[Congratulations on completing the main mission!]

[Acquire 10,000 general skill proficiency]

Seeing the system prompt that suddenly appeared, Qin Zhibo was stunned on the spot.

At this time, Conan and others followed Yukihime to the master bedroom and saw Inufus Saomi, who had already closed his eyes.

Suo Chen lay flat on his bed with a smile on his face, tears running down the corners of his eyes, and walked away quietly.

"Mother!"

Zhihuang suddenly knelt down in front of the hospital bed and wailed loudly.

Other adopted children were either shocked or sobbing with their faces covered.

This man was fine the day before yesterday, so why did he die immediately?

Conan thought for a moment. Could it be that Qin Zhibo and his reasoning just now made him feel guilty and commit suicide?

But suicide also requires methods...

Conan went to Suo Chen's mouth and smelled it, but he couldn't smell the bitter almond smell.

But at the corner of Suo Chen's mouth, I saw some white powder stained on it.

Hattori Heiji next to him also saw the presence of the powder, and his pupils widened slightly.

Conan stretched out his index finger and dabbed some of it, put it in front of his nose and smelled it. There was a light fragrance.

This is……

This smell reminded him of the strange bead he found at Kudo Shinichi's house.

But from Qin Zhibo's reasoning just now, we can probably analyze that it is not an ordinary bead, but a Liao Dan.

It is also an important tool that causes the user to be cursed by the "Hound".

But didn't Qin Zhibo take away all these beads just now?

When Conan was puzzled, Mouri Kogoro grabbed Conan by the collar without saying a word, kicked him out of the room, and closed the sliding door.

This solemn occasion of "natural death" must not be allowed to be disrupted by a primary school student.

"Ouch!"

Conan was thrown into the corridor and fell heavily to the floor.

He got up and rubbed his butt, glanced around and found that Qin Zhibo didn't follow him.

Are you still in the living room?

He ran back in three steps and two steps at a time. When he saw it, he was still in the living room.

"Ms. Suo Chen is dead."

"……I know."

Qin Zhibo sat on a chair, staring blankly at the void directly in front of him, and answered expressionlessly.

In fact, from the very beginning, he had guessed that Suo Chen would commit suicide after getting rid of all his adopted children.

When he went to search for Liao Dan in the drawer, it was just a symbolic search. He knew that Suo Chen must be hiding Liao Dan on his body.

Because her condition is not fake and her body is always between being able to move and being unable to move, it is natural to keep Liao Dan within easy reach.

Qin Zhibo also fully respected her wishes and allowed her to pass away quietly and with dignity.

What Qin Zhibo didn't expect was that after Suo Chen died, the system popped up a reminder that the task was completed.

However, there is no requirement in my mission that the real murderer must be in a dead state.

It feels like the system knows that the real murderer will definitely die, and sets a prompt to pop up a mission completion prompt the moment the real murderer confirms his death...

This feeling made Qin Zhibo shudder.

In fact, he had this feeling many times before, which made Qin Zhibo think that the system really knew everything.

Whether it is the real culprit in each case, each mysterious creature that appears in a designated location, or the true identity of each person whose identity is hidden, these are all under the control of the system.

If you don't know the correct answer, how do you ask the question?

This feels like...Yog-Sothoth.

In the previous battle with the Hounds of Tindalos, Qin Zhibo reached a cooperation beyond time and space with the light beam emitted by the magic circle, and his own inspiration also weakly came into contact with the origin of this power.

His body is located in the ultimate abyss outside the multi-dimensional universe. He possesses infinite wisdom and is the wisest existence in the universe and outside the universe.

He is both the ruler of infinite time and space and the One who unites all things.

Yog-Sothoth is omniscient and omniscient.

The past, present, and future of the multidimensional universe are all spread across His consciousness, and even the existence beyond the universe is under His observation.

It can be said that Yog-Sothoth is a self-combined thing of infinite existence, which also leads to the fact that everything is in Him and He exists in everything.

It was the endless wisdom and authority represented by this extraordinary existence that made Qin Zhibo suspicious.

Is the power of the so-called "system" given by Yog-Sothoth?

The greatest authority of this being is wisdom, the knowledge that can know and explain everything.

He is even knowledge itself.

Even if He only imparts a tiny bit of wisdom to mankind, it is enough to make an ordinary person become the wisest scholar in the world.

The power of the system, whether it is all professional skills or investigation functions, is essentially a derivative of wisdom.

Techniques, human information, the contents of books, the meanings of codes... aren't these all knowledge?

System tasks determine task rewards based on the difficulty of the case, the time when the task is triggered, and the time when the task is completed. These are also knowledge, knowledge that transcends time.

System props and prop bar functions that seem to be least related to knowledge are also composed of knowledge.

knowledge is power.

This truth remains true even if it rises to the cosmic level.

Because he is omniscient and almost omnipotent.

Omniscient means knowing how to become omnipotent, unless that method itself has exceeded the limits of the dimensions and levels that the omniscient person can achieve.

However, under the law of one being many and many being one, the One who unites all things has transcended almost all dimensions and levels of existence in the world.

This is why the One who unites all things as the authority of infinite wisdom has unimaginable power.

This made Qin Zhibo couldn't help but think, if Yog-Sothoth really exists, whether this system is the power given by him.

Because when the original owner casts the magic circle that summons the One who unites all things, he can also think that the magic has been successful.

Although it was not to respond to the original owner's request, but to kill the Hound of Tindalos.

Moreover, the original owner’s appeal is also very thought-provoking.

What he longs for is knowledge.

It is the wisdom that can free this world from an era of endless chaos.

The return of Cthulhu and his followers, as well as the presence of Naiya, Hastur and other gods, made the original owner feel desperate.

He hoped to gain wisdom enough to enlighten the future from Yog-Sothoth, a symbol of extraordinary wisdom.

What if Yog-Sothoth had already realized his wish at that time?

Is he now burdened with the "power of revelation"?

This is why Qin Zhibo thinks sadly.

…

20 minutes later, Yamamura Cao led a large number of police officers to Inufushi Castle.

In addition to taking away Inufushi Chiaki, who had confessed to the crime, he also took away Inufuku Saomi, who "died".

Although Hattori Heiji mentioned that there was suspicious white powder on the corners of Saomi's mouth, these powders were not the same as common poisons and still needed to be taken back by the forensics class for testing and autopsy.

However, even if the test results show that it is poison, it is because Quan Fusuo committed suicide by taking the poison and will not extend to other cases.

But in this way, it seems that the hidden story behind the "Magic Dog Case" will always become an unsolved mystery.

"Kudo, do you think Ms. Saomi's death is just a coincidence?"

Hattori Heiji found Conan in private and couldn't help but express his doubts. He also found someone who could talk to express his depressed mood.

The small twist when Chiko Inufushi revealed the motive for the murder made him feel that his reasoning for this case was not thorough enough.

I always feel like I've missed a key part, but I can't figure it out.

Conan put his hands in his pockets and stared forward, with an inexplicable deep light reflected on the lenses of his black-rimmed glasses.

Now his heart is very complicated and he doesn't know what to do.

The "curse" is real, the "devil dog" is also real, and the real murderer behind the scenes is Suo Chen...

He really couldn't say these words to his good friend.
To be continued...
