The Grammatical Investigator in Conan

At 10 o'clock in the evening, everyone living in Mizuno Reina's house turned off the lights and went to bed on time.

The time for the doorbell prank is usually 6:30 in the morning, so just set the alarm clock for 6 o'clock and go to the entrance to watch in advance.

Qin Zhibo was lying on the sofa, covered with a light blue blanket, taking a nap with his eyes closed.

When he opened his eyes again, the moonlight outside the window slipped into the living room, and the clock on the wall showed that it was now 12:20 midnight.

Qin Zhibo thought for a moment, and almost everyone was asleep at this time, including Shui Wu Liannai.

He got up and walked off the sofa, slowly walking towards the master bedroom of the apartment.

In order to avoid making some noise, Qin Zhibo did not wear slippers on his feet, and was separated from the floor by a layer of pure cotton socks, which can have a good sound-absorbing effect.

When passing by the second bedroom, Mouri Kogoro's snoring could be heard from behind the door, like a beast roaring.

It was a good thing that Conan could endure Kogoro Mouri's snoring for so long. If he had a roommate like this, he would be admitted to Aoyama Mental Hospital within two weeks.

Covered by the sound of snoring, Qin Zhibo moved boldly and walked through the corridor faster.

Coming to the diagonal position of the second bedroom, there is the master bedroom where Shui Wu Lina sleeps.

Qin Zhibo turned his wrist, feeling the tendons, then took a deep breath and stretched out his hand towards the door handle.

Twist~

His movements were very light, so light that there was only the undetectable friction sound of the door handle's axle.

But after twisting half a circle, he realized something was wrong.

It couldn't be turned because the door was locked.

Sleeping in your own home with the door locked?

Qin Zhibo was a little confused. Who in the right mind would lock their bedroom when they were sleeping?

Although there are some outsiders in the family, we are all gentlemen, okay?

Thinking at the worst, Rena Mizuna was on guard against these outsiders, especially the two adult men, herself and Mouri Kogoro.

Thinking on the bright side, Mizuno Reina usually locked her bedroom door when sleeping, so she wasn't targeting anyone.

From a psychological analysis, this is more serious than having four locks on the house, and is a sign of a serious lack of security.

Now it's impossible to get in through the door, and it's impractical to pick the lock. Qin Zhibo can only go in through another way.

…

The master bedroom also has a window that opens towards the balcony, which can be climbed in when walking to the balcony.

Qin Zhibo returned to the living room and went to the balcony, and saw the aluminum alloy window with dark curtains behind it.

Press your hands on the metal window frame and gradually apply strength with your arms.

Hmm...very tight.

However, when the force was applied to the critical level, the window frame and the groove loosened their bite, opening a slight gap.

Taking advantage of the time, Qin Zhibo put the [Lord of the Rings] on his finger and entered the invisible state.

Although it was unlikely, he didn't want Shui Wulian to suddenly wake up and see him, and then he would be known as the "famous detective who attacks women's dormitories at night".

After turning invisible, Qin Zhibo pushed open the window at a constant speed and easily stepped through the window with his long legs.

Entering the room, he pushed the window behind him back slightly to prevent sudden sounds from outside from disturbing the inside. But the window was not completely closed to avoid inconvenience when leaving.

In the quiet room, the black curtains roll like waves, stacked on top of each other, but they are as quiet as the ripples of a pond.

An invisible figure emerged from the end of the ripples in the curtains, and the curtains returned to calm.

Entering Shui Wu Reina's bedroom, it was pitch dark, with the outside light almost cut off by the curtains.

Qin Zhibo put on his night vision goggles and saw clearly what was going on inside.

This room was still the same as it was at night, the light from the investigation point of the monitor above the head was more conspicuous, and there was Rena Mizuna lying flat on the bed, with a rather upright sleeping position as if someone had specially arranged it that way.

I have slept for more than two hours, and the four corners of my back have not moved much.

It seems that Shui Wu Lianna doesn't like to move when sleeping, let alone kicking the quilt.

Qin Zhibo quietly came to the bedside and looked at Shui Wulian's sleeping face without tying her hair in a ponytail.

Oval face, thin and curved eyebrows, delicate thin lips...

During the day, Shui Wulian wore light makeup due to professional reasons, but even if she takes off her makeup now, her appearance is still very good.

Reina Mizumu in ponytail state gives people a capable temperament.

Shui Wu Lianna, who loosened her hair and slept with three thousand worry threads on her pillow, looked like a quiet and pleasant sleeping beauty, with a faint sadness sandwiched between her slightly frowning brows.

Qin Zhibo swallowed and slowly placed his fingers on the soft earlobe.

【Do you want to investigate? 】

【Survey√】

Qin Zhibo mentally confirmed this investigation that he had not conducted for a long time.

After a while, the investigated information popped up in the field of vision.

Name: Hondo Yinghai

Gender: Female

Age: 27

Occupation: Broadcaster, member of a terrorist organization, CIA agent

Social credit: 3500

…

Appearance: 90

Intelligence: 55

Will: 50

Luck: 60

Skills: Social skills (speaking), arts and crafts (acting), firearms, languages, car driving, psychology...

Lines of information were displayed one by one, causing Qin Zhibo to freeze his eyes subconsciously.

This template of basic information is very similar to Toru Amuro whom he had investigated before.

But one thing is different: it's a CIA agent!

Is she an agent?

Based on Qin Zhibo’s experience in previous investigations, generally the deeper the identity is hidden, the further behind the list will be.

This shows that Reina Mizuna's true identity is a CIA agent!

No, it’s our main hall Yinghai.

Um?

Qin Zhibo was startled again. Why did this name feel familiar?

This hall... Yinghai!

It's the name mentioned in that letter!

Qin Zhibo still remembers that in the drawer of Zhibo Detective Agency, there was a letter without a signature, sending address and recipient.

The content inside is - "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."

"When you arrive in Japan, please contact Hondo Eikai at phone number: ▅▅▅▅"

It's not that Qin Zhibo didn't remember the phone number, but the location of the phone was blacked out by the "original owner" of the body, so the number couldn't be seen.

Judging from the production date of the envelope, this letter was sent approximately four years ago, and from the information provided by a third party, I only came to Japan approximately four years ago.

If I am the CIA and the person I am looking for, then the person who sent me the letter is probably the CIA.

After sorting out the logic in his mind, Qin Zhibo guessed that this might have been the case in the past.

Once "I" was the FBI in the United States and did a favor to the CIA, and then the CIA provided a country and person's name.

But after I came to Japan, for some reason, I not only didn't contact Hondo Ekai, but also blacked out the phone number.

What happened?

Qin Zhibo turned his eyes and looked at Shui Wuliannai lying on the bed with a suspicious expression.

But at this moment, Shui Wulian, who had closed his eyes tightly just a second ago, suddenly opened his eyes.

In the yellow-green field of vision, Shui Wulian opened his eyes, which shocked Qin Zhibo's heart, as if he had been awakened by something extraordinary.

I saw Mizuna Reina using her arms to prop up her upper body and sitting on the bed with a dazed look on her face.

She paused for a few seconds, then raised her hand to touch the left earlobe that Qin Zhibo had just touched.

Qin Zhibo was a little surprised. Could it be that she felt someone touching her in her sleep?

So sensitive?

After sitting on the bed for a few seconds, Shui Wu Lianna, who frowned slightly, put down his hands and twisted his body to the side of the bed, preparing to get out of bed.

A pair of feet with narrow front ends scratched on the dark floor, groping for the position of the slippers. After stepping on them correctly, he stood up.

The room was very dark, and although Reina Mizuna was already familiar with the layout, she still reached forward a little to prevent herself from touching anything.

Qin Zhibo was huddled next to the desk at this time, not daring to move at all, even holding his breath completely.

But fortunately, Shuiwu Reina didn't go this way at all, and walked towards the door.

Click.

She unlocked the door, pushed it open, and walked out into the corridor.

Qin Zhibo quickly stood up and quietly chased Shui Wu Liannai's direction.

…

Shui Wulian came to the toilet door and turned on the toilet light switch next to the door frame.

Uh-huh!

The bright light in the toilet suddenly lights up, stimulating the optic nerves in the eyeballs like a flare.

Shui Wulian subconsciously narrowed his eyes, stopped at the door of the toilet, and raised his hand to cover his eyes.

But at this moment, a pair of big hands suddenly grabbed her slender wrist and forced her into the toilet.

"ah……"

Before she could cry out, the man quickly covered her mouth, and a warm touch spread from her lips.

"鞥——!"

"鞥——!"

She could only make a weak protest sound from the bottom of her throat. Her right hand was grabbed by the opponent's stronger palm, and her left hand was tightly clamped by her body and the wall.

The other party forcefully pushed her against the tiled wall of the toilet, leaving her no room to resist. It was difficult for her to even twist her body.

In future terms, it is similar to "bidong".

Shui Wu Liannai's eyes widened in horror, her pupils gradually adapted to the bright light in the toilet, and then she realized that the person who attacked her at night was actually Qin Zhibo!

"Don't move! Listen to me first..."

"I know your real name is Hondo Yinghai, and you are from the CIA. In fact, I might know you."

"If you want to know the whole story, I will let you go later, but please don't make any noise."

"If you understand, just blink twice."

Qin Zhibo's expression was as serious as possible, so that Shui Wulian could understand that he was really talking about something seriously, and was not "crazy" or "night attack".

When he heard Qin Zhibo's words, the exposed parts of Shui Wulian's face also changed from the original fear to more surprise.

She was originally ready to kneel down to get rid of the restraints, but when she heard the name "Hondo Yinghai", she couldn't help but lower her knees.

The reason was the same. She hadn't heard anyone mention her name for a long time.

Mizuno Reina blinked her eyes twice quickly, and her body gave up struggling, indicating that she accepted the proposal.

Seeing this, Qin Zhibo slowly relaxed the strength in his hands and withdrew his palms covering Shui Wu Liannai's mouth.

The makeup on Mizuno Reina's face has been removed, so there is no lipstick around her lips, only a faint palm-print-like blush.

"Why do you know my name?"

Without the restraints, Mizuno Reina immediately asked.

Qin Zhibo did not answer immediately, but pulled away and closed the toilet door to create a closed space suitable for communication.

"How do you know my name?"

Shui Wulian asked again, and Qin Zhibo, who had collected his thoughts, answered.

"My lady, actually we should have met four years ago, but for some reasons, it took so long..."

Shui Wulian frowned and asked in a puzzled tone: "What are you talking about?"

Qin Zhibo was slightly surprised by Shui Wu's reaction. Could it be that he had found the wrong person?

This Hondo Yinghai is not the "Hondo Yinghai" in the letter.

But the other party's CIA identity matches his former FBI identity very well. I'm afraid I can't find another one in Japan.

"Let me ask you first, is your true identity an agent of the American CIA?"

Shui Wu Liannai: "..."

She looked directly at Qin Zhibo, neither agreeing nor rejecting, and seemed to be thinking about many things in her eyes.

In this regard, Qin Zhibo expressed his understanding, "I know you don't believe me yet, but I can tell you my identity. I am a former FBI investigator..."

Before he could finish speaking, Shui Wulian suddenly raised his hand and took the initiative to put it on Qin Zhibo's shoulder.

Although the height difference between the two made it difficult to do this, she still pressed her finger on the pulse of Qin Zhibo's neck.

"Can you tell me your identity again?"

"...I am a former FBI investigator..."

Shui Wulian did not immediately comment on Qin Zhibo's words. Instead, she stared closely at the pupils of the man in front of her while feeling the pulse frequency with her fingers.

There was no nervous reaction in the pupils, and the pulse rate was normal... I wasn't lying.

At this time, Qin Zhibo also used his psychological skills to figure out what she was doing.

This is to judge whether a person is lying through the subconscious nervous reaction of the person's body when lying.

Although Qin Zhibo may not really be a former FBI, he told the lie a thousand times in a row, and even he believed it, let alone others.

"How is it? Am I lying? My lady..."

"No." Mizuno Reina slowly retracted her hand, "Just pretend that you are really a former FBI investigator, but what does this have to do with me?"

Qin Zhibo was a little surprised that she was still so cold.

Does she really not know herself?

No, she should really not know him, otherwise she would not have taken the initiative or contacted him for so many years.

"Okay, my lady, this is a long story. You may not believe it..."

"But in fact, it was someone who sent me a letter in the United States four years ago."

"The letter said that if I want to know the truth, I should go to Japan to find a person named 'Hondo Ekai', and he also left me your phone number."

"But then something happened and the phone stopped working and I lost all the clues."

"Do you understand what I said?"

Qin Zhibo felt a little uneasy and watched Shui Wu Lina's reaction nervously.

In case this doesn't make sense, now that I have her identity information, I can communicate with her, so as not to get the reputation of a "crazy person".

It's just that in this case, my trump card is revealed to the other party, but I don't get the information I want, which is a bit of a loss.

He looked at Shui Wu Liannai, waiting for the other party's reply.

Mizuno Reina's eyes widened in disbelief as she stared blankly at the mixed-race man in front of her.

Some crystal warm liquid gathered in the corners of her eyes, and when it reached its limit, it slowly slid over her beautiful cheeks.

"Four years, I've been waiting for you for four years..."

"Why did you come just now?"

Shui Wu Lina suddenly leaned forward, spread her arms, and hugged Qin Zhibo tightly.
