Conan's grammatical investigator

Chapter 499 Heroes See the Same Thing

The sudden appearance of side missions seems to indicate that the real murderer of the case has not been captured.

But in the case files, Qin Zhibo saw ample witness and physical evidence.

Regin Ledoux, judging by his religious beliefs, was a member of the Brotherhood of the Yellow Seal, in line with the faith of the deceased.

The evidence of the person who killed the child and made the drug is also sufficient, but he is not the murderer?

Qin Zhibo frowned, skipped to the beginning of the case file, and read every page again.

Looking back this time, Qin Zhibo saw the investigation points on the computer screen.

The first point of investigation was the disappearance of the little girl Fontenot five years ago. Other little girls claimed that they were chased into the woods by the "green-eared spaghetti monster".

A photo of the oral portrait of the little girl was preserved in the dossier, and the investigation point was precisely on this photo.

【Investigation√】

[The portrait of the spaghetti monster with green ears, no one will use this portrait to issue a wanted warrant, but the "green ears" in it are thought-provoking]

This is an extremely abstract pencil drawing, but only the ears are painted green with crayons.

Qin Zhibo, who is familiar with the investigation mechanism, knew that this should imply that one of the characteristics of the murderer is "green ears".

Qin Zhibo continued to look down, and saw a new investigation point on another photo.

This is a photo of the church that Dora Lan attended after it burned down. There is a mural of "The Man with Antlers" painted on the wall.

【Investigation√】

[The highest point of the mural of the person wearing antlers exceeds 2 meters]

The investigation description was very concise, but Qin Zhibo immediately figured out what was wrong with the following description.

The pastor of the church said that the mural may have been painted by the children of the congregation, but in fact the height of this painting is more than 2 meters, and children must at least step on a ladder to draw it.

At least a very tall adult can draw without the aid of tools.

And the man whom the church members described as carrying Dora Landon Grove was tall, smooth-jawed, and scarred.

The last investigation point is at the very end of the file. As the murderer of this case, the photo of Regin Ledoux is hung on the file.

【Investigation√】

【This is a photo】

The investigation explanation is simpler, but Qin Zhibo's brain has adapted to the rhythm of reasoning brought about by this investigation point, and he immediately realized the meaning.

Regin Ledoux has no scar on his chin.

And when Regin Ledoux was arrested for other crimes before, in the photos taken by the police of the criminal, Regin Ledoux's height corresponds to the height caliper next to it is 175cm.

This kind of height can never be called "tall" in the United States, and it is almost the same in Japan.
This also means that Regin Ledoux was not the one who took Dora Lan away, and most likely he was not the direct murderer of Dora Lan.

Not the direct murderer, but possibly an indirect murderer.

When killing Dora Lan, the real murderer deliberately portrayed a certain ritual scene. This is a typical religious murder case, and the real murderer is likely to be a member of the Yellow Seal Brotherhood.

Now, choose to come to Qin Zhibo's side.

My main and side quests are all related to this murderer. If I can catch him, at least 6000 general skill proficiency can be credited.

How could such a huge reward not be tempted?
But Mr. Clock asked himself to rush to Arkham Town as soon as possible, and he had already delayed half a day today.

Qin Zhibo: "."

After much thought, Qin Zhibo decided to let Mr. Clock stay in Arkham for two more days.

Anyway, if something dangerous happens, it can still fly away
It is definitely not so convenient to investigate cases in the United States with my current identity.

Although there are also examples of detectives working on cases here, it must be supported by familiar police officers to allow this behavior.

The time for side quests is only 48 hours, so it's best to use existing resources in this tight time frame.

Since Kudo Yusaku can get the file records of the case, he must have a good network of police officers in the local area.

In the study, Yusaku Kudo is conceiving a new novel.

The "Night Baron" series of novels, which have been created for many years, created the world-renowned villain image of "Night Baron", which made Yusaku Kudo both happy and distressed.

The trouble is that he originally didn't want a ruthless murderer to be so respected, which is contrary to his own values.

But the character design of the Baron of the Night is really handsome, and the market response is unprecedentedly strong.

Yusaku Kudo could only choose to compromise, and added some grand theft behavior to Baron of the Night, giving the character a sense of mystery that is both good and evil.

Now, Kudo Yusaku feels that it is time for him to break through himself and create some characters who are completely dominated by a sense of justice.

Seeing Qin Zhibo's reasoning ability this afternoon, Kudo Yusaku suddenly got inspiration, thinking that he might be able to write a novel about FBI investigators?

But will it be unacceptable to readers to write such a completely righteous character by myself?

If we cross the border a little bit and change to writing a movie script, will the reader's acceptance be better?

Even a great writer like Kudo Yusaku will worry about whether his new work will hit the street.

And at this moment, there was a knock on the door.

"Please come in."

Yusaku Kudo looked at the door, and it was Qin Zhibo who walked in with his laptop.

"Mr. Qin, don't rush to return the laptop."

Kudo Yusaku thought that Qin Zhibo was here to return the computer, but Qin Zhibo showed the 95-year case file records opened on the computer in front of Kudo Yusaku.

这 是
Seeing this dossier record, Yusaku Kudo narrowed his eyes slightly, and couldn't help but think in his heart.

This case file record was borrowed not long ago from the local police chief in Oklahoma for the purpose of studying novel materials, and the police chief happened to be his book fan.

But when flipping through the file, Yusaku Kudo noticed something was wrong inside.

It’s just that Kudo Shinichi was downsized later, and Kudo Yusaku was busy going back to Japan to see his son, and after returning to the United States, he was urged by many publishing houses, so he forgot about it.

He showed me this, isn't it
"Sorry, this dossier is on the desktop, so I just opened it and read it"

Qin Zhibo first apologized, and Kudo Yusaku shook his head to express his understanding.

After all, he is a former FBI, and it is just a professional habit to check the case files of police all over the United States.

"About this dossier, what do Mr. Qin think?"

Qin Zhibo looked at Kudo Yusaku's calm eyes and knew that he was also aware of some doubts in the dossier.

In that case
Qin Zhibo told the three doubts he found one by one, and after listening, Kudo Yusaku nodded in approval, and the color of approval in his eyes was undisguised.

"Mr. Qin, you are indeed the most suitable candidate."

　With the ability of the protagonist and Kudo Yusaku, it is really a dimensionality reduction blow in "True Detective"...
