The Grammatical Investigator in Conan

ah! alma mater!

Why are you so troubled?

This is not the first time Qin Zhibo has heard news about the deaths of Miskatonic University students.

After handling the case of brother and friend Gong before, Qin Zhibo saw relevant content in the legendary investigation notes of the writer brother.

An archaeological team from Miskatonic University came to Japan for archeology. The team's branch in Hakodate was set on fire by local villagers, and all members were killed.

This time it was the debate team that was blown up by a bomb again.

Both incidents happened in the last century, when the legal system was not yet complete, but it’s unlikely that all the people who died were people from Miskatonic University, right?

Could it be that Miskatonic University is an internationally renowned university that cultivates talents and sends them to the graveyard?

Thinking of this, Qin Zhibo decided to keep his identity as a Miskatonic University graduate more secret from now on.

"Then do you know the specific return time of this great Halley's Comet?"

Terai Huangnosuke shook his head, "Since the explosion, the University of Brightchester has never released relevant research data on the Great Halley Comet."

At this time, Kuroba Kaito on the side came over and said nonchalantly: "It must be some rich man who is old and afraid of death and believed the reports from back then. So he came up with this stupid idea to save his life~"

"By the way, let me ask." Kuroba Kaito touched the band-aid on his forehead and asked doubtfully, "Why are you suddenly so interested in my affairs?"

"Didn't you say you were interested in Koizumi Hongzi?"

Originally, Kuroba Kaito did not intend to tell other unrelated people about the murder of Kuroba Toichi and the organization behind it.

However, when Qin Zhibo asked just now, Kuroba Kaito somehow told the other party the information collected during this period.

It was as if his intuition told him that the uncle in front of him was worthy of trust.

Qin Zhibo thought for a few seconds, then gently placed his hand on Kuroba Kaito's shoulder, with a strange smile on his face.

"Because I'm sick."

Kuroba Kaito was a little surprised, "What disease do you have? Is it serious?"

"No" Qin Zhibo shook his head gently, "I have a fever called 'curiosity'."

Qin Zhibo's words stunned both Kuroba Kaito and Terai Kinosuke.

A few seconds passed, and the two of them looked at each other, but they still didn't come up with the saucy words of "get treatment as soon as possible if you are sick."

At this time, Qin Zhibo asked his last question before leaving.

"Okay, last question, do you know who the world's number one illusionist is?"

Terai Huangnosuke shook his head, and Kuroba Kaito next to him looked thoughtful.

"The world's best illusionist?"

"There seems to be some impression."

After thinking for a few seconds, Kuroba Kaito clapped his hands and said smartly: "I remembered it. A few days ago, Koizumi Anko said that she got three tickets for the performance of the world's number one illusionist and wanted to invite me and Aoko. Let’s go to the show together.”

Qingzi?

Qin Zhibo thought about it and remembered the first time he blocked Koizumi Hongzi at the school gate. Next to him was a girl named Nakamori Aoko who looked like Mao Lilan.

Since there are three performance tickets, then...

"I also want to go see that illusionist's performance. Nakamori Aoko's place is void."

"Ah?" Kuroba Kaito was stunned for a moment, "But..."

"It's okay, I'll just go and talk to Koizumi Hongzi."

Qin Zhibo waved his hand, meaning it was a trivial matter.

However, it was not that Kuroba Kaito found it difficult to convince Koizumi Anko, but that it was very difficult to convince Nakamori Aoko.

"Qingzi is really looking forward to that performance."

Kuroba Kaito wanted to complain, but Qin Zhibo had already said his final goodbyes and left the Blue Parrot Bar.

When I got back to the office, it was already very late.

Qin Zhibo first made a call to Xiang Baoli, and after confirming that the other party was not asleep, the two started to communicate on Jiutang Angel's website.

Because the investigation process was too complicated, Qin Zhibo directly informed Shina Kahori of the investigation results of Harui Fuden's death.

Kasaka Natsumi, a 27-year-old woman with long chestnut hair, was the granddaughter who approached Harui Fuden before the official performance of Harui Fuden, and then disappeared suddenly.

Qin Zhibo did not tell Niina Xiangbaoli what was beyond the scope of the normal investigation, such as the contents investigated using system props or investigation functions.

After being silent for a period of time, Niina Kahoori responded with something.

[Administrator: Mr. Harui has been performing a certain task at the headquarters, investigating a secret organization, and not long ago, Mr. Harui made great progress]

[Administrator: Mr. Harui was probably silenced by this organization for this reason]

[Qin: Can you tell me the name of that organization? 】

The computer screen was quiet for a while, and then a line of words appeared.

[Administrator: Beast Brotherhood]

Sure enough

Qin Zhibo's guess was correct. It was impossible for the Beast Brotherhood to assassinate Harujing Fengden for no reason. After all, Harujing Fengden was not a thief who stole gems.

[Administrator: By the way, your identity was not discovered when you traced them, right? 】

[Qin: Probably not]

[Administrator: Well, before tomorrow evening, I will transfer the total commission of 1 million from this task to your account]

[Qin: Thank you]

[Administrator: You’re welcome, you deserve this]

After ending the contact, Qin Zhibo lay on the boss's chair and fell into deep thought.

Strictly speaking, the task of this investigation was not easy, but the rewards were greater than imagined.

From the intelligence acquisition point of view, Qin Zhibo learned about two more mysterious organizations - the Beast Brotherhood and the Women's Guild.

These mysterious organizations are extremely dangerous, and the death of Chunjing Fengchuan just proved that Qin Zhibo's initial strategy was correct.

That is, these mysterious organizations cannot find out that they are investigating them, otherwise they will be assassinated.

In fact, not only the Beast Brotherhood and the Women's Guild discovered this time, but also the Black Brotherhood seen before, are also extremely dangerous existences.

So far, the pagan organizations that Qin Zhibo has directly encountered include the Corpse Ghoul, the Bloody Tongue, the Black Brotherhood, the Women's Guild, and the Beast Brotherhood.

If we add what we have just heard about, there are also the yellow-robed monks who recruited Keiji Aso to sell Ai, and the voodoo cultists who possess voodoo spells.

Qin Zhibo: There are hundreds of millions of pagan religions in this world

USA, Las Vegas.

Under the bright midday sun, a woman with short hair and fashionable clothes was sitting at the wooden round table placed at the entrance of the coffee shop, her slender and nimble hands playing with the laptop on the table.

[Administrator: The investigators investigating the Beast Brotherhood have been confirmed to have been assassinated in retaliation by the other party. The investigation may be suspended for a period of time. We hope for your understanding.]

Looking at the fresh line of words on the computer screen, the short-haired woman closed the computer, leaned back on the chair with a heavy expression, and was silent for a long time.

After a while, she turned on the computer again.

The moment she connected to the video call, the short-haired woman immediately regained her former vitality, as if nothing had happened.

"Kaito! I heard what Aoko said."

"You're going on a date with her, right?"
