The Grammatical Investigator in Conan

That adult.

The most powerful person in an organization can also be called the boss of the organization.

Conan had previously asked Haibara Ai about whether the leader of the organization was Gin.

Huihara Ai’s answer is——

"How could it be Gin?"

"But I have never seen the boss of the organization. I just heard that there is such a person who controls the entire organization..."

"No one in the organization has ever mentioned his name. They always use 'that adult' instead."

At this moment, hearing the rare title "Sir", Conan couldn't help but wonder if he was in contact with "that Lord" in the organization.

After all, if the young man in front of him is really related to "Michael", then he is indirectly related to the organization.

But on second thought, Conan felt something was wrong.

If the young man in front of him was the person next to "that adult", he would have been silenced last night for exposing his true identity.

And no matter how you look at it, this kid doesn't seem to be qualified to serve "that adult"...

Of course, unless this silly look on his face is also an illusion created to confuse himself.

While Conan was thinking about it, Qin Zhibo on the other side of the phone also heard something unusual about the call.

It was clearly Conan's number, but it was Kuroba Kaito who spoke?

Kuroba Kaito didn't have his own phone with him, so he probably used Conan's phone.

But with Conan's vigilance, he might be eavesdropping.

Qin Zhibo hesitated for a second and asked cautiously: "Is that kid around?"

"Uh-huh!"

Kuroba Kaito was a little touched. Qin Zhibo guessed his predicament right away.

He continued: "I can't escape yet, so I can only put the mission aside for a while..."

"There's no time for that."

Qin Zhibo interrupted Kuroba Kaito's words and said seriously: "I went to the University of Bristol last night and met the person who continued the research on the Great Halley's Comet, named Ingels..."

"He came up with a rough result by calculating the planetary orbit. There are still up to ten days left before the return of Halley's Comet."

"Ten, ten days?" Kuroba Kaito's eyes were shocked and he repeated in disbelief.

Conan, who was eavesdropping on the side, frowned slightly and recorded the time in his mind.

Qin Zhibo on the other side continued: "Ingalls said it would take another night to calculate the final result and asked me to contact him after 6 o'clock this morning."

"But when I called just now, he didn't answer the phone for some reason."

"The accurate return time of Halley's Comet is very important to us. You should go to the Institute of Astronomy at the University of Brightchester now."

"I have a bad feeling in my heart..."

Qin Zhibo's tone was always serious, precisely because when he called Ingalls on time, no one answered the phone.

This situation is obviously abnormal.

Even if Ingalls was so excited that he temporarily forgot the agreement he made with himself, he would probably come up with research results that would shock the world, and he would probably be on the phone to tell them.

But now that no one is answering the phone, maybe something happened.

Because now, not only himself, but also the zoo organization is closely watching the time for Gehroth's return.

"Now?"

Kuroba Kaito glanced at Conan who was standing low. If he went to Brichester by himself, this kid would definitely follow him.

Qin Zhibo also knew Kuroba Kaito's concerns and said bluntly: "Don't worry about him."

"It's still important to do business now. If he wants to follow, just follow..."

"I have to inform the Hobo Thaumaturgy Troupe. I have other things to do in the afternoon, so I'll leave this to you."

After saying that, Qin Zhibo hung up the phone.

If time were not tight, he would also like to go to Blychester to investigate the situation in person.

But just as he said on the phone, he would contact Judy Hooper in the morning to carefully protect the gems, and the last moment was approaching.

In the afternoon, we also asked Mary to go "fishing" on Vauxhall Bridge.

If everything goes well, whether the person "catched" is the real Akai Muwu or a member of the organization, they might be able to learn some inside information about the organization.

Especially when facing an imminent crisis of extinction, what actions will the organization take?

After all, with Renye Karasuma's level of knowledge, Gherroth's return should have been expected by him.

…

"Hello?"

"Hello?"

Kuroba Kaito on the other side of the phone wanted to say a few more words, but Qin Zhibo on the other side had already hung up the phone.

Bye?

Kuroba Kaito was stunned for a second before his brain reacted first and deleted the call history.

By the time Conan got his phone, the call records had disappeared.

cut……

Conan closed the cover of his phone in displeasure, thinking about the information about the conversation between the two of them just now.

Since Kuroba Kaito covered the phone tightly, he only heard Kuroba Kaito's voice.

However, Kuroba Kaito revealed very little information. He only heard keywords such as "mission" and "ten days".

It seems that he came to London to perform a certain mission, with a deadline of ten days...

But what exactly is the mission?

Conan was thinking with his chin raised, but Kuroba Kaito had already walked out of the toilet and started to put on his pants.

Seeing this, Conan quickly chased out of the toilet and asked, "Hey, what are you doing?"

"I want to go out……"

Kuroba Kaito didn't explain much. Anyway, the legs were on his body, so he could leave whenever he wanted.

When Conan heard this, he became a little anxious and asked quickly, "You don't want your passport anymore?"

"Keep it if you want... Kudo Shinichi."

Kuroba Kaito had a confident smile on his face, showing no fear of Conan's threat.

This made Conan panic a little, and he quickly glanced at Mouri Kogoro on the bed next to him.

Fortunately, Mouri Kogoro was a heavy sleeper and did not hear such crucial information.

Now that Kuroba Kaito is determined to get out, there are only two ways left for Conan.

Ichijo, gave up and continued to follow Kuroba Kaito and let him leave.

On the other hand, continue to follow him, but you can't solve the code incident in London yourself.

Damn it!

Conan shouted angrily in his heart, but chose the latter.

…

Snap, snap, snap.

Bang bang...

After a while, Xiaolan, wearing pink pajamas, opened the door sleepily.

She was stunned when she saw the fully dressed "Kudo Shinichi" and Conan standing at the door.

"Shinichi, and Conan?"

"What are you doing up so early?"

"Haha..." Conan laughed dryly and explained, "Brother Shinichi and I have a place to go..."

"Where are you going?" Mao Lilan asked puzzledly.

"go……"

Conan didn't know where to go, because Kuroba Kaito hadn't told him the destination yet.

Seeing this, Kuroba Kaito next to him smiled and scratched his head, "Actually, this kid wants to visit my place of work. After all, he has always admired me~"

Conan: I adore you as a ghost!

"Ah?" Mao Lilan was surprised, "Xinyi, are you going back to work?"

"Wait a moment, let me go too. I happen to be a little curious about what you are up to, Shinichi..."

When he heard that Mao Lilan was about to follow, Conan quickly waved his hand, "No! Sister Xiaolan, brother Shinichi said girls can't come to that place!"

"Girls can't come? Why?"

"Because it's in a cemetery, it's very scary, there are dismembered corpses and the like..."

Conan knew Mao Lilan's weakness, so he deliberately intimidated her.

The result was as he expected. When Mao Lilan heard that the work place was in the cemetery, she shivered all over, and the slightly drooping "horn" on her head trembled.

Mao Lilan, who revealed a pair of beady eyes, murmured.

"Then I'd better not go..."

…

After coming out of the hotel, Kuroba Kaito called a special car through the hotel front desk and prepared to go straight to Brightchester.

In the car, Conan finally heard about Kuroba Kaito's destination.

Brightchester?

What is this place?

He quickly opened the mobile phone network and searched, and found out that Blychester is a small town northwest of London.

Apart from the world-famous University of Brightchester, there is nothing else worthy of praise.

What is this guy doing there?

Are you meeting up with your companions?

Although Kuroba Kaito called the other person "sir" on the phone just now, Conan still thought it was a smoke bomb.

However, the other party's name really makes it difficult for me to guess basic information such as the other party's gender and age.

While Conan was thinking, Kuroba Kaito sitting in the front seat suddenly spoke.

"Aren't you afraid that I am a bad person and will take you to that place to deal with you secretly?"

Conan glanced at Kuroba Kaito, who was looking sideways at him, with a somewhat calm and confident smile on his lips.

"You will not……"

"Besides, your passport is with the doctor. As long as I don't go back on time, the doctor can call the police."

Conan also showed his cards, and he had a backup plan.

Although the Mori father and daughter would think that Shinichi kidnapped Conan, Dr. Agasa was the one who knew the whole thing.

In addition, Conan felt from the bottom of his heart that the boy named Kuroba Kaito in front of him was not a bad person.

Conan had a familiar feeling about him.

This feeling does not come from the appearance and voice that are almost the same as Kudo Shinichi, but from somewhere else...

"Have we met somewhere before?"

Conan suddenly asked with deep meaning.

Kuroba Kaito turned his head, leaned back on the chair, and murmured.

"Oh, who knows..."

…

After another hour and a half, the Maori father and daughter and Dr. A Li finally got up.

After hearing from Mao Lilan that Conan had followed "Kudo Shinichi", Dr. Ali was shocked.

"ah!"

Mao Lilan, who originally didn't pay much attention to this situation, turned to look at him and asked, "What's wrong? Doctor?"

Dr. A Li asked with a slightly trembling voice: "Are you sure Conan is conscious and voluntary? Xiaolan..."

Mao Lilan nodded without knowing why, "Yes, Conan said that he was very interested in Shinichi's work and wanted to follow him to have a look..."

"Shinichi said that Conan can be sent back before dinner, so we don't have to worry."

At this time, Mouri Kogoro was tying his tie in front of the mirror and said in a rough voice: "Aren't those two boys originally related to each other?"

"So don't worry about them..."

Dr. A Li heard this and could only accept the situation silently.

Just like that, after the three of them had finished washing up in the room, they went to the hotel restaurant to eat the free breakfast and saw the latest news being broadcast on the restaurant TV.

Mouri Kogoro didn't pay attention at first, because the TV program was in English and he could hardly understand it.

However, both Dr. A Li and Mao Lilan, who are better at English, heard it, especially Dr. A Li. As a doctor of engineering, his English proficiency is not bad.

The doctor serves as a translator and narrates the news on TV to the Maori father and daughter.

"It says that clues have been found about the code notes that were rampant in London yesterday..."

"The police extracted the suspect's fingerprints from the note. The suspect's name is..."

"Hades Shabala..."

"This man is a serial murderer who is on the run and has committed many vicious murders before."

"The police are currently looking for this person with all their strength. We hope that citizens with relevant clues can contact..."

While chewing bread, Mouri Kogoro analyzed: "Then it seems those notes are not a prank."

"And since this person left his fingerprints on the note, it means that he is also ready to burn the boat and do something big in the end..."

When Mao Lilan heard this, an anxious expression appeared on his face, "Doesn't that mean there will be bloodshed in London soon?"

"Yeah." Mouri Kogoro swirled the last piece of bread into his mouth and said seriously: "Unless we can decipher the meaning of the code on the note first."

"Let's go, there's not much time to waste..."

…

As soon as the three Maori people left the hotel, Mao Lilan immediately called Sera Masumi.

After all, the three of them, outsiders, still need the help of locals to decipher this code that obviously has regional characteristics.

When Sera Masumi arrived in the car and saw that there were only three people, Maori Lan, Maori Kogoro, and Dr. Agasa, he suddenly showed a surprised expression.

"Eh?"

"Where are Conan and Kudo Shinichi?"

Mao Lilan explained it truthfully.

After listening to Mao Lilan's explanation, there was a trace of regret in Serang Zhenchun's eyes.

Whether he is a magician or a candidate for a magician, they are all gone now...

Forget it, the secret code is more important right now.

Sera Masumi gathered her mood and quickly communicated with Maori and others about what was on the news this morning.

"Actually, I've heard of this Hades Shabala..."

"This man was originally an honest office worker. Later, because his mother was seriously ill and in urgent need of surgery fees, he began to borrow money from acquaintances and invested the money in stocks and gambling. As a result, he lost all his money."

"His mother died in the hospital in July last year, and Hades started committing crimes one after another almost a month later."

"Whether it was an acquaintance who forced him to repay his debts or a friend who advised him to invest in stocks, they were all killed one after another."

"In the end, he even bombed the hospital that refused to operate on his mother, causing a lot of casualties."

"He is truly the 'Hades'..."
