The Grammatical Investigator in Conan

"Something happened...what's the specific situation?"

Qin Zhibo, who knew what happened, paused his tone and pretended to be surprised.

James explained what happened on the other side of the phone.

"Two days ago, after you completed the investigation at the home of the female anchor named Shui Wu Reina, I had a phone call with Xiuyi."

"But since then, Xiuyi has stopped returning calls, and has not even appeared at regular internal meetings of the FBI. It is as if he has disappeared from the world..."

James' description made Qin Zhibo understand that Akai Shuichi did not disclose to the FBI his plan to invite his "father" to cooperate in capturing Gin.

This shows that in terms of emotional tendencies, Akai Shuichi is still more inclined to his father.

"Isn't he usually with you?" Qin Zhibo pretended not to know and continued to ask.

"No, he said he needed to hide from someone outside to ensure the safety of the FBI, so he acted alone most of the time."

Qin Zhibo could probably guess that the person Akai Shuichi wanted to avoid was Toru Amuro.

It seems that Toru Amuro has been following and investigating Shuichi Akai since he took leave from the office.

"Qin, do you think it was the person Xiuyi wanted to avoid outside who finally attacked Xiuyi..."

Although James is reluctant to believe this conjecture, after all, Shuichi's strength is obvious to all in the FBI, and ordinary people cannot deal with him.

Are there any experts out there?

"It's hard to say..." Qin Zhibo pondered, "But there seems to be no murder case against foreigners in Tokyo in the past two days."

"If it's Shuichi, he may be hiding temporarily. You don't have to worry too much."

"Yeah?"

James nudged the white police chief Hu, and he noticed that Qin's attitude towards this matter was relatively calm.

But then I thought about it, Shuichi was partnered with Qin when he first entered the FBI, and the latter also knew Xiuyi's strength very well.

This may be due to the trust among companions that they believe Akai Shuichi is okay.

However, as the commander-in-chief of the FBI's operations in Japan, he should be responsible for every subordinate and cannot expect Xiuichi to show up on his own.

"I know. I will organize the FBI to conduct an all-out search in the near future."

"Qin, do you have time?"

Obviously, James wanted to bring Qin Zhibo into the search team.

After all, searching for missing persons is not directly part of the FBI's mission, so there is no problem in letting former FBI members join in.

But Qin Zhibo really didn't have time. He still had to find a way for the FBI to really find a living Shuichi Akai.

"Sorry, I have to go back to the United States for some things recently."

"Going back to the United States? So suddenly?"

James was a little surprised. He thought his old friend had settled in Japan.

"Well, I have some things to do...so I would like to trouble you to provide me with access rights to the case files I handled in the past."

In this era, high-tech information storage technology such as databases has not yet been developed, not even the FBI.

Therefore, I have to go to the United States to see these dossier materials, which also provides a suitable reason for going to the United States.

"Past case files?" James obviously didn't guess the reason. "Did something go wrong with the past cases?"

"I'm a little concerned...but I'm not sure yet, so I have to go back and confirm with my own eyes..."

Qin Zhibo's words were ambiguous, which made James hesitate.

But after a few seconds, he agreed.

"Okay, I will ask someone to make arrangements after you arrive in New York."

"Thank you then. If there are any new updates on Xiuyi's side, don't forget to contact me at any time."

After hanging up the phone, James turned his heavy eyes to the many FBI agents in the room.

Judy, who was eager to find someone, stepped forward and asked hurriedly: "How is it? What did he say?"

James shook his head helplessly.

"He doesn't have any clues about Xiuyi either..."

Judy's expression changed and she stayed in place with her eyes wide open.

Seeing this, James could understand that Judy and Shuichi Akai's office romance was not a secret within the FBI.

Later, Akai Shuichi unilaterally dumped Judy due to the needs of the mission.

But until now, Judy still has feelings for Xiuyi, and they are beyond the relationship between colleagues.

In this regard, James could only use Qin Zhibo's words to comfort this caring and chaotic subordinate.

"You have to believe in Shuichi's ability. He can't be solved so easily."

"The more times this happens, the more we must stay calm and do our best to find out the whereabouts of our companions!"

"Now arrange the area for everyone to search..."

James looked at a Tokyo city map on the table and began to plan areas for each investigator.

Doing so is like looking for a needle in a haystack, but it's better than doing nothing.

Moreover, now that there is no clue about the character of Reina Mizuno, the FBI has also temporarily lost the clues about the investigation organization. Finding the missing agent is the only thing they can do.

…

Under James's arrangement, everyone was given new tasks.

Judy also regained her strength and walked out of the building with the other agents with confidence and hope.

Everyone got into their cars in the parking lot and drove in different directions.

Behind the green belt across the street, a figure was silently watching the parking lot opposite.

One, two, three, four...

"A total of 10 people..."

This figure was wearing a gray sportswear and a sweatshirt hood. He looked like an ordinary resident running and exercising nearby.

But if anyone was staring at him, he had actually been wandering around here for more than an hour.

And this person is Toru Amuro.

Since the assassination incident two days ago, Toru Amuro has been secretly investigating the mystery behind the incident, especially who killed Gin.

According to the surveillance, that face is probably Zhu Fu Jingguang.

This is not the first time Tohru Amuro has encountered Morofuku Jingguang, but every time it is unfortunate, as if fate keeps the two of them passing each other.

But no matter what, the appearance of Zhu Fu Jingguang is inseparable from the FBI.

Because back then, it was Akai Shuichi who "killed" Zhu Fu Jingguang in front of his eyes.

Now that Gin is being killed, it may be related to Shuichi Akai's manipulation of Zhu Fujingguang behind the scenes, and he cannot let go of this clue.

After more than a day of investigation, he took the lead in finding the FBI's stronghold.

In fact, it is not difficult to find FBI bases. These foreigners who use their own information to rent houses will be easily found out. In addition, a large number of foreign faces frequently visit the same place, which will definitely arouse the suspicion of surrounding neighbors.

Therefore, as long as the search target is locked in a place where many foreign faces come and go, it will not arouse suspicion and leave no clues.

Before, I was registered with the FBI to stay in major hotels and inns, but then I suddenly moved to other places and disappeared for a period of time.

But now, these FBIs have reappeared in a foreigner's club.

This club is private, and member information is highly confidential, and the FBI, who is a foreigner, will not arouse suspicion when entering and exiting the club.

I have to say, this is a great place.

But for Toru Amuro, as long as it's not Shuichi Akai, who is as cunning as a loach, and it's a home game, it's easy to find out the whereabouts of these people in Japan.

In order to avoid alerting the enemy, he did not plan to install a monitor immediately. He would first check for movement from outside.

But just from observing during this period, he could tell that something seemed to be going on within the FBI.

Almost all FBI agents went out to investigate with serious expressions, and they went in different directions.

They are looking for someone.

As for who he is looking for, it is reasonable to speculate that it may be Shuichi Akai.

It has been analyzed before that the FBI should not order Gin to be killed, but it is hard to say for Akai Hide alone.

Once the man asked Zhu Fu Jingguang to kill Gin out of revenge, it would be exactly the opposite of the FBI's philosophy.

Shuichi Akai may be separated from the FBI because of this.

But now, Toru Amuro is not completely sure whether Shuichi Akai will be so emotional.

Therefore, a reasonable method is needed to confirm the FBI's attitude and even penetrate into the FBI.

Because what he needs to master most now is Zhu Fu Jingguang's information, and other people in the FBI should also know it.

This method is...

Toru Amuro stood on the street with his hands in his pockets, and a person gradually appeared in his mind.

He walked into a deserted alley, took out his phone, and dialed the long-lost number.

"Belmod, I need a human skin mask."

Toru Amuro went straight to the point and made his request.

The female voice on the other side of the phone was a little lazy, "Why?"

"Investigate the FBI."

Amuro said coldly, "Gin's death may be related to the FBI lurking in Japan, and there seems to be some confusion within the FBI in the past two days. It may be related to Akai Shuichi..."

Gin was also considered a popular person in the organization, so it was not surprising that the cadres knew about Gin's death, especially the cadres who were mainly responsible for intelligence work.

But the new information provided by Toru Amuro made Belmod's eyes light up.

She took a breath, her fragrant body rose slightly from the water in the bathtub, and the scene at that time was recalled in her mind.

The person in the front seat is fake Gin, and the person in the back seat is Michael, an undercover agent of the organization.

If they were from the FBI and one of them was Shuichi Akai, it wouldn't be surprising if they could join forces to kill Gin.

In the two days after the incident, Belmode kept thinking about who could master such a superb disguise technique and disguise himself as fake gin so well that even he could not see any flaws.

Her own disguise technique was learned from the genius magician Kuroba Toichi.

In addition to himself, Kuroba Pirates took on two apprentices, the other being Kudo Yukiko.

Kuroba Toichi had a beautiful wife at that time, and she didn't seem to be an ordinary person...

But Kuroba Toichi has been dead for many years, and the matter of the disguise technique should have nothing to do with the Kuroba family.

If we exclude the Kuroba family, then it might be Yukiko.

Cool guy has become smaller because of the drugs developed by the organization, and parents cannot remain indifferent.

The Kudo couple have lived in the United States all year round and are quite prestigious. They may have secretly cooperated with the FBI...

Then is it possible that the person he shot and killed was Shuichi Akai?

Belmod was silent for a long time, but decided to cooperate with Toru Amuro.

"Whose mask do you need?"

"Akai Shuichi."

"What are you going to do?"

"I will appear near the FBI to test their attitude."

Belmode thought for a moment, this would be a good idea.

In fact, ever since Gin's accident, the boss's strategy has puzzled Belmode.

It seems that the boss does not intend to thoroughly investigate the person who targeted important cadres of the organization, and wants to take a cold approach to the matter.

This made Belmod very puzzled. In the past, bosses always had enemies that had to be eliminated.

But it is also possible that the Japanese police and the American FBI were behind the arrest of Gin, and the boss could only avoid the spotlight for the time being.

But that doesn't mean she can't investigate privately.

"Deal, I will prepare it as soon as possible."

"Thank you."

Belmode did not respond to this thank you, and added: "After Gin's death, the higher ups sent someone to take over Gin's job. Do you know about this?"

Toru Amuro was stunned for a moment, "Really? I haven't heard of this yet."

"Hmph..." Belmode snorted, "What a coincidence, that person is your former partner."

"Scotch."

The familiar name of the wine reached his ears, and Toru Amuro was so shocked that he stood there, unable to move for a long time.

…

A few days later, Qin Zhibo made all preparations to go to the United States.

He closed the office and posted a notice on the door saying "I have been on a business trip for a while and my return date has not yet been determined."

Before leaving, Qin Zhibo said goodbye to the Maori family and Aso Minori respectively.

The Maoli family was very surprised that Qin Zhibo left, but Qin Zhibo said that he had to go back to deal with some matters at home and would come back as soon as possible.

When Mouri Kogoro heard this, he looked a little disappointed.

He thought that this colleague was going to leave Japan completely, so that he would firmly take the top spot as a famous detective in Tokyo.

There was a bit of reluctance in Conan's eyes. Not being able to meet Qin Zhibo by chance, it always felt like something was missing.

When he went to Chengshi Hospital to say goodbye, Qin Zhibo took Jerry the mouse and asked him to help take care of him.

As soon as Chengshi heard this, tears were about to flow out and she wanted to go to the airport to see her off.

Qin Zhibo tried hard to persuade him, but he was not allowed to go to the airport in person on the grounds that patients in the hospital could not live without doctors.

Otherwise, it would be difficult to explain when I went to the airport and met those two people.

…

Arriving at Haneda International Airport, Qin Zhibo met the other two people on this trip to the United States.

One is Koizumi Hongzi and the other is Hondo Eiyu.

"Do you know each other?"

"Yes." This hall Yingyou nodded.

"That's right." Koizumi Hongzi also crossed her arms in a defensive posture.

It seems that both of them are a little unfamiliar with each other, but Qin Zhibo also expected that the two of them are far from each other's favorite style.

After the three people met, they boarded a plane bound for New York, USA.

On this trip, we will first go to the FBI Bureau of Investigation in New York to look for the case in which we cooperated with CIA members.

Then there was the meeting with people from the CIA. Yasuharu Haneda had already contacted the people from the CIA, and the two parties also made an appointment to meet in New York.

After seeing off Hondo Eiyu, it was time for a "fantasy adventure" with Koizumi Anko.

On Mr. Clock's side, Qin Zhibo told it a few days ago that he had obtained the "last fragment".

Sure enough, Mr. Clock did not want to abandon them, but told Qin Zhibo that he would wait for them in Binger Town in central Oklahoma.

And there is the entrance to the underground world - Kunyang.
