Conan's grammatical investigator

Chapter 816 Qin Zhibo's reasoning error?
Shinagawa Ward, Abandoned Warehouse at the Port.

Qin Zhibo followed Kato Akira's escape route and came to this familiar place.

When the Fire Worship Cult held the fire worship ceremony before, this was the last arson point that shaped the pentagram circle on the map of Tokyo.

Now that I came here again, it seemed to be completely abandoned, even the lighting facilities on the road were removed a lot.

Coupled with the many warehouses, this environment provides excellent conditions for the escapees.

When Qin Zhibo temporarily lost his tracking direction, the system suddenly popped up a prompt.

[Main task: Capture Akira Kato]

[Task requirements: Within a limited time within this week]

[Mission reward: 3000 general skill proficiency, 1 lucky draw chances]

-

When investigating the case just now, the mission did not pop up, and the final arrest stage has already begun, but the mission popped up instead.

Moreover, Qin Zhibo noticed that this task was not an ordinary side task, but the main line.

All mainline quests generally involve mysteries.

Isn't Akira Kato a simple kidnapper?
Just at this moment, a black shadow hurriedly flashed across the alley of the side warehouse.

Qin Zhibo hurried to catch up, passed through the long alley, and his vision suddenly widened.

There is a vast sea outside the port, but since it is getting late now, except for the area illuminated by the port lighthouse, it is all black and rumbling.

And that dark sea water comes from the famous Pacific Ocean.

Since having [Bottled Fear], Qin Zhibo's body doesn't really reject sea water, even the sea water in the Pacific Ocean.

But in the face of such a vast and boundless dark sea, as a human being who is a drop in the ocean, there is still a sense of awe that should be there.

There may be something lurking in that unknown sea.
Humans should never have sailed far.
"How is it, Mister Detective?"

"Is the view here nice?"

A voice sounded faintly from the side.

Qin Zhibo glanced at it, and it was Akira Kato.

"Did you lure me here on purpose just to tell me this?"

Qin Zhibo turned around and looked at Akira Kato.

However, Kato was not moved, and continued to look at the sea, as if the two were old friends who hadn't seen each other for a long time, rather than the relationship between a fugitive and a detective.

"When I was young, every time I looked at the sea here, I couldn't help but imagine what was on the other side of the sea."

"Think about it, the sea is so endless, maybe it's enough to separate the two worlds."

"But when I grew up, I realized that the other side of the sea is also a human world. The tall buildings in the city, the pedestrians on the road, everything is so nothing more than that."

Suddenly, Kato Akira turned around and faced Qin Zhibo, with a serious expression rarely seen on his face.

"But Mr. Detective, have you thought of one thing?"

"Is human history all there is?"

"In other words, in those ancient times beyond the reach of human imagination, there are always some dark unknowns, right?"

Looking at Akira Kato, who looked like an orator with his hands outstretched, Qin Zhibo probably already knew what kind of person he was.

Like Tomonori Kinoshita once, this one seems to be a crazy believer in something.

It's just that the reasons for belief are different, and Kinoshita Satoshi hopes to "clean" Japan.

Akira Kato seems to be out of a "knowledge"?
Although thinking this way in his heart, Qin Zhibo's expression remained indifferent, and he shook his head indifferently.

"Sorry, I'm not interested in things beyond human cognition, at least I won't actively pursue them."

"As far as I know, curiosity is a fever. If you are sick, treat it as soon as possible."

Hearing Qin Zhibo's decisive words, Kato Akira's expression froze for a moment, and then his coldness returned.

"I heard that you seem to be a student of the University of Michigan. It seems that I overestimated you."

"But how can you be sure that what you experienced today must be 'reality'?"

Akira Kato smiled wickedly, his natural expression made Qin Zhibo feel that this was not a bluff.

"Mr. Detective, in fact, your reasoning today really surprised me. Because I never imagined that you could get the correct answer on the basis of all mistakes in the process."

"Of course, this has something to do with my own negligence."

"But to create a perfect alibi, you don't need those complicated techniques at all."

"Only two people are needed, and one of them should be a policeman."

As soon as Kato Akira's words came out, Qin Zhibo was surprised.

Two people, and one is a policeman. Could it be that
Qin Zhibo forcibly calmed down, and replied: "Are you talking about Qianye? You want to say that Qianye is your accomplice?"

"Hmph—" Akira Kato sneered, "I knew you wouldn't believe it, but those photos without clothes are not my private collection."

"May I ask if I have successfully aroused your curiosity now?"

Qin Zhibo looked cold and didn't answer.

Seeing this, Akira Kato didn't go deep into the topic, but instead said: "I'll give you one last piece of advice, that girl named 'Mizase' is not what you think."

As soon as Kato's words fell, he jumped into the water of Tokyo Bay.

Qin Zhibo came to his senses and quickly stepped forward to check, but the moving black shadow sank into the water in an instant, completely losing his vision.

Looking at the dark sea water under his feet, Qin Zhibo clenched his fists, but gave up the idea of ​​going into the water.

First of all, with Akira Kato's agility and the more complicated underwater environment, there is a high probability that he will not be able to catch him even if he goes into the water.

Secondly, I have to admit that what Kato said about Chiba really aroused Qin Zhibo's curiosity.

Or maybe it's not curiosity, but worry.

If Chiba is really an accomplice of Akira Kato, then Harumi Minase and the others
When I returned to the apartment building where I rented in Chiba, the Kanagawa police did not come back, and they should still be searching outside.

Chiba, Minase Harumo, Mori Ran and the two little ones were all gone too.

However, the police from the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department finally arrived at the scene, led by an old policeman with thick lips whom he had never seen before, and his subordinates were the familiar Sato and Takagi.

"Mr. Qin! Why are you here?"

Qin Zhibo's sudden appearance shocked Takagi.

Qin Zhibo was also a little surprised, he was the one who appeared earlier, okay?How is it like inserting in the middle.
"Didn't you come here after receiving a report?" Qin Zhibo asked.

Sato next to him nodded, "Yes, I heard that it was a girl who reported the crime. She said that a serious case happened here, so let's come here quickly."

"But when we arrived at the scene, we found that there was no one here, the windows of the room were broken, and there were some prohibited photos in the apartment."

When mentioning the prohibited photos, Sato blushed a little.

Qin Zhibo didn't pay attention to these things, thinking of what Kato Akira said before diving, his heart shuddered.

Are Chiba and Kato really accomplices?

At this moment, Qin Zhibo's brain filled up the evil picture of the two colluding together.

Under Qin Zhibo's introduction, everyone understood what happened here.

"What? This is Chiba's apartment!"

Sato looked around in disbelief at the messy surroundings, as well as various Masked Superman figurines, and couldn't bear to look directly at the living environment of this colleague.

Takagi asked about the prisoner's escape with some concern.

After all, he is a murderer and a kidnapper, even in Mihua, he is considered a serial crime that cannot be underestimated.

Qin Zhibo replied: "I chased him to the abandoned warehouse area of ​​the port in Tokyo Bay, but he jumped into the sea and escaped."

At this time, the old policeman on the side came over, Qin Zhibo glanced at the name on the policeman's head, it was called Takagi Nagasuke, and his police rank was the police department.

"Since the prisoner is now located in Tokyo, we must immediately contact the police in Kanagawa Prefecture to jointly handle the case."

"Satou, you immediately send people to search along the area around Tokyo Bay. With the physical strength of ordinary people, you won't be able to swim too far."

"And Takagi, you should contact Chiba now and ask him to come here to explain the situation."

"Yes! Sergeant Chief!"

The name was Takagi Nagasuke, but he was commanded vigorously by the policeman known as the "Chief Police Officer", which made Qin Zhibo a little impressed.

While it may not help, it's really all the police can do right now.

Takagi picked up the phone and dialed Chiba, but he was thinking about his little Jiujiu in his heart.

In fact, this morning, Takagi just heard from "Gossip Queen" Yumi Miyamoto that he was about to be transferred to Tottori Prefecture to track down a group of theft groups.

The theft amount of this group of thieves is not only extremely exaggerated, but more importantly, they killed someone while passing through Tokyo. Therefore, the police from many places decided to jointly set up a search headquarters in Tottori Prefecture to carry out the encirclement and suppression.

As for the candidate sent by the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department, Yumi Miyamoto heard from Matsumoto Administrator and Megure Police Department that he was "Officer Takagi".

This made Takagi unavoidably worried.

Because I heard that this group is elusive, and it is as difficult to catch as Kaitou Kidd, and even more vicious. It is estimated that it will be impossible to solve the case within three to five years.

Refer to the second section of the search next door. It took a full 18 years to catch Kidd, a phantom thief, and you can understand the seriousness of the problem.

Takagi can imagine that when he comes back from solving the case, Sato's children may be able to play soy sauce.

But disobeying the orders of his superiors is absolutely impossible, and he didn't have the courage to say such a tough word as "this little neon policeman, it doesn't matter if it's inappropriate".

But Takagi thought about it again, this case should be the last case before his transfer.

If the prisoner in this case can never be caught and the case can't be closed, will he never have to be transferred?

Just when Takagi wanted to fart, the phone was connected suddenly.

"Chiba?"

"I'm Takagi, I'm in your apartment right now, where are you?"

".Huh? What are you talking about?"

Takagi's expression froze for a moment, making Qin Zhibo next to him feel that something was wrong.

After two seconds, Takagi put down the phone, and said in a daze, "Qianye said that he is not here now and cannot answer the call, and then hung up the phone."

Takagi Nagasuke narrowed his small glasses, "Oh? That's really strange."

Qin Zhibo thought of what Akira Kato said just now, and had a bad premonition in his heart.

Logically speaking, this is the den of criminals. As a policeman, Chiba should understand this, and will not wander around before the police arrive.

But in fact, Chiba is not only gone, but also Mao Lilan, Minase Harumi and others are gone.

Feeling more and more worried, Qin Zhibo quickly picked up the phone and called Mao Lilan.

After waiting for a while, the call was connected, but it was not Mao Lilan who answered.

"Hello? This is the beautiful girl Harumi Minase."

Harumo Minase said this in a serious tone, leaving Qin Zhibo speechless.

"I'm Qin Zhibo, where are you now?"

"I'm in the hospital~ and the children, Miss Mori, and Conan wearing glasses, everyone is in the hospital"

Hearing that Conan was also there, Qin Zhibo was relieved, at least it meant that everyone was safe, and then asked, "What about Police Officer Chiba? Is he with you?"

"No~" Minase Harumi's tone was a bit natural and playful, "The fat police officer suddenly left by himself after you left."

"No matter how I call him, he doesn't respond, I'm so mad~"

Qin Zhibo thought about it in his heart, and replied: "I see, you can stay with everyone in the hospital."

After speaking, Qin Zhibo hung up the phone.

Chiba doesn't stay with the crowd, doesn't stay at the scene, and responds to Takagi's phone call abnormally.

What exactly is going on?

Could it be that he is really an accomplice with Akira Kato and has also escaped now?
Qin Zhibo glanced around at the policemen around him, and felt that it would be better to go and find Qianye by himself.

That Kato Akira has a strong ability to change his image. In order to avoid the police's search, he will definitely change his disguise after landing. Even if he uses the object-finding spell, it may be useless.

But Chiba's body shape and appearance are more distinctive, and the baby's fat face is easier to find.

Making up his mind, Qin Zhibo went out quickly.

In the apartment, Gao Mu just wanted to ask Qin Zhibo how long it would take to settle the theft group if he was hired as a famous detective, but when he turned his head, he found that the man had disappeared.

Takagi: "Huh?"

Outside the apartment building, Qin Zhibo quickly put on the magic power extractor.

Closing his eyes, recalling Chiba's appearance in his mind, he got a hint of inspiration as expected.

Running towards the direction of inspiration, Qin Zhibo was also thinking about the last words Kato Akira said.

Minase Harumi is not what you think
Qin Zhibo didn't understand the specific meaning of these words, but through psychological judgment, Kato Akira's expression when he said this did not seem like a bluff.

And Qin Zhibo himself also found some strange things about the girl.

It seems that after going back, regardless of whether or not her oral addictions are triggered, she will have to investigate carefully.

Qin Zhibo was running towards a certain direction when suddenly a fat figure passed by.

He stopped and took a closer look, and it turned out to be Chiba.

At this time, Qianye was walking slowly on the quiet street, with a dull expression, like a puppet aimless.

"Chiba!"

Qin Zhibo yelled, but Qianye didn't stop, and still walked straight forward.

Seeing this, Qin Zhibo had no choice but to run in front of Qianye and block his way.

And "Qianye" also stopped, looking at Qin Zhibo with blank eyes.

"Sir, do I know you?"

What is this reaction?
Qin Zhibo was taken aback, and patted his chest, "I'm Qin Zhibo, did you forget it so quickly?"

"Ok?"

"Qianye" paused, and gave an answer with no expression on his face.

"I also just entered this body, so I don't know the specific situation"

　Thanks to Wuzhi Zhixin for the reward!
