Chapter 286: The unaccustomed White Horse Detective
Fujisawa Toshiaki had a look of great interest on his face, but before he could introduce himself, there was a commotion downstairs.
"Is that the boss?"
"What is he doing?"
The noise downstairs was so loud that everyone upstairs heard it and thought they had found the hotel owner, so they all ran downstairs.
As soon as they ran to the living room on the first floor, everyone saw that the boss's car had started, and the low sound of the engine was accompanied by the slowly moving car body, heading towards the cliff.
"Wait a minute...it's a cliff over there!"
Everyone stood there questioning the direction of the car. Conan's eyes changed, and he had an unknown premonition in his heart.
Qin Zhibo, who had been mentally prepared for a long time, also noticed something strange, pushed open the glass window, climbed over the window skillfully with Conan, and chased in the direction of the car.
The two detectives, one tall and one short, rushed out of the hotel. When they had run more than five meters away, the wide-eyed Detective Bai Ma realized belatedly and jumped out of the window to follow.
It's not that Detective White Horse's reaction is slow, it's that Detective White Horse has just returned to Tokyo from London and is still a bit acclimatized and has not adapted to the rhythm of solving crimes here.
In London, cases are usually brought to Scotland Yard in the form of case files.
At this time, the case has usually occurred for at least three days or even a week. After all, it is impossible for the London police to ignore all cases and hand them over directly to Detective White Horse.
At least give it a symbolic struggle...
But in Japan, crimes usually happen in the face, and the murderer devises all kinds of tricks to kill people in front of them, regardless of whether there is a famous detective at the scene or not.
After killing the person, he did not run away, but stayed at the scene to wait for the elimination method.
Some criminals even think that famous detectives can speak in front of the police, so they choose to find famous detectives as witnesses to their schemes.
Of course Detective White Horse has never seen such a stunned criminal.
Including this time, Detective Baima, who has reviewed countless cases, rarely sees this kind of ongoing case with his own eyes, so his reactions are naturally lagging behind those of Qin Zhibo and Conan.
But I believe that Hakuba Tan will be able to adapt to the rhythm here after staying in Tokyo for another ten days and a half.
If Baima Tan lives in Mihua Town, which has "simple folk customs", then the adaptation time will be shorter...
Beside the slowly moving car, Qin Zhibo and Conan took the lead and ran next to the car.
Conan nimbly grabbed the rearview mirror like a monkey and looked into the interior of the car.
The dashboard inside the car was covered with a white cloth, and the boss cosplayed as Sherlock Holmes was holding the steering wheel with both hands. The low brim of his hat made it impossible to see his eyes clearly.
At the same time, you can hear the faint "whirring" sound of wind in the carriage.
Qin Zhibo, who was following the car, noticed the obvious investigation point on the hotel owner through the car glass.
Investigation points that can be seen without physical contact can only be...
【Corpse Investigation√】
[Name of deceased: Hiroyuki Kanaya]
[Time of death: 24 hours ago]
[Cause of death: strangulation]
[Corpse investigation completed, acquired skills: Arts and Crafts (Writing)]
[Acquire repeated skills, converted into 1000 points of proficiency of the skill]
[Art and craftsmanship have been improved, current level 3, proficiency: 100/4000]
Relevant prompts appeared on the left side of the field of vision, but Qin Zhibo had no time to calculate his own gains and losses for the time being, because the car at a constant speed suddenly accelerated.
The car suddenly accelerated at a certain moment, which made Conan unable to calmly observe the situation inside the car. The most important thing was to save people!
"Uncle! Uncle!"
"Stop the car quickly!"
Conan circled the rearview mirror with one hand, slapped the glass with the other hand, and shouted to the people inside with his loudest voice.
But before the hotel owner inside could respond, Qin Zhibo hugged Conan in his arms and stopped where he was.
"What are you doing? He will die if this continues!"
Conan roared and questioned, while Qin Zhibo said calmly: "He is already dead."
"But he was still accelerating the car just now!"
"He's already too cold..."
Qin Zhibo emphasized his opinion again, leaving Conan unable to refute for a while.
At this time, the white horse detective behind also followed up. He just heard Qin Zhibo's judgment and frowned, but chose to follow Qin Zhibo and stand where he was.
In this way, everyone watched as the hotel car drove to the edge of the cliff and fell, and a violent explosion sounded below the cliff.
boom--
The sound of explosions pierced the silent night sky.
...
Qin Zhibo was holding Conan, and White Horse Detective was standing next to him. The three of them stood by the cliff and looked at the fire point under the cliff.
With the explosion and the flames, it is estimated that the hotel owner will not even have any scum left...
Fortunately, I acted quickly and investigated the condition of the corpse first.
Although the skills acquired this time are repetitive, and they are writing skills that I cannot use at the moment, it is better than nothing.
Maybe one day, I can really become the kind of great writer who can "make a god out of one book".
It's just that Qin Zhibo doesn't know how many lives will be sacrificed behind this book...
Conan, on the other hand, stared blankly at the flames under the cliff, with lingering fear in his heart.
I was trying to save someone just now, but my body was hooked on the rearview mirror.
If you fail to grasp the timing of jumping out of the car and are carried under the cliff by the acceleration given by the car, your life will be lost.
Qin Zhibo just saved his life...
Being saved by a competitor made Lao Ke blush, and he was quietly held in Qin Zhibo's arms, like a large toy doll.
Baima Tan's pupils reflected the flames under the cliff, and he frowned at the same time.
Although I have read countless cases, this is the first time I have witnessed such tragedy with my own eyes.
What makes Detective Baima more concerned now is why Qin Zhibo said that the man was dead just now.
If the car has been moving forward at a constant speed, there may be something against the accelerator, but if the car accelerates midway, it can only be because the person sitting in the car stepped on the accelerator.
According to this line of reasoning, the people in the car were at least alive at the moment they stepped on the accelerator.
But Qin Zhibo was so sure that he was dead through the car glass...
Does Qin Zhibo have any special powers?
This is absolutely impossible!
This world is scientific!
There must be a reason why he said this at that time!
Could it be...
Baima's eyes widened for a moment, and then he smiled like "I already know the whole truth."
...
After a while, other people from the hotel came from the door, looking at the fire with excitement.
Everyone present except Mao Lilan was a fan of reasoning, so they began to reason about the case in front of them.
Some people speculated that it was suicide, while others speculated that it was homicide. The murderer had set up a device to make the car start on its own.
However, these claims were opposed by others as soon as they were put forward and were completely untenable.
Only Detective White Horse showed a wise smile on his face after everyone's reasoning was frustrated.
"hehe..."
"Your reasoning is completely wrong. It's up to me to make everything clear to the world!"
Baima Tan, who has extensive experience in reasoning in front of media cameras, looked calm and confident, which shocked Lao Ke who was squatting on the ground to investigate tire marks.
Conan is very familiar with such expressions and words. It seems that the truth has been revealed!
Conan's eyes widened, astonished at how this person, who was also a "high school detective", could be so good.
Qin Zhibo on the side was careless and didn't pay much attention to what Detective Baima said.
Obviously, this "acclimated" detective has not been able to adapt to the rhythm of solving crimes here.
This is the investigation stage!
Any final conclusions made during the investigation phase can only be ruled out as exclusionary methods.
