Conan's grammatical investigator

Chapter 469 This is... Pacific Rim!
On the sea surface, the last gleam of the setting sun disappeared, and the sea surface turned from azure blue to blue-black.

But this very normal change of light, in Qin Zhibo's eyes, is like some kind of terrible change in the world.

The incomparably heavy sound of flowing water from the surging deep ocean currents sounded in his ears, and his eyes saw a wriggling shadow that ordinary people couldn't see was slowly emerging from the sea surface.

Facing this scene, Qin Zhibo felt that his stomach pouch was wriggling, and the contents in his stomach were stirring accordingly, and the psychological and physical discomfort swept his whole body.

Qin Zhibo: Will -2
In this vast world, Qin Zhibo, who was in it, felt that he was an extremely small existence.

Send mayflies to the world, a drop in the vast ocean.
This should be a normal feeling, but in Qin Zhibo's heart, he was extremely resistant.

Qin Zhibo knew that what he was resisting was nothing else, nor the sea itself.

It's those indescribable shadows on the sea around the Pacific Ocean
Qin Zhibo: Will -3
At this moment, a gentle voice suddenly came from beside Qin Zhibo's mind, interrupting the troubled thoughts in Qin Zhibo's mind.

Mao Lilan and Conan standing next to him saw that Qin Zhibo had stopped talking for a long time, and there was a look of pain in his eyes looking at the sea, so they hurried forward to ask.

"Mr. Qin? What's wrong with you?"

In Mao Lilan's eyes, Qin Zhibo's complexion suddenly changed visibly to the naked eye, which made people a little worried.

Mao Lilan supported Qin Zhibo to a tree at the edge of the forest to rest against. There was a little room for shifting his vision, which made Qin Zhibo feel better.

And Conan next to him also looked at Qin Zhibo with worried and curious eyes, because this was not the first time Qin Zhibo did this.

Although Qin Zhibo is an excellent detective with excellent observation and reasoning skills, he can always do things that go against common sense at unexpected times and places.

For example, in a daze, according to Conan's recollection, Qin Zhibo was often in a daze at the scene of the crime.

Sometimes, Qin Zhibo would stare at a painting in a daze.

Sometimes, it's a wall.

Sometimes, it's a hallway.

Sometimes, it's a book.

In short, Qin Zhibo would often be in a daze, as if some otherworldly inspiration suddenly appeared in his brain, or his soul went out of his body and flew to another world.

Of course, this may also be Qin Zhibo's unique process when solving the case, mainly relying on daze, and the object of the daze has basically nothing to do with the case.

Only this time, Qin Zhibo looked at the sea in a daze, with a painful expression on his face, as if the sea had brought back some painful memories deep in his mind.

This reminded Conan that Qin Zhibo is a Hawaiian, he should have lived by the sea since he was a child, and he should be very familiar with the sea.

Such people will make painful expressions when they see the sea. The only reason is that some relatives or very good friends in the family are buried in the sea.

Old PTSD.
In this regard, Conan, who is also a patient, can only lean over and give a meaningful comfort.

"Please grief"

Qin Zhibo: "?"

Mao Lilan: "Conan, what kind of mourning are you talking about?"

Conan: "."

Seeing Qin Zhibo's puzzled expression, Conan couldn't be fooled.

Is my reasoning wrong?

Ah this
Just when the atmosphere was a bit awkward, Taketomi Masao and Kume Yoshitsugu, who left first to get the camera on the boat, ran back panting, and at the same time brought a piece of "exciting" news.

"The boat is gone! The boat we came in is gone!"

When everyone hurried back to the trestle docking at Dachuan, they all stared at the empty sea.

Not having a boat means that these people will also follow in the footsteps of the man who starved to death a year ago.

However, Conan quickly proposed that when Uncle Maori was called to record the program in the morning, Kogoro Mouri knew that they would come to the island for rehearsal today while he was half awake.

So as long as you wait patiently, the rescue may be late, but it will never be absent.

Under Mao Lilan's proposal, everyone decided to wait for the arrival of rescue in the abandoned villa by the beach.

Entering the villa, Qin Zhibo, who got rid of the sea, immediately revived with full blood. He easily found candles, candlesticks and matches in the cupboard of the villa, bringing a glimmer of light to this lonely and terrifying Far Cry night.

"Oh! I didn't expect that there are so many candles in this long-abandoned villa. How lucky!"

One of the locals, Noburo Ikema, was very happy, but Qin Zhibo knew that this was not luck, but the daily necessities left by Keikazu Shimabukuro when he lived here.

Taking advantage of nothing to do, Qin Zhibo asked several local people about the robbery case four years ago.

This time it was Noburo Ikema who took the initiative to answer the question. He said seriously: "Actually, it should have been five years ago at the earliest. Miss Xiaodu, the only daughter of Mayor Jincheng, was suddenly kidnapped and her whereabouts are unknown."

"Another year later, a group of robbers suddenly broke into the mayor's house in the middle of the night and stole a family heirloom worth hundreds of millions of yen—the golden screen."

"The housekeeper who answered the call from the gangsters at the time said that the gangsters were the same as the person who kidnapped Miss Xiaodu."

"Later, the mayor of Jincheng City wanted to use money to redeem Jin Pingfeng and Miss Xiaodu, but the money was spent, but the matter failed. In the end, there was nothing to do with the two matters."

At this time, Masao Taketomi who was on the side took up the conversation, "Although Mr. Jincheng is the mayor, he himself is helpless about this."

"It was rumored that he was so stingy that he didn't pay the ransom when Miss Xiaodu was kidnapped five years ago, so he was retaliated by the bandit group."

"At that time, this group of robbers also killed a maid in the mayor's house. The timid housekeeper immediately chose to resign."

There was some resentment in Taketomi Masao's tone of voice, and Daito Mikhiko's eyebrows trembled behind him.

Because he was the mayor's housekeeper back then, but he chose to resign not because he was afraid of the robbers, but because he wanted to avenge the maid's fiancée who was killed by the bandits.

It's just that it's hard for him to tell Taketomi Masao, his former brother-in-law, these words now, after all, his hands are already stained with the blood of two people.

The next step is to find a way to trick the last member of the bandit group into showing off.
Thinking in his heart, Dadong Ganyan lit a cigarette, and went directly to touch the teacup ashtray prepared in advance in the cupboard according to the envisioned script, planning to use the multiple cigarette butts inside to intimidate everyone, saying that there were other people on the island.

But he reached into the cabinet and groped for a bit, but Dadong Qianyan didn't find the performance props he had prepared in advance.

what happened?

What about the teacup inside?

Dadong Qianyan quickly stretched his head to look inside the cabinet to see what was going on.

At this time, a voice behind Dadong Qianyan came faintly.

"Are you looking for an ashtray?"

"There was a teacup in the cabinet just now, but I thought it was too dirty, so I poured it out."

"You want to use it?"

Qin Zhibo handed the clean teacup to Dadong Ganyan.

Looking at the empty teacup that was completely unconvincing, Daito Mikhiko forced a smile on his face and took the teacup.

"Thank you"

But in fact, Dadong Qianyan only wanted to say one word to Qin Zhibo in his heart.

retreat!

retreat!

retreat!
