Conan's grammatical investigator

Chapter 1199 Brother-in-law? The scapegoat!

Conan took the photo on the driving certificate and compared it repeatedly with the man lying on the ground, and finally confirmed that this man was the Chiba police officer who had disappeared before.

It's not that Conan is face-blind, but that Chiba's appearance is hugely different from before, and her figure is even more different.

The original Chiba was stronger than Megure. She was out of breath even after jogging for a short distance, and her weight was estimated to be over two hundred kilograms.

Now Chiba has transformed from a fat man into a sunny and handsome guy. He has a good figure and has lost almost 100 pounds.

It has only been less than a month since Chiba disappeared.

Could it be that during the period when "Chiba" was missing, she was concentrating on losing weight?

"Islanders" really pay attention to body management?

But what reason did "Chiba" have to be assassinated by others?

From the outside, he is just an ordinary detective...

And what is the relationship between "Brother-in-law Man" and him? Why do these two people act together?

Also, where is Qin Zhibo, who was planning to take action today?

Conan looked serious, and all the answers could only be revealed when Chiba woke up.

He had a hunch that as long as "Qianye" wakes up, he is likely to reveal clues about the black organization.

In this way, he will have another chance to intervene in the main plot!

And he also caught an "Yisman" by the way!

At this time, the ambulance called by Kamel also drove into the underground garage, its siren echoing in the empty garage.

Judy quickly stood on the side of the road and stopped the ambulance.

The medical staff got out of the car and put Chiba on a stretcher into the ambulance. This trip was not in vain.

The doctor accompanying the car put a respirator mask on Chiba's face and asked the two about their injuries.

This question bothered Judy, because the wound had been bandaged when it came, and she didn't open it to look at it, so naturally she didn't know what the injury was.

But Conan next to him saw this and thought about it.

"It should be a gunshot wound."

"Gunshot wound!"

The policeman next to him was a little shocked.

In addition to the ambulance, the police also came because Kamel also reported the crime.

"Is that a murder case? Immediately notify the headquarters and ask the people from the Search Division to come over!"

These police officers are specifically responsible for dealing with explosives in shopping malls, and murder cases are not within their jurisdiction.

Seeing this, Conan said one more thing.

"It's best to notify the third department to search..."

"Why?" the policeman asked.

"Because the victim this time is one of theirs, the detective Chiba Kazunobu who disappeared a while ago..."

Conan said with a serious look.

……

At the same time, Qin Zhibo had already run into the deep alley near the shopping mall, took off the [Lord of the Rings], and released himself from the invisibility state.

He quickly took off his bloody clothes, turned them inside out, then rolled them up and held them in his hands.

After doing this, he leaned against the wall and breathed a sigh of relief.

"call……"

What a critical moment just now...

In the underground garage just now, if Toru Amuro hadn't come to the rescue in time, he would have come face to face with Scotch.

To be honest, he may not be confident enough to deal with Scotch Whiskey in a short time.

Since learning from Ishikawa Goemon in the parallel world, Qin Zhibo has not only greatly increased his swordsmanship, but his ability to sense masters has also become much stronger.

A master will have an aloof and unstoppable temperament, and Qin Zhibo just felt this in Scotch Whiskey.

In addition, Scotch had only 0.3 seconds of reaction time to dodge the attack of his own ray gun, which was almost beyond human reaction ability.

Also before, Qin Zhibo had witnessed Scotch Whiskey massacre the lives of dozens of cultists without blinking an eye.

It can be called "Gin No. 2".

The ability may even be higher than that of Gin.

How many monsters are there in this organization?

But the strange thing is that when faced with Bourbon, Scotch Whiskey is not as tough and cold as he thought, and is still trying to negotiate with him.

Isn’t he as ruthless and ruthless towards members of the organization as Gin is?

While the two were talking, he quietly left from behind, briefly treated Chiba's wounds with a [Shroud], and quickly left.

Now he is basically safe, but he has Chiba's blood on his body and on his shirt. He cannot go directly to the street in broad daylight.

I still need to trouble Kuroba Kaito...

The wireless microphone has been turned off by Qin Zhibo, and now he can only make calls.

On the other side, Kuroba Kaito has taken off the disguise on his face, put on the high school uniform he wore when he arrived, and mingled with the crowd opposite the main entrance of the mall.

Although the bomb case has been properly solved and various stability maintenance organizations are gradually withdrawing, the customers who have survived the disaster have not given up.

They gathered at the entrance of the mall and shouted for the mall to come out and give an explanation.

On such an important occasion, the owner of Mihua Department Store had to stand up in person, explain the situation to everyone, and bow and apologize.

"Asshole! Just apologizing is useless! You were the one who had the accident last time!"

"I heard that this time the bomb was related to the store clerk of your mall. Last time it was the security guard of your parking lot. Can your family still do it?"

"Money back!"

"Refund the money! Refund the money..."

Some customers who had already come out with goods in their hands began to demand refunds.

Kuroba Kaito was watching the situation, and he was also very interested in this situation. After all, the leather jacket and leather pants he just wore were all bought by Qin Zhibo with real money today.

If the mall could refund the money, he would make a fortune for free.

Although he doesn't care about money, he deserves some compensation after working here for a long time today.

"Refund! Refund!"

Kuroba Kaito saw that the funeral was not too big, so he shouted along with the crowd.

Suddenly, the phone in his pocket rang.

Kuroba Kaito was stunned for a moment, then thought of whose call it might be, and quickly picked it up.

"Hey?"

"I'm Qin. I'm in the alley of the pink signature drink shop on the east side of the mall. Send me a set of clean clothes..."

"Clothes?" Kuroba Kaito was stunned and looked down at the shopping bag in his hand, "Do you want the leather jacket and leather pants I'm wearing?"

Qin Zhibo on the opposite side was speechless, "What's the height difference between us? Do you think I can wear your clothes?"

Kuroba Kaito's height is 174cm, which is 11cm different from Qin Zhibo.

Leather clothes have poor stretchability and are even less likely to be worn.

"That's right...then what kind of clothes do you want?"

"Just what I usually wear, no need to worry about the specific style, just hurry up!"

Qin Zhibo's tone was a little urgent. After all, he couldn't guarantee that no one would come to the alley where he was hiding.

Kuroba Kaito nodded, "Then I understand..."

After saying that, he hung up the phone.

At this time, the mall owner was forced to make a compromise under the pressure of the masses.

It is impossible to fully refund the goods that have been sold, but you can redeem a 1 yen shopping voucher with shopping receipts made within today and before the bomb incident.

At this time, the customers who got the advantage gradually calmed down their anger and went to the front desk one after another to receive shopping coupons. Kuroba Kaito squeezed his way to the front of the crowd, got the shopping voucher with the receipt for buying leather clothes and pants today, and then went to the men's clothing store to buy clothes for Qin Zhibo.

A brown windbreaker and dark trousers cost 11200 yen in total.

Kuroba Kaito paid with a shopping coupon and 1200 yen in change, and got two pieces of clothing.

Coming out of the main entrance of the mall, some customers who had come in but had not yet made a purchase were still discussing compensation with the mall owner.

However, Kuroba Kaito couldn't care so much anymore, he had to hurry up and deliver clothes.

When he arrived at the place designated by Qin Zhibo, he saw Qin Zhibo standing next to the trash can with blood on his body.

"The blood on your body...is it from injury?"

There was some concern in Kuroba Kaito's eyes.

Qin Zhibo shook his head, took the new clothes bought by Kuroba Kaito and put them on, "It's not my blood, it's someone else's..."

"other people?"

Kuroba Kaito was a little surprised, what on earth did this man do?

Could it be murder?

But based on his understanding of Qin Zhibo, he probably wouldn't do such a thing.

How could a famous detective kill someone?

After Qin Zhibo changed out of his pants and jacket, he stuffed the blood-stained clothes into a shopping bag and said to Kuroba Kaito: "You should take these things back to the office first, I have other things to do."

"Other things?"

Kuroba Kaito took the shopping bag containing blood clothes from Qin Zhibo and asked with concern: "Isn't it still very dangerous?"

"It shouldn't be that dangerous..."

Qin Zhibo was not sure either, because he was going to find "Qianye" next.

In other words, he is looking for the Yi people who are possessed by "Qianye".

Before "Chiba" was seriously injured and fell into coma, he left his "last words" asking him to go to his home address to find him.

Although "Qianba" did not mention his address, based on his understanding of the Yi people, if the Yi people want to exist in this world, they must have a physical host.

Since he said that he could still find him, it meant that there should be another body host of his at his address.

This person is most likely a roommate who shares a house with "Chiba".

"Chiba" has long known that living in this world is very dangerous and may be precarious, so he has reserved a host of his own in advance so that he can switch directly if something goes wrong.

In this way, wouldn't "Qianye" be unkillable?

Qin Zhibo didn't know, but he had to go there in person anyway.

Therefore, after "Qianye" fell into coma, he took away "Qianye's" mobile phone. The number and call records saved in it should have clues to the new host.

"Really..." Kuroba Kaito's eyes flashed with doubt, but he still warned, "Then be careful."

Now the two have experienced many adventures, and in addition to being tied to interests, they have gradually formed a bond between partners.

It is this bond that allows the two of them to dare to give each other's back.

"Yes, I will."

Qin Zhibo patted Kuroba Kaito's shoulder and comforted him: "You must have confidence in me. After all, I am the 'Immortal Old Qin'..."

"Ah?" Kuroba Kaito was stunned.

But I have to say, this title is actually a bit handsome?

……

Watching Kuroba Kaito leave the alley, Qin Zhibo stretched his arms and took out "Qianba"'s phone from his arms.

Before Kuroba Kaito sent the clothes, he had already looked through the call records inside.

After all, "Chiba" is a person who has been issued a missing person notice by the police. There are very few unnecessary social interactions and there are not many call records.

But one of the name notes called "Yamada Yoshiharu" made Qin Zhibo more concerned.

Not only do the two have many call records, but the contents of their text messages are also life-oriented.

Conversations such as "Are you outside?", "Bring me a meal", "Did you lock the door at home this morning?"

It seems that this person is "Chiba"'s roommate during this time.

Qin Zhibo selected this phone number and called back.

beep……

beep……

After two busy signals, the phone was picked up.

But although the call was connected, the person on the other side chose to remain silent.

Qin Zhibo could only take the initiative to speak.

"You asked me to come to you."

"..."

There was silence on the other side of the phone for a while, and then he said, "Yes, that's true...but I'm not at home now."

The person opposite finally spoke, and Qin Zhibo heard that the voice was a bit shrill, giving people a cowardly feeling.

"Where are you? I'll find you."

"...Shinjuku-ku...No. 232 Nanakamachi, Shinjuku-ku".

"I'll be there soon."

Qin Zhibo hung up the phone, walked out of the alley, hailed a taxi and went straight to Shinjuku.

……

On the other side, the underground garage.

As the first discoverers of Chiba, Conan, Judy, and Kamel must stay at the scene and wait for the police to come for questioning.

This time, Officer Megure still dispatched the police at the speed of light.

Also coming with him were Takagi, Sato, Shiratori, and Matsumoto Kiyonaga, which shows that the Metropolitan Police Department attaches great importance to the case of missing police officers being attacked.

Under the questioning of Manager Matsumoto, Judy and Conan explained what happened.

The reason was that Judy saw a blond man walking towards the underground garage. She thought she had seen him somewhere before, so she came over to take a look.

When the three of them arrived at the garage, they heard the car alarm.

When he came over to take a look, he saw Chiba lying on the ground.

"Is that all?" Mu Mu asked.

Judy nodded with innocent eyes, "Yes~"

Manager Matsumoto next to him raised his chin, "It seems that the blond man who entered the garage before you is very suspicious..."

what?

Conan, who was standing low and listening, looked stunned. What kind of brain circuit is this?

Can the brother-in-law take the blame like this?

Just when Conan wanted to explain to his benefactor, Judy next to him suddenly remembered something and said suddenly: "That's right! I remembered it!"

"When this blond man passed by me, he seemed to be carrying someone with him..."

Sato quickly asked, "Is it Chiba?"

Judy immediately denied it, "I don't care too much about this. Anyway, I'm just with someone..."

"Um……"

Manager Matsumoto groaned, turned around and saw the surveillance camera on the ceiling, and was suddenly inspired to solve the case.

"The camera over there should be able to capture something, right?"

Shiratori took a step forward and shook his head regretfully.

"When the incident happened, the camera in the underground garage was not working..."
