The Grammatical Investigator in Conan

Qin Zhibo invited everyone into the office.

Although they are only one block apart, this is the first time that the Maoli family has entered Qin Zhibo's detective agency.

Standing in the office, Conan looked around curiously at the layout of the Zhibo Detective Agency.

Overall it's very concise, even a little concise.

There are no comfortable reception sofas, long coffee tables or water dispensers in the office. Instead, there is a chair opposite the boss's chair in the office desk.

Coupled with a personal computer on the desk, the atmosphere of this detective agency is less like a business place and more like an office within a public system.

Qin Zhibo invited Xiang Baori to sit on the only chair for guests and smiled politely: "Please describe the specific circumstances of your father's disappearance."

"Okay, my father is"

Under the narration of Xiang Baori, Qin Zhibo gradually understood everything.

The beautiful woman in front of me is the daughter of the mystery novelist Shinmyo Rentaro. Her parents disappeared two months ago, so...

"Wait a minute, are you saying that two months before your father disappeared, your father sent you to deliver a letter to me?"

"Yes." Niina Kahoori nodded.

"Is there no signature on the letter?" Qin Zhibo asked again.

"Yes." Niina Kahori nodded again, "My father said that as long as I give you this letter, I don't need to tell you who wrote it to you, you will understand it naturally."

"But you were not in the office at the time, so I put the letter in the mailbox."

Qin Zhibo recalled that after solving the case of the bandage weirdo, he did receive an unsigned letter in the mailbox when he came back.

And from the description of the women's clothing store owner, the person who delivered the letter was very similar to the new name Xiang Baoli in front of him.

But that happened a week ago!

Shinname Kahori's father, Shinname Rentaro, disappeared two months ago, and he sent his daughter to deliver this letter two months ago.

This timeline doesn't match up anyway.

However, given his extremely confused sense of time, Qin Zhibo did not dare to bite the bullet.

It would be great if the owner of the women's clothing store was here now, so that she could come up and identify whether the woman who delivered the letter was Shinname Kaori.

It's a pity that the women's clothing store has long been closed now, and the owner is not here.

"Honestly, the letter your father sent me has nothing to do with your father's disappearance, so I don't know where your father is now."

"But since Mr. Shinname will send manuscripts to the publishing house regularly, let's go to the publishing house first and take a look."

"If I remember correctly, today happens to be Saturday."

Qin Zhibo said this, thinking of what was shown in the subtitles in the lower right corner of today's morning news.

Qin Zhibo and Maori's family came to the publishing house with their new name Xiang Baoli.

The fat editor in charge received everyone and insisted that the manuscripts sent regularly every week were indeed written by the new name Rentaro.

"Although the words are all written on a typewriter, the font and grammar are exactly the same as what the teacher used in the past."

"The same goes for the teacher's autograph left next to the title of each episode."

"If you don't believe it, I can take out the manuscript and show it to you."

The editor left for a while and brought back the manuscript.

While the manuscript was still in the hands of the editor, Qin Zhibo saw the light white light emitting from it.

That's the light that belongs to the investigation point!

Mouri Kogoro, after confirming with Niina Kahori that the handwriting of the autograph was his father's, began to ask the editor about anything else unusual.

"Well," the editor man said, holding his chin and raising his head: "If there is anything unusual, it should be the re-serialization of the Detective Zuomonji series."

"Actually, we asked the teacher to continue writing the story of this series four years ago, but the teacher believed that Zuo Wenzi was dead after he died, and it was impossible to bring him back to life."

"But two months ago, Teacher Xinming called suddenly and said that he hoped to continue writing Zuo Wenwen's story."

"Of course, we are eager to ask for it, so the stories of Zuo Wenwen series started to be published soon."

Mouri Kogoro nodded and said solemnly: "I see, what else is there?"

The editor man continued: "Also, the teacher specifically requested that this paragraph be added to the first chapter of the new work."

"Attention all famous detectives in the country, large and small. If you think your intelligence is superior to mine, you can try to solve the mystery of this incident!"

As soon as the editor made this powerful declaration, Qin Zhibo, who was silently holding the manuscript in his hand next to him, suddenly spoke.

"Please save me quickly. My new name is Rentaro."

As soon as this was said, everyone was shocked.

"What's going on! What are you talking about?"

Mouri Kogoro stared at Qin Zhibo in surprise, while Qin Zhibo showed the manuscript of the first chapter in his hand in front of everyone.

"The title of this new work is called The Vertex of Half. In fact, this is not only the title, but also the decryption law of the entire code."

"As long as you follow this decryption rule and combine the top words of this sentence in twos, you can get a sentence with complete meaning."

After Qin Zhibo finished his interpretation, he picked up the second manuscript and started investigating, while Mouri Kogoro picked up the first manuscript on the table for proofreading.

"Assist.て.ㄑ.レ."

"Please hurry up and save me!"

After reading the secret code on the first manuscript, Mouri Kogoro quickly leaned on Qin Zhibo's right shoulder to read the secret code on the second manuscript.

On Qin Zhibo's left shoulder, Conan is entrenched.

The detective team Weng and Son-in-law looked at the manuscript of the second episode, but the meaning above could not be explained based on the secret word solution of the first episode.

"Haha. Two. Mouth." Mouri Kogoro scratched his hair angrily, "This is nothing!"

Conan rolled his eyes disdainfully at Kogoro Mouri, who failed to pass the open-book test next to him.

The content of this code only appears in the dialogue of the French writer character played by Shinname Rentaro himself in the book, rather than at the beginning of each episode.

In other words, the actual secret part is actually.

I, he, ke, I, He, today, live.

Um? What does it mean?

Did I understand it wrong too?

Just when Conan was also falling into self-doubt, Qin Zhibo spoke again.

"The correct solution to this part of the code is based on the French rule that H is silent. The correct meaning can be read by removing the H in the code text."

"That is, private place now - the place where I am currently."

As soon as he finished speaking, Qin Zhibo glanced at Mouri Kogoro, who was putting half of his body weight on his right shoulder, and Conan, who was putting his entire body weight on his left shoulder, and said lightly:

"Although Newton said that you can see further by standing on the shoulders of giants, but"

"If you stand for a long time, even a giant will get tired."
