The Grammatical Investigator in Conan

While Minase Yangmeng was floating in the sky, Qin Zhibo let the stand-in user enter the body of the bait puppet and pressed the stone bricks on the wall.

The stone bricks sank into the wall, and the sound of huge mechanical devices rumbled behind the wall.

With this sound, the stone wall in the middle of the wall fell downwards, opening a passage into the interior of the angel's base.

Qin Zhibo did not step in first, but let "Qin Jibo" go in first to see if there were any traps.

But the inside is very flat, without any furnishings, and the area that can be seen is ordinary stone ground.

Just when Qin Zhibo was about to walk in to find out, the minute hand on the wall suddenly jumped to the next small mark.

As 12:01 arrives, the clock and minute hands stagger again, and the stone wall lowers to the ground and slowly rises.

Oops!

Qin Zhibo moved his steps and stepped back quickly to prevent himself from being crushed into mincemeat by the rising stone wall.

But "Qin Jibo" who had already walked in had no time to exit. With a bang, he was locked behind the stone wall.

At this time, Minase Harumu also happened to float back, and he was satisfied with his eyesight.

"This place is so beautiful! It would be great if I could live here..."

"By the way, uncle, did you ask me to come out just to see the scenery?"

Qin Zhibo quickly told Minase Youmeng that his "brother" had fallen inside.

Minase Youmeng narrowed his eyes and smiled, "What's so difficult about this?"

She circled up and down in the air, made a charging gesture, and then rushed straight into the wall.

In fact, even if she doesn't charge up or sprint, she can still pass through walls. She is "Apiao" after all, but she just wants to put up a good-looking POSS.

Qin Zhibo waited outside for a while, and Minase Yangmeng floated out of the stone wall again.

One of her "superpowers" is night vision, which allows her to see even if there is no light source inside.

"It's so boring here. There is nothing but a glass bottle on the ground. There is a small black stone in the glass bottle..."

The speaker was unintentional, but the listener Qin Zhibo was interested and quickly asked: "What does that stone look like?"

"Yes... it seems to be triangular, a bit long..." Minase Youmeng suddenly thought, "Yes! It looks like the stone you asked me to take out from the locker yesterday!"

Pieces of panest!

Qin Zhibo's first reaction was this.

I didn't expect that there was actually a Panest fragment in this place, and I was so lucky that I found it right away.

Didn't the organization boss lie?

Qin Zhibo didn't dare to make a conclusion, so he had to get the fragments first.

But now the stone wall of the Angel Base has been completely closed, and the investigation points on the wall have also appeared, indicating that the wall has been connected to high-voltage electricity again.

If you want to go inside again, you have to wait until at least this time tomorrow, 12:00 noon.

Or maybe 12:00 midnight can also turn off the high-voltage electricity and open the stone wall. Qin Zhibo is not sure yet about the specific mechanism of this mechanism.

In short, it will take a while.

Next to him, Minase Youmeng saw that Qin Zhibo wanted to get the stone, so he floated into the base again and possessed the bait puppet.

I tried it, but the glass bottle was stuck to the ground and couldn't be picked up.

Faced with this situation, she could only pull out the cork of the glass bottle and take out the black stone inside.

But at this time, some mechanism on the ground seemed to be triggered, and there was a mechanical rumble.

Then, the ground suddenly opened from the middle to both sides, revealing the dark abyss below.

"ah--!"

Minase Youmeng was so frightened that she screamed, but in fact it was just the decoy doll that fell by itself. Since she had no gravity, she was still floating in the same place.

She quickly floated down to check the situation, then floated out to tell Qin Zhibo.

"Is there room down there? How big is it?"

"It's huge! It's like an underground maze!"

Qin Zhibo thought for a moment, the Twilight Annex also has an underground space. Maybe this Isekawa Gozo really referenced Karasuma Renya's Twilight Annex in many places.

But the underground of Karasuma Renye's annex is actually a place used by the Xagai Zerg tribe to hold crazy sacrifices. It is the temple of the Xia Gai Zerg tribe embedded in the soil.

"Then can you control the puppet to come out?"

"It should be okay, I'll give it a try..."

Minase Harumu flew underground again and began to conquer the maze.

Qin Zhibo on the ground was not worried about Minase Harumen's ability at all. After all, she had the ability to walk through walls and it was easier to find the way.

The reason why Minase Youmeng was asked to come out with the doll was because Qin Zhibo wanted to recover the bait doll and its fragments.

The bait puppet could only be placed naturally until Qin Zhibo himself could not reach it until it died.

Seeing Minase Yangmeng fly away, Qin Zhibo found a hiding place in the nearby grass and hid.

…

Half an hour later, Minase Yomu's figure faintly appeared in the sky.

Qin Zhibo stood up from his hiding place in the grass to greet him, and Minase Yangmeng immediately lowered his height.

"Huh - I'm scared to death~"

"How's it going? Have you found the ground exit?"

Minase Youmeng nodded, "The exit has been found, but there is a human corpse in the underground passage!"

"There is someone's head in a jar in the house, it's so scary..."

Minase Youmeng gestured in the air, and finally waved his hands randomly and said hello.

"I don't even know how to describe it! Uncle, please come over and take a look!"

Qin Zhibo realized that the situation was a little unusual, and his expression became serious, and he quickly followed Minase Yomeng.

After passing several stairs and gardens, Qin Zhibo followed Minase Yomeng to the annex guarded by the Angel of the East.

Walking around to a window at the back of the annex, "Qin Jibo" stood obediently facing the glass window like a three-dimensional mobile Gundam.

Minase Yomeng penetrated the glass, controlled "Qin Jibo" to open the window, and let Qin Zhibo in.

After recovering the decoy doll, Qin Zhibo observed the surrounding situation.

This is a room similar to a living room, with seats and sofas, and a sitting golden bull ornament placed above the fireplace.

Considering the wealth owned by the owner, it is possible that the cow was pure gold.

At this time, Minase Youmeng pointed to the darkness in the fireplace, "That's where I walked out..."

"But look at this, what is this!"

Qin Zhibo looked in the other direction pointed by Minase Yangmeng and found something on the solid wood cabinet.

It was a metal cylinder about 30 centimeters high and close to 30 centimeters in diameter. There were two strange-looking machines placed next to it. They were connected by triangular and round slots and cables.

Although this set of machines is very understandable to humans, Qin Zhibo is still impressed by them.

This is the brain container that Mr. Clock showed off!

And what’s even weirder is that a pink brain is soaked in the green solution of the brain storage tube!

Judging from the size of the brain, there is reason to believe it is a human brain.

Mi-GO is here!

Qin Zhibo's brain reacted immediately and subconsciously looked around.

However, everything around him was quiet. Except for the instruments placed on the cabinet, it was just an ordinary room.

Qin Zhibo walked carefully to the cabinet and carefully observed the set of instruments.

When Mr. Clock was preparing to take out Bellmod's brain, Qin Zhibo briefly understood the principles of this machine.

The brain storage tube is a life-support device. The green solution inside can be used as a nutrient solution to protect the brain inside from death.

The other two mechanical devices are used in conjunction with the storage tube. As long as the corresponding shaped slots are connected together with cables, 3 functions can be achieved respectively, for a total of 6 functions.

The set on the cabinet was obviously all connected and even used.

Qin Zhibo subconsciously stretched out his hand and twisted the knob of one of the machines. The structure on the machine, similar to vacuum tubes and speakers, made a "whirring" noise.

He pressed a button on another machine, and a human face was projected from the two lenses on the top of the machine.

"ah!"

Minase Youmeng screamed, but Qin Zhibo was mentally prepared.

Just seeing this device in action with my own eyes still felt weird and chaotic.

The face projected in the lens is similar to a 3D projection, but it is not very beautiful. It is black and white with a little snowflakes. The structure is completely flat and has no three-dimensional effect. It may be more like a 2D animation projection, but it does not need a curtain.

"Hello, do you need any help?"

Another machine with a speaker structure emits a metallic reverb with a lifeless tone, which is very consistent with the sound characteristics of the machine.

"Oh my God! Did the machine talk?"

Minase Yomeng was so frightened that she screamed, while Qin Zhibo remained calm.

He asked tentatively: "Are you...the owner of this brain?"

The face in the lens always maintains a stiff smile, or a fake smile, "Yes."

Qin Zhibo looked at this face carefully. If it was not a unified virtual image, then this face should be what the brain owner looked like "before he was alive".

He has naturally curly hair, is between 25 and 30 years old, handsome and handsome.

"Yang Meng, you go outside and keep an eye on me while I have a private conversation with this gentleman..."

In order to prevent the owner of this machine from coming back, Qin Zhibo sent Minase Youmeng out to keep an eye on him. Anyway, her staying here would not be conducive to her communication with the brain.

Qin Zhibo asked after Minase Yangmeng floated out of the door.

"Can you see me?"

"Theoretically yes, as long as I activate a certain function of one of the devices, I can see you through the electronic vibrator."

The voice produced by the brain is neither happy nor angry, and has no emotion at all, just like Mr. Clock when he is not pretending to be a human.

Mr. Clock once wanted to contain Belmod's brain and inquire about the whereabouts of the Panest fragment.

This shows that once MI-GO accommodates human brains, there will be a way to make large brains exist in the form of a "machine" that can use the knowledge in the brain at any time through question and answer.

In other words, the brain in front of you is now in a state of "telling everything you know".

"May I have your name?"

"The Righteous Man in the Pines."

"Why did you appear in the Angel's Pavilion?"

"I am the steward of the Angel House and the secretary of Mr. Gozo Isekawa... Mr. Isekawa entrusted his will to me before his death. I will stay here until the will is completed."

Such a young secretary?

Qin Zhibo was a little confused, but he also knew that "Brain" would not lie.

Qin Zhibo asked again: "What is the content of the will?"

The brain replied calmly: "It's a puzzle. The master left a puzzle. He asked all descendants who have the right to inherit property to come and decipher it in order of inheritance. The person who solves the puzzle will get all the master's property."

Puzzle?

Just as Qin Zhibo was about to ask what the puzzle was, Minase Yomeng suddenly flew back through the wall.

"somebody is coming!"

After receiving the report, Qin Zhibo quickly turned off the machine, returned all the buttons of the machine to their original positions, turned around and got into the fireplace passage without saying a word.

Considering that the opponent might be Mi-GO, and the Mi-Go family has telepathy, there is no way to hide anyone nearby, and being invisible is useless, Qin Zhibo simply ran towards the inside of the passage.

But after running for a while, he saw something on the ground. It was so dark that it was almost hard to see clearly, but there was a bright light on it, which reminded Qin Zhibo that there was something there.

"This is the corpse I'm talking about!" Minase Yomu, who has night vision ability, reminded him at the right time.

Qin Zhibo stopped and took out his nuclear lighter to observe carefully.

It was a skeletal corpse, with its head facing the exit of the passage fireplace.

【Survey√】

[The corpse is less than 70% complete and cannot be investigated]

The investigation failed, possibly because the body was highly skeletal.

However, according to Qin Zhibo's observation, although the corpse has completely turned into bones, the clothes wrapped around it do not look very shabby, and it does not look like it has been there for at least a few years.

Moreover, the corpse did not leave any hair. Normal corpse decay would not completely eliminate the hair.

When the nuclear lighter came closer, Qin Zhibo saw that the corpse's skull was completely divided into two halves.

This is not a natural crack, but an artificial incision. The incision is quite smooth and there is no sense of frustration at all.

"This corpse..."

Qin Zhibo murmured, guessing in his mind that the identity of this corpse was probably the "brain" just now, Yoshito Matsuzaka.

Judging from the incision on the skull, the precision of human surgical operations cannot reach such a smooth incision, it is just like a plastic model.

"Yang Meng, do you see clearly what the person who came just now looks like?" Qin Zhibo stood up and asked.

Minase Yomeng shook his head, "I came back as soon as I heard the sound, but I didn't see the face..."

"Then go up and see who that person is."

Qin Zhibo sent Minase Yangmeng away again to collect information, while he studied the corpse underground.

After a while, Minase Yomu floated back and shouted.

"I see clearly!"

"That person turned out to be the 'person' released from the machine just now!"

Minase Yomeng's expression was not quite accurate, but Qin Zhibo understood it.

The person above is the "righteous man in the pine".

But considering that the real Yoshito Matsunaka now only has one brain left, the one above should be Mi-GO, disguised as Yoshito Matsunaka.

"Is that 'person' still up there now?"

"No, he put all those machines and brains into boxes and drove away..."

Um?

Qin Zhibo was a little puzzled. This guy not only knew racial skills such as surgery and pretending to be human, but he also had human skills such as driving.

I'm afraid it's just MI-GO with a high rank...

Could it be it?
