The Grammatical Investigator in Conan

Murder warning letter!

Mao Lilan repeated what Qin Zhibo said incredulously, causing Mao Li Kogoro, who was smoking on the deck not far away, to move his ears.

Well. Qin Zhibo handed the letter of entrustment to Conan, who was looking forward to seeing through it. Although the statement is a bit vague, this should be what the client wants to express.

Conan at his feet was holding a commission letter in both hands. He really couldn't figure out what this had to do with the murder notice letter.

It's not like Conan has never received a murder notice letter.

Before his body became smaller, Conan, who was Kudo Shinichi, received many crime warning letters.

In other words, it is a challenge to Kudo Shinichi.

But those preview letters are fundamentally different from this one.

Since this person wanted to challenge the famous detective, why not just write down his purpose clearly.

Are you afraid of police intervention?

Moreover, there is a signature at the end that does not look like a pseudonym, which is really inconsistent with the characteristics of ordinary crime warning letters.

Um, you said this was a murder notice letter. Do you have any evidence?

Conan, who gave up working behind closed doors, raised his head and asked Qin Zhibo.

Well - it's actually very simple. The letter itself is a simple riddle.

The key words in the sentence The Night of the Next Full Moon are the full moon and the shadow.

As we all know, the conditions for shadow generation are light sources and obstacles, so the way to make the shadow disappear is to erase one of these two conditions.

The first is the light source. The time limit for the riddle is on a full moon night, so the light source is guaranteed.

Then the riddle actually refers to making something that acts as an obstacle disappear.

Next, please pay attention to the word 'disappeared again' in the riddle, indicating that this obstacle has disappeared before on Moon Shadow Island.

You should have heard of a saying that shadow is the soul of a person. If a person dies, the soul represented by the shadow will also disappear.

So the death that must have existed on Moon Shadow Island is the so-called disappearance.

Then 'disappearing again' is letting people die.

Qin Zhibo's reasoning was complete in one go, but in fact he just stated the results obtained from the secret whisper investigation just now.

Not only that, Qin Zhibo also obtained a side task from this letter.

Side mission: Complete the commission in the commission letter

Task requirements: time limit 48 hours

Task reward: 500 skill proficiency, 100 social credit

At this moment, Mouri Kogoro, who had been eavesdropping, couldn't hold himself any longer and came over and snatched the commission letter from Conan's hand.

You mean that someone challenged me, the famous detective Mouri Kogoro, and wanted me to try to stop him?

Qin Zhibo nodded noncommittally.

hateful!

This Keiji Aso actually dares to challenge me! When I get to the island, I will find you out immediately, and then...

Mouri Kogoro hates evil with gnashing teeth.

However, both Qin Zhibo and Conan felt that it would not be so easy to find Keiji Aso.

Since he dared to leave this signature, then...

I'm very sorry, I can't find this name.

Are you sure you are looking for someone named Keiji Aso?

In the village office, the young staff searched back and forth on the resident list of Moon Shadow Island, but they couldn't find anyone named Keiji Aso.

Mouri Kogoro did not give up, and even took out the commission letter in his arms to prove to the clerk that he was indeed the person.

At this time, a slightly older employee came over and asked about the situation.

But when Kogoro Mouri informed him that the person he was looking for was Keiji Aso, he immediately showed a shocked expression.

Aso Keiji!

The elderly staff member's voice was so loud that the islanders who came to the village office to do business were startled and started talking about it.

No, there can be no such thing!

The elderly staff member's eyes widened and he said in shock: Because, because he, he died more than ten years ago!

The Maori father and daughter were so shocked that they pushed their bodies back slightly. Qin Zhibo and Conan were already mentally prepared and did not react much at this moment.

Since it was a murder notice, how could someone put their real name on it?

However, leaving a dead person's name is a bit unexpected.

How did this person die? Can you tell us?

Qin Zhibo asked.

It seems that social skills (speech skills) are activated, or it may be that this elderly staff member just likes to tell outsiders about things in the village.

In short, he invited everyone to the back room and talked about it.

Keji Aso. He was born on this island.

I used to be a very famous pianist and was often invited to perform overseas.

That incident happened on a full moon night twelve years ago. After many years, he returned to his hometown and held a piano recital in the village's public hall.

It's a pity that after the concert, he suddenly closed his family in their home and set a fire.

It is said that he killed his wife and daughter with a knife. He seemed to be possessed by something in the raging fire and kept playing the piano as if possessed.

The piece played is exactly Beethoven's famous song, Moonlight.

The elderly staff member finished telling the story with great emotion. The Maori family was immersed in the story and could not extricate themselves. Qin Zhibo asked a very realistic question.

How many permanent residents are there on the island now?

Well, probably more than nine hundred people.

Choose 1 out of 900.

It seems a little difficult to complete the 48-hour task time limit?

After leaving the village office, the investigation hit a bottleneck.

If you want to complete the entrustment in the entrustment letter, you must at least find the entruster first.

But Qin Zhibo's investigation system is better used in a smaller environment. It is best to be able to see all the investigation points by looking around.

But now the scope of the investigation basically covers the entire Yueying Island, and every resident on Yueying Island may be the person who sent the commission letter.

Even with the investigation system in hand, it was difficult for Qin Zhibo to find a specific direction of investigation.

Do we need to visit these 900 islanders within 48 hours and see if there are any investigation points in their homes one by one?

This idea is obviously undesirable, and it is also an impossible task.

So Qin Zhibo decided to follow the plan discussed by the Maori family and go to the village public hall to ask the village chief if Keiji Aso had any friends or relatives before his death.

Because since the name was borrowed from Keiji Aso, it must be someone who has some relationship with Keiji Aso.

Qin Zhibo, who has a navigation device when going from the village office to the public hall, will not get lost.

In order to complete the task quickly, Qin Zhibo decided not to pretend and took Maoli and his family straight to the public center.

Uncle Qin, how do you know the way?

I read the map before coming here.

CONAN: Where did you get the map for a place like this?

Qin Zhibo: Sorry, having a system is really arrogant. Are you dissatisfied?

Although Conan was confused by this statement, he didn't pay much attention to it.

After all, I'm used to it.

At this moment, a female voice came from the clinic on the side of the road.

You must sleep well after you go back.

The sound was very sweet, and there were no other distractions on the roadside, so it naturally attracted the attention of Qin Zhibo and others.

The voice came from a beautiful doctor with a ponytail at the door of the clinic.

When Qin Zhibo looked at the beautiful doctor, he also saw the personal information floating on her head.

Name: Narumi Asai

Sex: Male

Age: 26

Occupation: Doctor

Social Credit: 1850

Um?

Another transvestite?
