The Grammatical Investigator in Conan

Side mission: Find out the murderer of this case

Task requirements: time limit of 30 minutes

Task reward: 500 general skill proficiency, 150 social credit

…

With the examination of the corpse's information completed, a long-lost old friend - a side mission prompt also appeared.

However, compared to previous cases, the time given to solve the case this time was only 30 minutes.

However, according to the conventional three-choice one, it seems that there is still one suspect who has not appeared so far...

Qin Zhibo counted the characters in his mind.

At this time, Cheng Shi and Conan also walked to a position one meter away from the operating bed and watched silently.

Under the background of the operating light and the common scene in the operating room, Chengshi was not so scared.

But when he saw the face of the patient lying on the hospital bed clearly, his body still shivered involuntarily.

Because under the oxygen mask was a patient with sutures on his mouth and blood oozing from the corners of his mouth.

If you want to pass here, you must walk past the operating bed.

It's obvious that this isn't going to be an easy pass for tourists, and there's definitely a scare point.

Conan stood there with his hands in his pockets, already having a premonition that the actor would suddenly sit up from the bed and scare the tourists passing by the bed.

But for such an obvious thing, why didn't Qin Zhibo remind Chengshi?

Before, Qin Zhibo had told Chengshi about every scary point in advance...

"Hello……"

Just as Conan was about to step forward to talk to Qin Zhibo, the operating bed suddenly began to shake.

Gada...

Not only was the operating bed shaking violently, but the body covered under the blue sterile cloth was also shaking wildly, causing extremely rapid ups and downs.

This scene made everyone present tense up, especially Qin Zhibo.

Holy shit!

Isn't he already dead?

Is the system still deceiving people with its thick eyebrows and big eyes?

As the shaking became more intense, the bottom of the sterile cloth was lifted, and a pair of bare feet leaked out from under the sterile cloth.

This revelation didn't matter, a white light spot appeared directly in Qin Zhibo's field of vision.

【Survey√】

[A pair of size 43 feet with red nails painted on them. If you get closer, you might be able to smell something strange]

Qin Zhibo immediately put on the magic extractor and took action with lightning speed, grabbing the ankle of one of the feet.

"ah!?"

This unconventional operation not only shocked Cheng Shi and Conan on the side, but also shocked the people under the operating bed.

At this time, Tsujiei, who was wearing glasses, was lying on a low stool in a tortoise-like posture, with his feet inserted through the hollows between the hospital beds to perform in place of the feet of the deceased Anuna.

Yes, An Cai is indeed dead, too dead to be dead.

And he was killed by Tsujiei.

His murder plan today was just as he said before entering the haunted house. He originally invited Mouri Kogoro to come and watch the performance of the haunted house.

When Kogoro Mouri came in to watch the performance, he entered the operating room in advance to kill Anuna, and acted as Anuna's "foot substitute" to perform a scary performance.

After it was over, he took advantage of the dim environment and blind area of ​​vision to come out from under the operating table, pretending that he had just arrived, and found that An Nai was dead.

This plan was perfect, because Anai went from "birth" to death under the eyes of the famous detective, and because she died of cyanide poisoning, everyone would think that Anai committed suicide.

But the plan couldn't keep up with the change. Before Mouri Kogoro came over today, another famous detective Qin Zhibo took the initiative to show up.

Tsuji Rong was worried that Qin Zhibo had already been here once, and Mouri Kogoro would not come again, and his seamless criminal plan of "finding a famous detective to serve as a witness" would always come to nothing.

Although there is a school anniversary every year, they are now seniors. If they miss today, they will graduate next year.

He had no choice but to follow his companion's advice and let Qin Zhibo come in to experience the haunted house.

But he never expected that just as he was stretching out his feet to show people outside as planned, a force suddenly came out and grabbed his ankles.

Hello!

Are there any qualities left?

Didn’t you know that touching the actor’s body is prohibited during the game?

He wanted to shout like this at this moment, but he couldn't do it.

…

On the other side, Qin Zhibo, no matter what the people under the bed thought, still held tightly to the big foot exposed under the sterile cloth.

"Mr. Qin..." Chengshi said a little embarrassedly, "This is not good..."

Qin Zhibo did not answer Chengshi, but asked Conan.

"Conan, what do you think?"

"Uncle Qin, I can't see..."

Conan stood on tiptoe, but his height was a bit awkward and he still couldn't see the big foot on the bed.

At this time, Cheng Shi took the initiative to come over and hold Conan to his chest like a toy doll. From this height, he could see clearly what was going on on the bed.

Seeing Qin Zhibo grabbing the actor's ankle with his hand, and seeing that the actor playing the patient was obviously a woman, Conan's face turned red.

"Hey, you touch someone's feet like this..."

Before Conan could question it, Qin Zhibo interrupted: "Look carefully, is there any problem here?"

question?

Conan secretly wondered, frowning and staring at the operating bed carefully, but he didn't find anything wrong.

Except for the actress who was lying on the bed with her ankles grabbed by a strange man, she could still lie so calmly, motionless and silent.

It's called Ancai, right?

I approve of your acting skills in playing a dead man.

I, Conan, would like to call you the strongest!

Seeing that Conan didn't see any clues at first, Qin Zhibo gave further hints.

"Come closer and smell it..."

"Ah I?"

Conan was startled.

But before he could answer, Cheng Shi was very obedient and carried Conan closer to the front so that he could smell those "jade feet".

Forehead……

Now that you have come...

Conan's body leaned forward, and when he was still 20 centimeters away from the "Jade Feet", his pointed nose smelled a slightly upward smell.

"There seems to be a smell, a little bit..."

"Is it athlete's foot?"

Conan was a little puzzled. Generally, women are less likely to get athlete's foot than men. This is because women's amount of exercise, pore size, and sweat gland development are not as good as men's, so they are less likely to have smelly feet.

But even if a woman gets athlete's foot, it's not a big problem. Just wear more breathable shoes...

At this time, Conan suddenly had an idea and figured out what the "problem" Qin Zhibo was talking about.

This Ancai's feet have been lying here barefoot for a while, and since she has to receive tourists all the time today, it must be more convenient to wear slippers.

But why do my feet still smell like this now?

One possibility is that you have very severe athlete's foot, so severe that even your bare feet continue to smell.

But if you really have such severe athlete's foot, you wouldn't be able to show your feet so generously and put on nail polish.

Isn't this self-humiliating, letting the whole world know that she has athlete's foot? Let yourself die socially?

Then there is only one other possibility left, this is not her foot at all!

Conan's expression became tense and he turned to look at Qin Zhibo, "You mean..."

"That's right."

Qin Zhibo nodded and interrupted: "The actor's feet have been drying for a long time. Logically speaking, they shouldn't still smell..."

"This is enough to prove that these feet are not the actor's own!"

At this moment, the blood spraying device in the middle of the sterile cloth suddenly started, and a column of blood spurted out like a flying monkey.

Tsujiei, who was lying under the operating bed, really couldn't listen anymore.

He never imagined that his perfect criminal plan would be exposed because of the smell on his feet!

The key is that he doesn't usually have athlete's foot. Maybe it's because he was a little nervous about killing someone for the first time today, so he sweated a little on his soles.

Blanch!

If I had known earlier, I would have just put on slippers today!

In desperation, Tsuji Rong could only find a way to escape from under the bed, otherwise he would be caught and he would not be able to explain it even with a hundred words.

He pressed the switch of the blood-spraying device, hoping to use the terrifying "blood fountain" to scare the people outside and escape while they were relaxing outside.

By then there will be many actors in the haunted house, all scattered in various places, so they may not be suspicious of themselves.

"ah--!"

Things were just like Tsujiei, when the "blood" spurted out, Naomi, who had no psychological preparation, was really shocked.

But Qin Zhibo's expression was unmoved at all, and his left hand was still like an iron clamp, tightly clamping the ankle.

Tsuji Rong tried to use his strength to break free, but his body position was on his back and his feet were stretched out through the hollow on the bed. He did not have enough torque to resist Qin Zhibo's arm strength.

"Baby! Show your face!"

At this time, Qin Zhibo lifted up the sterile cloth covering the patient's body with his big hand, and even the blood spraying device was thrown aside.

Now, the situation under the sterile cloth is exposed.

It turned out that An Cai's legs had been bent aside in a duck-sitting position, and what Qin Zhibo was grabbing was a pair of "ownerless feet" sticking out from under the sheets.

"This is……!"

Conan and Cheng Shi looked shocked.

Qin Zhibo seemed to put his other hand into his pocket, but in fact he pulled out some [Shrouds] from the toolbar and quickly tied the foot to the edge of the operating table.

If one foot was not enough, the other foot was also tied up.

The person under the bed fully understood that he could not escape this time, and after a few seconds of silence, he made a begging sound.

"Brother, please let go of my feet first and I can come out by myself, okay?"

"No, let's let the police come and take a look. Brother Takagi also demonstrated it himself."

With Officer Megure's worrisome understanding ability, it would be difficult to explain this method in words.

It's better to let the prisoner demonstrate it himself.

…

Ten minutes later, the Memu Police Department dispatched police quickly as usual and arrived at the haunted house.

Seeing Qin Zhibo standing beside the operating bed, Mu Mu immediately made a surprised expression.

"Brother Qin?"

"You're here too!"

It's been a while since I saw Qin Zhibo at the crime scene, and Mu Mu still missed him.

There is no other reason, this guy is using it smoothly...

First of all, Brother Qin solves crimes faster than Brother Maori.

Secondly, Brother Maori has to show off every time he solves a case, and he also acts as a riddle man from time to time, testing his IQ as a police officer.

Mumu: Do you know how much psychological pressure I feel every time I can't answer a question or answer it wrong? How shameless!

In contrast, Brother Qin is much better. He knows the prisoner and the method and speaks openly without giving in.

This case was even more direct. The prisoner was caught in action and was "tied" to the operating table, unable to get up or down.

Mu Mu glanced at the lying man under the bed and the deceased on the operating table, and asked with some confusion, "Brother Qin, what's going on?"

"Is such that……"

Under Qin Zhibo's explanation, the Mumu Police Department learned the ins and outs of the case.

As for the demonstration of the technique, the prisoner happened to be tied up at the scene, so even a mediocre intelligence could understand it.

Seeing that this complex technique did not require him to demonstrate it in person, Takagi Sheta thanked Qin Zhibo from the bottom of his heart.

Listen to me, thank you...

Because there was a hole in his sock on the toe, it would be really embarrassing if he had to take off his shoes in public.

…

The case was quickly concluded, and the murderer Tsuji Ei was rescued from under the operating table by the police.

Qin Zhibo took back the [Shroud] from the policeman. Looking at his depressed face, he probably would never dare to watch a bondage-type movie in his life.

Because of the psychological shadow...

"Tsujiei!"

Feng Gu and another girl wearing glasses ran over and asked the murderer, "Obviously we are partners who are determined to make the scariest horror movie together! Why did you do this?"

"right!"

Tsujiei roared at his companion, but he was already handcuffed and was grabbed by the police, "Just because we are a companion, I can't understand what this woman did to Hashiguchi!"

Under Tsuji Rong's explanation, the cause of the case also surfaced.

It turns out that there are five people in this small group in the Literature and Art Department, who came together because of like-mindedness, but one of the boys named "Qiaoguchi" committed suicide a month ago because he was terminally ill.

When the deceased An Cai learned about this, instead of persuading her companions to live strong, she asked them to film the suicide process as a source of inspiration for her.

If it weren't for An Na's instigation, Hashiguchi would still be able to survive until this school anniversary even if he was terminally ill.

Tsujiei also accidentally learned about this incident from An Na, so he secretly planned the murder.

Everyone was a little sad when they heard the motive for the murder.

Qin Zhibo can now confirm that this person named "Ancai" does have some mental problems and should go to Qingshan Mental Hospital for treatment as soon as possible.

In this big version of Mihua, don’t underestimate this kind of mental problem.

Today she dares to encourage others to commit suicide just to see "death", and tomorrow she will dare to kill someone herself for this reason.

"Okay, if you have anything else to say, go back to the police station..."

The policeman pushed Tsuji Rong to go out, but Tsuji Rong turned back and looked at Qin Zhibo.

"I'm just a little short. It would be fine if I wore slippers today..."

Tsuji Rong was still thinking about his perfect crime plan. He had been thinking hard for more than half a month, but he didn't expect to be ruined by such a small mistake.

He felt a little unhappy, which was normal.

But Qin Zhibo calmly shook his head.

"No, even if your feet don't smell, I can still confirm at a glance that you are hiding under the bed..."

"Huh?" Tsuji Rong was confused and asked, "Why?"

"Brother, your big feet were completely naked the moment you exposed them. Do you really think I'm a fool?"

Qin Zhibo's tone was very helpless.

Conan next to him suddenly became stunned and understood everything as if he was enlightened.

yes!

The ratio of human feet to height is almost 1/7. Those feet are at least size 43. They are definitely not female feet!

It turns out that you can see the problem at a glance!

Conan felt relieved, with a faint smile on his lips.

Unexpectedly, I didn't observe carefully enough and didn't find such an obvious loophole.

But then, his smile froze again, and a new bright spot emerged in his heart.

That's not right~

Since the length of the feet can directly distinguish the murderer from the deceased, why should I smell smelly feet?

Lao Qin!

You bastard!

happy New Year!
