The Grammatical Investigator in Conan

sieve.

sieve.

The wire stirred in the keyhole, making a slight sound.

Kuroba Kaito put his ear as close to the keyhole as possible, and coupled with subtle changes in feel, he found the angle of the wire that could just open the door lock.

However, he was so focused that he didn't notice a figure approaching behind him.

By the time he noticed it, the hand was already on his shoulder from behind.

"drink!"

Kuroba Kaito turned around suddenly and shouted in fright.

But the people behind him immediately made booing gestures to signal him not to make a sound.

"Don't move, the FBI outside is still looking for you..."

While the man was talking, Kuroba Kaito took a closer look and found that it was a dark-skinned man he didn't recognize. The blond hair on his head was a little lighter than Michael's.

"Who are you……?"

After Kuroba Kaito calmed down, he asked softly.

The man did not answer Kuroba Kaito's question. He just looked up and down at Kuroba Kaito's appearance and said, "Are you the 'disguise master' who doesn't want to be named?"

Kuroba Kaito was shocked. This man actually saw that he was disguised at a glance?

But in fact, it wasn't that his disguise was flawless this time, but that the man in front of him was Toru Amuro.

Just now, Toru Amuro saw an organized sniper in the building opposite on the third floor. Combined with Michael's appearance in the mall, he guessed what action the organization might be taking.

At that time, the mall had issued a broadcast notice to evacuate customers.

So Toru Amuro simply came to the entrance of the mall, planning to block Michael before he left.

But when he took the elevator to the first floor, he happened to hear Judy on the escalator calling "Shuichi".

As the current guardian and cousin of Shuichi Akai, Toru Amuro knows that it is impossible for Judy to discover the real Shuichi Akai.

Then only Shuichi Akai pretending to be someone else is left.

And there happens to be a Belmode in the organization who can disguise himself as anyone.

Toru Amuro initially suspected that the fake Akai Shuichi might be Belmode pretending to be, perhaps to find out the current attitude of the FBI?

In order to find out the truth of the matter, Toru Amuro quietly followed two FBI agents.

By the time the two missed their target, he had already discovered "Akai Shuichi" hiding in the shopping aisle.

However, when he observed "Akai Shuichi" sticking his butt out to pick the lock from behind, he gave up the guess that this person was Belmode.

Toru Amuro has a specially trained skill in identifying people, which is to identify the target without completely looking at the face.

The face can change, but people's body movements and habitual postures are difficult to change after years of repeated training.

When this "Akai Shuichi" lowers his guard, his butt is not as straight as that of Belmode.

And if it was Belmode who was dispatched, it would be impossible not to prepare the key to this iron door in advance.

Therefore, this person cannot be Belmod.

Combined with the fact that Michael appeared in this building, the last time they jointly arrested Gin, there was an unnamed "disguise master" who supported that operation.

To sum up, Toru Amuro guessed that the fake Shuichi in front of him was the "disguise master" that Qin Zhibo knew.

At this moment, Toru Amuro had just cornered this "disguise master".

The detective's curiosity drove him to really want to take off the disguise of the person in front of him and see what the real face looked like without the hypocrisy.

However, the situation was urgent and the overall situation was paramount, so he resisted this idea.

"Since you are here, it means that person is indeed Qin, right?"

"..."

Kuroba Kaito didn't answer because he didn't know whether the man in front of him was friend or foe, black or red.

Seeing that the "disguise master" was quite tight-lipped, Toru Amuro felt a little anxious and could only tell his true identity.

"In the last incident involving Yasuki Domon, the policeman wearing glasses who responded to you was my subordinate. Now you know who I am, right?"

Kuroba Kaito still remembered the policeman wearing glasses, named Yuya Kazami, who was a meticulous and serious guy.

Didn’t you expect that kind of person is just this man’s subordinate?

Kuroba Kaito looked at Toru Amuro up and down. With his dyed yellow hair, he looked like a delinquent who likes to fight. Unexpectedly, he was actually a high-ranking policeman?

However, Kuroba Kaito was still cautious. He did not confirm Amuro Toru's guess, but asked: "What exactly do you want to do?"

Even though he said this, his hand still secretly held the small flash bomb in his pocket.

Naturally, Tohru Amuro couldn't hide this little move.

Toru Amuro glanced down slightly, then raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and said: "I suggest you not to do this. After all, our interests are the same..."

"If you have contact with Qin, please tell him now about the organized sniper at the main entrance of the mall and let him be more careful."

After saying that, Toru Amuro turned and left.

Kuroba Kaito looked at the man's back as he walked away casually with his pockets in his pockets, and asked with some confusion.

"That's it?"

"That's it."

Amuro Toru raised his palm.

…

Rice Flower Department Store, first floor, staircase.

Qin Zhibo grabbed "Qianye"'s arm with one hand and walked down the stairs, continuing to follow the flow of people towards the main entrance of the mall.

"Um...can you let go?"

"Qianye" turned to look at Qin Zhibo and said, with a helpless smile on his lips.

In terms of facial expression management, the Yi people who directly possess their souls in human beings are more adaptable than the Mi Go who uses human skin as a disguise.

But Qin Zhibo still flatly rejected his request.

"cannot."

"Why not?"

"What if I let go and you run away?"

"No, I won't run away..."

Even after getting "Qianye's" promise, Qin Zhibo still didn't let go, but instead increased his strength.

Now, just take him out of the mall and go to a safe place, and you're done.

As for this safe place, Qin Zhibo also thought about it, it was Matsumoto Ryohei's villa on the outskirts of Tokyo.

Ever since Matsumoto Ryohei went to Dreamland to live with the ghouls, this villa has been given to Qin Zhibo to take care of.

This place had previously imprisoned Belmod once, and this time it could be used to imprison "Chiba".

Of course, locking him up is not the purpose, the most important thing is to protect him.

Organizations are chasing him everywhere. I am afraid that only the alien himself does not know the seriousness of the matter.

Just when Qin Zhibo was about to follow the crowd and sneak out from the main entrance of the mall, Kuroba Kaito's voice came from the headphones.

"Where are you? Have you found anyone?"

"We just found it. Now we are planning to leave through the main entrance of the mall. You should evacuate as soon as possible..."

The FBI may not have left in the mall. Qin Zhibo didn't want Kuroba Kaito's appearance to cause the FBI to misunderstand.

But what he didn't know was that a misunderstanding had already occurred.

When Kuroba Kaito heard that Qin Zhibo was about to leave through the front door, he quickly relayed what Toru Amuro had just said: "Never go through the front door!"

"There was a guy just now who said there were organized snipers in the building opposite the main entrance of the mall..."

Qin Zhibo frowned, "Who said that?"

"A man with yellow hair said that the policeman named 'Fengmi Yuya' whom I met last time was his subordinate..."

Toru Amuro.

Qin Zhibo immediately understood the identity of the man who informed him of this information.

At this moment, he just walked to the main entrance and looked through the glass door towards the building opposite.

With the help of the telescope, it turned out that a woman with a bloodthirsty smile on her face was holding a sniper rifle and staring at this place.

It’s Chianti, the organization’s female sniper and Cohen’s partner.

Qin Zhibo immediately dragged "Qianye" and retracted his body into the building to avoid being discovered by the other party.

"I see, did he say anything else?"

"Gone……"

"Okay, then you should find a way to get out of here."

"Then you have to be careful..."

"Will do."

Qin Zhibo took off his headphones and put them in his pocket.

He must stay focused now, because the organization's killers have indeed set up controls around the Rice Krispies Department Store, waiting for "Chiba" to appear in their sights at any time.

Although the crowd and the police are good cover, they are also excellent cover for the people in the organization.

If one shot misses, they can fire two, and it doesn't matter if they hurt innocent passers-by, as long as they can completely eliminate the target from this world.

Just as Qin Zhibo was thinking about how to evacuate safely with one person, "Qianye" next to him turned his head and said in a calm tone.

"Are they coming?"

"Them?" Qin Zhibo frowned, "Do you know who 'they' are?"

"I can probably guess some..."

Looking at Qianye's eyes that could see through life and death, Qin Zhibo felt an unfathomable temperament in him.

"Take the underground exit."

"Qianye" he said again at this time, in a tone that left no room for doubt.

Qin Zhibo thought for a few seconds, then took a confirming look at "Qianye"'s calm eyes, and decided to follow his suggestion.

He dragged "Qianba" and walked into the mall against the crowd, and soon passed by the escalator of the mall.

In front of the escalator, Judy and Kamel met again, exchanging their zero findings with each other.

"Did you find it there?"

"No..." Kamel shook his head, and then asked: "Could it be in the mall toilet?"

Judy shook her head cautiously, "No, I looked for it just now."

Kamel: "I'm talking about the men's room..."

Judy replied expressionlessly: "I'm talking about the men's room."

A drop of cold sweat ran down Kamal's forehead.

Just as Judy was thinking about where Shuichi Akai was going, two figures hurriedly passing by not far away caught her attention.

One of the men was wearing black clothes and had eye-catching curly blond hair.

Judy's eyes focused on the man's back, feeling as if she had seen this blond curly-haired man before.

Kamel also noticed something was wrong with Judy's vision, so he looked around and saw the man's last back before disappearing around the corner.

"That person is not Mr. Akai."

"Well, I know, but..."

Before Judy finished speaking, a child hurriedly ran down the escalator.

His rampant appearance made the adults next to him look dissatisfied and think to themselves, "What a naughty kid."

But Conan is really not a naughty kid.

He was just looking for someone and had to run down the moving escalator because he was really anxious.

When I arrived on the first floor, I happened to see Judy and Kamel standing there.

"Teacher Judy!"

Conan quickly called Judy, interrupting Judy's thoughts.

"Conan?"

Judy and Kamel turned their heads and were a little surprised to see Conan running over alone.

"Conan, why did you run down by yourself? Where are the others?"

"...Forget it for now, hasn't Teacher Judy found your lost friend yet?"

"ah?"

Judy was stunned for a moment, then quickly remembered her previous excuse, "Yes, not yet..."

"Then why don't you call and ask?"

"Telephone?"

Judy's expression was slightly startled, and she quickly said: "His phone should have just run out of battery..."

Have a phone but no battery?

Then why didn't that friend borrow a public phone to call?

Conan was a little concerned about the flaws in Judy's statement, but now was not the time to care about these minutiae.

"Teacher Judy..."

"Conan..."

The two spoke at the same time, which made them both a little surprised for a moment.

Two seconds later, Conan still chose to be humble.

"Teacher Judy, you go ahead."

Judy composed her expression and said solemnly: "Conan, did you see Shuichi when you came down?"

Shuichi?

Shuichi Akai?

Conan still vaguely remembered the gloomy man in Judy's ward after the full moon incident. Although he looked unsmiling, he seemed to be a powerful figure, and his prestige within the FBI was no lower than that of James.

"Is the person that Teacher Judy is looking for Shuichi Akai?"

"Um……"

Conan shook his head honestly, "I didn't see it."

Hearing this, Judy's heart trembled again.

She originally guessed that Akai Shuichi might have taken the escalator upstairs again to avoid herself and Kamel.

But Conan who came down from upstairs said so, which means Shuichi Akai did not go upstairs.

Can a living person disappear like a ghost?

Judy recovered her thoughts and asked again: "Conan, what do you have to say?"

Conan blinked, with an extremely serious expression on his face, "Teacher Judy, did you see a man in black with blond hair coming down from upstairs?"

"Blonde in black?"

Just as Judy was about to deny it subconsciously, Kamel next to her said.

"Didn't someone like this walk by just now?"

Conan's pupils shrank instantly, and he asked excitedly: "Where?!"

"He went that way..."

Kamel pointed to the depths of the mall, which is also the direction leading to the underground garage of the mall.

Without saying a word, Conan took off his short legs and chased in that direction.

Seeing Conan's nervous look, Judy and Kamel looked at each other and felt something was wrong.

Anyway, Akai Shuichi can't be found at all now, so why not follow him and have a look.

Moreover, Judy also had some impressions of the blond man who passed by just now, but she couldn't remember where she had seen him before.

Having made up their minds, the two of them followed Conan's footsteps and ran towards the underground garage.
