The Grammatical Investigator in Conan

Qin Zhibo frowned slightly and confirmed that the bright light in the water in his eyes was not the ripples produced by the moon reflected on the water, but a genuine investigation point.

Switching his field of view to telescope mode, Qin Zhibo was unable to see the specific appearance of the thing. He could only vaguely see a long silhouette swaying slightly in the water.

"Thank you, Miss Heijiang, I'll leave first."

Qin Zhibo quickly ran back to Conan, raised his hand and looked at the waterfall, and said deliberately: "There seems to be something in the middle of that waterfall."

When Hattori Heiji and Conan heard this, they immediately turned their eyes to the waterfall and saw a long black shadow inside the waterfall.

"That is."

"It seems like a person?"

Knowing that something might go wrong on this trip, Hattori Heiji, who had brought his black school uniform over a long time ago, came up with a bolder hypothesis.

When Conan heard this, he quickly looked around, trying to find a way to climb to the middle of the waterfall to find out.

But within sight, he found something even better.

"Hattori! Come here and help me!"

Seeing Conan running towards the fireworks display in front of the crowd, Hattori Heiji immediately understood what Conan meant and ran after him.

The staff responsible for holding the "Dugong Arrow" distribution ceremony thought that these two people were winners who couldn't wait to receive their prizes. When they were about to persuade them to return, they found that these two people were running straight towards their discharge tubes.

"Hey! That thing is not for you to touch!"

The staff wanted to step forward to stop them, but they were blocked by Hattori Heiji one by one. Conan, with his quick eyes and quick hands, quickly picked up the projectiles on the ground next to him and put them into the tube.

Bang!

When the projectile flew into the sky, gorgeous fireworks bloomed in the night sky in advance, like a colorful illumination bomb that did not last very long.

Under the guidance of this light, the beautiful shadow in the torrent of the waterfall became brighter.

Qin Zhibo took a closer look and saw that Ebina Shoumei was hanging by her neck in the waterfall.

Above the waterfall, with the efforts of the islanders, the body was pulled up along the rope.

As usual, Qin Zhibo stepped forward to investigate.

【Corpse Investigation√】

[Name of the deceased: Ebina Sumi]

[Time of death: 30 minutes ago]

[Cause of death: strangulation]

[Corpse investigation completed, skills acquired: Art and Creation (Performance)]

[Repeated acquisition of skills will be converted into 1000 skill proficiency of that skill]

Side mission: Find out the murderer of this case

Task requirements: time limit 48 hours

Task reward: 1000 general skill proficiency, 200 social credit

——

The results of the corpse investigation appear together with the task trigger prompt.

The time for this mission is unusually ample, which is very reasonable. After all, this time it is not just a matter of choosing one of three, but members of the entire American island may commit crimes.

Seeing the body, a somewhat frightened Shimabukuro Kimie asked in a trembling tone whether it was suicide or homicide.

At this time, Fukuyama Rokuro, whom he met during the day, turned into a famous detective and reasoned in a clear-eyed manner: "Both of these points should be impossible, because the thing tied around Sumi's neck was fixed to the river bank to prevent danger. rope."

"So that's it." Mouri Kogoro stepped forward to reason briefly, "In other words, Miss Sumi walked to the edge of the river and suddenly lost her balance, and grabbed the rope in desperation."

"But the water flow was too fast, causing the wooden stake to fall off, and it happened that on the way to the waterfall, her neck was strangled by the rope."

"It was just an unfortunate accident"

Mouri Kogoro's reasoning still eliminated a wrong option for Qin Zhibo, which was definitely not an accident.

But why did Ebina Hisumi climb to the top of this waterfall alone at such a night?

Qin Zhibo looked around and found no investigation points, so he could only rely on his own brain to reason.

In the pocket of Ebina Sumi's one-piece dress, Qin Zhibo, who was wearing gloves, did not touch the winning number plate.

It was possible that it was washed away by the water, but it was also possible that it was snatched away.

Suppose she was invited here by someone, and then her number plate was taken away, and then she was killed and dumped here?

If this is the case, the person who can ask her to meet must be someone she trusts deeply.

Qin Zhibo looked around at several of his friends who were the same age as Ebina Sumi. Based on past experience, he felt that these people were more suspicious than ordinary islanders.

At this time, Kuroe Naoko came over and provided an important clue.

"Maybe she's here to look for the 'mermaid's grave'"

"The mermaid's grave?" Hattori Heiji, who had not followed Qin Zhibo's plot just now, asked in confusion.

Shimabukuro Kimie explained: "One night three years ago, the shrine's warehouse caught fire, and a person was burned to death inside. According to the police, it was the skeleton of a middle-aged woman."

As soon as Shimabukuro Kimie said this, Kuroe Naoko immediately retorted and stated the set of propositions she had just said to Qin Zhibo.

"That person doesn't even have any foot bones, how can he be human?"

Qin Zhibo: That person?

Fukuyama Rokuro next to him added: "Since that time, the outside world has spread rumors that a mermaid's body has been found here, and the reputation of the longevity woman has become more and more popular."

Conan asked his question at this time, "But didn't the police say it was a middle-aged woman? Didn't anyone come to claim the body?"

Shimabukuro Kimie shook his head, "No one has come to claim the body, so the shrine can only manage the body."

"But at the celebration the year before last, some unscrupulous tourists tried to pry open the tomb and steal the bones inside."

"So just before last year's celebration, my great-grandmother could only ask someone to secretly move the tomb to this forest for burial."

Qin Zhibo: "."

In fact, it was okay that Shimabukuro Kime didn't mention it before. But when he mentioned that someone came to steal the "mermaid" bones, Qin Zhibo also wanted to go and find out personally.

What if it’s really a mermaid?

Qin Zhibo looked around at the darkness around him, thoughtfully.

Fukuyama Rokuro carried his fiancée Ebina Hisumi down the mountain, and Ebina's father took his daughter's body and cried bitterly.

Mao Lilan and Yuanshan Kazuye also brought unexpected news at this time.

"The waves on the sea are too strong now, and the police said it is temporarily impossible to get to the island."

At this time, the joint dispatch of Hattori Heiji and Conan also brought news. A lifebuoy stuck on the river between the waterfall and the sea completely classified the case from suicide or accident to homicide.

"The murderer must have killed Miss Shoumei first, then strangled her neck with a rope, placed her body on the swimming ring, and let her slide down with the current, so that she could naturally hang on the waterfall."

"If this method is used, no one on the island will be immune to suspicion."

Hattori Heiji said as he confidently turned the hat on his head to the front.

This means that he needs to use all his energy to reason seriously!

One of the reasons for being serious is of course to have a good fight with the uncle detective Qin Zhibo on this case.

But looking around, Hattori Heiji found no sign of Qin Zhibo. He and Conan were the only ones who had just gone to the river to look for a possible swimming pool.

It is unimaginable to even collect evidence of this level. This is not like the strength of that uncle.

Hattori Heiji and Conan were both puzzled.

At this time, Qin Zhibo was indeed collecting.

It's just that it's not at the bottom of the mountain, but in the dark forest on the mountain.
