The Grammatical Investigator in Conan

Chapter 58 The challenge mission begins!

It was the same as the cemetery Qin Zhibo saw last night, except that the cemetery during the day was much less eerie and looked like an ordinary cemetery that had been abandoned for a long time.

The arrangement of the tombs in the entire cemetery is very irregular. There are many tombs piled together randomly, and there are even many tombs that have not been buried.

The tombstones in the cemetery are relatively simple, most of them are made of wood, and have almost rotted away from the erosion of the rain for many years.

A few of them are stone tablets, but they don't have any words engraved on them, and most of them have collapsed.

Weeds blocked all the possible paths, so Qin Zhibo had to step on each grave to pass through the cemetery.

After a little search in the cemetery, Qin Zhibo found the "Guard Totem Vision Transformation" that provided him with vision.

This is a dandelion planted on a grave.

As long as the yellow-white plush stuff on the dandelion leaves the plant without being disturbed by external objects, it means that the guard totem is still intact.

After browsing around, Qin Zhibo's evaluation of this cemetery is "an unknown grave", and there is nothing sinister about it yet.

Entering from the north of the cemetery and exiting from the south, Qin Zhibo discovered another forest path.

Going forward along this road is a deserted village.

Most of the buildings in the village have scorch marks, and it can be seen that there was a fire here.

Recalling that an infectious disease broke out here, Qin Zhibo felt that the fire might have been set by the authorities.

After all, it is now 1996. If we go back more than ten years, medical technology will be even less developed. Instead of laboriously disinfecting, it is better to light a fire and have fun.

Through the decaying or collapsing walls, Qin Zhibo saw that most of the houses were completely burned, leaving only the charred remains of the burned furniture, baring their teeth and claws like the claws of monsters.

Continuing along the narrow path overgrown with weeds in the center of the village, I finally found a relatively well-preserved house.

Qin Zhibo kicked down the wooden board covering the door, causing a burst of dust.

In the room, he looked around. What he saw was a pile of tattered bedding that had not been washed for many years, dirty tableware, a stove made of broken bricks, and a ball of bandages on the ground!

Qin Zhibo raised his eyebrows and stepped forward to inspect the bandage.

There was neither blood nor dust on the bandage, indicating that the bandage had been placed here recently.

This is easily reminiscent of the bandage weirdo-Takahashi Ryoichi.

Did Takahashi escape here?

Qin Zhibo picked up the bandage on the ground and smelled it. There was a strange smell on it, but it was hard to tell whether it was from Takahashi's body.

In addition, these daily necessities in the house make Qin Zhibo feel quite alive.

Could there be someone living here?

After finishing the investigation of the deserted village, Qin Zhibo returned to the cemetery.

It is now 10 o'clock in the morning, and there are less than 40 hours left to challenge the mission. If you want to complete the "Night in the Cemetery" mission, you can only do it tonight.

So after careful consideration, Qin Zhibo decided to stay in the cemetery tonight.

Standing on the highest grave in the entire cemetery, Qin Zhibo studied the terrain for a long time and decided not to live in the tent he brought here tonight.

Both the shape and color of the tent stand out in this cemetery, making it an easy target for unknown creatures.

If you want to survive the night, it's best to pretend to be part of your surroundings.

COS becomes a tombstone?

No, this is not scientific at all.

The solution Qin Zhibo came up with was to make the COS a dead man.

Why COS a dead person?

Naturally, the person lying in the coffin is the dead person.

There happened to be a few coffins in this cemetery that had not had time to be buried, and Qin Zhibo planned to borrow one of them to lie down in.

After a period of careful selection, Qin Zhibo chose a paulownia wood coffin that was in good quality.

Use a crowbar to pry open the coffin lid. The inside is relatively dry and not as rotten as the outside.

The most important thing is that there is no family in this coffin, it is an empty coffin.

"good."

Qin Zhibo nodded with satisfaction, put his backpack next to him, and went in first to "try lying down".

Grasp the edge of the coffin with both hands and step forward with your left foot first and then your right foot.

In this way, Qin Zhibo, a living person, took the initiative to lie in the coffin in broad daylight.

Lying inside, Qin Zhibo realized that the coffin was a bit narrow for his height of 1.85m, and his knees needed to be bent to lie down in it.

But the advantage is that this kind of narrow matchbox-like residence will give people an inexplicable sense of security, as if this coffin is their real home.

Lying inside, Qin Zhibo suddenly felt sleepy after not sleeping well last night.

The eyes gradually close.

Fortunately, at the moment when the upper and lower eyelids were about to stick together, a famous aphorism from a great man made Qin Zhibo wake up.

Why sleep for a long time while alive? You will sleep forever after you die!

Qin Zhibo still has some preparation work to do, so he can't sleep yet.

He quickly climbed out of the coffin and started gathering weeds nearby.

First, throw the weeds into the bottom of the coffin, and then put the waterproof cloth you brought on top to make a simple bed, making it more comfortable to lie in it at night.

Then they gathered more grass to cover up the coffin as much as possible, which was considered an extra layer of disguise.

By the time I finished doing this, it was already past four in the afternoon.

During this process, helicopters kept flying overhead, and Qin Zhibo had to frequently hide in the coffin.

It is estimated that the group of people from the villa called the police after going down the mountain. The police have already intervened and began to search for Takahashi Ryoichi who escaped.

"I hope the police won't find me here."

Qin Zhibo prayed silently in the coffin.

But even if the police found him, Qin Zhibo also thought of some reasons to deal with Officer Mu Mu.

For example, he wanted to capture Ryoichi Takahashi in a "waiting for the rabbit" method.

Or are you just here for an outing?

I believe that with my current social credit in 2010, even if Mu Mu doesn't believe it, he won't embarrass himself.

Time passed little by little, until night fell completely, and the sound of helicopters stopped appearing.

Qin Zhibo gently moved the coffin lid and took out some compressed dry food from his backpack to fill his stomach.

After filling his stomach, Qin Zhibo closed the coffin lid again, leaving only a narrow gap for ventilation.

Although Qin Zhibo is lying in the coffin, there are guard totems outside the coffin that provide a 360° view, so what is happening outside can still be seen immediately.

As the time on the watch came to 8:00, some cold words appeared on the left side of Qin Zhibo's vision.
