Conan Rick's Investigator

At this time, Amuro Toru stepped forward and analyzed, "Based on my previous experience as a salesperson in a furniture store, brown is a heavy color and doesn't quite fit the overall style of your office."

"However, bright colors aren't suitable for the workplace. Overall, gray is a better choice because it's versatile and high-end."

Qin Zhibo listened carefully to Conan and Qin Zhibo's suggestions and ordered two sets of gray fabric sofas, which came with four pillows of the same color.

"The total is 207800 yen... This is your receipt, please keep it."

"Our mall is currently holding a promotion. With your shopping receipt, you can receive a gift worth 10 yen if you purchase items worth over 1 yen."

Qin Zhibo is quite familiar with this promotional tactic, which is similar to the shopping website's purchase of 200 and a subsidy of 20.

However, this activity is still a bit of a rip-off, because a 1 yen product is definitely not as valuable as 1 yen.

Qin Zhibo took the shopping receipt and took Conan and Amuro Toru to buy the remaining furniture somewhere else.

……

Time passed quickly and it was already 4 o'clock in the afternoon. Qin Zhibo had basically purchased all the furniture he wanted and was just waiting for it to be delivered to his door.

The only thing Qin Zhibo wanted to buy was carpets that would cover the entire room, but the mall didn't have carpets of that size.

What surprised Qin Zhibo was that he had been strolling around with Conan for the entire afternoon, but not a single store had any problems.

Is Conan's Death Buff invalid?

The three of them came to the service center on the first floor of the mall, where there were many customers waiting to redeem the mall's 1 yen shopping vouchers.

Qin Zhibo looked at his shopping receipt and found that he could exchange it for four tickets.

In the long line, Conan was the first to catch sight of two familiar figures.

"Sister Xiaolan! Sister Sonoko!"

The two girls turned around and saw Conan with Qin Zhibo and Amuro Toru.

"Conan? Aren't you with your dad?"

Qin Zhibo stepped forward and explained, "I happened to be shopping at the mall and saw this kid in the underground parking lot, so I asked him to go shopping with me."

When Suzuki Sonoko heard this, she immediately laughed mischievously and teased, "Hehe~~ You kid, you don't go shopping with girls, but instead go shopping with men. Do you like men?"

Conan blushed immediately and shook his head in denial, "No! No! It was my uncle who insisted on taking me with him..."

Conan's reaction was quite cute, making Ran Mouri and Sonoko giggle. Only Qin Zhibo couldn't help but complain in his heart when he looked at Conan's red face.

When I tell you that you like men, you blush like a bubble teapot!

At this time, Amuro Toru stepped forward and showed his gentlemanly persona, holding out his hand, "Ladies, do you need me to help you get the merchandise..."

"Thank you, Mr. Amuro. The things I bought are not very heavy." Mao Lilan turned her head and looked at Suzuki Sonoko. "Sonoko bought more things..."

"I don't need it either!"

Before Ran Mouri could finish her words, Suzuki Sonoko quickly rejected Amuro Toru's service spirit.

It’s not that Suzuki Sonoko is used to carrying things by herself, but among the things she bought today was a sweater for "Azhen".

It is said that people with professions related to detectives are very perceptive. Suzuki Sonoko does not want Amuro Toru to see that the hand-knitted sweater she bought is in men's size and misunderstand that she has a boyfriend.

According to Suzuki Sonoko, she and Azhen are still in the stage of pulling each other. She wants to play hard to get, test Azhen's feelings, and let him take the initiative to confess to her. This is romantic enough.

And as long as the two parties have not established a relationship, she can continue to enjoy the pursuit of handsome men and retain the right to pursue handsome men.

Thinking of this, Suzuki Sonoko was secretly glad that she was wearing thick-soled shoes that could highlight her legs. Maybe Amuro Toru would like it?

However, Toru Amuro didn't notice this at all. He was just quietly observing Qin Zhibo's normal communication with others, trying to find a flaw.

In this way, the five of them chatted while queuing together, and soon they all exchanged their 1 yen shopping vouchers.

Mao Lilanga Suzuki Sonoko only had one shopping voucher, which she exchanged for some cheap jewelry.

Qin Zhibo exchanged his four shopping coupons for some daily necessities, such as electric shavers, shaving foam, shampoo, scarves, toothbrushes, etc.

Several people carried shopping bags and walked down to the parking lot. Qin Zhibo walked in front. When he was about to reach the Mustang convertible, he suddenly heard a scream behind him.

"Ah——" ×2

Qin Zhibo and Amuro Toru hurried back and saw that it was Mao Li Ran and Suzuki Sonoko screaming towards the wall between two cars in the parking lot.

Conan standing by also widened his eyes, his face filled with shock.

There was a dark-skinned hottie, wearing slightly revealing clothes, leaning against the wall, with a bright investigation point above her head that was bleeding.

Chapter 626 Flood washed away the Dragon King Temple

"Sister Xiaolan, call the police immediately!"

Conan shouted immediately, and Qin Zhibo and Amuro Toru took advantage of this time to go over and examine the body.

"It's too late to save her..."

Toru Amuro put down his hand that was stroking the corpse's neck and shook his head regretfully.

Qin Zhibo stood where he was and did not squat down to examine the body.

【Corpse Investigation√】

[Name of the deceased: Aizawa Tae]

[Time of death: 5 minutes ago]

[Cause of death: Death from blunt force trauma to the head]

[Corpse investigation completed, character skill obtained: Social Skill (Charm)]

Social Skills (Charm): This refers to the ability to pass an action through various means, including physical charm, verbal teasing, flattery, or simple personal charm.

Improving this skill will improve your bargaining power and increase the success rate of forcing someone to take a specific action.

Rating: 1

Proficiency: 100/500

(If the appearance value is higher than 50, better results will be achieved; if the appearance value is lower than 50, negative results will be achieved)

-

For Qin Zhibo, this is a brand new skill.

Qin Zhibo’s previous social skills included rhetoric, sharp tongue, and persuasion, but now he has added charm to his skills.

This skill also has a usage threshold. It can only be used if the appearance value is over 50, which means the appearance is above average. Otherwise, it would be like imitating someone ugly.

Qin Zhibo's current appearance is level 70, and the usage threshold has been reached.

It’s just that I acquired this skill a little late. If I had acquired it when I bought furniture just now, I should have been able to try the bargaining part.

After investigating the corpse, the system's task prompts will appear.

-

Side quest: Find out the murderer of this case

Task requirements: time limit 2 hour

Task reward: 500 general skill proficiency, 150 social credit

-

Qin Zhibo is now 1390 proficiency away from the last item of the week, the [Starry Sky Fishing Rod], which can be purchased after about two side quests.

Therefore, Qin Zhibo was determined to succeed in this mission, and the sooner it was completed the better.

He looked around first. The dim underground parking lot provided Qin Zhibo with an excellent view to find the investigation point.

There is an investigation point right on the dark-skinned hottie's feet.

【Survey√】

[Shoes don’t match makeup]

The hint was very brief, and Qin Zhibo guessed that perhaps the shoes had been replaced by the murderer.

However, the replaced shoes still fit the deceased's feet, indicating that the pair of pink flat shoes on her feet also belonged to her.

Why did the murderer change his shoes?

Qin Zhibo fell into deep thought.

……

Inspector Megure, who was handling a case nearby, arrived instantly.

When Inspector Megure saw the familiar faces at the murder scene, he smiled helplessly.

"It's you again..."

Following Inspector Megure were Kogoro Mori, Inspector Sato, and Takagi Wataru. When they saw the victim's appearance, they immediately widened their eyes in disbelief.

Qin Zhibo noticed this abnormality and quickly stepped forward to ask if he had seen the deceased.

Takagi Shigeru shook his head and said, "I haven't seen the deceased, but there have been three such cases of women being attacked recently."

"But this is the first time someone has died..."

Amuro Toru turned his gaze from the corpse to Takagi Wataru and asked, "Can you tell me more about the first three cases?"

When Toru Amuro appeared as a suspect in the Nishitama City case, Takagi Wataru did not know Toru Amuro because he stayed in Tokyo.

Takagi Shigeru glanced at the dark-skinned handsome man in front of him, his eyes a little puzzled, "Could this gentleman... be the deceased's boyfriend?"

Toru Amuro: "Huh?"

Qin Zhibo: "..."

Conan: "..."

Seeing varying degrees of surprise on both of their faces, Takagi Wataru quickly explained, "The deceased was wearing the popular dark-skinned glamour makeup, and this gentleman also wore the same makeup... Aren't they a couple?"

After hearing this, several black lines appeared on Amuro Toru's already dark forehead.

"My skin is natural, not made up..."

"Huh?" Knowing that he had made a big mistake, Takagi Wataru quickly bowed his head and apologized like a little brother, "I'm so sorry, I misunderstood..."

Qin Zhibo stepped forward at the right moment and introduced him: "His name is Amuro Toru, and he's my new detective assistant."

"Assistant Detective!?"

Takagi Wataru was very surprised, but Inspector Megure, who already knew Amuro Toru, didn't find it strange.

"Okay, now let me explain the three previous cases..."

Following Inspector Megure's explanation, Qin Zhibo, Conan, Amuro Toru, Xiaolan and Sonoko all learned about the previous case.

Before this victim, three women had been attacked late at night and hit on the head with baseball bats.

Fortunately, the first three victims were only slightly injured, and two of the women even judged that the murderer was about 150cm tall.

At Megure's glance, Takagi Sho took out photos of the three previous victims from his pocket and handed them to Qin Zhibo.

The three people in the photo are also hot girls. What they have in common is dark skin, makeup, and revealing clothes. It is obvious that they are the same type of people as the deceased this time.

There are also survey points on the photo.

【Survey√】

[The jewelry of the three people seems to come from the same place]

Qin Zhibo stared at the photo carefully. The three people were wearing rings, bracelets and necklaces respectively. The styles of these accessories gave him a sense of déjà vu.

When I turned around, I saw that Suzuki Sonoko was wearing these things on her neck, fingers and wrists.

Qin Zhibo: "..."

As the second daughter of the Suzuki Group, she just wears the cheap ornaments she exchanged at the mall on her hands?

It's too down to earth...

After Qin Zhibo finished his investigation, he skillfully handed the photo to Conan, who was waiting eagerly at his feet.

Toru Amuro: Why give the photo to this child?

Takagi Wataru: My photo...
