The Grammatical Investigator in Conan

Chapter 9 Research on Qin Zhibo’s Identity

There is a lot of information that can be analyzed with this photo, starting with when the photo was taken.

In 1977, that is, 19 years ago.

According to "Qin Zhibo"'s current age of 37 years old, minus 19 years, he is exactly 18 years old.

Among the three people taking part in the photo, only one is obviously the youngest. Judging from his face, he is about 18 years old.

Qin Zhibo immediately ran to the toilet with the photo and looked at his face in the toilet mirror.

Just now in Shuyu's house, Qin Zhibo had not had the chance to take a closer look at "his" face.

Overall, "my" face, which has not been carefully taken care of, is considered to be above average among the crowd. The oriental face also vaguely reveals some Western characteristics, similar to that of a mixed-race person.

Looking at himself in the mirror and comparing it with the young man in the photo, Qin Zhibo immediately determined that the youngest person in the photo was "himself".

The two people photographed with "himself" both appear to be in their early thirties.

One of them was wearing a brown duck-bill hat and had sparse stubble on his face. His face was well-defined and he had the unique temperament of a male fashion model.

The other person is more average, with a slightly rich face. The most obvious feature is that he wears a pair of square-framed glasses.

There is no doubt that these two people should be Haneda Yasuharu and Akai Mutake, but Qin Zhibo does not know who is Haneda Yasuharu and who is Akai Mutake.

After analyzing the general identities of the three people in the photo, Qin Zhibo began to look for clues in the background of the photo.

Qin Zhibo saw a dark American barbecue grill in the background on the left side of where the three of them were taking a group photo.

This kind of BBQ often appears in many scenes involving American family gatherings, so Qin Zhibo guessed that the scene in the photo should also be a family gathering.

In the whole photo, there are no other people walking around or Hai Zhijia.

Hawaii is a tourist destination, and the weather in the photo is very good, so it stands to reason that there won’t be tourists around.

This shows that this beach is probably a private place or specially rented.

In the background to the right of the three people, a woman lying on a beach chair can be seen in the distance.

The woman has light blond hair and wears a black bikini. Her snow-white skin and powerful body curves are clearly visible. However, due to the obstruction of sunglasses and the lack of clarity in the photo, Qin Zhibo could not see clearly what the woman looked like.

Behind the beach chair where the woman was sitting, there were two little heads sticking out slightly.

The two little heads were hiding on the left and right sides of the beach chair, with half of their heads exposed and looking cautiously in the direction of the group photo of the three of them.

Judging from the position where the two children poked their heads out, one of them was obviously much taller and probably older.

Qin Zhibo scanned other corners of the photo to confirm that there were no missing clues, and began to silently summarize the information in the photo in his mind.

"Qin Zhibo" is probably a pseudonym, Vince Qin is the real name.

The photo was taken at a family gathering on a private beach in Hawaii 19 years ago.

The participants of the party were at least "me", Yasharu Haneda, Taketake Akai, a woman with light blond hair, two children with an age difference, and the person who took the photo.

With an intelligence of 70, Qin Zhibo felt that his brain was able to sort out clues very clearly. Even without relying on systematic investigation capabilities, he could analyze a lot of information from a simple group photo in a clear and logical manner.

After looking at the first photo, Qin Zhibo picked up the second photo.

The second photo is still a photo of "myself" with others, in which "myself" has become more mature, holding a framed certificate in his hands, with a formal occasion in the background.

But what shocked Qin Zhibo the most was the clothes he wore.

On the chest of the blue jacket are the letters FBI written boldly in yellow fonts.

The person standing on the right side of "myself" looks like the boss who awarded him a certificate regardless of his position, posture, or age.

This person has a kind face, a British-style police chief's mustache, and a pair of black-rimmed glasses.

Turning to the back of the photo, there is still a line of penciled description.

Shooting competition souvenir.

Qin Zhibo calculated in his mind that he was 25 years old in 1984.

In other words, the 25-year-old "self" has a professional identity as an FBI investigator.

Now, Qin Zhibo finally understood why he had the professional skill of firearms.

With the last envelope left, Qin Zhibo quickly took the letter paper out of the envelope and read the contents.

This letter is written in Japanese and is only a few sentences long.

Thank you very much for your help, but the next step is not an area you should touch.

But if you insist on finding the truth, then come to Japan.

After arriving in Japan, please contact Hondo Eikai at: ▇▇▇▇▇

The numbers behind the phone number on the letter paper were artificially blacked out, and Qin Zhibo couldn't tell what kind of number it was.

There was no information about the sender or recipient on the envelope, it was just a blank envelope.

But on the back of the envelope, Qin Zhibo still found a useful clue.

That is the manufacturing date in the lower right corner of the back of the envelope. The year is 1992, which is four years ago.

Then, Qin Zhibo pulled out the last drawer.

The contents of this drawer are very simple, only a dozen postcards.

Qin Zhibo glanced through them briefly, and found that they were all postcards with scenery photos of the Hawaiian Islands as the theme, and there was no text written on them.

Qin Zhibo put all the photos, letters, and postcards back into their original places, and rethought the situation he had learned so far.

1. I am a Japanese-American, my real name is Vince Chin.

2. There are two Japanese friends with clear names, Yasuharu Haneda and Taketake Akai.

3. There is a high probability of living in Hawaii before adulthood, otherwise you would not have a large number of Hawaii postcards.

4. Studied at Miskatonic University in college.

5. He once worked for the FBI, is a good shooter, and has a boss worth taking a photo with.

6. In order to investigate a certain truth, under the guidance of someone, he came to Japan at most four years ago and established a detective agency under the pseudonym Qin Zhibo.

7. There is a person who needs to be contacted, this person is Yinghai, but there is a high probability that he has not been contacted, otherwise "I" would not have kept this letter until now.

After sorting out these seven identities in his mind, Qin Zhibo had to admit that he seemed to be possessed by a "troublesome" guy.

The American FBI lurking in Japanese society

Could it be a spy?

Qin Zhibo carefully thought about what happened today. First of all, it was a bit unreasonable for him to appear in Shuyu's house.

The people attending the banquet at Souha's house tonight are either rich or noble, or they are celebrities like the high school detective. Why would I, a person with only 1,200 social credits, appear among them?

In addition, there are large transfers of unknown origin in the passbook.

The more Qin Zhibo thought about it, the worse he felt in his heart, as if he had secretly confirmed his identity as a SPY.
