Conan's grammatical investigator

Chapter 498 The missing real culprit

The main task appeared very suddenly, which caught Qin Zhibo by surprise.

It's another esoteric investigation mission, and the mission is only triggered when you see "Keiji Aso".

Qin Zhibo rummaged through the memory in his brain, and then remembered who Keiji Aso was.

Isn't that Ma Cheng's true father?

Musician Keiji Aso, 12 years ago, set fire to his whole family on the night of the full moon when he returned to Moon Shadow Island to visit his relatives.

Something strange happened, which led Asahi to believe that the village head and other accomplices of traffickers killed people and killed them all these years, so Asagi forged his identity and carried out revenge on Moon Shadow Island.

But according to the clues that Qin Zhibo found, the truth turned out to be another kind of collapse.

On the night of Aldebaran's glorious day, musician Aso Keiji's brain failed to resist the test of the "unknown", and he lost his mind and set fire to his wife and children.

The cause of all these tragedies is written on the music code letter he hid in the old warehouse of the village office.

Qin Zhibo felt that Ma Cheng would definitely not be able to accept the truth of such a matter, so he dealt with the letter privately.

In the letter, Keiji Aso said that when he was performing music in Oklahoma, he met some people who called themselves "friar in yellow".

These people publicized the great existence of the "Unspeakable One" to Aso Keiji, and arranged for him to engage in the work of trafficking and trafficking.

Now Qin Zhibo knew that the so-called "Unspeakable One" was Hastur, the king in yellow, and those monks in yellow should be believers who worshiped the king in yellow.

The dossier records show that Regin Ledoux is the person who provided poison to Keiji Aso. Obviously, this Regin Ledoux is a member of the Yellow Seal Brotherhood.

It's a pity that Regin Ledoux has been shot dead by the police, and Qin Zhibo has been unable to find information about the Yellow Seal Brotherhood from him.

However, the main task was to investigate the secret religion, and he had to find at least two members of the Yellow Seal Brotherhood.

It seems that if you want to find clues, you can only look at this 95-year serial murder file.

The case began in 1995 with a murder in a sugar cane field in Oklahoma.

The deceased was a woman named Dora Lan.

Her body was fixed under a tree naked, with two huge antlers fixed on her head, strangle marks all over her body, and a pattern of spiral tentacles printed on her back.

Around the site, there is also a tripod woven of rose thorns, young rattan and thin wicker.

After forensic identification, the deceased had been abused and violated, and had taken narcotics.

The police officers in charge of this case are local state police named Ruster Cole and Martin Hart.

The two first went to the prison to inquire about the deceased Dora Lan's ex-husband, and obtained a confession. Dora Lan said that she wanted to be a "nun" and that she had met a "king".

During the investigation near the place where the deceased lived, two state police officers learned of a disappearance that happened five years ago. The missing girl was a little girl named Fontenot.

Two state troopers learned from the local sheriff that the girl's disappearance case had been dropped by the previous sheriff and that there were other little girls in the area who claimed to have been chased into the woods by a "green-eared spaghetti monster."

In the case files, Qin Zhibo saw photos of the deceased's body, the backup of the statement, and the "green-eared spaghetti monster" drawn by the little girl.

Qin Zhibo recognized the spiral pattern on the back of Dora Lan's body, which was somewhat similar to the yellow seal seen in "The King in Yellow", but it was also slightly different.

And Dora Lan said that she saw the "king", which is probably the king in yellow.
In the ensuing investigation, two state police found the brothel where Dora Lan had worked before her death, and got Dora Lan's diary from her best friend.

Dora Lan's diary recorded the "King in Yellow Robe", "Carcosa", and a yellow church leaflet sandwiched between them.

The two found the church's church based on the above address, but the church had been destroyed by fire, but there was a graffiti mural of a person wearing antlers on the wall.

……

Seeing this, Qin Zhibo probably knew the ins and outs.

The deceased Dora Lan was obviously attracted by members of the Yellow Seal Brotherhood. She believed in the existence of the King in Yellow, and "Kalcosa" is the residence of Hastur in the script of "The King in Yellow". land.

This is somewhat similar to the contact process between Aso Keiji and the group of "yellow monks".

Although Aso Keiji didn't say how he was deeply involved in it, he finally believed in the existence of the king in yellow.

Of course, Qin Zhibo himself believed it.
……

Two savvy and responsible state police followed the clues and found the church in other places. The pastor in the church said that the mural of the "man with antlers" should be painted by the children of the congregation.

And someone in the church knew Dora Lan, and saw someone who had gone into the woods with Dora Lan.

The man was tall, with a very smooth-looking chin that looked like a burn scar.

Many people have seen this entry clue, and after that Dora Lan left the church, this clue is broken here.

Then one of the state troopers found a drowning that happened three years earlier in previous case files.

The deceased was also a woman named Lian.

Her body was determined to have died of drowning, but she had the same body marks, swirls, and drug use as Dora Lane.

Through interviews and investigations, two state police officers learned that Liane's boyfriend was Regin Ledoux.

He used to be a cellmate with Dora Lan's ex-husband, and his ex-husband also shared Dora Lan's cool photos with him.

And this Regin Ledoux mentioned to her ex-husband that some wealthy people in the south would hold a ceremony where women and children would be sacrificed and worshiped under ancient stones.

Not only that, Regin Ledoux also said words like "King in Yellow Robe" and "Carcosa", and showed off the spiral pattern tattoo on his body, claiming that this is their symbol.

As a result, the case suddenly became clear, and Regin Ledoux was wanted, and after a month-long arrest, he was finally arrested.

During the arrest process, Regin Ledoux was shot dead for resisting with a gun, and it seemed that there was no evidence of death.

However, in his hiding place, a large number of smuggling tools and a pair of kidnapped children were found.

So far, the case has been solved.

……

The file of the case has been read.

Although the case that Qin Zhibo himself handled in Japan was the same murder case, it gave people an extremely dark and real feeling.

The murderer will not stay at the scene and wait for the police to arrive. A large number of visits and investigations are the solid foundation for investigating the case, not reasoning that shows off wisdom
At the same time, Qin Zhibo received a task prompt from the system.

-

Side task: find out the murderer of this case
Task requirements: time limit 48 hour
Task reward: 2000 general skill proficiency, 100 social credit
-

Seeing these sudden messages, Qin Zhibo was taken aback for a moment.

Has the real culprit of the case not been arrested yet?
