The Grammatical Investigator in Conan
Chapter 322 Hattori Heiji: I’m the cheapest co-author...
Foreigner?
Looking at the blond and blue-eyed young man in the woods, Qin Zhibo was a little surprised.
Forget it if it's an international metropolis like Tokyo, I didn't expect that there could be foreigners in such a place where birds don't shit.
Judging from his attire, the man named Robert was wearing an orange bomber jacket, a mountaineering backpack, and a camera around his neck. He looked like he was traveling.
But at this moment, he stood there blankly, staring at the slightly lonely tombstone in the clearing of the woods, with infinite sadness in his eyes.
Suddenly, a gust of wind blew, seeming to blow a grain of sand into Robert's eyes.
Robert raised his hand and rubbed his eyes, his eyes immediately became firm, he turned away from the tombstone and followed the forest path in the other direction down the mountain.
After Robert had gone far, Qin Zhibo came out of the woods and walked up to check the contents on the tombstone.
[Daughter of the Takeda clan - Tomb of Misa Takeda]
The tombstone was not of high standard, and there were no memorial items on the tribute table.
But judging from the moss around the tombstone and the traces of rain erosion on the tombstone, this tombstone must not have been erected for more than five years.
There are no other graves around here, and it seems that he was buried here alone.
Generally, this situation means that the family of the deceased lives nearby, and the grave is buried here separately to facilitate future memorial services.
Could it be that there are people living in these barren mountains and ridges?
Qin Zhibo temporarily withdrew his thoughts and continued to move towards the mission location.
There are quite a few spiders here, and it’s easy to get those annoying spider webs hanging on your face after taking just two steps.
But the goal of this main mission is to "explore the spider lair", so Qin Zhibo believes that it should be at least a cave, crypt, and the like that humans can enter.
But Qin Zhibo searched an area of 50 meters near the mission site and could not find such a place.
It was an extremely huge banyan tree that amazed Qin Zhibo.
After searching for several times, no place similar to a "spider nest" was found. With the sun setting, Qin Zhibo could only withdraw his troops temporarily.
After walking down the forest path, Qin Zhibo returned to the area where he parked his Mazda, only to see a pair of "young men" and a man looking into his car window.
One of them is a dark-skinned high school student, holding a newly purchased motorcycle in his hand, and next to him is a girl with a single ponytail.
And that man was the foreigner he met on the mountain a few hours ago - Robert Taylor.
"Hattori Heiji, Toyama Kazuha."
Hearing Qin Zhibo's murmur, Hattori Heiji quickly raised his head and saw an exciting figure.
"Yo! It's actually Uncle Qin!"
"What a coincidence!"
It's certainly no coincidence that Hattori Heiji appears here.
Just a few days ago, Hattori Heiji received an anonymous commission letter, which said——
[I hope you will arrive at the Takeda house in Puppet Ridge, Tottori Prefecture before nightfall next Saturday, otherwise a living puppet will be killed by a spider]
Attached to the letter is a commission fee of 200,000 yuan.
Hattori Heiji did not work as a high school detective for profit, so he wanted to personally return the money.
But since the last power outage in Osaka caused by Kaitou Kidd, when he was caught racing on the sidewalk by his father who was the police chief, and his motorcycle was confiscated by the traffic police team, Hattori Heiji has been driving less motorcycles.
Without the motorcycle, the will-o'-the-wisp boy is like missing his soul.
So Hattori Heiji couldn't hold it back and spent part of the commission fee to buy a new blue motorcycle.
When he came this time, Hattori Heiji planned to return the remaining commission fee to the client first. The cost of buying the motorcycle was considered as a loan by himself, and then he would solve possible cases by the way.
When they came here, Toyama and Ye Fei said that she was as familiar with Tottori County as her own backyard and insisted on coming with them.
As expected, I got lost.
While getting lost, the two met Robert Taylor, an enthusiastic American who also spoke good Japanese.
Hattori Heiji, Toyama Kazuha thought Robert was a little suspicious at first, and did not want to deal with this stranger who suddenly jumped out, and continued to discuss the two of them sleeping together.
But after some exchanges, the three of them had the same destination, so they walked forward together for a while and met Qin Zhibo's Mazda parked on the roadside.
Toyama Kazuha, who had met at the Suzuki Museum of Modern Art before, walked up to Qin Zhibo and asked: "Mr. Qin, do you know where the Takeda family is?"
Qin Zhibo shrugged his shoulders, "I can't come."
Hattori Heiji was a little surprised and asked: "Uncle, aren't you here because you received a letter of entrustment from the Takeda family?"
Qin Zhibo shook his head nonchalantly.
This answer made Hattori Heiji feel a little complacent. After all, the client chose to send the commission letter to him, which showed that he recognized his detective ability.
In other words, he is the only officially designated detective in this case!
At this moment, a loud car horn sounded from behind everyone.
Didi——
Everyone looked back and saw a head sticking out of the car window, two carefully groomed beards twitching twice.
"Why are you guys?"
It’s actually Kogoro Mori!
The two groups looked at each other, surprised that the characters appearing this time were so complete.
Only Qin Zhibo saw Conan being held in Mao Lilan's arms through the front windshield of the truck.
This wave is stable!
Everyone had a brief conversation and it turned out that Mouri Kogoro was officially entrusted by Takeda Shinichi, the head of the Takeda family, to investigate the incident. There was also a deposit of 500,000 yen with the letter.
"It's strange, why is there only 200,000 in my commission letter?"
Hattori Heiji felt a little strange, but Mouri Kogoro immediately understood it and showed a tongue-out smile that could only be made by venom.
"Haha! The client must think that your reasoning ability is less than half that of my Mouri Kogoro, so I only gave you 200,000!"
Hattori Heiji, whose skin was originally dark, turned even darker now: "."
At this time, Conan looked up at Qin Zhibo and asked in a childish voice: "Then why is Uncle Qin here?"
Qin Zhibo smiled and touched Conan's head, and said softly: "Uncle, I'm here for a trip."
Faced with the expected answer, Conan showed his half-moon eyes and said "ahaha" twice.
After the conversation ended, everyone decided on the next itinerary.
The Osaka duo and their motorcycle, which ran out of gas, rode in the Maori family's van, while Robert got into Qin Zhibo's Mazda and followed the van.
In the car, Qin Zhibo and Robert had a brief exchange.
It turned out that Robert had been favored by the Takeda family three years ago, so he came back to visit again now.
Qin Zhibo did not tell him about seeing him on the mountain.
Soon, everyone arrived at Takeda's house.
The head of the Takeda family, Takeda Shinji, saw Qin Zhibo coming and immediately welcomed him happily.
"As long as Mr. Qin can solve the mystery in our family, I will offer the same commission fee as Mr. Maori as a reward."
Hearing this, Hattori Heiji on the side became even darker.
It's the cheapest if I co-author.
