Conan's grammatical investigator

Chapter 96 When the Crime of the Pseudo-Niang is in Progress (Two Chapters in One)

Kogoro wanted to act cool, but when he saw the female doctor's face, he put away his flattering smile for some reason.

"Yep."

Asai Narumi nodded in bewilderment.

"Okay, I'm just asking."

"It's okay if you don't know."

Qin Zhibo wouldn't point at someone's nose for no reason and say, "Just Tm, your name is Ma Chengshi, right?"

But since the pseudonymous doctor's real name is Aso Shishi, it is very likely that it has something to do with Aso Keiji in the entrustment letter.

It is even possible that he is the client who sent the letter!

However, the entrustment of this task is not to find out the client who sent the letter, but to complete the entrustment on the letter.

Assuming that the murder notice letter was actually written by Aso, then his commission.
Shouldn't you let me help you kill someone?

After leaving the clinic, Qin Zhibo and the Maoli family continued to head towards the public hall.

However, Qin Zhibo and the Maoli family have different goals.

The Mori family is going to ask people who are friends with Keiji Aso.

And Qin Zhibo wanted to ask Keiji Aso's immediate family members who were not alive yet.

Like a son or something.
Before coming to the public hall, Ignore the villagers' protest against the current village head's arbitrarily privileged activities, and directly enter the public hall.

The person who came to receive him was the secretary of the current village head, named Ichiro Hirata.

Mori Kogoro revealed that he was a detective from Tokyo, and Hirata left in a panic.

While waiting on the bench in the corridor of the public hall, the bored Qin Zhibo opened a map in the public hall to see if there were any investigation points.

At the end of the corridor, Qin Zhibo found a large room with only one piano.

Qin Zhibo walked in.

Conan found Qin Zhibo walking in, so he followed.

Mao Lilan found that Conan walked in, so he followed in.

Mori Kogoro saw his daughter walking in, so he followed.

Just like that, everyone started wandering around the piano room.

As for the piano, Qin Zhibo had nothing to do with it. He didn't have the skills to play the piano, so he didn't mess around.

On the other hand, Mao Lilan wanted to flick it a few times because she was eager for skills.

However, at this moment, Secretary Hirata ran over in a panic.

"No, no! Don't touch that piano!"

"That piano belongs to Mr. Aso! It's a cursed piano!"

Regarding Hirata's warning, Mori Kogoro said with disdain: "No way, how can there be curses in this world?"

"It's not just Mr. Aso." Secretary Hirata's face was still tense, "The former village chief Isamu Kameyama also died on this piano!"

"Things happened three years ago." Secretary Hirata lowered his head, lost in memory.

"It was a full moon night. I passed the public hall where no one should be inside, but I heard the sound of a piano coming from inside."

"When I was about to open my mouth to check if anyone was there, the piano sound stopped immediately."

"When I went inside, I found Mr. Kameyama lying on the piano!"

"The cause of death was a heart attack, and Mr. Aso kept playing the Moonlight Sonata in the flames"

While Secretary Hirata was telling the story of cursing the piano vividly, Conan relied on his physical advantage to lift the piano cover while no one was paying attention, and played "Stepping on the Cat".

"This piano is very ordinary"

"Is there no difference at all?"

Conan's behavior scared Secretary Hirata into a cold sweat, and he quickly issued an order to evict the guest

"Anyway, please wait at the entrance before the ceremony is over!"

But when the door of the piano room is closed, a bright investigation point stays quietly under the piano.

Coming out of the public hall, Qin Zhibo and the Maoli family could only wait in the parking lot next to the public hall.

Conan raised his head and told what he had just discovered.

"The piano just now is so strange. It has not been used for several years, but the sound is very normal."

"Has anyone tuned it?"

Conan's words seemed to be unintentional, but he actually wanted to see Qin Zhibo's reaction.

Maybe Qin Zhibo didn't know anything about music and didn't notice it at all?

As a result, after finishing speaking, Qin Zhibo didn't respond to the interference options provided by Conan, and stood in front of him watching the villagers coming in and out of the community hall.

On the contrary, Xiaolan next to her turned pale.

"Could it be the ghost of Mr. Aso who is helping to tune that piano?"

Regarding Xiaolan's conjecture, Conan showed a helpless smile.

"Sister Xiaolan, in this age of science, there are no such things as undead and ghosts."

"Isn't that right, Uncle Maori? Uncle Qin?"

Conan wants to use the words of the two uncles to help Xiaolan get rid of her fear of evil spirits and heretics.

Mori Kogoro nodded casually, "Yeah."

Just when Conan looked expectantly at Qin Zhibo, Qin Zhibo said some obscure words.

"It may or may not exist."

"Man lives on a placid island of ignorance, in a vast and endless black ocean."

"This ocean is boundless and contains endless secrets."

"And perhaps humans shouldn't sail too far, and delve too deep."

After Qin Zhibo finished speaking, a big question mark popped up on the heads of Conan, Mori Ran, and Mori Kogoro at the same time.

This passage.
What do you mean?
Conan tried to understand it, and felt that Qin Zhibo might have compared the earth to the island where human beings live. Does the black ocean refer to the universe?

Is he trying to say that humans should not explore the universe?

As early as decades ago, when the Apollo moon landing program was launched, a minority believed that it was too early for human beings to explore the universe, and it might bring disasters to human civilization.

But I just wanted to ask if there are ghosts in the world. How could this person think so deeply that he even thought of the meaning of human beings exploring the universe?
However, from Qin Zhibo's tone of voice, Conan also heard that he did not seem to be a firm materialist.

as a detective.
How can this work?
Detectives pay attention to speaking with facts and using scientific evidence to judge crimes.

How can one be a good detective if one is not a staunch materialist?

In fact, Qin Zhibo didn't know why he said this sentence suddenly, and he didn't even know where he knew it.

But at this moment, Qin Zhibo didn't care about thinking so much.

Because at the entrance of the public hall, Qin Zhibo saw a familiar person walking in.

It was Naruto Asai in a long black tight dress.

Or let's say it's Masao.
Judging by his attire, he was also going in to attend the ceremony on the third anniversary of the death of the former village chief.

Pseudo-girl + Conan, the conditions have been met.

I'm afraid he's going to kill someone today!
Qin Zhibo turned on the electronic map of the navigator, analyzed the direction, and then walked towards the direction where he could almost sneak into the public hall.

Seeing Qin Zhibo leaving suddenly, Mao Lilan also asked where Qin Zhibo was going.

Qin Zhibo waved his hand and said casually, "I don't think anything will happen today, so I'll go to the hotel to rest first."

"Come on!"

Qin Zhibo's back gradually drifted away, Mori Kogoro curled his lips.

"There is no sense of responsibility."

Mao Lilan explained to Qin Zhibo: "This is originally an entrustment for you, Dad. It is enough for Mr. Qin to help you now."

"He's just here for tourism. If you want someone to continue to help, at least some of the commission fee of 50 yuan should be given to him, right?"

These words immediately made Mori Kogoro speechless, and Conan next to him also looked nervously at Mori Ran's smiling face.

Lan, you shouldn't be.
Conan remembered that Qin Zhibo had saved Mao Lilan's life several times, and recently Mao Lilan's attitude towards Qin Zhibo has always been very enthusiastic.

It's easy for women to develop feelings of affection for someone who has saved them multiple times, especially if the partner is not bad looking.

In addition, the eighth woman in Yuanzi blows wind in Xiaolan's ear from time to time, making Xiaolan forget that Xin has to find another one again and again.

Lan, you won't change your mind, will you?

Don't wait for me!

When I get the medicine to grow bigger after taking it, I will come back to you immediately!
Just as Conan, the jealous king, was thinking wildly, Qin Zhibo had already walked around to the back of the public hall.

The back of the public hall is facing a coast, and there is a back door to enter the public hall.

And this back door is connected to the piano room that he discovered by opening a map during the day.

At this time, the lights in the piano room were turned off, and only a faint moonlight shone near the windows of the piano room.

Qin Zhibo pushed open the back door and walked into the house.

But just as he was about to leave the piano room and sneak into the public hall, Qin Zhibo heard a series of slightly heavy footsteps coming towards him.

In desperation, Qin Zhibo made a tactical roll and hid under the piano.

In the dim piano room, the door was pushed open.

Two pairs of feet broke into Qin Zhibo's field of vision from the bright corridor.

Although there are two pairs of feet, one pair of feet wearing black socks is actually a little floating.

The other pair of feet are black silk with green slippers.

Black silk woman?

Do not!It's a hypocrite!
With the movement of these two pairs of feet, Qin Zhibo, who was lying under the piano, had a sufficient angle to see their identities clearly.

One is Ma Chengshi, a pseudonymous doctor.

The other was a lanky man in a suit.

Under the reflection of the moonlight, there were a few drops of crystal clear things on Asahishi's face.

tears?

This ray of light flashed by, because Asahi had already opened the door and left with his arms around the man in the suit.

Seeing this scene, Qin Zhibo became a little anxious.

Because judging from the fact that the man in the suit had his eyes closed and his body had no resistance, but there was no investigation of the corpse, he was already in a coma.

There is no doubt that he is the target that Aso really wants to kill.

Qin Zhibo got up anxiously to see the follow-up situation, and when he got up, he knocked his head on the piano above his head.

Subconsciously looked up, but accidentally saw an investigation point emitting its own light in the darkness.

【Investigation√】

[This is a hidden compartment under the piano, there may be something shady hidden in it]

Qin Zhibo took out a nuclear lighter, and with the help of the light, he opened the dark compartment and found some white powder on his fingers.

这 是
【Identification √】

【Medicinal ingredient: Diacetylmorphine】

[Chemical formula: C 21H 23NO 5 ]

【Effect: Inhibit breathing, damage the central nervous system.】

【Accuracy rate: 53.9%】

Isn't this the Hai**?
Qin Zhibo didn't have time to think any more, so he quickly locked the secret compartment back and went out through the back door.

On the beach, Aso actually immersed Hideo Kawashima's lower body in the water, holding his upper body with both hands.

Now as long as he lets go, Hideo Kawashima will face down in the water.

Applying a little more force is enough to drown it.

only.
Aso really looked up at the bright full moon in the night sky. Even though his face was turned upside down by 45°, tears still couldn't stop streaming down his face.

At this moment, there are two voices of angel and demon whispering in his ear at the same time.

Devil: Kill him, and you can avenge your family!

Angel: No!If you kill him, you will become a murderer, so you should report their drug deal to the police!

Devil: Then the punishment is too light, and you will be released in a few years, and they will still make trouble for you.

Devil: Imagine a father, mother, sister struggling in the flames, they are all innocent!
Devil: Who caused your family to be ruined!That's them!The only way to get rid of them is to kill them!
The demon's voice became louder and louder, and even the sound of waves in reality could be extinguished.

Now Asahi really only has one voice in his head.

kill!kill!kill!
In this deafening "voice", the strength on Ma Chengshi's fingers became more and more relaxed.

However, just when Hideo Kawashima's face was about to sink into the water, a stronger voice shouted out.

"Hey!"

"If you don't want to do it, don't force yourself!"

Asahi's body trembled in shock, and he quickly turned his head to the direction of the sound.

I saw a man in a brown windbreaker standing not far behind him. His mixed-race face was shining brightly under the moonlight. His tall figure was in stark contrast to his slender self.

This person was the detective who came to ask him for directions during the day——

Qin Zhibo!
The frightened Aso took a step back, almost unable to stand still.

"How, how did you know?"

Shocked and terrified, Asahi now couldn't even speak clearly, and his questions didn't make sense.

But Qin Zhibo still explained the reason why he came here with reason.

"If you're asking me how I knew you were a man, it should have been when we first met."

"At that time, I invited you to shake hands. Due to my height advantage, I could vaguely see your Adam's apple hidden under your stand-up sweater."

"However, your Adam's apple is very small. At that time, I was not sure. After all, I couldn't stretch my head to look inside. It would be too rude to do so."

"Adam's apple is not easy to hide as a male's secondary sex characteristic, so I guess you can only wear clothes with a stand-up collar to cover it up."

"And when I saw you at the gate of the public hall for the second time and found that you were wearing a stand collar again, I was almost sure."

Qin Zhibo's explanation really shocked Ma Cheng.

In the three years since I hid my gender on the island, no one has ever doubted me because I wear clothes with stand-up collars regardless of spring, summer, autumn and winter.

This detective can use this as a basis to determine his gender after meeting him in one day
After being shocked, Asahi really felt that this was a kind of magical realism-like nonsense.

But in reality, the truth is even more bullshit than that.
