The Grammatical Investigator in Conan

Qin Zhibo loaded all the materials into the car and drove to Jianggutian Town.

In the night, the red Ford Mustang convertible drove out of Rice Flower Town, looking a bit dazzling on the street.

Qin Zhibo thought for a while and decided that it was time to change to a lower-profile car.

It would be best to buy a new Mazda and have it enhanced by a tuner whom Toru Amuro knows.

…

40 minutes later, Qin Zhibo drove to the bell tower in Jianggutian Town.

The bell tower is located in the park in the center of Ekota Town. Although it is a bell tower, it itself is the city museum of Ekota Town.

The lower two floors are museums showing the history of the city. A spire extends upward from the middle, and a huge egg-white clock hangs on the top of the spire.

Two iron black hour hands indicate the current time, 6:55.

It was already closed at this time, so the museum door was undoubtedly locked.

However, on the pillars near the entrance of the Bell Tower Museum, there are instructions for entering the museum and various warning signs.

No smoking signs, no fire signs, no food in the museum, no loud noises... Behind this series of signs, there is a Q version of Kidd's head, with a big red slash drawn on it.

Anti-Gide logo...

Qin Zhibo guessed that Kaitou Kidd had been here before and had some bad influence.

Just then, a car drove into the parking lot in front of the Bell Tower Museum.

The rotary engine made a unique and ecstatic sound, which attracted Qin Zhibo to look back. It was Toru Amuro's white RX-7.

Toru Amuro stopped the car and saw Qin Zhibo standing at the entrance of the museum.

Just as he was about to get off the car, Qin Zhibo came over and said, "Get in the car, I will take you somewhere."

Qin Zhibo got into his car, started it again, and drove in a certain direction.

Toru Amuro, who was sitting in the car, frowned slightly and had some doubts in his heart, but in order to find out the truth, he still chose to drive behind.

A red sports car and a white performance car drove out of the urban area of ​​Jianggutian Town one after another and headed straight to the suburbs.

Toru Amuro was in the driver's seat and controlled the steering wheel with an indifferent expression, staring closely at the taillights of the red sports car ahead.

Throughout the afternoon, he pondered over and over what Qin Zhibo said in the pet hospital and thought a lot about it.

It was obvious that Qin Zhibo knew Shuichi Akai.

In fact, I should have thought of it earlier. Qin Zhibo is a mixed-race American who can easily become a famous detective in Japan, and he also knows Shuichi Akai. There is probably only one answer.

Qin Zhibo is also FBI.

Toru Amuro had never thought about it this way before, because it was the task assigned by his new superior that brought him into contact with Qin Zhibo.

Would a Japanese public security manager arrange a meeting with someone from the FBI?

But now judging from the experience of this superior airborne, it is not impossible.

This superior named "Kuroda Hei" was taken out of a lunatic asylum in the United States!

A Japanese public security policeman was injured and comatose for several years. Why was he placed in a lunatic asylum in the United States to recuperate?

There are a lot of things that don't make sense here.

This is why Toru Amuro feels that there is a huge secret hidden in it.

Also, if Qin Zhibo did not lie and Akai Shuichi is really dead, then Scotch Whiskey who was sent to replace Gin...

Amuro Toru's thoughts became more and more confused, and his eyes gradually became blurred.

He needed an answer now.

…

The two cars drove in the suburbs for half an hour and entered a forest.

Just when Toru Amuro was wondering if there would be any danger in coming to such a place where birds don't poop, a house stood at the end of the forest road.

Qin Zhibo drove the car to the open space of the house and parked it with the Maybach next to it.

Toru Amuro followed behind and parked next to Qin Zhibo's car.

With three luxury cars parked together and in front of a villa deep in the mountains and forests, one can't help but wonder if a wealthy family is having a party here.

If there were another Maori family at this time, all the necessary conditions for something to happen would be in place.

After Toru Amuro got out of the car, he immediately observed the surrounding environment, especially the villa in front of him and the Maybach.

It is said to be a villa, but in fact it looks more like an eerie castle against the backdrop of the surrounding black forest.

boom--!

Suddenly, a purple lightning flashed in the dark sky.

Under the illumination of the electric light, the red pointed chimneys protruding from the roof of the villa were illuminated, and Toru Amuro discovered that one of the chimneys was emitting curls of white smoke.

With a fireplace?

A family that pursues classics still drives a Maybach?

Toru Amuro tilted her head and looked at the Maybach next to her. The car's appearance was very clean, and it had obviously been taken care of carefully.

A combination of classicism and modernity?

Who the hell lives in a place like this?

While Amuro Toru stood there observing, Qin Zhibo had already walked to the door and pressed the doorbell.

jingle--

After a while, there was the sound of unlocking from behind the door, and the dwarf servant came out.

"Mr. Qin, good evening."

"Lord Hongzi has been waiting for you for a long time..."

After bringing Koizumi Hongzi back safely from Enkai, the dwarf servant became more respectful and even grateful towards Qin Zhibo.

After all, entering Enkai is the long-cherished wish of the Red Magic clan. Although they did not obtain the legendary ultimate magic, it was already a great feat to come out alive.

Moreover, Koizumi Hongzi also found his wife's relics inside, proving that Koizumi Hongzi's mother did successfully reach Enkai.

Qin Zhibo turned around and shouted to Toru Amuro behind him: "Come here!"

Toru Amuro was still looking around and collecting information. When he heard someone calling him, he quickened his pace and walked over.

Seeing a man in a purple suit standing at the entrance that was no higher than his chest, Toru Amuro felt a little surprised and frowned slightly.

Could it be him?

The servant's eyes were raised upward. Although he was short in stature, comparable to Wu Dalang, he looked at Toru Amuro with no weakness in power, and his already gloomy face became even more uncomfortable.

When Toru Amuro saw this, he was also not to be outdone, and responded to the servant with a smiley and evil face.

Both of them are masters in expression management.

At this time, it was Qin Zhibo who came to the rescue.

"There are slippers on the floor, please change into your shoes and come in."

"oh……"

Toru Amuro quickly changed into slippers and walked into the villa.

But as soon as he walked two meters along the corridor in front of him, there was a "bang" behind him.

Looking back, it turned out that the servant had deliberately closed the door hard and made a noise.

Amuro Toru's eyes narrowed slightly, and he became a little more wary.

The person who came here is not kind...

No, I'm the one here.

…

Qin Zhibo first brought Amuro Toru into the hall, and the servant followed from behind and said, "Lord Hongzi is in the secret room."

"And the things you asked me to keep are also in the secret room."

"Um."

Qin Zhibo nodded and called Toru Amuro next to him, "Come with me."

At this moment, Toru Amuro fell out of his professional habit again and took advantage of a very short period of time to observe the environment of the entire living room.

The interior decoration and furniture of the villa are very classical and elegant, and there are many strange and eccentric furnishings.

There was something sensitive in it, and Toru Amuro caught it at a glance.

It was a pair of complete eyeballs installed in a glass vessel. The whites of the eyes were wrapped in brown pupils. The two eyeballs were floating in a transparent liquid, with several slender nerves attached to the ends.

To Tohru Amuro, who is extremely knowledgeable, although he didn't feel any discomfort, he felt it was very strange.

That eyeball can't be real, right?

In addition, other things placed in the living room are also funny and have strong words. They are either lizard tails or bat specimens, or they are weird gold snake-shaped walking sticks and a huge and exaggerated death scythe.

From these weird and curious collections, Toru Amuro can roughly guess what kind of existence the owner of this house - "Lord Anko" is.

It must be an old woman with a strange face and a dark personality.

Living in such a deserted place with a shadowy male servant, he must be lonely, eccentric and difficult to get along with.

Qin Zhibo actually knows this kind of person?

And what does this person have to do with the so-called "truth"?

Toru Amuro suppressed his curiosity and followed Qin Zhibo deeper into the corridor.

While passing by a corner of the corridor, Toru Amuro caught a glimpse of several "old witch" photo frames hanging on the arabesque wallpaper.

With his aquiline nose, strange clothes, and wrinkles on his face like the bark of a thousand-year-old tree, he is extremely ugly.

Forehead……

With the hints from these photos, Toru Amuro can probably guess what kind of person he is going to meet next.

…

Arriving at the end of the corridor, the servant opened a door hidden in the wall, and the inside suddenly became clear.

This is a secret room, and looking into the past you can see a large number of thick classical books.

"Please come in."

Qin Zhibo and Toru Amuro walked in slowly and saw a burning stove in the middle surrounded by several bookshelves, with a huge crucible nearly 2 meters in diameter on top.

There is a wooden A-shaped ladder next to the crucible. There is a figure standing on the ladder, holding a spoon in both hands and vigorously stirring the contents of the crucible.

Amuro narrowed his eyes slightly. The figure was wearing a loose dark red robe and a hood. His back was facing him, and he couldn't capture any useful information.

But even so, dressed like this and stirring a strange crucible, it is enough to show that he is an extremely weird person.

"Lord Hongzi, Mr. Qin is here."

The servant walked up to the figure on the ladder and bowed slightly in respect.

"You're finally here, but I'm exhausted..."

As soon as these words came out, Toru Amuro immediately realized something was wrong.

This voice...

When the person on the ladder turned around, Toru Amuro's eyes widened in shock.

The face under the dark red hood turned out to be the beautiful face of a girl!

There were a few drops of crystal sweat on the girl's fair and flawless forehead. When she raised her hand to wipe the sweat, Toru Amuro felt a little restless in his heart.

Koizumi Anko looked at Toru Amuro condescendingly. Qin Zhibo had already greeted her, so it was not surprising that a strange man visited the witch's house.

Seeing the shock on Toru Amuro's face and the dodge in her eyes, Koizumi Anko was very satisfied.

As a witch, her appearance must be shocking enough, and even Kaitou Kidd is no exception.

However, Koizumi Hongzi did not show any emotion and continued to say to Qin Zhibo: "I'm almost ready. All that's left is your materials."

Qin Zhibo raised the bag in his hand, "The materials are here, how should I operate them?"

Koizumi Anko raised her hand and pointed at the crucible in front of her, "Just throw it into the pot without falling..."

Qin Zhibo walked to the pot, climbed up another ladder brought by the servant, and saw the contents of the pot.

In a pot of fluorescent green liquid, soaked in a naked man.

The key parts of a man are soaked in the liquid, while the non-key parts are like islands floating on the top of the liquid.

The most eye-catching position is the head leaning against the pot.

The eyes of the slanted head were closed, and there was a burning hole at the temple, but the handsome facial features were as cold as death.

This person is none other than Shuichi Akai!

In other words, it was Akai Shuichi's body.

Qin Zhibo took a look at the situation, turned to look in the direction of Koizumi Hongzi, and asked, "What method is this?"

Stew yourself in an iron pot?

Koizumi Anko placed the large stirring spoon beside the pot, rolled up her sleeves, and explained: "Even if you refine the magic potion, it is useless to feed it to a person who has been dead for a long time."

"So I want to use the method of making magic props to imbue the corpse with the magic power of the potion."

Enchantment?

As someone who has played some online games, Qin Zhibo feels that this method is inexplicably familiar.

Enchanting Akai Shuichi's corpse... does sound much more reliable than feeding the corpse with medicine.

"Where's the bullet in the head?" Qin Zhibo asked again.

The servant standing below replied respectfully, "I have already taken out the bullet."

At this time, Toru Amuro, who had been listening in the back, couldn't help it anymore and quickly climbed up the ladder and saw the existence in the crucible.

The head drooping on the edge of the pot is clearly Shuichi Akai!

"Akai Shuichi!"

Seeing an enemy he hadn't seen for many years, Toru Amuro couldn't help but scream.

But the next moment, he noticed that there was a bullet hole in Akai Shuichi's head. People like this would obviously not survive.

"This is……?"

Toru Amuro frowned, with shock and confusion in his eyes.

"As you can see, Shuichi Akai is dead."

"During the operation to capture Gin, he pretended to be Gin and was spotted by Belmode. Then he was shot in the head by Belmode."

"My original plan was to go to a remote location and capture Belmode and Vodka."

"But the news of Gin's arrest soon reached Belmode's ears. I didn't expect that there would still be people from the organization in Abeido Park after we left..."

Amuro Toru looked stunned and immediately recalled the scene at that time.

After the people of the organization completed the sniper killing of Domon Yasuhui, the commander and sniper quickly evacuated, and only one person was still at the scene.

It's the Zhufu Jingguang lurking in that building!

It was he who sniped and killed Gin who was arrested by the police, and it was he who tipped off Belmode.

And now he's Scotch!
