The Grammatical Investigator in Conan

A gray van stopped in front of the villa.

The bearded man who just spoke got off the passenger seat and said to Kogoro Mori and others: "Actually, we are here just to shoot the trailer for the sequel."

Mouri Kogoro looked at the bearded man and asked doubtfully: "Excuse me, are you..."

"I am the director of the Zombie Sword series, Tetsuto Naito."

"What?"

Mouri Kogoro looked startled, then reacted, "Does that mean that all the staff, including the heroine, are still sitting in your car?"

"Yeah, of course..."

The director turned around and opened the rear door.

Realizing that he might see Okino Yoko, Mouri Kogoro immediately looked inside the car with eyes wide open in excitement.

But when he saw the heroine coming out, he was shocked.

"She is our heroine this time, Lea."

A woman wearing a deep V sleeveless midriff-revealing dress and short dark purple hair got out of the car.

Although she is also a beautiful woman, when she thinks that she is not Okino Yoko, the feeling of disparity immediately arises.

"Eh?"

Mouri Kogoro's pupils suddenly shrank, and the disappointment in his eyes was undisguised.

"Isn't the starring role Miss Yoko? It's obviously the sequel to Zombie Sword..."

The director smiled awkwardly and explained: "Yes, Yoko and I have known each other since she first debuted, and she was willing to take on the first episode because of our friendship..."

In fact, Yoko had just debuted at that time, so this kind of low-cost small production could only hire her.

Now that Yoko is becoming popular rapidly, such low-cost movies can no longer satisfy the appetite of the agency.

The actress named "Lea" was also very unhappy with Mouri Kogoro's frankness, and asked in a somewhat hostile tone.

"Who is this uncle?"

"Are you dissatisfied with me being the lead actor?"

Mouri Kogoro knew that he was rude in the first place and didn't care about it, but he turned around and secretly complained in his heart: He was dissatisfied from head to toe.

Mao Lilan and Toyama Kazuha who were standing nearby recognized the actress named Ria Kawabata, who often played supporting actresses in suspense dramas.

"Well, although Ms. Yoko really wanted to take this role, it's a pity that her agency is unwilling to let her go..."

"So I tried every possible means to convince my friend, Lea, to take on this C-level movie."

At this time, a long-faced man wearing a gray suit came out and introduced with confidence.

The moment Mouri Kogoro saw this man, his eyes immediately drooped to half-moon eyes.

Because the two of them actually wore matching clothes.

When the man saw the coat on Mouri Kogoro's body, his eyes couldn't help but froze.

Actress Leia said dissatisfied: "Hey, I asked you not to just give me C-level or C-level photos. You won't take random pictures of me, right?"

"Don't worry, keeping in mind our past friendship, I will take pictures of you beautifully~"

"Especially the scene where you turn into a zombie after being bitten by a zombie..."

A rich woman with a camera got out of the car and said with a smile.

"There is no such lens, Kyoko."

Another woman with glasses and a mushroom head got out of the car.

"This sequel tells the story of Kazami Reina, the cousin of Hongo Yaozi played by Okino Yoko, who inherits the magic sword Zombie Sword from Yaozi and then destroys all zombies."

"Isn't that what's written in the script?"

"Is that so?" The cameraman named Kyoko looked indifferent.

Anyway, her job is just filming, the plot part is not her concern.

"Of course, so how could Lea, who plays Reina, turn into a zombie?"

At this moment, the fat man who was the last one to get out of the car muttered: "But I still prefer this kind of tragic development..."

At the beginning, the long-faced man who matched Mouri Kogoro's shirt with his eyes confidently denied: "This is not possible. This is not a school anniversary performance. How can you change the direction of the plot at will?"

"B-but, if it's him..." The fat man still muttered.

When "him" was mentioned, the eyes of everyone present became slightly heavier.

At this time, the long-faced man also closed his eyes, raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and said in a deep voice: "Yes, if it were him, he would definitely hope that even if the protagonist turns into a zombie in the end, he would wield the magic sword to kill both the enemy and us. !”

"He will definitely like such a crazy story, right?"

The long-faced man suddenly pointed at the fat man, stretched his head over, and showed a threatening expression.

But then he looked back and patted the fat man on the shoulder twice, "But don't worry, he is gone now, and the script is completed."

"I even thought of the subtitle of the movie and put it in this envelope as usual..."

He took out an envelope from his arms and showed it to everyone.

"I will announce it later today, please~"

After saying that, he put one hand in his pocket and stepped onto the steps of the villa gracefully.

Hattori Heiji looked at the man's leaving figure, but he didn't like him too much either.

He walked up to the rest of the film crew and asked, "Who was the 'him' I just mentioned?"

Cameraman Kyoko said: "He is the president of our university's horror film research association..."

"Actually, all of us, except the director, were members of the research society back then."

Hearing this familiar configuration, Conan's face instantly showed a trace of seriousness.

At this moment, Mouri Kogoro held his abdomen and made an unkind request.

"Please, please, can you let me go in too?"

"Well..." the director looked a little embarrassed, "I'm really sorry, I'm afraid it's a little inconvenient to observe."

The fat man also echoed: "Yes, if there is noise at the scene, it will be difficult to deal with later."

"No, it's not observation, I actually want to..."

Just as Mouri Kogoro was about to explain, there was an unusual sound in his abdomen, and he had already been explained for him.

…

Half an hour later, Mouri Kogoro came out of the toilet in the villa.

But his pale face and stooped back showed that the situation had not improved.

Seeing this, Hattori Heiji complained unceremoniously: "Uncle, what's wrong with you? Your face is no different from that of a zombie..."

Mao Lilan also suddenly remembered, "So, Dad, on the mountain road here, you said you were going to the toilet, and then you went into the forest, right?"

"Did he get bitten by a strange bug at that time?" Yuan Shanheye guessed, tapping his face with his finger.

When Conan heard this, he felt that this guess was possible.

It could be a tick, a bug that bites on the skin of animals and sucks blood.

But at this moment, Mouri Kogoro shakily took out a mushroom with a bite missing from his trouser pocket.

"I didn't get bitten..."

"I was just a little hungry, so I took a bite of these delicious mushrooms that grow in the forest."

Everyone was stunned when they heard this nonsense reason.

This is worse than being bitten by an insect!

Conan stepped forward, looked at the mushrooms in Mouri Kogoro's hand, and recognized the species.

"This is the moonlight mushroom. It's delicious, but it's just a poisonous mushroom..."

"ah?!"

Mouri Kogoro bared his teeth and screamed, and the mushroom in his hand fell to the ground.

Mao Lilan's expression immediately changed, and she quickly turned to look at Conan, "Is this life-threatening?"

"No." Conan shook his head.

"But you may have diarrhea for a while. It's best not to drive first and rest here before leaving..."

…

In this way, everyone discussed with the film crew and were allowed to rest here for a while.

Kogoro Mouri was placed alone in an empty room to rest, while others were allowed to observe the filming process at the filming site.

The premise is that no sound can be emitted.

As star-chasers, Mao Lilan and Toyama Kazuye were very interested in this kind of occasion.

Especially Mao Lilan, who lost in the finals of the Kanto Regional Karate Competition, became more determined to become an actor in the future.

There is nothing wrong with experiencing the working conditions on the set in advance.

However, the so-called small-production film was not shot as professionally as expected.

The conditions of this filming crew are very simple. The people who got off the car just now are all the people participating in the filming today.

Among them, the bearded man at the beginning is the director, and the confident man with the long face is the screenwriter.

The actress Lea is the heroine, the rich girl is the photographer, the girl with glasses is the lighting engineer, and the fat man is the sound effects engineer.

In addition, due to the shortage of manpower, the bespectacled woman is also responsible for miscellaneous tasks such as prop artist, makeup artist, scene recorder, and logistics support.

However, the girl with glasses also said that today we were just shooting a trailer, so we didn’t need too many people.

By the time filming begins, the number of crew members should be doubled compared to today.

Double?

Hattori Heiji, who was standing at the back, grinned and secretly complained: Even if the number doubled, there wouldn’t be many people...

And judging from the calm expression on the actress's face before preparing to shoot, it seems that she has no interest in this C-level movie.

The subsequent shooting process will probably be very boring, and without being able to make any sound, it is simply a torture.

"Hey, Kudo, it's too boring here, let's go for a walk?"

Hattori Heiji bent down and spoke into Conan's ear.

But Conan just stared blankly at the void in front of him, completely unresponsive to Hattori Heiji's blow.

Hattori Heiji was startled by this, and then he put his hand in front of Conan's eyes and shook it.

Conan finally came to his senses and looked up at Hattori Heiji beside him.

"What are you doing?"

"Why are you dazed?"

"..."

Conan was silent.

Because he was thinking about Haiyuan Ai.

Just the day before yesterday, he found Qin Zhibo's former detective assistant Amuro Toru and exchanged contact information with him.

But until now, the other party has not brought any news about Huihara Ai.

It has been more than three days since Haiyuan Ai disappeared.

But I haven't got any clues yet, and I can't even be sure whether the person was taken away by the organization.

For the first time, Conan felt a deep sense of powerlessness.

Faced with Hui Yuan Ai's disappearance, he had no way to remedy it.

We have obviously saved so many people in cases before, but this time...

At this time, Hattori Heiji also found that something was wrong with his good friend's state, as if he was worried.

"Hey, are you hiding something from me?"

Hattori Heiji squatted down and faced Conan face to face and asked.

Looking directly into Hattori Heiji's eyes, Conan was a little nervous for a moment, subconsciously scratched his head and denied in a joking tone.

"No, no~"

"You can't fool me..."

Hattori Heiji stared at Conan's face with a serious face.

This serious Hattori Heiji made Conan suddenly feel a little uncomfortable.

"Don't forget, we are good friends who appreciate each other..."

When Hattori Heiji said "good friends", Conan's pupils changed slightly.

Indeed, Hattori Heiji was one of the few people who knew his identity first.

He was also one of the first people to know about the Black Organization, and he was not afraid of the organization's strength and still firmly supported himself.

If it was about the organization, he should have a part in it...

"What! The little sister who was boarding at the doctor's house was kidnapped?"

"Shhh!"

Conan quickly made a shushing gesture, and then looked back nervously at the people behind him who were still preparing to shoot at the door of the villa.

Mouri Ran and Toyama Kazuha were also standing there, ready to watch the first scene of the day.

"Keep your voice down, not many people know about this..." Conan reminded.

"Oh..." Hattori Heiji followed Conan to a forest a little further away, and then he started to discuss. "You mean, the organization that kidnapped that young lady is likely to be the one she once worked for?" "Yes." Conan nodded with a slightly heavy expression. "Although Qin Zhibo has asked the undercover lurking in the organization to help find her, there is no clue yet." "What I am worried about now is..." Conan did not say his worries. But Hattori Heiji nodded in understanding and said bluntly: "Are you afraid that the young lady will be killed by the organization?" Conan looked up at Hattori Heiji, his lips moved, but he still acquiesced. Hattori Heiji immediately held his chin and analyzed: "I don't think the situation should be so serious at the moment..." "What do you mean?" Conan frowned and asked. "Because if you think about it, if the organization wants to kill that young lady, they will probably just shoot her to death, right?"

"Even if the organization wants to take her back and ask her clearly, who has revealed the organization's secrets to? The organization will also make corresponding arrangements next, right?"

"But you look fine now, and the doctor's family should be fine too, right?"

"So I think there should be no problem in the short term..."

Hattori Heiji's analysis makes sense, and Conan understands this.

But for some reason, compared to the cold treatment of the organization, Conan feels that this is more like the calm before the storm.

...

In the dim carriage, a bald old man sat alone in the back row.

On the computer in front of him, the same villa was monitored from four angles.

At this time, a voice came from the intercom next to the old man.

"Lord Rum, everything has been deployed."

Rum's mouth slowly raised a hideous smile, and his left eye, which was fine a few days ago, was replaced by a black eye mask.

There was a hint of madness in his cold tone.

"It's time to take back what belongs to me..."
