Conan Rick's Investigator

"Is it from outside?"

The townspeople of Usa, who normally perform sterilization operations on cats, looked at the two people. The more they looked at them, the more they felt something was wrong and asked questions.

Qin Zhibo quickly helped explain, "These two are my sons. They are new here and don't know the rules here..."

The citizen of Usa frowned, and after scanning back and forth, he found that there was no similarity in appearance between father and son, but the two brothers looked very similar.

Yes, he solved the case.

"Alas, you are also a miserable person..."

"Okay, I'll continue with the scalp removal."

The townspeople of Usa shook their heads, put on their masks, and continued to knife the blue cat who had just passed out.

Conan and Kuroba Kaito saw the rather professional lancets in the hands of Usa townspeople, and then they realized that this was not a cat slaughterhouse, but a place where cats were operated on.

It's just that when they first came to this world and saw rows of farmland and simple farmhouses, they thought this place was a dreamland with backward technology.

I didn’t expect that people here actually know how to sterilize cats?

"Let's not disturb them, let's go out and talk..."

Qin Zhibo pulled the two "big boys" he had just adopted out of the house and explained the situation here to them.

There is an overpopulation of cats here, so the trend of spaying and neutering cats is not abusing the cats.

And this operation has also been recognized by the "Cat Commander".

Of course, that’s not what a neutered cat thinks…

"By the way, son, how did you get here?"

Qin Zhibo asked Conan in return.

Conan was stunned for a moment and replied: "I am..."

Seeing Conan next to him admit his son's identity so smoothly, Kuroba Kaito's eyes widened.

Did he admit it so readily?

Not even a rebuttal?

I am indeed dreaming...

Conan explained to Qin Zhibo that he came out of the mouse tribe in the forest and met a young man named "Kudo Shinichi" on the way, and the two came here together.

Seeing Conan's serious little face say these words, Qin Zhibo suppressed the smile in his heart and suppressed the smile at the corners of his mouth.

This kid really thought he was dreaming...

Also met Kudo Shinichi?

Conan met Kudo Shinichi?

Haha, what a joke!

"Ahem, yes, it seems you guys have put in a lot of effort to get here..."

With that said, Qin Zhibo rubbed Conan's head.

Conan felt the familiar force above his head, and his heart was filled with

Two words appear.

lifelike!

This dream was so realistic!

He knows that the so-called dream is a stitching of some important elements in the real world.

Therefore, whether "myself" or "Qin Zhibo" appears in the dream, it is normal.

The fact that "Qin Zhibo" calls himself "son" is also based on the summary of the relationship between the two in a parallel world some time ago.

Kudo Shinichi is also called son by "Hin Tomohiro" because the real "Hin Tomohiro" already knows his true identity, so of course he will call both of them sons.

There is nothing wrong with this logic!

Now he is looking forward to meeting Mao Lilan in his dream. What will it be like?

But what should I do if Ran Mouri appears and kisses "Kudo Shinichi" as I have always expected?

Did I green myself?

……

Led by their "father" Qin Zhibo, the three entered the town of Wusa.

Looking at the two new faces that appeared, some townspeople inevitably began to discuss quietly.

Some brave townspeople would come up to Qin Zhibo, the "pioneer of cat sterilization surgery in Wusa," and ask what was going on with these two new faces.

Whenever this happens, Qin Zhibo will introduce it very proudly.

"These are my sons!"

"The big one is Kudo Shinichi, and the small one is Conan."

Conan: Actually, both of them are me...

Kuroba Kaito: Fortunately, the name reported before was Kudo Shinichi, not Kuroba Kaito...

"Oh~" The town lady bent down to look at Conan, narrowed her eyes and smiled, "Your little son is quite cute, with such a big head~"

An aunt next to him also stood in front of Kuroba Kaito with a smile on his face, stretched out his hand and squeezed his arm, feeling a little emotional.

"My eldest son has a nice face, but his arms are a little thin. He's not very good at farm work, right?"

"Yes, a child as thin as a dog like this should find a wife who is willing and able to work hard so that she can support the family..." added an auntie nearby.

"Hey, I think Jennifer's single right now, right? I see she's great at farm work, and she's as strong as an ox like her dad. She wouldn't even be interested in other guys!"

"Indeed, young man, are you interested in marrying a cow..."

The more Aunt Usa talked, the more outrageous she became. She was no different from the Aunt Osaka in her impression.

The two of them were annoyed by this random pairing. They had people they liked in real life, and they couldn't cheat in their dreams.

What's more, for a woman who is as strong as a bull!

“Stop!”

“Stop!”

The two shouted at the same time, frightening the aunts around them.

Qin Zhibo quickly smiled and tried to smooth things over. "My two sons are new here, so I'll take them to see the elders first..."

"Okay, then you guys go ahead and do your work, we won't bother you anymore."

"By the way, Mr. Qin, when can you arrange for my cat to have surgery?"

"Yeah, I heard that too. Cats that have had surgery don't jump around anymore, and they don't meow at night anymore. They're much better!"

"And my cat..."

Qin Zhibo replied to these aunts one by one, and then they knitted the sweaters in their hands and continued to talk and laugh back to the roadside.

Conan and Kuroba Kaito looked at these aunts and couldn't help but sigh in their hearts.

What a terrible dream...

Qin Zhibo noticed their expressions and knew what they were thinking, so he comforted them, "Don't worry about these details."

"The people here are simple and honest, and they're warm and hospitable. No one means any harm to us. We're just a little curious since it's your first time here..."

Conan and Kuroba Kaito looked at each other, and for some reason, they saw confusion in each other's eyes.

First time here?

He said it as if he would come again in the future...

……

According to the rules of Usa Town, no matter where the outsider comes from, he must first go to the white tower on the top of the mountain to meet the elder of Usa Town, the wise Atal.

The three of them climbed to the top of the mountain along the cobblestone road, and a solemn and holy round tower stood in front of them.

Lush ivy climbed all over the outside of the stone tower, making Conan and Kuroba Kaito, who had just arrived, froze in place.

"Come in."

Qin Zhibo pushed open the wooden door under the white tower, and inside was a huge space similar to a chapel, which was called the "Holy Shrine" by the local people of Wusa.

The temple is decorated with various colorful flowers and rows of wooden benches, with an ivory white podium at the end.

"We're going to meet the elders here later, so it's best to be respectful in your tone."

"Of course, if you have any questions, you can ask."

Qin Zhibo warned the two of them to prevent them from overindulging themselves in their dreams and causing trouble that would end badly.

While Qin Zhibo went inside to look for the elders, Conan and Kuroba Kaito had no reason to stand still and went around to check.

Conan originally wanted to ask his clone "Kudo Shinichi" to go to the other side to take a look, but the clone had already walked away on his own.

The person in this dream is quite intelligent...

Conan saw this and walked straight to the other side.

On the walls on the left and right sides of the shrine, there are some decorations, including handicrafts, picture frames, etc.

Conan slowly walked past the decorations.

Colored glass beads, agate plates, dried garlands, gold necklaces...the decorations repeatedly wander between valuable and worthless.

Conan guessed that these items should have certain significance to this town.

But I shouldn’t have been to a museum or anything like that recently? Why do you dream about these?

Medieval museum?

But that's been a while, right?

Suddenly, a painting broke into his eyes.

This is a landscape painting of a vast ocean and huge mountains. The painting is equivalent to the length of Conan's arm.

What made Conan stop was not these exquisitely painted oceans and mountains, but the hazy clouds at the top of the mountains, with strange-looking beings.

They are either human beings, animals, human heads and animal bodies, or animal heads and human bodies.

In Conan's eyes, these unknown beings danced with the moonlight on the top of the mountains, as if there was a beautiful palace sitting there for them to have fun.

This artistic conception was so dreamy that Conan tried his best to recall in his mind which painting in reality this was based on.

But after thinking hard for a while, he couldn't think of an answer.

On the other side, Kuroba Kaito's eyes also fell on a painting.

This painting was much simpler than the one Conan saw on the opposite wall. The painting method was a bit immature, and the rough lines showed the artist's haste.

But the content on the painting also attracted Kuroba Kaito's attention.

Just because in the center of the painting, there is a man wearing a cloak and a top hat, holding a budding rose on his fingertips.

The man gave the rose to the little girl in front of him, while other children and adults clapped their hands in surprise.

This man looked more and more familiar to Kuroba Kaito.

Until he saw a slender chain hanging from the corner of the man's eye in the painting, as well as the semicircular outline around the eye socket.

This is a monocle!

This person's identity is a magician!

Kuroba Kaito recognized that the scene in this painting was exactly the scene where the magician conjured roses for the audience.

Judging from the architectural lines and colorful flower decorations outlined in the painting, this scene is the shrine where he is now.

Has a magician ever visited this place?

And what is even more amazing is that

The more he looked at the magician, the more he looked like that man...

Father?
