Conan's grammatical investigator

Chapter 684 × Name Reasoning

According to Tomonorio Kinoshita, voodoo curses are not without cost.

The essence of the voodoo curse is to sign a contract with Baron Samedi to absorb the soul. Once you start to curse, you must continue to curse, otherwise the soul will be taken away by Baron Samedi.

It's a bit like the Death Note, once the name is written down, it's not allowed to stop halfway.

And Kinoshita Tomo believes that he also signed this kind of contract with Baron Samedi, so that he was saved from his destined death.

This is a good thing for Qin Zhibo, because the other party thinks that the voodoo curse is useless to him, so he will not attack him again.

Not only that, they also believed that they had to rely on killing to maintain their lives, and wanted to use this to blackmail themselves.

In this way, before the contract cycle of ingesting souls comes, I can sit back and relax, no one will attack me, but someone will monitor me.

In addition, Kinoshita Tomo will hold some kind of ceremony in the Toushen Forest on the Sabbath.

When reading "Wandering Journey in Africa", Qin Zhibo knew that the Sabbath in Voodoo is Saturday, and every Saturday, Marie Laveau will hold a worship ceremony in the square of Benin.

In other words, Kinoshita Tomosori will hold a ceremony this Saturday.

You can ask Toru Amuro for the specific time later, after all, the scope of Saturday this week is still too vague.

As for the location, Qin Zhibo had never heard of Toushen Forest, so he needed to look it up on the electronic navigation map.

When Qin Zhibo was checking the accounts and thinking about countermeasures, a dazzling message appeared at the edge of Qin Zhibo's field of vision.

[Audit completed, identified as false]

Ok?
Arrived?
Qin Zhibo threw out a financial report and called Police Officer Mumu in.

"Brother Qin! Did you find the clue so quickly?"

Mu Mu had already planned to get off work later, but when he heard a voice coming from inside, he immediately walked in happily.

"Well, it's okay, not too fast."

Qin Zhibo looked at the task time, and now there are less than 1 minutes left before the 10 hour time limit.

Level 3 accounting skills can only do so much.

Police officer Mu Mu took the financial report from Qin Zhibo's hand, and when he saw the names on it, there were actually three people.

"Brother Qin, this financial report was completed by three people."

After working for a long time, I just chose one of the three.

Seeing that the task time was coming soon, Qin Zhibo didn't think too much, and said directly: "Then call all three of them over."

Soon, all three were called into the accounting room.

Police officer Megure began to ask, "What were you three doing when the power went out 50 minutes ago in the mall? Can anyone prove it for you?"

As a result, all three of them replied that they ate alone nearby just now, and the owner of the restaurant should be able to prove that they had been there.

Kido Koji: "I eat Chinese fast food."

Kuroiwa Shigeo: "I eat Western-style fast food."

Kuniyoshi Bunta: "I eat Japanese fast food."

Although all three said that they went to the restaurant for dinner, the owner of the restaurant should not remember the specific time clearly.

This made Police Officer Megure difficult for a while, but Takagi still asked for the locations of the three restaurants first, and went to the boss to confirm the situation.

At this time, Yuanzi, who was trying to show off his IQ, suddenly had an idea and hit his fist on the palm of his hand, thinking of a "good reasoning".

"I know who the murderer is!"

"What! Are you telling the truth?"

Officer Megure turned his head to look at Sonoko Suzuki, his eyes full of hope.

In some previous cases, Suzuki Sonoko occasionally transformed into a detective, cracking cases with inexplicable waltz steps and a handsome sleeping posture.

This made Meguro trust Suzuki Sonoko to a certain extent.

It's just that Suzuki Sonoko's gender can never become Megure's "brother".

At most it is "old girl".

Seeing that she was valued by the police officer, Suzuki Sonoko smiled with satisfaction, pinched Xiao Man's waist with both hands, and began to reason.

"In fact, what the pre-death message left by the deceased really implies is the meal that the deceased liked to eat."

"In order to investigate whether the other party embezzled public funds, the deceased must carefully follow and observe the murderer's every move, especially the changes in eating."

"For example, after getting rich, I often go to high-end restaurants for consumption."

"Therefore, the deceased knew exactly which meal the deceased preferred."

"The ○, ×, and △ imply the hamburgers, forks, and sandwiches in Western food."

"The murderer is Shigeo Kuroiwa, who likes to eat western food!"

Sonoko Suzuki handsomely raised his finger to Shigeo Kuroiwa, and the two people next to him were startled, and quickly gave Heiiwa a C position exclusive to the murderer.

And Mao Lilan, who was next to her, also had a connection with her best friend, and suddenly said: "So, the hamburgers are all round, and the Chinese characters for '×' also have the word 'fork'."

Teacher Judy also raised her finger, and then analyzed: "The △ symbol is a sandwich shaped like a triangle!"

Being fooled by these three women, Police Officer Mugure also felt that it made sense, and turned to look at Kuroiwa Shigeo coldly.

"Is there anything else you want to explain, Mr. Heiyan?"

Kuroiwa Shigeo had cold sweat on his forehead, and quickly explained: "I don't even understand what you are talking about! And it's the first time I went to that Western-style fast food restaurant today. I seldom eat Western food before!"

Kuroiwa Shigeo's language is full of true feelings, but under the stern face of Police Officer Megure, everything is in vain.

"Mr. Heiyan, let's go back to the bureau and talk about anything."

Seeing that Mu Mu was in a hurry to get off work, Qin Zhibo hurriedly stopped him.

"Wait a minute, Officer Megure."

"I think Suzuki Sonoko's reasoning is very good, but it's still a bit far-fetched."

Sonoko: Dinner?

"As my apprentice Toru Amuro judged before, when the deceased had already been attacked and the shopping mall was out of power at that time, the deceased should have thought of more intuitive pre-death messages."

"This kind of message will generally be a special code that everyone will have-name."

"Now comparing the names of these three people with the password, I thought of a possibility."

"Mr. Kuniyoshi Bunta, don't you feel that there are ○, x and △ in your name at the same time?"

While talking, Qin Zhibo wrote Kuniji Bunta's name on a piece of paper and showed it to everyone.

Police officer Mu Mu frowned and stared carefully. Just as he was about to say nothing, he found some clues.

"So that's it! As long as the upper part of 'Ji Wentai' is covered, it will look like ○×△!"

Qin Zhibo deliberately wrote the following part in an abstract way, which is just enough for everyone to understand easily.

Then, Qin Zhibo said: "This code is actually incomplete. It should be that the deceased accidentally wrote the first word on the pedal of the escalator in a dark environment."

"If you can find that word again, everything should be revealed."
