Conan's grammatical investigator

Chapter 890 The Double Mystery of the Full Moon Night ([-])
When Qin Zhibo saw the pop-up task reminder, he was surprised at the first moment, since he was not at the scene of the murder...

But if you think about it carefully, this task trigger mechanism may not have a strong binding relationship with whether you are on the scene, but depends on whether you have the necessary conditions to solve the case.

If Qin Zhibo didn't know about a case, it would be impossible to solve it.

Or there are only a few clues in a case, and other clues are completely impossible to obtain, and the case cannot be solved.

In short, the cases triggered by the system have always been those that Qin Zhibo has the ability to complete, and he will not deliberately propose an impossible task to force others to do so.

That is to say, is there a way for me to solve this case without being on the ghost ship?

This is quite a challenge for Qin Zhibo, because he can only listen to the information of Minase Harumi, and cannot investigate with his own eyes, which can be regarded as an epic weakening of himself.

Although the [Guard Totem] used for surveillance is hung on the image of the King in Yellow, the straight-line distance from the ghost ship sailing in the Pacific Ocean has already exceeded 5 kilometers, and the Guard Totem has also lost its effect.

Fortunately, Minase Harumi also has the advantage of being a spirit body, and can fly through walls and fly up and down at will to conduct investigations.

And the information she saw in the toilet just now is also very intriguing.

……

At this time, the elimination of Mori Kogoro on the ghost ship continued, but was refuted by the crew.

"Since this demon card was prepared by the staff, it is not a problem to prepare a few cards."

A staff member wearing glasses quickly shook his head and explained: "No, those Tarot cards were all created by Mr. Fupu in order to prevent people from using them indiscriminately. It is impossible for our staff to prepare these cards in advance, such as the ones used last year. It's just poker..."

Another staff member also echoed, "Before he asked the question, several guests came to the deck first, because they said they wanted to see the sea, but because the light was too dark, I don't know which guests they were. "

Mori Kogoro shed a drop of sweat in embarrassment, and he could only say that it perfectly confirmed the comment Belmode gave him in the letter - an incompetent detective.

Ms. Medusa began to make a more rational analysis, "In this case, the murderer is very likely to be one of the seven of us who got the devil card."

Under the suggestion of Ms. Medusa, the suspects were narrowed down to seven people, that is, the original seven demon comrades.

Everyone returned to the bottom of the cabin, under the watchful eyes of countless guests and staff, the seven people who got the devil card showed their Tarot cards respectively.

However, everyone's demon cards have been taken out, only the mummy is rummaging in his pocket, and he can't find his own card no matter what.

"Ah?"

"No, it should be here..."

The mummy rummaged through his pockets and trouser pockets, but he couldn't find his demon card anyway, so he could only infer that the card might have fallen somewhere.

But Mori Kogoro, who has always been the most particular about evidence, certainly would not listen to his words, and said bluntly: "You don't mean to pierce your own tarot card with an arrow on purpose, so that you can get rid of the suspicion of murder?"

"But you don't know that the devil card made by Mr. Fupu is the only seven cards in this world?"

"Don't talk nonsense, of course I know about it! Because I was originally a staff member of the movie!"

Seeing that the matter could not be concealed anymore, the mummy would go to jail if she concealed it any more, so she confessed quickly.

He is the staff member that Fukuura placed among the guests to evaluate their acting skills. In addition, most of the mummies at the banquet today are film staff.

Another two pink-haired mummy and a chunky mummy stood up and nodded, corroborating the mummy's statement.

In order to achieve the effect of the party game, the three of them not only had to observe the acting skills of the guests, but Fukuura also did the facial makeup himself, and also had to do one thing Fukuura stipulated.

Mummies in the demon group must drink a specific cocktail.

Pink-haired mummies must always wear red hair on top of their heads.

Chunky mummies must eat dishes made of chicken.

……

On the other side, Qin Zhibo was sitting in the driver's seat, listening to the investigation on the ghost ship while driving.

Although Mori Kogoro is not good at reasoning, he has been a policeman after all, so routine questioning is still no problem.

Just based on the clues obtained from the inquiry, he can often deduce a wrong result that is not the answer.

This is also a kind of ability.

As for the situation of the case, Qin Zhibo also knew about it.

The mummy's demon card was not on him, and the deceased happened to have a demon card pierced by an arrow. Minase Harumen just witnessed the werewolf stealing his demon card while the mummy was in a coma.

The murderer was undoubtedly a werewolf, and he wanted to put the blame on the mummy in this way.

It's just that Minase Harumeng's nonsense can't be used as testimony, because she is a ghost to see these things. Normal people have no reason to see things in the toilet cubicle.

Unless it's the freak principal sticking his head out of the toilet partition.

Knowing the identity of the murderer, now there is no doubt that all that remains is to find evidence.

If you are at the scene by yourself, you can go around and look around, and if you find the investigation point, you may find evidence, but this method is not feasible now.

Now he can only deduce where the evidence might be on his own, and then ask Minase Harumi to prove it.

Qin Zhibo was thinking about it while driving, and finally decided to let Minase Harumi go to the mast to have a look.

"If I'm not mistaken, there's a chicken in there."

Under Qin Zhibo's command, Minase Harumi went out of his body again, passed through the thick deck, flew to the top of the mast, and quickly flew back into the body of "Qin Jibo".

"As you said, what a beautiful big cock!"

"Snow white and snow white~"

Minase Harumo was floating on the mast, and indeed saw a big white-haired and red-crested rooster tied to the watchtower.

Due to the angle, people on the deck couldn't see it, but Brother Ji was indeed here all the time, watching the ghost captain's arrow fall.

There is no doubt that the chicken will be sent to the end.

Qin Zhibo smiled slightly, as expected.

In fact, after listening to the introduction of the three mummy staff, he probably understood the mystery of Captain Ghost.

The three were asked to do specific behaviors, presumably to mislead the guests.

Since they want to mislead, the actions of these three people must be able to reverse the derivation of the same reminder.

Red hair on the top of the head, eating chicken dishes, and drinking cocktails, it is easy to think of the word "chicken".

Needless to say about the latter two, the red hair on the top of the head is like a rooster's comb, which is a reminder of the shape.

It's just that Captain Ghost said there's only one "human," and only one of their three mummies is the answer to the party game.

But without personally experiencing the case, Qin Zhibo really couldn't recall what happened on the ship carefully.

You can solve the case just by listening to the sound, and you can catch up with playing "The Sound of Mystery", and it is a hell difficulty version that can only be listened to once.

But since the system triggered the task, there should be a solution.

"Go and take a closer look, is there anything else on the observation deck?"

"If it was the ghost captain who was shot by crossbow arrows, he shouldn't have been shot while standing on the deck..."

The general range of crossbow arrows is 50 meters, and this is the range of flat land.

If it is standing on the deck, the mast of the ghost ship must be at least 30 meters, and the upward shooting arrow must resist gravity and angle at the same time, so it is definitely not shooting from the deck.

The murderer werewolf had to climb to the top of the mast to kill, maybe there would be any evidence left behind.

Qin Zhibo drove past an intersection, and Minase Harumi flew back again.

"There seems to be something shiny on the observation deck, something that looks like broken glass..."

Crumb?

Qin Zhibo was deep in thought, and while driving, he deduced in his mind under what circumstances the werewolf might come into contact with broken glass.

The werewolf switched his identity to the mummy in the toilet. The purpose should be to help him create an alibi, and he took the opportunity to kill people on the mast on the deck.

In this process, it is only possible to step on something and accidentally bring it to the deck.

glass shards...

Suddenly, Qin Zhibo thought that if the mummy ran out of the toilet and accidentally looked in the mirror after passing the bathroom, he might find that he was wearing a werewolf mask on his head.

In this case, the mirror must not exist.

"Yang Meng, take a look at the mirrors in the bathroom, are they all broken?"

"Yang Meng received it."

This time the waiting time was shorter, and Yang Meng flew back after a while, and told him that it was indeed the case, and that none of the mirrors in the toilet were spared, and they were all broken.

Qin Zhibo smiled slightly, if this is the case, the case can basically be cleared up.

"Yang Meng, go to the deck, let's solve the case!"

"Wow! Uncle, you are my god!"

Screaming, Harumo Minase controlled the King in Yellow and walked slowly towards the deck.

This scene was witnessed by Hattori Heiji, an invisible man who had just returned from investigating the case in the toilet.

For the case, he already has some clues, but he still needs to have conclusive evidence.

I just checked the latrine pit and found no useful evidence. I was about to go to the deck to have a look, but I happened to see the king in yellow walking towards the deck.

Ok?
What is this man up to?
Hattori remembered that Conan asked him to pay attention to the king in yellow, and quickly followed behind.

The obvious "maliciousness" delivered by Hattori was once again captured by Minase Harumi's super power.

Stopping the body of "Qin Jibo" on the steps, Minase Harumi pointed his head backwards and looked at the invisible man behind.

"Uncle, that invisible man has followed again."

Qin Zhibo thought for a second, and replied decisively, "It's okay, let him follow."

Just like that, Hattori who followed behind was worried that his footsteps were too heavy, and the king in yellow clothes who stopped in front heard him, and the king in yellow clothes walked up the steps alone.

Didn't find it?

This man is really weird...

Hattori didn't understand why the other party exuded that weird aura. Obviously, the selection of actors had been forced to end. The king in yellow didn't need to do these small tricks, and he had to climb up the steps slowly.

From Hattori's point of view, the other party's slow and elegant actions are due to the need for performance.

But in fact, Minase Harumi simply failed to control the decoy puppet "Qin Jibo", and it was imperative to slow down his actions.

After the king in yellow climbed onto the deck, he came to the unguarded ghost captain's corpse and picked up the captain's mask that was placed on the ground next to him.

Hattori Heiji was puzzled by this behavior.

But what followed was a great reward for confusing behavior. I saw the king in yellow holding the mask of the ghost captain in his hand, and slowly crawling towards the observation deck of the mast.

Climb, climb, climb, climb—

On the silent deck, Hattori Heiji stood below and raised his head, watching, watching, watching——

……

In Judy's black car, "Haihara Ai" sitting on the co-pilot calmly glanced at Judy next to her.

At this moment, Judy hummed softly while holding the steering wheel, seemingly in a good mood.

As Hattori Heiji's good brother, Conan now very much wants to know the situation on the ghost ship.

Although he knew that a case had occurred, but because he was far away and could not investigate in person, he could only rely on his good brother himself.

He trusted Hattori Heiji's reasoning ability.

It's just that he was a little worried about Hattori Heiji's impulsive character.

If this guy rashly went to confront the "King in Yellow" alone and encountered any danger, he would be in trouble.

It was precisely because he was worried that this kind of thing would happen that Conan asked his mother to follow him on the boat.

But Hattori Heiji hadn't spoken for a long time, and no one else could be heard around him.

Shouldn't it be...

A bad thought flashed in Conan's mind, and he wanted to talk to Hattori Heiji to confirm his safety.

But first, make it clear to Judy who is sitting next to me.

"Hey, I want to ask you something... would you like to hear it?"

Judy turned her head and looked at Hui Yuan Ai. She was startled for a moment, and then she had a wicked smile on her face, "Sure~ little sister Hui Yuan Ai."

Up to now, Conan has almost settled Judy's situation, and he is not afraid, and directly asks: "Can you tell me, are you from the FBI?"

Hearing this, Judy's face was completely shocked.

Because no matter what, she never expected that the little girl in front of her would reveal her old background with one mouth.

And the eyes are so... calm.

Seeing that Judy was in shock for a while, Conan said directly, "You guys from the FBI came to Japan all the way to arrest the 'new doctor', right?"

"Or should I say, the actress Chris Wynyard?"

Conan's words shocked Judy again, her pupils continued to dilate, and she was speechless for a while.

She didn't expect that the "little sister" who Akai Shuichi wanted to take special care of in front of her would know so much secret information.

Even the true face of the "new doctor" is known...

After a few seconds, Judy finally recovered her professionalism, and asked seriously with a stern face.

"who are you?"

At this time, Conan also felt that there was no need to put it on any longer, so he took off the mask-shaped voice changer on his face with one hand, and returned to his original voice.

"My name is Edogawa Conan, and I'm a detective."
