Conan's grammatical investigator

Chapter 1429 Qin Zhibo vs Ireland

A small park in Chiba Prefecture.

In the bushes opposite the children's slide, the grandfather and grandson were digging the soil at the bottom of a tree root.

Soon, the engineer shovel in Conan's hand touched a hard object.

"It seems that I have found it..."

"Doc, just hold the flashlight and I'll dig it myself."

In order to prevent the hard-earned memory card from being damaged by the engineer shovel, Conan turned the soil with his hands.

Until a clear plastic bag emerges from the moist soil.

Conan took out the plastic bag and took a look at the contents. They were all sundries, such as wallets, pendants, and makeup boxes.

"Shinichi, is this it?" Dr. Agasa held the flashlight in one hand and was visibly excited.

"Ah."

Conan responded in a deep voice, then brushed the dirt off his hands and put on white gloves.

Among the pile of miscellaneous items, he took out only an amulet.

This amulet is very similar to the ones used by Hattori Heiji and Toyama Kazuha. It is a purple amulet and is light and airy.

Conan opened the drawstring on top and poured out a black memory card.

Got it!

Conan stared at the memory card nervously, and his breathing became faster.

  Finally got it!

Something that can deal a heavy blow to the organization!

Knowing the importance of the matter, Conan stared at the memory card and confirmed it several times before carefully putting it in his arms.

As for the remaining things, they were also evidence of the serial murder case, so they were also packed up and taken away.

However, these things still have to be handed over to the police after everything is over.

After the two men restored the pit, they got on the Beetle and started their return journey.

Sitting in the car, Conan, who was sitting in the passenger seat, suddenly had an idea and asked sternly, "Doctor, did you bring your laptop?"

"No...what's wrong?"

Conan couldn't help but feel a sinking feeling in his heart when he heard Dr. Agasa's answer.

Although he was planning to hand this memory card over to Qin Zhibo, his strong curiosity prompted him to open it and confirm the contents.

"never mind……"

"Let's wait and see after we get back."

It would take 30 minutes to get back by car. In order to kill time, Conan turned on the radio and planned to listen to something.

squeak--

As soon as the radio was turned on, the reporter's urgent voice came from the radio.

"According to the police at the scene, the serial killer who committed crimes across Tokyo, Kanagawa Prefecture, Gunma Prefecture and other places is now inside the Tokyo Tower!"

"At present, the police have surrounded the entire tower, and the head of the Metropolitan Police Department's First Investigation Division, Superintendent Matsumoto Kiyonaga, is negotiating with the murderer."

"Let's pray together that everything goes well..."

When Conan heard that the police had sent someone to negotiate, his eyebrows suddenly narrowed.

It turned out to be him!

According to what was discussed with Qin Zhibo before, as long as he proposed to negotiate with the police alone, no matter who showed up, it would definitely be Ireland.

  This also means that Matsumoto Kiyonaga is Ireland!

Recalling what happened after the previous search meeting, this "Matsumoto Kiyonaga" was a little hesitant when responding to Xiaolan's greeting.

It's just that at that time I was attracted by the changes in other people and didn't notice this.

hateful!

Conan punched his thigh angrily to express his dissatisfaction with himself.

"Doctor, let's go to Tokyo Tower!"

"what?"

Dr. Agasa was stunned. "Aren't you going home?"

Conan didn't answer, but that resolute face had already given the answer.

For some reason, he had a very bad feeling in his heart this time.

……

Tokyo Tower, Observation Deck.

Qin Zhibo stood at the railing, confronting Ireland in front of him.

Qin Zhibo was quite shocked that Ireland could see through both his and Conan's identities.

"How did you determine my identity?"

"Humph……"

Ireland sneered, and the slight twitch of his mouth was very unsuitable for "Matsumoto"'s face.

"When we were arresting Minoru Fukase, our people saw you appear near the Beika Shopping Center..."

"You didn't come to the second search meeting, and you don't know about Fukase Minoru's situation. It can't be a coincidence that you are there, right?"

"So I guess you are investigating this case alone, but you don't want the police to know your progress."

"Two hours ago, on the way to Tropical Paradise, I saw that kid rushing somewhere. Combined with the fact that you two left together after the first search meeting..."

"So I guess you two are working together, and your goal is the memory card that contains the organization's undercover list."

"Although I don't know where you got this news from, it doesn't matter anymore."

"Since you have caught the murderer, hand over the memory card now."

"I promise to make your death more painful..."

Ireland gave a grim smile.

He had investigated Conan's situation, so he was particularly wary of Qin Zhibo, who was very close to Conan.

In addition, the rescued Shindou Sumire mentioned a kind-hearted person, so he immediately guessed that the two of them had worked together to catch the murderer.

In this case, the memory card is now in the other party's hands.

Faced with the threat, Qin Zhibo remained calm and shook his head calmly.

"Sorry, I don't have a memory card..."

"I entered the game to lure you out, just to rescue the police officer you replaced."

"Officer Matsumoto should still be alive now, right?"

Because Ireland didn't know how long he would have to go undercover before the police could solve the case, he would not rush to kill Manager Matsumoto.

Qin Zhibo is sure about this.

"He is indeed still alive..."

"But do you think you can do it?"

Under Ireland's suit, the muscle posture at the shoulder position changes slightly.

Qin Zhibo also secretly exerted force on his shoulders, raised his hands slightly, and his tense muscles were like a bow and arrow on a string, ready to fire at any time.

"If you don't try, who knows the result..."

The moment he finished speaking, Qin Zhibo suddenly took action and pulled out a pistol from under his clothes.

Almost at the same time, Ireland pulled out the pistol from under his suit and pulled the trigger.

Both sides fired at each other at the same time.

Pia, Pia, Pia!

Several bullets flew past the positions where both sides had just stood, hitting the glass and walls behind each other.

Both sides moved sideways towards the cover, pouring bullets into each other's bodies.

By the time both sides had hidden behind their cover, silence returned to the entire observation hall.

Qin Zhibo, who was hiding behind a pillar, opened the chamber and took a look, and found that his pistol was out of bullets.

Ireland, who was hiding on the other side, heard the familiar sound of a gun mechanism being triggered and sneered.

"What? You're out of bullets?"

Likewise, Ireland, who had fired the same number of bullets, had no more bullets left.

However, he took out a magazine from his waist, removed the empty magazine, and replaced it. "It seems that I won..."

Ireland rearranged his pistol and walked out boldly.

In fact, he had already lost slightly in the previous battle of bullets.

Because his cheek was scratched by the bullet fired by Qin Zhibo, a horrifying cut was left on the human skin mask, and even the original skin underneath was bleeding.

But this scar is not fatal.

Ireland, holding a pistol, slowly approached the pillar where Qin Zhibo was hiding.

Although his tone sounded relaxed, he was not careless. The muzzle of the gun in his hand was aimed at the side of the pillar, ready to shoot at any time.

Although Ireland just said to capture Qin Zhibo alive and then use him as bait to catch Conan.

But there are police officers everywhere below the Tokyo Tower, and it is almost impossible to capture him alive.

What he just said was actually just to find out the whereabouts of the memory card.

Since the memory card is not on Qin Zhibo, it can only be on Conan.

In this case, Qin Zhibo is useless...

Ireland slowly approached the pillar with his pistol in hand.

When he reached the extreme angle of the side of the pillar, his upper body suddenly leaned forward along with the muzzle of the gun.

But there was nothing behind the thick pillars, only empty ground.

  what?

Ireland's eyes froze in place.

But the next second, a breath suddenly hit me in the face.

Ireland dodged to the side, but was still kicked in the abdomen.

The powerful kick sent Ireland stumbling backwards, and the pistol slipped from his hand.

Suddenly, a figure appeared out of nowhere in the empty air and continued to punch Ireland.

Ireland was startled by the moment when Qin Zhibo went from invisible to reappear. His brain was unable to react in time and he was hit by several punches in succession.

Each of these punches hit Ireland in the face, and after just a few punches, Ireland's hood was knocked off.

Beneath the human skin mask, Ireland's true face was also revealed.

He has a long and thin face similar to that of a European, with exaggerated drooping eyebrows and short light blonde hair.

When Ireland staggered and tried to get up again, Qin Zhibo had already picked up the dropped pistol and pointed it at Ireland.

"How about it?"

"Do you still think you can catch me now?"

Just now, while Ireland thought that his pistol had no bullets, Qin Zhibo took advantage of the situation, entered invisible state, and waited in place.

Wait until Ireland gets close, then strike suddenly.

However, you only have one chance to make such a move, and you cannot make it continuously.

After entering the invisible state, even Qin Zhibo himself could not see his own hands and feet, and could not judge the distance of his punches, which was very inconvenient.

"Okay, now please tell me who your accomplices are?"

"Besides Vermouth, there should be others, right?"

Qin Zhibo did not knock Ireland out directly, but also wanted to interrogate him to get information about Scotch whisky.

In the afternoon, Scotch Whisky appeared at Shindo Sumire's home, indicating that he was also a participant in this mission.

If we can make good use of Ireland, maybe we can grab Scottish whiskey this time.

It can also be regarded as fulfilling one of Toru Amuro's wishes.

……

Outside the Tokyo Tower, Dr. Agasa drove his Beetle into the square under the tower.

However, since the police and reporters had already occupied the best observation positions in advance, the grandfather and grandson were still 100 meters away from the entrance of the tower.

"Shinichi, I've reached my limit..."

Conan immediately pushed the door and got out of the car, looking up at the observation deck of the Tokyo Tower.

However, due to the angle problem, even if the black-tech glasses are adjusted to telescope mode, you still can't see what's going on inside.

  How to do?

Conan frowned slightly and looked around. Suddenly, he found a building opposite the Tokyo Tower. The top floor was almost the same height as the observation deck of the Tokyo Tower.

So Conan immediately rushed towards the building on his skateboard.

This building is used to host various large-scale exhibitions, and the security is relatively tight.

Kaito Kidd once came here to steal gems.

However, since there was no exhibition being held in the building at the moment, Conan took advantage of his sturdy figure and easily slipped into the building.

When he took the elevator and went up a flight of stairs to the rooftop, his view was almost level with the observation deck of Tokyo Tower.

Adjust the telescope's field of view again, and you can see what's going on inside through the observation deck's large floor-to-ceiling glass.

I saw a burly figure sitting on the ground with his back to the glass, and a man was pointing a gun at him.

Although the man holding the gun did not look like Qin Zhibo, Conan knew that this was Qin Zhibo.

  Very good!

He's got Ireland!

Conan couldn't help but feel encouraged when he saw that Qin Zhibo had the situation under control.

Now, if the Red Team can get Ireland down from the Tokyo Tower, it will be a complete victory.

The only problem is that the police surrounding this place are unaware of the existence of the organization, which is not easy to explain.

Just as Conan was thinking about how to "settle the victory" next, the sound of a propeller suddenly came from the sky.

Conan was stunned and quickly searched for the source of the sound in his field of vision.

When he looked over, he suddenly saw a helicopter appear in the dark sky, rapidly approaching the Tokyo Tower.

  Helicopter?

Conan zoomed in through his black-tech glasses and saw heavy machine guns and even rockets hanging on the pitch-black fuselage.

It's an attack helicopter!

This familiar scene suddenly reminded Conan that in a parallel world, the organization had used armed helicopters to attack the coronation ceremony of Princess Vesbania.

Even in this world, the police cannot mobilize this kind of helicopter.

Could it be...

not good!

……

At the same time, a flash of light suddenly appeared in the corner of Qin Zhibo's eyes as he was confronting Ireland with a gun.

Qin Zhibo tilted his head and looked out the window, only to see an armed helicopter hanging in the air outside the window.

"Humph……"

Ireland sat on the ground, glanced at the helicopter outside, and said with a grim smile: "My support is coming..."

support?

Hearing this, Qin Zhibo felt a chill in his heart.

If a helicopter launched a fire attack on Tokyo Tower at this time, it would be difficult for me to deal with it.

But even if it is an organization, it shouldn't behave so arrogantly, right?

After all, there are police and reporters below...

Ireland is also here, and the other side will not shoot easily because they are concerned about their own people.

Just then, Ireland's phone rang.

Qin Zhibo wanted to stop him, but Ireland was quick and picked up the phone.

"Hey?"

"I haven't received the memory card yet, but..."

"Wait a minute! Who are you?"

……

At the same time, in the cabin of the helicopter, the cold-blooded man held his mobile phone, his dark green pupils slightly contracted, and said coldly.

"Ireland, you've lost your chance to find out..."
