Conan's grammatical investigator

Chapter 921 The Not Beautiful Misunderstanding

Hearing his daughter's familiar scream, Mori Kogoro woke up from the drunkenness for a second, and ran to the source of the sound with Conan.

Qin Zhibo ran ahead, and the three of them quickly arrived at room 205 on the second floor.

"Could it be that bastard... bastard!"

Mori Kogoro yelled while running, thinking that the person who called the duck was doing something wrong to Mao Lilan.

When they ran to 205, everyone saw Mao Lilan trembling and pointing to the bathroom.

"he……"

I saw the duck plunged his head into the hot water in the bathtub, closed his eyes forever, and the light of the investigation point radiated from his head.

Qin Zhibo and Mori Kogoro immediately went in for an autopsy, and they were the first to draw a conclusion: Mao Lilan did not kick him to death in excitement.

On Yaxia's neck, there is a thin strangulation mark around the front of the neck, and it is obvious that he was strangled.

Qin Zhibo walked to the side of the corpse and began to investigate.

[Corpse investigation √]

[Name of the deceased: Yaxia Baobilu]

[Death time: 25 minute ago]

[Cause of death: strangled]

[The investigation of the corpse is completed, and the character skill has been obtained: social skills (speaking skills)]

[Repeatedly acquired skills, converted into 1000 skill proficiency for this skill]

With the addition of the 1000 proficiency, Qin Zhibo's speaking skill just happened to be upgraded to level 4.

Qin Zhibo has never specially trained this skill, but usually as long as he gets feedback on the questions he asks, he can gain proficiency.

Often the more important the answer to the question, the higher the improved proficiency.

With the completion of the investigation of the corpse, the mission prompt of the case also popped up.

-

Side task: find out the murderer of this case
Task requirements: time limit 1 hour
Task reward: 600 general skill proficiency, 150 social credit
-

Accepting the system task by default, Qin Zhibo stared at the light spots on the corpse and began to investigate.

First of all, there is the most eye-catching investigation point on the lower neck of the duck.

【Investigation√】

[This is a strangle mark that is not on the Yoshikawa line]

The investigation explanation is very simple, and it reminded Qin Zhibo of the Yoshikawa line he had encountered in previous cases.

The "Yoshikawa line" is the scratch marks left on the neck by the victim's hands subconsciously struggling when he was strangled by the murderer.

On Yaxia's neck, there really wasn't any scratch marks, just a thin dry line.

However, the results of the corpse investigation showed that the cause of death was strangulation, so it could only be that Yaxia was strangled to death when he was unable to resist.

On this basis, Qin Zhibo found a second investigation point, on the back of Yaxia's head, very close to the one on the neck.

【Investigation√】

[The back of the head was hit with a blunt instrument, and the scalp was broken]

Qin Zhibo took a closer look, and he could see that there were indeed spots of blood oozing between the hair roots.

If you contact the investigation point just now, Yaxia should have been hit hard on the brain, knocked out, and then strangled to death.

Except for these two investigation points, Qin Zhibo looked around and found that the third investigation point was being held by Conan.

At the same time, Conan didn't rush forward to do the autopsy immediately, but took advantage of his height to find a phone on the floor of the bathroom.

Conan picked up the phone with a handkerchief and fiddled with it immediately.

Soon, he found some clues.

On the upper page of the phone, there was a selfie of a barley-style woman tightening the lower neck of a duck with some kind of thin thread.

Unfortunately, only the barley woman's chin and the tops of the two hemispheres are in the photo.

And on the chest of the woman, there is a very obvious mole.

Conan's face was startled, and he remembered that Kinukawa Kazuki had said in the afternoon that his mother had a mole on her chest.

Just when Conan was thinking about how to tell this matter without hurting Kinukawa Kazuki, a voice faintly rang in his ears.

"Hey, when did you learn how to identify yellow pictures?"

"what!"

Conan was startled, and almost lost his grip on the phone, but fortunately, Qin Zhibo snatched it.

Seeing the photo above, Qin Zhibo realized that his reasoning just now was wrong.

In the photo, Yaxia opened his eyes when he was strangled, which means that he was not unconscious, but he was holding the camera in his hand to take a selfie, and there was no time to resist.

Ordinary people just encounter a car accident, take a photo and send it to Moments after being hit, but the duck is that the rope is strangled around the neck, so they have to take a photo first.

You are worthy of being a reporter, really dedicated!

Under Yaxia's professionalism, the photo is also rare. The murderer has obvious female features, and is not small, and there is a mole on it.

【Investigation√】

[The murderer is a woman, but what is worth noting is the thread on her neck? 】

Qin Zhibo carefully looked at the rope wrapped around the lower neck of the duck. It was indeed very thin, even like some kind of silk or thread.

This reminded Qin Zhibo of the assassin Tachibana Maya's arbitrarily used weapon, which was iron wire. His record was to strangle Mori Kogoro's neck with the wire and hang him up, but there was not even a strangle mark left on Mori Kogoro's neck.

Of course, Kogoro Mori's neck is an exception, and most people can be strangled to death with wire.

If the murder weapon is a relatively tough silk thread, such as iron wire or fishing line, the murderer will definitely have calluses on his hands, or his hands will also be scratched by the silk thread.

Thinking of this, Qin Zhibo felt that there was no need to procrastinate, so he quickly returned the phone to Conan and left the bathroom in a hurry.

And Conan stared at Qin Zhibo who was leaving, not knowing what he was going to do, he hesitated in his heart whether he should follow.

If you keep up, it violates the previous competition principle of fair competition and not looking at the answer in advance.

If you don't follow along, I'm really curious what clues Qin Zhibo can deduce from this photo.

Forget it, it's fair competition...

Conan gave up the idea of ​​following Qin Zhibo.

At this time, Mao Lilan, who had returned from reporting to the police, just shifted his attention from the corpse to Conan's hand, and happened to see the unsuitable picture on the phone.

"Conan!"

"What are you looking at!"

Conan, who came back to his senses, looked at the sullen Mao Lilan, and then at the big and white photo in his hand, and his face immediately flushed with embarrassment.

"Sister Xiaolan, it's not what you think..."

"This, this is just a photo taken before the murderer died!"

……

On the other side, Qin Zhibo left room 205.

He first went to the proprietress who came to the hotel, and revealed to her that he was a detective, and asked her to gather all the female employees in the hotel.

Soon, a total of 7 female employees came over, including the proprietress herself, who usually work as waitresses.

Although the incident in the hotel has not been made public, after all, the murder occurred in their own hotel, and everyone was mentally prepared, with a little uneasiness on their faces.

"Detective Qin, these are all the female employees in our store. Do you have anything to do with us?"

Qin Zhibo introduced: "I think everyone should know that a murder happened in the hotel."

"As for the specific details of the case, I can't say it yet, but I need to look at the palms of all of you, maybe it can help me deduce who the murderer is..."

Now Qin Zhibo's social credit is 9100, and the name of a detective is very useful. Sometimes there is no need to conduct private investigations, and public investigations are enough.

When all the female employees heard this, their faces became more disturbed and they looked at each other.

The proprietress also hurried forward, "Excuse me... is the murderer among us?"

Qin Zhibo nodded firmly, "Yes, the murderer is among you."

"Ah? This..." The girls were in an uproar.

In order to prevent the discussion from turning into a large-scale discussion, Qin Zhibo immediately said: "If you want to eliminate the suspicion on you as soon as possible, just show me the palm of your hand."

Qin Zhibo didn't give these women time to discuss, and started with the proprietress closest to him.

The proprietress cautiously stretched out her hands, but was corrected by Qin Zhibo.

"Palm up."

The proprietress's palm was a bit fleshy and callused, but it was located on the belly of the finger and the middle finger of the right hand.

The position where the wire is held should be the joints of several fingers, but there are no calluses or strangle marks on these places of the proprietress.

Although the proprietress was safe for the time being, Qin Zhibo didn't express his opinion, but continued to look at the palm of the next person.

One, two, three...

After seeing four people in a row, they were all different from the hands of the murderer Qin Zhibo imagined, and none of these people had calluses or strangle marks.

However, Qin Zhibo didn't express his opinion, just nodded his head and skipped over.

When it was the turn of Sanzhi Chaoxiang with big braids, Qin Zhibo stopped.

Sanzhi Chaoxiang might be because she had some unpleasantness with Qin Zhibo before, and her face was not convinced, but she had to obediently stretch out her hand to show Qin Zhibo to check.

Sanzhi Asaka's palms are different from those of other female employees. Her palms have a lot of calluses. Although they are not thick, they do affect the appearance.

In addition, on the first knuckles of the middle finger and index finger of her right hand, the skin color is a little burnt yellow, which is obviously different from other parts.

This woman smokes.

Qin Zhibo immediately made a judgment in his mind, because those two scorched parts were the proof that she had been pinching cigarettes with her fingers for a long time.

Qin Zhibo stretched out his hand calmly, and carefully inspected the palm holding the three sticks of Chaoxiang.

Sanzhi Asaka subconsciously pulled back, but seeing the surrounding female employees and proprietress staring at her, she couldn't say no.

When Qin Zhibo touched her palm, he started his long-lost character investigation.

【Investigation√】

Name: Atsuko Kinukawa

Gender: Female
Age: 28
Occupation: Unemployed

Social credit: 300
……

Lucky: 35
Skills: special skills (gambling), games, cooking...

Seeing this information, Qin Zhibo understood everything, and let go of her palm.

It was the last female employee's turn, also the short-haired girl who was seen in the bath just now, named Bessho Toshiko.

After facing each other, Qin Zhibo discovered that there was a mole on her chin.

Generally, people who have moles on their body will not have only one mole, and there are also moles in places that cannot be seen.

But her palms also didn't meet the requirements, and there were no traces of silk threads being used.

"All right……"

Qin Zhibo took a step back and announced, "I've finished reading them all, and everyone can go about their own affairs."

The proprietress hurried forward and asked "who is the murderer", but Qin Zhibo prevaricated her with "no comment".

Just like that, the waitresses left in groups of two or three, discussing in low voices.

In fact, when these waitresses gathered and Qin Zhibo saw that none of them had any investigation points, he had a premonition in his heart.

But that kind of thin thread, no matter what material it is, will definitely leave marks on the hands unless it is protected by calluses in the corresponding position.

Unless there is a strangle mark on the hand, it should be dealt with quickly in a short time.

This reminded Qin Zhibo that when he went to the bathing place, the proprietress, Sanzhi Asaka, and Bessho Toshiko happened to be taking a bath.

Soaking in hot water can speed up the recovery of skin scars.

If this is the case, these three people are the first to be suspected, and they are one of the familiar three.

Starting from the motive, Sanzhi Chaoxiang is the most suspicious person.

Because no matter from her previous temptations or her real name, she is the mother Kazuki Kazuki is looking for.

The purpose of the reporter Yaxia coming to the hotel is obviously related to the matter of Juanchuan Hehui looking for his mother. Maybe Yaxia has already got the news in advance and found out what the big braid said.

But in the face of such a case of choosing one of the three, Qin Zhibo knows that the more motivated the crime is, the less he can blindly determine a certain investigation target, otherwise it will be the next "mao profit".

Besides the murder weapon, the mole on the murderer's chest was also an important clue.

However, Qin Zhibo didn't buy the first week's shopping mall prop [see-through glasses], so he couldn't check the mole in private, let alone let the waitress take off her clothes.

So this matter can only wait for the police to investigate themselves.

……

In Room 205, Mori Kogoro also got the important evidence of cell phone photos from Conan.

"Really! What are you kid doing with such important evidence!"

Mori Kogoro reprimanded him, but luckily he didn't reward Conan with a brainstorm.

Conan handed over his mobile phone, and just as he was about to push away Kinukawa Kazuki, who was watching at the door, Kogoro Mori, with tricky eyes, noticed the flower spot in the photo.

"Wow! It turns out that the murderer has a mole on his chest!"

Kogoro Mori's voice happened to be heard by Kinukawa Kazuki who hadn't walked out of the door.

Oops!

Conan's complexion changed, and then he turned to look at Suanchuan.

Although Conan was very unhappy with the kid's behavior of acting like a baby to Mao Lilan and asking for a hug along the way, the child is innocent after all, and he should not be allowed to hear such cruel things.

The biological mother who had finally found her was actually a murderer?
However, even though Kiankawa Kazuki was only 7 years old, he immediately understood the meaning, his expression was startled, he turned around and ran out of the room.

"He Hui!"

Suanchuan Kazuki ran very fast, and Mao Lilan, who noticed something strange, hurriedly chased him out.

However, at this time, Juanchuan had already run a certain distance, and even though Mao Lilan behind him called him, he did not look back.

His brain couldn't accept it for a while, and his body could only subconsciously choose to escape.

He ran to the corner and stopped, avoiding Mao Lilan who was chasing him, while digesting the news like a bolt from the blue in his mind.

Mother, is the murderer...

Mother is a murderer...

Just at this time, two waitresses who brought bedding to the guests came side by side from the other direction at the corner, and they were talking about something while walking.

"Do you remember just now?"

"The famous detective checked the palms of all of us to determine who the murderer was... He just stopped in front of Sanzhi and touched it carefully with his hands."

Another waitress nodded, "That's right, everyone's hands pass by with a glance, and her hands are treated differently..."

"Maybe she is the murderer!"
