Chapter 761 Maginot Line of Defense(1/2)

Outside the banquet hall, Qin Zhibo was following the unscrupulous reporter with a big belly.

Judging from the name floating above his head, his name is Ed Mike, and he is not Japanese.

After provoking it in full view of everyone, he went alone to the guest room in the middle of the fourth floor, took out his room card, and entered.

As far as Qin Zhibo knows, this hotel will not officially open until today.

This person got the room card in advance, which should be a bonus for getting the invitation letter.

The person who not only has the power to issue invitations at will, but also has room cards, should be one of the three owners of the hotel.

This is actually an invitation to death.

Qin Zhibo threw a guard totem that had just cooled down into the room, allowing him to monitor the situation inside.

In the room, Ed Mike was sitting at the dining table, enjoying a sushi meal alone.

That thumb-sucking expression of enjoyment was completely unaware that his death was imminent.

Of course, Qin Zhibo would not rush into the room at this time and say that someone wants to kill you.

There is a story in the classic comic "Doraemon" in which Nobita learned in advance that his fat tiger father would be hit by a car through a time machine.

As a result, Nobita went to the scene of the car accident and pushed Fat Tiger's father down in advance, but was beaten by Fat Tiger instead.

From this story, in addition to knowing "Fat Tiger = Newborn", we can also learn that the so-called precognition is just the understanding of the current world line.

When the "butterfly flutters its wings", the world line will change, and the previously predicted content will no longer exist.

Moreover, some people are full of bad water, and even Jesus cannot keep them, Conan said.

After placing the guard totem, Qin Zhibo returned to the banquet hall.

The interactive session here has just ended, and the staff is clearing the place to allow all guests to exit in an orderly manner.

Conan met the Maori family and the Hattori couple head-on, and was a little surprised to see Qin Zhibo just back from outside.

"Uncle Qin, where have you been?"

Qin Zhibo said casually: "I went to the toilet, what? Is the reception over now?"

Mouri Kogoro shook his head and said angrily: "It seems that we are going to do some outdoor activities and let everyone go out."

"Really, how can there be any reason to invite people in and then kick them out?"

In the first half, Mouri Kogoro just chatted with the female star and hadn't started eating yet. He was a little worried that he wouldn't be able to repay the fare.

Qin Zhibo glanced at the three sports stars on the stage, seemingly discussing something.

Qin Zhibo didn't agree with this, just to see what tricks he would play next.

After arriving outside the building, Mao Lilan took out the walkie-talkie in her hand and told her what Ray Katis told her.

It turned out that the three of them wanted to use the lights in the hotel rooms to piece together a letter "K" on the building.

Ray Catis, who plays football, is in charge of the third and fourth floors.

Mike Nord, who plays baseball, is in charge of the fifth and sixth floors.

Rika Barre, who plays boxing, is in charge of the seventh and eighth floors.

The three of them performed their respective duties, and under the command of Mao Lilan, they were working on turning the lights on and off in an orderly manner.

While everyone was looking up at the hotel building, only Qin Zhibo had his eyes closed and was observing Reporter Ed in the guest room on the fourth floor.

At this time, the lights in Ed's room had been turned off, and he was sitting motionless on the sofa in the living room, as if waiting for something.

Suddenly, the doorbell rang outside the door.

Ed stood up and opened the door, but didn't see anyone.

"Hey? What are you doing?"

Ed opened the door and shouted towards the corridor, but what he heard in response was a gunshot.

Pia——

Ed was shot, his swollen body was holding on to the door frame, and he was still struggling to run into the room.

But the killer chased him directly to the door and shot Ed again in the body.

Then, he quickly threw the gun next to Ed's body and closed the door.

Qin Zhibo saw that face clearly.

It's Ray Katis.

While everyone was immersed in the surprise of the hotel's light show, a discordant sound suddenly came from the air.

Pia——

In less than two seconds, there was another gunshot, accompanied by the sound of shattering glass.

Pia——

Afterwards, three sports stars in the hotel popped their heads out of the windows.

Rika Barre: "What's wrong?"

Mike Nord: "What happened?"

Ray Katis: "Was that a gunshot?"

The "K" of 3K became the "K" of Kill.

Everyone present was shocked and at a loss for a moment. Only Conan and Hattori Heiji were the first to react, with stern expressions on their faces.

"He Ye, tell the three of them not to move around in the room!"

Hattori Heiji warned and hurriedly ran upstairs with Conan.

At this time, Mouri Kogoro remembered that he was also a detective and hurriedly chased after him.

After Mouri Kogoro had already run away, Qin Zhibo, who was standing there, slowly opened his eyes and walked slowly into the building.

Conan and Hattori Heiji, who were one step ahead, quickly ran to the room with broken glass and saw the obese patient lying in a pool of blood.

Conan hurriedly walked in and took a look, only to find that it was the American reporter who was provocative during the reception just now.

The reporters were gone, and Conan and Hattori Heiji hurriedly investigated the scene while the body was still warm.

There was a revolver next to the body, which should be the murder weapon.

There is also a reporter who is holding the belt with his right hand and making a gesture with the number three with his left hand, which seems to have some meaning.

As soon as the body was examined, Kogoro Mouri rushed over.

This surprised Conan and Hattori Heiji. In the past, Qin Zhibo should have arrived at this time.

However, considering that Qin Zhibo was injured, it is understandable that he is slower than Uncle Maori.

After a while, some on-site reporters who had heard about the news also came one after another.

Conan, Hattori Heiji: "."

After a while, the hotel staff came.

Conan, Hattori Heiji: "."

After a while, Mao Lilan and Yuan Shanheye also came.

Conan, Hattori Heiji: "."

After everyone who was supposed to come had almost arrived, Qin Zhibo walked over slowly.

Hattori Heiji, who was waiting impatiently, said, "Uncle, why did you come?"

Hattori Heiji was still waiting for Qin Zhibo to come over, and then he officially started reasoning about the case.

After all, the main purpose of inviting Qin Zhibo this time was to avenge the shame of the Anti-Qin Alliance.

Since it is a fair reasoning duel, of course we have to discover the body together and start reasoning at the same time.

Faced with Hattori Heiji's complaint, Qin Zhibo calmly responded with a wise saying about life.

"Running fast doesn't necessarily mean you win, but not falling down means success."

Hattori Heiji:"."

In fact, Qin Zhibo walked slowly this time. On the one hand, he had an abdominal injury and was not suitable for strenuous exercise.

On the other hand, if you already know who the murderer is, you should think about the murderer's modus operandi in advance before triggering the side mission.

In the scene of guarding the totem, Qin Zhibo had already seen that the perpetrator was Conan's idol-Lei Katis.

He must have been the one who sent the invitation letter to the unscrupulous reporter, and also specially arranged the room location on the third and fourth floors where he was responsible, probably to facilitate the murder.

But in this case, the person with the greatest suspicion is him, so it would be completely meaningless to specially arrange this series of traps.

Therefore, Qin Zhibo felt that Ray Katis might have some other means of creating an alibi.

For example, a light show organized by three people.

However, because Qin Zhibo had been concentrating on using the guard totem vision, he did not see the light show.
