Kogoro wanted to look cool, but when he saw the female doctor's face, the flattering smile disappeared on its own for some reason.
"Yep."
Asai Narumi nodded blankly.
"Okay, I'm just asking."
"It's okay if you don't know."
Qin Zhibo would not point at someone's nose for no reason and say, "Fuck, you're called Aso Michiru, right?"
However, since the real name of this pseudonymous doctor is Aso Minoru, it is very likely that she is related to Aso Keiji on the commission letter.
It's even possible that he is the client who sent the letter!
However, the commission of this mission is not to find out who sent the letter, but to complete the commission in the letter.
Assuming that the murder notice letter was written by Aso, then his commission...
Shouldn't I be asked to help kill people?
...
After leaving the clinic, Qin Zhibo and the Maoli family continued towards the public hall.
However, Qin Zhibo and the Maori family have different purposes.
The Mori family went to ask someone who was friends with Keiji Aso.
Qin Zhibo wanted to ask Keiji Aso about his immediate family members who were not alive yet.
Like my son or something...
Arriving in front of the Citizens' Hall, I ignored the villagers' protests against the current village chief's arbitrariness and privileges and entered the Citizens' Hall directly.
The person who came to receive him was the secretary of the current village chief, named Ichiro Hirata.
Mouri Kogoro revealed that he was a detective from Tokyo, and Hirata left in a panic.
While waiting on the bench in the corridor of the public hall, Qin Zhibo, who was bored, opened a map in the public hall to see if there were any investigation points here.
At the end of the corridor, Qin Zhibo found a large room with only a piano.
Qin Zhibo walked in.
Conan noticed Qin Zhibo walking in and followed him.
Mao Lilan noticed Conan walking in and followed him.
Mouri Kogoro noticed his daughter walking in, so he followed her in.
Just like that, everyone started walking around the piano room.
Qin Zhibo didn't know much about the piano. He didn't have the skills to play the piano, so he didn't play around with it.
However, Mao Lilan felt itchy and wanted to play a few times.
However, at this moment, Secretary Hirata ran over in a panic.
"No, no! You can't touch that piano!"
"That piano belongs to Mr. Aso! It's a cursed piano!"
Regarding Hirata's warning, Mouri Kogoro said disdainfully: "No way, how can there be a curse in this world?"
"It's not just Mr. Aso..." Secretary Hirata's face was still nervous, "The former village chief Kameyama Isamu also died on this piano!"
"It happened three years ago..." Secretary Hirata lowered his head and fell into memories.
"It was a full moon night. I passed by the public hall where no one should be, but I heard the sound of a piano coming from inside."
"When I opened my mouth to check if anyone was there, the piano stopped immediately."
"When I walked inside, I found Mr. Kameyama collapsed on the piano!"
"The cause of death was a heart attack, and Mr. Aso kept playing the Moonlight Sonata in the flames..."
While Secretary Hirata was vividly telling the story of cursing the piano, Conan used his physical advantage to lift the cover of the piano while others were not paying attention, and typed out "Stepping on the Cat".
"This piano is very ordinary..."
"Isn't there any difference at all?"
Conan's behavior scared Secretary Hirata into a cold sweat, and he quickly issued an eviction order.
"Anyway, please wait at the entrance before the ceremony ends!"
But when the door of the piano room is closed, a bright investigation point is quietly under the piano.
...
After coming out of the public hall, Qin Zhibo and Maoli's family could only wait in the parking lot next to the public hall.
Conan held his head and told what he had just discovered.
"The piano just now was so weird. It hasn't been used for several years, but the sound was normal."
"Has anyone tuned it?"
Conan's words seemed to be unintentional, but actually he wanted to see Qin Zhibo's reaction.
Maybe Qin Zhibo knows nothing about music and didn’t notice this at all?
As a result, after finishing speaking, Qin Zhibo had no reaction to the interference option provided by Conan, and just stood in front and watched the villagers coming in and out of the public hall.
On the contrary, Xiaolan next to her looked unhappy.
"Could it be Mr. Aso's ghost who is tuning that piano..."
Regarding Xiaolan's conjecture, Conan smiled helplessly.
"Sister Xiaolan, in this scientific era, there are no such things as undead and ghosts."
"Right, Uncle Maoli? Uncle Qin?"
Conan wanted to use the words of his two uncles to help Xiaolan change her fear of evil spirits and heretics.
Mouri Kogoro nodded casually and agreed, "Well..."
Just when Conan turned his expectant eyes to Qin Zhibo, Qin Zhibo said something obscure.
"It may exist, it may not exist."
"Human beings live on a calm island of ignorance, in a vast and endless black ocean."
"This ocean is vast and contains endless secrets."
"And perhaps human beings should not sail too far and explore too deeply..."
After Qin Zhibo finished speaking, a big question mark appeared on the heads of Conan, Mao Lilan, and Mao Li Kogoro.
This passage...
What's the meaning?
Conan tried to understand it and felt that Qin Zhibo might have compared the earth to the island where humans live. Does the black ocean refer to the universe?
Does he mean to say that humans should not engage in space exploration?
As early as decades ago when the Apollo moon landing program was launched, there was a minority who believed that it was too early for human beings to explore the universe and that it might bring disaster to human civilization.
But I just wanted to ask if there are ghosts in the world. How could this person think so deeply that he even thought of the meaning of human exploration of the universe?
However, from the tone of Qin Zhibo's words, Conan also heard that he did not seem to be a firm materialist.
As a detective...
How can this be done?
Detectives pay attention to using facts to speak and scientific evidence to prove crimes.
How can one become a good detective if he is not a staunch materialist?
...
In fact, Qin Zhibo didn't know why he suddenly said this sentence, or even where he knew it.
But at this moment, Qin Zhibo couldn't think too much.
Because at the entrance of the public hall, Qin Zhibo saw a familiar person walking in.
It was Narumi Asai wearing a tight black dress.
Or maybe it's Aso...
Judging from his attire, he was also going in to attend the ceremony marking the third anniversary of the death of the former village chief.
Transvestite + Conan, the conditions have been met.
I'm afraid he's going to kill someone today!
Qin Zhibo opened the electronic map on the navigator, analyzed the direction, and then walked in the direction where he could almost sneak into the public hall.
Seeing Qin Zhibo leaving suddenly, Mao Lilan also asked where Qin Zhibo was going.
Qin Zhibo waved his hand and said casually: "I don't think anything will happen today, so I'll go to the hotel to rest first."
"Come on you guys!"
Qin Zhibo's back gradually faded away, and Mouri Kogoro curled his lips.
"Tch...really irresponsible."
Mao Lilan explained to Qin Zhibo: "This was originally a commission for you, Dad. Mr. Qin has only helped me until now."
"I'm just here for a trip. If you want people to continue to help, you have to give at least some of the 500,000 commission fee to me, right?"
These words immediately made Mouri Kogoro speechless, and Conan next to him also looked nervously at Maori Lan's smiling face.
Lan, are you...
Conan remembered that Qin Zhibo had saved Mao Lilan's life several times, and Mao Lilan's attitude towards Qin Zhibo had been very enthusiastic recently.
It is easy for women to fall in love with someone who has saved them many times, especially when that person is not bad looking.
In addition, Yuanzi's eighth wife would blow wind in Xiaolan's ear from time to time, making Xiaolan forget about Xinyi and find another one.
Lan, you won't change your mind, will you?
You must wait for me!
When I get the medicine that can make me bigger, I will come back to you immediately!
...
Just when Conan the Jealousy King was thinking wildly, Qin Zhibo had already gone around to the back of the public hall.
The back of the public hall faces the coast, and there is a back door to enter the public hall.
And this back door is connected to the piano room that I discovered when I opened the map during the day.
At this time, the lights in the piano room were turned off, and only a faint moonlight shone near the window of the piano room.
Qin Zhibo opened the back door and walked into the house.
But just as he was about to leave the piano room and sneak into the public hall, Qin Zhibo heard a series of slightly heavy footsteps walking towards him.
In desperation, Qin Zhibo made a tactical roll and hid under the piano.
In the dim piano room, the door was pushed open.
Two pairs of feet burst into Qin Zhibo's field of vision from the bright corridor.
Although there are two pairs of feet, one of the feet wearing black socks is actually somewhat floating.
The other pair of feet are in black stockings and green slippers.
Black stockings...woman?
No! It’s a transvestite!
As the two pairs of feet moved, Qin Zhibo, who was lying under the piano, had enough angles to see clearly the identities of the two people.
One is a transvestite doctor called Asana.
The other is a slender man in a suit.
Under the reflection of the moonlight, there were a few drops of crystal clear substance on Aso's face.
Tears?
This ray of light flashed by, because Aso Minoru had already opened the door and left with her arms around the man in the suit.
Seeing this scene, Qin Zhibo became a little anxious.
Because judging from the fact that the man in the suit had his eyes closed and his body showed no resistance, but no body was found during the investigation, he had been knocked unconscious.
There is no doubt that he is the target that Aso wants to kill.
Qin Zhibo stood up in a hurry to see what was going on, causing him to knock his head on the piano above his head when he stood up.
Subconsciously, I looked up and accidentally saw an investigation point emitting its own light in the darkness.
【Survey√】
[This is a hidden compartment under the piano, there might be something shady hidden in it]
Qin Zhibo took out his nuclear lighter, opened the dark compartment with the help of light, and found some white powder on his fingers.
This is...
【Appraisal√】
[Medicinal ingredient: diacetyl morphine]
[Chemical formula: C 21H 23NO 5]
[Effect: Inhibit breathing, damage the central nervous system...]
[Accuracy rate: 53.9%]
Isn’t this the sea**?
Qin Zhibo didn't have time to think any more, so he quickly put the secret box back in and went out through the back door.
...
On the beach, Aso Minoru submerged Kawashima Hideo's lower body in the water and held his upper body with both hands.
Now as soon as he lets go, Kawashima Hideo will be immersed face down in the water.
Applying just a little more force is enough to drown it.
only...
Aso Minoru raised his head and stared at the bright full moon in the night sky. Even though his face was tilted 45°, tears could not stop flowing down.
At this time, there were two voices of angels and demons whispering in his ears at the same time.
Devil: Kill him and you can avenge your family!
Angel: No! If you kill him, you will become a murderer. You should report their deal to the police!
Devil: That would be too light a punishment. You will be released in a few years, and they will still make trouble for you.
Devil: Imagine your father, mother, and sister struggling in the flames. They are all innocent!
Devil: Who caused your family to be destroyed? It was them! Only by killing them can we be freed!
The demon's voice became louder and louder, even the sound of waves in reality could be extinguished.
Now there is only one voice left in Aso's head.
Kill! Kill! Kill!
In this deafening "sound", the strength on Asheng Shi's fingers became more and more relaxed.
However, just when Kawashima Hideo's face was about to be submerged in the water, a more powerful voice shouted out.
"Hello!"
"If you don't want to do it, don't force yourself!"
Aso Minoru's body trembled, and he quickly turned his head to the direction where the sound came from.
I saw a man wearing a brown trench coat standing not far behind him. His mixed-race face shone in the moonlight, and his tall figure was in sharp contrast to his slender self.
This person is the detective who came to him to ask for directions during the day——
Qin Zhibo!
The frightened Aso Minori took a step back, almost losing his balance.
"You, how did you know?"
Ashen, who was frightened and frightened, could not even speak, and the meaning of his questions was unclear.
But Qin Zhibo still explained the reason why he came here with good reason.
"If you're asking me how I knew you were a man, it should have been when we first met."
"I invited you to shake hands at that time. Due to my height advantage, I could vaguely see the Adam's apple hidden under your stand-up collar sweater."
"But your Adam's apple is very small. I wasn't sure at the time. After all, I couldn't stick my head out and look inside. It would be too rude to do so."
"Adam's Adam's apple is a secondary sexual characteristic of men and it is difficult to hide it, so I guess you can only wear stand-up collared clothes to cover it."
"And when I saw you at the entrance of the public hall for the second time and found that you were wearing a stand-up collar again, I was almost sure."
Qin Zhibo's explanation shocked Aso.
During the three years when I hid my gender on the island, no one ever doubted me because I wore stand-up collared clothes no matter in spring, summer, autumn or winter.
This detective was able to determine his gender based on this on the first day they met...
While shocked, Aso realized that this was nonsense like magic realism.
But in fact, the truth is even more nonsense than this.
