Conan Rick's Investigator

Ohba Satoru was secretly delighted when he didn't see the famous detective in the hall just now. He thought that this outsider was tactful enough to leave on his own.

I didn't expect him to be hiding here.

"Just put it here..."

Ohba Satoru pointed to a place and asked his followers to put the huge doll costume in the corner of the room.

Qin Zhibo took a curious look at the doll costume that resembled a humanoid, self-propelled pink frog and asked casually, "Excuse me, what is this?"

"Mr. Qin, this is our company's mascot image. People can wear it..." Ohba Satoru explained with a smile.

Qin Zhibo nodded in understanding. It was really ugly...

"That's really nice. It's cute."

Looking at Qin Zhibo sitting in his seat, Ohba Satoru suddenly had an epiphany and thought of a perfect solution.

"Tanaka, this doll costume hasn't been used for a year. To avoid any problems at the party later, let's check it now."

"That's right. It would be troublesome if something goes wrong after the president puts it on..." The employee named "Tanaka" nodded in response.

In this way, Ohba Satoru and Tanaka began to check every part of the doll costume in front of Qin Zhibo.

While testing the eye mechanism on the frog costume, Ohba Satoru pulled something out of the frog's right eye.

"Eh? What is this?"

He fiddled with it with his hands and handed it to Tanaka next to him. Tanaka said he didn't understand what it meant either.

So, Ohba Satoru handed the thing to Qin Zhibo again.

"Mr. Qin, can you tell what this is used for?"

Qin Zhibo reached out to take the thing and saw that it was just a plastic bag with a black glove and several rubber bands inside.

"The scientific name for this thing is a glove. In ancient society, its decorative significance was greater than its practical significance."

"In modern times, its main function is to keep hands warm and provide labor protection, but some criminals also use it to cover their fingerprints when committing crimes."

"In a sense, this is also labor protection, but it's illegal 'labor'..."

Ohba Satoru: "..."

Remembering his plan, Ohba Satoru quickly came to his senses, opened the plastic bag, and put on the gloves on his right hand.

"It fits my hand better..."

After trying it on, he put the glove and the plastic bag back into the frog's right eye and said to Tanaka, "This thing might be part of the doll's costume. It's better for us to put it back where it belonged."

"Mr. Qin, we're leaving first..."

Ohba Satoru and Tanaka turned and left the room, while Qin Zhibo looked at the frog doll costume thoughtfully.

……

In the lookout restaurant, Kudo Shinichi and Mao Li Ran are eating steak.

During the meal, Kudo Shinichi continued to export Sherlock Holmes culture to Mao Li Ran, but Mao Li Ran had already gotten used to it.

"Good, good, good, Holmes is very powerful..."

"So what exactly do you want to tell me?"

Ran Mouri suddenly moved her face closer, startling Kudo Shinichi so much that he quickly retreated his upper body and pressed himself against the back of the chair.

Faced with such an opportunity, Kudo Shinichi still didn't have the courage to press forward, and he hesitated to express his feelings.

"Well... let me think about it first..."

Mao Lilan, with her crescent eyes, sighed helplessly and said, "If you are really a man, you should speak clearly..."

"If you want to borrow my class notes from recently, just let me know. I've made copies for you in advance."

Kudo Shinichi: “╭(°A°`)╮”

Noticing Kudo Shinichi's expression, Mao Lilan realized that Kudo Shinichi did not want to borrow her notes.

"Eh? Isn't it?"

"So what exactly is going on?"

Facing Ran Mouri's questioning, Kudo Shinichi looked left and right, licked his dry lips, and finally made up his mind to say what he had been holding in his heart for more than ten years.

At the dinner table, the handsome man and beautiful woman's heartbeats quickened as they looked into each other's eyes, and an ambiguous atmosphere drifted faintly among the candlelight on the table.

"Actually, I specially invited you out for dinner because I wanted to... tell you something..."

"Actually, that's just..."

But at this moment, a scream suddenly came from the corridor outside the restaurant.

"what!"

"Something bad is going to happen!"

"There's a dead person!"

……

Qin Zhibo, who was in the Italian restaurant, was the first to hear the scream and rushed out immediately.

When I reached the elevator, I saw President Tatsumi in the elevator, who had already left this world with a look of horror on his face.

He died with his eyes open.

Qin Zhibo, who finally found the body, of course started investigating the body immediately.

【Survey√】

……

After an unknown amount of time, Qin Zhibo finally acquired a new skill.

Judging from the skill description, the main function of this skill is to investigate problems in the account books, rather than to do accounting.

This skill doesn't have many application scenarios, but for Qin Zhibo, it's always good to have more skills.

At the same time, the task prompt also appeared.

-

At this moment, Kudo Shinichi, who was understood by Mao Lilan, also rushed to the murder scene. When he saw Qin Zhibo, his face was full of surprise.

"I'm having dinner at the Italian restaurant inside. Why are you here too?"

Qin Zhibo asked the question first without any emotional fluctuation, not giving Kudo Shinichi the chance to ask questions.

"I'm at the Lookout..."

Kudo Shinichi was about to say "dating Xiaolan", but was afraid of being gossiped about by Qin Zhibo, so he didn't continue.

Little did he know that Qin Zhibo already knew it.

Kudo Shinichi looked at the body in the elevator and was about to step in to investigate when he was pulled back by a weak force beside him.

Looking back, I saw the ubiquitous mask version of "Conan".

I saw Haibara Ai making the same movements as she did in the gym, shaking her head at Kudo Shinichi, and then turning her head to Qin Zhibo.

It means "You are not needed, someone is already available."

Kudo Shinichi: "..."

After taking a last reluctant look at the corpse, Kudo Shinichi had no choice but to turn and leave, entrusting the case to Qin Zhibo before leaving.

……

When they returned to the Lookout Restaurant, Mao Lilan was a little surprised to see Kudo Shinichi coming back.

"Shinichi? Didn't you go to investigate the case? Did you solve it so quickly?"

"Ah, this..."

Just as Kudo Shinichi was hesitating whether to tell Qin Zhibo that he was in the restaurant next door, Mao Lilan continued, "The waiter just told me that 20 years ago, a legendary couple sat at our table."

"There was a case here at the time, and the detective from the couple ran out immediately."

"After he solved the case, he immediately and loudly proposed to the girl..."

"What a romantic story!"

"Isn't that right, Shinichi?"

Looking at the blushing look of longing on Ran Mouri's face, Kudo Shinichi's heart trembled, and he stood up from his seat with a heavy face.

"Xiaolan, wait here for a moment."

"I'll be back soon..."

Chapter 435 Miss, you don’t want your boyfriend to go to jail, right?

The "legendary couple" that Ran Mouri mentioned are naturally Kudo Shinichi's parents.

Twenty years ago, Kudo Yusaku and Fujimine Yukiko, who was a popular actress at the time, fell in love here.

Until now, Yukiko often talks about this story, and Kudo Shinichi's ears are almost callused from hearing it.

So this time, after finally changing back, Kudo Shinichi decided to copy his father's experience in chasing girls, first wasting money, then being romantic, and then he could be wild...

However, when he actually went to the battlefield, Kudo Shinichi found that he was not as brave as he had imagined. He hesitated and did not dare to confess his feelings.

After Mao Lilan's reminder, Kudo Shinichi finally understood why his father was able to confess his love bravely back then.

When a detective is handling a case, his adrenaline rushes due to the excitement of blood and his persistence in getting to the truth of the case.

The moment when the detective reveals the truth in person is the moment he enjoys the most and the moment when his adrenaline surges to the extreme.

During this period, the brain will become very brave due to the stimulation of hormones, even when confessing to your loved one.

As Sherlock Holmes said, cases are the stimulant for detectives. As long as they solve the cases, they will have the courage to confess.

What's more, even Xiaolan thought it was romantic to come back and confess after solving the case.

For this romance, Kudo Shinichi is willing to sacrifice his life!

……

At the murder scene, Inspector Megure arrived at the scene again in an instant.

Looking at the president lying dead in the elevator and Qin Zhibo standing next to him, Inspector Megure was certain of one thing in his heart.

Brother Qin was also infected by Brother Maori's power of death...

In order to confirm this matter, Inspector Megure asked Qin Zhibo if he had seen Brother Mori.

Qin Zhibo shook his head.

Inspector Megure grinned bitterly: As expected...

According to the routine process of going to the scene, Megure first understood the testimony of the witnesses, then used his brain to calculate quickly and put forward his own point of view.
