Conan Rick's Investigator

The other people in the living room were also puzzled when they saw this scene.

This Qin Zhibo doesn’t even know the “Earth Ladies Team”, and Hoshino Terumi doesn’t recognize Qin Zhibo’s face.

How can these two people interact?

Could it be that after seeing that Kaoru Kusano, who was his worst enemy in the ladies' team, was engaged, he decided not to be outdone and wanted to find one too?

……

Amidst everyone's puzzled gazes and Qin Zhibo's own confusion, the two walked into the small room of the apartment.

"Ms. Hoshino, is there something I can help you with?"

Qin Zhibo was still rational. Of course, he didn't think that this woman he had never met fell in love with him at first sight. It was probably because she wanted to entrust him with something.

Stalkers, threatening letters, and the like.

Hoshino Terumi nodded generously, "Yes, I want to ask, do you still remember Kudo Shinichi?"

"Kudo Shinichi..."

Hearing this name, Qin Zhibo sighed unconsciously.

The name is not familiar, but the person is quite familiar.

Seeing Qin Zhibo sigh, Hoshino Terumi's heart skipped a beat.

Is it... too late?

At this moment, her mind had already imagined the horrific scene of Kudo Shinichi sinking into Tokyo Bay and suffocating in the blue-black sea water.

Qin Zhibo, knowing that Hoshino Terumi wanted to inquire about Kudo Shinichi, did not answer directly. Instead, he asked, "Kudo Shinichi is the high school detective, right? Why are you asking about him?"

Hoshino Terumi was silent for two seconds, her voice a little heavy, "Actually, I'm his fan, and I really want to know about his recent situation..."

"Hmm..." Qin Zhibo pondered for a moment and was not very surprised.

Kudo Shinichi has many female fans, whether they are attracted by his looks, talent, or money, which is normal.

You just want to know the whereabouts of Kudo Shinichi, why do you want to find out about yourself?

Just when Qin Zhibo was about to ask this question, Hoshino Terumi's face suddenly turned stern and she asked seriously, "Did Kudo Shinichi offend the big man behind Souwa Sontoku and was retaliated against?"

"Shuyu Zunde?"

Qin Zhibo paused for a moment, his mind recalling this long-forgotten name.

This was exactly the name of the murderer in the first case he handled in this world, an old man in a wheelchair pretending to be lame.

Seeing Qin Zhibo's surprised expression, Hoshino Terumi thought her reasoning was correct and quickly added, "Because Kudo Shinichi solved that case, the people behind Sowa Sontoku held a grudge against Kudo Shinichi and took revenge."

"It's the Suzuki Group, right? I know that Soba Sontoku is backed by the Suzuki Group..."

As the largest conglomerate in Japan, it would be easy for a small detective to disappear from the world, and naturally became Hoshino Terumi's imaginary enemy.

However, as soon as this idea was put forward, Qin Zhibo couldn't help laughing.

"what?"

"Ha ha--"

Sonoko wants to kill Kudo?

Although Kudo ruined Sonoko's trips more than once, Sonoko never held a grudge against him.

Seeing Qin Zhibo laugh out loud, Hoshino Terumi was stunned for a moment, and asked with an unhappy look on her face: "What are you laughing at? Is my reasoning wrong?"

Is this reasoning?

Isn't this just a blind guess?

Qin Zhibo used the same expression of "Old Man on the Subway Phone" to be puzzled for a moment, then turned into an honest man and nodded.

"Well, that's wrong."

Unconvinced, Hoshino Terumi pressed on, "What's wrong?"

"It's not that one thing is wrong, it's that everything is wrong..."

Qin Zhibo's answer surprised Hoshino Terumi. Just as she was about to ask another question, Qin Zhibo answered it first.

"First of all, there's a big problem with your hypothesis. It's that I was the one who solved the Souha Residence case. Kudo Shinichi only assisted me in my deduction."

"Even if someone from Suoyu Zunde wants revenge, it should be against me."

"You?" Hoshino Terumi looked Qin Zhibo up and down in disbelief. "Impossible, absolutely impossible..."

"I don't mean to offend you, but the truth is that the news released by the media all said that Kudo Shinichi solved the case."

Seeing that Hoshino Terumi didn't believe it, Qin Zhibo was helpless.

At that time, I was indeed not very famous, and I didn’t know that detectives in this world would hold press conferences after solving major cases, so I just took a taxi and left.

This led to most media outlets directly assuming that the case was solved by Kudo Shinichi based on his presence in the mansion.

Anyway, it couldn't be the Japanese police.

Therefore, in the eyes of most people, this case is also the credit of Kudo Shinichi.

What's more, Hoshino Terumi has an idol filter, which makes it even more certain.

For those who are star-chasing, their idols don’t even require any effort to use their sphincters, let alone solve a case.

In this situation, Qin Zhibo also knew that he couldn't explain it clearly.

"Forget it. If you're really worried, someone who experienced that case will come over later. You can ask her in person."

"But it's best not to say that Kudo Shinichi is your idol, otherwise..."

"She might be upset."

Chapter 736: The Infector of Misfortune——Mouri Kogoro

The "she" that Qin Zhibo mentioned was of course Ran Mouri, who attended the banquet with Kudo Shinichi at that time.

Although Kudo Shinichi was the one who deduced the truth about the Suoyu An case, it was Qin Zhibo who found the evidence.

Inspector Megure knew this.

Because Kudo Shinichi had said in front of Qin Zhibo, Mao Lilan and Megure that the credit for the case belonged to Qin Zhibo.

And when it came to recording the final statement, Kudo Shinichi slipped away first, while Qin Zhibo was more honest and recorded his statement.

The content of the confession was that Qin Zhibo found evidence.

As for who ultimately deduced the case, this will obviously not be recorded in the police case files.

Therefore, the outside media generally believe that it was Kudo Shinichi who solved the case, but the police files tend to believe that it was Qin Zhibo who found the key evidence and provided the greatest help in solving the case.

Of course, the file does not completely fail to mention Kudo Shinichi's achievements.

For example: Kudo Shinichi shot the suspect's head with a globe, causing the suspect to have a concussion, which led to the trial of the Sowa case being postponed for two months.

But Qin Zhibo didn't care much about what happened.

Anyway, just tell Terumi Hoshino to stop guessing.

……

“She’s unhappy…?”

Before Hoshino Terumi knew who Qin Zhibo was talking about, Qin Zhibo had already turned and walked out of the room.

When I opened the door, I saw Yoko Okino lying outside the room eavesdropping.

"That, that..."

"I'm not here to eavesdrop on your conversation. I'm here to change clothes..."

As she spoke, Yoko Okino shook the clothes in her hand. They were pink and very cool.

"Oh." Qin Zhibo didn't mind. "We've finished talking. Please go ahead."

At this time, Terumi Hoshino also walked out of the room. When she saw the clothes in Yoko Okino's hand, there was some helplessness in her eyes.

"Please, do you really want to change into those embarrassing clothes?"

"Of course……"

……

Qin Zhibo returned to the living room and looked at the people who were still alive.

Toru Amuro and Kaoru Kusano's agent was busy between the kitchen and the dining room, while Osamu Kenzaki and Yuki Takeno were sitting on the sofa watching TV, which was playing "Detective Samonji".

I counted the people and found one was missing.

"Hmm? Where's Miss Kusano?"

Yue Yexue raised her head and said, "Axun went to take a bath and will be out before dinner."

Qin Zhibo: "..."

Walking alone is dangerous!

Although Qin Zhibo still doesn't know who among the four "wild" people will be killed, it is undoubtedly very dangerous to act alone at this time.

For safety reasons, Qin Zhibo felt it necessary to place a guard totem in the bathroom.

This is just for safety reasons!

Qin Zhibo first lay on the sofa, threw the guard totem into the bathroom, and then closed his eyes.

When the Guardian Totem's vision was connected to his brain, Qin Zhibo saw...

A pair of huge bare feet stepped on the tiles, and two white and thin legs soared up like Optimus Prime.

The perspective of the guard totem is somewhat gentlemanly, but unfortunately the angle cannot see further up, but there is no doubt that this is Kaoru Kusano's leg.

What are you standing for?

Go wash...

Qin Zhibo's lips felt a little dry.

At this moment, a pair of big feet suddenly jumped up in the sight of the guard totem.

Then, a frightened scream was heard from the bathroom in reality.

"what--"

The shrill screams immediately broke the harmonious atmosphere in the apartment, and everyone rushed out of the living room and dining room.

"what happened!"

"It seems to be the sound coming from the bathroom..."

Kaoru Kusano's agent, the taciturn man with glasses, rushed to the bathroom at the speed of love and knocked violently on the bathroom door.

"Axun! What's wrong with you?!"

"What happened!"

The agent blocked the bathroom door and asked about the situation, causing Qin Zhibo and Amuro Toru next to him to glance at Kenzaki Osamu who was standing silently behind.

How could this be?

Isn't he going to be engaged soon? Why is he so indifferent?

At this time, Kaoru Kusano's voice came from the bathroom.

"Nothing, just a spider that appeared in the bathroom and I swatted it to death."

Qin Zhibo: "..."

"How did you clean the bathroom? There was a spider that big crawling around on the floor?"

Kaoru Kusano questioned the man with glasses in a domineering tone, but the man with glasses just lowered his head, admitted that it was his fault, and promised to clean the house properly in the future.

But Kaoru Kusano still refused to give in and replied coldly: "Humph, do you think there will be a future for us?"

Man with glasses: "..."

"Forget it, go ahead. I'm going to take a bath..."
