The Grammatical Investigator in Conan

Qin Zhibo listened carefully to the sound coming from the monitor.

Belmod and the boss seemed to be having a conversation in a somewhat empty place, similar to a palace, and there were no other people's voices around them for the time being.

"Sharon..."

"I heard that you were arrested by the FBI. Is that true?"

Boss questioned Belmod, which was something that Belmod tried his best to cover up.

Because she had taken action against Michael in order to cover up her mercy on Conan and Mao Lilan. Although she had reached a deal with Michael, she had to be really caught by the FBI to make up for this lie in front of the boss.

"Yes, boss."

"They followed me all the way from the United States, and after arriving in Japan, they used various identities to get close to me. That day, I was ambushed by the FBI on the dock and I was caught by them."

Boss: "Well..."

Belmod's tone of reply was neither humble nor arrogant, as if a subordinate was making a serious action report to his superiors.

On the contrary, the boss's address to Belmod and his tone, even in questions, were full of pampering and care from an elder to a younger one.

He didn't call Belmod "Belmod", but called her by her first name, Sharon.

Especially "mother of the child", when this title is placed in the mouth of the leader of a dark organization, it actually has the flavor of family affection.

It's similar to how an old couple calls each other "their father" and "their mother" in daily life.

And this sentence contains a lot of information. The most direct information is that Belmode has a child and she is the child's mother.

And when the Boss calls Belmod like this, could it mean that the two were actually married?

Just listening to the voice, the boss's voice is obviously old, at least 70 years old. Considering that rich people usually take better care of themselves and age slower than ordinary people, he should actually be over 90 years old.

And Belmode, Sharon's real age is 49 years old.

If these two people could get together as a couple, it would be a perfect example of eternal love.

But don’t forget that the black organization has been studying things related to “lifespan” for a long time. Based on Elena Miyano’s recording, Qin Zhibo guessed that there are three versions.

The first was the drug research the organization was already conducting.

The second one is that the organization threatened the Miyano couple and used the first version of the drug plus the research results of Shiroji Pharmaceutical to create an improved second-generation version.

The third one was after the death of Miyano and his wife, Ai Haihara took over the research and developed APTX-4869, which triggers rejuvenation with probability.

As the experimenter of the second version, Belmode is suspected of having acquired the ability to freeze his age.

If the first version of the drug is also related to lifespan, the boss may have taken this drug to achieve the effect of prolonging life.

If this is the case, Qin Zhibo thought of the rich man Karasuma Renya mentioned in the notes left by the father of the old lady Qianjian in the dusk villa.

40 years ago, this man was already a dying centenarian and the boss of the black organization. The evidence is that Piske served beside him when he was young.

If the current physical age of the boss who is currently speaking is 70 years old, and his pre-maintenance age is 90 years old, plus he has taken life-enhancing drugs, his real age must be over 100 years old...

Could it be that the current boss of the organization is Renya Karasuma who has lived for a century and a half?

Thinking of this, Qin Zhibo's body shuddered unconsciously, and suddenly he felt that he had encountered the "Old Black Mountain Demon".

In a world where everyone else was thinking about how to live a long life, he actually thought about how to become an immortal!

But the same old monster is not only Karasuma Renye, but also the leader of the zoo organization, Baron Hauptmann, who is at least a hundred years old.

It's just that people of this age would have lost their fertility long ago, even if the time were set back 30 years, right? How is it possible to have a child with Belmode?

Unless the "tadpoles" are frozen while they are young and then undergo in vitro fertilization.

When "tadpoles" are cryopreserved, they can be stored for several years, ten years, or even decades without losing their cell activity.

Although this technical method did not appear a hundred years ago, if the organization boss is a good-natured person, he may develop it by himself and experience it first.

Thinking that the organization boss might use this method to force Belmod to give birth to a child for him, Qin Zhibo felt that Belmod was still a somewhat pitiful woman.

As for whether Belmod has true love with the organization's boss, it's hard to say.

If the old man didn't know how to explode gold coins, who would want to find the old man?

A young, non-mainstream handsome guy like Gin, except for the occasional BT look in his eyes, isn't he cool?

…

At this time, Belmode seemed to feel that his explanation was not perfect enough, so he added.

"On the dock, I met Shuichi Akai, the FBI ace who infiltrated the organization four years ago and almost planned to capture Gin."

"Calvados was forced by that man to commit suicide..."

Although Belmode did not see Calvados commit suicide with his own eyes, he spent some time in the FBI and did not find Calvados, so he guessed that the man must have committed suicide.

"Hmm..." The boss groaned again, "The name Akai Shuichi reminds me of another man named 'Akai'."

Belmode: "Akai...is that what you said?"

Boss recalled like an elder with serious words, "Seventeen years ago, Rum handled a case for me, but he made a mistake and let an MI6 named 'Akai Mutake' follow the clues and find us."

"Although I sent people to hunt down the man in time, his body could not be found anyway, which made me very worried."

"In addition, in recent years, investigation organizations from various countries have discovered the existence of the organization. If that man is still alive, MI6 will definitely find a way to get close..."

"If Akai Shuichi is really the descendant of that man, then I'm afraid we have underestimated him before..."

"I'm afraid this person will be the 'silver bullet' that destroys us."

Faced with the boss's concerns, Belmode did not reply.

After a while, the boss issued another command.

"There is news from Curacao, and the Japanese police have begun to notice us, and they may even have taken action."

"Recently, there is a candidate with a tough attitude who has high popularity. If he is allowed to continue to develop, coupled with the clues provided by the Japanese public security, it may be detrimental to our future path."

Belmod said: "Boss, what do you mean?"

Boss: "Since he may become our enemy in the future, we cannot let him grow up..."

"I will leave this matter to Gin. I may need your assistance then. Join them after you heal your leg injury."

"Sharon, there will be many places that will need you in the future. Take care of yourself."

Belmode: "Yes, boss."

Boss: "Also, don't make stupid mistakes again...like the yellow sticker on the hem of your clothes, what's going on?"

"Stickers? What stickers?"

Belmod's voice was a little panicked, because she clearly remembered that Conan always had some weird little inventions on his body. Could it be that that time...

But in fact, the person who was more panicked at this time was Qin Zhibo, because that sticker was exactly the monitor he put on!

The position where I posted it is hidden enough, but this old man who is over 100 years old can still see it!

"Come up here, take it off and let me see."

Boss's voice became serious, not as gentle as before, it seemed like an order.

Footsteps slowly climbed up the steps and took about ten steps before stopping.

After two seconds of silence, Qin Zhibo heard a voice.

"is it you?"

A greeting sounded in Qin Zhibo's ears, as if the boss himself was speaking into his ears at this moment.

Each word was like a heavy weight falling into his brain, sending a chill down Qin Zhibo's back and shivers spreading throughout his body.

Did he see that this was a monitor?

But in the eyes of ordinary people, it is just a sticker. Why do you think it is a monitor?

This was so weird that even Qin Zhibo's brain had an illusion. He subconsciously held his breath and didn't dare to move, for fear that the other party could really hear his voice.

"Boss, this seems to be an ordinary sticker..."

With a hiss, Qin Zhibo lost his listening voice.

This was probably because Belmode had removed the sticker with his own hands. Once the sticker was removed, it lost its eavesdropping function.

But even so, it was enough to give Qin Zhibo a big shock.

Although the boss of the black organization is probably Renya Karasuma who has lived for 140 years, his actual physical age is definitely much younger than imagined!

The eye can observe a sticker the size of a fingernail on a person from ten steps away.

The memory can clearly remember the names of people and related events from 17 years ago.

In terms of thinking, he can also deal with various things within the organization in an organized manner, and even current social figures are paying attention.

In addition to the shock brought by the boss's excellent physical fitness, there is also important information revealed in the boss's words.

As expected, Akai Mutake was engaged in a detective-related profession, just as he had guessed, but it was M16.

With the computer in front of him, Qin Zhibo entered quickly and found the answer easily.

The American M16 is a rifle that uses 5.56mm bullets...

What a mistake!

Again!

British MI6, the full name of "British Army Intelligence Bureau Six", referred to as "MI6", is a British intelligence agency that matches the American CIA.

When Qin Zhibo mentioned MI6, he thought of James Bond, the protagonist of the famous 007 series of movies.

It turns out that Akai Shuichi's father and "my" best friend is Bond...

Boss also mentioned the case 17 years ago, and with the clues he just found, it is basically possible to identify the case that Akai Mutake is investigating as Haneda Koji's case.

Unexpectedly, he deceived Shuichi Akai last night and hit the right answer. The disappearance of Akai Muwu was indeed related to the black organization.

Not only that, the boss also mentioned a person codenamed "Rum" and a person codenamed "Curaçao".

Leaving aside rum, Curacao is more intriguing.

This person in Curacao can provide information about the police, so he must have infiltrated the police.

There was also the previous leak of Kinoshita Tomonori's escort route, which made Qin Zhibo suspect that there was a mole within the Metropolitan Police Department.

Now it seems that this is Curacao.

This is an important piece of information. Since he joined the organization, he has not provided any information to Haneda Yasuharu. This information should be important enough.

It's a pity that this is just a code name without a specific identity or appearance. At most, it just alerts the police to the problem of moles.

Qin Zhibo took out a piece of paper from the drawer and sorted out the information gathered this time on the paper.

1. Belmode has a child, and the child’s father is the boss of the organization?

2. Akai Mutake was MI6. He investigated the Haneda Koji case 17 years ago, but was silenced by the organization?

3. Rum is the murderer in the 2017 case. What is his identity?

4. Curacao infiltrated the Japanese police, what is his identity?

5. A Japanese congressman candidate is about to be assassinated

The last piece of information was the only one without any doubts. If the organization boss planned to hand it over to Gin, Gin would most likely take him with him.

After sorting out the information about this harvest in his head, Qin Zhibo took out his nuclear lighter and burned the paper.

Just when Qin Zhibo opened the window to ventilate and dissipate the smell of burning, there was a knock on the door at the office.

Toot, toot, toot.

Qin Zhibo was shocked. He had just eavesdropped on the conversation between Belmod and the boss and was almost discovered. He wouldn't have found him so soon, would he?

To be cautious, Qin Zhibo did not answer immediately. Instead, he glanced at the frosted glass at the door. There was no figure coming through it.

He stretched his head and looked downstairs again. There was no car parked downstairs in the office.

It should be that the boss, this "humanoid old monster" is too shocking, and I am a little nervous...

Qin Zhibo calmed down, walked to the door, and unlocked the door.

"Hello, may I ask you..."

Before he finished speaking, Qin Zhibo was stunned by the person standing at the door.

This is a child who is almost one meter tall. Although he is not tall, he is dressed very fashionably. He is wearing sunglasses and looking up at him.

"Kid, do you have a problem with me?"

Qin Zhibo didn't look down on the other party just because he was a child, but he already had suspicions in his heart.

He was probably looking for lost pets. After all, his ability to find pets was well-known around here, and he was about the same level as Mouri Kogoro in catching cheaters.

The child did not answer immediately, but instead walked past Qin Zhibo, stood next to the sofa in the office, and slowly took off his sunglasses.

"I want you to help me find someone."

Although this is somewhat different from Qin Zhibo's main business of finding pets, it is not impossible to find people with the finding spell. As long as the price is right, anything can be said.

"A person? What kind of person? Do you have a picture of that person?"

Qin Zhibo looked at the little boy named "Sinukawa Kazuhui" and asked in an equal tone.

Kinukawa Kazuki turned his crossbody bag to the front, took out a stack of postcards and handed them to Qin Zhibo.

"I don't have the photo, but I have all the postcards sent by that person. She is a woman signed 'Atsuko'."

"Allow me to refuse."

As soon as Kinukawa and Hui proposed their commission, Qin Zhibo simply refused.

The little boy who was decisively rejected opened his eyes wide and asked.

"Why!?"

Qin Zhibo spread his hands and made a helpless expression, "Without photos, it is difficult to find someone by just relying on postcards; and since the other party sends you a postcard, it means that there is a high probability that this person is not in Tokyo. For me, all costs are high." Very high."

"Forgive me for not being able to help."

But then, Qin Zhibo changed the subject and blocked Kinukawa Kazuhui who was about to open his mouth.

"But I can introduce you to another detective agency. Maybe they will accept your commission..."

Every time I write about the main plot, it is extremely brain-consuming, time-consuming, and involves digging and filling holes.

There may not be many book friends who care about the main plot, but in order to have an ending, I have to write it. It is a typical thankless effort, but I must make the effort.

Just eat two walnut kernels to replenish your brain~
