Conan's grammatical investigator

Chapter 355 An Instructive Story
Joker, clown.

Hattori Heiji and Conan rolled their eyes. For some reason, when they heard this name, they felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity in their hearts.

Kanie was puzzled for a long time and asked, "Joker? What is this?"

"Joker is not something, but a person, a criminal planner like Ye Sancai, except that he is much smarter than Ye Sancai."

All the people in the lounge were silent, staring at Qin Zhibo, they seemed to want to hear Qin Zhibo talk about this Joker.

Especially Hattori Heiji and Conan, there is even a curiosity in their eyes.

Qin Zhibo temporarily put down the poker cards in his hand and told the story.

"A certain time Joker planned five robbers to rob a bank. Before the action, these five people got a clear division of labor."

"Three of them drove into the bank from the main entrance, and the other two used ropes to sneak into the roof of the bank from the building next door."

"One of the two people on the roof of the bank, just disarmed the bank's alarm, and the other robber behind shot him dead, then quickly went downstairs and began to crack the bank's vault door."

"As for the three robbers who took hostages in the bank lobby, one of them was killed by a bank clerk with a gun, and the other two killed the bank clerk."

"After the vault door is cracked open, one of the people in the bank hall will kill the robber who cracked the gate from behind, and then move the money out of the bank vault."

"The last two robbers, one of them was killed by a bus driven by an unplanned robber, and the other robber killed the robber who drove the bus and left alone with all the money."

"This is actually before the start of the operation. These robbers were told by Joker that as long as the accomplices around them completed the task at hand, they could be killed directly to reduce the number of spoils."

"In this way, the person who opened the door of the vault killed the person who disarmed the alarm, the person who loaded the money killed the person who opened the door of the vault, the person who drove the bus killed the person who opened the door, took hostages and killed the person who drove the bus, almost all the robbers died At the gunpoint of one's own people."

"Of course, except for the hapless robber who was shot and killed by the bank clerk"

Kanie swallowed for a long time, and asked doubtfully, "Isn't there another robber? Isn't he still alive?"

Qin Zhibo raised his mouth, "Because he is the Joker himself."

When Qin Zhibo's story was finished, everyone showed surprised expressions.

Qin Zhibo continued: "A truly genius criminal planner is fully aware of who he is dealing with."

"Just like Joker, he fully understood the greedy nature of these robbers and used this to make these robbers kill each other."

As he spoke, Qin Zhibo lifted the top card in his hand and put it on the table.

There was an image of a clown on it, that is, the Joker in the playing cards.

"It's always the clown who laughs last"

Everyone in the lounge fell silent, as if everyone was slightly touched by this story.

Taking advantage of this time, Qin Zhibo quietly observed the facial reactions of the "seafood", which can only be said to be intriguing.

The reactions of Isogai Nagisa and Ebina Minoru were relatively normal. Like Mori Ran, they were just normal surprised reactions after hearing this story.

On the contrary, Shijiu Kanie, who was sitting next to him, had some scrutiny in his eyes, and looked at Sadao Jingai who was sitting at the bar.

Sadao Jingi's eyes were also looking at Kanie Shiku, and the eyes of the two collided in the air, and they stared at each other.

Two seconds later, Sadao Jingi looked away first, took out a cigarette from his pocket and smoked silently.

At this moment, Hattori Heiji, who was sitting across from him, couldn't bear it any longer, and asked, "The Joker you're talking about, isn't it a criminal that exists in the real world?"

The question Hattori Heiji asked was also the question Conan wanted to ask.

Because Qin Zhibo's description of the process of robbing the bank was so accurate that he even described the small-probability random event of a bank employee killing a robber.

If you just want to express the greedy character of the robbers, and the core idea of ​​the criminal planners using this to make the robbers kill each other, there is no need to add this plot at all.

All of this seemed as if Qin Zhibo had witnessed the crime with his own eyes.

"Who knows? Maybe it exists."

Qin Zhibo's relaxed tone and ambiguous answers made Hattori Heiji and Conan feel as if they were facing an enemy.

If people like Joker really exist, they must be the enemy of detectives
"The story was good and instructive, but I'm about to leave."

Kanie Shiku stood up from his seat, and Isogai Nagisa and Ebina Minoru also indicated that they were going back to their room to rest.

Only Sadao Jingi was still very energetic, saying that he would continue to stay here to play poker, but he had to go out to the bathroom first.

When there was less than one minute left before midnight, Mori Kogoro returned to the waiting room first.

Mori Kogoro sat silently on the sofa, raising his hand to watch the second hand on the watch gradually move closer to the 12 mark.

Tick, tick, tick.
When the hour hand, minute hand, and second hand coincided at 12 o'clock, Shimaji Samezaki appeared from the stairs at the entrance of the lounge and walked down slowly.

"The time has passed and we can no longer touch this case."

Samezaki Shimaji showed a relieved smile, and said in relief: "But to be honest, I retired two years ago, and I have long been without the qualifications."

Shimaji Samezaki came to the bar, asked the bartender for a glass of beer, took out the cigarette in his hand and was just about to look for a lighter, when Mori Kogoro next to him handed it over.

"It's really hard work for you, team leader."

At this moment, the two calm men communicated with each other for a second.

"Maori! Let's have a drink!"

"Okay! Don't get drunk tonight!"

At this time, Sadao Jingi just returned to the lounge, took a look at the two drinking happily, and continued to play poker with Mori Ran, Qin Zhibo, and Hattori Heiji.

But this harmonious atmosphere didn't last long, and was interrupted by several discordant voices.

pop, pop—

"It's gunfire! It's from the deck."

Mori Kogoro sobered up in a second, and Samezaki Shimaji immediately asked Mori Kogoro to record the time, which happened to be 12:08.

Everyone in the lounge quickly ran to the deck and saw the flag on the mast burning.

On the chair on the side of the ship, there is also an old banknote that was inserted into the back of the wooden chair with a dagger.

"What does it look like written on it?"

Qin Zhibo took out a nuclear lighter to illuminate the banknotes, and only then did everyone see clearly the words "Poseidon, the god of the sea, gave me life again, and my shadow will be resurrected again" written on it.

Qin Zhibo repeated these words without emotion, but Sadao Jingi who was standing behind had a surprised expression, and tremblingly walked towards the railing.

"It turns out that he is still alive, I knew him, him"

"He must be alive!"

When Tadao Jingai turned around tremblingly, there was a sudden explosion on the rear deck, and the gushing flames illuminated his terrified face.
