The Grammatical Investigator in Conan

Qin Zhibo stood at the door of the apartment building, eavesdropping on the conversation between the old man in the management room and the other side of the phone.

"Don't worry, as long as you come to inquire, I will write it down. So this month's money..."

"...Huh? Why did you hang up so suddenly?"

The old man in the management room was surprised that he was hung up on suddenly, and the corresponding conversation reached Qin Zhibo's ears.

Hang up the phone suddenly?

Does this "Wakasa" know that I haven't left?

Qin Zhibo raised his head and glanced upstairs. He was standing close to the wall of the apartment building. It was impossible to find him without sticking his head out.

unless……

Qin Zhibo turned his head and looked at the building opposite.

It was a hotel-type hotel. It was daytime, and most of the windows in the rooms had no curtains. Only one room had a window screen drawn.

Qin Zhibo immediately looked there with his telescope vision, and saw a figure standing between the window screens, with reflective spectacles vaguely visible on the dark outline of his face.

The figure behind the window screen seemed to have noticed Qin Zhibo. She stood there without giving up her momentum at all, looking straight at Qin Zhibo.

At this time, the [Telescope] won in the previous lottery will be useful.

The fields of view of telescopes can be superimposed. Now that Qin Zhibo has three telescopes, he can see more clearly than before.

Above the person's head, basic information can be faintly seen floating.

Name, Wakasa... Rumi.

Wakasa Rumi?

Qin Zhibo had never heard of this name, but judging from his surname, this person was "Wakasa" who lived in the apartment.

Although this person rented an apartment, she did not live in the apartment. Instead, she hid in the hotel opposite and bribed the administrator to provide her with visitor information.

It seems that she was the one who published the case details about Haneda Koji on the Internet.

She used the apartment's network to publish case details. Once someone found them based on their IP address, she could figure out the identity of the investigator.

Judging from this anti-investigation awareness, this person cannot be just an ordinary person who is simply interested in the case 17 years ago.

As for why we do this...

Is it because she is from the black organization?

The mastermind behind the Haneda Koji case is a black organization, which has always kept a low profile and does not want its existence to be exposed.

The organization may use this method to eliminate anyone trying to track down the truth behind the case.

However, 17 years have passed since the case, and the organization's actions have reminded some people of this long-past case, as if "there is no more than three hundred taels of silver here."

So which side does this person belong to?

Red square? Black?

Qin Zhibo took a deep breath, put down his thoughts temporarily, put his hands in his pockets, turned and walked towards the street on the other side.

Although she didn’t know whether it was red or black, she had already been discovered by the other party, and there was nothing that could be done against her for the time being.

From the other party's perspective, he is a detective, and it is normal for him to investigate after seeing the information posted online.

Unless it's Gin's kind of thinking that would rather kill by mistake than let go.

…

Qin Zhibo found his car in a nearby parking lot and drove to Haneda Yasuharu's house in Aipido City.

More than an hour later, the red Mustang convertible slowly parked in front of the courtyard of a mansion.

Because it is in Cupido Town, the style of the mansion is not a classical castle, but a modern large villa, somewhat similar to the original Souha Residence, and the courtyard design is in the European manor style.

Beep——

After waiting for a while, a large iron door opened automatically, and Qin Zhibo drove in slowly.

As he drove through the courtyard, Qin Zhibo saw the busy gardener in the courtyard and many maids walking around the mansion.

Before coming here, Qin Zhibo was mentally prepared and knew that Haneda Yasuharu was a rich man.

It's just that this level of wealth is beyond imagination.

In addition to the value of the land and the building itself, the labor cost of maintaining this place is no longer affordable for ordinary wealthy people.

Qin Zhibo parked the car in the open space in front of the mansion, and a man who looked like a butler was already waiting in front of the porch.

"Mr. Qin, our master is already waiting."

"plz follow me……"

Under the leadership of the housekeeper, Qin Zhibo came to the study.

In the room, there was a little girl sitting in Haneda Yasuharu's arms, tutoring her on her Chinese homework.

Qin Zhibo also knows this little girl. She is the little girl from the last Angel's Pavilion incident, Yuriko Matsunaka.

This Yuriko Matsunaka is the great-granddaughter of Gozo Isekawa, the 17th heir to the inheritance, and she also happens to be in the same school and grade as the Young Detective Team.

Mr. Clock, who was unable to solve the mystery of the Angel Mansion, disguised himself as "Mr. Clock" and tricked Yuriko Matsunaka into asking the young detective team to solve the mystery.

Originally, Yuriko Matsunaka's father was alive, but was made into a brain in a vat by Mr. Clock, and she became a complete orphan.

After that incident, it was Haneda Yasuharu who proposed to adopt Yuriko.

"Check this location carefully to see if there are any problems..."

The little girl picked up her homework and looked at it carefully. Then she discovered the mistake and quickly started to correct it.

"Yeah, good boy."

There were wrinkles around Haneda Yasuharu's eyelids, and she stroked Yuriko's hair lovingly.

"Okay, let's go find your city representative grandma. Grandpa is busy with work here."

"Okay, Grandpa."

Yuriko Matsunaka jumped off Haneda Yasuharu's knees, bowed politely, took her homework book, and skipped out of the study.

Qin Zhibo looked at the leaving figure of Yuriko Matsuzhong, and it seemed that she was very happy here.

But for Yasuharu Haneda, the life experience of this granddaughter is actually not that simple.

Gozo Isekawa is a subordinate of Renye Karasuma, the former owner of the code name "Rum", and the current father of Rum.

And Yuriko Matsunaka is the great-granddaughter of Isekawa Gozo, that is, the granddaughter of "Rum".

How does it feel to raise a granddaughter for your murderous enemy?

"Do you plan to continue like this?" Qin Zhibo sat directly on the sofa and asked.

Haneda Yasuharu slowly stood up with the help of the housekeeper, "Maybe, at least the child is innocent."

"And as long as I raise this child, I will meet that person sooner or later..."

Qin Zhibo knew who "that person" Haneda Yasuharu was talking about.

Isekawa Gozo wrote in the suicide note left in the treasure that "Rum" regards himself as the orthodox successor. No matter who the subsequent successor of the Isekawa family is, Rum will come to him sooner or later.

And now that Yuriko Matsunaka has inherited all the wealth of the Isekawa family, Rum will find her head sooner or later.

By then, Yasuharu Haneda will have a chance to avenge his son.

Looking at this stubborn old man, Qin Zhibo did not say anything to persuade him. After all, this was the realization of a father, and it was also Haneda Yasuharu's long-cherished wish for many years.

"If there's anything I need, I'll help."

"Um……"

Yasuharu Haneda came to sit on the sofa next to Qin Zhibo and asked calmly, "I heard that you returned to the United States a while ago? Do you want to discuss things in the United States this time?"

Hearing this, Qin Zhibo was a little surprised. He had never told Haneda Yasuharu about going to the United States.

But then I thought about it, because of my performance at the "Sunflower" auction, Haneda Yasuharu might have learned the news on TV.

Or when he was in Las Vegas, he revealed his identity in front of the Nine Angels.

"There are also things about the United States..."

"I went to the United States before and helped someone complete a Nine Angels mission."

"While delivering the props for the mission, a man from the Nine Angels organization came, called 'Luc Villiers'. Do you know this man?"

When Qin Zhibo mentioned this name, Haneda Yasuharu's eyes were obviously surprised for a moment.

"It turned out to be him..."

"Is this person very famous?" Qin Zhibo asked doubtfully.

Yasuharu Haneda nodded and said seriously: "I think you also know that the Nine Angels organization was established and controlled by nine people with strong financial resources and power. The American capitalist Amanda Hughes is one of them."

"Since Amanda's death, the Nine Angels organization has realized the danger of having their identities disclosed, so they all have hidden their identities, except for one person who has disclosed his identity to the public."

"This man is Luc Villiers."

"To this day, the Nine Angels are still run by nine powerful and mysterious figures, and Luc Villiers is the agent of those nine figures and can represent the entire organization when necessary."

"You can meet this man. It seems that the mission you perform is also very important..."

After listening to Haneda Yasuharu's explanation, Qin Zhibo's brows became slightly serious.

He guessed that the person had a high status, but he didn't expect that he was the "face" of the entire Nine Angels organization.

No wonder he dared to say that when we meet again next time, he can arrange to see the "Ancient One" specimens brought back by the Miskatonic Antarctic expedition.

Qin Zhibo solved a doubt in his mind and asked about the second thing.

"Do you know where Akai Shuichi's family is now?"

Haneda Yasuharu's expression moved slightly, "Why are you asking this? They are all living in a safe place now."

"Well..." Qin Zhibo pondered, "Something happened to Akai Shuichi recently, and I need to contact his family."

Haneda Yasuharu frowned, "What's the matter?"

"Is such that……"

Qin Zhibo told the whole story from the time he asked Akai Shuichi to cooperate.

Among them, Akai Shuichi pretended to be Gin of the organization and was killed by the organization's people. Then he went to Enkai, found Satogua, and resurrected Akai Shuichi.

"But although Akai Shuichi has been resurrected, he has now lost his previous memory. I promised him that I would help him find his family."

After listening to Qin Zhibo's narration, Haneda Yasuharu looked extremely shocked.

As an A-level agent of the Nine Angels Organization, he knows that there is more than just one race of intelligent life in the world, humans, and he also knows that there are "gods" on the earth.

But he never expected that Qin Zhibo could actually find the gods and use the methods given by the gods to resurrect the dead.

This is something only a legendary investigator can accomplish!

"You...really met the Toad God?"

It was obvious that Yasuharu Haneda knew about some mysterious existence.

"Yes." Qin Zhibo nodded solemnly, "And it's not just me, Karasuma Renye has also been to Enkai and met Satogua."

Karasuma Ren!

Hearing this name, Haneda Yasuharu instantly glared.

He knew this name. 17 years ago, Akai Mutake investigated the death case of Haneda Koji in the United States and finally came up with such a name.

This person is the leader of the Karasuma Group. He was a super rich man 50 years ago. His financial resources can be said to be as rich as those of the country. He has a decisive influence in the political and business circles.

Of course, Haneda Yasuharu would not think that this super-centenarian man directly killed his son.

But the death of Haneda Koji must be inseparable from Karasuma Renya.

And Karasuma Renya is very likely the boss behind the organization!

"Ren Karasuma..."

Yasuharu Haneda sighed, "It seems that what I was most worried about has happened."

"What are you worried about?" Qin Zhibo asked.

Yasuharu Haneda replied, "If the organization is just a pure criminal organization, then with the joint efforts of the whole world, there is still a way to eliminate it."

"But if the organization is a group of people who have mastered the 'truth of the world,' they may even have the ability to subvert the entire world."

Haneda Yasuharu fumbled with the metal grip of his palm slightly uneasily, with a very solemn expression.

But Qin Zhibo's next words made him pay more attention.

"Actually, when I was lurking in the organization before, I discovered that a piece of software was being developed in the organization."

"This software can capture a special signal on the Internet. I believe this signal is related to a god called 'Cthulhu'."

"Cthulhu?" Yasuharu Haneda repeated again, confirming: "Are you talking about Cthulhu sleeping in R'lyeh?"

"Yes." Qin Zhibo nodded, "But I don't know where this 'Laleye' is..."

Yasuharu Haneda explained: "Raleye is in the deep sea somewhere in the Pacific Ocean, and the specific location is far away and cannot be determined."

"Once the stars return to their alignment, the sunken abyssal city of R'lyeh will rise to the surface, and Cthulhu, which has been sleeping for a long time, will awaken and cleanse the entire world."

"This is an ancient legend spread among believers in Cthulhu..."

Haneda Yasuharu's words were thought-provoking, and Qin Zhibo couldn't help but think of what Itakura Taku once recorded in his notebook.

"We can be both of God and the devil. Since we're trying to raise the dead against the stream of time."

——We are both gods and demons, because we want to reverse the flow of time and revive the sleepers.

If the "sleeper" Belmod mentioned is Cthulhu, then the real purpose of the organization is actually to awaken Cthulhu?

After all, it is impossible to resurrect the dead, because the organization has already done this.

This is probably the real purpose of the organization.

Whether it is the drug APTX-4869 or the software developed by Taku Itakura, Renya Karasuma's century-old layout is all to prepare for this event!

happy mid-Autumn Festival!

I wish everyone a happy and complete family!
