Conan's grammatical investigator

Chapter 18 Sherlock Holmes and His Stupid Assistant

Still following.
Qin Zhibo turned his head slightly, pretending to be looking at the artwork hanging on the wall, but he was actually looking at Conan hiding behind the trash can.

Such blatant stalking.
Do you think I don't have eyes?
Qin Zhibo turned his face away, did not expose Conan, but continued to walk forward.

For Conan, what Qin Zhibo cares most about is his old identity of Kudo Shinichi.

If you expose Edogawa Conan as Kudo Shinichi in public, this kid will definitely deny it vigorously, and people around will only think that I just escaped from a mental hospital.

In real life, who would believe in stories like rejuvenation that only appear in fairy tales or legends?

But if we can confront each other face-to-face in a place where no one is around, maybe we can find out the ins and outs.

Making up his mind, Qin Zhibo walked towards the Hell Exhibition Hall, which had just resumed traffic and probably had no audience.

Conan, who saw Qin Zhibo walking towards the exhibition hall of hell, felt a little confused.

Obviously the security guard didn't tell Qin Zhibo that the supernatural event happened in the Hell Exhibition Hall just now, why did he go to the Hell Exhibition Hall?

Driven by curiosity, Conan quietly followed in.

Pushing open the door, the hell exhibition hall is still gloomy and dim as always.

However, Qin Zhibo came here once when it first opened, and he was already mentally prepared for the environment here.

Just now Qin Zhibo wanted to come here again for the sake of investigation, but he found a no-entry sign at the door.

Qin Zhibo thought that some new exhibits would be added, but now it seems that there are no new exhibits in the hell exhibition hall.

There are still all kinds of black soul-style artworks, especially armors with different shapes.

But just when Qin Zhibo wanted to lure Conan deeper into the hell exhibition hall, the smell of blood wafting in the air aroused the vigilance of Qin Zhibo and Conan at the same time.

The two looked at the treasure of the town hall at the same time - the right side of the painting "Punishment from Heaven". The corpse of a man in a white suit was stuck on the wall with a big sword like a demon in the painting.

The only difference from the painting is that this man is not the body of a demon, his body is full of blood, and his hideous expression before death is completely opposite to the expressionless devil in the painting.

The moment he saw the corpse, Conan was still in shock with his eyes wide open and his mouth wide open, but Qin Zhibo calmly stepped forward to investigate the corpse.

Before upgrading the investigation skill to level 2, the new corpse investigation was unlocked, so that Qin Zhibo can now see the investigation points on the corpse.

【Investigation√】

[Name of the deceased: Kazuo Manaka]

[Death time: about 5 minutes]

[Cause of death: penetrating body injury]

[The investigation of the corpse is completed, congratulations for acquiring the skill: social skills (speaking skills)]

The corpse investigation not only allowed Qin Zhibo to obtain some simple death information, but also added a new skill to Qin Zhibo's professional skills.

Social skills (spoken skills): Social skills (spoken skills) refer to your ability to use dialogue skills. Improving this skill will help you obtain the desired information or achieve other purposes through dialogue.

Rating: 1
Proficiency: 100/1000
(You can also master the art of dialogue!)
The skills acquired by the corpse investigation are completely random, but they must be the skills that the deceased originally possessed.

Qin Zhibo is no stranger to the skill of social skills (speech skills), which is one of the skills possessed by Kudo Shinichi.

For Qin Zhibo, this skill is quite practical. If he had this skill just now, he might be able to get useful information from the security guard.

But how to improve the skill proficiency of this skill?
At this moment, Conan also came up to observe the condition of the corpse.

In the past, when Conan found a dead body, he would call the police as soon as possible, and then investigate the murder scene.

But since his body became smaller, Conan found that every time he investigated the scene, he would be expelled by Mori Kogoro ruthlessly, and he might get hit on the head.

So this time Conan intends to check the condition of the corpse first, and then go outside to find Mori Kogoro and Xiaolan to call the police.

After investigating the corpse, Qin Zhibo turned his head, and as expected, he saw Conan approaching from behind, so Qin Zhibo turned his observation target to Conan.

Conan observes the corpse, Qin Zhibo observes Conan
I saw Conan rolling up his sleeves to reveal his watch, and then pressing it, the dial emitted a light similar to that of a flashlight.

This kid's equipment seems to be better than mine.

Qin Zhibo's lighting equipment is a nuclear lighter. From the perspective of lighting alone, it is indeed a bit shorter than Conan's black technology watch flashlight.

Moreover, the brightness of the watch flashlight in 96 is several times brighter than the flashlight function of the "future technology" smart watch.

This unscientific!

"work"

"Conan, where did you buy this watch?"

Conan, who was concentrating on examining the corpse, said without thinking, "It was made by Dr. A Li."

As soon as the words came out of his mouth, Conan regretted it.

He obviously didn't want Qin Zhibo to know too much information about the people around him, otherwise, with Qin Zhibo's keen observation skills, he might be able to find the ironclad proof that he is Kudo Shinichi.

But it was too late to say anything now, Qin Zhibo already knew that there was a person named Dr. Ali behind Conan.

Not only that, Qin Zhibo also found that the proficiency of the social skills (eloquence) he had just acquired jumped a bit, from the initial value of 100 to 110.

This made Qin Zhibo a little excited.

Is it possible to increase the skill proficiency of social skills (eloquence) by having a dialogue?
So Qin Zhibo asked Conan another question.

"Conan, have you had breakfast today?"

"Ate"

The question Qin Zhibo asked was abrupt, but Conan answered it anyway.

But this time, Qin Zhibo's skill proficiency did not improve at all.

It seems that having conversations that are meaningless to oneself will not improve proficiency.

If so, then it's easy to do.

"Conan, did you find anything from this corpse?"

As soon as the case was mentioned, Conan immediately forgot his identity, and said: "The blood on the corpse has not completely coagulated, and the time of death should be within 10 minutes."

"Um, what else?"

Qin Zhibo nodded in satisfaction, and his proficiency in social skills (eloquence) +10.

"The blood of the corpse is spattered like this, the murderer must have been wearing a raincoat or something when he committed the crime."

"Well, what you said makes sense, then what?"

Social Skills (Eloquence) +10.

"An anti-theft camera should be installed in the art gallery, maybe there is information about the prisoner inside."

"Well, what next?"

Social Skills (Eloquence) +10.

Seeing Qin Zhibo's satisfied smile, Conan suddenly felt something bad inside.

It feels like the wise detective Sherlock Holmes, who has already seen the truth, is teasing his unimaginative and stupid assistant, Watson, in the name of reasoning.

"Forehead"

"I think I'd better find Uncle Maori."
