Conan's grammatical investigator

Chapter 292 Reasoning Race Benchmark

Qin Zhibo wanted to borrow a lighter, and Toba Kento, who had never smoked, shook his head doubtfully.

On the other hand, Toshiaki Fujisawa and Kento Toba's girlfriend handed over the lighter.

Qin Zhibo looked at the two lighters handed over, and chose the lighter in the beautiful woman's hand very seriously.

With a lighter in hand, Qin Zhibo began to greet everyone again.

"Everyone, I just received a card saying that the first edition of "A Study in Scarlet" is in the garage."

"I suspect it's a murderer's trap, so I invite everyone to go and confirm."

When the first edition of "A Study in Scarlet" was mentioned, almost everyone's eyes became eager.

After all, once the innkeeper dies, the first edition of this book is considered to be an ownerless thing to some extent.

If you can discover it quietly and hide it secretly, you will be able to take possession of this precious book.

"Ahem. Since it might be a murderer's trap, let's go together. Just because there are so many people and strength, the murderer can't do any tricks."

"Correct!"

The fans of Sherlock Holmes hit it off immediately and rushed out to the garage, fearing that someone would find the book first.

White Horse Tan, Conan, Mori Ran, and Aso Shishi didn't want to disgracefully possess the book, but they also followed the others out. Only Kento Toba sat in his seat and refused to move.

Of course, Kento Toba didn't dare to go to the garage, because he knew that the concentration of gasoline in the garage at this time exceeded the standard, and it was not a place for people to stay at all.

That Qin Zhibo actually took everyone to check the garage together!This is going to explode!
Didn't he want to keep the book for himself?

You hypocritical fan!
Now Kento Toba can only hope that no one notices him and that he stays in this safe place.

As long as the gasoline vapors in the garage are detonated by the lighter, everyone will die except yourself.

When the police came, it could be said that he was lying in the room to rest because he was not feeling well, so he survived by luck.

If he was the only one who survived, the police would have no choice but to believe what he said.

It's just that he killed 11 people including his girlfriend in one go, and even elementary school students among them. Kento Toba's insignificant conscience is still a little nervous.

However, he soon thought of an idea to calm his conscience.

It's not my fault!It's you Qin Zhibo!
You're the one who dragged those guys to check out the garage!
His hands were tightly clenched on the table, his head was lowered, and his forehead was covered with fine cold sweat.

I don't exist, I don't exist, I don't exist×n
However, a voice came slowly, breaking Toba Kento's illusion of being an invisible person.

"Mr. Toba, why don't you go to the garage and have a look?"

Kento Toba shook his body, showing a very reluctant smile, "I won't go, I'll just stay here"

"How can that be? What if the murderer turns back and kills you?"

Kento Toba who received concern from strangers: "."

did i kill myself
"It's safer for everyone to move together, come here together."

Just like that, Kento Toba, who didn't want to go to the garage, was dragged into the garage by Qin Zhibosheng as if he was going to the execution ground.

With the open garage door, everyone looked around in the garage with the natural light from the outside.

However, among the mess in the garage, no one has found the precious first edition book yet.

Qin Zhibo directly pulled Kento Toba to the back seat of the car, opened the door, and said, "The card says that the book is under the back seat of the car."

"Now I'm going to look under the seat of the car. You stand here and supervise whether I have hidden that book privately."

The corners of Kento Toba's mouth twisted, and he quickly waved his hands and said, "No, no, I really believe in Mr. Qin's character, so I'll go out first."

Kento Toba wanted to escape from this narrow space that was about to become a purgatory on earth, but Qin Zhibo didn't give Kento Toba this chance at all. His strong and powerful hand tightly grabbed Kento Toba's wrist, and the other hand held onto Kento Toba's wrist. He directly took out the lighter that was coming just now.

"It's okay, what's the relationship with everyone?"

"I want to light a fire!"

slap~
With a crisp sound of metal rubbing, Qin Zhibo lifted the metal cover of the lighter, and pressed his thumb on the flint roller.

"what!"

Kento Toba let out a scream, his body sank quickly, and he fell to the ground with his head in his arms.

A dancing flame ignited in the lighter, but the garage did not explode as expected, and the air was unusually calm.

Everyone was stunned, staring at Kento Toba lying on the ground, not knowing what serious illness this person had for a while.

And Kento Toba, who was lying on the ground, closed his eyes tightly for ten seconds before he realized that he didn't feel the flames on his body.

"This"

Kento Toba lay on the ground like a bastard, looking up at the people around him at a loss.

Qin Zhibo pointed to the "bastard" on the ground, and said solemnly: "Let me introduce to you the murderer who killed the hotel owner, Mr. Kento Toba!"

At this moment, everyone showed a look of surprise, including Detective Baima and Conan, who were unable to react in time.

Why did Kento Toba suddenly be identified as the murderer?

Looking at Kento Toba lying on the ground with a tense expression, Tan Hakuba and Conan stared, as if they understood something.

"In fact, Mr. Toba's method of killing the innkeeper is very simple. First, he killed the innkeeper the night before, and then adjusted his posture and hid it in the jeep that had already started."

"According to the time of stiffness after death, the stiff feet can withstand the brakes and keep the car in its original position."

"Then you turn on the warm air of the car's air conditioner and let the warm air speed up the time for the dead body to unstiff. When the dead body gradually begins to soften, the brakes will loosen and the car will start by itself."

"As for the sudden acceleration of the car, it should be caused by the bumpy road that caused the corpse's foot to slide off the brake pedal. It's just a coincidence."

"And the card you gave me just now is actually intended to detonate gasoline vapor in this garage to get rid of me who already knows this trick."

"It's just that this method was designed in advance for someone with a lighter. You said you received this card, but you don't even have a lighter."

"So you are the real murderer!"

Qin Zhibo's reasoning also solved the doubts in Tan Baima and Conan's mind, that is why the dashboard was covered with a white cloth, it was because they were afraid that someone would see that the heating light on the car was on and be caught by others. Figure out this trick.

It turned out to be such a simple method!
Conan and Baima Tan sighed in their hearts at the same time, and they both believed that as long as they had more time to think, they would definitely be able to solve this trick.

hateful!If only I had a little more time!
Unknowingly, Conan and Detective Baima have regarded Qin Zhibo's speed of solving cases as a benchmark for reasoning.
