Conan's grammatical investigator

Chapter 78 "Unexpected" Corpse Investigation
Not only Qin Zhibo, but even Conan standing beside him showed pity.

On the contrary, it would be impossible for Yizhi Longzheng.

What do their eyes mean?
Are you pitying the girl?
Yizhi Takashi looked down at the girl who was being held hostage in front of him, and suddenly found that the girl was making a gesture.

This action is very similar to the preparatory action before Monkey King explodes in "Dragon Ball".

Mao Lilan: "Oh——"

Ichitaka: "?"

Qin Zhibo and Conan: "!"

Mao Lilan's flat, clamped arms suddenly stabbed back, and in an instant, Yizhilong felt an unprecedented blow to his two ribs.

A blow strong enough to break a popcorn pole.
Under the condition of being undefended at close range, Yizhi Takashi's internal organs quickly shrank and moved under Mao Lilan's elbow.

Then Ichidaka himself stiffened, took a short gasp, and put on an "Oo" expression on his face.

At this time, Mao Lilan turned around and wanted to continue punching, Qin Zhibo quickly reached out to stop him.

"Heroine! Stop!"

"If you fight again, you will be out of breath!"

When Ichiji Takashi woke up from the pain, there were more people standing in front of him.

Qin Zhibo vividly narrated the experience of being stunned by Yizhilong's sleeping pills, and then being brought into the sink to prepare to drown.

But no matter how extravagant Qin Zhibo said, Conan always responded with rolling eyes one after another.

Almost got killed by a shark.
Obviously you didn't drink that cup of coffee!

Moreover, the collar was not even stained with water, so how could it be said that he was drowned?
However, Conan did not doubt that Takashi Ichie wanted to kill Qin Zhibo,
It's just that Conan didn't want to understand the motive for the murder.

But since he wants to kill Qin Zhibo, then
At this time, Mifune Takuya rushed forward, grabbed Takashi Kazueda's collar and started roaring angrily.

"Tell me! Where did you hide Miss Lihua?"

"There's Nikaido!"

"Why kill Nikaido!"

Two of Yizhilong's ribs were broken, and he couldn't stand up right now, so he could only limp against the wall.

But for the aggressive Mifune, Ichie Takashi no longer trembled.

Inexplicably glowing spectacles concealed his inscrutable eyes.

Suddenly, Takashi Ichiji let out a roar.

"Because it was Lihua and Nikaido, a couple of dogs, who killed my Yaeko!"

After shocking everyone, Takashi Ichiji began to make a statement.

"On that stormy day two years ago, Yaeko rowed alone to a nearby small island in order to rescue the trapped Lihua."

"She was wearing a lifejacket when she left, and the lifejacket for Lihua was also put on the rubber boat."

"But I was surprised when Yaeko arrived on the island. Besides Lihua, Nikaido was also trapped on that island."

"But there are only two life jackets"

Hearing this, Mao Lilan covered her mouth in surprise: "Could it be."

"That's right!"

"It was the two of them who snatched Yaeko's life jacket to be saved!"

"That's how they killed Yaeko who came to save them!"

"I felt something was wrong. Later, when the search and rescue team found Yaeko, Yaeko didn't have a life jacket at all."

"But those two said they never met Yaeko at all."

Ichiji Takashi did not repeat the following words, and the others fell into silence.

Conan remembered the words that Nikaido said confidently when Lihua Yotsui was preparing to stay in the villa.

It seems that that sentence is actually implying that the two of them still have such a bond that others don't have.

And Ichitaka did all this for revenge.

For a while, Conan, who hadn't put on the vest of Mori Kogoro, couldn't think of any reason to make Takashi Ichie knelt down and confessed.

Others also chose to remain silent.

Only one person chose to speak.

Qin Zhibo walked forward silently, put his hand on Yizhilong's shoulder, and said in a deep voice: "Now that things have happened, I don't want to say nonsense like 'Maybe things are not what you think'."

"Actually, according to Reika Yotsui's character, I think your speculation may be true."

"But I just want to ask one question, were you on board at the time?"

Yizhi Long nodded slowly.

"Hmph." Qin Zhibo snorted coldly: "Since you were also on the boat at the time, why did you let your beloved woman take this risk?"

Hearing this, Ichitaka's head froze suddenly, and the expression on his face was completely frozen.

Qin Zhibo continued: "You said it was a stormy day, then you should have expected that your life would be in danger if you went out to rescue them."

"It doesn't matter whether there are one person or two people on the island, the rubber boat itself may be overturned by big waves, and even if a person has a life jacket in the stormy water, it is impossible for a person to last for too long."

"Especially for women, the physical exertion will be faster in the water."

"Since you are a member of the yacht club, you should be able to imagine these risks."

"But you ended up letting the woman you love take the risk, didn't you?"

That's the end of the conversation, Qin Zhibo won't say any more.

And Takashi Ichiji with a sluggish expression stared wide-eyed, two lines of tears slipped from his eyes.

No one knew what he was thinking.

No one knows whether he is shedding tears of relief after getting his revenge, or tears of regret for his past choices.

In the small space, everyone was silent.

Mourilan looked at Takashi Ichie with a sluggish face, and for some reason remembered Kudo Shinichi who hadn't seen him since the last farewell to Dorobeka Amusement Park.

if i'm in danger
Will Shinichi come to rescue me desperately?

Fortunately, what Xiaolan was thinking about was not me and your mother who fell into the water and saved first.
And Conan looked at Qin Zhibo beside him, consciously discovering Qin Zhibo's unknown emotional side.

At this moment, Mori Kogoro walked up to Takashi Ichieda with a serious face.

"Tell me where Miss Lihua is, it's still too late for atonement."

But now Ichitaka's eyes are wide open and his mouth is wide open, as if the rational part of his head has soared.

"Hey!"

Mori Kogoro grabbed Ichieda Takashi's collar and was about to reprimand him, but Qin Zhibo stopped him.

"It's fine if he doesn't want to say it. I think Lihua Sijing should still be in the villa now. I just need to search carefully again."

"Oh-um"

For some reason, Mori Kogoro, who has always been dissatisfied with his colleagues, felt that he was so convinced of what Qin Zhibo, a colleague, said at this moment.

Just like that, a group of people were about to go out of the kitchen, but Takashi Yizhi suddenly stopped everyone.

"I'll take you there."

Led by Ichitaka limping, everyone came to a bathroom with a broken light.

Seeing this bathroom, Conan had a flash of inspiration, remembering that Zhilong, himself and Mori Kogoro had searched here, but no one was found.

Is it
Standing at the door of the bathroom, Zhilong pointed to the bathtub in the bathroom, and said, "It's in that bathtub."

"According to my plan, she should be alive now"

Qin Zhibo and Mori Kogoro rushed into the bathroom first, followed by Conan.

In the dark bathroom, Qin Zhibo was in charge of providing lighting with a nuclear lighter in his hand, Mori Kogoro was in charge of opening the lid on the bathtub, and Conan was in charge of providing technical guidance.

When the folding cover was lifted, Qin Zhibo immediately saw the light belonging to the investigation point.

This investigation point is on the body of Reika Yotsui who is soaked in water.

The type of investigation is a dead body investigation.
　Thanks to Niki who only eats saury, Takaichi Saito, and Assassin Haitian for their rewards!
