The Grammatical Investigator in Conan

After reading these legends spread in the coastal areas of Japan, Qin Zhibo had no feelings at all.

The only thing that made Qin Zhibo somewhat concerned was the mention of Miskatonic in the second legend.

This unknown foreign university is the university where the original owner of Qin Zhibo's body once studied.

Unexpectedly, the archeology class of this university was able to conduct archaeological research in Japan in the last century.

It shows that the foundation of this university is quite good.

But apart from that, Qin Zhibo believes that the content of these legends has nothing to do with the main mission he is currently undertaking.

Because the scope of the main mission this time is still in Tokyo, and the three legends above took place in Chiba Prefecture, Hokkaido, and Fukui Prefecture respectively.

If we were to investigate these three places, it would definitely exceed the geographical scope required by the mission.

So the only breakthrough in the investigation was the distorted photo of the statue.

On the back of the photo of the statue is written a name, Akutsu Masaki.

There is no encyclopedia of people on the Internet in this era. It is really difficult to actively search for information about a person, even if that person is a well-known figure who has made great achievements in a certain field.

So Qin Zhibo handed over the difficult task of finding names to Matsumoto Ryohei.

After all, Matsumoto Ryohei's character card has data search skills on it. It would be a pity if such a great tool is not used.

More than half an hour later, the mobile phone rang, and Matsumoto Ryohei's voice came from the other side of the phone.

found it?

Well, the Akutsu Matake you are looking for is a well-known sculptor.

Qin Zhibo was not surprised, after all, the sculpture in the photo was his work.

But the next second, Matsumoto Ryohei's words made Qin Zhibo's heart skip a beat.

But the other person is dead.

died?

Yes, he died four years ago.

On the other side of the phone, Matsumoto Ryohei held a small note that he had owned since his days as a housekeeper. The beautiful handwriting on it recorded the information found in the library newspaper.

Akutsu Masaki was once known as a national treasure-level modern carving master, especially famous for his dragon and tiger sculptures.

However, it is said that his physical condition was extremely poor in his later years and he also suffered from some kind of mental illness. He died of illness in Qingshan Mental Hospital four years ago.

People died.

Then investigate a hammer?

According to the information found from the homes of Tanaka and Yu, the only possible investigation point within Tokyo is to find this Akutsu Matake.

But now that people are dead, I wouldn't dig their graves.

Or go to the mental hospital where he lived?

And the most terrifying thing is that once the main task cannot be completed, the task itself has no time limit for completion.

What if it was a system that could only carry out one main task at a time? Wouldn't this main task be stuck for a lifetime?

Just when Qin Zhibo felt that it was a little difficult to proceed with the main mission, Matsumoto Ryohei's voice came out again on the other side of the phone.

Although Akutsu Matake is dead, his son is still active in the sculpture world.

His son?

Yes, his son's name is Akutsujo, and he has a sculpture studio in Tokyo.

I can give you the phone number of this studio if you need it.

need!

Then record it, the phone number is 801——

After hanging up the phone, Matsumoto Ryohei put the small notes back into his inner pocket and returned to the reading room of the library.

Old Japanese newspapers are displayed on the table in the reading room.

Among them, in the 1980 newspaper at the top, the largest main page has a striking headline.

Natural disaster or man-made disaster? Many domestic artists have gone crazy! 》

After getting the phone number of the sculpture studio, Qin Zhibo dialed it directly, but the person who answered the phone was Akutsu Makoto's student.

Teacher Akutsu didn't come to the studio today, and we don't know where he went.

Can you give me his home phone number?

Okay, the phone number is 474——

OK, thanks.

The phone was hung up, and Akutsu Makoto's disciple on the other side was stunned in place, scratching his head in confusion.

Why should I give my teacher’s home phone number to a stranger for no reason?

Qin Zhibo now has social skills (speaking skills), and after more than a week of question and answer training, his proficiency has reached level 2.

With level 2 social skills (speaking skills), as long as the information is not very private, or when you meet someone who is not strict with your words, you can answer questions.

But compared to Conan's talent for answering questions, Qin Zhibo is still far behind.

Qin Zhibo used his mobile phone to call Ajiu Jincheng's home phone number.

waiting

Click

This is the sound of the answering machine starting up, indicating that the call on the other side is not answered.

I am a reporter from the Tokyo Daily News. I have something to talk to Mr. Akutsu Makoto. Please call me back as soon as you hear the message.

After hanging up the phone, Qin Zhibo could only wait patiently.

For a whole afternoon, Qin Zhibo did not receive a call back, but a rare customer came to the office.

The content of the commission is more troublesome, it is to find a missing cat.

There was no way, Qin Zhibo could only say that he had no time today.

If your cat has a strong ability to survive in the wild, can I start looking for it tomorrow?

After hearing this, the customer was certainly not happy, stood up and walked out.

Really, if it weren't for the fact that there was no one in the detective agency next door, I wouldn't be here.

Bang!

The customer slammed the door angrily and left, and Qin Zhibo could only shrug helplessly.

However, Qin Zhibo could probably guess that the detective agency next door mentioned by the customer was the Maori Detective Agency.

Although it is read as a detective agency, Qin Zhibo once went there for on-site inspection, and the word on the window is Maori Detective Agency.

Since there is no one at the Mouri Detective Agency, it means that Mouri Kogoro is out doing activities today.

For some reason, Qin Zhibo had a bad feeling in his heart.

At around five o'clock in the evening, Qin Zhibo finally received a call from Ajiuzincheng's family.

The person who called back was Akutsu Makoto's wife, saying that she was at the beauty salon all afternoon, so she didn't know there was a call from home.

You want to find Acheng now, but he won't be home all day today~

Where did you go?

When I got up in the morning, I heard that he was going to Mr. Marunuki's house today. I don't know when he will be back~

address?

Why don't you come and sit at my house first? He should be back before tonight.

.

Well, the address of Maru Denjiro's family is XXX, Mihua Town.

After hanging up the phone, Qin Zhibo breathed a sigh of relief.

The voice on the other side of the phone was very artificial, and judging by the thickness of the voice, you could tell it was an old lady.

Originally, Qin Zhibo wanted to go to Akutsu Makoto's home address and wait until Akutsu Makoto came back to talk about his father, Akutsu Masaki.

But when he thought that he would have to stay in the same room with an old lady who spoke artificially for who knows how long, Qin Zhibo felt that he had better not go to someone else's house.

If Akutsu Makoto's family relationship is not harmonious, and if Akutsu Makoto comes back and he misunderstands that he is doing something sleazy with his wife, then it will be absolutely impossible to ask Akutsu Makoto to help.

After all, after taking care of himself in the mirror today, Qin Zhibo found that he looked more handsome again.
