The Grammatical Investigator in Conan

"Run away!"

"Run away!"

"quick"

The ghost's voice gradually weakened, and the blue light spots on its body gradually dissipated, retreating into a hollow skeleton, hanging quietly in the air.

Immediately afterwards, Bones received an invitation letter from Newton and fell to the ground one after another.

Without the noise of the ghost, the entire underground space returned to an extremely quiet state. In the cool and humid cave, only Qin Zhibo could make noise now.

He glanced at the base of the inhuman statue. Although his will value was still 65, which was still higher than that of a normal person, there was no need to waste his will value on this place.

Therefore, Qin Zhibo chose to exit this space first, and then read Senjian Kyousuke's notes.

Back on the surface, Qin Zhibo did not leave too far.

Since I didn't know how to close the mechanism of the fountain, I could only stand the nuclear lighter on the edge of the pool, put my notes next to it, and use the firelight to read.

【Senma Kyousuke's Notes】

[Who is a serious person who keeps a diary? But notes are fine]

There are actually investigation points in this notebook, but once he enters the reading investigation, Qin Zhibo's brain will enter "movie mode", and he will not know it even if someone is trying to chop him with a knife.

It is obviously an unwise choice to give up observing the outside world in this environment.

Qin Zhibo opened the first page of his notes and started directly with receiving the invitation from Karasuma Renye.

——

On May 4, 1956, I received an invitation from the wealthy Renya Karasuma and came to a place called the Dusk Annex to help him find the treasure his mother left in the museum. Others were also invited. A wise man in the field.

On May 7, Renye Karasuma summoned us for the first time. He was an old man in a wheelchair who always needed the care of servants.

Renye Karasuma announced to us the mystery left behind by his mother, which was a series of secret codes: Two travelers were traveling in a hurry, looking up at the sky at night and the color of the earth changing.

On May 9th, he is worthy of being the richest man in Japan today. Even in the midst of the national economic depression, he can still provide a large sum of money as a reward for all of us who are invited to come every day.

I don’t have to worry about food and clothing here, and there are servants to take care of me. To be honest, I want to stay here forever.

On May 15th, there were a lot of crows in the forest around the annex, and they called "ooh, oh, oh, oh, oh" every night, which was very annoying.

But according to the servants in the annex, these are all raised by Renya Karasuma.

On May 22, the progress of password cracking was very slow. Compared with half a month ago, there was no progress.

But those of us who were invited were very happy. Under the current background in Japan, it is not easy to find a "job" with stable income. We don't want to end the code cracking work too early and lose this hard work. Not an easy job.

On May 27, I suffered from insomnia, but for the sake of a prosperous life for my family, I could only endure it.

On June 3, my insomnia became more and more serious, and the crows’ cries every night gave me a headache. I would love to purchase a slingshot to ward off these disgusting birds.

However, the supplies entering and exiting the annex are strictly controlled by Renya Karasuma, and slingshots are not among the supplies allowed to be purchased.

On June 7, Karasuma Renye summoned us for the second time. His physical condition seemed to be worse than when we met last month.

He asked us about the progress of the code cracking, and all of us were speechless.

As if expecting this to happen, Renye Karasuma brought two more burly men in black this time than the last time they met.

Karasuma Renye's fingers slid over our heads, seemingly randomly pointing out a linguist, allowing two men in black to take the person away.

On June 8, under pressure from Renya Karasuma, the remaining scholars had to begin deciphering the code. me too.

On June 10, the scope of what the code could refer to was too large. Several days had passed and we still had not made any progress.

On June 15, I wrote to my friend, Yasuhiro Mamiya, about my experiences and circumstances here.

He is the first Japanese to reach the Antarctic. He studied at Miskatonic University in the United States in his early years. He is a historian and calls himself an "intellectual full of lies."

He learned about my experience and jokingly said that he would also place a puzzle in his blue castle in the future for future generations to reveal. This is true romance.

But I can feel that everything happening in the Dusk Annex may have nothing to do with romance.

On June 25, insomnia continued to plague me, and I could no longer stand the crows.

On June 26, I wandered in the woods around the annex, looking for materials suitable for making a slingshot.

During the process, I discovered a very strange tree with a metallic gray color and a very regular shape. It may be some kind of strange plant planted by Renya Karasuma.

On June 27, I picked up a tree branch with just the right shape in the woods, and took out the monkey rubber band from my pants to make a simple slingshot.

At night, I used this slingshot to hit the crows outside the window. They were finally frightened and flew away, and I felt extremely satisfied.

On June 30, the linguist who had been dragged away by Renye Karasuma miraculously came back.

We all came up to greet him one after another and were concerned about where he went after he left, but in fact we were more concerned about the fate we might face in the future.

However, the linguist did not say anything useful and just kept repeating "I forgot".

On June 7, Renye Karasuma summoned us on time to inquire about the progress of the code cracking.

Compared to last month's meeting, his health seemed to be worse. He kept coughing and seemed to be ready to die at any time.

This time there were more men in black following him. After learning that there was still no progress in our code cracking work, he directly ordered people to take away five people this time.

On June 18, the five people who were taken away a few days ago returned quickly, but they were not unscathed like the previous linguists.

The hair on their heads was shaved off, and a large circular hole was cut into it. The appearance was extremely terrifying, just like the science monster in the science fiction novel "Frankenstein".

Asked them what happened, they also replied that they could not remember.

On June 19, our remaining scholars planned to protest against this inhumane behavior to Karasuma Renye, but at dusk, more men in black suddenly entered the annex.

They were armed with live ammunition, and we didn't dare to resist.

At dusk, the villa suddenly turns from heaven to hell. The pressure of survival makes us try our best to decipher the code in order to leave here intact and reunite with our families.
