Chapter 969: 'A Night in the Cemetery' Follow-up
Next to the big tree in the bird house, a man covered in pitch black stood in the somewhat messy grass.
When he saw her for the first time, Qin Zhibo's body trembled, and he felt the cold chill of a poisonous snake walking through his body.
She was completely black, not the dark skin of Hattori Heiji, but a kind of pure primitive darkness that was even many times deeper than the abyss.
Black skin, black hair, black eyes...but it doesn't have the characteristics of a person of color, more like agate black.
Her suit was also jet black, like a black hole covering her body. She was holding a pure black cane in both hands, standing tall and staring above.
Between his eyes that looked like black agate stone, Qin Zhibo felt as if something in his soul had been taken away.
Qin Zhibo:Will-20
The two of them only looked at each other for two seconds, but it seemed like a long time had passed.
"Mr. Qin, what's wrong with you?"
"What's wrong with the eucalyptus?"
Next to him, Shan Cuncao was holding a police manual, his lips were covered with confusion in his eyes, and only then did Qin Zhibo regain his consciousness.
"Hmm...well..."
When Qin Zhibo came back to his senses, he looked in that direction and saw that there was no one in the grass.
Qin Zhibo squinted his eyes slightly, knowing clearly what he must have seen just now.
So what exactly is it?
It looks like "Xiao Hei", or his substitute messenger, but it is definitely not...
"Little Black" is a human form that simulates the murderer's movement trajectory after collecting all the investigation points.
But as Qin Zhibo became familiar with case reasoning and improved his intelligence, he was able to quickly solve the case with the help of limited investigation points.
Therefore, I haven't used "Xiaohei" for a long time.
And that one doesn't look like Xiao Hei. There is no specific human image on Xiao Hei's body, and his eyes and teeth are white for easy identification.
Overall, Xiao Hei is an indescribable human figure.
The stand-in is a pure black human silhouette, without even facial features, more like a three-dimensional figure.
And that... from another level, it is also so profound that it is indescribable.
But no matter what it was, Qin Zhibo could feel that it was not kind to him.
Or when encountering these incomprehensible beings, subconsciously judging them by human standards of good and evil is a wrong behavior.
Because they are not human at all.
…
"Okay! I understand everything!"
Yamamura So excitedly closed the police manual. He could also experience the ultimate happiness of Officer Megure.
It means "the situation is not complicated and the performance is pure."
Under Qin Zhibo's explanation, this uncomplicated case was almost solved, and all that was left was to go back to the police station to slowly interrogate the murderer.
"But the question now is why did the owner of the villa build this secret passage in the first place?"
Maybe he was a little uncomfortable getting married so easily, so Yamamura asked more questions out of curiosity.
The bespectacled man, one of the only remaining members of the band, opened his mouth to explain.
"The brother of the original owner of this villa sealed the windows after encountering the monster, and then renovated the villa. Later, the tragedy happened that first the sister-in-law hanged herself, and then the brother jumped to his death."
"But according to the brother who sold us this villa, the reason why his sister-in-law committed suicide was because she had an affair with him, and after his brother discovered it, she committed suicide because of the relationship."
"And my brother felt regretful after his wife died, so he followed her."
"An affair!"
Yamamura Cao looked shocked, and Conan and others next to him were also a little surprised.
Conan lowered his head and thought to himself, if this was the case, everything would be explained, including the death of his brother and sister-in-law a few years ago.
What my brother said about "encountering a monster" was just an excuse to build a secret passage through decoration.
In fact, he had long discovered that his brother was having an affair with his wife, so he built this secret passage to secretly observe the two of them having an affair through the half window in the secret passage.
After observing for a period of time, my brother finally couldn't help it and used a secret passage to kill his wife, just like the murderer in this case used the same method to create the illusion of suicide.
But after his wife died, my brother couldn't bear the condemnation of his conscience and jumped off the building.
Thinking of this, Conan raised his head and looked around at the adults around him, eager to tell his reasoning.
But at this moment, Hondo Yingyu, who had been deep in thought, suddenly spoke.
"In the case a few years ago, the lady who committed suicide was probably killed by her brother using a secret passage, just like today's case."
"And this secret passage was built by my elder brother to observe his younger brother's affair with his wife..."
Before Conan could explain his reasoning, Eiyou, the Hondo, spoke out first.
His face was serious, he was no longer lost in the lake, and his serious reasoning made even Conan a little surprised.
this person……
Conan felt that when he was reasoning, the temperament of Hondo Eyou seemed to have changed.
The key is that his reasoning is still correct.
But at this time, a mature and calm voice came, interrupting everyone's thoughts.
"Young people are still young. They can only make judgments based on pure rationality, but ignore that all incidents are based on human nature..."
Qin Zhibo shook his head and continued: "As far as human nature is concerned, a man who finds out that he has been cuckolded will immediately stand up and stop it from happening again, instead of calmly doing something secretly.
observe."
"Unless his own abilities are insufficient, he likes this..."
"So this secret passage should not be used by my brother to monitor his wife's affair with his brother..."
Everyone showed doubts, and Conan was shocked.
Our hall, Yingyou, seemed a little unconvinced and asked, "Then what do you think this secret passage is for?"
Qin Zhibo glanced at the hidden secret passage behind the wardrobe on the third floor and thought for two seconds.
"Maybe this secret passage is used for having an affair?"
"What if, I mean what if, what if the people who really had the affair were my brother and his wife?"
Everyone looked surprised again, because from the beginning to the end of the whole story, no one mentioned or thought about the character "brother's wife".
Qin Zhibo continued: "If I guess correctly, the younger brother's wife does not sleep in the same room as the younger brother, right?"
The wavy girl in the band nodded, "Yes..."
"I heard it's because my brother's wife has poor legs and feet and sleeps on the second floor for a long time. The servants sleep on the first floor. My brother's and younger brother's rooms are on the third floor."
After hearing this, everyone's minds were opened a lot.
If the elder brother built this passage in order to have an affair with his younger brother's wife, it would seem much more reasonable.
As long as there is this passage connecting the third floor to the second floor, my brother can go downstairs from the closet every night and enter his wife's room for a tryst.
During the day, my brother's wife likes to work in the garden.
As for the two people in the house, as long as they have the half window that monitors the backyard, they can still have peace of mind when they go about their business in the secret passage.
In contrast, using a secret passage window to spy on his brother and sister-in-law's affair is not only morbid, but also somewhat unreliable.
After all, there are 27 windows in the back of the entire villa. No matter how bold a cheating person is, they won't be able to flirt with each other in the backyard in broad daylight.
There are still servants at home.
Thinking of this, Conan's head suddenly dawned.
Unexpectedly, my reasoning was still wrong and I ignored the human nature.
The key point is how can you know what the person who is having an affair is thinking!
In comparison, Qin Zhibo should have much more experience...
Conan looked at Qin Zhibo with some unrealistic fantasies in his mind.
The Hondo Yingyou next to him was still not convinced, his eyes under his spectacles were still persistent.
"But if the truth is like this, why does my brother say it was him and his sister-in-law who had an affair?"
Qin Zhibo walked to the side of his hall Yingyou and patted him on the shoulder.
"Of course my brother chose to forgive his wife."
"Anyway, the person involved is dead. If he takes the blame and takes the affair on himself, he can protect the woman he loves deeply from being ruined. After all, in this country, society generally has a higher tolerance for male cheating.
.”
"And from another perspective, he was a nominal cuckold in return for his brother."
"The brothers are even."
After saying that, Qin Zhibo gave him a look that said, "You still have to practice."
After listening to this explanation, Bentang Yingyu was stunned on the spot, and his world view was greatly shocked.
At this time, Yamamura Cao also suddenly understood, he raised a finger and said: "In other words, my brother's wife couldn't stand her husband's constant affair, so she hanged herself in the room of her sister-in-law on the second floor!"
"And my brother couldn't bear the condemnation of his conscience, so he also chose to commit suicide by jumping off the building!"
This is a reasonable explanation and the most favorable explanation for the Gunma Police Department.
Because as long as both committed suicide, the Gunma police would not have found the case unjust or wrong, just like the verdict a few years ago.
But Qin Zhibo knew in his heart that things were not that simple, and a "moral" ending often did not exist.
That magic circle doesn't appear on the plate for no reason.
Summoning the Terror Hunter requires a blood sacrifice, and someone must have completed the blood sacrifice.
If the sister-in-law sacrifices her own life as the price for satisfying the blood sacrifice, the brother's death is destined.
Qin Zhibo whispered into the ear of Shan Cuncao, who looked surprised.
Yamamura Cao reacted and replied, "I'm not sure about this either. I need to ask a senior police officer to ask..."
…
After a while, Yamamura Cao came back.
"You are right. Although the brother committed suicide by jumping off the building, there is no dispute about this, and there were no signs of struggle on his body, but the expression on his face when he died was very scary, as if he was afraid of something..."
Qin Zhibo fell into thinking, and it seemed that his guess was correct.
The person who uses the magic circle is my brother's wife. She may be a witch like Koizumi Anko.
She couldn't bear her husband's betrayal, so she punished him in this way.
"By the way, according to the servants in the villa at the time, the brother was in a very bad mental state some time before committing suicide. He always said that 'people all over the body in pitch black were watching him.' But the servants said that there had never been anyone with dark skin in the villa.
people."
Upon hearing this, Qin Zhibo's face was shocked.
The person covered in pitch black, didn't he describe the guy he just saw?
But why?
"Xiaolan! Come and gather!"
"My sister and the others are here!"
At this time, Yuanzi greeted everyone at the entrance.
After waiting for several hours, the follow-up troops from the Sonoko family finally arrived.
…
At the entrance of the villa, a line of black luxury cars parked neatly, and even Yamamura was shocked.
Only after Mao Lilan's explanation did Yamamura Cao know Yuanzi's true identity.
I originally wanted to get along with you as an ordinary person...it's a showdown!
I am the second daughter of the Suzuki Foundation!
Suzuki Sonoko first said hello to Suzuki Ayako who was sitting in the front car.
The car window was lowered, and Ayako Suzuki, who was sitting inside, looked extremely haggard, and the dark circles under her eyes seemed to have a layer of smoky makeup.
"Hello everyone... hello."
Suzuki Ayako's voice was very weak, but she still tried her best to greet those familiar faces.
Conan, Mao Lilan and Qin Zhibo were all shocked by Suzuki Ayako's current changes.
"Yuanzi, this..."
"Okay! Sister, let's go to the car behind~"
Yuanzi didn't wait for Mao Lilan to ask questions, but pushed her best friend away and interrupted her.
After getting to the car behind, Yuanzi introduced the ins and outs to Qin Zhibo and others.
It turns out that Suzuki Ayako has suffered from serious mental illness since the bandage monster incident.
After trying many treatments to no avail, the doctor proposed this therapy of fighting fire with fire to eliminate Suzuki Ayako's inner demons.
To put it simply, everyone needs to restore the situation at that time so that the bandage weirdo can be brought to justice.
The fact that the police were unable to catch Ryoichi Takahashi for so long may also be one of the causes of this disease.
Of course, the Suzuki family also tried to deceive Suzuki Ayako, saying that the murderer had been caught.
But firstly, Suzuki Ayako wanted to witness Ryoichi Takahashi being arrested and taken into the police station, and secondly, it was useless to do so, as the nightmare did not stop.
"The bandage weirdo can be played by someone from the Suzuki family..."
"As for the task of catching the bandage weirdo, I originally wanted to leave it to Xiaolan, but since Mr. Qin is here, it is naturally best to leave it to Mr. Qin."
"This is a script, you should familiarize yourself with it first..."
Yuanzi took out several scripts seriously and handed them to Qin Zhibo, Mao Lilan and Conan respectively.
Hondo Yingyu looked at it and saw that the script was not his own, so he pointed at his nose.
"Yuanzi, what about me?"
"You?" Yuanzi smiled apologetically, "I'm sorry, Xiaolan can't refuse the invitation."
"After all, Xiaolan is a very good person. As long as she knows that there are other classmates here, she will definitely not refuse to come here again."
"Sorry! I will treat you to dinner when everything is over!"
…
On the detour to Suzuki's villa, several people familiarized themselves with the script in the car.
The script is not long, and almost all of it is about things I have experienced. In fact, it is the first day of the bandage weirdo incident.
Only in the ending, the script was slightly modified, that is, the bandage weirdo was caught directly, Happy End.
Half an hour later, the convoy took a detour and arrived in front of the Suzuki Villa.
But just as the car stopped, a mission prompt suddenly popped up in Qin Zhibo's field of vision.
[Congratulations on triggering the survival exploration mission—A Night in the Cemetery (2)]
[Task requirement: Further exploration of the cemetery, time limit of 8 hours]
[Task reward: 2500 general skill proficiency, 1 lottery opportunity, 250 weird knowledge skill proficiency]
[Mission countdown begins]
【8:00:00】
【7:59:59】
…
Seeing what was in his field of vision, Qin Zhibo's eyes widened in disbelief.
This is the continuation of the mission "A Night in the Cemetery"!
