The Grammatical Investigator in Conan

"By the way, Mary, is Masumi back this time?"

"I haven't seen Zhenchun for three years. I guess the boyishness in him has faded somewhat now, right?"

Yasuharu Haneda in the wheelchair suddenly mentioned Sera Masumi.

Mary smiled softly and shook her head, "Zhenchun is not with us this time. She will come back later."

"But in terms of boyishness, there is still no change from before..."

"Haha~" Haneda Yasuharu chuckled twice.

"By the way, Kang Qing..." Mary asked again: "Where does Hideyoshi live now?"

"Hideyoshi..."

Haneda Yasuharu took a long breath, "He moved to an apartment outside a few years ago. He said he could concentrate on playing chess."

"Are you going to see him next?"

Mary nodded.

"Okay, then I'll give you his address."

Yasuharu Haneda maneuvered the wheelchair to the table, picked up a pen and wrote the address on the note paper.

Suddenly, he raised his head again.

"By the way, Mary, did you know?"

"That kid Hideyoshi seems to have someone he likes..."

…

Since they had eaten at 10 a.m., Qin Zhibo and Akai Mari did not stay at Haneda House for lunch.

When the two came out of Haneda House, Qin Zhibo originally wanted to drive directly to Nagano Prefecture.

Qin Zhibo was very curious about Kuroda Bei, whom he had never seen before.

What kind of person would Toru Amuro's immediate superior be?

But Mari said that as Hideyoshi's uncle, he should at least meet once after not seeing him for so many years.

As a result, Qin Zhibo could only postpone his plan to go to Nagano Prefecture for half a day.

Haneda Hideyoshi's address is the Kage Mihana Building, which is not far away.

After driving for 20 minutes, the two arrived at the downstairs of Yingmihua Building.

The reason why it is called the Kage Yoneka Building is because this building and the Kage Yoneka Building next door are two symmetrical buildings.

Among the towering trees, the two buildings faced each other across several streets.

However, unlike the commercial Mihua building, this Yingmihua building is a high-end residential apartment specially built for wealthy people.

Exclusive butler service for building residents. Even the glass door on the first floor of the building can only be entered by entering the password preset by the owner.

This has the advantage of preventing people from disturbing the cleanliness of the residents in the building.

Qin Zhibo parked his car in the parking lot under the building and came to the door of the building with Mary.

Mary entered the password given by Yasuharu Haneda into the password machine at the door, and the glass door automatically opened to the left and right.

Entering the lobby on the first floor of the apartment, there was a manager who looked like a butler standing behind the front desk, smiling and asking the two of them.

"You two, please stay."

"If you two are visitors and have not made an appointment in advance, please register here before entering the building."

The management of the building is very strict. If it is a strange face, it cannot be easily entered even with a visitor password.

Qin Zhibo and Mary could only come to the front desk and fill in their names and the person to visit on the registration form.

The building manager picked up the registration form and took a look at it, his expression suddenly stunned.

"Are you going to visit Mr. Haneda in Room 1801?"

"Yes." Mary nodded.

The building manager smiled and replied: "Actually, Mr. Haneda went out an hour ago. He is not at home now."

The administrator then added: "But according to past habits, Mr. Haneda will be back before 12:30 every day."

"You two can wait in the reception room over there for a while..."

Qin Zhibo and Mary turned to look at the clock at the front desk of the lobby. It was still half an hour before 12:30.

Half an hour is not enough time to go out and do something, so it is best to wait here.

Just as Qin Zhibo was about to go to the reception room instructed by the administrator, Mary started chatting with the building administrator.

"Hello, may I ask if there is a woman you are close to around Haneda often?"

"A woman you are close to?" The administrator was stunned, then his eyes lit up and he smiled: "You are talking about Miss Miyamoto, right?"

"Ms. Miyamoto did often come to Mr. Haneda's house before, but we haven't seen him again in the past few years."

"What does Miss Miyamoto look like? What does she do?" Mary's expression became serious, like a detective questioning a prisoner.

"Ah?" The administrator was stunned and a little embarrassed, "So..."

"She is a very beautiful woman. She seems to be a police officer by profession..."

"police?"

Akai Marie's eyes changed slightly, and she stood there thinking.

Qin Zhibo looked at Mary's serious look and knew that she was beginning to investigate her future daughter-in-law.

This is how mothers are, even if they don't show up for a long time, they are still concerned about their children's marriage.

At this moment, the glass door of the apartment building was opened with a key, and a tightly covered man walked in.

Since the man entered with a key and was a resident by default, the administrator did not ask.

Qin Zhibo watched the man hurriedly pass by in the middle of the hall and went straight into the elevator.

His intuition told him that this man must have something on his mind.

Because when the man passed by the front desk, he saw that he and Mary were also at the front desk, and there was a hint of panic in his eyes.

He didn't want to be seen.

This can be seen from the hat on his head and the scarf on his face.

It's a pity that the man has gone upstairs now, and since he is only a visitor, he is not allowed to go upstairs yet, so there is no way to find out the man's identity.

At this time, Mary and the administrator also finished chatting.

"Thank you then, Mr. Administrator."

"Where, where..."

Qin Zhibo and Mary entered the living room and waited.

After waiting like this for half an hour, a figure finally appeared at the door.

Qin Zhibo and Mary, who were each looking at their phones, looked up at the same time.

I saw a tall and thin man wearing a turquoise green kimono standing at the door. He had a sad beard on his chin, his hair was raised, and his face was a little sloppy.

However, underneath the sloppy appearance, it can still be seen that he has a good foundation, and he has perfectly inherited the knife-like handsome face of the men in the Akai family.

Qin Zhibo glanced at the message above the man's head, Haneda Hideyoshi, male, 28 years old, professional shogi player...

Social credit: 8900.

Qin Zhibo was stunned, such a high social credit?

"Mama Mary!"

Seeing Mary sitting on the sofa, Haneda Hideyoshi's eyes became excited under his lenses, revealing a cute smile like a child.

"Hideyoshi..."

Mary also stood up from the sofa with a smile on her lips.

Mother and son embraced warmly.

Akai Marie was already tall, but she was still a bit shorter in front of her now grown-up son.

When the two stood apart, Hideyoshi asked: "Mom, why did you suddenly come back to Japan?"

"And Zhenchun, she's back too?"

Facing Hideyoshi's question, Mary did not intend to explain it immediately. After all, the reasons were quite complicated.

"It's a long story. I'll tell you after I get upstairs..."

"By the way, look who this is?"

Mary turned sideways and directed Hideyoshi's eyes to Qin Zhibo.

Haneda Hideyoshi looked at Qin Zhibo and said without any hesitation: "I know, it's Uncle Qin~"

"In recent times, my uncle has solved many cases as a famous detective. I often see it in newspapers and TV..."

Haneda Hideyoshi has been living in Mihua, so he is no stranger to Qin Zhibo.

Qin Zhibo still felt a little awkward when he was suddenly called uncle by someone who was less than 10 years younger than him.

You know, the others who call themselves uncles are all minors in the same age group as Conan and Kuroba Kaito.

Especially when Haneda Hideyoshi was in a sloppy state, just looking at his face, he was almost a few years older than himself.

"No need to call me uncle, it makes me look older..."

"Just like Xiuyi, just call me Qin."

"Brother Shuichi?" Haneda Hideyoshi's expression changed, and he immediately caught the key point of Qin Zhibo's words, "Brother Shuichi has come to Japan too?"

"Well..."

Qin Zhibo looked at Mary, because it was her mother who decided whether to tell Hideyoshi or not.

Mary's face darkened, "That's exactly why we came here today."

"Let's wait until we get to the details upstairs..."

…

Haneda Hideyoshi lived on the 18th floor, room 1801.

Like most single men's homes, Haneda Hideyoshi's home was more...casual.

To put it mildly, it's sloppy.

Various daily necessities are placed randomly, everywhere on the sofa and dining table.

But the most impressive thing is the ubiquitous shogi board.

Whether in the living room, bedroom, or even the toilet, there is a shogi board, and the chess pieces on the board also have their own characteristics.

Some are end games, some are just beginning, and some are evenly matched.

"Sorry, I didn't expect you to come, so the room is a little messy..."

Haneda Hideyoshi scratched his head in embarrassment, and then started to clean up.

Mary walked around the environment where her son lived and asked casually: "You are not young anymore, why don't you find a woman to help you clean up?"

"F-woman?"

Haneda Hideyoshi, who was bending down to clean the sofa, was stunned for a moment, looked up at Mary, and then asked warily.

"Mom, did you hear anything from Dad Haneda?"

Mary did not beat around the bush and said directly: "Kang Qing said that you seem to have someone you like..."

"ah……"

Haneda Hideyoshi straightened his back and showed a happy smile, "I do already have someone I like..."

"But I plan to propose to that girl after I get 'seven'."

"Seven? What seven?" Qin Zhibo asked confused.

Haneda Hideyoshi explained with a smile: "It is the title of champion in the seven fields of shogi, namely chess king, king general, throne, chess master, throne, dragon king, and celebrity."

"Now I have got the other six besides celebrities, and I am only one short of reaching the seven-time crown!"

When it comes to his achievements, Haneda Hideyoshi is as proud as a child.

Mary couldn't help feeling relieved as she looked at her son who was now thriving in the field of shogi.

19 years ago, the Akai family and the Haneda family were on vacation on Hawaii Island and were entertained by Vince Qin, a distant relative of the Haneda family.

At that time, the three families suggested that since they came to Hawaii, a holy land for professional skills training, they might as well develop their children's interests and hobbies, which might come in handy in the future.

Originally, Qin proposed that Shuichi and Hideyoshi learn shooting with him.

However, Hideyoshi was so frightened that he cried when he heard the sound of gunshots, and could not learn at all.

Xiuyi, who is four years older, shows a keen interest in guns.

But when it comes to memory, Hideyoshi is very talented.

Therefore, Hideyoshi began to learn shogi from Yasuharu Haneda, who was already a talented professional shogi player at that time.

Xiuyi learned shooting from Qin.

After so many years, I didn't expect that the original choice was as magical as "catching the week", revealing the trajectory of their lives.

But now, she couldn't help but worry about the fate of her eldest son, Akai Shuichi.

"Hideyoshi, I came back to Japan this time because I have some things to deal with..."

"Do you still remember..."

bell--

Just as Mary was about to tell her about Elena, the doorbell at the door interrupted the voices in the house.

Haneda Hideyoshi turned his head and looked at the door, his expression also stunned.

"Strange……"

He murmured to himself and walked over to open the door.

Qin Zhibo and Mary stood in the corridor between the living room and the entrance, keeping an eye on the situation.

"Here, what's the matter?"

Haneda Hideyoshi opened the door and saw a petite and cute policewoman wearing a blue uniform with double ponytails standing at the door.

Behind the policewoman was a girl wearing a housekeeping apron, looking at him timidly.

With his superb memory, Haneda Hideyoshi recognized the girl as his next-door neighbor's helper at a glance.

Just as he was about to speak, he glanced to the side and saw an unexpected face.

The woman with that face was also lying next to the door of the neighbor's house next door, staring at him with a surprised expression.

Haneda Hideyoshi was surprised, and then a pink smile like a blooming peach blossom appeared on his face.

"Ah~~"

"Yumi Mei!"

Being greeted like this, the policewoman next door couldn't help but have a hint of disgust in her eyes.

At this time, the policewoman with twin ponytails standing at the door of Haneda's house also saw Qin Zhibo standing in the aisle behind the entrance.

"Eh?"

"Why is Mr. Qin here too?"

Qin Zhibo frowned slightly and recognized the policewoman at the door as Miike Miaozi who had previously asked him to investigate Qianye's whereabouts.

She is a newly transferred police officer from the Ministry of Transportation and has little interaction with him.

But since she appears here, could it be that the "Yumimi" in Haneda Hideyoshi's mouth is...

Yumi Miyamoto?

At this time, when the three little ones from the next door family were asking Miyamoto Yumi who this peach-faced man was, Conan heard Miike Naeko say "Mr. Qin".

His face was shocked and he hurried to the door.

I saw Qin Zhibo standing at the home of the suspect in the case, with a tall foreign woman standing next to him.

Qin Zhibo also saw Conan appearing at the door, and couldn't help showing a speechless expression.

Forehead……

Immediately guess, is there someone dead next door?
