Chapter 867 Cheng Shi's Dinner Invitation

Qin Zhibo recalled that at that time, Aunt Lin, a member of the cult, once said that they used the Tulpa secret technique to create the body of the evil god in order to summon the evil god to the earth.

Harumi Minase must have traits of the same origin as the evil god, and to some extent, has the same power as the scar-faced Jason.

Otherwise, wouldn't it be enough if the members of the cult just grab an ordinary person and let the evil god possess him directly?
If that's the case, Scarface could see Harumi Minase, maybe it wasn't because he could see ghosts.

Strange to say, Minase Harumi's ability is night vision, and Scarface's ability is to see ghosts. Both of their special abilities are related to vision.

So what kind of evil god is this?

"Mr. Qin, thank you for telling us this important information."

"Although it's a pity that I can't take revenge with my own hands, it must be because that person has done all the bad things that he will be retaliated by the messenger of justice."

Qin Zhibo disagreed with Randy Hawke's words. The enemy of a bad guy may not be a good guy, but another group of bad guys.

Randy Hock paused for a moment, then continued: "As a thank you, we will also tell you a piece of information on an equal footing. Maybe the nine angels behind you will be interested."

"I wonder if you've heard of the organization 'Brotherhood of the Beast'?"

Qin Zhibo thought for a while, isn't this the organization whose members are all named after animals?Among them, Snake Zhang Dapao impressed Qin Zhibo the most.

"I heard something."

Randy Hawke's eyes showed a hint of admiration, "As far as we know, the Brotherhood of Beasts will snatch the jewel 'Crimson Tears' from the head of the Hopper Thaumaturgy Troupe in tomorrow's performance."

gem?

This seems to be Kidd's job.
"How did you get this information?" Qin Zhibo asked, in fact, he wanted to know whether the source of information was reliable.

Randy Hawk's beard trembled slightly, and he smiled and said: "Our organization also has its own intelligence network, and we happen to be familiar with it in Europe."

"Of course, we have already informed the head of the Hopper Thaumaturgy Troupe, but that head doesn't seem to care who the gemstone belongs to."

"Now I will tell you this information. As for what you want to do, it is entirely up to you."

It was already late at night when I came out of the Tokyo Zoo.

Randy Hawke sent someone to drive Qin Zhibo to the parking lot of Cuphu Grand Theater. After paying a lot of parking fees, Qin Zhibo drove back to his office in Mihua alone in a convertible.

After crossing the Tsumusu River, I returned to Mihua from Kubedo, and it seemed to have entered another world.

Different from the bustling night scene in Kubedo, Mihua's late night is very quiet, even a little scary.

Almost all the shops are closed, pedestrians and private cars are rarely seen on the road, and only a few taxis drive late at night, cautiously maintaining the minimum indicators stipulated by the municipal government.

Parked the car nearby, and went downstairs to the office, Qin Zhibo found a familiar Ford pickup abruptly parked next to the convenience store opposite the office.

Qin Zhibo stopped at the stairs, staring at the car.

The dark car door opened from the inside, and a tall and straight figure stepped out of the car, it was Akai Shuichi.

Qin Zhibo looked at the man in the knitted hat who was gradually approaching, and his heart was steady, and he was finally coming.

With his hands in his pockets, Chi Jingxiu walked up to Qin Zhibo, and first looked up at the "Zhibo Detective Agency" on the glass on the second floor.

"Nice office."

"Thank you for the compliment."

"Why did you leave the fbi in the first place?"

With just a polite sentence, Akai Shuichi directly entered the topic, which caught Qin Zhibo by surprise.

Qin Zhibo probably knew something about the reason why the original owner of the body left Japan.

There is an unsigned letter in the drawer of the office, saying "If you want to know the truth, you can find me in Japan", the contact person's name is Hondo Eikai.

Qin Zhibo didn't understand the specific meaning of this letter, but judging from the time point four years ago, this should be the reason why he came to Japan.

However, the original owner's contact with Hondo Yinghai should have been unsuccessful, otherwise such a long time would not have passed, and no one named "Hondo Yinghai" had contacted him, and even the phone number on the letter was blacked out.

Of course, even if he knew about these things, he didn't need to tell the former colleague in front of him. It would be troublesome if other problems were involved.

"I just want to change my mood, the work of the fbi is a bit boring."

Seeing Qin Zhibo's serious expression, Akai Shuichi's eyes moved slightly, but he still accepted the explanation.

After all, Vince Chin is a Japanese-American mixed race, and he wants to come to Japan to change his life. It is not incomprehensible for Akai Shuichi, who is also a mixed race.

"Then are you interested in switching back now?" Akai Hideichi asked again.

Qin Zhibo's pupils trembled slightly, but the expression on his face remained calm, "Are you inviting me back to the fbi?"

"That's understandable."

"I reject."

Hearing Qin Zhibo's refusal without hesitation, Chi Jingxiu looked shocked, and couldn't believe his ears.

Although Qin Zhibo said that he was tired of working in the fbi, after all, this was a job he once loved and achieved a lot of achievements, so he should still have some feelings.

I didn't expect him to refuse so decisively.

"Don't think about it again?" Akai Shuichi asked again.

"No." Qin Zhibo shook his head with a smile, "Now my life is very comfortable. Every day I just find pets, catch affairs, and occasionally solve some murder cases. This is my daily life."

"I am very happy and honored that you have chosen to invite me back."

"But it's a pity that I'm just an ordinary private detective now, and I'm afraid I'm not qualified for the mission of the FBI."

"I wish you luck, though."

As he said that, Qin Zhibo patted Akai Shuichi on the shoulder twice, just like an old senior treats a newcomer.

Akai Hideichi moved his lips slightly, wanting to say something more, but he swallowed the words.

"I'll pass on your words. Goodbye."

After speaking, Akai Shuichi left without looking back.

Back in the car, James Black anxiously asked Shuichi Akai about the result of his "re-employment", but he also received a negative answer.

"He rejected our proposal."

"Oh?"

James in the co-pilot seat frowned, lost in thought.

In fact, some special agencies in the United States encounter difficult tasks, and it often happens that rehiring resigned or retired personnel.

As shown in many American action blockbusters, the male lead is a special agent, special forces member, police detective, etc. with special skills. He originally lived a leisurely life after leaving the unit. Recruiting back to perform tasks, a typical Hollywood return of the king plot.

This task is very challenging for the fbi.

The difficulty of arresting Gin is extremely difficult. The FBI failed once in the United States. This time, the Japanese police were not notified of the secret arrest operation.

After seeing with his own eyes this morning that Vince Qin's skills and thinking did not degenerate with the life of resignation, James was moved by his love for talent and wanted to bring him back to the fbi for reuse.

Under the current circumstances, Vince Qin, who is very close to the Japanese police and has a suitable identity as a cover, is undoubtedly a very important talent, and it can also be said to be a necessary pawn to complete the task.

Out of these considerations, James decided to invite the former FBI ace back to participate in the task of capturing Gin.

Unexpectedly, the result was rejected.

"I'll invite him in person in two days, he should be able to sell me this face"

Just like in the American blockbuster, James thought that as long as his former boss personally acted, Qin Zhibo would be able to agree like a movie hero.

But Akai Shuichi shook his head lightly, "No, it's useless."

He lit the cigarette in his hand and took a puff leisurely, "As long as it's something Qin decides, he won't change his mind, and it's useless for you to go."

"Besides, he might have something he thinks is right to do."

Akai Shuichi took one last look at the detective agency on the second floor across the street, stepped on the accelerator, and left.

At the same time, Qin Zhibo stood in front of the window of the detective agency, watched the Ford pickup leave the street through the gap in the blinds.

In fact, as Akai Shuichi said, I do have things to do now, but I don't have time to worry about the FBI mission.

pat.

Qin Zhibo let go of the blinds, sat on the boss's chair, and operated the computer that was turned on.

Enter [Hopper's Magic Troupe] in the search bar, and a lot of related search content pops up on the page, which shows that its popularity in Japan is still good.

The so-called thaumaturgy troupe is actually a magic troupe. This is a performing arts troupe mainly based on magic. It is essentially similar to the Hawke Circus.

Click on the first one, and there is a recent news about the Hopper Thaumaturgy.

"Shocking!Phantom Thief Kidd issued another notice to declare war, the target: the world's largest ruby ​​of Hopper's Sorcerers! "

Seeing this news, Qin Zhibo couldn't help complaining in his heart, Kidd has a very keen sense of smell, he can be found wherever there are gems.

But in fact, the information on gemstones is collected by Terai Konosuke. Kidd usually goes to school, so he rarely has time to search for theft targets.

Slide the mouse wheel, below is the photo of the current head of the Hopper Thaumaturgy Troupe being interviewed by the media.

The head of the thaumaturgy troupe in the photo is called Judy Hooper, a typical blond beauty with the same hairstyle as Hui Yuanai.

What stitches?
Qin Zhibo complained a bit, and continued to read the following content.

Like many sufferers who bought insurance in advance, Judy Hooper said that she had long wanted to see the magic tricks of the world's number one strange thief, so please let him come here.

The time of Kaitou Kidd's notice is tomorrow, which is the same day as the time of the Brotherhood of the Beast's action.

Since the last time Spider was almost arrested, this organization has also disappeared for a while, and now it is back in the rivers and lakes.

However, it is estimated that the one who snatched the gem this time is not a heavyweight like Spider or Shi Kaobing, but Zhang Dapao, code-named Snake.

Qin Zhibo had no interest in trying to arrest a small player of Zhang Dapao's level.

Because the Brothers of the Beast want as many as they like, and capturing him won't do much good.

Before Kaitou Kidd put a police tracker on the fake "Blue Birthday", he wanted to use Zhang Dapao to lead the way and wipe out the entire organization.

But when they got to the place, they found out that the boss behind the scenes of Brotherhood of Beasts was not accessible to members of Zhang Dapao's level, and it was meaningless for the police to arrest him.

And later intelligence also showed that the organization of the Beast Brotherhood is very large, its headquarters is in Europe, and the Japanese police can't do anything.

Instead of capturing the mediocre Zhang Dapao and replacing the Beast Brotherhood with more capable members, it is better to let Zhang Dapao continue to be a collector of gems.

In this way, it can at least ensure that Kaito Kidd can get the gem first every time, and determine whether the gem is the "Stone of Life-Pandora".

As long as you master this stone, you will truly have the capital to fight against the Brotherhood of Beasts.

When Halley's Comet returns, the real boss of the Brotherhood of the Beast, that is, the mysterious "Baron Hauptmann" will have to show up.

Qin Zhibo looked at the time in the lower right corner of the computer screen, it was already late at night, and it was too late to call Kidd about this matter.

Now that Kidd has sent the notice letter, I'll see you tomorrow night.

The next day, Qin Zhibo called early in the morning to book tickets for the hotel where Hopper's Kinky Troupe would perform tonight, but he got a reply that all the tickets for the restaurant tonight had been sold.

The service staff replied that it was mainly because they heard that Kaitou Kidd appeared tonight, and many Kaitou Kidd fans bought all the restaurant tickets in advance.

After all, this is an opportunity to watch Phantom Thief Kidd up close, and it is a benefit not to be missed by Kidd fans.

Just when Qin Zhibo was about to call Nakamori Ginzo to ask if he still needed help from his "foundation team" member, a call from Chengshi gave Qin Zhibo new hope.

"That. I heard that Kaito Kidd will appear at Jianggutian's Port Hotel tonight, so I booked tickets for dinner there."

"Excuse me, are you free?"

Asahi's honest voice was a bit twitchy, this was the first time he invited Qin Zhibo to dinner, and it was that kind of restaurant, so he was always a little embarrassed.

Qin Zhibo thought about it, Cheng Shi seemed to be a fan of Kaitou Kidd before, and he also learned about Kaitou Kidd through him.

After all, Nakamori Ginzo has always been a little invisible to the "foundation personnel" of the people. If it wasn't for the order of his superior, Officer Teaki, he would not bother to cooperate with detectives.

"Of course I'm free! I'll pick you up at your hospital in the evening."

Hearing this answer, Ma Chengshi, who was still nervous a second ago, immediately showed an extremely happy smile, and let out an emphatic "hmm".

Nurse Shiotani Miyuki at the side looked at the happy Aso Shi, and also showed a knowing smile.

It seems that Dr. Chengshi has also found his own happiness.
