Side mission: Find out the murderer of this case

Task requirements: time limit of 30 minutes

Task reward: 500 general skill proficiency, 150 social credit

…

With the examination of the corpse's information completed, a long-lost old friend - a side mission prompt also appeared.

However, compared to previous cases, the time given to solve the case this time was only 30 minutes.

However, according to the conventional three-choice one, it seems that there is still one suspect who has not appeared so far...

Qin Zhibo counted the characters in his mind.

At this time, Cheng Shi and Conan also walked to a position one meter away from the operating bed and watched silently.

Under the background of the operating light and the common scene in the operating room, Chengshi was not so scared.

But when he saw the face of the patient lying on the hospital bed clearly, his body still shivered involuntarily.

Because under the oxygen mask was a patient with stitches on his mouth, and blood was oozing from the corners of his mouth.

And if you want to pass here, you have to walk past the operating bed.

It's obvious that tourists won't be allowed to pass easily here, and there must be a scare point.

Conan stood there with his hands in his pockets, already having a premonition that the actor would suddenly sit up from the bed and scare the tourists passing by the bed.

But for such an obvious thing, why didn’t Qin Zhibo remind Chengshi?

Before, Qin Zhibo had told Chengshi about every frightening point in advance...

"Hello……"

Just as Conan was about to step forward to talk to Qin Zhibo, the operating bed suddenly began to shake.

Gada...

Not only was the operating bed shaking violently, but the body covered under the blue sterile cloth was also shaking wildly, causing extremely rapid ups and downs.

This scene made everyone present feel tense instantly, especially Qin Zhibo.

Holy shit!

Isn't he already dead?

Is the system still deceiving people with its thick eyebrows and big eyes?

As the shaking became more intense, the bottom of the sterile cloth was lifted, and a pair of bare feet leaked out from under the sterile cloth.

This revelation didn't matter, a white light spot appeared directly in Qin Zhibo's field of vision.

【Survey√】

[A pair of size 43 big feet with red nails painted on them. If you get closer, you might be able to smell something strange]

Qin Zhibo immediately put on the magic extractor and took action with lightning speed, grabbing the ankle of one of the feet.

"ah!?"

This unconventional operation not only shocked Cheng Shi and Conan on the side, but also shocked the people under the operating bed.

At this time, Tsujiei, who was wearing glasses, was lying on a low stool in a tortoise-like posture, inserting his feet through the hollow between the hospital beds to perform in place of the feet of the deceased Anuna.

Yes, An Cai is indeed dead, too dead to be dead anymore.

And he was killed by Tsujiei.

His murder plan today was just as he said before entering the haunted house, he originally invited Mouri Kogoro to come and watch the performance of the haunted house.

When Kogoro Mouri came in to watch the performance, he entered the operating room in advance to kill Anuna, and acted as Anuna's "foot substitute" to perform a scary performance.

After it was over, he took advantage of the dim environment and blind area of ​​vision to come out from under the operating table, pretending that he had just arrived, and found that An Nai was dead.

This plan was perfect, because Anai went from "birth" to death under the eyes of a famous detective, and because she died of cyanide poisoning, everyone would think that Anai committed suicide.

But the plan couldn't keep up with the change. Before Mouri Kogoro came over today, another famous detective Qin Zhibo took the initiative to show up.

Tsujiei was worried that Qin Zhibo had already been here once, and Kogoro Mori would not come again, and his seamless criminal plan of "finding a famous detective to serve as a witness" would be in vain forever.

Although there is a school anniversary every year, they are now seniors. If they miss today, they will graduate next year.

He had no choice but to follow his companion's advice and let Qin Zhibo come in to experience the haunted house.

But he never expected that just as he was stretching out his feet to show people outside as planned, a force suddenly came out and grabbed his ankles.

Hello!

Are there any qualities left?

Didn’t you know that touching the actor’s body is prohibited during the game?

He wanted to shout like this at this moment, but he couldn't do it.

…

On the other side, Qin Zhibo, no matter what the people under the bed thought, still held tightly to the big foot exposed under the sterile cloth.

"Mr. Qin..." Chengshi said a little embarrassedly, "This is not good..."

Qin Zhibo did not answer Chengshi, but asked Conan.

"Conan, what do you think?"

"Uncle Qin, I can't see..."

Conan stood on tiptoe, but his height was a bit awkward and he still couldn't see the big foot on the bed.

At this time, Cheng Shi took the initiative to come over and hold Conan to his chest like a toy doll. From this height, he could see clearly what was going on on the bed.

Seeing Qin Zhibo grabbing the actor's ankle with his hand, and seeing that the actor playing the patient was obviously a woman, Conan's face suddenly turned red.

"Hey, you touch someone's feet like this..."

Before Conan could question it, Qin Zhibo interrupted: "Look carefully, is there any problem here?"

question?

Conan secretly wondered, frowning and staring at the operating bed carefully, but found nothing wrong.

Except for the actress who was lying on the bed with her ankles grabbed by a strange man, she could still lie so calmly, motionless and silent.

It's called Ancai, right?

I approve of your acting skills in playing a dead man.

I, Conan, would like to call you the strongest!

Seeing that Conan didn't see any clues at first, Qin Zhibo gave further hints.

"Come closer and smell it..."

"Ah I?"

Conan was startled for a moment.

But before he could answer, Chengshi was very obedient and carried Conan closer to the front so that he could smell those "jade feet".

Forehead……

Now that you have come...

Conan's body leaned forward, and when he was still 20 centimeters away from the "Jade Feet", his pointed nose smelled a slightly upward smell.

"There seems to be a smell, a little bit..."

"Is it athlete's foot?"

Conan was a little puzzled. Generally, women are less likely to get athlete's foot than men because women's amount of exercise, pore size, and sweat gland development are not as good as men's, so they are less likely to have smelly feet.

But even if a woman gets athlete's foot, it's not a big problem. Just wear more breathable shoes...

At this moment, Conan suddenly had an idea and figured out what the "problem" Qin Zhibo was talking about.

This Ancai's feet have been lying here barefoot for a while, and since she has to receive tourists all the time today, it must be more convenient to wear slippers.

But why do my feet still smell like this now?

One possibility is that you have very severe athlete's foot, so severe that even your bare feet will continue to smell.

But if you really have such serious athlete's foot, you wouldn't be able to show your feet so generously and put on nail polish.

Isn't this self-humiliating, letting the whole world know that she has athlete's foot? Letting herself die socially?

Then there is only one other possibility left, this is not her foot at all!

Conan's face became nervous and he turned to look at Qin Zhibo, "You mean..."

"That's right."

Qin Zhibo nodded and interrupted: "The actor's feet have been drying for a long time. Logically speaking, they shouldn't still smell..."

"This is enough to prove that these feet are not the actor's own!"
