The Grammatical Investigator in Conan

Toru Amuro looked at the man in the photo in disbelief, remembering that he was Kinoshita Tomonori who held a photography exhibition in the department store that day.

A dark shadow appeared on him

Is he dead?

Toru Amuro searched through his memories and found that except for a greedy private detective who died that day, there were no other deaths.

And according to the law of black shadow, as long as it appears, it will cause rapid heart paralysis, leaving no chance of rescue.

But when this photo was taken, he and others were around, and Kinoshita Tomonori's physical condition did not show any abnormalities.

What is this

Toru Amuro frowned and couldn't think of the reason for a while.

But tomorrow I can send the photos to Yotsuya, who lives in the haunted apartment, and see if they can be processed first.

The next day, Valentine's Day.

Qin Zhibo got up, washed and watched the morning news as usual.

At nine o'clock in the morning, Toru Amuro went to work on time.

Of course, in the morning, Toru Amuro had already sent the photos to Yotsuya, who mastered ghost photography technology, as planned last night.

"Xiao An, tomorrow is Saturday, right?"

Faced with Qin Zhibo's sudden question, Toru Amuro was a little confused. Wasn't this question asked yesterday?

And do normal people ask questions about what day tomorrow is?

I usually ask what day it is today, right?

"Yes, tomorrow is Saturday."

Qin Zhibo confirmed the time again to prevent him from going to the Tou Shen Forest tomorrow.

But even if you determine the day of the week, you may miss the mark because you don’t know how many Saturdays there are in this week.

"Xiao An, I have to go on a long journey tomorrow. I expect to be back in one or two days. I'll ask you to look after the office."

"Don't worry, your efforts will not be in vain. I will double your salary next month."

Qin Zhibo's statement seems generous, but when zero is multiplied by any number, the result is zero.

Of course, what Toru Amuro cares about is not money, but what Qin Zhibo is going to do.

"Teacher, do you still have any commissions?"

"yes."

“But I don’t remember anyone coming to make an appointment.”

"We contacted by phone. I have handed out business cards in many high-end places before."

"Business card? Does the teacher have a business card?"

"Of course."

Qin Zhibo took out the business card he had customized before and handed one to Toru Amuro.

Toru Amuro took the business card. The name, phone number and address were written on the simple design without any unnecessary content.

Putting the business card in their arms, the two began their simple business routine.

In terms of daily commissions, Qin Zhibo and Maori Kogoro have different main businesses.

The Maori Detective Agency next door mainly accepts daily commissions for catching extramarital affairs.

Zhibo Detective Agency is mainly engaged in the business of finding lost pets and items.

On the one hand, it's because Qin Zhibo's ability to find pets is really good. Mihua Town is second to none, and he is known as the "Pet Detective" inside and outside the town.

On the other hand, Mouri Kogoro has become a wanderer since he became famous on TV. Nine times out of ten, he refuses to accept requests to find things.

Of course, nothing is absolute.

Mouri Kogoro has taken his sophistication of the world and his way of dealing with others to the extreme.

As long as the client's life experience is prominent enough, or the amount given is too much, Mouri Kogoro is also very willing to break the principle.

In contrast, Qin Zhibo's office is more civilian-oriented.

Although the charging standards for entrustment and consultation are not very user-friendly, the advantage is that no matter how big or small the entrustment is, we accept all requests.

It's just that Qin Zhibo often traveled on business, spending three days fishing and two days drying nets. It was not easy for the client to find Qin Zhibo.

Although an appointment book was left at the door, many of the daily requests were for urgent needs. There was no reason to make an appointment first and then wait a few days to resolve it.

But now with Toru Amuro, this has improved a lot.

People in the nearby neighborhood have been spreading rumors recently that the Zhibo Detective Agency has added a detective. He is young, handsome, gentle, and reliable. The most important thing is that he can handle large and small commissions.

I will never have to go to the Mori office again and be embarrassed by the Mori detective because the commission was too small!

Therefore, in the recent reputation reviews of residents in nearby neighborhoods, Zhibo Detective Agency has faintly surpassed Maori Detective Agency.

No, not long after the business opened, a client came to the door.

"Welcome, do you have anything you would like to consult or entrust?"

Amuro showed a standard smile when dealing with others, which flattered the middle-aged man outside.

The man scratched his head and said, "Um. I was introduced here. I would like to ask your help to find a missing watch."

"Okay, please come in first and we'll talk in detail."

Toru Amuro invited people to the sofa and prepared tea himself.

Qin Zhibo also walked over from behind the desk and observed this middle-aged man who looked like a big-mouthed monkey.

Hideo Goda, 49 years old, shop owner, social credit 1,100.

The basic identity information seemed fine, and Qin Zhibo formally asked the man's purpose.

It turns out that the watch the man is looking for is an old clockwork watch left by his wife who passed away not long ago.

Although it is not worth much, it is very memorable because it was an engagement gift given to my wife before.

"That watch should be lost somewhere at home now."

"My wife comes here every night to ask questions about her dreams."

"What time is it now - what time is it now -"

Goda's voice was low, imitating the voice of a ghost, trying to enhance the atmosphere.

But Qin Zhibo and Toru Amuro were not moved at all, the expressions on their faces seemed to say "Oh, so that's it."

Looking at the dull expressions of the two of them, Gouda felt a little uneasy in his heart, fearing that his commission would not impress the other party.

In fact, before coming here, Goda casually visited some roadside detective offices.

But all the offices rejected it on the grounds that the commission was too small. After all, I was just looking for something at home. It was not appropriate to charge too much commission fee. If the commission fee was too small, I would lose money.

It wasn't until Gouda heard from a neighbor about a nearby Zhibo detective agency, and the young detectives there accepted no matter how small the commission was, that Goda regained hope.

After all, if no detectives arrive, my next plan will not be implemented.

Qin Zhibo thought for a moment and said solemnly: "We have accepted this commission, but we also need to inform you of the firm's charging standards."

"The fee for finding items depends on the area and type of item. If you are in Mikka Town, the fee is 40,000 yen."

Generally speaking, it is easier to find a dead object than a living one.

But Qin Zhibo's situation is just the opposite. The price of finding items is twice as much as the price of finding pets.

Because looking for a specific pet usually has a photo, and the pet is unique, it is easier to find it with a finding spell.

However, unless the item is particularly valuable, there is usually no photo, and it is usually not unique, so it is difficult for the finding spell to work.

The price has doubled, which is normal.

Of course, Qin Zhibo does not need to explain these reasons one by one. The charging standards are set like this, and it is up to you whether you accept it or not.

After hearing Qin Zhibo's high price, Gouda looked a little troubled and glanced at the watch on his wrist.

Although the price was a bit expensive, I gritted my teeth and accepted it for the sake of my plan.

"40,000 is 40,000."

"Then please invite you two to come to my home. My home is near here."

Goda's home is in an apartment building in a nearby neighborhood.

As soon as you entered the entrance hall, you saw a vase of pink roses placed on the entrance cabinet.

Although today is Valentine's Day, judging from the wiltedness of the petals, this vase of flowers has been displayed for some time.

This apartment is about 70 square meters, which is not very large, but there are a lot of clutter, which makes it more difficult to find a watch.

In the largest room, thousands of video tapes line the shelves.

There is also a 50-inch TV, which is considered a super large screen in this era, and LD, DVD, AV amplifier, audio and other equipment are also available, and the remote control can be placed on a table.

"I like watching movies very much, so I collected a lot of things in this area"

Before Goda could finish his introduction, a bell rang outside the door.

"Wait a moment, I'll go take a look."

Goda heard the sound and left.

Qin Zhibo was looking forward to it and followed him to the corridor where he could see the door.

But when the door opened, the person standing outside was not the Conan Qin Zhibo was expecting.

This is a fat aunt wearing glasses. She has a short and chubby figure and is wearing a pink woolen coat. Her toad-like mouth has flaming red lips.

This extraordinary temperament and secure figure reminded Qin Zhibo of a famous figure in his previous life.

She is the one who talks about eardrums, great hearing care, and wealthy women who are professionals.

The fat aunt reached out and said, "Come on, are you ready?"

Gouda looked a little embarrassed and took out a wad of bills from his arms, "Finally, I got 5 million."

The fat aunt took the money and said politely: "5 million? In this case, it is still 15 million short?"

Gouda hurriedly apologized and said with a smile: "If you don't have enough money, I can get it when I sell this house."

The fat aunt then showed a bright smile, "Oh, I didn't mean to kick you out~"

"Where is it?"

Goda took out another video tape from his inner pocket that was like a treasure trove, "Thank you very much for your grace. I heard that you have been looking for this "Sakura Sanjuro" video tape before, and I finally found it."

"Really!" The fat aunt's eyes lit up and she immediately took the video tape from Gouda, "Then I'll just watch it on your big TV."

"Of course you're welcome, please."

Before Goda could finish his words, the fat aunt had already put on her slippers as if she had returned to her own home.

"In" Gouda looked a little embarrassed, but he still said the second word.

Qin Zhibo, who was standing in the corridor, saw this and understood that the relationship between the two was that of creditor and borrower.

It seems that Mihua also has simple folk customs, unlike the folk customs of the future, where creditors are like grandsons and those who owe money are like uncles.

The fat aunt passed by Qin Zhibo in an imposing manner. She just glanced at him and did not introduce her identity.

But when she walked next to Toru Amuro, the fat aunt's eyes lit up and she suddenly became interested.

"Who is this"

Without waiting for Gouda to introduce him, Toru Amuro introduced himself with a smile: "My name is Toru Amuro, and I'm here for a visit."

Tohru Amuro has more professional ethics and did not say that he was a detective, indirectly exposing the client's commission.

Seeing Toru Amuro's confident smile that seemed to be bathed in the sun, the fat aunt's eyes opened even wider, and the word "heartbeat" was written on her face.

She paused for a moment before introducing herself: "My name is Yue Yingzi, and I am the landlord of this entire apartment building."

"Little handsome boy, are you interested in going out to have a meal together later?"

Hearing this, Qin Zhibo almost burst out.

This eldest sister is really "lustful"!

Toru Amuro, who was attracted by the rich woman, was also startled for a moment, but then he recovered and responded with a polite smile.

"Thank you for your invitation, but I have other things to do next and I don't have time to accept your invitation."

Aunt Izuki had a suspicious expression on her face and asked, "Today is a bit special. Do you have a girlfriend?"

Toru Amuro still had a polite and gentle smile and shook his head, "No."

"Then leave your contact information and we can communicate when we have time in the future."

"Actually, I not only collect rent in this building, but I also own some properties in other places."

Aunt Izuki adheres to the spirit of people leaving their voices behind and geese plucking their hair when they pass by, so she must get something from Toru Amuro.

Show off your wealth without any taboo, this is a rhythm that needs to be taken care of!

And Toru Amuro didn't refuse. He wrote the phone number neatly on the paper and handed it to Aunt Izuki.

Aunt Izuki took one look at it, put the paper with the phone number on it carefully into her pocket, gave Toru Amuro a deep look, and went to the room to watch a movie alone.

This electric eye made even the bystander Qin Zhibo shudder.

But as the recipient, Toru Amuro was still smiling and looking calm.

For this reason, Qin Zhibo couldn't help but raise his hand and give Toru Amuro a thumbs up.

Toru Amuro was a little confused and asked, "What's wrong? Teacher?"

Qin Zhibo couldn't think of anything else to say, he could only admire him.

"You are so dirty"

Toru Amuro glanced at the room where Aunt Izuki was, and realized, "Teacher, are you talking about that aunt?"

“I’ve dealt with people like this often before, so I can deal with them easily.”

Toru Amuro didn't lie. One of his part-time jobs was as a nightclub bartender. His handsome appearance, unique skin color and hair made him the target of rich women more than once.

Even the owner of the bar has repeatedly advised Toru Amuro to become a cowherd without even having plastic surgery, and the money will be huge.

However, Toru Amuro is still relatively upright and did not fall into the sugar-coated bullets of rich women.

"And the phone number I left for her is the teacher's phone number."

Amuro Toru said another word, which shocked Qin Zhibo.

"Are you serious?"

"Of course it's true." Toru Amuro had a harmless smile on his face.

Qin Zhibo's brain was like a thunderbolt from the blue. He was so frightened that he quickly took out his mobile phone and turned it off, all at once.

Looking at Qin Zhibo's reaction, Toru Amuro was thoughtful.

Is Qin Zhibo's weakness the rich woman?

Thanks to Chaos and Nothingness for the reward!
