The Grammatical Investigator in Conan

"Eight, eight eggs?"

"Um."

Conan confirmed, and just as he was about to continue explaining, Mao Lilan's voice came from outside the toilet door.

"Conan? Is Conan in there?"

"You seemed to have said doctor just now, right? Did you mean Dr. A Li?"

During Mao Lilan's daily inspection, Conan quickly sped up his speech and whispered: "Anyway, doctor, remember to tell me when you figure out the purpose of that device."

"I'll hang up first."

He quickly hung up the phone, put the phone in his schoolbag, and Conan walked out of the toilet.

"Conan, what were you shouting in the toilet just now?"

Mao Lilan also just came back from school, looking as youthful and beautiful as ever.

"Yes, it's a schoolbag. I almost fell into the toilet just now."

"Hahaha--"

Conan talked nonsense skillfully, and then laughed twice.

"Really, why do you have to carry a schoolbag when you go to the toilet?"

Mao Lilan was used to Conan's occasional lack of strength, but Mao Lilan still wanted to tell Conan the "good news".

"I'll finish my homework early today, so I can go out and enjoy the cherry blossoms tomorrow~"

As soon as Mao Lilan said this, Mao Li Kogoro, who woke up at some time on the boss's chair, began to complain angrily.

"If a guy who doesn't even pay for food is taken out to enjoy the flowers, he should be allowed to stay here tomorrow to look after the house."

"dad--"

Seeing his daughter's "kind" eyes, Mouri Kogoro immediately stopped complaining.

And Conan also looked at Mouri Kogoro sideways with a pair of dead fish eyes, and thought to himself: You were obviously the one who said you wanted to enjoy the flowers when you went to Moon Shadow Island.

Qin Zhibo came to Dr. Ali's house to visit as scheduled.

Seeing Qin Zhibo again this time, Dr. Ali's expression was obviously a little excited.

"Mr. Qin, I have already dismantled the device you brought."

"Of course, the restoration was completed after the demolition was completed."

Dr. A Li placed the metal cylinder on the table as if to show off. Qin Zhibo picked it up and looked at it. Sure enough, there was almost no trace of disassembly from the outside.

"First of all, you can guess what this thing is used for."

Dr. A Li's interest rose and he suddenly started playing riddles.

As for this kind of riddle, Qin Zhibo replied calmly and choked back what Dr. A Li wanted to show off next.

"Do you want me to guess?"

Dr. A Li: "."

After being stunned for a moment, Dr. Ali revealed the answer.

"In simple terms, it's a spray device."

"It can atomize a special liquid into a gas, and then spray the gas out through several air ports on it. The amount of spray may be equivalent to several tear gases."

"It is quite amazing that a device that performs physical changes can achieve such efficiency."

"To use it, press the button above the cylinder first."

As he spoke, Dr. Ali pressed the button of the metal cylinder, and heard a metallic click. The upper half of the cylinder immediately popped up, causing the entire device to split into a dumbbell-like structure.

On top of the dumbbell structure, four air jets extend in four directions.

"As long as it enters this state, then hit the device against any hard object to cause the metal firing pin inside to deflect and the shrapnel to fire."

"Then the solution below will be quickly atomized into gas and sprayed out."

"But according to my observation, this atomizing sprayer should be specially made for the solution inside."

"As for the chemical composition of the solution inside, I still can't figure it out after one night of research. I only know that the solution should be non-toxic to the human body."

As he spoke, Dr. Ali reshaped the dumbbell-type device into a metal cylinder and praised: "This device is quite exquisitely designed. It shouldn't be possible without a certain level of technology."

"Although I don't know what specific applications this thing can be used in, but if it's convenient, can you reveal its source?"

Seeing what he thought was some "black technology", Dr. Ali showed unprecedented excitement.

But of course Qin Zhibo couldn't tell the truth, so he made up a lie casually.

“Local souvenirs sent by foreign friends.”

Before Dr. A Li could come back to his senses, Qin Zhibo had already quickly put the metal cylinder back into his suitcase, and stood at the entrance and waved to Dr. A Li one last time.

"Farewell."

Bang!

The stunned Dr. Ali looked at Qin Zhibo who fled the scene quickly, feeling like he was being treated as a tool.

After leaving Dr. Ali's house, Qin Zhibo did not go home. Instead, he took his suitcase and went directly to the car rental agency and rented a high-quality and low-priced Mazda.

Since there were less than 24 hours left on the mission, Qin Zhibo could only drive his Mazda and head straight to the mountainous area where the target location was.

From five o'clock in the afternoon to about six o'clock in the afternoon, Qin Zhibo came to the mountain where the target location was.

Although it was already evening, Qin Zhibo could still vaguely see the cherry blossoms all over the mountains and plains.

~Sang, Sakura in my hometown has opened.

Qin Zhibo's mind came up with this joke for no reason.

After driving forward for a while, it suddenly started raining in the mountains.

The cold breath continued to drift in from the car window, and Qin Zhibo could only roll the window up again.

But just when he was distracted and rolling the window, a car parked in the middle of the road suddenly broke into Qin Zhibo's field of vision.

He braked hard and almost stopped at a safe distance. Qin Zhibo honked the horn twice, but the car in front showed no intention of moving forward.

what happened?

Qin Zhibo got out of the car to check and found that there was no one in the car.

The brand of the car is Suzuki, which reminds Qin Zhibo of the Suzuki Consortium of Suzuki Sonoko's family.

Isn’t this Suzuki brand owned by the Suzuki Consortium?

However, judging from the condition of the car, Suzuki's cars are still not as reliable as Mazda.

Because the front tire of this Suzuki was punctured, no wonder the car was parked here but no one was there.

But don't stop in the middle of the road, hey!

Who is so unethical?

Qin Zhibo mentally greeted the eighteenth generation of the car owner's ancestors, but he still couldn't change the fact that his car couldn't move forward.

There is no choice but to walk now.

Fortunately, it's not too far from the target location, and you can reach the resting point you found in the navigation device by walking.

After another quarter of an hour of trekking, Qin Zhibo, holding a silver suitcase in his hand, finally arrived in front of a temple built next to a cliff.

There are three big characters written on the simple plaque.

Shanni Temple.

This temple was a resting spot that Qin Zhibo had identified on the electronic map before, and it was also the closest operating store to the mission location.

Buildings that are in operation will be marked on the navigator, but private property will not be displayed.

So when we were in the mountains before, the Suzuki family's villa in the mountains was not found on the navigation system.

Walking closer to the temple, Qin Zhibo saw three people standing at the entrance.

These three people are no strangers, they are Maori Kogoro, Maori Lan and Conan.

At this time, Qin Zhibo couldn't help but think of an English sentence.

How old are you?
