The Grammatical Investigator in Conan

Chapter 1339: The disappearance of Akai Shuichi

"Teacher Wakasa!"

The three children saw that it was Wakasa Rumi who emerged from the stairs, and their faces instantly became happy.

Conan looked surprised.

Because he heard the voice from above, he thought that the two robbers were going to do something bad to her female teacher.

When the ropes on the three children and Conan were untied, they went to the warehouse above and saw that the two robbers were lying on the ground with their legs spread out, unconscious.

There was a slightly wide red mark on their faces, as if they had just been beaten.

This is...

Conan squatted next to the robber to check and found that this slightly wide mark did not look like it was left by a fist, but rather like something hitting the face.

He glanced around and felt that the flat sand rake placed next to the storage rack was the most suspicious.

Could it be that this thing was used to knock down the robbers?

At this moment, a noisy police siren sounded outside the warehouse.

The police finally arrived.

...

Soon, the police who had inquired about the situation took the three robbers away.

One of the robbers could not be awakened because of Conan's anesthetic needle, so he had to be carried out on a stretcher.

As for the 200 million stolen money, it was also taken away by the police.

When Conan, Wakasa Rumi and other members of the Junior Detective Team finished their statements and came out of the Metropolitan Police Department building, it was already late.

There were elementary school students here, and Wakasa Rumi was a weak woman, so the police were naturally responsible for sending her home.

And this arduous task naturally fell on Takagi.

Takagi sat in the driver's seat, fastened his seat belt, and asked Wakasa Rumi, who was sitting next to him in the passenger seat, "Excuse me, where is Miss Wakasa's home address?"

Because this situation had happened more than once in the Junior Detective Team, and Takagi was always instructed to send people, he had already memorized the addresses of Conan and others.

Only this new face, he didn't know the address yet.

Wakasa Rumi smiled slightly, with a glimmer on her right eye lens, "It's not far from here, it's 6-chome 24, Beika-cho~"

Hearing this address, Conan, who was squeezed in the back row with the three little ones, trembled slightly.

Beika 6-chome 24...

This address sounds so familiar.

The next second, Conan's eyes changed, and he suddenly remembered.

This is exactly the address Qin Zhibo asked him to investigate!

When he was in London, Qin Zhibo asked him to help investigate an address.

Someone who lives at this address posted the content of a case related to the organization 17 years ago on the Internet.

As for which case it was, Qin Zhibo did not elaborate.

But Conan guessed that since Qin Zhibo asked him to investigate, he was also intentionally guiding him to find the truth.

Originally, after school today, he planned to take a detour to this address to explore the way, but he didn't expect these things to happen.

It seems that this is a good opportunity...

...

In about half an hour, Takagi sent Ayumi, Genta, and Mitsuhiko home one after another.

Conan and Wakasa Rumi were left, and Conan took the initiative to ask to send Wakasa Rumi home first.

"Wakasa teacher is closer to here, let's send Wakasa teacher first!"

"How can this be possible?" Wakasa Rumi hurriedly declined.

"It doesn't matter! I have already explained the situation to Uncle Maori and Sister Xiaolan, and I will go back a little later..."

At Conan's request, Takagi drove the car to Beika 6-chome 24 first.

When the car slowly stopped at the door of an apartment building, Conan looked out the window with a slightly surprised look, remembering that he had passed by here before.

That time, he and several members of the Junior Detective Team went to Dr. Agasa's house together to help the doctor find a friend's wedding invitation.

On the way, he also met Qin Zhibo at the door of this apartment building.

Although it was an accidental encounter, Qin Zhibo was indeed looking at the resident's mailbox in front of this apartment building at that time, as if looking for something.

"Goodbye, Conan~"

"Well! Goodbye, Mr. Wakasa!"

After getting off the bus, Rumi Wakasa turned around and said goodbye to Conan, then turned and walked straight into the apartment building.

Conan looked at Rumi Wakasa's back as she left, but suddenly felt that the surname "Wakasa" sounded familiar.

Huihara Ai also met Qin Zhibo here that time.

At that time, I thought that Qin Zhibo appeared here for a certain commission, so I turned back curiously to check the name on the mailbox.

And Huihara Ai also turned back with me.

At that time, Huihara Ai saw the surname "Wakasa" in the mailbox of the residents here, and mentioned that she had been to the American Island in Wakasa Bay, Fukui Prefecture.

Huihara Ai was still in the organization at the time, and went to the American Island with Gin and Vodka.

This was certainly not an employee welfare trip organized by the organization, but a clue mentioned in the research materials of Drug A that Huihara Ai went to the island to investigate.

This clue points to the longevity woman on the island who is rumored to have lived for 130 years.

Gin used his own methods to investigate that this longevity woman was someone else pretending to be her, so he dropped this clue.

It was because of what Huihara Ai said that he realized that the case that happened on the American Island before was not the truth...

Now it seems that Qin Zhibo appeared here at that time just to investigate what he is investigating now.

Wakasa...

The clue of the organization's drug A points to the American Island in Wakasa Bay, and this Wakasa Rumi happens to live in this place.

Is this a coincidence?

Conan held his chin up, thinking seriously about the things that happened today since he met Wakasa Rumi.

First of all, he and the Junior Detective Team were called by Wakasa Rumi to help find lime, and that's when they encountered the code left by the leader of the robbers.

After that, whenever he got stuck in solving the code, it was Wakasa Rumi who reminded him.

Once she reminded him of the class schedule, and once she reminded him of using the Iroha song.

If these two can be explained by coincidence, then how to explain the secret code being leaked on the Internet?

The police must not leak secrets, and the reporters who came to interview could not get a picture of the secret code.

Only Wakasa Rumi, who saw the secret code at the time, could leak it...

And why did she return to the abandoned warehouse after school in the evening?

Although she said that she left her key here during the day when she was taking a statement at the police station, how could it be such a coincidence?

It was as if she knew that the three little ones and herself would be in trouble at that time.

The key is that the two robbers, judging from the marks on their bodies, were easily knocked down by her, not as she said in the record, "she beat them randomly".

She didn't beat them randomly...

She was well prepared for all of this.

Conan's eyes sank, and a chill suddenly surged in his heart.

Assuming that this Wakasa Rumi had already figured out the secret code used by the robbers and took advantage of this incident...

But why did she do this?

Is this person an enemy or a friend?

At the same time, in a bedroom upstairs in the apartment building.

The thick black curtains blocked the light from the outside world tightly, and only the laptop screen in the room emitted a dazzling light.

Wakasa Rumi was wearing a thin underwear.

Under the illumination of the computer screen's fluorescent light, a large number of sharp cuts on her arms and waist and abdomen were exposed.

She controlled the touchpad with one hand and clicked on a list in a few clicks.

On the left side of the list is the name, and on the right side is the status.

But the "status bar" on the right is a bit scary, and it all shows death.

Takeishi Yoshio, dead.

Kudo Shinichi, dead.

Toyota Minoru, dead.

Haneda Hiroshi, dead...

She stared at the names on the list quietly, and a faint smile slowly appeared on the corner of her mouth.

...

Tokyo Haneda International Airport.

After 15 hours of flight, the flight from London finally landed smoothly.

Not long after, a mixed-race man and a blonde woman walked out of the airport.

The two took their own suitcases, and as soon as they left the airport, the woman asked the man next to her.

"Where is Shuichi now?"

The man was stunned and asked in confusion: "Shuichi is in Beikacho, Tokyo, but are you sure you want to meet him tonight?"

"Yes." The woman nodded affirmatively.

Seeing that Akai Mary was determined, Qin Zhibo said nothing more.

He waved his hand, called a taxi, and told the driver to go straight to Beikacho 2-chome after getting in the car.

After driving for about 40 minutes, under the guidance of Qin Zhibo, the driver parked the car at No. 21, Beihua-cho 2-chome.

After getting off the car, Mary looked up at the huge western-style house in front of her, and glanced at the "Kudo House" hanging on the doorpost.

At this time, the window on the second floor of the western-style house was still lit, indicating that the people inside had not fallen asleep yet.

Looking at the lighted window, Mary's determined eyes couldn't help but flicker.

The last time she met her eldest son was at the beach in Shizuoka Prefecture.

At that time, the two had some disputes over whether to stay in the United States, and they even fought.

Later, after some things, she finally agreed to Akai Shuichi's decision to let him go to the United States to pursue the truth.

It has been 10 years since this separation.

Now they meet again, but I didn't expect it to be an eldest son who has lost his memory.

Thinking of this, Akai Mary rubbed her fingers uneasily.

"Okay..."

"Go in."

Standing at the gate of the yard for half a minute, Mary finally made up her mind.

Seeing that Mary was ready, Qin Zhibo raised his hand and pressed the doorbell.

Zi——

As the sound of the doorbell was transmitted to the interior of the house through the wires, someone in the room suddenly raised his head.

A few seconds later, the big iron door was opened remotely.

Qin Zhibo and Akai Mary pulled the suitcase to the middle of the courtyard, and the door opened.

A tall figure was standing at the bright door.

Seeing the figure that might be her son, Mary quickened her pace and walked forward.

But when she stepped onto the steps, the bright backlight in the room became dim due to the closer distance, and Mary froze in place.

The tall man standing at the door had coffee-gold hair and dark skin that were completely inconsistent with Akai Shuichi.

"Excuse me, who are you..."

The blond man was also stunned when he saw the completely unfamiliar foreign woman.

Qin Zhibo, who was behind, saw this and hurried forward to introduce the two.

"Mary, this is the person I told you about before, the one who takes care of Shuichi Akai's daily life..."

"Toru, this is Mary Akai, Shuichi Akai's mother."

After Qin Zhibo's introduction, both parties finally reacted and shook hands.

"Hello, my name is Toru Amuro, I've heard of you for a long time"

"Hello, thank you for taking care of my son..."

Although Toru Amuro had criticized Akai Shuichi before, he was still very polite to Akai Marie.

At this time, Qin Zhibo on the side asked: "How is Akai Shuichi's recent situation? Is it stable?"

"Mary wants to see him now, do you think that's okay?"

As Shuichi Akai's guardian during this period, Toru Amuro still has a say in this aspect.

But at this time, Amuro frowned slightly and hesitated: "Actually, something happened..."

"Situation?" Qin Zhibo was surprised, "What's wrong?"

Toru Amuro glanced around, "Let's talk about it first..."

"What?!"

"Akai Shuichi disappeared?"

In the living room, Qin Zhibo was startled by the "things" Toru Amuro said.

Toru Amuro sat on the chair opposite and restored what happened.

It turned out that during the day today, Toru Amuro went to work in a nearby restaurant as usual, leaving Shuichi Akai to look after the house alone.

As a result, when I came back from get off work in the evening, I found that Shuichi Akai was missing.

Judging from the various traces in the room, Akai Shuichi was not kidnapped, but left on his own initiative.

We also collected a lot of various daily necessities and took away a sum of money.

"I have sent people to look for it, but so far there is no news..."

As Toru Amuro spoke, he crossed his thumbs and rubbed them, which showed his inner uneasiness.

This matter is very important to him.

Because if Shuichi Akai, who is wandering around, is caught by someone related to the organization and interrogated, he will definitely learn about his relationship with him.

Therefore, he is now anxiously waiting for news from Kazami Yuya.

But before the news came over there, Qin Zhibo and Mary came first.

Qin Zhibo figured out the current situation, thought for a moment, and asked, "Did he say where he was going before?"

Toru Amuro shook his head, "He rarely spoke to me during this period, and the various actions he made had no apparent purpose."

"So this time he suddenly left here, I don't know where he will go..."

"But I guess it's possible that his memory suddenly recovered, so he left?"

When Qin Zhibo heard this, he immediately recalled what Koizumi Hongzi said after resurrecting Shuichi Akai.

She believes that there is a price to pay for human resurrection, and that price is memory.

But Cheng Shi believes from a medical point of view that as long as people who have lost their memory are not completely idiots, it is possible to recover their memory if they receive some stimulation.

Because of this, Qin Zhibo brought Mary here from London.

But Mary just came back and Shuichi Akai ran away again?

"Please wait a moment..."

Qin Zhibo stood up and walked to the window, put the magic extractor on his hand, then closed his eyes and recalled Akai Shuichi's appearance.

But after waiting for more than ten seconds, there was still no response.

Even the face of Subaru Okiya didn't react at all to the Searching Object Curse.

This shows that Shuichi Akai is still hiding his appearance.
