lecture on murder techniques.

Isogami next to him had already lit a cigarette, took two big puffs, and then put it out in the ashtray.

The dozen or so cigarette butts lying in the ashtray showed his dilemma before he took action.

Under everyone's watchful eyes, Isogai revealed his motive for murder, which was revenge for an actress he once worked for.

At first, Isogai was sarcastic about the actress's acting skills, but gradually, he was conquered by her serious attitude in pursuing her dream of entering the entertainment industry and developed a love for her.
