The Grammatical Investigator in Conan

As the motor starts, the cable car slowly goes down the mountain.

In the carriage, Secretary Yoshino glanced around and landed on the seat where Eizo Domoto had just sat.

Immediately, her eyes became stern, she took out a pair of black gloves from her pocket and put them on her palms.

Regarding Domoto Eizo's "Magic to Prove the Non-Existence of Magic" plan, as the deputy president's secretary, she had actually known the entire plan secretly with the help of a bug installed in the president's office.

It's just that she chose the same reaction as everyone else, with the purpose of taking advantage of the situation and killing Eizo Domoto while he was implementing his plan.

But when she came out of the tunnel just now, she was surprised to find that the corpse dummy that was originally planned to be placed on the left hand of the goddess statue was missing.

According to Domoto Eizo's original plan, he planned to let everyone discover the dummy body in the hands of the goddess statue, and then run from the mountaintop station to the observation deck to check the situation.

He used the return cable car to arrive at the viewing platform of the Goddess Statue first, threw away the dummy, and announced that he was not dead, thereby clarifying that the curse of the Goddess Statue did not exist, and by the way, he deceived the Donghai Press who reported the fake news in advance.

The key to this technique is that except for Domoto Eizo and Domoto Nagao, outsiders do not know that there is a hidden staircase from the tunnel to the observation deck, which only takes three minutes.

What she chose was to take the second return cable car and follow the same route to catch up with Eizo Domoto. She killed the real person and placed it on the left hand of the goddess statue, while the dummy was disposed of in a nearby incinerator.

It would take the others at least twenty minutes to run from the top station to the observation deck, enough time for them to avenge their brother.

But without the dummy, Domoto Eizo's original plan failed, and her plan also ceased to exist.

Next, Eizo Domoto might just take the cable car back to the bottom of the mountain, or go to the tunnel to meet others.

But no matter which one it is, he will completely lose the chance of revenge.

She had endured humiliation and endured heavy work under the hands of her enemies for so long just for this day. She had to find a way to kill Eizo Domoto on the most meaningful day.

This is the best opportunity to make a move.

In the cable car, the seat cover creaked.

Domoto Eizo opened the cover, sat up and gasped for air, while complaining: "Damn it, why is it different from what was promised?"

Although he was lying in the seat, he could still vaguely hear the voices outside. He knew that no one mentioned the dummy body on the goddess statue, only that he disappeared from the carriage.

If no one discovers the dummy, how can we proceed with the plan to "change him into a living person"? Why did you trick reporters from Dongdong Poster Agency into writing false reports?

Even if no one found out, wouldn't the eldest son who knew his full plan come forward to remind others?

It’s really not enough to succeed but more than enough to fail.

Just when Domoto Eizo couldn't stop complaining, his eyes suddenly froze and he realized that he was not the only one in the supposedly empty carriage.

I saw Yoshino Ayaka standing next to her, her right hand behind her back, and her beautiful eyes glaring at her.

"Ah~"

Domoto Eizo was frightened and trembled, and quickly asked: "Secretary Yoshino! Why are you here? You..."

But before Domoto Eizo could finish speaking, Yoshino Ayaka took out her right hand from behind, holding a sharp dagger tightly in her black glove.

"Y-Yoshino. W-what are you going to do?"

Seeing the dagger, Domoto Eizo's eyes were filled with horror, his pupils trembled and dilated, and his body shrank under the narrow seat. The dominating entrepreneur behaved like a timid child in the face of death.

However, the fierce light in Yoshino Ayaka's eyes was not concealed at all, holding the dagger with murderous intent, and gradually approached Domoto Eizo.

"Domoto, do you still remember the collapse accident that occurred during the development of the Goddess Statue?"

Domoto Eizo looked puzzled at first, and then his expression trembled, as if he had thought of something.

"Are you his?"

"Yes, I am Gao Tian's sister."

Yoshino Ayaka did not deny it, and explained her motives before taking action, which made her enemy understand.

After hearing this, Eizo Domoto quickly raised his hand and explained, "The accident that year was purely an accident! Moreover, the matter was properly handled, and Gao Tian's mother also promised not to pursue any further investigation."

"I won't listen!" Yoshino Ayaka suddenly shouted angrily, "My mother said before she died that she would never forgive the Domoto family."

"This is repaying kindness with enmity!" Eizo Domoto suddenly spoke forcefully, "For so many years, our Domoto family has been funding Gao Tian's mother's medical treatment. What she said is repaying kindness with enmity!"

Yoshino Ayaka shook her head manically: "This is impossible!"

"It's true!" Eizo Domoto straightened his back, "Gao Tian's mother has been suffering from chronic diseases. His salary is not enough to treat her illness. Without the help of our Domoto family."

Eizo Domoto is still fighting for a chance for his own survival.

But at this time, Yoshino Ayaka has completely lost her mind, and the desire for revenge in her mind has been locked on Domoto Eizo. She is so full of anger that she can't care too much, and she is about to rush towards Domoto Eizo with a knife.

"ah--!"

Seeing the sharp cold light stabbing him, Domoto Eizo screamed in fear.

But at this critical moment, a man's voice sounded from the corner of the cable car.

"Wait a minute! Miss Yoshino!"

Eizo Domoto and Ayaka Yoshino were startled by the sudden sound. They quickly looked around and discovered that the famous detective Qin Zhibo had appeared in the carriage at some point.

"It's you!"

Yoshino Ayaka made a quick decision and suddenly approached Domoto Eizo who was sitting in the pit of the seat. Taking advantage of his unpreparedness, she put the dagger directly on his neck.

"Don't come here! Otherwise I will kill him now!"

Yoshino Ayaka changed her usual modest tone and threatened Qin Zhibo sternly not to come near.

Qin Zhibo also raised his hands and said, "I won't approach you, you can rest assured on this."

Yoshino Ayaka glanced up and down at Qin Zhibo, who had his hands raised, and asked warily: "How did you get on the cable car?"

Of course, Qin Zhibo couldn't reveal that he could become invisible, so he said casually: "Like President Domoto, he is also hiding under the seat."

Yoshino Ayaka's brain reacted, her face was shocked, and she suddenly said: "Did the vice president tell you this plan in advance?"

Qin Zhibo shook his head, "That's not the case. I saw through this trick just in the cable car, so I was curious to see what the president was going to do."

"But I didn't expect you, Ms. Yoshino"

Yoshino Ayaka's intention to commit murder was indeed unexpected by Qin Zhibo. He originally thought that this young professional just wanted to show what it means to be "a fool as wise as a fool."

"He deserves it!"

Yoshino Ayaka shouted, and the dagger in her hand came closer to Domoto Eizo's neck. The cold light was soaked in traces of blood, which scared Domoto Eizo's body to tremble.

"Mr. Qin, save, save me."

Domoto Eizo's only hope now is Qin Zhibo in front of him, and he can only beg for help.

Qin Zhibo glanced at him and ignored him. He turned to Yoshino Ayaka and said, "Ms. Yoshino, actually I heard some of your conversation just now."

"If what President Domoto said is true, I think he is worthy of death."

"After all, the Domoto family helped your mother when she was ill. Regarding the accident, your mother should have received hush money from the Domoto family so that the situation could be calmed down."

"I don't think it's worth risking your life, Ms. Yoshino, for a revenge that neither of us would have done in the first place."

Qin Zhibo calmly explained the hatred between the two parties from a third-party perspective.

In his opinion, although an accident occurred during Domoto Company's project, resulting in the death of Yoshino's brother, Domoto Company also compensated as much as possible afterwards.

If Yoshino's mother doesn't want to accept the apology, she can refuse to accept compensation and make the matter bigger.

Although Domoto Company seems to be the stronger party, judging from today's opening ceremony, there are also many people who oppose Domoto Company, including newspapers, believers and villagers. It is not a problem to make things big.

But this mother not only accepted the compensation but kept silent about it, but also wanted her sister to have the best time to avenge her brother. This approach was really selfish.

The hatred between the two sides is not impossible to reconcile, and it would not have developed to the point it is today.

If accidents occurred in all projects, and the relatives of the victims had to kill the boss of Party A to vent their hatred, then the social order would have been disrupted.

And you can't kill them all like this, because a project can never be promoted by one person.

After listening to Qin Zhibo's words, Yoshino Ayaka's expression softened slightly, but her attitude remained tough.

"What helped my mother cure her illness? It was just that the Domoto family felt guilty and made up for it after the accident."

Qin Zhibo saw that Yoshino Ayaka's thinking had changed a bit, so he continued to persuade: "Let's do this. Since you think it is compensation after the accident, then call the vice president to confirm."

"Anyway, President Domoto's life is in your hands now. As long as you feel unsatisfied with the answer, you can always follow your inner thoughts."

Yoshino Ayaka's attitude was still hesitant, but Qin Zhibo had already taken out his phone and dialed Mao Lilan's number.

At the same time, a large number of people were spreading out on the Tianbu Mountain hiking trail, searching for the route of the cable car.

"President Domoto! President Domoto!"

"dad!"

"President!"

Everyone is searching on the premise that Domoto Eizo fell from the cable car.

Conan and Mao Lilan moved with the crowd, their eyes suddenly widened, and they looked around alertly.

"Sister Xiaolan? Where has Uncle Qin gone?"

Mao Lilan also looked back and saw that it was indeed as if she had never met Qin Zhibo again since going down the mountain. It was obvious that everyone got off the cable car together.

"I do not know either."

At this time, Mao Lilan seemed to be possessed by Brother Dao, looking around in confusion.

Seeing this scene, Conan suddenly remembered Qin Zhibo's intriguing words and eyes after Domoto Eizo disappeared.

Combined with the fact that Qin Zhibo did not act with the large army, the answer is ready to come out.

Did Domoto Eizo not fall at all?

Although he immediately checked all the exits of the cable car, he ignored the most important possibility because of all the strange things that happened in the tunnel and Domoto Eizo's own scream.

Eizo Domoto may not have left the cable car at all, he directed and acted everything.

But this technique cannot be completed by one person, and another person is needed to assist.

Conan took a quick glance and realized that this person could only be someone from Domoto Company, most likely the vice president.

Just when Conan was about to run over to confirm, Mao Lilan's phone next to him suddenly rang.

Ding--

Mao Lilan answered the phone and was a little surprised to hear the voice on the other side.

"Mr. Qin, where are you now?"

When Conan heard this, he quickly stopped and turned to look at Mao Lilan.

"What? Looking for Mr. Vice President"

Mao Lilan glanced around and saw Domoto Nagao, who was tremblingly holding the steps down the mountain, and ran over quickly.

"Mr. Domoto, Mr. Qin gave you the phone number."

"Me?" Domoto Nagao took the phone doubtfully and held it to his ear.

On the cable car on the other side, Qin Zhibo turned the phone on speakerphone and asked: "During the development of Tianbu Mountain, was there an accident and a worker named Gao Tian died?"

Domoto's son was shocked when he heard this, "How did you know?"

"You say yes or no."

After hesitating for two seconds, Domoto Nagao's voice said slowly: "Yes."

"Well, let me ask you again, how was the aftermath of the accident handled?"

The elder Domoto was still hesitant, but Qin Zhibo gave a sharp shout.

"Say it!"

This sound frightened the eldest son of Domoto to the point where his hair stood on end, and he quickly confessed: "After that, we arranged the funeral, and then spent a lot of money to ask his mother not to publicize the matter."

"Did she agree at that time?" Qin Zhibo continued to question.

"Yes." Domoto Choo took a deep breath, "Although his mother was extremely reluctant at the time, seeing that I had been funding her medical treatment, she still reluctantly agreed."

"Is the funding thing true? What evidence is there?" Qin Zhibo asked again.

Domoto Nagao responded weakly, "Many people in the village know about it, just ask around."

The phone was on speakerphone, and Qin Zhibo showed the contents of the call in front of Yoshino Ayaka.

Yoshino Ayaka's eyes widened, her beautiful eyes full of disbelief.

In her imagination, Domoto Company must have taken advantage of its position to coerce and induce her mother to compromise.

But unexpectedly, Domoto's company not only gave him money, but also took care of his family a long time ago, and both parties also agreed on a compensation plan.

But since it has been resolved, why did he say to himself before his death that he would never forgive the Domoto family and that he would take revenge?

Mother

Yoshino Ayaka's eyes were stunned, and two lines of clear tears fell from the corners of her eyes, which wet her face, and she stood there numbly.

The dagger in his hand gradually let go, and there was a crash, like a huge stone falling to the ground.

Without the coercion of the dagger, Domoto Eizo in the seat breathed a sigh of relief, but then he stood up angrily and rebuked loudly.

"You vicious woman! You actually want to kill me!"

With that said, Eizo Domoto raised his hand and was about to swipe it towards Yoshino Ayaka's face.

But at this moment, Qin Zhibo had already stepped forward, raised his hand and grabbed Domoto Eizo's wrist.

The powerful force controlled him tightly like an iron pincer, and Domoto Eizo could not move despite several struggles.

"Mr. Domoto, I think everything will be decided by the police next time."
