The Grammatical Investigator in Conan

Chapter 466 Qin Zhibo, who loves being more serious

"I remember that the TV station's plan was not a mystery showdown between the famous Osaka high school detective, Hattori Heiji and Mr. Mori Kogoro?"

"How did it turn into a duel between two detective uncles?"

The TV program director took the new version of the project and stood up to answer Taira Ie's questions, "The Osaka detective refused to perform because he had to go to school, so he was temporarily replaced by Mr. Qin Zhibo to participate in the show."

"This is also very interesting. Among the two most popular late-bloomer detectives at the moment, who is better?"

It is not an exaggeration to say that Qin Zhibo and Mouri Kogoro are late blooming detectives. Both of them were unknown before, but they suddenly emerged in the past month and became dazzling supernovas in the detective world.

More importantly, this show will be Qin Zhibo's screen debut, which alone is quite topical.

At this moment, a man's hoarse voice came from the pilothouse at the bow of the ship.

"It doesn't matter what happens. The most important thing is that we finish the work quickly before the sun goes down."

"As soon as the sun sets in that place, those ghosts will come to claim their lives. This is no joke."

"Right? Captain?"

The middle-aged man with a Chinese character in the cab was named Dato Mikihiko. After speaking, he looked at the captain beside him as if seeking approval.

However, the captain's face was stiff and his eyes were staring at the sea. He seemed to be focusing on sailing the ship and did not answer any questions.

However, Qin Zhibo in the cabin behind was somewhat interested in this topic. Just as he was about to ask what was going on, he was asked by Mao Lilan, who was very concerned about such supernatural events.

"Those life-threatening things he was talking about were..."

Kume Yoshitsugi, one of the locals, put on a malicious look on his face and leaned his face towards Maori Lan, "Those ghosts will come specifically to steal people's souls. This is a legend that has been circulating a long time ago. There is a woman who comes at night Just keep weaving."

Next to him, Noburo Ikema also made a strange expression with his tongue hanging out and his eyes staring, and then said: "A messenger from the underworld dressed in death clothes will come ashore silently from the shore every night and take away the souls of the living."

As expected, Mao Lilan, who was relatively weak-willed, was so frightened that her heart sped up, a frightened expression appeared on her face, and her body unconsciously leaned towards the only person who was most suitable to rely on at the moment, which was Qin Zhibo.

Qin Zhibo was a little different from usual, and he had no feeling about the legend this time.

The reason is simple. If there really was a so-called messenger from the underworld on the island, Keikazu Shimabukuro would not have spent four years on the island unharmed.

And if you think about it carefully, this kind of legend about ghosts on the island can prevent local people from approaching the island and reduce the possibility of Shimabukuro Keiwa being rescued.

So is it possible that the bandits back then deliberately spread such ghost legends?

"You said this legend has been circulating for a long time. How long is it?"

"I guess it won't be long. After all, there are said to be abandoned villas on the island. If the owner of the villa knew about ghosts, he wouldn't choose to build a villa on it, right?"

"Also, there seems to be some discrepancy between the legends you two mentioned. Since this female messenger from the underworld keeps weaving at night, how can he have time to go ashore to seize his soul?"

"And since she came ashore, it means she usually stays in the sea. Could it be that she is weaving in the sea?"

"Please give me a reasonable explanation."

Qin Zhibo, who is serious about love and seriousness, brought up several brilliant points in one breath, which made the two local guys immediately dumbfounded.

"This, this."

"Actually, this was suddenly spread among our small circle of local diving enthusiasts a few years ago."

Seeing Yoshitsugi Kume and Noburo Ikema hesitating, Mao Lilan also relieved her fear.

"It turns out it was just made up." Mao Lilan breathed a sigh of relief and patted her chest, "I thought it was true."

Conan raised his head and glanced at Mao Lilan, who was comforted, and then understood the reason why Qin Zhibo suddenly became more serious about such mythical legends.

listen to me thank you

After more than an hour of sailing, the boat finally arrived at Ghost Turtle Island.

Taira Ie put on a diving suit and said that he wanted to play diving in the sea on the shore. The others, led by Taketomi Masao, first went to see the "puzzle" of this reasoning showdown.

In front of an abandoned villa on the coast, there are sharp words carved with a dagger on the pillars of the porch. The content is: The princess sleeps in A instead of B.

Qin Zhibo stood on the spot and observed the investigation point above, while Conan walked closer and observed carefully.

Masao Taketomi stood at the back and introduced: "The body of the unknown man who was discovered a year ago was leaning against these wooden words. The cause of death seems to be that he did not eat or drink for several days, and finally starved to death."

"In fact, about a year ago, a large typhoon happened to hit this island, so the locals wondered whether this person might have drifted to this place due to a shipwreck."

"It's just that this matter has never been concluded, leaving only these strange words."

Although Taketomi Masao said this, Qin Zhibo, as someone who came here to pursue clues, naturally knew what was going on.

A year ago, the man who starved to death was one of the members of the bandit group. He was trapped on the island and starved to death because his boat was stolen by Keihe Shimabukuro.

As for this text

【Secret Word Survey√】

[The first finger refers to the tortoise shell, which alludes to the small island; the second finger refers to Princess Oto of the Dragon Palace, which alludes to the sea. The full meaning of the code is: the "princess" is placed on the small island, not in the sea]

The "Secret Word Investigation" did not answer the question of what the "princess" in it meant, but it reminded Qin Zhibo of what Keikazu Shimabukuro said. The robber a year ago was supposed to put down the supplies and leave, but suddenly sneaked in. Into the sea.

There was a wind blowing on the sea at that time, so he dived into the water at the risk of his life.

The four robbers came to the island to hide a certain treasure they had stolen. After discovering that there was someone on the island, what method would they choose to hide the treasure?

Keika Shimabukuro has always lived on the island. If he hid his treasure on the island, if it was discovered, he might be used for blackmail, or the treasure might be destroyed out of anger.

So they can only hide the treasure in the sea!

And the starved robber left this code, indicating that the treasure had been transferred from the sea to the island.

The treasure is on the island!

Conan looked at the code for a long time. He had no idea for solving the problem at the moment, so he could only quietly take out a small notebook and write it down first.

Mao Lilan, who didn't know much about code reasoning, looked up at the two-story villa in front of him and asked curiously: "Hey, who built this villa?"

At this moment, Taira Ie, who had finished diving, came over and wiped the brown hair on his head, "This was built by the mayor of Jincheng Town. I heard that it was used as a villa before, but it was abandoned after the typhoon destroyed it."

Daito Mikihiko on the side also came over and added a meaningful sentence.

"Now I see that this place is indeed much different from before."

"It's like Urashima Taro coming back to reality."
