In the courtyard, a voice drifted slowly and reached the ears of everyone in the courtyard who was reasoning about the case.
Everyone heard the sound and went away, only to see Qin Zhibo walking towards here with a burly man.
"If we simply use the lack of presence as the basis for identifying the murderer, it is still a bit arbitrary..."
"And the person standing next to me now is Akutsu Makoto."
Upon hearing Qin Zhibo's introduction, Mouri Kogoro was immediately dumbfounded.
"What?"
"Are you Akutsu Makoto?"
Officer Megure quickly stepped forward and asked Akutsu Makoto if you were Akutsu Makoto's problem.
"Yes, I am the sculptor, the great artist Akutsu!"
Would normal people call themselves great artists?
Qin Zhibo complained secretly in his heart, but continued: "Officer Mu Mu, it seems that a case has occurred here?"
"If possible, could you please let me do my part?"
Officer Megure nodded happily.
The detective is responsible for reasoning, and the police is responsible for collecting the body.
With the help of Kudo Shinichi over the past year, Officer Megure has become accustomed to this working mode, so it doesn't matter if there is one more detective and one less detective.
As long as you can get the reasoning for free whoring, you can just collect the body and get off work early.
...
Under the leadership of Mu Mu, everyone re-entered the murder scene.
The murder took place in the parlor of Marudenjiro's family. The parlor was in a very messy state, with knife marks everywhere on the walls and ceiling, and most of the furnishings in the parlor were broken.
As the head of the family, Marudenjiro had a sharp samurai sword inserted into the wall. He held the sword in both hands and died standing with blood dripping all over his body. His appearance was very horrifying.
Needless to say, the shock on the faces of those who came to the murder scene for the first time when they saw this scene. Even Conan frowned slightly when he returned to the scene again.
But Conan raised his head and looked at Qin Zhibo in front of him, only to find that Qin Zhibo was looking at the messy murder scene very calmly.
Calmly, as if he had seen this murder scene countless times...
But in fact, when he saw this visually striking murder scene, Qin Zhibo was not without thoughts.
Marudenjiro was stabbed to death while standing on the wall, which was somewhat similar to the way the owner of the art museum, Manaka, died last time.
It means that the murderer is at least a powerful man or a woman with natural powers like Mao Lilan.
From this point of view, the big man Akutsu Makoto is a serious suspect.
At this time, the information triggered by the side mission also appeared in Qin Zhibo's brain.
Side mission: Find out the murderer of this case
Task requirements: time limit 1 hour
Task reward: 300 general skill proficiency, 120 social credit
...
Next, Officer Megure explained the basic facts of the case.
The deceased, Denjiro Maru, was an antique collector and also engaged in mortgage lending business.
Today, Marudenjiro's notepad recorded a total of four visitors, and he had sent away his wife and servants in advance.
Mouri Kogoro came because of a certain request from the deceased, but it was actually the Mouri family who came.
Hatano Ikuya, the deceased's attending physician, came for regular consultations every week.
The other two are Suwa Yuuji, who borrowed money from Maru Denjiro before and came to pay back the money today, and Akutsu Makoto, who has no money to pay back.
Needless to say, Akutsu Makoto’s profession is, while Suwa Yuuji’s profession is a kendo coach.
"According to Conan's eyewitness testimony, the deceased Maru Denjiro went to the reception room at three o'clock to receive a certain visitor."
"Then between 3 o'clock and 5 o'clock, Maru Denjiro never came out. Finally, the servant who came home discovered the body."
"In other words, the murderer of the deceased is among you!"
Officer Megure imitated the handsome appearance of Kudo Shinichi in his memory and pointed at the four people, Kogoro Mori, Ikuya Hatano, Yuuji Suwa, and Makoto Akutsu.
Mouri Kogoro suddenly panicked.
"Officer Megure..."
Seeing the look in Mouri Kogoro's eyes eager to be freed from suspicion, Officer Megure coughed twice.
"Ahem, but between 3 o'clock and 5 o'clock, Brother Maori has been waiting in another room. Xiaolan and Conan can prove this."
"So the only suspects left are you three."
At this time, Mouri Kogoro nodded with satisfaction, jumped up to Officer Megure, and put a united front on the three murder candidates.
This scene really made Qin Zhibo feel helpless.
Mao Lilan and Maori Kogoro are blood relatives. Conan is too young and has a foster relationship with the Maori family. From a legal perspective, their testimony cannot be used as evidence.
I didn’t expect that Mu Mu, a man with thick eyebrows and big eyes, would bend the law for personal gain...
However, Qin Zhibo is not so naive to point this out. As long as he can find the murderer among these people, complete the side mission, and gain the favor of Akutsu Makoto, it will be enough.
Looking around the room, Qin Zhibo had no less than three points of investigation in his eyes.
A small place like this murder scene is an excellent place for Qin Zhibo to perform because all the investigation points can be seen at a glance.
So Qin Zhibo quickly started with the most important corpse investigation.
【Survey√】
[Name of deceased: Maru Denjiro]
[Time of death: three to one hour ago]
[Cause of death: slashing plus fatal penetrating injury]
[The corpse investigation is completed, congratulations on acquiring the skill: fighting skill (kendo)]
After the corpse investigation was completed, Qin Zhibo naturally obtained a skill.
...
Fighting Skills (Kendo): Fighting Skills (Kendo) refers to your swordsmanship strength. Improving this skill level will improve your swordsmanship to the corresponding level.
Grade 1
Proficiency:100/1000
(The level of a single fighting skill +1 will increase the attribute strength by +5)
...
The skills acquired this time are fighting skills, and the type is kendo.
Qin Zhibo remembered what Officer Memu said when he analyzed the case just now. Marudenjiro was a junior master of the third degree of kendo, so it was normal to acquire this skill from him.
The current kendo level is 1, which means Qin Zhibo now has the strength of the first level of kendo.
Kendo, compared to fighting skills (Krav Maga), has more room for imagination.
For example, titles such as Gale Swordsman, Infinite Sword Master, Darkborn Sword Demon, and Extreme Sword Demon are all metaphors for people with powerful sword skills.
But in real life, Qin Zhibo doesn't know which one is better between Kendo and Krav Maga.
However, character attributes can only be improved from the highest level fighting skills.
If you want to increase your strength and become as "strong" as Xiaolan, it is best to specialize in one fighting skill rather than take the all-around route.
So it was repaired by walking with a sword?
Which one is better, Matthew?
(Talking about kendo levels, Japanese kendo dan requires an age to take the exam, and those aged 16 to 18 can only take the kendo first-level exam.
Therefore, the original work did not say what kendo rank Hattori Heiji was, probably because it would be embarrassing to mention this rank, so I simply didn’t mention it.)
