Conan's grammatical investigator

Chapter 1008 Mihua Town in dire straits

Brooklyn is the most populous district in New York and the largest in area among the five districts in New York.

Because there are blacks and other ethnic minorities in Brooklyn, the crime rate remains high, and various racism and racial discrimination make it the dirtiest, chaotic, and criminal place in New York.

However, New York City in 96 was vigorously improving law and order, especially in Brooklyn, which made the overall living conditions of Brooklyn stable and improving.

In contrast, Tokyo, which is also an international metropolis, is stable and poor, and the crime rate in Mihua Town is soaring.

As for the reason, everyone understands it.

In Brooklyn now, except that the black community is still full of poverty and backwardness, the living standards of other parts of the greater area are basically not much different from those of the developed areas of New York.

Eisuke Hondo currently lives in an ordinary neighborhood in Brooklyn.

……

Following the address given by Patrick, Qin Zhibo came to the address where Hondo Yingyou currently lives.

It is located in a quiet residential area, and every household in the residential area has the same architectural style, and they are all neat two-story buildings.

The small courtyard in front of the building is a lawn soaked in green, with no vegetables and no fences.

It's just that the place where Hondo Eisuke lives looks a bit more down-and-out than the neighbors around him. The lawn has not been taken care of for a long time, and it is covered with weeds.

Qin Zhibo and Koizumi Hongzi walked through the path that was almost flooded with weeds, came to the door of the house, and rang the doorbell.

However, the electric bell that should have sounded did not sound, and it seemed to be broken.

Qin Zhibo thought to himself: The people who lived here were really sloppy. They didn't repair the lawn and didn't change the doorbell when it was broken.

From this, Qin Zhibo can basically judge that there is no male owner in this family.

In the United States, as long as the male owner is not a plaything, he will take the initiative to repair his own lawn, and even enjoy it, forming a style of comparison with each other.

Because mowing the lawn is the prerogative of the male head of the family. The better the mowing is, it means that the male master is well-managed. Even if he does not mow the lawn himself, he will pay someone to mow it.

Correspondingly, if the old Wang next door is mowing the lawn without the consent of the host, then the conflict will be serious.

The doorbell didn't work, so Qin Zhibo turned to knocking on the door again.

Tee, Tee, Tee.

Tee, Tee, Tee.

Pop, pop, pop.

Changed from knocking on the door to smashing on the door, but there was still no response from behind the door.

Koizumi Hongzi: "Aren't you at home?"

"Um……"

Before Qin Zhibo went out, he checked the time of the news broadcast. Today is Saturday, so Hondo Yingyou probably didn't go to school.

The two returned to the path covered by weeds, looked left and right, and Qin Zhibo decided to call Hondo Eisuke.

I didn't call Hondo Eisuke in advance because I wanted to surprise him, but now it seems that it was unnecessary.

But just as Qin Zhibo took out his phone, he suddenly felt a line of sight behind him watching him.

He suddenly turned his head and looked straight at a row of windows on the second floor.

One of the four windows was drawn with thick dark gray curtains, but Qin Zhibo did see it the moment he turned his head.

The edge of the curtain at that window was shaking.

There are people in the house...

"What's wrong?" Koizumi Hongzi asked.

"There are people at home." Qin Zhibo replied.

"is it?"

Under Qin Zhibo's reminder, Koizumi Hongzi closed her eyes and tried to sense it with her sixth sense, and her intuition told her that there was indeed someone inside.

"But why doesn't he open the door?"

Qin Zhibo guessed casually: "Maybe it's our sudden visit, and he thinks we are some suspicious people..."

At this moment, a middle-aged man who was walking his dog passed by on the street and greeted Qin Zhibo.

"Hello?"

"Hello~"

The middle-aged man grabbed his Beagle, stopped and asked, "Are you here to find this family?"

Qin Zhibo looked back at the house behind him, nodded and replied, "Yes, do you know the situation of this family?"

The middle-aged man hesitated for a moment, "I don't know, people here rarely show their faces."

"But people in suits and leather shoes often come to find the person who lives here, and bring a lot of food and daily necessities. Occasionally, they will take the person out and let her sit in their car and go somewhere..."

As he said that, the middle-aged man approached Qin Zhibo pretending to be mysterious, and asked in a low voice: "Excuse me, are you the police? Are you here to investigate this family?"

Qin Zhibo was a little taken aback. He had to say that this middle-aged man was quite accurate in seeing people. Although he was not a policeman at the moment, he was better than a policeman.

When the middle-aged man denied it to the man in front of him, he showed a smug expression, "That's right, I almost never miss people."

"According to my observation, the person living in this house is a prostitute..."

"Secret prostitution?" Qin Zhibo was surprised.

The law and order improvement in Brooklyn has just started, and many cultural dross that were popular in the past have not been completely abandoned, and are even turning from bright to dark.

In the eyes of this middle-aged man, he does not have to go to work every day, and strangers often come to deliver food, and he will stay in that dim room for one or half an hour.

This is not a skin business, so what could it be doing?
Therefore, the middle-aged man suspected that Qin Zhibo, the "policeman", was sent by the top to make an unannounced visit.

"Let me tell you, there was an Asian boy living in that house recently, maybe the big one made money to take care of the small one..."

Suddenly, the middle-aged man's gaze shifted, and he seemed to see something, and immediately stopped talking.

"Well, here he is."

"Officer, you must investigate carefully and restore the cleanliness of this community..."

After speaking, the middle-aged man left with the Beagle.

Qin Zhibo and Koizumi Hongzi looked in the direction indicated by the middle-aged man, and it turned out that Hondo Eisuke had returned from the outside.

At this moment, Qin Zhibo couldn't laugh or cry.

It turns out that you are the little one who was taken care of...

Hondo Eiyu was carrying two big bags, and just happened to collide with the two standing on the path.

"Mr. Qin!"

"Classmate Hongzi!"

Through the opening of the black plastic bag, Qin Zhibo saw some tools inside, such as weeding shears, screwdrivers, labor gloves and the like.

"Why are you here all of a sudden!"

Hondo Eisuke was full of surprise, and excitedly stepped forward to give the two a hug, but was stopped by Qin Zhibo and Koizumi Hongzi at the same time.

"Wait a minute! Put down the tools in your hand first."

Hondo Eiyu looked at the things bought by his left and right hands, so he was embarrassed to put them on the ground quickly, otherwise some unexpected injuries would happen.

"By the way, have you finished what you want to do?" After the hug, Hondo Eisuke asked.

Before parting in New York, Qin Zhibo told him that he and Hongzi Koizumi had other things to do in the United States, but did not tell Eisuke Hondo the details.

"Well..." Qin Zhibo said with a smile about his next plan, "We will take a rest in New York for a while and return to Japan after a while, so I just wanted to see how you are doing here before leaving In this way, I will have a chance to explain to your sister when I go back..."

Eisuke Hondo does not have the contact information of Rena Mizumu. In order to ensure safety, Qin Zhibo is still the only contact person of Rena Mizumu.

Bentang Yingyou heard Qin Zhibo mention his sister, and immediately made a very happy expression, "I have a good life here, the owner of the boarding house has accepted me, and the neighbors around are also very friendly..."

"Friendly? I don't think so..." Koizumi Hongzi said at this time in a neutral way, obviously exposing the rumors that people around here have been talking about this family.

Hearing this, Hondo Eisuke smiled bitterly.

In fact, on the way here, he had already seen what the neighbors walking their dogs were saying to Qin Zhibo and Koizumi Hongzi.

Although he couldn't hear the specific content, he knew it must be bad content.

The reason was that the family I was staying at had a bad reputation nearby.

On the second day after he moved in, when he greeted the neighbors around him, he felt the eyes of criticism from the people around him.

"You must have heard something, but I can assure you that you are definitely a good person living here."

After speaking, Hondo Eisuke went to open the door.

……

In the room, there was a strong smell of air freshener.

The black garbage bags that can be seen everywhere inside, these air fresheners are used to seal these smells.

"Sorry, I'm cleaning the house recently, and the garbage bags will be thrown out later."

Eisuke Hondo has moved in for a few days, and he hasn't cleaned it up completely, which shows how dirty it was before.

Hondo Eisuke put the newly purchased things on the table, and poured water for the two of them skillfully.

The two sat on the first floor for a while, and Hondo Yingyou stood in front of the stairs on the second floor and asked, "Let us take you to meet Miss Nancy, she lives on the second floor."

Qin Zhibo and Koizumi Hongzi glanced at each other, as they verified their conjecture, there was indeed someone in the house.

The three of them came to the second floor, Hondo Eiyu stood in front of them, and knocked on the door.

"Miss Nancy, my friend in Japan would like to visit you."

"Excuse me, is it convenient for you now?"

There was some movement in the room, like the sound of something falling on the ground.

click...

It was the faint sound of the door lock being gently opened, but the door did not open immediately.

After waiting for a while, a female voice came from inside.

"Come in, the door is unlocked."

Qin Zhibo: "..." Of course it's not locked, because you just opened it.

Hondo Eisuke pushed the door open and entered, the room was dimly lit.

As far as the light goes, you can see many thick books, and some notebooks with many pages mixed in, and the ball pens with the nibs not put away are still placed beside them.

On the display shelf next to the table, there are some eye-catching models, all of which are models of spaceships, the most famous of which is the Enterprise in "Star Trek".

And on the sofa at the innermost part of the light, sat a woman in pajamas.

The woman has a pair of blue eyes, messy blond hair oozing from the side of the pajama hat, a typical Nordic appearance.

Seeing this woman, Qin Zhibo was a little surprised.

Because she was younger than expected, and also more beautiful and attractive than expected, no wonder the neighbors in the neighborhood suspected that she was a prostitute.

If it is placed in the future with a well-developed network, the neighbors have reason to suspect that she is an anchor.

Qin Zhibo glanced at the identity information above her head: Nancy, 24 years old, unemployed, social credit 700.

Obviously, this should not be correct information.

The Nancy Patrick mentioned yesterday was just a code name. This person is also a member of the Green Delta, and his identity must be hidden.

"Hi, we are Yingyou's friends, we came to visit unexpectedly, I hope I didn't disturb you."

"My name is Vince Qin, and her name is Koizumi Hongzi."

As Qin Zhibo said, he walked over and held out his hand, wanting to shake hands with Nancy.

Looking at Qin Zhibo's hand, Nan Xi hesitated for a few seconds before reaching out hesitantly.

The moment the two shook hands, Qin Zhibo immediately launched an investigation.

【Investigation√】

Name: Joan Qualls

Gender: Female
Age: 41 years old

Occupation: Special Counsel to the FBI
social credit...

The content of the investigation came to an abrupt end, because Nancy had already withdrawn her hand.

Her skin was very delicate, so delicate that it slipped away when it loosened slightly.

But even so, Qin Zhibo was greatly shocked by the information from these investigations.

41 years old?
Isn't it 24 years old?

Whether it is judged by the naked eye or the information that actively emerges above her head, it shows that her age is 24 years old.

Why did it become 41 years old when it came to the contact investigation?
Such a person, apart from Conan's diminutives, is Dr. Herbert in Arkham Asylum.

What is her situation?
Qin Zhibo calmly put away the surprise in his heart, and sat on the chair brought by Bentang Yingyou.

"Are you the famous detective that this church often mentions?" Nancy asked.

"I used to do psychological profiling in the FBI, and it was my turn to appear when even the FBI agents couldn't solve the case."

There is something in Nancy's words, implying that "her psychological profiling is more advanced than ordinary case investigation."

Qin Zhibo was not annoyed by this, and responded with a smile: "You are right, but the two are not essentially the same way to solve a case."

"The detective's job is mainly to find evidence, lock the tactics, and analyze the murderer's motives from the perspective of absolute rationality."

"Although psychological profiling also has scientific basis, it often cannot play a decisive role. It is only a method to assist detectives in handling cases, so the priority must be behind detective work."

"Besides, judging from the homicide cases I dealt with in Japan, inferring the murderer based on the murderer's psychology and motives alone often leads to wrong answers."

"Can you imagine a professor being killed by his students just because he reminded them not to pretend to be themselves, but to be more confident in themselves?"

"Or can you think of a victim who would invite three or more enemies with murderous motives at the same time to attend his own banquet? It turned out that the one who seemed to have the least motive on the surface was the murderer..."

"Can you imagine that almost all cases take place in a confined space, and the suspects are locked on a limited number of three people?"

"Or can you imagine someone who anyone could tell was the killer, but couldn't get the police to arrest him because there's no direct evidence?"

"These are all the things I encountered in the actual case solving. If I use psychological profiling in these cases, I will only get a mess. In the end, the suspect will be released because no direct evidence can be found."

After listening to Qin Zhibo's words, Nancy was stunned.

She couldn't imagine what the man in front of her had experienced in Japan these years.

Am I in Brooklyn, or are you in Brooklyn!

　Thanks to the pianist of fate for the reward!
