The Grammatical Investigator in Conan

Qin Zhibo stood on the starboard deck of the cruise ship, facing the salty and humid sea breeze, looking at the endless dark sea in front of him.

This scene is like the New Foni cruise ship that Ye Caisan took in the case.

But the cruise ship that time was just an ordinary cruise ship, which is child's play compared to this luxury cruise ship that can easily carry thousands of people.

However, even though the "Aphrodite" has a deck height of 18 floors, it is like a small mountain in this sea area, but Qin Zhibo's heart is still very depressed at this moment.

The boundless darkness seems to be about to swallow up this lonely boat on the sea...

This reminds Qin Zhibo of a sentence.

Human beings live on a calm and ignorant island in a vast and endless black ocean.

This ocean contains endless secrets, but we should not sail too far or explore too deep.

The unknown under the mysterious sea - Cthulhu, is like Pandora's box in ancient Greek mythology.

Once opened, it will bring destruction to mankind.

And among humans, there is a group of people who are working on this.

…

“Hu…”

Qin Zhibo took a deep breath, loosened his grip on the railing, turned around and walked towards the stern deck, intending to go back after another turn.

This cruise ship has a total of five decks, including the stern deck of the ship’s tower, and Qin Zhibo is on the third deck.

There is only the sound of waves hitting the hull on the deck, and the dim wall lamps are lit every few meters.

Qin Zhibo slowly came to the stern deck, and just as he was about to step out from the corner, he stopped.

On the platform of the stern deck, several crew members in sailor uniforms gathered together, seemingly discussing something.

Although it is impossible for such a large ship to have everyone rest at the same time, there will be patrols and duty.

But these sailors gathered together, and it didn’t look like they were discussing work. Everyone’s face was a little inexplicably nervous, whispering something.

Qin Zhibo squinted his eyes slightly, just wondering if he could get closer to listen to what they were discussing, and he felt someone coming behind him.

He turned around suddenly and saw a man standing upright behind him with his hands hanging down.

The man had a gloomy look in his eyes, and he was wearing a white uniform and a hat that symbolized the captain.

"Sir, is there anything I can help you with?"

Qin Zhibo recognized that this man was the captain of the "Aphrodite", Hai Teng Du.

"No, I just couldn't sleep, so I came out for a walk."

Hai Teng Du's eyes narrowed slightly, and his drooping eyes and frozen expression made him exude a gloomy temperament.

"I recognized you, you are the famous detective Qin Zhibo."

"I think this voyage is absolutely safe, and there is no need for you to take action..."

"In addition, the wind and waves will intensify in the second half of the night. For safety reasons, you'd better return to the cabin."

Hai Teng Du deliberately raised his voice a little so that the crew members who were discussing things on the stern deck could also hear the movement here.

Several crew members immediately stopped discussing and turned their heads to look here.

Afterwards, several people left from the deck on the other side of the ship without saying anything.

Qin Zhibo looked at Hai Teng Du, exhaled lightly, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly.

"Thank you for the reminder, Captain. I'm going back now..."

"In addition, if this ship can be absolutely safe as you said, it would be the best. After all, safety is the greatest luxury."

"Well, good night."

Qin Zhibo's aura was not at all false. He said goodbye to Hai Teng Du neither servile nor arrogant, and then walked back along the original route.

When he returned to the room, Qin Zhibo sat on the bed and couldn't help thinking about the scene just now.

Those crew members obviously didn't seem to be discussing the work on the ship, and it was only the first day of the voyage, so there would be no emergency.

And Captain Hai Teng Du obviously planned to come over to meet with a few people, but he had to stop because he found that he was also at the scene.

And Qin Zhibo was also a little surprised that Hai Teng Du knew him.

As a captain who has been sailing on the sea for a long time, he lives a life almost isolated from the land, but he knows a private detective who has only risen recently.

The meticulous work of reviewing the passenger list should not be the captain's responsibility.

This bad premonition made Qin Zhibo feel that this voyage was not simple.

...

The next day.

Everyone gathered in the restaurant and had a hearty buffet breakfast.

After breakfast, several people discussed today's itinerary.

In the morning, we first sunbathe on the deck and then play hide-and-seek.

In the afternoon, the weather turned warmer, so we went to the public swimming pool on the ship to practice swimming.

Yesterday, Qin Zhibo's words about practicing swimming before sinking still affected the three little ones.

After breakfast, everyone sunbathes on the fourth-floor stern deck.

Although it is sunbathing, because the temperature on the sea is not high, and there is a light sea breeze, not only is there no hot breath, but it is also a bit refreshing.

On the chair, Mao Lilan stretched her waist, a translucent blue sun-proof jacket resting on the back of the chair, and an orange tank top showing her girlishness to the fullest.

"So comfortable~"

"Yes, it feels so good to drink morning tea while enjoying the sea breeze..."

Suzuki Sonoko raised the teacup in her hand and took a sip, covering her face and shyly said, "I feel like a lady~"

Qin Zhibo, who was sitting next to her, heard that this little girl wanted to get married.

Because the only thing that Sonoko needs to meet the standard of a lady is to find a husband.

If Kyogoku Makoto wants to be with Sonoko in the future, he must change his surname and marry into the family, and his name will be "Suzuki Makoto" in the future.

This name is not bad.

At this moment, Maori Kogoro, who was sitting opposite Qin Zhibo, held his cheek with one hand, stared at the deck not far away with a serious expression, and his eyes were scrutinizing.

"It's really good..."

"Yeah, it's really good..."

At this table, Qin Zhibo, Conan, Xiaolan, and Sonoko were attracted by Maori Kogoro's words and followed his gaze.

Two mature women in sportswear were holding their tennis rackets and were walking towards the cabin under the guidance of a young female secretary.

These two mature women were not strangers. They were the president of Yashiro Passenger Ship, the company to which the ship belonged, Yashiro Takae, and the wife of the former prime minister, Mrs. Niimi.

But apart from the extraordinary identities of these two people, Qin Zhibo didn't think there was anything else worth noting.

But the next second, Maori Kogoro's expression suddenly changed, and he made the same tongue-sticking expression as Venom, turned his head and shouted excitedly at Conan.

"Have you seen President Takae's legs? He doesn't look like a man in his fifties at all!"

"Hahaha~~"

Mauri Kogoro's performance successfully won him the contempt and helplessness of the people around him.

"Really, what are you talking about so early in the morning!"

"Stop staring at me with lustful eyes, okay?"

"And Conan is just a child, don't teach him bad things!"

Mauri Ran angrily taught her father a lesson.

In contrast, Maori Kogoro could only giggle.

Qin Zhibo, who was sitting opposite, also couldn't understand Maori Kogoro's taste.

He has a wife who is as beautiful as a fairy at home, but he still wants to cheat on her.

Even if it's not as exciting at home as outside, it's not enough to stare at mature women, right?

No matter how well Yashiro Takae is maintained, she is still a big sister to Maori Kogoro.

Or does Maori Kogoro not want to work hard anymore?

At the round table next door, Cheng Shi and Huiyuan Ai, as well as Dr. Agasa and the three little ones sat at the same table.

Dr. Agasa drank a cup of black tea with sugar, and just as he put down the teacup, he thought of a cold joke.

"Everyone, we haven't guessed a riddle for a long time..."

"Since we just finished breakfast, let's digest it and do a riddle about the cruise trip!"

"Ah?" The three little ones didn't look very excited when they heard it, and just complained, "It's coming."

Dr. Agasa suddenly mentioned guessing riddles, which made Cheng Shi, who was experiencing this situation for the first time, a little confused.

Huiyuan Ai next to him held the coffee cup with a calm face and explained to him: "This is Dr. Agasa's reserved program, in fact, it's some cold jokes and riddles..."

"Oh? Is that so?" Cheng Shi asked in confusion.

Dr. Agasa was a little helpless. Why did this kid ruin his own show?

"Actually, this puzzle is somewhat related to Dr. Chengshi's profession."

"Everyone, listen carefully. The question is that Yuantai went to the ship's infirmary for treatment during the voyage at sea..."

"Then what I want to ask is, what happened to Yuantai?"

"One, because he ate too much and got a stomachache."

"Two, because he fell and sprained his foot."

"Three, because he got heatstroke because of too much sun exposure."

"Which one is the correct answer?"

Dr. Agasa's puzzle was heard by Qin Zhibo and Conan at the table. After a little thought, they thought of the answer.

However, the two did not ruin the atmosphere and said the answer directly.

Chengshi pointed his finger at his chin, thought for a while, and replied: "Could it be that the answer is one, because Yuantai is sometimes really greedy..."

Before Dr. Agasa gave a negative answer, Yuantai took the initiative to speak out.

"It can't be 'one', my stomach won't hurt even if I eat a lot!"

At this time, Huiyuan Ai also turned to Cheng Shi and said: "Dr. Agasa's question cannot be considered with common sense. The sentence about your profession is to mislead you..."

"The real clue should be the ship."

"Really? Let me think..." Cheng Shi frowned and fell into thought.

He really didn't know Dr. Agasa's puzzle ideas, so even if there were hints, he didn't know which direction to think from.

At this time, Qin Zhibo deliberately spilled the drink on his hand, turned around and said to the waiter not far away.

"Excuse me."

"Could you give me a piece of shippu."

When Conan heard Qin Zhibo's question, he was a little confused about Qin Zhibo's deliberate spilling on his hand, but he understood it in an instant and smiled.

And Cheng Shi's ears trembled, and when he heard Qin Zhibo's words, he suddenly remembered.

"I know!"

"The answer is two!"

"Bingo! The answer is correct!"

Dr. Agasa smiled and nodded.

The three kids were still a little confused and didn't understand why the answer was two.

Cheng Shi smiled and explained: "The English word for ship is ship, and after Yuan Tai fell, he needed to wipe the stains on the wound with a wet cloth. The homonym of wet cloth is shippu, which is similar to ship."

There is no English word Shippu. Dr. Agasa created a non-existent word using homonyms. In fact, the original meaning is wet tissue.

"So that's it!"

Although the three kids didn't answer, they were not discouraged. Anyway, they just thought it was a joke.

Dr. Agasa continued to teach, "By the way, friendship is friendship, gossip is gossip..."

Conan smiled slightly, shouting in his heart: Haha, it should be gossip, right?

But he had hoped that Qin Zhibo, a native Hawaiian, could correct Dr. Agasa's mistake, but he saw Qin Zhibo turning his head to look the other way.

He looked over and saw that in the lounge area, Akiyoshi Miwako was lying there in the sun.

Because it was not a beach sunbathing, her clothes were not revealing, she just took off her shoes and lay on it to read.

Standing next to her was Kusaka Hironari, who was talking to her.

Akiyoshi Miwako's attitude was rather cold. Without saying a few words, Kusaka Hironari went to the cabin alone.

These two people...

Conan didn't quite understand why Qin Zhibo was paying attention to them, but as a detective who was better than himself, he had top-notch reasoning and observation skills, and he might be able to find some details that he couldn't see.

"Uncle Qin, what happened to those two people?"

Since he confessed his identity, Conan was no longer afraid of exposing his identity in front of Qin Zhibo, and asked directly when he was curious.

Qin Zhibo retracted his gaze, turned his head to look at Conan, and smiled: "I was thinking that the relationship between those two people seemed to be somewhat close."

"Really?"

Conan followed Qin Zhibo's thoughts and thought that something was indeed wrong.

These two people knew each other long before boarding the ship, and they were just discussing the script. They couldn't have been discussing it until now, right?

There are only two possibilities in this situation.

One is that the man named Kusaka Hironari is pursuing Akiyoshi Miwako in the name of work.

The other is that Kusaka Hironari has some ulterior motives...

Conan's expression darkened, but then he grinned helplessly.

How could this be possible?

How could it be such a coincidence that we encountered an incident again?

Qin Zhibo looked at Conan's expression and knew that he probably still didn't believe in his power of the god of death.

But countless experiences have proved that as long as one's fate is not strong enough, and he gets involved with the god of death elementary school students, it is likely that he will not have a good end.

...

9:10 am.

The puzzles have been guessed and the drinks have been drunk, and everyone is going to move on to the next stage.

Maori Kogoro stretched his waist and planned to change clothes to find the sisters Li.

It turned out that he didn't know when he made an appointment with the sisters Li, saying that the other party wanted to hear him tell the story of the famous detective.

Maori Kogoro, who was in high spirits, ran back to the room to change clothes.

Yuanzi complained helplessly: "Uncle is quite good at this..."

Conan was also a little surprised, "When did he make an appointment with them?"

Qin Zhibo saw it clearly last night.

Maori Kogoro kept looking at the sisters Li on the stage while eating, and took the opportunity to run over and chat with them when they went to the bathroom together.

However, the other party actually gave him this face. It seems that the aura of a famous detective is really powerful in this world.

Except for Qin Zhibo and Dr. Agasa, the rest of the people joined the hide-and-seek army.

After all, playing hide-and-seek on a luxury cruise ship, such opportunities will not be many in a lifetime.

Qin Zhibo planned to experience the top massage service on the ship with Dr. Agasa to relax his body.

But just as Qin Zhibo was about to leave with Dr. Agasa, Maori Kogoro, who was wearing a white suit, ran back to the deck panting.

He ran to Qin Zhibo and said awkwardly: "Sister Li said that they hope you can also go there..."
