Conan Rick's Investigator

"what are you saying?"

"I'm not! I didn't..."

"I'm not……"

Just as the bank man was explaining in a panic, a low laugh came from the long-haired and bearded man at a round table nearby.

"Hey hey hey-"

"I didn't expect the answer to come out so quickly. It's really that simple..."

Before the man could finish his words, a charming lady with long hair came from the east side of the lobby.

"The organizer is actually the one who led everyone into the game from the very beginning?"

"This routine is quite routine..."

After the long-haired sister finished speaking, an old man wearing sunglasses and walking on a crutch, who had changed his skin and appeared again from the west side of the lobby, came over, followed by a fat maid with a fierce face.

"Oh? I heard that the 'Duke of Darkness' has been discovered?"

"Is that so? Shizue?"

The fat maid next to him replied in a deep voice: "It looks like this, sir."

For a moment, the bank man looked in surprise at the other game participants who appeared from all directions just as he was suspected of being the Duke of Darkness.

It turned out that these people did not leave after checking in at the hotel, but had been hiding nearby and observing quietly.

Only I am exposed to everyone's sight, doing the most suspicious actions.

I'm the clown myself?

"Mr. Jiang Yuan from Room 2101, Ms. Kamijou from Room 2102, Mr. Jincheng and Ms. Lin from Room 2001..."

"The Duke of Darkness is definitely not me! Stop talking nonsense!"

"Be careful or I'll sue you for defamation!"

"You are slandering me!"

After saying that, the bank man picked up his computer and turned to leave, but accidentally bumped into a young man who had just come to check in.

When she saw this person, Mao Lilan immediately showed an expression like a little fan girl.

"Are you... Mr. Maeda Satoshi?"

"yes……"

"Indeed! I started learning karate because I admire you!"

Ran Mao Li asked a lot of questions like a little fan girl, which made Maeda Satoshi's fiancée, a short-haired girl named Sayama Akiko, look jealous and dissatisfied.

Qin Zhibo, who was standing not far away, silently counted the characters who appeared one after another as if it was the opening ceremony of a drama.

Including himself, there are 11 people in total, which is exactly the number of the Yin Dou Detective Team mentioned by the administrator.

At this time, the long-haired lady named Kamijou Hideko walked up to Qin Zhibo and the Maori family and asked, "But that's strange. I remember you were supposed to be two doctors with an elementary school girl and a professional writer?"

Mao Lilan explained in disbelief: "Because they couldn't come, so we came instead."

However, Qin Zhibo heard some clues from Kamijou's words.

If the two doctors and the little girl were the places replaced by the Maori family, then the one I replaced was...

Professional writer?

Chapter 154: Only such cadres can withstand such tests (Part )

Professional writer.

This should be the occupation of the administrator logging in to this forum.

However, most of the writers Qin Zhibo heard of were freelance writers, and professional writers were relatively rare.

Moreover, this forum has no identity verification mechanism, so it is possible that the administrator just made up a fake profession.

At this moment, Kamijou Hideko's eyes swept across Qin Zhibo's face, and she suddenly realized, "I think I saw you on the news this morning, the detective who saved the female star Kinoshita Akiko, right?"

Huh? When did I get on TV?

In fact, what Qin Zhibo didn’t know was that the TV station did not interview Qin Zhibo, but interviewed Akiko Kinoshita in the hospital.

At that time, Akiko Kinoshita said that the person she wanted to thank the most was Qin Zhibo, so she thoughtfully posted a photo of Qin Zhibo that was accidentally taken at the scene when he solved a case before.

It was this photo that reminded Kamijou Hideko of the mixed-race face in front of her that was easier to recognize in the crowd.

Qin Zhibo nodded and said, "Yes, that's what happened."

"I am indeed a detective."

detective--

When the most "sacred" profession in the world was mentioned, everyone present looked sideways, shocked, and changed color.

At this time, Maori Kogoro, not to be outdone, straightened his collar and introduced himself: "Actually, I am also a detective, the famous detective Maori Kogoro, that's me."

However, when Kogoro Mouri said that he was also a detective, it was a bit like the second bang of a firecracker and was no longer so scary.

After a few seconds, the people present expressed their different opinions.

The long-haired and bearded man, Tokio Ehara, said: "Two people actually hired a famous detective to act as a substitute for one event. How despicable!"

Long-haired sister Kamijou Hideko: "Well, this is a good thing. At least it eliminates two people."

Art Museum Director No. 2: "Since the two great detectives are here, it's inconvenient for us to stay here any longer. Let's go, Jingjiang."

Fat maid: "Yes, sir."

……

At the hotel front desk, Qin Zhibo got the room number 2000.

The room was booked in advance, so Qin Zhibo asked the name of the person who made the reservation.

The front desk clerk replied, “Qin Zhibo.”

This illustrates two points.

First, the administrator of Nine Angels did not cancel the trip at the last minute, but had no intention of coming in the first place.

Because if it was cancelled midway, it should be the same as the case of the Mori family, the name left by the person who made the reservation was Agasa, not the changed name.

Secondly, the name he registered on the Nine Angels website should be the pseudonym Qin Zhibo, not his real name Vince Qin.

It is necessary for Qin Zhibo to master these two pieces of information.

As for the game content and finding the organizer of the event, the Duke of Darkness, Qin Zhibo actually had no motivation for this.

Anyway, the administrator will take care of your expenses, so you don't have to pay any money.

But what made Qin Zhibo feel a little strange was that it was only half of the travel expenses. Did the people in the tour group care so much about the existence of the detective?

Judging from the information and social credit that appear above these people's heads, they don't look like people who are short of money.

Especially the long-haired sister and the second art museum director, both of them are presidents of computer companies.

The company president...

President, high-risk industry.

Coupled with Conan this time, his future is really worrying.

Qin Zhibo looked out the window, wanting to enjoy the sea view under the sunset.

On the sparkling sea, several seagulls are flying freely. When you look further away, the orange sunset glow is floating where the sea and the sky meet.

But such a beautiful scenery once again made Qin Zhibo feel a little uncomfortable.

For some reason, after coming here this time, Qin Zhibo found that he felt a little uncomfortable when looking at the sea.

But there was no such discomfort on Moon Shadow Island before.

How is this going?

Qin Zhibo pulled the curtains and was about to go back to bed to rest when there was a sudden knock on the door.

When I opened the door, a tall and graceful figure was standing outside.

"Mr. Detective, would you like to have a drink at the bar upstairs?"

The person who came was Kamijou Hideko. Her slightly exaggerated purple deep V dress was enough to make most men have wild thoughts.

Don’t ask who Feifei is!

But in front of Qin Zhibo's iron will, it was just okay.

But with a beautiful woman as his companion, why wouldn’t Qin Zhibo do it?

And it’s a good opportunity to see what kind of medicine Kamijou Hideko sells in her gourd.

"Okay, let's go then."

Qin Zhibo readily agreed, turned around to lock the door behind him, and followed Kamijou Hideko to the bar upstairs.

On the other side of the corridor, Ran Mouri looked at Qin Zhibo who followed Kamijou Hideko away with a look of disappointment on her face.

"I clearly wanted to invite Mr. Qin to dinner, but it seems I have to give up..."

Conan, who was standing by, shouted out in his heart what he had always thought of Qin Zhibo.

This big scumbag!

……

It was just getting dark and there weren't many people in the bar.

Qin Zhibo and Kamijou Hideko walked to the bar and sat down.

"I'll have a glass of gin, how about you, Mr. Detective?"

Qin Zhibo looked at the wide variety of wines behind the bar and casually mentioned the name of a wine.

"I'll have a vodka."

After the bartender brought the drinks to the two of them, Kamijou Hideko began to chat with Qin Zhibo.

The content of the chat was nothing more than asking Qin Zhibo to talk about the cases he had solved, especially the case of rescuing female star Akiko Kinoshita that happened just two days ago.

So Qin Zhibo deleted the beginning and the end of the case and told it to Kamijou Hideko.

When the case was finished, Kamijou Hideko warmly invited Qin Zhibo to have a drink together.

After a glass of wine, the woman finally began to reveal her true intentions and true nature.

"Mr. Qin, I am actually a bit curious by nature."

"Oh? For example?"

Qin Zhibo raised his eyebrows and glanced calmly at the cleavage that was gradually approaching his.

"Oh~ Really, of course it's the Duke of Darkness~"

"With your intelligence, you must have figured out who the Dark Night Duke is, right? Could it really be the bank clerk holding the laptop?"

"Can you tell me?"

"Oh~Nei~Gai~Yin~"

A soft touch came from the skin on the outside of his arm, and even Qin Zhibo's iron will couldn't help but become distracted.

The consciousness level of 90 instantly dropped by 2 points to 88 points.

This is understandable. After all, the second line of Qin Zhibo’s personal information says [Gender: Male].

However, Qin Zhibo himself has not yet solved the mystery of the identity of the Dark Night Duke, so naturally there is nothing he can tell Kamijou Hideko.

As for the bank man, although Qin Zhibo felt that this person was a little suspicious, he might not be.

After all, judging from the social credit of all the members of this tour group, the bank man has the lowest social credit.

Judging from the fact that social credit is linked to capital, the bank man must have the financial ability or the need to organize such an activity of treating strangers to half-price travel.

Of course, if this tour group has other purposes, that’s another matter…
