The Grammatical Investigator in Conan

With Conan's click, the web page was opened.

The most eye-catching position in the middle of the web page is a photo of a building burning in flames.

In the photo, close to the photographer, there is a small blue figure lying on the ground.

On the white vertical plaque that had not been engulfed by the flames, Qin Zhibo could identify that the burning building was the village hall of Yueying Island.

And the blue figure lying on the ground was none other than Conan.

In other words, it is the "Conan" of this world.

"This, this is..."

Conan looked at the photos on the website in horror and recognized that the child in the photos was "himself".

However, in his memory, there was no building fire in the case on Yueying Island, and he did not appear in such a mess.

He frowned and quickly slid the mouse wheel down.

The blue-black pupils reflected the lines of text on the screen, which was the truth behind the Moon Shadow Island case.

In the Tsukikage Island case, the village chief Isamu Kameyama died two years ago, Hideo Kawashima died at the ceremony on the second anniversary of the village chief's death, the current village chief Kuroiwa Tatsuji, Ken Nishimoto died the next day...

The murderer is the son of musician Keiji Aso, Aso Michiru.

The motive for the murder was that the four deceased and musician Keiji Aso took advantage of the opportunity of world tour to cooperate in smuggling drugs.

Later, Keiji Aso wanted to quit, but was killed and silenced by other members of the gang.

But in fact, Keiji Aso also has a son who was frail and sickly since he was a child. He was treated in a hospital in Tokyo and became the only surviving member of the Aso family.

Many years later, Aso took the pseudonym "Narumi Asai" and became a village doctor on Yueying Island. This also became an opportunity for Aso to take revenge on other members of the gang...

Conan's eyes widened as he read the news.

Although the Moon Shadow Island case described in this news is just an "if line" that has never happened in Conan's memory.

But this if deeply shocked Conan's soul.

Dr. Cheng Shi is a man. During the full moon incident, Conan discovered this by accidentally seeing Cheng Shi's Adam's apple.

But this matter, Conan told no one except Teacher Judy to confront Belmode.

So now that Conan is not surprised to see that Cheng Shi is a boy.

It's just that Narumi's real name is Aso Minori, and he is the son of "Aso Keiji" who is very taboo to talk about on the island. This is something Conan has never thought of before.

He never imagined that such a gentle and careful doctor, a good person who even the cold-hearted Haihara Ai was willing to get along with, would actually be a murderer who killed four people in a row!

"This is impossible!"

Conan suddenly shouted, seemingly losing his cool.

However, the more he lost his cool, the more reason he had in his mind told him that the report was true.

Aso actually killed four people, and he solved the case through the mouth of "sleeping Mouri Kogoro".

The final result of this move was that Aso set himself on fire.

This feeling is like... killing yourself.

Conan's body was swaying as he sat on the chair, but it was Qin Zhibo who held down his shoulders, preventing him from falling to the ground.

While Conan was browsing the web, Qin Zhibo also finished reading this heavy report.

As the first person to see through Aso's murder plan, Qin Zhibo knew that everything in the news was true.

Death by self-immolation does seem to be Cheng Shi's style.

Fortunately, he stopped Narumi when he planned to kill the first person, Hideo Kawashima, and prevented Narumi from getting blood on his hands.

If I were not in Japan, maybe the world line would move in this direction.

The Moon Shadow Island case in this parallel world has already happened, and I am powerless to change it.

…

Even the air in Kudo's study was very solemn.

After a long moment of silence, Conan lowered his head and asked seriously.

"You already knew that the person who wrote that warning letter was Dr. Cheng Shi, right?"

"He took the initiative to write to Kogoro Mori, hoping that someone could stop him from committing crimes."

"Did you stay with him that night just to convince him to give up his plan?"

On the first night after arriving at Yueying Island, Qin Zhibo stayed at Cheng Shi's home.

The Maori family thought that Qin Zhibo was very lucky, but they didn't know the deeper reasons behind this.

Qin Zhibo looked at Conan and remained silent, or he acquiesced.

Seeing that Qin Zhibo remained silent, Conan silently jumped down from his chair and bowed deeply towards Qin Zhibo.

This bow was Conan's sincere admiration and gratitude.

All along, he thought that he was just not as observant as Qin Zhibo, and his reasoning ability was still lacking, which was why he repeatedly fell behind in case investigations.

But it wasn't until he saw the truth behind this case that Conan truly understood the gap between himself and Qin Zhibo.

The murder notice letter was not only a provocation, but also a real hope that someone could stop him before he did it.

But when I was reasoning, I was completely unaware of this.

Even if it can be seen, it must be after the case has been revealed.

But the incident has been settled, what’s the point of a truth?

Due to his lack of ability, he not only failed to save the poor man who was tortured by thoughts of revenge, but instead let him die in the fire.

If all this had not happened, the life that Narumi should have enjoyed was exactly what Conan saw in Yoneka Town.

But all of this was messed up by myself...

In contrast, Qin Zhibo is completely different.

Although he was just traveling, he discovered the real murderer as quickly as possible and persuaded him to give up the murder plan.

Although the case ended in death and madness, Conan did not think that Aso was responsible.

Because the police, based on various evidence found at the scene, proved that the person who shot Kuroiwa Tatsuji and Nishimoto Ken was Kawashima Hideo himself.

The evidence of several people's smuggling on the island and the communication records of the famous detective after arriving at Yueying Island all prove that they are suspicious of each other.

Eventually they met on a mountaintop, and when negotiations failed, infighting broke out.

The only thing that is somewhat unclear is that Hideo Kawashima suffered a huge mental blow and suffered from a disease called "yellow phobia".

But this is obviously not something that can be done by human beings. It may be that he has done too many bad things and has received retribution.

…

Conan bowed towards Qin Zhibo and held it for 10 seconds before slowly getting up.

"Thank you."

Conan thanked Qin Zhibo from the bottom of his heart again.

For the same case, the outcome of my own handling and the outcome of Qin Zhibo's handling, which one is better, has been revealed through two different news reports and life experiences.

If it weren't for Qin Zhibo, Conan couldn't believe that he would destroy such a good man alive.

Even if all four people on Moon Shadow Island were killed by Cheng Shi, who were originally traffickers and still carried the murder case of killing Keiji Aso and his family 12 years ago, according to Japanese law, the court would not sentence Cheng Shi harshly.

At most, if you are locked up for more than ten years, you can still be a good person after you come out.

But I couldn't even save such a good person, and actually allowed him to burn himself to death...

From the reports, Conan can roughly relate to the situation at that time.

I must have been too carried away when reasoning, so I didn't find out that Cheng Shi had set himself on fire.

Ever since the first murder case in his life, which he experienced on a plane to New York last year, Conan would fall into a state similar to a "reasoning mania" when the case occurred.

In this state, Conan can clearly feel the adrenaline surge caused by the case reasoning, and the sense of fun and excitement is unstoppable.

It's just that he didn't expect that in this state of being too involved in reasoning itself, he would overlook some things.

Ignore some of the more human things.

Only talking about logic and evidence without putting yourself in the prisoner's situation will eventually lead to tragedies like the Yueying Island case.

Thinking of this, Conan was suddenly enlightened again.

Once, he thought that he would never understand the thoughts of a murderer, let alone accept the act of killing.

That's why Qin Zhibo said such words.

"You will never become Sherlock Holmes..."

The reason why Sherlock Holmes has become the most popular detective character in the world is not only his unparalleled reasoning ability and judgment, but also his humane decisions.

There is also the great detective Poirot in "Murder on the Orient Express". Although he has already deduced the truth, he does not choose to reveal the truth to the police, but proposes another "possibility" of the case.

Holmes: "When the law fails to bring justice to the person concerned, private revenge is from that moment justifiable and even noble."

This is the choice of human nature, not a ruthless reasoning machine.

I am still too immature...

Conan, who has been in the industry for a year, couldn't help but reveal a wry smile when he thought about the media's praise for him and how he posed so beautifully in front of the camera and flashlights.

If Sherlock Holmes and Detective Poirot also acted like that in front of the camera, would they still become well-known detective characters?

Qin Zhibo next to him looked at Conan and felt that this boy might have realized something.

Although Conan is young, his understanding is not low. He has an excellent background and a successful youth. He has an aura about him, so it is inevitable that he will take some detours.

As long as he can understand how to take the next step and slowly settle down.

In fact, there is nothing wrong with wanting to explore the truth, but walking in this complicated world, not all truths need to be revealed, and not all truths are worth celebrating.

Just like in Nolan's version of Batman, Commissioner Gordon refrained from revealing Harvey Dent's sinister side several times in order to maintain peace in Gotham City.

Sometimes, those who know the truth but can't bear to tell it are the real heroes.

There is a saying that goes, "Everything is left unsaid..."

But now, Qin Zhibo had to explain the current situation to Conan.

…

"Now do you understand? The world we are in is a parallel world of the original world, an if line of the original world."

"The 'Conan' you saw is real, but there is no me in this world..."

"I think the 'me' in this world is still in the United States and has never been to Japan."

This passage is a bit difficult to pronounce whether speaking or listening.

But Conan nodded in understanding.

No matter how firm the materialism is in his heart, everything he has experienced during this period illustrates this fact.

"Maybe this is a parallel universe..." Conan thought for a few seconds and then asked: "But why are we here?"

The concept of parallel universes was proposed by scientists as early as the 1950s, but it has always remained at the level of hypothesis, and no one can prove its existence.

If someone could really discover the existence of parallel universes, it would definitely be the greatest discovery in human history.

And such a great thing was discovered by two detectives without any warning?

Qin Zhibo also couldn't explain Conan's question clearly.

But there is absolutely no doubt that the time travel between himself and Conan was definitely due to the white light emitted by Mi-Go using that piece of ore.

That white light is not used to induce coma, but is a kind of light that travels through time.

Qin Zhibo remembered that Mr. Clock once said that he had traveled among civilizations in several planes and witnessed the rise and fall of civilizations on several planets.

If the "planes" he refers to are different parallel universes, then MI-Go should be a pan-dimensional creature.

Their life forms have transcended the boundaries of the universe.

The props they use to travel through time should be something called "Vesbanian Ore".

Mi-Go is keen on mining this kind of ore on earth, probably for this reason.

If you want to return to the original world, you must first find the place where the "Vesbania Ore" exists.

Not only is the ore there, but there's probably a Mi-Go.

Ask yourself, Qin Zhibo certainly wants to go back.

Although the second time traveling is legendary, I don't want to start from scratch in this world and have to face someone with the same identity as myself at any time.

Besides, this show has already been ruined by "Conan".

This world has not come true, and I have no reliable friends around me. What's the point of staying here?

After thinking about this clearly, Qin Zhibo turned to ask Conan again.

"Conan, do you want to stay here?"

When Conan heard this, his head immediately shook like a rattle.

Although there is also Xiaolan in this world, this Xiaolan is not that Xiaolan.

Everything in the parallel universe is similar, but they are not the same person after all.

Moreover, he also felt that "he" had been ruined by this program, and the case was solved in a mess, which was simply a nightmare.

In comparison, the original one is better, at least I don't have any big regrets.

"Very good." Qin Zhibo confirmed Conan's idea and explained: "The reason why we can travel to this world must be related to the ore that the invader snatched."

"Our first task is to figure out the situation in this world and find the location of the ores in this world."

"Then... let's wait until we find it..."

Qin Zhibo's words stopped abruptly.

For a moment, he didn't know how to explain "MI-Go" to Conan.
