The Grammatical Investigator in Conan

"you lose……"

Everything happened so fast that no one present realized what happened. The edge of the double-edged sword was pressed against Ishikawa Goemon's throat.

"this……"

Everyone was speechless for a moment and didn't know how to evaluate it.

In their eyes, Ishikawa Goemon just stood there holding the sword in both hands, while Qin Zhibo came to him unhurriedly and put the sword edge against Ishikawa Goemon's throat.

There are no flashy sword moves in the whole set of movements, so simple that even a 7-year-old primary school student can do it.

The only thing that everyone found incredible was that Qin Zhibo's seemingly huge and clumsy figure felt extremely flexible when he moved, as if he was floating in the air.

Very strange...

Before anyone could react, Qin Zhibo's figure slipped into the corridor entrance of the rooftop like a ghost and went down to change clothes.

Ishikawa Goemon stood there, staring at the Zantetsu sword in his hands with his wide eyes, and the area of ​​his vision that was so trembling in a daze gradually calmed down.

Just...what happened?

Ishikawa Goemon's mind just now was not on the duel between swordsmen, but on the yellow robe woven from gorgeous silk.

The robe seemed to be alive.

It's moving!

Ishikawa Goemon felt as if his heart was entangled by countless tentacles extending from his robe, pinching it hard.

And his tiny body seemed to be in a dark cage, surrounded by a cold that was so cold that even the air was condensed.

Looking up, what greeted him in the darkness was not a swordsman in yellow, but the outline of a huge creature falling from the sky...

"Hello? Goemon, are you okay?"

Lupine III thought it was Ishikawa Goemon who couldn't bear the blow of failure, so he stepped forward and patted Ishikawa Goemon on the shoulder, trying to comfort him.

After all, he could see that if Ishikawa Goemon didn't use his full strength, it didn't count as a defeat.

But as soon as his palm touched Ishikawa Goemon's shoulder, he was surprised by the moist feeling on his palm.

Ishikawa Goemon, sweating profusely...

Lupine III raised his hand and grabbed the air twice, confirming that the slight coldness coming from his hand was caused by the evaporation of sweat.

And this sweat was from Ishikawa Goemon's body, and it even soaked into the kimono.

This surprised Lupine III even more.

Obviously the previous duel went smoothly, Ishikawa Goemon was sure of victory, and there was no way he would lose.

Why did this sudden moment put so much pressure on Ishikawa Goemon?

That man...

Lupine III narrowed his eyes slightly and looked back at the corridor where the man left.

On the other side, everyone watching the battle had relatively dull expressions, but they were in a good mood.

No one was hurt in the duel, which is the best news.

As for who wins and who loses, it actually doesn’t mean much to the spectators.

Although the Sengata Police Department was also shocked by the defeat of "Gundam Humanoid" Ishikawa Goemon, they felt that Ishikawa might not want to make things worse, so he chose to let go.

By the way, would a rigid man like Ishikawa Goemon have such high emotional intelligence?

Forget it~

…

After a while, Qin Zhibo returned to the rooftop and met everyone.

[The Indescribable High Priest's Robe] has been put away, as has [Golden Chelsea].

After losing these two things, Qin Zhibo also changed back to the golden mask he had been wearing before.

In terms of image, he is much more "amiable" than the dignified appearance just now.

Qin Zhibo was about to walk over to meet Conan, but Ishikawa Goemon suddenly walked over and knelt on the ground with a "pop" in the standard Doge seat posture.

"I lost..."

"ah?"

Qin Zhibo was also stunned by this neat kneeling, and quickly picked up Ishikawa Goemon's arm.

"Please get up quickly! Please get up quickly!"

"You just used 20 years of skill, so you're not completely defeated, right?"

These words are Qin Zhibo's true words. Ishikawa Goemon's true strength must be more than this, but due to the rules established before the duel, he cannot fully display it.

"No!"

Ishikawa Goemon replied categorically: "What I lose is not your sword skills, but your aura!"

"Your aura is stronger than I have ever seen!"

"In just a moment, I was already sweating profusely..."

Ishikawa Goemon attributed the reason for his failure to "aura."

The "aura" was so shocking that he couldn't move, and he could only stand there like a wooden man stake, letting others slaughter him.

"profound……"

Qin Zhibo nodded clearly. It turned out that this is how Ishikawa Goemon understood "psychic shock".

"Yes, I use Haki."

"Domineering?"

"Yes, it is domineering, an aura that shocks people."

"Then how can we cultivate 'dominance'?"

Qin Zhibo thought briefly and shook his head lightly.

"There's no way to cultivate, it's natural."

Ishikawa Goemon: "..."

While everyone was discussing on the rooftop, the bells in the city rang again.

The loud and resonant bell rang nine times, which meant that it was now 9 o'clock, and there was only half an hour left before the official start of the coronation ceremony.

Everyone looked at each other, confirmed their eyes, and decided to go to the coronation ceremony immediately.

Everyone simply went downstairs and took two cars, one was Lupine III's car and the other was the Zenigata Police Department's car.

Eleven people, including two children, were just big enough in two cars.

Moreover, Ishikawa Goemon never sat on the seat when taking transportation, because he could not meditate on the seat, so he jumped directly on the roof of the car and sat cross-legged to meditate.

Qin Zhibo and Conan, the "father and son", were riding in Lupine III's car. The car had a lot of space. Lupine III and Daisuke Jigen sat in the front seat, the father and son sat in the back, and Ishikawa Goemon sat on the roof.

Qin Zhibo took a look and found that there was one person missing in the car, Fujiko Mine.

Turning around and looking at the car next door, Fujiko Mine was not there either.

At this time, Lupine III in the front seat suddenly said: "Fujiko has something to do temporarily, so he won't go today~"

Daisuke Jigen was confused, "Is it so sudden?"

But Lupine III didn't understand and shouted directly: "Everyone, hurry up and get ready to go!"

Under the mask, Qin Zhibo frowned slightly and glanced at Lupine III's meaningful smile in the rearview mirror of the car.

He felt that what the monkey man said was meant for him.

But before he could ask carefully what was going on, the car had already started.

After a few days of rest and repairs, the Fiat 500 has been completely repaired, regained its surging power, and drove out of the yard with flying colors.

When the Qian-shaped police officer behind him took a look, he stepped on the accelerator and was not to be outdone.

"Hurry up! Let's catch up with them!"

Don't ask, asking is just another occupational disease.

At the same time, by the window of the apartment building, "Mao Lilan" with a sly smile looked at the two cars driving away from the yard one after another, and waved a few fingers up and down in front of the window, making a farewell gesture.

"Bye, bye~"

When he went downstairs just now, Fujiko Mine quietly left the team, not intending to watch the coronation ceremony with everyone.

The reason was that when she was watching the duel just now, she suddenly thought of how she could regain the position from "Little Head Daddy".

When we were on a plane together before, I used drugs to plot against "Little Head Dad" but failed. Instead, he was knocked unconscious and two wads of US dollars were taken away.

Although the money lost is not much, the loss of face is a big deal.

Therefore, Mine Fujiko has to find a way to get the situation back from "Otou Dad", which is to steal things.

During the duel just now, Fujiko Mine accidentally noticed that the Chelsea shoes on the feet of "Little Head Dad" looked very expensive.

It is made of golden patent leather, exquisite workmanship, and is inlaid with very precious red and emerald stones. It is estimated to be worth a lot of money.

Fujiko Mine decided to steal the shoes to compensate for her "loss".

She moved away from the window and walked lightly to the room rented by the "big-headed son and small-headed father" combination.

Turn the doorknob, and of course it's locked.

But it doesn't matter. For a female thief like her who specializes in pretty jobs, such a door lock is just a piece of iron wire.

Fujiko Mine took out the wire and poked it in the keyhole. After a few times, the lock cylinder clicked and the door opened.

She quickly pushed the door open and didn't forget to close the door behind her back.

The room was neatly tidied, but Fujiko Mine immediately stared at the black backpack placed on the table.

Got it!

She looked happy and hurriedly walked to the backpack and unzipped it.

The most obvious thing inside was the pale mask, the one the man wore during the duel just now.

But Mine Fujiko took it up and weighed it, and the surprised expression on her face immediately turned cold.

This is the most common wooden mask in the market. It has no expensive inlays and is not exquisite in craftsmanship. It is not even as valuable as the golden mask worn by the father and son.

Fujiko Mine threw it away, threw the mask on the sofa next to her, and went to fumble for other things in her backpack.

But what surprised her was that there were no other meaningful things in the backpack, namely some medicinal powder, men's underwear, socks, etc.

What about Chelsea shoes?

What about the yellow robe?

What about the sword?

Mine Fujiko immediately lowered her requirements. As long as she could find any of these three things, she would not be at a loss.

But she rummaged through the whole room like a crazy woman, searching every corner carefully, but she didn't even find any trace of these three things.

what's the situation? !

Fujiko Mine had a surprised expression, although it was Mao Lilan's face.

She clearly remembered that when the man came back, his clothes and shoes had changed back to normal. Logically speaking, these two things should be placed in her room.

Can I still take it with me?

Fujiko Mine shook her head. She felt that it was impossible for normal people to hide so many things on their bodies.

Forget about the robe, how could the shoes and sword be hidden on a person without being discovered by anyone?

How could this be possible without Doraemon's treasure bag?

Therefore, she still felt that Qin Zhibo had hidden things in the apartment building, but not in his room, but in any corner of the apartment building.

Fire hydrants, ventilation ducts, mailboxes, trash cans... these are all possible places.

"Huh, I don't believe I can't find it..."

Fujiko Mine sneered and immediately started a "cleaning operation" for the entire building.

…

On the other side, Qin Zhibo, who was sitting in the car, did not realize that his hometown had been stolen.

In other words, I don’t care what will happen to those worthless junk things in my “hometown”.

Underpants, rotten socks, whatever, you can take whatever you want.

He turned to look out the car window. A large number of people had gathered on both sides of the street, and a large number of police cordons were set up to maintain order on the street.

And at every intersection along the parade route, police officers set up checkpoints to check vehicles, and only those with special passes were allowed to enter the parade route.

The front windows of Lupine III and the Zenigata Police Department had already been affixed with the pass given by Royal Guard Captain Keith, and they easily drove into the parade route, enjoying the attention of the people on both sides of the street, and drove into the palace with great swagger.

In the parking lot of the palace, dozens of luxury cars have been parked. They are dignitaries from all over the world who came to congratulate them, as well as prestigious elites from all walks of life.

Everyone found an inconspicuous corner to park their cars. After getting off the car, they headed to the auditorium under the guidance of the welcome guests.

The entire coronation process is as follows. First, some simple meeting ceremonies are performed in the palace, and then the procession begins.

According to previous coronations, the process started from the palace and went all the way to the Cathedral of Vespagna for the coronation.

However, Keith judged that the terrain of the cathedral was not suitable for heavy defense, so the coronation started from the palace. After the procession, he returned to the palace for the coronation.

In this case, all the troops only need to concentrate on protecting one part of the palace.

Therefore, Keith was most worried about unexpected situations during the parade.

Although he has set up heavy firepower at every commanding point along the parade route, he still cannot be 100% assured.

Therefore, Keith arranged for these people who had participated in "Operation Palace" to march with the parade convoy.

These include: Qin Zhihiro, Conan, Mouri Kogoro, Kudo Yusaku, Zenegata Koichi, Lupine III, Jigen Daisuke, Ishikawa Goemon.

As for Mao Lilan and the "Conan" of this world, one has changed his body and is an elementary school student. In theory, he has no fighting ability.

In addition, the matter itself was too dangerous, so I simply stayed in the palace throughout the whole process, just like the distinguished guests from other countries who came to watch the ceremony, and just watched the live broadcast.

The group of people walked on the red carpet that was laid all the way to the entrance of the palace. The guards on both sides stood straight, but some of the guards still had small scars on their faces.

Although they had been covered up as much as possible with foundation, it could still be seen that these guards had suffered trauma not long ago.

And when these guards saw Lupine III and Ishikawa Goemon, their eyes subconsciously dodge to the side.

"hey-hey……"

Lupine III shook his head in embarrassment. These guards were the same ones that he and Ishikawa Goemon had beaten up before.

The ceremony was held in the auditorium on the east side of the palace.

The place is very gorgeously decorated, the palace is resplendent, and all kinds of bright crystals are decorated everywhere as far as the eye can see, as if they are free of charge.

The group of people prepared to enter, but the guards responsible for security inspection at the door blocked their way.

Because clearly someone broke the rules.

Ishikawa Goemon held his Zantetsu sword and passed through the metal detection door openly, which immediately triggered the harsh alarm sound of "beep beep beep".

The guests inside were attracted by the sound and turned around to look. It was a long-haired man in a kimono who was stuck at the security checkpoint at the door.

"Sir, please leave this knife with us for safekeeping. We will return it to you after the ceremony."

The guard's attitude was quite polite.

But Ishikawa Goemon had a cold face and said coldly: "A true swordsman will never leave his body with his sword..."

"Forehead……"

These words made the surrounding atmosphere a bit awkward, because even Lupine III could not make Ishikawa Goemon give up his sword.

Fortunately, at this time, a voice came from not far away.

"Let them come in, they are friends I invited..."

The guard turned his head to look, immediately put his legs together and saluted.

"Captain Chiss!"
