The Grammatical Investigator in Conan

After leaving the doctor's house, Qin Zhibo dialed Miwako Sato's phone number.

After the case of Tomonori Kinoshita, the two parties exchanged phone calls.

Sato, who was working on the other side, was a little surprised when he saw the call from Qin Zhibo.

Although the two have each other's phone numbers, Qin Zhibo always calls Mu Mu directly when it comes to ordinary cases.

Moreover, we had just met at the search meeting in the morning. Could anything suddenly happen now?

She picked up the phone and asked doubtfully: "Mr. Qin, what can I do?"

"Is there anyone else with you now?" Qin Zhibo asked.

Sato heard Qin Zhibo's serious tone and guessed that he might be saying something that was not convenient for others to hear.

She glanced at Takagi Wataru who was sorting out case materials not far away, then turned and walked to a slightly further corner.

"There's no one here now. If you have anything to say, please tell me."

Seeing that Sato understood quickly, Qin Zhibo was quite satisfied.

Among the grassroots police officers that she often comes into contact with in the Metropolitan Police Department, Sato Miwako is considered to be the shrewd one.

"I have something to discuss with you regarding the case at today's search conference."

"Can we meet downstairs at my office at 9:00 tonight, okay?"

Sato hesitated for a moment and answered in a deep voice.

"Can."

"See you tonight."

After hanging up the phone, Miwako Sato fell into deep thought.

Do you want to discuss that serial murder case with me alone?

Has he already found clues to this case?

But why didn't you say it at the search meeting just now?

Although she was a little confused about Qin Zhibo's approach, she decided to go to the appointment in order to solve the case.

…

At 9:00 that night, Miwako Sato arrived for the appointment on time.

The red RX-7 was parked downstairs of the Zhibo Detective Agency, parked together with the also red Mustang convertible, which looked quite harmonious.

Miwako Sato looked up at the three-story office building and saw that although the blinds had been drawn on the windows on the second floor, there was still light inside, so she went directly to the second floor and knocked on the door.

Du, du.

After a few seconds, the door opened.

"Hello, Officer Sato."

"Welcome to my detective agency."

Qin Zhibo took the initiative to extend his right hand as he spoke.

Sato was startled by this sudden sense of formality, and could only stretch out his right hand.

"Hello……"

The two held hands together, and Qin Zhibo immediately began to investigate.

【Survey√】

Name: Miwako Sato

Gender: Female

Age: 28

…

After confirming that the basic information was correct, Qin Zhibo let the person in.

"Please take a seat."

"Let me get you a glass of water."

Qin Zhibo walked to the water dispenser, took a cup of the most ordinary plain water in a disposable paper cup, and delivered it to Sato.

"Thanks."

Sato took the water glass and immediately showed a serious expression.

"Mr. Qin, if you have anything to say, just tell me..."

"Did you find any clues about that serial murder case?"

Qin Zhibo was sitting on the sofa opposite. He didn't talk about the case immediately, but asked Sato instead.

"Officer Sato, do you remember what I told you before that there might be a mole in the Metropolitan Police Department?"

Hearing this topic, Sato's eyes changed slightly and became more solemn.

"Remember, last time you said there was a mole, it was because someone in the Metropolitan Police Department might have leaked the itinerary of Kinoshita Tomonori being escorted to Gunma County, right?"

"Then I did some research following what you said, but although not many people know directly about the escort plan, the escort arrangements involving major prisoners will be reported to the above and stored in the database."

"So as long as they are willing to investigate, in theory, most police officers in the Metropolitan Police Department can find out on their own."

Although Qin Zhibo only proposed an "imagination" at the time, Sato did conduct serious investigation afterwards.

However, the Metropolitan Police Department is the largest organization among the Japanese police, and its personnel composition is quite complex, including grassroots police, criminal police, public security police, etc.

With Sato's level, if a person wants to investigate, he can only go so far.

"Well...you've done a good job."

Qin Zhibo groaned, then changed the subject, "What I want to say is that the mole might also be eyeing this case."

"This case...is it a serial murder case?" Sato confirmed.

Qin Zhibo nodded slightly, "At present, this mole should always be aware of the progress of the police investigation, so I cannot express my reasoning at the daytime search meeting..."

"But according to my speculation, there may be a key turning point in this case soon."

"Within these two days, someone who claims to be an insider in the case may contact the police. If this happens, I would like to ask Officer Sato to inform me as soon as possible."

Upon hearing Qin Zhibo's request, Sato's expression froze and he was thinking in his mind.

Qin Zhibo didn't say anything during the day, and he didn't even refute Mouri Kogoro's reasoning. Sato actually felt a little strange.

At that time, she didn't really agree with Mouri Kogoro's reasoning that the victim and the murderer were "Mayu". This was really child's play.

However, due to Mouri Kogoro's sometimes "too wise and foolish" behavior, she couldn't say anything.

But every case that Qin Zhibo participated in did not have the kind of ups and downs that started outrageously and became a god in the later period. He could always make correct inferences.

This time, Qin Zhibo chose to remain silent.

It turned out that he was an undercover in the Embankment Police Department...

"Mr. Qin, do you mean that the inner ghost was also mixed in the search meeting during the day?"

"Almost."

"I want to know what the basis for your saying this is?"

"Sorry, I can't tell you the basis yet..."

Facing Sato, whose eyes changed slightly, Qin Zhibo still replied with a serious expression: "The issues involved are very complicated, but I believe you will know in the near future."

"The inner ghost should be in the police search meeting, and he disguised himself as someone you are familiar with."

"This also means that someone you are familiar with should have been kidnapped. If you want to rescue this person, you must do what I say..."

Originally, Sato wanted to refuse when she heard Qin Zhibo's initial answer.

Although she also wanted to trust Qin Zhibo, she couldn't doubt her colleagues without evidence.

But when she heard that someone around her might have been kidnapped, she still felt compassion.

If a colleague died because of her non-cooperation, she would definitely regret it for the rest of her life.

And she also wanted to know the truth of the whole thing, and only by following the path provided by Qin Zhibo could she know the truth.

"Okay... I promise you."

"But you have to tell me the part you have deduced so far about this case."

"This small request should satisfy me, right?"

Sato's mouth corners slightly raised, and his eyes were full of confidence.

If the chosen partner is Takagi Shigeru, Qin Zhibo really has to consider whether that big mouth will leak the news.

But Sato is Sato after all, and is still much more reliable than Takagi Shigeru.

"Okay."

"But you have to make sure that these deductions are not told to anyone."

"Including Officer Takagi..."

...

Metropolitan Police Department, a high-level office.

A figure sat at the desk, facing the population search system dedicated to the Metropolitan Police Department, and entered the name "Edogawa Conan".

When the name was entered, the screen stayed on the interface waiting for a response for a moment, and then a large page popped up.

Edogawa Conan, male, 7 years old.

School Teitan Elementary School, address Beihua-cho 2-chome 22, temporary residence Beihua-cho 5-chome 39.

Father: Edogawa Ryosaku

Mother: Edogawa Fumiyo

…

A series of basic information about Edogawa Conan was reflected in the dark pupils.

In addition to these basic information that everyone has, there are various case names below, all of which involve the name "Edogawa Conan".

This part alone has as many as hundreds of items.

The figure sitting in front of the computer had his pupils widened, and a trace of shock flashed in his eyes.

He scrolled down and continued to search for entry and exit records.

Edogawa Conan - no entry and exit records.

Then, he deleted "Edogawa Conan" in the search box and changed it to "Kudo Shinichi".

There are many people named "Kudo Shinichi" in the country, but it is not difficult to find that person.

Kudo Shinichi, male, 17 years old.

School: Teitan High School, address: 2-chome-21, Beika-cho.

Father: Kudo Yusaku

Mother: Kudo Yukiko

…

There are also about a hundred entries for cases under this name.

Checking the entry and exit records again, a string of related entry and exit records popped up.

He started going abroad at the age of 7, and the most frequent trips were to Hawaii, USA.

The most recent trip was to London, England some time ago.

And in the entry records, it also shows that "Kudo Shinichi" has returned to Japan.

Seeing this line of information, Ireland's mouth corners rose, revealing a hideous smile.

He took out his phone and dialed a number.

"Mr. Rum, I found a situation that you may be interested in..."

"Speak."

The voice on the other end of the phone was a voice changer, and the low and hoarse voice made it impossible to distinguish.

"It's the high school detective Shinichi Kudo who was killed by Gin with that drug before. He is very likely still alive."

There was silence on the other end of the phone for a moment, "Go on..."

"I searched the entry and exit information of 'Shinichi Kudo' in the population search system inside the Metropolitan Police Department and found that he had been to London not long ago."

"And the people around this 'Shinichi Kudo' also said that they had seen him in London."

"So I think it must be Gin's mistake that caused Shinichi Kudo to be alive until now..."

There was another two seconds of silence, and the person on the other end of the phone suddenly spoke.

"Are you the only one who knows about this?"

"Yes."

"Well, don't tell this to anyone else, including 'that adult'."

Hearing this request, Ireland's expression was stunned.

The reason why he told the second-in-command Rum was because he wanted Rum to report to the upper level and make Gin completely wiped out in the heart of "that adult".

Although Gin is dead now, Ireland is very willing to do even this insignificant revenge.

This was also to avenge Gin for killing Pisco, who was like his father, in the Haido Hotel.

But unexpectedly, Rum asked him to hide this matter.

"Then Kudo Shinichi..."

"None of your business."

Rum's voice suddenly became short, and even though it was through the voice changer, one could still hear the severity.

Ireland quickly shut up and didn't dare to speak again.

"Continue to perform your mission, and don't interfere in this matter anymore."

"Yes, Lord Rum."

After the phone call ended, Ireland frowned slightly.

Revenge on Gin has always been his long-cherished wish.

But from what Rum meant, it seemed that he wanted to suppress this matter.

Could it be that Gin was Rum's man?

Impossible...

Ireland shook his head lightly. Everyone in the organization knew that Gin was a loyal henchman of "that Lord" and one of the few organizational cadres who could directly contact "that Lord".

Therefore, only by thoroughly revealing this matter to the organization boss could Gin's reputation be completely destroyed.

Not only that, as long as he found out the whereabouts of Kudo Shinichi and helped the organization deal with this person, his rank would also be promoted.

There is no better revenge than using the enemy's mistakes as a stepping stone.

In this case, of course I can't listen to Rum.

I must continue the investigation!

...

A day later, the police held another search meeting.

"Eh? Don't play mahjong?"

"Yes."

Shiratori held the investigation report in her hand, "According to the results of the interview, the six victims so far don't usually play mahjong..."

Hearing this result, Maori Kogoro was visibly disappointed.

Most of the police officers present were mentally prepared for this situation, and did not show too much emotional fluctuations at this moment.

Sato glanced at his colleagues who were gathered in a circle, and a trace of scrutiny flashed in his eyes.

Compared with yesterday, today's search meeting had much fewer participants, only 12 people, including police officers from the Metropolitan Police Department and police representatives from other places.

As for the special advisor, Maori Kogoro was the only one who attended.

Because Qin Zhibo said the day before yesterday that since he could not provide any reasoning even if he attended the meeting, it would be better not to attend in order not to arouse suspicion.

The traitor should be among them...

After a brief discussion, the police representative of Nagano Prefecture, Yamato Gansuke, went to the side with his crutches to answer a phone call, and came back and said.

"There is good news..."

"The male suspect of the serial murder case may appear in Beihua City."

"What?!"

Hearing this, Megure screamed and stood up.

Yamato Gansuke took out a photo from his arms and pushed it to the table.

"His name is Fukase Minoru, 27 years old. Jinno Shuhei, who was killed in Usui Ridge, was seriously injured by him with a knife a year ago. He is currently wanted."

"I sent my subordinates to monitor his girlfriend before. I just learned that his girlfriend came to Tokyo from Nagano and got off at Beihua Station..."

"This woman is called Yoshii Risa, 21 years old, and is a hostess in a small bar in Nagano."

"I suspect that the purpose of Yoshii Risa's visit to Tokyo this time is to meet Fukase Minoru."

Yamato Gansuke also showed the woman's photo.

Manager Matsumoto took the photo and looked at it, then looked up and asked, "What was the motive of this man named Fukase to stab Jinno?"

"It is said that when he was queuing at Tropical Paradise, Jinno asked him to put out his cigarette and he felt resentful..."

Hearing this, Takagi, who was standing at the back, had his eyes light up and an idea flashed in his mind.

"Tropical Paradise..."

"Could it be!"
