The Grammatical Investigator in Conan

Conan ran out of the library and headed straight for the breeding hut outside the teaching building.

Here, the three little ones plus Ai Huihara were still cleaning the rabbit cage. Mitsuhiko and Genta went in to sweep the rabbit feces, while Ai Huihara and Ayumi watched the rabbits outside to prevent them from running around.

"Why are you back?"

Seeing Conan running back alone, Ai Huihara was a little surprised.

The black rabbit at her feet almost took the opportunity to slip away, but fortunately Ayumi was quick to grab the rabbit.

Conan leaned on his knees and took two deep breaths, then stood up and walked straight to the front of the rabbit cage.

"Mitsuhiko, Genta, did you find anything when you were cleaning?"

"Things?"

The two raised their heads and looked at Conan at the door in confusion, "What is it? There is only rabbit feces here..."

Conan frowned immediately, realizing that such things could not be on the ground, otherwise they would have been picked up by someone over the years.

So he looked up at the ceiling of the breeding hut.

At this time, Ai Haibara walked to Conan nervously and whispered in his ear.

"Kudo, did you find it?"

"Hmm..."

Before Conan could finish his answer, his eyes were fixed on the corner of the ceiling of the breeding hut.

Because the breeding hut had been leaking badly, the school installed a layer of ceiling under the original ceiling.

And in the gap between the two layers of ceiling, you can see a protruding square box stuck there.

"Yuta, come and help!"

"Ah? Oh..."

Conan summoned the tool man Yuanta to the bottom of the square box, stepped on Yuanta's shoulders, and with the length of the broom, he pushed the square box down from the gap.

Bang.

The box fell to the ground, making a sound of metal hitting the ground.

"Wow! What is this?"

Mitsuhiko bent down to pick up the box, but Ai Haibara rushed to the front and hugged the box in her arms.

"Little Ai?"

Ai Haibara's abnormal positive attitude also surprised Ayumi, who had accepted the cold personality.

But Ai Huihara didn't care at all, and took the box in her arms and looked at it carefully.

Conan also climbed down from Genta at this time, put his hands in his pockets, and explained confidently: "This is the time capsule left by Akemi Miyano 13 years ago."

"Huh!"

The three little ones said in unison, looking at the box in surprise.

On the lid of the box, there was a paper with the words [This is the time capsule of the 19th graduates, please give it to the teacher if you find it].

Ai Huihara looked at the handwriting on it, although it was still a little immature, but she recognized it as her sister's handwriting at a glance.

The memories of the dead came to her mind, and Ai Huihara's hands trembled slightly, and her eyes couldn't stop sore.

Seeing this, Conan smiled slightly and held the box in his hands.

He opened the lid, and there was a thick stack of envelopes inside.

Under the baptism of time, the envelopes have turned yellow, and the children's names are written in crooked handwriting on them.

In order to take out Akemi Miyano's time capsule before the adults come back, Conan divides the envelope inside into four parts and asks the three children to help him find it.

"You just need to help find Akemi Miyano's envelope..."

"Akemi Miyano?"

"No problem, leave it to me!"

The three children took their own stacks of envelopes and began to search one by one.

Including Conan, each person only needs to check less than 10 envelopes.

And Haibara Ai stood beside in a daze, her heart thumping.

Her mind is a little confused now, and she is both expecting and nervous.

Expecting is to have a conversation across time and space with her sister who is already separated by life and death.

Nervous, I don't know what my sister would say to me when she was a child.

What if my sister has some expectations for me, and what I have done over the years does not respond to her expectations?

After all, my sister is such a kind person...

And I am just an executioner who studies murderous poisons.

Thinking of this, Huihara Ai couldn't help but lower her head, holding the hem of her tweed coat tightly with both hands.

At this time, Conan, who was squatting on the ground, suddenly spoke.

"It's okay..."

"Don't be nervous, believe me, she won't blame you."

Huihara Ai was stunned and looked at Conan who was still checking the envelope.

The latter didn't even look at her, but casually revealed her inner entanglement.

Although it was a casual comfort, Huihara Ai felt a warm current in her heart.

The nervous little hands gradually loosened the hem.

At this time, Mitsuhiko, one of the three little ones, took the lead in checking the envelope he was assigned.

"I checked it, there's nothing..."

"Me too, I didn't see the envelope signed by 'Miyano Akemi'."

"Me too..."

The three looked at each other, and then looked at Conan.

And Conan also stared at them in surprise.

Because he had already checked the envelopes on his side, he checked them several times because he was afraid of missing something.

In the end, there was no letter from Miyano Akemi inside.

"Did you really check it carefully? Did you miss anything?"

"Or did you make a mistake?"

Conan asked hurriedly.

The three little ones looked a little dissatisfied, "Of course, if you don't believe me, come and see."

Conan reached out to take the envelopes from the three people and counted them again.

But even if he counted them himself, and with Ai Huihara next to him staring, he still didn't find the envelope signed by "Miyano Akemi".

Conan put the envelope aside and rechecked the box, but there was nothing missing.

All the envelopes from that year are here.

But only Miyano Akemi's was missing.

"how so……"

Conan stared at the box and envelope in shock.

From the oral descriptions given by the trio of graduates, Miyano Akemi must have left her own time capsule and words to her sister Miyano Shiho.

But why...

At this moment, several figures walked out from the door of the teaching building. They were the trio of graduates, Kobayashi and Rumi Wakasa.

Conan immediately retracted his thoughts, put the envelope into the box, and let Haibara Ai keep it temporarily.

At this time, Haiyuan Ai's expression was already a little dazed, and he mechanically took the box with both hands.

Conan also understood the loss and gap in her heart.

But because of this, he had to rely on reasoning to make a quick decision and find Miyano Akemi's time capsule.

"If we can't find the time capsule, how about everyone recalling the contents?"

"Well, I have no choice but to do this..."

"But I'm a little embarrassed, after all, I'm telling so many people the messages I made when I was a child."

The trio of graduates walked to the breeding hut talking and laughing.

They came to express their gratitude to the young detective team who helped.

"Children, although I didn't find it, I still want to thank you for your help."

"Then you continue to clean up. We will go back to hold the class reunion first."

Murata Takumi smiled and waved goodbye, turned around to leave with Yanagi Machigaku and the doctor woman.

But Conan put his hands in his pockets, raised the corners of his mouth, and stood there with a confident look on his face.

"Can you just leave like this?"

"I don't even want the time capsule that holds important memories..."

After Conan finished speaking, the three graduates were stunned for a moment.

The three of them turned back at the same time and looked at Conan nervously, "Did you find the time capsule?!"

Conan smiled slightly and was noncommittal about this.

He turned his gaze to Yanagi Dingue and asked: "First of all, I want to ask, brother Yanagi Dingue, why do you keep hindering us from finding the time capsule?"

As soon as these words came out, Yanagimachi Yue's tiger body trembled, and his upper body subconsciously leaned back.

"W-where is it?"

"How am I hindering everyone?"

Two drops of nervous sweat ran down Yanagi Tingyue's cheeks, and he defended himself, "Didn't I unlock a lot of secret codes? How come it's an obstacle?"

However, Conan replied directly with a childlike expression: "You are obviously hindering everyone. After all, you have prepared so many wrong answers..."

As he spoke, he took out his mobile phone from his pocket and showed the photos in the album to everyone.

"The first is the third code, 'Don't draw.' Because the school prohibits drawing on the rooftop, you wrote ぐ on the doorknob leading to the rooftop."

"But the same ぐ is written under the edge of the art room table."

"There is also the secret code for the health room. Although some students lied about feeling unwell and went to the health room to sleep, so they found it under the bed."

"But there is also a し on the back of the height measuring machine, because some students will secretly tiptoe during the physical examination and cheat on their height, right?"

"There is also the painting with the first code. I was the one who checked the painting before. At that time, there was nothing written on the wall behind the painting."

"That is to say, Brother Yanagi Machi, you secretly left false answers wherever you could associate them with the code."

"In the first action, you guessed that one of us would guess a certain answer in the next round of action, and then secretly arranged everything."

"Am I right? Brother Yanagi Machi?"

Although Conan kept calling him "brother" sweeter than anyone else, his sharp eyes seemed to have seen through everything.

Yanagi Tingyue broke into cold sweat, and when he looked at the stunned eyes of his two old classmates, he finally couldn't bear the pressure.

"Yes, it's me..."

"Yanagicho? Why did you do this?" the doctor asked in disbelief.

Yanagi Dingue lowered his head and began to reveal.

"Sorry, it's because I'm too scared..."

"The fire in the music room 14 years ago was actually caused by me and the bad kids from the neighborhood sneaking into the school to play with fireworks."

"We were seen by Mingmei at that time, so I was very afraid that Mingmei would tell this matter..."

The expressions of Takumi Murata and the doctor woman became even more surprised.

The former stepped forward and asked: "Is this true? Yanagamachi?"

"Um……"

"On the day of the graduation ceremony, Mingmei came to me alone and asked me to muster up the courage. I guess she asked me to surrender to the police."

"I was so scared at the time that I didn't say anything."

"But I'm afraid Mingmei will write this in the time capsule and make it public."

"If a current firefighter is a former arsonist, it's not something that can be dismissed with a smile..."

As he spoke, Yanagi Dingue shed tears of regret.

The air was silent for a moment. Murata Takumi walked to Yanagimachi and put his palm on his shoulder.

"I understand you, so why don't I?"

"Actually, the painting in the principal's office that won the award was just because Mingmei didn't submit her better painting to the competition."

"I'm also worried about her writing this down in the time capsule..."

The doctor woman also stepped forward and said solemnly: "Me too."

"During the Chinese language test, I copied Mingmei who sat in front of me, and because of this, Mingmei was called to the office by the teacher."

"I am afraid of her too..."

Seeing that the three of them formed a victim alliance, as if Miyano Mingmei was a big devil who took advantage of the weaknesses of her classmates, Conan suddenly interrupted the three of them.

"How could she write these!"

"She is the most popular and most popular person in the class, how could she write such negative things in the message?"

Conan turned his eyes to Huiyuan Ai beside him and motioned her to take out the box.

As Huiyuan Ai took the box hidden in her clothes in front of her, the three graduates were stunned.

They recognized it at a glance. This was the box that collected the envelopes of everyone in the class.

"This is...!"

"Yes, this is the time capsule of your class."

Conan handed the box to the three people and said, "In fact, the code on the code paper comes from the keyboard that Akemi Miyano often encountered when she was a library committee member."

"As long as you rotate the computer keyboard 90° clockwise and write down the key positions required to type each code, you can get the content of the code."

"There are five codes in total, and the final result is しいくこや, which means the breeding hut."

Conan did not explain each sentence one by one, because the three people were looking for the box and didn't care about the solution of the code at all.

Only Teacher Kobayashi pounded his fist excitedly beside him, "So that's it!"

"This code is so cleverly designed that even I, a library committee member, didn't think of it!"

At this time, the three people thoroughly turned over the envelopes in the box, but still didn't find what they wanted to find.

"Strange, there doesn't seem to be Akemi's envelope in here?"

"Yes..."

Conan saw this and quickly joined in, this is what he wanted to know most.

"Brother Murata, did you really see Akemi Miyano put her envelope in there?"

Takumi Murata nodded, "Yes, everyone walked to the podium and put their envelopes in one by one, so there shouldn't be any omissions."

The female doctor added, "But the teacher only gave Akemi the job of hiding the time capsule."

Yanagaki Gaku raised his head, "Could it be that Akemi took her envelope out of there at that time?"

Takumi Murata held the box in one hand and his chin in the other, and murmured, "It's possible..."

Conan, who was standing low, stared at the facial expressions of the three people seriously, and couldn't tell which one of them was lying.

If, according to their guess, Akemi Miyano took her envelope out, it was also possible.

After all, Akemi Miyano was a member of the organization. In order not to implicate her elementary school classmates who met by chance, she could only try to cut off contact with everyone.

Maybe she returned to school and took her own envelope out of the box before deciding to leave the organization...

In Conan's mind, he could only think of this possibility.
