"Hey, everyone is here~"

Qin Zhibo sat down at the main seat and glanced at Conan and Hattori Heiji easily, "How is the investigation of the case going?"

Conan and Hattori Heiji's eyebrows twitched, a little surprised.

This was the first time Qin Zhibo asked them about the investigation progress of the case.

Doesn't this uncle still have no clue?

This made Hattori Heiji seem to see the dawn of victory. With a smirk on his lips, he quickly asked: "Uncle, you seemed to have gone to bed just now, right? How was the investigation of the case?"

"So-so..."

Qin Zhibo responded casually, then took the rice bowl handed over by Inufushi Yukihime and said "thank you" in return.

Although he knew the general method of the case and the identity of the murderer, he had no interest in the murderer this time.

Qin Zhibo always feels that this case is not as simple as it seems on the surface, and there are still many unsolved mysteries.

Hattori Heiji immediately stopped his smile, lowered his head and looked at Conan,

Qin Zhibo's casual remark of "Just so-so" made them feel even more stressed.

So-so, it means that the other party has also investigated the key clues of the case and is gradually approaching the truth.

This man even took a nap with ease to replenish his energy...

At this moment, Mao Lilan and Toyama Kazuye on the other side of the dining table did not dare to go to bed because they were afraid of the devil dog, so they could only kill time with the TV quiz show on their mobile phones.

"Xiaolan, do you know this question?"

Yuanshan and Ye were holding the latest mobile phones on the market, which actually had the function of watching live TV, which surprised Qin Zhibo.

Mao Lilan stared at the screen and murmured: "Please put on your glasses and think about it... This should be a reminder, right?"

"Um……"

Mao Lilan groaned, seemingly a little troubled.

Upon seeing this, Qin Zhibo said to Yuan Shan and Ye: "Let me take a look..."

After receiving the mobile phone from Yuan Shan and Ye, Qin Zhibo's eyes were not focused on the puzzle itself, but on He Ye's mobile phone.

This purple phone has a whole screen and three basic function keys at the bottom. It can use the 3G network and should be a smart phone.

This means that even if you change your device to Iphone4, it won't be too conspicuous?

Maybe there is even an Iphone4 on the market...

"Mr. Qin, how are you doing?"

Just when Qin Zhibo was thinking about when to get a charger for his iPhone 4, Yuan Shan and Ye asked.

She was asking Qin Zhibo how the puzzles on the TV show went...

This question and answer show is a bit difficult, but for an adult like Toyama Ginshiro, it should be easy to solve.

Qin Zhibo was stunned for a moment and turned to look at the puzzle.

Unlike traditional knowledge questions and answers that are one-stop to the end, this is a coded answer question.

how to say?

It is really in line with the local characteristics. No wonder the murderers and the deceased here like to write secret codes so much.

The riddle is "Please put on your glasses and think about it." Based on this code, you can guess what the code means.

There is a light spot on it, which is the light of the investigation point.

But this time Qin Zhibo ignored the investigation point and looked at the TV set on the mobile phone screen.

The person who answered the question stood on the answering table and was thinking anxiously. On both sides of the answering table, there were two torches and "fake flames" floating above.

Qin Zhibo knows this kind of fake flame, which uses red cloth strips, lights, and a blower underneath to create a special effect similar to a burning flame.

Although the effect is average, it is enough to express a general meaning.

Suddenly, he thought that he could use this method to create a flame effect on the "Devil Dog".

Although Qin Zhibo had thought clearly about the method of leaving flaming footprints by the "Devil Dog" before, he really did not think of the flames of the "Devil Dog" itself.

But there’s no need to think about it.

Because as long as you confirm that the "magic dog" is fake, you can rush forward and catch it regardless of your own safety the next time it appears.

At that time, no matter what the method is, it will be self-defeating and there will be no need to waste your brains thinking about it.

But now with this step of reminder, the method of "Devil Dog" has been revealed in advance.

However, despite the important reminder, the investigation point still did not appear.

"The puzzle is very simple. The answer is to change me into ne, and it becomes 'The Cat in the Attic'."

"But the flames arranged on the stage next to it look very much like the flames on the 'Devil Dog'..."

Qin Zhibo's casual words immediately alerted Conan and Hattori Heiji who were cooking next to them.

"What?"

"Let me see!"

Hattori Heiji immediately grabbed his cell phone and watched it with Conan.

I saw that the fire special effects on the show are indeed very similar to those on "Magic Dog".

This kind of "false flame" can still be distinguished in a brightly lit environment, but it is not easy to distinguish in a dim night.

These few times the demon dog appeared, it happened to be at night.

Hattori Heiji and Conan immediately looked at each other, and the corners of their mouths slowly raised.

Because if this is the case, Inufushi Chiko has confirmed the identity of the murderer.

First, there's no way his arm was burned by the "fake flame."

Secondly, since he was in close contact with the "devil dog", it was even more impossible that he would not be able to detect the "fake flame".

Thinking of this, Conan's lips showed a confident smile as always.

Now all the mysteries are solved.

This is all a human trick!

Hattori Heiji smiled and returned the phone to Toyama Kazuha, "Kazuha, you have made a great contribution this time..."

"me?"

Yuan Shan and Ye Yi were stunned. Although she heard Qin Zhibo mention the devil dog and stage flames, she was not good at reasoning and could not understand the deep meaning.

But for Conan and Hattori Heiji, there is still a thorny problem.

That means Qin Zhibo also saw through this "fake flame" technique, which means Qin Zhibo also knows who the prisoner is.

In this case, who gets the credit?

Hattori Heiji turned to look at Qin Zhibo, and just as he was about to ask the latter what he thought, Qin Zhibo had already stood up and put the rice bowl into the sink.

"I've finished eating, you can do whatever you want..."

Are we free?

Hattori Heiji and Conan watched Qin Zhibo's back, and they didn't look at each other until he left the dining room.

Does this mean that the credit for this time is given to us?

…

Qin Zhibo walked out of the dining room and walked to the front hall of Inufucheng.

When passing by the living room, I saw Kogoro Mouri and Cao Yamamura sorting out the case.

I saw Yamamura Cao sitting on a chair with his hands on his knees, like a child being scolded by the teacher.

He lowered his head and responded one after another. He was obviously sleepy.

On the other hand, Mouri Kogoro was still very energetic and explained the contents of the case eloquently.

This kind of professionalism is still very worthy of praise.

Qin Zhibo did not come forward to disturb them, but walked directly through the living room and came to the vestibule of Inufucheng.

Throwing the [Hook Claw] towards the wall, and then using his strength to kick against the wall, he left Inubushi Castle.

Leaving Inufushi City at this time, it was natural to search for what Qin Zhibo believed to be the "truth".

I just read the Seven Chapters of Xuanjun's Secret Sutra and found out that the strange beads are Liao Dan, which has the function of allowing the user's consciousness to travel back in time and space.

When Kudo Shinichi died, he happened to be holding this bead in his hand.

Whether this was Kudo Shinichi's own wish or the murderer forced it in, it shows that the source of this bead is Inubushi City.

This reminded Qin Zhibo of the old man he met on the way here who gave directions to the group.

The old man warned them not to go to Inufushi Castle, otherwise they would be overtaken by the "devil dogs" and end up in a tragic end.
