Conan's grammatical investigator

Chapter 349 A Ship of Seafood...

The Maori family came up from the boarding ladder, admiring the luxury of the ship, and at the same time dividing the credit for being here.

Although the one who noticed the quiz advertisement in the newspaper was Ouhuang Mao Lilan, but it was Conan who guessed that the answer was the old version of banknotes. This is a fact that Mori Kogoro cannot deny.

Mori Kogoro glanced suspiciously at Conan at his feet, "How do you, a kid who was born in the Heisei era, know the old banknotes of the Showa era?"

Faced with Mori Kogoro's suspicion, Conan quickly scratched his head and explained, "It's TV! I saw it on TV."

"It's TV again."

Mori Kogoro is no stranger to this explanation.

The three of them walked towards the front desk while chatting, and were about to go through the procedures related to boarding, only to find an acquaintance standing at the front desk.

"Mr. Qin!"

"Why are you here?"

The Maoli family looked surprised, but Qin Zhibo was quite calm, with a meaningful smile on his face.

"Of course, like you, it is also through a prize-winning contest."

When Qin Zhibo said this, Conan rolled his eyes in no surprise.

After all, it is Qin Zhibo, with first-class reasoning ability, it should not be a problem to guess that the answer is the old banknotes from the Showa era.

It's just that even the Japanese now have very few people who own this thing, let alone Qin Zhibo, a Hawaiian.

How did he get the old paper money?

Conan had some doubts in his heart, but he was not so perverted that he insisted on finding out the reason.

Since getting to know Qin Zhibo from Kudo Yusaku, Qin Zhibo's character design has become much more transparent in Conan's mind.

Qin Zhibo, a Japanese-American, native Hawaiian, graduated from Miskatonic University in the United States, and then worked as a shooting instructor in a shooting gallery in Hawaii.

This is all that Conan has learned so far, but there are also things Conan doesn't understand.

That is, since Qin Zhibo has such a top-notch reasoning ability, why didn't he become a detective or engage in a related profession as soon as he graduated.

And why did you travel all the way to Japan?

Just when Conan casually picked up the doubts about Qin Zhibo and began to think, the waiter began to register the boarders.

Considering that the god of death has already boarded the ship, Qin Zhibo asked, "How many passengers will this ship carry in total?"

The service lady with a pretty face replied: "There are 11 passengers in total, and you are the 8th passenger who answered correctly. Including this gentleman and lady, there is only one passenger left before the ship can set sail."

Qin Zhibo was a little puzzled, pointing to Conan who was probably too short for the waiter to see, and asked, "Isn't he a human?"

The waiter took a look on tiptoe, smiled and said, "This little brother is not a human being."

Realizing that this statement was inappropriate, the waiter hurriedly changed his words, "Little brother is not considered an adult, and we only count adults for this trip."

Conan mentality -1.

Seeing the awkward atmosphere, the male waiter hurriedly took over the conversation, "We need to register the identity information of the boarding personnel, may I ask your name?"

As soon as he was asked to introduce himself, Mori Kogoro immediately put on a handsome face and straightened his collar seriously.

"Actually, I am Mori Kogoro."

At this moment, a mature voice came from behind everyone.

"I used to work in the Metropolitan Police Department's First Investigation Division, but now I'm a famous detective who scares even bad kids."

"That's right, Mr Morley?"

Qin Zhibo looked back, and saw that the person speaking was a gray-haired man. Although his face was somewhat dimpled, his figure was still tall and straight.

On top of this person's head, Qin Zhibo saw the identity information.

Name: Shimaji Samezaki

Sex: Male
Age: 62
Occupation: Retired police officer

Social credit: 3200
-

Seeing this person, Kogoro Mori was very surprised, because this person was the police department when he was still a policeman. At that time, he and Brother Megure were his pawns.

"Samezaki Police Department!"

"Okay, okay, I've stopped being a policeman a long time ago, but don't forget that I officially retired two years ago."

Mao Lilan, who had some impressions of Samezaki Shimaji, immediately bowed, bowing politely + saying hello, and Samezaki also praised Mao Lilan for being longer and more beautiful.

At this time, Shimaji Samezaki shifted his eyes and saw Qin Zhibo who was also standing at the counter, his eyes became more interested.

"If I'm not mistaken, this is Mr. Qin who has recently been evaluated as a famous detective by the outside world like Maori, right?"

"I don't dare to be a famous detective, but the person you mentioned should be me." Qin Zhibo's response was more polite.

The corners of Shimaji Samezaki's mouth rose slightly, and he stepped forward and stretched out his hand in his pocket.

"Happy to meet."

The two held hands together, and Qin Zhibo investigated habitually.

According to Qin Zhibo's experience, wherever Conan appears, people often die.

And if the motive is old grievances, the murderer will usually change his name.

However, it is a pity that this Shimaji Samezaki's real name is Shimaji Samezaki, and he has not changed his name.

But this is normal, after all, he is an old acquaintance of Mori Kogoro.

At this moment, another person came over, holding up the cylindrical seal in his hand and showing it to the three adult men present.

The man is Mediterranean, with characteristic eight-character eyebrows and a round body shape, the image of the whole person looks a little funny.

On top of this person's head, Qin Zhibo saw that the name was Kameda Teruyoshi, and his occupation was a driver.

Kameda Teruyoshi's inexplicable actions stunned everyone present.

"Sir, do you have something to do?" Shimaji Samezaki asked.

When Kameda Teruyoshi heard this, he quickly put away the seal, "No, it's fine."

But when he put the seal back into his pocket, the seal accidentally slipped out of his trouser pocket.

Mao Lilan and Conan picked up the seal. The two looked at the words on the seal, smiled at each other, and immediately returned the picked seal to Teruyoshi Kameda, and thanked Teruyoshi Kameda instead.

Kameda Teruyoshi was a little confused, but subconsciously replied "You're welcome".

And Kameda Teruyoshi did not take two steps, and met a thin man leaning against the wall, named Kanie Shihisa.

Kanie Shijiu revealed a key from his pocket and showed it to Kameda Teruyoshi, and the two immediately walked towards the restaurant with their arms around their shoulders like good buddies they haven't seen for a long time.

This scene made both Qin Zhibo and Conan thoughtful.

At this time, the last person to board the ship also arrived with a suitcase.

The man was hunched over, his mental state didn't look good, his expression under the glasses was a little sneaky, as if he was deliberately avoiding the conversation between the detective and the ex-police here.

On top of this man's head, Qin Zhibo also saw his message.

Name: Hai Lao Na Minoru.
Hailao means shrimp.

So far, the names of the boarders have included sharks, turtles, crabs, and shrimps.

Qin Zhibo understood, and co-authored, this is a boatload of seafood!
