Outside the banquet hall, Qin Zhibo was following the unscrupulous reporter with a big belly.
Judging from the name floating above his head, his name is Ed Mike, and he is not Japanese.
After provoking it in full view of everyone, he went alone to the guest room in the middle of the fourth floor, took out his room card, and entered.
As far as Qin Zhibo knows, this hotel will not officially open until today.
This person got the room card in advance, which should be a bonus for getting the invitation letter.
The person who not only has the power to issue invitations at will, but also has room cards, should be one of the three owners of the hotel.
This is actually an invitation to death.
Qin Zhibo threw a guard totem that had just cooled down into the room, allowing him to monitor the situation inside.
In the room, Ed Mike was sitting at the dining table, enjoying a sushi meal alone.
That thumb-sucking expression of enjoyment was completely unaware that his death was imminent.
Of course, Qin Zhibo would not rush into the room at this time and say that someone wants to kill you.
There is a story in the classic comic "Doraemon" in which Nobita learned in advance that his fat tiger father would be hit by a car through a time machine.
As a result, Nobita went to the scene of the car accident and pushed Fat Tiger's father down in advance, but was beaten by Fat Tiger instead.
From this story, in addition to knowing "Fat Tiger = Newborn", we can also learn that the so-called precognition is just the understanding of the current world line.
When the "butterfly flutters its wings", the world line will change, and the previously predicted content will no longer exist.
Moreover, some people are full of bad water, and even Jesus cannot keep them, Conan said.
After placing the guard totem, Qin Zhibo returned to the banquet hall.
The interactive session here has just ended, and the staff is clearing the place to allow all guests to exit in an orderly manner.
Conan met the Maori family and the Hattori couple head-on, and was a little surprised to see Qin Zhibo just back from outside.
"Uncle Qin, where have you been?"
Qin Zhibo said casually: "I went to the toilet, what? Is the reception over now?"
Mouri Kogoro shook his head and said angrily: "It seems that we are going to do some outdoor activities and let everyone go out."
"Really, how can there be any reason to invite people in and then kick them out?"
In the first half, Mouri Kogoro just chatted with the female star and hadn't started eating yet. He was a little worried that he wouldn't be able to repay the fare.
Qin Zhibo glanced at the three sports stars on the stage, seemingly discussing something.
Qin Zhibo didn't agree with this, just to see what tricks he would play next.
After arriving outside the building, Mao Lilan took out the walkie-talkie in her hand and told her what Ray Katis told her.
It turned out that the three of them wanted to use the lights in the hotel rooms to piece together a letter "K" on the building.
Ray Catis, who plays football, is in charge of the third and fourth floors.
Mike Nord, who plays baseball, is in charge of the fifth and sixth floors.
Rika Barre, who plays boxing, is in charge of the seventh and eighth floors.
The three of them performed their respective duties, and under the command of Mao Lilan, they were working on turning the lights on and off in an orderly manner.
While everyone was looking up at the hotel building, only Qin Zhibo had his eyes closed and was observing Reporter Ed in the guest room on the fourth floor.
At this time, the lights in Ed's room had been turned off, and he was sitting motionless on the sofa in the living room, as if waiting for something.
Suddenly, the doorbell rang outside the door.
Ed stood up and opened the door, but didn't see anyone.
"Hey? What are you doing?"
Ed opened the door and shouted towards the corridor, but what he heard in response was a gunshot.
Pia——
Ed was shot, his swollen body was holding on to the door frame, and he was still struggling to run into the room.
But the killer chased him directly to the door and shot Ed again in the body.
Then, he quickly threw the gun next to Ed's body and closed the door.
Qin Zhibo saw that face clearly.
It's Ray Katis.
While everyone was immersed in the surprise of the hotel's light show, a discordant sound suddenly came from the air.
Pia——
In less than two seconds, there was another gunshot, accompanied by the sound of shattering glass.
Pia——
Afterwards, three sports stars in the hotel popped their heads out of the windows.
Rika Barre: "What's wrong?"
Mike Nord: "What happened?"
Ray Katis: "Was that a gunshot?"
The "K" of 3K became the "K" of Kill.
Everyone present was shocked and at a loss for a moment. Only Conan and Hattori Heiji were the first to react, with stern expressions on their faces.
"He Ye, tell the three of them not to move around in the room!"
Hattori Heiji warned and hurriedly ran upstairs with Conan.
At this time, Mouri Kogoro remembered that he was also a detective and hurriedly chased after him.
After Mouri Kogoro had already run away, Qin Zhibo, who was standing there, slowly opened his eyes and walked slowly into the building.
Conan and Hattori Heiji, who were one step ahead, quickly ran to the room with broken glass and saw the obese patient lying in a pool of blood.
Conan hurriedly walked in and took a look, only to find that it was the American reporter who was provocative during the reception just now.
The reporters were gone, and Conan and Hattori Heiji hurriedly investigated the scene while the body was still warm.
There was a revolver next to the body, which should be the murder weapon.
There is also a reporter who is holding the belt with his right hand and making a gesture with the number three with his left hand, which seems to have some meaning.
As soon as the body was examined, Kogoro Mouri rushed over.
This surprised Conan and Hattori Heiji. In the past, Qin Zhibo should have arrived at this time.
However, considering that Qin Zhibo was injured, it is understandable that he is slower than Uncle Maori.
After a while, some on-site reporters who had heard about the news also came one after another.
Conan, Hattori Heiji: "."
After a while, the hotel staff came.
Conan, Hattori Heiji: "."
After a while, Mao Lilan and Yuan Shanheye also came.
Conan, Hattori Heiji: "."
After everyone who was supposed to come had almost arrived, Qin Zhibo walked over slowly.
Hattori Heiji, who was waiting impatiently, said, "Uncle, why did you come?"
Hattori Heiji was still waiting for Qin Zhibo to come over, and then he officially started reasoning about the case.
After all, the main purpose of inviting Qin Zhibo this time was to avenge the shame of the Anti-Qin Alliance.
Since it is a fair reasoning duel, of course we have to discover the body together and start reasoning at the same time.
Faced with Hattori Heiji's complaint, Qin Zhibo calmly responded with a wise saying about life.
"Running fast doesn't necessarily mean you win, but not falling down means success."
Hattori Heiji:"."
In fact, Qin Zhibo walked slowly this time. On the one hand, he had an abdominal injury and was not suitable for strenuous exercise.
On the other hand, if you already know who the murderer is, you should think about the murderer's modus operandi in advance before triggering the side mission.
In the scene of guarding the totem, Qin Zhibo had already seen that the perpetrator was Conan's idol-Lei Katis.
He must have been the one who sent the invitation letter to the unscrupulous reporter, and also specially arranged the room location on the third and fourth floors where he was responsible, probably to facilitate the murder.
But in this case, the person with the greatest suspicion is him, so it would be completely meaningless to specially arrange this series of traps.
Therefore, Qin Zhibo felt that Ray Katis might have some other means of creating an alibi.
For example, a light show organized by three people.
However, because Qin Zhibo had been concentrating on using the guard totem vision, he did not see the light show.
Qin Zhibo came to the body of the unscrupulous reporter without squatting down, staring at the white light spots on the fat body.
【Corpse Investigation√】
[Name of deceased: Ed Mike]
[Time of death: 10 minutes ago]
[Cause of death: shooting]
[Complete corpse investigation, obtain character skills: Arts and Crafts (Writing)]
[Acquire repeated skills, converted into 1000 proficiency of that skill]
It is quite reasonable to gain writing skills from unscrupulous reporters.
This reporter is different from ordinary paparazzi. The paparazzi at least snaps a few photos. He doesn't even take photos, he relies entirely on his pen and imagination.
With the completion of the corpse investigation, the system task prompt also popped up.
Side mission: Find out the murderer of this case
Task requirements: Time limit is 1 hour, guide others to complete reasoning
Task reward: 500 general skill proficiency, 150 social credit
——
The moment he saw the mission, Qin Zhibo didn't pay much attention to it, just treating it as the same as the previous mission.
But the next second, I felt as if I had missed some key information.
Um?
Guide others through reasoning
Qin Zhibo was dumbfounded when he saw this task requirement.
Originally, Qin Zhibo's little plan had been made. He would ask Mao Lilan to find out about the light show later, and he could almost start reasoning.
But this time, instead of deducing the murderer myself, I let others do the reasoning and I was responsible for guiding him.
After thinking about it carefully, maybe this time I saw the face of the perpetrator before the mission started, so this mission was too easy for me.
According to the system's task reward mechanism, if the task is more difficult, the reward will be increased.
Correspondingly, in order to maintain high mission rewards, mission requirements are also increased.
Qin Zhibo looked around and felt that if he were to guide others to reason, Conan and Hattori Heiji would be the best ones.
Thinking in his mind, Qin Zhibo coughed twice, moved closer to the small group of Conan and Hattori Heiji, and said quietly: "The hand of the deceased seems to have made this gesture deliberately. Could it be some kind of pre-death message?"
The Anti-Qin Alliance, who was looking at the corpse and thinking, was startled and turned to look at Qin Zhibo with confusion on his face.
what happened?
Is he going to give stage spoilers again today?
Conan added the word "again" to his thoughts.
Because in previous cases of attacks on female idols, Qin Zhibo would occasionally say some words that pointed to clues to solve the case.
Although the unscrupulous reporter's gesture was a pre-death message, the anti-Qin duo also saw it, but thought it was not enough to announce it yet, at least until the police arrived.
Hattori Heiji lowered his head and gave Conan a look that meant, "Is this uncle interfering with our thinking?"
Conan understood the meaning in Hattori's eyes and returned the look, which meant "just wait and see what happens."
Just as the two of them were flirting with each other, Qin Zhibo turned to Moori Kogoro and said, "This unscrupulous reporter seemed to have said in the banquet hall that he likes sushi, right?"
Mouri Kogoro nodded dully, "Oh, I think I said that"
Qin Zhibo's words seemed to be talking to Moori Kogoro, but in fact they were said to Conan and Hattori Heiji.
Qin Zhibo has uncovered the pre-death message on the corpse through secret language investigation.
The fingers of the left hand making the number three are actually the movement when holding sushi, and the right hand holding the belt represents the English "band" of the belt.
Among the sushi restaurant staff, band refers to dish No. 8.
After saying the reminder, Qin Zhibo glanced at Conan and Hattori Heiji again, still looking confused, not understanding what Qin Zhibo was expressing.
There was no other way, Qin Zhibo could only unleash his ultimate move.
Qin Zhibo pointed to the left hand of the corpse and said something seemingly unintentional, "Does this hand of the corpse look like it is grabbing a piece of sushi?"
Mouri Kogoro heard Qin Zhibo's words, bent down, and wondered: "Could the deceased be eating sushi when he met the murderer?"
Qin Zhibo: "."
On the other hand, Conan and Hattori Heiji next to him suddenly widened their eyes when they heard this.
Sushi + belt
Number eight!
It was like a bolt from the blue in their heads, especially Conan, who couldn't believe it.
The death message left by the unscrupulous reporter was actually directed at his favorite football player!
this.
Conan's body froze in place, and his mind kept repeating the possibility of Ray Katis committing the crime.
At this time, the Osaka police also arrived, along with three sports stars.
The person in charge of the homicide investigation in Osaka is Police Officer Otaki. Qin Zhibo also met him the last time he came to Osaka, but he didn't remember much.
Under Otaki's questioning, Hattori Heiji explained in detail what happened in the case.
Through Hattori Heiji's explanation, Qin Zhibo also understood what the people downstairs saw during the light show.
It turned out that two seconds after Mao Lilan asked Ray Katis to extinguish the lights, gunfire erupted in the building.
However, the room where Ray turned off the lights was on the third floor, and the shooting took place on the fourth floor.
Such a short time difference eliminated Ray Katis' suspicion.
But Qin Zhibo knew that this must be some trick he used to extinguish the lights on the third floor on the fourth floor.
As for what the method is, you only need to go to the third floor and take a look.
Just when Qin Zhibo was about to walk out of the room, Otaki looked around the room and found that there were many familiar people.
"It turns out Detective Qin and Detective Maori are here."
"Are the two famous detectives here to replace our director and his wife?"
Hattori Heiji's parents being ill at home was a major matter for the Osaka police, and all the officers in the police station knew about it.
Although he felt that Qin Zhibo and his statement that he could replace the husband and wife were somewhat inappropriate, Mouri Kogoro still nodded calmly, "That's right."
Upon hearing this, Ray Katis, who was standing at the door, looked shocked.
In order to avenge the death of his wife, Ray Katis deliberately chose the place of revenge in Japan.
Because he heard from far away in the United States that the United States at least has the FBI to solve crimes, but the Japanese police mainly rely on detectives to solve crimes.
As long as the location of the hotel is set up in Japan and no detectives are invited to come over, you can sit back and relax.
So when the event organizer issued the invitation, Ray Katis specifically stated that he did not want to see the detective at the event.
As a result, the organizers misunderstood Lei's intentions and thought that he was afraid of Japanese detectives prying into their secrets, so they invited the police chief to come to the town.
After all, those detectives who walk on the edge of the law are most afraid of the police.
Later, when he heard that the Osaka Police Chief was unable to come due to illness, Ray Katis felt much relieved.
As a result, the police chief was missing and replaced with two famous detectives?
this.
When Ray Katis was struggling a little internally, a man with a mixed-race face walked up to him.
