The Grammatical Investigator in Conan

For the next ten minutes, Hondo Eyou carried the backpacks of a total of four people.

At such a young age, he had to bear a weight that was not his.

When a few people arrived at the foot of the mountain, ten minutes had just passed and they started a new round of guessing.

This time, Qin Zhibo, who did not bring a backpack, also joined several people.

"rock-paper-scissors!"

"Rock, scissors..."

After a few rounds, Hondo Yingyou once again bore all the weight alone.

In fact, this guessing game is enough to take care of him. Although the guessing game is played by four people, the probability seems to be 1/5.

But if Conan loses the guessing game and the primary school student can't carry everyone's bags, Mao Lilan will definitely help.

In other words, Mao Lilan actually bears the probability of 2/5 alone.

But Mao Lilan's luck was so good that it had already defeated the odds on paper.

…

As he walked, he got closer and closer to the villa where the weird bandage incident occurred, and the memories of his death gradually revived in Qin Zhibo's mind.

The last time I went to the Suzuki family villa, I didn't receive a formal invitation, but to do a survival mission - a night in the cemetery.

The location of this survival mission is in a cemetery not far from the Suzuki family villa.

Qin Zhibo was investigating the forest near the villa and accidentally rescued Mao Lilan who was attacked by a bandage monster.

Later, under the guidance of the light from the investigation point, the head hidden under the murderer's belly was discovered, and the murderer was uncovered.

However, the murderer escaped at that time. Qin Zhibo was worried that the mission location was nearby, so he did not dare to chase him out...

"come on!"

"If you're tired, can't you just wait until you get to my Suzuki family's villa and have a good rest?"

As expected of a capitalist's daughter, Suzuki Sonoko walked in front with a smile, drawing pie for the panting Hondo Eiyu.

When Mao Lilan next to him heard this, his expression immediately changed.

"Your villa?"

"Sonoko, didn't you say you were going to your sister's friend's cabin?"

"Huh?" Sonoko tapped her chin with her fingertips, pretending to be confused, "Did I say that?"

Yuanzi's attitude made Mao Lilan even more convinced of her guess.

The horned girl was so frightened that she nervously clasped her hands together in front of her chest and spoke with a trembling tone.

"What you're talking about...could it be the villa where the murder of that bandage weirdo happened before, right?"

Yuanzi, who knew that he was in the wrong, could not face his innocent friend. He could only glance aside and said with a guilty conscience: "It seems that something like this has happened before..."

"Ha ha……"

Two sinister laughs made Mao Lilan even more frightened, "I hate it! I'm going back!"

"Impossible, Xiaolan, you are a road addict, you will definitely get lost..."

Yuanzi pinched his waist with one hand and waved his hand, as if he was convinced of Mao Lilan.

In fact, the Suzuki Consortium didn't really lack this villa. Sonoko also had other difficulties, so she had to devise a plan to "frame" her friend.

Ever since the bandage monster incident, Sonoko's elder sister Suzuki Ayako has suffered from severe mental illness. She has nightmares all night long, always dreaming that the bandage monster is chasing her in the villa.

There was also the murdered Chikako Ikeda, holding her head in her hands and asking why this class reunion was held.

Even though the strength of the Suzuki Consortium allowed Suzuki Ayako to receive the best treatment, it was to no avail.

Suzuki Ayako, who is constantly tortured by nightmares, is getting worse mentally and physically, causing the originally planned engagement to be suspended.

However, this fiancée himself was involved in the case of murdering his biological father on his birthday, and was unable to escape for a while. It can be regarded as a typical fate.

After experiencing several failed treatments, the doctor suggested that there is one last way to help Suzuki Ayako overcome her inner demons, which is to restore the scene of the class reunion that day.

The two classmates who are still alive have already agreed to help with the help of the Suzuki family.

As for Chikako Ikeda, the Suzuki family found a third-rate actress who looked very similar after putting on makeup.

There is also the bandage weirdo, played by a member of the Suzuki family. Anyway, no one would recognize him in that costume.

The only ones left are Mao Lilan and Conan, and Yuanzi deceived them in this way.

In fact, if he told the truth directly, Mao Lilan would agree to help with his warm-heartedness.

It's just that Yuanzi didn't want the timid Mao Lilan to be scared first and affect the treatment effect at that time, so she wanted to explain it later.

In the whole plan, Qin Zhibo was not included because Qin Zhibo was not among the invitees to the last class reunion.

But seeing Mao Lilan calling Qin Zhibo, Yuanzi had a better plan in mind.

…

"Well, the incident you mentioned should have been resolved, right?"

Hondo Eyou, who followed from behind, asked driven by curiosity.

Yuanzi gave a thumbs up, "Of course! It was only thanks to Mr. Qin's reasoning that the murderer was found~"

"It's a pity that the murderer has not been caught until now..."

"Huh?" Bentang Yingyou was stunned for a moment.

"It's nothing~" Yuanzi smiled and waved his hand, "Let's wait until we get to the villa..."

Qin Zhibo looked at Yuanzi's reaction and knew that it was the true identity of the bandage monster, and Takahashi Ryoichi had not been caught yet.

Under the pressure of the Suzuki Consortium, the police did not give up the search for Takahashi Ryoichi for a long time.

However, this geographical location is quite special. It is located at the junction of Tokyo and Gunma. The search work requires the police from both places to jointly carry out the search.

But even so, Takahashi Ryoichi's whereabouts are still unknown, and wanted warrants are hung at the police stations in Tokyo and Gunma.

But Qin Zhibo guessed that he should have been captured by the "kobold" ghoul.

As for where to catch or eat directly, Qin Zhibo didn't know.

Qin Zhibo put aside his thoughts and continued to move forward with the team.

Not long after, several people came to a familiar cliff and saw the villa where the murder had occurred across the cliff.

But the suspension bridge leading there had been destroyed, and loose ropes and planks hung from the opposite cliff.

"ah!"

Suzuki Sonoko was shocked, "No way! Why is the bridge like this?"

Although the suspension bridge was cut off by the bandage monster last time, it was repaired soon after.

But now the suspension bridge is broken again.

Mao Lilan was a little panicked and said in surprise: "Could someone have some bad intentions again?"

Qin Zhibo glanced at the edge of the cliff and found that the wooden piles that tied this section of the bridge together with the ground were missing.

"It must have been a rainy day that caused the ground beneath the wooden pilings holding the bridge to collapse."

With Qin Zhibo's finger, Yuanzi and Mao Lilan were somewhat comforted.

"This is bad. When my sister and the others come over and find there is no way, they will be in trouble..."

Yuanzi is in a bit of trouble. Now he has to call in advance to inform another group of people and ask them to take a detour up the mountain.

At this time, Bentang Yingyou suggested that we could contact him by mobile phone, but this young idea was immediately rejected by Yuanzi.

"It's a pity that there is no mobile phone signal here."

When Conan heard this, his eyes looked around.

It didn't matter. He actually discovered a corner of a white villa, standing like a welcoming pine in the forest high to the east.

"Shall we go to the villa over there and borrow a phone?"

"Maybe there will be someone there?"

Conan's casual gesture gave everyone hope.

But Yuanzi narrowed his eyes and had no hope for that place. Because the Suzuki family heard from the police search report that no one was living in the villas nearby.

But Qin Zhibo stroked Conan's head affectionately and said with a smile: "Since Conan said it might be possible, then it must be."

"Let's go take a look..."

…

After Conan decided on the target, everyone set off towards the higher villa.

After trekking for less than half an hour, we finally stood in front of the villa.

The style of this villa is the same as that of the Suzuki family, which is a Western-style bungalow, but it is more grand and has one more floor than the Suzuki family, with three floors.

Building a three-story villa on the top of a mountain like this shows that the financial resources of the owner are not bad.

But it is still several levels different from Karasuma Renya's Golden Annex and Isekawa Gozo's Angel Mansion, and it is not even a product of the same world.

Mao Lilan stepped forward and knocked on the door twice, but no one in the villa responded.

"It seems like no one is here..."

As soon as he finished speaking, a car drove up on the road behind and stopped in front of a few people as if arranged in a script.

There were three people sitting in the car. The woman with a wavy ponytail in the driver's seat was wearing pink clothes. There were a man wearing glasses and a man with a crew cut in the passenger seat and the back seat respectively.

Qin Zhibo glanced over the heads of several people and found that they were all musicians by profession.

"What's wrong with you guys?"

Under the ponytail girl's inquiry, Mao Lilan expressed her idea of ​​borrowing a landline phone.

The pony-tailed woman and the other two people in the car did not refuse, parked the car, took out the keys and opened the door of the villa.

Yuanzi went in first to make a call, while the others were waiting at the entrance.

While waiting, the two sides chatted.

Qin Zhibo told them that they originally wanted to go to the villa below, but the bridge was broken, so they had to make a phone call to inform the people behind.

"By the way, if I guess correctly, there should be more than three of you, right?"

After finally encountering a suspected traditional case, Qin Zhibo started playing "Ke Xue".

When the pony-tailed girl and her two companions heard this, their faces were shocked, "How do you know? Have you already met Renzi?"

"Lunzi?"

The man with medium hair and glasses standing behind explained: "Actually, we are in a band. We just went down the mountain to buy things, but there is still one person staying in the villa."

The girl with wavy ponytail continued: "Renzi should be creating now. She was very focused when she started creating, so she didn't hear your knock on the door..."

Upon hearing this, Qin Zhibo could probably confirm who the deceased was.

As we all know, in Conan's four-person relationship, the person who is the least gregarious is most likely to become one of the "four choices".

But it was still early, and Qin Zhibo was not in a hurry to confirm the body.

…

When Yuanzi came back from the phone call, he told a few people that someone would pick them up later.

"Very good……"

Mao Lilan breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that she didn't have to go to the Suzuki Villa anymore.

But in fact Sonoko asked someone to pick them up and go to Suzuki Villa in another direction.

After all, this treatment plan has been prepared for a long time and cannot be abandoned halfway.

The three members of the band heard that they would have to wait for a while, so they allowed a few people to wait here, and the situation suddenly opened up.

"But this villa is really beautiful!"

Our hall Yingyou looked around and praised.

Hearing this, the man with glasses just smiled faintly, "Let's say this to the rich people who built this place... After all, we are just ordinary people who took the opportunity to buy this place cheaply."

"Um?"

Amid everyone's doubts, the man with glasses introduced the origin of the house.

It turns out that this place belongs to a pair of super-rich brothers, and they built it as a summer resort.

But one rainy day, the brother suddenly said that an unknown monster flew in from the window of the villa.

In order to stop the monster, he frantically nailed the window completely shut.

But this alone was not enough. He felt that monsters had already inhabited the villa, so he redecorated it all.

But in the second year after the renovation was completed, the brother's wife was taking care of the garden in the backyard when she saw the nailed window open, and something was staring at her inside.

A few days later, the wife hanged herself in her room.

The elder brother followed closely and committed suicide by jumping off the third floor.

In this way, the remaining brother and his wife did not want to stay here anymore, so they had no choice but to sell the villa at a super low price.

The people who took over were the four members of the band.

"How about it? Don't you think this place makes for great lyrics?"

The three of them seemed to have found a big deal, and they introduced it to several people with great interest.

"Yes, congratulations..." The timid Mao Lilan could only force a smile.

Qin Zhibo had some thoughts about this.

After thinking for a moment, he suggested.

"Why don't we go take a look at that nailed-down window?"

…

On the second floor, in a room like a library, everyone saw the window.

Sure enough, as the band members said, the inner frame of the entire window was nailed shut with crude rivets.

Outside the window is a completely blocked wooden fence window, making the entire window airtight.

Bentang Yingyou tried to pull the window frame, but he couldn't pull it open.

"How is it? Is it strong?"

The crew-cut man in a vest smiled and said, "I originally planned to renovate this place, but when I thought about it, I felt it was a pity, so I stayed."

Conan rolled his eyes, what's so regrettable about this?

Qin Zhibo looked at the window and didn't find anything strange.

But if the rumors are true, then monsters really have appeared here.

Moreover, this place is not too far from the cemetery where ghouls haunt. Could it be ghouls coming to look for food?

"Excuse me, did the rumors mention what kind of monster that brother saw?"

Qin Zhibo asked suddenly, which stunned several people.

Only Conan looked away for a month and a half. He knew that Qin Zhibo was a detective but loved mysticism.

Of course, it is not ruled out that this monster’s information may contain clues to some case.

"As for monsters, I heard it seems like..."

Before the crew-cut man finished speaking, a person suddenly broke in outside the door.

"Hey! I'm composing music!"

"Can't you just be quiet?"

Qin Zhibo was a little surprised when he saw the name "Bao Bo Lunzi" floating above the head of the short-haired woman outside the door.

Yo! You are still alive...
