Conan's grammatical investigator

Chapter 458 Born in the Darkness, Melting into the Darkness

"Hi, Miss Shimabukuro, we meet again."

Looking at Qin Zhibo's outstretched hand, Junhui Shimabukuro was a little puzzled. Didn't he shake hands with the tourist in front of him last time?
Although thinking so in her heart, Junhui Shimabukuro reached out her hand politely and responded.

When the two hands were held together, Qin Zhibo started the investigation.

【Investigation√】

Name: Junhui Shimabukuro

Will: 60
Lucky: 45
[Comment: The blood of the mermaid flows]

[Skills: Arts and crafts (acting), disguise, voice changing, cooking, car driving.]

-

When shaking hands for the first time, Qin Zhibo just casually glanced at Junhui Shimabukuro's gender and then stopped. He didn't see the bottom skills.

But this time, Qin Zhibo finally saw that Junhui Shimabukuro is the one who has the three-piece transformation suit.

The three-piece transformation set refers to performance, disguise, and voice change. As long as you have these three skills, you can transform into other people at will.

As for the person who Shimabukuro Junhui transformed into, Qin Zhibo also had a rough guess, but he was not completely sure.

Because the height difference is too much.

"Miss Shimabukuro, can I take you for a walk on the beach?"

Junhui Shimabukuro glanced in the direction of the beach with some embarrassment, but stood up anyway.

"All right."

As soon as the two left together through the side door, Conan and his party came in through the main door.

As soon as they entered the Wake Room, Conan and Hattori Heiji looked at Kadori Benzo kneeling on the cushion at the same time.

This is the first suspect in their minds, and even his daughter, Saori who has been missing, may be a helper.

So their goal today is to further observe Monri Benzo, and ask Ebina's parents about the shipwreck five years ago to determine the motive for the murder.

Ebina's parents are receiving guests outside, but the night is still long, and there is plenty of time
But at this moment, a woman's scream suddenly sounded from the side door towards the seaside of the Wake Room.

Qin Zhibo walked to the side door and was about to go to the beach. Before the door was opened, a few thunderclaps illuminated the dark beach, and a corpse hanging from a fishing net was suddenly visible.

Shimabukuro Junhui screamed in fright, attracting other people in the wake room.

"What happened!?"

Hattori Heiji ran over to take a look, and also saw the corpse hanging on the fishing net, staring at an unconventional pot head.

"It seems to be Miss Naoko!"

Realizing this, Hattori Heiji hurriedly asked Uncle Mori to get the flashlight, but Qin Zhibo had already taken out the nuclear lighter and walked to the beach.

Seeing the light on Qin Zhibo's body, Conan remembered that his watch could also shine, so he quickly turned on the light and followed behind to the beach.

Seeing the light on his good friend, Hattori Heiji hurried to follow.

While walking, the three of them observed the footprints on the beach.

There is only a series of straight footprints leading to the beach. If these footprints were made by Naoko Heijiang herself, could it be that...
Hattori Heiji and Conan looked at each other, thinking of the proper term in their minds.

But before he said it and acted like a B, Qin Zhibo denied what the two of them thought.

"It's not a secret room murder, you see"

Following the direction of Qin Zhibo's finger, the two saw a long series of footprints leading straight to the sea behind the fishing net hanging Naoko Heijiang's body.

Not only that, there are some small sequins sprinkled on the ground next to the footprints.

Conan quickly squatted on the ground and picked up a piece before he was sure what it was.

"This is the scale of a fish"

Qin Zhibo put on white gloves, took the scale from Conan's hand, and checked it in front of the lighter.

Uniform round scales, half light blue, half mother-of-pearl.
【Investigation√】

[A piece of deja vu scale]

No matter how many people die in the same series of cases, the task will only be triggered once.

The mission had already been triggered when Ebina died before, so now Qin Zhibo can directly investigate without triggering the mission.

Qin Zhibo found the footprints behind the fishing net just now through investigation.

As for this scale, of course Qin Zhibo seemed to have known him before.

This is exactly the kind of scale that fell off Shimabukuro Keiwa when he was chasing Shimabukuro in the mermaid forest.

When Mori Kogoro borrowed the flashlight, Hattori Heiji and Conan carefully investigated the surroundings.

The number of scales is not too much, but the location of the distribution is puzzling.

Around Naoko Heijiang, the number of scales is relatively large, while the number of scales along the footprints is relatively small.

There are also some scales on Naoko's body.

From this point of view, it seems that a mermaid covered with scales came from the sea to kill Naoko, so the scales on his body fell more when the target struggled violently.

But at other times, because it's just ordinary walking, the scales don't fall very much.

Although spreading scales in this way is very logical, the murderer didn't really think that the police would identify the murderer as a mermaid, right?
Conan and Hattori Heiji didn't understand the murderer's mind, while Qin Zhibo stood beside Naoko Kuroe, and first quietly picked up the skills on the corpse.

[Corpse investigation √]

[Name of the deceased: Heijiang Naoko]

[Time of death: half an hour ago]

[Cause of death: strangled]

[Corpse investigation completed, skill acquired: Accountant]

[Repeatedly acquired skills, converted into 1000 skill proficiency for this skill]

After the investigation was completed, Qin Zhibo's accounting skills have been upgraded to one level, and his ability to check for fake accounts has become even stronger.

At this moment, the police from Fukui County arrived a day later, hurried over with a flashlight, and scolded these people to leave the murder scene.

Mori Kogoro explained his identity to the indigenous police here.

"The three of us are legal and regular detectives with professional ethics and will not destroy the scene at will."

The policeman froze for a moment, and counted the people on the beach with his fingers.

"One, two, three, is this kid also a detective?"

Mori Kogoro was taken aback, only to realize that Conan was also investigating seriously beside him.

Seeing that the policeman was referring to him, Conan scratched his head and giggled twice, and was rewarded by Mori Kogoro with a trick of "Get out of the scene".

"Now the remaining three are detectives." Mori Kogoro explained again.

But the policeman glanced at the beach, his eyes still full of doubts.

"One and two are obviously only two people, where is the third person?"

Hearing this, Hattori Heiji, who had been standing on the beach in an orderly manner, was upset.

"Hey, hey! Am I not human?"

Suddenly, a strange Kansai accent came from the direction of the dark seaside, which startled the unknowing native policemen.

"Who is talking?"

"Come out and let me see you!"

Qin Zhibo glanced at the policemen who were looking around, and then at Hattori Heiji who was standing next to him.

He sighed helplessly, and lit Hattori Heiji with a nuclear lighter.

This is a sad story of "born in darkness, melted into darkness".

But who said that those who stand in the light are heroes?
