The Grammatical Investigator in Conan

After dinner, several people sat around on the sofa and continued to discuss stalkers.

Mizuki Reina then said that she had heard a noise coming from next door, and when she opened the door to check, she saw a figure running out of the apartment next door.

But the apartment next door has not been rented out for half a year because something bad happened before.

This clue made everyone more certain that the stalker had the spare key to the next door.

At this time, Qin Zhibo put forward his own ideas.

"Since the stalker plans to ring the doorbell tomorrow morning, there's a chance he's next door now..."

"If I knock on the door now, maybe there's someone inside?"

When Mouri Kogoro heard this, he thought it was a good idea, so he stood up and took everyone out to discuss it with the neighbor next door.

…

Arriving next door, Mouri Kogoro reached out and pressed the doorbell, but there was no movement.

The apartment has not been occupied for half a year, and the battery of the doorbell has not been replaced. It has long been out of power.

Mouri Kogoro knocked on the door manually again and twisted the door handle, but there was still no movement inside.

"Sure enough, the door is locked. It would be great if we could go in. Maybe we could find out some clues about that man..."

Mouri Kogoro's words reminded Conan who was standing behind.

Entering through the door is not the only way to enter a house like this.

While Maori and others were still discussing whether they could call the manager of the apartment, Conan silently returned to Rena Minami's apartment and came to the balcony.

As he expected, for the convenience of fire escape, there is only a trapezoidal partition between the balconies here, which is easy to climb over.

Just as he was looking left and right, looking for something to stand on tiptoes to help his short stature climb over the railing, a bench slid next to him in time.

"Um?"

Conan looked at the bench at his feet, stunned for a moment, then turned to look at the kind man who handed him the bench, who turned out to be Qin Zhibo.

I saw Qin Zhibo smiling, "Aren't you looking for someone who stands on tiptoe?"

Conan looked at the man in front of him, feeling unspeakably awkward in his heart.

He really wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to be alone and ask what kind of "organization" it was and whether it was the organization he knew.

If so, can you share the information you know?

But when he thought that Qin Zhibo might make fun of him, he might even be more vigilant about tomorrow, which would block his possibility of obtaining all the information.

Forget it, you still have to rely on yourself to obtain information.

You must rely on yourself as a human being!

"Thank you, uncle."

Conan smiled and thanked Qin Zhibo, and then went to "break into private houses".

Qin Zhibo looked at Conan, a child criminal, with no intention of stopping him.

Because he had asked Minase Youmeng to go through the wall to the next door during dinner to confirm that there was no one in the next room, and there was no trace of anyone living there for a long time.

Qin Zhibo proposed to let Mao Li and others go find someone next door, and sent Conan away because Qin Zhibo wanted to walk around Shui Wu Lina's house alone.

With limited time, Qin Zhibo quickly came to the innermost bedroom, which was Shui Wu Lina's bedroom.

When you open the door, your first impression is that the bedroom is very neat, but also too ordinary.

There is a single bed covered with light blue sheets, with a desk and a large wardrobe next to it.

There are a few books and magazines on the desk, as well as a picture frame.

Inside the photo frame were not family photos or landscape photos, but photos of Rena Minami reporting on the scene alone.

In the photo, Reina Mizuno looks younger than she does now. She is wearing a dark jacket and a fire truck can be seen putting out a fire in the background.

Apart from these, there are no personal items that reflect personal preferences.

Qin Zhibo reached out and turned off the light in the room, and the room instantly fell into darkness.

But in this darkness, there is still a glimmer of unnatural light that seems a bit abrupt.

【Survey√】

[This is a monitor, the radio effect is good]

The monitor is located in the gap between the chandelier and the ceiling. It is almost embedded in the wall. It would not be easy to find it if it were not guided by the light from the investigation point.

Qin Zhibo frowned slightly, feeling something was wrong.

This method of installing monitors is no longer like an ordinary stalker. The method is very professional, and the number of monitors is too many.

During a normal stroll at Shui Wu Lina's house, Qin Zhibo had already found bugs in the living room and kitchen.

Qin Zhibo turned on the light in the room, went to the second bedroom and investigated in the same way, and found another bug.

In this way, the entire apartment was under surveillance except the toilet.

But if you are a perverted stalker, the sounds in the toilet should be the ones you want to hear the most, right?

…

Qin Zhibo returned to the living room with doubts, and the Maori people who had returned without success also returned to the entrance.

Mouri Kogoro originally wanted to ask the apartment manager to get the key to open the door, but Reina Mizuno said that she had already troubled the manager about this matter last time, and he was afraid that the other party would not provide the key again.

The administrator is a stubborn old man, and even with the reputation bonus of a famous detective, he will not make it any easier.

However, Conan, who returned from the balcony next door, found a clue.

"Uncle, I saw someone writing something like this on the window of the balcony next door..."

Conan tore off a piece of paper from the notebook in his arms and wrote "Ki Miwa" on the paper.

"Wood, beauty, harmony? What does this refer to?"

Mouri Kogoro held the piece of paper and used his brain's associative ability, "Beauty? Japanese cuisine? Thursday?"

Mouri Kogoro played charades and guessed possible Japanese words based on the pronunciation of these words.

Qin Zhibo glanced at the three words on the piece of paper and did not see the investigation point.

This shows that these are not secret words, but three words with simple meanings.

Suddenly, Qin Zhibo remembered that if people from the FBI had been monitoring Mizuno Reina recently, it would be possible to see who the person in the next room was.

Just as he was about to go out and call to inquire, he felt something was wrong again.

If the FBI wanted to monitor Reina Mizuna, the building facing the balcony would obviously be able to capture more information. The living room, entrance, balcony, and master bedroom could all be seen at a glance.

But in fact, the FBI chose to conduct surveillance on the side of the building facing the apartment door.

From that place, apart from the entrance to Rena Mizuna's house, she could only see an unused second bedroom through the window.

Why didn't the FBI choose to conduct surveillance in the building facing the balcony?

Unless there was some reason why they couldn't choose to monitor the building opposite the balcony.

"Could it be something the police wrote down?"

Qin Zhibo's sudden voice calmed the others in the discussion.

"You mean the person who wrote this word is a policeman?" Mouri Kogoro asked with a frown.

"I just think it's possible..."

Since the FBI cannot monitor the building on the balcony side, it is possible that someone is also monitoring the building on that side. The buildings on both sides are facing each other and can easily be discovered.

If the person monitoring here is a policeman, then it is even more necessary to avoid his edge.

“But would anyone in the Metropolitan Police Department write ‘Kimiwa’?”

Mouri Kogoro rubbed his chin, not quite believing Qin Zhibo's conjecture.

But Qin Zhibo + Mouri Kogoro's words reminded Conan on the side.

"Maybe it really is~"

Mao Lilan bent down and asked curiously: "Who is it?"

"How about I call that person and ask?" Conan took out his flip phone and dialed an old acquaintance from the First Investigation Class.

After a while, the other person picked up the phone.

"I am Megure."

"Officer Megure, it's me."

Officer Megure, who was far away in the Metropolitan Police Department, was startled. When he heard the childish voice, his expression immediately became happy, as if he had received some surprise gift while working overtime.

"It turns out to be Conan! What case happened?"

"..."

Conan was speechless. Why should the phone call he made be connected with the "case"?

"This is not a case. I just want to talk to Officer Takagi."

"Oh..." Megure lost his mood for a moment and was about to transfer the call to the line on Takagi's desk.

But after staring at the many buttons on the phone for a few seconds, he gave up the struggle and instead greeted him verbally.

"Takagi, your phone number is on the front line!"

Takagi, who was chatting with his colleagues not far away, heard his boss's greeting and subconsciously turned around to pick up the phone.

But as soon as he picked up the phone, he remembered that Memu could directly switch the call to the internal line and let him answer it, so that he didn't have to greet him verbally.

"Memu Police Department, haven't I already taught you how to cut the internal line on the phone?"

Takagi's face was full of doubts, and Megumi also smiled awkwardly to express his helplessness.

Can you blame him?

For him, learning to use electronic devices is even more difficult and brain-burning than solving murder cases.

"Don't worry about it, Conan is calling you."

Takagi glanced at Officer Megure helplessly, knowing that this would probably be the case for him for the rest of his life.

Takagi answered the phone, and Conan's voice was on the other side.

"Officer Takagi, I want to know if you were on surveillance duty in Room 305 of an apartment in Cupido Town?"

"Well, I've been there before...eh? How did you know?"

"Did you still write on the glass? Did you write the words 'Takagi Miwako'?"

"ah!"

Takagi immediately blushed with embarrassment and yelled in the office.

People in the office immediately cast suspicious glances, including Miwako Sato. Takagi quickly laughed and scratched his head to relieve the embarrassment.

"Conan, how do you know this?"

Hearing Takagi's answer, Conan smiled slightly, knowing that he had guessed correctly.

"Okay, Officer Takagi, goodbye."

"Hello! Hello?"

Toot——

Before Takagi could ask what was going on, Conan had already hung up the phone.

…

In the apartment, Conan explained to several people what happened in the next room.

It turned out that Takagi had gone to the next room to conduct surveillance on a certain surveillance mission. Of course, he had to get the key with the help of the apartment manager.

Reina Mizuna saw a figure running out from next door that night. It was probably just Takagi Wataru who suddenly received a recall from the headquarters.

"There is also 'Ki Miwa' on the glass. Officer Takagi is imagining that if he marries Officer Sato in the future, Officer Sato will change his name to 'Takagi Miwako'."

"He forgot to wipe off the words on the glass before he left. As time went by, only the three words in the middle were left."

Conan was very careless and simply gave Takagi a public death.

When Mouri Kogoro heard that he was not a stalker, he twisted his mouth and complained, "Really, a policeman is actually daydreaming while performing his duties?"

Mao Lilan smiled sweetly, "It's not a daydream, I think Officer Takagi has a chance~"

Reina Mizuna, who had been listening in, showed a forced smile, "So, the black figure I saw before was just the police officer named 'Takagi'?"

"This puts me at ease..."

"By the way, it's getting late now. Let me arrange a place for you to stay."

…

Mizuna Reina's apartment is not big, but it is more than enough to accommodate a few people.

Reina Mizuna still lived alone in her master bedroom, while the Mouri family lived in the second bedroom. Xiaolan and Conan slept on the bed, and Mouri Kogoro made the floor.

In the end, Qin Zhibo slept alone on the sofa in the living room.

At 9 o'clock in the evening, Shuiwu Reina, who had changed into home clothes, began to sort out the unwanted newspapers, magazines and books at home.

The warm-hearted Mao Lilan wanted to help, but was declined by Shuiwu Reina.

"Tomorrow is recycling day. I just bundled these magazines and newspapers that I don't usually read and take them out to throw away tomorrow."

Mao Lilan observed the busy Mizuno Reina condescendingly, and suddenly said: "I always feel that Miss Reina looks a lot like my high school classmate, especially the eyes."

"I don't know about Yingyou-san..."

Upon hearing Mao Lilan's casual chat, Shui Wulian, who was sorting out books, suddenly changed his eyes and quickly stood up to interrupt Mao Lilan's words.

"Do you want to eat fruit? I remember there should be some in the refrigerator at home..."

Regardless of whether anyone agreed or not, she went straight to the refrigerator and left the pile of newspapers and books.

Qin Zhibo, who was sitting on the sofa, had been quietly observing Shui Wu Lina and saw her abnormal reaction just now.

Mao Lilan just mentioned her classmates, and her expression suddenly changed.

why is that?

…

Fruits in Japan are quite expensive, and Japanese people usually don’t buy too many. Reina Minami only found one banana and half a dragon fruit from the refrigerator.

Although the portion was not enough to entertain the guests, she still took it all out, cut it into small pieces, put it on a plate, and inserted a few toothpicks.

After eating the fruit, everyone chatted for a while.

Taking advantage of this time, Mizuno Reina organized the unwanted magazines and books into two large piles as high as her knees, and piled them all outside the door.

When the time reached 10 o'clock in the evening, Shui Wulian suggested that everyone turn off the lights and go to bed.

This proposal was unanimously approved by all.

Qin Zhibo will participate in the assassination mission organized by Ginjiu at 10:00 tomorrow morning, so he must prepare some things in advance.

Conan's plan is to follow Qin Zhibo tomorrow and use his own strength to get clues about the "organization".

Mouri Kogoro is going to bet on horse racing tomorrow to realize his long-lost dream of wealth and freedom.

Each of them has a bright future.
