The Grammatical Investigator in Conan

Say it twice...

Everyone looked at each other after hearing Qin Zhibo's answer, not knowing how to respond for a moment.

Is this a disguised admission that Conan's reasoning ability is about the same as that of the famous detective?

And Conan, who was sitting on a bench in the corridor, heard Qin Zhibo's evaluation from the legs of his glasses, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but slightly rise.

No, I'm still far from it...

"Ahem, can we start the meeting?"

Just then, Megure walked into the meeting room and interrupted everyone's chat.

Behind him were Manager Matsumoto and Inspector Shiratori.

Everyone immediately returned to their seats, and Takagi Shigeru was so scared that he scratched his head and apologized.

Only Yamamura So from Gunma Prefecture stopped Maori Kogoro and asked who the fierce-looking man standing behind Megure was.

"Stupid, he is the manager, Superintendent Matsumoto Kiyonaga."

"Eh? Can he be a manager with that appearance?" Yamamura So's eyes were full of shock.

Maura Kogoro quickly warned him, "If you say these words again, be careful to get beaten!"

After saying that, Maori Kogoro turned around and followed Qin Zhibo to the seat on the left side of the whiteboard in the front.

Below the conference room, most of the police officers in charge of the case from the Metropolitan Police Department headquarters, as well as the police officers from other places who came to assist just now.

Qin Zhibo glanced at the police below and found that in the corner of the last row of the conference room, there was actually a direct subordinate of Amuro Toru, Kazami Yuya.

Although Kazami Yuya is a public security police, it is normal for him to appear here. After all, this case involved the murder of a congressman's secretary, and it can also be judged as a major case threatening national security.

In front of the conference room, Qin Zhibo and Maori Kogoro, two special advisers, sat on one side, and Matsumoto, Megure, and Shiratori sat on the other side.

First, Shiratori made a simple opening speech, representing the Metropolitan Police Department to welcome colleagues from all over the country to come to assist in the case.

Immediately afterwards, Shiratori sorted out the entire case.

Qin Zhibo listened to Shiratori's explanation while browsing the case materials in front of him.

On the third victim's profile page, the name "Okakura Masaaki" was indeed seen, and his occupation was a congressman's secretary.

It seems that the serial murder case that Mizunashi Reina mentioned was this case.

With the internal information provided by the police, Qin Zhibo finally saw the details of the entire case.

Okakura Masaaki was knocked unconscious with an electric baton in an underground parking lot near his home, kidnapped to the recreation forest of Oizumi in Nerima District, Tokyo, and stabbed in the abdomen with a blade to kill him.

At the scene of the body dumping, the police found a mahjong tile, so they linked this case with other cases for investigation.

The face of this mahjong tile is "Seven Tubes".

However, the tube point in the lower right corner of this "Seven Tubes" mahjong tile is painted red, and there is a black vertical line on the back of the mahjong tile, and the capital letter "A" is written.

Obviously, this should be the secret code left by the murderer.

Except for the first victim's mahjong tile with "One Tube", the mahjong tiles of others are all "Seven Tubes".

"Since similarly treated mahjong tiles were found around the bodies, and the police have not yet released the clues of the mahjong tiles to the public, the possibility of a copycat crime has been ruled out."

"Except for the sixth case that just happened recently, the common point of the first five cases is that the victims were all stabbed to death with large knives and saws, and the suspect first stunned them with an electric baton, kidnapped them to the place where the bodies were found, killed them, and then dumped them."

"But there is also a problem above, that is, why did the suspect take the kidnapped victims to other places to commit the crime?"

"And some mahjong tiles painted red with English letters and vertical black lines on the back were found next to the bodies of the six victims..."

"According to the analysis, this is obviously a message left by the suspect."

"In addition, one personal item was taken from each of the six victims..."

At this time, Sato and Takagi echoed and said all the lost relics of the victims.

Necklace, drawstring bag, amulet, motorcycle keychain, makeup mirror, character dolls

Since the item was lost and the police had no photos, they could only verbally narrate this part of the information.

However, Qin Zhibo looked at the lost item corresponding to Masaaki Okakura, and it was the amulet.

According to Rena Mizunashi's information, the storage card of the organization's undercover list carried by Masaaki Okakura was also lost along with the case.

This means that the storage card was in the amulet and was taken away by the uninformed suspect.

This is also the reason why the organization dispatched Ireland.

If you want to find the storage card as quickly as possible, the power of the police is obviously an important channel that cannot be ignored.

Maybe at this moment, Ireland is eavesdropping on this search meeting somewhere.

The reason for eavesdropping is that if you want to send someone to sneak into the search meeting, you should directly send the master of disguise, Vermouth.

Maybe the organization also considered that it was a little risky to send someone to sneak into the place with the most police...

Just as Qin Zhibo was thinking about the relevant matters of Ireland, the police present also began to speak freely and express their opinions.

Among them, Shiratori mentioned the sixth victim, Ryuzaki, who was killed the day before yesterday. Before he died, he mentioned "Tanabata, Kyoto", which may be a message before his death.

Yokomizo Shigego held the report in one hand and put his other hand on the back of the chair, speculating: "The brake fluid in Ryuzaki's car may have been leaked at the Daikanzan service station. Maybe he had seen the suspect there?"

As soon as Yokomizo Shigego finished speaking, Maori Kogoro, who was sitting next to Qin Zhibo, suddenly stood up and walked to the front of the conference room with a confident look on his face.

"Let me tell you, are you guys overthinking things?"

"Since it's mahjong tiles, doesn't it represent mahjong?"

"Then it's obvious that the so-called motive for murder is actually a dispute caused by mahjong!"

As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar in the conference room.

Especially Yokomizo Sango, who was a fan of Maori Kogoro, nodded in sudden enlightenment.

Maori Kogoro saw that his reasoning received a good response, and his expression on his face became more confident. He put his right hand on his waist and began to explain.

"The suspect left the one and seven bamboos because there are eight people in the game."

"There are two dots in the seven bamboos that are not painted red because one of them represents the suspect and the other represents the final victim."

When Megure, who was sitting on the other side, heard this, his face suddenly became uneasy and he asked, "Will he continue to commit crimes if that's the case?"

"Yes, he should." Maori Kogoro nodded confidently.

At this time, Shiratori asked, "But if there are eight people in the game, wouldn't it be better to use eight bamboos?"

Faced with doubts, Maori Kogoro still looked confident and explained with his arms around his shoulders, "In fact, using one and seven bamboos has another meaning..."

"That's right! The suspect originally wanted to use these two cards, one and seven bamboos, to win the game!"

"This is a great card that can reverse the situation in one go!"

"Oh——!"

This reasoning by Maori Kogoro once again caused a response.

Especially Yokomizo Sango and Yamamura So, they immediately followed this line of thought and thought that the murderer was angry because he didn't win the two cards.

"That's right!"

"According to my speculation, the other people may have very bad card quality, so the suspect couldn't bear it anymore..."

"This should be the suspect's motive for committing the crime."

Qin Zhibo, who was sitting on a chair and watching Maori Kogoro's performance silently, couldn't help but smile slightly.

As expected of Maori Kogoro, he can talk nonsense seriously in such a scene.

This big heart ability is not something that ordinary people have.

Qin Zhibo looked at the mahjong information card made by the police, and an investigation point had already appeared on it.

However, even if he didn't look at the content of the investigation, he knew that this case had nothing to do with the entertainment activity of mahjong.

Although sometimes reasoning pursues simplicity, Maori Kogoro is too simple.

But then again, if Ireland is monitoring this meeting, Maori Kogoro's misleading may have a miraculous effect.

Because as long as Ireland is led astray by Maori Kogoro, he can find the suspect first and get the memory card.

But there are so many policemen here, there must be some normal people...

Sure enough, as soon as Maori Kogoro finished speaking, Saitama Prefecture policewoman Ogino Ayami raised her hand to ask a question.

"Excuse me, how do you explain the English letters on the back of the mahjong tiles?"

Yamato Gansuke also asked mercilessly: "And why did the murderer deliberately move the victim to another place to kill him?"

Takagi also had a rare opinion and raised his hand to ask: "Also, how do you explain Ryuzaki's message before his death?"

This series of questions made Maori Kogoro stunned on the spot, and he couldn't get off the stage for a while.

However, two seconds later, Maori Kogoro showed his big heart talent, tilted his head to the side, and muttered softly.

"About, about these questions..."

"Think about it slowly later..."

Hearing this, the police in the conference room also felt an unreliable atmosphere coming.

But even so, other police officers could not offer any constructive suggestions.

The meeting was deadlocked for a while.

Seeing this, Megure turned to the Matsumoto manager next to him and asked, "Manager, you see..."

Matsumoto manager hugged his shoulders, looked around the meeting room, and set his eyes on Qin Zhibo opposite him.

"Mr. Qin, what do you think about this case?"

Qin Zhibo, who was suddenly called, was stunned for a moment and looked up at Matsumoto manager opposite him.

If it were normal, he would definitely say what he thought and give the police a hint.

But at this moment, in order to catch the suspect and find the memory card before the police, he could only shake his head.

"Sorry, I don't have any clues for the time being..."

Seeing this, Matsumoto manager could only stand up and announce to everyone.

"Do these six crime scenes represent some special meaning to the suspect? If so, it is very likely to lead us to find the suspect..."

"Also, these six victims must have some degree of connection with the suspect. Finding the common points of these six people will be a shortcut to find the suspect."

"As Brother Maori said, this case may indeed be related to mahjong. In addition, I hope everyone can think seriously about the meaning of the English letters and black vertical lines behind the mahjong tiles and "Qixijing"..."

"Please listen carefully, everyone present, the suspect is very likely to commit crimes again. This matter is related to the prestige of the police, and we must prevent it before it happens!"

"At this moment, please abandon the unnecessary sense of jurisdiction and the selfish desire to compete for credit, share the information in your hands, and arrest this serial killer as soon as possible!"

Administrator Matsumoto, like a strict teacher giving students homework, gave a concise summary of the case.

In addition, the last passionate speech made all the police officers in the audience sit upright and said "Hi" in unison.

…

As the search meeting ended, everyone sorted out the information and walked out of the conference room.

Mao Lilan, who was reading, closed the book. As soon as he stood up from the bench, he saw Manager Matsumoto and Megure walking out.

"Officer Matsumoto!"

Mao Lilan stopped Manager Matsumoto, bowed slightly and asked: "Long time no see, how are you doing, Teacher Sayuri?"

Manager Matsumoto was stunned for a moment, then a smile appeared on his face, "Oh, you are from Maori..."

"My daughter is still the same..."

"Then Maori, I'm looking forward to your performance this time."

Matsumoto changed the subject and turned to Mouri Kogoro behind him.

"Yes!" Mouri Kogoro immediately saluted seriously, "I, Moori Kogoro, will do my best to live up to your expectations wholeheartedly!"

The short Conan also grinned when he heard this.

Haha, if you try your best, wouldn't you be getting further and further away from the truth?

Conan also heard what Maori Kogoro had just said at the meeting through the bug on Qin Zhibo's body.

That kind of wild nonsense is probably the only one he can do.

But what Conan didn't expect was that Qin Zhibo didn't even elaborate on a single point this time and had zero effect.

In fact, even I have some thoughts about this case, but due to my identity, I can't speak out yet.

Conan crossed his arms and continued to look at the familiar faces, discovering Chiba and Nobu inside.

"Officer Chiba, have you been reinstated?"

Chiba looked down at Conan, smiled and nodded, "Yes, my body has almost recovered, so I'm back to work."

"Hey, do you feel like you've gained a lot of weight?"

Conan's blunt statement made Chiba look down at her fattened belly again and smile awkwardly.

"Ha, maybe the food in the hospital is better..."

In fact, these were all the little things Miike Naoko added to him, which allowed him to regain a lot of the weight he finally lost during his amnesia.

At this time, Mouri Kogoro next to him looked at Shiratori and asked: "Speaking of getting fat, Officer Shiratori, are you also a little fat?"

Shiratori looked stunned, "You, you really love to joke, Mr. Mori, but I go to the gym twice a week~"

At the same time, the two Henggou brothers on the other side were buying drinks in front of the vending machine, and they also complained to each other about changing the flavor of their favorite drinks.

My brother Henggou Zenwu switched to sugar-free coffee because the doctor said his blood sugar had been high recently.

His younger brother, Henggou Shigego, switched to sugary coffee because he had been investigating a case overnight recently and needed to supplement his sugar intake.

Seeing the changes in each acquaintance, Conan couldn't help but sigh in his heart that no one is the same.

Just like himself, he has also changed from the original materialism to another level of "materialism".

At this moment, a hand came from behind and placed it on his shoulder.

Conan's back shrank and he turned around to see that it was Qin Zhibo.

Happy National Day to you guys!
