The Grammatical Investigator in Conan

Inubushi City, living room.

When Mouri Kogoro asked Maori Ran to bring the shepherd dog secretly raised and trained by Inufushiko, it can be concluded that the magic dog case has nothing to do with the "curse".

However, when explaining the specific techniques, Mouri Kogoro, who had not seen the crime and the props with his own eyes, still made some mistakes.

"The thing that left the flaming footprints was, of course, the coal briquettes tied around the dog's neck!"

"Inufushi only needs to lay a deflating lighter on the road in advance, and then let the dog out, and the dog will run there following the smell of gas released by the lighter."

"The burning briquettes attached to the dogs would ignite passing lighters, making it appear as if everything they walked through was on fire."

"But..." Inufuchen also frowned and asked in confusion: "If it was a lighter, wouldn't it be discovered later?"

"But when the 'Devil Dog' appeared several times before, no lighter was found at the scene..."

"That's right..." Inufukako also agreed.

"ah?!"

Mouri Kogoro's face was startled, and he was suddenly dumbfounded, and his mind quickly went through his memories.

The method of committing the crime this time was not deduced by him. It was just what Conan said in the forest, and it was "certified as the correct solution" by Qin Zhibo.

However, when I listen to other people’s reasoning, I don’t always understand it that deeply.

At this moment, when faced with questions about the details of the technique, I naturally felt timid.

While Mouri Kogoro was scratching his head and looking back on his memories, an Osaka accent appeared at the corner between the living room and the corridor.

"It's a piano wire..."

"He used piano wire to connect the lighters one by one, and tied a ring at the end of the piano wire. The dog would hold the ring in its mouth and take all the lighters away."

"He Ye and the others saw the flames beating on the ground as if they were alive and making a 'clicking' sound. It was also for this reason..."

Everyone in the living room followed the voice and found that it was Hattori Heiji who was holding the corner of the wall and reasoning with half of his body exposed.

"Hattori?" Mao Lilan was a little surprised, "Aren't you resting in your room?"

Toyama and Ye supported half of Hattori Heiji's body, complaining a little: "Really~ I already told him to leave the case alone and leave it all to the uncle, but he refused to listen..."

Hattori Heiji rolled his eyes at Toyama Kazuha next to him, and in turn responded to Kazuha with a complaining tone, "Idiot, you finally solved the case, how could you let the worker..."

He was about to say "Let Kudo steal the show alone", but when he looked around the living room, Conan was not there. Mouri Kogoro reasoned with his eyes open.

As we all know, Mouri Kogoro's reasoning ability is very weak with his eyes open, not ordinary weak.

Eh?

That guy Kudo isn't here this time?

That's not his character...

Hattori Heiji thought he knew his good friend very well, and he would definitely conduct his own reasoning on such a "wonderful" case.

But where has he gone?

While Hattori Heiji was wondering, Mouri Kogoro looked at Hattori Heiji's kidney deficiency and asked with some concern: "Osaka boy, are you okay with your health?"

"I don't think you just haven't had enough rest. Do you want to go to the hospital for a checkup?"

After all, he is the crown prince of the Osaka Prefectural Police. As the host, Mouri Kogoro must not allow any problems to arise on his own territory.

With the support of Toyama Kazuha, Hattori Heiji moved forward and sat down on the chair.

He put his upper body on the back of the chair and waved his hands, "It's okay, it's okay..."

The anesthesia needle invented by this doctor is really powerful...

"By the way, where is the reasoning behind the case?"

Mouri Kogoro looked a little dull. Why did he say that he would be the protagonist today and then change his mind?

"I've almost finished talking about the techniques, but I'm just missing the motivation..."

"Motive..."

Hattori Heiji groaned, he had nothing to say about the motive, because compared to the method, the motive of this case was really obvious.

Many parts of this case are similar to Sherlock Holmes' famous story "The Hound of the Baskervilles."

"As for the motive, let the murderer himself speak for himself."

As he said that, Hattori Heiji looked at Inufushi Akira lying on the sofa, with a faint smile on his lips.

"Because no one knows better than himself what the motive for murder is..."

After Hattori Heiji's reminder, everyone's attention turned to Inufushi Chiko.

Zhihuang, who was lying on it, opened his eyes at some point, and tears from the corners of his eyes flowed between his temples and temples.

"Facing this castle filled with memories of Ms. Suochen who was even gentler than my biological mother, I really don't want to lose it..."

"But the inheritance tax is too high, so in order to increase my share of the inheritance..."

Zhihuang's body was still unable to move, so he lay down and spoke out his motives.

The remaining three adopted children also had a look of realization on their faces when they heard Inufushi Chiaki's motives.

Regarding the issue of inheritance, their eight adopted children had private discussions.

The four adopted children who were killed all advocated selling Inubushi City in advance for money while Ms. Saomi was still alive.

Because Japan’s inheritance law stipulates that inheritance tax must be paid before you can inherit the inheritance, which can be up to 55% of the amount of the inheritance.

Obviously, the value of Inubushi City has reached the level applicable to 55%, and none of the eight adopted children have so much money.

However, as long as Ms. Saomi sells Inubushi City to eight people for cents while she is still alive, this problem can be avoided.

The four people who objected believed that Suo Chen was kind to his adopted children, and it was unreasonable to propose selling the house while he was still alive.

Zhihuang's idea is to kill four people and increase the share he can inherit. In this way, even if he borrows loan sharks to pay inheritance tax, he can still pay back the debt afterwards.

Because the inheritance left by the Inubushi family not only includes real estate, but also cash in bank accounts.

Hearing Inufushi Chiko revealed the motive for the murder, Inufuka Kaoko and Zen also looked shocked.

Because they didn't expect that it was because of their unbearable feelings that they could still be standing here alive today.

Even when the other four adopted children proposed this idea, they were not completely unmoved.

When there is really no other way, this is also a way...

"But...why did you kill Yukihime?"

"Didn't she also refuse to sell Inufucheng at the beginning?" Kaozi asked.

Zhihuang glanced at her sideways and said calmly: "Because my mother once said that the names of us adopted children were arranged by our father according to the 'Eight Virtues', but Xingji's name is not..."

"And when my mother first fell ill, she was picking wild vegetables with Yukihime..."

Everyone looked surprised and turned to look at Xing Ji.

Because these contents coincide with Mouri Kogoro's initial reasoning.

Xing Ji, who had regained her mobility at this time, was also surprised, "But my mother only changed my name after I came here!"

"I originally took my birth mother's surname, Jing Muti..."

What?

Hattori Heiji frowned slightly, a sharp look flashed in his eyes.

The combination of wood and di is "ti", one of the eight virtues.

But Ms. Suo Chen knew clearly that she had changed Xing Ji's name, but she still told Chihuang that there was something wrong with Xing Ji's name.

Could it be that...

Are there any other secrets?

…

Meanwhile, the master bedroom.

Conan suddenly burst in from the door and shouted.

"you misunderstood!"

"This is not your husband's real intention at all!"

"Actually, Ms. Yukihime and the others were all entrusted by Chairman Inubushi to come and protect you..."

Conan looked heavy, recalling the past events that Hattori Heiji and others heard from Yukihime in the corridor last night.

In his last letter, Chairman Inubushi wrote, "I don't have much time left. If you are willing to forgive me, please come to the Inubushi family to protect the princess here."

"...That's what the letter said, and Miss Yukihime said that others seemed to have received the exact same letter."

"Although you are infertile, in Chairman Inubushi's heart, you are still his 'princess'..."

After listening to Conan's words, tears flowed down the side of Suo Chen's wrinkled cheeks.

Qin Zhibo just stood aside and looked at her silently, not knowing whether she was regretting it or something else.

But in the final analysis, this case originated from a misunderstanding.

Chairman Inubushi cuckolded his wife all his life before he died, and before his death, he actually made a tender drama of "finding a bunch of illegitimate children to protect you for me."

And the wife also completely exploded after a lifetime of swallowing her anger, transforming from a kind princess into a veritable cursed mother-in-law.

But in the final analysis, it was Xuanjun Qizhang's Secret Scripture and Liao Dan who caused the trouble.

This is not a huge force that humans can easily control.

This was the case with the Inu Fuku family back then, and it is the same with the Inu Fuku family now.

"well……"

Qin Zhibo sighed, put his hands in his pockets, and walked out of the bedroom.

Outside the glass corridor, the rising sun spreads its warm rays onto the earth.

Qin Zhibo stretched himself out in the sunshine, but his tiredness urgently needed to find a soft and warm bed to "vent".

At this time, Conan, who looked complicated, walked out from behind and closed the sliding door of the master bedroom.

"Next..."

Before Conan could say anything, Qin Zhibo interrupted him first.

"Let's go see what's going on with Maori first..."

Conan: "..."

He raised his eyes to the side and glanced at Qin Zhibo with a meaningful look.

Although all the contents of this case have been explored clearly, Conan himself still has many doubts about the solving process of the case.

The first thing to bear the brunt is naturally how Qin Zhibo found out that the "curse" in the case was real.

If he hadn't happened to see the dark monster like a "hound" appear, he would never have imagined that there was a supernatural force behind this case.

What's more, I didn't expect that behind the apparent murderer Inufushi Akira, there was also the behind-the-scenes murderer Saomi controlling the situation.

Suo Chen took advantage of Zhihuang's gratitude to him and prompted him to have murderous intentions towards other adopted children.

Then, taking advantage of Kudo Shinichi and Yukihime's desire to find the murderer, he planted a "hound" curse on them.

He even used the beads on the bracelet to imply that Chihuang was the murderer and asked the detectives and police to arrest him.

The only pity is that with Mouri Kogoro's wisdom, he did not understand her meaning, and instead thought that Yukihime was the murderer.

It's a pity that people can't do anything about Suo Chen's actions, and even the police can't convict her.

And what’s going on with the “Hound” curse?

Even though he found the murderer and solved the case, Conan was not in a good mood now, and was even more depressed than when he came.

Now he wanted to discuss it urgently with Qin Zhibo and sort out the whole process and what he knew.

However, Qin Zhibo did not give him this opportunity.

…

The two came to the living room, and after taking a look at everyone's expressions and positions, they knew that the reasoning of the case here had been settled.

The next step is to wait for the rookie police officer from Gunma County to come over and once again add the ready-made achievements to his career resume.

"Work...Conan?"

Hattori Heiji glanced at Conan who came with Qin Zhibo, and was a little surprised by the combination of the two.

Seeing his good friend calling him, Conan very wisely walked to Hattori Heiji who was still unable to move.

"What's up?"

Hattori Heiji put his hands on the back of the chair and whispered: "I feel like something is wrong with this case..."

"Chiko Inufushi got the idea that there is something wrong with Miss Yukihime's name from Ms. Saomi."

"But Ms. Yukihime's name was obviously changed by Ms. Saomi. It's impossible for her not to remember..."

Conan's eyes suddenly froze.

Hattori Heiji didn't notice the abnormal expression on his good friend's face, and continued to reason on his own, "Is Ms. Sasomi also involved in this case?"

"But the problem is that now that the case has been reasoned to this extent, there is no evidence against the old woman at all..."

"If this is the worst case scenario, I'm afraid that Uncle Zhihuang is just being used..."

Conan: I'm already sweating...

Qin Zhibo listened with his ears open: This kid is not stupid...

But just reasoning to this extent is of no use, it just adds to worries.

Even if I were to interrogate Inufushi Chiko, he would not be able to say something like "Saomi instigated him."

The case ends here...

But why? I have found the real murderer, but the system task still doesn’t prompt me?

At this level, there won’t be any reversal later, right?

Don't tell me that Chairman Inubushi is still alive?

That's a big joke...

While Qin Zhibo was laughing at himself with all kinds of impossible assumptions in his heart, hurried footsteps came from the corridor.

"Oh no!"

Xing Ji looked horrified and shouted to everyone in the living room who was cleaning up the aftermath.

"Mother, she..."

"She has passed away!"

At the same time, a system prompt appeared on the right side of Qin Zhibo's field of vision.
