Conan's grammatical investigator

Chapter 761: Maginot Line

Outside the banquet hall, Qin Zhibo was following the unscrupulous reporter with a big belly.

Judging from the name floating above his head, his name is Ed Mike, not Japanese.

After provoking in full view, he went to the guest room in the middle of the fourth floor alone, took out his room card, and entered it.

According to Qin Zhibo's knowledge, the hotel will not officially open until today.

This person got the room card in advance, which should also be a gift of the invitation letter.

Not only has the right to issue invitations at will, but also the room card. He should be one of the three owners of the hotel.

This is actually an invitation to die.

Qin Zhibo threw a guard totem that had just cooled down into the room, so he could monitor the situation inside.

In the room, Ed Mike sat at the dining table, enjoying a sushi meal alone.

That finger-licking expression of enjoyment, completely unaware that his own death is approaching.

Of course, Qin Zhibo will not rush into the room at this time, saying that someone is going to kill you.

There is a story in the classic comic "Doraemon". It tells that Nobita learned in advance that the fat tiger father would be hit by a car through a time machine.

As a result, Nobita went to the place where the car accident happened and pushed Fat Tiger's father down ahead of time, but was beaten up by Fat Tiger instead.

From this story, besides "fat tiger = newborn", we can also know that the so-called foresight is just the cognition of the current world line.

When the "butterfly flaps its wings", the world line will change, and the previously predicted content will no longer exist.

And some people are full of bad water, and Jesus can't keep them, Conan said.

After releasing the guard totem, Qin Zhibo returned to the banquet hall.

The interactive session here has just ended, and the staff is clearing the venue to let all the guests exit in an orderly manner.

Meeting the Mori family and the Hattori couple head-on, Conan was a little surprised when he saw Qin Zhibo just back from outside.

"Uncle Qin, where have you been?"

Qin Zhibo said casually: "I went to the toilet, what's the matter? Is the reception over now?"

Mori Kogoro shook his head, and said angrily, "It seems to be some outdoor activity, let everyone go out."

"Really, how can there be any reason to invite people in and drive them out?"

In the first half, Kogoro Mori was just chatting with the female star, and he hadn't eaten yet. He was a little worried that he wouldn't be able to get his fare back.

Qin Zhibo glanced at the three sports stars on the stage, as if they were discussing something.

Regarding this, Qin Zhibo didn't take it seriously, just to see what tricks he was going to play next.

When she came outside the building, Mao Lilan took out the walkie-talkie in her hand and told her what Ray Katis had told her.

It turned out that the three of them wanted to use the lights of the hotel rooms to piece together a letter "K" on the building.

Ray Cartis, who played football, was in charge of the third and fourth floors.

Mike Nord, who played baseball, was in charge of the fifth and sixth floors.

Ricka Barre, a boxer, was in charge of the seventh and eighth floors.

The three of them performed their own duties, and under the command of Mao Lilan, they carried out the work of switching lights in an orderly manner.

When everyone was looking up at the hotel building, only Qin Zhibo closed his eyes, observing reporter Ed in the guest room on the fourth floor.

At this time, the light in Ed's room was off, and he himself was sitting motionless on the sofa in the living room, as if waiting for something.

Suddenly, the doorbell rang outside the door.

Ed got up to open the door, but didn't see anyone.

"Hey? What are you doing?"

Ed opened the door and shouted towards the side of the corridor, but the answer was a gunshot.

Pia——

Ed was shot, his fat and swollen body was holding on to the door frame, and he was still struggling to run into the room.

But the killer went straight to the door and shot Ed in the body again.

Then, he quickly threw the gun in his hand next to Ed's body and closed the door.

Qin Zhibo saw that face clearly.

It's Ray Katis.

When everyone was immersed in the surprise of the hotel's light show, a discordant voice suddenly came from the air.

Pia——

In less than two seconds, there was another gunshot, accompanied by the sound of glass shattering.

Pia——

After that, three sports stars in the hotel popped out of the windows respectively.

Ricardo Barre: "What's wrong?"

Mike Nord: "What happened?"

Ray Cartis: "Is that a gunshot?"

The "K" of 3K became the "K" of Kill.

Everyone present was shocked and overwhelmed for a moment, only Conan and Hattori Heiji were the first to react, and their faces turned serious.

"He Ye, tell the three of them not to move around in the room!"

Hattori Heiji gave a warning, and hurried upstairs with Conan.

At this time, Kogoro Mori realized that he was also a detective, and hurried to chase after him.

After Mori Kogoro had run away, Qin Zhibo, who was standing there, slowly opened his eyes and walked into the building unhurriedly.

Conan and Hattori Heiji, who were one step ahead, quickly ran to the room where the glass was broken, and saw the obese patient lying in a pool of blood.

Conan hurried in to take a look, only to find that it was the American reporter who was provocative in the middle of the reception just now.

The reporter was gone, and Conan and Hattori Heiji hurriedly conducted on-site inspections while the body was still warm.

Next to the body was a revolver, which was supposed to be the murder weapon.

There is also a reporter with his right hand holding the belt, and his left hand making a gesture of the number three, which seems to have some meaning.

As soon as the body was examined, Mori Kogoro rushed over.

This surprised Conan and Hattori Heiji. Qin Zhibo should have arrived at this time in the past.

But considering that Qin Zhibo was injured, it is understandable that he is slower than Uncle Mao Li.

After a while, some on-site reporters who heard the news came one after another.

Conan, Hattori Heiji: "."

After a while, the hotel staff came.

Conan, Hattori Heiji: "."

After a while, Mao Lilan and Yuan Shanhe Ye also came.

Conan, Hattori Heiji: "."

After almost everyone who was supposed to come had arrived, Qin Zhibo walked over at a leisurely pace.

Heiji Hattori, who was waiting impatiently, "Uncle, why did you come here?"

Hattori Heiji was still waiting for Qin Zhibo to come over, and then officially began to reason the case.

After all, the main purpose of inviting Qin Zhibo this time is to avenge the shame of the Anti-Qin Alliance.

Since it was a fair reasoning duel, of course they had to discover the corpse together and start reasoning at the same time.

Facing Hattori Heiji's complaints, Qin Zhibo responded lightly with a wise saying about life.

"Running fast does not necessarily mean winning, not falling is success."

Hattori Heiji:"."

In fact, Qin Zhibo walked slowly this time. On the one hand, he has an abdominal injury and is not suitable for strenuous exercise.

On the other hand, you already know who the murderer is. Before triggering the side mission, think about the murderer's modus operandi in advance.

In the screen of guarding the totem, Qin Zhibo has already seen that the perpetrator is Conan's idol—Ray Katis.

He should be the one who sent the invitation letter to the unscrupulous reporter, and specially arranged the location of the room on the third and fourth floors that he was in charge of, which should also be for the convenience of the murderer.

But in this case, he is the most suspected person, and it is completely meaningless to arrange this series of traps.

Therefore, Qin Zhibo felt that Ray Katis must have some means of making an alibi.

For example, a light show organized by three people.

However, because Qin Zhibo has been concentrating on using the guard totem vision, he did not see the light show.

Qin Zhibo came to the dead body of the unscrupulous reporter, did not squat down, and stared at the white light spot on the fat body.

[Corpse investigation √]

[Name of deceased: Ed Mike]

[Death time: 10 minute ago]

[Cause of death: shot dead]

[The investigation of the corpse is completed, and the character skill is acquired: Arts and Crafts (writing)]

[Obtain a repetitive skill and convert it into 1000 proficiency of the skill]

It makes sense to acquire writing skills from unscrupulous journalists.

This reporter is different from ordinary paparazzi. The paparazzi took at least a few photos. He didn't even take photos, relying entirely on his pen and imagination.

With the completion of the investigation of the corpse, a reminder of the system task also popped up.

Side task: find out the murderer of this case
Task requirements: time limit 1 hour, guide others to complete reasoning

Task reward: 500 general skill proficiency, 150 social credit
-

The moment Qin Zhibo saw the mission, he didn't pay much attention to it, as if it was the same as the previous mission.

But in the next second, I felt as if I had missed some key information.

Ok?
guide others through reasoning
Seeing this mission requirement, Qin Zhibo was dumbfounded.

Originally, Qin Zhibo's small plan had already been made, and he would ask Mao Lilan to find out about the light show later, so he could start reasoning.

But this time, he didn't deduce the murderer by himself, but let others reason, and he was responsible for guiding.

After thinking about it carefully, maybe this time I saw the perpetrator's face before the mission started, so this mission was too easy for me.

According to the system's task reward mechanism, if the task is more difficult, the reward will be increased.

Correspondingly, in order to maintain higher task rewards, the task requirements are also increased.

Qin Zhibo looked around and felt that Conan and Hattori Heiji were the best way to guide others to reason.

Thinking in his heart, Qin Zhibo coughed twice, leaned over to the small group of Conan and Hattori Heiji, and said quietly: "The deceased's hand seems to be deliberately making this gesture. Could it be some pre-death message?"

The Anti-Qin Alliance, who was looking at the corpse and thinking, was startled, and turned to look at Qin Zhibo with a puzzled look on his face.

what happened?

He's going to stage a spoiler again today?

Conan added a word "you" to what he thought.

Because in the previous female idol attack case, Qin Zhibo said some words that pointed to the clues to solve the case from time to time.

Although the unscrupulous reporter's gesture was a pre-death message, and the anti-Qin duo also saw it, but they thought it was not enough to announce it, at least they had to wait for the police to arrive.

Hattori Heiji bowed his head and gave Conan a look, meaning "Is this uncle interfering with our thoughts?"

Conan understood the meaning in Hattori's eyes, and returned a look, which meant "wait and see what happens".

Just as the two were flirting with each other, Qin Zhibo turned his head to Kogoro Mori and said, "This unscrupulous reporter seems to have said in the banquet hall that he likes sushi, right?"

Mori Kogoro nodded dully, "Oh, I seem to have said that"

Qin Zhibo's words seemed to be talking to Mori Kogoro, but in fact he was speaking to Conan and Hattori Heiji.

Qin Zhibo had already solved the pre-death message on the corpse through secret language investigation.

The fingers of the left hand gesturing the number three are actually the movement when holding sushi, and the right hand pinching the belt represents the English "band" of the belt.

Among the staff of the sushi restaurant, band refers to the No. 8 dish.

After finishing the reminder, Qin Zhibo glanced at Conan and Hattori Heiji again, still puzzled, not understanding what Qin Zhibo was expressing.

There is no other way, Qin Zhibo can only release the ultimate move.

Qin Zhibo pointed to the corpse's left hand and said something seemingly unintentional, "Does the corpse's hand look like it's grabbing a piece of sushi?"

Kogoro Mouri heard Qin Zhibo's words, bent down, and asked in doubt: "Could the deceased be eating sushi when he met the murderer?"

Qin Zhibo: "."

On the other hand, Conan and Hattori Heiji's eyes widened instantly when they heard this.

sushi + belt
Number eight!

The heads of the two were like a bolt from the blue, especially Conan, who couldn't believe it.

The death message left by an unscrupulous reporter actually pointed to his favorite football player!

This.
Conan's body froze in place, and his brain kept repeating the possibility of Ray Katis committing the crime.

At this time, the Osaka police also arrived, along with three sports stars.

The police officer in charge of the homicide investigation in Osaka was Otaki. Qin Zhibo had seen him the last time he came to Osaka, but he didn't have much impression of him.

Under Otaki's questioning, Hattori Heiji explained in detail what happened in the case.

Through Hattori Heiji's explanation, Qin Zhibo also understood what the people downstairs saw during the light show.

It turned out that two seconds after Mao Lilan asked Ray Katis to turn off the lights, gunshots erupted in the building.

However, Ray's room with the lights out was on the third floor, while the shooting took place on the fourth floor.

Such a short time difference ruled out the suspicion for Ray Katis.

But Qin Zhibo knew that this must be some trick he used to turn off the lights on the third floor on the fourth floor.

As for the method, just go to the third floor and have a look.
Just when Qin Zhibo was about to leave the room, Otaki looked around the room and found that there were many acquaintances.

"It turns out that Detective Qin and Detective Maori are here."

"Are the two famous detectives here to replace our chief and his wife?"

Hattori Heiji's parents are sick at home is a major event in the Osaka police circle, and all the cadres in the police station know it.

Although he felt that it was inappropriate to say that Qin Zhibo and himself could replace husband and wife, Kogoro Mori still nodded, "That's right."

Hearing this, Ray Katis, who was standing at the door, looked shocked.

In order to avenge his dead wife, Ray Katis deliberately chose Japan as the place of revenge.

Because he had heard from far away in the United States that at least the FBI can solve the case in the United States, but the Japanese police mainly rely on detectives to solve the case.

As long as the location of the hotel is set up in Japan, and no detectives are invited over at that time, he can sit back and relax.

So when the event organizer issued the invitation letter, Ray Katis specifically stated that he did not want to see detectives at the event.

In the end, the organizers misunderstood Lei's intentions, thinking that he was afraid of Japanese detectives prying into their secrets, so they invited the chief of police to come over to suppress the event.

After all, those detectives who walk on the edge of the law are most afraid of the police.

Later, when he heard that the Chief of the Osaka Police Department could not be invited due to illness, Ray Katis was relieved a lot.

In the end, the chief of the police station was missing, but in exchange for two detectives?

This.
While Ray Katis was struggling a little, a man with a mixed face walked in front of him.

"Hello, Maginot Line in Europe"
