The Grammatical Investigator in Conan

Chapter 1324 The Disappearing Castle

Salisbury Plain, Stonehenge.

The warm sunshine was like a slowly opening curtain, dispelling the darkness, and the earth was once again emitting lush greenery.

As soon as several cars on the plain stopped not far away, a woman rushed down from the car.

Qin Zhibo also knew this woman, who was Kudo Shinichi's mother, Kudo Yukiko.

Yukiko took two steps at a time and ran to Kudo Shinichi's side.

Kudo Shinichi was in a very bad state at this time, but he had not completely fainted. He saw a blurry figure in front of him through his slightly opened eyes.

"Mom..." His breath was weak, and his brain had no spare energy to think about why he saw Yukiko here.

"Shinichi! It's Mom!"

Yukiko responded, hugged Kudo Shinichi's head in her arms, and brushed away the messy hair on his forehead with heartache.

At this time, Kudo Yusaku also stepped forward and said to Yukiko: "The ambulance is on the way..."

He squatted beside his son again and praised: "Shinichi, you did a good job this time."

"Dad..."

"Ran she..."

Ignoring his father's affirmation, Kudo Shinichi's first thought was Mao Lilan.

Kudo Yusaku turned his head and glanced at the ground next to him. A short-haired woman was giving Mao Lilan a simple physical examination.

"The child is fine, just fainted..."

Hearing that Mao Lilan was fine, Kudo Shinichi's tense nerves relaxed and closed his eyes peacefully.

Qin Zhibo was a little surprised when he saw the Kudo couple suddenly appear.

It is understandable that Kuroba Toichi appeared here, after all, this matter is inseparable from him.

But when Qin Zhibo heard from Minase Yangmeng that someone who looked like the Kudo couple was also here, he was a little confused.

At this time, Kuroba Kaito also walked out of the stone circle with a gem.

When he saw Kuroba Toichi without his disguise and the short-haired woman who was taking care of Mao Lilan, he suddenly showed a surprised expression on his face.

At this time, a bald old man wearing glasses also got off the car, waved excitedly and shouted: "Master!"

"Father Terai?!" Kuroba Kaito stared, "And Dad and Mom!"

"Why are you here?"

Kuroba Kaito looked at his parents, and a bad premonition suddenly surged in his heart.

"This matter is a long story..."

Kuroba Toichi did not answer Kuroba Kaito's question immediately, but turned his eyes to Qin Zhibo.

"These gentlemen, now here are all our own people, I think you can take off the damaged disguise..."

At Kuroba Toichi's reminder, Qin Zhibo realized that his human skin mask had been damaged due to the fight just now, and it was not suitable to continue the disguise.

And Kuroba Toichi, as the only person who knew that Kuroba Kaito came to London with him, also knew his true identity.

Qin Zhibo took off the mask on his face.

When the mask was exposed, a refreshing feeling instantly swept across his face.

At this time, another middle-aged man got off the car.

He walked up to Qin Zhibo and smiled slightly: "We meet again, Mr. Qin."

Qin Zhibo turned his head to look at the man, and after a slight start, he remembered the man's identity.

This person was the one sent by the Nine Angels Organization to recover the "Shining Trioctahedron" after the Las Vegas incident.

Luc Villiers.

...

Then the ambulance and police car arrived at the same time, and the injured Xinlan and the believers left here were sent to the hospital first.

When the British doctor asked what injuries these believers had suffered, Qin Zhibo's answer was that they had suffered a crushing blow below.

The wounds on Qin Zhibo's body were simply bandaged and treated.

Now he wanted to find out what was going on.

Everyone returned to Salisbury City in Wiltshire to rest and held a simple briefing.

It turns out that after Kuroba Toichi returned, he immediately went to the United States with Terai Huang Zhisuke to find Kuroba Chikage.

In addition to finding Kuroba Chikage, he also successfully contacted the Nine Angels Organization behind it.

In fact, since Harui Fuden died, the Nine Angels Organization has been sending agents to secretly monitor the every move of the Beast Brotherhood.

At the same time, the Nine Angels Organization also used the FBI channel to thoroughly investigate the situation of the Beast Brotherhood.

The main resources of the Beast Brotherhood are in Europe, but the Nine Angels Organization investigated a company owned by the Brotherhood in the United States.

The company is called New World (NWI), a science and technology company, which is the cover for the Brotherhood's political and economic activities. The actual controller is Edward Chandler.

Another identity of this person is Günter von Gothenburg II, who is the world's number one illusionist.

The Nine Angels Organization also found that Edward Chandler went to Europe when he was 11 years old. It was rumored that he went there to treat his illness and did not return to the United States until he was 20 years old.

Shortly after returning to the United States, his parents died in a car accident. Edward Chandler inherited NMI from his parents.

After that, Edward Chandler used the pseudonym Günther von Goldberg II to perform illusions around the world and became the world's number one illusionist.

At almost the same time, the notorious international killer "Spider" also appeared.

The original plan of the Nine Angels was to use NMI as a breakthrough point to investigate the Beast Brotherhood.

After the two sides exchanged the information they had, Black Feather Pirates analyzed the Beast Brotherhood's plan.

Once upon a time, the Magic Eye organization also wanted to stop the Beast Brotherhood's conspiracy by searching for reincarnations.

However, the Demonic Eye discovered that searching for reincarnations is equivalent to finding a needle in a haystack, requiring a large investment of manpower, financial and material resources.

The Beast Brotherhood in Europe traveled thousands of miles to bring Edward Chandler to Europe and train him to become an illusionist. It was definitely not just to create a puppet.

Coupled with the investigation that he is currently holding a comeback performance in the UK, Black Feather Pirates concluded that Edward Chandler is likely to be the "reincarnation" mentioned in the prophecy of the Beast Brotherhood.

The next place of action for the Beast Brotherhood is London.

Therefore, they came to London to investigate again...

"According to the information provided by Mr. Luc, the Beast Brotherhood and other brother organizations belonging to the same camp are also planning a conspiracy to resurrect the Black Pharaoh..."

Having said this, Luc Villiers took a step forward and took the initiative to introduce.

"This organization is called the Black Pharaoh Brotherhood. It is a cult organization that fanatically worships the Black Pharaoh. In the past, most of the members of the organization were of Egyptian descent. In the past ten years, they have been relatively tolerant."

"The Nine Angels organization investigated that the Black Pharaoh Brotherhood has an important member in London named Edward Gavigan."

"This man is a famous British Egyptologist, a director of the Penhew Foundation controlled by the Black Pharaoh Brotherhood, and the high priest of the Black Pharaoh Brotherhood in London."

"Mr. Kuroba Toichi guessed that this person must have mastered the Brotherhood's entire action plan, so he investigated him."

"But it is a pity that this person has a strong sense of counter-investigation, and his actions are impeccable. He even uses passwords to encrypt his phone calls with the organization."

"This brought the investigation to a standstill..."

"Fortunately, with the help of Mr. Yusaku Kudo, we were able to decipher the code and get the final location for the reincarnation ceremony, which is Stonehenge on the Salisbury Plain."

"Next, we will arrange the reversal array at Stonehenge in advance, and when the ritual array is activated, we will reverse the array..."

Regarding the reversal of the magic circle, Qin Zhibo had already witnessed it at the séance event held by psychic enthusiasts.

To put it simply, reversing the magic circle can reverse the effect of the magic circle, turning the magic spell into a magic spell.

When applied to the Black Pharaoh's reincarnation ceremony, it is to send the Black Pharaoh's soul back to the dreamland, and even expel Gherroth who created this ideal opportunity.

It's just that you have to wait until the original magic circle has begun to take effect before you can start the reverse magic circle.

This is why we have to wait until that critical moment before taking action.

What Qin Zhibo doesn't understand is why Kudo Yusaku appears here?

Although Kudo Yusaku is the world's top mystery novel writer and his reasoning ability is second to none, Kuroba Thiouichi is Kaitou Kid, and he has fought against Kudo Yusaku before, so it is impossible for him to take the initiative to seek out Kudo Yusaku, right?

Could it be that Kudo Yusaku is also the agent of Nine Angels?

Qin Zhibo asked the doubts in his heart.

This made Kuroba Toichi and Kudo Yusaku look at each other in a tacit understanding, and the corners of their mouths rose slightly at the same time.

Kuroba Toichi: "I took the initiative to find Yusaku."

Excellent work?

Qin Zhibo narrowed his eyes slightly.

"Because we are... brothers."

brother……

"What? You are brothers!"

As soon as these words came out, Qin Zhibo and Kuroba Kaito in the room widened their eyes instantly, with no concealment of shock in their eyes.

Especially Kuroba Kaito's eyes dropped to the ground in shock.

"O-Dad!"

"Are you serious?"

Faced with the question from his own son, Kuroba Toichi nodded affirmatively and replied: "It was when Yuzuo and I were still ignorant, our parents divorced. I was taken away by my father and raised by Yuzuo. Mother……"

After hearing this, Kuroba Kaito was still in shock and was speechless for a while.

He would never have dreamed of such an outrageous plot in his life. The famous detective he had fought against for so long was actually related to him?

That boy Conan should be his cousin...

Kuroba Kaito recalled the birthdays in his passport book. They were the same age, his birthday was June 21st, and Kudo Shinichi's was May 4th...

Oops! My birthday turned out to be smaller!

Kuroba Kaito's pupils shrank suddenly, and he suddenly realized that he had an extra "cousin" for no reason.

The key is that this cousin is still his "rival".

Japan is a country that pays great attention to seniority. Even a cousin who was born more than a month earlier has a much higher status.

At this moment, Kuroba Kaito understood one thing.

If there is anything in life that is more frustrating than not being able to steal a gem, it must be having to bow to your opponent and call him "Brother" in a polite manner.

Compared with Kuroba Kaito who quickly sorted out his seniority in his mind, Qin Zhibo quickly regained his composure.

Now he knew why Kuroba Kaito and Kudo Shinichi looked so similar.

There is no public face in this world, they are all relatives lining up with relatives...

"Well, this matter..."

Qin Zhibo was about to ask about this, did Kudo Shinichi know?

But then I thought about it, he was still lying in the hospital, so he probably didn't know.

Alas... I don't know what the kid will feel when he wakes up and finds out that his uncle and cousin are two generations of Kaito Kid.

When that time comes, I can only offer a few words as comfort.

Your family is really messy...

...

Evening.

Shrewsbury, northern England, UK.

A white car is driving along the Severn River, and the dim headlights are like a flash of ghost fire, passing through the woods.

In the back seat of the car, Bai Ma Tan gently rubbed his temples to relieve the fatigue of the past two days.

Since leaving Blychester, he went north all the way and first came to Worcester.

This is where Ah Fu investigated the clues of the Dusk Villa, and the content of the clue is an old-fashioned architectural sketch kept in a British family.

The building in the sketch is almost exactly the same as the original Dusk Villa.

This sketch comes from the great-great-grandfather of the hostess of this family.

Her great-great-grandfather was a boatman who often worked along the canal track of the Severn River.

About 110 years ago, my great-great-grandfather saw a newly built magnificent castle on a stretch of the Severn River.

Since my great-great-grandfather was very interested in painting and architecture when he was young, he drew a sketch based on the appearance of the castle.

But when he passed by there again 30 years later, he found that the castle standing on the river bank had disappeared.

This incident has always troubled my great-great-grandfather, and he was still worried about it until he died, so he passed it on to the next generation.

Of course, the hostess's great-grandfather and grandfather did not see the magnificent castle like a palace on the Severn River.

However, this story has been circulated in the hostess's family.

At that time, her great-great-grandfather said that the stretch of the river was located in Shrewsbury, north of Worcester, and was said to have been built by a person of prominent status at the time.

Following this clue, the White Horse Detective came to Shrewsbury to investigate.

However, in the local historical log, the White Horse Detective did not find any information about the castle.

But when he visited the local elderly, he learned from an old man that his experience was very similar to that of the boatman.

The grandfather of the old man used to work in a manor 3 miles away from the town of Shrewsbury.

The manor was very luxurious. At that time, it was definitely impossible for an ordinary person to live in such a manor.

However, he was not very clear about the origin of the male owner. He only heard vaguely that he was related to a prominent noble in London.

When the male owner was less than 30 years old, he planned to build a castle in a sparsely populated area near the Severn River.

Since the old man’s grandfather was a gardener in the manor, he was sent to the construction site of the castle to clear the weeds and trees around the river.

After about a few years, the castle was built.

It was really a gorgeous castle. The old man’s grandfather swore that he had never seen such a gorgeous building in his life.

However, just when he thought that the male owner of the manor would soon move into his new home and he could also work around the magnificent castle, the male owner had no plans to move.

Later, the male owner left the manor and went to other places. Most of the servants were fired, including the gardener.

Many years later, when the gardener was dying of lung disease, he finally remembered to go and see the castle again.

But when he finally got there, he found that the castle had disappeared.
