Conan has been following Qin Zhibo for the past ten minutes, knowing that Qin Zhibo cannot kill people himself.
In addition, no traps such as fishing lines were found around the scene, and there was no possibility of murder in another place. Therefore, Conan was absolutely relieved to have Qin Zhibo guard the murder scene.
Seeing Conan running out of the hell exhibition hall, Qin Zhibo also started a formal investigation.
According to previous experience, if a murder suddenly occurs, the system should issue a task to itself like a plot trigger.
But this time, Qin Zhibo, who witnessed the deceased, still only had the side task of "investigating the supernatural incident in the art museum".
This high probability shows that the supernatural incident in the art museum and the murder case in front of you can be "handled together". As long as one is dealt with, the other incident will also be solved.
Therefore, Qin Zhibo's current task has changed to solving the mystery of the murder case in front of him.
Qin Zhibo walked to the body, used Kudo Shinichi's handkerchief as a cushion, and rummaged through the inner pocket of the body's suit.
According to Qin Zhibo's research in the past few days, he found that detectives have a considerable say in this world. Many unsolved cases that the police cannot solve are solved by detectives.
Like Kanto high school detective, Kansai high school detective, female high school detective, gourmet detective, easy chair detective, beautiful coroner detective...
Detectives who debut with various gimmicks emerge one after another. This is not only fueled by the media, but even officially recognized by the Metropolitan Police Department.
Therefore, as long as the body is discovered first, even if the deceased's belongings are rummaged through without authorization before the police arrive, they will not be held accountable.
The only prerequisite: you are a detective!
So under this general premise, Qin Zhibo "unscrupulously" dug out a box of business cards in the inner pocket of the deceased's suit.
The business card showed that the name of the deceased was Kazuo Manaka, which was consistent with the results of the corpse investigation just now.
The occupation and position marked on the business card is the chairman of XX Hotel Group.
Whether it was the name Kazuo Manaka or the XX Hotel Group, Qin Zhibo had some impressions.
The hotel promotion page I found on the Internet yesterday was produced by XX Hotel Group, and the project to convert the art gallery into a hotel is also under the name of this group.
After entering the museum this morning, an employee of the museum came to inform the director that the boss Manaka had arrived. Then Director Ochiai said that he had something to do and left immediately.
Could it be that what the curator said is...
Qin Zhibo shook his head, feeling that the case should not be that simple, so he decided to investigate it carefully according to the investigation points given by the system.
Next to the display wall with corpses, there is the first investigation point.
【Survey√】
[The exhibits on the walls were removed in advance, which shows that the murderer may have cherished these works of art and could not bear to let them be stained with blood]
People who love art...
The second investigation point was in the hand of the deceased. If Qin Zhibo hadn't checked the body again, he would have almost missed the investigation point held by the deceased.
Qin Zhibo opened his palm and found a piece of paper inside.
【Survey√】
[The name of the museum employee Kubota is written on it, but the wavy scratches on the paper are a bit suspicious]
Qin Zhibo took out his nuclear lighter and adjusted it to a specific angle before he could see the sharp scratches on the paper.
It seems likely that this is a death message left by the deceased, and the culprit is the museum employee named Kubota.
But why does the system specifically prompt for scratches on the paper?
Just as Qin Zhibo was thinking with the note, Mouri Kogoro and Xiaolan also ran over with Conan.
"Hooray! What are you doing?"
"Don't turn over the body until the police come!"
Seeing Qin Zhibo standing next to the body, Mouri Kogoro, a former policeman, instinctively issued a warning, even forgetting that Qin Zhibo was also a detective.
But at this moment, Qin Zhibo threw the note in his hand into the air and ran outside.
"Hey! Hey!"
Mouri Kogoro hurriedly caught the note and picked it up with his own hands, only to see the word "Kubota" crookedly written on it.
"What does 'Kubota' on this note mean?"
Mouri Kogoro didn't understand what he meant, while Conan pointed to the deceased's forcibly opened palm with an innocent expression.
"It should be a death message..."
"ah!"
After listening to Conan's analysis, Mouri Kogoro was instantly furious, "Such an important piece of evidence is thrown around so casually!"
"Does this guy have the professional qualities to be a detective?"
...
Qin Zhibo did not hear Mouri Kogoro's roar, because Qin Zhibo had already run to the staff lounge of the art museum and found the third investigation point in Kubota's cabinet.
【Survey√】
[Inside is a bag of blood-stained armor, which is a fake]
So far, the murder scene and investigation points outside the scene have been found.
However, the system did not display the [Scenario Replay] option as expected, indicating that the investigation was not completed.
This can't help but make Qin Zhibo suspicious.
Are there other investigation points that I haven't found?
...
The Zhongshi Art Museum is located in Mihua Town, so police officer Memu arrived immediately after receiving the alarm.
After the police arrived, the curator could no longer create the unique atmosphere of the hell exhibition hall and ordered all the headlights in the exhibition hall to be turned on.
In the middle of the hell exhibition hall, Officer Megure asked his forensic police to start working, and summoned all museum staff and people related to the case.
"The victim's name is Manaka Kazuo, and he is the chairman of XX Hotel Group."
"According to the assistant who was traveling with me today, this art gallery has been acquired by Boss Zhenzhong. Boss Zhenzhong came to the art museum today to compare the design drawings of the new hotel."
Takagi Wataru reported to Officer Memu in a serious manner, and Qin Zhibo, who took the initiative to "return to the team" before the police arrived, naturally heard these reports.
This is completely consistent with the information Qin Zhibo had obtained before, but until now, Qin Zhibo has not found the remaining investigation points to meet the conditions for starting [Scenario Reappearance].
As for Officer Megure, the standard procedure for finding witnesses naturally yielded no results, but he learned from an art museum employee that the art museum's anti-theft cameras were functioning normally.
"Great! It will be much easier to handle with a camera."
When he came to the part where he was good at solving crimes without using his brain, Officer Mu Mu immediately angrily called the relevant personnel to go to the monitoring room to check the video.
But at this moment, a magnetic voice stopped Mu Mu.
"Officer Megure, please wait a moment!"
"There is no need to check the security cameras because I already know who the culprit is."
Officer Memu looked back and saw that the voice came from that familiar man.
"Are you telling the truth? Brother Maori?"
"Who is the culprit?"
Although Kogoro Mouri often made mistakes when he was a policeman, he did not achieve much after changing his profession to become a detective, which led to Megumi gradually losing confidence in this brother.
However, the successful cracking of two recent cases has allowed Megure to regain his confidence in Kogoro Mori.
"That's right!"
"The prisoner is someone in the exhibition hall, he is..."
"Mr. Kubota! It's you!"
Among the crowd of art museum staff, everyone made way for Kubota to occupy a special C seat for prisoners.
"I don't!"
"It's not me! I didn't kill anyone!"
Kubota naturally shook his head in defense, but Mouri Kogoro took out the note that Qin Zhibo had just thrown away and displayed it in front of everyone.
"Stop quibbling, I have found the death message left by the deceased."
"That's your Kubota's name written on it!"
Mouri Kogoro held the note in his right hand and assumed a handsome and enchanting posture for identifying the murderer.
But Conan looked at Mouri Kogoro with blank eyes.
It's obviously the evidence Qin Zhibo found...
Uncle, you will be punished for taking credit from others like this.
