Conan Rick's Investigator

"Finally someone found the treasure!"

Conan and the others suddenly turned around to look.

I saw a dark shadow slowly walking out from between the trees in the forest.

The person who came was not Mr. Clock, but a middle-aged man wearing brown trousers and a blue shirt. He was not good-looking and looked like an ordinary passerby.

But this uncle was holding a revolver in his hand, which made him look extraordinary.

There are others here!

Conan's face changed when he realized this, and he subconsciously protected Haibara Ai behind him.

The middle-aged man walked out of the hidden woods and came to the front of the Young Detectives with a pistol in hand, a twisted smile on his face.

"Thanks to you, I finally found the treasures left behind by that stubborn old man... Now they're all mine!"

Before Conan could reply, Genta and Mitsuhiko jumped out from behind.

"These are Yuriko's treasures!"

"Yes! Don't try to take it away from me, you adult!"

"Bullshit!" The man seemed to be irritated and suddenly shouted, "These treasures belong to me!"

"I am the grandson of Yin Shichuan Gangsan! I am the heir listed in the will!"

The middle-aged man's words made all the children look stunned, especially Conan.

The middle-aged man seemed to open up and explained in a nostalgic tone, "Ever since his first wife died, Yin Shichuan Gangsan has been obsessed with the past. Even the four angel statues here are modeled after his first wife's face."

"But in the eyes of my mother and several uncles, he was a man who was indifferent to his offspring, so after they reached adulthood, everyone left here one after another."

"Although my uncles and my mother would come back to see him occasionally, they would usually end up having a big argument and leave on bad terms."

"Three years ago, my mother was seriously ill and needed money for surgery. I found him, but he refused to lend me a penny!"

"If I hadn't suddenly heard that this old man had died last year, I wouldn't have been willing to apply to return to Gunma Prefecture to be a police officer!"

"He owes me all these treasures!"

The middle-aged man told his experience, which shocked Conan and others.

This person is actually a policeman!

Could it be that because I called the police last night, I startled him in the police station and let him know that someone was solving the mystery.

No wonder the police I called never came!

It turns out that the problem lies here!

After explaining his past, the middle-aged man pointed his gun at everyone again and asked, "Are there any descendants of Yin Shichuan Gangsan among you?"

"Who is it? Stand out and let me see."

Genta and Mitsuhiko subconsciously protected the frightened Matsunaka Yuriko, but this actually pointed out the target for the middle-aged man.

The middle-aged man looked at the little girl with twin ponytails and guessed, "You must be the granddaughter of some uncle, right? According to seniority, you should also call me uncle."

"It's a pity that we have no grudges against each other, but for the sake of the treasure here, I have no choice but to get rid of all those who know about it."

"If you want to blame someone, blame that damn Matsunaka. He clearly said that the rules of the will don't allow hiring detectives, but he asked you to hire the famous detective Qin Zhibo for help."

"Tell me, where is the detective now?"

"Have you already gone in there to look for treasure?"

The middle-aged man's words made Conan confused. He had no idea what he was saying.

Where did Song Zhong come from? Isn’t the executor of the will a clock?

And where did Qin Zhibo come from? Wasn't it the Junior Detectives who were commissioned?

Just when Conan realized that things were not simple, a figure was quietly approaching the middle-aged man from behind.

Before anyone could react, a vicious kick suddenly came from between the legs and hit the middle-aged man in the crotch.

"Ouch~~"

A scream cut through the night sky.

The extremely severe pain made the middle-aged man's leg nerves tense, the flesh on his face twisted in pain, and his body slowly fell to the ground.

The situation reversed in an instant. Everyone in the Junior Detective Team looked closely and saw that the person who came was Qin Zhibo.

"Uncle Qin!"

Everyone had a happy expression on their face and felt extremely safe.

Qin Zhibo walked forward, kicked the police revolver out of the middle-aged man's hand, and carefully identified the middle-aged man's face.

His name is Nakajima Kazuki and he is a policeman.

Qin Zhibo had some impression of this person.

When I asked for directions at the Gunma Prefectural Police Station yesterday, it was this policeman standing guard at the door who told me the way to the Angel's House.

As luck would have it, this person happened to be related to the Angel's House, and therefore misunderstood the purpose of his visit.

He must have participated in a puzzle challenge targeting the heirs of a will before, and happened to meet a famous detective who asked for directions to the Angel's House. Naturally, he guessed that the heirs behind the will used cheating methods and hired a famous detective to solve the puzzle.

"Uncle Qin! Why are you here?"

The Junior Detective Team also ran over at this time, and the leader Conan asked Qin Zhibo.

Qin Zhibo was just about to get over to the Enigma Lake when a black shadow suddenly flashed across the shadow of the angel projected on the ground, and the "Angel's Trumpet" disappeared.

"The horn is gone!" Mitsuhiko shouted.

Conan quickly turned his head to look in the direction of the East Pavilion Lighthouse, but the distance was too far and the glaring light from the spotlight made it difficult to see what was happening there.

But the shadow on the ground already revealed everything.

A figure jumped off the lighthouse, and then a pair of wing-shaped wings spread out behind the figure and flew into the sky.

Conan noticed the surprising change in the shadow on the ground, and his mouth opened in shock, his eyes wide open.

What's this!

Wings are growing from the back of a person!

Looking at all the people here, Mr. Clock is the only one not here. Could it be...

Qin Zhibo also looked at the shadow on the ground, then looked up at the sky. The owner of the figure was flying quickly away from this dangerous place in the night sky.

Successful.

In order to ensure that the plan was foolproof, Qin Zhibo quietly watched Mr. Clock return to the lighthouse.

In fact, when Conan told Mr. Clock where the treasure was and wanted to get rid of him, it just ran forward for a while and hid in the woods.

After Conan and others ran over, Mr. Clock returned to the lighthouse and took away the fragments.

Its purpose has been achieved.

And my goal was achieved.

……

Conan was very confused and wanted to chase after him, but Qin Zhibo reached out and grabbed Conan's shoulder.

"It's no use, he's already flown away."

he?

Conan's face was startled, and he suddenly realized something, "Could it be..."

"That's right." Qin Zhibo nodded righteously.

"My purpose here is to track down the magic thief who wanders in the darkness..."

At the same time, Kuroba Kaito, who was sitting in front of the computer at home concentrating on studying his next target for theft, suddenly felt an itch on the tip of his nose.

"Ah sneeze——!"

"Ok?"

Chapter 933 Son inherits father’s legacy

"Ah sneeze——!"

Kuroba Kaito, who was staring at the computer screen, sneezed loudly.

"Ok?"

"Have a cold?"

"It's not a good time to catch a cold. After all, someone has already sent out an invitation..."

On the computer screen, a bald, white-bearded old man smiled and took a photo with a pure gold statue of the goddess of the sea, who was holding a huge blue gem in her hands.

Next to the computer keyboard was a copy of today's morning newspaper, with the front-page headline reading "Warning to Kaito Kidd."

Ever since he found the real "Pandora's Stone", Kuroba Kaito hasn't taken the initiative to look for those legendary large gems for some time.

In addition, with Kaito Kidd's return to the world, collectors of large gems are afraid of Kidd's stealing skills, and have hidden the gems they own. How could they dare to display them publicly?

But just this morning, Kuroba Kaito saw a notice in the morning newspaper.

The general meaning of the notice is that a rich and weird old man obtained the legendary "Blue Miracle" abroad, and used it as bait to invite Kaito Kidd to come and steal it.

Since the "Pandora's Stone" has been found, there is no need for Kuroba Kaito to steal the gems anymore.

But he remembered what Qin Zhibo said, that he had to continue pretending to be looking for gems in order to hide the fact that he had already found the real Pandora's Stone.

So, Kuroba Kaito, under the identity of Kaito Kid, just sent a text message to this rich, weird old man, accepting the challenge in a high-profile manner.

However, before taking action, Kuroba Kaito also needs to find out the opponent's information first.

Only by knowing yourself and your enemy can you win every battle without danger.

"Suzuki Jirokichi, consultant of the Suzuki Group... Oh, so he's from that big group~"

When he failed to find the Pandora's Stone, Kuroba Kaito remembered that he had also tried to steal the "Dark Star" collected by this family.

Maybe he wants revenge?

But since you invited me sincerely, I will play with you.

Kuroba Kaito had a happy smile on his face.

Without the psychological burden of searching for Pandora's Stone, he can focus more on his magic performance.

This is what a magician should really do.

"Then let's have a magic show after such a long absence!"

……

Angel's House.

Conan was stunned for a moment, and the character described by Qin Zhibo immediately appeared in his mind.

Under the moonlight in the night sky, a figure whiter than the moonlight stood in the air, and a mysterious smile appeared on the handsome face under the monocle.

Kaitou Kidd!

If you think about it this way, flying in the night sky with the help of the glider on his back, targeting various gems in the world, and the constant sense of mystery around him... these are indeed the characteristics of Kaito Kid.

At this time, the three little ones also reacted after hearing Qin Zhibo's words.

"Could Mr. Clock be Kaito Kidd?"

"Kaito Kidd! Where is he?"

Qin Zhibo smiled at the children and said, "He has already flown away~"

"Ah? Oh..." The three little ones sighed in frustration after failing to meet the famous magic thief.

Conan stood there with a frown, still thinking.

Although flying in the night sky, stealing gems, disguising oneself as someone else, investigating the background of the Junior Detective League, and convincing everyone's parents to rest assured, these aspects are very similar to Kaito Kid's behavior, but there is a kind of weirdness that is hard to explain.

For example, Kaito Kidd almost always appears in a high-profile manner and has a strong desire to perform, but this time he didn't even bother to show up in person.
