The Grammatical Investigator in Conan

Rice Flower Department Store, main entrance, beverage shop.

A man with wavy blond hair crossed his legs leisurely, ordered a cup of coffee, and asked the clerk for a fashion magazine.

Since Qin Zhibo chased "Qianye" during the last celebration of Mihua University, using his original face now will definitely arouse "Qianye"'s vigilance.

So this time, Qin Zhibo simply used the face of "Michael Bay".

However, this face also has a disadvantage, that is, Kuroba Kaito made the appearance of this human skin mask too high.

After just sitting in the beverage shop for an hour, Qin Zhibo was approached by four girls from passers-by.

Qin Zhibo spoke fluent Hawaiian-accented English and had erratic conversations with them, and declined their invitations to further activities.

But even so, the girls still enthusiastically left notes with their phone numbers written on them.

"so boring……"

"How's it going there?"

The voice of Kuroba Kaito complaining came from the wireless microphone.

For a phantom thief, this kind of patient detective work is completely out of character for him.

Terai Kinosuke usually does the work of visiting locations and collecting intelligence. Kuroba Kaito's only mission is to put on a good show in the spotlight.

Qin Zhibo also lamented boredom in line with Kuroba Kaito's mood.

"It's quite boring. I got chatted up by four girls in an hour..."

"What?!"

A young man's surprised voice came from the dim underground garage.

"You have such good luck?!"

"It's not luck, it's Uncle's charm... If charm is a sin, then Uncle's sin is serious."

"yue...that's not because the mask I made is so handsome~"

"No, No, No~ Handsomeness and charm are not the same thing; just like mental illness and stupidity are not the same thing."

The two of them chatted about each other, which relieved the boredom of waiting.

During this period, Qin Zhibo suddenly thought of a case long ago.

"By the way, do you know that someone died in the garage you are monitoring now not long ago..."

"Has anyone died?"

In the dim garage, Kuroba Kaito felt a slight chill, his body trembled, and he glanced around at the shiny vehicles around him.

"How... died?"

"The one who was killed was a hot girl. Her head was smashed with a hammer. Her death was quite tragic."

"Is this...is this really happening?"

Looking at the unusually calm underground parking lot, Kuroba Kaito couldn't imagine that such an appalling thing had ever happened here.

"Have you not read the reports on this case? I was the one who reasoned about this case..."

Qin Zhibo told Kuroba Kaito the whole story of the case.

To be honest, a long time has passed and his memory of this case is not too deep, and many details have been forgotten.

However, the murderer was an underground garage security guard with a grim expression, and Qin Zhibo remembered this clearly.

The security guard once had a child who was hit by a minor while driving.

He listened to the information sent by a website called "Curse of the Dead", which said that he needed to collect the hair of five women, one of whom must be the murderer of his child, in order to resurrect his son.

Therefore, the security guard specifically attacked the hot black girls dressed similarly to the murderer and obtained their hair.

The hot girl who was killed in the underground garage of Mihua Department Store was the murderer who killed his son with his car.

However, the security guard failed to complete his trick in the end. He died in the police interrogation room in front of the police.

Later, with the in-depth investigation of the case, Qin Zhibo learned that the "Curse of the Dead" website was established by Tomonori Kinoshita, a member of the Voodoo Cult, in order to develop followers.

However, the people behind the scenes who provide network technical support for this website are black organizations.

Because in the subsequent full moon incident, Belmode used someone's verbal curse on the boss posted on the "Curse of the Dead" website to force him to carry out the murder plan on the ghost ship.

This incident reminded Qin Zhibo of the relationship between black organizations and voodoo.

If black organizations provide support behind Voodoo's entry into Japan, then the genuine voodoo spells of Voodoo may also be used by black organizations.

In this case, the black organization will be even more terrifying...

Especially if the original security man really followed the method given by Kinoshita Tomonori, would his son really be... resurrected?

…

Another two hours passed, and Qin Zhibo and Kuroba Kaito still didn't wait for "Chiba" at the two entrances of Rice Flower Department Store.

Although Qin Zhibo still has a lot of patience, his bladder capacity is not allowed.

In addition, it was now twelve o'clock at noon, and I had not eaten anything serious in the morning, so I was already starting to feel hungry.

Qin Zhibo thought for a while and decided to go to the nearby bathroom to solve his bladder problem, and then go to the food store in the department store to buy some food.

Not only can he satisfy himself, but he can also give some to Kuroba Kaito.

As for the possibility of missing "Qianye" in the middle, Qin Zhibo is not worried.

After that, just scan it with the Find Object Charm to determine whether he is in this building.

Just as Qin Zhibo was about to stand up and leave the table, two familiar figures walked in from the revolving door of the store.

One of them is tall and plump, with the exquisite three-dimensional facial features of European and American women, but she wears worn glasses on her face, which somewhat seals her appearance.

Another man with a ferocious face had a wide chin, a drooping nose, and his hair was naturally disheveled. He looked a bit like the Indians Qin Zhibo met in the United States.

But he was more like the FBI agent named "Andre Kamel" when he went to the FBI headquarters in New York, USA.

And the European and American woman next to him is naturally Teacher Judy.

When the two of them walked together, they felt quite incongruous, like Beauty and the Beast.

When he saw an acquaintance, Qin Zhibo, who felt guilty, subconsciously wanted to cover his face with a fashion magazine, but thinking that he was Michael Bay's face now, he didn't seem to need to cover it.

He watched the two of them talking while walking into a coffee restaurant in the building.

Why are these two people here?

Qin Zhibo lowered his eyes slightly, thought about it in his mind, and soon came up with the answer.

The FBI probably hasn't given up on searching for Shuichi Akai yet.

When he was in the United States before, when he mentioned "Akai Shuichi", Kamel also looked very worried.

It is estimated that after that, Kamel took the initiative to apply to come to Japan to participate in the search operation.

The two of them probably came in for lunch at lunch time when they were searching nearby.

It has nothing to do with you, it’s better to avoid provoking it less...

Qin Zhibo closed the fashion magazine and stood up slowly without disturbing his bladder.

…

On the other side, just as Qin Zhibo guessed, the two of them ordered two cups of ice tea, two salads and two steaks each as soon as they sat down at the coffee restaurant.

"Miss Judy, do you want to continue searching in Sanchome this afternoon?"

"En..." Judy groaned, "Let me think about it."

As one of the few FBI agents besides James who has frequent conversations with Shuichi Akai, Judy is trying to recall every bit of the previous investigation by Shuichi Akai alone.

Shuichi Akai is the ace within the FBI. He has a high degree of freedom in action and does not even need to report to James in most cases.

No one can confirm or know the trajectory of his actions.

According to the FBI's internal judgment, Shuichi Akai's disappearance is likely to be related to places where he often acted alone.

Such places are Mihua Town and Aipido City.

However, Akai Shuichi has never said the specific places and routes.

Therefore, James recently sent all the FBI agents he could to various public places in Mihua Town and Aipido City, just to find useful clues in the vast sea of ​​people.

At the same time, there is a consensus within the FBI that Shuichi Akai’s disappearance should not be without warning.

Something must have happened to cause Shuichi Akai to suddenly disappear.

After a period of internal investigation and analysis, the FBI finally identified a major clue.

That is the disappearance of Shuichi Akai, which should be related to the "Assassination of Domon Yasuki" that happened before!

There were a lot of reports about this case at the beginning, and it can be said that it spread overwhelmingly and caused a stir in the city.

However, within two days, all reports were almost zero, and all relevant videos and photos taken by private individuals on the Internet, as well as the live broadcast at the time, were all deleted.

However, with the support of the FBI technical department, some online videos and photos were restored.

One of the photos shows a passerby taking a photo of the Japanese police arresting the suspected terrorist who shot Yasutei Domon.

The "terrorist" in the photo is wearing a black trench coat and a black hat on top of his long blond hair.

Although James has never seen it with his own eyes, he knows that this person is the "old enemy" Akai Shuichi once described - Gin!

Gin was caught!

This is considered an afterthought by the FBI.

James believes that such a major event as "Gin's arrest" must be inseparable from Akai Shuichi's manipulation.

It's just that he doesn't understand why Shuichi Akai, as the FBI in the United States, can mobilize the Japanese police to arrest Gin?

Could it be that Shuichi Akai was an undercover agent arranged by the Japanese police in the FBI in the United States?

Because Gin was caught in this way, he also knew that his undercover identity could not be hidden, so he simply stayed in Japan and did not come back?

James was a little confused, but at least he found the direction of investigation.

That is the city of Aipido where this important event took place, especially the place where the assassination took place, Aipido Park.

Therefore, most of the FBI agents are currently operating in Aipido City.

Only Judy relied on her own intuition and believed that Akai Shuichi was still hiding in Rice Flower Town.

Because she had felt from Akai Shuichi's words before that Akai seemed to have a special obsession with Mihua Town.

"Popcorn……"

Judy held the straw in her mouth, and the cool ice tea flowed down the translucent tube and into her throat.

Suddenly, an important piece of information flashed in her mind.

During a previous phone conversation, Shuichi Akai accidentally talked about a murder that occurred in the underground garage of the Rice Flower Department Store.

The murder was only reported immediately on the radio, and it took Shuichi Akai less than 20 minutes to arrive at the Rice Krispies Department Store.

This shows that Akai Shuichi's usual activity range is near the Rice Krispies Department Store.

And this Rice Krispies Department Store is the largest shopping mall with the most complete range of merchandise. If Shuichi Akai is still active around here, he will inevitably come here to purchase some daily necessities.

In this case, there is a high chance that someone here remembers what he looks like!

Thinking of this, Judy immediately straightened her back and stared at Kamel who was eating salad.

"Mr. Andre! How about we investigate this department store today?"

"here?"

Kamel put down his knife and fork, looking a little confused, "But there are many people here. If Mr. Akai wants to hide his whereabouts, he shouldn't show up here openly, right?"

Judy frowned. She could naturally think of what Kamel thought of.

But this was like a straw placed in front of a person who was about to drown. Even though the hope was slim, she had to grasp it.

Seeing the determination in Judy's eyes, Kamal couldn't say any more.

"Okay, I'll listen to you."

At this moment, the bell at the door of the coffee restaurant rang.

Ding--

With a clear bell ringing, a wheelchair was pushed in.

Sitting in the wheelchair was a gentle man with squinting glasses, and the person taking care of him behind him was a dark-skinned blond man.

As soon as this special pair entered the cafe, they immediately attracted the attention of the few customers in the cafe.

Especially women.

There is no other reason, it’s just that the two of them look really eye-catching.

The two came to a seat by the window, and the blond man moved the chair on one side so that his companion could sit in a wheelchair and eat.

"Miss, can you give me the menu you have?"

The waitress who was obsessed with the appearance of the man in the wheelchair quickly came to her senses and handed the menu to the blond man's hand with a blushing face.

"Vegetable salad, one with more salad dressing, one sirloin and one filet for steak, both medium rare..."

"Finally, two glasses of water, thank you."

The blond man ordered food for two people fluently.

During the whole process, the gentle man in the wheelchair just looked out the window silently, his eyes were not dull, but he didn't know what he was thinking.

Judy and Kamel were not far from the two guests at the table, so they couldn't help but glance over there.

"Men take care of men..."

"This combination is somewhat rare."

Kamel complained while chewing the steak in his mouth.

"Yeah." Judy responded in a low voice.

If these two people appeared in public places in this way in the United States, people around them would definitely suspect that they were gay.

Because first of all, there is no trace of blood relationship between these two people.

Secondly, the man in the wheelchair is very handsome and there is no shortage of women around him who want to take care of him.

"Maybe they are just ordinary friends..."

Judy commented in a low voice and said no more.

But her eyes were still looking towards the table over there unconsciously.

It's not that she is also obsessed with the other person's appearance, but she is secretly attracted by a certain unique temperament in the other person.

When the two people by the window picked up the two glasses of water brought by the waiter and drank from them, Judy's expression suddenly froze.

One of them is left-handed!
