Conan Rick's Investigator

Hearing this, Judy realized that she was misunderstood and quickly said, "No! No! I just wanted to ask Maori something and then I'll leave."

……

Five people sat down in the water bar in the lobby on the first floor of the Mihua Building.

"Here's the thing. I want to ask you two, have you encountered any perverts recently?" Judy asked Mouri Ran and Suzuki Sonoko seriously.

Seeing the confused expressions of Mouri Ran and Suzuki Sonoko, Judy continued to explain.

"The Teitan school girl has been getting attacked by perverts every time she rides the train or bus lately. It must be very troublesome, right?"

Suzuki Sonoko shook her head with a somewhat dull expression, "I haven't encountered that before..."

"Besides, if any dishonest guy like that comes and harasses us, Xiaolan will beat him to pieces with karate!"

Suzuki Sonoko suddenly raised her little fist violently, looking a little cute.

"Oh~Mori-san is a bodyguard!"

Judy also remembered the last incident in the game hall and knew that Mao Lilan had some skills.

This should be a reminder to Shuichi Akai not to get too close to Ran Mouri, otherwise... someone will get hurt.

When martial artists compete with each other, it is inevitable that someone will get hurt.

However, Judy doesn't think that the one who was injured would be Shuichi Akai, after all, Shuichi Akai is currently the ace of the FBI.

That’s right, Judy came to confirm whether there was any “****”, but what she really wanted to confirm was whether Ran Mouri had discovered Shuichi Akai.

According to Shuichi Akai, he had met Ran Mouri last year. At that time, he was hunting down Vermouth who was disguised as the silver-haired killer, and his FBI identity might have been discovered by Ran Mouri.

If he continues to follow Vermouth with his current appearance, he will be at risk of being discovered by Mouri Ran at any time.

So Judy came to Ran Mouri to test the waters and see if she had discovered the existence of Shuichi Akai.

It seems that Ran Mouri hasn't noticed Shuichi Akai yet.

This made Judy breathe a sigh of relief.

"But you still have to be careful. If you see anyone suspicious near your home, call me immediately~" Teacher Judy relaxed her expression again and smiled playfully.

"Tell the teacher?" Ran Mouri and Sonoko Suzuki were stunned. Shouldn't they call the police for this kind of thing?

"Don't underestimate this shameless guy. If you let me know, the teacher will definitely let him experience how Americans deal with erotic freaks!"

At this time, Toru Amuro, who was observing silently on the side, also remembered that he had seen a black Chevrolet pickup truck monitoring the Water City Building at the door of the Water City Building.

After returning, Toru Amuro went to the vehicle management office to investigate and followed the clues to find the car rental company that provided the car.

According to the description of the rental company staff, the man who came to pick up the car was a tall man with handsome features. He wore a black knitted hat on his head and had a sharp look in his eyes that was a little scary.

These descriptions immediately reminded Toru Amuro of the man he regarded as his nemesis, Dai Moroboshi.

Toru Amuro knew that Dai Moroboshi had returned to Tokyo as early as the Nishitama City incident, and he had also seen him near the Tomohiro Detective Agency before.

This time it was Shuidu Tower again, which meant that he must have some purpose.

There were two policemen on a blind date in Shuidu Building at the time, so there was no reason for him to follow the policemen.

The only ones left are Qin Zhibo, Mao Lilan, Conan and his group.

Qin Zhibo has me by his side, so I don’t have to worry about missing his message.

If you're tracking Mao Lilan...

Thinking about this, Amuro Toru immediately put on a harmless smile and said:

"If you spot any suspicious people, please give me a call. I'm very good at dealing with them..."

"Especially the guy wearing the black knitted hat, please be sure to notify me as soon as possible."

ah-

Akai Shuichi, who was far away in Beika Town, sneezed loudly.

Chapter 675 Conan, don’t be shy~

Wearing a black knit hat?

Why is it so specific?

Conan, Ran Mouri, Sonoko, and even Qin Zhibo didn't understand.

Only Judy was silent for a moment, thinking of Shuichi Akai's appearance in her mind.

Are you talking about Shuichi Akai?

This man...does he have any misunderstanding about Shuichi?

……

Everyone ended this strange conversation in silence and prepared to go see the photography exhibition.

Teacher Judy wanted to say goodbye, but Mao Lilan felt that since she was already here, there was no point in going home alone.

"Mr. Kinoshita is a very nice person. If he were here, he would probably be able to make some adjustments."

In the villa with rockery and flowing water, Tomonori Kinoshita left a good impression on Ran Mouri.

Teacher Judy: "Sounds like a nice guy~"

Qin Zhibo: "Ah, yes, yes, yes..."

Suzuki Sonoko did not express any opinion, but quietly looked at Amuro Toru on the other side, thinking about finding a time to present the gift.

Last time, it was also in this department store that Toru Amuro saved Suzuki Sonoko's life.

Last time at Suitoro, Suzuki Sonoko asked Amuro Toru what his favorite color was, and it was green.

So, Suzuki Sonoko carefully selected a gift, carried it with her, and was ready to give it away at any opportunity.

This "anytime" really means "anytime" in the literal sense.

Because Toru Amuro is Qin Zhibo's assistant, Suzuki Sonoko feels that she and Qin Zhibo meet quite often, so the probability of meeting Toru Amuro should be not low.

But when can I find an opportunity to send it up?

If I give it to you now, I feel a little embarrassed.

In public, will passersby misunderstand it as a confession?

Although Suzuki Sonoko likes handsome guys and says that she wants to find a bunch of handsome guys as boyfriends, she is just a young girl satisfying her desire to have sex.

When it comes to the real thing, Yuanzi is still quite shy.

Moreover, for Suzuki Sonoko, who has a consortium background, every move is often not just a personal act, but represents the image of the entire consortium.

Doing something eye-catching in public may, at best, end up in unreliable gossip newspapers, and at worst, it may even affect the reputation of the consortium.

Especially now that I have Ah Zhen, it would be even more troublesome if I was misunderstood as a two-timing scumbag.

Therefore, it is really difficult to find the right time to give this gift.

At this moment, Conan suddenly looked at Suzuki Sonoko with a curious look and asked innocently, "Sister Sonoko, why are you blushing?"

"Ah!" Suzuki Sonoko, who was thinking, was startled and replied angrily: "Why are you asking so many questions, kid?"

Conan rolled his eyes, tsk(???)...

Qin Zhibo reached out and touched Conan's head, laughing: "Haha, this kid is good at asking questions. Maybe he can become a great detective in the future."

Conan: "..."

However, Qin Zhibo's words reminded Conan that there was something he could ask Qin Zhibo, a native American.

On the way home from school today, Mao Lilan said that she skipped class and was given an assignment by teacher Judy, which was about the special meaning of "X".

Conan used his brain to try to help his childhood sweetheart solve his problems.

"X" represents an unknown number in algebra, an X-ray, no entry for those under 18 at the video store, X day, a mistake, a divorce, etc.

But according to the hint given by Suzuki Sonoko, who was listening carefully, this "X" mark is a cute mark, and it is good for girls to know this mark.

This completely stumped Conan, nicknamed "Know-it-all".

Conan only remembered that whenever his mother wrote to him from the United States recently, she would always add a bunch of meaningless "X"s at the end.

When asked what this meant, she didn't answer.

In addition, this little-known fact was taught by an English teacher from the United States, so it is probably some kind of American custom.

And right now, the Americans are right in front of us.

Thinking in his mind, Conan raised his hand and hooked Qin Zhibo's sleeve.

"Ok?"

Qin Zhibo looked back and saw Conan waving his hand mysteriously, indicating that he should go to the back.

Qin Zhibo: "..."

After thinking for a moment, Qin Zhibo walked over cooperatively, bent down, and lowered his head. "Is there something wrong?"

Conan stood on tiptoe, trying to get as close to Qin Zhibo's ear as possible, and whispered, "Do you know what 'X' means?"

"X?" Qin Zhibo was stunned for a moment. "Don't you know what X means? First graders in Japanese elementary schools should start learning the English alphabet, right?"

Conan: "..." There's no one else here, so please stop acting, okay?

In fact, if possible, Conan didn't want to ask Qin Zhibo. After all, Qin Zhibo had the bad habit of "Uncle knows, but uncle just won't tell you."

But Suzuki Sonoko had previously suggested to Ran Mouri that she send a text message to Shinichi, asking what "X" meant.

"If you answer correctly, I will give you the most important "X"~~"

This sentence made Conan very concerned. What if Mao Li Ran accepted this suggestion but he didn't know the meaning of "X", wouldn't it be a huge loss?

The most important X…it’s exciting just thinking about it!

"I don't want to know the literal meaning of X~" Conan said anxiously, "I want to know the special meaning of X, some cute meaning, and it is very important to women..."

Is it important for women?

After being reminded by Conan, Qin Zhibo's thoughts immediately went astray.

Could it be...X*O*?

Conan, I didn't expect that someone like you with thick eyebrows and big eyes would also...

Qin Zhibo's eyes changed and he began to bend down.

Conan looked at Qin Zhibo's actions, thinking that he was going to tell him the answer, and his eyes were full of anticipation.

But when Qin Zhibo got close to Conan's ear, the answer he told him was not what he had imagined.

"Conan, don't be shy~"

After saying that, Qin Zhibo stood up and left.

Leaving Conan standing there in a mess with confused eyes.

……

Tomonori Kinoshita's photography exhibition is placed on the east side of the lobby on the first floor of the department store. The name of the exhibition is the same as the book, both of which are "African Wanderings".

Although it is called a photography exhibition, it is not very large. It is actually an open-air space surrounded by several boards.

A few people checked their tickets and said they knew the organizer and wanted to bring a friend, so the security guard let them in.

When we entered the photography exhibition, there were only about a dozen people browsing the exhibition.

In front of one of the photos, Tomonori Kinoshita, holding an exhibition guide, is talking to a spectator, seemingly explaining the content of the photo.

Qin Zhibo walked straight over, and Kinoshita Tomonori had just finished the conversation and subconsciously turned around to prepare to receive the next guest.

"Hello, may I ask if you have any..."

Before Tomonori Kinoshita could finish his words, he saw the ghostly face of Qin Zhibo.

The face that was originally smiling immediately changed color, his eyes were full of fear, and his slightly open lips were about to scream.

"why you!"
