The Grammatical Investigator in Conan

"Not insured!?"

"There is insurance, but unfortunately, the insurance coverage for this car does not cover water damage. I'm sorry."

The insurance company staff bowed and left, leaving Qin Zhibo standing messy in the wind.

He never expected that this car had a lot of insurance, but there was no water insurance.

In other words, all I have left now is this water-soaked truck.

Qin Zhibo had no choice but to call a tow truck and send the water-soaked Ford Mustang convertible to a repair shop in Tokyo.

In addition to dealing with the flooding of the truck this time when he returned to Nishitama City, there was another thing that Qin Zhibo had to get his hands on.

Arriving on a hill in Nishitama City, Kisaragi Minesui's mansion has been cordoned off by the Nishitama City police.

The police are looking for evidence inside, such as the murder weapon used by the amputee Ogi, but they have not been found yet.

Qin Zhibo knew that it was Royger who amputated Representative Omu, and it was impossible to find a sickle or anything like that.

But now that they were here, Qin Zhibo gave some random instructions and then left.

At night, Qin Zhibo sneaked back into Ruyue Fengshui's mansion.

When we arrived at the small warehouse, the stone slab was still intact.

Qin Zhibo held Shi Ban in his arms and quickly left the scene.

He didn't know how Ruyue Fengshui came into contact with Royger, but this stone tablet of Luoyan City's teaching book must be some kind of opportunity.

This thing is too dangerous for ordinary people, so it is better to keep it yourself.

Moreover, it records the Raleye language that he needs to learn. Once he collects all the Luoyan City textbooks, he should be able to exchange them for money to the Nine Angels Organization.

The Nine Angels organization specializes in acquiring these mysterious things.

At dawn the next day, Qin Zhibo returned to Tokyo in Officer Memu's police car.

Qin Zhibo did not return to the office immediately, but went to the car repair shop first.

After a night's work, the garage gave advice on how to deal with it.

There is no water in the engine, but there is more or less water in other parts.

The water in the swimming pool was originally very clean, but later some volcanic ash fell, which polluted the water in the pool, so the interior of the car also needed to be completely cleaned.

The total cost is between 300,000 and 350,000 yen.

Adhering to the principle of treating a dead horse as a live doctor, Qin Zhibo could only spend this money to see if he could recover the losses.

However, Qin Zhibo still felt some comfort when he thought that Kogoro Mouri's bicycle and helmet were blown up by Gin's bomb.

Back at the office, Qin Zhibo stretched his head and looked at the empty living room.

Since the incident at the Twin Skyscrapers, Toru Amuro has been out of touch for four days.

Are free workers gone?

This is not a problem, because I am the one who has experienced those things with him, and he will definitely come back to find me.

But after nearly committing suicide in the building and seeing a lizard monster with my own eyes, my world view must have been greatly affected, and it will take time to relax.

Even if it means giving him a short vacation.

And just in time, I can take this time to test out the new props I can redeem.

At present, my general skill proficiency is 23310, and I can already exchange it for the most expensive [Stand-in Messenger] in this week's mall items.

【Exchange√】

With Qin Zhibo's thought, the number on the proficiency balance suddenly dropped to 3310, and then there was a new item - the substitute messenger.

Qin Zhibo has been thinking about this prop for a long time.

Taking a deep breath, he closed the blinds of the office and geared up to summon the substitute messenger.

"Come out! My substitute messenger!"

In fact, the second line is unnecessary, but a man is a boy until he dies and understands everything.

A tall and powerful type? Or the glamorous type?

At this moment, Qin Zhibo's heart was full of expectations.

As his words fell, a dark man almost the same size as Qin Zhibo gradually appeared in front of Qin Zhibo.

this.

It's you! Xiaohei!

Qin Zhibo subconsciously took a step back. Although "Little Hei" can theoretically be seen in every case, in fact Qin Zhibo has been able to solve the case without the help of "Little Hei" for a long time.

This can be considered a kind of growth.

The dark man stood quietly, his oval black head probably looking at Qin Zhibo, looking at each other.

After confirming that it posed no threat to him, Qin Zhibo slowly approached his stand-in.

Upon closer inspection, there are actually some differences between this stand-in messenger and the "little black" at the crime scene.

The stand-in does not have the menacing Kazilan big eyes, it does not even have any facial features, and cannot make a fierce expression like "Xiao Hei".

Its body is also made of pure black without any detailed decoration.

When Qin Zhibo moved forward, the substitute messenger also moved behind him, looking like a domineering and powerful bodyguard.

Taking the stand-in with him, Qin Zhibo came to the bathroom mirror.

But what is suspicious is that only Qin Zhibo's figure is reflected in the mirror, and the stand-in messenger who is about the same size as Qin Zhibo is standing behind him.

Can't you see it in the mirror and can't anyone else see it?

Qin Zhibo turned around and tried to touch the body of the substitute.

The body of this stand-in has a somewhat frosted texture, and its surface is as soft as rubber, like a human-shaped gummy candy.

Now Qin Zhibo knew why the introduction said that this thing had no attack power, because its body was too soft.

After another hour of exploration, Qin Zhibo figured out some ways to use the substitute messenger.

The stand-in messenger is divided into two modes, follow mode and learning mode.

In follow mode, it can actively follow Qin Zhibo, imitate Qin Zhibo's body and make the same movements, or make some simple movements alone.

Of course, the action performed alone is generally meaningless, because it can't even aim.

For example, when Qin Zhibo wanted it to hand him a cup, the substitute messenger couldn't even grasp the cup.

However, Qin Zhibo still developed a gameplay for it.

Electronic rock taunt!

鞥-鞥-鞥——

The stand-in performs electric shaking taunting movements in the room, it’s perfect!

Seeing the extremely restored electronic rocker taunting, Qin Zhibo was a little satisfied, but at the same time a little lonely.

What's the use?

It seems that only I can see this stand-in messenger. If it learns electric shock to taunt, doesn't it mean that it can only taunt myself?

Qin Zhibo could only temporarily abandon this self-entertainment method and study the learning mode.

In the learning mode, the Stand-in Messenger is like turning on the automatic hang-up experience mode.

For example, if Qin Zhibo wants to learn the skill of "computer use", the avatar will take the initiative to sit at the computer desk, turn on the power of the computer host himself, log in to the web page and start surfing the Internet.
