"That's right, this is the filming location for Director Shimonaki's all-award-winning masterpiece, Rainbow Handkerchief."
On the stage, the host held a microphone and explained the slides on the screen.
Off the stage, Officer Megure and other police officers were walking among the dimly lit crowd, looking for the figure of Shigehiko Shigehiko.
Not only the police, Conan and Haibara Ai are also looking for him.
The lights out just now caught these "bodyguards" off guard. In addition, Shigehiko Tonkou slipped out of everyone's sight in the blink of an eye by turning off the lights.
Conan looked around, and suddenly a white light burst out from the crowd.
flash.
The host on the stage also saw the flash in the crowd and joked, "No matter how precious this photo is, you can't take it with a flash~"
The guests at the venue burst into laughter.
It was at this moment of intensive laughter that a subtle "piu" came into Conan's ears.
Then, a louder sound came out, like the sound of breaking glass.
When Conan was running in the direction of the sound, a purple handkerchief landed on Conan's head.
"what sound!"
"What happened?"
A commotion broke out in the crowd, and Officer Memu quickly called on the staff to turn on the lights at the scene.
"Watching a movie in the mourning hall" was forced to interrupt. When the lights were turned on, Tonkou Zhongyan was already overwhelmed by the giant crystal lantern.
The person left not peacefully, but so quickly that there was no time to save him and even a memorial service was ready.
Not far away, Qin Zhibo looked at Zhongyan, who was crushed to death by the crystal lamp, with a slightly surprised expression.
During the lights out time just now, Qin Zhibo used night vision goggles to keep an eye on Sharon Wynyard, but she did not do anything suspicious at all.
Could it be a murder committed by an agency?
As long as some kind of cutting device is set on the hanging ring of the crystal lamp, someone below can be crushed to death at a specific time.
In order to test this idea, Qin Zhibo went to pick up the skills that fell from the corpse. Qin Zhibo quickly moved his body and moved closer to the corpse of Zhongyan.
But at this moment, a voice sounded from behind.
"excuse me."
Looking back, I saw that it was Officer Megure wearing white gloves and getting ready to go to work.
Qin Zhibo subconsciously wanted to say hello, but just as his vocal cords were about to make a sound, he remembered his current identity and quickly stopped.
Officer Megure looked at the foreigners who were a little stunned, thinking that the foreigners did not understand the Japanese he spoke, so he explained again in broken English.
"I'm a police please"
The person behind didn’t know what to say, but fortunately the blond and blue-eyed foreigner understood and got out of the way.
Officer Megure walked towards the chandelier and explained his identity to the people around him.
Among them, Yasuo Mibei, the owner of a professional baseball team, lamented that the police dispatch was very efficient and did not waste taxpayers' money.
The honest police officer Memu explained: "Someone reported the case to the police, saying that someone would be killed tonight, and that they wanted to kill Councilor Tunkou."
Qin Zhibo felt a little surprised when he heard what Officer Mumu said.
Because at first Qin Zhibo thought that these police officers were simply sent to protect important people, but he did not expect that they were attracted by reporting crimes.
Who will report the crime?
From the current point of view, it is the Nine Angels organization who knows that there may be an "Easter egg program" at this memorial service, otherwise it would not have entrusted it to come.
However, since the Nine Angels just sent themselves here without any clear goal, it meant that they were not sure what would happen at the memorial service.
And the reporter knew clearly that this was an assassination and the target of the assassination.
Then besides the Nine Angels, the other person who might know about this in advance is
Qin Zhibo glanced at Sharon Wynyard not far away.
No matter what, Qin Zhibo had to pick up the skills on the corpse first.
While the police were carrying the chandelier elsewhere, Qin Zhibo walked within two meters of the body and started an investigation.
【Corpse Investigation√】
[Name of the deceased: Shigehiko Tonkou]
[Death time: 1 minute ago]
[Cause of death: rupture of internal organs caused by heavy objects]
[The corpse investigation is completed, congratulations on acquiring the skill: Social Skills (Persuasion)]
[Acquire repeated skills and convert them into 1000 proficiency of the skill]
This time it is another repeated skill. With the 1000 skill proficiency, the proficiency level of social skill (persuasion) is directly raised to level 2.
Immediately afterwards, the task prompt was also triggered.
Side mission: Find out the murderer of this case
Task requirements: time limit 2 hours
Mission reward: 500 general skill proficiency
——
There is no social credit in the rewards of this side mission. This is the first time I have encountered this situation.
But after thinking about it carefully, Qin Zhibo also felt that it was somewhat reasonable.
After all, I cannot reveal my true identity this time. Regardless of whether the case is solved or not, it will have no impact on the reputation of "Qin Zhibo".
After entering the mission state, Qin Zhibo can successfully see the investigation point.
However, when Qin Zhibo looked at the crystal lamp as he had just expected, there was no light that belonged to the investigation point.
This shows that no manipulation has been done to the crystal lamp.
At this time, the auto industry tycoon on the other side - Kenzo Masuyama suggested that the reporter should be introduced in detail first, maybe the reporter is the murderer.
"He used a machine to change his voice to report the crime, and it was impossible to distinguish between men and women." The honest police officer Mumu told the truth.
"Then this must be a prank. Senator Tunkou has been opposed by many people recently because of the bribery lawsuit," the host said.
At this time, the female writer named Nanjo Mikao expressed her judgment that there was no device on the crystal lamp, believed that it was an accident, and asked the police to release the guests.
Although Officer Megure is used to working early, he must be more cautious when dealing with such an important person's case, and cannot immediately conclude that this is an accident.
Qin Zhibo felt that it would take some time to wrangling, but it would be convenient for him to go to the investigation point.
So Qin Zhibo began to wander among the crowd.
Among the crowd, it was not only Qin Zhibo who was wandering around, but also Huiyuan Ai, who was dragging Conan to leave.
Before the memorial service officially started, Conan gave Haibara Ai the glasses he used to hide his identity, and joked that his glasses were comparable to Superman Clark's glasses, and he would not recognize anyone after wearing them.
Except Qin Zhibo.
But now Haibara Ai no longer wants to stay, and has started analyzing the pros and cons for Conan.
"If we continue to stay here, not only will we waste time, but we will also be in danger."
"Once Officer Megure discovers we are here, what excuse are you going to use?"
"And there are so few clues. It's impossible to find out the murderer just with this level of clues."
"You are not the detective named Qin"
What Haihara Ai said actually aroused Conan's desire to win.
Conan shook off Haibara Ai's hand, took out the handkerchief that fell just above his head, and reasoned: "This handkerchief was given to each guest by the organizer of this memorial service. It should be to cooperate with the director of the wine roll.
The masterpiece "Rainbow Handkerchief" should have seven colors in total."
"If you check at the counter, you should be able to narrow down the people who got the purple handkerchief to a certain range."
"Although it is not certain whether this handkerchief belongs to the murderer, the relationship between it and the murder is not completely zero."
"Right?"
Conan's face was filled with a confident smile, which touched Haihara Ai a little.
