The Grammatical Investigator in Conan

[What is "Shoggoth"? 】

[I still can’t understand the meaning of this word to this day, but maybe Professor Dell, who was on the adventure together, knows all this]

[When it comes to Professor Dell, his will is much firmer than that of young people]

[As far as I know, after he ended his Antarctic adventure, he continued to have adventures around the world, such as a desert monument in Australia]

[Professor Dell was able to successfully escape every adventure, and it was not until 1970 that he died at the age of 94, which is really admirable]

[Because the teammates who followed him on the adventure either got mad or would never come back.]

[If you want to ask me where the biological samples obtained after the Antarctic adventure can be seen now, the only thing I know is that all biological samples were collected by the Amanda Foundation, which sponsored the expedition]

[The founder of the Amanda Foundation, Ms. Amanda Hughes, has never released these biological samples, so the outside world will never know the truth]

[In 1979, I heard that Amanda Hughes was murdered in New York, USA, and I wrote this manuscript because I was worried that this period of history would be completely buried]

[If you feel that the content is too crazy and has no credibility]

[Okay, let’s just think of it as a weird story with a unique style written by an elderly “Egg head”. 】

——

After reading Master Mamiya's manuscript, Qin Zhibo's consciousness immediately returned to his body.

In the familiar study room, Mamiya Mitsuru, who was leaning over the desk, had just finished writing the contract and called Qin Zhibo over.

"Mr. Qin, do you think this contract is okay?"

Qin Zhibo glanced at the contents of the contract and signed his name directly without inviting Matsumoto Ryohei to be the notary.

And Mitsuru Mamiya also signed his name.

After finishing the contract, Qin Zhibo turned around and saw a golden badge placed on the bookshelf.

Noticing where Qin Zhibo was looking, Mamiya Mitsuru, whose eyes were somewhat proud, immediately introduced: "My father-in-law was the first Japanese to reach the Antarctic, so he was posthumously awarded the National Honor Award by the government."

Qin Zhibo nodded, and at the same time saw the Miskatonic University emblem placed aside.

The badge is real, and it seems that the contents of the manuscript are also real.

Including that unknown creature with a five-pointed star head

A new mission is unlocked by reading Mr. Mamiya's manuscript, and the content of the mission is to see with one's own eyes the five-pointed star-headed creature described in the manuscript.

You can't go to Antarctica yourself, right?

Although there are no restrictions on the time and location of this achievement task, it seems to be a hint to go to Antarctica.

But going to Antarctica is not an outing for elementary school students. There are too many restrictions in all aspects. Even if a person spends his whole life preparing, he may not be able to go to Antarctica.

Therefore, a more reliable way to complete this task is to use the six biological samples brought back by the Miskatonic expedition that year.

According to what was recorded in the manuscript, these six biological samples were taken away by the foundation that sponsored the expedition, and their existence was never announced to the outside world.

The founder of the foundation was Amanda Hughes, who was killed 17 years ago.

It seems that this task cannot be rushed, it is better to think about it in the long term.

Qin Zhibo put Mr. Mamiya's manuscript back into the wooden box, picked up another manuscript left by Mr. Sadaki, and asked: "Can you lend me this manuscript to read?"

Mamiya Mitsuru glanced at the manuscript and said, "Yes, yes, as long as you don't take it out of the castle."

"Thanks."

Qin Zhibo took the second unread manuscript in his hand and prepared to continue his unfinished business, which was to search for the treasure in the castle.

Just now in the last paragraph of Mr. Mamiya's manuscript, Qin Zhibo discovered that Mr. Mamiya used the word "Egg head".

According to Qin Zhibo's initial understanding, this word means nerd, which may refer to the study room.

But now it seems that Egg head is actually Mr. Mamiya’s self-deprecating expression, referring to himself.

Qin Zhibo remembered that in the castle hall, a huge portrait of Mr. Mamiya was hung on the second-floor staircase wall opposite the gate.

Maybe that's where the secret code on the chessboard lawn refers to.

When Qin Zhibo and Mamiya Man walked out of the study and came to the second floor of the castle, they happened to meet the young detective team and a young man named Mamiya Takato.

According to Mamiya Mitsuru's introduction, Mamiya Takato is the child of his wife and her ex-husband, Mr. Sadaki, and has recently returned from studying abroad.

From the mouths of these people, Qin Zhibo and Mamiya Man learned a piece of news.

Conan is missing.

"Could that guy be hiding somewhere and want to suddenly jump out and scare us?" Yuantai said with a wicked look.

Mitsuhiko also agreed: "It is indeed possible. That boy Conan is quite childish sometimes."

"Uh-huh!"

Ayumi nodded in agreement.

The three wise men suddenly turned the child's disappearance into a child trying to play a prank, leaving Qin Zhibo speechless.

You are the real children, right?

If Conan disappears, he must be really missing.

The victim this time won't be Conan, right?

If it was really Conan, then his losses would be huge.

Qin Zhibo murmured in his heart, while Huiyuan Ai also looked at Qin Zhibo quietly at this moment.

Should I tell him that Conan may be trapped in the secret passage of the castle mechanism?

In fact, the first time she discovered that Conan was missing, Haihara Ai guessed from the fallen chair and the clock hanging on the wall that Conan was involved in the secret passage of the castle.

It's just that the noble Mamiya suddenly came to stop him, so that he couldn't continue to pursue it.

Among the people in the whole house who can be relied on now, apart from Dr. A Li, it seems that the only one Qin Zhibo who is rated as a "good person" by Conan is Qin Zhibo.

In terms of mobility, Qin Zhibo, an active private detective, should be more reliable than Dr. A Li.

Just when Hui Yuan Ai quietly walked up to Qin Zhibo and wanted to reach out to pull Qin Zhibo's clothes, a voice came from behind everyone.

"Everyone, dinner is ready."

Ayumi wanted to find Conan first before eating, but Matsumoto Ryohei comforted him: "Don't worry, that kid with glasses likes the food I cooked very much."

"As long as he can smell the aroma of the food, he will come out on his own."

At the same time, Conan, lying in the darkness, sniffed and slowly opened his eyes.

It's the smell of food

Is it time for dinner?
