The Grammatical Investigator in Conan

Hot summer day, Izu Beach.

On the seawall, Qin Zhibo put his brown windbreaker on his right hand and wiped the sweat from his forehead with his left hand, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

This is really a duet of ice and fire.

The day before yesterday we stayed in the extremely cold snowy mountains, and today we were on the beach under the scorching sun.

Qin Zhibo doesn't know much about Japan.

Is it reasonable for this country to have both winter and summer?

It really feels a bit like "you live in the south on a sunny day like spring all year round, and I live in the north on a cold night with heavy snowfall".

Eh?

Is that what the lyrics say?

Qin Zhibo's sight gradually zoomed out, looking from the men and women wearing cool clothes on the beach to the vast expanse of blue sea.

Zoom out to where the sea and the sky meet.

Looking at the sea can make people feel relaxed and happy.

Come and take a look at the sea occasionally

Well--

The contents of Qin Zhibo's stomach suddenly surged upward, and a strong and uncomfortable contraction came from his throat.

Qin Zhibo covered his mouth and ran to the grass on the side of the road. He lowered his head and vomited into the grass several times. The pain in his chest gradually relieved.

Looking at the sea can make people vomit?

Qin Zhibo, who had just arrived at the hotel lobby of the Izu Princess Hotel, was about to check in at the hotel front desk when he saw the familiar Kogoro Mori bending over and yelling at Conan, who was less than knee-high.

"You brat! You only paid half of the hotel price?"

"If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have come. Now I would have suffered a huge loss!"

In the hotel, Mouri Kogoro, who originally wanted to take advantage of the free trip, became so animalistic that he yelled at Conan who was living and eating for nothing.

This made Mao Lilan next to him feel embarrassed, and he quickly stepped forward and said, "Okay, Dad, we can just pay the other half ourselves."

"But I didn't bring that much money."

Just when Maori Kogoro was cash-strapped and might cancel his travel plan at any time, Qin Zhibo hurriedly stepped forward to rescue him.

"It's okay, I still have some money here, which should be enough to advance your travel expenses."

"Mr. Qin!"

Mao Lilan looked at Qin Zhibo in surprise and bowed politely.

The father-in-law and son-in-law duo next to him were not so happy about Qin Zhibo's arrival, but due to Mao Lilan's "kind" expression, Maori Kogoro reluctantly thanked Qin Zhibo.

"Cough, cough, um - thanks"

"You're welcome, just remember to return it to me when you return to Tokyo." Qin Zhibo replied with a smile.

Conan next to him looked Qin Zhibo up and down, a little surprised that even though Qin Zhibo came to such a resort, he still wore the same old school clothes as always.

This is the same as Uncle Maori.

At this moment, a faint voice came from behind Qin Zhibo.

"Are you the Night Baron?"

"Um?"

Qin Zhibo looked back and saw a man with a slender face and a magnetic voice pressing the enter key on his laptop.

When the Enter key is pressed, the number above stops exactly at 1.00.

"1 second response time"

"So far, you are the fastest in answering my questions."

"I will make a good reference."

Next, the man began to introduce himself.

"I am Shiro Konno who lives in room 2002. I will get to know you gradually over the next three days and two nights."

In fact, before the man could introduce him, Qin Zhibo had already seen his name from the message hanging above his head.

Shiro Imano, 28 years old, bank clerk, social credit 1,300.

And since the man in front of him mentioned three days and two nights, and also asked about the game goal of the Izu Detective Team: to find the organizer, the Duke of Dark Night.

Then this person should be a member of the Izu Detective Team.

In this case

"Actually, I came to participate in this event on behalf of someone. I think that other than the organizer, other participants of the event should have no reason to know the information I came to replace."

"But you appeared directly behind me and asked me relevant questions, couldn't you?"

"Are you the Duke of Dark Night?"

Qin Zhibo's simple reasoning shocked the bank man. His dark face, which had just shown his high IQ and tormented passers-by, instantly collapsed and he shook his head in denial.

"what are you saying?"

"I'm not! I didn't"

"I'm not"

While the bank man was explaining in a panic, a low laugh came from the long-haired and bearded man on a nearby round table.

"Hey hey hey——"

"I didn't expect the answer to come out so quickly. It's really simple."

Before the man could finish his words, a charming long-haired lady came from the east side of the lobby.

"The organizer is actually the one who led everyone into the game from the beginning?"

"This routine is somewhat routine."

After the long-haired sister finished speaking, another art museum director came from the west side of the lobby, wearing sunglasses and leaning on a crutch. He was an old man with sunglasses and a crutch, followed by a fat maid with a fierce look on his face.

"Oh? I heard that the 'Duke of the Night' has been discovered?"

"Is that so? Shizue?"

The fat maid next to her replied in a deep voice: "It looks like this, sir."

For a moment, the bank man looked in surprise at the other game participants who appeared from all directions just after he was suspected of being the Duke of the Night.

It turned out that these people did not leave after checking in at the hotel. They had been hiding nearby and observing quietly.

Only he was exposed to everyone's view, doing the most suspicious actions.

I'm the clown myself?

"Mr. Ehara in room 2101, Ms. Kamijou in room 2102, Mr. Kaneshiro and Ms. Lin in room 2001."

"The Duke of Dark Night is definitely not me! Don't talk nonsense!"

"Be careful if I sue you for libel!"

"You are slandering me!"

After saying that, the bank man picked up his computer and turned to leave, but accidentally bumped into a young man who had just come to check in.

Seeing this person, Mao Lilan immediately showed an expression like a little girl.

"Are you Mr. Satoshi Maeda?"

"yes."

"As expected! I started learning karate just because I admire you!"

Mao Lilan asked questions like a little fangirl, which made Satoshi Maeda's fiancée next to her, a short-haired girl named Akiko Sayama, look jealous and dissatisfied.

Qin Zhibo, who was standing not far away, silently counted the characters who appeared one after another as if they were the opening ceremony of a drama.

Including himself, there are 11 people in total, which is exactly the number of people in the Izu Detective Team mentioned by the administrator.

At this time, the long-haired sister named Kamijou Hideko walked up to Qin Zhibo and the Mori family and asked: "But it's strange. I remember that you should have two doctors and a little girl in elementary school. , and a professional copywriter?”

Mao Lilan explained incredulously: "Because they had no way to come, so they came instead to us."

But Qin Zhibo heard some clues from Kamijou's words.

If the two doctors and the little girl were replaced by the Maori family, then what he would be replaced by

Professional copywriter?
