The Grammatical Investigator in Conan

"Zhizhi..."

Qin Zhibo put the white mice on the table, one of them stared at them with big eyes.

At this time, Kuroba Kaito came out of the bedroom after making the bed and saw the mouse brought back by Qin Zhibo.

"Where did you get the guinea pig?"

"Let me see~"

Kuroba Kaito came over and held the white mouse in his palm, small and gently.

Jerry also came out of the rat cage and stood on the table, with his upper body raised and his dark eyes silently staring at the white rat in Kuroba Kaito's hand.

Although they are both mice, Jerry is much larger, and his shiny blue-black fur makes him look like he has a good diet.

Whenever Qin Zhibo sees that the rats in the rat cage don't have enough food, he will add some.

But if the food is not replenished in time that day, Jerry will sneak out to find food by himself.

Jerry used to go to the supermarket opposite to look for food. There was an unemployed and moneyless man on the ceiling of the supermarket, feeding him by stealing the supermarket's expired products.

Now, Qin Zhibo doesn't know where Jerry goes to find food.

But the only thing that is certain is that Jerry's survival instinct in the wild is still there. As long as there is no food in the rat bowl, he will find a way to fill his stomach.

Mice can obviously also be part of the food.

If Jerry forgets to feed the rat one day, Jerry may eat the rat directly.

And even if there are no food worries, conflicts between rats can still occur.

Jerry can bite through the wall, but the mouse has trouble chewing a rope...

"Are you planning to raise another mouse?" Kuroba Kaito asked, holding the white mouse in his hand.

"No, I'm going to give it away."

Qin Zhibo turned to look at Kuroba Kaito, "Are you planning to raise mice?"

When Kuroba Kaito heard this, he quickly put the white rat down and shook his head, "I can't keep it, I... have mysophobia..."

In fact, it was a lie to have mysophobia. Kuroba Kaito was worried that he could easily raise the white rat to death if he could not take good care of it.

As a magician, Kuroba Kaito has cultivated his own pigeons since he was a child. There is still a pigeon cage in the yard of his home, and many pigeons are fed in it.

But when he was still young, he accidentally killed a pigeon.

Looking at the dead body of the pigeon, the young Kuroba Kaito was very distressed and cried all night.

It was also on that day that Kuroba Toiichi taught him a life lesson, that is, once you decide to keep a pet, you should treat it as seriously as your family and be responsible to the end.

This sense of responsibility is like a shackle, which makes Kuroba Kaito no longer dare to keep other pets easily. He just needs to take good care of his own pigeons.

While he was away from home, Nakamori Aoko from next door helped take care of the pigeon cage.

Before he decided to temporarily move to Qin Zhibo's place, he had already greeted Nakamori Aoko in advance, saying that he would be staying at a relative's house at night recently, and the pigeon asked her to help feed him.

The two have been neighbors since childhood, and Nakamori Aoko is also familiar with these pigeons, so feeding them is no problem.

Seeing that Kuroba Kaito refused to adopt, Qin Zhibo did not force him "in the name of his father".

"It looks hungry. Can you get some food to feed it?"

One second he was saying that he had mysophobia, and the next second, Kuroba Kaito was holding the white rat in his hands.

"Okay, I'll feed Jerry too..."

After a while, Qin Zhibo brought two plates full of rat food and placed them on the table.

Kuroba Kaito's guess was correct. When he smelled the aroma of food, the white mouse's eyes immediately lit up and he rushed to the plate to eat.

Jerry, who had not eaten for most of the day, did not stare at his rat food. Instead, he squatted facing the white rat and stared straight at it.

After fidgeting with his hands several times, Jerry corrected the position on his own, and continued to stare at the eating white rat like a magnet in his eyes.

This reminded Qin Zhibo of a scene in "Tom and Jerry" where Jerry was attracted by the charm of the white mouse, which was probably the same state.

Forehead……

It seems that the white rat must be sent away.

…

After all the mice had finished eating, Qin Zhibo put the white mice in the cage and took them to the bedroom.

Jerry, on the other hand, placed it in the living room outside, using a shoe box as a temporary residence.

After doing this, the two of them went into the bathroom to wash up.

But just when Qin Zhibo finished washing up first and returned to the bedroom to rest, he saw Jerry had slipped into the bedroom, squatting in front of the cage, staring at the white rat in the cage.

It does nothing but stares silently with its eyes.

The white rat has no awareness of this at all. It sniffs here and there in the cage and becomes familiar with the smell and environment here.

Qin Zhibo put Jerry back in the shoe box in the living room and told Kuroba Kaito to close the door tightly when he entered the bedroom later.

After Kuroba Kaito finished washing and entered the bedroom, just as he was about to pick up the rope that could connect the dream, Qin Zhibo shook his head.

"Forget it, let's just rest tonight..."

Although entering the dreamland can be regarded as rest, the rest is not very good. It is equivalent to having a nightmare during normal sleep.

For Qin Zhibo, who was already feeling tired, this was equivalent to a debuff.

"All right……"

Kuroba Kaito reluctantly put down the string in his hand, turned off the light, and lay down on the floor.

"Good night."

"Good night."

…

The next day.

When Qin Zhibo gradually woke up and gradually saw the clock on the wall clearly, it was already 10:30.

This sleep lasted long enough and was quite refreshing.

Qin Zhibo sat up from the bed, stretched out his waist, and first opened his character card to check.

My willpower dropped a lot yesterday, reaching only 55 at its lowest point.

However, after a night's rest, my willpower has returned to 80, and my efficiency is still quite high.

Just when Qin Zhibo was thinking about taking a nap to replenish his willpower before his sleepiness completely dissipated, he saw Jerry squatting outside the rat cage on the ground beside him, watching silently.

Kuroba Kaito had already gone to school. When he left, he did not close the bedroom door tightly, and Jerry slipped in through the crack in the door.

The white mouse lay comfortably among the sawdust inside the cage, sleeping peacefully with its eyes closed, completely unaware that a "crazy rat" outside the cage was staring at it.

This scene made even Qin Zhibo, a human, feel horrified.

What does Jerry want to do?

Mating?

Qin Zhibo didn't pay attention to whether Jerry was a male or a female, but he was probably a male.

Forget it, let’s send the white rat away today…

Regardless of whether Jerry wanted to mate or not, Qin Zhibo didn't want to raise another litter of squeaking little mice.

At this time, seven or eight points of sleepiness had faded away. It was not easy to fall asleep again, so Qin Zhibo simply got up.

I have to go to the Metropolitan Police Department today to make a record.

Qin Zhibo folded the quilt and went to the bathroom to wash up and tidy up his appearance.

It was almost time for dinner, and Qin Zhibo himself was too lazy to order takeout or eat in the supermarket, and went directly to the Metropolitan Police Department canteen.

With his social credibility, it would be okay to ask Takagi to treat him to a meal before writing the transcript.

When he was about to go out, Qin Zhibo put the white rat in his pocket and took it away for safety reasons. He planned to find a good home to send it out directly after finishing the transcript.

When Jerry saw Qin Zhibo carrying the white rat away, his four little legs immediately followed behind.

After chasing him to the door, Qin Zhibo looked back at Jerry.

"Go back, don't send it away."

Qin Zhibo took a step toward the door, but Jerry followed suit, still staring intently.

This is the time to add language to Jerry - "Swallow! How can I live without you? Swallow!"

But in the end, Qin Zhibo was as ruthless as the taxi driver. He opened the door and left, leaving Jerry alone at home.

After going out, Qin Zhibo went to the car rental store to return the car he rented yesterday.

Although you can get stuck in the time bug and sign a car rental contract until next week.

But in fact, this behavior is meaningless and will increase the cost of parking spaces.

In Tokyo, a place where land is at a premium, every parking space is extremely valuable. The policy even stipulates that you must have a parking space before you can buy a car.

Qin Zhibo himself has a parking space in a nearby parking lot to park his Mustang convertible.

If you rent another car, it means you need one more parking space.

Since parking spaces are very tight around here, there are only two ways to rent parking spaces here, one is short-term rental that charges by the hour, and the other is long-term rental that charges at least quarterly.

The time fee for short-term rental is too high, and there are no bugs.

The quarterly one-time charge is too high, and it is not appropriate to rent a car frequently.

If only Conan could lower the price of parking spaces in the parking lot...

But in fact, this is just a fantasy.

Taking housing prices as an example, the surge in the number of Mihua cases has not had much impact on the overall housing prices of Mihua.

Although the prices of some houses are falling steadily and are difficult to sell even if they fall to the opening price, the corresponding "high-quality houses" are also increasing their prices.

This resulted in the overall house price of Mihua not rising or falling.

Even if you want to speculate on "high-quality housing", it is impossible.

Because when there are so many haunted houses everywhere, people will realize that there is nothing scary about houses with "spirit rings" superimposed on them, and gradually begin to accept them.

…

Outside the Metropolitan Police Department, Qin Zhibo called Gao Mushe.

Soon, Takagi Sheba ran out from the main entrance of the Metropolitan Police Department building and led Qin Zhibo into the interior of the Metropolitan Police Department building.

After a few hints, Takagi was successfully tricked into having lunch.

"Then let's go to a nearby restaurant..."

"No need to go to too much trouble, just use your police canteen~"

Qin Zhibo also pretended to be easy to talk to, but in fact he came with this purpose from the beginning.

The police canteen is on the basement floor of the Metropolitan Police Building.

The Japanese police cafeteria is not too gorgeously decorated and the space is not large. There is an automatic drink vending machine at the door and simple white tables and chairs inside.

But maybe it's because of the age, and the oil stains on the table can no longer be wiped off, giving people a greasy feeling.

There are various common foods that have been prepared on the cafeteria stalls, such as pork chop rice, beef rice set, udon noodles, dandan noodles, etc.

Gao Mushe got himself a beef rice set, while Qin Zhibo got pork chop rice + dandan noodles.

Carbohydrate + carbohydrate, because I am really hungry.

It was lunch time, and the police began to take turns to come to eat.

The two of them were carrying their plates, and then they realized that there was no empty seat in the canteen.

Originally, we were all colleagues and could share a table.

But Takagi Wataru's popularity in the Metropolitan Police Department was really not very good. People around him just looked at him indifferently, and no one took the initiative to invite Takagi to sit over.

Some policemen even deliberately put their legs across the empty chair next to them, fearing that Takagi would take advantage of the situation.

Qin Zhibo: "..." It seems that letting Takagi Wata treat him to the police canteen was a mistake.

Just as the two stood in the open space at a loss, someone in the corner stood up and waved.

"Takagi! Come here!"

Takagi Wataru looked along the line of sight, his eyes suddenly flashed, as if he saw the savior, and he hurriedly ran over with the dinner plate in hand.

"I'm saved again, thank you, Yumi-san."

"Really, didn't I tell you to come to the cafeteria with Miwako from now on?"

"Huh... having dinner with Officer Sato makes me more stressed..."

At this time, the female police officer who was talking to Takagi saw Qin Zhibo behind Takagi. She was stunned for a moment, and then recognized him.

"Are you the famous detective Qin Zhibo?"

"Yes, you guessed it right."

Qin Zhibo looked at the long-haired policewoman in front of him. She and her colleagues beside her were wearing traffic police uniforms, and the name on their heads was Miyamoto Yumi.

In fact, Qin Zhibo had occasionally seen this female traffic policeman maintaining traffic order at the scene of the case before, but because they didn't have many interactions, he didn't know her personally.

Takagi explained: "Mr. Qin came to the Metropolitan Police Department to record the case. It happened to be lunch time, so we had a light meal here."

Takagi then turned to introduce Qin Zhibo, "Mr. Qin, this is Police Officer Miyamoto Yumi from the Ministry of Transportation, and this one is..."

When he was introduced to the female police officer next to Miyamoto Yumi, Takagi was stunned because he didn't recognize this person either.

Qin Zhibo had already seen the name on the head of this policewoman with double ponytails.

"H-Hello, my name is Miike Naeko. I am a traffic police officer who was recently transferred to the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department. I am currently working under Yumi-senpai."

"Oh, just call me Yumi~ Why is a senior not a senior~"

"It is good……"

Miike Naeko was obviously not familiar with this place, and she was a little uncomfortable with Yumi's cheerful personality, her face was a little red.

This blush makes the already childish face even more endearing.

"Hello……"

Seeing the shy appearance of his new beautiful colleague, Takagi was stunned.

However, when Miyamoto Yumi saw this, she immediately reminded her unhappily: "Takagi, you have Miwako, so stop thinking about it...be careful, I will tell Miwako, so that you can't eat and walk around!"

After receiving such a warning from Miyamoto Yumi, Takagi Wataru was immediately frightened, quickly withdrew his eyes and sat down honestly.

Everyone else also sat down again and started eating.

However, during the meal, Miyamoto Yumi, who is the topic king, began to look for topics to share with the meal.

Originally, she usually made fun of the relationship between Takagi Wataru and Sato Miwako, but today there was a new person, and a celebrity joining in, so she definitely couldn't miss the opportunity to gossip.

"Mr. Qin, I heard that you are an American and now you are working as a private detective in Japan alone?"

"Well, you could say that."

"Don't you feel lonely being so far away from home? Have you ever thought about finding someone to live with?"

Miyamoto Yumi asked with wide curious eyes.
