Conan Rick's Investigator

Qin Zhibo raised his hand to point in the direction, and everyone followed the direction and soon arrived in front of the second barbed wire fence.

"It seems they have entered the hunting area."

Qin Zhibo returned the glasses to Conan because he had already seen the detective badge fallen behind the barbed wire.

On the barbed wire, a hole that was big enough for an adult to fit through was clearly visible.

"Really... we just have to find them quickly and get back to the hotel before dark..."

As Conan was speaking, he was about to be the first to drill into the hole, but Qin Zhibo pulled him back with one hand.

"There's a hunting area across the street. Children and minors shouldn't go in there. It's enough for me to go find them myself."

This made Conan, who was eager to follow the main story, a little anxious, and he quickly said: "One more person means more strength, and if we all work together, the search will definitely be faster."

But Qin Zhibo's attitude was somewhat firm, and he immediately shook his head, "I am enough on my own."

"Xiaolan, just wait here with the children. I'll be back soon."

Qin Zhibo's tone was commanding, which made the junior Mao Lilan immediately respond solemnly with a "Hi".

In this way, Qin Zhibo crawled into the barbed wire by himself, picked up the detective badge and handed it to Conan, and then went alone to look for the missing Haibara and Mitsuhiko.

Conan looked at Qin Zhibo's quickly disappearing back, and he didn't know where Qin Zhibo got the confidence that he could find the two missing children.

Is it because of that amazing observation ability?

Qin Zhibo certainly doesn't rely on observation.

Just after walking a dozen meters past the barbed wire, Qin Zhibo put on the magic extractor on his hand and immediately cast a locating spell.

As long as you imagine what Haibara Ai looks like in your mind, you will immediately get a direction in your mind.

Northwest...

Qin Zhibo glanced towards the northwest and took big strides in pursuit.

……

Deep in the forest, Haibara Ai and Mitsuhiko were exhausted and out of breath, with a little bear following behind them.

"We should be...almost done...right now..." Mitsuhiko said breathlessly, leaning on his knees.

Haibara Ai, who was also a little embarrassed, raised her hand to wipe the sweat from her chin and looked back at the quiet forest behind her.

"Maybe...it seems like I've given up temporarily."

Haibara Ai’s choice of words is very sophisticated, it is “give up temporarily” instead of “give up”.

Because Mitsuhiko and I caught him killing someone, there was no way the murderer would give up hunting them down.

Just ten minutes ago, she and Mitsuhiko crawled into the hole in the second barbed wire fence and witnessed a hunter killing a man and shooting at her and Mitsuhiko continuously.

If this hunter's marksmanship was not better than Gin's, his life would have been lost in these endless mountains.

"That hunter will definitely continue searching for us in the forest and won't stop until he kills us two witnesses."

"The only solution now is to leave marks along the way. When Mr. Qin and the others come looking for us, they'll see the marks and understand we're being hunted..."

Although she had just experienced a life-and-death moment, Haibara Ai's mind was still very clear, and the first person she thought of was someone she could rely on.

Mitsuhiko, who was standing by, looked at Haibara Ai's calmness in the face of danger, his face turned red again, and he felt a little sad in his heart.

At this time, Haibara Ai looked back and saw the little bear following her along the way, like a homeless child, and her expression was somewhat moved.

In it, Huiyuan saw her own helpless appearance when she had just become smaller and separated from the organization.

"This little bear has been following us. Although we don't know why, we must not let it get into danger."

Haibara Ai sympathizes with the little bear, and it seems like she is sympathizing with her former self.

With the blessing of love, Haibara Ai's personality became more brilliant in the eyes of Mitsuhiko, and the blush on her face increased a little more.

So, after mustering up his courage, Mitsuhiko asked Haibara Ai a somewhat sensitive question.

"Haibara-san, is there some secret between you and Conan?"

Huiyuan Ai, who was walking in front, was stunned for a moment, "Why do you ask?"

"Because you two always take advantage of others not noticing to talk about adult things..."

Haibara Ai:"……"

Just when Haibara Ai was dazed and was about to answer this question seriously, there was a rustling sound in the bushes behind them, and the two of them immediately looked serious.

This voice...

Chapter 530 The Detective is Dead

Haibara Ai and Mitsuhiko were so scared that they dared not move, because this sound was definitely not the sound made by a small animal moving.

Rustling——

As the two were trying to react calmly after the shock, a brown figure emerged from the bushes.

"Is there any adult topic? Can I let my uncle listen to it too?"

The one who followed him out from the bushes was Qin Zhibo.

With the help of the locating spell, Qin Zhibo quickly found the location of the two little ones. When he walked over, he overheard them talking about some "adult topics".

Is adult talk okay? This kid is such a jerk!

So Qin Zhibo stood up and sternly corrected the children that they should talk about children's topics.

Ai Haibara, who was standing by, replied to Mitsuhiko with a very serious expression, "Mitsuhiko, Conan and I are definitely not the kind of man-woman relationship you think..."

After rejecting Mitsuhiko's fantasy, Haibara Ai turned to Qin Zhibo and told him about her experience with Mitsuhiko.

"What? You saw a dead man?"

Qin Zhibo was a little surprised. He didn't expect that Conan's Death buff was triggered in the mountains this time, not in the hotel that looked crowded.

"Yes, I also saw what the man who killed him looked like..."

It was rare that the witness saw not "Xiao Hei" but the murderer's face, which aroused Qin Zhibo's interest.

If I can catch the criminal and then find the body to trigger the mission, will that mean the mission is completed immediately?

In this case, the rating of the task settlement should be very high, perhaps even reaching A level.

At this time, the sound of several people talking was heard in the forest. Qin Zhibo reacted quickly, hugged Haibara Ai and Mitsuhiko, and lay in the bushes to observe secretly.

……

In the open space around the bushes, three men who looked like hunters were searching for prey with their hunting rifles on their backs.

"This is clearly a bear's paw print, and this bear was very large..."

One of the middle-aged hunters with squinting eyes looked up at the towering tree next to him and analyzed it.

An old hunter with a scruffy beard nearby said seriously, "If it's that thing, then it's possible..."

"That thing?" asked another young hunter with narrow cheeks and a frivolous tone of voice.

"It's the one-eyed black bear - Jubei. She's over two meters tall and has a sworn feud with humans. We'd better stay away from her territory..." said the old hunter with some awe.

"Oh? So the rumors are true. Hehe..." The young hunter laughed sinisterly, "It's worth coming all the way here to hunt..."

"If that bear called 'Jubei' dares to show up, I can take it out in two or three strikes with my skills."

The unshaven old hunter glanced at the confident young hunter, his lips moving slightly, but he said nothing.

At the same time, Qin Zhibo and the two little ones quietly observed the three hunters, and Guangyan, one of them, pointed tremblingly at the murderer among the three.

"It's, it's him..."

"Which one?" Qin Zhibo confirmed.

"It's the oldest hunter." Haibara Ai confirmed the murderer that Mitsuhiko was referring to.

Qin Zhibo fixed his eyes on the old hunter, clarifying his target and his own plan in his mind.

"Wait here for a moment, I'll catch him."

After saying that, Qin Zhibo squatted in the bushes and shouted loudly.

"Everyone! Don't shoot!"

The three hunters in the clearing turned their heads at the sound, but because it was the voice of an adult human, they did not raise their guns.

Qin Zhibo slowly stood out from the bushes, and an adult in a brown windbreaker appeared in the sight of the three hunters, making them feel a little strange.

"Are you a hunter too? Why can't I see your hunting rifle?" asked the middle-aged hunter.

Qin Zhibo spread his hands, a helpless expression on his face. "I'm not a hunter, I'm just a tourist who accidentally got lost. I was squatting in the grass to take a shit."

The purpose of Qin Zhibo's explanation was to make the murderer relax, but the two little ones hiding in the bushes had a strange feeling.

Qin Zhibo walked between the three hunters. The middle-aged hunter was the first to ask, "This is a hunting area. You need to cross two barbed wire fences to enter. How did you get lost and walk here?"

Qin Zhibo showed a perfunctory smile on his face, "Actually..."

Before he could finish his words, Qin Zhibo turned around and kicked the old hunter in the crotch before he could even start talking.

The old hunter had never experienced such a thing in his life. He immediately fell to the ground in pain, screaming in agony.

The two hunters nearby saw this scene and immediately widened their eyes in surprise. They shouted at the stranger in front of them, "What are you doing!"

Qin Zhibo immediately raised his hands and explained to the two, "I am a detective, but I am actually a murderer, and the person I killed is someone in this forest."

"Think carefully, both of you. Besides the three of you, is there someone you know who came in but has disappeared for a long time?"

In fact, Qin Zhibo raised his hands not to show that he was not a threat, but to prevent these two people from refusing to listen to his explanation, or being accomplices of the murderer and wanting to aim a shotgun at him, so that he could subdue them both.

Although a hunting rifle is a gun, it is not as useful as traditional fighting techniques in such a close distance situation when the gun is carried on the back.

After being shocked by Qin Zhibo's identity as a detective, and the disappearance of the person Qin Zhibo mentioned, the middle-aged hunter next to him remembered.

"My friend went up the mountain this morning and asked me to bring him some bullets, but I still haven't found him..."

"Then he is 80% likely the deceased. I have children here who witnessed this old man killing someone."

Qin Zhibo's words calmed the middle-aged hunter down for a moment, and he asked, "Where is the child now?"

Qin Zhibo was just about to turn around and point out the location of Mitsuhiko and Huihara to the middle-aged hunter when he saw a tall and majestic figure appear in the woods not far away.

It was a one-eyed black bear, its only intact eye flashing scarlet.

"What a big bear!"

"It's Jubei!"

The young hunter and the middle-aged hunter exclaimed in surprise. They reacted for a second and simultaneously set up their hunting rifles and pointed the muzzles at the big black bear.

The old hunter, lying on the ground unable to move, watched the two men preparing to use guns against Jubei and wanted to speak out to stop them, but his voice was too weak and no one heard it.

The young hunter fired the first shot, followed closely by the middle-aged hunter.

Pa——pa——

After two gunshots, although the bear hit the target, the bullets of this caliber were not fatal to the bear's physique. Instead, it enraged it and ran towards the direction of the gunshots.

The two fired two more shots, but still hit the thick skin and failed to completely stop the black bear's attack.

The hunting rifle could only fire two shots at a time, and the two men hurriedly prepared to reload the bullets, but the black bear slapped the middle-aged hunter away with one slap.

The other young hunter panicked, dropped his hunting rifle, and the bullets in his hand scattered all over the ground. He turned around and started running away.

But turning your back to the black bear will make it mistake you for prey.

The black bear pounced on the young hunter and his screams echoed in the forest. Soon the young hunter lost his arrogance.

The old hunter lying on the ground saw this scene, glanced to the side, and couldn't bear to watch any longer.

However, the big black bear was not hungry at this time. He just stood up immediately after noticing that the prey under him no longer resisted, and sniffed the air with his nose.

Soon, it determined the direction again, which was the direction of its own children.

……

While the black bear was gnawing on the young hunter, Qin Zhibo climbed up a nearby tree and hid with the super agility granted by the [Gift of the Golden Tree].

Qin Zhibo, with his human body, definitely couldn't fight a black bear of this size head-on, so he could only avoid it temporarily.
