The Grammatical Investigator in Conan

Another person next to the operating table lifted his mask, and it was Qin Zhibo's face that was revealed.

Conan and Kuroba Kaito's eyes widened with disbelief.

The two of them had the same idea at the same time.

Holy shit!

This dream is too real!

Even Lao Qin showed up!

However, what they didn't know was that Qin Zhibo was also very surprised when he saw the two of them appearing here.

This can be said to be a dream, but it is not a dream either.

This is a world that does exist, but can only be accessed through dreams.

Everything in the dreamland is "reality" in another dimension, including the two people standing in front of them.

When the two of them were talking to the villagers next to them, Qin Zhibo had already determined their identities.

The short one is undoubtedly Conan.

Since Conan is here, the tall man cannot be Kudo Shinichi whom he introduced himself, so it can only be Kuroba Kaito who bumped into Kudo Shinichi.

Will there be other people who bump into Kudo Shinichi?

Impossible, because no one else would be so mean-spirited to play Kudo Shinichi.

I didn’t expect Koizumi Anko’s magic props to actually work...

"Who the hell are you?"

"Is it from outside?"

The townspeople of Usa, who normally perform sterilization operations on cats, looked at the two people. The more they looked at them, the more they felt something was wrong and asked questions.

Qin Zhibo quickly helped explain, "These two are my sons. They are new here and don't understand the rules here..."

The citizen of Usa frowned, and after scanning back and forth, he found that there was no similarity in appearance between father and son, but the two brothers looked very similar.

Yes, he solved the case.

"Oh, you are also a miserable person..."

"Okay, I'll continue cutting the eggs."

The townspeople of Usa shook their heads, put on their masks, and continued to knife the blue cat who had just passed out.

Conan and Kuroba Kaito saw the rather professional lancets in the hands of Usa townspeople, and then they realized that this was not a cat slaughterhouse, but a place where cats were operated on.

It's just that when they first came to this world and saw rows of farmland and simple farmhouses, they thought this place was a dreamland with backward technology.

I didn’t expect that people here actually know how to sterilize cats?

"Let's not disturb others, let's go out and talk first..."

Qin Zhibo took the two newly adopted "big boys" out of the house and explained the situation here to them.

There is an overpopulation of cats here, so the trend of spaying and neutering cats is not abusing the cats.

And this operation has also been approved by the "Cat Commander".

Of course, that’s not what a neutered cat thinks…

"By the way, son, how did you get here?"

Qin Zhibo asked Conan in return.

Conan was startled for a moment and replied: "I am..."

Seeing Conan next to him admit his son's identity so smoothly, Kuroba Kaito's eyes widened.

Did he admit it so readily?

Not even a rebuttal?

I am indeed dreaming...

Conan explained to Qin Zhibo that he came out of the mouse tribe in the forest and met this young man named "Kudo Shinichi" on the road, and the two came here together.

Seeing Conan's serious little face say these words, Qin Zhibo suppressed the smile in his heart and suppressed the smile at the corners of his mouth.

This kid really thought he was dreaming...

Also met Kudo Shinichi?

Conan met Kudo Shinichi?

Haha, what a joke!

"Ahem, yes, it seems that you have spent a lot of effort to get here..."

With that said, Qin Zhibo rubbed Conan's head.

Conan felt the familiar force above his head, and only two words came to his mind.

lifelike!

This dream was so realistic!

He knows that the so-called dream is a stitching of some important elements in the real world.

Therefore, whether "self" or "Qin Zhibo" appears in the dream, it is normal.

And "Qin Zhibo" calls himself "son", which is also based on the summary of the relationship between the two in the parallel world some time ago.

Kudo Shinichi is also called his son by "Qin Zhibo" because "Qin Zhibo" in reality already knows his true identity, so of course he will call them both sons together.

There is nothing wrong with this logic!

Now he is looking forward to meeting Mao Lilan in his dream. What will it be like?

But once Mao Lilan appears and kisses "Kudo Shinichi" as he always expected, what should he do?

Did I green myself?

…

Under the leadership of Qin Zhibo, the "father", the three of them entered the town of Usa.

Looking at the two new faces that appeared, some townspeople inevitably began to discuss quietly.

Some brave townspeople would come up to talk to Qin Zhibo, the "pioneer of Usa cat sterilization surgery", and ask what was going on with these two new faces.

Whenever this happens, Qin Zhibo will introduce it very proudly.

"These two are my sons!"

"The big one's name is Kudo Shinichi, and the little one's name is Conan."

Conan: Actually, both of them are me...

Kuroba Kaito: Fortunately, the name reported before was Kudo Shinichi, not Kuroba Kaito...

"Oh~" The town citizen's aunt bent down and looked at Conan, squinted her eyes and smiled: "Your little son is quite cute, with such a big head~"

An aunt next to him also stood in front of Kuroba Kaito with a smile on his face, stretched out his hand and squeezed his arm, feeling a little emotional.

"The eldest son has a pretty face, but his arms are a bit thin, so he's not good at farm work, right?"

"Yes, a child as thin as a dog should find a wife who is willing and capable to support the family..." an aunt next to her added.

"Hey, I remember Jennifer doesn't have a partner yet, right? I think Jennifer is good at farm work, and her body is as strong as an ox like her father's. Most young men don't look down on her!"

"Indeed, young man, are you interested in marrying a cow..."

The more Aunt Usa talked, the more outrageous she became. She was no different from the Aunt Osaka in her impression.

The two of them were annoyed by this random pairing. They had people they liked in real life, and they couldn't cheat in their dreams.

What's more, for a woman who is as strong as a bull!

"Stop it!"

"Stop it!"

The two shouted at the same time, frightening the aunts around them.

Qin Zhibo quickly reconciled with a smile, "My two sons are new here, I will take them to meet the elders first..."

"Okay, then you go and do your work first, we won't disturb you."

"By the way, Mr. Qin, when can I arrange for my cat to have surgery?"

"Yes, I've heard that too. After the operation, the cat no longer jumps up and down, and no longer barks at night. It's great!"

"And my cat..."

Qin Zhibo replied to these aunts one by one, and then they knitted the sweaters in their hands and continued to talk and laugh back to the roadside.

Conan and Kuroba Kaito looked at these aunts and couldn't help but sigh in their hearts.

What a bad dream…

Qin Zhibo noticed the expressions of the two and knew what they were thinking, so he comforted them: "Don't worry about these details."

"The people here are simple and hospitable. No one has any ill intentions. It's just that it's your first time here and I'm just a little curious..."

Conan and Kuroba Kaito looked at each other, and for some reason, they saw confusion in each other's eyes.

First time here?

He said it as if he would come again in the future...

…

According to the rules of Usa Town, no matter where the outsider comes from, he must first go to the white tower on the top of the mountain to meet the elder of Usa Town, the wise Atal.

The three of them climbed to the top of the mountain along the cobblestone road, and a solemn and holy round tower stood in front of them.

Lush ivy climbed all over the outside of the stone tower, making Conan and Kuroba Kaito, who had just arrived, froze in place.

"come in."

Qin Zhibo pushed open the wooden door under the white tower. Inside was a huge space similar to a chapel, which was called the "Holy Shrine" by the locals in Ussa.

The temple is decorated with various colorful flowers and rows of wooden benches, with an ivory white podium at the end.

"We're going to meet the elders here later. It's best to speak respectfully."

"Of course, if you want to know anything, you can ask."

Qin Zhibo warned the two of them to prevent them from overindulging themselves in their dreams and causing trouble that would end badly.

While Qin Zhibo went inside to look for the elders, Conan and Kuroba Kaito had no reason to stand still and went around to check.

Conan originally wanted his clone "Kudo Shinichi" to go to the other side to take a look, but it turned out that he had already gone to the side.

The person in this dream is quite intelligent...

Conan saw this and walked straight to the other side.

On the walls on the left and right sides of the shrine, there are some decorations, including handicrafts, picture frames, etc.

Conan slowly walked past the decorations.

Colored glass beads, agate plates, dried garlands, gold necklaces...the decorations repeatedly wander between valuable and worthless.

Conan guessed that these items should have certain significance to this town.

But I shouldn’t have been to a museum or anything like that recently? Why do you dream about these?

Medieval museum?

But that's been a while, right?

Suddenly, a painting broke into his eyes.

This is a landscape painting of a vast ocean and huge mountains. The painting is equivalent to the length of Conan's arm.

What made Conan stop was not these exquisitely painted oceans and mountains, but the hazy clouds at the top of the mountains, with strange-looking beings.

They are either human beings, animals, human heads and animal bodies, or animal heads and human bodies.

In Conan's eyes, these unknown beings danced with the moonlight on the top of the mountains, as if there was a beautiful palace sitting there for them to have fun.

This artistic conception was so dreamy that Conan tried his best to recall in his mind which painting in reality this was based on.

But after thinking hard for a while, he couldn't think of an answer.

On the other side, Kuroba Kaito's eyes also fell on a painting.

This painting was much simpler than the one Conan saw on the opposite wall. The painting method was a bit immature, and the rough lines showed the artist's haste.

But the content on the painting also attracted Kuroba Kaito's attention.

Just because in the center of the painting is a man wearing a cloak and a top hat, holding a budding rose on his fingertips.

The man gave the rose to the little girl in front of him, while other children and adults clapped their hands in surprise.

This man looked more and more familiar to Kuroba Kaito.

Until he saw a slender chain hanging from the corner of the man's eye in the painting, as well as the semicircular outline around the eye socket.

This is a monocle!

This person's identity is a magician!

Kuroba Kaito recognized that the scene in this painting was exactly the scene where the magician conjured roses for the audience.

Judging from the architectural lines and colorful flower decorations outlined in the painting, this scene is the shrine where he is now.

Has a magician ever visited this place?

What's even more amazing is that in his eyes, the magician looks more and more like that man...

Father?

"S-Sister Xiaolan!"

Suddenly, Conan's surprised voice sounded from behind Kuroba Kaito.

Kuroba Kaito quickly looked back and saw Conan's body disappearing into the air.

This is……

Kuroba Kaito's own spirit was also affected and wavered. The sleepiness in his brain gradually disappeared, and the person gradually disappeared into the air.

By the time Qin Zhibo came here with Elder Atal, they were nowhere to be seen in the holy temple.

"Um??"

…

Maori Detective Agency. third floor.

Conan lay on his back on the bed and looked at Mao Lilan kneeling next to him in surprise.

"Conan, you're going to be late for school if you don't get up~"

Conan tilted his head, and from an excellent squinting angle, he could vaguely see the pure white area between the sky blue pleated skirts, and his already rosy face instantly turned redder.

"Huh? Why is your face so red? Do you have a cold?"

The sound reached Conan's ears a little hazy, but he understood what Mao Lilan said based on his mouth shape and habits.

"No, no!"

Mao Lilan didn't listen to Conan's explanation. She lifted up her bangs and placed them on Conan's forehead.

Tie Tie~

"Huh? It's not hot..."

"Sister Xiaolan, I'm fine, I'll get up right away..."

"Then hurry up~"

Mao Lilan stood up and left, followed by a fragrant breeze.

Conan looked at the beautiful figure of his future wife, a little absent-minded, imagining that after getting married, he would be able to enjoy Xiaolan's wake-up service every day.

Now it’s just practice in advance~

But he soon woke up from his fantasy time, put on his glasses, got up, folded the quilt, went to the toilet to pee, washed his face and brushed his teeth.

While brushing his teeth, Conan couldn't help but think back to the dream he had just had.

Dreaming about "myself" and dreaming about Qin Zhibo, it's really a strange dream...

The only thing that is not surprising is that Qin Zhibo calls himself "son" whether in or out of dreams.

Thinking of this, Conan couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth slightly.

Eh?

Why am I laughing?

…

The Zhibo Detective Agency on the other side is also on the third floor.

Wearing pajamas, Kuroba Kaito sat on the bed with a dull expression, his mind still thinking about the "dream" he had just experienced.

The dream just now...

At this time, Qin Zhibo, who was on the bed next to him, also opened his eyes and slowly sat up as if a zombie was coming to life.

The two turned their heads to each other, their eyes meeting in the air.

Suddenly, Kuroba Kaito, who had confirmed his eyes, suddenly woke up and pointed at Qin Zhibo and shouted.

"Europe--!"

"Oh it's you!"
