Conan's grammatical investigator

Chapter 1339: Disappearance of Akai Shuichi
"Teacher Wakasa!"

When the three little ones saw that it was Wakasa Rumi who appeared from the stairs, their faces instantly became filled with joy.

Conan looked surprised for a moment.

Because he heard the noise coming from above, he thought the two robbers were going to do something indecent to her, the female teacher.

After the ropes on the three little ones and Conan were untied, they went to the warehouse upstairs and saw the two robbers lying on the ground with their arms and legs spread out, unconscious.

There was a slightly wider red mark on their faces, as if they had just been beaten.

This is……

Conan squatted next to the robber to check and found that this slightly wider mark did not look like it was left by a fist, but more like something hitting the face.

He glanced around and felt that the flat sand rake placed next to the storage rack was the most suspicious.

Could it be that this thing can be used to knock down all the robbers?

Just then, a loud sirens sounded outside the warehouse.

The police finally arrived.

……

Soon, the police who had inquired about the situation took the three robbers away.

One of the robbers was hit by Conan's anesthetic needle and could not be woken up, so he had to be carried out on a stretcher.

As for the 2 million stolen money, it was also taken away by the police.

By the time Conan, Wakasa Rumi and the other members of the Junior Detective League finished taking their statements and came out of the Metropolitan Police Department building, it was already very late.

There are only elementary school students here, and Wakasa Rumi is a weak woman, so the police are naturally responsible for sending her home.

And this arduous task naturally fell on Takagi.

Takagi sat in the driver's seat, fastened his seat belt, and asked Wakasa Rumi, who was sitting next to him in the passenger seat, "Excuse me, where is Ms. Wakasa's home address?"

Since this situation has happened to the Junior Detective League more than once, and Takagi is always ordered to deliver people, he has long memorized the addresses of Conan and others.

The only thing he didn't know was the address of this new face.

Wakasa Rumi smiled slightly, with a faint light on her right eye lens, "It's not far from here, it's 6-chome 24 in Beika-cho~"

Hearing this address, Conan, who was squeezed in the back row with the three little ones, twitched his ears slightly.

Beihua 6-chome 24...

This address sounds familiar.

The next second, Conan's eyes changed and he suddenly remembered.

This is exactly the address Qin Zhibo asked him to investigate!
When in London, Qin Zhibo asked him to help investigate an address.

Someone living at this address posted content on the Internet about a case related to the organization 17 years ago.

As for which case it was, Qin Zhibo did not elaborate.

But Conan guessed that since Qin Zhibo asked him to investigate, he was also intending to guide him to find the truth.

Originally, he planned to take a detour to this address after school today to check the route, but he didn't expect these things to happen.

This seems like a good opportunity...

……

In about half an hour, Takagi sent Ayumi, Genta, and Mitsuhiko back home one after another.

Conan and Wakasa Rumi were left, and Conan offered to send Wakasa Rumi home first.

"Wakasa-sensei is closer to here, so let's send Wakasa-sensei off first!"

"How, how can this be possible?" Wakasa Rumi quickly declined.

"It's okay! I've already explained the situation to Uncle Maori and Sister Xiaolan, and I'll be back a little later..."

At Conan's request, Takagi first drove the car to 6-chome-24 in Beika.

When the car slowly stopped in front of an apartment building, Conan looked out the window with a little surprise, remembering that he had passed by here before.

That time, I went to Dr. Agasa's house with a few members of the Junior Detective League to help the doctor find his friend's wedding invitation.

On the way, I met Qin Zhibo at the entrance of this apartment building.

Although it was an accidental encounter, Qin Zhibo was indeed looking at the mailbox of the residents in front of the apartment building at that time, as if he was looking for something.

"Goodbye, Conan~"

"Yeah! Goodbye, Wakasa-sensei!"

After getting off the car, Wakasa Rumi turned around to say goodbye to Conan, then turned around and walked straight into the apartment building.

Conan looked at Wakasa Rumi's departing back, but suddenly felt that the surname "Wakasa" sounded familiar.

That time, Huihara Ai also met Qin Zhibo here by chance.

At that time, I thought that Qin Zhibo appeared here for some commission, so I turned back curiously to check the name on the mailbox.

And Haibara Ai also turned back.

At that time, when Haibara Ai saw the surname "Wakasa" in the mailbox of a resident here, she mentioned in passing that she had been to the American Island in Wakasa Bay, Fukui Prefecture.

Ai Haibara was still in the organization at the time, and went to the American island with Gin and Vodka.

This was certainly not an employee welfare trip organized by the organization, but rather Ai Haibara went to the island to investigate the clues mentioned in the research materials on drug A.

This clue points to a long-lived woman on the island who is rumored to be 130 years old.

Gin used his own methods to investigate and found out that the long-lived woman was actually someone else in disguise, so this clue was dropped.

It was because of what Huiyuan Ai said that I realized that the case that happened on the American island before was not the truth...

It now seems that Qin Zhibo appeared here at that time just to investigate what he is investigating now.

Wakasa...

The organization's clue to Drug A points to the American Island in Wakasa Bay, and this Wakasa Rumi happens to live in this place.

Could this be a coincidence?

Conan held his chin up and thought seriously about everything that had happened since he met Wakasa Rumi today.

First of all, he and the Junior Detective Team were called by Wakasa Rumi to help find lime, and that's how they encountered the secret code left by the leader of the robbery gang.

After that, whenever he got stuck in deciphering the code, Wakasa Rumi would remind him.

Once it reminded me of the class schedule, and once it reminded me of using the Iroha Uta.

If these two can be explained by coincidence, then how do we explain the subsequent leak of the secret code on the Internet?

There must be no leaks within the police force, and reporters who come to interview the police cannot possibly get pictures of the secret code.

Only Wakasa Rumi, who saw the code at the time, could have leaked the secret...

Also, why did she go back to the abandoned warehouse after school that night?

Although she said at the police station that she left her keys here during the day, how could it be such a coincidence?
It was as if he knew that the three little ones and himself would be in trouble at that time.

The key point is that the two robbers, judging from the marks on their bodies, were easily knocked down by her, and it was not as she said in her statement that "she beat them randomly."

She's not just hitting...

She came prepared for all of this.

Conan's eyes darkened and a chill suddenly surged in his heart.

If this Wakasa Rumi had already figured out the code used by the robbers and used this incident to her advantage...

But why did she do that?
Is this person an enemy or a friend?
At the same time, in a bedroom upstairs in the apartment.

The thick black curtains completely blocked out the outside light, and only the laptop screen emitted a dazzling light in the room.

Wakasa Rumi was wearing a thin underwear.

Under the fluorescent light of the computer screen, numerous sharp cuts on the arms, waist and abdomen were exposed.

She operated the touchpad with one hand and clicked on a list in a few clicks.

The left side of the list is the name and the right side is the status.

But the “status bar” on the right is a bit scary, and it all shows death.

Takeishi Yoshio, died. Kudo Shinichi, died.

Toyota Minoru died.

Hiroshi Haneda, death...

She stared quietly at the names on the list, a faint smile slowly appearing at the corners of her mouth.

……

Tokyo Haneda International Airport.

After 15 hours of flight, the flight from London finally landed smoothly.

After a while, a mixed-race man and a blonde woman walked out of the airport.

The two of them were carrying their own suitcases. As soon as they left the airport, the woman asked the man next to her.

"Where is Shuichi now?"

The man was stunned and asked doubtfully: "Shuiyi is in Beikacho, Tokyo, but are you sure you want to meet him tonight?"

"Yes." The woman nodded affirmatively.

Seeing that Akai Mary was firm in her attitude, Qin Zhibo said nothing more.

He waved his hand to call a taxi, got in and told the driver to go straight to Beika-cho 2-chome.

After driving for about 40 minutes, under the guidance of Qin Zhibo, the driver parked the car at 2, Beika-cho 21-chome.

After getting off the car, Mary looked up at the huge villa in front of her, and glanced at the words "Kudo House" hanging on the doorpost.

At this time, the lights were still on in the windows on the second floor of the villa, indicating that the people inside had not yet gone to sleep.

Looking at the lighted window, Mary's determined eyes couldn't help but flicker.

The last time I met my eldest son was at a beach in Shizuoka Prefecture.

At that time, the two had some disputes over whether to stay in the United States and even fought.

After some things happened, she finally agreed with Shuichi Akai's decision and let him go to the United States to find out the truth.

It has been 10 years since we last met.

When they met again, I didn't expect that it was my eldest son who had lost his memory.

Thinking of this, Akai Mari rubbed her fingers nervously.

"All right……"

"go in."

After standing at the gate of the yard for half a minute, Mary finally made up her mind.

Seeing that Mary was ready, Qin Zhibo raised his hand and pressed the doorbell.

Nourishes—

As the sound of the doorbell reached the interior of the villa through the wires, someone in the room suddenly raised his head.

After a few seconds, the big iron gate was opened remotely.

Qin Zhibo and Akai Mary pulled their suitcases to the center of the courtyard and the door opened.

At the bright door, a tall figure was standing there.

Seeing the figure that might be her son, Mary quickened her pace and walked forward.

But when she stepped onto the stairs, the bright backlight in the room became dim as the distance got closer, and Mary froze in her place.

There stood a tall man at the door, with coffee-blond hair and dark skin that was totally inconsistent with Akai Shuichi's.

"Excuse me, are you..."

The blond man was also stunned when he saw the completely unfamiliar foreign woman.

Seeing this, Qin Zhibo, who was behind, hurried forward to introduce the two to each other.

"Mary, this is the person I told you about before, the one who takes care of Akai Shuichi's daily life..."

"Toruko, this is Akai Mari, the mother of Akai Shuichi."

After Qin Zhibo's introduction, both sides finally reacted and shook hands.

"Hello, my name is Toru Amuro, I've heard of you for a long time."

"Hello, thank you for taking care of my son..."

Although Toru Amuro had some complaints about Shuichi Akai himself before, he was still very polite to Mary Akai.

At this time, Qin Zhibo asked, "How is Akai Shuichi doing recently? Is he stable?"

"Mary wants to see him now. Is that all right with you?"

As Shuichi Akai's guardian during this period, Toru Amuro still has a say in this regard.

But at this time, Amuro Toru frowned slightly and said hesitantly: "Actually, something went wrong..."

"What's going on?" Qin Zhibo was surprised. "What's going on?"

Amuro Toru glanced around and said, "Let's talk first..."

……

"what?!"

"Akai Shuichi disappeared?"

In the reception room, Qin Zhibo was shocked by what Amuro Toru said.

Toru Amuro sat in the chair opposite and recounted what had happened.

It turned out that during the day today, Toru Amuro went to work at a nearby restaurant as usual, leaving Shuichi Akai alone to look after the house.

But when I got home from get off work in the evening, I found that Shuichi Akai was missing.

Judging from various traces in the room, Shuichi Akai was not abducted, but left on his own initiative.

They also packed up a lot of daily necessities and took away a sum of money.

"I have sent people to look for it, but there is no news so far..."

As Toru Amuro spoke, he crossed his thumbs and rubbed them together, showing his inner uneasiness.

This matter is very important to him.

Because if Shuichi Akai, who is wandering around, is caught by someone related to the organization and interrogated, they will definitely find out his relationship with them.

So, he is now anxiously waiting for news from Yuya Kazami.

But before the news came from there, Qin Zhibo and Mary arrived first.

Qin Zhibo figured out the current situation, thought about it for a while, and asked, "Did he say where he was going before?"

Amuro Toru shook his head. "During this period, he seldom talked to me, and his various actions had no apparent purpose."

"So he suddenly left here this time, and I don't know where he's going..."

"But I guess, is it possible that his memory suddenly recovered, so he left?"

When Qin Zhibo heard this, he immediately recalled what Koizumi Hongzi said after resurrecting Akai Shuichi.

She believes that human resurrection requires a price, and that price is memory.

But Chengshi believes from a medical point of view that as long as a person with amnesia is not completely an idiot, there is a possibility that he or she can recover his or her memory under certain stimuli.

That was why Qin Zhibo brought Mary from London.

But Mary just came back and Shuichi Akai ran away again?
"Wait a moment..."

Qin Zhibo stood up and walked to the window, put the magic extractor on his hand, then closed his eyes and recalled the appearance of Akai Shuichi.

But after waiting for more than ten seconds, there was still no response.

Including the face of Okiya Subaru, the locating spell had no reaction at all.

This means that Shuichi Akai is still hiding his appearance.
