Conan's grammatical investigator

Chapter 367 A Bomb That's Worth It, New Tasks in Winter

After spending more than three minutes, Sadao Jingai finally swam to the side of the rubber boat.

The fat body grabbed the edge of the rubber boat and climbed up awkwardly.

But as soon as he got on the rubber boat, Sadao Jingi found a suitcase that took up a lot of space lying quietly inside.

Sadao Whale: "?"

Although a little puzzled by the existence of the suitcase, Butao Jingi immediately became happy.

Because there are no oars on the inflatable boat, but as long as the suitcase is opened, it can also be used as a simple oar.

God help me too!

Jingjing Sadao was overjoyed, and his trembling hands were placed on the buckle of the suitcase due to excitement or blood loss, ready to open it.

But at this moment, Jingjing Sadao heard a strange sound from the sea.

It was a long low hum, three parts like a human, but seven parts more like a ghost.

Sadao Jingi subconsciously stopped what he was doing and stared at the nearby sea.

In the field of view of Sadao Jingai, except for the bright ship in the distance, which illuminates a certain range of sea surface, the rest of the sea area is dark and gloomy.

In this gloomy atmosphere, apart from the deep groaning sound, there are also some people who drink water and put the water in their throats to let it out, that kind of "the pigeons are the pigeons" sound.

There are more than one type of sound, and there are more than one direction in which the sound is emitted.

The only thing in common is that these sounds seem to be slowly approaching this fragile rubber boat.

A gust of warm wind hit, but Sadao Jingi's body shivered involuntarily.

Unknown voices on the dark sea, and what is even more frightening is the subject of these voices
Suddenly, a series of water ripples appeared less than half a meter away from the rubber boat in the sight of Sadao Jingai.

Those are bubbles, very big bubbles.

These bubbles floated up from the depths of the sea, and then burst on the surface of the water, creating large ripples in circles.

It is not difficult to judge from these bubbles that creatures with such lung capacity are definitely not small fish or shrimps.

Uneasy heart, trembling hands, Jingjing Sadao tremblingly lay on the edge of the rubber boat, leaning forward, wanting to find out.

As the eyes narrowed, the dark sea surface became clearer, and the range of about half a meter below the water surface could be vaguely seen.

At this time, Sadao Jingjing looks very much like the pirate ship sent by Blackbeard to the sea to attract the mermaid in "Pirates of the Caribbean".

It's just that it's not mermaids who are waiting for orders in the deep sea.

It is a more realistic, frightening, dark and indescribable existence.
From the dark deep sea, a creature's head slowly emerged into the visible range.

In the rippling water ripples, it doesn't have a mermaid's delicate face like a fairy, but only a disgustingly ugly "fish head".

And on its thick neck, which is almost as rough as toad skin, the constantly trembling gills release the gas, which rises to the surface of the water and becomes bubbles.

The pair of protruding, never-closed eyeballs radiated a goose yellow light, staring closely at the face of Jingai Sadao.

Its image is between man and fish, but no matter how it is defined, it cannot be linked with "beauty".

If there is one thing in common with Caribbean mermaids, it is that after showing their looks, they should show a mouth full of fangs for hunting and eating.

The long and narrow mouth of the "fish head monster" slowly opened, inside were frighteningly fine white teeth.

And not just one, there are more "fish head monsters" slowly floating up from the water surface.

Obviously, they were very hungry, otherwise they would not have followed the taste of blood so quickly to have a "dinner".

Suddenly, the "fish head monster" closest to the rubber boat took the lead, and its violently trembling body gave it an incredible upward force, allowing it to jump out of the water like a dolphin.

Sadao Jingi's body retreated subconsciously, and at the same time let out a loud scream.

"what!"

However, at this critical moment, the suitcase under Sadao Kei's butt emitted a huge amount of heat.

The surging power that has been suppressed for a long time blooms in the suitcase, and the bursting light is extremely aggressive at night.

Then there is sound.

boom--

On the ship and the lifeboat, everyone saw the sudden fire on the rubber boat and heard the deafening explosion.

To be honest, Conan, who had been observing the situation of the rubber boat on the deck, heard a second before the explosion, which was a little insignificant in comparison.

The fear contained in this scream was torn to the point of suffocation.

However, Conan understood that it was Sadao Waijing who opened the suitcase placed on the rubber boat, but found that it was full of bombs that were enough to blow him to pieces.

Standing aside, Hattori Heiji stared at the flames on the sea, his eyes full of disbelief.

Hattori Heiji didn't know what was incredible, but it was incredible.

Qin Zhibo, on the other hand, was able to see more clearly when observing the situation just now because he had the vision of the telescope and the vision of the night vision device.

It wasn't the scream that Jingjing Sadao made when he opened the suitcase, but was frightened when he bent over the water's edge.

Maybe there was something in the water that frightened him.

Although Qin Zhibo knew what that thing might be, it was difficult for others to know.

Because that thing must have gone to hell with the bomb explosion, along with Sadao Jingai.

At this time, as if the entire plot process had been completed, the system showed a task settlement.

[Congratulations on completing the side mission]

[Mission settlement rating: B]

[Get 1000 general skill proficiency]

【Get 300 Social Credit】

[Rating reward: 500 general skill proficiency]

Qin Zhibo felt a little regretful in his heart. Although the creature was killed by the bomb, it was not his credit.

After all, the bomb is not his own, nor is he who put the bomb on the rubber boat, nor is he who used his body as bait.

It seems that this main task can only be completed later.

However, Qin Zhibo remembered that Watanabe Katsuki said that this season is when "mermaids" are active, and it shouldn't be particularly difficult if they want to meet them.

But as soon as this idea appeared in his mind, Qin Zhibo suddenly realized another thing.

its not right!
After my kick, it's summer now!

For the next hour or so, the ship where the explosion occurred did not move again, until Officer Meguro arrived by helicopter.

As soon as he got off the helicopter, Officer Mu Mu was shocked by the luxurious all-star lineup on board.

"Brother Qin, Brother Mori, Brother Hattori, and Team Leader Saki!"

"You are."

Although Police Officer Mumu was very surprised on his lips, he was feeling in his heart that it was no wonder that something happened to the ship.

Because this ship has been cursed.
In the crowd, Conan, the source of the curse, sneezed without leaving a trace.

After some investigation and understanding of the situation, Officer Megure asked Officer Takagi and other younger brothers to pack and take away the scorched Teruyoshi Kameda and Shiku Kanie who was shot in the temple.

Minoru Ebina was taken along with him, because he was the one who brought the bomb aboard, and for whatever reason, he violated the law.

As for Sadao Jingi, because it was too fragmentary to be collected, he could only be buried at sea on the spot.

Among them, Kanie was taken away for a long time, and Qin Zhibo made up for the corpse investigation.

Kanie is a former mercenary for a long time, and the skills he got from him are of course firearms.

After converting to 1000 points of proficiency, Qin Zhibo's firearms proficiency is still level 3, with a maximum accuracy range of 550 yards.

However, it is only 800 proficiency to be upgraded to level 4, and the precise range of the sniper rifle can also be increased to 600 yards.

It's just that the cases being handled so far don't require the use of guns, and Qin Zhibo doesn't want to conduct special training because he realized that the guns don't need to be aimed too accurately.

If possible, Qin Zhibo would not want to "play with guns" in the future.

When the ship arrived in Ogasawara, Qin Zhibo and the Mori family spent a day relaxing in Ogasawara, and set foot on the road back to Tokyo the next day.

And on the day I returned to Tokyo, it was miraculously snowing on the streets of Tokyo.

It was a sunny summer in Ogasawara the day before, but it snowed when we returned to Tokyo?
Qin Zhibo did some research on this.

According to news reports, on the day I kicked that kick, the temperature in the Kanto region jumped from autumn to summer levels.

This situation makes people puzzled, so the weather program of Nichimai TV station invited experts and scholars of meteorology from all walks of life to discuss this situation.

Some experts have proposed that it is the abnormality of atmospheric circulation; some experts have proposed that it is global warming; some experts have proposed that it is the slowing down of the earth's rotation, earthquakes and volcanoes, tidal changes, abnormal ocean circulation, and solar and lunar eclipses.
In the end, these experts were so angry that they couldn't discuss why.

However, Qin Zhibo also found out that the place where he was kicked out in midsummer was the entire Kanto region.

And this "midsummer" didn't last very long, it only lasted for one day.

When we returned to Tokyo, there was a light snowfall on the streets. This weather change was also weird in Qin Zhibo's perception, but there were not so many discussion voices.

It seems that at this moment in this world, it should be snowing time.
In this snowy winter day, Qin Zhibo received a call from Xinming Xiangbaoli after a "long absence".

The new name, Xiang Baoli, first exchanged some pleasantries with Qin Zhibo, which involved Nakamura fuck.

It's actually Mr. Clock.

The content is also very simple, that is, Nakamura Cao invited her to be a guest at the villa again, but Shinna Kabori rejected her because the publisher was rushing to finish the manuscript.

Of course, this is what the new name Xiang Baoli did in accordance with Qin Zhibo's instructions.

"By the way, why did you keep me away from Ms. Nakamura? There should be some reason for doing so, right?"

Faced with the question of the new name Xiangbaoli, Qin Zhibo hesitated.

But after a few seconds of silence, Qin Zhibo still chose to hide.

"I'll let you know when the time is right."

"Please trust me, please?"

The new name Xiang Baoli on the other side of the phone was also silent for two seconds, and replied: "Mr. Qin, I believe in you."

Xinming Xiangbaoli's tone was a little emotional, but then he changed the subject, "There is a new task in the organization, let's chat on the computer."

Hearing this, Qin Zhibo was a little excited.

Because time has passed for so long, I can finally make reasonable money from the organization again.

The last time I made extra money, I read and photocopied "Secret of the Worm" by myself, and sold the original version to the Nine Angels.

The price given by the Nine Angels organization is not cheap. Considering that it is also an ancient book with a history of more than 1000 years and has a high historical value, the price offered by the Nine Angels is [-] million yen.

It's just that this huge sum of money has not yet reached Qin Zhibo's hands, and it will take next week to get into the account.

In addition to the huge amount of money from the "future", Qin Zhibo is only 700 million away from buying the upper floor of the office.

For the 700 million, Qin Zhibo urgently needs the mission organized by the Nine Angels to help him.

On the Nine Angels website, Xinming Xiang Baoli sent Qin Zhibo the relevant information of the mission.

The content of the task is light, simple and easy. Tomorrow night, I will go to the Kawano Hotel to attend the memorial service of a film director named "Sakemaki Akiji".

The invitation letter will be placed in Qin Zhibo's mailbox tomorrow morning, but the name on the invitation letter is a foreigner named Michael Bay.

[New: So the difficulty of this mission is that you have to disguise yourself as a foreign film director. There is no restriction on appearance, you can play whatever you want, but your disguise must be undetectable]

[New: The ability you mentioned in the application form to join the organization is very proficient in English, and with your mixed-race appearance, you should be the only investigator who is qualified for this task at present]

When Xinming Xiangbaoli said this, Qin Zhibo felt that this task was really his own.

【Qin: I see, so what do I need to do at the memorial service? 】

[New: You don't need anything, you just need to keep your identity from being suspected, and attend the memorial service from beginning to end.Of course, if something special happens at the memorial service, you need to submit a report]

[New: Also, the reward for this mission is 100 million yen]

100 million to attend a film director's memorial service, which is both decent and risk-free, sounds like a very good task.

But of course Qin Zhibo knew that Nine Angels would not give him money for nothing, and there must be some shady tricks in this memorial service.

But no matter what, I was borrowing someone else's identity to attend the memorial service.

In this case, no matter what happens, I should be just a recorder and have nothing to do with myself.

【Qin: Okay, I accept this task】

The task-related communications ended, and Qin Zhibo quit the Nine Angels website.

But at this moment, Xinming Xiangbaoli called again.

"Communications on the website are not allowed to reveal personally identifiable information, whereabouts information, etc., so I didn't say anything."

The voice of Xinna Xiangbaoli was a bit twitchy, "If you need to make up to look like a foreigner, my makeup skills are not bad, I can help you."

"Um"

Qin Zhibo, who was thinking, bit the flesh in his mouth, "Thank you, but my own makeup skills are not bad."

"Oh, then I won't bother you, I'll hang up first."

On the other side, Xinming Xiangbaoli hung up hastily, with a hint of disappointment in his eyes.

And Qin Zhibo in the office looked at the snowflakes outside the window and sighed silently.
