The Grammatical Investigator in Conan

The next day.

Qin Zhibo drove back to Tokyo early in the morning.

On the way back, Kuroda Bei called to talk about the follow-up situation of the Woodpecker Club.

It turns out that the Woodpecker Club is an organization composed of black police officers within Nagano Prefecture.

Using the code name "X", they secretly sell the confiscated pistols.

There are not many people in this group, only Team Leader Takeda, who were killed by Shinsuke Akiyama, Akiko Kano, and Mamoru Saegashira who are still alive.

In the random shooting case of a drug-addicted man nine years ago and the bank robbery case of a gunman half a year ago, the gun in the hands of the prisoner was purchased from the Woodpecker Society.

This also led to Team Leader Takeda decisively shooting to death the criminals in the two cases in order to prevent the gun trafficking incident from being exposed. In fact, he killed the prisoners and silenced them.

As for the murderer in this case, Akiyama Shinsuke, his real name is Yukawa.

Nine years ago, his sister, who was in junior high school, became the victim of a random shooting incident by a drug-addicted man. She was hit in the head by a bullet and died.

From then on, Akiyama Shinsuke was determined to avenge his sister.

After becoming a police officer, he found out about the Woodpeckers and joined them.

His original plan was to kill the three Woodpeckers to avenge his sister.

Although Yamato Gansuke is not a member of the Woodpecker Club, his childhood best friend is the drug-addicted man nine years ago.

Akiyama Shinsuke hates everything, and needs someone to take the blame for him, so he plans to blame Yamato Gansuke for all this.

However, Yamato Gansuke also knew that he did not practice in the morning yesterday. Only Akiyama Shinsuke knew about it, so he had long been suspected.

Therefore, he deliberately separated from everyone and hid in the trunk of Zhufu Gaoming's car, just to see what kind of tricks Akiyama Shinsuke was playing.

Unexpectedly, Qin Zhibo did an even better job and hid it directly in the trunk of Shinsuke Akiyama's car...

Qin Zhibo was also surprised after hearing Kuroda Biewei's introduction.

Unexpectedly, the police in Nagano Prefecture were so capable that they were really keenly aware that Akiyama Shinsuke was the murderer.

Akiyama Shinsuke thought he was on the fifth floor, but in fact he was on the third floor, and everyone else was on a higher floor than him.

At the prefectural police headquarters, Yamato Gansuke and Morofuku Takaaki exchanged their views on the mole with the phrase "worms on a lion eat away at the lion's flesh" and acted in front of Shinsuke Akiyama.

In this case, even without him, it would only be a matter of time before the case was solved based on the strength of the Nagano Prefecture police.

"I see……"

"Then please tell Mr. Kuroda and Miss Uehara that this time it will be a draw."

"A draw?" Kuroda Heiwei on the phone asked in confusion, "What are you competing against?"

"Haha~ It's nothing, just a boring pastime..."

Qin Zhibo still remembers the bet he made with Yui Uehara, who could solve the case faster.

But this time everyone knew that Akiyama Shinsuke was the murderer from the beginning, so naturally there was no winner or loser.

"Okay..." Kuroda Hei didn't ask any more about the details of the competition, "I'll see you later."

Before hanging up the phone, Kuroda Heiye said something meaningful, which made Qin Zhibo thoughtful.

See you later?

It seems that I haven’t agreed on a time to meet him next time, right?

He said this as if we would meet again soon...

Qin Zhibo thought for a moment and then put down the phone.

There is one more thing that makes me so anxious to return to Tokyo today.

That is, Mao Lilan will participate in the finals of the Kanto region female high school karate competition today.

…

Tokyo Sports Arena.

In the corridor at the entrance of the venue, two figures, one tall and one short, were having a secret conversation.

"Remember, don't reveal your secret later..."

"This time even Xiaolan's mother is here. This is someone you have never seen before."

Conan put his hands in his pockets and looked up at the male high school student in front of him, his eyes full of helplessness.

"hey-hey……"

The male high school student laughed innocently and scratched the back of his head. The dark blue boy's uniform accentuated his handsome figure.

"Don't worry, how could I reveal my secret?"

"Besides, didn't Uncle Qin say he would come over too? If there is a risk of being discovered then, and Uncle Qin will tell the truth, what are you afraid of?"

"hehe……"

Conan grinned and smiled in an extremely coping manner.

Is this guy reliable?

This is the first time for me to have contact with my cheap cousin since I came back from London.

While in London, Conan met the Kuroba family under the introduction of his father Yusaku Kudo.

Not only did he learn that the male head of the Kuroba family was twin brothers with his father, he also learned that Kuroba and his son were the real Kaitou Kidd.

After that, although Conan was somewhat reluctant, under the supervision of both parents, the two juniors had to establish a "good" friendship.

This includes the temporary substitution of Kuroba Kaito for important occasions that require "Kudo Shinichi" to attend before Conan becomes big.

Today, Xiaolan participated in the Kanto Region Girls High School Karate Finals. She asked Kudo Shinichi to come over and see what she said on the phone.

Since returning from London, Xiaolan has been worried about Kudo Shinichi's injury.

Although Conan said on the phone countless times that he had fully recovered, Mao Lilan always said that he wanted to see it with his own eyes to feel relieved.

In addition, this competition is also the most advanced event that a karate player of Xiaolan's level can access, and it is also important to Xiaolan.

So Xiaolan hopes that Kudo Shinichi will appear so that she can compete with complete peace of mind.

Xiaolan spoke so sincerely on the phone that Conan couldn't bear to refuse.

It was not worthwhile to beg Haibara Ai for the antidote for such a trivial matter, so Conan called Kuroba Kaito.

If he hadn't been forced to do anything else, he really wouldn't have wanted to make this move.

But when the worst policy is used, it is often the best policy...

Bar?

"Try to speak as little as possible in the audience later..."

Conan wanted to give a few more instructions, but Kuroba Kaito interrupted him impatiently.

"I know, I know... let's go, the game will start later."

Kuroba Kaito put his hands in his pockets, bypassed Conan and walked towards the entrance passage.

Seeing this, Conan could only follow him quickly.

The two came to the auditorium, and under the leadership of Conan, they came to the front of Mouri Kogoro and Fei Eri.

"Uncle Maori, Aunt Fei, and brother Shinichi are here."

Hearing this, Mouri Kogoro just glanced at Kudo Shinichi, then continued to hug his shoulders without saying anything.

He was still angry about what happened last time in London.

In his opinion, the reason why Mao Lilan was kidnapped was because Kudo Shinichi was handling difficult cases in London, which led to him being targeted by his enemies.

Fei Yingli next to him smiled and greeted Kudo Shinichi in a friendly manner.

"Here he comes..."

"Sit down quickly, Xiaolan's game will start soon."

Fei Yingli was wearing a suit and uniform, and her makeup was exquisite. She obviously took the time to come over to watch her daughter play, and she had a case to be busy with after the game was over.

"Thank you, aunt."

Kuroba Kaito, who was dressed as Kudo Shinichi, thanked him and sat on the empty seat.

Although it was just a disguise, it actually didn't change her image much. She just changed her hairstyle and put on the Teidan High School uniform that Conan brought.

But as soon as Kuroba Kaito sat down, Suzuki Sonoko next to him came over.

"Kudo, I heard that you and Xiaolan are making good progress in London this time?"

"Would you like to hear it?"

Faced with Suzuki Sonoko's sudden question, Conan next to him drooped his eyelids and thought to himself, "Bapo".

Kuroba Kaito looked startled at first, then responded with a gentle smile and made a hissing gesture.

"Well...it's a secret between Xiaolan and I."

"I'm sorry I can't tell anyone else~"

Suzuki Sonoko was stunned when she saw the tone and movements of the "Kudo Shinichi" in front of her.

this……

When did Kudo Shinichi become so glib?

In her impression, Kudo Shinichi was quite straight, and his straightness was only slightly worse than that of Kyogoku, a straight man with terminal cancer.

At this time, Conan quickly stepped on Kuroba Kaito's foot to signal that he had gone too far.

At this moment, the whistle blew on the field.

"The women's semifinals will be held next, with players from the red side, Ekoda High School, and Ikawa Yuki..."

"Playing against, blue side, Didan High School, Maorilan players."

"The game begins!"

Following the referee's call, two heavily armed female high school students began to pose for confrontation.

The blue one among them is Mao Lilan. Although she is tightly wrapped in protective gear, the horns exposed from the forehead of the protective gear still betray her deeply.

On the other side is Mao Lilan's semi-final opponent, a short-haired girl who is even thinner than Mao Lilan.

The two faced off for a few seconds, and then Yi Chuanxue took the lead in attacking.

The two sides exchanged punches and kicks, and it was very lively for a while.

In the audience, Kuroba Kaito crossed his legs and watched the game in the center of the field with a leisurely expression.

Although he has no interest in martial arts or anything like that, he will make peace with it as soon as it comes.

But as he stared at the two people fighting on the field as the fight gradually became more intense, he suddenly felt something was wrong.

Yi Chuanxue...

Could it be the Yichuan Xue in our class?

Kuroba Kaito took another closer look, and through the tightly wrapped protective gear, he could tell that the red square who was fighting with Mao Lilan on the field was his classmate.

Yichuan Xue, a little girl in the class.

It is said that her parents were afraid that she would be easily bullied in school due to her small size, so she learned karate.

Previously, Kuroba Kaito was dragged by Nakamori Aoko to cheer for Ikawa Yuki's game.

As a result, Yi Chuanxue burst into tears because she lost to her opponent in the semifinals. People in the entire venue could hear her crying.

In the end, it was Kuroba Kaito who showed off his ancestral magic, which made people happy.

From then on, Kuroba Kaito vowed never to join in the fun again.

That’s right!

It seems that Qingzi said a few days ago that she would come to cheer for Yi Chuanxue...

Thinking of this, Kuroba Kaito quickly glanced towards the audience stand opposite.

In a square formation composed of uniform Ekoda High School uniforms, Nakamori Aoko and Momoi Keiko were clenching their fists and staring nervously at the field.

Next to Nakamori Aoko, Koizumi Anko sat with her legs crossed.

While Kuroba Kaito looked at Koizumi Anko, Koizumi Anko also smiled evilly, raised her right hand at the right time, and waved her five onion-like white fingers towards Kuroba Kaito on the opposite stand.

Forehead……

Why is she here?

Kuroba Kaito lowered his head and covered his forehead, feeling a headache.

It would be easy to fool Nakamori Aoko, but Koizumi Anko's intuition is terrifyingly strong.

I felt that my little secrets were exposed in front of this witch.

Forget it, I'll just hold on for a while.

The uncle should be here soon.

...

Soon, the first match of the semi-finals ended with Ran Maoli's victory.

When Ran Maoli and her opponent Ikawa Yuki bowed to each other, Ikawa Yuki couldn't even hold on for three seconds and burst into tears.

The kind-hearted Ran Maoli wanted to comfort her opponent, but was pushed away by other members of the Teitan High School Karate Club, saying that they had to prepare for the finals and couldn't be distracted by such things.

Moreover, after the game, if the winner comforted the loser, if the understanding was a little extreme, it would be considered as a deliberate mockery.

Similar to "taking in a disciple" and "transferring to a manual worker".

Ran Maoli could only step down and rest.

When the second semi-final contestants competed for the winner, it would be the final.

Ran Maoli, who was in the side rest area, turned her head to look at the stands, and sure enough, she saw Kudo Shinichi sitting next to Conan in the audience.

Shinichi...

Ran Maori mustered up her courage and waved to Kudo Shinichi who was standing on the stands.

Kuroba Kaito was stunned for a moment, but at Conan's urging, he also waved in response.

Now, with Kudo Shinichi's presence and support, Maori Ran is more confident.

And because of Maori Ran's wave, the other students in Teitan High School Class 2B who were sitting not far away were also surprised to see Kudo Shinichi.

"Isn't that Kudo boy?"

"Didn't he take a leave of absence before? Is he planning to return?"

"Let's go and ask him..."

A group of boys walked over through the aisle between the seats.

The sharp-eyed Conan saw the three people and was immediately shocked.

Not good!

It's Tanaka and the others!

But when Conan wanted Kuroba Kaito to avoid it, it was too late.

The three of them locked Kuroba Kaito's neck from behind and laughed, "Kudo! You didn't even tell us that you were back. You're not a good friend!"

"Yeah, where did you go during the time you disappeared?"

"But you knew to come to watch Mori's game on time. You're really a young couple! You have a good relationship!"

"Hahaha..."

The three of them joked with each other, making Kuroba Kaito feel a little uncomfortable.

"Well, I just came back too."

"But I don't plan to go back to school recently, so I'm sorry..."

Kuroba Kaito could only answer the questions of several people according to the standard answers he had checked with Conan in advance.

The three of them were not surprised to hear this.

Anyway, the top student in the grade never has to worry about their poor grades.

"Oh, you're such a good student, it doesn't matter if you miss your lessons, but you don't plan to participate in the school trip?"

"I heard that the location of this school trip is Kyoto!"
