Conan's grammatical investigator

Chapter 454 The Smell of Dead Fish

Hearing about the "Mermaid's Tomb" from Heijiang Naoko just now, Qin Zhibo was a little moved, and wanted to try to find out where the Mermaid's Tomb was.

It's not that he really wants to dig open the mermaid's grave, but Qin Zhibo thinks that place can be the key clue to solve the case.

From the current point of view, Monshe Saori and Ebina Sumi both believe in the existence of mermaids, which is not difficult to see from their various behaviors.

Ebina Sumi has been killed, but the whereabouts of Monshe Saori is still unknown.

If Saori was afraid to hide because she lost the "Dugong Arrow", then according to her logic, she would definitely try her best to find the mermaid's grave and use the "mermaid" bones to prolong her life.

This idea is exactly the same as the tourists who stole the bones of the "mermaid" the year before last.

If that's the case, if you find the mermaid's grave, you might be able to find Saori, the door assistant.

Under the thin moonlight, Qin Zhibo walked up the river in the forest.

When he reached almost the center of the forest, Qin Zhibo put on the magic power extractor and cast the object-finding spell under the moonlight.

The object-finding spell can search for objects within a certain range that are similar to the image imagined in the brain.

For example, if you imagine Conan's face, you will find Conan nearby.

But this method is not easy for Kudo Shinichi. When Conan changed back to Kudo Shinichi last time, Qin Zhibo used the object-finding spell, and even vaguely felt that there were more than one "Kudou Shinichi".

The inspirations coming from all directions in the southeast and northwest seem to be telling "I am Kudo Shinichi" and "I am Kudo Shinichi".
This shows that Kudo Shinichi's face is too common, at least Kuroba Kaito is one of Qin Zhibo's acquaintances.

Back to the present, Qin Zhibo felt that since it was the mermaid's tomb, at least a tombstone would be erected.

He first imagined a square stele in his brain, and adjusted the scope of the object-finding spell to the entire forest.

After a while, there was no inspiration, indicating that there might not be a square stone tablet in this forest.

The reason why it is only possible, not absolute, is because the object-finding spell is not a real carpet search.

This incantation is just to elevate a kind of inspiration that ordinary people call "intuition" to the extreme, so that people can perceive a certain direction.

In other words, before actually finding it, this kind of object-finding spell only provides a superimposed state of "existence" or "non-existence", and the result can only be finally determined when the person arrives at that place.

It's a Schrödinger's object-finding spell.

But even so, Qin Zhibo still found many lost cats by using Schrödinger's object-finding spell.

It seems that Schrödinger did have a relationship with cats.
Temporarily excluding the square stele, Qin Zhibo adjusted the imaginary target in his brain to a round stone.

Compared with square steles, round stones are more concealed, and they are more likely to be used.

This time, Qin Zhibo sensed a certain direction.

Feeling secretly happy, Qin Zhibo hurried towards Schrödinger's direction.

At the foot of the mountain, although the ceremony was interrupted because of the appearance of the corpse, the "Dugong Arrow" was still to be fired.

Junhui Shimabukuro gave two of them to Toyama Kazuha and Kuroe Naoko. Just when Hattori Heiji and Conan thought that Ebina Sumi who had won the prize could no longer claim the prize, Saori's father took the prize The number plate appeared.

This kind of activity has always only recorded the number plate and not the winner, so the father of the door association also successfully redeemed a "Dugong Arrow".

Seeing the father of the door association leaving smelling of alcohol, even Kogoro Mori, who is an alcoholic, felt a little disgusted. He felt that he would not be able to find any useful clues if he asked him, so it is better not to make fun of yourself.

So Conan suggested that everyone go to Shimabukuro Junhui's house to meet the longevity woman.

After all, Toyama and Ye were one of the winners, Shimabukuro Junhui had no reason to refuse, and readily agreed.

But just when everyone was about to follow Shimabukuro Junhui to leave the Mermaid Falls, Mao Lilan stopped at the spot and said worriedly: "Mr. Qin doesn't know where he went, will something happen to him?"

Hearing Mao Lilan's worry, Mori Kogoro waved his hands nonchalantly, "He's not a child, he knows exactly what he's doing, it's no reason why you worry about him."

"Maybe he is having diarrhea in some grass now, and he will catch up after everything is done."

Mao Lilan with half-moon eyes: That's you!
Compared with Mori Kogoro's open-minded + teasing attitude, Hattori Heiji and Conan were a little worried.

But after thinking about it, Qin Zhibo was still with everyone during the autopsy on the mountain just now, which means that he disappeared on the way down the mountain.

This reminded Conan that in the bandage monster case, Qin Zhibo took everyone down the mountain together, and they disappeared halfway down the mountain.

It was later learned from Police Officer Mu Mu that Qin Zhibo actually went back to the mountains to catch the escaped bandage man.

In the same way, Qin Zhibo should also disappear on his own initiative this time for the purpose of investigating the case.

As a result, Conan was still a little excited.

Because this time I and Qin Zhibo took completely different investigation routes, one on the mountain and the other on the bottom of the mountain, so there is no suspicion of plagiarizing the "correct answer" at all.

There are two ways to solve the case, it depends on who can find the only truth.

In Mermaid Forest, Qin Zhibo walked very quickly with his night vision device.

Not long after, his location on the electronic map showed that he was at the edge of the forest, next to a river valley.

Before seeing the stele, Qin Zhibo smelled a faint fragrance.

This kind of fragrance is not natural fragrance, but the artificial fragrance used by Shanggong.

Qin Zhibo released the yellow-green night vision device, and saw a faint red light in the darkness.

Taking out the nuclear lighter and walking forward, an oval stone tablet placed on the stone platform broke into the dancing flames.

Qin Zhibo bent down to check, and found that there was no inscription on the oval stone tablet, but a stick of incense lying on the stone platform was very telling.

Only one-third of the incense stick was burned, and from the analysis of time, the incense was lit five minutes ago.

The person who lit the incense is likely still nearby!
Qin Zhibo's heart trembled, he turned on the night vision device calmly, and kept looking around.

Suddenly, Qin Zhibo smelled an unconcealable stench amidst the somewhat inferior sandalwood fragrance.

It's a sickening, fishy stench, exhaled by dead fish that wash up on the beach after undergoing various rotting reactions.

It's just that the object emitting this foul smell is obviously much larger than a fish, otherwise Qin Zhibo wouldn't have smelled such a strong smell without seeing any fish.

Qin Zhibo twitched his nose, stood up slowly, and turned his head to the direction with the strongest smell.

disturbing noise--

At this moment, something in the grass made a slight movement, and then quickly ran towards the depths of the forest.
