The Grammatical Investigator in Conan

Qin Zhibo looked at the basic information on the man's head. Behind his name it was clearly written: James Blake.

This is clearly not Randy Hoke.

But what surprised Qin Zhibo even more was that this person turned out to be the original owner of his body, the person in one of the only two photos he kept.

In the drawer of Tomohiro Detective Agency, there are two photos that the original owner has kept. One is a photo taken with Haneda Yasuharu and Akai Motake on the beach in Hawaii.

Another photo is of me participating in something like an FBI internal shooting competition, and the person in front of me is awarding me a certificate.

Qin Zhibo remembers the British Sheriff Hu and black-rimmed glasses very clearly.

So this person is the FBI?

At this time, Dr. Ali's voice interrupted Qin Zhibo's thoughts, "Mr. Qin, how do you know this person is not Randy Hawke?"

Qin Zhibo chose a credible statement and responded: "Because the faces of this person and that person in the photo are different in many details, it is obvious that they are two people."

Conan quickly took the introduction brochure from Bumi's hand, carefully compared the photo with the foreigner interviewed by the reporter, and found some differences.

For example, Randy Hoke's beard is dark brown, while that person's beard is light brown. The foreigner interviewed has fewer wrinkles on his face and higher cheekbones. The real Randy Hoke's face is more stocky.

Conan closed the introduction manual and looked at Qin Zhibo, with surprise and a hint of admiration in his eyes.

Just by glancing at the photo, you can quickly tell from this distance that he is not the person in the photo. He is indeed a former FBI.

In addition to Qin Zhibo's terrifying observation skills, Conan speculated that this ability to quickly identify people through photos should be acquired from the FBI.

After all, the FBI often needs to catch criminals through photos. If he is face-blind and looks like a criminal to everyone, he may cause a lot of trouble.

Since learning from Kudo Yusaku that Qin Zhibo is a former FBI, Conan has a reasonable explanation for the origin of many of Qin Zhibo's skills.

Using Qin Zhibo as a reference, Conan feels that the current FBI ability should not be bad, and he is proficient in reasoning, bomb disposal, observation, fighting, and firearms.

Unlike the Japanese police, although Conan publicly stated many times that the Japanese police were very reliable when he was still Kudo Shinichi, in fact, many of the choices he made when faced with cases were not choices he believed the Japanese police would make.

She is verbally supportive, but physically she is very honest and honestly does not believe in the Japanese police.

"Since that uncle is not Randy Hawke, let's go over and rescue him."

"Great!"

"Young Detective Team, let's go!"

Just when Qin Zhibo wanted to stop him, Conan had already led the three little ones to help others. Hui Yuan Ai thought for two seconds and walked over with his arms crossed.

Dr. A Li saw Qin Zhibo raising his hand slightly and asked in confusion: "Mr. Qin, do you have anything to say?"

"without"

Qin Zhibo slowly put down his hand, feeling a little uneasy.

Different from the FBI named Shuichi Akai that I met before, this FBI has known him a long time ago, and seems to have a good relationship with the "original owner", otherwise the "original owner" would not only keep two photos, but also Leave that one alone.

Theoretically speaking, I should try to avoid meeting close friends of the "original owner", but now after such a long time, I have almost adapted to my current identity.

And even if this James Blake saw him, he probably wouldn't talk to him about the past in this situation.

After the last bus hijacking incident, Judy and Akai Shuichi met in a car. At that time, there was an old voice named "James" in the car.

Now it seems that this James should be the one in front of him.

He is with the FBI named Akai Shuichi. He infiltrated Japan to perform some secret mission. They should not do anything to reveal their identity.

Therefore, after analysis, the most likely possibility is that the two were passers-by pretending not to know each other.

Things turned out as Qin Zhibo expected.

When Conan and Sanxiao rescued James from the reporters by calling him "Grandpa, Grandpa", James was stunned for the first time when he saw Qin Zhibo.

But then, he looked away and looked down at the Young Detective Team with a kind smile.

"Kids, thank you."

"Fortunately, you helped me out just now. Although people have often said that I look like Mr. Hawke before, this is the first time I have encountered such a situation."

Although James' eyes fell on these children, his brain was thinking about the unexpected situation of "meeting Vince Qin".

Former FBI investigator Vince Qin is now in Japan, using the pseudonym "Qin Zhibo" and becoming a private detective.

He had already learned about this situation from Akai Shuichi, and now that he was encountering it head-on, although it was unexpected, it was also reasonable.

James still has feelings for the former colleague in front of him. He has many things to say and ask, but the current situation does not allow it.

Not only the idlers nearby, but also the extremely dangerous task of investigating the black organization.

After Shuichi Akai went to Judy's residence last time to support him, Shuichi Akai said that he and Vince Chin had reached a certain consensus that the other party would not affect the FBI's operations in Japan.

In other words, I just need to pretend to be an ordinary passerby.

"Haha, my favorite performance is Hawke's Wonderful Circus. Their performance is so exciting! I am their loyal fan!"

"Besides, I don't want to miss this thing~"

Speaking Japanese with a slightly strange accent, James smiled and took out the white lion Lyon pendant of the same style as Ayumi, Haihara Ai, and Qin Zhibo from his arms, and showed it to everyone, like an old naughty boy who still has a childlike innocence.

"In order to buy this thing, I came to Japan specially!"

In front of Qin Zhibo, James specifically emphasized his purpose of coming to Japan, which also implied that he was now an ordinary tourist.

Conan didn't realize James' deep meaning, but Qin Zhibo understood it and chose to go with it naturally.

Seeing that the white lion Leon's mobile phone pendant was so popular, Ayumi said very innocently: "That's great! Xiao Ai, Uncle Qin and I also bought this mobile phone pendant~"

Hearing this, James was startled for a moment, raised his head and looked at Qin Zhibo aside, feeling a little moved in his heart.

After so many years, Vince Qin still remembered his little hobby and actually wanted to buy it for him.

Collecting such small peripheral items is James's little hobby. In the past, Vince Qin would also get some peripheral items for him, such as a small pendant depicting a twisted five-pointed star.

I came here to watch the circus show today while I was waiting for Shuichi Akai to come and join me.

"By the way, I made an appointment with a friend who promised to come see me. Did you see a tall man with short hair?"

James seemed to be collecting clues from everyone equally, but in fact, his eyes finally fell on Qin Zhibo.

Before the Young Detective Team and Dr. Ali could come up with anything, Qin Zhibo shook his head decisively, "I haven't seen it before."

Qin Zhibo's decisive attitude caused Conan to complain a little in his heart.

Are there too many people who fit the profile of short hair and tall people? It's strange that one asked such a general question and the other answered so quickly.

What Conan didn't know was that this was a tacit understanding between the two FBI investigators. Qin Zhibo had already guessed that James was talking about Shuichi Akai.

But he really didn't see Akai Shuichi just now.

"Oh, thank you then."

After learning Qin Zhibo's accurate answer, James hesitated, thinking that this opportunity was rare, and suggested: "By the way, knowing you is considered fate, so let me treat you to dinner."

“I know a restaurant that has really good food and is well worth a try.”

"Great!" The three little ones immediately exclaimed with excitement. Not counting the circus tickets, they were also able to get a big meal for free. They were so happy.

"Then it's settled. Did you drive here?"

"Yeah." Dr. A Li looked a little embarrassed, "But there are too many of us, I'm afraid there is no room for you."

James smiled kindly, "That's not a problem. I also rent a car myself. What about this gentleman? Did he also drive here?"

James' eyes turned to Qin Zhibo, his eyes quite meaningful.

Qin Zhibo also saw what he meant. As long as he answered that he didn't drive here, he could naturally sit in the same car with him, creating an opportunity for the two of them to talk.

He offered to invite everyone to the restaurant to have dinner in order to find a chance to talk to him. After all, having these children and old people as cover was the most perfect umbrella for espionage activities.

However, Qin Zhibo didn't want to have too private communication with James, and he couldn't directly refuse to go to the restaurant, which would easily arouse suspicion.

In order to avoid revealing his identity, Qin Zhibo decided to drive himself.

"Yes, I drove here."

[The other party refuses to have in-team voice communication with you]

"Oh" a trace of regret flashed in James's eyes, "Then the place where I park is in that direction. You guys wait for me here for a while. I'll come back as soon as I go."

James' back walked towards another parking lot, which was different from the one where Qin Zhibo and Dr. A Li were.

As he walked up the steps and across the overpass, James Blake planned in his mind how to create an opportunity to have a private conversation with Vince Qin later.

The two hadn't seen each other for four years, and James had accumulated a lot of things he wanted to say to his former colleague.

For example, why did someone who worked well at the FBI suddenly resign and come to Japan to work as a private detective?

Although the FBI's salary was lower than that of a detective in Japan, he remembered that Vince Qin had a family shooting range in Hawaii and it was running well.

But no matter what, respect his choice.

After all, before he resigned, Shuichi Akai, who had been trained with all his strength, had succeeded him and became the new ace of the FBI.

James Blake came to the parking lot, put a few coins into the coin-operated parking fee machine, and was opening the door of the van when a hand from behind patted his shoulder.

James thought it was Qin Zhibo who came over with an excuse, and he felt happy, but when he looked back, he saw two men he didn't recognize.

One has a square face and the other has a long face. They are wearing light-colored windbreakers, the look of Japanese civil servants.

"We are police officers. Is this your car?"

James looked at the unopened police manual in the other person's hand and replied: "Yes, this is my rental car."

"Is that so?" The square-faced man put away the police manual. "To be honest, this is a stolen car. The owner reported it to the police as missing a week ago. Please do it now."

The square-faced man's tone is very official, and James, who is FBI, is more familiar with it.

But what he is more familiar with is that the FBI's overseas funds are not that tight. Moreover, in order to avoid unnecessary interactions with the Japanese police, the details of every car are clearly checked. It is absolutely impossible to rent a stolen car. of.

they are fake police

By the time the square-faced man finished speaking about the routine summons, James had already made a basic judgment in his heart.

However, since the other party is dressed as a policeman, he must have a gun in his hand. If you resist now, you may be asking for trouble, so it is best to follow their ideas.

Led by two fake police officers, James had to walk towards the fake police car parked aside and use the pendant he just bought to leave a code.

When he was about to get into the police car, he deliberately used words that he wanted to talk to his friends nearby to force the fake policeman to reveal his true colors.

"Stop talking nonsense, just go in and it'll be fine!"

James was hit in the back and was forced into the police car, but he naturally threw the white lion pendant to the ground.

Click.

Although the fake police officer saw the pendant dropped on the ground, he didn't think it had any effect, so he left the pendant where it was and left with peace of mind.

As everyone knows, clues of guidance have been quietly left behind.

James Blake, who was sitting in the police car, held his bitten fingers and thought to himself.

Qin, although you have resigned, you still want to let me see you again...

Let’s see if you, the former FBI ace, can still make a living?

Here, Qin Zhibo and others waited for more than 20 minutes.

Cars came and went on the street, but James never appeared again.

"It's really weird. After waiting for such a long time, shouldn't you regret it and drive away alone?"

Guangyan raised reasonable suspicions, but Qin Zhibo knew that James would definitely come back. After all, what good would it do to him to play with a former colleague who holds their information?

Qin Zhibo turned on the navigator in his mind, and the electronic map on it showed that the parking lot in James' direction was not far away.

"The parking lot is nearby. Dr. Agasa stays here. Let's go take a look together."

Taking the initiative to bring the young detective team with him also prevented James from tempting him to go to the parking lot to talk alone.

After crossing the overpass and entering an alley, a few people arrived at the parking lot.

However, after searching for a long time, several people did not see James. Instead, they found a van with the white lion Lyon on top of the dashboard.

"This should be Mr. James's car, right?" Conan said.

Qin Zhibo walked around the car and found that the door was open and the car key was inserted in the door. It seemed that he left in a hurry, which was not the FBI's style.

Qin Zhibo thought about it and guessed in his heart.

Could it be that he was "received" by the hospitable rice flower people because he looked like Randy Hawke?
