Chapter 795 Tequila: Is there still a role for me?
In the open luggage bag, a disk labeled "Diary" caught Conan's attention.
journal?
Is it Taku Itakura's?
As long as we get this, we might be able to find out what the relationship between him and the man in black is.
Staring at the disk with his eyes, an evil little hand gradually stretched out.
But just when he was about to get it, Mouri Kogoro took action in time, picked up Conan's sweater and hat, and yelled: "What are you doing, you little brat, touching dead people's things?"
"You'll just come and go if I'm not paying attention."
Mouri Kogoro waved his hands in disgust.
Conan:_
Not being able to get the diary made Conan feel a little upset.
There has been no news about the black organization during this period, and Gin and Vodka have stopped causing trouble.
I finally came across a possible clue, but I couldn't get it due to my identity.
Damn it!
Conan turned to look at Itakura Taku who was lying on the table.
Although there was an overturned heart medicine bottle on the table, it looked like he had a heart attack because he was too late to take the medicine.
But Itakura Taku's palm was placed on his neck and he kept it there until rigor mortis.
When a person has just died, the body should still be soft, and the hands should hang naturally instead of being placed on the neck.
In other words, someone fixed Itakura Taku's body so that he could not take medicine on time, which led to his death.
This is a homicide case.
At present, based on the first impression alone, Conan can only see so many clues.
However, since it was a homicide, careful police investigation was inevitable.
How could the diary disk be taken away under the eyes of the police?
Conan was about to lift his chin and think seriously when he suddenly saw Qin Zhibo, who was observing the chessboard next to the corpse.
Eh?
There is a way!
On the other side of the body, Qin Zhibo pretended to do an autopsy, but he was actually investigating the body.
【Corpse Investigation√】
[Name of deceased: Taku Itakura]
[Time of death: 48 hours ago]
[Cause of death: cardiac paralysis]
[Corpse investigation completed, character skill acquired: computer use]
[Acquire repeated skills, converted into 1000 proficiency of that skill]
Not surprisingly, the skill gained from being a programmer is computer usage.
However, Qin Zhibo's skill is still at level 2 and has not been upgraded as expected.
——
Side mission: Find out the murderer in this case
Task requirements: time limit 1 hour
Task reward: 500 general skill proficiency, 170 social credit
——
As soon as Qin Zhibo got the side mission, Mouri Kogoro next to him started doing the elimination method.
"According to my inference, Mr. Itakura must have suffered a sudden heart attack. When he wanted to take medicine, he couldn't take a breath."
At this time, Souma Ryusuke on the side also echoed: "Actually, when I commissioned him to design the chess game, I heard that his heart condition was not very good and he would undergo surgery immediately after work."
"Really, who asked him to hide alone, so that this kind of thing would happen."
Qin Zhibo was not disturbed by off-site factors, but glanced at the room, and suddenly found a white light spot floating on the Go board in the room.
It’s an investigation point!
Qin Zhibo silently walked to the chessboard and started the investigation.
【Secret Word Survey√】
[The black flags on the chessboard form Japanese braille, which means: The murderer is Soma, and the evidence is his watch]
Qin Zhibo: "."
Seeing this survey result, Qin Zhibo felt a little moved in his heart.
In the past, death messages basically contained a name and nothing else.
And this Taku Itakura not only marked the name of the murderer, but also wrote down the evidence.
Rice flower is so dead!
Sure enough, dealing with dead people with high IQs is easy.
Qin Zhibo glanced at Ryusuke Soma's watch and instantly figured out why the watch was evidence.
Since it can be used as evidence, Itakura Taku must have carefully groped his watch and found Itakura's fingerprints on it.
Just now in the hotel lobby downstairs, Ryusuke Soma said that he had just bought this new watch five days ago.
If there are Taku Itakura's fingerprints on the new watch, it means Ryusuke Soma had met Taku Itakura during this time.
As for the murder method, Qin Zhibo, who has an intelligence of 80, can figure it out at a glance without any hint from the investigation point.
As long as the person is tied to a chair in a fixed position, the person will die as soon as the heart drug takes effect.
The murderer, the method, and the evidence are all three elements present.
Now as long as you complete the reasoning before the police arrive, you can get the highest A-level evaluation, which will directly double the mission reward.
But just when Qin Zhibo was about to say the murderer's name, there were two twitches at the corner of his clothes.
Qin Zhibo lowered his head and saw Conan next to him.
"Uncle Qin, look in the duffel bag over there, there is a diary."
Conan pointed to the duffel bag by the wall with his little hand, directing Qin Zhibo's eyes to the diary disk.
After Conan failed to directly steal the diary disk, he set his sights on Qin Zhibo.
If Qin Zhibo takes action, he can use the laptop here to investigate the contents of the disk openly.
At that time, as long as he looks for clues, he might be able to see the records of interactions between Taku Itakura and the man in black in the past few years.
Aren’t there clues about the black organization coming now?
Qin Zhibo looked in the direction Conan pointed and indeed saw the "diary" disk in the luggage bag.
This also reminded Qin Zhibo that his original purpose of coming to Itakura Taku was to find the software that could intercept the "green signal".
journal
The first thing that can be determined is that this diary disk is definitely not a special packet capture software produced by Itakura Taku.
Because most people protect their secrets by naming them "study materials" and "review materials."
Given Taku Itakura's profession, if he wants to protect his secrets, it would be more appropriate to write "C Language - From Beginner to Mastery."
A disk like this that is directly written as a "diary" is basically telling others to open it and take a look.
Therefore, the content inside cannot be that software.
As for the possibility that the disk contains a diary, it depends on whether Itakura Taku is a serious person.
After all, who the serious person keeps a diary?
Seeing that Qin Zhibo still didn't answer, Conan quickly reminded: "There may be clues to Mr. Itakura's murder!"
Qin Zhibo: He is anxious, he is anxious
In order to get clues about the black organization, Conan, who was gradually losing his cool, did not hesitate to reveal that Itakura Takumi was murdered.
Can this be said directly?
Sure enough, when Mouri Kogoro on the side heard Conan's words, he instantly felt that his authority was being questioned and he was a little embarrassed.
"Kid, what are you talking about? Mr. Itakura obviously had a heart attack and died accidentally."
Faced with Moori Kogoro's confusion, Conan forced himself to act cute and provide clues.
"Ah, lie, lie~"
"Look at Mr. Itakura's hands, do they look a little strange?"
Mouri Kogoro bent down and looked under the table, but he still didn't understand what it meant.
"Well, what happened to Mr. Itakura's hand?"
Seeing that Kogoro Mouri couldn't understand, Conan felt helpless.
If the explanation is more specific, Mao Lilan may be suspicious.
Originally, in the Cocoon game, her various behaviors of being a fan of Sherlock Holmes made Mao Lilan always want to connect herself with Kudo Shinichi.
At this time, it was Qin Zhibo who took the initiative to come to the rescue.
"These two hands should hang down naturally after Mr. Itakura's death, and should not be held here until stiff."
"This shows that someone once fixed Mr. Itakura's body so that he stiffened like this after death."
After Qin Zhibo's explanation, Mouri Kogoro suddenly understood.
"That's right."
"Is this case another homicide case that I am best at handling?"
Half-moon-eyed Conan: Isn’t what you are best at dealing with catching extramarital affairs?
Seeing that Mouri Kogoro finally understood, Conan turned to Qin Zhibo.
"Uncle, there may be clues in the diary."
Qin Zhibo thought for a while and realized that it was indeed necessary to investigate this diary disk.
Maybe there are clues about the location of the "packet capture software" and the relationship between Taku Itakura and the black organization.
If there is no investigation now, the police will probably confiscate the disk as evidence.
By the time the investigation process of the case is completed, I don’t know how long it will be to see the Year of the Monkey and the Horse.
As for the reasoning of this case, it doesn't matter if it's a little late, it's just a lower rating.
In comparison, the 8000 proficiency reward brought by saving Sawada Hiroki is more attractive.
Mindfully paying attention, Qin Zhibo solemnly put on his white gloves.
"What Conan said makes sense, you should really check the contents."
At Qin Zhibo's suggestion, Mouri Kogoro, who was also a detective, could not stop him, so he followed him to investigate.
Open the laptop on the table, insert the disk into the disk reader next to it, and start reading.
Qin Zhibo was sitting on a chair brought from outside, operating the computer. On the left was Kogoro Mori, and on the right was Conan who couldn't see the computer screen no matter how he tiptoed.
Damn it!
It was hard to convince Qin Zhibo, but he still couldn't see it!
If it doesn't get smaller.
Qin Zhibo glanced at Conan, who looked anxious next to him, and asked, "How about I hold you?"
When Conan thought about it, his eyes narrowed with a smile and he agreed.
"Um!"
Seeing this scene, Mao Lilan next to her sighed: "Mr. Qin is really kind to Conan~"
Sitting in Qin Zhibo's arms, Conan could finally see the content on the computer screen.
As Qin Zhibo clicked on the disk folder, there was a file in Notepad format.
Click it again, and inside is the diary itself.
The first is the need to investigate the case. Although Qin Zhibo already knew who the murderer was, he still pretended to read the diary at the bottom.
[On February 12th, people from the hotel suddenly came to me today and said a bunch of incomprehensible words. Could it be that one of them has found out that I live here?
Even if it is found, it doesn’t matter, as long as I find another hotel.】
Qin Zhibo was in trouble when he saw that the date in the diary was a certain year and a certain month.
What day is this?
Mouri Kogoro next to him said: "The latest diary shows that it was three days ago. Unfortunately, it doesn't say who found him."
At this time, Conan in his arms said: "Where is the man in black with Kansai accent? He once threatened Mr. Itakura, maybe he is involved in this."
Conan is not worried about exposing the matter of the man in black and involving ordinary people.
Because this is just a simple investigation to see if Taku Itakura has any enemies, it is a very reasonable investigation and will not directly involve the organization.
Under Conan's instigation, Qin Zhibo, who seemed to be a tool man, dragged the scroll bar and looked through the previous diary.
Although the time in reality jumps, today is July and tomorrow is October, the date on the diary will not be reflected.
The scroll bar dragged up for a while and finally found two years ago.
[On March 7, a guy with a Kansai accent suddenly came to the company to find me. It seemed to me that he wanted to get the system software I was developing.
But after he learned that my eyesight had deteriorated, he gave up the idea and simply walked away.
This guy is covered in black clothes, I don’t want to see him again]
Mouri Kogoro couldn't help but complain when he looked at the unsatisfactory diary contents above.
"Really, there's no name mentioned in the diary. How can I find this man in black with a Kansai accent in such a huge crowd?"
"Why don't you ask that guy Hattori Heiji? He's from Osaka and he should know a lot of people who speak Kansai."
Regarding Mouri Kogoro's proposal, Conan had no choice but to roll his eyes.
If Hattori Hei had known that suspicious man in black, he would have informed him long ago.
However, there are indeed no useful clues in this diary. I just know that the purpose of the man in black is to obtain a certain software that Taku Itakura is developing.
At this moment, Qin Zhibo clicked the left button of the mouse and dragged the blank part in the middle of the diary with the cursor.
A string of hidden fonts appear in the blank space.
Mouri Kogoro was stunned for a moment and asked quickly: "How did you do this?"
Qin Zhibo explained: "Just hold down the left button of the mouse and drag it to see it."
In fact, Qin Zhibo also got the hint when he saw the investigation point on the screen.
【Secret Word Survey√】
[Hidden words are often the truth]
Itakura Taku's true words were revealed, and Dagua was exposed.
【I'm tired. If I continue like this, I will die sooner or later.】
"What!"
Mouri Kogoro suddenly looked shocked and judged: "This shows that this person is threatening Mr. Itakura's life!"
When Ryusuke Soma next to him heard this, he quickly echoed, "That big man from Kansai is really going to be detrimental to Mr. Itakura!"
"Is he the murderer of Mr. Itakura?"
"It's very possible." Mouri Kogoro agreed twice and said seriously: "Mr. Souma, after the police arrive, I would like to ask you to describe the portrait of that person in detail."
Ryusuke Soma nodded immediately, pretending to be very righteous.
"Of course!"
"As long as the murderer of Mr. Itakura can be caught, I can cooperate in any way!"
Just now, Ryusuke Soma felt very disappointed after hearing that Qin Zhibo ruled out accidental death.
In order to create the illusion of an accident, he made a lot of efforts, including using a soft quilt to cushion the rope that bound the Itakura to reduce the bruises on his body.
But I didn't expect that such a clever trick would be seen through by a famous detective at a glance.
And strangely enough, this was only prompted by a primary school student.
But fortunately, this elementary school student suddenly mentioned the big man from Kansai two years ago, diverting the attention of the famous detectives in the wrong direction.
Thank you primary school students!
Thank you Kansai Dahan!
Qin Zhibo, who was sitting on the computer chair, glanced at Souma Ryusuke behind him.
Since he likes acting, let him act for a while.
Turning his attention back to the diary, Qin Zhibo didn't think that Itakura's words meant that the "Kansai Han" would threaten his life.
Itakura Taku met the great Kansai man, Hirota Yukio for the first time, and at the end he just said that he didn't want to see him again.
The tone of the next sentence was obviously stronger, and the content was more hidden than the first meeting with the Kansai man.
Thinking of the "green signal" described by Hiroki Sawada, and Taku Itakura's development of software to capture such signals.
【I'm tired】
Having only met once, it shouldn't make Taku Itakura feel "tired".
This obviously describes a long process rather than a short moment. It should refer to the fatigue caused by developing software.
【If this continues, sooner or later I will die from this】
This means that the software produced by Itakura Taku should have begun to take shape, and occasionally catch some "green signals".
And the madness of that kind of signal is not something that ordinary people can bear.
