Conan's grammatical investigator

After hearing the knock on the door on the first floor, Nancy saw the visitor through the window and guessed Qin Zhibo's identity.

Although Patrick said that Vince Qin had gained the trust of Green Delta and would continue to perform unfinished tasks with Ethan's daughter.

But in her point of view, she doesn't fully trust Green Delta, and thinks that the so-called organization is nothing more than a pile of disposable chess pieces gathered by high-level officials.

Because of this, she learned about Qin Zhibo's basic information through her own information channels and some descriptions from Hondo Yingyou.

Vince Chin, a former New York City FBI senior agent, left his job four years ago and went to Japan to open a private detective firm.

In her opinion, Japan has a strict gun ban and is recognized as one of the countries with the lowest crime rate in the world, making it particularly livable.

To open a detective agency in that kind of place is at best to catch an affair, find a lost pet, and so on.

Therefore, Nancy scoffed at the word "famous detective" that Hondo Eisuke had been "bragging" these days.

Can you become a famous detective by catching an affair and finding a pet?
She has only recognized one "famous detective" from Japan so far, but unfortunately that one is not really a detective, and his job is a best-selling novel writer.

In contrast, Brooklyn, where gangsters and criminals are rampant, is the most suitable soil for incubating famous detectives.

And Nancy herself, as a special advisor to the FBI and Green Delta, used extraordinary means to solve many unimaginable cases.

But what Qin Zhibo said raised her cognition to a whole new level.

……

"To sum up, the crime rate in Mihua Town in Tokyo is currently high, and there is even a vague tendency to spread to surrounding towns. Therefore, it is very necessary to develop a detective career."

"Have you heard of Michael Jackson's "Smooth criminal"? Sometimes it's not that the Japanese police are incompetent, but that there are too many master criminals in Japan!"

"Demolition genius, plastic surgery expert, disguise expert, acting criminal, secret room enthusiast, extreme sports expert, structural design master, conspiracy planning master, time management master, shocking thief..."

"From 80-year-olds to 17-year-olds, as long as you can think of it, here you can cover almost all ages, all types of jobs, and all stages of criminal groups, and even pass it on from generation to generation, with endless firewood!"

"Unlike yours, as long as they see a dark-skinned person on the street, the police can subjectively judge that the other party has criminal intent. Japanese criminals don't have the word 'prisoner' written on their heads, but quite a few have 'criminal' written on their heads." Victim of the word 'death'..."

"Also, you have a lot of guns here, and we have a lot of cyanide!"

"You need at least a gun license to buy a gun here, and report it to the police station first, but how do you report cyanide?"

"No matter how small a gun is, it is a tangible thing. It is not easy to destroy, and the gun that fired the bullet and the person who fired it can be found by identifying ballistic traces and gunpowder smoke reaction."

"On the other hand, only 50 mg of cyanide can cause death. It is colorless and phaseless. It kills people without shadow or form. When it enters the mouth, it seals the throat. In the end, only the taste of almonds is left in the mouth."

"Although Japan's gun ban is strict, it does not mean that guns and bombs are completely unavailable. The key is that the Japanese police have not thoroughly investigated the source of these guns!"

"There are also elementary school students who are almost always on rest days wandering around..."

"Oh~ it's terrible..."

Facing Qin Zhibo's confession, Nancy, who was sitting on the sofa, was greatly shocked, and the disbelief in her eyes was undisguised.

She always thought that Japan was a livable country, and if she could get away from the organization, it would be a good choice to live in seclusion in Japan.

But after hearing Qin Zhibo's testimony, Nan Xi fell into deep thinking.

Why is this different from what she has always heard?

There seems to be a place in dire straits than the black community in Brooklyn?
In other words, the black community in Brooklyn mainly plays with guns, so it is "hot".

Tokyo Mihua Town mainly plays with cyanide, which should be "deep water".

Don't say that neither of the two is bad.

Murder, arson, robbery, kidnapping, blasting...

Choose one from three, proof questions, multiple choice questions, trolley problems...

Revenge from generation to generation, classmate, colleague, friend, friend, passerby, no revenge...

There is a saying: If you have a grudge on the Mihua stage, come here!
If there is no hatred...it doesn't matter, you will have it when you come.

Nancy was reassessing the question of whether Japan is livable in her head, and Koizumi Hongzi behind Qin Zhibo's description also looked unbelievable.

As a witch, she usually focuses on studying magic, and rarely pays attention to current affairs news.

Except for news related to Kaitou Kidd.

But in her feeling, the living conditions in Jianggutian Town don't seem to be too bad. Except for frequent thieves, why is Mihua Town, which is an hour's drive away, so exaggerated?
Is this a sign of being lowered?

As for Hondo Yingyou, his English is not very good, and he didn't quite understand what Qin Zhibo, who was communicating at a normal speed, was saying, so he could only guess wildly in his heart with a confused face.

Are you saying that with the joint efforts of their detectives and police, the crime situation in Tokyo is getting better and better?

……

Qin Zhibo recounted the situation he had encountered in the past two months, and finally felt much happier in his heart.

Sometimes, walking in the center of a crime scene for a long time, staring into the abyss, can cause some pressure to build up in your heart.

But unlike Qin Zhibo, Conan has been fascinated by cases and murders since he was a child, and the long-term influence of the family atmosphere has formed a habit for him. He insists on imagining a criminal plan even though he has not committed a crime.

In this regard, Conan is the real hero.

And Nancy has completely changed the situation in Japan, and she couldn't help muttering: "I didn't expect... Japan would be so dangerous..."

Qin Zhibo then added: "It's not entirely a bad thing, at least the housing prices over there are very cheap..."

"But I'm talking about those murderous houses. On the contrary, houses where no murders have occurred at all will be more precious, and it will test financial resources."

Nancy: "..."

After talking about the current situation in Japan, Nancy didn't dare to underestimate Qin Zhibo.

Qin Zhibo's behavior of going to Japan to open a private detective agency was, to put it mildly, a matter of going where there is business and where there is good business.

To put it more broadly, it is the international humanitarian rescue upholding the spirit of fearlessness!
In Brooklyn, which is currently cracking down on crime, if any sheriff's attack method is too thunderous, he will be retaliated and plotted against by local gangsters.

And as a detective in Japan, you still have to reach the level of a "famous detective", so the retaliation you receive must be indispensable.

It is already a skill for Qin Zhibo to sit here alive.

……

After Nancy understood what Qin Zhibo had experienced in Japan these years, the two of them moved on to the next topic.

"Miss Nancy, Patrick said that you know something about ghouls. Could you please reveal some of it?"

Now that the conversation between the two sides has reached this level, Qin Zhibo doesn't mind asking about some ghouls.

Coincidentally, he also wanted to know the difference between the ghouls in New York and the ghouls in Tokyo.

Nancy was stunned for a moment, glanced at Eisuke Hondo, and then transferred the realization to Hongzi Koizumi.

Qin Zhibo immediately understood, and asked, "Yingyou, don't you still want to learn English well? We still have something to talk about, so you should study first..."

Although Eisuke Hondo's father and older sister are both Americans, they usually speak Japanese in their daily life, and their English skills are at the normal level of Japanese high school students.

When talking downstairs just now, he said that he is trying to improve his English recently, so that he can communicate normally with the people around him as soon as possible.

Hondo Eisuke listened, nodded obediently, and left.

As for Koizumi Hongzi, Qin Zhibo explained: "She doesn't speak English well, so don't worry about her."

Nancy glanced at Hongzi Koizumi, she was indeed of Asian descent, plus she was very young, so it was normal for her to not learn English well.

Koizumi Hongzi was angry when Qin Zhibo said that she could not speak English, but in order not to expose her identity as a witch, she clenched her hands slightly and had no choice but to endure it.

After excluding the idlers, Nancy finally spoke.

"Since you can ask, you have already seen what a ghoul looks like?"

"Yeah." Qin Zhibo nodded, noncommittal.

Nancy said: "Then let me tell you, I am actually a ghoul..."

As soon as these words came out, it was Qin Zhibo's turn to show a shocked expression.

Ghouls, how can they be so beautiful?
He has seen the appearance of ghouls before, dog-headed human body, gray rubber-like skin, ugly, ugly, ugly, shabby... they are all of them.

Although this is beauty and ugliness judged by human aesthetics, Nancy's appearance is completely normal, and even a little beautiful among ordinary people.

And Koizumi Hongzi behind was surprised, and immediately restrained his expression, pretending that he didn't understand.

Nancy didn't notice the change in Koizumi Hongko's expression, and continued: "I originally worked for the FBI in New Orleans, and later passed the recruitment of Green Delta and became a member of N-cell."

"In 92, that is, four years ago...my college classmates invited me to a party. At that time, he had been declared missing for 3 years. This time he suddenly appeared not only calling himself 'Teddy', but also becoming more Young and claiming to be a new life form."

"At that time, I didn't know that the 'new life form' he mentioned was actually a ghoul."

"He explained to me that now he can change his gender and shape freely, even himself, from a young tall man to a plump woman in front of my eyes."

"He said he had a crush on me since college and wanted me to accept him, but I was so frightened at that time that I rejected him without thinking twice."

"After he was rejected by me, he asked me to read a book before deciding whether to leave."

"This is the worst decision I've ever made in my life, just to open that book..."

As she said that, Nancy's arm supporting the sofa began to tremble slightly. It seems that what happened at that time had a big blow to her.

"It's a book with a weird human skin as the cover. It tells a fantasy world. Countless creatures that used to be human gather in the darkness, feasting on the bodies of the dead, and wantonly worshiping weird gods..."

"By the time I recovered from the continual waking and coma, I had read the entire book."

"In the first five days after I finished reading that book, I endured hunger with all my strength... The hunger that was so intense that it wanted to eat people was like a burning flame in my body, and I could only endure it in pain."

"Until the sixth day, I was stimulated by hunger and passed out. When I woke up, I was lying on the corpse in the morgue and eating the corpse!"

"I couldn't believe the changes in my body. I was so scared that I ran away. In the end, I could only find my superiors and turn to Green Delta for help."

"Unexpectedly, Delta Green didn't shoot and kill me whose body had mutated, but decided to help me conceal my identity."

"They tampered with the records in the system and replaced me with the body of a prostitute who died of an overdose. The past me just disappeared..."

The process of Nancy becoming a ghoul is somewhat unexpected, but it is reasonable.

The same as Matsumoto Ryohei, there must be a beginning, or an opportunity, to transform a person into a ghoul.

The opportunity for Ryohei Matsumoto was lost in the sea of ​​trees in Aokigahara, and he had to eat the corpse of a human suicide in a state of extreme hunger.

Nancy's opportunity came from a book, and she changed after reading it.

Qin Zhibo can be sure that this should be a strange mythological book that can inspire investigation points, and the content is more exciting than the "Corpse Eating Canon" that he has investigated before.

But what makes Qin Zhibo puzzled is why Nancy can maintain her human appearance and live in human society?
There was no trace of distortion on her face at all.

Qin Zhibo asked his doubts. Although it was a little impolite, he still got Nancy's answer.

"This is the method taught in that book. As a ghoul, I can change my physical state, regardless of gender or age."

"Sounds cool, right? But you don't want to have that kind of power."

"Because once you become a ghoul, you have to endure the hunger that you can't eat the corpse, and the food for humans is also tasteless, and you can hardly feel any delicious food."

"If my sanity continues to deteriorate... I don't know how long I can maintain this form, but sooner or later I will completely turn into an ugly ghoul..."

Deep despair was revealed in Nancy's blue eyes, and she picked up the cigarette beside her with one hand and lit it up.

Qin Zhibo could see that she was afraid, she was afraid, even though she was a ghoul, she was still afraid of herself.

Qin Zhibo has never felt such a mental journey in Matsumoto Ryohei.

If the taste of human food is gradually lost from humans to half-ghouls and then to ghouls, why can Matsumoto Ryohei continue to pursue the pursuit of food as always?

Until the eve of Matsumoto Ryohei's disappearance from the hospital, Qin Zhibo could still feel his calmness and freedom.

Perhaps this is what makes Matsumoto Ryohei extraordinary.

Qin Zhibo could tell that Nancy had a heart disease.

She hates ghouls, but ghouls are who she is.
