Conan's grammatical investigator

Chapter 58 The challenge mission begins!
It was the same as the cemetery that Qin Zhibo saw last night, except that the cemetery during the day was much less eerie, and it looked like an ordinary cemetery that had been abandoned for a long time.

The arrangement of the tombs in the entire cemetery is very irregular. There are many tombs that are piled together randomly, and there are even many tombs that have not been buried in time.

The tombstones in the cemetery are relatively simple, most of them are made of wood, and they have almost decayed under the years of rain.

A few are stone tablets, but none of them are engraved with any words, and most of the stone tablets have collapsed.

The weeds blocked all the paths that might have existed, so Qin Zhibo had to step on the graves with some offense to pass through the cemetery.

After a little searching in the cemetery, Qin Zhibo found the "Guard Totem Foresight Transformation" that provided him with vision.

This is a dandelion planted on a grave.

As long as the yellow-white plush on the dandelion leaves the plant without being disturbed by foreign objects, it means that the guardian totem is still intact.

After browsing around, Qin Zhibo's evaluation of this cemetery is "a nameless barren mound", and he can't see anything dangerous for the time being.

Entering from the north of the cemetery and exiting from the south, Qin Zhibo found another forest path.

Going forward along this road is a deserted village.

Most of the buildings in the village have scorched marks, and it can be seen that there was a fire here.

Reminiscent of the outbreak of an infectious disease here, Qin Zhibo felt that the fire might have been set off by the government.

After all, it is now 96, and if we go back more than ten years, the medical technology will be even less developed.

Through the decayed or collapsed walls, Qin Zhibo saw that most of the houses were completely burned, leaving only the charcoal left from the burning of the furniture, baring their teeth and claws like monster minions.

Continue walking along the weedy narrow road in the center of the village, and finally find a well-preserved house.

Qin Zhibo kicked down the wooden boards covering the doorway, causing a cloud of dust.

In the room, he looked around, and what he saw was a tattered bedding that hadn't been washed all year round, dirty tableware, a stove made of broken bricks, and a ball of bandages on the ground!
Qin Zhibo raised his eyebrows, stepped forward two quick steps to check the bandage.

There was neither blood nor dust on the bandage, indicating that the bandage had only been placed here recently.

This is easily reminiscent of the bandage weirdo-Takahashi Ryoichi.

Did Takahashi escape here?

Qin Zhibo picked up the bandage on the ground and smelled it. There was a strange smell on it, but it was hard to say whether it was from Gao Qiao's body.

In addition, the daily necessities in the house made Qin Zhibo feel a bit of life.

Could it be that someone lives here?
After finishing his investigation of the deserted village, Qin Zhibo returned to the cemetery.

It is now 10 am, and there are less than 40 hours left for the challenge task. If you want to complete the task of "One Night in the Cemetery", it can only be tonight.

So after careful consideration, Qin Zhibo decided to live in the cemetery tonight.

Standing on the highest mound in the entire cemetery, Qin Zhibo studied the terrain for a long time, and decided not to live in the tent he brought over tonight.

Both the shape and the color of the tent are too prominent in this cemetery, and it is easy to become the target of unknown creatures.

The best way to get through the night is to pretend to be a part of your surroundings.

COS into a tombstone?
No, it's not scientific at all.

The solution Qin Zhibo came up with was to cosplay a dead man.

How to cosplay a dead person?
Naturally, the one lying in the coffin is the dead.

And there happened to be a few coffins in this cemetery that hadn't been buried in time, so Qin Zhibo planned to choose one of them to borrow and lie down.

After a while of careful selection, Qin Zhibo chose a paulownia coffin that was not bad in appearance.

Use a crowbar to pry open the coffin lid, and the inside is relatively dry, not as rotten as the outside.

The most important thing is that there is no family in this coffin, it is an empty coffin.

"good."

Qin Zhibo nodded in satisfaction, put the backpack aside, and went in first to "try lying down".

Holding the edge of the coffin with both hands, step in with the left foot first and then the right foot.

Just like that, Qin Zhibo, a living person, voluntarily lay down in the coffin in broad daylight.

Lying in it, Qin Zhibo realized that the coffin was a bit narrow for his height of 1.85m, and his knees had to be bent to fit in it.

But the good thing is that this narrow residence like a matchbox will give people an inexplicable sense of security, as if this coffin is their real home.

Lying in it, Qin Zhibo, who didn't sleep well last night, suddenly felt sleepy.

The eyes gradually close.

Fortunately, at the moment when the upper and lower eyelids were about to stick together, Qin Zhibo woke up with a famous saying from a great man.

Why sleep for a long time during life, you will sleep forever after death!
Now Qin Zhibo still has some preparations to do, so he can't sleep yet.

He quickly climbed out of the coffin and began to pick up weeds nearby.

First throw weeds into the bottom of the coffin, and then put the rainproof cloth that comes with it on top to make a simple bed, which can make you more comfortable lying in it at night.

Then pull up more grass to cover up the coffin as much as possible, which can be regarded as an extra layer of camouflage.

After finishing these, it was already past four o'clock in the afternoon.

During this process, the helicopter kept flying overhead, and Qin Zhibo had to hide in the coffin frequently.

It is estimated that the group of people from the villa called the police after they went down the mountain. The police have already intervened and started hunting for Takahashi Ryoichi who escaped.

"Hope the police don't find me here"

Qin Zhibo in the coffin prayed silently.

But even if the police found him, Qin Zhibo thought of some reasons to deal with Officer Mumu.

For example, I wanted to arrest Ryoichi Takahashi by "waiting for the rabbit in the coffin".

Or are you just here for an outing?

I believe that with my current social credit in 2010, even if Mu Mu doesn't believe it, he won't embarrass himself.

Time passed little by little, until the night fell completely, and the sound of the helicopter stopped appearing.

Qin Zhibo gently moved the coffin lid and took out some compressed dry food from his backpack to fill his stomach.

After the stomach was full, Qin Zhibo closed the lid of the coffin again, leaving only a narrow slit for ventilation.

Although Qin Zhibo is lying in the coffin, there are guard totems outside the coffin that can provide a 360° field of vision, so you can still see what happens outside at the first time.

As the time on the watch reached 8:00, some cold words appeared on the left side of Qin Zhibo's vision.
