Qin Zhibo looked down at Conan, with a fatherly smile that Conan couldn't refuse.

"Yeah, hehe..."

Conan curled up his lips and could only bear the loss of being dumb with a smile.

Hui Yuan Ai had a cold look on his face and silently watched the whole process, murmuring in his mouth.

"fool."

At this moment, the policeman who had just spoken to the Young Detective Team also asked in a rough voice.

"You look familiar. Could you be the arsonist I investigated before?"

Qin Zhibo turned to look at the policeman next to him. He had a stocky figure, a wide chin with a mountain-shaped beard, and a flat head that looked like it had been trimmed with a ruler.

The name above the head is Gongchang Police Department.

Police Department Zhang?

"I'm an arsonist?"

Qin Zhibo smiled slightly. "If I were the arsonist, with my foreign-born face, it wouldn't be easy to forget, right?"

In fact, this police officer Zhang had already recognized Qin Zhibo's identity. He just wanted to take advantage of the communication and did not want to lose momentum, so he said this deliberately.

After all, not all police officers are like Inspector Megure, who wants detectives to "interfere" in the cases they are in charge of.

Police Officer Zhang was slightly stunned when he heard Qin Zhibo's answer. He didn't expect that his words could be easily deciphered.

Qin Zhibo didn't want to make the atmosphere too tense, so he directly extended his hand.

"My name is Qin Zhibo, and I'm a detective."

Police Officer Zhang looked at Qin Zhibo's extended hand. It would be stingy to refuse, so he could only accept it.

"Inspector Yuminaga, Fire Investigation Division 1, Investigation Section 1."

"Hello, Officer Zhang."

Gongchang Police Department: "?"

After the two shook hands, Qin Zhibo turned his head and asked the young detective team for information.

With the chirping of the three little ones and the appropriate supplements from Conan, Qin Zhibo quickly understood why several people appeared here.

It turns out that the son of the landlord of Mima Village Apartment went to Didan Primary School.

When Qin Zhibo was renting a house before, he met the landlord's son, named Sugiura Kairen.

This Sugiura Kaito recently discovered that a certain tenant in his apartment would behave suspiciously at night.

In order to find out what this man was doing, Sugiura Kaito found the Young Detective Team.

However, Sugiura Kaito had his own activities in the evening yesterday, so they agreed to spend the night in the apartment after school this afternoon.

It only takes one night to figure out what this person is secretly doing.

But when the Junior Detective Team came to offer warmth today, they didn't expect that the "warmth" had arrived early, and the Trojan Village had been burned to ruins.

"So, the fire started last night?"

After listening to the description of the Junior Detective Team, Qin Zhi

Bo was a little surprised.

He originally thought it was a normal fire during the day. With Tohru Amuro's skills and Shuichi Akai's intuition, there should be no danger.

But if there is a possibility of arson, it may not be safe.

Fortunately, he turned to Police Officer Zhang behind him and learned that the fire did not cause too many casualties.

"Except for the landlord and the kid named Kairen, who is still unconscious in the hospital, all the other tenants escaped in time."

"Three other tenants were out when the fire broke out, and it seems they only returned this morning..."

"But if what these children say is true, perhaps this incident was not an accident."

Police Department Zhang listened to the exchange between Qin Zhibo and the child, and unknowingly fell into the rhythm of solving the case.

"Where are those three people now?" Qin Zhibo asked.

Inspector Zhang replied, "They came once this morning. They asked them to take a statement, leave their identification and contact information, and then let them go."

"I'll have someone call them back now..."

Police Officer Zhang put his pockets in his pocket and walked to the other side to arrange his men.

After Inspector Zhang left, Conan asked curiously, "Uncle Qin, are you here to look for Dr. Agasa?"

Qin Zhibo thought for a moment and shook his head, "No, uncle came to Muma Village to look for my apprentice."

"apprentice?"

Conan and the three little ones were puzzled together.

Immediately, Conan remembered that Qin Zhibo did have an assistant before, or a student, in short, there was such a person.

When Ai Haibara, who was standing next to him, heard Qin Zhibo mention "apprentice", her eyes immediately widened.

It's him!

Haibara Ai's mind recalled the handsome dark-skinned blond guy. This man had triggered radar warnings for him more than once before.

After several contacts, the heart palpitations caused by the radar warning gradually weakened, but the uncomfortable feeling still existed.

Later, this person disappeared from Qin Zhibo's office.

Qin Zhibo himself said that he was going back to his hometown to do some things and would not be able to come back for a while.

It turns out that this person lives in Mima Village?

Next door to Dr. Agasa's house?

Hui Yuan Ai's expression gradually became serious, with a trace of fear in his eyes.

She quietly tugged on Conan's sleeve, gesturing for him to take a step to speak.

Conan looked back and saw Hui Yuan Ai's strange expression. He was a little surprised and followed her to the back of a police car.

"What's wrong?"

"That person..."

"Who?"

As soon as Conan finished speaking, he remembered that Hui Yuan Ai once said that he felt the aura of the black organization in Qin Zhibo's apprentice.

But first of all, Conan himself still has reservations about Haibara Ai's radar reaction.

After all, people can identify a specific group of people by intuition, which has no scientific basis.

Secondly, Conan himself did not find any abnormality in that apprentice.

Besides, if he was really a member of the organization, it would be impossible to hide it from Qin Zhibo's eyes.

Now, Conan still recognizes Qin Zhibo's strength.

"Don't worry, there's absolutely no way any member of the organization is lurking around Qin Zhibo..."

Huiyuan Ai frowned, "But, what if Qin Zhibo is also wrong?"

"He made a mistake?"

Conan did not answer immediately, but seriously thought about Haihara Ai's concerns.

After a few seconds, he replied, "I can sound out Qin Zhibo again and confirm this person's background."

"Yeah." Haibara Ai nodded, agreeing to this plan.

After the two discussed, they walked out from behind the police car and happened to see Qin Zhibo making a phone call.

"Uncle Qin, are you calling your apprentice?"

Conan put his hands behind his back, showing a harmless expression.

Come forward and talk to him.

Qin Zhibo didn't hide it and nodded in response.

"Yeah, but he didn't answer the phone. He must be busy right now..."

"What are you busy with?"

"Busy..." Qin Zhibo suddenly realized that Conan was asking him for information. He turned to look at Conan who was lower than him and said unhappily, "How would I know what you're busy with?"

"Tell me~"

"Just because I think you look like my dad..."

In order to obtain information, Conan risked his old face.

And this sentence is not in vain, it also reminds Qin Zhibo that the two of them spent a period of time in a parallel world as a father and son.

Once a father, always a father!

Seeing that Conan was so obsessed with Tohru Amuro's information, and having just caught a glimpse of him and Haibara Ai going to the back of the police car to discuss things, Qin Zhibo probably guessed what was going on.

He should be suspecting that Toru Amuro is a member of the organization.

Logically speaking, Qin Zhibo can reveal more inside information to Conan.

But if Conan is told that Toru Amuro is an undercover agent in a black organization, Conan will definitely find a way to intervene against the black organization.

At present, Qin Zhibo does not want Conan to bear too much danger.

After Gin's death, Conan's clues to trace the black organization were almost interrupted.

In the winery, Conan also knew Vodka and Belmode, but these two people never showed up, making it difficult for Conan to meet them.

Strictly speaking, as long as Conan and Haibara Ai do nothing, they are very safe.

It doesn't matter even if Conan is a little arrogant when solving cases, because no one in the organization is too obsessed with tracking down the whereabouts of "Sherry", let alone whether Kudo Shinichi is dead or alive.

Scotch is not gin, he has his mission.

When he can overthrow the black organization and hand over the original drug A into Conan's hands, he can proudly say——

Son, this is what your father does for you!

Be moved! Feel free to be moved!

However, in order to dispel Conan's current concerns, Qin Zhibo plans to tell Conan about Toru Amuro's superficial identity.

He took Conan aside and whispered, "You just want to know the true identity of my apprentice, right?"

Looking at Qin Zhibo's posture, he seemed to be telling an earth-shattering secret.

This made Conan swallow nervously and nodded.

"Actually, Xiao An's true identity is..."

"Working Immortal!"

"what?"

Conan was stunned. What does "working immortal" mean?

Qin Zhibo explained earnestly, "Xiao An's life is actually quite difficult. His family's financial situation is very poor. In order to send money to the sick at home, he has to work several jobs."

"He was my student before and originally wanted to become a private investigator, but he gave up because he couldn't find enough time to work part-time and a family member's illness worsened."

"I recently heard that he rented an apartment here and is taking care of a sick family member. I came to visit him with some gifts."

"After all, we are master and disciple..."

Qin Zhibo said it very sincerely, and Conan believed it immediately.

All doubts and misunderstandings were instantly lifted, and a look of satisfaction appeared on his young face.

“I see!”

Just as Conan was about to leave, he was grabbed by Qin Zhibo.

"Conan, look, this Mubazhuang apartment is also on fire. Can you help me now?"

"What's the favor? Tell me~"

"It means letting Xiao An and his relatives live in your empty house."
