The Grammatical Investigator in Conan

"Is there a morgue for the dead on this ship?" Qin Zhibo turned to the chef who led the way to the freezer and asked.

The chef was confused and nodded slightly, "It seems there is... but it's still in the cargo hold area further down..."

Everyone immediately followed the chef and continued running to the lower cargo hold.

There is a separate storage room at the edge of the cargo hold. The door frame of the storage room has the words "Morgue" on it.

Everyone was a little surprised that there was such a place on the ship.

How could there be a need for a morgue on the ship?

Qin Zhibo called a staff member who managed the cargo hold and asked him to open the coffin containing the dead person on the grounds that he suspected there was someone hidden inside.

Although the staff was a little surprised, they still took out the key, opened the low-temperature freezer, and took out the mortuary coffin inside.

"It's so heavy..."

Opening the lid of the coffin, Cheng Shi was curled up and lying on his side inside. The continuous low temperature had made him unconscious, but his body was still shivering.

"Found it!"

Qin Zhibo took the person out of the coffin and quickly sent him to the infirmary.

Ten minutes later, in the warm quilt of the infirmary, Cheng Shi slowly opened her eyes and woke up.

"Mr. Qin..."

"Everyone……"

Qin Zhibo sat on the edge of the bed and asked, "How are you now?"

"I feel better..." Cheng Shi's voice was still weak.

The ship's doctor sat next to him and said: "This is hypothermia caused by hypothermia. As long as you keep your body warm and rest for a while, you will be full of energy."

Mao Lilan turned to the doctor and thanked him.

"Mr. Qin, I'm thirsty..."

Cheng Shi's lips were pale from the cold and slightly chapped.

Qin Zhibo helped Chengshi sit up, took a glass of warm water from Yuanzi, and delivered it to Chengshi's hand.

"Who is pulling this prank?"

Hearing the crew member responsible for managing the cargo hold characterize the incident in this way, Mouri Kogoro next to him turned his head and spoke seriously.

"mischief?"

"This is not a prank, in my opinion it is simply an attempted murder..."

After speaking, Maori Kogoro turned to look at Qin Zhibo.

But Qin Zhibo did not characterize the incident immediately. Instead, he asked Chengshi what was going on after he had finished drinking water.

Cheng Shi held the water glass in both hands, recalling what just happened in his mind.

"I originally went to the dock to find Xiaolan, but suddenly someone attacked me from behind, and then I fainted..."

"In other words, you didn't see the attacker's appearance?" Qin Zhibo asked.

"Hmm..." Cheng Shi nodded, but then added: "But I found a strange big iron box in the dock. There seems to be something scary in that iron box..."

Something scary?

Conan put his hands in his pockets, with a somewhat doubtful look in his eyes.

Qin Zhibo continued to ask: "Do you still remember that time?"

"Well, there are almost 10 minutes left before the end of hide-and-seek, which is... 10:20."

…

In order to verify the big iron box that Cheng Shi said and to find clues to the attack, Qin Zhibo, Conan, and Maori Kogoro left the infirmary and went to the dock.

The three of them walked down the steps while analyzing the current situation.

Mouri Kogoro muttered in a rough voice, "I see, this place is very close to the morgue, so I hid the person there..."

Conan also analyzed: "However, the crew member who manages the cargo hold said that the key to the morgue is rarely used, so it is usually kept in the management office, and anyone can get it..."

“This way, the scope is much larger.”

"And why was Dr. Chengshi attacked?"

Qin Zhibo looked calm and was thinking about the reason.

The three of them came to the place Cheng Shi mentioned, a corner of the dock, but did not see the "big iron box" he mentioned.

"There is no box here..." Mouri Kogoro put his hands in his pockets and concluded at a glance.

Qin Zhibo squatted down and looked at the ground carefully, and saw subtle drag marks on the dark green rubber floor.

The intervals between these drag marks seem to form a square, but the marks are only the first small piece and cannot reveal the whereabouts of the iron box.

Just when Qin Zhibo was thinking about who might move the iron box, a prompt came from the system.

[Obtain the main quest—Things in the Box]

[Task content: Detect the contents of the iron box]

[Task requirements: time limit is 24 hours, and the number of survivors on the ship must reach 400]

[Task reward: 10,000 general skill proficiency]

Looking at the sudden main mission, Qin Zhibo fell into a state of confusion.

As we all know, things that can trigger main quests are usually mysterious.

This shows that there is indeed something in the big iron box that Cheng Shi found that cannot be explained by human common sense.

Among the mission requirements, the number of survivors on the ship reached 400, which shows that this thing is dangerous.

As far as I know, there are more than 800 people on board the "Aphrodite" including tourists and crew.

The system will not put forward mission goals and requirements for no reason.

Reaching the survival requirement of 400 people means that according to the system's judgment, at least half of the people on the ship will die in the next 24 hours.

And if you don't do anything, everyone on the ship will die...

What kind of crisis is it?

The ship sank?

No, even if the ship hit an iceberg like the Titanic, it would not have caused such a huge death.

At the same time, Conan, who had the advantage of height, also discovered drag marks on the rubber floor.

He originally planned to remind Maori Kogoro as usual, but when he saw that Qin Zhibo had also discovered these traces, there was no need to tell Maori Kogoro.

Anyway, as long as Qin Zhibo is here, this uncle will have no effect.

At this moment, Mouri Kogoro saw something near the exit of the dock.

He walked over and picked it up and found that it was an iron fan.

"Eh?"

"I seem to have seen this iron fan somewhere?"

Qin Zhibo also came over at this time, took the iron fan and looked at it carefully.

Although it is made of iron, the shape is very delicate, and the tassels on the fantail are also quite particular, making it look valuable.

Open the fan to reveal a beautiful ancient painting and inscription.

"This seems to be Chairman Yashiro's most precious iron fan."

Seeing this fan, Mouri Kogoro, who is familiar with the preferences of most wealthy people in Tokyo, immediately recognized it.

Qin Zhibo closed the fan, waved it and tried the feel.

The iron fan is powerful enough to knock someone unconscious from behind.

However, if Chairman Yashiro attacked Narumi, he would not be stupid enough to leave his personal belongings here.

But now that I have found this fan, I must find the owner of the fan no matter what.

He is also the owner of this ship, the Yatsudai Chairman.

…

Because during the previous chat, Qin Zhibo and Mouri Kogoro accidentally learned the room number of Yashiro and his daughter from Sister Rei.

So now the three of them went straight to room 604 in the cabin area.

Arriving at the door of the room, Qin Zhibo rang the doorbell several times and waited for a response from inside.

At this moment, a crew member ran over and said that the captain had followed the detective's instructions and called the police on land.

Qin Zhibo thought for a while. Although he was not sure who was coming, once he boarded the ship, it would be equivalent to boarding the pirate ship and becoming a member of the predetermined sacrifice list.

The crew member turned around and saw the room number at this time, and wondered: "Huh? This seems to be the room of President Yashiro..."

At the same time, the secretary of Yashiro and his daughter ran from the other side of the corridor and asked confusedly what was going on.

Qin Zhibo showed the iron fan to her and said that he had picked up the fan at the dock and was going to return it to the Yashiro President.

The secretary replied: "President Yashiro seems not to be in the room. The only one in the room now is President Guie, who has just returned from playing tennis."

"Really? But I pressed the doorbell, but no one answered..."

"Isn't it possible? President Guijiang should be inside."

The secretary stepped forward and rang the doorbell a few more times, but there was still no response.

Qin Zhibo, Conan, and Mouri Kogoro stared at each other at the same time, with a bad premonition in their hearts.

"Something's wrong..."

"Do you have a master key? Open this door quickly!"

The secretary was startled when Kogoro Mouri yelled at him, so he took out the master key and opened the door.

The curtains were drawn in the room during the day, making the interior relatively dark.

But everyone still caught a glimpse of the person lying in the middle of the carpet in the living room.

I saw a woman in a bathrobe lying on the ground with a dagger stuck in her belly.

The bright red blood dyed the bathrobe on her abdomen red until a pool of blood formed under her body.

Although the head of the corpse was half covered with a towel, judging from the way he was dressed and the exposed chin and long legs, it was the "President of Beautiful Legs" Yashiro Takae whom Kogoro Mori praised highly on the top deck.

"President!"

The secretary screamed and was about to rush forward when he was stopped by Qin Zhibo and Mouri Kogoro at the same time.

"Don't move!"

Mouri Kogoro stepped forward, stretched out his hand to test the pulse of Yashiro Takae's wrist, and then shook his head helplessly.

Qin Zhibo stood there and started investigating the corpse without making any movement.

【Corpse Investigation√】

[Name of deceased: Takae Yashiro]

[Time of death: 30 minutes ago]

[Cause of death: Excessive blood loss due to stab wound to the abdomen]

[The corpse investigation is completed, character skills obtained: Sports (Tennis)]

Sports (tennis): refers to your level in tennis. Improving this skill will lead to stronger tennis hitting skills, improved tennis hitting strength and comprehensive confrontation strength.

Level: 1

Proficiency: 100/500

(Practice it well and you can become the prince of tennis! The brown bear is caught!)

…

This is a sports skill, and it also comes with Conan’s devastating “special effects”?

Qin Zhibo glanced at the skills briefly and then returned his gaze to the corpse itself.

[Side mission: Find out the murderer of this case]

[Task requirements: time limit 12 hours]

[Task reward: 1000 general skill proficiency, 1000 social credit]

Tips for side tasks also pop up at the right time.

However, compared to how shocking the main mission is, the side missions are purely side missions.

Based on past experience, although main missions and side missions appear together, most of the time they are not directly related.

However, there is only such a large area on this ship, so the possibility that the two are related cannot be ruled out.

"The person has been dead for almost 30 minutes..."

"Inform the captain and the police who are coming here so that they can be mentally prepared."

Qin Zhibo ordered the secretary and crew members who were still in a daze at the door, and they immediately turned and left.

And Conan was already used to Qin Zhibo's ability to perform autopsies while standing.

Just as he was about to walk in with his pocket in his pocket to see the details of the body, he was caught by the sharp-eyed Kogoro Moori.

"Go! Go!"

"Don't come in and cause trouble, stay where it's cool!"

With that said, Kogoro Mouri picked up Conan and was about to throw it out.

But at the critical moment, Qin Zhibo stopped Mouri Kogoro.

"Mr. Mori, children are as curious as cats. Even if you stop it this time, there will be another time."

"In this case, it's better to block it than to block it, so let him stay here..."

"Besides, Conan has seen so many crime scenes and knows the rules here, so he won't break them randomly."

Seeing Qin Zhibo's assurance, Mouri Kogoro glanced at Conan with drooped eyelids, and slowly placed Conan on the ground.

"You little brat, don't touch things here!"

"Um!"

Conan nodded obediently in front of Mouri Kogoro, then turned to look at Qin Zhibo, casting a grateful look.

With Qin Zhibo, he is equivalent to having a human rights card.

After conveying his gratitude to Qin Zhibo, Conan walked over to Yashiro Takae's body and observed it carefully.

Judging from the bathrobe on his body and the towel on his head, President Guijiang was probably suddenly attacked by the murderer after he came out of the bathroom.

This means the murderer has the key to this room.

In addition, there was a scattered pool of blood that had been wiped next to the body's legs.

This pool of blood is still some distance away from the blood stains dripping from the abdomen of the corpse. It feels like if it had been stabbed and fallen down normally, such traces would not have been formed.

why is that?

At the same time, Qin Zhibo, who was standing aside, also stared condescendingly at the bloodstain.

But unlike Conan, what he saw was a clear white point of light.

【Survey√】

[Suspected blood substance]

Suspicious?

So it’s not actually the case?

Qin Zhibo also felt that this blood stain was a bit strange, but he still didn't know the meaning of this blood stain here.

But at this moment, he saw Conan lying on the ground like a dog, putting his nose above the blood and sniffing.

Forehead……

Conan's pointed nose twitched, he frowned, and then got up from the ground again.

Qin Zhibo squatted next to him and asked, "How is it? Is it ketchup flavored?"

Conan was startled, turned to look at Qin Zhibo, and shook his head seriously.

"Not ketchup..."

"But it still feels a little different."

Conan murmured inwardly.

At this moment, the secretary came back and brought bad news.

It turned out that although Chairman Yashiro made an appointment to play billiards with the former Prime Minister, he left in the middle of the game, saying that he had some things to deal with.

When Qin Zhibo heard this, he knew that there was a high probability that he would be disappointed too.

Isn’t this morgue in use?
