Conan's grammatical investigator

Chapter 917 The Case 17 Years Ago

Gin and vodka didn't get out of the car immediately, but sat in the car carefully observing the movement.

The car on the opposite side turned off its high beams, and a few seconds passed before turning off the car.

Beep.

There were two short horns again, and the other party seemed to be urging this side to get off first.

Gin gritted his teeth slightly, and the skin on his temples squirmed. One of the things he hates the most due to his unruly nature is when others honk at him.

There is someone pointing a gun to his head.

However, considering that the other party might be the person the boss confessed to, he suppressed his anger and pushed open the car door.

Vodka also pushed the door and got out of the car, while Michael sat in the car.

Coming to the seventh turn of Yeshan Mountain, two cars, one black and one white, stopped at the side of the road strangely.

To show sincerity, Gin and Vodka got out of the car first, and the bleak cool wind was blowing on the hem of their clothes. Gin's waist-length blond hair and Vodka's black sky wearing sunglasses, both looked very performance art.

The two stood on both sides of the front of the Porsche, waiting for people to get off from the other's car.

A few seconds later, the other party's car "clicked" and the door opened.

A somewhat bloated man got out of the car, wearing a dark brown windbreaker and a dark brown cowboy hat on his head.

As for the face under the brim of the hat, although it is covered by a black mask, just by looking at the exposed part, one can guess that it is a middle-aged man with an unattractive appearance.

His hands naturally hang down on both sides of his body, and the palms of his hands can't reach the line of his trousers. The overall look is a bit naive, like a fat penguin with limited mobility.

Seeing that such a man is actually the one that the boss said saved Belmode from the FBI, both Gin and Vodka frowned slightly, feeling a little inconceivable.

This figure is not the same as vodka's burly body. Although it is not obese, it is definitely a lack of exercise.

And the driving skills are also horrible.

The only thing worth mentioning is his height, which is about the same height as Gin.

"Big brother..."

Vodka glanced at the gin, he couldn't believe that the person in front of him was the person he had arranged to meet suddenly in the middle of the night.

This person doesn't look awesome, and it's impossible for him to do a shitty thing through the FBI alone.

Facing the younger brother's doubts, Qin Jiu also had the same doubts in his heart.

If this person is not the connector, I will not hesitate to take out the pistol in my pocket and shoot this person in the head.

Anyway, here is the wilderness, if you kill someone and leave, no one will be able to track down.

"Where is that woman?"

Gin asked first, and his cold voice broke the silence.

The middle-aged man on the opposite side paused, then suddenly reached into his pocket.

This sensitive action caused a stress reaction to the gin and vodka, and they quickly reached out for their guns and pointed them at them.

But when the other party took out something, it was just a palm-sized black notepad.

The middle-aged man wrote a few strokes in a notepad and showed it to gin and vodka.

Taking advantage of the faint moonlight, Gin and Vodka squinted their eyes and saw the crooked words on it.

【People in the trunk】

Seeing this sentence, Gin turned his head and motioned for vodka.

Vodka quickly put away the pistol, ran to the trunk behind the white car, opened it, and there was indeed a woman curled up inside, with a delicate face that was easily recognizable.

"Brother! It's Belmode!"

When Gin heard it, he also put away his gun, went to the trunk to check, and confirmed that it was Belmode. He held him out with a big hand.

Vodka watched as he personally picked up Belmode's gin, swallowed, and followed behind.

Opening the rear door of the Porsche 356A, Gin stuffed Belmode in, and sat in the front passenger seat himself.

"Vodka, drive fast."

Vodka was very obedient, started the car, reversed the car fluently, turned, and fled the scene at the speed of light.

Wait for the middle-aged man to finish writing [What about that thing? 】, and when it was displayed, the Porsche 356A had already driven away.

Looking at the bare road, the naive middle-aged man was flustered by the wind.

……

In the Porsche 356A, Qin Zhibo looked at Belmode who was still unconscious next to him, feeling extremely angry.

Gin, the grandson, doesn't mention "fragments" at all!
Take Belmode and run away, completely ignoring Minase Harumi!
The middle-aged man who traded with gin was none other than Harumi Minase driving the "Qin Jibo", and with some small decorations, he turned into that naive look.

But I didn't expect that Qinjiu would actually treat others like a fool.

But during the previous conversation about the gin and vodka in the car, Qin Zhibo guessed that maybe the boss didn't tell them about the "Parnest Fragments".

The original words of the Boss should just ask Gin to bring Belmode back to the agreed place.

As for the method used, whether it is a normal transaction or a robbery, it is up to you.

So when Gin asked whether Vodka wanted to silence him, Gin replied "it depends".

The so-called "depending on the situation" is to see whether the other party cooperates.

It has to be said that the boss's calculation is really good, no wonder he agreed so decisively at the beginning, it turns out that this is basically a deal for him with no profit.

A thief!

But fortunately, Qin Zhibo didn't completely expect the boss of an evil organization to abide by the agreement, and his original plan was to use Michael's identity to make a deal with Belmode.

"Brother, where are you going now?"

"Send this woman to 'the Lord'."

As he spoke, Gin glanced at Michael in the back seat, the boss's confidant.

Seeing that Michael didn't indicate that he wanted to go with him, he didn't take it with him.

After all, it was quite stupid to pierce the Jin Yiwei beside him in front of the emperor.

When the Porsche 356A arrived in the city, Gin let Vodka find a wayside, and put Qin Zhibo down.

But before getting out of the car, Qin Zhibo had already pasted a [Famous Detective's Bug] on Belmod's body.

……

Back at the detective agency, Qin Zhibo, who had been busy all day, was already exhausted, so he quickly took a shower and got ready for bed.

Minase Harumi also drove Matsumoto Ryohei's car at this time, and drove home slowly.

Since Tulpa is shaped by the knowledge of many believers, Minase Harumi can drive, but he is not so proficient because he has not actually operated it.

"That long-haired man was very malicious! I was almost scared to death!"

Yang Meng complained about Qin Jiu to Qin Zhibo, but she didn't know that Qin Jiu really wanted to kill her at that time.

But even if she is killed, there is no such thing as death for a ghost, and "Qin Jibo" is a decoy doll, born to die.

"No! Uncle! You must make it up to me!"

"You are a ghost, what are you afraid of a human being?"

"I don't care, I want compensation!"

The girl's ghost is constantly circling in the air, similar to the rolling of a human child.

Qin Zhibo said a few words of comfort, and increased the free time to two and a half hours a day, which made up for the trauma of Minase Harumi's heart.

After dealing with these, Qin Zhibo can sleep peacefully.

……

At noon, Qin Zhibo woke up from the warm bed.

The first thing to do when you wake up is to listen to the movements of Belmode.

However, there was silence.

Listen carefully, there seems to be a low whine of the engine, it should be a car.

In order to pay attention to when Belmode saw the boss, Qin Zhibo forced himself to wake up several times while sleeping, and listened to the movement over there.

But several times it was the sound of cars.

Qin Zhibo came downstairs, fed Jerry some melon seeds, then took out rice balls from the refrigerator, sat at his desk, and turned on the computer.

Playing "Akai Wuwu" yesterday, although he deceived Akai Shuichi, there was one thing that made Qin Zhibo a little concerned.

Akai Shuichi said last night, "Is this related to the case you left home 17 years ago to investigate?"

Qin Zhibo only knew that Wuwu Akai disappeared a long time ago, but he didn't know the specific time and reason.

This time, through Akai Hideichi's inadvertent disclosure, I finally know some clues.

17 years ago, investigating the case.

These two points reveal two pieces of information respectively.

The first is to investigate the case. If Takeshi Akai can investigate the case, it means that this person's job should also be related to detectives.

There may be official detectives, or unofficial detectives.

In addition, at this time point 17 years ago, Qin Zhibo felt a little familiar, as if he had heard it somewhere.

Qin Zhibo opened the browser's search history, browsed and rummaged through it one by one.

Until such a piece of information came into view——Amanda Hughes biography.

Qin Zhibo once investigated this person's information. She appeared in the Antarctic expedition notes of Mr. Mamiya, and she was the main sponsor of the Antarctic expedition of Miskatonic University in 1931.

After that Antarctic expedition ended, the Amanda Foundation founded by her took away the important biological samples of the expedition, that is, the few dead ancients.

Since one of Qin Zhibo's main tasks is to meet the ancients with his own eyes, he must first find Amanda Hughes.

But Amanda was killed 17 years ago at the age of 83.

This clue was cut off at this point, but Qin Zhibo learned another important clue in a conversation with Randy Hawk of the Randy Hawk Circus not long ago.

Amanda Hughes, ostensibly an American capitalist, is secretly the daughter of one of the nine founders of the Nine Angels.

Is the Amanda Hughes case 17 years ago the case Gotake Akai wants to investigate?
Qin Zhibo suddenly thought of another key name, which was "Koji Haneda".

Koji Haneda was a Japanese shogi player who died at the same time as Amanda Hughes, but Qin Zhibo didn't pay attention to this person before.

But if you think of Gotake Akai, you have to think of another person in the photo of the three of them in Hawaii, Yasuharu Haneda.

Haneda Koji and Haneda Yasuharu have the same surname, plus this special time node 17 years ago...

It seems a bit of a coincidence.

Could it be such a coincidence?
Qin Zhibo entered "Koji Haneda" in the browsing box again, searched, and several related webpages popped up.

Koji Haneda, the four-time shogi champion, the genius shogi player who was the closest to the seven-time champion, went to the United States to participate in a chess tournament out of interest 17 years ago, and died in his hotel room the night before the game.

These are the information that Qin Zhibo has searched before, and the content is nothing special.

But this time, there are some more content that I haven't seen before.

[The hotel where Koji Haneda was staying was called "JUKE", and his room was quite messy.When he was killed, it seems that Haneda also resisted, but the direct cause of death is unknown]

Below this message, the creator of the web page seemed to have something to say, and posted Amanda's message below.

[On the same day, the American capitalist Amanda Hughes was killed in another room of the same hotel, the same cause of death remains a mystery]

[Amanda is a loyal fan of Haneda, and the two had communicated before.After that day, the personal bodyguard brought by Amanda has never been seen again]

[So the police regard Amanda's bodyguard named "Asagi" as the most important suspect and track down his whereabouts, but there is still no news]

The above is the entire content of the webpage, which is the information that Qin Zhibo has searched before, but has not seen.

If it is assumed that this is the case that Gotake Akai investigated 17 years ago, Koji Haneda should be the son of Yasuharu Haneda.

It is possible that Haneda Yasuharu asked Akai Wuwu to investigate this case, after all, this case is still a case without a case.

As for why not ask "myself", the original owner of the body 17 years ago should still be in college and does not meet this requirement.

This logic seems to make sense.

But regarding this case, what Qin Zhibo didn't understand was that this webpage seemed to be created by someone recently.

17 years ago, shogi celebrities still have their own web pages, which is very strange in itself.

After all, this case happened 17 years ago, and it didn't happen in Japan. How could anyone still pay attention to it?

Moreover, this person posted the information of this case on the Internet in batches in a short period of time, which is also very suspicious.

There are two possibilities. One is that this person is still investigating the case and publishes what he investigates on the Internet every time.

The other is that this person has known all the secrets for a long time, but chooses to slowly publish the contents of the case on the Internet.

Who is this guy?
If this person is found, maybe the case will make great progress.

Qin Zhibo thought for a while, if he used the power of "Noah's Ark", he should be able to track down the person who released the information.

But "Noah's Ark" is still in the hands of "Green Signal". Qin Zhibo commissioned Suzuki Sonoko to use the software obtained from Itakura Taku to restart the "Cocoon" game console, but there is no news yet.

Even if Suzuki Sonoko notifies himself that it is ready, he has not bought [Sword of Oath Keeper] on his side, and dare not easily enter the game world controlled by the "green signal".

The price of the Oathkeeper Sword is 12000 general proficiency, which allows the Oathkeeper to gain the ability to cut through demons and heretics.

But during this period of time, I have been busy jumping back and forth between the organization and the FBI, and have no time to follow the "Reaper Group", so the proficiency is currently only 2873.

It seems that it is time to follow the "group"...

Just when Qin Zhibo was thinking about when he would have an "accidental" encounter with Conan, the voice in his ears finally changed.

The car engine shuts off and the door opens.

Up the steps, the footsteps of other people came up.

After more than a minute of footsteps, Belmode's voice sounded in a somewhat empty place.

"I'm back, Boss."

After two seconds, an old voice sounded slowly.

"...you're back, Sharon..."

"The mother of the child."
