Conan Rick's Investigator

After saying that, Kanazan was like an NPC who had finished the conversation, lowering his head and continuing to doubt his life.

He wondered why a murder still happened in his house even though he did not ask Kogoro Mouri to come over according to the rules he had summarized?

Did something go wrong?

……

Coming to the second floor, Qin Zhibo walked into the empty master bedroom and took out "The King in Yellow" from the bookcase.

Qin Zhibo's idea was very simple. This book would be a disaster if it remained in the hands of ordinary people. It would be better for him to take it and study it himself, and then give it to the Nine Angels in exchange for some money.

At this point, Qin Zhibo also began to understand the significance of the Nine Angels Organization's existence.

The purpose of the Nine Angels is to reduce and control some intelligence to prevent these "terrible truths" from having a bad impact on the people.

If this book "The King in Yellow" had never fallen into Kanami's hands, would the outcome today be different?

Qin Zhibo tucked "The King in Yellow" under his arm and was about to turn around and leave when a voice came from behind him.

"Uncle Qin, can you lend me this book?"

I looked down and saw it was Conan.

"This is a French book. You can't understand it."

Qin Zhibo knew a long time ago that Conan couldn't understand French.

But Conan still insisted, "I'm just a kid... I'm just looking at the illustrations."

illustration?

Qin Zhibo flipped through the book with great confusion and replied bluntly, "There are no illustrations."

Conan: "..."

Then, Qin Zhibo squatted down, put a hand on Conan's shoulder, and advised seriously: "Listen to your uncle, children, don't read "yellow" books, it's bad for your health..."

Conan: "..."

After persuading him, Qin Zhibo turned and left.

Conan looked at Qin Zhibo's back and recalled the experience of traveling in New York with his childhood sweetheart Mao Li Ran a year ago.

At that time, Kudo Yukiko drove her Jaguar E-type and took herself and Mao Lilan to the Phantom Theatre on Broadway, where she met the famous American actress Sharon Wynyard and watched a memorable stage play.

The title of that drama seems to be "The King in Yellow"...

……

It was already noon the next day when I came out of the Metropolitan Police Department after taking the statement.

As an uncle detective, Qin Zhibo is not like those high school detectives who don't understand the hardships of working people. He will not delay taking the transcripts if he can.

During the record-taking process, Qin Zhibo asked Officer Gao Mu about the handling of the case.

Using the most primitive investigation method, the police have found evidence that Kanamifang had purchased Tiancan silk. They hope that this evidence can prove in court that Kanamifang set up the murder device.

However, we are currently facing great obstacles during the interrogation stage.

When faced with police questioning, Kanamifang either remained silent, or talked about some strange things about Lake Hali and Carcosa, or hummed the tune of "Red Love Fantasy".

Next, the police may consider sending Kanami to a specialized institution for a mental evaluation.

If the results of the mental evaluation prove that Kanami is indeed crazy, it will be necessary to determine whether her brain was in a fully conscious state when she set up the killing mechanism and whether she has full criminal responsibility.

In short, this type of case is quite complicated, and there will be a lot of back and forth that needs to be done later.

……

On the way back to the detective agency, Qin Zhibo checked his social credit.

After solving the case last night, my social credit score successfully broke through 5000 and reached 5050.

This kind of social credit has surpassed that of the president of an ordinary company and is on par with that of the president of a large company.

Qin Zhibo remembered that the first time he saw Shuyu Zunde, it was just a social credit that started with 5.

And it only took me a month to rise from an ordinary passerby to this level...

With a certain status, Qin Zhibo certainly needs something that can show his status, such as business cards.

Qin Zhibo found a fairly large seal company in Beika Town and told them his request.

The boss’s reception was very warm because people who need customized business cards are generally very prestigious and are big customers.

"No problem. We have American standard business cards, European standard business cards, Chinese standard business cards, narrow fashion business cards, ultra-narrow personalized business cards, folding business cards, long folding business cards..."

Before the boss finished introducing himself, Qin Zhibo quickly replied, "Let's just use a Chinese business card..."

"What about the material? Do you prefer high-end and prestigious metal business cards, distinctive transparent PVC business cards, or high-end special paper business cards with gold stamping?"

Qin Zhibo guessed that the boss introduced these because the price of this kind of "flash card" should be higher.

"A regular printed paper business card will do, no glitter..."

……

After negotiating with the boss for another 20 minutes, Qin Zhibo finally walked out of the seal society.

I only made two boxes for the first time and I could get the goods one day later.

After leaving the seal company, Qin Zhibo did not go back to the office directly, but turned a corner and walked towards Beika-cho 2-chome.

Qin Zhibo is going to Dr. Agasa's house to visit Haibara Ai.

Some time has passed since the Beihu Hotel incident. As an "uninformed person", I should have heard about it according to common sense, and it is only right for me to visit if I pass by.

You definitely can't go to a visit empty-handed, so Qin Zhibo bought a fruit basket and ten red carnations on the way.

Chapter 397 The Woman from the Black-Hearted Organization...

Arriving at the door of Dr. Agasa's house, Qin Zhibo pressed the doorbell, and a voice soon came from the microphone at the door.

"Which one?"

"Qin Zhibo...I heard that little Huiyuan was sick, so I came to check on her."

Qin Zhibo's tone was very social, which made Dr. Agasa press the door-opening button without thinking.

However, when Haibara Ai behind him heard Qin Zhibo's voice, she quickly limped out of the room.

"Don't open the door!"

Ai Huiyuan's voice was very urgent, which made Dr. Agasa look confused and asked, "Why? It's just that Mr. Qin is here..."

"It's because of him that I can't..."

Haibara Ai's pair of snow-white little feet stepped on the spotless floor, but because she had just gotten rid of crutches, she had to hold on to the wall with one hand to keep her balance.

"Have you forgotten? He has observation skills that even Edogawa is afraid of. If he finds out that the wound on my body is a gunshot wound, how are you going to explain it?"

It was only after Haibara Ai reminded him that Dr. Agasa discovered this problem.

Currently, the only unrelated people who know that Haibara Ai was injured are Dr. Chengji and the three little ones, but the three little ones all said that they were injured by falling down the stairs.

After all, he was just an elementary school student, so he didn't have any doubts.

He asked Dr. Cheng Shi not to tell anyone about this situation, but after all, Qin Zhibo had spent more time with Dr. Cheng Shi, and he might have heard something from Dr. Cheng Shi.

But it could also be three little ones. After all, Beika Town is so small that you can see them all at once.

If you meet her on the street by chance and casually ask her where Ai Haibara has gone, the child will definitely tell you the answer on the spot.

In short, no matter how Qin Zhibo knew it, he must not be let in now.

"So how should I respond? I've already spoken, I can't just pretend I'm not home anymore, right?"

Haibara Ai thought about it for a moment and immediately thought of a way to reply.

"Just say I went to a classmate's house to play and I'm not home now."

"Oh……"

Dr. Agasa nodded in understanding and turned around and said, "Habara Ai said she went to her classmate's house and is not home now."

Qin Zhibo at the door: "?"

Half-moon-eyed Huiyuan Ai: "..."

Dr. Agasa realized that he had said the wrong thing and quickly laughed, "It was Huibara Ai who called and said that she went to her classmate's house, so she is not at home now, hahahaha..."

Strictly speaking, Dr. Agasa's ability to respond is quite good, but whether Qin Zhibo believes it or not is another matter.

I don't believe you! You are such a bad old man!

Qin Zhibo did not get angry because he guessed that it was probably Haibara Ai who told Dr. Agasa to say this because she didn't want others to find out that she was shot.

"Well, I just heard from Dr. Cheng Shi that little Haibara was injured recently, so I came to visit."

"The fact that you can still go to your classmates' houses means your injuries aren't serious. That puts my mind at ease..."

"If possible, please come out and get the comfort items I bought for you."

When Ai Haibara, who was standing by the entrance, heard the words "I feel relieved", she felt a little warm in her heart for some reason.

When Dr. Agasa heard that he had to come out to get some comfort supplies, he habitually asked Ai next to him for her opinion. Only after Ai nodded did he dare to open the door and walk out.

"Ahahaha, you even bought some souvenirs. It really cost you a lot of money..."

The door of Dr. Agasa's house was some distance away from the main gate. In order to ease the awkwardness, Dr. Agasa started to greet people while he was still walking.

Qin Zhibo placed a [famous detective's eavesdropping device] among the branches of ten carnations without leaving any trace.

Dr. Agasa came over and took the fruit basket and flowers through the gap in the iron railings. He smiled and said, "I'm conducting a very important experiment at home, so I won't invite you in..."

"It doesn't matter……"

Qin Zhibo adjusted the telescope's field of view and glanced at the half-prying face exposed at the corner of the entrance.

……

After Qin Zhibo left, Dr. Agasa brought in Qin Zhibo's gifts.

Haibara Ai was a little curious, so she limped over to the bar.

"Fruits and flowers..."

Huibara Ai smiled slightly, "It looks like a gift someone his age would give when visiting a patient."

As soon as Haibara Ai finished speaking, the smile on her face stopped abruptly.

"What's wrong, Ai?" asked Dr. Agasa.

Ai Haibara glanced solemnly at the fruit basket and flowers on the table and said, "When visiting a sick child, one usually brings toys, snacks, nutritional supplements, cartoon books, and other such things that are more tangible for the child."

"Why did he give me these?"

After Haibara Ai mentioned this, Dr. Agasa realized that this was indeed the case. Anyway, when he went to visit his friends' children, he would not bring flowers or other gifts whose meaning was difficult for children to understand.

There are only two possibilities for Qin Zhibo bringing flowers. One is that Qin Zhibo doesn't know how to choose gifts at all and just bought whatever he saw.

The other is...

"Has he discovered my true identity?"

Dr. Agasa was stunned for a moment, and comforted him: "Probably not. If he had found out, he would have already..."

What was it a long time ago?

Judging from Conan’s experience of exposing his identity, Qin Zhibo would not do anything even if he was discovered.

"Just, just..."

Dr. Agasa paused, and Huiyuan Ai suddenly took over and said, "Why not just buy me the latest PRADA bag? That way I'll be happier."

After listening to Huiyuan Ai's request, Dr. Agasa showed a helpless expression on his face, "Xiao Ai, you are too greedy..."

"There's nothing we can do about it..."

Ai Haibara gathered ten carnations together in her hands, dipped her upturned nose into the red flowers, took a long inhale of the refreshing fragrance, and a charming smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.

"Who made me a woman from a dark organization?"
