Conan Rick's Investigator

Conan was a little surprised. He felt that the version of the story he heard from Haibara Ai was completely different from the version described by Qin Zhibo himself.

One was almost dead, the other was a small scene that was described lightly.

"That's all...isn't that enough?" Qin Zhibo replied.

Conan: "..."

Seeing that Qin Zhibo had returned with all his parts intact and was still in the mood to tease Conan, Huiyuan Ai raised her hand to wipe away the tears from the corners of her eyes and chuckled, "Come to think of it, you can actually outrun a bear. Maybe your running ability is good enough to participate in WSG..."

"What is WSG?" Qin Zhibo was a little confused.

Conan was startled and looked at Qin Zhibo as if he were a native. "Don't you know WSG? It's the World Sports Conference that happens every four years!"

"what?"

"Forehead……"

"Oh."

Qin Zhibo used three interjections in a row, representing his inner feelings from doubt to helplessness, and then to acceptance.

At this time, the three little ones beside them excitedly interrupted, "We also know that this year's World Sports Congress will be held in Tokyo, Japan!"

Qin Zhibo recalled the history of the Olympics. It seemed that this year was indeed the year for the Olympics, and it was also the 100th anniversary of the birth of the modern Olympic Games. However, the venue seemed to be Atlanta, USA.

Well, whatever you say is what it is...

The originally depressing atmosphere was revitalized because of Qin Zhibo's survival. Not long after, new news came from the police.

Jubei was shot dead.

Although Qin Zhibo's headshot did not kill Jubei directly, it did injure part of his head. When the hunters and police found it by following the blood trail, the black bear's body was already difficult to move.

At the old hunter's request, the police allowed the old hunter to send Jubei away personally.

As the one-eyed black bear named "Jubei" closed his eyes, a burly man far away in Nagano Prefecture shuddered and looked up at the distant sky with his deep one eye.

In fact, the longest lifespan of a black bear in the wild is only 25 years. The old hunter met an adult Jubei 20 years ago and was saved by Jubei in the wild, mistaking him for a member of the same species.

In other words, Jubei was nearing the end of his life.

As for the bear cub, the police plan to send it to a local zoo, thus saving it from being legally hunted.

……

After staying in the hotel for one night, Qin Zhibo secretly paid attention to new calls, but the Black Organization still did not call him.

Could it be that he has changed his mind and doesn't want the new person anymore?

The next day, Qin Zhibo and his group left, and they didn't spend much of their travel expenses because all the matsutake mushrooms were lost along the way.

After saying goodbye to Mao Lilan, the Junior Detective League and others at the intersection of Beika Town 2-chome, Qin Zhibo returned to his detective agency.

The first case after returning to Tokyo was solved relatively smoothly. Except for the part where I was chased by a giant bear, it was a relatively stable one.

Qin Zhibo took off his brown windbreaker and went into the bathroom to wash his face. Just as he was about to find something to eat from his food reserves and watch TV to relax his tired body from the journey, he heard a knock on the door.

Snap, snap, snap...

Qin Zhibo looked at the time. It was only 9:00 in the morning. The opening time was so accurate that it must be a very important matter to be entrusted, and the client was very punctual.

Qin Zhibo walked over to open the door, and a wheat-skinned man came into view.

The man's hair color is a rare light golden color in Japan, and his purple pubic hair is also somewhat rare. The slim-fitting dark blue jacket and jeans perfectly highlight his somewhat muscular figure.

Foreigner?

Qin Zhibo, who had just returned from the United States, had a vague feeling about this and looked at the information above his head again.

-

Name: Toru Amuro

Sex: Male

Age: 29

Occupation: Waiter

Social Credit: 1700

-

Qin Zhibo was a little surprised by the information of this guest. It was clearly a Japanese name, but he had the appearance of a foreigner. He should be a mixed-race like himself.

"Hello, Mr. Qin, my name is Amuro Toru."

The man's voice was crisp, and the smile on his face exuded confidence from the inside out, making Qin Zhibo instantly feel that he was different from all the clients he had received before.

The other clients came to him because they encountered difficulties, and there was some uneasiness, confusion, and hesitation in their eyes, but this Amuro Toru was completely different.

"Hello, please come in..."

Qin Zhibo did not show his first impression. He led the person to the seat in front of the service desk according to the normal procedure, and then poured a glass of ordinary boiled water in a disposable paper cup and placed it in front of Amuro Toru.

"How can I help you?" Qin Zhibo asked in a more official tone while sitting in the boss chair.

Toru Amuro sat upright, his expression still confident.

But the next second, what came out of his mouth surprised Qin Zhibo.

"Actually, I came here to apply to be your assistant."

Qin Zhibo was stunned, and before he could reply, Amuro Toru continued speaking.

"Actually, I'm also a private detective, and I usually receive small commissions from the neighborhood..."

"But in my daily detective work, I often feel that I am inadequate and immature in many aspects, so I want to learn from experts in this field."

"Your fame as a renowned detective is well-known throughout Tokyo. I would be honored to learn the art of detective work from scratch under your tutelage."

"Please accept me!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Toru Amuro suddenly stood up and bowed solemnly to Qin Zhibo.

Chapter 533 Waiter Detective's Protagonist Character Card

In the office, Qin Zhibo looked at Amuro Toru who suddenly bowed to him. Besides feeling it was a bit sudden, he just wanted to complain.

You're just a waiter, why would you be a private detective?!

Elementary school detectives, high school detectives, sleeping detectives, mystery novelist detectives... now even waiter detectives are going to appear?

If this continues, what professions and what kind of people in this world cannot become detectives?

Maybe in the end, even the madman living in a mental hospital can become a detective...

"Well...don't be so anxious. If you want me to take you in, you should at least introduce yourself in detail first, right?"

Qin Zhibo did not refuse immediately, but asked Amuro Toru to introduce himself.

"No problem..." Toru Amuro sat back in his chair and began to introduce himself.

"My name is Toru Amuro, I'm 29 years old, and my main job is working in a restaurant. My side job is as a private investigator... Of course, this is completely different from being a teacher."

Amuro Toru is very sweet-mouthed. In Japan, the title of "teacher" is a title that only highly respected people in certain specific professions can bear. Detectives are not among them.

After all, the entry threshold for detectives is so low, ridiculously low.

"What is your specialty?" Qin Zhibo continued to ask.

"My specialties are cooking, housework, driving, and a little bit of reasoning ability."

Qin Zhibo nodded, looking at the young man in front of him while estimating the value of Amuro Toru in his mind.

While Qin Zhibo was looking at Amuro Toru, Amuro Toru was also quietly observing everything in the office and analyzing the corresponding conclusions in his mind.

The office decoration is simple - minimalism

Living in the office - workaholic, single, simple private life

A strange metal disc on the door—a peculiar collecting fetish?

A Closed Bedroom Door—A Secret?

Within a few seconds, Toru Amuro grasped some information that he had never known before through observation.

In fact, this is not the first time that Toru Amuro has learned about Qin Zhibo.

Last time, when his informant was framed, Toru Amuro, who was not convenient to show up in person, temporarily requested his superiors to send someone to solve the case, and the person arranged was Qin Zhibo.

As a result, the case was handled cleanly and neatly, and Toru Amuro remembered this recently rising uncle-level detective.

This time, the boss who was newly transferred from the Japanese Ministry of Public Security asked him to contact this private detective named Qin Zhibo.

The reason is simple, this person may join the black organization!

Toru Amuro asked the new boss what was going on, but the boss didn't say anything.

"I can only confirm that he is on our side..."

The boss's evaluation of Qin Zhibo was just this one sentence, which left Toru Amuro, who was in charge of the mission, confused.

According to his recent undercover work in the Black Organization, the organization is currently very cautious in recruiting new members. Even he has not heard of any new members joining. Instead, they are frequently clearing out old members.

I heard there were massive personnel changes at the experiment, and a defector named "Sherry" appeared...

Of course, even if there are new members joining the organization, he may not be able to find out, after all, the organization’s HR is his mortal enemy - Gin.

Gin's main job in the organization is HR, responsible for the recruitment and dismissal of organization members, but the dismissal is only a physical "dismissal".

Therefore, regarding the organization's plan to recruit a famous detective as a member, Toru Amuro could not confirm the authenticity of this information.

Although it was passed down from his superior boss, Toru Amuro could not fully trust this airborne leader.

As far as he knew, he was the only undercover agent of the Japanese Public Security Bureau lurking in the organization.

Excluding the possibility that Gin is also an undercover agent of the Ministry of Public Security, the possibility of this boss obtaining this information is infinitely close to zero.

In addition, this boss was previously taken out of Arkham Asylum, so Toru Amuro has reason to suspect that his brain has not recovered completely.

With various reasons, Toru Amuro decided to make contact, but he wanted to do so without revealing his identity.

I happened to find out that Qin Zhibo's office only has one person and often misses commissions. I wonder if I can apply for the position of detective assistant.

……

Sitting in the boss chair, Qin Zhibo is considering the personnel appointment of Amuro Toru.

Before, Qin Zhibo didn’t know that as long as a private detective is famous enough, he can hire an assistant. This is quite convenient.

If I join a black organization in the future, I will definitely not be able to take care of the office. After a long time, I will definitely be suspected.

After all, he now has two personalities, one is a foreigner - Michael Bay, and the other is a famous detective - Qin Zhibo.

The persona of a famous detective is his last guarantee. If his activities in the organization are exposed, he can withdraw at any time.

Therefore, his detective agency must continue to operate normally no matter what, and no one must discover that "Qin Zhibo = Michael Bay".

In this case, hiring a detective assistant is undoubtedly the best solution when one is unable to handle everything in two places.

However, Qin Zhibo is still a novice when it comes to hiring a detective assistant, so he needs to understand the market conditions first, such as the most important salary and benefits.

In addition, even if you buy a cabbage in the supermarket, you still have to pick it out carefully, let alone someone who can make decisions in the office when you are out.

If he could find someone with Conan's level of reasoning, he could rest assured even if his firm was "under trusteeship", at least it wouldn't damage his social credit.

As for this young waiter, although he gave me a good impression, he was still a little bit lacking in quality.

Cooking - I don't have a kitchen here and I don't need one.

Do housework - the office is too small, there is nothing to clean, and it is not necessary.

Driving - I can drive myself, no need.

Reasoning——Hehe…

To sum up, this young man lacks core competitiveness in the workplace, so it would be more practical for him to hire a female assistant.

However, Qin Zhibo was still very grateful to this young man for making him realize that there was such a thing as a detective assistant in this world.

"From our conversation just now, I can sense that you are very outstanding and well-mannered..."

"It's just that I don't need an assistant at the moment. If it's convenient for you, you can leave your contact information. When I need an assistant, I will consider you first."
