The Grammatical Investigator in Conan

The shiny black Toyota limousine was driving on the asphalt road in the mountains, somewhat incompatible with the surrounding rural scenery.

The wooden signs of different sizes placed on both sides of the road make the scenery even more disharmonious.

Taking a closer look, the wooden sign basically has the word "objection" written in big letters, and the specific content of the opposition is the construction of an aerial cable car.

There is also a wooden sign "greeting" the Domoto family, with fierce words such as: If you blaspheme the goddess of heaven, you will not be allowed to live in the house, and you will go to Abi hell.

Things like this can be found everywhere.

"It seems there is a lot of local opposition."

"Your company asked me to come forward, isn't it because you want me to deal with these people?"

Qin Zhibo asked lightly, and Secretary Yoshino, who was driving in the front seat, didn't reveal much.

"There is also a reason for this. Our president will personally explain it later."

Arriving at the foot of Tianbu Mountain from the village, a luxurious mountain resort hotel stands in front of you.

Under the leadership of Secretary Yoshino, Qin Zhibo, Conan, and Mao Lilan were taken to the VIP room, where some people were already sitting.

Qin Zhibo could distinguish the identities of several people from their seats at a glance.

The person facing the door is called Eizou Domoto, 65 years old, with a social credit of 4,500.

A tall, muscular man with an elegant mustache that is quite dignified. It would be a pity not to be the president just with such a domineering appearance.

There were two people sitting on the seat next to him. One was sitting upright, with his hands on his knees, looking a little groveling.

The other one was leaning on the sofa with his legs crossed, looking relaxed and relaxed.

Judging from the information above, they are the eldest son and second son of Eizo Domoto.

Secretary Yoshino's introduction confirmed Qin Zhibo's conjecture.

"This is the president of our Domoto Tourism Company, Eizou Domoto."

Domoto Eizo took over the conversation, stretched out his right hand, and complimented: "It's better to be famous than to meet. Your famous detective Qin Zhibo's name is like thunder even in a place like our countryside."

"Everywhere, it's just a false name."

Qin Zhibo responded angrily. After all, he was the one who paid for it.

At this time, the two people on the other side of the sofa also took the initiative to introduce themselves.

"Welcome Mr. Qin Zhibo."

"I am the vice president of Domoto Tourism Company, Domoto Yasunori."

The groveling middle-aged man introduced himself first, and the two shook hands and became acquainted.

The other man briefly introduced himself, "My name is Domoto Junpei. I am the second son of the Domoto family, but I do not hold any position in my father's company now."

Qin Zhibo took a careful look at the top of the man's head. Although he claimed not to work in his family's company, his occupation was still that of president, so he probably had a company of his own.

The president, vice president, and president of this family.

This makes it difficult for me to choose the victim~

After the introduction of the candidates, they took their seats, and Eizo Domoto began to introduce the commission.

The main content of the commission is naturally to attend the opening ceremony of the aerial cable car tomorrow as a special guest.

However, since most of the villagers were opposed to the operation of the aerial cable car, Eizo Domoto was worried that someone would come to the ceremony tomorrow to cause trouble, so he moved the famous detective to the venue.

In places like the countryside, the police's deterrent effect is not that great. After all, village police generally live in the village and do not dare to offend the villagers too much out of consideration for their feelings.

But detectives are different. This profession is often shrouded in mystery. Some ignorant villagers may even think that detectives are government employees and have law enforcement powers.

In particular, famous detectives who often appear in newspapers and news and repeatedly solve strange cases are a symbol of authority.

Because of this, Domoto Eizo's initial idea was to invite Mouri Kogoro, who had a higher appearance rate in various media.

But helplessly, Mouri Kogoro turned down the commission on the grounds of busy work and replaced him with Qin Zhibo, who had never appeared on TV but was often seen in newspapers.

After Domoto Eizo finished speaking about his request, Qin Zhibo nodded clearly.

"I understand, my job is to ensure that tomorrow's ceremony goes smoothly, right?"

"Yes, I'll leave everything to you." As the vice president, Domoto Nagao bowed slightly.

Qin Zhibo raised his hand to stop, and then said: "But the rule for me to accept a commission is to receive a 50% deposit first. I don't know if you will give me cash or credit card?"

As soon as these words came out, Mr. Domoto was stunned.

Do I need to pay a deposit to commission a detective?

The few people seemed to have never seen the detective before, looking at each other in confusion.

In fact, this is the unspoken rule of this industry. As long as you are a slightly famous detective who wants to send someone on a business trip with just a phone call, you must first pay a deposit of 50% of the commission fee.

Otherwise, wouldn't it be a waste of time if the detective arrives and finds out that there is nothing like this?

This is one of the reasons why Mouri Kogoro doesn't want to come over. He doesn't even give a deposit. Do you still understand the rules? Or look down upon his sleeping Mouri Kogoro?

Qin Zhibo arrived at the destination first and then started asking for a deposit, which was already relatively restrained.

Of course, if it is a general entrustment, Qin Zhibo will not be in a hurry to ask for a deposit now after confirming that the entrustment is genuine.

But this is not an ordinary commission. With Conan appearing and multiple presidents in a high-end bureau, Qin Zhibo is afraid that if he is too late, he will not be able to get the money at all.

No one can predict whether a president will drink the green tea on the table and die in the next second.

Hearing that Qin Zhibo wanted a deposit now, Domoto Eizo looked a little ugly.

He's a little less famous than Mouri Kogoro, so it's good to not get a discount on the original commission fee, but you still need a deposit?

But the invitation to invite famous detectives to the ceremony has already been announced in advance. If they stop now, the villagers will think that Domoto Company is a paper tiger, and they will be even more reluctant in the future.

After weighing the matter, Domoto Eizo could only agree.

"Later, I will send someone to deliver the deposit to your residence."

After the deposit matter was settled, the second son, Domoto Junpei, who was sitting on the side, made fun of him.

"My father's style of conduct has always been known for being arbitrary, so he made a lot of enemies, to the point where he had to spend a lot of money to hire a detective."

"That's why I had to start my own business as early as possible and engage in businesses related to imported small commodities."

Speaking of starting his own business, the second son couldn't hide the pride on his face.

The elder Domoto sitting next to him twitched his ears, his face became gloomy, and he said in a strange tone: "Oh? Isn't it because the business is not going well that you came back today to find our dad's working capital?"

"What did you say!"

The second man seemed to be stabbed in the heart, and immediately became anxious. Just as he was about to have a seizure, the door of the VIP room was pushed open, and a fashionably dressed urban beauty walked in.

Seeing the appearance of this beauty, Eizo Domoto, who had been quietly watching the quarrel between his two sons just now, immediately showed an expression of joy on his face.

When Conan saw this scene, he complained in his heart: This perverted old man, how can he find such a young wife at such an old age?

But Qin Zhibo has seen through the truth. Although he is a little surprised by the subtlety of genetic inheritance, this beauty is indeed Domoto Eizo's youngest daughter.

"It turns out to be Rina, you just came back from Tokyo by car?"

"Yes, this is dad's top priority. No matter how busy I am, I have to come back in time~"

The woman smiled coquettishly, but this aroused the dissatisfaction of the second son, and said directly: "That's really nice to say. I left home without authorization, and I have been playing crazy outside for the past year. Now I still have the nerve to say it."

"In my opinion, most likely you will borrow money from dad when you come back this time, right?"

Domoto Rina immediately clenched her fists and responded in a fierce tone, "How rude! What about you? You completely disdain your family's tourism business. Why are you coming back now?"

"What do you know."

While other people's family ugliness cannot be exposed, this family's family's family ugliness is desperately trying to expose it.

Seeing this scene, Qin Zhibo finally understood.

They are a family of brothers and sisters who respect each other and love each other, but everything needs to be enclosed in quotation marks.

Perhaps because he felt that he could not lose face in front of outsiders, Domoto Eizo, who had been trying to raise Gu just now, finally spoke up and scolded everyone to cease fire immediately.

And he also noticed the young man coming behind Domoto Rina, and asked: "Rina, who is this gentleman behind you?"

Qin Zhibo turned his head and saw that this man was also very fashionably dressed, wearing sunglasses with color-changing lenses, two small earrings on his right ear, and a small yellow hair that had the potential to be a cowherd.

But what is surprising is that he is not a cowherd.

"Hello everyone, my name is Tetsuya Aoyagi, and I am a reporter for a newspaper."

"Vice President Domoto, I was rude on the phone last time."

Domoto Choo suddenly said, "So it's you." Then he whispered to Domoto Eizo.

When Domoto Eizo heard this, he also showed an unkind expression.

Qin Zhibo observed the wonderful performances in the small VIP room, and had to guess that this time it would not be a simple matter of choosing one of the three.

At this time, Secretary Yoshino proposed to let the famous detective experience the cable car first, and everyone ended the meeting in the VIP room.

The starting point of Tianbu Mountain's aerial cable car is right behind the resort hotel and is integrated with the hotel.

As the vice president, Domoto Nagao and Secretary Yoshino accompanied him, plus Qin Zhibo and Ke Lan, a total of five people got on the cable car.

Under Secretary Yoshino's introduction, several people learned about the general operation of the cable car.

The total distance from the bottom of the mountain to the top is three kilometers, and the cable car can climb up in 10 minutes.

There are two cable cars running on this line. Like a conveyor belt, one cable car goes up the mountain and the other cable car goes down the mountain at the same time. This operation method is called "cross-traveling cable car".

Conan on the side nodded and secretly made a mental note, gaining new knowledge.

In addition to the sightseeing cable car, the path up the mountain also has winding trails on the mountain, which are actually layers of marble steps.

Ke Lan stood in front and admired the scenery, while Domoto Nagao and Qin Zhibo discussed the people who might come out to cause trouble tomorrow.

"Actually, there are more than one or two people who oppose us. Some residents in the town cannot agree with us because of money. More importantly, a nun named Shen Shanjing from a nearby temple is instigating the villagers, which makes the villagers afraid of offending the gods. And lead to accidents."

"Even the local newspaper used the headline of whether the curse of the goddess statue exists, deliberately stoking the dissatisfaction of the villagers, making it very difficult for us."

When Domoto Nagao mentioned the name "Kamiyama Shizu", Qin Zhibo thought of the old woman dressed as a nun he met on the train.

Because the name was very special, Qin Zhibo remembered it and it turned out that she was Shenshan Jing.

This name should be something like a Taoist name, otherwise calling yourself a "sacred mountain" would be too presumptuous.

The cable car moves forward slowly.

When we reached the mountainside, a towering giant statue stood in front of us.

Qin Zhibo walked to the window of the cable car and looked up.

This is a huge stone statue with a height of forty meters. It is said to be a goddess, but in fact it is the image of a female Bodhisattva. One hand is making seals, the other is holding a pearl, and under its feet is a slightly rough but vaguely discernible lotus platform.

Unfortunately, a huge hole was dug out in the center of the lotus platform, which was used as a tunnel for the cable car to pass through the stone statue.

Now Qin Zhibo understood why the villagers were opposed.

You fucked the Bodhisattva's lotus platform through. How can the villagers not get angry?

Since the villagers regard this statue as a firm belief, this statue of the goddess must have stood for many years, at least it can be regarded as a cultural relic.

Isn't this considered destroying cultural relics?

However, Qin Zhibo understood when he thought of the twin skyscrapers that were once the largest illegal construction in Nishitama City. It is estimated that the Domoto family used extraordinary means to open up some joints.

Evil capitalists, reap the consequences!

Of course, the negative consequences that Qin Zhibo believes are not the opposition and protests of the villagers.

Qin Zhibo, who has seen many related cases, knows that when competing with capital, it is often ordinary people who are bruised and bruised in the end.

If the villagers' opposition had been effective, it would not have been delayed until now. Big holes have been dug and the opening ceremony has to be held.

Every cause must have its effect, and your retribution will be me, Conan!

While Qin Zhibo was thinking wildly, the aerial cable car had slowly entered the tunnel in the middle of the Lotus Terrace.

The bright sunshine suddenly faded away, and the open mountain scenery was replaced by a dark and depressing space.

Qin Zhibo stood by the window, looking around, and found that there seemed to be some vague figure in the tunnel.

There is not just one figure, but hundreds of heads!

Qin Zhibo turned on his night vision goggles and looked carefully, and was shocked to find that there were hundreds of Arhat statues in this huge tunnel.

Since there is no lighting equipment in the tunnel, the only way to observe these Arhat statues is with the light inside the cable car. In the dark light, it looks like hundreds of human heads arranged neatly.

Qin Zhibo was surprised and asked: "These are"

Domoto Nagao hurriedly introduced: "These are the Five Hundred Arhat statues that my father asked the masons to build. They say that the gods and arhats are matched with men and women."

Forehead.

Hearing this anti-intellectual operation, Qin Zhibo was speechless.

What does it mean to be a match between a goddess and an arhat? Anyone with a little bit of religious knowledge knows that Bodhisattvas actually have no gender, right?

And you, 500 Arhats, are hiding in the lotus platform of the Goddess. What on earth do you want to do?

I suspect you are engaging in imperial sex, and I have proof!

Moreover, this scene is so underworld. If you don’t look carefully, you would really think that there are 500 heads placed there, all of which are bald.

It's really a sightseeing "light" cable car, the light of the bald head.

Just when Qin Zhibo couldn't stop complaining in his heart, a system prompt suddenly came from the corner of his field of vision.

[Ding, the search found that there are starry sky fishermen nearby]
