Conan's grammatical investigator

Chapter 863 Former Colleagues

Qin Zhibo looked at the basic information on that person's head. Behind the name was clearly written: James Black.

This is clearly not Randy Hawke.

But what surprised Qin Zhibo even more was that this person turned out to be the original owner of his body, the person in one of the only two photos he kept.

In the drawer of Zhibo Detective Agency, there are two photos that the original owner has kept. One is a photo with Haneda Yasuharu and Akai Gotake on the beach in Hawaii.

The other photo is of himself participating in an internal shooting competition similar to the FBI, and the person in front of him is awarding himself a certificate.

Qin Zhibo remembered the English-style sheriff's beard and black-rimmed glasses very clearly.

So this guy is the fbi?

At this time, Dr. Ali's voice interrupted Qin Zhibo's thoughts, "Mr. Qin, how do you know this person is not Randy Hawke's?"

Qin Zhibo chose a credible statement, and responded: "Because the faces of this person and that person in the photo are different in many details, it is obvious that they are two people."

Conan quickly took the brochure in Ayumi's hand, carefully compared the photo with the foreigner interviewed by the reporter, and found some differences.

For example, Randy Hawke's beard is dark brown, and that person's beard is light brown. The foreigner interviewed has fewer wrinkles and higher cheekbones, and the real Randy Hawke has a more stocky face.
Conan closed the introduction manual and looked at Qin Zhibo with surprise and admiration in his eyes.

Just by glancing at the photo, you can quickly tell at this distance that it is not the person in the photo, and you are worthy of being a former FBI.

Apart from Qin Zhibo's own terrifying observation skills, Conan guessed that this ability to quickly distinguish people through photos should be acquired from the FBI.

After all, the FBI often needs to catch criminals through photos. If someone is face-blind and looks like a criminal to everyone, it may cause a lot of trouble.

Ever since he learned that Qin Zhibo was a former FBI from Yusaku Kudo, Conan has a reasonable explanation for the source of many skills mastered by Qin Zhibo.

Taking Qin Zhibo as a reference, Conan feels that the current FBI's capabilities should not be bad, and they are proficient in reasoning, bomb disposal, observation, fighting, and firearms.

Unlike the Japanese police, although Conan publicly stated that the Japanese police are very reliable many times when he was still Kudo Shinichi, in fact, the choice he faced with the case many times was not the choice he believed the Japanese police would make.

He supported him verbally, but he was honest physically. He honestly didn't trust the Japanese police.

"Since that uncle is not Randy Hawke, let's go and rescue him."

"Good!"

"Youth detective team, let's go!"

Just as Qin Zhibo wanted to stop it, Conan had already led the three little ones to help others. Hui Yuan Ai thought for two seconds, and walked over with arms folded.

Seeing Qin Zhibo who raised his hand slightly, Dr. Ali asked in puzzlement, "Mr. Qin, do you have anything to say?"

"No"

Qin Zhibo put down his hands slowly, feeling uneasy.

Different from the FBI called Akai Shuichi that I met before, this FBI knew me a long time ago, and it seems that I have a good relationship with the "Original Owner", otherwise the "Original Owner" would not only leave two photos, but also Leave that one alone.

Theoretically speaking, I should try to avoid meeting the close friends of the "original owner", but now after such a long time, I have almost adapted to my current status.

And even if this James Black saw him, he probably wouldn't talk to him about the past in this situation.

After the last bus hijacking incident, Judy and Akai Shuichi rendezvous in a car with an old voice called "James".

Now it seems that this James should be the one in front of him.

He and the FBI named Shuichi Akai are in the same group. They sneaked into Japan to carry out some secret mission, and they probably wouldn't do things to expose their identities.

Therefore, the greatest possibility after analysis is that the two pretended to be passers-by who did not know each other.

Things really happened as Qin Zhibo expected.

When Conan and Sanxiao rescued James from the reporters by calling him "Grandpa, Grandpa", when James saw Qin Zhibo, he was stunned for the first time.

But then, he looked away, looked down at the Boy Detectives, and smiled kindly.

"Little friends, thank you."

"Fortunately, you helped me out just now. Although people often said that I look like Mr. Hawke, this is the first time I have encountered such a situation."

Although James' eyes fell on the group of children, his brain was thinking about the unexpected situation of "meeting Vince Qin".

Former FBI investigator Vince Chin is now in Japan under the pseudonym "Qin Zhibo" and has become a private investigator.

He had already learned about this situation from Akai Shuichi, and it was unexpected but reasonable to meet him head-on.

For this former colleague in front of him, James still has feelings. He has a lot to say and ask in his heart, but the current situation does not allow it.

Not only the random people nearby, but also the dangerous task of investigating black organizations.

After Akai Shuichi went to Judy's residence last time to support, Akai Shuichi said that he and Vince Qin had reached a certain consensus that the other party would not affect the FBI's actions in Japan.

In other words, I just need to pretend to be an ordinary passerby right now.

"Haha, I like the performance of Hawk's Wonderful Circus the most. Their performance is so wonderful! I am their loyal fan!"

"Also, I don't want to miss this thing~"

Speaking Japanese with a slightly strange accent, James smiled and took out the white lion Leon pendant of the same style as Ayumi, Haibara, and Qin Zhibo from his arms, and showed it to everyone, like an old urchin with a childlike innocence.

"I came to Japan on purpose just to buy this thing!"

In front of Qin Zhibo, James deliberately emphasized his purpose of coming to Japan, which meant that he was now an ordinary tourist.

Conan didn't notice James' deep meaning, but Qin Zhibo understood it, and chose to go smoothly and naturally.

Seeing that the white lion Leon's mobile phone pendant is so popular, Ayumi said innocently: "Great! I, Xiao Ai, and Uncle Qin also bought this mobile pendant~"

Hearing this, James was taken aback for a moment, and looked up at Qin Zhibo, feeling a little moved.

After so many years, Vince Qin still remembered his little hobby and wanted to buy it for himself.

Collecting such small peripheral objects is James' little hobby. In the past, Vince Qin would also give him some peripheral objects, such as a small pendant depicting a distorted five-pointed star.

I came to watch the circus show today, and I also took advantage of the leisure time waiting for Shuichi Akai to come to meet with me.

"By the way, I made an appointment with a friend who promised to come to see me. Have you seen a tall man with short hair?"

James seemed to be soliciting clues from everyone on an equal footing, but in fact his eyes fell on Qin Zhibo in the end.

Before the Detective Boys and Dr. A Li came up with anything, Qin Zhibo shook his head decisively, "I haven't seen it before."

Qin Zhibo's decisive attitude caused Conan to complain a little.

Are there too many people with short hair and tall stature?It's strange that one asks such general questions and the other answers so quickly.
What Conan didn't know was that this was a tacit understanding between two FBI investigators, and Qin Zhibo had already guessed that James was referring to Akai Shuichi.

But he really didn't see Akai Shuichi just now.

"Oh, thank you all."

Knowing Qin Zhibo's accurate answer, James hesitated for a moment, feeling that this opportunity is rare, and suggested: "By the way, it is fate to know you, so let me treat you to dinner."

"I know a restaurant that tastes so good it's worth a try."

"Great!" San Xiaozhi immediately let out an excited cry. The circus tickets for free prostitution are not counted, and they can also have a big meal for free.

"Then it's settled. Did you drive here?"

"Yeah." Dr. A Li's eyes were a little embarrassed, "But we have too many people, I'm afraid there is no place for you."

James smiled kindly, "That's not a problem. I also rent a car. What about this gentleman? Did he also come by car?"

James' eyes turned to Qin Zhibo, his eyes were quite meaningful.

Qin Zhibo also saw what he meant, as long as he answered that he didn't drive over, he could sit in the same car with him logically, creating an opportunity for the two of them to talk.

He took the initiative to invite everyone to the restaurant for dinner, and he also wanted to find an opportunity to talk to himself. After all, these children and old people are the cover, which is the most perfect umbrella for espionage.

However, Qin Zhibo didn't want to have a too private communication with James, and he couldn't directly refuse to go to the restaurant, which would easily arouse suspicion.

In order to avoid revealing his identity, Qin Zhibo decided to drive by himself.

"Yes, I came by car."

[The other party refuses to communicate with you in the team]

"Oh." There was a trace of regret in James' eyes, "Then the place where I parked is in that direction. You guys wait for me here for a while, and I'll go back as soon as I go."

The back of James walked towards another parking lot, which was not the same as that of Qin Zhibo and Dr. Ali.

Walking up the steps and crossing the overpass, James Black was planning in his mind how to create a chance to have a private conversation with Vince Qin later.

The two have not seen each other for four years, and James has accumulated a lot of things he wants to say to his former colleague.

For example, he did a good job in the fbi back then, why did he suddenly propose to resign and come to Japan to be a private investigator?
Although the salary of the FBI is lower than that of a famous detective in Japan, he remembers that Vince Qin has a family shooting range in Hawaii, and the business is not bad.

Regardless, respect his choice.
After all, before he left, Shuichi Akai, who had been trained with all his strength, had succeeded him and became the fbi's new trump card.

James Black came to the parking lot and put a few coins into the coin-operated parking fee payment machine. When he was opening the door of the van, he patted his shoulder with a palm behind him.

James thought it was Qin Zhibo making an excuse to come over, and he was overjoyed, but when he looked back, there were two men he didn't know.

The two have a square face and a long face, and they are wearing light-colored trench coats, which are Japanese civil servants' attire.

"We are police officers, is this your car?"

James looked at the unopened police manual in the opponent's hand and replied: "Yes, this is my rented car."

"Is that so?" The square-faced man put away the police manual. "To tell you the truth, this is a stolen car. The owner reported it to the police as lost a week ago. Now please."

The tone of the square-faced man was very official, and James, who is an FBI, was more familiar with it.

But what he is more familiar with is that the FBI's overseas funds are not so tight, and in order to avoid unnecessary intersection with the Japanese police, the details of each car are clearly checked, and it is absolutely impossible to rent a stolen car of.

they are fake cops
After the square-faced man finished his routine interrogation, James already had a basic judgment in his heart.

But since the other party is pretending to be a policeman, he must have a gun in his hand. If he resists now, he may ask for trouble. It is best to follow their ideas.

Led by two fake police officers, James had to walk towards the fake police car parked on the side, and at the same time use the pendant he just bought to leave a code.

When he was about to get into the police car, he deliberately used words that he wanted to talk to a friend nearby to force the fake policeman to show his true colors.

"Don't talk nonsense, just go in obediently!"

James was hit in the back and was forcibly sent into the police car, but it was logical that the white lion pendant was thrown to the ground.

click.

Although the fake policeman saw the pendant that fell on the ground, he didn't think it was useful, so he left the pendant where it was, and left with confidence.

As everyone knows, the guiding clues have been quietly left behind.

James Black, who was sitting in the police car, thought to himself while holding his bitten finger.

Qin, although you have resigned, let me see you again...

Get to know you, the former FBI ace, can you still have a meal?
Here, Qin Zhibo and the others waited for more than 20 minutes.

Cars came and went on the street, but James never appeared again.

"It's really strange. After waiting for such a long time, shouldn't you go back on your word and drive away by yourself?"

Mitsuhiko raised reasonable suspicions, but Qin Zhibo knew that James would definitely come back. After all, what good did it do him to play a former colleague who held their details?
Qin Zhibo turned on the navigator in his mind, and the electronic map on it showed that the parking lot in the direction of James was not far away.

"The parking lot is nearby, Dr. Ali stays here, let's go and have a look together."

Taking the initiative to bring the Boys Detective Team is also to avoid James' temptation to go to the parking lot to talk alone.

After crossing the overpass and entering an alley, they came to the parking lot.

However, a few people searched for a long time, but did not see James, but found a van with a white lion Lyon on the dashboard.

"This should be Mr. James' car?" Conan said.

Qin Zhibo walked around the car, and found that the door was unlocked, and the car key was also inserted in the door. It seemed that he left in a hurry, which was not the style of the FBI.

Qin Zhibo turned his head and guessed in his heart.

Was it because he looked like Randy Hawke that he was "received" by the hospitable Rice Flower people?
