Conan's grammatical investigator

Chapter 208 Finding the Arrow Contest

Qin Zhibo was pleasantly surprised when he saw that the task reward had a full 1000 general skill proficiency.

But then, Qin Zhibo saw the task time again, which was only 10 minutes.

Isn't it usually an hour?
In the 10-minute time to solve the case, every second counts, and Qin Zhibo immediately began to scan his surroundings, searching for investigation points.

Among the crowd, Kikue Tanaka looked gloomyly at Takeki Doi, who was performing an autopsy on Toshiya Hamano alone in the snow.

Immediately, her eyes turned to the woods deep in the snow.

As soon as she learned of the location of the meeting of the Magic Lovers Alliance, she came here a week in advance to investigate the terrain, and formulated a "magnificent" killing method like magic.

As long as you use hand crossbows and ropes to create a sling like a triangle sail in the air, you can create impossible crimes on the snow-covered ground.

There were no footprints on the snow, but the corpse appeared in the middle of the snow, as if the murderer was a demon with wings.

It's just that this magical killing method also has a flaw, that is, he can only use the third arrow to take the rope that hangs the corpse to a distance.

As for the two fulcrums of the jib sling, the arrows had to be taken away manually.

Tanaka Kikue's original plan was to set up organs in the villa to create the illusion of outsiders firing arrows into the villa, and then use himself as a bait to lure everyone into the woods.

In this way, she can take advantage of the chaos to pull out the arrows from the tree and hide them in her boots.

This murder method that took a week to come up with should have been seamless, but with the appearance of Qin Zhibo, Kikue Tanaka's plan was completely disrupted.

Not long after Qin Zhibo appeared, he reminded everyone of the damage to the suspension bridge and the telephone line, which resulted in the cancellation of the planned segment of the program.

Without the free time in the program, she would not have the opportunity to arrange traps in the villa as she wished.

In addition, Qin Zhibo suddenly recognized her as Harujing Fuden's granddaughter. Once other magic lovers knew about this, they would definitely think of the "Shadow Mage" who quarreled with the "Escape King" because of Harujing Fuden's death.

And when I killed the "Escape King", I had already left a message on the computer, saying that the "Shadow Mage" killed the person.

So if I don't resolutely implement the murder plan, I may never have another chance in the future, and I will be suspected by others.

For this reason, Kikue Tanaka could only overthrow most of the original plans and create a version 2.0 of magic killing techniques.

The content of this version is very simple, that is, to use the spinnaker magic technique formulated at the beginning to kill Hamano Toshiya first.

Then use acting skills to confuse the crowd, rush into the woods, find an opportunity to recover the arrows stuck in the trees, and then put the arrows and hand crossbows into the hot water stove to destroy all the evidence.

Otherwise, when the police go up the mountain, there will be no chance to recover it.

time to start acting
Next, it's time to test your acting skills!
In the crowd, since Conan had already said that the "Shadow Mage" killed the chat room leader, the magic lovers immediately regarded the "Shadow Mage" wandering around the villa as a prisoner.

Naoko Kuroda, the glasses girl, trembled, and asked, "Could it be that 'Shadow Mage' is somewhere nearby waiting to take our lives?"

Kikue Tanaka took the opportunity to interject: "Are you kidding me?"

"He's just one person. There are so many of us, how could we be intimidated by him!"

After that, Kikue Tanaka strode towards the dark woods and shouted angrily.

"Come out! Shadow Mage!"

"I know you're here!"

"Don't be timid!"

"You have the ability to come out!"

Seeing Kikue Tanaka's reckless behavior, other magic lovers were worried and rushed into the woods.

"Miss Tanaka, it's dangerous outside!"

"Come back soon!"

In the woods, all kinds of voices were chaotic, and Kikue Tanaka's goal was achieved.

Long before rushing into the woods, Kikue Tanaka aimed at one of the tree trunks with arrows stuck in it. Now he only needs to run to that tree and pull out the arrow.

Five meters, four meters, three meters.
Arrived!

Just when Tanaka Kikue was about to reach out to the arrow stuck in the tree trunk, the other hand was the first to reach the arrow shaft first.

Wearing a white glove on the firm and powerful palm, with a little force, he pulled out the arrow that had been inserted deeply into the tree trunk.

"Found it, the first one."

Qin Zhibo looked at the arrow in his hand with a rather pleased expression.

Immediately, Qin Zhibo raised his hand and handed the arrow to Kikue Tanaka, put on an expression of "returning it to its original owner", and asked, "Miss Tanaka, is this arrow yours?"

Tanaka Kikue naturally shook his head in denial.

"How is it possible? I'm just passing by, I've never seen this arrow before"

After all, Kikue Tanaka hurriedly ran in another direction, shouting as he ran, "Shadow Mage! Come out if you are a man!"

Although an arrow fell into the detective's hands, the situation was not serious.

Because I had long thought that the arrow might not be recovered in time, I deliberately wiped off the fingerprints on the arrow when I fired it.

In fact, the purpose of recovering the arrows is not to allow the police to infer the impossible criminal method of the triangle sail through the arrows left on the tree.

Now there are still two arrows, as long as they can be retrieved smoothly, no one can think of the "triangle sail" technique!

Kikue Tanaka continued to create confusion with sound in the dark woods, while standing in the clearing of the woods to judge the direction.

Although the woods were dark, and the position of the other tree with arrows could not be seen at all, but as long as the figure of the triangle sail was used and the villa was used as the origin, the approximate direction of the other tree could be predicted.

Adjusting the direction, Tanaka ran towards another fulcrum of the woods.

After running for a while, Tanaka's pupils flickered.

There!

It's that tree!
Coming soon!
But when Kikue Tanaka was about to run to a tree less than ten meters away and draw an arrow, another person took the lead.

It was still the familiar white glove, easily pulling out the arrow stuck in the tree.

"again."

Not far away, Qin Zhibo muttered to himself while holding the two arrows in his hand, which caused some changes in Kikue Tanaka's mentality.

Why is this man looking for arrows faster than me?

wrong!

How did he know there were arrows in the woods?

Did he see me shoot arrows into the woods?
impossible!
If that's the case, he'll know straight away that I'm the culprit.
I am not satisfied!
There is one last arrow, I must find it!
