The Grammatical Investigator in Conan

Qin Zhibo quickly made a calculation in his mind.

The annual maintenance cost of the Blue Castle is ten ke (100 million). If you hold 1/10 of the property rights, you will have to pay 1 ke.

And all the property he currently has is only 1 Ke, and this old castle in the mountains is of no use to him.

This is like giving a Ferrari supercar to a beggar. The beggar neither uses it nor can afford it.

Let alone maintaining a car, now I can barely even fill up with gasoline.

If the castle can be sold, it would be nice to get 1/10 of the money.

But let alone the Mamiya family, they may not necessarily want to sell the Blue Castle. Even if they really sell it for takeout, they may not be able to sell it.

Spending a lot of money to buy a castle with troublesome transportation and death, and paying 100 million yen in maintenance fees every year.

Are there such injustices in the world?

Even the wealthy Suzuki family wouldn't buy this kind of castle, right?

Castles and villas are not the same concept.

Castles and castles are buildings that the government has deemed to have historical value. As long as you hold the property rights, you must pay annual maintenance fees to repair the buildings. You are not allowed to change the internal structure and decoration without authorization, and you must hire professionals to take care of them.

To put it bluntly, a villa is just a big house. As long as you are not afraid of burglars, you can leave it vacant for any length of time without any problem.

Qin Zhibo even suspected that Natsumi had ordered Pu Si Qinglan to set fire to the castle in Yokosuka.

Because I really can’t afford it!

After settling the account in his mind, Qin Zhibo decided not to talk about his findings.

This blue castle...whoever loves it should go!

An hour later, Officer Megure arrived with his team.

"What a coincidence, I bump into you every time it's my turn to work the night shift."

Officer Memu looked at the familiar faces in the castle and couldn't help but complain.

At this time, the entire castle knew that the so-called treasure mystery was actually a piece of scenery.

Or rather, it was a little joke made by Mr. Mamiya.

"The setting of this 'treasure' is really unexpectedly romantic."

Dr. Ali complained lightly, while Haibara Ai on the side said with some disdain: "It's a pity that this 'romantic' indirectly killed my daughter."

"If there were no last words, it would not evoke the greed in human nature."

"Human nature is the least able to withstand the test. If you don't even know this, you are really an Egg-head who has wasted his life."

Haibara Ai's comments left the three little ones scratching their heads. Dr. Ali was a little embarrassed and turned his gaze to Conan aside, hoping that Conan could bring some light into Haibara Ai's heart.

However, Conan was still standing there, indifferent to what was happening around him, his brows furrowed as if he was thinking about something.

"Shinichi? What's wrong with you?" Dr. Ali touched Conan's back and asked quietly: "Why haven't you spoken?"

Since being rescued by Qin Zhibo, Conan has been as silent as an autistic child, which makes Dr. Ali a little concerned.

"Is Conan too hungry to speak?"

Ayumi kindly handed over the bread she collected at dinner, but Conan ignored his friend's concern and was still thinking.

Haihara Ai noticed something was wrong with Conan, walked to his side, and asked calmly: "What's wrong? Detective?"

In Haiyuan Ai's cold voice, Conan slowly raised his head and said mysteriously: "Do you believe there are ghosts in this world?"

Haibara Ai:"?"

Hui Yuan Ai frowned, took out an A Li recording pen from his pocket, and started recording.

"On the 21st day after taking the medicine, paranoia was found in Experimental Subject No. 77."

"It is expected that this is a side effect caused by taking the drug APTX-4869, which will cause patients to have delusions."

"It seems that in addition to inducing programmed cell death in the body, the drug APTX-4869 also has a certain intelligence-lowering effect on brain tissue."

The "Experimental Subject No. 77" mentioned by Haibara Ai is exactly Conan's code name in the APTX-4869 experimental research project.

As for the previous 76 research subjects, they were all creatures called "white mice."

After hearing that Haibara Ai defined what he said after serious consideration as paranoia, Conan quickly opened his mouth to defend himself.

"I'm not delusional! I really saw ghosts in the secret passage."

"Oh?" Haiyuan Ai raised his eyebrows and asked in a playful tone: "Then can you tell me what the ghost looks like? Great Detective?"

Conan looked solemnly as he recalled what he had just seen and heard in the secret passage.

"I just saw the old lady's bones floating in the air, chasing after Mutsumi Nishikawa."

Seeing that the expression on Haihara Ai's face was still indifferent, Conan had an idea and said again: "That's right!"

"Musumi Saikawa must remember this, and she can definitely prove what I said!"

At this time, Nishikawa Mutsumi, who was leaning on handcuffs, happened to pass by under the leadership of Officer Takagi.

Conan hurried forward and asked, "Did the old lady's bones chase you when you were under the secret passage?"

The devastated Mutsumi Nishikawa tilted his head listlessly and glanced at Conan, an extremely hollow soul reflected in his extremely old eyes.

"What bones?"

"I have no idea."

After saying that, Nishikawa Mutsumi followed Officer Takagi and left like a robot programmed in advance.

The only witness could not testify for himself, and Conan was a little angry.

Qin Zhibo came over at this moment, touched Conan's head, and said distressedly: "This child must have claustrophobia. As long as he stays in a claustrophobic and dark environment for a long time, he will have hallucinations."

Hui Yuan Ai held her chin up and nodded in agreement, "It's also possible."

I was indeed careless just now, and I should have taken the recipient's own disease into account.

At this time, the three little ones from the Young Detective Team also invariably showed their pity eyes.

Ayumi said: "Conan, you have suffered"

Mitsuhiko said: "I heard from books that claustrophobia is often related to tragic experiences in childhood, such as being physically punished by parents and being locked in a small space such as a closet."

Yuantai said: "Is it possible that Conan is so smart because he was physically punished by his parents and forced to study textbooks?"

The three of them said in unison: "Conan, what a pitiful person."

Under Qin Zhibo's misguidance, seeing the young detective team's misunderstanding of Conan getting deeper and deeper, Dr. Ali could only say "Hey, hey." twice to express his objection.

Just as Conan was about to open his mouth to defend himself, the clock struck midnight in the castle.

Officer Memu came over with a big belly and said: "It's already very late now, so I won't disturb the children's rest. Just find some free time this week and let Conan come to the Metropolitan Police Department to record a statement."

"By the way, there's one more thing." Officer Memu turned to look at Qin Zhibo and Dr. Ari, "Professor Hirota's case has been processed, and you can take back the relevant evidence this week."

this week

Qin Zhibo vaguely remembered the last time at Professor Hirota's house. Officer Mumu promised that he would not be able to retrieve the Latin learning magnetic tape as evidence next week.

And Officer Megure said "this week".

In other words, a new week has begun!
