The Grammatical Investigator in Conan

Chapter 164 Matsumoto Ryohei’s Dinner Invitation

When the administrator asked this question, Qin Zhibo frowned slightly and hesitated for a moment.

[Qin: No]

The administrator also hesitated for a few seconds.

[Administrator: Then it’s okay]

[Administrator: Pay attention to safety]

After the conversation ended, Qin Zhibo immediately realized that he had made a huge mistake.

The administrator asked himself if he had encountered anyone wearing black clothes, and his answer was "no."

This is obviously problematic.

If you want to deny it, you should at least ask what kind of man in black he is.

Such a simple and clear denial showed that he had indeed met the man in black worth noting.

In response, Qin Zhibo could only slap his forehead and call him careless.

But on the other hand, since the administrator asked him about the man in black, it means that he guessed that the man in black might appear on this trip to Izu.

But I don't know if the "Uozuka Saburo" that the administrator guessed is the same person as the "Uotsuka Saburo" he met.

Moreover, Qin Zhibo thought about the last time he received this private commission from the administrator, the administrator said something meaningful.

Although the conversation records on the Nine Angels website have long been deleted, Qin Zhibo’s good memory still remembers that passage:

To give you a little advice, the Duke of Night is a character written by a mystery novelist that I admire very much, but his true identity has never been revealed in the book.

In other words, there might be a woman behind it.

——

When he heard this passage, Qin Zhibo didn't feel that it had any special meaning.

But now with the arrest of Akiko Sayama, the meaning seems to have become obvious.

The administrator has long known that Sayama Akiko is the Duke of the Night!

Remind yourself that the Duke of Dark Night is a woman. Maybe he wants you to stop Sayama Akiko's murder plan?

But since he already knew it, why didn't he just say it outright?

The Riddler Administrator

Not only that, but the administrator also knew that the Man in Black might appear on the trip to Izu.

Qin Zhibo's fingers tapped rhythmically on the desktop, chewing over and over in his mind this seemingly ordinary "offline meeting for computer enthusiasts."

In the end, Qin Zhibo came to the conclusion that

The administrator is the real "Duke of the Night" who knows everything about the Izu Detective Team this time.

There have been quite a few visitors to Zhibo Detective Agency these days.

First of all, the female star Akiko Kinoshita recovered from the hospital and came to thank her personally.

After saying some regular words of thanks, Akiko Kinoshita invited Qin Zhibo to have dinner with him at the Observation Restaurant of the Rice Flower Central Building this weekend night.

It’s hard not to be tempted by an invitation from a female star.

However.

"Sorry, I have other appointments that night, let's try another day."

After being rejected, Akiko Kinoshita's eyes instantly dropped, and a somewhat forced smile appeared on her face.

"Then I won't disturb you. Sorry, I'm leaving first."

Looking at Akiko Kinoshita's leaving back, Qin Zhibo's eyes were full of anticipation and reluctance.

I do have other appointments that day!

Why don't you insist on it?

Didn’t you hear me say another day?

Another day!

Akiko Kinoshita, who had no mind-reading skills, could not hear the cry in Qin Zhibo's heart and left without looking back.

In this way, because of his previous agreement with Matsumoto Ryohei, Qin Zhibo sadly lost the opportunity to have dinner with a female star at a couple restaurant, and was secretly photographed by the paparazzi, becoming the leading actor in the scandal.

In addition to Akiko Kinoshita's thanks, Yoko Okino's manager Sakae Yamagishi also called.

It is said that Okino Yoko is in good condition recently, and it seems that she is not so unlucky anymore. On the contrary, she feels a little unlucky. I wonder if there is any way to solve it.

Qin Zhibo asked if he had tried the potion given to Okino Yoko.

Yamagishi Sakae's answer was that he wanted to taste it, so he tasted a little bit.

Just a little bit.

Qin Zhibo: "How much is a little?"

Yamagishi Sakae: "It's just a little bit less than the size of a fingernail."

Qin Zhibo: "Then there is no other way, you can only endure it."

Yamagishi Sakae: "."

After hanging up the phone, Qin Zhibo had to admire Yamagishi Sakae's loyalty to Okino Yoko.

However, the price of loyalty is that he will be unlucky during this period. Although he will not die, he will at least be a "little evil".

Another visitor is Koizumi Hongzi.

She said that she passed by Zhibo Detective Office in the past two days and found that it was closed, so she came in to ask what was going on.

When asked about the reason, Koizumi Anko said proudly: "Don't misunderstand me. I just came to confirm that my belongings are safe."

Qin Zhibo: "Ah, yes."

Finally, Aso Michiru.

The purpose of his coming was to inform Qin Zhibo that the location of the private hospital had been found, and it was at the 2-chome next door.

"It's really hard to find a location near here that's suitable for a hospital!"

"The medical equipment has almost been purchased and can be moved inside in two days."

"As for the scale of the business, it won't be too big at first. I should be able to handle it by myself."

"But if the number of patients increases in the future, it seems that we will have to consider hiring a nurse."

"What's a good salary for a nurse? I've been staying on Moon Shadow Island since graduation and I don't understand the market here in Tokyo."

"It's really troublesome~"

Qin Zhibo put Aso Shimi on the sofa, and he could talk to himself for a long time. Qin Zhibo had no time to interrupt at all.

After Aso finished speaking, Qin Zhibo finally had the opportunity to make a formal invitation.

"Can you accompany me to a place for dinner this weekend?"

"Of course you can eat." Aso Minoru moved his head closer curiously and asked, "Excuse me, where is this place?"

"It's a place called Dracula's Villa."

"Dresula?"

Aso raised his head and thought for a while, then suddenly said in surprise: "Drasio! Could it be the Dracula of the vampire Dracula?"

"Oh? Do you know?"

As the inviter, Qin Zhibo didn't know this place.

Because the actual inviter for this dinner was Matsumoto Ryohei.

Qin Zhibo agreed to the invitation and brought a new person with him in order to repay the favor he had done last time when he helped look up Kaitou Kidd's information.

Newcomers are naturally Aso Miki.

As for the location, the address Matsumoto Ryohei gave was not his mountain villa, but a place called Villa Dracula.

Back to the present, Aso was very surprised by Qin Zhibo's invitation.

"When I think of Villa Dresula, the one that comes to mind is Daisuke Tokura, one of the most popular novelists in the country!"

"The subject matter of most of his works is vampires, so he himself is also known as 'Mr. Dresula'."

"And the place where he lives is called 'Villa Dresula'."

"Is this really that place? I'm really looking forward to it!"

Aso's eyes were full of expectation.

Qin Zhibo laughed in cooperation.

“Just look forward to it”
