Conan's grammatical investigator

Chapter 94 Another fake girl?
"Murder warning letter!"

Mao Lilan repeated what Qin Zhibo said in disbelief, and even Kogoro Moori, who was smoking on the deck not far away, moved his ears.

"Yes." Qin Zhibo handed the entrustment letter to Conan who was eager to see through it, "Although the statement is a bit cryptic, this should be what the client wants to express."

Conan at his feet held the entrustment letter in both hands, and really couldn't figure out what it had to do with the murder notice letter.

It's not that Conan has never received the murder notice letter.

Before his body became smaller, Conan, who was Kudo Shinichi, received many crime warning letters.

Or a challenge to Kudo Shinichi.

But those notice letters are fundamentally different from this notice letter.

Since this person wanted to challenge the famous detective, why didn't he just write down his purpose clearly.

Are you afraid of police intervention?

Moreover, a signature that does not look like a pseudonym is left behind, which really does not meet the characteristics of a general crime warning letter.

"That... You said it was a murder notice letter, do you have any evidence?"

Conan, who gave up working behind closed doors, raised his head and asked Qin Zhibo.

"Well—it's actually very simple. The letter itself is a simple riddle."

"The key words of the phrase The night of the next full moon are the full moon and the shadow."

"As we all know, the conditions for the generation of shadows are light sources and obstacles, so the way to make shadows disappear is nothing more than erasing one of these two conditions."

"The first is the light source. The time limit for the riddle is on a full moon night, so the light source is guaranteed."

"Then the riddle actually refers to making things that act as obstacles disappear."

"Next, please pay attention to the word 'disappear again' in the riddle, indicating that this obstacle also disappeared on Moon Shadow Island before."

"You should have heard a saying that the shadow is the soul of a person. If a person dies, the soul represented by the shadow will disappear."

"So the death that must have existed on Moon Shadow Island is the so-called disappearance."

"Then 'disappearing again' is letting people die."

Qin Zhibo's reasoning was done in one go, but in fact he just expressed the results obtained from the secret language investigation just now.

Not only that, Qin Zhibo also got a side mission from this letter.

Side task: complete the entrustment on the entrustment letter
Task requirements: time limit 48 hour
Task reward: 500 skill proficiency, 100 social credit
At this moment, Mori Kogoro, who had been eavesdropping, couldn't hold back any longer, and came over and snatched the entrustment letter from Conan.

"You mean someone challenged me, the famous detective Mori Kogoro, and wanted me to try to see if I could stop him?"

Qin Zhibo nodded noncommittally.

"hateful!"

"This Aso Keiji actually dared to provoke me! When I get to the island, I will find you out immediately, and then..."

For evil, Maori Kogoro gritted his teeth and hated it.

However, both Qin Zhibo and Conan felt that it would not be so easy to find Keiji Aso.

Since he dared to leave this signature, then...
"I'm very sorry, but I couldn't find the name anyway."

"Are you sure you're looking for someone named Keiji Aso?"

In the village office, the young staff searched back and forth on the resident register of Moon Shadow Island, but they couldn't find a person named Keiji Aso.

Mori Kogoro did not give up, and took out the entrustment letter in his arms to prove to the clerk that there was someone there.

At this time, a slightly older employee came over to ask about the situation.

But when Mori Kogoro told him that the person he was looking for was Aso Keiji, he immediately showed a shocked expression.

"Aso Keiji!"

The voice of the elderly staff was so loud that the islanders who came to the village office to do business were shocked, and then they talked a lot.

"No, there is no such thing!"

The elderly staff opened their eyes wide and said tremblingly, "Because, because of him, he died more than ten years ago!"

The Mori father and daughter were so startled that they backed up a bit, but Qin Zhibo and Conan had already been mentally prepared, so they didn't react too much at the moment.

Since it was a murder notice, how could someone leave his real name on it?

However, leaving a dead person's name is also somewhat unexpected.

"How did this person die, can you tell us?"

Qin Zhibo asked.

It seems that social skills (speech skills) are activated, or it may be that this elderly employee just likes to tell outsiders about the affairs of the village.

In short, he invited everyone to the back room to talk.

"Keiji Aso. He was born on this island."

"In the past, he was a very famous pianist and was invited to perform overseas all the year round."

"That incident happened on the night of the full moon twelve years ago. After many years, he returned to his hometown and held a piano concert in the public hall in the village."

"It's a pity that after the recital, he suddenly closed his family at home and set fire to it."

"It is said that he killed his wife and daughter with a knife, and played the piano as if possessed by something in the raging fire."

"The repertoire I played was the famous Beethoven piece, "Moonlight"."

The older staff finished the story with eloquence. The Maoli family was immersed in the story and couldn't extricate themselves. Qin Zhibo asked a very realistic question.

"May I ask how many permanent residents there are on the island?"

"Well, there are about nine hundred people."

900 choose 1.
The 48-hour task time limit seems to be difficult to complete?
After leaving the village office, the investigation hit a bottleneck.

If you want to complete the entrustment on the entrustment letter, you must at least find the entruster first.

However, Qin Zhibo's investigation system is easier to use in the narrower the environment, preferably the one that can see all the investigation points by looking around.

But now the scope of investigation is basically the entire Moon Shadow Island, and every resident on Moon Shadow Island may be the person who sent the entrustment letter.

Even with the investigation system in hand, it was difficult for Qin Zhibo to find the specific direction of investigation.

Is it necessary to visit these 48 islanders within 900 hours and see if there are any investigation points in their homes?

This idea is obviously undesirable, and it is also an impossible task.

So Qin Zhibo decided to follow the plan discussed by the Maori family first, and first went to the village public hall to ask the village chief if Keiji Aso had any friends or relatives before his death.

Because since the name of Aso Keiji was borrowed, it must be someone who has some relationship with Aso Keiji.

From the village office to the public hall, Qin Zhibo, who has a navigator, will not get lost.

In order to complete the task quickly, Qin Zhibo decided not to pretend, and took the Maoli family straight to the public hall.

"Uncle Qin, how do you know the way?"

"I looked at the map before I came here."

Conan: Where did you get the map for this kind of place?

Qin Zhibo: I'm sorry, it's really arrogant to have a system, don't you agree?

Although Conan was puzzled by this statement, he didn't care too much.

After all, I am used to it.

And at this moment, a female voice came from the clinic by the roadside.

"Be sure to sleep well when you get back."

The voice was very sweet, and there were no other disturbances on the side of the road, so it naturally attracted the attention of Qin Zhibo and others.

The voice came from a beautiful doctor with ponytails at the entrance of the clinic.

When Qin Zhibo looked at the beautiful doctor, he saw the personal information floating on his head.

Name: Naomi Asai

Sex: Male
Age: 26
Occupation: Doctor

Social credit: 1850
