Conan Rick's Investigator

Furthermore, the two detectives used evidence from different angles to prove it...

No matter how I explain it now, it’s meaningless. The police only need a phone call to confirm that my real name is Takahashi Nobutomo and then determine my motive.

The evidence that he carried out this method is now in Qin Zhibo's hands.

After struggling internally for a few moments, the short Xiunian lowered his head and began to recount his crime and motives.

The motive is the same as Qin Zhibo guessed, Xiu Nian and Zhong Nian are brothers.

Suspicious about the cause of Zhongnian's death, Xiu Nian came to the temple to become a practicing monk, and spent half a year to figure out the murder method in the case.

However, Xiunian was still troubled by not knowing who the murderer was, until yesterday when Xiunian saw Abbot Tianyong's resistance to the detective.

So Xiunian forced Abbot Tianyong to tell the whole story by getting him drunk.

Seeing that Abbot Tianyong had no remorse and even mocked Zhongnian's death for bringing fame to the temple, Xiunian lost his mind and strangled Abbot Tianyong from behind, repeating the same method he used two years ago.

After saying this, Xiunian smiled bitterly, looked up at the tall Qin Zhibo, and said miserably: "If I had a detective as sharp as you back then, who could see through Abbot Tianyong's tricks just as you saw through my murderer, I wouldn't have ended up like this today..."

As Xiunian finished speaking, Inspector Megure next to him raised his hand and pulled down his hat, his expression hidden under the shadow of the brim of the hat full of shame.

Not far away, Conan, who was holding a bow-tie voice changer, was also thinking silently.

Although the murderer is the one who committed the murder, the detective's job is only to solve the case and find the murderer, and he seems to be the absolutely righteous party.

However, if the detective is even slightly careless or makes a mistake in his work, he can also hurt others and commit "murder" in the name of justice.

Human life is more important than anything else!

At this moment, Conan felt as if he had understood something.

Just when almost everyone was thinking about it, Xiunian, who seemed to be giving up resistance, suddenly accelerated and rushed towards the door of the training room which had almost no defenses.

Qin Zhibo, who happened to be standing at the door of the training room, reached out to grab Xiunian who was rushing out, but Xiunian flexibly lowered his head and, with the advantage of his short stature and bald head, slipped out from under Qin Zhibo's hand.

Immediately afterwards, Xiunian jumped over the railing and was about to jump off the cliff.

He wants to commit suicide!

Conan's eyes widened, and he immediately understood Xiunian's thoughts, but he was helpless and could only watch this scene.

At this critical moment, the "Sleeping Maori Kogoro" sitting on the railing suddenly waved his hand to the side and accurately grabbed Xiunian's arm.

But at this time Xiunian's body had already jumped over the railing.

So the weight of Xiu Nian caused Maori Kogoro's body to lean back rapidly, and it seemed that the two of them were about to fall off the cliff together.

"father!"

Seeing this scene, Mao Lilan screamed.

However, just when Kogoro Mouri's entire body was about to tilt in mid-air, he suddenly exerted force with his feet, and his knees hooked tightly onto the wooden railing.

In this way, Maori Kogoro grabbed Xiu Nian, who was about to jump off the cliff to commit suicide, with one hand, hooked his legs on the railing, and hung upside down for several seconds before he woke up in a daze.

Looking at the upside-down sky and earth in front of him, Kogoro Mouri was immediately frightened and screamed like a child.

"what--"

The police nearby rushed forward to lend a hand and finally managed to pull both of them up.

During this process, Qin Zhibo stood by and observed calmly.

Is Kogoro Mouri pretending to be asleep?

……

Conan also had the same idea as Qin Zhibo.

Although to outsiders it seems that the sleeping Kogoro Mouri is just pretending to be asleep, it is normal for him to catch the criminal who wants to commit suicide next to him.

But Conan was of course aware that Kogoro Mouri was shot unconscious by him, and he should still be in a coma at this time.

Is it...

Conan suddenly thought of a possibility, that is, Kogoro Mouri's body has developed drug resistance.

It is inevitable that the body will develop drug resistance if the same anesthetic is used for a long time.

It must be the drug resistance that made Kogoro Mouri wake up early, and then he happened to catch Shuinian jumping off the cliff when his consciousness was still hazy.

It seems that I need to ask Dr. Agasa to increase the dosage of the anesthetic needle when I return...

Suddenly, Conan thought of something very important that he had not reported.

"Uncle Maori, I found something pink when I was looking for evidence at the foot of the mountain! It looks like the corpse of some animal."

Looking at Conan's serious expression, the frightened Kogoro Mouri showed a somewhat impatient and confused expression.

"What do you mean by looking for evidence? What are you talking about?"

Conan secretly breathed a sigh of relief. As expected, Kogoro Mouri woke up early because of drug resistance, instead of pretending to be asleep.

But no one would believe me if I said that.

Originally, Conan planned to send the police to investigate through Kogoro Mouri's mouth.

Now that Kogoro Mouri has woken up early, he has lost his voice again.

Just when Conan felt a little helpless, Qin Zhibo came over and patted Conan on the shoulder.

"Conan-kun, it seems you found something interesting at the foot of the mountain."

"Can you take uncle to see it?"

……

Under Conan's leadership, the main police force did not follow, but Mao Lilan and Qin Zhibo did follow.

With two adults following him, especially Qin Zhibo, an adult with high social credit, Conan can feel much more at ease.

As long as Qin Zhibo sees this pink thing and goes back to tell the police, it will definitely attract enough attention.

Then botanists, zoologists, biologists, naturalists...

It is absolutely no problem for scientists from all walks of life to come here and study these pink creatures thoroughly!

However, when the three of them came to the stream at the foot of the mountain, they only saw the gurgling water and did not see any other strange objects in the water.

"This is absolutely impossible!"

Conan stared wide-eyed at the narrow surface of the water, but there was indeed no trace of pink residue on the surface.

"Conan, really..."

"Could you have seen it wrong?"

Ran Mouri didn't think Conan was the kind of child who would lie or play pranks, so she could only answer that she was mistaken.

Among the three, only Qin Zhibo looked at the investigation point on the water with a calm expression.

Chapter 120 The Disappearance of the "Mist Tengu"

【Survey√】

[…This is a fungal organism with the appearance of a crustacean…]

[…The body is composed of a special substance unknown to humans, and it is impossible to capture it with ordinary photography techniques…]

[…After death, the body will quickly dissolve within a few hours…]

[…A clan that practices secrecy and will not proactively contact or attack humans…]

[…From prehistoric times to the present day, it has become the origin of various folk legends about demons and goblins…]

[…MI-Go…]

After the investigation is completed, the corresponding completion prompt will appear for the main challenge task.

Congratulations on completing the yellow mission.

[Mission Exploration Level: 90%]

[Acquire 2700 general skill proficiency]

[Gain 360 Mythical Knowledge Skill Proficiency]

With the 2700 plus the proficiency given by the side quest just now, Qin Zhibo gained 3100 general skill proficiency during his trip to Shanni Temple.

Current balance: 5920

It was enough time to go shopping and do some shopping, but Qin Zhibo was not in a hurry to study the store's affairs right now.

In the midday sun, Qin Zhibo saw some oily, unusual, translucent gray stains floating on the water.

However, even these difficult-to-find stains are slowly drifting away with the water flow, until every trace of their existence in this world is completely lost.

Their name is MI...

On the other side, Conan was still running back and forth by the stream, staring with eyes as big as Carmen's, looking for something pink.

Conan's mood became increasingly impatient, for he was certain that his eyes were not mistaken.

That thing really exists!

But how come they all disappeared in just one hour?

"That thing should have dissolved!" Conan suddenly shouted.

After all, when I used a wooden stick to pick that thing apart, a lot of the pink color on it floated away with the water.

But Conan didn't expect that this thing would dissolve so quickly and so thoroughly.

Looking at Conan's increasingly anxious expression, Qin Zhibo, who originally wanted to take the opportunity to tease Conan, felt a little sympathetic.

Especially for someone like Conan who is extremely serious about some things, will he go crazy?

Just as Qin Zhibo was about to step forward and comfort Conan by saying, "Maybe we'll have a chance to see each other again in the future," Mao Li Ran took the lead, walked forward and gently hugged Conan.

Ran Mouri did not deny Conan's discovery, but just hugged the little body.

The obsession in Conan's eyes gradually relaxed in this warm embrace, and he stood there silently.

……

"Haha! I told you it was impossible. You guys got fooled by this brat!"

In the Mazda, Kogoro Mouri, who was sitting in the front seat, stuck out his tongue and laughed at his daughter and his companions with a venomous smile.

Qin Zhibo didn't care about this. He didn't want to prove anything to anyone anyway. He just wanted to complete the task.

If a MI-GO really flew out from the roadside right now, Qin Zhibo was worried that Maori Kogoro would be so scared that he would bite off his tongue.

"If you say that again, I won't make you dinner!"

Looking at Conan who still had his head down, Mao Lilan felt a little distressed, and then she decisively launched a counterattack against her father.

The threat of dinner really worked. Kogoro Mouri immediately shut up and drove, feeling a little aggrieved.

It was clearly this little brat playing a prank, why should I be threatened?

But Kogoro Mori didn't know that this was the legendary saying that girls cannot be kept when they grow up.

At this time, Conan was still wondering about the pink creature in the stream, what it was and why it disappeared.

After I get back, I will take some time to go to the doctor's house to check the information. Maybe it is a known species, but I just don't know it.

There is absolutely no such thing as a "Mist Tengu" in the world!

Yes! Absolutely!

Conan kept cheering himself up in his heart, emphasizing over and over again that this world is materialistic.

……

From the sinister Shanni Temple back to the simple and honest Mihua Town.

When he came back this time, the Suzuki with a flat tire that Kogoro Mouri rented was handed over to his men by Inspector Megure for disposal.

The Maori family came back in Qin Zhibo's car, so Mao Lilan wanted to invite Qin Zhibo to her home and have dinner with him as a thank you.

However, Qin Zhibo rejected Mao Lilan's invitation.

"Next time, there will be a chance next time."
