The Grammatical Investigator in Conan

Clap, clap, clap.

Thunderous applause broke out in the classroom, which was a friendly welcome from the children.

After a few seconds, the applause stopped.

"Come on, Mr. Wakasa..." Teacher Kobayashi motioned to Rumi Wakasa next to her to come up and say a few words.

However, Rumi Wakasa looked timid, her face flushed, and her eyes looking down.

She hesitated for a few seconds with her lips slightly parted before she spoke: "That..."

"Hello everyone, my name is Rumi Wakasa..."

"Ten years older than your Mr. Kobayashi..."

"Please, please take care of me!"

As soon as she finished speaking, she bowed forward.

As a result, she bowed too hard, and her forehead hit the podium directly, making a muffled "bang" sound.

This rash move first stunned everyone in the classroom, and then, everyone burst into laughter.

The classroom was filled with a cheerful atmosphere.

Seeing that Rumi Wakasa did not perform well in the first meeting, Kobayashi hurried over to comfort her.

Conan, who was sitting below, watched Wakasa Rumi's reckless behavior, and confirmed in his heart that this could not be the "Elena" he met in London.

Although they look very similar...

"But it's rare to have a deputy head teacher in the class at this time..." Conan murmured.

Huihara Ai, who was sitting next to him, hugged her shoulders and looked coldly at Wakasa Rumi who made a fool of herself on the podium, and said lightly: "Because there are many transfer students like us in this class, we need a deputy head teacher..."

"Really?"

Conan, who had other answers in his mind, put one hand on his chin and glanced in the direction of the three little ones.

It is estimated that these three are too troublesome, so the school arranged another deputy head teacher?

...

In a blink of an eye, the morning passed, and it was lunch time.

The five members of the Junior Detective Team put together their study tables and sat together to eat.

Facing the nutritionally balanced but light children's meal, the other four people ate with relish.

Only Conan looked at the milk, fried rice, bread, and vegetable corn platter on the plate, and had no interest in eating.

Alas, when can I change back?

Conan used a spoon to stir the broccoli on the plate and sighed softly.

Since returning from London, the impact of the organization's affairs on his heart has not only not weakened, but has become more profound.

Now everyone is doing their part to fight the organization, how can I sit here and eat children's meals with peace of mind?

Or ask for leave from school?

Xiaolan can also temporarily withdraw...

Anyway, there is Kuroba Kaito now, no matter what I do, Xiaolan will not suspect me.

Now even if I reveal "I am Kudo Shinichi" in front of Xiaolan, Xiaolan will definitely laugh it off.

So, on the way back by plane with Kuroba Kaito, Conan agreed on some things with this "cousin".

For example, since Kuroba Kaito looks too much like "Kudo Shinichi", in order to avoid misunderstandings after seeing Ran Maoli, Kuroba Kaito's activities in Tokyo in the future are limited to the southwest centered on Ekoda Town.

No more than Shibuya.

If there is any important reason to come to Mika, you must report it in advance.

Secondly, if there is a need here, Kuroba Kaito can come and help play "Kudo Shinichi" at any time.

However, during the performance, Conan also made three rules with him.

First, no physical contact is allowed.

Second, no physical contact is allowed.

Third, no physical contact is allowed.

Important things must be agreed three times.

The reason why Kuroba Kaito agreed to these agreements was that he felt that he had used Kudo Shinichi's identity before, which led to Shinichi and Ran being targeted by the Beast Brotherhood, and he felt sorry for it.

At this time, Huihara Ai next to him suddenly said: "You seem to be a little bit wrong..."

"Me?" Conan was stunned, "Is there?"

Huihara Ai did not turn to look at him, but said to herself, "You spent most of this morning with your head down thinking..."

"Did something happen during this trip to London?"

Hearing Huihara Ai's guess, Conan's pupils trembled, and he sighed in his heart that his intuition was so accurate.

But he must not let Huihara Ai know about those things in London, otherwise she would worry about it again.

"Haha~ What's the matter?"

"There's nothing special about this trip to London, really..."

Huihara Ai: "..."

She glanced at Conan who was scratching his head and laughing, and knew he was lying.

Before Conan returned to Japan, she saw the scene photos of the Wimbledon bombing on the Internet, and Conan was in it.

With Conan's habits, it is impossible that he has no connection with the case.

But since Conan didn't want to say it, and the incident was over, she didn't want to ask any more questions.

Otherwise, it would seem as if I care about him a lot...

Just then, the newly appointed vice-teacher Wakasa Rumi walked to the small dining table of the Junior Detectives and asked cautiously: "Excuse me... do you know where to find lime?"

"Lime?" Ayumi put down the bread in her hand, "What does the teacher need the lime for?"

Wakasa grabbed her hands in front of her collar and said shyly: "You are going to play dodgeball on the playground in the first physical education class in the afternoon, right?"

"So I wanted to use the lime to draw all the necessary lines in advance during the lunch break, but the lime for drawing the lines happened to be used up, and there was no spare in the warehouse..."

At this time, Conan, as an "old senior", took the initiative and said: "Then we should go to the school's old warehouse and have a look. Maybe there is some lime there?"

Yuantai showed a wicked look, "Is it that dilapidated warehouse that is rumored to be haunted by ghosts?"

Mitsuhiko immediately followed the rhythm, "I heard that a long time ago, there was a teacher who was locked up in that warehouse and starved to death..."

"Yes, I heard that there are still people near the warehouse. Please help me. I'm so hungry. I want to eat eel rice..."

Conan helplessly threw away his half-moon eyes. This is obviously something you want to eat, right?

However, just when the three children were just chatting and laughing, and had become accustomed to such topics about dead people, Haibara Ai saw the fearful expression on Rumi Wakasa's face.

She saw what the new teacher was afraid of.

"What's wrong? Don't you know where the old warehouse is?"

Haihara Ai did not ask the somewhat embarrassing question "What are you afraid of?", but changed the question to guide him to express his demands.

"I, I know where it is..."

Rumi Wakasa became even more coy, "That, that...that's, that..."

"Is it because you are afraid that you want us to accompany you?"

Conan put it bluntly, without saving any face.

"Well~ yes."

Rumi Wakasa admitted graciously.

…

After the young detective team finished lunch, they took Rumi Wakasa to the back of the school.

This is an abandoned vacant lot, not far from the garbage storage point.

In the middle of the open space, an abandoned warehouse stands.

Conan looked at the warehouse in front of him and couldn't help feeling that things were different and people were different.

When I went to elementary school here ten years ago, this warehouse was still in use, and it wasn't as shabby as it is now.

"Look, the door here is unlocked!" Yuantai pointed at the warehouse door and shouted.

Conan put his hands in his pockets and said nonchalantly: "There was no lock here 10 years ago..."

Before he finished speaking, Hui Yuan Ai next to him touched him with his elbow.

Realizing that he had said the wrong thing, Conan quickly shut up.

But the three little ones who had heard what he said still turned around in surprise.

"Eh? How did Conan know?" Ayumi asked in a puzzled tone.

"Uh... Sister Xiaolan told me, haha~" Conan scratched his head, his expression was exactly the same as when he lied to Haihara Ai just now.

But the three little ones still looked unbelieving.

Seeing this, Haiyuan Ai directly changed the subject, "Since it hasn't been used for such a long time, why didn't it be discarded earlier?"

Conan held his chin up, "I remember the principal said at the graduation ceremony that it couldn't be dismantled because of Feng Shui reasons..."

"No!" Realizing that he had said something wrong, he came back to his senses and quickly corrected him, "I said it during the opening ceremony..."

"The opening ceremony?" Mitsuhiko frowned and looked confused, "Conan, aren't you a transfer student? Where have you ever attended the opening ceremony?"

Ayumi: "And it seems that the principal never said such a thing..."

Forehead……

Realizing that he was getting darker and darker, Conan hurriedly walked towards the warehouse with a smile, "Ha~ I think we should hurry up and go in to find lime!"

Hui Yuan Ai hugged his shoulders and wondered to himself whether Conan had been too careless about his identity recently, right?

Although Gin is dead now, it is possible that others in the organization still remember Kudo Shinichi.

Fortunately, there is no one nearby who can trigger the organization's radar, otherwise those few words just now will definitely arouse suspicion.

However, Rumi Wakasa, who was standing behind like a transparent person, was already looking at the two of them thoughtfully.

…

Pushing the door open and entering the warehouse, a musty smell immediately hit the air.

Because the warehouse has been abandoned for a long time, the lights inside can no longer be turned on.

Rumi Wakasa wanted to go back and get the flashlight, but all the members of the Boy Detective Team took out watch-shaped flashlights.

"No flashlight, we have this!"

Rumi Wakasa looked at the watch-shaped flashlights in the three small hands and was slightly startled, "You actually carry such a convenient tool with you..."

When someone praised him, Genta quickly showed off, "Dr. Ali made this for us!"

"There is also a detective medal that can be used as a walkie-talkie!"

The three little ones showed off their detective medals together again to Rumi Wakasa.

Rumi Wakasa looked at the little detective medal, which had a walkie-talkie function, and immediately grasped the key point, murmuring: "That doctor is so awesome..."

Next, several people began to search the warehouse.

Although this warehouse has been abandoned for a long time, there are several rows of shelves inside, dividing the warehouse into several areas.

There are a lot of unused items on the shelves, so it takes some time to find them.

Of course, that's assuming there's lime.

Conan was walking around the warehouse with a watch-shaped flashlight in his hand, seemingly looking for lime, but in fact he was still thinking about the organization.

Qin Zhibo said in London that he believed the real purpose of the organization was probably related to the existence of "Cthulhu".

Cthulhu is a god who sleeps in the sea.

And the purpose of the organization is to revive it.

After experiencing all the previous parallel worlds, Conan now fully realizes that not everything in this world can be explained by science.

At least not in what humans think of as science.

However, Conan felt that Cthulhu itself should not be as evil as a "god".

First of all, it is possible that alien creatures do exist.

The so-called gods should be some more powerful, mysterious and unknown alien creatures.

Just like the ancient humans even regarded thunder, lightning, wind and rain, and solar eclipses as totems of gods, which actually gave a lofty meaning to incomprehensible things.

Cthulhu now is an incomprehensible existence for humans.

After returning to Japan, Conan tried to search for some relevant clues on the Internet, but he didn't get much.

In addition to the rhetoric of the Old Ones, Cthulhu is sleeping in the underwater city of R'lyeh and will reappear in the world when the stars return to their positions.

However, compared with the previous online searches, Conan found that there are obviously more related content about "Cthulhu" on the Internet.

Previously, only the Noah's Ark Knowledge Website had this entry, but now many people are discussing it.

Some said that they dreamed of Cthulhu; some said that they had dived into the seabed; and some said that they were the children of Cthulhu.

In short, one is more outrageous than the other...

So, as a staunch materialist, Conan will only believe in things that have been proven to exist.

Just as Conan was thinking, the three children on the other side picked up a schedule on the shelf in the warehouse.

The paper of the schedule was tattered, and there were many blank spaces.

"Let me see..."

Huihara Ai came over and took the schedule from Ayumi.

There were two columns on it, "Month, Fire, Water, Wood, Gold, and Earth", representing the days of the week, and only the courses were written in the first column.

However, Huihara Ai saw something wrong at a glance, and her eyes narrowed slightly.

But she did not make it public, but planned to show it to her old friend in this school, Conan, later, maybe he could remember what was going on.

On the other side, Conan found a floor door while walking.

Huh? Is there this here?

The floor door is made of iron, covered with mottled rust.

However, the rust on the floor door and the door frame is worn and falling off.

This made Conan suspicious.

Has anyone opened this door recently?

Driven by curiosity, Conan bit his watch with his mouth, squatted in front of the door, held the welded handle on the iron door with both hands, and tried to open the door with a weightlifting posture.

He used both hands, and the height of the door slowly rose.

But when he maintained the posture of lifting the door, the light of the watch in his mouth shone into the basement, but he saw a human skeleton lying in front of the stairs.

What? !

Conan was surprised and subconsciously opened his mouth slightly, but the watch fell down the stairs.

Others heard the sound and hurried over, and saw Conan practicing weightlifting.

"Conan, what are you doing?"

"Yuanta, come over and hold the door!"

Conan looked serious and quickly called the first tank in the group to come and hold the door.
