Chapter 8 Zhibo Detective Agency

 It is normal for the Japanese in 1996 not to know about prions, because prion research became world-famous only in 1997 when they won the Nobel Prize.

Seeing Matsumoto Ryohei shaking his head, Qin Zhibo began to popularize his knowledge.

"Prions are infectious denatured proteins that can cause neurodegenerative diseases of the central system in humans and livestock."

"Once infected with this disease, the patient's brain will be riddled with holes due to the degeneration of the nervous system, and in the end he can only die like a 'zombie'."

"And the main cause of prions is cannibalism..."

After completing the popular science, Qin Zhibo waved his hand and left the kitchen, leaving Matsumoto Yoshihin in a daze.

...

At the "kind invitation" of Officer Megure, Qin Zhibo recounted the entire crime story of Souha Tsunori.

This time, Qin Zhibo revealed all the details that Kudo Shinichi had omitted to save trouble, including that the rope with the short stick attached to the evidence was actually used to return from the murder room to the next room.

After listening to Qin Zhibo's narration, even Mu Mu couldn't help but admire: Brother Qin's reasoning is so accurate, it's like seeing it with his own eyes.

Qin Zhibo: "..."

By the time I finished recording my confession, the time happened to be 8:01 PM.

After walking out of Shuyu's house, Qin Zhibo avoided the reporter who was still squatting at the front door and refused to leave. He stopped a taxi on the side of the road, took out his driver's license from his wallet, and read the personal address recorded on it to the driver.

While riding in the car, Qin Zhibo studied the system carefully.

Because he completed the side mission, Qin Zhibo now has a general skill proficiency of 270 and a social credit of 100.

The social credit has been added to Qin Zhibo's personal information. Now Qin Zhibo's social credit is 1300.

Qin Zhibo has already seen the benefits of high social credit.

For example, the high school student detective Kudo Shinichi relied on his high social credibility to shock the celebrities at the scene, seal off the murder scene, and let the police search for clues for him like a subordinate. In the end, he was able to use his hands and feet to find clues.

If you are healthy, leave without taking a confession.

Simply outrageous!

The general skill proficiency, obviously, is the general proficiency that can increase the proficiency of all skills.

Currently, Qin Zhibo has six skills, namely investigation, medical care, car driving, language, fighting skills, and firearms.

Five of them, the high school detective also has the same or similar skills, but he does not have the investigative skills.

Logically speaking, the detective should also be investigating.

Therefore, Qin Zhibo guessed that investigation should be a professional skill exclusive to the investigator profession, which is the so-called core professional skill.

Since it is a core skill, it must be improved first. Moreover, the investigation skill only needs 200 proficiency points to increase the level, and each level up will increase the intelligence attribute by 5 points.

Who would think that his brain is too smart?

So Qin Zhibo made a thought and incorporated 200 general skill proficiency into the investigation skill.

...

Name: Qin Zhibo

Intelligence:70

Investigation: Investigation refers to your investigative talent, improve...

Level:2

Proficiency:0/2000

[Investigation level 2, unlock new investigation, corpse investigation]

[Corpse investigation: By investigating corpses, you can obtain random skills or skill proficiency]

...

Seeing these reminders, Qin Zhibo became excited.

I originally thought it was just a matter of simply improving my proficiency, but I didn't expect that a new investigation would be unlocked.

When he was at the murder scene just now, Qin Zhibo clearly remembered that there was no option to investigate the body of Yamazaki Tetsu.

Moreover, you can directly obtain random skills and skill proficiency just by investigating the corpse. This is obviously much simpler than completing tasks, and is a model of getting something for nothing.

It's just that Qin Zhibo calmed down after being excited for just two seconds.

This is a metropolis in a civilized society. How can there be so many corpses to investigate...

Unless you are an undertaker, squatting in the morgues of major hospitals.

It seems that if you want to improve your skills and complete tasks, especially the main tasks, the right way is to do it.

This time the main mission not only has five times the general skill proficiency of the side mission, but also opens the mall, draws, and skill training accelerator cards.

With such a generous reward, it seems that it is imperative to complete the main mission.

...

The taxi took Qin Zhibo to his destination, and Qin Zhibo paid the fare with the money in his wallet.

Looking up, Qin Zhibo saw a detective agency on the second floor, and the name of the detective agency was prefixed with "Zhibo".

There is no doubt that this office must belong to the original owner of this body.

Now Qin Zhibo also knew why Officer Mumu knew him. It turned out that "he" and the high school detective were in the same company.

Walking up the side stairs of the store on the first floor to the second floor, Qin Zhibo rummaged around in his pockets but couldn't find the key.

The original owner used to go out without the key?

This is a bad habit...

Following the usual routine, Qin Zhibo searched casually near the door and easily found the key under the carpet.

Insert the key into the lock, and with a click, the door opens.

After pushing the door open and turning on the room light, Qin Zhibo looked around at the interior layout of the office.

This is a relatively simple office. There is no long sofa or coffee table for receiving guests. There is only a desk and boss chair placed by the window and a TV set on the cabinet opposite the desk.

What surprised Qin Zhibo was that there was a personal computer that was very fashionable in 1996 placed on the desk of such a simple office.

Next to the computer was a half-empty bottle of whiskey and a few empty wine glasses, but nothing else.

In addition to the office's business area, which is clearly visible upon entering, the office also has two small rooms, namely a toilet and a simple bedroom.

There is no doubt that this office is both a place where "I" work and a place where I live.

For Qin Zhibo, this has both advantages and disadvantages.

The advantage is that the original owner of the body definitely does not have a wife, children or other people close to him, which saves him the trouble of dealing with the original owner's family.

The disadvantage is that the life of the original owner of the body must be very embarrassing, otherwise he would not be living alone in the office.

With this idea in mind, Qin Zhibo sat down on the boss's chair and summarized how much money "he" had left.

There is not a lot of money in the wallet. After paying the fare, there is still more than 27,000 yen left, which should be enough for a few days.

In addition, there is a driver's license and a metal nameplate similar to a badge in the wallet.

This badge is cleverly pinned to the wallet like a police badge, and it is all in English.

Qin Zhibo took off the badge and read the English on it.

“Miskatonic University...”

Turn over to the back, and on the bronze glossy metal surface on the back of the badge is a twisted five-pointed star symbol engraved by hand.

The badge of an unknown foreign university may have been kept in the wallet by the original owner as a talisman.

Qin Zhibo put the badge back into his wallet and checked the drawer of his desk.

The drawers on the first floor mainly contain bills for various living expenses, and above the messy bills is a passbook.

This is a passbook from Baling Bank. The amounts recorded on it are not too many, but the amount of each payment is not less than 100,000.

The most recent payment was just yesterday, which was a full 200,000.00.

But just when Qin Zhibo thought that the original owner of the body was an invisible rich man, he discovered that the balance of the entire passbook was 57,440.00.

In other words, if it were not for yesterday's sudden large payment, "I" would be out of food today.

It seems that I can't do it anymore...

After calming down his ups and downs, Qin Zhibo opened the second drawer.

There are very few things in the second drawer. The only things worth paying attention to are two photos and an envelope.

The first photo is a photo of three people on the beach.

The three men in the photo are wearing beach shorts, shoulder to shoulder, with smiles on their faces. They look like close friends.

Turning to the back of the photo, there is a line of faint pencil writing.
