The Grammatical Investigator in Conan

"What happened next?"

With his hands in his pockets, Kuroda asked solemnly, "Did you catch the robber?"

"No..."

The fat policeman named Sanzhishou shook his head, "When we arrived at the robber's hideout, the guy had already left, and we came to nothing."

Akiyama Shinsuke continued with a pout, "After that, the three of us split into three groups and kept looking for Team Leader Takeda until we received the notification that his body had been found."

At this time, Sanzhishou's eyes suddenly became clear, and then his expression became nervous.

"Could it be that the team leader had contacted the robber before us, so..."

Before he finished speaking, he was denied by Yamato Gansuke, who was squatting next to the head.

"No, only old man Takeda would never do that."

"He is a person who doesn't mind shooting and killing people as long as he can arrest the criminal."

The words of Yamato Gansuke silenced the three policemen of the Takeda Group.

And Qin Zhibo looked at these three people, and he was somewhat familiar with this configuration.

Isn't this a choice between three?

It's just that the target of choice appeared on all the police officers for the first time.

But what kind of hatred did this murderer have? Not only did he kill people, but he also destroyed the body.

He couldn't even touch the body...

At this time, Yamato Gansuke continued: "Instead of caring about the situation of the robber, it's better to see why this head floated down the river."

"The body has been burned for more than half a day, and this head should have floated downstream..."

As soon as he finished speaking, a blond man with a healthy complexion walked back along the downstream river bank.

"I think it's because the murderer hung this head on the railing of the bridge."

The man who came was Amuro Toru.

He disappeared for a while just to find evidence.

As he said that, he raised a torn white plastic bag in front of him with his gloved right hand and showed it to everyone.

"This is what I found in the river downstream just now. There is also a fake blood plasma bag used by the murderer."

"The murderer should have put the human head and the fake blood plasma bag into this plastic bag, and then tied it to the railing on the bridge with a loose rope."

"After a long time, the rope broke, and the human head and the fake blood plasma bag inside fell into the river. The fake blood plasma dyed the river water red, which attracted the attention of people on the bridge."

While explaining the murderer's method, Amuro Toru handed the plastic bag to the forensic police very sensibly.

Such professional behavior shocked the police officers in Nagano Prefecture present.

Zhu Fu Gaoming came over and asked, "Excuse me, who are you..."

"Sorry, I forgot to introduce myself."

Amuro Toru restrained the rather dark expression when he was reasoning just now, and showed a silly smile, "My name is Amuro Toru, and I am the last disciple of the famous detective Qin Zhibo!"

"Right? Teacher?"

Amuro Toru looked at Qin Zhibo, and Qin Zhibo also nodded in cooperation.

"Well, this is my apprentice."

"Oh, I see..."

Zhu Fu Gao Ming nodded thoughtfully, and replied in his magnetic voice: "No wonder he can make such accurate inferences. It seems that even the apprentice of a famous detective is not an ordinary person."

"No, you are flattering..."

The corners of Amuro Toru's mouth rose at the same time and smiled at each other.

The tacit understanding between the two made Uehara Yui, who was not far away, a little stunned.

Although Zhu Fu Gao Ming's attitude towards anyone was always modest and unhurried, this was the first time she saw Zhu Fu Gao Ming praise someone she had just met.

Because Zhu Fu Gao Ming was still a little proud in his bones.

What she didn't know was that Zhu Fu Gao Ming and Amuro Toru looked at each other's faces at this time, and they had some thoughts in their hearts.

As for Zhu Fu Gao Ming, he was still a little far away on the bridge just now, so he didn't pay much attention to him.

But now that they were face to face, he remembered.

When he was still studying at Toudou University, he met his younger brother who was in junior high school in Tokyo one day.

That day, the younger brother who had made an appointment to meet also brought a close friend named "Furugaya Rei".

The younger brother said that Furuugaya Rei's ambition was the same as his, to become a policeman.

Furuugaya Rei...

Amuro Toru...

Policeman.

So that's it.

Based on these scattered clues, Takaaki Morifushi roughly guessed Amuro Toru's true identity.

It was precisely because he knew the specialness of that identity that Takaaki Morifushi resisted the idea of ​​having a deep communication with him.

And Amuro Toru was also very clear about Takaaki Morifushi's identity at this time.

After Keimitsu Morifushi "died in the line of duty" three years ago, he wanted to contact Keimitsu Morifushi's family.

According to the Metropolitan Police Department, Keimitsu Morifushi's only direct relative who is still alive is his brother, who is also a policeman.

This also reminded Amuro Toru of the elegant college student he met in the cafe many years ago.

Considering that the brother is a policeman, once he knows that his brother is dead, he may impulsively want to take revenge, thus exposing the mission of the undercover organization.

So Toru Amuro has not informed his family that Moribushi Keimitsu has died.

But it's a good thing that he didn't.

Otherwise, he wouldn't know how to tell Moribushi Takamie that Moribushi Keimitsu is still alive and helping the bad guys.

At this moment, Qin Zhibo, who was standing next to Yamato Gansuke and looking at the head, pointed to the skin on the forehead and said.

"Look at the skin in this area. Are there any unnatural blood stains?"

"What?"

Hearing this, Yamato Gansuke finally put on his gloves.

He raised his head and looked at the position of Qin Zhibo's fingers, and the pupil in his one eye suddenly shrank.

"Who is that! Come and check it out!"

A forensic police officer came running over.

Qin Zhibo pointed directly at the skin area and said, "Spray it with luminol reagent and it should be restored."

"ah?"

The forensic police in Nagano Prefecture didn't know Qin Zhibo yet, so they didn't listen much to the manipulation.

But Kuroda Biewei walked over directly and said sternly: "Do as he said."

Hearing this, the forensic police officer quickly sprayed the luminol reagent on his hand.

I saw an "×" symbol slowly appearing on the forehead of the deceased's head.

This is……

Qin Zhibo stared at the symbol and felt that it did not look like a simple letter X, because it was at a larger angle than the X, and the two lines were almost vertical.

In addition to this, the thickness of the lines is also uneven.

Qin Zhibo stared at the white light spots above and chose to continue investigating.

【Survey√】

[Imprints left by a bird's claws]

"Some look like the footprints of some kind of bird animal..."

"Is it a woodpecker?"

As soon as Qin Zhibo finished speaking, Kuroda Biewei, who was standing behind, explained in a hoarse voice.

"Due to its habit, the woodpecker must firmly hold on to the branches, so its claws will be in the shape of an 'X'..."

As soon as Kuroda Hei finished speaking, the Takeda trio behind them looked shocked.

The three of them looked at each other meaningfully.

And this scene also fell in Qin Zhibo's eyes.

The woodpecker must have some special meaning to these three people.

Just as Qin Zhibo was about to walk over and test these three people, Uehara Yui suddenly said.

"The woodpecker will..."

"When I married into the Torada family, my late husband once said that he heard that there was a group called the Woodpecker Society within the Nagano Prefectural Police."

"Oh?" Kuroda Bie turned his face sideways, "I've never heard of this... what kind of group is it?"

"This..." Uehara Yui looked confused, "After my husband found out that I worked as a detective, he never mentioned it."

"But judging from his tone, it's probably not a decent group..."

Uehara Yui's words made all the police officers present look grim.

Those who have evil intentions don't want people to see it, and those who don't have evil intentions want to find out who the evil spirit is.

Qin Zhibo was a little curious about the highlights in Yui Uehara's words.

She and her husband are both married, but her husband doesn’t even know her occupation?

Forehead……

His intuition told him that there might be another story here.

"That's it..."

After hearing Yui Uehara's report, Kuroda Bingwei was not too moved, but turned to explain the tasks of the police.

The three members of the Takeda Group were responsible for asking if there were any witnesses who burned the bodies nearby.

Yamato Gansuke, Morofuku Gaoming, and Uehara Yui went to the police station to investigate previous case files to see if the deceased had any enemies.

In terms of command, Kuroda Bei's ideas are similar to Megure's.

However, there are indeed few clues in the case now, and this is really all that can be done.

"Besides, since Detective Qin is also the one who discovered the body, please go to the police station first and wait..."

Kuroda Biewei did not mention Amuro Toru, and its meaning is naturally self-evident.

Although Nagano Prefecture is not the territory of the organization, it would be a bit too arrogant to go to the police station openly.

Toru Amuro also understood what Kuroda Hei meant and immediately said to Qin Zhibo.

"Teacher, I remembered that I still have some things to deal with in Tokyo, so I will go back first."

"Oh, then you go first." Qin Zhibo also understood what Kuroda Biewei meant when he asked Amuro Toru to go back.

"Goodbye then, teacher."

Toru Amuro turned around and left without stopping at all.

And Zhu Fu Gaoming watched Amuro Tohru leave, his upturned phoenix eyes holding deep meaning.

…

After Toru Amuro left, Qin Zhibo followed Yamato Gansuke and the other three back to the Nagano Prefecture Police Station.

Yamato Gansuke and Zhufugu Gaoming went to investigate the case files, and Uehara Yui was responsible for accompanying the guests.

As for the guest, of course it is Qin Zhibo.

The two were chatting on the seats in the corridor of the police station.

During the process, Qin Zhibo asked about the thing he was just concerned about.

"I'd like to take the liberty of asking, just now I heard you, Miss Uehara, say that your husband doesn't even know your profession..."

"But if that's the case, how did you get together?"

Hearing this, Yui Uehara's face turned a little dark, but then he smiled again.

"As expected of a famous detective, his perspective on things is indeed different from ordinary people's..."

"Actually, I have no relationship with the deceased gentleman. We only got together after being introduced..."

"I quit my job as a police officer because of some things before, so he doesn't know it's normal."

Uehara Yui did not tell her the real purpose of marrying her, because that would be a long story.

Then, she changed the topic.

"By the way, you should be familiar with the Mori detective who is in Tokyo like you, right?"

"Well, it's quite familiar."

Qin Zhibo nodded noncommittally.

Uehara Yui smiled, "Actually, Detective Mori has been to Nagano Prefecture several times before and helped us solve some difficult cases."

"I think if it were you, this case would be easy to solve, right?"

"Oh?"

Qin Zhibo looked at Uehara Yui, "Are you challenging me?"

Uehara Yui smiled, "If you think so, I can't help it..."

"Just treat it as a competition."

"How about it, Mr. Qin?"

Looking at Uehara Yui's increasingly serious expression, Qin Zhibo also smiled with interest.

It seems that this woman's personality is more aggressive than expected...

"Competition?"

"Since it's to solve the case faster, I'd rather obey you."

"But since it's a competition, there must be some prizes, right?"

"Prize?"

Uehara Yui was stunned, and obviously hadn't thought about this yet.

Qin Zhibo put down the can of drink in his hand and continued: "Don't worry, I am a law-abiding citizen and I don't gamble."

"Let's play truth or dare."

"The winner can let the loser choose truth or dare, and the loser must do it."

"This is a personal competition between you and Miss Uehara, but considering that you and the other two police officers are in the same group and cannot act separately, let's say you three are together..."

"What do you mean three people together?"

Yamato Gansuke and Zhufu Gaoming, who came out of the data room, just heard the second half of Qin Zhibo's words and came over to ask.

Uehara Yui was about to interrupt and fool around, but Qin Zhibo spoke first.

"Nothing, it's just that Miss Uehara and I were discussing the case..."

"The case?" Zhufu Gaoming frowned slightly: "Does Mr. Qin already have a suspect?"

"Well... I guess so..."

If it is found that the murderer is likely to be among the Takeda trio, it is also considered a suspect, then Qin Zhibo does have a suspect.

"Then..."

Zhu Fu Gao Ming was about to ask, but Qin Zhibo shook his head meaningfully.

"No, this is just my personal idea."

"Police officers should investigate the case according to your own ideas, and don't be disturbed by an outsider like me."

"This is fair enough..."

"Fair?" Yamato Gansuke was confused by Qin Zhibo's words, "What's fair?"

At this time, worried that the competition would be known by the two childhood sweethearts, Uehara Yui quickly stood up to smooth things over.

"Detective Qin wants to judge this case fairly!"

"Fair~ Haha..."

Hearing this, Yamato Gansuke and Zhu Fu Gao Ming looked at each other.

The atmosphere was a little awkward, but they quickly returned to the topic.

After the two people's investigation, they found that the most suspicious ones were the two cases that the deceased team leader Takeda had handled.

In both cases, Takeda shot the suspects.

The first case was nine years ago, a man who was on drugs and shot randomly on the street.

The second case was half a year ago, a criminal who held hostages in a bank and refused to come out.
