Conan Rick's Investigator

Inufushi Soshin died of old age. Although Hattori Heiji pointed out that there was a suspicious white powder on the corner of Soshin's mouth, this powder is not the same as the common poisons currently available, and still needs to be taken back for testing and autopsy by the Forensic Department.

However, even if the test turns out to be poison, it would be Infusuo's suicide by taking the poison, and it will not extend to other cases.

Just like this, it seems

The hidden story behind the "Demon Dog Case" will always remain an unsolved mystery.

"Kudo, do you think Ms. Soshin's death was just a coincidence?" Hattori Heiji found Conan privately and couldn't help but express his doubts. He also wanted to find someone to talk to and express his depressed mood.

The small reversal when Chiko Inufushi revealed the motive for the murder made him feel that his reasoning for this case was not thorough enough.

I felt like I'd missed a crucial part, but I couldn't figure it out. Conan put his hands in his pockets, staring straight ahead, his black-framed glasses reflecting an inexplicably deep light.

Now his heart is very complicated and he doesn't know what to do.

The curse is real.

The "demon dog" is also real, and the real murderer behind the scenes is Su Chen... He really couldn't say these words to his good friend.

Shattering a person's worldview is not an easy task. It's like destroying a person's lifelong beliefs with your own hands.

This knowledge will make a detective no longer pure, turning reasoning into suspicion, and even accompanied by unpredictable dangers.

As Qin Zhibo taught us—is the truth really that important? The truth is not what everyone desires.

Humans are animals that seek advantages and avoid disadvantages. If the truth has good parts and bad parts, they would rather believe only the good parts.

Revealing the full truth is actually depriving those who don't want to know the truth of their rights. Detective, do you really dare to risk the wrath of the world?

Is the law really the only solution in the world? When cognition and worldview rise to the cosmic level, Conan's brain is no longer just thinking about the truth of a case.

Think about what Qin Zhibo would do? Conan was silent. He probably already had the answer to this question - not all truths are desired by everyone. Putting the right to choose in the hands of the parties involved is a kind of humanity.

Just like the truth of this case, it is in the best interest of all parties involved that Ms. Suochen died as a loving mother.

And Holmes did the same thing, he also concealed the truth from others more than once. If I tell the truth to Hattori Heiji, it will not only shake his worldview, but may also cause disagreements on this matter.

Conan no longer wanted to argue with important people, no matter who was right or wrong. So, he said.

"Perhaps Ms. Soshin wanted to use her own death to awaken the kindness in the hearts of her adopted children..." After hearing Conan's answer, Hattori Heiji looked at Conan in surprise.

Kudo, you... He couldn't quite believe that his good friend, who always kept in step with him, actually gave a different judgment this time.

Of course, this isn't about right or wrong, as there's no evidence to prove it. But isn't this getting further and further away from the truth?

Is a detective who actively distances himself from the truth still a detective? Just then, the shouts of Mao Lilan and Toyama Kazuha came from the corner of the corridor.

"Conan!"

"Heiji!"

"It's time to go back!" x2 Conan responded first, and as he turned around, a childlike innocent and cute expression appeared on his face.

"Okay! I'll be right there!" Conan took a few steps forward and glanced back at Hattori Heiji.

"Hattori, I'm leaving first..."

"Oh, um..." Hattori Heiji stood there, a look of bewilderment in his eyes. ... They were silent all the way. Back in Tokyo, Hattori Heiji and Toyama Kazuha took the Shinkansen directly back to Osaka.

On the occasion of parting at the station, Hattori Heiji still wanted to have a good chat with Conan, but there was no such opportunity.

This made his travel experience the most enjoyable one in his heart.

It was a frustrating experience. He felt like he had won the deduction contest but lost his friend. But despite this, he still offered Conan his assistance without hesitation.

"Conan, I will do what you asked me to do when I get back!" Across the sparse crowd, Hattori Heiji and Toyama Kazuha smiled and waved goodbye to the Mori family.

"That thing?" Mao Lilan looked down at Conan and asked in confusion: "Conan, what do you want to ask Hattori?" Conan was stunned for a moment, scratched his head and smiled foolishly.

"It's a limited edition Kamen Rider card that's only available in the Osaka area!"

"I'll ask Hattori-san to bring me one next time he comes to Tokyo!" Maori Kogoro, who was standing next to him, heard this and squinted his eyes at Conan, who was standing lower, and said sarcastically, "Kids are just kids..."

"You trouble others to spend money, but do you know that I have to give them gifts in return later?" When it comes to social etiquette and face, Kogoro Mouri has always been very strict with it.

Facing Maori Kogoro's sharp rant, Conan could only smile slightly, laughing inwardly. Qin Zhibo, who was standing by, saw Conan's reaction and knew that what he and Hattori Heiji were discussing was definitely not as simple as bringing Kamen Rider cards.

Thinking that before the two officially visited Kudo Shinichi's house in Tokyo, they also visited Rena Mizuna's house as guests, one can't help but think that they might have discussed how to investigate Rena Mizuna.

But Mizuno Rena had guessed their true intentions and was already on guard, so she shouldn't have revealed any important information.

...After leaving the station, they took a van back to Beika-cho. Maori Kogoro first sent Qin Zhibo to the downstairs of Zhibo's detective agency. He also had to go to the rental car company to return the car, so he asked Maori Ran and Conan to get off the van and walk home.

Just as Qin Zhibo was about to turn back upstairs, Conan suddenly started shouting.

"I'm going to Uncle Qin's house to play!"

"Eh?" Mao Lilan was stunned. This child usually doesn't have any willful demands to go to a certain place to play. Qin Zhibo glanced at Conan who seemed willful, knowing that he actually wanted to find an opportunity to talk to him.

Regarding the "curse" matter, I haven't discussed these matters with Conan yet.

But today Qin Zhibo felt that he was really tired. He hadn't slept much since last night. He needed to take a good rest.

As a man approaching 40, he couldn't act too aggressively. Furthermore, he needed to calm down and study the last two chapters of the Xuanjun Seven Chapter Secret Scripture carefully.

Because of the two chapters, one is about traveling to the secret realm of Kadath, and the other is about the coming of Cthulhu and the countless forms of Nyarlathotep.

Chapter 1246 The stars have returned to their rightful place, and the Ancestral Dragon returns...

"Uncle is going back to sleep~"

"Conan, you should go back and have a rest, otherwise you will never grow taller in your life~" Qin Zhibo rejected Conan's request with a smile and tone that was used to fool a child.

The latter could only turn away for a half-moon before being forcibly taken away by Mao Lilan in a state of unwillingness. ... Pushing the door to the third floor of the office, Qin Zhibo stretched out his arms and collapsed on the sofa.

After lying on the sofa for 10 seconds, he took out the Xuanjun Seven Chapter Secret Book from his coat and the Liao Dan he brought from Inufushi's house.

In order to carry it with him, Suochen made most of the Liao Dan into bracelets and wore them on his hands. Now there are only 19 pieces left, each of which has the power to travel through time and space and return to the past.

But the problem is that time travelers who take Liaodan can only continuously travel to the past, and cannot accurately control the specific time and place, making its effects difficult to control.

The most terrible thing is that on the way through, you may encounter the hounds of Tindalos lurking in the horn-shaped time realm.

He was able to defeat the Hound of Tindalos before because he was lucky enough to encounter the arrival of Yog-Sothoth, and he used the antagonistic relationship between the two to successfully kill him.

If it were to happen again, the outcome would be unpredictable. Therefore, this Liao Dan should never be used unless absolutely necessary.

Qin Zhibo tied Liao Dan back on with a rope, took out the [Brief Box] he had won in a previous lottery from the props column, and put them all into it.

This is the safest way to store items, carry them with you, and no one will ever think of it. But is this system what the original owner prayed to Yog-Sothoth?

Where's the "power of revelation"? Qin Zhibo didn't get too lost in thought, so he quickly shook his head. What he needed most right now was rest.

Let's talk about everything after I wake up. ...When Qin Zhibo woke up from bed, it was already past 3 o'clock in the afternoon.

He slept for more than 6 hours, which was enough to completely relieve his fatigue. Hungry, he called a nearby Chinese takeout restaurant, then turned on the TV and looked for a TV program that would help him eat well.

While searching through the programs, he actually found something that interested him: a rerun of an evening news program.

Unlike the Japanese news program hosted by Rena Mizunashi, this program focused on international news. First, due to internal political unrest in the country, the Vesbania Kingdom's diplomatic corps, originally scheduled to visit Japan in April, canceled its visit.

According to insiders in the country, the current national government is divided into two factions. One is the moderate faction headed by Queen Sakura.

The other was a powerful faction led by the Queen's brother, Earl Kirard. The main issue of contention between the two sides was the newly discovered Visbania invisible ore.

The moderate faction, led by Queen Sakura, advocates for a halt to the development and related research of the invisible ore, while the strong faction, led by Earl Girard, advocates for the vigorous development of the invisible ore and its rapid application in military affairs.

The disagreement over this major national policy caused unrest in the country and the situation was extremely tense... After seeing this news, Qin Zhibo recalled that he had previously told the Green Delta organization that Earl Kirad might be planning a rebellion.

The reason why he is not 100% sure is because he only knows that Count Kilad in the parallel world assassinated the queen and prince.

More importantly, he cooperated with the alien race Mi-Go to secretly subvert the regime in a way that was almost imperceptible to humans.

And Green Delta is an expert in dealing with supernatural things, so it is very appropriate to hand it over to them.

Judging from the current news reports, Green Delta should have already taken action. Otherwise, according to the parallel world's development, Count Kirard should have successfully assassinated the queen and prince by now, instead of engaging in factional struggles.

However, things did not go as smoothly as Qin Zhibo had imagined. He originally thought that as long as he had the intelligence in advance, he could take the initiative and at least put Earl Kilard under house arrest.

Now it seems that Earl Kilard's faction is still deeply rooted, and even the Queen cannot easily uproot it.

In addition, if the Mi-Go of this world is called

The "Gray Force" organization is also supporting Killad, so it's not just humans behind him.

There is also the Black Organization, which has collaborated with the Mi-Go race, and its attitude is also very unclear. So overall, this matter is not easy to resolve.

However, Qin Zhibo was far away in Japan, so all he could do was quietly follow the news on this matter. Just as he finished reading the special report on the Kingdom of Vesbania, takeout arrived at his door.

Since it was the takeout service of the nearby Chinese restaurant, and it was not yet dinner time, the food delivery time was quite fast this time.

Qin Zhibo took the takeout, filled in a five-star rating on the delivery card, and handed the meal money to the delivery boy.

This time I ordered more meals, including one fried dumpling, one white rice, one fried spring roll, and one mapo tofu.

Qin Zhibo placed four takeaways with good taste and flavor on the coffee table and continued to watch the news with interest.

After broadcasting the news on the current situation, the following news content is not so serious, and mainly covers sports, entertainment, and economic news.

First of all, in the sports world, the Wimbledon Tennis Championships are currently being held in full swing in London, England.

this year

There are two favorites to win the Wimbledon Championships. One is Wang Haili, a tennis player from China. The other is the world's number one female tennis player who has dominated Wimbledon for four consecutive years.

Minerba Glass, the "Queen of Grass." This year's Wimbledon prize money has increased by 20% compared to last year, totaling £1420 million, the highest ever in Wimbledon's history!

A great reward always brings out the brave. This year's Wimbledon will be very exciting! Qin Zhibo really doesn't know much about tennis, let alone Wimbledon.

And even if I liked tennis, I'd just watch the live matches on TV. What did a match in London have to do with me in Japan?

Next up, entertainment news: World-renowned illusionist Günter von Goldberg II will soon resume performing, with his first show scheduled for London, England.

There were previous rumors that Günter von Goldberg II was related to criminal organizations. Therefore, he was investigated by Interpol and had to suspend all performances.

However, now that the performance has resumed, the investigation has concluded. On TV, a handsome blond man in a gorgeous tuxedo was suspended in mid-air, bowing deeply with a wicked smile on his face.

Watching the promotional video of Günter von Goldberg II's comeback on TV, Qin Zhibo's expression showed a hint of surprise.

After such a long time, this guy actually showed up again... His apparent identity is a world-famous illusionist, but his true identity is an international top assassin, codenamed

"Spider". Spider, and nickname

Snake, also known as "Zhang Dapao", and Scorpion, both belong to the Beast Brotherhood.

Since the code names of its members are all animals, the organization is also called

The Zoo Organization. After the Zoo Organization's plans to acquire gems were repeatedly hindered by Kaito Kidd, the organization dispatched this assassin to eliminate him.

Spider is proficient in illusions, which can also be regarded as a type of magic or witchcraft, and is very powerful.

However, under the joint efforts of Qin Zhibo and Kaitou Kidd, he was still exposed and was caught by Detective White Horse and the Japanese police led by him.

Later, during the transfer process of the police, a group of powerful gunmen rescued him halfway, and Detective Baima suffered some injuries as a result.

After that, the once arrogant killer Spider, or the identity of Günter von Goldberg II he used to protect himself, disappeared.

Qin Zhibo originally thought that although he had escaped this arrest, at least his identity could no longer be used, and he would not dare to come out again in a short period of time.

I didn't expect that he would come out so soon. And he appeared so openly.

The arrogance of "I'm out" was written on his face. However, even if this guy came back, Qin Zhibo felt that there was no need to worry too much.

After all, Spider was almost caught by Detective Hakuba in Japan. If he dares to enter Japan after his comeback, the Hakuba family's influence in the police world can thoroughly investigate him inside and out.

He shouldn't be so stupid. He almost overturned his car in Japan last time, and he dared to put himself in danger again this time.

Finally, in economic news, Mr. He Fang, President of the He's Chamber of Commerce and the largest importer and exporter in Shanghai, China, will soon arrive in London, England, for a three-day business negotiation meeting with local business alliances. The discussions will focus on import and export trade between the two cities.

This part of the news didn't seem very important, and the announcer only mentioned it briefly before skipping over it. However, it was quite unusual that these three unrelated news stories all took place in London, England.

...After the news program was over, Qin Zhibo picked another program at random and finished all the food on the coffee table.

After finishing the meal, he put away the dishes and chopsticks and neatly presented the Xuanjun Seven Chapters Secret Scripture in front of him.

There were only two chapters left, and now I could finally finish reading them all in one sitting. [Do you want to continue reading?] [Yes√] Qin Zhibo's mind moved, and he quickly entered into reading mode. Since he had already read the previous five chapters, he went straight to Chapter 6.

Chapter 6: The Immortal Ascension Scroll of the Fantasy World According to Xuanjun’s description, in addition to the world where humans live, there is also a world called

The world of "Fantasy". This world is parallel to the human world, and some people can even enter this world just by dreaming, so it is called

"Illusionary World". And in the fantasy world there exists what mortals often call

"Heaven", want to reach this
