Chapter 33 The detective meets the investigator again
It is not Qin Zhibo’s subjective illusion that he has become more handsome.
But when he was washing up this morning, Qin Zhibo discovered that his appearance score had increased from 60 to 70.
The system's evaluation of appearance is not only the natural appearance, but also the mental outlook of the whole person and the degree of care of personal appearance.
If you don't wash your hair, don't shave your beard, stay up late every day with dark circles under your eyes, and have a poor mental outlook, it will all cause your appearance score to drop on the original basis.
The original owner of Qin Zhibo's body was such a person before, so his appearance score dropped by 10 points.
But as Qin Zhibo takes care of himself these days, the lost appearance slowly comes back.
Of course, Qin Zhibo looks in the mirror every day, and if there is no change in his appearance score, it means that his perception of these things is not strong.
But this also triggered Qin Zhibo's thinking.
If appearance can be improved or reduced through this method, then if you upgrade your makeup skills to the top, wouldn't it be equivalent to having the top appearance?
But after thinking about it, Qin Zhibo still felt that it was a bit impossible.
There are thousands of people with different looks. Different people are born with different backgrounds. There will always be an upper limit for improvement, and there will always be people who like or dislike them.
If you want to have the top appearance that the whole world likes, you need at least a thousand kinds of faces.
But there can't be such a person in this world.
...
Qin Zhibo closed the detective agency, followed the address provided by Mrs. Akutsu Makoto, and soon found a large house.
Hefeng's mansion occupies a very large area, but at this time, there are several very unharmonious police cars parked at the door, and there are police officers guarding the front and back doors of the mansion.
With such pomp and formation, no case other than homicide can be dispatched.
When he thought that a murder might have occurred inside, Qin Zhibo felt like his head was as big as two.
Although the occurrence of the murder means that I have a side mission to do, it also means that my main mission will be somewhat disturbed.
In terms of rich rewards, there is no comparison between side missions and main missions. Naturally, completing main missions has a higher priority.
As if it was stained with something dirty, Qin Zhibo felt that his main mission had not been going well.
It was either a temporary kidnapping case or a long-planned murder case.
Anyway, it didn't go well...
Adhering to the principle of detective work that those who see the case have a stake in it, Qin Zhibo planned to enter through the main entrance to discuss this side mission.
But as soon as he reached the corner outside the courtyard wall, Qin Zhibo saw a sneaky, burly man lying next to the wall, staring at the police at the front door.
On top of this man's head, Qin Zhibo saw this man's personal information.
Akatsuki Makoto, Sculptor, Social Credit 3200...
This is exactly the person you are looking for!
Fortunately he is not dead!
Qin Zhibo stepped forward and patted Ajiu Jincheng on the shoulder.
At this time, Akutsu Makoto was staring at the police at the front door with all his attention, and he was wondering whether he should go in or not.
At this moment, a hand patted Akutsu Makoto on the shoulder, which shocked Akutsu Makoto.
"ah!"
"Who are you? What do you want to do?"
Akutsu Makoto's face was somewhat similar to that of a gorilla, which made Qin Zhibo want to laugh, but Qin Zhibo still suppressed his laughter.
"Mr. Akutsu Makoto, right?" Qin Zhibo spoke in a rather formal tone, "I am a private detective and I want to talk to you about your father."
Qin Zhibo no longer pretended to be a newspaper reporter. After all, if faced face to face, it would still be easy to expose him as a fake reporter.
In this case, being open and honest about your identity is more likely to yield useful information.
Knowing how to use one's identity appropriately to formulate phrases is also part of social skills (speech skills).
"private detective?"
Ajiu Jincheng looked Qin Zhibo up and down, and then quickly rejected Qin Zhibo's request.
"I don't have time."
Looking at Ajiu Jincheng who was still watching the policeman at the door closely, Qin Zhibo smiled slightly.
"As I just said, I am a private detective and have a pretty good relationship with the police."
"If you run into any trouble, I can try to sort it out for you."
Upon hearing this, Akutsu Cheng was a little moved.
After all, detectives have a great say in this world, and many famous detectives can speak in front of the police.
If that's the case, maybe you can settle the matter for yourself.
So Akujin Cheng told Qin Zhibo everything that happened to him.
It turns out that Akutsu Makoto and Maru Denjiro, an antique collector who lives in this mansion, have a relationship between debtor and creditor.
Previously, Akuzu Makoto borrowed 10 million from Maru Denjiro due to financial problems, and mortgaged his most proud dragon-shaped sculpture to Maru Denjiro.
Today is the day to repay the loan, but Akutsu Makoto has not collected ten million, so he wants to ask Marudenjiro to give him a few more days of grace.
But on the way here just now, I heard from nearby neighbors that Maru Denjiro died at home.
So now Akutsu Makoto is hesitating whether to go in or not.
Qin Zhibo nodded after hearing this and said concisely and clearly: "Since you have not been here today, and what happened inside has nothing to do with you, then you should not go in."
"Anyway, for you, one less thing is worse than one more thing."
Qin Zhibo's suggestion was very pertinent, but Ajiu Jincheng shook his head after hearing it.
"No, this is absolutely not possible."
"Maru Chuan has a habit of recording his daily schedule with him. Last time I saw him record today as the repayment day on his portable notepad."
"And I just called his home and said I would come over later, but if he sells the carving..."
At this point, Ajiu Jincheng paused in his words, and Qin Zhibo could only ask again, "What if I sell it?"
"Just...kill him..."
"But I really didn't kill him. You have to believe me, Mr. Detective!"
After hearing this, Qin Zhibo finally understood.
If Akutsusei doesn't come forward now, the police will find him sooner or later.
But if he came forward, just that threatening message would be enough for the police to label him as a key suspect.
That's why he was struggling here whether to go in or not.
You can't tell that this man is tall and thick, but he is quite thoughtful.
In this case, his suspicion cannot be completely ruled out, after all, up to now, he has only been telling the truth.
Qin Zhibo thought so in his heart, but still showed a kind expression on his face.
"It seems you need detective services, Mr. Akutsu Makoto."
...
Inside Marudenjiro's mansion, Officer Megure was looking through Marudenjiro's notepad.
In the room, although Maru Denjiro's body was extremely cold, Mouri Kogoro still expressed his reasoning passionately as if he wanted to heat up the place.
"I see!"
"Since the murderer has already been here, the murderer must be the one who has not yet appeared here..."
"Akutsu Makoto!"
Just as Mouri Kogoro was posing handsomely with a fan he picked up from nowhere, a voice interrupted Moori Kogoro.
