Conan Rick's Investigator

So Qin Zhibo quietly used his other hand to support his body slightly, and also used a little strength with his legs.

Finally, with the help of Qin Zhibo, Yizhilong managed to carry Qin Zhibo on his back and walked tremblingly towards the kitchen.

Chapter 77 The road of brothers is getting narrower and narrower...

In the dark corridor, Yizhilong walked forward with a heavy burden.

If there is anything heavier than the burden of life, Yizhi Long believes that it is Qin Zhibo behind him at this moment.

hateful!

At that time, the cup of coffee with sleeping pills was supposed to be taken by Mao Lilan.

If that were the case, I would be much more relaxed now...

But now that things have come to this, Ichiji Takashi can only carry out the plan firmly.

……

With Yizhilong's unsteady steps, Qin Zhibo finally arrived at the place where Yizhilong wanted to take him.

kitchen.

In the kitchen sink, Yizhi Long had already turned on the faucet in advance, and the water level reached most of the sink.

Under the weight of Qin Zhibo's body, Yizhi Long couldn't wait to let the water level in the tank continue to rise.

Anyway, when everyone comes back to find Qin, they will definitely see overflowing water, the kind that can kill people.

So Yizhilong began to lean Qin Zhibo's body against the sink, and then pressed Qin Zhibo's head down hard.

But a strange thing happened. Qin Zhibo couldn't press his head down.

Yizhi Long pressed it again with his hand.

Still can't press it.

Ok?

At this moment, Yizhilong suddenly felt a huge squeezing force on his right foot.

First, numbness——

After that……

Severe pain!

"Ah!"

A strong pain came from his toes, and Yizhilong's body began to fall backwards, and fell to the ground with a thud.

At this time, Qin Zhibo also straightened up from the sink like a ghost and turned to face Yizhilong behind him.

"Mr. Yi, do you want to wash my hair?"

Seeing Qin Zhibo suddenly "wake up", Yizhi Long screamed in fright.

……

At the other end of the villa corridor, Kogoro Mouri, Ran Mouri and Conan, under the guidance of Gojo Osamu, found the power switch on the east side of the villa.

When the power switch was reset, a broken window next to it provided Kogoro Maori with unlimited imagination.

"I understand everything!"

"The murderer realized we were going to search the villa thoroughly, so he was worried he'd be discovered and felt he had nowhere to escape. He turned off the power to create chaos, then broke the window and escaped!"

Kogoro Mouri confidently expressed his "famous reasoning", but Conan, who was thinking next to him, felt that the problem was not that simple.

If the murderer was hiding in the villa and wanted to escape, why did he have to break the window glass to escape?

The windows of the villa are grid-type. Even if the glass is broken, it is impossible for people to get through. In the end, they still have to push open the window frame.

And the most important thing is that the window is not locked. You can just push it open and leave quietly. Isn't breaking the glass intentionally pointing out your escape route for others?

Prisoner: Look everyone! Is this my escape route?

Conan felt that there shouldn't be such a stupid criminal.

At this time, Mifune, a man with pigtails, also ran over from the corridor on the other side of the villa and just happened to hear Kogoro Mouri's reasoning.

"Damn it! I'll see where you run!"

In Mifune's opinion, Yotsuba Rika should still be alive somewhere as a hostage. As long as he can catch the murderer with his own hands, his status in Yotsuba Rika's mind will definitely rise sharply.

By then, the Sijing Group will have to change its name to Sanchuan!

Driven by interests, Mifune rushed into the dark woods regardless of everything, and Maori Kogoro and Gojo Osamu also followed him.

However, Kogoro Mori was not seeking credit for his own achievements, he simply wanted to pull back Mifune who had rashly entered the woods.

When Conan saw the backs of Kogoro Mouri and others rushing into the woods, he had a flash of inspiration and thought of the previous incident of the bandaged monster in the villa.

The bandaged man tried again and again to divert everyone's thoughts to the outside, but in fact, those were all fakes that were easily defeated with a little thought.

It's an illusion.

The criminal's real purpose should still be in the villa!

At this time, Conan thought of Qin Zhibo, the only person sleeping in the villa.

"Xiaolan!"

"Qin Zhibo is in danger!"

Conan, anxious, didn't care about the courtesy of address and called Qin Zhibo's name directly.

Just as Mao Lilan was about to climb out the window to chase after him, she saw Conan's serious expression, as if she saw the shadow of some stupid mystery geek in him.

This made Mao Lilan believe what this little body said without thinking, and ran straight to the room where Qin Zhibo was.

……

When Mouri Ran and Conan ran to the room where Qin Zhibo was sleeping, there was only an empty sofa and a blanket on the floor.

"Could it be that Mr. Qin has woken up?"

Ran Maoli, who didn't know Conan's reasoning process, naturally came up with this idea.

Conan walked silently to the potted plants in the room and smelled the scent of coffee from the soil inside.

While running here just now, Conan's brain was working fast and figured out the cause and effect of all this.

First, someone put sleeping pills in the cup of coffee that Qin Zhibo drank.

Secondly, this person used the power outage to create chaos, attracting others to the east side of the villa, and then he himself prepared to do something to Qin Zhibo who had taken sleeping pills.

But obviously, Qin Zhibo did not fall for it and poured the coffee out directly. The strong smell of coffee in the potted plant is evidence of this.

Conan also remembered that the person who wanted to take the cup of coffee with sleeping pills in it was actually Xiaolan.

Qin Zhibo was quicker in picking up the cup of coffee, otherwise Xiaolan would be the one suffering now.

Qin Zhibo saved Mao Lilan again...

Not only that, the fact that Qin Zhibo took the initiative to get the cup of coffee meant that the moment the coffee was served, Qin Zhibo discovered that there was one cup of coffee that was absolutely different from all the others.

Is it the direction the coffee cup handle is facing?

Or the color of coffee?

Conan racked his brains to recall the scene at that time, but to no avail.

But what is certain is that Qin Zhibo once again made Conan understand what truly powerful observation skills are.

You can tell at a glance what the prisoner did to avoid drinking coffee laced with sleeping pills.

At this moment, Ran Mouri and Conan in the room suddenly heard a scream.

The screams came from the direction of the kitchen

Ran Mouri and Conan moved again, arriving at the kitchen door one after the other, just in time to see Takashi Ichieda sitting on the ground shivering and Tomohiro Qin standing in front of the sink.

"Mr. Qin! What on earth is going on?"

Ran Mouri looked at the scene in front of her in surprise, and so did Takashi Ichieda.

what happened?

Didn’t my attempt to lure the tiger away from the mountain succeed?

However, the appearance of Mao Lilan still brought a glimmer of hope to Ichijie Long.

Although he had no hope of defeating the tall Qin Zhibo in front of him, this girl with thin arms and legs was undoubtedly an object that could be coerced.

As long as I am not caught, my revenge plan will be successful when the time comes!

So, Ichieda Takashi suddenly rushed towards Mouri Ran like a mad beast, grabbed Mouri Ran's arm and pulled her into his arms.

"Don't move any of you!"

"do not come!"

"Or I'll strangle her to death!"

Although Yizhilong's expression was fierce, Qin Zhibo looked at him with pity.

Brother, you've narrowed your path...

Chapter 78: "Unexpected" Corpse Investigation

Not only Qin Zhibo, but even Conan who was standing next to him had a look of pity on his face.

This is something that Yizhilong can't do.

What do their eyes mean?

Are you pitying this girl?

Yizhi Long looked down at the girl being held hostage in front of him and suddenly found that the girl was making a gesture.

This action is very similar to the preparatory action of Sun Wukong before his explosion in "Dragon Ball".

Mao Lilan: “Oh——”

Yizhi Long: “?”

Qin Zhibo and Conan: "!"

Mao Lilan's arms, which were straight and clenched, suddenly thrust backwards. In an instant, Yizhi Long felt his ribs being hit harder than ever before.

A blow hard enough to break a Popcorn telephone pole...

Being defenseless at close range, Ichiji Takashi's internal organs quickly contracted and moved under Maori Ran's elbow strike.

Then Ichieda Takashi himself stiffened, took a short breath, and made an "Oo" expression on his face.

At this time, Mao Lilan turned around and continued to punch, but Qin Zhibo quickly reached out to stop her.

"Lady! Stop it!"

"If you hit me again, I'll be out of energy!"

……

When Yizhilong woke up from the pain, there were more people standing in front of him.

Qin Zhibo vividly recounted his experience of being knocked unconscious by Yizhi Long's sleeping pills and then being taken to the sink to be drowned.

But no matter how much Qin Zhibo talked, Conan just rolled his eyes at him.

What? I almost got killed by a shark...

You obviously didn’t drink that cup of coffee!

And there wasn't even any water on his collar, so how could he be said to have drowned?

However, Conan did not doubt that Ichieda Takashi wanted to kill Qin Zhibo.

But Conan didn't understand the motive for the murder.
