Conan's grammatical investigator

Chapter 836 Internal Investigations
Under the bright moon and starry sky, Akira Kato combed his crew cut hair, the gold-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose reflected the moonlight, and walked slowly towards the ruins.

This morning he got the bad news from his grandma, and in the afternoon he drove from his hiding place to Tianbu Mountain.

It's just that due to the tight search by the police now, it is possible that an investigation assistance notice has been issued to the police stations in the surrounding areas. If he can't show up during the day, he can only come to express his condolences at night.

Walking to the ruins, he stood still, staring straight at the dark stone crevices in the ruins.

Although the specific circumstances are unclear, from the people who informed him, it is known that Kato Jing died in the earthquake, and dozens of villagers died with her.

At this moment, Akira Kato did not have much sadness in his eyes, but rather dull.

He still vaguely remembers that when he was ten years old, his father had a big fight with his grandma because his grandma donated all the property of his hometown and didn't leave any money to him, and the two even had a fight.

Since then, there has been no contact between the two sides, not even a phone call.

Therefore, Kato Akira didn't have much affection for this grandma.

It's just that I want to avoid the news of the police raid recently, and there's not much to do, so I took the opportunity to come back and have a look, which can be regarded as a refreshment.

"Grandma, I'm here to see you."

A greeting without any emotion came out of his mouth.

Immediately, he looked up at the decapitated goddess halfway up the mountain, and raised his hand to light a cigarette.

But when he was looking at the goddess statue in a daze, a slight noise sounded from beside him.

He lowered his head slightly, looking at the rubble ruins in front of him.

In the mess made of countless rubble, the silence in the dark crevices was broken by sneaky sounds.

rustling——

In the gap that arouses people's desire to observe, there seems to be something hidden, wriggling.

Akira Kato narrowed his eyes slightly, lowered the cigarette in his hand, and took a closer look.

Suddenly, a cloud of fuzzy black sprang out from the stone gap, ejected at an alarming speed.

He has undergone professional fighting training overseas, and his reaction speed is extremely fast. With a sudden flash of his head, he avoided the black jet route.

But just when he was about to turn his head to see what it was, he felt a heavy sense of restraint under his feet.

Looking down, it turned out that a slime-like black substance had climbed up his feet and was burrowing into his trousers.

He didn't scream, but his eyes sharpened immediately, and he raised his foot to shake off those hateful substances.

But the power of these things is not small, the trapped feet seem to be stuck in a swamp, and the strength of trying to suck the milk is like a mud cow falling into the sea.

In this moment of struggle, other black substances also sprayed onto his body, forming a net-like structure to bind his body.

The bloody mouth was formed on this hateful body, and the sharp teeth began to bite his body, and the piercing pain was transmitted from the skin to the brain in an instant.

But even so, Kato Akira still did not let out a scream.

He gritted his teeth while maintaining the most basic thinking ability in his mind.

Suddenly, his expression was a little dazed, as if he had realized something, and he immediately uttered a spell that sounded twisted.

"Ah'hri ya, Y'ymg' ah uh'eog, hugus!"

When the spell was finished, these shoggoths seemed to have been hit by some kind of time stop spell, and they all stopped attacking.

After a few more seconds, the bloody mouths on the surface of the black and shiny material disappeared, and they suddenly became docile, flowing from Kato Akira's mouth and nose like slender streams.

With the influx of these terrifying substances, Akira Kato's body continued to climb, and his whole body twitched like an electric shock.

It wasn't until a certain moment that this terrifying process ended, his body fell back to the ground, and all the shoggoths on the ground disappeared.

Instead, a black shadow quickly passed by the corner of Kato Akira's eyes.

But he didn't care, there was a wicked smile on the corner of his mouth, as if he was chewing something.

"It turns out that this thing tastes like this."

In the morning, Qin Zhibo gets up on time, washes up, eats breakfast, and watches the morning news.

Real uncle, life is so regular.

After breakfast, Qin Zhibo quietly walked to the window and observed the environment on the street.

The bustling passers-by were walking for their own purposes, and they didn't seem to be quietly monitoring the suspicious figures in the office.

Since sending Harumi Minase to Ryohei Matsumoto, Qin Zhibo thought that his office would be monitored by those people. After all, he was the most likely person to save Harumi Minase.

But in fact, the expected situation did not appear. My office has been calm for the past two days, as if there is no such thing.

There are three possibilities for this. One is that the other party did not suspect him, so he did not monitor him.

The second is that the other party has already learned through some means that he did not take Minase Harumi in.

The third possibility is what Qin Zhibo is most worried about, that is, this group of people has always known the whereabouts of Minase Harumi.

Although Qin Zhibo had quietly checked that there were no signal transmitters on her school uniform, but for some reason, she was vaguely worried about this.

There are many mysteries about Minase Harumi.

To solve these mysteries, the only way to start now is to see if the Nine Angels Organization can investigate the origin of the group who intends to harm her.

At this moment, Qin Zhibo's old phone rang.

Jingle Bell--

He picked up the phone, but the owner of the voice on the other side didn't call him often.

"Hello? Is it Mr. Qin?"

Some capable female voices came from the phone, and Qin Zhibo identified the owner of the voice as Miwako Sato.

"I'm Qin Zhibo, why did Officer Sato think of calling me?"

Qin Zhibo remembered that he should not be in arrears with the transcripts, and it stands to reason that the two of them had no other intersection except the case.

"It's like this." Sato explained the purpose of his call.

It turned out that Qin Zhibo solved the problem that had plagued Miwako Sato for 18 years in the case of "Chou Si Lang" and helped her arrest the criminal who indirectly killed her father.

Therefore, Sato also honestly agreed to Qin Zhibo's fulfillment of a wish, the wish that he could even get married.

However, at that time, Qin Zhibo's situation was wide open, and he gave the right to make a wish to the young detective team, and the detective team made a wish for Miwako Sato to take him to the newly opened tropical amusement park.

It's a pity that the tropical amusement park is so hot right now that it's hard to get a ticket, so Sato had to settle for the next best thing, booking tickets for the Ferris Wheel Paradise in the Cupido Shopping Plaza.

Sato just took a break today, so he planned to take the Boy Detective Team to play together, and invite Qin Zhibo by the way.

"I don't know if Mr. Qin has time today, and the topic last time, I also want to chat with you."

What Miwako Sato said made Qin Zhibo a little puzzled, what is "that topic from last time"?
But thinking that Conan, the "primary student god of death", would join this time, Qin Zhibo didn't hesitate and agreed directly.

"No problem, I just happen to be free today."

"Then see you later at the gate of the amusement park?"

"OK."

Putting down the phone, Qin Zhibo fell into memories, thinking about when he had an unfinished conversation with Sato.

Is it the case of Chou Si Lang?Or the blind date?

These two cases were cases where he had a relatively strong interaction with Sato, but Qin Zhibo still couldn't remember what he had said to her that was worth paying attention to.

Forget it, let's wait until we get there.

Kubado City is located next door to Mihua. Due to its geographical proximity, it is usually taken care of by "Mihua talents". In recent years, the number of cases has continued to increase.

Qin Zhibo drove his Mustang convertible through the route provided by the navigator, and soon arrived at the shopping plaza in the center of Cupo.

It is said to be a square, but most of the area is actually used to build an amusement park.

Qin Zhibo put the car in order, opened the door and got off, looking up at the huge and eye-catching Ferris wheel in the center of the amusement park.

As an uncle out of vulgar tastes, Qin Zhibo has never seen many Ferris wheels, but the size of the Ferris wheel in front of him can definitely be ranked first.

The visual height alone is more than [-] meters, and it is enough to sit on it and overlook most of the city of Kubado City.

It is guessed that this should be designed based on the "London Eye".

While Qin Zhibo was staring at the Ferris wheel in a daze, several childish voices came.

"Uncle Qin!"

Qin Zhibo turned his head and saw that it was the five little ones from the Detective Boys who were all dispatched, and Miwako Sato was standing beside him.

Although it was a day off, Sato's clothes today were not very casual. The purple professional uniform was lined with a white knitted sweater, and a lady's small bag was slung across his shoulders.

With this outfit, you can go to the police directly after you take off your bag.

However, considering that he was going out to play with Conan and others today, Qin Zhibo thought it was normal, and even admired Sato's ability to be keenly aware of the death attribute in Conan.

Qin Zhibo stepped forward, greeted several members of the Boy Detective Team skillfully, and exchanged a few polite words with Sato, and they walked into the amusement park.

Through the ticket gate, a huge paradise unfolds in front of you.

The jumping machine, the big pendulum, and the Ferris wheel are some traditional amusement projects. Since Sato bought a pass, he can experience them all.

It's just that out of consideration for children's safety, many thrill-seeking projects have extended their rejection hand to the Detective Boys.

"Really, you can't play this, you can't play that, what are we here for?"

Yuan Tai couldn't help complaining, after all, he came here full of expectations, but found that there were not many items to play.

"If I had known it earlier, I would have insisted on the wish of the tropical amusement park." Ayumi also lowered her head in frustration.

Seeing this, Sato could only smile apologetically, and comforted him: "Actually, there are still things you can play, such as carousels and bumper cars."

"These are too common!" Mitsuhiko also expressed his dissatisfaction, "We have played with those children's things many times."

Only Conan looked like he didn't tell the truth, with a smile on his face.

Looks pretty childish to me. Except for the roller coaster.

When Sato was tired of dealing with the children's dissatisfaction, Qin Zhibo pointed to the Ferris wheel in the middle of the park.

"Why don't we just sit there?"

Seeing the super invincible Ferris wheel, the children's eyes lit up.

After Qin Zhibo's suggestion, everyone went over to inquire, and they learned that this amusement project can be experienced by any age, as long as they are not afraid of heights.

Conan: Maori Executioner
There were not too many people queuing up, five members of the Detective Boys sat in one car, and Qin Zhibo and Sato Miwako sat in one car.

With the faint rotation of the Ferris wheel, Miwako Sato finally said what she wanted to say.

"Mr. Qin, the last time you were at the gate of the police station, you told me that there was a ghost in the police station. Do you remember?"

Qin Zhibo was startled, and then realized that what Sato wanted to tell him was that matter.

When returning from the opening event of the 3K Hotel in Osaka, I and the Mori family met Sato and Takagi who were escorting the prisoners, and just solved another case.

After taking notes from the Metropolitan Police Department that day, Qin Zhibo expressed some conjectures to Sato, implying that someone inside the police might have leaked the information that Kinoshita Tomosori was escorting to Gunma County.

Although Qin Zhibo didn't say much about this matter, Sato was very concerned afterwards and investigated the incident handling report of Qunma.

Kinoshita Tomo was on the way to be transferred to Gunma County, the escort police car encountered a car accident, Kinoshita Tomo tried to escape while taking advantage of the chaos, but was shot dead on the spot by the criminal police of Gunma County.

At first glance, the whole incident is very clean and transparent.

But according to Qin Zhibo's black-bellied deduction, that road section is a long-distance highway between Gunma County and Tokyo, and only long-distance vehicles will pass by.

The time of the accident was late at night again, why would a drunk drive from there, and just hit the police car?
If a drunk driver sees a police car and drives after drinking, he should subconsciously avoid it, instead of actively speeding up and hitting it.

Combined with Qin Zhibo's suggestion that there may be ghosts inside the police station, Sato also felt that this incident was a bit strange.

After careful analysis of the case materials sent by Gunma County to the Metropolitan Police Department, Sato finally discovered something suspicious.

If Kinoshita Tomosori was shot dead by the police while fleeing, the bullet should have entered from the back and exited from the chest.

However, according to the autopsy photos of Tomono Kinoshita, the state of the bullet hole is more like being shot from the front chest and coming out from the back.

In other words, he was shot in the front, which does not quite fit the statement that the fleeing person was shot.

Although Sato immediately submitted this suspicious point to the Megure police department, Megure only said that the fugitive may have been shot dead just in a confrontation with the police. This kind of doubtful point is not worth overturning the case.

Moreover, the sponsorship of this case is the Gunma Police, and the Metropolitan Police Department in Tokyo has no right to intervene too much.

The response to the superior was fruitless, and Sato fell into confusion for a while.

Taking advantage of fulfilling his promise with the Detective Boys this time, Sato wanted to ask Qin Zhibo for advice.

After all, if Qin Zhibo hadn't hinted at it, she would not have noticed this suspicious place.

After listening to Sato's description, Qin Zhibo fell into thinking.

It had been so long since that case, and I had already forgotten about it, but now I bring it up again.

Regarding the ghost in the police station, it was just Qin Zhibo's conjecture at the time, but Sato did not expect to find a suspicious point.

Qin Zhibo thought for a while, and said: "If you really want to find out the truth behind this case, my suggestion is that you can start the investigation from the police officers who have investigated Kinoshita Tomosori's relevant case information internally. After you find out , you can provide me with another list."

"But you have to be mentally prepared, the forces behind this incident will never be too small"
