The Grammatical Investigator in Conan

Qin Zhibo was surprised when he saw the mission prompt that popped up. He was clearly not at the scene of the murder...

However, if you think about it carefully, this task triggering mechanism may not be strongly bound to whether you are at the scene, but depends on whether you have the necessary conditions to solve the case.

If Qin Zhibo didn't know about a case, there would be no possibility of solving it.

Or there are only a few clues in a case, and other clues are completely impossible to obtain, and the case cannot be solved.

In short, the cases triggered by the system are always ones that Qin Zhibo is capable of completing, and he will not deliberately put forward an impossible task to force others into difficulty.

That is to say, can I solve this case without being on the ghost ship?

This is quite a challenge for Qin Zhibo, because he can only listen to Minase Haruomeng's intelligence and cannot investigate with his own eyes, which is an epic weakening of himself.

Although there is a [Guard Totem] hanging on the image of the King in Yellow for surveillance, the straight-line distance from the ghost ship sailing in the Pacific has already exceeded 5 kilometers, and the Guard Totem has lost its function.

Fortunately, Minase Harumu also has the advantage of being a spirit. He can walk through walls and fly up and down at will to conduct investigations.

And the information she saw in the toilet just now was also very intriguing.

…

At this time, the elimination of Mouri Kogoro on the ghost ship continued, but was refuted by the crew members.

"Since this devil card was prepared by the staff, it is not a problem to prepare a few."

A staff member wearing glasses quickly shook his head and explained: "No, those tarot cards were all written by Mr. Fukuura to prevent anyone from using them indiscriminately. It is impossible for our staff to prepare these cards in advance, such as those used last year. It’s just playing cards…”

Another staff member also echoed, “Before he asked the question, several guests came to the deck first because they said they wanted to see the sea, but because the light was too dark, I didn’t know which guests they were. "

Mouri Kogoro shed a drop of sweat in embarrassment. It can only be said that it perfectly confirmed the comment that Belmode gave him in the letter - an incompetent detective.

Ms. Medusa began to make a more rational analysis, "In this case, the murderer is very likely to be one of the seven of us who got the devil card."

At Ms. Medusa's suggestion, the suspects were narrowed down to seven people, the original seven demon comrades.

Everyone returned below the cabin, and under the gaze of countless guests and staff, the seven people who had received the devil card showed their tarot cards.

However, everyone had already taken out their devil cards, except for the mummy, who was rummaging around in his pocket and couldn't find his own card.

"Ah?"

"No, it should be here..."

The mummy rummaged through her pockets and trouser pockets, but couldn't find her devil card anyway. She could only speculate that the card might have been dropped somewhere.

But Mouri Kogoro, who has always been the most particular about evidence, of course would not listen to his words and said bluntly: "You wouldn't deliberately pierce your tarot cards with arrows to get rid of the suspicion of murder, right?"

"But you don't know that the devil cards made by Mr. Fukuura are the only seven cards in the world?"

"Don't talk nonsense, of course I know about this! Because I am a staff member of the movie!"

The mummy saw that she could no longer hide the matter, and would go to jail if she kept it secret anymore, so she quickly confessed.

He is the staff member Fukuura placed among the guests to evaluate their acting skills. In addition, most of the mummies at today's banquet are film staff.

Two more pink-haired mummies and a short, fat mummy stood over and nodded, corroborating this mummy's statement.

In order to achieve the effect of the party game, the three people not only had to observe the guests' acting skills, but also had to do their own makeup by Fukuura, and they also had to do one thing prescribed by Fukuura.

The mummies in the demon group must drink a specific cocktail.

Pink-haired mummies must wear the red hair on their heads at all times.

The squat mummy must eat chicken dishes.

…

On the other side, Qin Zhibo was sitting in the driver's seat, driving and listening to the investigation on the ghost ship.

Although Mouri Kogoro is not good at reasoning, he has worked as a police officer after all, so routine questioning is still no problem.

Just based on the clues obtained from the inquiry, he can often deduce a wrong result that is independent of the answer.

This is also an ability.

As for the situation of the case, Qin Zhibo also knows almost everything.

The mummy's devil card was not on him, and the dead man happened to have a devil card that was shot through by an arrow. Minase Youmu happened to witness a werewolf stealing the mummy's devil card while he was unconscious.

The murderer is undoubtedly a werewolf, and he wants to put the blame on the mummy in this way.

It's just that Minase Harumu's nonsense cannot be used as testimony, because she can only see this because she is a ghost. There is no reason for normal people to see what is going on in the toilet cubicle.

Unless it's the perverted principal who sticks his head on the toilet partition.

Now that the identity of the killer is known, all that remains is undoubtedly the search for evidence.

If you are at the scene, you can walk around and look around. If you find the investigation point, you are likely to find evidence, but this method is not feasible now.

Now I can only rely on myself to deduce where the evidence may be, and then let Minase Yomeng go and verify it.

Qin Zhibo was thinking in his mind while driving, and finally decided to let Minase Yangmeng go to the mast to take a look.

"If I'm not mistaken, there will be a chicken there."

Under the command of Qin Zhibo, Minase Yomeng once again left his body, passed through the thick deck, flew to the mast, and quickly flew back to the body of "Qin Jibo".

"It's just like you said, what a beautiful big cock!"

"Snowy white~"

Minase Yomu floated on the mast and indeed saw a big rooster with white feathers and red crown tied to the observation deck.

Due to the angle, people on the deck couldn't see it, but Brother Chicken was indeed here all the time, watching the ghost captain fall after being hit by an arrow.

There is no doubt that the chicken will be sent to the end.

Qin Zhibo smiled slightly, as expected.

In fact, after listening to the introductions of the three mummy staff, he roughly understood the mystery of the Ghost Captain.

The three were asked to perform specific actions, presumably to mislead the guests.

Since they want to mislead, the behavior of these three people must be able to infer the same prompt.

The red hair on the head, eating chicken dishes, and drinking cocktails can easily remind people of the word "chicken".

Needless to say about the latter two, the red hair on the top of the head is like the comb of a rooster, which is a morphological reminder.

It's just that Captain Ghost said there is only one "human", and only one of their three mummies is the answer to the party game.

However, without personally experiencing this case, Qin Zhibo really couldn't recall what exactly happened on the ship.

You can solve the case just by listening to the sound. It's time to play "The Sound of Mystery", and it's a hell difficulty version that can only be listened to once.

But since the system triggered the task, there should be a solution.

"Go and take a closer look. Is there anything else on the observation tower?"

"If the ghost captain was shot by a crossbow, he probably wasn't shot while standing on the deck..."

The general range of crossbow arrows is 50 meters, and this is the range on flat ground.

If you are standing on the deck, the mast of the ghost ship must be at least 30 meters. When shooting an arrow upward, you have to fight against gravity and angle at the same time, so you are definitely not shooting from the deck.

The killer werewolf must climb to the top of the mast to kill, and he may leave some evidence.

Qin Zhibo drove through an intersection, and Minase Yangmeng flew back again.

"There seems to be something shiny on the observation deck, something that looks like broken glass..."

Debris?

Qin Zhibo fell into thinking. While driving, he deduced in his mind the circumstances under which the werewolf might come into contact with broken glass.

The werewolf switched his identity to the mummy in the toilet. The purpose should be to help him create an alibi, and he would take the opportunity to kill someone on the mast of the deck.

It was only possible that he stepped on something during this process and accidentally brought it to the deck.

Glass shards...

Suddenly, Qin Zhibo thought that if the mummy ran out of the toilet and accidentally looked into the mirror after passing by the bathroom, he would probably find that he was wearing a werewolf mask on his head.

In this case, the mirror must not exist.

"Yang Meng, take a look at the bathroom mirror. Are they all broken?"

"Yang Meng received it."

The waiting time was shorter this time. Yang Meng flew back soon and informed that it was indeed the case. The mirrors in the toilet were all broken.

Qin Zhibo smiled slightly, if this is the case, the case will basically be clear.

"Yang Meng, go to the deck, let's solve the case!"

"Wow! Uncle, you are my god!"

Minase Harumu screamed and controlled the King in Yellow, slowly walking towards the deck.

This scene was seen by Hattori Heiji, an invisible man who had just returned from investigating the case in the toilet.

He already has some clues about the case, but he still needs to have conclusive evidence.

I had just checked the toilet pit and found no useful evidence. I was about to go to the deck to take a look, but I happened to see the King in Yellow walking towards the deck.

Um?

What does this person want to do?

Hattori remembered that Conan asked him to pay attention to the king in yellow, and quickly followed behind.

The obvious "malice" conveyed by Hattori was once again captured by Minase Yomu's super power.

Stopping the body of "Qin Jibo" on the steps, Minase Youmeng's head pointed back and looked at the invisible man behind.

"Uncle, the invisible man is here again."

Qin Zhibo thought for a second and replied decisively, "It doesn't matter, let him follow."

Just like that, Hattori who was following behind was worried that his footsteps were too heavy and might be heard by the King in Yellow who was standing in front of him. The King in Yellow stepped up the steps alone again.

Didn't you find it?

This guy is so weird...

Hattori didn't understand why the other party exuded such a strange temperament. Obviously, the actor selection activity had been forced to end, and the king in yellow had no need to do these small movements and had to climb the stairs slowly step by step.

In Hattori's view, the other party's slow and graceful movements were due to the need for performance.

But in fact, Minase Youmu just couldn't control the bait puppet "Qin Kihiro" well, so he had no choice but to slow down his actions.

After the King in Yellow climbed onto the deck, he came to the unguarded ghost captain's body and picked up the captain's mask lying on the ground next to it.

Hattori Heiji was puzzled by this behavior.

But what followed was a grand prize for confusing behavior. The King in Yellow held the ghost captain's mask in his hand and crawled slowly towards the observation deck of the mast.

Climb and climb, climb and crawl——

On the silent deck, Hattori Heiji stood below, raising his head, looking, looking, looking -

…

In Judy's black car, "Haihara Ai" sitting in the passenger seat calmly glanced at Judy next to her.

At this time, Judy was holding the steering wheel and humming a tune softly, seemingly in a good mood.

As a good brother of Hattori Heiji, Conan now really wants to know what is going on on the ghost ship.

Although he knew that a case had occurred, he was far away and could not investigate in person, so he had to rely on his good brothers for everything.

He trusted Hattori Heiji's reasoning ability.

But he was a little worried about Hattori Heiji's impulsive character.

If this guy rashly goes to confront the "King in Yellow" alone and encounters any danger, he will be in trouble.

It was precisely because he was worried about this happening that Conan asked his mother to follow him on the boat.

But Hattori Heiji had not spoken for a long time, and no one else could be heard around him.

Could it be...

A bad thought flashed through Conan's mind, and he wanted to talk to Hattori Heiji to confirm his safety.

But first, he had to make it clear to Judy, who was sitting next to him.

"Now, I want to ask you something...are you willing to listen?"

Judy turned her head and looked at Haiyuan Ai. She was startled for a moment, and then she smiled evilly, "Sure~little sister Haiyuan Ai."

By now, Conan had almost figured out Judy's background. He was not afraid and asked directly: "Can you tell me, are you from the FBI?"

Upon hearing this, Judy looked completely shocked.

Because she never imagined that the little girl in front of her would actually reveal her past.

And his eyes were so...calm.

Seeing that Judy was in shock for a while and unable to recover, Conan said directly to himself: "You FBI people have traveled thousands of miles to Japan to arrest the 'new doctor', right?"

"Or should I say, actress Chris Wynyard?"

Conan's words shocked Judy again, her pupils kept dilating, and she was speechless for a while.

She didn't expect that the "little sister" in front of her, whom Akai Shuichi wanted to take special care of, actually knew so much secret information.

Even the true identity of the "new doctor" is known...

After a few seconds, Judy finally regained her professionalism and asked seriously with a stern face.

"who are you?"

At this time, Conan felt that there was no need to pretend anymore, so he took off the mask-shaped voice changer on his face with one hand and restored his original voice.

"My name is Edogawa Conan, and I am a detective."
