The Grammatical Investigator in Conan

Chapter 923 Humanoid Angel Mao Lilan

"Huh?"×n

The content of Sanzhi Chaoxiang's surrender was different from what they imagined, and everyone was surprised.

Only Qin Zhibo was not so surprised, because he had already seen her gambling skills in the character card of Sanzhi Chaoxiang.

It's just that when it comes to gambling, no matter whether your gambling skills are superb or not, the most important thing is luck.

Under the suspicious eyes of the police and everyone, Sanzhi Asaka could only confess her past.

It turns out that Saegashi Asaka's real name is Kinukawa Atsuko, who is Kinukawa Kazuki's biological mother.

Before Kinukawa Kazuki was born, she met a boyfriend and learned to smoke and gamble under his introduction.

At the beginning, she also tasted some sweetness, and the money she won through gambling was several times more than what she earned at work.

But as she got deeper and deeper, she became a complete gambler; every time she lost money, she wanted to make up for it, even if she borrowed money, she still had to gamble.

One day, after she finally lost all her savings and racked up huge debts in her own name, her boyfriend suddenly disappeared.

The house leaked and it rained all night, and she found out she was pregnant again.

For various reasons, she gave birth to her child. She originally wanted to slowly pay off her debts by working part-time, but she couldn't help but want to gamble every time she made money, and she couldn't get rid of her gambling addiction.

So, realizing that the child had no way out with her, she abandoned the child at the door of the church. From then on, she became anonymous and made a living by working everywhere.

After listening to Sanzhi Asaka's story, everyone at the murder scene was a little moved.

Qin Zhibo thought for a while, and if what she said was true, then it was probably someone who "set the stage".

The so-called "boyfriend" should be a professional at this, first giving some bait, making people take the bait, defrauding money and sex, and then leaving after the target has no use value.

Of course, this is assuming she's not lying.

Now it's just her one-sided words. Regardless of what she said, it may be that she is just a bad gambler and has nothing to do with others.

You know, people who are deeply involved in gambling will lie about anything just for money.

You only need to tell a lie a hundred times before you even believe it, let alone others.

Obviously, Officer Henggou, who had seen this kind of person, didn't completely believe it, and asked: "But just now we called Mr. Kamoshita's publishing house to confirm..."

"Kamoshita once said that the biological mother of the child star Kinukawa Kazuki asked him to meet in the room. She also said that the biological mother blackmailed Kinukawa's agency, saying that Kinukawa's biological father was a fugitive murderer. If he didn't want the public to know , just remit 20 million yen to her."

Just now, at Conan's prompt, Officer Henggou contacted Yaxia's publishing house and obtained this information.

Yaxia first got this information from the agency, and then came to confirm it with his biological mother. He also planned to secretly take photos of the other party and write a report to be published on the front page tomorrow.

Hearing these contents, Kinukawa Kazuki looked at his mother in shock again. He didn't expect that his mother was worse than he imagined. Even his father, who had never been shown before, was a fugitive murderer?

Saegusa Asaka looked at the child's shocked expression and subconscious half-step back, and quickly shook her head to defend herself.

"No! I have never asked this kid's agency for 20 million!"

Henggou Zhenwu squinted his eyes slightly, full of doubt. Although he is not responsible for catching gamblers, he has seen too many scenes of gamblers lying in the police station to gain sympathy.

"Are you still gambling now? If so, 20 million should be very important to you, right?"

Henggou's soul torture made Sanzhi Chaoxiang speechless for a moment.

Because she has not completely given up gambling, she chose the job of hotel waitress because every time she gambles and loses everything, at least she can take care of food and housing here, so she doesn't have to worry about her livelihood.

"...But I really have never blackmailed the agency!"

"I've never killed anyone!"

After admitting in disguise that she was still gambling, Sanzhi Asaka's defense became increasingly feeble.

Conan looked at Saegashi Asaka who was defending and felt that she might not be the murderer in the case.

Because if she is the murderer, she should know that as long as she admits to gambling in front of the police, it is equivalent to admitting to killing Yaxia.

Unless she didn't know about the appointment between her "biological mother" and Yaxia.

But even so, Kinukawa Kazuki is pitiful enough.

Conan turned his head and glanced at Kinukawa Kazuki. His eyes no longer regarded him as an "enemy", but rather sympathized with him.

At this time, Kinukawa Kazuki, who felt that he had been deceived, chose to escape again, turned around and ran out of the murder scene.

Mao Lilan hurriedly chased after her, and Sanzhi Chaoxiang also called out, trying to persuade her to stay.

"Xiaohe!"

Saegashi Asaka wants to chase her out, but at this time she is already an important suspect in the case and will definitely not be able to leave.

At this moment, Qin Zhibo suddenly asked her: "Have you ever told someone in the hotel that you are Kinukawa Kazuhui's mother?"

"Just like the two people around you..."

Sanzhi Asaka glanced at the two people behind her and immediately identified the short-haired woman among them.

"I told Toshiko about this!"

The short-haired girl Bessho Toshiko's eyes were startled, and she subconsciously raised her hands in a "defensive" gesture.

"Oh?" Qin Zhibo turned his head and looked at Bessho Toshiko, "Is that so? Miss Bessho?"

Shiko Bessho Nobori glanced at Sanzhi Chaoxiang in horror, then at Officer Henggou, and shook his head repeatedly in defense: "No, I never knew about this!"

"You lied!" Sanzhi Chaoxiang gritted her teeth angrily, obviously she had told her this personally.

Qin Zhibo raised his hand to stop the three sticks of morning incense and said, "Actually, you can tell who is lying after a test."

"But before that, let me tell you how the murderer killed Yaxia here..."

Hearing this, Mouri Kogoro looked shocked, and Henggou Shenwu looked happy and shouted: "Don't you know the truth already! Mr. Qin!"

"Yeah." Qin Zhibo nodded.

"First of all, Yaxia made an appointment with the murderer to meet in the room. The murderer who attended the appointment first borrowed the bathroom in Yaxia's room. The reason was probably because he was sweating."

"When the murderer took off his clothes in the bathroom, he asked Yaxia to come in and check on the excuse that the shower head in the bathroom didn't seem to be working."

"Of course, if an ordinary customer faced this kind of request, he would feel very strange. The other party is the waitress here. Why would a customer come in to fix the shower head?"

"But for Yaxia who wanted to secretly take photos of each other, this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, so Yaxia entered the bathroom with his cell phone."

"When Yaxia entered the bathroom, the murderer used the shower head to knock Yaxia unconscious, and then used something in the room to strangle the deceased."

"The murderer is very smart. Although a shower head can crush a duck to death, she deliberately used that thing to cover up her murder. As long as the police can't find the murder weapon, they can't be convicted."

Henggou Shenwu, who was anxious to know the answer, quickly asked: "Then what exactly is this murder weapon?"

Qin Zhibo smiled slightly and pointed to the movie tape that the forensic staff had processed and placed on the table, "That's it."

Mouri Kogoro and Henggou Sango walked over curiously and looked at the things on the table.

"Is it a videotape?"

"But how can this thing kill people? This is not..."

Midway through his words, Mouri Kogoro suddenly realized something.

Conan also had an idea and figured everything out.

"Yes, as long as you pull out the tape cord inside, it can be used as a murder weapon to strangle people. Afterwards, you can just burn it and flush it into the sewer and no one will be able to find it."

"Although the tape seems to be very soft, you can understand this if you try it yourself."

After hearing this, Henggou Sengo quickly asked his subordinates to get a brand new tape, and he wanted to test it himself.

However, Qin Zhibo stopped him and said, "No need, Officer Henggou, because the results of the test have been shown to everyone by this Miss Bessho."

Qin Zhibo suddenly pointed at Bessho Toshiko, like a hammer, completely closing the case.

Bessho Noboshi's expression changed, and she quickly shook her head in denial, "No! I didn't kill anyone!"

"And everyone can do the techniques you mentioned! Saegusa is the same!"

Saegashi Asaka looked at her "plastic best friend" in disbelief. It was obvious that she had made the wrong person again.

Qin Zhibo was about to continue reasoning, when Kogoro Mouri suddenly stood in front and said confidently: "Humph, you didn't think of it, did you?"

"Actually, there is one more crucial piece of evidence that you don't know, and that is the photo you took of the deceased when he was strangled to death!"

With a look from Mouri Kogoro, Yokomori realized it and showed the cellphone photo of her breasts half-exposed in a righteous manner.

Mouri Kogoro: "There is a mole on the murderer's body. This is irrefutable proof!"

Henggou realized: "Yeah! Yeah!"

Just when the two of them looked smug and thought that the murderer could no longer defend themselves, Bessho Noborishiko directly opened his kimono and revealed the contents inside.

"Wow!"

Mouri Kogoro shouted, but his face did not turn red. The "young and inexperienced" Henggou Sengo blushed instead.

There were no moles on the skin between the collarbone and the pink bra.

"Look, I don't have any moles at all!"

When Bessho Toshiko said this, Mouri Kogoro and Henggou Sengo didn't know how to proceed for a while. They could only look back at Qin Zhibo with pleading eyes.

Qin Zhibo shook his head helplessly. He originally wanted to say it directly, but these two people insisted on embarrassing themselves.

Conan, who also knew the truth, was helpless at Uncle Maori's performance and shook his head along with Qin Zhibo.

Seeing Qin Zhibo shaking his head, Mouri Kogoro couldn't say anything.

But when he saw Conan standing next to him shaking his head with an expression that said, "Rotten wood cannot be carved," I immediately became furious.

"Hey! Why are you shaking your head?"

Mouri Kogoro walked over and gave Conan a very pleasant blow to his head.

Qin Zhibo explained: "Actually, the black spots in the photo are not moles, but the blood stains on the duck's body when he attacked the duck with a shower head. It was only because of the shooting that people mistakenly thought it was a mole."

"But I'm curious. Are you worried about something when you lift your clothes for inspection in such a hurry?"

"For example, that little blood stain is also printed on the clothes..."

After hearing this, Henggou's old face stopped blushing. He walked over and grabbed a corner of his kimono. As expected, there was a little red blood stain inside.

The evidence was clearly on his body, and Bessho Toshiko could not refute anything.

"Why did you do this?" Sanzhi Chaoxiang turned to ask the person she once trusted most in confusion.

Bessho Toshiko frowned and revealed her motive.

It turns out that all her motives were driven by a woman's jealousy. She was jealous that Asaka Saegashi had a son, and he was a star son.

In order to destroy the relationship between mother and son, she fabricated the fact that Kinukawa's biological father was a murderer and extorted 20 million yen from the agency.

Because Saegusa Asaka told her the details of the day she abandoned Kinukawa, she successfully passed several questions asked by the agency to test her biological mother's identity, and received 20 million in money. She also asked the agency to refuse to accept postcards sent by Saegusa Asaka from now on.

Originally, the matter was over, but Yaxia didn't know how to get the clues, so he suddenly came over and threatened her with blackmail, forcing her to show up.

Of course, when she went to the appointment, she also planned to silence him.

Sanzhi Asaka looked at her "best friend" in shock. She had no idea that the person she was closest to in this hotel would actually do such a thing behind her back.

Bessho Toshiko looked at Sanzhi morning incense and said lightly: "Sanzhi, I'm sorry..."

"But I still don't regret doing this. Can you understand the feeling of a woman who wants to have a child?"

"Sorry, I can't understand."

Just when Bessho Noboshiko was about to be taken out of the room by Henggou Sengo, Mao Lilan held Kinukawa Kazuki's hand and stood at the door.

She retrieved Kinukawa and Hui from outside, and the two of them stood outside listening to what was going on inside.

But when she heard the murderer's motive for doing all this, she couldn't bear it anymore and took the initiative to stand up.

"Although I'm not old enough to be a mother, I can't imagine destroying other people's happiness just because I don't get it..."

"If that day really comes, I will smile and send my blessings..."

Conan stared at the woman he admired.

Xiaolan...

Bessho Noboshiko stared at Mao Lilan with a serious expression, and for a moment he didn't know how to refute.

Her eyes looked lonely for a moment, and she didn't know if she had clearly recognized her twisted values, and followed Henggou's enlightenment and left silently.

With the arrest of the real murderer, Qin Zhibo's system promptly popped up a prompt.

[Congratulations on completing the side mission]

[Task rating: B+]

[Acquire 600 general skill proficiency]

[Get 150 social credits]

[Rating reward: 380]

The task rating is good, and just as Qin Zhibo guessed, "stealing answers" will lower the rating.

Before guessing the case of the deceased in advance, Qin Zhibo used [Guard Totem] to track the moment when the deceased was killed by the murderer, and then deduced the evidence.

Although this kind of crime-solving process is simple and fast, and the social credit rewards are more, some rating rewards will also be reduced accordingly.

For Qin Zhibo now, it is more important to obtain more general skill proficiency.
