Conan Rick's Investigator

Today happens to be Valentine's Day, a good time for hormones to burst out.

Haibara Ai didn't know the fifth girl and simply thought that a single uncle of Qin Zhibo's age should have some interactions with the opposite sex to relieve his loneliness.

Forget it, this is someone else's business, it's none of my business...

Haibara Ai breathed a sigh of relief, and her eyes regained their composure.

"I came to bring you some chocolate."

As she spoke, Haibara Ai tiptoed over to Qin Zhibo the small package of chocolate wrapped in Masamichi's chocolate.

"But don't get me wrong, this wasn't done by me. It was done by someone who was thinking about you."

"She spent a week making this chocolate, and I didn't want her hard work to go to waste, that's all..."

Ai Haibara handed the small package of chocolates to Qin Zhibo.

Qin Zhibo stood there in a daze, looked at the chocolate in his hand, and then looked at Huihara Ai.

This package seems familiar, and since it was sent by Haibara Ai, the answer is obvious.

It's the chocolate that Ma Chengshi sent.

It should be giri chocolate, right?

Giri chocolate refers to chocolates that women give to people they are not in a relationship with or admire on Valentine's Day to thank them for their past care.

Qin Zhibo thought for a moment and thought that this little brother must be thanking him.

However, I heard that this kind of chocolate needs to be returned as a gift on White Day, which is one month after Valentine's Day.

A month later, these words seem so far away.

Forget it, let’s think about the future in the future.

Qin Zhibo put the chocolate away, looked at Huiyuan Ai who walked out of the room on her own, and took the initiative to step forward and said, "How about I take you home?"

Seeing that Qin Zhibo was willing to take the initiative to send her off, Huihara Ai did not refuse immediately, but glanced at the room with the closed door.

"Okay, uncle! Take me home!"

Haibara Ai deliberately spoke loudly so that everyone in the room could hear her, and then she got angry and had a quarrel with Qin Zhibo.

Although I can't dissuade them, I'll try to ruin as many as possible.

Qin Zhibo put on a brown windbreaker, escorted Haibara Ai downstairs, and looked around the street.

In fact, Qin Zhibo offered to send Haibara Ai back because he was worried that the Voodoo members lurking nearby would have some ideas about Haibara Ai.

When I came downstairs, I saw that the man who was on surveillance had returned to his post at the entrance of an alley on the street.

Qin Zhibo glanced in that direction without paying attention, then took Huibara Ai to Chengshi Hospital.

……

The Voodoo believers not far away were also a little excited when they saw Qin Zhibo leaving with Huibara Ai.

The surveillance over the past two days, despite the harsh winter weather, is finally paying off!

This detective is going to "return" to the Baron!

Chapter 709: Once Undercover, It's Deep as the Sea

The voodoo believers quietly followed Qin Zhibo, watching Qin Zhibo holding the hand of a little loli from his childhood, and walking away in the night.

According to Dr. Kinoshita, in order to return human souls to Baron Samedi, Qin Zhibo must kill people himself.

What this voodoo believer didn't expect was that Qin Zhibo's target was actually a little girl.

In order to save his own life, a famous detective actually extended his claws to children.

It seems that Dr. Kinoshita was right, Japan is indeed rotten to the core.

The world is deteriorating, and morality and humanity no longer exist in this land.

It's time for a thorough cleaning!

……

Qin Zhibo, who was walking in front, looked back calmly and saw that the man was still following him.

This person's tracking is completely unskillful. Doesn't he really think he can hide from the detective's eyes?

No way, no way?

At this moment, Huiyuan Ai shook Qin Zhibo's arm and said calmly, "Can you let go of your hand?"

It turned out that Qin Zhibo was holding Huibara Ai's hand like holding a child and walking across the sidewalk of the road.

"Holding hands, we can walk without worrying about slipping." Qin Zhibo replied decisively with a line of lyrics.

Haibara Ai:"……"

Haibara Ai was too lazy to say anything, since Chengshi Hospital was not far from here anyway.

Moreover, being held by an adult like this, I looked more like a child who had not yet grown out of his childishness.

Although there is no need to act too childish when interacting with Qin Zhibo in private, it is better to maintain "childish innocence" in public.

It is certain that there are members of the Black Organization lurking in Beika Town.

Toru Amuro, Dr. Arata... these are all suspicious persons, and they all know Qin Zhibo.

What if those guys are lurking around and I happen to be found not to be like a child? As long as their curiosity is a little aroused, they may discover my true identity.

Thinking in her mind, Haibara Ai subconsciously turned around and looked behind her.

It would be fine if I didn't look, but when I did, I saw a figure slightly protruding from the telephone pole not far away.

The shadows cast by other street lamps had already illuminated the figure behind the telephone pole onto the asphalt road, but he was still hiding self-righteously.

This funny look is a bit like an ostrich in danger.

Haibara Ai's expression changed, and her delicate little hands subconsciously clenched Qin Zhibo's warm big hands.

Someone is following you!

Is he from the organization?

But why didn’t I feel it?

Although the other party's tracking technology was very crude, it still caused panic in Haibara Ai's heart.

After a brief thought, Haibara Ai felt that there were two possibilities.

One possibility is that the other party was not sent by the organization, but simply had some personal grudges with Qin Zhibo.

The other type is people in the organization, who are just peripheral members without code names, or have just joined the organization, and the "smell of alcohol" on them is not strong enough, and the tracking technology is not sophisticated enough.

But no matter which one it is, we must find a way to remind Qin Zhibo to be careful.

Just when Haibara Ai wanted to calmly tell Qin Zhibo that someone was following her, Qin Zhibo suddenly shook Haibara Ai's little hand.

"Your hands are sweating..."

Haibara Ai was stunned for a moment, then quickly pulled her hand back using the lubrication of sweat and put it behind her back.

"Ahem, there seems to be someone behind..."

Haibara Ai, who was a little nervous, changed the subject and told her what she had just discovered.

Qin Zhibo tilted his head calmly, looked at Huiyuan Ai and nodded, "I know that. He has been following us since we left the house."

"you know?"

Haibara Ai was a little surprised, but then she thought, since this person could even discover herself, it was normal for Qin Zhibo to discover her.

"Do you know him?" Haibara Ai quietly wiped the sweat off her hands behind her back and continued to ask.

"We know each other..."

As for the name, Qin Zhibo could tell just by looking at his face, "His name is Ishida Masatsugu, and he's a taxi driver."

Huibara Ai was shocked that Qin Zhibo could actually know the other party's background.

However, I can breathe a sigh of relief when I know that this person was not sent by the organization to track me.

The danger was over, and Huiyuan Ai turned into a curious baby again, "What are you going to do with him?"

"Hmm..." Qin Zhibo paused, "Since he likes to follow, we can let him follow."

"Anyway, my current mission is to get you back safely."

"Well, you're home now."

Qin Zhibo suddenly stopped. It turned out that he had arrived at the door of Chengshi Hospital.

"Then be careful..."

Haibara Ai gave some instructions and walked up the hospital stairs. Finally, she stood on the stairs, glanced at Ishida Masatsugu who was still following her, and turned back to the hospital.

After watching Haibara Ai enter the hospital gate, Qin Zhibo also walked away in another direction with his hands in his pockets.

……

The entrance of the alley across the street from Chengshi Hospital.

Masatsugu Ishida couldn't believe his eyes and was trying hard to open them wider to see more clearly.

This Qin Zhibo actually let the little girl go and left alone!

Could it be that his previous assumption was wrong, and this detective really just wanted to send the child home?

In Ishida Masatsugu's opinion, children are indeed easy targets for hunting, and most importantly, their bodies are easy to hide.

How strange...

While I was stunned, Qin Zhibo had already turned around and walked into another alley.

Ishida quickly came to his senses and followed on tiptoe.

Deep in the alley, a dark shadow was walking alone.

Ishida breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately he didn't lose track of her.

But just as he was about to move closer to prevent himself from getting lost further, a piece of mottled white cloth was suddenly stretched out from behind, just covering his mouth and nose.

"Hey... woooooo——"

Before Ishida could scream, his mouth and nose were covered with a white cloth.

As a dizzying stench came over him, his body went limp and his eyes gradually closed.

In the last moment of his vision, he saw a piece of brown clothing.

It was Qin Zhibo who knocked Ishida unconscious.

Qin Zhibo put the [Shroud] that could make people unconscious back into the prop bar, and also took back the [Lord's Ring].

As for the person walking in front, Ishida was not mistaken, it was indeed a dark figure - the Stand User.

Qin Zhibo took back the Stand User and bent down to search Ishida's body.

Although Qin Zhibo said that he didn't care about the little tail behind him, he had already thought of a way to deal with him in his heart.

Because I am going to the Toushen Forest tomorrow, if this guy is still following me, he will definitely inform Kinoshita Tomonori.

Qin Zhibo took the phone from Ishida and skillfully looked through the call records.

There aren't many call records on the phone, but there is a number that was contacted at a fixed time in the past two days.

This number should be Tomonori Kinoshita's number.

Qin Zhibo silently took note of it in his heart and put the phone back into Ishida's pocket.

After doing all this, Qin Zhibo decisively called Officer Megure and told him that he was being followed.

When Megure heard this, he was shocked.

The profession of detective is quite sensitive, and being followed is usually done for revenge.

Before Kudo Shinichi disappeared, Megure had suspected that Kudo might have offended someone and was killed.

Fortunately, Kudo would make a phone call or show up from time to time to make his presence known and let people know that he was not dead.
