The Grammatical Investigator in Conan

On the side of the street, the five-member Youth Detective Team was carrying small schoolbags, and a small group headed by three little ones came over with smiles.

"Gift--!"

The three little ones all stretched out their little hands and spread them in front of Qin Zhibo.

This made Qin Zhibo stunned and asked: "What gift?"

Ayumi: "Of course it's a gift brought back from the United States!"

Genta: "Didn't you bring me American candies last time?"

Mitsuhiko: "Uncle Qin, have you forgotten?"

Looking at the expectant eyes of the three little ones, Qin Zhibo could only scratch his head in embarrassment.

"I really forgot about this..."

This trip to the United States was very rushed. It would be nice to bring some gifts at the airport. How could I remember to bring gifts to the three little ones?

"Oh, how heartless..."

Upon hearing that there was no gift, the three little ones immediately dropped their heads as if frustrated.

Seeing the frustrated expressions of the three little ones, Qin Zhibo knew who should be blamed for this incident.

The fault was not that I didn't bring a gift, nor was it the three little ones who asked for gifts.

But...Conan!

Qin Zhibo turned the spear and put a palm on the head of the cheerful Conan next to him.

"Conan, you have a big mouth, don't you?"

Conan, who was gloating about his misfortune, suddenly shrank his neck and realized something was wrong.

"Um... wasn't Kaitou Kid planning to steal "Sunflower" at Haneda Airport last time? They little brats were clamoring to hear the story, so I just stopped by..."

Qin Zhibo had a smile on his face, "You just revealed my whereabouts by the way?"

"sorry!"

Conan immediately bowed in Japanese style and asked Qin Zhibo for forgiveness.

Next to him, Hui Yuan Ai looked at this scene with a slight smile on his lips.

As the most stinky and arrogant detective in Haihara Ai's eyes, Conan is the only one who can conquer him in all aspects, and the only one who can conquer him in every aspect is Qin Zhibo, who is also a famous detective.

Qin Zhibo didn't go too far and patted Conan's head gently, "Okay, since you sincerely apologized, uncle, I will forgive you."

"By the way, today is a school day. Why did you get out of school so early?"

Ayumi explained excitedly: "Today is Wednesday, and our primary school students only have half a day of class!"

Yuantai next to him also said: "Dr. Ali asked us to go to his house to play, but we need to help find something first..."

"Oh I got it."

As a "time blind" Qin Zhibo, if he didn't pay special attention to what day it is today, he would really not be able to figure it out.

But since the Young Detective Team has something to do, and there won't be any cases when going to Dr. Ali's house, he plans to send these brats away first.

Then I will investigate the area around here to see if I can find the person who posted the details of the Haneda case on the Internet.

Although this method of looking for a needle in a haystack is unlikely to be found...

But just when Qin Zhibo was about to send the young detective team away, Guangyan suddenly grabbed Qin Zhibo's hand.

"As punishment for not bringing us gifts, Uncle Qin should also go with us to Dr. A Li's house to help find things!"

Ayumi and Gentai also became interested when they heard this.

"Yes, with Uncle Qin's help, we will definitely be able to find what Dr. A Li lost quickly, and we can play games faster!"

"Let's go! Let's go to Dr. Ali's house together!"

Ayumi and Mitsuhiko each held one of Qin Zhibo's hands, and Yuanta pushed Qin Zhibo's back from behind. The three of them were shouting excitedly on the street.

Just when Qin Zhibo was about to refuse on the grounds that he had something to do, his heart suddenly shook and he felt a sharp gaze looking at him.

He raised his head suddenly and glanced at the apartment building.

However, due to the angle, there was no line of sight of any suspicious person, only glass windows reflecting the midday sun.

But he knew that he didn't feel wrong. Someone was indeed staring at him just now.

As a former FBI investigator, Qin Zhibo can be keenly aware of the sight of people watching him secretly.

And this kind of gaze is often not a casual look like a passerby, but a purposeful and secret observation.

Was he discovered by that person?

Sometimes, too high social credit is not a good thing...

Qin Zhibo's eyes flickered slightly, and his brain immediately changed his mind.

"Okay, how about I go to Dr. Ari's house with you?"

"Very good!"

The three little ones made excited noises and led Qin Zhibo to Dr. Ali's house in a double-team situation, fearing that he would run away halfway.

Although the strength of the three of them is not very good, when it comes to the professionalism of holding thighs, they are serious.

Obviously, Qin Zhibo has thicker thighs than Conan.

Conan next to him was a little surprised to see Qin Zhibo readily agreeing to the three little ones' request.

When I saw Qin Zhibo on the roadside just now, he was obviously looking at the residents' mailboxes in the apartment building. He should have some entrustment on him.

Conan originally thought that when Qin Zhibo refused to go to Dr. Ali's house, he would ask Qin Zhibo what he was investigating, so that he could use a case to play around with.

Sometimes you don’t have to create a case yourself, you can just use someone else’s.

Takagi and Mouri Kogoro are the targets of his frequent cases.

As a result, Qin Zhibo didn't follow the routine and didn't even say "Uncle, I won't tell you" and gave up the investigation.

There are only two possibilities.

One is that the case itself is not important and can be dealt with casually afterwards.

The second is that the case is too important to allow children to be around, so I want to send the young detective team away first.

These two possibilities...

With wild thoughts in his mind, Conan walked straight to the residents' mailboxes in the apartment building and scanned the names of the residents one by one.

However, there are no acquaintances or the names of wanted criminals recently released by the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department in the names of the residents. They are just ordinary names.

Conan held his chin up and thought for a while.

Is it just an insignificant commission?

At this moment, a cold voice came from the side.

"Are you guessing that the uncle has some entrustment that's why he appears here?"

Conan turned around and saw that it was Hui Yuan Ai who did not follow San Xiaozhi and Qin Zhibo towards Dr. A Li's house, but chose to follow him silently.

This was a tacit understanding between the two of them. Conan just assumed that Haihara Ai was observing the experimental receptors of APTX-4869 and didn't ask any questions.

"Yes, but there is too little information reflected in this email address. I can't tell what kind of commission he has received..."

Conan looked at the mailboxes arranged neatly one by one, with the name of the householder corresponding to the house number, but he felt vaguely that this scene seemed familiar.

It seems that last time, when school was over at noon on Wednesday, it was also the Junior Detective Team who met Qin Zhibo...

He seems to be taking someone with him... to help find the mailbox in front of the apartment building...

This moment is just like that moment.

But when Conan wanted to recall what kind of person Qin Zhibo brought with him at that time, he didn't leave any reliable impression.

I just vaguely remembered that the other party seemed to be a girl.

"Hey, Haiyuan, you..."

Conan was about to ask Haihara Ai about that vague memory, but Haihara Ai looked up at the mailbox and muttered: "Wakasa..."

Conan's thoughts were interrupted and he leaned over to look at the mailbox. Sure enough, he saw that the surname of a resident on the mailbox was "Wakasa".

"This Wakasa surname is a bit rare, what's wrong?" Conan asked.

"Wakasa Bay in Fukui Prefecture, America Island is right there..." Haibara Ai said calmly.

After hearing this, Conan opened the map of Japan in his head and remembered that he had been to this place before.

"American Island, the legend of mermaids is popular in that place. Xiaolan, my uncles, Hattori, and Toyama and I went to that place before to handle a certain case..."

Speaking of that case, Conan still felt a little regretful.

Although the police finally determined that the murderer was Kadori Saori who died in the fire, Conan and Hattori Heiji always felt that there was another hidden story in the case.

However, they still wanted to investigate and find out another truth, so Qin Zhibo and Mouri Kogoro planned to leave.

In addition, Qin Zhibo, who was the "correct answer" and "benchmark of reasoning", did not raise any objection to the case. Even if Conan felt that the case was somewhat ambiguous, he really could not find any reason to doubt it.

Although Conan likes to get to the bottom of things and find out the truth, he is not a bully.

While Conan was recalling the past case in his mind, Haihara Ai revealed a shocking secret in a casual tone.

"I've been to this American island before, with those guys..."

"In the previous research information on APTX-4869, it was mentioned that the American Island was once one of the experimental sites for that drug."

"So the organization sent people to go there with me to collect clues."

Conan, who was in the state of rewinding his memory, suddenly became startled, and his memories stopped abruptly.

His expression turned terrifying, and he quickly turned to Haiyuan Ai seriously and asked.

"Are you telling the truth? You and the two guys from the organization..."

"Well, your guess is correct." Haihara Ai nodded slightly, "It's gin and vodka."

Conan's face was startled again, and he recalled that he had seen Miyano Shiho's name when he was looking at the roster of people who had participated in the Dugong Arrow lottery over the years.

That’s not the same name! But the real Miyano Shiho!

If that person was Miyano Shiho, given the organization's emphasis on drug A research, Gin and Vodka would definitely not let Miyano Shiho participate alone in group activities such as the Dugong Arrow Lottery.

The two names next to Miyano Shiho are gin and vodka!

Thinking of this, Conan immediately racked his brains to recall, but he couldn't remember the two names next to "Miyano Shiho".

It had been too long, and besides, he just glanced at the roster and was snatched away by Qin Zhibo next to him.

Damn it!

In Conan's mind, this is also a very important organizational clue.

Using Kudo Shinichi's identity before, Conan quietly asked Officer Megure about the results of Gin's identity investigation.

However, Officer Megure said that the identity of "Gin" was not matched in the demographic information.

In other words, Gin has no identity in Japan and is just a "Touko".

However, this also shows that once the true identity of Gin can be found, it will be possible to pull out the radish and bring out the mud, and find key clues to the organization behind it.

But it was finally possible to learn the names of gin and vodka, but because my memory was not strong enough.

How abominable!

Conan hated that his memory could not reach the level of photographic memory, and he also hated why he was lucky at that time, thinking that the name was not the Miyano Shiho he knew.

Eh?

Conan was beating his chest when another question suddenly occurred to him.

At that time, Qin Zhibo took the roster away and stared at it for a long time. Will he still remember the names on it?

That uncle is so smart and has terrifying powers of observation. He might have a photographic memory!

You must still remember it!

Conan comforted himself in his heart.

Of course, such blind belief does not make sense. Because in Conan's understanding, Qin Zhibo didn't even know Hui Yuan Ai's real name. He only knew that she was a little adult. How could she remember those insignificant names?

But that's how people are. When they are in a desperate situation, a life-saving straw suddenly appears in front of them. No matter how small the straw is, they want to grab it with all their strength.

After brainstorming, Conan continued to ask Haibara Ai.

"Then what did you do on the island?"

Haibara Ai described it lightly, "I didn't do anything special. I just walked around the island as a tourist and participated in the Dugong Arrow lottery."

"But we may be people favored by the darkness, and we are not very lucky. We did not draw the dugong arrow, and we did not get the hair of the longevity woman tied to the arrow."

"After that, Ginjiu personally went to look for things that could be tested from Changshou Po, but he came back empty-handed..."

Conan was a little surprised, "Did Gin miss it?"

Hui Yuan Ai shook his head, "No, Ginjiu didn't miss."

"He said that the longevity woman was a young woman pretending to be a longevity woman. There is no longevity woman on the island at all."

"Without any clues to collect, we have no choice but to return home."

Hearing Haihara Ai's words, Conan's eyes widened with shock on his face.

The 130-year-old longevity woman on the American island is actually a fake?

But the person on the island who has always been able to take good care of the longevity woman is the great-granddaughter of the longevity woman, the shrine maiden named "Shimabukuro Kimie"...

Could it be that she was pretending to be?

Thinking of this, Conan felt a chill rush through his body, and goosebumps arose all over his skin.

The so-called longevity woman has always been pretended by Shimabukuro Kime.

Could it be that Saori Monashili, who burned herself to death in the fire, was also...

Suddenly, Conan felt as if he realized what was wrong with the case on the American Island.

"Haiyuan! Let's catch up with them quickly!"

As soon as the words fell, Conan hurriedly chased the three little ones and Qin Zhibo in the direction they left.

Hui Yuan Ai looked at Conan's back, didn't say anything, and silently chased after him.

…

Meanwhile, in a hotel room just across the street from the apartment building.

A graceful figure stood behind the window screen, with her left eye wearing glasses quietly observing the situation at the door of the apartment building opposite through the gap in the window screen.

Her left eye was silently watching Conan running out and Haibara Ai chasing after him.

On the desk on her right, an "Application Form for Teachers at Didan Primary School" was being edited.
