The Grammatical Investigator in Conan

Dadong Mikihiko took the tea cup and shook the empty inside, knowing that the plan to scare people had been ruined.

He couldn't say to an empty teacup now that there were cigarette butts of different brands in the teacup. Otherwise, he would definitely be questioned as to why he knew about this.

In addition, Dadong Mikihiko was surprised that Qin Zhibo, as a famous detective, could not even tell the different brands of cigarette butts in the tea cups.

Don’t you know how to smoke?

Even if you don’t smoke, you still have fire?

Mikihiko Dadong clearly remembered that Qin Zhibo used his own lighter to light part of the candles just now.

Late at night was approaching, and everyone was inevitably hungry.

So at Masao Taketomi's suggestion, everyone split up to search for any food hidden in the house, and also checked for any defense gaps in the house.

He still couldn't forget Conan's tentative reasoning about someone else on the island committing the crime.

Although Qin Zhibo wanted to say that the man who starved to death a year ago should have eaten everything available here, Qin Zhibo agreed out of curiosity about Shimabukuro Keika's living environment on the island these years.

Mikihiko Daito, Yoshitsugi Kume, and Noburo Ikema searched the second floor in a group of three, while the remaining four people, Qin Zhibo, Mao Lilan, Conan, and Masao Taketomi, searched the first floor together.

Regarding Qin Zhibo's personnel arrangement, Taketomi Masao nodded in agreement, "That's right. After all, there are girls and children here, and Mr. Qin is the only one to protect them. It will be troublesome if they are attacked."

Hearing this, Qin Zhibo was stunned for a moment, feeling that this uncle might have a funny head.

Conan, who was standing low in slippers, gently touched the watch-shaped tranquilizer gun on his wrist, comforting himself that as long as he had this thing, he would be invincible in 1v1.

"So that's it, you know karate."

"Yes, I won the Metropolitan Competition some time ago."

Listening to Mao Lilan's impressive achievements, a drop of cold sweat broke out on Takefumi's temples, sighing that a person is really beyond his appearance.

However, Qin Zhibo, who was walking aside holding a candlestick, knew that Mao Lilan was a weak demon. As long as the environment and atmosphere were properly rendered, he could not stand being frightened at all.

Once frightened, her force level will plummet to the level of a little girl.

This is a bit like the timid mushroom in Plants vs. Zombies.

And seeing Mao Lilan being admired by others, Conan, who was walking next to him, felt a little proud in his heart.

Awesome, right? Hum (arrogantly). My wife!

While chatting carelessly, the three of them and a "messenger from the underworld" searched the door of the last room.

Qin Zhibo took the lead and pushed open the door. Mao Lilan huddled weakly behind Qin Zhibo, with a worried expression on his face that was a bit cute.

squeak--

When the door opened and candlelight entered the dark room, Qin Zhibo could see some clues about this room at a glance.

This room is the largest room on the entire first floor. The bed is neatly made, and the tables and chairs slightly tilted to a suitable angle make this room more life-like.

At this moment, Mao Lilan let out a small scream.

"ah"

Conan quickly asked what was wrong. Mao Lilan slowly raised her hand and pointed to the head of the bed, "There seems to be something up there."

Qin Zhibo and Conan went over to check with candles and saw dense scratches carved on the wooden board at the head of the bed.

If you look carefully, these scratches are the slightly distorted character "正".

Hundreds of "正" characters are arranged densely, which is strangely permeable in the dark environment.

Looking at these "positives", Qin Zhibo guessed that these should be the scales used by Shimabukuro Keiwa to measure the days when he lived here.

Conan on the side immediately thought of the same conclusion and judged: "These should be used by someone living here to measure time, right?"

Could it be the man who was trapped here and starved to death a year ago?

Judging from the number of "正" characters, he has lived here for at least four years. But if this is the case, how could he suddenly starve to death?

Could it be that he committed suicide out of despair because he felt there was no hope of escape?

Conan held his chin up, thinking about these "正" notches, while Qin Zhibo on the side had already turned to the cabinet next to him and opened the drawers one by one.

The drawers above were all empty, except for the last drawer where Qin Zhibo found a photo frame.

The old wooden photo frame was somewhat moldy, and the photo inside was of a middle-aged man and woman. The man in the photo was the mayor of Jincheng Town who entertained him yesterday.

Taketomi Masao came over at this time and looked at the two people in the photo with some nostalgia, "These are the mayor and his wife. They were relatively young at that time."

Qin Zhibo subconsciously took apart the legs at the back of this old-fashioned photo frame and got another photo at the back.

There is still Mayor Jincheng in the photo, but the subject of the photo has become a young, dark, straight beauty.

Black and long straight!

Qin Zhibo's pupils shrank, he pointed at the black hair above and asked: "Who is this woman?"

Taketomi Masao reacted and explained: "This is Miss Koto, the mayor's only daughter. Back then, Koto was beautiful and had a good temperament, and was sought after by many young people in the town."

"I just didn't expect that she was suddenly kidnapped five years ago, not long after Mrs. Jincheng's death, and there has been no news since then."

Hei Changzhi turned out to be the daughter of the mayor of Jincheng Town.

Now Qin Zhibo clarified some ideas, and it turned out that this was a story about "defending day and night, and it is difficult to guard against domestic thieves".

Shimabukuro Keihe has only seen the true faces of two bandits on this island, one of which is Kuronaga Nao.

If this Hei Changzhi is the mayor's daughter, then everything makes sense.

Five years ago, she was kidnapped, but later in order to get money to treat her "mermaid disease", she took the initiative to join a bandit group and robbed her own home.

This is truly a "filial" girl.

At this moment, Conan on the side also paused his research on the inscription of the word "正" and ran over to follow Qin Zhibo's reasoning progress.

"Uncle, aren't you a staff member of Jiuzhou TV? How come you know so much about what's happening here?"

Taketomi Masao was stunned for a moment, and replied in a deep voice: "Because my cousins ​​were the maids who worked at the mayor's house at that time, but my cousin later died at the hands of that gang of robbers."

"Actually, it's not just me. Brother Ikejian's mother and the mayor's wife are also biological sisters, so he and Miss Xiaodu should be considered cousins."

Conan took the photo from Qin Zhibo, took a look at it, and then asked: "Where is this grand tower in the background of the photo? I don't think I've seen it before."

Taketomi Masao was stunned for a moment again, and secretly complained in his heart: You, a child, have never seen a lot.

However, he still couldn't refuse Conan's "answer all questions" and patiently explained, "That is not the city tower, but the mayor's home. At that time, Miss Xiaodu lived there, and she often ran around happily in the house, feeling She looks like a princess living in a castle."

Princess!

Hearing the keyword, Conan's brain got another inference material.
