Conan's grammatical investigator

Chapter 79
In the bathtub, Yoshii Reika's body was sitting against the outer wall of the bathtub. The body was fixed in the bathtub by a large number of long tapes, and only a corner of the tape on the mouth came off.

"Miss Lihua!"

Mifune and Gojo Xiu couldn't tell the difference between the living and the dead at a glance, and wanted to rush forward to rescue Sijing Lihua from the water, but was blocked by Qin Zhibo's raised arm.

"what are you doing?"

Mifune was a little angry at Qin Zhibo who hindered his "heroic rescue of the beauty".

"People are dead"

Qin Zhibo's indifferent words shocked the others present.

Everyone's eyes widened, staring at the bathtub in disbelief.

Conan, who was lying on the edge of the bathtub, squinted at Qin Zhibo, a little surprised.

Can this guy be sure at a glance whether he is alive or dead?
Although Reika Yoshii's expression looked stiff at this time, and her wide eyes looked a little horrifying under the shaking firelight, but before a formal autopsy, Conan would not directly confirm the death of a person.

After waiting for a few seconds, Mori Kogoro stood up and announced the results of the autopsy himself in a deep voice.

"Miss Lihua has died, and the time of death is about."

Qin Zhibo didn't listen to Mori Kogoro's autopsy results because Qin Zhibo had his own corpse investigation results.

【Investigation√】

[Name of the deceased: Reika Sii]

[Death time: about 10 minutes]

[Cause of death: broken neck]

[The investigation of the corpse is completed, congratulations on gaining social skills (venomous tongue)]

Social Skill (Poisonous Tongue): Social Skill (Poisonous Tongue) refers to your Poisonous Tongue ability, improving this skill will improve your ability to sarcasm others.

Rating: 1
Proficiency: 100/1000
(This is a very dangerous ability, once used improperly, there may be a strong backlash!

Therefore, this skill provides a status switch)
Is a poisonous tongue considered a social skill?
Can serious people use poisonous tongue as a social skill?
Qin Zhibo couldn't help but want to complain.

However, Qin Zhibo was not surprised to have obtained such a skill from Lihua Sijing.

For a good-for-nothing young lady like Reika Yotsui, the best thing she has done since she was a child should be eating, drinking and having fun. You don't have to have too much fantasy about the skills you can get from her.

It's just that this venomous tongue, if used improperly, can actually turn back against me?

What kind of backlash method?

Qin Zhibo doesn't know that there is a scientific law in this world, that is, people who are venomous have a dead face.

And a person with a face of death may be able to save his life at ordinary times, but once he encounters a god of death, he will die.
But since the system provides a skill status switch, Qin Zhibo naturally turned off this abnormal social skill.

[Social Skill (Poisonous Tongue): OFF]

After the investigation of the corpse was completed, a series of new task prompts appeared in Qin Zhibo's system.

[Congratulations on completing the side mission]

[Mission settlement rating: B]

[Get 300 general skill proficiency]

【Get 120 Social Credit】

[Rating reward: 120 general skill proficiency]

Once Takashi was caught, the system had completed the side mission of the Nikaido drowning case.

But then, a new task appeared.

Side task: find out the murderer of this case
Task requirements: time limit 1 hour
Task reward: 300 general skill proficiency, 150 social credit
Qin Zhibo knew that the case of this side mission was to find out the murderer who killed Lihua Sijing.

And now that Takashi Ichie has been arrested, Lihua Sii's side mission has not been completed yet, which means that
Takashi Ichie was not the murderer who killed Reika Yotsui.

At this time, Qin Zhibo saw a new investigation point at the door.

In the narrow bathroom, Mifune grabbed Kazue Takashi's collar angrily, and the ponytail on the back of his head also swayed.

"Didn't you say Miss Lihua is still alive?"

"How is this going!"

Takaya Ichiji stared at the edge of the bathtub in surprise, and shouted, "This is impossible!"

"According to my estimate, she should be alive now!"

Estimated time?

In Ichitaka's words, Conan caught the key words.

After a short thought, Conan's eyes suddenly widened, and he turned his gaze to the shower head sunken at the bottom of the bathtub.

Conan ran over quickly and pulled the shower out from the bottom of the bathtub. The water sprayed from the shower splashed on the water surface of the bathtub and made a splashing sound.

However, Mori Kogoro rarely caught Conan who was "disturbing" at the murder scene this time, because he is now busy announcing the results of his reasoning.

"I've figured it all out."

"Miss Lihua Sii was kidnapped here and drowned!"

This kind of reasoning that ordinary people can see at a glance, only Mori Kogoro can shamelessly pretend to reason it out, and then announce it brazenly.

But as soon as Mori Kogoro finished speaking, Conan, the "Maori reasoning machine", spoke up.

"But Miss Lihua's body is fixed in the bathtub, and the water surface of the bathtub is just up to her shoulders. The water should not be enough to drown Miss Lihua."

"Also, the shower in the bathtub is turned on."

After Conan's reminder, Mori Kogoro's extremely unstable brain moved in a smart direction.

Mori Kogoro held his chin in one hand, and muttered: "I see."

"Ichie Takashi, you kidnapped Miss Lihua first, then tied her here with tape, and used a shower to keep the water level rising."

"As long as the water reaches a certain level, Miss Lihua will be drowned."

"At that time, as long as you are with all of us, you will have sufficient proof of absence!"

Yizhilong's head drooped weakly up and down twice, as a nod, but then he raised his head and shouted: "So I didn't kill Miss Lihua!"

"I've calculated the time before this bathtub will be filled with water. It won't be until after five o'clock that there will be enough water to drown people!"

"It's only less than one o'clock!"

After hearing Takashi's words, Kogoro Mori raised his chin again and fell into deep thought.

Conan looked around, but found that there seemed to be fewer people in the dark and small bathroom.

The people whose names start with one, three, five, and seven are still there, but the one with the surname "six" is gone.

And there is Qin Zhibo!
"Mr. Liutian and Uncle Qin?" Conan hurriedly asked the people around him.

Mao Lilan provided witness information.

"Mr. Qin went out just now."

"Mr. Muta's words."

"Mr. Muta seems to have been away since the power outage was restored just now, right?"
