The Grammatical Investigator in Conan

In the bushes surrounded by darkness, a hazy and huge silhouette suddenly stood up from the grass and ran towards the distance.

Qin Zhibo: Will -2

That thing was definitely not a rabbit or a squirrel, but a creature about the same size as a human.

When it started running, a fishy wind emanated from its previous hiding place, making Qin Zhibo's stomach churn as he still couldn't fully adapt to the smell.

Qin Zhibo subconsciously chased after him, his windbreaker making the surrounding leaves rustle.

During the chase in the forest, Qin Zhibo could vaguely see that the existence in front of him that smelled like fish was a human-like existence.

It stepped over the shorter bushes with its feet, moving extremely quickly and knowing the terrain very well.

In order to be able to keep up with it, Qin Zhibo quietly put on the [Gift of the Golden Tree], which increased his agility by 10 points. When the speed reached 70, he could barely match the speed of that thing.

Is that human?

Or an animal?

Looking at the hazy outline in front of him that sometimes disappeared and sometimes reappeared, Qin Zhibo had two conjectures in his heart.

For a moment, Qin Zhibo wondered if it might be the missing Menxie Saori.

But if you think about it carefully, even if Monkyo Saori had been missing for several days and had been living in the wild without taking a bath, she probably wouldn't have stunk like this.

Moreover, her agility is too high now. This is definitely not the agility that an ordinary little girl should have.

At that time, this referred to ordinary little girls, except Mao Lilan.

Just as Qin Zhibo was tracking and thinking, the land on his front feet suddenly lost its sense of substance and was replaced by an empty sense of loss.

Oops!

By the time this signal reaches the brain, it's too late. Qin Zhibo's body rushed out of the dark woods and was exposed to the cliff illuminated by the moonlight.

Immediately afterwards, the gravity of his body caused Qin Zhibo to fall towards the cliff.

Surrounded by the feeling of weightlessness, Qin Zhibo quickly took out the [Flying Claw] from the system's toolbar and threw it over the cliff.

The investigator's hand bones flew out and he firmly grasped the edge of the cliff, which stopped Qin Zhibo's body from continuing to fall.

He grabbed the rope and tried to climb up. On the way, he glanced at the river valley at the edge of the forest.

After climbing back to the cliff, Qin Zhibo looked towards the opposite cliff and vaguely saw a human-like silhouette among the dim trees.

On the silhouetted head, small letters of identity information floated.

[Name: Shimabukuro Keikan]

【Sex: Male】

[Age: 43 years old]

——

Before Qin Zhibo could read all the information, the shadow on the other side of the cliff turned around and disappeared into the darkness.

Qin Zhibo stared at the cliff opposite for a long time, thinking about something in his heart.

Suddenly, some small crystal clear sequins at his feet attracted Qin Zhibo's attention.

He picked it up from the ground and looked at it in the moonlight. It turned out to be

Fish scales.

At the foot of the mountain, Conan and his party had just finished their visit to Changshou Po. They came out of Shimabukuro Kimie's house and were going to stay in a nearby hotel.

Originally, Conan and Hattori Heiji thought they could get some key information from Changshou Po, but it turned out to be useless.

For example, the numbers drawn for the "Dugong Arrow" are chosen completely randomly, and sometimes they are even chosen from the numbers drawn during the current horse race.

This reminded Conan and Hattori Heiji that Qin Zhibo had congratulated Kazuo in advance before announcing the winning numbers.

Could it be that Qin Zhibo also has the habit of paying attention to horse racing?

Just when Conan wanted to continue asking Changshou Po's opinion on the disappearance of Menkyo Saori and the murder of Ebina Hisumi, Shimabukuro Kimie shouted from an invisible place, blocking Conan's thoughts.

Changshou Po left on the grounds that the old man wanted to take a bath and sleep. Before leaving, she warned Yuan Shan and Ye not to lose the arrow, otherwise they would suffer retribution.

"There don't seem to be any useful clues here, Changshou Po." Conan frowned as he walked, "I don't know how Qin Zhibo investigated the case."

"What important clues can that uncle find on the mountain? We must be ahead~"

Hattori Heiji was in a good mood, and was not discouraged by the fact that he had found nothing. He patiently explained that his next plan was to go to tomorrow's vigil to see if there were any clues.

The group of people strolled back to the hotel. They were standing at the entrance and had just changed into slippers when Qin Zhibo came back from outside.

"Hey, what a coincidence, you are back too."

Qin Zhibo said hello in a normal way, as if the murder never happened and he just went to the tavern for a drink on the way.

However, Conan and Hattori Heiji still believe that Qin Zhibo will not be so heartless. He must have gone to investigate the case.

At the moment, both of them are very curious about the progress of Qin Zhibo's investigation.

In order to solve the case faster, two high school detectives looked at each other and decided to exchange information.

"Uncle, we found a brand new swimming circle at the mouth of the river at the foot of the mountain. It is very likely that someone put Miss Shou Mei's body on it and let it drift with the current."

Hearing this new situation, Qin Zhibo was a little interested. Maybe there would be investigation points above.

"Where's the swimming ring?"

Hattori Heiji shook his head, "Of course it's not with us. It's been kept in the village office for safekeeping. It will be tested and fingerprints taken when the police come tomorrow."

"oh"

Qin Zhibo nodded thoughtfully, then changed his shoes, stretched out and went back to the room.

Looking at Qin Zhibo's leaving figure, Conan and Hattori Heiji were stunned.

Didn't we agree to exchange information?

Where is the information!

After paying for the information they found, they did not receive the corresponding information. At this moment, Conan and Hattori Heiji felt like the Baker Street team running errands for Holmes.

The key is that the Baker Street Squad is still paying for running errands for the detective, but he is working for nothing!

At this moment, Hattori Heiji, who was a little angry in his heart, retracted his previous friendly comments about Qin Zhibo.

This uncle's conscience is greatly broken!

The next day, Conan and his party will have to search for Saori, the gatekeeper, and ask around to see if Hisumi Ebihara has any enemies.

Qin Zhibo once again separated from the main force and went straight to the village office. It was the middle-aged man who received the Death Tour Group who answered Qin Zhibo's question.

"You said Shimabukuro Keiwa, he is indeed Shimabukuro Kime's father, but he died five years ago."

"Jun Hui, this child, also has a hard life. Her parents were killed at sea five years ago, and her grandparents were also buried at sea a long time ago. Now she and her great-grandmother are left to depend on each other."

"Is there anything else you would like to ask?"

Qin Zhibo shook his head, "Thank you, I've finished what I wanted to ask."

Thinking of Keika Shimabukuro whom he met in the Mermaid Forest last night, Qin Zhibo felt a little weird.

Has he been faking his death all these years?
