Conan's grammatical investigator

Chapter 32 I found myself a little more handsome...

After reading these legends circulating in the coastal areas of Japan, Qin Zhibo didn't feel much.

The only thing Qin Zhibo was concerned about was the mention of Miskatonic in the second legend.

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

Unexpectedly, the archeology class of this university was able to come to Japan for archaeology in the last century.

It shows that the background of this university is still good.
But other than that, Qin Zhibo thinks that the content of these legends has nothing to do with the main task he is currently doing.

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

If you want to investigate these three places, it will definitely exceed the geographical scope of the task requirements.

So the only breakthrough in the investigation is the fake photo of the statue.

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

There is no encyclopedia of people on the Internet in this era, and it is really difficult to actively search for a person's information, even if this 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 skills have data search, so 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 Makoto you are looking for is a well-known master sculptor."

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

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

"But he's dead."

"died?"

"Yes, he died four years ago."

On the other side of the phone, Matsumoto Ryohei was holding a small note that he owned when he was a housekeeper. The beautiful characters on it recorded the information found in the library newspaper.

"Akutsu Shintake was once hailed as a national treasure-level modern sculpture master, especially famous for his sculptures in the shape of dragons and tigers."

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

people died.
Then investigate a hammer?
According to the information found from Tanaka and Yu's family, the only hopeful investigation point to be completed within Tokyo is to find this Makoto Akutsu.

But now that a person is dead, he shouldn't dig other people's graves.

Or go to the mental hospital where he lived?

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

If it is the kind of system that can 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 difficult to proceed with the main task, Ryohei Matsumoto's voice came from the other side of the phone again.

"Although Akutsu Makoto is dead, his son is still active in the sculpture industry."

"His son?"

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

"If you need, I can give you the phone number of this studio."

"need!"

"Then you record, the phone number is 801—"

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

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

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

"Natural Disaster or Man-made Disaster?Many domestic artists have gone mad! "

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

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

"Then can you provide me with his home phone number?"

"Okay, the phone number is 474—"

"OK, thanks."

After hanging up the phone, Ajiu Jincheng's disciple on the other side froze in place, scratching his head in doubt.

Why should I tell a stranger my teacher's phone number for no reason?
Now Qin Zhibo has social skills (speech skills), and after more than a week of question-and-answer training, his proficiency has reached level 2.

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

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

Qin Zhibo called Ajiu Jincheng's home on his mobile phone.

This is the sound of the answering machine starting up, indicating that there is no one answering the phone on the other side.

"I'm a reporter from Tokyo Daily. If you need to find 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 didn't receive a call back, but it was rare for a customer to come to the office.

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

There is no way, Qin Zhibo can only reason that he has no time today.

"If your cat is more capable of surviving in the wild, can I start looking for it tomorrow?"

Hearing this, the customer was of course unhappy, stood up and walked out.

"Really, I wouldn't be here if the detective agency on the next street wasn't empty."

Bang!
The customer slammed the door away angrily, and Qin Zhibo could only shrug his shoulders helplessly.

However, Qin Zhibo could probably guess that it was Maori Detective Agency for the Detective Agency in the next street that the customer mentioned.

Although it reads as a detective agency, Qin Zhibo once went there for a field trip, and the window reads "Maori Detective Agency".

Since there is no one at the Mori Detective Agency, it means that Mori Kogoro is active outside 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 back from Ajiu Jincheng's family.

It was Ajiujincheng's wife who called back, saying that she was in the beauty parlor all afternoon, so she didn't know there was a call from home.

"You want to find Ah Cheng now, but he's not at home all day today~"

"Where did you go?"

"When I woke up in the morning, I heard that he was going to Mr. Maruden's house today. I don't know when he will come back~"

"address?"

"Why don't you come to my house first, he should be back before tonight."

"."

"Okay then, the address of Marudenjiro's house is XXX in 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 from the thickness of the voice, one could tell it was an old lady.

Originally, Qin Zhibo wanted to go to Ajiujincheng's home address, and when Ajiujincheng came back, he would talk about his father, Ajiujin Zhenwu.

But when he thought about how long he would be in the same room with a pretentious young lady, Qin Zhibo felt that he should not go to someone's house.

In case Ajiujincheng's family relationship is not harmonious, and when Ajiujincheng comes back, he will misunderstand what he and his wife are doing, then it is absolutely impossible to ask Ajiujincheng to help.

After all, after taking care of himself in the mirror today, Qin Zhibo found himself a little more handsome.
