The Grammatical Investigator in Conan

Previously, during the ceremony at Stonehenge in the UK, Ran Maori had beaten Kudo Shinichi up under the control of magic.

Later, Ran Maori fainted, and when she woke up, she forgot about it.

In order to prevent Ran Maori from feeling guilty, the Kudo couple told Ran Maori that Kudo Shinichi's injuries were caused by the kidnappers.

In this way, although Ran Maori still felt guilty because Kudo Shinichi was injured to save her, the guilt was somewhat alleviated.

Moreover, the existence of magic was not easy to reveal to Ran Maori, who had a weak will.

But Conan did not expect that a karate match would actually arouse Ran Maori's memories of that painful experience.

"Xiaolan, what are you talking about?"

"What do you mean you hit me? How could you hit me?"

"That's not the case at all..."

Seeing that his future sister-in-law was crying, Kuroba Kaito quickly comforted her as Kudo Shinichi.

Conan next to him also echoed: "Yeah, how could Xiaolan hit Shinichi?"

"If Xiaolan had taken action, Shinichi would have been hospitalized, wouldn't he?"

"Look, Shinichi is still fine now!"

In fact, Mao Lilan had beaten Kudo Shinichi badly before, but thanks to the fact that her body became smaller, her injuries would heal to a great extent, so she was able to be discharged from the hospital in such a short time.

Before, Haibara Ai was injured after she became bigger in the Haido Hotel, and she recovered not long after.

But facing the comfort of the big and small in front of her, Mao Lilan still shook her head.

"Impossible! I remember it all!"

"I don't know why I hit you, Shinichi..."

"But that feeling..."

"It hurts so much..."

Mauri Ran's pitiful face was covered with tears, and her words were full of tears, which made Conan feel distressed.

He wanted to comfort Xiaolan that it was not Xiaolan's fault, but in front of so many people, he couldn't say it.

But at this time, Kuroba Kaito looked into Ran Maori's eyes and said affectionately: "No, I should be the one who said it hurts..."

"Letting the girl you like feel pain is much more painful than the pain you endure physically."

When these words came out, everyone present was stunned for a moment.

Because Kuroba Kaito mentioned a word, that is, "the person you like."

Isn't this equivalent to an indirect confession?

The thoughts in Ran Maori's mind also came to a halt for a while. She sat on the ground in a daze, looking at the familiar face in front of her, not knowing what to say.

Only the gradually red face seemed to explain something.

Just then, a figure appeared behind everyone.

"Excuse me, did I miss anything?"

Conan, Kuroba Kaito and others looked back and saw a man in a brown windbreaker standing on the mat not far away.

Qin Zhibo finally arrived.

He came to pick up Kuroba Kaito's retreat as agreed, but he didn't expect to see everyone surrounding Ran Maori as soon as he came here.

The game is over, did Ran Maori win?

But looking at Ran Mao Li's tearful face, it's not quite like that.

"What happened?"

"Ah... that..."

Kuroba Kaito was about to explain the situation when Ran Mao Li grabbed his hand.

Kuroba Kaito turned around and saw that Ran Mao Li's face was flushed, and she was so shy that she didn't even dare to raise her head.

Seeing this, Kuroba Kaito also understood that this meant that she had been coaxed.

When it comes to coaxing women, the men of the Kuroba family have always been good at it. They are like arsonists in the hearts of women, and they only care about lighting the fire and not extinguishing it.

Since she has been coaxed, it's time for him to retire.

Kuroba Kaito turned to Qin Zhibo and asked, "Uncle, do you have something to ask me?"

"Yes, there is an urgent commission that requires you to go over."

"Then let's go."

Before leaving, Kuroba Kaito squatted down again and whispered in Mao Li Ran's ear, "See you on the school trip..."

He deliberately tilted his head to reveal a little of his voice so that Conan next to him could also hear it.

When he stood up, he gave Conan a meaningful look,

Then I'll leave it to you...

Then, Kuroba Kaito followed Qin Zhibo out of the venue.

Leaving behind Conan with a confused face and Mao Li Ran who was still immersed in the sweet confession.

Conan looked at Mao Li Ran, although it was temporarily covered by "his" confession, but there was still some pain in his eyes.

But just like the reason why his body became smaller, he couldn't tell Mao Li Ran about what happened on the day of Stonehenge in full.

I'm sorry, Xiaolan...

When all this is over, I will double compensate you.

Conan's eyes were calm and firm, and he secretly made a promise to his beloved in his heart.

At this time, Suzuki Sonoko, who felt that the atmosphere was a little stiff for a while, said: "By the way, a cruise ship called 'Aphrodite' is going to have its maiden voyage recently, and my parents are invited to participate..."

"But my parents can't go because of something. Anyway, it's a free quota, so it's a waste not to go, so let's all participate together!"

Hearing this, Kisaki Eri politely replied: "I know that cruise ship, but I just happened to have a case to go to court in those days, so I couldn't get away."

"Husband, take Xiaolan to play for a few days, and relax..."

Hsing Eri's palm gently stroked Maori Kogoro's shoulder, and the intimate "husband" surprised Maori Kogoro.

"Oh..."

"Xiaolan, I have something else to do, so I'll leave first. Tell mom if you have anything."

Ran Mao Li nodded obediently, "Well, mom, you go and get busy."

Looking at Ran Mao Li who had recovered under the power of love, Eri Kisaki left with peace of mind.

…

Outside the gymnasium.

A striking red convertible sports car was parked in the parking lot, with Qin Zhibo and Kuroba Kaito sitting inside.

After Kuroba Kaito's brief description, Qin Zhibo roughly understood what had happened in the stadium just now.

When Mao Li Ran woke up before, it was inconvenient for her to come forward, so the explanation work was done by the Kudo couple.

At the beginning, Mao Li Ran was conscious and her body was controlled to attack Kudo Shinichi. Logically, this memory would not disappear.

However, the reason why it disappeared may be that the brain chose to forget the memory that was too painful out of self-protection mechanism.

But this karate competition, by chance, reminded her of that painful experience.

"But you kid took the opportunity to pick up a girl again, don't forget that she is your future sister-in-law..."

Qin Zhibo jokingly threw Kuroba Kaito a sentence.

Kuroba Kaito was not to be outdone, saying, "I did a big favor to that Kudo guy, and I also made an appointment for him to meet next time."

"He should thank me!"

As the two were talking, a beautiful and capable female figure walked out of the gymnasium exit.

Qin Zhibo looked closely and found that it was the woman he had just seen.

Although he had only heard of her before but had never seen her, Qin Zhibo guessed that she was Mao Lilan's mother.

I heard that she was a famous lawyer, known as the "undefeated queen of the legal world"...

Qin Zhibo glanced at the basic information above Kisaki Eri's head, and her social credit was as high as 9400.

The lawyer industry does not have the attribute of public publicity. To achieve this social credit is already close to the pinnacle of the lawyer industry.

"She's coming, lower your head quickly!"

Kuroba Kaito reminded Qin Zhibo and him to lower their heads and hide below.

Kisaki Eri walked over from the passage a few meters away, not paying attention to this side, walked straight over, and then got in her BMW Mini and left.

After Hibiki Eri left, Qin Zhibo also drove Kuroba Kaito back to Jianggutian Town.

On the way back, Qin Zhibo chatted with him about the Kuroba couple in the United States.

At this moment, Kuroba Toichi and Kuroba Chikage have arrived in Innsmouth, the United States.

However, to be on the safe side, they stayed in Boston at night and went to Innsmouth for investigation during the day.

Since the outbreak of the "wandering planet" incident, the local residents in that place seem to have fallen into a state of frenzy.

A large number of believers took to the streets, claiming that Cthulhu will return in the near future, and they will grab strangers and promote their "father".

Although the municipal government has strengthened management, it has little effect.

In order to obtain intelligence, Kuroba Toichi disguised himself as another believer and mixed into the local secret cult, and has already inquired about some new situations.

The Great Cthulhu has a daughter named Ksira.

Ksira is crucial to the revival of Cthulhu.

Many years ago, Ksira lived in the Devil's Reef not far from the mouth of the Manuset River, under the protection of the father god Dagon and the mother goddess Hydra.

But somehow, Ksira suddenly disappeared one day.

However, believers believe that Ksira still exists somewhere in the world, accumulating strength for the revival of the great Cthulhu.

Kuroba Kaito only has a partial understanding of these clues.

But Qin Zhibo has been to Innsmouth in person, so he knows what the clues that Kuroba Daoyi said mean.

Innsmouth is a port city, and the Manuset River is the river that flows through Innsmouth.

Qin Zhibo once dived deep at the mouth of Innsmouth and discovered an underwater city made of reefs.

That city has now become a ruin.

And in the middle of the ruins, there is an unexploded Mark 6 atomic bomb.

If we connect it with the Devil's Reef mentioned by Kuroba Daoyi, it is estimated that the underwater city is the place where Ksira once lived as the believers said.

There are atomic bombs left inside, and the city has become a ruin, indicating that someone has attacked there.

This is probably the direct reason why Ksira and the Deep Diver abandoned the city.

As for who did it and why? That is unknown...

However, even the atomic bomb can be used, this arrogant strength is definitely not an ordinary person.

Could it be the US authorities?

Qin Zhibo wrote this down and planned to contact the people of Green Delta after returning to see if he could find some clues.

After all, the members of Green Delta are employees of various US authorities, and they have a natural advantage in obtaining information in this regard.

…

Just after sending Kuroba Kaito back to his home in Jianggutian Town, Qin Zhibo received another call from Cheng Shi.

Cheng Shi was very excited on the phone.

It turned out that the maiden voyage tickets of the "Aphrodite" had been decided, and both tickets were approved.

Since it was the first maiden voyage, each ticket sold to the public not only had to be purchased with money, but also had to be verified for personal identity to ensure the high-end social circle on the ship.

It is said that the former Prime Minister of Japan and the chairman of the Eighth Generation Foundation will appear on the ship.

Qin Zhibo is a famous detective, and Cheng Shi is a doctor with the highest professional status in Japan. It is normal for him to be qualified for the ship ticket.

However, Cheng Shi was very excited and insisted on inviting Qin Zhibo to his house to celebrate in the evening.

Qin Zhibo did not refuse.

When he arrived at Chengshi Hospital in the afternoon, Chengshi had just sent away the last patient.

Qin Zhibo saw that it was getting late, and Chengshi still had to spend time cooking, so he simply went out to eat with him.

"Then wait for me to change clothes..."

"Right away, very quickly!"

Chengshi ran to the residential area behind the hospital to change clothes.

When he came out again, he had changed from a white coat to a fresh casual outfit.

White eight-point skinny pants with a light blue shirt top, and a ponytail with long hair draped over his slender shoulders.

This dressing style is very different from his previous style.

When he was on Yueying Island, Chengshi usually wore black clothes, and occasionally other colors were all dark colors.

The only light-colored clothes were the white coats he wore when working.

People often say that the color of the clothes you choose often corresponds to a person's mood and state of mind.

"I feel that you seem to be different from before..."

What Qin Zhibo said was not simply a difference in perception, but a spiritual change from the inside out.

Although Cheng Shi smiled at everyone he met on Yueying Island, if you observe carefully, you can detect a hint of sadness and sorrow hidden under that cheerful mask.

However, Cheng Shi now will no longer show such a heavy look even when facing the most difficult patients.

Perhaps because he has seen the heaviest part of life, the difficulties he faces next have become "easy mode".

"Really?"

Cheng Shi gently lifted the hair on one side of his forehead behind his ear, rolled up his sleeves to reveal his white wrist and the watch Qin Zhibo gave him.

The corners of his mouth rose, revealing a few white and neat teeth.

"Because I am very happy every day now~"

"As happy as a dream!"

...

Two days later, the Aphrodite was ready to set sail at the Yokohama Pier.

Before officially boarding the ship, several celebrities, led by the owner of the cruise ship, the chairman of the Eighth Generation Foundation, held a ribbon-cutting ceremony on a temporary stage at the pier.

Qin Zhibo looked around and saw that in addition to the eighth-generation chairman of the consortium and his daughter who was being trained as his successor, there were also the former Japanese prime minister and his wife, and two popular singers and artists, a total of six people.

Qin Zhibo and Cheng Shi were standing below, watching the ribbon-cutting ceremony on the stage, but heard a guest next to them complain.

"For such a high-end cruise ship ribbon-cutting ceremony, what's the matter with inviting two singers to cut the ribbon? It's as if we are not as good as those two singers..."

The person who was traveling with him explained in a low voice: "I heard that the first invitation was to invite the Suzuki Chairman and his wife of the Suzuki Group to cut the ribbon, but Chairman Suzuki suddenly had something to do and couldn't come, so the two people who came up temporarily..."

Qin Zhibo couldn't help but feel a chill on his back when he heard the words "Suzuki Group".

Why do I have a bad feeling in my heart?
