The Grammatical Investigator in Conan
Chapter 622 Kuroba Kaito: My disguise skills are better than his!
Qin Zhibo and Kuroba Kaito were startled at the same time and looked back at Koizumi Hongzi.
"What? Do you know this kind of creature?" Qin Zhibo asked.
Koizumi Anko walked closer, stared at the screen, and nodded.
“This is a creature called a ghoul, which often appears in cemeteries and underground tunnels.
They possess intelligence that is no less than that of humans. This intelligence allows them to communicate with humans, and in the ghoul's lair, there is a passage to the dream world.
Since the age of witch hunting, witches have established contracts with ghouls to attack humans who persecute witches.
But since humans entered the advanced era, ghouls have almost become extinct."
Extinct?
Qin Zhibo narrowed his eyes slightly and expressed doubts about this statement.
But it sounds like Koizumi Anko really knows something about ghouls, because she was right about the dream passage.
Qin Zhibo once saw the passage that would only appear at night in the cemetery one night when the fog emerged.
Chikako Ikeda’s feet are still left at the entrance of that passage.
"Ghoul, why did you draw this?"
Surprised, Kuroba Kaito couldn't accept it.
He couldn't accept that the great magician he respected most could be on the same painting as a ghostly thing, and they fit so well together.
No one can guess the reason, not even Terai Huangnosuke, who has served the Black Feather Pirates for many years.
At this moment, Matsumoto Ryohei suddenly turned around and said to Kuroba Kaito with a serious expression: "Sell me this painting."
Kuroba Kaito was startled by Matsumoto Ryohei's proposal, but Matsumoto Ryohei directly took extremely aggressive steps and approached Kuroba Kaito.
"The artistic value of this painting is beyond your imagination."
There was something crazy in Matsumoto Ryohei's eyes, which made Kuroba Kaito take half a step back unconsciously.
Qin Zhibo was not surprised by this. Matsumoto Ryohei himself had read the "Ghoul Canon" and he probably knew the story of the ghoul.
Nothing would drive a cannibalistic and artistic museum director so crazy unless it was a painting of a ghoul.
What's more, the craftsmanship of this painting is so exquisite that even a layman can see it.
"Sell it to me."
“It is simply a miracle in the history of art and I will pay the price for it!”
Matsumoto Ryohei's mouth was gushing, but Kuroba Kaito immediately expressed his thoughts after calming down.
"terribly sorry!"
"This is my father's legacy and I won't sell it."
After hearing Kuroba Kaito's words, Matsumoto Ryohei's eyelids trembled slightly, and his body that had been leaning forward returned to normal.
Matsumoto Ryohei fell into silence for a long time, until Qin Zhibo walked over and patted Matsumoto Ryohei on the shoulder.
"This is really regrettable." Matsumoto Yoshiki walked back to the computer quietly and started working on it with his fingers.
"Then please allow me to scan a photo of this painting."
…
After leaving the Medieval Art Museum, Kuroba Kaito's mind was much lighter than when he first learned the truth about the painting.
Terai Huangnosuke packed "The Phantom Thief" in the car, preparing to take it back and think of a way to deal with it.
After learning the horrifying truth about the painting, Kuroba Kaito didn't want to abandon it, nor did he want to hang it above his bed and let the ghoul under the Phantom Thief's portrait stare at him every day.
I'm not that bad-tempered yet.
"Phantom Thieves and Ghouls"
"It's an incredible combination."
Kuroba Kaito teased, with a slightly forced smile on his lips.
Qin Zhibo could see that he was still a little hard to accept for a while, and he was just trying his best to maintain that poker face.
Judging from the exquisite picture-in-picture technique in the paintings, the layouts of the Phantom Thieves and Ghouls should have been designed in a unified manner, rather than simply covering another painting on top of one painting.
Therefore, the entire painting within the painting should have been created by the painter signed Pickman.
What is the relationship between Kuroba Toichi and Pickman? What's the relationship with ghouls?
These are all things Kuroba Kaito needs to find out after he returns.
Also, if Kuroba Toichi had something to do with those ghostly things, would he still be alive?
After all, the ghoul looks like it's hard to die. What if Kuroba Toichi is still alive?
These are all things Kuroba Kaito needs to investigate urgently after he returns.
But before going back, Kuroba Kaito still had something to tell Qin Zhibo as a thank you for facilitating this "art appraisal meeting".
"The person named 'New De Tomaki' whom I met on the bus may be disguised."
Seeing the very rare seriousness on Kuroba Kaito's face, Qin Zhibo was a little surprised.
"Is Shinde Tomoe in disguise?"
"Well, I just think it's possible." Kuroba Kaito's tone was not very sure.
"This person's disguise skills are very good. Even I can only see the slightest flaw under certain circumstances and angles. But maybe I'm wrong."
Qin Zhibo narrowed his eyes slightly and recalled the scene when he met Shinde Tomoe on the bus. Anyway, he could not see any trace of using the disguise technique.
"If this person uses the art of disguise, what is his level?"
Qin Zhibo realized that his question was a bit vague and added: "Is his level above you? Or below?"
Kuroba Kaito thought in silence for a moment, then suddenly laughed playfully and said: "Of course my disguise skills are better than his!"
"I doubt it."
"Hey! Have a little faith in me, okay?"
"well."
Kuroba Kaito has a somewhat narcissistic personality, so Qin Zhibo's inner disguise ability is probably Kuroba Kaito ≥ someone.
It would be great if you could see other people's skill proficiency levels when you contact and investigate other people.
Of course, if you can get in touch with "New Wisdom", all problems will naturally be solved.
…
"you are late."
"Being late is a woman's privilege, isn't it?"
In the observation restaurant of the Rice Flower Central Building, Toru Amuro, wearing a bartender uniform, pulled out a chair for his date like a gentleman.
The person Tohru Amuro is dating is an elegant lady, with long wavy golden hair flowing down like a waterfall, and a flawless and cold goddess face that can make the heartbeats of all men in the world beat faster.
This is not the magic-blessed charm of Koizumi Anko, but the natural charm of being a woman.
"In order to make up for being late this time, haven't I booked the entire observation restaurant to talk to you with my true face?"
"Bourbon."
Looking at the beauty in front of him, Bourbon was unmoved and just smiled.
"Belmod, if you have anything to say, just say it now."
"The appetizers will be served later. I don't think we can have a pleasant meal while talking about business."
