Conan Rick's Investigator

This was within Qin Zhibo's expectations. After all, this name was not uncommon.

He told this name to Shinna Kaori just to prove that his investigation had made some progress, not because he really wanted to find any useful clues.

Because according to Qin Zhibo's speculation, this name is most likely a pseudonym.

If there was the all-Japanese database at the friend's research institute that Matsumoto Ryohei mentioned last time, perhaps it would be possible to quickly find out that this was an erroneous result.

But I remember that Matsumoto Ryohei said last time that the database only includes Japanese people under the age of 18.

This person named "Natsume Mika" is obviously over the age limit.

"That's it for now. I've found other clues, but I need to verify if they're correct before I can tell you."

"Yeah." On the other end of the phone, Xin Mingxiang Baoli didn't ask any more questions and said softly, "Then you should be more careful..."

"I will."

After hanging up the phone, Qin Zhibo turned and called Tachibana Maya, whom he had not contacted for a long time.

The phone rang for a long time before someone answered.

"Hey?"

It was still Maya Tachibana's slightly stubborn, mature voice, and you could hear the sound of running water in the background.

Taking a shower?

If only there were video calls in this day and age...

"I'm Qin Zhibo, and I'd like to ask you something about your assassin industry."

"Oh?" In the exotic room, a beautiful body like a lotus emerging from the water slowly wrapped a bath towel around it, picked up a slice of orange on the small round table and put it into its mouth.

"Ask me, if I knew..."

"First of all, I want to ask, are all the killers in the world from your Bloody Tongue organization?"

The last time they parted was in a hurry, and Tachibana Maya's condition was not suitable for a too deep communication, so Qin Zhibo did not ask in so many details.

This time we have checked for omissions and filled in the gaps.

Tachibana Maya thought for two seconds and gave a negative answer.

"Of course not. There are professional killers who work alone, and there are those who join organizations. There are treasure hunters, and there are those who kill for money. Their styles and purposes are diverse, and their identities and backgrounds are also different..."

"However, Bloody Tongue is indeed probably the largest assassin organization, number one, with branches in countries around the world, and its headquarters is..."

"Oh, I think I told you this last time..."

Tachibana Maya's words stopped there, and Qin Zhibo also knew the answer to the rest.

The Bloody Tongue's headquarters is in Kenya, East Africa, a country very far away from Japan, but it can extend its claws to Japan, which shows its strength.

"Second question, do you know a female assassin named Gray Tong Kong who should be about two years younger than you?"

Qin Zhibo doesn't have much hope for this problem.

After all, Tachibana Maya said that not all killers belong to the Bloody Tongue, so it is naturally impossible for her to know all of them.

However, after Tachibana Maya pondered for a few seconds, she gave an answer that interested Qin Zhibo.

"Are you talking about Scott?"

"That bitch, just thinking about it makes me angry!"

Chapter 212 Praise the Silver Fox! First Encounter with the Will-O-Wisp Boy (4k Subscription Request)

Qin Zhibo judged from the tone of Tachibana Maya's voice that she seemed to have some kind of grudge with Shi Kaobing.

As for this holiday...

"Scott, I've never seen her in person, but she once stole my 'business'. I specifically asked Silver Fox about her."

"Silver Fox said he had met Scott once before, and that the woman was a stunning beauty, with a very impressive gray vagina."

"So when you mentioned the female killer of Gray Tong Kong, I thought of her."

When mentioning the "Silver Fox", Qin Zhibo thought of the killer who died tragically in a truck crash.

I didn't expect that he was still providing information after he died.

It seems that the situation in this world is—

Some people are still alive, but he is already dead.

Some people are dead, but he lives forever!

Praise the Silver Fox...

"Is there any other information about Shi Kaobing?" Qin Zhibo continued to ask.

"Hmm..." Tachibana Maya mused, "She's quite famous in the assassin world, and a lot of her information has been recorded by the ICPO."

ICPO, Qin Zhibo, a former FBI agent, knew that this was the abbreviation of the International Criminal Police Organization.

However, Qin Zhibo's computer skills have not yet reached the level to easily break into the Interpol database, so he still needs Tachibana Maya to give him some basic knowledge.

"Sniper Scout, a great marksman, got his name from the fact that he only sniped his victims in the right eye."

"But from what I understand, Scout's killing habit isn't just to snipe people in the right eye."

"She stole my 'business' that time. Later, I read in the newspaper that the target's torso had been slashed by her with a sharp object like a sickle, and all his limbs had been severed."

"Because the killing method was so cruel, and the style was completely unlike the legendary Scott, for a moment I thought it wasn't her who did it."

"Later, the police investigation concluded that Scott was the murderer, but there couldn't be anyone else besides her..."

Qin Zhibo grasped two key pieces of information from Tachibana Maya's words.

Scott actually has two killing habits.

What the outside world generally believes is that the right eye was sniped, and the dismemberment was accidentally discovered by Tachibana Maya because of the "business" taken away from her.

These two techniques are one concise and capable, and the other somewhat classically cruel. It is indeed difficult to associate these two techniques with one person.

The advantage of doing this is that it confuses the police's thinking in handling the case.

Because if he only maintained one style of killing, it would be easy for the police to infer Scott's activities.

By mixing the two murder methods together, it would be difficult for the police to find clues about her.

Besides this, is there any other meaning?

Qin Zhibo didn't know.

Another key piece of information is that before Maya Tachibana took action, she knew that her "business" had been taken away by Shi Kao Bing.

Otherwise, you wouldn't learn about the target's death from the newspaper later.

If you say so...

"Could this Scorching Soldier be a member of the Bloody Tongue?"

"It shouldn't be..." Tachibana Maya held the phone between her cheeks while applying skincare products on her fair calves. "Silver Fox said that she seemed to be a killer from another organization."

Qin Zhibo was a little surprised, "Other organizations?"

"Well, it seems that the organization that Scoobing belongs to has some kind of cooperation with Bloody Tongue, so she was able to take away my 'business' openly."

Another organization...

Qin Zhibo was a little disappointed that he was not a member of Bloody Tongue.

Because all members of Bloody Tongue have the "bloody tongue" tattoo that is easy to identify, and since Scoobing is not a member, he definitely does not have a tattoo.

Thinking of the organization, Qin Zhibo thought of character investigation type tasks.

This main quest will be triggered as long as the characters are involved in some dangerous organizations.

If I really meet Shi Kaobing at the exhibition this time, wouldn’t I have to encounter another main mission?

This is good news for Qin Zhibo, who is eager to accumulate the general skill proficiency to exchange for the [Lord's Ring].

However, any organization connected with Bloody Tongue must be an extremely dangerous organization.

If you don't handle the situation well, you may still be retaliated against by the other party.

However, Qin Zhibo couldn't be 100% sure that he would meet Shi Kaobing at the Romanov Dynasty exhibition this time.

Because the killer who killed Harui Fuden used extremely complicated methods and tried his best to disguise the assassination as an accident.

This is clearly inconsistent with both of Scott's assassination styles.

It seems there must be something strange here...

"By the way, one last question, where are you now?"

The person on the other end of the line thought for a moment and then replied, "A country in Southeast Asia."

"Oh, then you better be careful..."

Maya Tachibana was somewhat touched, and her cold, mature voice became a little softer, "You too..."

But Tachibana Maya's feeling of being touched did not last for a few seconds, and she was choked to death by Qin Zhibo's words.

"Be careful not to get too tanned."

"You go to hell!"

After trying out his sharp tongue ability and getting a roar from Maya Tachibana, Qin Zhibo quickly hung up the phone.

Although Maya Tachibana is a cold-blooded female killer, her current relationship with him is that of a friend, so even if she speaks harshly to him occasionally, it won't have any impact.

Not only will it not have any impact, but with Qin Zhibo's sharp words just now, Tachibana Maya's relationship with himself in the interpersonal network has become closer.

In this interpersonal network, the closer the names of friends are to Qin Zhibo's own name, the closer the relationship is.

Among them, Asami Asami and Ryohei Matsumoto are at the top of the list.

The second-tier ones are Maori Ran, Kudo Shinichi, Maori Kogoro, Megure Jusan, Shinna Kaori, Suzuki Sonoko, Koizumi Anko...

The third line is the new name Rentaro (deceased), Tachibana Maya, and Dr. Agasa...

The fourth line is Miyano Shiho...

There is a Kuroba Kaito in the cooperation area.

As for those in the enemy area, most of them are either deceased or serving sentences in prison.

However, by chance, Qin Zhibo saw a name he had never seen before in the enemy area.

Hattori Heiji...

Who is this person?

……

August 8, Osaka Railway Station.

The Maori family and Qin Zhibo arrived by Shinkansen. Suzuki Sonoko met them at the station in person and took them to a luxurious extended Lincoln.

"Oh, a luxury sedan!"

"As expected of the Suzuki Group, they always make big moves."

What Kogoro Mouri said was really tasteless, but Conan beside him had already gotten used to it and was too lazy to explain it.

Yuanzi, who usually took the bus but indulged herself today, smiled and said, "That's because today is special."

"Special?" Kogoro Mouri was a little confused.

"Because we're going to meet the Kaito Kid of my dreams! How can we not make it a grand occasion?"

In response to this, Mao Lilan next to her immediately showed an expression of "that's enough", and said sourly: "Sonoko really..."

This expression of Mao Lilan was captured by Conan who was standing next to her.

It seems that Xiaolan still suspects that Kaito Kidd is Kudo Shinichi...

This can't go on like this!

Next, Sonoko introduced the driver sitting in the front driving seat.

"The driver is Mr. Nishino, my father's secretary."
