The Grammatical Investigator in Conan

Of course, the decapitation of the goddess was not only a punishment for the blasphemous sinners, but also the insensitive local residents.

According to the Bible, once the gods are offended, there will be a plague of blood and floods, a plague of frogs, a plague of lice, a plague of flies, a plague of livestock, a plague of boils, a plague of hail, a plague of locusts, a plague of darkness, and a plague of the firstborn.

The sudden unknown earthquake in Tianbu Mountain is the beginning of disaster and the precursor of divine punishment.

People in the Tianbu Mountain area were panicked for a while, and capable villagers went out to seek refuge from the disaster. The remaining villagers who were unable to leave gathered in front of the Domoto Hotel to hold a larger-scale protest.

However, the police certainly cannot use "Goddess Punishment" to close the case, after all, it also involves an obviously man-made murder.

Fortunately, with the help of Qin Zhibo, the "truth" was restored.

At noon the next day, Qin Zhibo rested a little better and his willpower returned to 70, and he was questioned by Henggou Zhenwu.

Qin Zhibo was still a little puzzled. After asking carefully, he found out that Conan had "betrayed" him while he was sleeping.

"Uncle was not in the room last night, so he must know something."

Originally, Qin Zhibo didn't want to get too involved in this matter, but after what Conan said, he had to explain some circumstances to avoid arousing suspicion.

In order to reasonably explain why he was out in the middle of the night, Qin Zhibo said that when he got up at night, he accidentally noticed a group of people sneaking up Tianbu Mountain.

After I put on my clothes and followed him, I discovered that the villagers and believers headed by Shenshan Jing had held Domoto and his son hostage, saying that they wanted to punish them.

The wounds on Domoto Eizo were caused by the believers using pickaxes.

Later, there was an earthquake. He only focused on escaping for his life and didn't know anything else.

Henggou Sengo immediately asked his men to confirm, and sure enough he learned that some people in the village were missing, including Kato Shizu from the temple.

"Kato Shizu?" Qin Zhibo was confused.

"Yes." The policeman in the village nodded, "The nun in the temple's real name is Kato Shizu, and Kamiyama Shizu is her monastic name."

Next, Henggou Zhenwu asked his subordinates to inform the families of the missing persons about what Qin Zhibo said, so as to prevent these people from continuing to spread rumors and say that they were "hidden" or something like that.

In the hotel lobby, Hengo Sango personally told Domoto Shio and Domoto Rina what happened to Domoto Eizo and Choo.

After receiving such bad news, Domoto Rina was so frightened that he fainted immediately. The expression on the second son's face was also very complicated, both sad and unwilling.

Although both of them could not understand their father's tough behavior and quarreling with their eldest brother, they would not suffer such terrible revenge.

"Please grief."

Henggou Zhenwu replied in a very standard manner, and just as he was about to leave, he was stopped by a hotel employee on the side.

"Mr. Police Officer, I saw it"

Henggou Shenwu looked happy, thinking that there was another witness, and quickly asked: "Oh? What did you see!"

"I was sleeping in my room at midnight last night and saw a particularly huge bird flying over the top of Tianbu Mountain. It was so big that it could almost cover the entire Tianbu Mountain!"

The hotel employee was gesturing with his hands as he spoke. He probably wanted to describe the image of the bird, but he didn't know how to express it.

Hearing this, Henggou Shenwu's face darkened, and he almost said, "You are making fun of me, right?"

But out of politeness, Henggou Zhenwu still looked at Qin Zhibo next to him, "Mr. Qin, did you see a 'big bird' last night?"

Qin Zhibo shook his head without conscience, "No."

Compared to the hotel employees, Henggou Senwu was definitely more willing to trust a famous detective with a social credit of 8,200, so he impatiently persuaded him: "You must have been confused while sleeping and mistakenly saw the clouds in the sky as birds."

"Impossible!" the hotel employee said with a serious face, "I heard from the village this morning that many people saw it last night!"

"It's just that they were all sleepy." Henggou Shenwu waved his hand and left.

What's wrong with birds? He is so worried that he doesn't want to care about birds now, he just wants to solve people's problems.

Moreover, the largest bird known to mankind is the ostrich, which is only slightly larger than a human. How could a bird similar to a mountain exist?

If there really was such a big bird in the world, and it would be like a hill when it landed on the ground, it must have been discovered long ago.

However, Conan frowned and felt that the problem was not that simple.

According to past experience in handling cases, some seemingly unscientific situations are often key techniques related to the case.

He quickly ran over, raised his head and asked in a childish voice: "Brother, what does that 'bird' look like?"

The skill of answering questions was activated, and the hotel staff immediately bent down and explained carefully.

"It has an elongated head, a flat body, no wings, and its body is slightly shiny."

Conan actively mobilized his imagination and natural science knowledge, but still couldn't figure out what kind of species this was.

First of all, it's strange enough that it doesn't have wings. How can a bird not have wings?

But wouldn’t it make sense if it was not a bird, but a specially made kite used to commit crimes?

Conan expressed his suspicion, but the hotel staff rejected the idea.

"I'm pretty sure it's not a kite, it's a living thing."

"And that bird is so big, its body is at least two kilometers long!"

Conan looked shocked. If it was a two-kilometer-long kite, it would indeed be beyond common sense.

Whether it's a kite or a bird, such a big thing flying in the sky will definitely not go unnoticed.

But Qin Zhibo said he didn't see it.

At least one of the hotel employees and Qin Zhibo is lying. Who is it?

Conan held his chin up, as if in deep thought, when a pair of white jade hands suddenly picked him up from under his armpits.

"Conan, don't wander around."

"It's quite chaotic right now. What if you get lost?"

Being held in Mao Lilan's arms like a mascot, Conan could only pause and think.

In the afternoon, Henggou Zhenwu reported the situation to his superiors and requested that the ruins be excavated and the bodies of all the victims found.

The application was quickly approved by the higher authorities, but encountered great resistance during implementation.

First of all, the collapse of Tianbu Mountain was located on the mountain vertebra halfway up the mountain. Excavators could not drive up the mountain and had to be excavated manually.

However, for a large-scale search like this, the police alone are not enough. They mainly rely on local residents.

After experiencing the "Curse of the Goddess Statue" incident, all nearby villagers were afraid of the decapitated Goddess Statue and did not even dare to approach it, let alone dig it out in person.

Some villagers even believed that Domoto was punished for building a large-scale construction project next to the goddess statue. If the police excavated, they would also be punished, so I protested to the police very indignantly.

As for the families of the victims, it seemed that they had reached a collective consensus in one night, completely denying the police notice of "harming others and causing death in the earthquake", and collectively believed that it was "divine hiding".

The phenomenon of "divine hiding" refers to being hidden by gods and monsters, or abducted, kidnapped, or entertained, so their whereabouts are unknown.

The phenomenon of "divine disappearance" has occurred since ancient times. In fact, it is called disappearance now.

The families of these victims unanimously believe that the victims who disappeared were due to their meritorious service in punishing evildoers. After their meritorious deeds were completed, they were entertained by the gods and "hidden" in the gods.

Since he is a "hidden" person, why bother looking for him?

Therefore, all the family members gave up searching for the body and even joined the team that blocked the exhumation of the body.

Henggou Zhenshuo had no choice in this situation. After all, the law does not punish the public.

Without the manpower support of local people, coupled with unfavorable public opinion and the abandonment of the search by the families of the victims, the Shizuoka Prefecture Police Department finally had to announce that it would give up the search for the bodies buried in Tianbe Mountain.

When Qin Zhibo, who was far away in Tokyo, heard the news, he couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief.

If the ruins of Tianbu Mountain are really to be excavated, the few Shoggoths released by the "God of Black Stone" may appear.

Qin Zhibo didn't know much about Shoggoth. After all, he only heard about it from a lunatic in a lunatic asylum. The wonderful description in "Crazy Mountains" is a part of his own or the substitute messenger's imagination.

But there is no doubt that it is a terrifying creature beyond human common sense.

But as long as those things remain buried in the ruins, there should be no chance of them being exposed, and they may even starve to death due to lack of food.

After this incident, Domoto Company was almost bankrupt, and no further excavations were possible.

As for whether a tourism company will take over the development of Tianbu Mountain in the future, Qin Zhibo feels that the possibility is not high.

After all, with lessons learned from the past, no company should be in trouble again.

"Shoggoth."

Qin Zhibo was lying on the boss's chair, thinking about his "not very successful" fishing this time.

Qin Zhibo thought he was lucky when he caught something of purple quality on his first fishing trip.

But the Shoggoths caught were a bit unsatisfactory.

Apart from eating people and scaring people, this thing seems to have no other purpose.

This reminded Qin Zhibo of a funny four-frame comic.

A fisherman was fishing on the shore, and suddenly a fish bit the bait, which made him very excited. But when the fisherman pulled on his fishing rod, a big shark burst out of the water and swallowed him up.

When he got into the shark's belly, the fisherman discovered that there were already many fishermen in the shark's belly. He was not the first, nor the last.

This cartoon is perfect for describing Qin Zhibo’s “fishing” situation this time.

Qin Zhibo played with the polar black stone in his hand and thought carefully about whether he should go fishing for the second time.

If you catch once and stop fishing, your 5,000 proficiency points will be wasted.

But if he catches some weird creatures again, he won't be able to bear it.

The best result is to catch some items. Even if they are of no use, at least they will not pose a threat to yourself.

After thinking for a long time, Qin Zhibo decided to continue fishing.

Although I can't be sure of the type of fish, I can lower the "bait" by another level this time, so that the possibility of catching something beyond my ability to handle will be reduced.

However, since the so-called "starry sky fishermen" are actually those elephant birds, Qin Zhibo planned to wait until late at night to hold the fishing ceremony.

Late at night, Qin Zhibo climbed to the roof of the office.

This was the first time he went to the roof of the building. He took a look around and found nothing special.

After looking around at the houses around him, most of them had turned off their lights, so Qin Zhibo took out the polar black stone from the toolbar.

The polar black stone is the [starry sky fishing rod].

After the last fishing was completed, Qin Zhibo's consciousness fell into a brief crisis and he did not pay attention to this thing.

But when he woke up, he found that the thing was back in his pocket.

Qin Zhibo didn't understand whether this was the system's prop recycling mechanism or whether the starry sky fisherman put this thing back into his pocket.

Recalling the last moment when Tianbu Mountain collapsed, an elephant bird flew over specially and took me to a safe place.

Logically speaking, perhaps it was his unconscious actions that helped the starry sky anglers liberate their master, the "God of Black Stone," and these anglers in turn helped him.

If we look at it from this perspective, the greatest value of the [Starry Sky Fishing Rod] may not be its fishing function, but rather gaining the favor of the starry sky fishermen?

It would be quite convenient if you could fly freely on the Star Angler?

This reminded Qin Zhibo of his own experience of flying on a MI-Go. To be honest, it was uncomfortable because high altitude was too cold for human skin.

Putting away these miscellaneous thoughts in his mind, Qin Zhibo pointed the aurora black stone at the moon.

When the black stone is pointed at the moon, the pictographic inscriptions on it glow faintly, as if forming some kind of beacon.

About a quarter of an hour later, a huge and weird bird-like shadow appeared in the moonlight and flew straight towards Zhibo Detective Agency.

A starry sky fisherman slowly landed on the roof. Probably because this time it was just a private request, one came.

Qin Zhibo looked at this magical one-legged bird. Although it looked a bit scary, he could get used to it after watching it for a long time.

While he was observing, the Starry Sky Angler suddenly let out a loud crow call impatiently.

Qin Zhibo was shocked, understood immediately, and quickly handed the "bait" placed next to it in front of it.

This is a cloth bag. Inside the bag is a pair of dirty and torn leather shoes worn by Qin Zhibo.

Although Qin Zhibo's clothes never change for thousands of years, no matter how good the quality is, there will be wear and tear, and these leather shoes are obsolete.

"for you."

Qin Zhibo carefully handed it to the Starry Sky Angler, and the Starry Sky Angler opened his huge beak and signaled to throw things inside.

Qin Zhibo: "."

Although I don't have athlete's foot, it seems a bit rude to do this.

But after thinking for two seconds, Qin Zhibo still threw a pair of broken leather shoes into the mouth of the starry sky fisherman.

When he received the leather shoes, the starry sky fisherman immediately opened his huge translucent wings, flapped his wings, and flew into the sky.

Qin Zhibo breathed a sigh of relief as he looked at the bird shadow gradually disappearing into the sky.

You won’t be able to bring back any living things to yourself this time, right?

At the same time, at the foot of Tianbu Mountain, countless rubbles were left uncollected.

In the mess, a figure named "Akira Kato" slowly walked towards the ruins.
