Conan Rick's Investigator

Chapter 131 Successfully escaped...?

Under the mental attack of the magic necklace, Qin Zhibo's willpower continued to decline, but it did not last too long.

When it drops to 75, it stops dropping.

In the face of iron will, a magic item that can only cause a mere 15 points of willpower reduction is still not enough.

However, although he resisted the will-lowering effect of the magic necklace, Qin Zhibo still could not remove the restraints around his neck.

The magic power of the magic necklace not only has the effect of reducing willpower, but also shrinks and puts pressure on the neck.

So Qin Zhibo urgently exchanged for the magic extractor.

When the white glove of the magic extractor touches the magic necklace, the magic inside is quickly absorbed into it, and the magic value stored in the white glove is also slowly increasing.

[The magic power extractor is charging...]

[Magic value: 5/100]

All the magic power in the magic necklace was extracted. The magic necklace without magic power turned into an ordinary necklace, and the silk thread on it would break if pulled hard.

……

Back to the present, Koizumi Hongzi looked at Qin Zhibo in disbelief, as if she was looking at a monster.

Only magic can defeat magic.

It's impossible to fight magic with human power!

Koizumi Hongzi repeatedly emphasized this point in her heart.

Qin Zhibo had already recognized from the message floating above the head of the beautiful waitress in front of him that this was the person who had secretly peeped at him when he boarded the ship.

-

Name: Koizumi Akako

Gender: Female

Age: 17

Main occupation: Witch

Secondary occupation: High school student

Social Credit: 3700

-

Oh...it turns out to be a woman...

Um? female?

Qin Zhibo suddenly remembered that he had asked Nakamori Ginzo before, and that the mysterious man in red might be wearing high heels.

If you say so...

"So you are Kaito Kidd's secret assistant?"

"I didn't expect that they were really a pair of thieves..."

Qin Zhibo's casual remark seemed to have touched a nerve in Koizumi Hongzi, and she immediately retorted with a rosy face, "That thief and I are not companions!"

"We are only……"

Koizumi Akako thought for a few seconds, but couldn't think of a good word to summarize her relationship with Kuroba Kaito.

However, from the girl's reaction, Qin Zhibo also guessed Koizumi Akako's character.

This is probably the legendary tsundere, right?

But no matter what, he had followed the mission requirements of the Nine Angels and mastered some basic information about Koizumi Hongzi.

Koizumi Akako, a 17-year-old high school girl, whose main occupation is... a witch?

When it comes to the word witch, Qin Zhibo can only think of its general meaning, which usually refers to a woman with supernatural powers.

However, in most cultural works involving witches, witches are either extremely evil beings or heretical witches who were killed in witch hunts.

Since the system shows that Koizumi Hongzi's profession is a witch, and she can also use genuine magic props, then...

Witches actually exist.

Qin Zhibo was a little surprised, but not that surprised.

After all, the props refreshed in the task mall have already proved that magic exists.

However, the existence of the witch also gave Qin Zhibo a brilliant idea.

The witch should be able to use magic, so is it possible to ask the witch to teach me magic?

As long as I learn magic, can't I become a magic man?

Well, calling him magician sounds better.

But just as Qin Zhibo, who wanted to become a magician, was about to step forward and continue talking, Koizumi Hongzi immediately jumped back vigilantly and raised her hands to the sky.

As Koizumi Hongzi's palm fell, a bolt of lightning suddenly descended from the sky.

Qin Zhibo subconsciously raised his hand to block, but it was such a simple action that made something that Koizumi Hongzi couldn't understand happen again.

The golden lightning that fell from the sky flowed into Qin Zhibo's right hand like fluid, but Qin Zhibo himself did not seem to have any reaction to the electric shock.

At the same time, a prompt came from Qin Zhibo's magic extractor.

[Magic value: 7]

A lightning strike provided 2 points of magic power to the magic extractor, which suddenly aroused Qin Zhibo's interest.

It turns out that extracting magic power is so simple.

So next, Qin Zhibo made a bolder move and raised his hand to hook his fingers.

"Come on~"

"Come again~"

"are you mad at me!"

Under Qin Zhibo's instigation, the ashamed and angry Koizumi Hongzi used several thunder-falling techniques again.

But the consecutive thunder-falling techniques could not hurt Qin Zhibo at all. Instead, Koizumi Hongzi was so tired that she was gasping for breath, and the heaving of her chest became more and more violent.

Although magic power is a supernatural power possessed only by magicians, if the magic power is drastically depleted in a short period of time, physical strength will also decrease significantly.

Is this guy... a rubber man?

Koizumi Akako leaned on her knee with one hand, making reasonable guesses in her heart.

Although his magic power is still enough for a few attempts at thunder spells, if he uses up all his magic power here, it will be difficult to control the magic broom later.

How to do?

Just as Koizumi Hongzi was thinking about how to retreat, suddenly, a force from behind her grabbed her by the waist.

Before she could even react, Koizumi Hongzi had already flown into the sky, her employee hat fell to the ground, and her crimson hair spread out in the wind.

Turning around, he saw that it was Kaito Kidd who saved him.

"Kid, Kidd!"

At this time, Kidd has put on his white suit again, and the glider behind him is the key to allowing him to fly freely in the sky.

Although this is the second time I've seen Kidd's handsome face up close, but...

Still so handsome!

Kidd's social skill (Charm) was activated unintentionally, causing Koizumi Hongzi's heart to flutter and her eyes to drift to the side unnaturally.

Kidd took one last serious look at Qin Zhibo on the deck, then controlled the glider and flew away.

Faced with the fact that the Phantom Thief who had regained air supremacy escaped with the witch, Qin Zhibo was helpless and could only stand on the deck for a long time until the figures of the two completely disappeared into the night.

And so, the first confrontation between the investigators and the Phantom Thief Witch duo ended with the duo successfully escaping.

?

……

The next day, at Jiangtiangu High School.

At four o'clock in the afternoon, school is over, and young boys and girls are walking out of the school gate in groups with their backpacks.

They were talking and laughing.

"Kaito, come on, just tell me what happened when you went on the Sabnis."

"I told you nothing happened! Didn't the news already say it? Kaito Kidd didn't show up this time."

"Oh? But Kaito Kidd never breaks his promise when he sends out a notice..."

Just as Kuroba Kaito was about to continue explaining to his childhood sweetheart, Koizumi Anko suddenly interrupted, "I think Kuroba-san is obsessed with the looks of pretty girls, right? After all, there were quite a few young and beautiful girls at the party yesterday..."

"Huh? Kaito?"

"You're really bad—"

Nakamori Aoko did not question what Koizumi Akako said at first. After all, this was Kaito's character, and it was the Kaito she had always known.

But the next second, she discovered a bright spot in Hongzi's words.

"Could it be that Hongzi-san was also on the Sabnis yesterday?"

This question made Koizumi Akako embarrassed, and she quickly stood together with Kuroba Kaito, shaking her head and waving her hands in perfect sync.

"How is this possible? Ha, haha..."

"Humph, there's absolutely no way I, Koizumi Hongzi, would ever get along with this guy..."

Suddenly, the sharp-eyed Koizumi Hongzi noticed a man in a brown windbreaker standing at the school gate.

Among a group of high school students who are still in their growth spurt, the man in the windbreaker stands out from the crowd with his height, making him quite conspicuous.

The face of a mixed-race uncle attracted the high school girl passing by and couldn't help but look back and take a few more glances.

At this time, Kuroba Kaito also noticed the man blocking the school gate, and quickly adopted the same strategy as Koizumi Hongzi.

I saw two people moving in perfect sync, sneaking into the corner near the school gate like thieves.

Seeing the two people straying from the direction of home, Nakamori Aoko kindly reminded them loudly.

"Kaito!"

"Hongzi!"

"Where are you two going?"

Chapter 132 The Thief and the Witch

Matsumoto Ryohei is extremely efficient. He handed over the investigation results on Kuroba Kaito to Qin Zhibo this morning.

To be honest, this speed was beyond Qin Zhibo's imagination.

Because if you want to search the entire Tokyo phone book, even if the surname Kuroba is relatively rare, it will take at least a month to search, and there will be follow-up screening.

Qin Zhibo originally gave this job to Matsumoto Ryohei because he thought it was too time-consuming.

As a result, Ryohei Matsumoto completed it so quickly.

"How on earth did you do that?"

"A close personal friend of mine runs a research institute. He's working on a system that will record the identity and physical information of everyone in Japan. He plans to provide it to the police for use in criminal investigations in the future."

"What a coincidence! Currently, this system only records people under the age of 20, which happens to include Kuroba Kaito."

Ryohei Matsumoto handed the information bag to Qin Zhibo, which contained a series of information about Kuroba Kaito.

Kuroba Kaito, 17 years old, a second-year student at Uchieda Ko High School in Tokyo, blood type B, 174cm tall...

The detailed information was enough to shock Qin Zhibo.

In this era of 96, there is actually a research institute working on a national body database system that will be extremely difficult to achieve in the future.

You guys are going beyond the scope!
