Conan Rick's Investigator

All the soldiers involved in this operation were vague about the exact location of the mining area, they just knew it was nearby.

But in fact, the camp is located less than 300 meters from the mining area, which is quite close.

Except for Yusaku Kudo, Kogoro Mori, Conan, and two communications soldiers who stayed behind to be responsible for battlefield command and support dispatch, everyone else in the tent went to the mining area.

Originally, Mouri Kogoro also wanted to go, but after everyone's advice, he still stayed in the camp.

After all, he has not been a policeman for so many years, and his marksmanship has long since deteriorated. Even in explosive state, he does not know how to use other hot weapons other than pistols.

In other words, the people who finally went to the mining area were Lupin the Third, Daisuke Jigen, Goemon Ishikawa, Inspector Zenigata, and Tomohiro Hata and his son.

Needless to say, the Lupine III gang has seen similar dangerous scenes before. Except that the battle targets were aliens, there was nothing special about this battle.

The Zenigata Police Department had the same reason, and he couldn't take his eyes off Lupine III.

In order to return to the original world, Qin Zhibo and Conan must seize any possible opportunities with their own hands.

For example: Mi. Ge found out that he was about to be defeated, and then used the ore to teleport again. Maybe he could return to the original world?

In short, Qin Zhibo is not sure what may happen next.

After crossing a 300-meter mountain road, the 500-person group arrived around the mining area like a long dark dragon.

No plants can grow in the huge circular gray area, which appears particularly bare and conspicuous under the night vision goggles.

According to the previous arrangement, 500 people arrived at their respective combat positions one after another and surrounded the entire mining area.

Next, it’s Qin Zhibo’s performance time.

Qin Zhibo climbed alone to the hill where he lurked when he first came here to observe the mining area.

His right hand materialized the [Magic Flute], and he first familiarized himself with the fingering of that piece of music in the air.

Then, he took out the loudspeaker he had just used in his speech from his backpack.

"Hello? Hello—"

"1, 2, 3..."

After confirming that the trumpet was turned on, Qin Zhibo summoned a substitute and asked the substitute to hold the trumpet while he started playing.

call……

As he blew in, the terrifying bone flute sounded.

The sound of the flute is then amplified through the loudspeaker to the entire mining area below.

Benedict——

A harsh and monotonous flute sound instantly resounded throughout the mine and even the nearby woods.

The soldiers crawling in the grass all made ugly expressions and frowned.

It sounds really bad...

Chapter 1129 War begins!

Benedict...

Dude, Dude——

The extremely unpleasant flute sound spread destructively toward the forest below the hill.

The originally monotonous flute sound was like a devil's howl, but with the help of a loudspeaker, it was sublimated into the roar of countless amorphous stupid flute players.

This is not a deliberate performance, but more like a casual performance.

The unpleasant noise spread over the mining area, and then covered the soldiers who were ambushing in the surrounding grass. Everyone couldn't help but look embarrassed.

What song is this?

It's ugly, it's really unpleasant...

The soldiers secretly complained in their hearts. They didn't know the purpose of the "mysterious man" playing this song, but it was definitely not a charge.

Could it be that they want to use noise to lure aliens out of the ground?

It seems impossible. If those ugly aliens could hear this song, they would probably just hide deeper in the mine...

Unlike the soldiers, although Lupine III and others knew Qin Zhibo's plan, they did not know that the music he was going to play was so ugly.

This is all nonsense!

Including Conan, if he hadn't known that Qin Zhibo had "absolute perfect pitch", he would have suspected that the song was played completely wrong.

Just when everyone was skeptical, there was a rustling sound in the dark forest.

Countless trivial sounds gradually became denser and louder, overpowering the unpleasant flute body and attracting the soldiers' attention.

A soldier looked back and saw that the trees behind him and the lower grass were shaking strangely.

The soldier stared at the darkness and unconsciously swallowed the saliva he secreted due to nervousness.

They were ordered to remain stationary no matter what happened until they received a formal order to fire.

As a soldier, it is your duty to obey orders.

The soldiers could only stare nervously and uneasily, wondering uneasily what was coming behind them, and they did not even dare to turn their guns around.

This is the terrifying sound made by some kind of animal moving quickly...

This is...a mouse!

The soldier's eyes widened in surprise as he saw a small four-legged animal called a "rat" rushing out from the bushes.

They come in groups, constantly emerging from dark hiding places, and their four little legs are fidgeting in the grass at extremely fast speeds.

When the soldiers saw this incredible scene, no matter how determined they were and no matter how fearless they were of rats, they could not help but scream in surprise.

But the targets of these rats were not them. Each dark and small form directly bypassed each prostrate soldier, running like crazy in the direction where the flute sounded the loudest.

……

On the hill, Qin Zhibo played to his heart's content.

Just like Conan doesn't realize that he's tone deaf when he sings, Qin Zhibo, who plays, doesn't realize how bad his playing is.

When he finished playing a piece of music by himself, he looked back and saw that mice had climbed all over the hill.

The mice are like a layer of dark, three-dimensional lichen, "dying" the originally green hills black.

In the moonlight, this layer of "lichen" is given a beautiful black luster.

Are these all the rats that [The Magic Flute] can summon so far?

Qin Zhibo took a quick look and was quite satisfied with the number of rats here. As expected, there were still many rats in the wild.

It's just that when the number of rats increases, even the air you breathe has a strong fishy smell.

But Qin Zhibo didn't care about that.

He unmoved put the substitute away and the loudspeaker also put it back in his backpack.

When the rats are all gathered together, there is no need for loudspeakers to amplify the sound.

Immediately afterwards, Qin Zhibo picked up the magic flute again, put it in front of his mouth and blew it.

Benedict——

Although the flute sound this time was much quieter than the one played just now, it seemed to be more beautiful because the scale became clearer?

The mice all lifted

He started to stare at Qin Zhibo who was standing on the hill.

Qin Zhibo turned his head, jumped up, and slid down the slope of the hill.

Immediately afterwards, the mice that climbed all over the hill also jumped down from the hill.

Countless dark shapes jumped from the edge of the hill, rolled down the slope, and jumped, as spectacular as a downpour or a raging flash flood.

The soldiers looked at the hills and widened their eyes in disbelief when they saw this scene.

This is...a miracle!

At the bottom of the hillside, which is also at the very edge of the mining area, the wire protection fence here has been cut in advance.

Qin Zhibo bent down and got into the protective net while playing the magic flute.

The rats behind them rolled down the hillside one after another, their bodies turning over nimbly, like the waves caused by waves crashing on the rocks.

After only slightly delaying the progress, the mouse that landed on the ground continued to follow Qin Zhibo.

In the sight of everyone, Qin Zhibo was walking slowly in the mining area.

Behind him was a large black mass of huge rodent legions arranged in a triangle shape.

"This is……"

At the command center 300 meters away from the mining area, Kudo Yusaku, Maori Kogoro and "Conan" saw Qin Zhibo appearing in the mining area.

What is even more eye-catching is the object behind him that follows him like a "black carpet".

The resolution of the security camera wasn't sharp enough to see what the "carpet" was made of, but based on pre-war meetings, they knew it was rats.

Tens of thousands of rats…

The eyes of the three people were full of shock, and the two soldiers in charge of communications were even more stunned.

They didn't expect the scene to be so spectacular.

They never expected that Qin Zhibo actually successfully controlled the mouse...

……

In the mining area, Qin Zhibo played his flute and guided the countless rats behind him, slowly approaching the center like waves on the sea.

He didn't stop until he reached the entrance of the dark underground mine.

Immediately, his fingers that blocked the air holes of the bone flute changed, and the tune immediately followed.

The boring tune that was so gloomy and terrifying just now suddenly turned into a high-pitched howl like a beast, and the scream was extremely harsh.

This stupid flute sound seems to disturb the minds of mice, and the dark and round eyes of all mice are filled with a layer of bloody mist.

Suddenly, the army of rats spread out their four pointed claws and rushed towards the dark mine ahead.

Countless rats poured in one after another, as if black seawater poured in.

In other words, the mine was like a bottomless abyss, mercilessly devouring the mice.

During this period, Qin Zhibo could hardly move because there were rats in front, back, left and right. If he moved even slightly, he might step on these crazy rodents.

After waiting like this for more than a minute, all the mice finally got into the mine.

Inside the mine, the rustling sound of the rats moving gradually faded away, as if they had already gone deep into the mine.

I guess we'll meet soon...

Qin Zhibo didn't care to continue listening to what was going on below, and quickly ran out of the mining area and behind the defense line set up by the soldiers.

"Wow! You're really good! I didn't expect you could actually control mice..."

Seeing Qin Zhibo running back, Lu Bang III took the initiative to talk to him.

During the observation just now, Lupine III concluded that the flute in Qin Zhibo's hand must be a big treasure.

Lupin III had seen a kind of hypnotic powder before that could hypnotize and control people. That thing was a consumable and was already priced the same as gold.

If I could get this big treasure, I wouldn’t be able to take off!

Lupine the Third opened his arms, pretending to hug Qin Zhibo, but in fact he wanted to wait until he got close to him, and then steal the flute with the skillful hands of the Phantom Thief.

However, Qin Zhibo saw Lupin III's little trick and bent his body to avoid Lupin III.

The hands of the world.

cut……

Lupine the Third felt a little disappointed in his heart. The money-shaped police station next to him saw Lupine deflated, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly.

Qin Zhibo returned to Conan, and the "father and son" looked at each other. The former climbed up the big tree next to them to observe the situation in the entire mining area.

Without the sound of flutes and mice, the forest fell into silence again.
