"You must have recognized my identity. My name is Qin Zhibo, and I am a detective."

"A big shot entrusted me to investigate you, and you must have heard of that big shot, because he is his son who you personally found."

Hammertail frowned, still not understanding.

Qin Zhibo continued: "The white horse detective you invited is the only son of the Japanese police chief."

Upon hearing this, Tsutsumi was startled for a moment, and then his eyes widened.

"Wha, what?!"

"Is it that Bai, Baima police chief?"

Although Hakuba's father is not a big star, he is the leader of the Japanese police and often appears on TV news, so many ordinary people have heard of him.

Qin Zhibo slowly loosened the collar of Zhuowei, but continued to threaten.

"So you used your identity as a TV director to deceive the son of the police chief. What was your intention?"

"If I add more details to your story and report it to that adult, I'm afraid you will be in Tokyo in the future..."

"No, it's just that it's hard to stay in Japan anymore."

"You're in trouble!"

Hearing this, Zhuowei knelt on the ground with a plop, bowed his hands repeatedly, and begged for mercy.

"I'm sorry! I didn't know that Detective White Horse was the son of the police chief!"

"If I knew, I wouldn't dare to touch Tai Sui even if I was given 10 million!"

Qin Zhibo looked at the hammer tail that had completely surrendered, and was a little surprised that the "Shangfang Sword" was so easy to use.

Looking again at the detailed information he had just investigated when he came into contact with Hammer Tail, he understood.

Hiroo Tsuchio, 41 years old, professional actor and associate professional thief.

It turns out it has three hands. No wonder I am so afraid of the police...

"Now that you understand the stakes involved, tell me everything you know."

"If it is found out that you are only being used by bad people, I will persuade that adult to be lenient to you..."

Upon hearing this, Tsutsumi's eyes immediately shone with hope, "Yes, yes, yes!"

"I will definitely tell you everything I know!"

…

Next, Qin Zhibo and Tsuchio sat cross-legged on the tatami in the room and calmly recounted what happened.

Tsutsumi's job is to be a supporting actor in a small local theater troupe.

One day, he received a letter claiming to be the director of a television station and asking him to pretend to be the director to prepare for filming a TV show called "Detective Koshien".

If the fake identity is not discovered during the process, there will be a reward of 500,000 yen; even if it is discovered, as long as you persist, you will receive a reward of 250,000 yen.

Tsuchio was living in a tight situation, so in order to make money, he decided to participate in this plan.

"This is the plan that was mailed with the envelope at that time. Everything I did was in accordance with the instructions above, so this matter really has nothing to do with me!"

"Whether it matters or not, I will decide on my own."

Qin Zhibo took the bag containing the planning book. There were several pages of printing paper inside, and above was a program planning book printed by the printer.

The content includes preliminary personnel invitations, as well as later shooting locations and shooting plans.

Qin Zhibo took a quick glance and found that, as Chuiwei said, the four famous detectives invited had already been decided in the plan.

Eastern representative, White Horse Detective.

Western representative, Hattori Heiji.

Representative from the north, Tokijin Junzai.

Representative from the south, Nanatsuki Yuesui.

Logistics support personnel, Jiagu Liansan.

Each person's name is followed by contact information.

But for Qin Zhibo, apart from Hakuba Tan and Hattori Heiji, who were familiar with him, the other three people had never heard of them.

Qin Zhibo continued to ask, "Who have you contacted among these people so far?"

"Except for White Horse Detective, everyone else has already been contacted and has agreed to shoot."

Tsutsumi explained dejectedly, "But because the director stipulated that everyone must be present before filming can start, so the filming never started..."

Qin Zhibo: "How do you usually contact that person?"

Hammertail shook his head, "There has been no contact between us, and there is no need for contact."

"The letter said that I just need to prepare according to the plan and then bring everyone to the island to participate in the filming."

"In order to ensure the confidentiality of the filming of the program, after arriving on the island, I can contact the program team through the island's radio to inquire about the next filming plan."

Qin Zhibo glanced at the follow-up to the plan, and it was indeed mentioned that the filming would take place on an uninhabited island not far from Tokyo Port.

"Then how are you sure this man's plan isn't a prank?"

Tsuchio replied: "Because there is 50,000 yen mailed along with this plan, which is the filming fund provided by the other party."

"I used the money to find someone to order a set of work clothes for a Japanese TV station, and I also negotiated the price with the boatman at the port..."

Worried that Qin Zhibo wouldn't believe it, Tsuiwei also showed off the Japanese television station uniform.

Qin Zhibo just glanced at this suit and discovered a very big problem.

In addition to the rough workmanship, the swirl pattern on the head of the rat logo on the back of the clothes is reversed from the original direction.

Qin Zhibo had just come out of the Rimai TV building, so he was quite impressed by this pattern.

In this way, it seems that what Tsutsumi said is indeed true.

As for the "mysterious person" who asked him to cooperate, he was probably not someone from the organization, let alone the director of the Japanese TV station, but someone in the plan.

This routine is very similar to the Twilight Annex incident. The inviter is least likely to be discovered when he is hidden among the invitees.

Qin Zhibo picked up the plan book again and stared at the list of program invitees above.

There are two points worth wondering about in the list.

Kudo Shinichi, the "Japanese police savior", is obviously more famous in the east, but the candidate invited by the "program" is Detective Hakuba.

Secondly, even the logistics support personnel were specifically named, and this person had to be invited before filming could begin.

Generally speaking, the person who is forcibly added is likely to be the initiator of the mysterious party.

But if Kabutani Renzo was the initiator, there would be no need for him to hire Tsutsumi, because with one more insider, the secret of the false shooting would be more easily exposed.

And judging from the fact that the invited people are high school detectives, there is a high probability that the inviter is also a high school detective himself, so it is more likely that they have interacted with each other.

In other words, the initiator of this party is one of the high school detectives.

Excluding old acquaintances Hattori Heiji and Hakuba Tan, the only ones left are Tokizu Junya and Koshizui Nanatsuki.

But what motive do these two people have to invite other high school student detectives?

Qin Zhibo continued to read the contents of the plan, which stated that Tsuiwei and the invited Renzo Kotani were going to stage a play in a house on an uninhabited island.

The general content is that Hammertail plays the victim and is tied behind his back in a room, and the entire room must meet the conditions to form a secret room.
