On the doorplate on the wall at the entrance of a house, there were four big characters written on it: "Kudo Shinichi".

Conan:

"Zun Du Fake Du?"

"this……"

Conan stared blankly at the house number above, unable to believe his eyes.

Although the writing is different, the pronunciation of these four characters is exactly the same as "Kudo Shinichi"!

Unexpectedly, not only did people imitate my face, but also my name!

While Conan was stunned, a familiar voice came from behind the two of them.

"Yoho?"

"What a coincidence, you guys just arrived here too?"

The two people at the door turned around and suddenly found Qin Zhibo standing not far behind them.

"Eh?"

Conan and Hattori Heiji were both stunned and asked in confusion, "Uncle Qin, why are you here?"

Facing the two's questions, Qin Zhibo stepped forward with a smile and said, "My office is a little free today, so I thought I'd go to Mr. Maori's office for a stroll..."

"Then I heard from Mr. Mori that the Osaka kid brought his girlfriend to Tokyo to investigate something. Since I had some free time, I decided to come over and take a look."

girlfriend?

Hattori Heiji looked startled, and his dark face instantly turned red.

Why is this Maori uncle talking nonsense?

Fortunately, Heye and Mao Lilan went shopping and were not here...

"By the way, I heard from Mr. Maori that you left at 8 o'clock in the morning. Why are you here only now?"

"Did you go do something else during your stay?"

Qin Zhibo asked casually as he walked over.

This shocked the two of them at the same time. Sure enough, they couldn't hide anything in front of Qin Zhibo.

But after all, Hattori Heiji is good at pretending, and with a roll of his eyes, he decided to throw dirty water on his good friend.

“Y-It’s this guy!”

"It was Conan who asked me to take him to see some Kamen Rider store first. I'm really annoying the kid..."

Hattori Heiji's seemingly seamless performance made Conan next to him give him a sharp look.

Stupid!

Doesn't this clearly tell Qin Zhibo that he has other matters?

If it were in the past, when Conan was still Conan, this reason might have been useful.

But now Qin Zhibo has regarded Conan as Kudo Shinichi, and the two of them have also had a private conversation about "equal status". He must know that this is a made-up reason!

Conan turned to look at Qin Zhibo again, but saw that Qin Zhibo just said "Oh" meaningfully and didn't ask any more questions.

"All right……"

"Now that we've had enough fun, let's get started investigating the case."

Hattori Heiji and Conan looked at Qin Zhibo who walked between them, and the former corrected him in surprise.

"We're just here to inquire about some situations, not necessarily the case..."

Qin Zhibo turned around, with a sincere smile on his mixed-race face.

"Now that you're here, the case has arrived, hasn't it?"

Hattori Heiji: "?"

With that said, Qin Zhibo glanced at the house number on the wall and chuckled.

"And look, this householder's name is so unlucky..."

Conan: “?”

Chapter 1228 The long-lost main mission

As Qin Zhibo pressed the doorbell, a woman's voice came out from the doorbell pager.

"Please, who is this?"

Two "pleases"?

Qin Zhibo was surprised, but still introduced himself in a calm tone.

"I'm a detective hired by Mr. Kudo Shinichi."

Hattori Heiji, who was standing behind, glanced at the back of Qin Zhibo's head with displeasure.

Obviously I am the one!

"..."

However, the woman inside the door did not respond after listening to Qin Zhibo's introduction.

"strangeness……"

Conan looked up at Hattori Heiji and asked, "That sounded like a woman's voice just now?"

"Doesn't this 'Kudo' live alone?"

Hattori Heiji patiently explained for his good friend, "I heard that after he returned to Tokyo, he hired a nanny to take care of him, and it seems that he no longer goes to the company and stays at home."

As soon as Hattori finished speaking, the sliding door at the door opened.

A fat woman carefully poked her head out, her eyes constantly scanning the three people standing at the door.

When he saw Qin Zhibo, the leader, he was obviously surprised.

“Um, um…”

"Mr. Kudo seems to be still asleep, please come in first..."

Conan: Mr. Kudo sounds so awkward. It always feels like he is calling himself...

Qin Zhibo found that the woman looked very nervous, which logically shouldn't be.

Fukawa Zhoujiang, 39 years old, housekeeper...

The basic information above her head seemed fine, but why was she nervous?

……

Under the leadership of the housekeeper, several people put on slippers and entered the house.

But when she was at the door of the bedroom, the housekeeper suddenly stopped and turned back to speak to several people.

"that……"

"Mr. Kudo has a rule that no one is allowed to bring sharp objects into his room, so please leave your belongings outside the room..."

The three of them looked at each other, what kind of strange rule is this?

Although Hattori Heiji and Conan didn't say anything, it was a bit unpleasant to have to obey some inexplicable rules even though they were here to help for free.

Qin Zhibo took the initiative to ask, "Is Mr. Kudo afraid that someone will come and assassinate him?"

"This..." The housekeeper looked a little hesitant.

"In that case, go in and wake him up, and have him come out to see us."

"I'm afraid that won't work..." The housekeeper's eyes became uneasy again. "Actually, ever since I came to Mr. Kudo's house, he never left this room again..."

"What does this mean?" Hattori Heiji stepped forward. "Then how does he eat? And go to the bathroom?"

After questioning by the three people, the housekeeper revealed Kudo Shinichi's weird rules.

It turns out that since Kudo Shinichi returned to Tokyo, he has been staying at home and relying on his housekeeper to take care of him.

I eat in the room every day and eat directly with my hands without using utensils.

Going to the toilet is done in the room using a bedpan, and the housekeeper will clean it every morning when she comes.

Not only that, he moved all the furniture out of the bedroom, including the bed, and transformed the room into a very strange look.

Also, the room door is not allowed to be opened for a long time. It must be closed immediately within five seconds of opening, and it is not allowed to be opened unless necessary...

There are countless rules like this one, all of which are measures to prevent the curse of the "demon dog".

After listening to the housekeeper's story, both Conan and Hattori Heiji showed helpless expressions.

What's the magic dog curse? Isn't it just the fear of death?

But hasn’t he already given up his inheritance rights? Logically speaking, he has lost the value of being killed...

After the discussion last night, Ke Fu and Maori Kogoro all agreed that this was the most common

Property competition.

The eight adopted children saw that their adoptive mother was not going to die soon, and the Inubushi family's property was huge, so they naturally had their own thoughts.

Qin Zhibo feels that these actions taken by "Kudo Shinichi" are not to prevent criminals, but to prevent the "Grim Reaper" in "Final Destination".

Otherwise, it would be impossible to be cautious to such a neurotic level.

"Well, since Mr. Kudo has concerns, we'll just follow the host's wishes and leave all your belongings here..."

Under Qin Zhibo's suggestion, Conan and Hattori Heiji couldn't say anything.

The three of them placed their mobile phones on the table, as well as keys, wallets and other personal belongings.

It feels like going through airport security, only a little more morbid.

Because just when Hattori Heiji put down his belongings, including the amulet, and was about to walk towards the bedroom, the housekeeper asked him to take off his hat again.

"what?!"

"Even hats are not allowed?"

Hattori Heiji pointed to the peaked cap on his head. This hat is his reasoning state switch, and it is also one of the most important differences between him and Kudo Shinichi.

Conan frowned slightly, feeling that this was a bit too much.

No matter how worried you are about someone coming to harm you, you shouldn't even be allowed to wear a hat, right?

Not the Razorbacks...

"I'm so sorry, this was Mr. Kudo's request, and I was just following it..."

Hattori Heiji looked at the housekeeper with serious eyes, and then at Conan and Qin Zhibo who were already standing at the door of the bedroom ready to enter.

After weighing it a bit in his mind, he decided to take off his hat.

The three of them all placed their personal belongings in the living room according to the rules. Then the housekeeper walked to the bedroom door and knocked on the door.

"Mr. Kudo, we have a visitor..."

"Mr. Kudo?"

There was no answer from behind the door.

The housekeeper gently opened the door, and the light from the corridor shone into the room. An unpleasant smell that had not been cleaned for a long time hit her face.

In the dimness, I saw a man with a plump forehead lying flat on the tatami, covered with a thin cool quilt.

Hattori Heiji pinched his nose and complained bluntly, "It stinks. How long has it been since this place was cleaned?"

"Mr. Kudo didn't let me clean..." the housekeeper quickly explained.

Although Conan was too short to pinch his nose, he was a little surprised when he saw Kudo Shinichi lying peacefully in an empty room without any furniture.

How could anyone live in a place like this?

That's not all the strangeness of this room.

All the corners, walls and door gaps in the room were covered with white plaster to form a relatively gentle arc, and the windows were completely sealed.
