Conan's grammatical investigator

Beside the big tree in the bird house, a person covered in pitch-black stood in some messy grass.

When he saw him for the first time, Qin Zhibo's body trembled, and he felt the chill like a poisonous snake wandering around his body.

He is completely black, not the dark skin of Hattori Heiji, but a primitive darkness that is extremely pure, even many times deeper than the abyss.

Black skin, black hair, black eyes...but not with the characteristics of a person of color, more like Onyx Black.

His suit is also jet black, like a black hole covering his body, with a pure black cane in both hands, standing upright and staring up.

Qin Zhibo felt that something in his soul seemed to be taken away between the interlacing of the black agate-like eyesight.

Qin Zhibo: Will -20
The two looked at each other for two seconds, but it seemed like a long time had passed.

"Mr. Qin, what's the matter with you?"

"What's wrong with the case?"

Shancun Cao next to him was holding a police manual, pouting his lips and showing puzzlement in his eyes, which awakened Qin Zhibo's mind.

"Um... um..."

When he came back to his senses, Qin Zhibo looked in that direction, and there was no one in the grass.

Qin Zhibo narrowed his eyes slightly, knowing that he must have seen something just now.

What exactly is that?
It looks like "Xiao Hei", or his substitute emissary, but it's definitely not...

"Xiao Hei" is a human form that has collected all the investigation points and simulated the murderer's movement trajectory.

However, with Qin Zhibo's familiarity with case reasoning and the improvement of his intelligence, and with the help of limited investigation points, he was able to solve the case quickly.

Therefore, I have not used "Xiao Hei" for a long time.

And that doesn't look like Xiao Hei, who can't see the image of a specific human being on Xiao Hei's body, and his eyes and teeth are white for easy identification.

Generally speaking, Xiao Hei is a vague and indescribable human figure.

The stand-in messenger is a pure black human silhouette without even facial features, more like a three-dimensional figure.

And that... From another level, it is too deep to describe.

But no matter what it was, Qin Zhibo could feel that it was not kind to him.

Or when encountering these incomprehensible existences, subconsciously using human standards of good and evil to measure is a wrong behavior.

Because they are not human at all.

……

"Okay! I understand everything!"

Yamamura closed the police handbook excitedly, and he could experience the ultimate happiness of police officer Megure.

It means "the case is not complicated, and the performance is pure white".

Under Qin Zhibo's explanation, this uncomplicated case has almost been solved, and the rest will go back to the police station to interrogate the murderer slowly.

"But the question now is why did the owner of the villa build this secret passage in the first place?"

It may be that he was not used to closing the case so easily, so Shancun Cao asked more questions out of curiosity.

The man with glasses, one of the only remaining band duo, explained.

"The elder brother of the original owner of the villa sealed the windows after seeing the monster, and then renovated the villa again. Later, the tragedy happened that the sister-in-law hanged herself first, and then the elder brother jumped to his death."

"But according to the younger brother who sold us this villa, the reason why his sister-in-law committed suicide is because she had an affair with him, and after being discovered by his brother, she committed suicide because of the condemned relationship."

"The elder brother followed after the death of his wife, feeling regretful in his heart."

"F, Affair!"

Yamamura Cao looked shocked, and Conan and others beside him were also a little surprised.

Conan secretly lowered his head and thought, if this is the case, everything can be explained, including the death of his brother and sister-in-law a few years ago.

What my brother said about "meeting a monster" is just a rhetoric, an excuse to build secret passages through decoration.

In fact, he had already discovered that his younger brother was having an affair with his wife, so he built this secret passage, through the half window in the secret passage, to secretly observe the situation of their affair.

After observing for a period of time, the elder brother finally couldn't bear it, and killed his wife by using a secret way, just like the method used by the murderer in this case, to create the illusion of suicide.

But after his wife died, my brother couldn't bear the condemnation of his conscience, so he jumped off the stairs.

Thinking of this, Conan looked up at the adults around him, and couldn't wait to speak out his reasoning.

But at this moment, Eisuke Hondo, who had been in deep thought, suddenly spoke.

"In the case a few years ago, the lady who committed suicide was probably killed by her brother using secret channels, just like today's case."

"And this secret passage was built by my elder brother in order to observe my younger brother's affair with his wife..."

Before Conan could tell his reasoning, Hondo Eisuke said it first.

His face was serious, he was no longer confused, and Conan was a little surprised by his serious reasoning.

this person……

Conan felt that when reasoning, Hondo Eisuke's temperament seemed to be a different person.

The point is, his reasoning is still correct.

But at this moment, a mature and calm voice came, interrupting everyone's thinking.

"Young people are still young, and they will only make judgments based on pure reason, but ignore that any case is based on human nature..."

Qin Zhibo shook his head and continued: "As far as human nature is concerned, when a man finds out that he has been cuckolded, he will immediately stand up to prevent this from happening, instead of calmly doing something secretly. observe."

"Unless his own ability is insufficient, he likes this..."

"So this secret passage should not be used by my brother to monitor his wife's affair with my brother..."

Everyone showed puzzled expressions, but Conan was shocked.

Hondo Eisuke seemed a little unconvinced, and asked, "Then tell me, what is this secret path used for?"

Qin Zhibo glanced at the hidden secret passage behind the wardrobe on the third floor, and thought for a second.

"Maybe this secret passage is used for cheating?"

"What if, I mean, what if, what if the real cheating person is the wife of my elder brother and younger brother?"

Everyone was surprised again, because no one mentioned or thought about the character "My Brother's Wife" from the beginning to the end of the whole story.

Qin Zhibo continued: "If I'm not mistaken, the brother's wife didn't sleep in the same room as my brother, did she?"

The wave girl in the band nodded, "Yes..."

"I heard that it's because my younger brother's wife has poor legs and has been sleeping on the second floor for a long time, the servants sleep on the first floor, and the rooms of my elder brother and younger brother are both on the third floor."

Hearing this, everyone's thinking was also opened up a lot.

It seems more reasonable if the elder brother created this passage for the sake of having an affair with his younger brother's wife.

As long as there is this passage from the third floor to the second floor, the elder brother can come downstairs from the closet every night, and enter the room of the younger brother's wife for a tryst.

During the day, my brother's wife likes to work in the garden.

As for the two people in the house, as long as they have the half window to monitor the backyard, they can sit back and relax doing random things in the secret passage.

In contrast, using the window of the secret passage to monitor the affair between the younger brother and the sister-in-law is not only sick, but also somewhat unreliable.

After all, there are 27 windows at the back of the entire villa, no matter how daring a cheater is, he will not be able to flirt in the backyard in broad daylight.

There are servants at home.

Thinking of this, Conan's head was a little dazed.

Unexpectedly, my reasoning was still missing, ignoring the part of human nature.

The key is how can I know what the cheating person is thinking!

In contrast, Qin Zhibo's experience should be much richer...

Conan looked at Qin Zhibo, and there were some unrealistic fantasies in his mind.

Hondo Eisuke next to him was still not convinced, his eyes under the glasses were still persistent.

"But if this is the truth, why does my younger brother say that he had an affair with his sister-in-law?"

Qin Zhibo walked up to Hondo Yingyou and patted him on the shoulder.

"Of course my younger brother chose to forgive his wife."

"Anyway, the client is dead, and he takes the initiative to take the blame and take the affair on himself, so that he can protect the woman he loves from being discredited. After all, in this country, the society generally has a higher tolerance for male infidelity. .”

"And from another perspective, he can be regarded as returning a nominal green hat to his brother."

"The brothers are even."

After finishing speaking, Qin Zhibo gave him a look of "You still have to practice".

After listening to this explanation, Hondo Eisuke was stunned in place, his world view was greatly shocked.

At this moment, Shancuncao also suddenly became enlightened, and raised a finger and said: "That is to say, my brother's wife couldn't stand her husband's constant cheating, so she hanged herself in the room of the younger brother and sister on the second floor!"

"And my brother couldn't stand the condemnation of his conscience, so he also chose to commit suicide by jumping off the building!"

This is a reasonable explanation, and it is also the most favorable explanation for the Gunma Police Department.

Because as long as both of them commit suicide, the result of the judgment will be the same as that of a few years ago, and the Gunma police will not be regarded as wrongly convicted.

But Qin Zhibo knows in his heart that things are not that simple, and a "moral" ending often does not exist.

That magic circle doesn't appear on the plate for no reason.

And summoning a horror hunter requires a blood sacrifice, and someone must have completed the blood sacrifice.

If the sister-in-law had used her own life as the price for satisfying the blood sacrifice, the brother's death was destined.

Qin Zhibo attached himself to the surprised-looking Shancuncao, and whispered something in a low voice.

Yamamura Cao reacted, and replied, "I'm not too sure about this, I need to ask a senior police officer..."

……

After a while, Shancun Cao came back again.

"You are right. Although that brother committed suicide by jumping off a building, there is no dispute about it, and there are no signs of fighting on his body, but the expression on his face when he died was very frightened, as if he was afraid of something..."

Qin Zhibo fell into thinking, and it seemed that his guess was correct.

The person who uses the magic circle is my brother's wife. She may be a witch like Koizumi Hongzi.

She couldn't stand her husband's betrayal, so she punished him in this way.

"By the way, according to the servants of the villa at that time, the elder brother was in a very bad state of mind some time before committing suicide, and he always said 'people covered in black are watching him', but the servants said that there had never been any black skin in the villa. people."

Hearing this, Qin Zhibo's face was shocked.

Doesn't the person covered in pitch-black describe the guy I saw just now?
But why?
"Xiaolan! Come and assemble!"

"My sister and they are here!"

At this time, Yuanzi greeted everyone at the entrance.

After waiting for several hours, Yuanzi's follow-up troops finally arrived.

……

At the entrance of the villa, a line of black luxury cars parked neatly, which shocked even the mountain village.

Under Mao Lilan's explanation, Shancuncao knew Yuanzi's true identity.

I originally wanted to get along with you as ordinary people... a showdown!

I am the second daughter of the Suzuki Foundation!
Suzuki Sonoko first greeted Suzuki Ayako who was sitting in the lead car.

The car window was lowered, and Suzuki Ayako who was sitting inside was extremely haggard, and the dark circles around her eyes seemed to be covered with smoky makeup.

"Everyone... hello."

Suzuki Ayako's voice was weak, but she still tried her best to greet those familiar faces.

Conan, Mao Lilan and Qin Zhibo were all shocked by Suzuki Ayako's current changes.

"Yuanzi, this..."

"Okay! Sister, let's go to the car behind~"

Yuanzi didn't wait for Mao Lilan to ask questions, but pushed his best friend away and interrupted her.

After arriving in the car behind, Yuanzi introduced the ins and outs to Qin Zhibo and others.

It turned out that Suzuki Ayako had suffered from serious mental illness since the bandage monster incident ended.

After trying many treatment methods to no avail, the doctor proposed this therapy of fighting poison with poison to eliminate Suzuki Ayako's inner demons.

To put it simply, everyone needs to restore the situation at that time and let the bandage weirdo be brought to justice.

The fact that the police could not catch Ryoichi Takahashi for so long may also be one of the causes of this disease.

Of course, people from the Suzuki family also tried to deceive Suzuki Ayako, saying that the murderer had been caught.

But one is that Suzuki Ayako wants to witness Takahashi Ryoichi being arrested in the police station, and the other is that it is useless to do so, and the nightmare has not been interrupted.

"The bandage monster can be played by someone from our Suzuki family..."

"As for the task of catching the Bandage Monster, I originally wanted to hand it over to Xiaolan, but since Mr. Qin is here, naturally it's best to leave it to Mr. Qin."

"This is a script, you should familiarize yourself with it first..."

Yuanzi solemnly took out several scripts and handed them to Qin Zhibo, Mao Lilan, and Conan respectively.

Hondo Eisuke looked at it and found that the script was not his own, so he pointed to his nose.

"Yuanzi, what about me?"

"You?" Yuanzi smiled apologetically, "I'm sorry, Xiaolan couldn't refuse the invitation."

"After all, Xiaolan is a good person. As long as she knows that there are other students around, she will definitely not refuse to come here again."

"Sorry! When everything is over, I will treat you to dinner!"

……

On the detour to Suzuki Villa, several people familiarized themselves with the script in the car.

The script is not long, and almost all things have been experienced. In fact, it is the first day of the bandage weirdo incident.

It's just that in the ending, the script was slightly modified, that is, the bandage monster was directly caught, Happy End.

After half an hour, the convoy made a detour to the front of Suzuki Villa.

But just as the car stopped, a mission prompt popped up in Qin Zhibo's vision.

[Congratulations for triggering a survival exploration mission—one night in the cemetery ([-])]

[Task requirements: Further explore the cemetery, time limit 8 hours]

[Task reward: 2500 general skill proficiency, 1 chance to draw a lottery, 250 strange knowledge skill proficiency]

[Mission countdown begins]

【8:00:00】

【7:59:59】

……

Seeing the content in his field of vision, Qin Zhibo's eyes widened in disbelief.

This is the follow-up to the mission "One Night in the Graveyard"!
