Conan Rick's Investigator

This case had little to do with Qin Zhibo, so he didn't listen carefully.

After the morning news was over, Qin Zhibo turned on his computer and started surfing the Internet.

Although he was surfing, Qin Zhibo just wanted to find some information online.

For example, the murder of Amanda Hughes seventeen years ago.

Ever since he read Mr. Mamiya's research manuscript the day before yesterday, Qin Zhibo has been obsessed with Amanda Hughes.

Because the foundation under her name is likely to preserve the biological samples brought back from Antarctica by the Miskatonic expedition.

As long as you can see those strange creatures made up of pentagrams and spindles with your own eyes, you can gain 10000 skill proficiency points!

This reward is already very tempting.

Qin Zhibo clicked the mouse and quickly found the reporting page of the case that year.

Amanda Hughes, a famous American female capitalist, was murdered in a hotel in New York in 1979.

Also killed in the hotel that day was Hiroshi Haneda, who was checking into the hotel on the same day as Amanda Hughes. The two had afternoon tea in Haneda's room before he died mysteriously.

The suspicious point of the whole case is that Amanda Hughes' personal bodyguard "Qianxiang" is still missing, so she is currently being tracked down as the biggest suspect in the case.

As for the bodyguard named "Qianxiang", Qin Zhibo only found a photo of his palm that clearly showed him refusing to be photographed.

Regarding the bodyguard codenamed "Asaka", since she is Amanda's personal employee and is not hired by any security company, Asaka's age, identity, gender, nationality, etc. are all unknown.

Therefore, there are currently only three key figures in the entire Amanda case.

Amanda, Koji Haneda, Asaka.

Qin Zhibo clicked on Haneda Hiroshi's profile again and took a look.

Hiroshi Haneda was a famous talented shogi player. 17 years ago, Hiroshi Haneda, who was a four-time champion at the time, traveled to the United States to participate in an international chess tournament and was killed together with Amanda Hughes in a New York hotel.

Ok?

Qin Zhibo frowned and noticed something was wrong.

A shogi player participates in an international chess competition. Is this a cross-border move?

And the surname Haneda seems familiar...

This is the only information currently released on the Internet. The murder of the capitalist remains unsolved 17 years later and has become an unsolved case.

If we want to solve this case, we need more information...

Qin Zhibo turned off the computer and was about to turn on the TV to continue killing time and waiting for customers to come when a phone call came in.

I picked up the phone and heard Ma Chengshi's voice on the other end.

"Mr. Qin, can you accompany me on a tour?"

Qin Zhibo asked in confusion: "What tour group?"

"It's a tour group organized by some Sherlock Holmes fans. They're staying at a hotel not far from Tokyo. They provide shuttle service, free food and lodging, and the duration is three days and three nights."

"And if you pass the test, the organizer will also offer a prize that no Sherlock Holmes fan can refuse..."

Ma Shengshi introduced enthusiastically, which made Qin Zhibo a little confused about his attitude.

"Why do I have to go on this tour? Can't you go alone?"

"Actually..." Asami's voice faded away, "I added your name when I signed up for the tour!"

"What?" Qin Zhibo widened his eyes in surprise.

"Mr. Qin is a famous detective. I think if I add Mr. Qin's name, it will definitely greatly increase the chances of being selected..."

"sorry!"

On the other side, Masashi bowed into the phone, although Qin Zhibo, who was on the other side of the phone, didn't know.

"If Mr. Qin has something else to do, I can decline the organizer's invitation. I just received the invitation letter, so it should still be in time to make changes..."

Qin Zhibo thought about it and realized that the firm didn't have any important commissions at the moment.

Although his reputation as a famous detective has been established, the detective industry is still quite inward-looking. The daily commissions Qin Zhibo can currently receive are mainly about finding pets.

Just like the Maori Detective Agency in the next block, the daily commissions they receive are mainly to investigate extramarital affairs.

However, Qin Zhibo was afraid of missing the preview of Kaito Kidd this weekend, so he didn't dare to leave the area of ​​Mihua Town without permission.

Qin Zhibo: "Excuse me, what day is tomorrow?"

Asano: "Tomorrow is Friday."

Qin Zhibo: "What about the day after tomorrow?"

Asami: "The day after tomorrow is Saturday..."

Qin Zhibo: "What about the day after tomorrow?"

Ma Chengshi hesitated for a moment and replied, "The day after tomorrow is Friday. What's the matter, Mr. Qin?"

amount……

Do you count like this in your family? 5, 6, 5, right?

Qin Zhibo secretly complained in his heart, but since their schedules didn't conflict, he could also accompany Masamichi on a spontaneous Sherlock Holmes journey.

……

At the same time in Osaka, next to a landline phone in a Japanese-style garden, Hattori Heiji was holding the receiver.

A male voice came from the receiver, "The tour group is full. We apologize for this. Please sign up again next time."

After the phone call was hung up, Hattori Heiji, who was rejected by the organizer of the Sherlock Holmes Tour, stood there in a daze.

As a loyal fan of Ellery Queen, he decided to participate in an event organized by Sherlock Holmes fans, not for anything else but to meet Kudo Shinichi again in the tour group so that they could decide the outcome through reasoning.

but……

"I finally fell in love once, but you made me lose so completely..."

"Boiled!"

Hattori Heiji was so angry that he threw the phone receiver out of his hand.

Chapter 282 A spontaneous journey of Sherlock Holmes

At night, a van stopped downstairs of Zhibo Detective Agency and honked twice.

Qin Zhibo knew that the organizer of the Sherlock Holmes Tour had come to pick him up.

After getting on the bus, Qin Zhibo found that there were already many people on the bus, including Ma Chengshi.

"Mr. Qin!"

Asano Miura was wearing neutral clothes today, a light purple short shirt and black trousers, and waved at Qin Zhibo.

"Ah."

Qin Zhibo nodded and sat next to the seat that Ma Chengshi had given to him.

A man in a white shirt saw Qin Zhibo get into the car, then glanced out the window at the sign for Zhibo Detective Agency and asked in surprise, "You're the recently famous detective—Qin Zhibo, right?"

Qin Zhibo nodded: "It's genuine."

"I never thought this tour group could even find a famous detective. It was truly worth the trip!"

"Hello, my name is……"

Qin Zhibo looked at the man who was speaking. From the name displayed above his head, he knew that his name was Ikuo Kawazu and he was a physical education teacher.

Luckily, his last name is Chuanjin. If it was Jinchuan, he would have the same last name as that kind-hearted library director...

Since his profession is to teach physical education, let's call him Dabai for now...

In addition to Dabai, there was one man and two women in the car.

At this time, the female driver sitting in the front said: "Actually, I'm going to hire a famous detective next..."

Qin Zhibo frowned, feeling that this Sherlock Holmes journey was not simple.

The next famous detective?

Could it be...

……

The van didn't drive for long before it stopped again.

Just as Qin Zhibo guessed, it stopped in front of the Maori Detective Agency in the next block.

Downstairs of the office, Kogoro Mouri, Ran Mouri and Conan were already standing in a row waiting obediently.

Seeing this, the female driver felt a little embarrassed and said that she came to the Maori Detective Agency to pick up two people, and the number of people in the Maori family exceeded the capacity.

Kogoro Mori explained that he just came downstairs to see them off and had no intention of joining the tour group.

Maori Kogoro stepped forward, opened the car door, and warned the people in the car: "Don't you guys have any improper thoughts about my daughter!"

"She's a karate champion..."

Kogoro Mouri's voice faded away as he saw Masami Asano and Tomohiro Qin sitting in the back row.

Seeing two old acquaintances, Maori Kogoro calmly retracted his head, turned back and assured Maori Ran and Conan, "You two can go boldly."

The 180-degree change in attitude made Ran Mouri and Conan a little confused.

When Conan got into the car, he found that Qin Zhibo was also in the car.

Conan with half-moon eyes: I see...

……

The car was full of people and started heading towards the mountains outside Tokyo.

Qin Zhibo looked at the neon lights of Tokyo gradually moving away outside the window, knowing that this trip would definitely not be easy.

The originally unremarkable journey of Sherlock Holmes was given a touch of suspense due to the appearance of Conan.

Conan also glanced out the car window with some depression, thinking to himself: Will this trip become more complicated because of Qin Zhibo's arrival?

As a god of death, I think others are gods of death...

Mao Lilan and Masami Minoru were focused and had a great time chatting.

During the chat, Masamichi said that he liked Sherlock Holmes very much, so he signed up without permission and brought Qin Zhibo along.

And Mao Lilan said that her situation was the same, but Conan signed up without permission and dragged the Maori family into it.

However, the organizer only provided two places, so after weighing the pros and cons, I decided to bring Conan myself.

At this time, the female driver explained that the number of people in this tour group was limited. If one more person was added here, one person would have to be reduced on the other side.

There were quite a lot of detectives who signed up this time, which made her boss very distressed. He even rejected a famous high school detective from Kansai.

A famous detective from a Kansai high school?

Conan showed his crescent eyes. Could it be that unlucky guy Heiji?

The female driver continued, "But according to the boss, he has invited another high school detective this time, and he's even more impressive than the one from Kansai."

Is it bigger than Hattori Heiji’s portion?

Conan showed a gloating smile on his face. I guess Hattori Heiji would be so angry to death after hearing this?

Ran Mao Li, who was standing aside, was stunned, with a look of loss in her eyes.

Another high school detective...

Could it be... Shinichi!

Could it be that Shinichi is also on this Sherlock Holmes journey?

That Sherlock Holmes fan, since the case has been solved, why don’t you come to me!

It's been almost a week since we last met briefly at the office after the "Egg of Memory" incident!

……

The van drove along the winding mountain road, passed through the dark forest, and finally arrived at a cliff by the sea.
