Conan's grammatical investigator

Chapter 169 Your diamond experience card in the world has expired

Last time, in order to read "Corpse Eating Canon", Qin Zhibo specially studied French.

And now, this new "Secret of the Worm" is written in Latin, and if you want to read it, you have to learn another Latin.

Compared with the four languages ​​that Qin Zhibo has mastered, namely Japanese, English, Chinese, and French, Latin is a language that has died out in everyday spoken language.

Until now, the use of Latin has been limited to the study of ancient documents and the introduction of parts of Latin vocabulary in other voices.

For example, the "Novem Angelus" of the nine angels is a reference to Latin.

It is precisely because Latin has poor daily practical value and is only used by scholars in related fields for research and use, it is much more difficult to master Latin than French.

Even if Qin Zhibo has a good talent for language learning, it is still very difficult to learn this niche language.

Without professional teachers to teach, it is difficult to master in a short time.

In addition, there is a more practical problem.

How can I take "The Secret of the Worm" away?

Could it be that, like the original owner, he stole the book while holding a banquet?
Qin Zhibo looked around at the people next to him, feeling that it was impossible.

There were a lot of guests at the dinner party at Sowa House last time, and Sowa Zontoku didn't usually pay attention to those books, even if he stole a copy of "Corpse Food Canon", it would not be found for a long time, let alone tracked down.

But now there are only 11 people in the entire mansion, excluding the owner's family, there are even fewer people left.

If you find that the book is lost, you can easily suspect yourself.

Besides
Qin Zhibo glanced to the side, and Hamura Shuichi was paying attention to him.

"Mr. Qin, are you interested in this book?"

Qin Zhibo nodded, pretending to be ignorant and asked, "What's the name of this book, please? It seems quite special."

Hamura Shuichi introduced with a smile: "Mr. Qin is worthy of being a detective, and his eyesight is really extraordinary. This book is indeed one of the most special books in the entire library."

"The name of this book is The Secret of the Worm, and the whole book is written in Latin."

"The strange thing is that the author who was able to leave this 700-page book, I didn't find his name in other historical documents."

"There is also this book, which seems to be an orphan, and I haven't found any information about it elsewhere."

"Maybe there is only this one in the whole world."

Qin Zhibo nodded, and then asked again: "Then have you read the contents?"

Having said that, Hamura Hideo shook his head with shame.

"Unfortunately, I am not very proficient in Latin, and it is still a bit difficult to read this book."

"Oh"

Putting "The Secret of the Worm" back on the bookshelf reluctantly, Qin Zhibo could only think of another way.

Now Shuichi Hamura has seen that he has touched this book. If this book is stolen in the near future, the police will first investigate Shuichi Hamura who often comes here to read it.

Then Shuichi Hamura will confess who touched the book here.

At that time, the police will definitely doubt themselves.

It seems that if you want to get this book, you have to change another way.

buy it?
It seems unrealistic.

The "Corpse Food Canon" found in Sowa's residence last time is an abridged version in French, and it is a reprinted book for later generations.

And this "Secret of Worms" is the first edition of more than [-] years ago.

Such a precious book, if you want to buy it, it will definitely not be a small amount.

Assuming that after studying this book, you can also get a task like the last "Corpse Canon", the task reward is 5000 general skill proficiency.

According to the exchange rate of general skill proficiency in the store before, 5000 general skill proficiency is 50 yen.

In other words, in terms of monetary value alone, if the price of this book exceeds 50, it is not worth it to me.

What's more, learning Latin also costs money, tasks may not appear 100%, even if they appear, they may not be 100% completed
In short, it is definitely not a good idea to pay for it yourself.

Then there is only one last way left.

It is to let the Nine Angels organize money to buy books.

One of the goals of the Nine Angels organization is to collect these books and cultural relics that record mysterious myths. If you can disclose the existence of this book to the Nine Angels, the organization will definitely allocate funds to buy the book.

I can buy it with my own money first, and then resell the book to Nine Angels.

With the wealth of Nine Angels, maybe he can still earn a lot of price difference.

This is the best way Qin Zhibo can think of so far.
Coming out of the library, Toshiya Tasho took everyone to visit the collection room next to him.

Daisuke Hukura's collection room is full of props related to vampires, such as vampire masks, vampire claws, swords, stakes and the like.

There are shelves full of vampire films on one wall.

After the visit, everyone returned to the living room to continue various entertainment activities until the bell struck twelve o'clock at midnight.

Clang~clang~clang.
"Dad, it's getting late, so let's go to bed first."

Mao Lilan took Conan to ask Mori Kogoro for instructions, and then went to the bedroom.

And Qin Zhibo, who was sitting on the sofa, looked at the two who left, feeling a little incredulous.

There will be no murder this time?
no, no
Qin Zhibo glanced at the remaining people in the living room, and found that Matsumoto Ryohei, Aso Mito, Torakura Etsuko, and Torakura Daisuke were not sure if they were still alive.

All four of them left before midnight.

So, Qin Zhibo immediately went to confirm.

The first is Asang Shishi.

Qin Zhibo found him directly in the bedroom, where he was sleeping peacefully on the bed.

Confirm survival.

Followed by Ryohei Matsumoto.

Qin Zhibo didn't find him in the bedroom, but in the kitchen.

Matsumoto Ryohei is making supper.

Confirm survival.

Then there is Etsuko Torakura.

It was inconvenient for Qin Zhibo to knock on the door, so he put a guard totem in to check it out.

The lady inside didn't sleep either, she was staring at the mirror of the dressing table in a daze.

Confirm survival.

Finally, Daisuke Torakura.

At Qin Zhibo's suggestion, the student Toshiya Tasho called Daisuke Torakura through the extension phone.

beep - beep -

After waiting for dozens of seconds, just when Qin Zhibo thought he could identify the deceased, a voice suddenly came from the other side of the phone.

"Hey?"

"Teacher, Mr. Matsumoto made a supper, do you need it?"

"Well, yes, bring it here."

After hanging up the phone, Toshiya Tasho went to work.

The last one, Daisuke Torakura, was confirmed alive.

Huh?
Is today a Christmas Eve?
Or is it that the law that Conan dies wherever he goes is purely a psychological effect and is not valid?
The next morning, before Qin Zhibo woke up naturally, the chaotic voice outside the door woke Qin Zhibo up.

After inquiring, it turned out that the diamond experience card of the respected Mr. Daisuke Torakura in the world has expired, and he was forced to go offline...
