The Grammatical Investigator in Conan

"Team Little One?"

"Eh?!"

As soon as the three little ones heard such a frustrating team name, they all wanted to protest to Suzuki Sonoko.

Yuanzi laughed loudly, "Haha! Don't worry, I haven't signed up for you yet~"

"Let's go to the registration office first."

The group followed Yuanzi to the equipment office to collect fishing gear, and then went to the registration office to register.

"Miss Sonoko is here, is there something wrong?"

The man at the registration desk saw the sponsor's father coming and immediately stood up to greet him.

Yuanzi introduced Qin Zhibo, Mao Lilan and others, and learned that this man was Junichi Shui of the Secretariat, who was responsible for coordinating the fishing competition.

After hearing Qin Zhibo's name, Shuijing, who was standing behind the table just now, immediately came around and shook hands with Qin Zhibo excitedly, his expression warm.

"It turns out to be Mr. Qin Zhibo, the famous detective. I have admired his name for a long time!"

"Your presence in this fishing competition will definitely excite all the contestants!"

Qin Zhibo was a little surprised by this enthusiastic attitude.

Although my current social credit is 8,200 and I am a celebrity, from the other party's tone, it seems that I am regarded as the official guest of the competition.

Yuanzi also felt that Shuijing had some misunderstandings, and quickly said: "Mr. Qin is not a guest. He came specially to experience the fishing competition, right?"

Qin Zhibo smiled and nodded: "Well, Yuanzi is right." I came here specifically to solve the case.

"That's it." Shuijing quickly adjusted his condition and said with a smile, "It doesn't matter, just sign up here."

Everyone wrote their names, addresses, and contact numbers in the signature book.

As for the name of the team that Yuanzi mentioned, this fishing competition is an individual competition and there is no such thing as a team.

However, considering that these little ones were unlikely to achieve any good results, Yuanzi still satisfied their chuunibyou soul.

The names of the four little ones are combined into a "Young Detective Team", and the results of the four people can also be counted together.

Next, Shuijing explained that the main fish in the waters of Lake Aogu is pangasius, so the competition in this fishing competition is the number of grams of pangasius caught.

The competition lasts for two days, and the winner is the one with the most fishing scores added up over the two days.

During this period, you can fish in the waters and flow paths surrounding Lake Aogu.

However, the caught pangasius is not allowed to be killed or taken away. It can only be placed in the fish guard. Only the largest 5 fish are allowed to be left after the daily competition. They are brought back to the competition staff to count the grams and then released.

Finally, the prize for the winner of the competition is 10 million yen.

"10 million! How many servings of eel rice is that?"

Upon hearing this number, the excited Yuantai took out his fingers to count, but it was obvious that counting the toes was not enough.

Ayumi and Mitsuhiko were also ignited by this number and started gearing up.

A rich second generation like Conan is not very interested in this string of numbers. It is just his own alimony for a period of time.

Although Mao Lilan was a little shocked by this number, he didn't really want to participate in the competition.

Mao Lilan knew that she was not good at fishing, so she came out mainly to relax with her best friends and children.

Ever since she narrowly escaped death in the "Cocoon" game last time, Yuanzi has been feeling very guilty.

If he hadn't given up his game qualification to Mao Lilan, Mao Lilan wouldn't have almost died in the game.

But Mao Lilan herself felt that it didn't matter, and she comforted Yuanzi several times not to take it to heart.

Just when Mao Lilan was thinking about just putting on her fishing gear and taking a walk with Yuanzi, Qin Zhibo came over and asked, "Xiaolan, are you interested in cooperating?"

"Cooperation?" Mao Lilan was a little surprised, "Cooperation for what? Mr. Qin"

"Of course it's cooperative fishing!"

In fact, Qin Zhibo was a little excited when he heard about the 10 million bonus.

It took me a year and more than a month to save 30 million in assets, but just winning a fishing competition would cost me 10 million.

Although I am not short of money now, facing such a huge amount of wealth from a legitimate source, and having the opportunity to get it easily, is there any reason to not want it?

Money, the more the merrier.

Although I have no skills related to fishing, to put it bluntly, this kind of competition to see who can catch the biggest fish is nothing more than luck in the end.

There is skill but no luck, and no big fish will bite the hook even if you sit there for a whole day.

Although she has no luck, Mao Lilan is the goddess of luck, the kind who can change her fate against the odds.

As long as he can hug Mao Lilan's thigh, maybe he can

Before Mao Lilan could answer, Yuanzi coughed twice.

"Ahem, as the organizer, I can't pretend not to hear this."

"Two people fishing together is not allowed in the competition."

"Yes, yes, uncle is cheating!" The three little ones also jumped on their feet to protest.

But of course Qin Zhibo would not cheat openly in front of Yuanzi and the children, and a decent person like Mao Lilan would certainly not do this either.

"Don't worry, we are just fishing together in the same place, and the grams will be calculated separately at that time."

"Isn't that a foul?"

Yuanzi thought for a while, but there was nothing in the competition rules that prohibited contestants from fishing in the same place.

But the average fisherman will try to avoid being in the same water area with others, right?

Seeing Yuanzi's acquiescence, Qin Zhibo turned to look at Mao Lilan, with the attitude of Goddess of Luck now.

Mao Lilan thought about it and originally didn't want to participate, but since Qin Zhibo had already invited him, he agreed.

"Okay, Mr. Qin."

"Let's start with bait selection first."

The bait provided by the organizer was placed on the ground. Because they wanted to emphasize the fairness of the competition, they were all lures that are difficult to catch fish in the river.

Mao Lilan looked at the various lures, thought for a moment, and chose a small blue fake fish.

Qin Zhibo followed suit and chose the same style.

The three little ones were very interested in all kinds of bait. The green frog and the purple squid didn't know what to choose for a while.

At this time, a woman wearing professional outdoor clothing came over and took the initiative to say hello to the three little ones.

"You guys are also contestants."

"Yeah! We will definitely win!" Yuantai boasted directly to Haikou without drafting it.

"Oh~" The woman raised her chin, pretending to face a strong enemy, "Then you must be a strong enemy~"

The woman and the three little ones chatted happily and seemed very familiar with them.

Qin Zhibo, who was not far away, looked at the woman, vaguely feeling that she looked a bit like the female anchor on the morning news every day, Shui Wu Liannai.

It's just that the ends of Mizuno Reina's hair hanging down on her forehead are curly, while this woman's hair is straight.

And the name above this woman's head is "Ayukawa Saori".

Ayukawa's name sounds like someone who is very good at fishing.

Most Japanese surnames are rather crude and are generally based on the family's geographical location or occupation at the time.

Ayukawa is probably next to the mountain river Osawa where there are many catfish.

The special addition of the word "catfish" instead of the surname "Dachuan" should indicate that the woman's ancestors are related to "fishing".

Coupled with the leisurely and contented look on this woman's face as she glanced at the contestants, this was definitely a formidable team in the fishing competition.

At this moment, a man held a camera and took a photo of Saori Natikawa, who was shaking hands with the three little ones, without forgetting to tease her.

"The last champion and the little angler...this is a rare and good photo~"

Saori Nagawa turned her head and glanced at the man taking the photo with her beautiful profile, with a trace of resistance evident in her eyes.

But she didn't say anything, she just cheered for the three little ones, then left with the fishing gear on her back.

The man who took the photo also held the camera and left in the same direction.

Qin Zhibo noticed the message on the man's head, his name was Funaki Toshihiko, and he was a reporter.

reporter? The unscrupulous kind?

In this world of vengeance, being an unscrupulous reporter will not end well.

Judging from the look in the eyes of the woman named Natikawa when she looked at him, it seemed that the two of them had some stories to tell.

Qin Zhibo looked in the direction of Nichuan, but the reporter did not follow him and started to pester him, and walked away in another direction.

On the contrary, Nimagawa was walking with a pretty boy named Uruyu Takuya, and the two seemed to be talking and laughing.

Yuanzi next to him saw the direction of Qin Zhibo's gaze and thought that Qin Zhibo had some evil thoughts. The spirit of gossip in his heart ignited and he raised his eyebrows basely.

"Uncle, are you interested in that fishing girl?"

Conan squinted: Still such a bitch...

Upon hearing this, Shuijing from the Secretariat also introduced it in a "currently aware" manner.

"Miss Nagawa was last year's winner, and the person walking with her was the winner of the competition the year before. The two of them have a good relationship..."

"It turns out those two people are so powerful..." Mao Lilan, who decided to seriously participate in the fishing competition, couldn't help but sigh.

Qin Zhibo thought it didn't matter, Mao Lilan would take action anyway.

…

After everyone has chosen bait and packed away their fishing gear, the competition officially begins.

Since only 10 fish need to be caught in the two-day competition, and the grams of fish will be counted at the end, there is plenty of time and everyone can choose their own fishing spots leisurely.

Qin Zhibo and Mao Lilan formed a team, so they naturally wanted to go together.

The three little ones, who had a strong sense of competition, didn't want to fish in the same place as the adults. Conan's addiction to popular science started again, and he said that pangasius fish like to move around in places with aquatic plants and dead wood, so the three little ones formed a group and wanted to change places.

"Since Conan said it, let's go to a place with a lot of aquatic plants! We will definitely catch a huge fish!"

"Okay!"×2

Ayumi's suggestion immediately received responses from Mitsuhiko and Genta, but Conan on the side was dumbfounded.

These guys actually think they can be the winner of the fishing competition!

Although the fishing scores of Yuanzi's four elementary school students can be counted together, Conan still knows how much he and his fellow students weigh, and basically can only rely on themselves.

But I never learned to fish in Hawaii!

I went fishing with Dr. Agasa and Kogoro Mori a few times before, but my fishing score was not good either, about 0.

Speaking of which, a profession like detectives that requires mobility is fundamentally inconsistent with an old-fashioned sport like fishing, right?

Conan, who knew that he was not good at fishing, found excuses for his "dish".

Moreover, Conan wants to follow Qin Zhibo, and maybe he can get detailed information about Akai Shuichi from his mouth.

"I want to talk to uncle and Xiaolan..."

"Stop talking so much, let's go quickly! Conan! If you go late, those big fish will be caught by the adults..."

Before Conan finished speaking, Mitsuhiko and Genta each grabbed an arm and dragged Conan away.

Mao Lilan, who was walking in the other direction, looked back, "Huh? I seem to have heard what Conan was going to say...is it an illusion?"

Qin Zhibo smiled and nodded, "Yes, it's an illusion."

…

Qin Zhibo and Mao Lilan each carried fishing gear on their backs and walked along the runoff bank of Aogu Lake, looking for the best fishing spot.

He stopped when he reached a secluded place where there were no other anglers.

"Mr. Qin, how about staying here?"

"Okay, it's up to you."

The two came to the runoff, found two places suitable for sitting, and started fishing.

Fishing is a boring sport most of the time, especially in this era before smartphones. The process of waiting for the fish to take the bait can only be done by looking at the water, which is very boring.

Moreover, nesting is not allowed in this competition. If you want the fish to take the bait, it is even more...

"A fish is hooked!"

Qin Zhibo was thinking about it when Mao Lilan, not far away, suddenly shouted excitedly.

Looking in the direction of Mao Lilan, the fishing line was stretched straight, and the part submerged under the water seemed to be pulled by some strong presence.

Faced with this situation, Mao Lilan's arms began to accumulate strength, and he chanted the standard phrases before exploding.

"Well--"

"ha!"

As the second sound erupted, the seemingly fragile arms were lifted hard, and the terrifying explosive force instantly pulled the pangasius fish out of the water!

The huge pangasius fish flew in mid-air, like a carp jumping out of the water, showing a perfect parabola and landing on the ground.

This amazing fishing scene may only appear in comics, but now it is happening in reality.

"Great! I caught it!"

Mao Lilan put down the fishing rod in his hand and picked up the pangasius fish twitching randomly on the ground.

Qin Zhibo ran over and was dumbfounded at first glance.

"Is this fish at least 2.5 kilograms?"

"Really?" Mao Lilan held the big fish in her arms and showed a silly and sweet smile, "I don't know either~"

Qin Zhibo: "..."

This girl's fishing skills have no skills at all, it's all brute force.

However, the fishing line that can withstand Mao Lilan's torture and still keep coming, couldn't be produced in the rice flower area, right?

…

Next, Mao Lilan caught three more big fish in just one hour, and this was after all the smaller pangasius fish were released.

As for Qin Zhibo, the fishing rod has been placed on the shelf as quietly as if the old monk had fallen into trance and has not moved at all.

...It’s okay even if it’s just a little bit!

My nm is upstream!

Is this the difference between luck? All the fish calmly passed by their own bait to bite Mao Lilan's bait?

Qin Zhibo had imagined this situation in advance, but he didn't expect it to be so thorough.

Fortunately, Qin Zhibo had already prepared Plan B.

He stood up from his seat and shouted to Mao Lilan, who was not far away.

"Xiaolan! Look at the fishing rod for me, and I'll go take a look around..."
