Conan's grammatical investigator

Pandora's stone, the legendary stone that can grant eternal life, and only exists among the legendary gems.

In order to find Pandora, the zoo organization with the scientific name "Brotherhood of Beasts" carried out an unknown search for how many years.

And the former phantom thief Kidd, the Black Feather Pirate, started stealing those legendary gems, what was he pursuing?

money?

Stimulate?

reputation?

woman?

These reasons are probably not valid for a great magician who was already famous all over the world at that time.

The motive of Black Feather Pirates stealing legendary gemstones all over the world is a mystery.

And the real consequence of this incident was that it hindered the progress of the Brotherhood of Beasts' pursuit of Pandora's Stone, and thus they were assassinated.

In this regard, Kaito Kuroba and Konosuke Terai's understanding is that Kuroba Pirates was killed by a secret organization, that's all.

But Qin Zhibo's intuition told Qin Zhibo that things were not that simple.

In the self-portrait of "Phantom Thief under the Moon" by Kuroba Pirates, there is a picture-in-picture of "Ghoul under the Moon", which was written by the painter Pickman.

Kuroba Banditichi is Pickman's model, and he inspired the creation of this painting, probably because he also wanted to tell Kuroba Kaito something.

For example, does he know some mysteries such as ghouls that ordinary people cannot know?

What kind of person might know about ghouls?

Qin Zhibo felt that people like himself would probably know, that is, investigators.

Assuming Kuroba is an investigator, the mystery of the motive for stealing the gem seems to be explained.

He has long known the existence of Pandora's stone, and in order to protect the real Pandora's stone, he stole gems all over the world.

The number of legendary gemstones in the world is limited. Once the Brotherhood of Beasts excludes other gemstones, it will naturally be clear which one is the real Pandora's Stone.

"Magician of Flame" James Hopper used the magic performance studied by the Crimson Tears, and Black Feather Pirates lied to his son that it was a man-made gemstone, probably to put a protective coat on Pandora's Stone .

Just like when Kaito Kuroba got the gem this time, if it wasn't because of Qin Zhibo's move, he would have given up the moonlight test because of the "artificial gem" and would never have found the Pandora's Stone.

But what Qin Zhibo couldn't understand was that since they wanted to unite to protect Pandora's Stone, why didn't they seal up the gemstone somewhere no one knew about it?
Qin Zhibo stroked the surface of the ice-blue gemstone, and after touching it for a while, the magic power in the magic power extractor was full.

In terms of the effect of absorbing magic power, Pandora's Stone is the best, better than Lord of the Rings and Koizumi Hongzi.

But although this thing is good, Qin Zhibo also knows that he is not blessed to enjoy it now.

He walked up to Judy Hooper and returned the crimson tears.

At this moment, Judy Hooper was still a little attracted by the breathtaking red light emanating from the gem just now, and she didn't come back to her senses.

Pop, pop.

Qin Zhibo snapped his fingers twice in front of her, and she regained consciousness a little.

"You have to keep this gem, as usual, and don't tell anyone what happened today"

Kidd, the strange thief standing behind, winked at Qin Zhibo, meaning to ask why he had to return the Pandora's Stone after finally finding it?
But Qin Zhibo also returned the same look, indicating that he should do according to his own ideas now, and talk about it after leaving here.

Facing Qin Zhibo's gaze, Kaito Kidd thought for a while, but decided to compromise, and his shoulders relaxed.

Anyway, now that Pandora's stone has been found, it is a huge progress, and revenge for the father seems to be at hand.

"Then ladies and gentlemen, good night!"

Kaitou Kidd turned around and jumped out of the glass hole that threw Snake away. The white hang glider spread out and flew into the distance in the dark.

Qin Zhibo glanced at Chengshi, his eyes were still absent-minded, as if he still hadn't shaken off the influence of that beam of red light.

Investigate his will, although it has only dropped by 10 points, it is only 30 points, far lower than ordinary people.

Although with Qin Zhibo's iron will, he couldn't experience the charm of that beam of red light, but it was safer to fall asleep than to let his wild thoughts go.

"Ugh"

Qin Zhibo sighed, and took out the [Shroud] from the inventory.

The effect of the shroud was to cause a coma. Cheng Shi, whose mouth and nose were covered by the cloth, immediately passed out, and his body softened. Qin Zhibo caught him and hugged him.

In order to facilitate the subsequent investigation, Qin Zhibo directly opened a room in the hotel and sent Chengshi who was asleep in it.

After helping change clothes, Qin Zhibo came out again.

The roof of the building next door to the hotel is the place where the replica Kidd fell, and Nakamori Ginzo is leading a team to investigate here.

On the roof, Nakamori Ginzo glanced at Qin Zhibo, who was late, with a displeased face.

He wasn't upset about Qin Zhibo's arrival, but this time he missed the best time to catch Kidd again.

almost!Every time it's just a little bit worse!

But this time Kidd landed his white hang glider on the roof.

If the Metropolitan Police Department displays the spirit of Ah Q, it can release news that this is the spoils of Kidd's capture operation - the hang glider of Kaitou Kidd.

"Congratulations, Officer Nakamori, Kidd lost his equipment."

"Oh—" Nakamori responded angrily.

Although the equipment was lost, according to his 18 years of Kidd arrest experience, it is impossible to find fingerprints on everything Kidd handles.

And this set of hang gliding equipment is not available to the police. Don't look at Kidd's ability to play hang gliding superbly, but this is a high-risk extreme sport after all, and no policeman can afford to risk his life for a limited salary.

"By the way, Kidd is gone, what are you doing here?" Nakamori Ginzo asked angrily.

"I came to tell the police officer that the gem was saved, and I also picked up the equipment dropped by Kidd's accomplices."

Qin Zhibo handed Snake's pistol to Nakamori Ginzo.

Obtaining new physical evidence, Nakamori Ginzo's eyes lit up, and he quickly asked his subordinates to take over the pistol and send it for forensics.

Taking advantage of Nakamori Gin's distraction, Qin Zhibo approached the hang glider on the roof. Although it fell a little tattered and its skeleton structure was deformed, it was exactly what the high imitation Kidd used.

But Ginzo Nakamori probably didn't catch the imitations of Kidd and Snake, otherwise he wouldn't have a bad face.

Qin Zhibo stretched out two fingers and weighed the tubing used in the paraglider. It turned out to be lighter and more flexible than expected.

Looking at the folding structure, it is also very flexible and ingenious.

On the whole, the level of high imitation of this hang glider is close to that of the real product, and the level of technology is very high.

Qin Zhibo carefully inspected the entire hang glider, looking for any written marks, and found it on a rivet that fell out.

This rivet also seems to be made of a special material, with almost invisible three letters etched on it.

NWI.

It seems to be the acronym of a special noun, which should be the manufacturer of this rivet.

Taking advantage of Nakamori Ginzo's focus on the pistol, Qin Zhibo quietly put the rivet into his pocket.

Blue Parrot Bar.

"What! Found Pandora!"

Konosuke Terai, who was beside the pool table, looked at Kaito Kuroba in disbelief as he was taking off the glider device, and asked again for confirmation.

"Really? Young master, did you really find Pandora?"

"It's true." Kaito Kuroba's voice was a little weak, and he was still thinking about why his father, Bandit Kuroba, said that the Crimson Tears were man-made gemstones.

If he hadn't accidentally seen Snake preparing to attack this gem, he would have given up stealing this gem.

And if Qin Zhibo hadn't identified the authenticity of the gems, he might have missed Pandora forever.

Why?Dad?

"But what about Pandora? Where is it now?" Terai Konosuke shook Kuroba Kaito's shoulder, his face full of excitement.

"it"

Kaito Kuroba was about to say that the gem was returned to Judy Hooper, but he suddenly noticed something was wrong, and looked at Konosuke Terai suspiciously.

This look is like asking: Why do you care more about where the gems are than me?

Terai Konosuke also felt the suspicion in Kuroba Kaito's eyes, his face was startled, and he knelt on the ground with a plop.

"Young master! I have been loyal and loyal since I followed Master Pirate One!"

"If I, Konosuke Terai, betrayed you and Master Pioneer, let me bump my head to death here!"

Terai Konosuke was crying, with pale white hair, kneeling down to show his loyalty, which was moving.

But Kaito Kuroba just stood there, staring at Konosuke Terai with his eyes trembling.

Since finding the Pandora's Stone, Kaito Kuroba's inner doubts have not diminished, but have fallen into deeper confusion and doubt.

As smart as he is, he can faintly sense that his father is not simple. Heiyu Pirates seems to be hiding something.

Father seems to have known about the existence of Pandora's Stone, otherwise he wouldn't have lied to me like this
What is Heiyu Pirates' past that even his mother and Terai's father don't know about?
Or is it all a lie?

When a child deifies his father too much in his head, once there is a crack in this image, the entire deified image will collapse along this crack.

Kuroba Kaito is such a typical example. Whether as a father or a magician, he regards Kuroba Pirates as the peak that cannot be surpassed in his life, and he admires and even worships him.

But now, everything seems to have changed.

Speaking of magicians, the first thing that comes to mind is fraud.

jingle--

At this moment, the doorbell at the back door of the bar shook and rang with a crisp sound.

The master and servant came back to their senses and saw the figure at the back door, it was Qin Zhibo.

Qin Zhibo also glanced at the two master and servant, one stood there in a daze, the other knelt on the ground and shed tears, not knowing what they were doing.

"What kind of shape is this? It's very unique~"

Qin Zhibo made a leisurely remark, which could be regarded as reconciling the embarrassing atmosphere.

After leaving the place where "Kidd" crashed, Qin Zhibo went straight to the Blue Parrot Bar.

In the eyes he gave Kaito Kidd just now, Qin Zhibo also indicated that we will meet up at the bar later.

Finding such a big thing as Pandora's Stone, of course, has to be discussed in private.

"convenient?"

"If it's not convenient, tell me where the kitchen is, I feel like I can eat a cow now~"

Tonight's dinner session was interrupted, and he has been busy with various things since then, Qin Zhibo has fully realized what it means to put your heart in front of your back.

Konosuke Terai quickly stood up, wiped away his tears, and went to the kitchen behind the bar to operate.

Seeing Terai leave, Qin Zhibo walked to the billiard table and said casually while playing with the billiard balls on the table.

"As long as tomorrow's news shows that the gemstone is still on Judy Hooper, and you continue to steal legendary gemstones as usual, those people will know that this gemstone is not the Pandora's Stone they are looking for."

"There is a lot of information about the secrets of Pandora's Stone, the situation of the enemy, and your father. Taking Pandora rashly now is equivalent to providing an accurate target. You will become the focus of the Brotherhood of Beasts."

Qin Zhibo set up all the billiard balls and took the first shot.

Snapped!
The colorful billiard balls rolled around, but unfortunately, none of the balls went into the hole.

Kaito Kuroba looked at the pool table, picked up another cue by the wall, and hit the white cue ball.

Snapped.

His luck was good. Although he could not rely on the magic's pure ball skills, he still had a ball that went crookedly into the hole.

Kuroba Kaito was looking for the angle of hitting the next ball while thinking about Qin Zhibo's words just now.

What Qin Zhibo said was not incomprehensible to him.

The reason why the Brotherhood of the Beasts only sent one Snake to deal with the Kaitou Kidd is that, to put it bluntly, they don't have enough energy.

If Judy Hopper's gem is taken away by himself, it will undoubtedly be announced that Kaitou Kidd has found Pandora.

Once there is a precise target, those members of the Brotherhood of Beasts will come to deal with the Kaitou Kidd, the world's number one illusionist Spider, and the international killer Shikao Bing, all of which are very difficult enemies.

Although Kaito Kidd has a way to deal with these enemies, Kuroba Kaito cannot.

Those people think that Kaitou Kidd's real identity is Black Feather Pirate One, and he hasn't shot himself at the moment, it's all because of this.

Once they find out that Black Feather Pirate One really doesn't exist, it's easy to understand who else in this world can restore Kaitou Kidd like this.

It must be him, the son of Heiyu Pirates, Heiyu Kaito.

When they can understand this, their friends around them will be in danger, Aoko Nakamori
Therefore, if you want to fight against the Brotherhood of the Beast, you must first understand the opponent well enough, grasp the information, and wait for the chance to win with one blow.

And this opportunity is probably the return of Great Halley's Comet.
"It's just that I can't figure out why he lied to me."

Snapped.

It was another shot, but this time I was not so lucky, and the ball went to my grandma's house.

Qin Zhibo came over to set up the club, and made up the missed ball into the hole.

"It's not a lie, maybe it's just the situation at the time, so it must be done."

"Besides, didn't he leave the painting "Phantom Thief under the Moon" for you? It should be a clue to guide you to succeed him as Phantom Thief Kidd."

"And the picture-in-picture of "Ghouls under the Moon" should also be some kind of clue."

"A person as smart as your father must have planned to leave these clues."

Qin Zhibo was looking for the angle of the shot while talking.

But Kuroba Kaito, who was sitting next to him, was stunned for a moment, his brain circuit turned sharply.

"You mean my father might still be alive?"

Hearing this, Qin Zhibo was shocked.

When did I say that!

I do not have!
Don't talk nonsense!
