The Grammatical Investigator in Conan

Since the black Hummer with a new license plate was still moving, Hiroki Sawada needed to use the monitoring system to provide real-time movement information.

So, Qin Zhibo lent the USB flash drive to Mary.

When Qin Zhibo said goodbye to Mary and walked out along the hospital corridor, a short-haired girl wearing a jacket and carrying a luggage bag hurried past.

The name above the girl's head was Mary's daughter - Sera Masumi.

It is estimated that she heard the news of her mother's injury and rushed over from Wimbledon...

When he was at the central court, Qin Zhibo also saw Sera Masumi who was moving with Conan.

After Sera Masumi ran over, she suddenly stopped and looked back with a dazed look.

Looking at the man's back as he left, she felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity in her heart.

But she immediately retracted her thoughts and turned back to continue running towards the ward.

After being confirmed by MI6 at the door, Sera Masumi entered the ward.

Half an hour ago, when she heard the serious tone of the MI6 personnel at the Wimbledon Stadium, she thought she would see a weak Mary lying on the bed with her eyes closed.

Especially when she heard the personnel telling her to go to the hotel to get a set of clean clothes, she was ready to take care of the patient in the hospital for a long time, and brought her own change of clothes.

But when she entered the ward, she saw Mary sitting by the bed and taking off her clothes.

The pure white hospital gown was taken off, revealing the fair skin and proud figure underneath.

"Mom!"

"What are you doing?!"

Sera shouted, hurried forward and asked.

Mary turned around and stretched out her hand to Sera, "Did you bring the clothes?"

"Um..."

Sera handed the luggage bag in his hand to Mary.

The latter pulled out a set of clothes from the luggage bag, but just as she was about to change, she found that it was much smaller than her size.

Mary cast a puzzled look, and Sera explained: "Those are my clothes..."

Mary searched inside the luggage bag again and found her own clothes.

After Mary changed her clothes, Sera asked.

"Mom, I left my friends and rushed back immediately after hearing that you were in trouble... What happened to you?"

"There were indeed some unexpected situations..." Mary checked the wound on her forehead in the mirror and said, "The plan that I carried out with that old acquaintance was successful."

"The 'Akai Wuwu' who appeared in London in the past three years was indeed disguised by someone else..."

Hearing this, Sera's eyes were a little disappointed.

"We had already caught the person disguised as Wuwu, but he was rescued by others halfway."

"Now we are going to chase that person..."

"Chase someone?"

Sera Masumi spread out his palms, "But it's been a long time now, right? Can the other party's movements be grasped?"

"Yes."

Mary pointed to the laptop on the table, "With it, we can..."

Sera turned his head to look at the patient's table, and then he found that the computer was showing a surveillance picture of a street.

Next to the surveillance picture, the image of a little boy was blushing and covering his face in the lower right corner.

"What is this?" Sera asked bluntly.

Mary: "This is a computer program called AI, which can help us screen all the road surveillance in London and find the target."

"So powerful?!"

Sera held the computer with both hands and looked at the little man on the computer screen curiously.

At this time, Mary also sorted out everything and stood up.

"Sera, you go with me this time and be my deputy."

"Me?"

Sera was a little surprised. Although she always yearned for excitement, Mary never took her with her when she encountered such a potentially dangerous action.

However, Mary also saw her doubts and took the initiative to explain: "This operation is not a mission of MI6, but a sister is going to find the sister who is lost outside the field..."

"What?" Sera was surprised, and then remembered who Mary was talking about.

"Mom, the person you are chasing, it can't be..."

...

On the other side, Qin Zhibo rushed to London City Hall after leaving the hospital.

In the square in front of the City Hall, several ambulances were treating the wounded on the spot.

There were also a large number of police cars registering the identities of tourists walking out of the City Hall.

Qin Zhibo walked to the edge of the cordon and saw that it was Kuroba Kaito's turn in the registration team.

"Name?"

"Kudo Shinichi."

"Are you here for tourism?"

"Yes."

"Where's your passport? Let me see..."

Kuroba Kaito handed his passport to the police, who checked it and returned it to Kuroba Kaito.

Then he asked Kuroba Kaito a few simple questions and let him go.

Qin Zhibo took the initiative to meet up with Kuroba Kaito.

"Where's Judy Hopper?"

"She's injured and has been sent to the hospital by ambulance." Kuroba Kaito replied.

"What about you?"

"I'm fine..." Kuroba Kaito's eyes were a little depressed.

Seeing this, Qin Zhibo didn't ask any more questions.

He also knew the current situation, and Kuroba Kaito must be blaming himself.

Although the zoo organization had planned to take action today and no one could have anticipated it in advance, the "Scarlet Tears" was snatched away under his nose after all.

"Okay, I'm a little hungry."

"Let's find a place to eat first..."

Qin Zhibo patted Kuroba Kaito's shoulder.

…

Under the setting sun, the backs of the two looked like a father and son.

But at this moment, Kuroba Kaito looked more like a child who had done something wrong.

Qin Zhibo took him to a roadside restaurant by the Thames, and the former ordered some dishes.

A quarter of an hour later, traditional British "delicacies" such as roast meat, pie, mashed potatoes, and French fries were delivered to the table by the waiter.

Although the taste of these dishes was limited, Qin Zhibo's stomach had already deflated after working all afternoon.

He picked up the knife and fork and immediately started to eat heartily.

However, Kuroba Kaito, who was sitting opposite the table, just stared at the food on the table dully, with no intention of eating at all.

When Qin Zhibo was halfway through eating, he stopped the knife and fork in his hand and suddenly said.

"What's wrong?"

"Just failed once, and you don't even have the courage to eat?"

Qin Zhibo's words made Kuroba Kaito's expression startled, and he slowly raised his head and looked at the man opposite.

"No, I just..."

"Just..."

Kuroba Kaito couldn't think of how to explain why he was so depressed that he couldn't even eat.

On the surface, he felt guilty for not being able to save the Crimson Tears and protect Judy Hopper.

But on a deeper level, Kuroba Kaito has never tasted failure since he was born.

Whether it's school studies, learning magic with Kuroba Toichi, or flirting with girls, Kuroba Kaito has been smooth sailing.

After becoming Kaito Kid, he fought wits and courage with the police, and he was able to gain an absolute advantage repeatedly.

Although he is a thief, he has countless diehard fans.

Even the killers sent by the zoo organization, Snake, Scoob, and Spider, have failed here one after another.

Except for the sudden "death" of Kuroba Toichi and his experience in the dreamland, which made him a little frustrated, Kuroba Kaito has never tasted failure so far.

Even if he occasionally lets his opponent succeed, the situation is completely under his control, and he will soon be able to turn the tide and become the final winner.

So far, Kuroba Kaito, who already had a dream start, has made people's lives a wonderful story.

And now, for the first time after winning for more than ten years, he has tasted the taste of failure thoroughly.

He believed that his magic could beat Spider's illusion, but he never thought that the opponent's illusion was so powerful that hundreds of people went crazy and rushed his magic venue.

He believed that his true identity would not be seen through, but the undercover Boer who infiltrated the Hober Magic Group guessed that his identity was Kidd.

He believed that he could grasp all the situations, but facing the mysterious organization, he only knew the tip of the iceberg.

This time, the opponent's long-planned active attack firmly occupied the initiative.

And it is impossible for him to strike back again this time...

Obviously, he had won countless times before, but just because of this one loss, the good situation was completely ruined.

Even if we know the approximate location of the Crimson Tear now, it will be very difficult to take the gem back from the opponent.

The key is that there is less than 24 hours left...

"Do you want to admit defeat or surrender?"

"Ah?" Kuroba Kaito was stunned, "Uncle, what are you talking about..."

Before he could finish, Qin Zhibo immediately said: "In my opinion, you don't want to eat, which is an act of actively admitting defeat to that organization."

"In that case, let me eat the food in front of you."

"Because uncle, I never know how to give up..."

Looking at Qin Zhibo who continued to lower his head and eat, Kuroba Kaito's eyes were stunned.

At this moment, he seemed to have learned from the mature man in front of him a truth that his biological father had never taught him.

The truths that Kuroba Toichi had taught him so far were all about how to be an elegant gentleman magician.

Keep a poker face at all times, this is Kuroba Toichi's classic saying.

But Qin Zhibo in front of him was teaching him a different truth.

The so-called "gentleman" is elegant, well-spoken, humble, sensible, and knows how to advance and retreat.

However, in the face of some extreme situations, gentlemanly style is a kind of restraint on human nature.

For example, when facing the desperate situation of a storm at sea, standing on the deck like a gentleman, unmoved, and not changing his face even if the mountain collapses in front of him.

Although this is very "cool", it will be slowly swallowed by the whirlpool and eventually drowned in the cold sea water.

Only by taking positive actions as a survivor, no matter how "ugly" it is, can it be possible to seize the last chance.

And the current situation does not require a gentleman with elegant manners, but a survivor who is about to drown.

In order to get the last chance, the survivor will do everything.

Although the posture of desperately grasping a life-saving straw may be a little ugly, it must be grasped desperately.

Only those who survive can continue to be a "gentleman".

At the moment, that life-saving straw is in front of him.

But Kuroba Kaito chose to give up with his actual actions.

Because he was wasting time by sitting in a chair and daydreaming even though he had little time left...

Thinking of this, Kuroba Kaito immediately picked up the knife and fork on the table and started to eat voraciously.

At this moment, he no longer cared about the gentleman's dignity and demeanor.

People can only move when they are full...

Looking at Kuroba Kaito who started to eat, Qin Zhibo praised him in his heart.

This kid has a good understanding.

Having experienced many things with Kuroba Kaito and Conan, the most obvious difference between the two is that Conan has a more desperate spirit and tenacious character than Kuroba Kaito.

No matter what kind of desperate situation, Conan will try his best to seize the opportunity even if he grits his teeth.

In fact, Conan often puts himself in danger for various reasons.

However, the most amazing thing about this super little guy is that he can always seize the slim chance of victory with his own wisdom and willpower.

Including this Wimbledon Stadium, although he took the detonator in advance, Conan also found Hades's location without Vermouth's information.

More than once, Conan turned the tide and successfully captured the criminal.

In Kuroba Kaito's experience, such a situation is very rare.

Kuroba Kaito is better at arranging puzzles and playing with the police, with a completely confident look.

However, as long as there is a slight unexpected situation outside the plan, he is somewhat unable to deal with it.

It is precisely because he has always been like this that he was repeatedly frustrated when facing himself and Conan at the beginning.

This difference in personal qualities determines that Conan is the elder brother, and Kuroba Kaito can only be the younger brother.

…

After finishing the meal, Qin Zhibo paid the bill and the two left the restaurant.

On the way back to the hotel, Qin Zhibo listened to the specific process described by Kuroba Kaito again.

In addition to what Kuroba Kaito said on the phone before, what surprised Qin Zhibo was that the undercover Boer actually recognized Kuroba Kaito's identity as Kaito Kidd.

Of course, this doesn't mean anything.

Because at this sensitive time, the Japanese who suddenly appeared in the Hober Magic Group is likely to be Kaito Kidd.

This reminded Qin Zhibo that he had also been to the rehearsal site of the Hobber Magic Troupe in his true appearance the day before the performance.

Will his face be remembered as well?

Qin Zhibo shook his head, thinking that now was not the time to think so much.

"From the direction, the current location of the Crimson Tears is southwest of London."

"Time is running out, I'm going to rent a car now, you go upstairs to the hotel to get your luggage, and we'll meet downstairs later."

Qin Zhibo and Kuroba Kaito temporarily separated.

On the way to the car rental company, Qin Zhibo thought about the information he had now.

Judging from the prophecy of the Black Pharaoh, the need for reincarnation should be true.

Because the Black Pharaoh was once a mortal after all, even if he was resurrected as a god, he should have a human body as a container.

In addition, this reincarnation process should require a ceremony of some size.

And the place where the ceremony was held should be the place of the final decisive battle.
