Chapter 292: Unhappy Retribution in the Cycle of Heavenly Law
Toba Kento's body maintained a stiff posture, cold sweat dripped from his head, and his heart was pounding.
In order to kill the two targets in his heart, he planned for a full year.
During this year, he painstakingly studied various cases involving alibi tricks and books on forensic identification throughout Japan, and then carefully designed this "flawless" murder technique.
However, Qin Zhibo stayed at the scene for less than five minutes before announcing that he had figured out the method of killing the hotel owner, and then used his second trick to set up himself.
Kento Toba did not give up and wanted to make a final struggle, so he tried hard to be realistic.
But at this time, Toba Kento's girlfriend added: "When I went to find you last night, you happened not to be in the room, and your Sherlock Holmes questionnaire was not touched."
Qin Zhibo gave a thumbs up to his girlfriend who had just killed her relatives, and continued: "You said you were in the room taking the Sherlock Holmes Questionnaire from last night to today."
"If you haven't completed the Sherlock Holmes questionnaire now..."
Detective Hakuba paid the most attention to practical evidence. Just as he was about to turn around and go back to the hotel room to get the questionnaire, Kento Toba's legs could no longer stand and he collapsed on the ground in despair.
"There's no need to look for it. The questionnaire about Sherlock Holmes is still blank..."
"My mind is full of murder, and I am not in the mood at all..."
Toba Kento admitted his crime in one sentence.
Qin Zhibo continued: "Your card was prepared in advance, indicating that your murder plan was prepared for two people, one is the hotel owner, and the other is someone holding a lighter..."
Before Qin Zhibo finished speaking, Toba Kento's girlfriend interrupted angrily: "Are you trying to kill me?"
"No, no."
Qin Zhibo shook his head and said seriously: "Actually, the person he wanted to kill was Mr. Fujizawa Toshiaki. The motive should be the "Research on Green Letters"."
Toba Kento stared in surprise and sighed: "I didn't expect you to even know this..."
"Yes, that "A Study in Green Letters" is an insult to Sherlock Holmes!"
"It's impossible for Sherlock Holmes to kill someone! It's impossible for Professor Moriarty to represent the side of justice!"
"I just can't imagine this..."
Everyone looked shocked, but as someone who had just read the book "A Study of Green Letters", Qin Zhibo knew what he was talking about.
However, as someone who has watched "Sherlock", Qin Zhibo said that Sherlock Holmes really did kill people.
If Kento Toba saw that magical drama, wouldn't it mean that even the creator of that drama would...
At this time, Toshiaki Fujisawa, who published "A Study of Green Characters", lowered his head and explained: "Actually, you didn't understand that book at all..."
"And the author of that book was not an innkeeper, but a man named Neil Moonlight in the 19th century..."
"The innkeeper stole that person's work and published it at his own expense..."
After hearing Fujizawa Toshiaki's words, Toba Kento's eyes widened in surprise.
But there is no point in saying anything now. His hands are already stained with blood and he is destined to be unable to turn back.
Qin Zhibo, on the other hand, is worried about the authors who write fan works in this world.
There is a risk of being killed in fan works occ, the people are really "simple"!
Following Kento Toba's confession, Qin Zhibo also received a task completion reminder from the system.
[Congratulations on completing the side mission]
[Task settlement level: b+]
[Acquire 500 general skill proficiency]
[Get 140 social credits]
[Acquire 250 general skill proficiency]
Gu Qian/span can gain 750 general skill proficiency with one case. Qin Zhibo found that the mission rewards he received for recently cracking side mission cases have increased.
The reason for this is not only the increase in the unit price of the case, but also his proficiency in the case-solving process.
When I first came to this world, even if I used systematic investigation, I couldn't completely solve the case. I still needed the help of other detectives' reasoning.
But now I can deduce the truth by just relying on a small number of investigation points.
For example, in this case, as long as the Sherlock Holmes questionnaire in Toba Kento's room is found, the investigation point will explain everything.
But searching rooms and personal belongings is a matter for the police. According to the procedure, Qin Zhibo can only discover the investigation point after the police arrive.
But by that time it was already beyond the mission time.
And if Toba Kento's psychological defense is broken, even if he finds a blank questionnaire, he can still argue that he is out of his mind, or is not in the mood to write, or does not want to participate in the activity...
In short, this level of evidence is untenable from a prosecutorial perspective, but it would be a different matter if the psychological defenses were breached and the murderer confessed and brought to justice.
...
At the same time, Conan and Detective White Horse are also reminiscing about the case.
What surprised White Horse Detective was that as a "phantom thief", Qin Zhibo was so proficient in crime-solving reasoning.
I had only seen it in newspapers and news during the previous investigation, but this time I went to the scene in person, and the performance was somewhat unexpected.
Both the reasoning and the means of breaking through criminals' psychological defenses are at the level of a first-class detective.
As expected of Kaitou Kidd!
Detective Baima smiled slightly and did not care too much about winning or losing in the reasoning of this case.
The character of Detective White Horse is like this. He won't dig into anything other than the truth of the case.
If someone says that he is not the number one detective in Kanto, then Detective Hakuba will admit with a smile that he is indeed not.
If someone wanted to compare his reasoning ability with him, Detective White Horse would smile and say, "No need to compete, I will give you the first place..."
But next time, I will definitely expose your mask!
Baima Tan secretly expressed his determination in his heart.
Conan, on the other hand, held his chin and was struggling with another thing, which was...
"Uncle Qin, how do you know the gasoline vapor in the car is gone?"
"If the lighter ignited the gasoline vapor..."
Conan approached Qin Zhibo and asked this important question.
"Actually, I opened the car door in advance to release the gasoline vapor, and I also tested it with my own lighter."
But in fact, Qin Zhibo used magic to remove the gasoline vapor from the car.
At present, Qin Zhibo is learning some relatively low-level magic from Koizumi Hongzi, such as finding object spells and wind spells.
Just use the wind spell to quickly clean out the gasoline vapor in the car.
Toba Kento used warm air to speed up the softening of corpses after rigor mortis to create an alibi for the murder.
Qin Zhibo used wind spells to speed up the dissipation of gasoline vapor, creating a trap to trick Toba Kento into falling for the trap.
To a certain extent, this can be regarded as the retribution of the natural cycle...
However, Qin Zhibo paid 10 points of magic power for this.
Fortunately, now that we have the Lord of the Rings, it is relatively convenient to mend demons. It is nothing more than changing will for magic power.
