Conan Rick's Investigator

"By the way, my lady, your eyes are very beautiful. They are very icy and pure, yet they give people a feeling as sweet as toffee."

"Like Oloroso Sherry, which has a very rich toffee flavor. I'm currently trying to figure out how to pair it with a rich and delicious dinner..."

Hearing this, Haibara Ai's eyes widened again, because her code name in the organization was "Sherry".

The man mentioned sherry!

Could he be someone sent by the organization to hunt him down?

But why do I have no feelings for him?

Why would he say I tasted like toffee sherry and serve it to dinner?

Is it...

Is he hinting at "eating" me?

Haibara Ai looked warily at the man driving in the front seat, while the three little ones next to her were fearless and discussed with each other how to give Conan a big surprise after arriving at their destination.

At this time, the man joined the children's discussion.

"Is the Conan you are talking about a little boy who wears black-framed glasses and looks a bit smart?"

As soon as the key words in their brains searched, before Haibara Ai could stop them, the three little ones immediately nodded and said, "That's right! It's that Conan!"

"Uncle, do you know Conan too?"

"I met that overly mature little boy once before..." The man kept smiling. "Since you are here to find Conan, I think our destination should be the same."

"Let me introduce myself. My name is Matsumoto Ryohei."

Chapter 226: Detective Ke Xue and Investigator Ke Xue both had a flash of inspiration...

Afternoon at Yokosuka Castle on the hills.

Three cars drove along the winding mountain road. Inside the cars were Maori and his group, as well as professionals who came to help Kosaka Natsumi "find the eggs".

"What a beautiful castle!"

Ran Mouri clasped her hands together, her eyes full of envy, while Officer Shiratori beside her felt that the castle had some of the architectural style of German castles.

Qin Zhibo and Conan did not join others in discussing the castle, but stood back and looked towards the castle gate.

Both of them are waiting for someone to deliver equipment...

Just then, a dark blue Ford mid-size SUV came speeding over, making Conan, who was originally happy, a little disappointed.

If it's not the Doctor's Beetle, then...

Conan looked at Qin Zhibo who was standing opposite him, and remembered that Qin Zhibo had called someone to send something over last night.

Who is it?

The dark blue Ford slowly stopped and an elegant man got out of the car.

When Conan saw this person, his eyes widened immediately.

It was him!

Conan clearly remembered that this man was the chef who prepared that delicious dinner last time at the Deshura Villa.

His name should be Matsumoto Ryohei.

It turns out that he and Qin Zhibo know each other...

At this time, the other car doors opened one after another, and Dr. Agasa and the four little ones walked out.

Ayumi Yoshida: "Conan!"

Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya: "We are here!"

Kojima Genta: "Don't even think about leaving us behind, Conan!"

Conan: (°ー°〃)

Qin Zhibo was also a little surprised that the "Boys' Freebie Group" got off Matsumoto Ryohei's car, and Matsumoto Ryohei stepped forward to explain the situation.

"Dr. Agasa's car broke down on the road, and we happened to be going to the same destination, so I drove them here."

Meanwhile, Dr. Agasa leaned over to Conan's ear and whispered, "I brought the special glasses you asked for. They have two layers of bulletproof glass..."

"So I don't have to wear two pairs of glasses?"

Conan was stunned and asked, "Who said I was the only one wearing both pairs of glasses? I was going to give..."

Conan looked up at Qin Zhibo in front of him, only to see that Qin Zhibo looked unhappy, as if a senior student was looking at a junior student who didn't pay him protection money.

Bulletproof glasses, white girlfriend failed!

Without bulletproof glasses, Qin Zhibo could only follow Matsumoto Ryohei to the trunk of the car and hold a slightly bulging handbag in his hand.

Then, Qin Zhibo gave another reminder.

"The castle may become dangerous soon. Do not let children into the castle."

Matsumoto Ryohei glanced at the young detectives, who were eager to see the castle from inside, and asked, "Are they?"

"Yeah." Qin Zhibo nodded.

“They’re very good at giving away…”

In front of the Ford, Huiyuan Ai quietly walked up to Conan, who was relieved that Qin Zhibo did not pursue the matter, and asked, "That Matsumoto Ryohei seems to know you?"

"Yeah." Conan nodded as a matter of course. "I've encountered this before in a case. Is there any problem?"

Huiyuan Ai said with a complicated expression: "That person saw that I was mixed-race, and he also said that he was recently researching what kind of 'sherry' would be best paired with dinner..."

"Maybe he's part of the organization. It's best to stay away from him."

After listening to Haibara Ai's advice, Conan turned his gaze to Matsumoto Ryohei, who seemed to be plotting something with Qin Zhibo at the rear of the car.

My impression of this person is limited to being polite and cooking delicious food. Other than that, I don't have any special feelings about him.

correct!

There was also that time when he seemed to have deliberately carried me away to prevent me from eavesdropping on the conversation between Qin Zhibo and those people in the Deshula Villa.

Qin Zhibo must be on guard against him, so he let him...

If that's the case, he should have known Qin Zhibo before that incident.

Although I don’t know much about Matsumoto Ryohei’s character, Qin Zhibo’s character is absolutely trustworthy.

"Don't worry, he should be a good person."

"He said he was researching 'Sherry' for dinner, so that must be because he actually did research that..."

Ai Haibara pondered for a moment about Conan's comfort and decided to accept it for the time being.

After all, in front of this person, I didn't have that kind of heart-breaking feeling.

This is commonly known as the radar not ringing.

At this time, Conan also reacted to some questions from Haibara Ai's words.

"You are actually a mixed-race?"

"How come I can't see it at all?"

Huiyuan Ai showed a half-moon eye and said in a low voice: "I'm a mixed-race person but I don't look like a mixed-race person. I'm really sorry..."

Conan was ashamed.

For some reason, whenever Haibara Ai showed this expression and tone, Conan felt that women were really troublesome creatures.

Including Xiaolan!

……

Everyone packed their belongings and entered the Western castle.

In the exhibition room where knight armor was stored, Conan looked around and found that except for himself and Maori's father and daughter, everyone else who entered the castle was either carrying a backpack or holding a handbag or a box in their hands.

If Skoubing is not Nishino Masato, but one of these people, then there is a high possibility that there are guns in these bags!

Now, in order to prove that his intuition was correct, Conan could only assume that the real Scorch soldier was among the people in the castle.

Of course, it is also possible that Masato Nishino would take the risk and return to the castle again in order to obtain all the eggs of memory.

This is exactly why Conan wants bulletproof glasses.

But Qin Zhibo also wants bulletproof glasses. Could it be that he also judged that Scott would appear in the castle?

Conan was puzzled and could only continue walking along the castle's sightseeing route.

Soon, the first person to fall behind appeared.

Art dealer Qian Jiangyi said he needed to go to the restroom and left the group, but soon he heard a scream among the ladies he had visited before.

Everyone rushed over to check and found that it was Qian Jiangyi who had secretly come to pick the lock and try to steal the treasure in the castle, but he fell into a trap.

The deacon opened the mechanism and told him not to touch anything here anymore. Officer Shiratori asked him to give up the large backpack of lock-picking tools he was carrying and only gave him a flashlight.

At Conan's suggestion, everyone went to visit the office of the castle's earliest owner, Natsumi Kosaka's great-grandfather.

There are many photos on the wall of the office, and one of them attracts more people's attention.

"This... looks like a photo of Rasputin."

Sergei immediately recognized the content of the photo and explained, "It was because Nicholas II and his family trusted this evil monk that the Romanov dynasty was ultimately destroyed. Almost the entire family died tragically, and only the third daughter is missing."

"The third daughter...is she the Maria in Mr. Samukawa's Maria ring?" asked Mao Lilan.

"Yes." Sergei nodded. "Maria is the best of the four sisters and has a pair of gray eyes."

When Conan and Qin Zhibo heard the gray Tong Kong, they both had an idea.

Katcha!

But the two of them ended up with completely different answers.

One is very scientific, the other is very unstudy...

Chapter 227 Inspiration Comes

Outside the castle, seeing that everyone in the castle had been exploring for a while, Kojima Genta finally couldn't suppress his restless heart.

"Good! The adults have gone far away, we can start our activities now!"

Dr. Agasa scratched his head and asked in confusion: "What are you going to do?"

"A castle this big must have other entrances waiting for us to find." Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya raised his fist and gestured for departure, "Let's go!"

Just as the three little ones ran two steps away, a figure flashed and stood in front of them, blocking their way.

"It's good for children to have an adventurous spirit..."

"But true adventurousness is setting a goal for your life and then finding ways to achieve it, rather than just going into dangerous places and asking for trouble."

"What is your goal in entering the castle?"

The three little ones were stunned when Matsumoto Ryohei asked this question.

Yes, what are they going to do in the castle?

In the past, when Professor Agasa organized team-building adventures, he always used treasures as bait. Although they always encountered some unexpected dangers in the end, they still had a goal.

But this time, the three little ones just casually passed by someone else's castle, and then went in to adventure without the owner's permission.

This is more like a troublemaker going in to cause trouble...

Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya and Genta Kojima slowly lowered their heads, but Genta Kojima on the side didn't care about that.

"I don't care! I'm going in and taking the risk!"

"Uncle, you're really in the way!"

As Kojima Genta finished speaking, Matsumoto Ryohei narrowed his eyes slightly, and a strange light flashed in the corner of his eyes.

"Little friend, don't be rude..."
