After Qin Zhibo finished speaking, he walked straight to the room at the end of the horizontal corridor.
Conan, who sensed what Qin Zhibo might have discovered, quickly followed, followed by Kogoro Mori, Ran Mori, Shizuka Hattori, and Takezo Yoshikawa.
Qin Zhibo opened the door and saw a corpse lying on the wooden floor of the study room in a crawling posture.
"Mr. Shibata!"
Just as Takezo Yoshikawa was about to rush forward, Qin Zhibo stretched out an arm to stop him.
"No one is alive, don't destroy the scene."
Mouri Kogoro didn't give up yet, so he felt his pulse and looked at Shibata Shiro's miserable state of death with eyes wide open and his pupils dilated, and then he announced that he had completed the KPI for this trip.
"Xiaolan, call the police!"
"Conan, get out!"
This is Kogoro Mouri's standard procedure after discovering a corpse, except that the second sentence is usually a symbolic shout, and Conan's ears often selectively hear "go out" as "stay".
Qin Zhibo walked to the body and started investigating.
【Corpse Investigation√】
[Name of the deceased: Shibata Shiro]
[Death time: 14 hours ago]
[Cause of death: intracranial hemorrhage caused by blunt force blow to the head]
[The corpse investigation is completed and character skills obtained: Fighting (Swordsmanship)]
[Acquire repeated skills, converted into 1000 proficiency of that skill]
Side mission: Find out the murderer of this case
Task time: 1 hour
Task reward: 500 general skill proficiency, 170 social credit
——
The corpse investigation and task prompts were received one after another, and Qin Zhibo discovered that the basic rewards of the side tasks had increased compared to last week.
In terms of skills, this is the second time Qin Zhibo has acquired kendo skills, so the proficiency level of fighting skills (kendo) has been directly upgraded to level 2.
The last time something related to kendo was the murder of an antique dealer. The murderer was a kendo coach, and the victim was an antique dealer who was also good at kendo.
But this time it was also a kendo player, and one more person was killed.
It seems that playing kendo has a somewhat ill-fated destiny.
Suppose you lurk in the Kendo Association and often visit the homes of kendo masters with Conan by your side. Maybe you can become a top kendo master without swinging a sword.
Of course, this evil idea of a villain is just an imagination, and it is not easy to put it into practice.
Because in the previous "Hasanzai Ship Incident", Samezaki Shimaharu also said that he and Hattori Heiji's father were kendo friends, but Conan still couldn't defeat him.
Hattori Heiji, who plays kendo, often hangs out with Conan, and he is not defeated.
Eh?
Qin Zhibo suddenly discovered a fascinating point, that is, Hattori Heiji's surname was exactly the same as Hattori Shizuka.
The Hattori family is a descendant of the Qin family, one of the ancient wealthy families that spread from China to Japan. Speaking of which, the "Qin" in his name may have some connection with "Hattori", probably because of the relationship between the ancestors and their descendants.
The ancient Japanese did not have surnames and strictly followed the "surname system". Even in modern times, this kind of wealthy surname originated from ancient times cannot be called by anyone who wants to.
So what exactly is Hattori Shizuka?
At this moment, the sound of the door opening at the entrance startled everyone again.
When everyone came out and took a look, they saw a short-haired woman carrying a golf club bag.
"How did you get into my house!"
"If you don't get out, I'm going to call the police!"
Seeing a group of strangers, a woman screamed in a sharp voice. Qin Zhibo looked at the name above her head, which was Kyoko Shibata, and understood immediately.
"Actually we."
Qin Zhibo's explanation finally convinced Shibata Kyoko that they were not bad people, but that her husband had been brutally murdered by bad people.
Kyoko Shibata, who became a widow, knelt beside the body and sobbed, Shizuka Hattori looked around with solemn eyes, and Takezo Yoshikawa stared at the body in silence.
Conan looked at the three people with different behaviors and decided in his heart that this was a multiple-choice question.
While Mouri Kogoro was comforting the widow and standing up to cry, Conan quickly bent down and looked at a photo clutched in the corpse's hand.
Whoosh——
Soon enough, a black shadow emerged, and Conan looked at his hand that had grabbed a lump of air with a slightly stunned expression.
Looking up again, Qin Zhibo was holding the photo in his hand.
Conan: "."
That's the bad thing about being Conan. If you can't get the evidence, how can you solve the case first?
In fact, Qin Zhibo only took this photo out of curiosity. He was curious that the corpse was holding such an obvious photo in his hand, but the photo did not show the investigation point.
In the photo, there is a beautiful girl with a ponytail, reluctantly holding the winning medal in her hands, with looming crystal tears hanging from the corners of her eyes. She looks endearing.
However, Qin Zhibo's eyes were not completely focused on the middle of the photo, but looked at the background.
The background is a gymnasium, with banners hanging under the railings of the gymnasium. The winner: Michiko Tsubaki; the semi-winner: Shizuka Ikeha.
Jinghua
Qin Zhibo directly brought the photo to Shizuka Hattori and asked quietly: "The person in the photo should be you, right?"
Shizuka Hattori's eyes stared at the photo for a moment, and then the words in his mouth were thrown out at the same time as the right hand snatching the photo.
"May I ask where you found it?"
Before he finished speaking, Shizuka Hattori's hand almost grabbed the photo, but Qin Zhibo dodged it with extremely quick reaction and speed.
Shizuka Hattori looked at his hand in disbelief, grabbing a piece of transparent air.
Shizuka Hattori: "."
As a master of swordsmanship and a housewife with MAX knife skills, she was very confident in her hand speed, but she didn't expect to be easily dodged by the man in brown trench coat in front of her.
Qin Zhibo retracted the photo to prevent Hattori Shizuka from snatching it again, and at the same time warned: "I found this photo from the corpse's hand and it is part of the murder scene."
"I'm sorry, that was my fault."
Hattori Shizuka turned her head away with a blush on her cheeks. As the wife of the police chief, of course she knew that this thing could not be stolen.
It's just that she didn't see the channel to obtain this photo just now, and she was really a little ashamed in this photo, and she didn't want outsiders to see her beautiful appearance.
Looking at Hattori Shizuka with a troubled expression, Qin Zhibo suddenly thought of two ways to ask Hattori Shizuka where he came from.
Threat: Madam, if you don’t want this photo to be leaked, please confess your relationship with Hattori Heiji.
Words: You don’t know how to cook but you can tell the type of fish at a glance. The number of band-aids on your hands is too exaggerated. It looks like you are covering up the scars of your wedding ring. Please explain your various abnormal behaviors and describe your relationship with Hattori Heiji.
Relationship.
Among these two methods, Qin Zhibo thought about it for a while and chose the latter.
After all, the former is too Japanese, and his social credibility may not be enough to cover up this photo.
When Qin Zhibo quietly said what he expected, Hattori Shizuka stood there and thought for a few seconds.
After a few seconds, she raised her arms, leaned next to Qin Zhibo and whispered something.
"Actually, I am Heiji's biological mother."
I'm afraid it's too late, so I'm going to say now, I wish the students who are taking the college entrance examination good luck in taking the exam!
As a person who has passed the exam, the most important thing in these two days is to ensure rest and gastrointestinal comfort, and be sure to bring your admission ticket!!!
