Conan's grammatical investigator

Chapter 928 Not my race, their hearts must be different

Although the grown-up man in the driver's seat was wearing sunglasses, Qin Zhibo still recognized his signature natural curls.

The image of the brain in a vat is the image of this "person".

Then this "person" must not be human...

But why did MI-Go bring the Detective Boys?

And judging by the expressions of the children in the car, they didn't look like they were kidnapped, but came here voluntarily.

Qin Zhibo had doubts in his heart, but he couldn't get too close.

The MI-GO family has telepathic ability, as long as human beings get too close, their existence will be discovered.

Qin Zhibo squatted quietly in the distance, as if he was here to take a shit, but in fact he was quietly observing the situation in the car through the trees in the forest.

After a while, the white car started, carrying a car full of children towards the direction of the Angel's Pavilion.

With the participation of the youth free gift group, Qin Zhibo can't stay out of the matter now, and hastened towards the direction of the Angel's Pavilion.

……

On the other side, Mr. Clock parked the car and took the young detective team directly to the middle building of the manor.

"The building under the Southern Angel over there is called the South Pavilion, and it is the place where the master took his last breath..."

"The one to the west is called the West Pavilion, where the master handles his daily work..."

"The one to the north is called the North Pavilion, where the servants and children live..."

Along the way, Mr. Clock introduced the purpose of each building to several people, like a serious tour guide.

Hui Yuanai looked back at the building located in the east, and asked, "Why is only the building on the east side like a haunted house?"

Compared with the pavilions in other directions, the east pavilion is the only one that lacks care, and looks dilapidated in appearance.

Conan noticed this abnormality on the hillside, and turned his head to wait for Mr. Clock's answer.

But Mr. Clock stared at the Dongfang Pavilion, and his thoughts under the sunglasses seemed to pause for a few seconds before giving an answer.

"Maybe I forgot..."

Ok?
Conan frowned at such a vague answer, feeling suspicious.

It's fine if you miss a piece of lawn. How can you forget to clean a building so big?
Is that place related to the mystery of Isekawa Gozo's will?
Conan glanced at the East Pavilion, silently remembering it in his heart.

Moving on, Mr. Zhong fell silent and stopped introducing.

And the three little ones are just like Grandma Liu entering the Grand View Garden, walking around and looking around, and sometimes exclaiming that she has never seen the world.

Yuriko Matsunaka was a little cautious and cautious.

In contrast, Conan and Haibara Ai, who have seen the world, are very peaceful.

But even compared to ordinary rich people, this "Isekawa Gozo" is exaggerated enough.

There are statues of cows on every lawn in the Angel Pavilion. The cows in various postures are either standing or lying on the grass, which is a bit weird.

"Wow! What is that?"

Ayumi looked at the Tauren statue several meters high and let out a sound of admiration.

Conan turned his gaze, and Ke Pu said, "That's a Minotaur, a legendary monster whose body is half of a cow and half of his body is a cow."

Conan's science popularization is not complete, and Haibara Ai next to him added a sentence.

"He's not called 'Monster,' he's called Minotaur."

"He was born only after his father Minos was punished by Poseidon, the god of the sea, and his brutal nature is beyond his control. He is just a chess piece used by the gods..."

Three little ones: "?"

There was something in Haibara Ai's words, and Conan couldn't help showing that expression again.

(￢￢) Ha, here we go again...

At this moment, there was a sudden noise in the valley.

thump——

After the sound of a large-scale equipment switching on, several beams of light suddenly lit up in the evening sky.

At the angel positions in the southeast and northwest, four super-powerful searchlights began to work.

Although no one is operating it, all the lights can operate automatically, and the bright beams of light sweep back and forth in the valley.

"This is one of the security systems installed by the master during his lifetime. When the sun goes down, the system will automatically start to operate." Mr. Clock explained.

Hui Yuanai turned his head and asked, "Even if Mr. Isekawa passed away, should we continue?"

"Yes." Mr. Clock's answer was short.

Everyone looked around again, only to find that with the activation of the security system, the atmosphere of the entire Angel Pavilion suddenly changed.

Those four kind angels, under the light from a single angle, one side exudes a strange light of iron green, and the other side is completely hidden in the darkness, kindness and benevolence are gone, and the rest is only eerie.

It was getting dark, and the Detective Boys didn't want to stay outside any longer, so they rushed into the central building.

And in the rear of the young detective team, Qin Zhibo was also looking up at the surroundings.

Now he knew where the so-called "pillar of light" on the website came from.

Maybe there used to be people standing guard 24 hours a day in this place, but now they're all gone.

From the level of maintenance of these buildings, staff such as servants and servants should have just been dismissed.

It is likely that MI-Go replaced "Yoshito Matsunaka" and used this person's identity to dismiss all staff.

As for why it did this, it is likely that it is worried that people around it will find its flaws and hinder its plan.

Qin Zhibo crouched for a moment, saw the Conan team in front enter the building in the middle, and then followed up himself.

Near the edge of the building, he cast [Guardian Totem].

This allows you to see what's going on inside without having to enter the building.

But even so, Qin Zhibo still didn't dare to leave too far for the safety of the young detective team.

……

Under the leadership of Mr. Clock, the Detective Boys and Yuriko Matsunaka entered the building.

As soon as you enter the building, the first thing you see is a huge bronze statue of a cow.

"what--"

Ayumi was startled by the huge bronze statue of a bull, and Genta and Mitsuhiko quickly stretched out their big pig's hooves to protect Ayumi.

Matsunaka Yuriko also looked at the bronze statue in front of her in disbelief, and asked weakly, "Did my mother really live in this kind of place?"

Facing Yuriko Matsunaka's question, Mr. Zhong turned his head and introduced himself as if he didn't hear it.

"This is the Mansion of the Bull, the fifth mansion built in the center of the hinterland of the Angel's Mansion."

Yuriko Matsunaka: "..."

Conan looked up at the almost three-story cow, and was quite surprised.

He, who is well-informed, can tell at a glance that this bull statue is completely scaled up according to the same proportion as the bronze bull statue on Wall Street in New York.

To actually have the courage to place such a sculpture at home, it seems that he has made a lot of money through stock trading.

This made Conan more interested in the puzzles in the will, and turned to Mr. Clock and asked, "This uncle named 'Clock', can you tell us the puzzles that Yuriko's great-grandfather explained?"

Mr. Clock stopped where he was, thought for a moment, and nodded with his mouth raised.

"can."

"I am now announcing the content of the puzzle for you, please listen carefully."

"When the horns on the bull's head disappear and the tail becomes a head, an angel will come down from the sky and sound the horn, and the tune will be where the treasure is."

Mr. Zhong announced the content of the riddle seriously. Mitsuhiko, who likes to record, quickly took out his small notebook, and recorded the riddle by repeating it in his mouth.

Conan looked down at his watch, it was 6:30 in the evening, and he had 24 hours to solve the puzzle from now on.

Silently recording the time in his heart, Conan looked up at Mr. Clock again, but found that he himself did not record the time.

Isn't it 24 hours of puzzle solving time?Doesn't he, as executor, record the time separately?

At this time, Mr. Clock announced another thing.

"Okay, everyone."

"Humans cannot concentrate on thinking without a full stomach. I have prepared some food for you."

"Please follow me..."

Hearing that it was time to eat, Yuan Tai shouted "Okay!".

Several people followed Mr. Clock and walked in the direction of the North Pavilion.

……

At the same time, Qin Zhibo, who was hiding not far away, suddenly released the [Guard Totem] vision, his eyes full of disbelief.

he heard...

When Conan asked about the content of the puzzle just now, Qin Zhibo clearly heard the man called "Clock".

And the girl with the twin tails also called him "Mr. Clock".

Isn't that the name of Mr. Clock!

It's just that one is in Japanese and the other is in English.

The Mi-GO family has no vocal organs such as mouths, and race communication relies on telepathy, so there is no need for a name.

The first time Qin Zhibo met Mr. Clock was in the thieves' villa full of clocks.

It took as its name the first thing it saw at the time, the clock.

This MI-GO also uses "Clock" as its code name, and Qin Zhibo's intuition told him that this is Mr. Clock.

Apart from this point, Qin Zhibo is quite familiar with the way of using humans to solve puzzles.

The last piece of Panest was hidden by the boss of the Thieves Group.

Mr. Clock didn't understand the human thinking mode, so he relied on Qin Zhibo to find out the fragment.

This time it seems that Mr. Clock is repeating his old tricks, wanting to use humans to solve their own mysteries, but just happened to find the Boys Detective Team.

Although the Detective Boys are very good at giving free money, they have indeed solved a lot of cases during this period and gained some reputation.

In addition, Mr. Clock may think that a group of children is easier to control, even if he uses the children to find what he wants, he can easily snatch it away.

Unexpectedly, this old boy secretly learned to drive during this period of time...

Mr. Clock has no concept of human cars because of the flying characteristics of the race.

During the last Parnest fragment puzzle, the leader of the thieves group hid the fragment in the car, but Mr. Clock never found it.

Because of this, Qin Zhibo was not sure at first that the MI-GO who could only drive was Mr. Clock.

But now it seems that Mr. Clock probably realized that not being able to drive is one of his weaknesses after the last time, so he deliberately mastered the driving skills.

As for Mr. Clock's desire to use the Boy Detective Team to solve the puzzle, it is definitely not aimed at Isekawa Gozo's legacy.

What he wants are Panest fragments!

Mr. Clock told himself earlier that the last half of the Panest fragment was in the hands of the leader's favorite woman.

In the end, it came to Isekawa Gozo to look for Panest fragments?

Qin Zhibo thought for a while and realized something.

This alien grandson wants to plot against himself!

Before, he wondered why there were two identical half-pieces of Panest.

But now it seems that the last half of the Panest fragment is actually one real and one fake!
Qin Zhibo guessed that the information Mr. Clock got in Arkham should be that "the leader's woman has a fake fragment, and Isekawa Gozo has a real fragment".

Mr. Clock sent himself to take the fake fragments, but it quietly concealed the existence of the real fragments, with the purpose of plotting against itself when it went to Enkai.

Although Qin Zhibo still doesn't know the specific method of using Panest fragments, as long as fake fragments are used, accidents will definitely happen!

It seems that what the ancestors said is correct, it really is not my race, their hearts must be different...

After a while, Qin Zhibo calmed down.

He reviewed his grievances and grievances with Mr. Clock, and it was not surprising that he had the idea of ​​plotting against him.

Before, under the guidance of the king in yellow, he had ruined the base of the MI-GO race, probably at that time the relationship between the two had already been forged.

But since you made the move first, don't blame me for being rude!
……

On the other side, everyone followed Mr. Zhong to the North Pavilion, which is where everyone lives tonight.

It didn't take long for the exquisite dishes to be pushed out by the dining car, and Mr. Zhong personally served everyone on the table.

At this point, Conan also confirmed that there are indeed no other staff members in the Angel's Pavilion.

But he didn't think much about it. This might be a deliberate arrangement for the fair execution of the will.

"I'm gonna start now!"

With an order, Yuan Tai took the lead in starting and began to feast.

The other children were more reserved, using Western-style knives and forks skillfully or unskillfully.

Mr. Clock stood at the door with his hands behind his back, watching all this silently with a blank face.

Conan, who noticed this, looked back and asked, "Mr. Clock, don't you eat?"

Mr. Clock shook his head, meaning "don't eat", but did not answer the reason.

Soon, Yuantai wiped out all the food in his area like a storm, and greedily asked the clock for it.

"Uncle Clock, bring me another steak!"

"There are also sweet buns, which are so delicious, I want to eat them again! It's better to have another basket!"

Faced with Yuan Tai's reasonable request, Mr. Zhong shook his head and refused, explaining solemnly.

"Appropriate eating is good for thinking, but excessive eating will cause blood to flow into the stomach too much, causing brain ischemia and hypoxia, reducing people's thinking ability and stimulating drowsiness."

Such an answer moved Haibara Ai's DNA, who is a doctor of biomedicine, and looked at Mr. Clock in surprise.

And Conan was also a little surprised by this answer.

Unexpectedly, as the executor of the will, this "clock" actually takes care of the respondents in such a way that even the impact of food on the brain is included.

He really, I cried to death!
On the other side, Yuantai's request was not met, so he could only put his hands on his big belly and stare at the empty dinner plate resentfully.

Seeing this, Matsunaka Yuriko directly pushed the half-eaten steak and the remaining buns towards Yuantai.

"Eat mine, I'm full..."

Yuan Tai was overjoyed when he heard it, "Really? That's great!"

But when Yuantai got up to get the food on the table, Mr. Clock came over with a stride and grabbed Yuantai's wrist.

"Feel sorry."

"I said I couldn't eat it, but I just couldn't eat it."
