The Grammatical Investigator in Conan

Hearing Mary's voice in the headset, Qin Zhibo quickly stopped thinking about the code incident and looked around.

"To the north, coming towards you..."

With Mary's reminder, Qin Zhibo turned his head and looked at the north of Vauxhall Bridge.

This bridge is not a very famous tourist attraction. In fact, the London Municipal Government had planned to demolish the bridge in 1963, but it was later stopped due to the estimated huge cost.

So, the flow of people on this bridge has never been very large.

With the help of the telescope, Qin Zhibo saw at a glance that at the bridge head, a man was walking slowly past the first pier with his hands in his trouser pockets.

The man was wearing a brown cap, with broken hair leaking from under the brim, looking a little unkempt.

The dark green coat was a white shirt inside, and the lower body was a pair of dark blue pants, clean and simple.

Under the hat was a slightly vicissitudes of life, but it couldn't hide the handsome face of an uncle.

Looking at the name floating on the top of the head, it was...

Akai Wuwu.

Qin Zhibo narrowed his eyes slightly, and seeing the man who was still a little distance away from him, he couldn't help but recall the photo of "himself" and that man in the office.

Now 19 years have passed, and the man's face has obviously become thinner than in the photo, and the thick beard and thin face before seem a little inconsistent.

But there is no doubt that it is indeed the face of Akai Wuwu.

But it is just a face...

"Huh..."

Qin Zhibo slightly relaxed his shoulders, turned around, and walked slowly towards the direction of "Akai Wuwu".

At this moment, the already pitiful number of pedestrians and vehicles on the bridge... Even the bridge itself, all seemed to have returned to the gray color that symbolized death.

Only the men at both ends of the bridge, their figures were colored.

They were tall and steady, ignoring all external interference, and approached each other step by step.

The distance between the two was constantly shortening.

Just like Gehros flying towards the solar system in the ether.

In this case, the encounter between the two was inevitable as if by fate...

Finally, under the witness of the street lamps on the bridge, the two came to the distance where they could see each other's faces by looking up.

At this moment, the hearts of the two people on the bridge and Mary who was watching from a distance stopped beating at this moment.

Bang!

"Akai Mutake" felt a heavy impact in her chest, as if something palpitating had appeared.

That was exactly the case. The man who once made her palpitate was walking towards her from the opposite side.

That's right.

"Akai Mutake" who has been wandering around London recently was actually Vermouth pretending to be.

She followed the orders of the organization's boss and planned to use the intelligence gap of Akai Mutake's life and death in MI6 to infiltrate MI6 as Akai Mutake.

For this reason, she occasionally performed "Akai Mutake" cosplay in London three years ago, and deliberately arranged to be seen by MI6 members, but not to be caught up, keeping a state of being close and distant.

Until recently, this plan was finally ready to close the net.

As for why the plan had to be made three years in advance, it was because Akai Wuwu had been "missing" for more than a decade.

If he suddenly returned to MI6 intact, and his disappearance for more than a decade could not be explained clearly, it would definitely arouse suspicion.

In addition, Vermouth could not investigate all of Akai Wuwu's past, so he simply used an excuse of amnesia to cover it up.

In this way, it is understandable that a person with amnesia has been missing for more than a decade and has not been able to find his way home.

However, there is one person who is in the way of this plan, that is Akai Mary.

The two were a couple who used to live together day and night, and no matter how much they used amnesia as an excuse, it is unlikely to deceive Mary's eyes.

Therefore, Vermouth must first find a way to get rid of this widow.

She has appeared on Vauxhall Bridge frequently recently, just because she thinks this place is likely to attract Mary's attention.

This place is next to the MI6 headquarters building. Even if Mary can't find it, MI6 people will notice it and then notify Mary.

Gradually increasing the frequency of going to Vauxhall Bridge until a certain encounter, it also behaves more like a process of a person with amnesia gradually regaining his lost memory.

As a famous female star with good acting skills, her understanding of character performance has reached the point of perfection.

For this reason, Vermouth came again today.

Originally, she planned to linger on the bridge for a while.

If Mary came, today would be the decisive moment for the three-year plan.

If Mary didn't come, she could still come tomorrow, the day after tomorrow...

Until Mary, who had taken the bait, showed up on her own initiative, and then killed her.

But what Vermouth didn't expect was that before the fish she wanted to catch took the bait, she found another big fish in the pond...

This "big fish" had golden curly hair, slightly stubble, and a dark windbreaker...

It was him!

Vermouth's heart trembled violently, and her pupils could not help but shrink suddenly.

The next second, the memories brought by this man immediately popped up in her mind.

The first encounter with him was at the memorial service for Director Sakamaki held at the Haido Hotel.

She was originally sent to support Pisco, but she unexpectedly had a conversation with this man named "Michael" who claimed to be a movie director.

After the case happened, both of them were kept as suspects of the police.

Of course, everyone was successfully cleared of suspicion later, except Pisco, who was executed by Gin because of the truth.

At that time, I didn't care about this man.

Until Michael parachuted in to work with Gin, I and Gin judged that this man was very likely to be the confidant of "that adult" and a cadre sent to monitor the organization.

After that, the full moon plan I arranged failed. Not only did I fail to get rid of Shirley, but I was almost caught by the FBI.

Fortunately, Michael appeared and rescued me in time.

However, this person is not simple. He coveted something of "that adult" and threatened the life of Angel Mao Lilan.

This forced me to compromise. I was sent to the FBI first, and then cooperated with it to rescue him, and then returned to the organization.

Fortunately, with that relationship, I would not be suspected too much by "that adult".

If I hand that thing to Michael, the two of them will not owe each other anything, just as if nothing happened.

However, in the assassination attempt on Domon Yasuteru, Michael finally exposed his true face.

He designed the police to arrest Gin, forcing Gin to be executed by the organization.

Fortunately, he also got the news in time, and with the idea of ​​one-for-one, he replaced the person who played the fake Gin.

To this day, Vermouth still doesn't know what kind of existence this man is.

Is he an undercover of the FBI?

Or an undercover of the Japanese Public Security Bureau?

Or a completely free third-party force?

And today, this long-troubled question seems to have finally been answered...

...

On the bridge of Vauxhall, the two passed each other, and no one showed any expression, as if they were just two ordinary passers-by passing by.

But just after walking a few meters away, Vermouth quickly grabbed the pocket microphone in his collar and commanded.

"Catch the man who just passed by me!"

Vermouth's voice was low, but seemed very urgent.

"Huh?"

The members of the organization on the other side of the microphone were still a little surprised.

Because the order they received was to help Vermouth get rid of a woman.

How did the woman become a man?

Belmode hurriedly said: "He is the one who infiltrated the organization before!"

The two members of the organization who were following Belmode twenty meters away immediately understood.

They put down the newspapers in their hands and walked over here.

At the same time, Mary, holding a telescope, also stared at "Akai Wuwu" on the bridge, staring at her every move.

"He suddenly stopped moving..."

"It seems that he is talking to someone in his clothes..."

This scene is very familiar to Mary, who used to do espionage work. She is using communication equipment to talk to people lurking nearby.

This also completely declares that this Akai Wuwu on the bridge is fake!

In an instant, Mary's heart was torn.

The beautiful vision of the family reunion was shattered like a dream bubble.

Although Qin Zhibo had given her a vaccination in advance, how could the longing and concern for her day and night for the past three years be easily eliminated by the verbal reasoning of an outsider?

But the facts in front of her made her believe it.

Akai Wuwu did not come back.

At least today, there is no...

Mary's eyes were sore, but the pain of frustration did not linger in her eyes for too long, and determination replaced that pain.

The next second, she put down the telescope, lifted the black cloth with her left hand, and revealed a sniper rifle hidden underneath.

...

At the same time, in order to do his job as a "bait", Qin Zhibo did not make any eye contact with "Akai Wuwu" when he passed by him.

So, he didn't know whether this "Akai Wuwu" was real or fake at the first time.

Until Mary's reminder voice in the headset told him that "Akai Wuwu" stopped behind.

If it was the real Akai Wuwu, it would have nothing to do with the identity represented by his face, so he would not stop.

Since he stopped, it means that he knew this face...

It was Vermouth!

Qin Zhibo's heart trembled suddenly.

Although he had long believed that the probability of it being the real Akai Wuwu was less than 1/10, his mood still changed a little until he thoroughly confirmed this fact.

Vermouth...

Is she preparing to take out a gun from behind and kill me?

Qin Zhibo stopped thinking immediately after this thought came up.

Because right in front of his sight, a pair of burly figures were walking towards him.

The two men were wearing black windbreakers, similar to his own style, but with a pair of sunglasses on their faces.

The cold faces under the sunglasses simply wrote "I am not a good person" on them.

They are members of the organization!

Qin Zhibo made such a judgment subconsciously.

The two big men who were walking towards him also put their right hands in their coats in advance before approaching the target.

When the two sides met face to face, they would take out the pistols hidden in their coats and use the method of attacking from both sides to coerce the target.

Qin Zhibo would certainly not let their goal succeed.

When the two sides were one meter apart, the two big men were about to draw their guns, and the pistol handles had not yet been taken out of the coats, and Qin Zhibo's figure suddenly shook.

He hit the hand of the big man on the right who was drawing the gun with his left hand, stopping his progress in drawing the gun.

Then, the elbow followed the momentum of the reaction force and hit the throat of the big man on the left.

The throat is one of the vital parts of the human body.

Under the pressure of such force, the big man's body immediately trembled violently, and his palm subconsciously covered his throat in pain.

"Cough, cough..."

The big man's throat made a dry voice that wanted to speak but couldn't.

The pistol that had just been taken out fell from his waist.

The other big man also reacted immediately and wanted to continue to draw his gun.

But Qin Zhibo's right hand directly made a downward hook and opened his broad chin.

"Uh!"

The big man was hit and staggered back half a step.

Qin Zhibo approached quickly again, not giving him any chance to draw his gun, and raised his right foot fiercely, kicking at the weakest part of the man.

A leg shadow flashed by.

At this moment, it seemed that there was a sound of something breaking.

After solving one problem, just when Qin Zhibo was about to turn his target back to another strong man in black, a sharp warning suddenly came from behind.

"Don't move!"

"If you move again, I'll shoot!"

Qin Zhibo's back suddenly felt cold, because he recognized that it was Vermouth's original voice.

He could only slowly raise his hands and stand still.

Vermouth, who was several meters behind, was still facing Akai Wuwu's face, but the corners of her mouth raised a sneer that didn't match this face.

"It's you..."

"Michael, we meet again."

Vermouth didn't say much, and turned to shout to the still conscious member of the organization next to her.

"Jace!"

"Pick up your gun and take him away from here!"

Vermouth still didn't forget her original intention. In order not to expose her identity, she could only let her men take the man away first.

At her call, the strong man in black adjusted his still uncomfortable throat with one hand, and leaned over to pick up the pistol that fell on the ground.

Suddenly, a bullet flew from the far side of the river.

The 7.62mm bullet directly penetrated the fake Akai Wuwu's shoulder, and a fist-sized blood flower bloomed in the air.

Belmode was hit by the bullet and fell to the ground.

The black-clad sturdy man who was about to pick up the pistol heard the unusual sound and subconsciously looked up.

Qin Zhibo took advantage of this distracted moment and kicked the sturdy man in the face.

Then, another elbow hit the sturdy man's spine hard on the back.

The sturdy man was beaten to the ground and stopped moving completely.

Qin Zhibo quickly picked up the two pistols that fell and ran to Belmode.

The blood stained the tiles on the bridge red.

Belmode, who was lying on the ground, struggled to raise the gun regardless of the severe pain in her body, but Qin Zhibo had already come to her side and pointed the gun at her head.

"Don't move..."

"Do you have other accomplices?"

Qin Zhibo asked coldly while pulling the smaller female pistol from her hand.

But Belmode just gritted her teeth and snorted coldly, without answering.

Qin Zhibo didn't expect her to speak easily, so he slapped her on the back of her neck with a palm knife, knocking her unconscious.

At this time, pedestrians coming from the north side of the bridge also first discovered the two men in black lying motionless on the ground, and were standing by to study what was going on.

Qin Zhibo quickly took out the fake ID that Mary had prepared in advance and shouted to the passers-by.

"I am an agent of MI6!"

"Don't let those two criminals run away, notify the police quickly!"

After saying that, Qin Zhibo picked up Belmode by the waist, carried this "big fish" and ran to the other side of the bridge.
