Conan Rick's Investigator

Kudo Yusaku frowned again, "Why do you think so?"

Qin Zhibo said, "Because whenever he played the flute, the rats in the neighborhood would crawl out of the sewers and come to the old man."

Everyone: "..."

Everyone thought: If there wasn't special bait that could attract mice, then the old man probably raised the mice himself for the purpose of selling the flute.

How could you believe such a low-level deception...

Kudo Yusaku couldn't make a comment. He knew Qin Zhibo's identity and would not do such a stupid thing.

He could only confirm once more, "But even if this flute is useful, it... you wouldn't play the tune the seller plays, right? It's like the Indian snake dance, where they play a fixed tune, right?"

"And if we really want to use this method of warfare, the number of rats we'll need is probably much greater than we imagined..."

Qin Zhibo nodded with certainty, "As for playing, I can learn a simple piece like that after just one play."

Conan believes this statement very much because Qin Zhibo possesses "absolute pitch", which is a pitch that is even more absolute than "absolute pitch".

Although Conan is tone-deaf, he can easily control the piano with his absolute sense of pitch.

"This is the only way right now. Even if it fails, it's better than not trying at all, right?"

Kudo Yusaku's eyes lowered, and now he really made this decision when he had no other choice.

If there were any other way, it would be impossible to believe in the props in fairy tales.

But the problem is...

"How do you know that creature is afraid of mice?"

"I don't know." Qin Zhibo shook his head honestly.

"That……"

"Let me ask you, are humans afraid of mice?" Qin Zhibo asked Kudo Yusaku.

Kudo Yusaku paused and replied, "Some are afraid, some are not, but most people are not afraid..."

"What if there are a lot of them?"

Kudo Yusaku: "A lot? How many?"

The golden mask was small, Qin Zhibo's eyes were calm, and he nodded lightly twice.

"A lot..."

……

Outside the large tent of the command center.

"Hey, are you really going to use that flute?"

Conan caught up with Qin Zhibo who came out to release water and asked quickly.

"Well, do you have any other options?"

Conan gritted his teeth. He wanted to confirm whether Qin Zhibo's method worked just because he had no other way.

But in fact, Qin Zhibo just happened to think of this method and tried his best.

Regarding the actual effects of the Mouse Calling Flute or the [Magic Flute], there is no need to worry.

Qin Zhibo once personally tested the magic flute, and the effect was very strong whether in reality or in dreams.

And with the "sacrifices" of several music-related people in previous cases, Qin Zhibo's Art and Craft (Music) skill level has reached level 3, allowing him to better play the red swineherd's rat-calling song.

And this place happens to be a nature reserve deep in the mountains and old forests. Compared with modern cities, the number of rats is very scary.

The only question is, is the Mi-Go afraid of mice?

In fact, this question is very interesting, because mice have coexisted with humans since the ancestors of human beings.

Human beings do not need to be afraid of rats due to their physical strength.

"Rat" and "cowardly as a mouse" both indirectly confirm that mice are so small and despicable to humans.

Even when hungry, people can eat rats.

Duck neck flavor, crunchy and crunchy.

But humans are indeed very afraid of rats. Some human individuals are afraid of single rats, and human groups are afraid of groups of rats, which can cause rat infestations, plague, etc.

Of course, this is all assuming from a human perspective.

In order to mine the earth or integrate into human society, Mi Go should have no research on other non-intelligent creatures except humans, because there is no need for research.

Once a group of rats appears in the mine, it must be something unexpected by Mi Go.

Even if Mi·Go may not be intimidated, he will certainly be disturbed, making it easier for him to attack.

And you can also increase the aggressiveness of mice by making appropriate changes to the tune...

So overall, this method is worth a try.

After hearing Qin Zhibo's confirmation that he would use this method, Conan didn't know what to say.

As for the rationality of the flute, he was too lazy to complain.

Since entering this world, he has seen many things that he could not even imagine before.

A parallel world, another "self", the alien creature Mi-Go...

A flute that can control mice, assuming it is real, is nothing.

And Qin Zhibo's relationship with mice is indeed good. Conan remembers that he seemed to have a little blue mouse.

But Conan felt a little regretful. Qin Zhibo went to the street to buy so many "treasures" this morning, but he did not follow him.

……

After draining the water, we returned to the big tent. It was already 8:00 in the evening.

There are still two hours before the planned official combat time, and it is time to start the pre-war mobilization meeting.

At first, the 500 soldiers outside thought it was a regular night military exercise.

But soon some keen soldiers realized that this place was very close to the rumored ore field, and something might have happened to the ore field.

In addition, these soldiers were all related to the victims in the mining area, which caused this theory to spread quickly in the camp and soon became the most mainstream.

"It's almost time. Let's gather."

Across the tent, Kudo Yusaku ordered.

"yes!"

The leading soldier turned around and left the tent, conveying the assembly order in the camp.

Three minutes later, a loud report came from outside the camp.

"Report to the commander, all soldiers have assembled!"

Qin Zhibo adjusted the golden mask on his face and solemnly walked out of the tent.

The surrounding searchlights illuminated the entire camp, and 500 soldiers were lined up densely. Looking at these moving heads from above, it was even easy to suffer from trypophobia.

Qin Zhibo stepped on the simple platform made of ammunition boxes and picked up the loudspeaker in his hand, becoming the focus of all the soldiers present.

"Ahem..."

"I am the commander of your operation tonight. You can call me 'Mysterious Man'."

As soon as these words came out, countless pairs of eyes widened at the scene.

If the people standing here were not all soldiers with strict military discipline, I am afraid that the scene would have been full of discussion.

After hearing Qin Zhibo's simple and shocking opening remarks, Kudo Yusaku was stunned for a moment, then smiled.

Mysterious man...

This name is delicious!

Qin Zhibo continued, "Yes, I believe everyone present has realized that tonight is not an ordinary military exercise, but a full-scale military operation."

"As for the target of the operation, it is the mine where Vesbania ore is mined."

"The mine has now been occupied, and the creatures occupying the mine are not human..."

"It's outside

Star creatures!"

Qin Zhibo's words were loud and clear.

If the name of the "mysterious man" just now did not cause discussion, this topic is the one that really makes people unable to help but speak out.

The soldiers at the scene widened their eyes in shock, and some made faint doubtful sounds underneath.

"Yes, you heard it right. The ones occupying the mine are alien creatures."

"Next, I will give each of you a photo of this creature. You can observe it carefully..."

Qin Zhibo tilted his head and signaled.

Then Yusaku Kudo, Kogoro Mori and others took photos of Mi Go and distributed them to the soldiers below.

These photos all show Mi Ge who died during the palace operation. Because Mi Ge has the property of dissolving itself after death, photos can only be used to keep records.

Interestingly, Mi Go cannot be photographed by cameras while alive. Only the period between death and dissolution can the clear impact be photographed.

When the confused soldier got the photo, his confused eyes immediately widened.

In these photos, some of the Mi Ges were cut in half, some were charred, some were covered in bullet holes, and each had their own way of death.

But the only thing that is the same is that these creatures are immediately obvious that they do not belong to the earth.

Their bodies resemble pink crustaceans, with huge membrane-winged wings and multiple segments on their abdomens.

The most terrifying thing is that where the head should have been, there is a huge ellipsoid with no facial features, and the top is covered with a large number of short tentacles.

After the brain received and processed this information in a short period of time, screams of shock and fear were heard from time to time in the queue.

"what!"

“This, this is…”

"What a monster!"

This is also expected by everyone.

These soldiers have gone through training and their willpower is already better than that of ordinary people, but when faced with such a surprising and terrifying existence, they still can't help but scream in fear.

However, there were some relatively calm soldiers who looked at the photos in their hands and discovered some clues.

In the queue, a soldier raised his hand.

Qin Zhibo nodded in agreement, and the soldier immediately asked questions.

"Why do the backgrounds of these photos look like they're set in a palace?"

As soon as these words came out, other soldiers also conducted more careful identifications. Indeed, some well-informed soldiers realized that the location where the photo was taken was the palace.

Qin Zhibo nodded and admitted, "Yes, you are right."

"These photos were taken in the palace."

"And I can tell you that the former Queen Sakura and Prince Gil were killed by these monsters in collusion with Kirad!"

Chapter 1128: It’s really unpleasant…

As soon as the "mysterious man" said this, the soldiers on the scene were in an uproar.

"The Queen and the Prince are..."

"Earl Gerard is actually a concubine?"

"Have these monsters entered the palace?"

The soldiers all had expressions of disbelief and started discussing.

Queen Sakura has a very high status in the Kingdom of Vespania and is very loved by the people and supported by these soldiers.

But things are definitely getting too twisty with Queen Sakura and Prince Gill these days.
