The Grammatical Investigator in Conan

Chapter 814 A way to distort time

Judging from the current clues, Bandage Freak No. 2 has only two possibilities: choose one of the two, or the two are accomplices.

In Conan's dictionary, there is no such thing as "the prisoner is a character who has not yet appeared".

Let’s not mention the thin guy with a perm.

Chiba Kazunobu is the younger brother of Inspector Megure and is at the same level as Takagi.

Although he was mainly responsible for running errands at the murder scene, his presence was not as strong as Takagi's.

He didn't have much interaction with him, but Conan didn't want to easily suspect that he was the bandage man's accomplice.

But if Minase Harumu was imprisoned by his roommate, even if he was imprisoned elsewhere, Chiba, as a police officer, should be able to detect what was going on.

"Officer Chiba, has anything unusual happened to you in the past two days? Even if it's a small thing."

Qianye lowered his head and looked at Conan. He didn't understand why Qin Zhibo and Conan were both concerned about his schedule before today, but he still looked up and thought about it.

"I've been on vacation these two days, and nothing special happened. Every day I just watch DVDs, sleep, eat, sleep, watch TV, and sleep."

The expression on Yokomori Jugo's face once again showed a trace of disgust. Why does this Tokyo detective have so many feelings?

Could it be that the Tokyo police are under too much pressure and need more rest?

"Are these activities all with your roommates?"

"Well, to tell you the truth, Kato and I both tend to stay at home and rarely go out unless necessary."

"What about sleeping? Do you sleep together too?"

"I don't know about that, Kato, have you ever gone out while I was sleeping in the past two days?"

Akira Kato on the other side shook his head blankly, "No."

At this moment, Chiba was like a prisoner being questioned, while Conan was like a policeman.

After getting a watertight answer, Conan still felt unsatisfied, and suddenly his eyes passed over Chiba's belly that could not be covered by the white shirt.

pregnant?

I remember Chiba was relatively thin a month ago. Why has she become so fat these days?

Suddenly, Conan's mind recalled the case of the bandaged man in Yuanzi's Villa. The murderer's belly was faked, but he was actually very thin.

Is Chiba’s belly too?

Thinking in his mind, Conan stretched out his hand out of nowhere and quickly touched Chiba's belly.

Secret skill: The scheming frog keeps touching your belly!

"ah!"

The unsuspecting Chiba was startled and actually screamed.

It's soft, but it has a normal fleshy texture, not something else.

Conan summed up the feeling in his mind.

Qin Zhibo looked on and roughly guessed what Conan wanted to do.

It's a bit rare that Conan, a native of this world, discovered this beauty.

When they met for the first time, Qin Zhibo remembered that Chiba Kazuno's figure was not rolling, but rather capable.

At that time, the neck was still a neck.

But now, Chiba's neck has almost merged with her chin, and her ears can't be seen from the front.

If we calculate it according to the time of this world, we really haven’t seen each other for a few days. Why is it so long?

At this time, Henggou Shigego couldn't stand it anymore and said sternly: "Kid, didn't you say you were in a hurry and needed to go to the toilet? Why are you not in a hurry anymore?"

Conan: "."

Qin Zhibo stood up and came to the rescue: "I understand this child is Schrödinger's bladder, which is in an infinite superposition state of urinating and not urinating."

Henggou Jugewu: "Huh?"

Conan: "."

Seeing that there were no clues for a while, Conan had no choice but to go to the bathroom first and see if he could find any clues elsewhere in the apartment.

Qin Zhibo turned to look at Akira Kato and asked: "Mr. Kato, you are an employee of an antique trading company, what is your usual work content?"

Akira Kato was stunned for a moment and replied: "I am mainly responsible for the appraisal of antiques in the company. Don't look at me like this, but I studied archeology when I was in college abroad."

Seeing Akira Kato pointing his finger at the explosive dye-perm on his head and making self-deprecating remarks, Yokomori Jugo's inner doubts were reduced even more.

When I was studying criminal psychology at the police academy, I made certain standard assessments of the real life of perverted kidnappers and murderers.

First of all, this type of person usually has a job that is stable but devoid of any fun or challenge.

He works nine to five every day and lives a regular life. He seems to be an inconspicuous ordinary person and has no specific interests and hobbies in his life.

Living alone, not clubbing, not surfing the Internet, not falling in love, daily conversation is normal, rarely or even not socializing.

But in fact, people who live a stable life are more likely to be distorted in their hearts, commit some outrageous behaviors, and are eager to try bold and crazy crimes.

However, although Kato Akira has a stable job, judging from his life with the detective, his living habits are irregular.

His hobby is children's animation. His hair dyeing and perm with an explosion-like effect is very eye-catching among the crowd. At first glance, he doesn't look like an ordinary person.

Logically speaking, if the Bandage Freak has to wrap a bandage on his head every time he commits a crime, this kind of hair dyeing and perming should be the most taboo, because the shape of the head can easily weigh it down and be noticed by people around him.

Apart from these, it is common sense that a prisoner cannot choose to live with a police officer.

Moreover, during the time when the case occurred, there happened to be an alibi provided by the police, which is the most powerful evidence.

I'm afraid this trip will be in vain.

Henggou Shigego was mentally prepared to chase him from Kanagawa to Tokyo but return in vain. He turned to look at Qin Zhibo, only to find that the two sides were still talking.

Qin Zhibo: "In which country are you studying abroad?"

Akira Kato: "America."

Qin Zhibo: "Studying archeology in the United States is a good choice. Which university is it? It can't be Miskatonic University, right?"

Akira Kato: "Ah, it's not such a powerful world-class school~ It's Oklahoma State University."

Hearing this, Qin Zhibo felt relieved with a calm look on his face.

"Since I am not an alumnus, I can safely announce it, Mr. Akira Kato."

"Or I should call you a 'kidnapper and murderer'."

In the toilet, Conan was peeing.

Although the urgent need to urinate was an excuse, after sitting in the car for an hour, I really needed to drink some water.

In the process of releasing the water, Conan was still thinking about who the kidnapper was.

Suddenly, a "BIBI" sound came from the breast pocket.

Conan pulled up his pants and took out his detective badge from his pocket. It was this small object that made the sound.

"Hello?"

"Conan! Why don't you come out yet?"

Of course there were three little voices on the other side of the detective badge, and Conan was already mentally prepared.

"I'm investigating now and will tell you when I have any clues."

As soon as Conan finished speaking, he saw an electrical appliance placed in the wash cabinet.

"This is."

Conan put away his detective badge, moved to the stool in the corner of the toilet, stepped on the stool and picked up the electrical appliance, and found that it was a household hair iron.

Home hair curlers, when you think of Kato Akira’s hairstyle, it’s impossible to go to a barber shop to get your hair done often. I definitely do it at home occasionally.

Conan jumped off the stool and continued to look around the toilet.

Taking advantage of a child's perspective, another thing luckily came into view.

In the gap between the sink and the wall, a piece of paper appeared.

Conan quickly bent down and got under the suspended sink, dug his fingers into the gap, and pulled out the corner of paper.

Wow——

As a piece of paper was pulled out, other pieces of paper that had been forced in were also taken out one after another and scattered on the floor.

It turns out that these are not ordinary pieces of paper, but color photos.

Conan looked down at the photos, his pupils dilated, his mouth slightly open, and the shock on his face could not be concealed.

these are.!

In the living room, Qin Zhibo shocked everyone with his words.

Henggou, Chiba, and Kato who were present were all stunned, and for a moment they didn't know what to say.

A few seconds later, Yokomori Shigego confirmed eagerly: "Did I hear you correctly? You said Kato was the kidnapper?"

Qin Zhibo showed a confident smile on his face and nodded, "Yes, Akira Kato is the kidnapper and murderer we are looking for. He was the one who killed Funaki and kidnapped high school girls."

With a look of disbelief, Chiba glanced at Akira Kato next to him and said doubtfully: "But between 10 o'clock and 10:30 when the crime occurred, I personally turned on the recording function of the video recorder and recorded the video of "Super Drag" The program was recorded, and there is video tape to prove this."

Qin Zhibo did not answer immediately, but turned to a corner of the living room, picked up the newspaper placed on top of the low cabinet, and said.

"This newspaper contains the program schedules of various TV stations this week. In fact, if you look carefully, you can find that the program "Super Drag" is not only broadcast at 10 a.m. on Japanese TV stations."

Henggou Chongwu took the newspaper handed over by Qin Zhibo, searched for a while, and found Hua Dian.

"Why is this program also broadcast on cable TV stations?"

"And it's 12 o'clock noon"

Qin Zhibo explained: "The show "Super Drag" is very popular. After the first broadcast, it will be replayed on other TV stations. I personally watch it sometimes, so I know this information."

"Of course, Mr. Kato, who subscribes to a newspaper with TV schedules, can also easily know this."

"In fact, Kato only needs to turn on the scheduled recording function of the VCR at 10 o'clock today, record the "Super Drag" program at 7 o'clock, and then go out to commit the crime."

"When he came back at almost 12 o'clock, Kato woke up Chiba who was sleeping, told him that it was 10 o'clock in the morning, and reminded him to record the program."

"In the next three hours, as long as Chiba takes a shower, the copy of "Super Drag" you recorded on Japanese television will be overwritten on Chiba's videotape."

"Officer Chiba, have you taken a shower during this time? And it was probably because of Kato's reminder."

Chiba looked dazed, glanced at Kato Akira, and then nodded.

Henggou Zhongwu held his chin solemnly, his brain trying his best to figure out the method of creating alibi mentioned by Qin Zhibo, and finally he finally figured it out.

But then, the problem came.

"But there is a two-hour gap. Doesn't it mean that Detective Chiba has no sense of time at all and can't detect anything unusual?"

"There should be many places where you can feel that the time is wrong, right? For example, the clock time at home is wrong, the time display in the upper left corner of the TV, the weather outside, etc."

Qin Zhibo looked around the small space and explained calmly: "If you are in this room environment during the two-day vacation, and Chiba has such a lazy personality, it is normal for the concept of time to be blurred."

"Haven't you heard of the saying, 'Happy time is always short'?"

"For Chiba, today is just shorter than yesterday."

"The time on the clock at home can be adjusted at any time. If you speed it up a little each time, there are many opportunities. In fact, the weather at 10 a.m. and 12 o'clock is not much different, not to mention that Chiba has not left the apartment at all, and it is impossible to find it."

"As for the time display in the upper left corner of the TV, please take a look."

Qin Zhibo walked to the TV and pointed to the note in the upper left corner of the TV screen.

"There are a lot of notes posted at this location that facilitate time management. They just block the time display on the TV, but instead make Chiba ignore the time that he should be aware of."

"Akira Kato took advantage of the closed nature of this apartment to distort time here, making you, Chiba, feel the wrong passage of time."

A look of astonishment appeared on Chiba's baby face, and Yokomori Shigego also woke up from a dream and turned to look at Kato Akira.

"What about you? Is there anything else you want to say?"

Kato Akira was silent for a second and said calmly: "This method sounds very powerful, but unfortunately there is no evidence to prove it."

Qin Zhibo smiled slightly, as if he had already guessed what he would say.

"Actually, from the very beginning, I knew you were the kidnapper and murderer we were looking for."

"When we were about to enter the house to search, you accidentally said the word 'bandage man'."

"When we introduced the case to Chiba, we never mentioned the word 'bandage' from beginning to end."

Akira Kato looked stunned and quickly defended: "Yes, I guessed it!"

"After all, you didn't arrest me directly. You must not know the prisoner's appearance, which means there must be something covering the prisoner's face."

"Oh?" Qin Zhibo said suspiciously, "That's strange. If ordinary people think of face coverings, wouldn't they be masks, face shields and the like?"

"How could you immediately think of something as rare as a bandage?"

"This" Kato Akira was speechless for a moment, his head slightly lowered.

At this moment, a short figure rushed out from the door of the living room, holding some photos in his hand.

"I found this in the toilet!"

The person coming was Conan, who caught the attention of Henggou Shigego and Chiba.

Henggou Shigego saw the photo in Conan's arms and thought that the other person was a perverted kidnapper. He probably took photos of the victims in advance, thinking that this was unshakable evidence.

"show me!"

Yokomori Jugo walked over and took the photo in Conan's hand. As soon as he took a closer look, his face turned red.

"This, this, this"

"What are these!"

Qianye also walked over curiously. When he saw the content in the photo, his face instantly turned red with embarrassment. His brain shut down on the spot and he was speechless.

Qin Zhibo was a little confused as to why the photo was so powerful. When he walked over and took a look, he realized that the photo was indeed powerful.

Inside are some photos of lolita, who look shy and endearing.

However, there seems to be some bug when printing the photos, and the Clothes are not printed.

Just when the three of them were shocked by the content of the photo, the sound of broken windows suddenly sounded in the living room.

Wow——

Everyone looked back and saw that Akira Kato, who had been standing there just now, had disappeared.
