Conan Rick's Investigator

Because when they shook hands just now, he felt that Qin Zhibo suddenly used some force.

After Qin Zhibo withdrew his hand, he asked Asai Chengmi one last question.

"By the way, do you know a person named Keiji Aso?"

When this question was suddenly asked, everyone showed surprise on their faces.

Maori Kogoro, who had been silent for a long time, finally stepped forward and teased, "Are you confused? This young lady is so young, how could she possibly know about the people who lived here twelve years ago?"

"And since she's from Tokyo like us, it's even more impossible for her to know."

"Isn't that right, Miss Doctor?"

Chapter 95: The Transvestite's Crime in Progress (Two Chapters in One)

Kogoro wanted to act cool, but when he saw the female doctor's face, his flattering smile somehow disappeared.

"Yep."

Asai Narimi nodded in a daze.

"Okay, I'm just asking."

"It's okay if you don't know."

Qin Zhibo would not do something like pointing at someone's nose for no reason and saying, "Your name is Ma Chengshi, right?"

However, since the real name of this pseudo-doctor is Aso Shigemi, it is very likely that he is related to Keiji Aso mentioned in the letter of commission.

It is even possible that he is the one who sent the letter!

However, the mission this time is not to find out who sent the letter, but to complete the commission in the letter.

Assuming that the murder warning letter was written by Masashi, then his commission...

Are you asking me to help kill someone?

……

After leaving the clinic, Qin Zhibo and the Maori family continued to head towards the community center.

However, Qin Zhibo and the Maori family have different goals.

The Mori family went to inquire about someone who was friends with Keiji Aso.

Qin Zhibo wanted to ask Aso Keiji's immediate relatives who were not yet alive.

Like my son...

When he arrived at the community center, he ignored the villagers' protest against the current village chief's arbitrary privileges and went straight into the community center.

The person who came to greet us was the current village chief's secretary, named Ichiro Hirata.

Kogoro Mouri stated that he was a detective from Tokyo, and Hirata left in a panic.

While waiting on a bench in the corridor of the community center, the bored Qin Zhibo opened a map in the community center to see if there were any investigation points.

At the end of the corridor, Qin Zhibo found a large room with only a piano in it.

Qin Zhibo walked in.

Conan noticed Qin Zhibo walk in, so he followed him in.

When Ran Mouri noticed Conan walk in, she followed him in.

When Kogoro Mouri noticed his daughter go in, he followed her in.

And so, everyone started sneaking around in the piano room.

Qin Zhibo didn't have any problem with the piano. He didn't have the skills to play it, so he didn't tinker with it.

However, Mao Lilan was itching to try her hand at it and wanted to play a few times.

However, at this moment, Secretary Hirata ran over with a panicked look on his face.

"No, no! Don't touch that piano!"

"That piano belongs to Mr. Aso! It's a cursed piano!"

In response to Hirata's warning, Maori Kogoro said disdainfully: "No way, how could there be a curse in this world?"

"It's not just Mr. Aso..." Secretary Hirata's face was still tense, "The former village chief, Kameyama Isamu, also died on this piano!"

"It happened three years ago..." Secretary Hirata lowered his head, lost in memories.

"It was a full-moon night. I was passing by the community center, where no one should be, but I heard the sound of a piano coming from inside."

"When I opened my mouth to check if anyone was there, the piano music stopped immediately."

"When I walked inside, I found Mr. Kameyama slumped over the piano!"

"The cause of death was a heart attack, and Mr. Aso kept playing the Moonlight Sonata in the flames..."

Just as Secretary Hirata was telling the story of the cursed piano in vivid detail, Conan took advantage of his physical advantage, opened the piano lid while no one was paying attention, and played "Stepping on the Cat".

"This piano is very ordinary..."

"Is there really no difference?"

Conan's behavior scared Secretary Hirata so much that he quickly ordered him to leave.

"Anyway, please wait at the entrance until the ceremony is over!"

However, when the door of the piano room is closed, a bright investigation point is quietly lying under the piano.

……

After coming out of the community center, Qin Zhibo and the Mao Li family could only wait in the parking lot next to the community center.

Conan tilted his head and told what he had just discovered.

"That piano just now was so strange. It hadn't been used in years, but the sounds were normal."

"Has anyone ever tuned it?"

Conan's words seemed unintentional, but in fact he wanted to see Qin Zhibo's reaction.

Maybe Qin Zhibo knows nothing about music and didn't notice this at all?

After he finished speaking, Qin Zhibo did not respond to the interference options provided by Conan. He just stood in front and watched the villagers coming in and out of the community center.

Instead, Xiaolan next to her looked unhappy.

"Could it be Mr. Aso's ghost tuning that piano?"

Conan gave a somewhat helpless smile in response to Xiaolan's guess.

"Sister Xiaolan, in this scientific age, there are no such things as the dead and ghosts."

"Isn't that right, Uncle Maori? Uncle Qin?"

Conan wants to use the words of his two uncles to help Xiaolan change her fear of evil spirits.

Maori Kogoro nodded casually in agreement, "Hmm..."

Just as Conan turned his expectant gaze to Qin Zhibo, Qin Zhibo uttered some obscure words.

“It may exist, it may not exist.”

“Humanity inhabits a placid island of ignorance in the midst of a vast, endless ocean of blackness.”

"This ocean is vast and holds countless secrets."

"And perhaps humans shouldn't sail too far or delve too deeply..."

After Qin Zhibo finished speaking, a big question mark appeared in the heads of Conan, Maori Ran, and Maori Kogoro at the same time.

This passage...

What do you mean?

Conan tried to understand and thought that Qin Zhibo might be comparing the earth to the island where humans live. Does the black ocean refer to the universe?

Is he trying to say that humans shouldn't explore the universe?

As early as decades ago when the Apollo moon landing program was launched, there was a minority who believed that it was too early for humans to explore the universe and that it might bring disaster to human civilization.

But I just wanted to ask whether there are ghosts in the world, but this person thought so deeply that he even thought about the meaning of human exploration of the universe?

However, from Qin Zhibo's tone, Conan could tell that he did not seem to be a firm materialist.

As a detective...

How can this be done?

Detectives speak with facts and use scientific evidence to judge crimes.

How can one become a good detective if he is not a staunch materialist?

……

In fact, Qin Zhibo didn't know why he suddenly said this, or even where he knew this sentence from.

But at this moment, Qin Zhibo didn't have time to think so much.

Because at the entrance of the community center, Qin Zhibo saw a familiar person walk in.

It was Asai Narumi, who was wearing a tight black long skirt.

Or rather, it can be said that Ma Cheng is real...

Judging from his attire, he was also going in to attend the memorial service for the third anniversary of the death of the former village chief.

Transvestite + Conan, the conditions are met.

I'm afraid he's going to kill someone today!

Qin Zhibo opened the electronic map on the navigation system, analyzed the direction, and then walked in the direction that was almost enough to sneak into the community center.

Seeing Qin Zhibo suddenly leave, Mao Lilan asked where Qin Zhibo was going.

Qin Zhibo waved his hand and said casually, "I don't think anything will happen today, so I'll go to the hotel and rest first."

"Come on you guys!"

Qin Zhibo's back gradually walked away, and Maori Kogoro curled his lips.

"Tsk...you're so irresponsible."

Mao Lilan explained for Qin Zhibo: "This was originally a commission for you, Dad. It's enough for Mr. Qin to help until now."

"They're just here for tourism. If you want them to continue helping you, shouldn't you at least give them some of the 50 commission?"

These words immediately left Kogoro Mouri speechless, and Conan next to him looked at Ran Mouri's smiling face with a nervous expression.

Lan, you are not...

Conan remembered that Qin Zhibo had saved Mao Li Ran's life several times, and Mao Li Ran had been very enthusiastic towards Qin Zhibo recently.

It is easy for women to develop feelings for someone who has saved them many times, especially when that person is good-looking.

In addition, the gossipy Sonoko kept whispering in Xiaolan's ears from time to time, making Xiaolan forget about Shinichi and find another one.

Lan, you won't change your mind, right?

Please wait for me!

As soon as I get the medicine that can make me bigger, I will come back to find you immediately!

……

Just as the jealous Conan was daydreaming, Qin Zhibo had already gone around to the back of the community center.

The back of the community center faces the coast, and there is a back door that leads into the community center.

This back door is connected to the piano room that I discovered when I opened the map during the day.

At this time, the lights in the piano room were off, and only the faint moonlight shone near the windows of the piano room.

Qin Zhibo pushed open the back door and walked into the house.

But just as he was about to leave the piano room and sneak into the community center, Qin Zhibo heard a series of slightly heavy footsteps coming towards him.

In a hurry, Qin Zhibo did a tactical roll and hid under the piano.
