Conan Rick's Investigator

Most of the time, humans do not reflect on their actions.

But when another person does the same thing, that person learns to think about the other person's behavior.

However, he didn't know that Qin Zhibo had already confronted Kudo Yusaku.

"I've already told this world's Kudo Yusaku about our situation, so it's okay..."

"what?!"

Conan screamed and even forgot that he was set as an autistic child.

"It's okay..." Qin Zhibo explained as he opened the lunch box, "Mr. Kudo won't escalate the situation. Besides, if we want to return to our original world quietly, I'm afraid we must have his help."

Qin Zhibo did not tell Conan about his further ideas.

If there is indeed some kind of connection between the original world and this world, and if they can be traveled through stably, perhaps the two worlds can communicate with each other?

But if you want to do this, you must establish long-term and stable contacts in this world.

The Kudo Yusaku in this world is obviously the best person to contact.

"But……"

Conan wanted to say something in rebuttal, but he couldn't think of any reason.

Although it is not the Yusaku Kudo of this world, after all, a good father will have a good son. The "Conan" in this world can do anything, so how could he be a bad father?

"Hmm...it seems like this is the only way..."

Conan murmured, stuffing the baked naan from the box into his mouth.

……

On the street, Lupin III's small group was running in front, followed by Kogoro Mori and Inspector Zenigata.

Originally, Lupin and his gang went out to eat to discuss whether to steal Queen Vespania's crown after the matter was over.

After all, a thief never leaves empty-handed.

Don't forget the original intention, just have to always!

But now with Kogoro Mori and Inspector Zenigata watching them, the four of them had no peace at all along the way.

They wanted to get rid of the two men, but Inspector Zenigata had been tracking Lupin for many years, and Kogoro Mouri was in a state of explosiveness because his daughter's innocence was at stake, so they couldn't get rid of them at all.

In the end, there was no choice but for the six people to sit at two adjacent tables in a small roadside restaurant and hurriedly finish their meal in a weird atmosphere of staring at each other.

"Boring~Boring~"

"Go back!"

After the meal, Lupin III cried out that it was boring and yelled to go home.

The few of them returned to the apartment building. Lupin the Third and Daisuke Jigen went back to their rooms to rest, while Kogoro Mouri watched Fujiko Mine return to the room she shared with Ran Mouri, and only then did he feel relieved.

The only one who broke away from the group was Ishikawa Goemon, who walked alone towards the steps leading to the rooftop.

Qin Zhibo in the room was waiting for Lupin's gang to come back. The moment he heard the noise outside, he observed through the peephole.

After discovering that Ishikawa Goemon went to the rooftop, Qin Zhibo realized that this was a good opportunity and quickly opened the door to chase him.

However, when he reached the rooftop through the stairs and looked around, he didn't see a single person.

"What about people?"

Qin Zhibo was a little surprised, because he clearly saw Ishikawa Goemon walking towards this side.

At this moment, the powerful voice of Ishikawa Goemon came from above the back of my head.

"are you looking for me?"

Looking back, I saw that Ishikawa Goemon was sitting cross-legged on the roof of the attic, two meters above the rooftop, with his eyes closed like an old monk in meditation, and his sword in his arms.

Qin Zhibo was shocked and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

This guy is really amazing...

Although you can reach this two-meter height by yourself, you need to jump up and grab the top edge of the wall with both hands for support.

But judging from Ishikawa Goemon's leisurely posture and the fact that he didn't hear any sound, he just jumped up with a slight leap and even crossed his legs in the air.

"Hello, Mr. Ishikawa."

"Well, for the final battle with Mi-Go in a few days, I want to learn swordsmanship from you."

Qin Zhibo guessed that Ishikawa Goemon was not the type of person who liked to beat around the bush, so he went straight to the point.

"Oh?"

Ishikawa Goemon opened half of his eye and looked down at Qin Zhibo condescendingly.

"You want to learn swordplay from me?"

Ishikawa Goemon was silent for a few seconds, opened his right eye, looked at Qin Zhibo's determined eyes, but closed his eyes again.

"Knife skills require a lifetime of experience. A novice like you who just started learning by chance will never be able to master it if you try to take shortcuts..."

Although Ishikawa Goemon's attitude was indifferent, there was no refusal in his words.

But he thought Qin Zhibo's kung fu was not good enough and it would be a waste of time to practice.

However, he didn't know that a man like Qin Zhibo, who had a system on his side, didn't need "hard work" in the traditional sense.

"Your Excellency is right. Most things should follow regulations and rules, rather than taking shortcuts."

"But this is only for mediocre people..."

"For someone as gifted as me, a few days is enough to equal twenty years of effort for an ordinary person!"

Upon hearing this, Ishikawa Goemon, who was meditating in the attic, frowned slightly.

These words were so harsh that he had to open his eyes and look carefully at the man wearing a golden mask below.

Through the two holes in the mask, he could see that the man's words were confident and not bluffing.

He is really confident, and he exudes an aura from the inside out.

In terms of talent, Ishikawa Goemon is a descendant of a chivalrous thief from the Warring States Period. His swordsmanship is unparalleled in ancient and modern times. He can cut through iron swords with one hand and do what ordinary people cannot.

But even so, he never dared to call himself a "gifted person", but believed that years of hard practice was the right way.

Ishikawa Goemon groaned and suddenly jumped down from the attic, standing steadily beside the masked man.

He said coldly in a somewhat hoarse voice.

"It seems that you really want to compete with me..."

"Well, since you are so confident, I can teach you for three days."

"In these three days, I will teach you all the knife techniques I know. As for how much you can learn, that depends on your ability."

"But in three days, you and I will have a life-and-death duel."

"I will use your claim of 'an ordinary person's twenty years of skill' to verify whether you are exaggerating your so-called talent. Do you understand?"

There was a murderous aura in Ishikawa Goemon's words, which made Qin Zhibo feel a chill penetrating his muscles and bones and going straight into his heart.

This brother is serious...

A life-and-death duel, he wasn't kidding.

But this is exactly what Qin Zhibo wants. Ishikawa Goemon is a pure person. Since he said he would teach with all his strength, he would not hide anything.

As for how much he can learn during this period, neither Ishikawa Goemon nor Qin Zhibo has the final say.

That's what the system says.

……

In order to prepare for the next three days, Qin Zhibo and Ishikawa Goemon found a secluded bamboo forest outside the capital city to conduct one-on-one swordsmanship teaching.

The Japanese cannot clearly distinguish between swords and knives, and the so-called swordsmanship is actually "Kendo".

Qin Zhibo just happened to have kendo skills, a cheap skill he had picked up from a dead person before.

Therefore, Ishikawa Goemon's teaching just corresponds to the "Kendo" skills.

According to the methods summarized previously for rapidly increasing skill proficiency, in addition to extending the learning time, the learning method is an important key that can affect the rate of proficiency acquisition.

The more "correct" the learning method is, the faster you will gain proficiency.

For example, reading multiple language books helps you learn a language faster than reading one language book repeatedly.

If there is a specialized teacher to teach, the speed will be even faster.

And Ishikawa Goemon's achievements in swordsmanship naturally made him the most suitable person to teach.

Even if we remove his supermodel character panel, his swordsmanship is probably the best in the world.

When he arrived at the bamboo forest, Ishikawa Goemon first respectfully placed his Zantetsu sword aside, then pulled out two bamboos from the ground next to him and used the short sword in his arms to transform them into the style of a normal sword.

Even with an ordinary short knife, the movements are still sharp and the work can be completed in no time.

He threw one of the "bamboo swords" to Qin Zhibo and said coldly.

"To find out your current strength, use this to fight me..."

Chapter 1106 Conan: Buddy, go ahead...

In the bamboo forest, Qin Zhibo and Ishikawa Goemon stood with bamboo swords in their hands.

Although it is a bamboo sword, it has no blade. Only the sharpened point on the bamboo tip has lethality. As long as you do not intend to hurt the other party, there is no need to wear protective gear.

"You attack first."

Ishikawa Goemon stood there and spoke coldly.

His left arm is vertical, holding a sword in his arm, the bamboo sword is at his side, and the tip of the bamboo is pointing downwards to the ground.

This is the attitude of a superior towards an inferior, and it does not even take a defensive stance.

Qin Zhibo observed that Ishikawa Goemon was holding the sword with his forehand grip, not his usual backhand grip when slashing.

From this perspective, it also shows that Ishikawa Goemon will not use his true strength in this battle.

But on the contrary, Qin Zhibo must give his 100% strength without holding back.

This not only allows Ishikawa Goemon to understand his own strength and be able to "teach students in accordance with their aptitude", but also allows Ishikawa Goemon to see his own determination.

The eyes beneath the golden mask were filled with a cold murderous aura. Qin Zhibo clenched the bamboo sword in both hands and drew a semicircle in front of him.

When the half circle reached its peak, he pushed off the ground with his right foot and rushed towards Ishikawa Goemon.

Facing the man's attack, Ishikawa Goemon stood still, his eyes slightly narrowed.

When the bamboo sword was about to chop down on his head, Ishikawa Goemon suddenly took action and raised his hand to hold the bamboo sword across his head.

state!

There was a crisp collision sound, which was the collision between bamboo swords, and also a head-on collision of power.

With the strength of only one arm, Ishikawa Goemon firmly absorbed the force exerted from Qin Zhibo's hands from top to bottom.

But the next moment, Qin Zhibo suddenly put away his knife, placed the blade on the side of his cheek, and used the explosive power of his waist and arms to stab towards Ishikawa Goemon's eye socket.

This stab was carried out without any reservation. The force plus the sharp tip of the bamboo were enough to penetrate a human head!

Ishikawa Goemon was a little shocked by the rapidly approaching sharp edge in his pupils. At the same time, he swung his right arm to block Qin Zhibo's bamboo sword.

Qin Zhibo had anticipated that this stab would not succeed, otherwise it would be a joke if a generation of supermodel died at the hands of a level 2 kendo novice like him.

But just as he was about to put away his sword and attack again, Ishikawa Goemon swung the bamboo sword with one arm, and actually clamped the bamboo sword in Qin Zhibo's hand and stirred it together, forming a spindle-shaped green storm.

Qin Zhibo held the bamboo sword with both hands and was barely able to hold on, but at a certain moment, Ishikawa Goemon's bamboo sword hit the back of Qin Zhibo's hand while stirring.

Qin Zhibo felt a pain and his strength subconsciously relaxed, so the bamboo sword in his hand was easily knocked away several meters and inserted diagonally into the ground.

Once the weapon is released, the outcome is determined.

Ishikawa Goemon pulled the bamboo sword back to his side and commented from where he stood.

"As a beginner who wants to learn swordsmanship, you're pretty good."

"His sword strikes and changes of moves are quite decisive, and he knows how to use all his strength. This is probably equivalent to an average person practicing for two years and six months..."
