Conan's grammatical investigator

This short-haired girl named Lunzi yelled at everyone, even if there were outsiders, she would not show any mercy.

"You have my songwriting ability and have existed as singers until now..."

"Don't forget!"

After finishing speaking, the short-haired woman slammed the door angrily and left.

Qin Zhibo glanced at the three members of the band, but there was no murderous intent in his eyes, as if he was used to this matter.

This made him a little surprised that the expression management was actually done pretty well.

At this time, the man with glasses explained in a low voice: "She lives in the next room, and she has always had a bad temper."

The flat-headed man spread his hands, and added helplessly: "But our band has always lived on the music of Lunzi, and we dare not resist~"

The wavy ponytail girl folded her arms, "We have to work too, if you want to stay here, you can take a tour around here."

Two of the three walked out of the room, and the wave girl sorted out the books in the library.

Qin Zhibo suggested at this time that everyone go to the backyard to look at the window where the monster is peeping.

On the one hand, it is to see if the previous rumors are really related to some monsters.

On the other hand, I have to give the murderer some room to play.

……

Qin Zhibo, Conan, Mao Lilan, Yuanzi, and Hondo Eiyu, a total of four people came to the backyard.

The lawn in the backyard is overgrown with weeds, and the exterior wall is much more mottled than the villa seen from the front. It seems that although the band bought the villa, they did not have the money to hire professionals to maintain it.

The windows arranged horizontally and vertically are very neat, with a total of 8×3, or 24 windows.

All the windows are double-layered, the outer layer is a protective wooden fence window, and the inner layer is an old-fashioned lattice window.

Almost all the wooden fence windows are open, only the fourth window from right to left on the second floor is completely closed.

"See, that's the one, right?"

Sonoko pointed to the only closed window and asked, "It looks ordinary from the outside, it doesn't look like it's cursed."

Qin Zhibo looked at the window and found nothing unusual.

And it's strange, if it was a ghoul, why did the ghoul have to invade from this window on the second floor?

Entering directly from the broken window on the first floor should be more in line with the intuition of this crawling monster.

Or there is no such thing as a monster, it is completely fabricated by the rumored "brother", for some purpose...

Hondo Eiyu looked around and found a wooden ladder standing beside the big tree, and on the branch at the top of the wooden ladder, there was an artificial bird house painted white.

"Look, there is actually a bird's nest here, are there any birds on it?"

Hondo Eisuke said, and walked to the wooden ladder, eager to climb up and have a look.

Qin Zhibo immediately stepped forward and pressed his shoulder.

"You may get hurt if you go up, let me do it."

Qin Zhibo's words are full of the wisdom and concern of an elder.

It is not a small matter to fall from such a high place. I have already promised Mizuru Reina to help take care of her brother, so it is better not to hurt him as much as possible.

It was Qin Zhibo who climbed the ladder and climbed to the top, just facing the artificial bird house.

The design of this bird house is completely based on the wishful thinking of human beings. The small house with a pointed roof has a cover that can only be opened by humans on one side, and in the middle of the cover is a hole for birds to drill in.

Qin Zhibo opened the lid with his fingers, and there was no bird's nest in the traditional sense inside, only a plate for the bird to drink.

But the plate has been dry for a long time, obviously no one here cares about the life and death of the bird.

"How is it? Mr. Qin?"

"There are no birds, only a plate."

"plate?"

Talking is worse than doing it, Qin Zhibo reached out and took out the plate, and wanted to show it to the people below.

But when he showed the plate to the people below, he saw an unusual thing at the bottom of the plate.

It was a magic circle painted on the bottom of the plate with some kind of black paint.

There are complex inscriptions and magnificent patterns on the magic circle, which looks very strange, obviously not the original design of the porcelain plate.

This is……

Holding the plate, Qin Zhibo fell into confusion.

Why is there a magic circle in this place?
Qin Zhibo swept his gaze to other places in the bird house, but he didn't find any other magic circles.

But on the top of the bird house cover, there are four arc-shaped protrusions arranged in circular lines.

Qin Zhibo immediately understood, buckled the plate on top, and fixed the plate on the inside of the lid.

Then close the lid of the bird house, and the magic circle passes through the hole in the middle of the lid, just aiming at the window where the monster appeared and was nailed to death.

The magic circle is aimed at the window?
Qin Zhibo's eyes scanned the two points and one line, thoughtful in his heart.

If this magic circle is really useful, it may have something to do with the "monster" encountered by the elder brother of the previous owner of the villa.

Maybe someone used a magic circle to summon a monster, and just attacked my brother behind the window.

From the point of view of the ultimate beneficiary of this matter, it may be the younger brother or younger sister, because after the death of the elder brother and sister-in-law, they will benefit the most.

But those who can use the magic circle are those who have magic power.

It seems that most of the people who have magic power and know how to use magic live in the crowd very low-key and use their abilities secretly.

Thinking about it, Qin Zhibo took off the plate, took a photo with his mobile phone to record the magic circle, and sent it to Koizumi Hongzi.

But at this moment, the nailed window opened a gap slightly.

Qin Zhibo's face was startled, but he didn't make a sound in shock, but narrowed his eyes and watched silently.

But Hondo Eiyu below saw Qin Zhibo's attention was attracted by something, and his eyes were looking in any direction, but he was frightened and screamed at the frightened scene.

"what--!"

"There, there is something there!"

Qin Zhibo kept staring at the window, and as Hondo Eisuke made a sound, the crucified window quickly closed like a startled shell.

"At that moment just now, there was, something was looking at us!"

Hondo Eisuke was so frightened that he fell to the ground and pointed in that direction tremblingly.

But when Conan, Mao Lilan and Yuanzi on the ground looked, the windows were already closed, so naturally they saw nothing.

But even so, the timid Mao Lilan was still frightened, and clenched her hands a little uneasily, "Don't scare me~"

"I didn't lie, there was really something just now!"

When Conan heard this, he immediately ran to the villa with a serious expression, obviously wanting to go up and check it out.

"Conan!"

Mao Lilan and Yuanzi also followed closely behind.

Qin Zhibo glanced at the plate with some doubts. Could it be the magic circle that worked?
But when I think about it carefully, although I can cast magic with the help of the magic power extractor, I don't wear that prop at all now.

But just in case, Qin Zhibo still put the small plate in his arms, don't let it hurt anyone again.

After doing this, Qin Zhibo scanned the second floor again.

Next to the nailed window is another window in the library, and you can see the wave girl standing in front of the bookshelf reading a book.

Judging from her lack of response, there shouldn't be any frightening changes in the room.

And on the left side of the crucified window, a thin figure hangs quietly in the room.

……

On the other side, Conan quickly ran to the library on the second floor of the villa.

The wave girl who was reading a book inside was taken aback and asked "what's going on".

But Conan ignored her, but looked directly at the nailed window, and ran to check.

The rivets and iron bars on the window frame are all in a nailed state, without any trace of being pulled out.

He frowned, lost in thought.

At this time, Mao Lilan, Sonoko, and Hondo Eiyuki also came to the second floor, but they were stopped by the knock on the door of the glasses man standing next to the library
"Lunzi! Open the door!"

"I brought you a CD!"

The crew-cut man also came down the stairs on the third floor, "What's wrong? It's so noisy."

The man with glasses explained: "When we were out shopping just now, we bought the CD that Lunzi asked me to buy. I'm bringing the things to her now, but she hasn't opened the door..."

"Miss Lunzi is dead."

At this moment, Qin Zhibo came to the second floor and announced to everyone calmly.

Everyone on the second floor was shocked, their faces shocked.

Qin Zhibo walked towards the door of Lunzi's room, and said as he walked, "I saw it in the backyard just now, and Lunzi had already hanged himself in the room."

"Hang yourself!"

"How is this possible? Lunzi, she..."

As Qin Zhibo and the man with glasses knocked open the door together, Lunzi in the room was indeed hung up.

One end of the rope is tied to the chandelier on the ceiling, and the other end is wrapped around Lunzi's neck.

Qin Zhibo stepped forward immediately, and felt the pulse of the corpse symbolically.

"It's hopeless, Xiaolan, go to the police!"

"Everyone else is not allowed in!"

Qin Zhibo sternly shouted, and stopped the man with glasses and the man with flat hair who was about to come in to help.

The two froze for a moment, and the crew-haired man among them was a little unconvinced, "Hey, why are you giving orders here? You're not a detective..."

Hearing this, Qin Zhibo turned up his collar and put on a very professional poss.

"Sorry, I'm a detective."

"I forgot to introduce myself before, now let's get to know each other officially..."

"My name is Qin Zhibo, and I'm a detective."

Conan: "..." Why do these words sound familiar?

When they heard about Qin Zhibo's identity as a detective, the three of them seemed to have heard of it a little bit, and they were all surprised.

"So you are that famous detective in Tokyo!"

"No wonder you seem familiar."

"how is this possible……"

Seeing that several people understood his authority, Qin Zhibo occasionally showed his professionalism and said seriously: "Although it looked like a suicide case at the scene, Lunzi asked someone to help him buy a CD before. Such a person would never commit suicide suddenly. .”

"In other words, the murderer is in this villa."

"From now until the police arrive, no one is allowed in this room except me."

Qin Zhibo looked at the people outside the door, the so-called murderer naturally mainly refers to the three members of the band.

At this moment, Hondo Eisuke stood aside and weakly raised his hand.

"That... May I ask why this child can go in?"

Hondo Eisuke pointed to Conan who was standing upright in the room and looking around, and Conan was taken aback for a moment.

Qin Zhibo looked at Conan, watched for a second, and gave the answer calmly.

"Because this child is not...others, but my assistant."

When Conan heard this, he nodded with relief.

Just because I was finally not excluded from the category of human beings this time.

Qin Zhibo turned his head to look at Lunzi who was hanging beside him. He had actually seen the investigation point of the corpse through the window.

[Corpse investigation √]

【Name of the deceased: Bao Bolunzi】

[Death time: 15 minute ago]

[Cause of death: strangled]

[The investigation of the corpse is completed, and the character skill has been obtained: Arts and Crafts (Music)]

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

Gaining skills from musicians is not surprising.

As the 1000 proficiency was imported into the corresponding skills, the progress bar that was still half full immediately overflowed.

[Congratulations, the art and craft (music) proficiency level has been raised to level 3]

Gaining higher music skills can help Qin Zhibo use the prop [Magic Flute] better to play the evil tune of the swineherd calling the mouse in his dream.

But now is not the time to care about this, but the task prompt that pops up immediately after.

-

Side task: find out the murderer of this case
Task requirements: time limit half an hour
Task reward: 500 general skill proficiency, 150 social credit
-

The task rewards are not rich, and even the time required for the task is much shorter than usual, which shows that this case is not difficult to solve.

Let's start by looking for an investigation point.

Qin Zhibo looked around the room, and his eyes first fell on a key on the coffee table.

【Investigation√】

[This is the key to the door of the room, but why is it separated from the key ring and placed here alone? 】

Qin Zhibo looked back at the waist of the corpse. There was a key ring pinned to the belt, and the other keys were fastened to it.

The key ring itself is also very characteristic. There is a tape measure-like device on the key ring, which can pull the key out for a long time.

If this key ring is used, as long as the murderer pulls the extension cord of the key, he can take the key out of the door through the crack in the door below.

Lock the door from the outside, and once you let go, the key will return to the key ring like a tape measure, and then return to the corpse.

This technique can create the effect of killing in a secret room.

But the problem is that the room key is on the coffee table, not on the key ring, which makes this method untenable.

Secondly, the investigation point does not appear on the key ring, which shows that the key ring has no direct relationship with this case.

Qin Zhibo continued to observe in the room and found a second investigation point.

This investigation point is located on the bookshelf, on the bottom row of books.

【Investigation√】

[The arrangement order of this row of books has been disrupted, it is easy to kill obsessive-compulsive disorder]

Qin Zhibo bent down to check the spine of the book, and found that it was a set of "Encyclopedia", that is, an encyclopedia.

The number is written under the encyclopedia, but the order of the numbers is 5634127 in a messed up order.

Just as Qin Zhibo was about to take out the book and tried to restore the order to see what would happen, the phone in his arms rang.

Jingle Bell--

He picked up the phone, and there was Koizumi Hongko's voice on the other side.

"Where did you find that magic circle?"

"That is the magic circle that summons the horror hunter..."
