Conan Rick's Investigator

Hideo Kawashima still didn't speak.

"Is he really crazy?" Megure guessed.

"impossible!"

Eager to prove his reasoning, Kogoro Mouri stepped forward angrily, grabbed Kawashima Hideo's collar and pulled him up from the ground.

"Don't play dumb! You must have been the one who killed him!"

"Hey, hey...Brother Maori..."

Megure was busy trying to stop Kogoro Mouri's suspected violent forced confession, while Qin Zhibo quietly walked to the two bodies lying on the ground.

Kuroiwa Tatsuji and Nishimoto Ken.

We can't forget to investigate the corpse...

As for the "crazy" Kawashima Hideo, Qin Zhibo had just secretly investigated him.

His current Willpower is 5.

It is very likely that the damage is permanent, just like Ma Chengshi's, and he will basically say goodbye to normal human communication from now on.

On this side, Qin Zhibo investigated the bodies of Kuroiwa Tatsuji and Nishimoto Ken successively.

The results of the investigation are known in advance, so the results are not important, what is important is the process.

After the corpse investigation is completed, one skill can be extracted from each of the two corpses.

What was extracted from Xiben Fitness is a repetitive skill, firearms skill.

Chapter 105 The Truth Called "Yellow Fear"

Repeating a skill is converted into 1000 points of exclusive proficiency for that skill. Currently, Qin Zhibo's firearm level is still 3, with a proficiency of 2100/4000 and a maximum accurate shooting range of 550 yards.

However, Qin Zhibo extracted a new skill from Heiwa Tatsuji that he had never seen before.

……

Art and Craft (Forgery): Forgery refers to your ability to forge text, books, and calligraphy. Improving this skill will improve your ability to imitate handwriting and forge certificates.

Rating: 1

Proficiency: 100/1000

(There is no doubt that the art of "imitation" is also art)

……

Who would have thought that some people who appear to be village chiefs are actually fake certificate makers?

Kuroiwa Tatsuji looks big and strong, and in some ways he can be considered a half-artist.

After collecting the skills from the corpse, Qin Zhibo turned to look at Kawashima Hideo.

At this time, Inspector Megure and Kogoro Mori were still insisting on "playing the lute to a cow".

"Did you kill those two people?"

"And this pistol, is it yours too?"

Inspector Megure was a little annoyed by Kawashima Hideo's "pretending to be crazy" behavior, but no matter how many times he asked Kawashima Hideo, Kawashima always looked stupid.

You can never wake up someone who is pretending to be asleep.

This statement is actually wrong, at least you can kick him awake.

But you can never wake up a person who is pretending to be crazy.

As long as his acting is convincing enough and he has enough patience, he can keep pretending for the rest of his life.

At this time, Conan also held his chin with one hand, and looked at the dull-looking Kawashima Hideo with his eyes.

Conan wanted to judge or prove whether Kawashima Hideo was pretending to be crazy or was really crazy based on his tiny movements.

After all, Conan still doesn't think that there is any possibility that Hideo Kawashima has gone crazy.

A man like him would never go crazy just because he killed two accomplices.

Unless there's something even more surprising...

At this moment, another police officer ran over to report to Inspector Megure: "Inspector, pistol bullets and this folder were found in the safe in Kawashima Hideo's home."

"It appears to contain drug transaction records and cargo manifests from smuggling ships. Besides drugs, other contraband goods are also being smuggled."

"Good job!"

Inspector Megure was overjoyed, thinking that with these things, it would be useless for Hideo Kawashima to deny it by pretending to be crazy.

But just as Megure was about to unfold the large yellow folder and read the contents in front of Kawashima Hideo, Kawashima Hideo suddenly backed away like a madman.

The police behind him quickly used their legs to push against Kawashima Hideo's body, but he continued to shrink back, shouting in a trembling voice: "Yellow!"

“It’s yellow!”

"yellow……"

Megure had no idea what this meant, so he turned to Kogoro Mouri next to him for advice.

"Brother Maori, what does he mean by 'yellow'?"

"Maybe it's the folder in your hand... This should be important and decisive evidence, so he's scared?"

……

Outside the community center, Qin Zhibo left quietly.

Originally, Qin Zhibo came to the community center this time just to pick up some skills from the two corpses and tell the police the information about the drug trafficking gang.

All the work that needs to be done has been done, and the rest will be left for the police to think about slowly.

On the way, Qin Zhibo happened to meet the old policeman on the island.

The two of them happened to be on the same route, so they just chatted casually.

"I can't believe it. Starting with Mr. Aso twelve years ago, almost all of my good friends back then are dead now..."

"There's only one left, Mr. Kawashima, and he's also in a state of madness."

The old policeman lamented the impermanence of life, but Qin Zhibo grasped some information from his words.

"Are you saying that Keiji Aso, Isamu Kameyama, Tatsuji Kuroiwa, Ken Nishimoto, and Hideo Kawashima were childhood friends?"

"Yeah, that's right." The old policeman nodded as a matter of course. "They grew up together. I still remember that."

"Oh, by the way, I remember that Mr. Aso seemed to have a son. He had a serious illness when he was young, and he has been living in a large hospital in Tokyo for treatment ever since."

"The name should be... Chengshi, right?"

"Thank goodness, he was sick back then, otherwise he would have died in that fire..."

It is suspected that Qin Zhibo's social skills (eloquence) were brought into play, and the old policeman revealed a secret that Conan had been looking for for a long time.

It seems that the inconspicuous old policeman is the YYDS.

Furthermore, the old policeman said with some regret: "Almost everything that could be burned at the fire scene was burned. Only a piece of sheet music in the safe remained."

"I kept this sheet music as a relic, hoping that Mr. Aso's son would come back one day to retrieve it."

"But it's a pity that no one has come..."

Hearing this, Qin Zhibo immediately became alert and asked, "Can you let me see this music sheet?"

"Of course, you can, but the sheet music is in the community center's warehouse, and the key to the warehouse is in the police station."

"Then go get it. Come on, I'll go with you..."

Under Qin Zhibo's forced pulling, the old policeman reluctantly went to the police station to look for the key.

Qin Zhibo, who was sitting on a chair waiting, looked at the busy figure of the old policeman and had a bad feeling in his heart.

Why is the location of the Yellow Wonder mission exactly at the former residence of Keiji Aso?

I'm afraid the reason behind this is not simple.

……

More than an hour later, the old policeman finally found the key to the community center's warehouse amid his own cheers.

During this time, if Qin Zhibo had not considered the negative impact, he would have wanted to use a crowbar to pry open the dilapidated wooden door of the warehouse.

I returned to the community center with the key, but the police and villagers had already left.

After some inquiries, it turned out that Megure felt that it would be too crowded to handle the case in the community center, so he transferred all the relevant personnel to the village office.

No one disturbed him, which was exactly what Qin Zhibo wanted.

The old policeman opened the dusty warehouse and searched hard in various file boxes, and finally found the music score.

"This is it!"

"Show me quickly."

Qin Zhibo snatched the thick sheet of music. Anyone who understands music could tell at a glance that the notes on it could not be connected to form a piece of music.

There are also investigation points here, which are secret language investigations.

This reminded Qin Zhibo of the time when Masashi Mamoru wanted to place a piece of music on the piano in the community center after attacking Kawashima Hideo.

That sheet of music also has a secret code investigation.

However, Qin Zhibo felt that it was meaningless to leave something that no one could understand, and it might also allow people to discover evidence such as fingerprints and hair, so he asked Ma Chengshi to remove it.

And now, as the secret investigation progresses, Qin Zhibo discovers a truth called "Yellow Fear".

Chapter 106: The Fall of a Musician

The principle behind this music code is not complicated.

Mark the English letters of the alphabet on the piano keyboard from left to right in order, and then write the message you want to express in pinyin using musical notes on the sheet music.

Based on this solution, you can understand the music score left by Keiji Aso.

To my son, Chengshi

[When you read this music, I may have difficulty controlling my behavior.]

[Before I completely lose my mind, I choose to tell you everything]

Fifteen years ago, I went to Oklahoma, USA, to give a performance and met several Yellow Friars.

Through their introduction, I learned about the great god that their church believed in.

No one in the church dares to call this god by his true name.

[I only know that the yellow monks call it "the nameless one"]

Under the arrangement of these yellow monks, I became an agent of the church, using the opportunity of overseas performances to engage in drug-related work around the world.

[The purpose of this is to raise funds for the church’s various religious activities and foundations]

After that, I returned to Moon Shadow Island and brought along my childhood friends from the same hometown to engage in drug trafficking.

When I think back on all this while I'm still conscious, it's an unimaginable disaster.

My brain seemed to be controlled and bewitched, and I could not break free from the control of those yellow-robed monks.

The musician's mind belongs to me only when I am playing the piano.

[As for the rest of the time, only God knows what kind of monster exists in this body of mine.]

It was the faith of that church that transformed my mind. I began to yearn uncontrollably, hoping to reach the side of the "Nameless One."

My mind is gradually corrupting, and all kinds of evil and crazy thoughts are unconsciously revealed.

[I almost strangled you to death when you were still in your cradle!]

[Until recently, I began to see more hallucinations, and my hazy consciousness often made it impossible for me to tell whether I existed in reality.]

[And in the real dreamland, I often see the "Nameless One" in yellow standing before me.]
