Conan Rick's Investigator

Page 89

Although the police have determined it to be suicide, the monks in the temple are still struggling with the issue not of suicide, but rather...

"It's Mist Tengu!"

"Only Mist Tengu has the strength to create such a big hole in the wall!"

Kuan Nian excitedly pointed to a large hole in the corridor facing the cliff in the practice room, and explained that such a large hole in the wall could not be easily dug out by human power.

The atheist Megure and Maori Kogoro looked at each other with disdain and were not moved at all.

"Baga Bagaxi..."

"There is no such monster in the world."

some……

It just might not be what humans imagine.

Thinking of the strange creature he encountered last night, Qin Zhibo silently refuted Inspector Megure's words in his heart.

At the same time, Conan thought about it again and again, and finally decided to raise his finger and point at Qin Zhibo.

"Uncle Qin, around two o'clock last night, you were not in your room, right?"

For a moment, everyone's eyes were fixed on Qin Zhibo.

That look seemed to be saying...

Is Qin Zhibo a suspect?

Killing one's own relatives for the sake of justice (Qin)?

As soon as Conan's testimony came out, Qin Zhibo immediately became the focus of everyone's attention.

Inspector Megure stepped forward and said bluntly, "Brother Qin, is what Conan said true?"

Qin Zhibo glanced at Conan calmly.

Since Conan accurately stated the time as two o'clock last night, it means that Conan went to his room to confirm at that time.

So now lying is meaningless and will only make things worse.

"I wasn't in the room at the time."

"Where did you go?"

"I went out for a stroll..."

"Strolling out in the middle of the night?"

Inspector Megure was skeptical about Qin Zhibo's words, and at this time, Conan gave another assist.

"Uncle Qin, I remember the suitcase you brought with you when you came wasn't in the room..."

"A suitcase?" Inspector Megure turned to Qin Zhibo and asked, "What's in the suitcase?"

This guy……

Looking at Conan's annoying head, Qin Zhibo had the urge to expose in public that Edogawa Conan was Kudo Shinichi.

But after thinking about it, I decided to forget it.

There will be plenty of opportunities to take revenge on Conan in the future, so for now, it’s better to get rid of the suspicion on yourself.

Qin Zhibo cleared his throat and said seriously, "First of all, the contents of my suitcase have nothing to do with this case, and there's nothing illegal in it. Conan should know that."

Since Conan paid special attention to his suitcase, Qin Zhibo easily guessed that it was Professor Agasa who revealed the matter of the suitcase to him.

"Secondly, since Conan knows exactly that I was not in the room at 11 o'clock last night, and Abbot Tenyong died around o'clock."

"That's a lot of time. If I were the criminal, I wouldn't have killed someone and then not returned to the room for so long that it would have aroused suspicion."

"Finally, I had absolutely no motive to kill an old abbot whom I had never met before."

Qin Zhibo's words were clear and logical, which made Megure, who was always doing his job, feel a little embarrassed.

Isn't it a bit unfair to doubt my younger brother who has made great contributions to me just because of the nonsensical testimony of an elementary school student?

"Well, well... Don't be angry, Brother Qin. I'm just asking a routine question."

Inspector Megure comforted his younger brother, and then, as if to help his younger brother find psychological balance, he began to ask other people for their alibis.

As for Conan, of course he didn't really suspect that Qin Zhibo killed the old abbot.

Conan simply wanted to use Inspector Megure's name to find out why Qin Zhibo left the temple in the middle of the night with the device in the suitcase.

However, the social credit Qin Zhibo had used recently was still very useful, and he easily got away with it.

Just when Conan's plan failed and he was about to use another one to test Qin Zhibo, Qin Zhibo took the initiative to walk up to Conan and stroked Conan's head with a smile.

"If you talk nonsense without any evidence, I will be angry too~"

As soon as he finished speaking, Qin Zhibo took out the handkerchief that Kudo Shinichi had lent him from his arms with his other hand and pretended to wipe his hands.

To outsiders, this action looked like Qin Zhibo disliked Conan's hair being a little greasy, so he took out a handkerchief to wipe his hands.

But in fact, it was a hint that if you ask about the box again, I will expose your true identity.

you are vicious!

Conan glanced at Qin Zhibo and left dejectedly.

Qin Zhibo, who had some free time, continued to look up and watch "Xiao Hei"'s criminal performance.

In fact, before the police arrived, Qin Zhibo had already completed the search of all investigation points and unlocked the scene reconstruction.

For a crime like this that happened in a small space, searching the investigation point would be extremely easy.

However, this time the crime process was quite long. Even when fast-forwarding, the scene was not over until Inspector Megure arrived.

At this moment, when Qin Zhibo raised his head, he could see "Xiao Hei" floating above the practice room, and its height was almost touching the landing forensic officer who was lying on the beam to do the forensic work.

Before this, "Xiao Hei" carried out a series of incredible preparations, and then allowed himself to float upwards in the training room for a considerable period of time as if floating in water.

Now, "Xiao Hei" finally slowly floated to the height of the beam and made the action of putting the rope on the beam.

At this time, the forensic officer Tomi, who was lying on the beam in reality, also made some discoveries and was about to report to Inspector Megure below.

"Inspector, just like two years ago, the dust on both sides of the beam is very clear, and there is no sign of any touching at all."

"And the center of the beam..."

Just as he said this, the forensic officer suddenly felt a chill on his arm.

At that moment, it was as if a disgusting evil passed through his body, and Dengmi shuddered with fear on his arms that were supporting himself on the beam.

Without support from his arms, Dengmi immediately lost his balance and fell from the ten-meter-high beam.

"what--"

"Hey!"

Megure, Maori and Conan, who happened to be standing in the training room, were horrified.

Fortunately, Dengmi was protected by a rope tied around his waist, which saved his life and the lives of the people below.

"Hurry up and pull him up!"

Under the order of Inspector Megure, the police on the skylight finally pulled Tomoe back.

Deng Mi, who survived the disaster, was so scared that he collapsed on the floor, gasping for breath, and could not understand the unnatural trembling of his arm just now.

Because this is not the first time that his body has behaved like this at a murder scene.

……

Qin Zhibo, on his side, had already followed "Xiao Hei" to the outside of the practice room.

Just now in Qin Zhibo's vision, "Xiao Hei" undoubtedly put the body of Abbot Tianyong on the beam, and then climbed out from the skylight that was at the same height as the beam.

Next, "Xiao Hei" ran to the small wooden window below the practice room and swung something hard to hit the window.

[End of reenactment]

Qin Zhibo finally watched the entire criminal process of "Xiao Hei" by fast forwarding.

There is no doubt that "Xiao Hei" is a human being.

Although it looked like he was floating in the air, it was actually just that in his own reconstruction of the scene, he did not see the medium that allowed "Xiao Hei" to float in the air.

As for what this medium is, Qin Zhibo already has the answer in his mind.

Not only that, Qin Zhibo also knows where the evidence is now.

But who is the murderer?

As before, even if Qin Zhibo knew where the evidence was, the police would exceed the mission time because of the fingerprints on the evidence.

And I need the answer now!

At this moment, a series of women's crying voices came into Qin Zhibo's ears.

When we went to the corridor, we saw a lady named Kikuno lying on the body of Abbot Ten'ei and crying bitterly.

According to the introduction of monks Kuan Nian and Mu Nian next to them, Ms. Kikuno is the granddaughter of Abbot Tianyong, and she used to come to the temple often to relax and play.

However, since Chuannian's death two years ago, Ms. Kikuno, who had always had a good relationship with Chuannian, has never come to Sanni Temple again, and she is engaged to the heir of a large temple in Tokyo.

Hearing this, Qin Zhibo, who was standing behind, suddenly asked, "Excuse me, what is the real name of that monk Zhongnian?"

Kuan Nian and Mu Nian were startled by Qin Zhibo's sudden question, but they remembered it after a few seconds of recollection.

"I remember……"

"I think his name is Takahashi or Reiji..."

Looking at everyone present, a name on a bald head caught Qin Zhibo's attention.

Matsuo Nobuchi…

Chapter 116: Run errands, Conan-kun!

Takahashi Reiyoshi, Matsuo Nobutomo...

Loyalty, filial piety, benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom and trustworthiness...

How come these two names sound so compatible, apart from the surname part?

The owner of this name is the most inconspicuous monk in the temple and also the new monk this year.

Xiu Nian!

Qin Zhibo walked straight to the front of Xiunian and introduced himself with a kind face: "I haven't introduced myself to you formally yet. My name is Qin Zhibo, and I'm a detective from Tokyo."

Xiunian scratched her head in confusion at Qin Zhibo's sudden introduction to her.

"But didn't you introduce yourself at the dinner table yesterday?"

Xiunian suspected that Qin Zhibo might have suddenly lost his memory, but Qin Zhibo directly and forcefully pulled Xiunian's hand and held it with his own.

"Oh?"

"Really? Did I introduce myself?"

"It's okay. It won't hurt to introduce it again."

Looking at Qin Zhibo's smiling expression, Xiunian could only let her hand be held by someone else.

The key point is that Xiunian tried to break free, but the donor in front of her was really strong!

Qin Zhibo has quietly launched an investigation.
