Ten minutes later, police sirens sounded in the courtyard in front of the mansion.
The police team that got off several police cars first separated a group of uniformed police officers and surrounded the entire residence.
Another group of police officers followed the pudgy police officer leading them into the mansion.
"Where did the murder happen?"
"Officer Memu, over here, I have cordoned off the scene first."
Seeing the young man named Kudo Shinichi, Officer Megure's serious face immediately showed a relaxed smile.
"It turns out that brother Kudo is here too. I feel relieved with you."
Officer Megure and other police officers walked up the stairs with Kudo Shinichi, leaving only Qin Zhibo messy in the wind.
...
Ten minutes ago, when the maid reported the discovery of a dead person, Kudo Shinichi rushed out immediately, while Qin Zhibo lost the opportunity because he read the mission content next to his field of vision.
By the time he found the murder scene on the third floor, Kudo Shinichi had already sealed off the room, saying that no one could enter until the police arrived to prevent the scene from being damaged.
In order to shock everyone present, Kudo Shinichi also revealed his identity as a detective.
With a social credit of 8,400, he is considered an Internet celebrity in the detective world, and everyone present immediately calmed down.
In this case, Qin Zhibo couldn't force his way in.
However, Qin Zhibo knew that this would not work. If he was excluded from the murder scene throughout the whole process, how could he find out the murderer?
Do we have to rely on that confident high school detective?
Even if he can really solve the case, he must find a way to meet the mission conditions and complete the side missions.
There are also unexplained main quests, maybe there are clues in them...
Qin Zhibo came to the third floor. In front of a certain room in the corridor on the third floor, there were two policemen standing guard at the door.
Qin Zhibo stepped forward, but before he made any move to enter, he was immediately stopped by two policemen.
"The police department will go downstairs in person to inquire after a while. Please wait downstairs first."
"But I..."
Qin Zhibo wanted to say something else, but Officer Mu Mu's voice came from inside the room.
"what happened?"
Officer Mumu, who was standing in the room, turned his head and looked outside, and happened to see Qin Zhibo standing in the corridor outside the door, with a somewhat surprised expression on his face.
"Brother Qin, why are you here?"
Does this pudgy police chief know me?
And why do you call me brother?
Qin Zhibo took a look at the basic information that appeared next to Officer Mu Mu's head, and immediately understood the reason.
Name: Mumu Shisan
Sex: Male
Age: 44 years old
Occupation:Police (Police Department)
Social Credit: 4400
...
Judging from his age, there is really nothing wrong with what he calls "brother".
Next to him, Kudo Shinichi, who was investigating the murder scene with his hands in his pockets, also turned his head and saw Qin Zhibo, and thought to himself: It turned out to be the suspicious uncle in the banquet hall just now...
At this time, Officer Megure walked up to Kudo Shinichi and whispered: "He is..."
From Qin Zhibo's distance, he could only hear the two words "he is", but the rest of the content could not be heard clearly.
However, judging from Kudo Shinichi's surprised expression, the high school detective was a little surprised by Officer Megure's words.
I am?
Who am I? Can you tell me?
Of course, Qin Zhibo couldn't really ask such a heartless question, but he turned around and Officer Mumu said to the two policemen standing guard outside the door: "Let him in."
Although he didn't know the reason, Qin Zhibo was certainly happy to be allowed to enter the crime scene.
But as soon as we entered the crime scene, a very embarrassing problem arose.
That's when Qin Zhibo found out that he was wearing the same clothes as this police officer...
I didn't notice it at a glance in the hall just now. It turned out that the two of them were wearing almost the same style of light brown coats. The only difference was that Officer Megure had an extra hat on his head.
In fact, it's not scary to wear matching clothes. What's scary is that the person wearing the same clothes looks more stylish than you.
Obviously, the coat of the same style cannot be said to be very stylish on the round-shaped officer Mu Mu, it can only be said to be seriously out of shape...
Realizing this, Officer Mumu could only lower the brim of his hat, turned around and walked to the other side, pretending to investigate the case.
Megure: Damn it, I wouldn't have let this guy in if I had known better. Kudo should be enough to solve the case...
Qin Zhibo was looking around at everything in the room.
This is a small reception room located on the third floor of the mansion.
The layout of the reception room is a regular rectangle. The short side of the rectangle is the door into the reception room. Directly opposite the door is the balcony. To the right of the door is a row of bookshelves that fill the entire wall.
, the bookshelf is filled with a large number of books.
The raised object on the carpet in the middle of the reception room is the deceased.
Qin Zhibo stepped forward to check on the deceased.
Seeing this, Qin Zhibo frowned.
The chest of the deceased lying on the ground was stained red with blood. His right hand was tightly grasping the skirt of his chest, and his left hand was placed diagonally above the body. His five fingers were twisted in pain.
But what really made Qin Zhibo feel a little uncomfortable was not this, but the fact that there were two medium-sized holes on the cheeks of the deceased.
Through these two holes, one can see the mouth of the deceased, where minced meat and blood foam slowly solidified.
Two pieces of cheek flesh on the deceased's face were brutally cut off by the murderer...
With all his attention focused on the dead figure on the ground, Qin Zhibo did not notice that his will suddenly dropped from 90 to 89 in his attribute column.
But the next second, 89 jumped back to 90, as if nothing happened.
...
Across the body of the deceased, Kudo Shinichi, who was standing opposite Qin Zhibo, also lowered his head and stared at the body.
Even Kudo Shinichi, who had been tempered for a long time, felt the food in his stomach churning when he first saw this horrific death scene.
Precisely because the death of the corpse was too cruel, Kudo Shinichi increased the intensity of sealing the scene this time, just to prevent others, especially his childhood sweetheart Mao Lilan, from seeing this stomach-churning scene.
While examining the corpse, Kudo Shinichi also used the corner of his eye to observe Qin Zhibo's reaction when he saw the corpse from time to time.
Seeing this dead body, this man only frowned for less than a second and then regained his composure...
At this moment, the police officer at the door came to report: "Report to the Megure Police Department! The owner of the mansion, Mr. Souha Sotoku, has been brought here."
"Well, let him come in."
Officer Memu nodded, and the police officer at the door stepped aside. An old man wearing a light purple suit and a plaster on his right leg entered the room leisurely in an electric wheelchair.
"This should be the guest you invited to this banquet, right? Please identify him."
Under the instructions of Officer Megure, the owner of the mansion, Souha Tsunori, came to the deceased in an electric wheelchair.
The moment he saw the deceased, Souha Tatsutoku's body trembled, and his calm expression a second ago collapsed in an instant, and he was swallowed up by intense fear.
This fear even made Souha Tatsutoku's slightly swollen body fall from the wheelchair. The police officer next to him quickly stepped forward to help him, and then he helped Souha Tatsutoku back to the wheelchair.
"Yes...yes!"
"He is, the guest I invited, Yamazaki Tetsu."
"How could it become like this!"
Police officer Megure on the side asked Souha Sotoku what his occupation was, and Souha Sotoku replied that he was the general manager of Balishi Bank.
However, Kudo Shinichi's wise eyes have already seen some clues from the episode just now.
Just now, when Souha Tatsutoku fell into the wheelchair due to fright, his right leg, which was fractured and still in a plaster, tried to stand up by stepping on the ground.
If the policeman nearby hadn't quickly stepped forward to help him up, Kudo Shinichi had no doubt that he would have been able to stand up on his own strength.
In other words, his leg injury has actually healed.
He is pretending to be sick now!
A trace of his signature confident smile flashed across Kudo Shinichi's face.
...
At the same time, Qin Zhibo, who was fully focused, didn't pay much attention to what was happening in the room.
At this time, in Qin Zhibo's field of vision, some white light spots appeared in several locations at the murder scene.
These light spots are like highlighted areas in adventure games where player characters can interact with the scene, attracting Qin Zhibo to the nearest white light spot.
Walking to the corner of the room, in front of the bookshelf behind the door, the light spots on the bookshelf turned into [Do you want to investigate?]
【Survey√】
As Qin Zhibo's brain confirmed, Qin Zhibo stretched out his hand and pulled out an inconspicuous book on the bookshelf.
On the dark red book cover are gilt fonts written in French.
《Cultes Des Goules》
At the same time, a rumbling voice sounded in Qin Zhibo's brain.
"Acquire a new professional skill, mysterious mythological knowledge..."
"The current level of mysterious mythology knowledge is 1, and the proficiency is 200/1000..."
