Conan's grammatical investigator

Chapter 924 Indistinguishable Clues
Toshiko Bessho, who was taken away for extortion and homicide, was taken into a police car by Henggou Sango.

Besides her, Sanzhi Chaoxiang was also taken away for investigation.

But the crime she committed was not serious, and she should be released soon.

At that time, whether mother and child can be reunited or continue to live separately depends on what Suanchuan Kazuki thinks.

……

The next day, in the morning.

Kiankawa Kazuki was picked up first by someone sent by the brokerage company, and Mori Kogoro took the opportunity to ask the brokerage company about the commission fee.

After the brokerage company learned what had happened, it was very generous and paid a commission fee of 20 yen.

This is the standard price for a famous detective of Mori Kogoro's class to go out for a trip. It's not cheap, but it's not deceiving.

However, compared to the 2000 million stolen money that the brokerage company can recover, paying this commission fee is not worth mentioning.

On the other hand, in order to maintain the image of Kinukawa Kazuki, the brokerage company paid 2000 million without hesitation, which also shows how much money the company made by relying on the child star.

After getting the commission fee, Mori Kogoro made a very generous move.

Not only did he generously settle everyone's hotel expenses, but he also invited Qin Zhibo to have a big meal in the restaurant.

In the afternoon, a few people took the Shinkansen back to Tokyo, and Kogoro Mori paid for the fare.

On the train, Qin Zhibo kept wondering if Conan could trigger another case, but the journey was safe.

But on the way, Qin Zhibo received a call from Belmode.

Belmode didn't say much, just said that she found the "fragment", but it was inconvenient for her to come out now, so she could only send someone to put the thing in one place.

"Underground locker at Kubato Kanabashi Station, locker No. 304, code 0304..."

Belmode's tone was a little weak, and Qin Zhibo didn't ask, but simply replied "Got it".

……

Back in Tokyo, Qin Zhibo said goodbye to the Mori family, went back to the office first, and then rushed to Kubado Town immediately.

Sudo Kanabashi Station, a somewhat familiar place name.

This is the place where Conan used to replace Itakura Taku and traded gin and vodka with the black organization.

However, the station was still under construction at that time, and it has now been completed.

After observing around the station for a while, taking advantage of the evening rush hour at the station, Qin Zhibo put on a disguised face and followed him to the locker room at the station.

This used to be the place where Gin opened the "Conan Blind Box", but the lockers hadn't been locked at that time.

Now that the project is completed, each locker is equipped with a high-tech four-digit combination lock. The rule is that if you enter the wrong number three times, it will be locked, and you must apply for a staff member to open it.

After going around the door twice, the hesitant Qin Zhibo decided to send "Qin Jibo" to fetch things for him.

In a cubicle in the toilet, Qin Zhibo released the bait doll, and summoned Harumi Minase to possess it.

"The cabinet is No. 304, the password is 0304, remember?"

"I remember..." Minase Harumo nodded, then squinted her eyes with suspicion, "But uncle, do you often send me to do some dangerous work?"

Qin Zhibo was taken aback by these words.

So you just found out?
"It doesn't matter, right? Anyway, you are now an invulnerable, invulnerable ghost..."

"It does matter! This beautiful girl is also afraid!"

"..."

Qin Zhibo thought for a while, and decided to put it another way, "Then aren't you afraid of losing me?"

"If I die, no one will be able to let you out for a ride in the future. You can only be locked in another world forever, and you will never be able to come to this world~"

Qin Zhibo's tone was obviously inducing.

But Minase Harumi really believed it, and she was indeed more afraid of losing the only human being who could talk to her now.

She had already learned about Matsumoto Ryohei's disappearance from Qin Zhibo.

"Well, beautiful girls won't get hurt, so I don't have to be afraid!"

"Yes, that's right. As the saying goes, with great power comes great responsibility..."

Under Qin Zhibo's flickering, Minase Harumeng overcame his psychological barriers and firmly assumed the important task of "Death Squad".

Of course, she is not alone on the road to Huangquan, and her good brother - "Qin Jibo" will accompany her.

Qin Zhibo put his own human skin mask on the face of "Qin Jibo", and Minase Harumi was attached to it, and slowly left the toilet cubicle.

The reason why Minase Harumo was asked to explore the way was that Qin Zhibo was worried that there would be "explosions" in the locker, bombs exploding.

Even if that one locker doesn't contain it, the other lockers may contain remote-controlled bombs.

Just now Qin Zhibo observed at the door of the storage room. There is public monitoring in the room. Remote monitoring + control bombs can be exploded at fixed times.

Belmode may not do anything for the safety of Conan and Mao Lilan, it is better to be careful.

After waiting for about 5 minutes, there was no explosion sound from the storage room next door. Harumi Minase drove "Qin Jibo" back to the toilet cubicle safely.

Qin Zhibo hurriedly asked: "Did you get the things?"

Minase Harumo took out a flannel bag from his pocket, "There's only this in the cabinet."

The flannel bag is not big, and it can't hold a bomb in it, at most it can hold a firecracker.

Opening the mouth of the flannel bag, Qin Zhibo poured out a black fragment from it.

This is a black fragment that is suspected to be made of basalt. It looks like a long triangle cut from the middle of a rhombus, with a dark green fluorescent substance in the middle.

Is this it?
Qin Zhibo's brain vaguely recalled the scene when Mr. Clock got the Panest fragment for the first time.

That fragment is similar to this one except for its shape and size.

Since Belmode didn't know the so-called "Parnest fragments", Qin Zhibo described to her the general appearance of the fragments.

But even if you know the general appearance, you shouldn't be able to customize it in such a short period of time, right?
And it's so similar...

After thinking about it, Qin Zhibo felt that the fragment provided by Belmode was real.

Putting the pieces away, Qin Zhibo took the subway directly and returned to Mihua.

……

Sitting on the bench in the office, Qin Zhibo played with the fragment in his hands, thinking about the future.

The fragments are now assembled.

As long as Mr. Clock gets the fragment from Karl of the Arkham Success Club, he can go to Enkai.

According to Koizumi Hongzi's family magic book, Enkai is an abyss in the underground world "Kunyang", inhabited by a toad god "Satogua".

Legend has it that Satogua will endow the magicians who arrive there with a powerful magic that transcends time and space, and it is a holy place that magicians flock to.

Of course, in these long years, only the great magician Eibon has ever arrived there and returned safely.

Koizumi Hongzi's mother also went to the abyss many years ago, but she has not returned yet.

Therefore, Koizumi Hongzi will also go to Enkai with Qin Zhibo this time.

Although he had to go to Enkai to complete a very important main task, but now that the conditions were basically met, Qin Zhibo felt a little troubled.

Kunyang is no better than the ground, it is a brand new world, and the people living in it are not even considered human beings.

And Enkai is a dangerous place, where the "true god" lives.

Qin Zhibo has seen two true gods so far, one is the "King in Yellow Clothes" and the other is "Baron Samedi".

Fortunately, the images of these two gods are both human beings, so their own willpower can resist them.

If it was the "God of Toad", Qin Zhibo could hardly imagine what kind of god it would be.

A gigantic toad?
I'm afraid it's not that simple...

In addition to the sinister external environment, Mr. Clock is also an object that has to be guarded against.

So far, Qin Zhibo still doesn't know the purpose of Mr. Clock's trip to Abyss Enkai.

Mi-GO is a race that advocates technology very much. Although it also has faith, it doesn't seem to be a race that supports magic.

Moreover, under the secret guidance of the king in yellow, Qin Zhibo plotted against the secret base of the Mi-GO family in Shenpu City.

Although Mr. Clock did not pursue this matter, Qin Zhibo always felt that something was wrong.

Although Mr. Clock is an alien and doesn't understand human thinking patterns, it doesn't mean he's a fool.

On the contrary, Mr. Clock has a high IQ, can highly simulate human beings, and has lived in human society for a long time without being discovered...

So this trip can be said to be a matter of internal and external troubles, and if you are a little careless, you may never come back again.

At this moment, Qin Zhibo's thinking was interrupted by a short phone ringing.

Ding.

It only rang once, indicating that it was a text message.

But Qin Zhibo rummaged around, and there was no text message notification on the two mobile phones.

That is……

Qin Zhibo quickly opened the drawer and took out Belmode's phone.

Open the cover, it turned out to be a text message from the boss!
【The piece of Panest you want is in Isekawa Gozo's hands】

what?
Qin Zhibo frowned as he looked at the content of the text message.

Is the fragment of Panest in Isekawa Gozo's hands?

But what is in my hand?
Qin Zhibo raised his hand and looked at the Panest fragment in his hand, it was so perfect that it was beyond doubt.

Could it be that Belmode deceived himself and asked someone to make fake fragments?

But the information Mr. Clock gave was that "the fragment is in the hands of a woman who is the leader of the organization's favorite".

Isn't Belmode the most beloved woman of the organization boss?
Gozo Isekawa...

Qin Zhibo feels that this name does not seem to belong to a woman, but to a man.

After thinking for a while, Qin Zhibo turned on the computer in front of him, and searched for the name "Isekawa Gozo" on the Internet.

But I didn't expect that I actually searched for this name.

Isekawa Gozo, who became a leader in the Japanese stock market in the 60s, is a stock investor who quickly accumulated huge wealth by buying and selling stocks.

Because of his decisive and ruthless means of manipulating stocks, his competitors were frightened by the news, so he was called "the bull".

……

Looking at these contents, Qin Zhibo felt a little unbelievable.

Isekawa Gozo is a stock investor, and he does not belong to the "steady type" like Mr. Buffett, but a stock investor who makes a fortune.

It is not difficult to understand that this kind of person has a connection with the organization.

When he first came into contact with the organization and noticed the organization's achievements in the fields of biomedicine and computer, Qin Zhibo knew that if the black organization went public, it would definitely perform very well in the stock market.

In addition, Karasuma Renye is a rich man himself, and Isekawa Gozo may be a younger brother under his control.

It seems that black organizations have been using external puppets to manipulate the stock market since the 60s...

Calculated in this way, Qin Zhibo couldn't even imagine how much wealth the black organization had.

Stock market, art and antiques, scientific research, smuggling, robbery, extortion...

Legal or illegal, as long as it is a job that can make a lot of money, black organizations have no taboos.

Perhaps the wealth accumulated by the black organization far exceeds that of today's No. [-] consortium in Japan, the Suzuki consortium!
The Suzuki Consortium has only been established for 60 years, and the business it does is still legal on the surface, and the speed of accumulating money is completely inferior to that of black organizations.

You must know that 40 years ago, Renye Karasuma already owned a gold annex!
In addition, Renye Karasuma is suspected to be the son of an English earl a hundred years ago, and inherited a fiefdom in the Severn Valley in England, and the wealth is even more unimaginable.

Generally speaking, there is only one word to describe this kind of person - "old monster in the world"

No wonder both the Japanese police and the US FBI are investigating this organization. If any country takes the lead in cracking down on black organizations, it will not only gain immeasurable wealth, but also technology beyond the times.

As the saying goes, a big tree attracts the wind, and Karasuma Renye and the organization he founded are so powerful, Qin Zhibo thinks that the countries that are eyeing this interest may not be limited to Japan and the United States, as well as the MI6 that the boss mentioned last time.

I'm afraid there will be more in the future...

Going back to the issue of fragments, if this "savage bull" Isekawa Gozo is in the text message, it would be very suspicious.

At first, Qin Zhibo thought that the boss didn't intend to keep his promise, but he suddenly told himself the clue.

The clues provided in the boss text message are just different from the clues provided by Mr. Clock.

The source of Mr. Clock's clues should be Carl Sandford, an antique dealer of the Arkham Club, who has half of the Panest fragment in his hand.

Carl Sandford should also be one of the younger brothers of the organization boss, otherwise he would not help the organization recruit new people.

And this Isekawa Gozo may also be the younger brother who helped organize the boss to speculate in stocks.

The two fragments were handed over to the two younger brothers for safekeeping, and it seemed reasonable that Belmode had nothing to do with them.

But if this is the case, it means that Mr. Clock and Belmode jointly lied.

An alien told himself false information, and an old man gave himself fake fragments.

Can these two "people" cooperate so well?
Could it be that Mr. Clock gave her some psychological hints or reached a deal when he operated on Bellmode?

Or is the organization boss lying?
For a moment, Qin Zhibo, who had an intelligence of 80 on the character card, couldn't tell who was lying.

But since the organization boss gave the clue, he still decided to take a look.

Gozo Isekawa...

Qin Zhibo continued to click on other webpages to view related news about Isekawa Gozo, but most of the content was repetitive, telling about his glorious years as a "barbaric bull" in the Japanese stock market.

It wasn't until Qin Zhibo finally found a clue on an anonymous website.

Gozo Isekawa passed away last winter...
