Conan Rick's Investigator

He tore open the triangular opening on the edge of the carton along the dotted line and gulped down the liquid. He slept from morning to dusk, restoring almost 30 points of willpower, but it also meant he had been hungry for a full 24 hours.

Qin Zhibo was so hungry right now that he could eat a whole cow! Throwing the milk carton into the kitchen trash can, Qin Zhibo looked at Kuroba Kaito and said solemnly.

"I have something very important to do next and I have to go to England."

"England?" Kuroba Kaito looked stunned and said hurriedly: "But my destination is also England!"

"Eh? Really?"

"Yes!" Kuroba Kaito spread his hands and introduced: "The origin of the Hober Magic Group is Britain, and they are now performing in London!" As Kuroba Kaito explained it again in detail, Qin Zhibo finally understood why Kuroba Kaito was so eager to go to Britain.

At Kuroba Toichi's suggestion, Kuroba Kaito went to England to warn Judy Hooper and protect Crimson Tears.

But Qin Zhibo was more concerned about what the Black Feather Bandit said.

The time mentioned in the "Reincarnation Prophecy". In fact, he had already learned most of the reincarnation prophecy from Haneda Yasuharu.

However, this was the first time the time of reincarnation had been revealed in such a clear manner. Previously, members of the Zoo had merely stated that Halley's Comet would return once every ten thousand years... When the stars aligned, with the help of Nefren Ka's reincarnated form and the red gem atop his crown, Nefren Ka would be crowned an even more powerful Black Pharaoh, a glorious rebirth... This alignment of the stars was strikingly similar to the prophecy foreshadowing Cthulhu's resurrection.

One of the purposes of his trip to the UK this time was to go to the University of Brightchester in the UK and ask the scholars there for clarification.

This is because it was the University of Brightchester that first proposed that a certain comet would arrive near the solar system in the near future, causing gravitational pull and changing the position of the stars.

"Then it looks like our destination is the same..."

"However, if we want to prevent the reincarnation ritual from happening, we must at least confirm the correct time for the 'return of the stars.'" Qin Zhibo calmly analyzed, his chin tilted. "Right now, it seems the enemy has grasped this exact time, which is why they can act in such an orderly manner..."

"but……"

"But?" Faced with Kuroba Kaito's doubts, Qin Zhibo did not express his biggest concern.

Now whether it is

The reincarnation of the Black Pharaoh and the resurrection of Cthulhu are both related to the return of the stars. The Black Pharaoh is relatively easy to deal with, after all, one of the key props in the reincarnation ritual, the Crimson Tear Gem, is in the hands of their own faction.

But Cthulhu's resurrection does not require a ritual. It is like setting a huge alarm clock. When the time is up, Cthulhu will wake up naturally.

This is also the true origin of the apocalyptic crisis spoken of by the Yis. Therefore, once the correct time for the stars to return to their positions is known, the one to be most wary of should be Cthulhu.

But what should be done? How can a mere mortal fight against the Great Old Ones? By force?

This is simply impossible. The Yisi people's civilization has gone through hundreds of millions of years, and they are naturally capable of evaluating the gap between human civilization and the old rulers.

Since the Yis believed that humanity couldn't win, this was the inevitable outcome. Even if humanity possessed nuclear weapons, a deadly weapon that leveled the world, humanity itself would be practically extinct... Thinking of this, Qin Zhibo shook his head violently.

He shouldn't think about such clueless things now. The key is to first find a way to confirm the time when the stars will return.

"Then it's decided. Let's book the tickets to the UK as soon as possible..." It's already late today, and there are no travel apps like Ctrip in this era, so booking the tickets can only wait until tomorrow.

Qin Zhibo stood up from the sofa and was about to say he was going out for dinner when the doorbell rang. Ding——Kuroba Kaito's face lit up with joy, thinking that Kuroba Touichi couldn't leave Japan tonight and had returned, so he hurried to open the door happily.

"Here she comes!" When I opened the door, I saw that the person coming was Aoko Nakamori.

"Aoko? Why are you here?" Kuroba Kaito was a little surprised.

"What's wrong? Is it strange that I'm here?" Nakamori Aoko smiled sweetly.

"I heard you say this morning that Aunt Qianying has returned from abroad, so I want to invite you and Aunt Qianying to my house for dinner tonight..."

"Eh?" Kuroba Kaito was stunned, feeling puzzled.

"When did I tell you that my mom is going back to her country?" Nakamori Aoko raised her eyebrows.

"But didn't you say this morning that you wanted to meet someone you hadn't seen for a long time, so I guess it must be Aunt Qianying..." Qin Zhibo, who was standing by the wall of the entrance, took the initiative to come out when he heard that there was dinner ready.

"Aoko, you misunderstood. Actually, this kid was talking about me~" Nakamori Aoko looked at Qin Zhibo who suddenly appeared, blinked, and only remembered after a few seconds.

"Aren't you the uncle who was looking for Kaito and Koizumi at the school gate before?" Nakamori Aoko and Qin Zhibo had almost no intersection, except for the first time when Qin Zhibo went to the gate of Ekoda High School to block Kuroba Kaito and Koizumi Koizumi after school, and was witnessed by Nakamori Aoko.

Qin Zhibo nodded and introduced himself: "Actually, I am a slightly famous detective named Qin Zhibo."

"Since that meeting, Kaito has often asked me about Kaito Kidd..."

"Kaito Kid!" When she heard the name Kaito Kid, Aoko Nakamori's eyes lit up. After all, this had been a knot in her father Nakamori Ginzo's heart for more than ten years.

"Then come to my house to discuss it! My dad is also very interested in Kaitou Kidd!"

"Haha, then I'd be honored to refuse. Speaking of which, Officer Nakamori and I are old acquaintances. We've fought against Kaito Kidd several times together..." Qin Zhibo followed Nakamori Aoko out of the entrance with a smile, leaving the dumbfounded Kuroba Kaito there.

Hey! My dad just got home, don't let him get away with it! Worried, Kuroba Kaito quickly grabbed the house key and followed him to the Nakamori family next door.

…At the same time, on the third floor of the Mori Detective Agency, the Mori family was happily sitting around a low table, eating steaming hot pot.

The faces of the three people couldn't stop showing happy expressions.

"What a blessing!"

“I never thought that just by going to the coffee shop downstairs and having a cold drink, I could win a free trip to London!”

"It seems that the reason why I lost the horse race today is because of this!" Maori Kogoro shoveled meat into his mouth and boasted about his achievements proudly.

When Mao Lilan, who was sitting opposite, heard this, she gave her old father a helpless look.

"Obviously when I said I wanted to go downstairs to eat smoothies, you still didn't agree..."

"Uh..." Maori Kogoro paused with his chopsticks hanging in the air, then waved his hand.

"Don't worry about the details!"

"Anyway, we're going to make a fortune this time! Not only can we get a free plane ticket to London, but even food and lodging are included!" Conan on the other side looked at Kogoro Mouri with a helpless look in his eyes.

What a shameless uncle... However... when Conan thought about the gift of a free trip to London, his little face couldn't help but show a happy expression.

What happened was this - one afternoon, when the Maori family was drinking cold drinks at the Poirot Cafe downstairs, they accidentally picked up a white Persian cat in the store.

Not long after the Persian cat was acquired, the cat's owner showed up. Out of gratitude, and having heard that Maori Kogoro was a detective, the cat owner said that he was also a mystery fan and invited the Maori family to his hometown.

The hometown of this cat owner is London, England.

"Speaking of which, that Lady Diana is so generous..."

"Just because I helped her with a trivial matter, she specially invited us to London and even covered the round-trip air tickets as well as food and accommodation..." Mao Lilan picked up a piece of vegetable with chopsticks and said slowly.

When Maori Kogoro heard this, he once again took the credit for himself.

"Of course they offer the free trip because of me, a famous detective!" Maori Ran: "But Ms. Diana is British. It's her first time in Japan and she doesn't know who you are, Dad..." After being scolded by his daughter, Maori Kogoro felt a little embarrassed and could only analyze seriously.

"That's what rich people are like, they regard their pets as more important than people."

"Although in our eyes it's just helping to find a pet, in other people's eyes, it's almost like saving a life...so of course they should thank us." As a private detective who often helps wealthy people find pets, Kogoro Mouri naturally sees these things very clearly.

In the eyes of the rich, ordinary people are not even as good as the pets they keep by their side. However, he himself has no way to change or do anything, because he also relies on this skill to make connections in high society.

However, the always innocent and kind-hearted Mao Lilan was a little dissatisfied with her father's negative perception of life, and said angrily: "Dad, why do you say that to others?" Mao Li Kogoro held the bowl of rice and curled his lips.

"Tsk, I'm just telling the truth..." Seeing that the father and daughter were about to have an argument, Conan quickly spoke up to change the subject.

“But London seems to have many good attractions!”

"First is Baker Street, then Hyde Park where Holmes and Watson took a walk, and then the British Museum where Holmes often went to look up information..." Conan spoke excitedly with a blush on his face.

Although the Kudos often took him abroad when he was little, they had never been to London. Now he could finally go on this pilgrimage!

Maori Lan and Maori Kogoro, who were next to him, turned their attention to him in unison.

"Kid, how do you know London so well?"

"Uh..." Facing the suspicious look from Kogoro Mouri, Conan had an idea and quickly passed the blame.

"Brother Shinichi told me!"

"He told me that there are many good places in London..." After Conan said this, Ran Mouri, who was sitting next to him, suddenly had an idea.

"By the way! Last time I called Shinichi from the underground garage of Rice Flower Mall, it seemed that Shinichi said he was in the UK!"

"Maybe he is in London now. I will call him right away!" As she said that, Mao Lilan put down the dishes in her hands, stood up and was about to make a phone call.

Conan, who was about to take a bite of meat, didn't react at first. When he came to his senses, he remembered the last time he was at the rice flower mall.

In the "Chiba" assassination case, a man who looks similar to Kudo Shinichi appeared around the suspect.

"High school detective Shinichi Kudo" also became a suspect. At the request of Manager Matsumoto, Mao Lilan called herself to confirm her location.

I had no choice but to tell a little lie and said I was in England. I didn't expect that Xiaolan still remembers this incident until now!

Calling me at this time, what's going on? Conan quickly stood up, turned around and said, "Sister Xiaolan! It's only morning in England now. Maybe Brother Shinichi is busy dealing with a commission and has no time to call..."

"And if we suddenly go to England, wouldn't it be a good opportunity to give Shinichi brother a scare?" When Ran Mouri, who was holding the phone and about to dial a number, heard Conan say this, she became interested and a cute smirk appeared at the corner of her mouth.

"Conan, what you said makes sense. This opportunity is rare and we should really seize it..." Seeing that Mao Li Ran gave up the call, Conan also breathed a sigh of relief.

But the problem now is how can I appear in England as Kudo Shinichi? I don't know the art of clones...eh?

That's not right! Conan was about to pick up his bowl again when his expression suddenly froze in horror. I guess I can't go to England at all!

I don't have a passport! Conan suddenly remembered that his

The identity of "Edogawa Conan" is completely non-existent, and he has no passport. In this situation, it is impossible for him to pass through customs and leave the country.

Conan thought about it again and again, and now he could only rely on the ability of Dr. Agasa. ...The next day, when Conan came to Dr. Agasa's house, he told him about his situation.

"Doctor! Can you think of a way! Like forging passports or something..."

"Ah?" Dr. Agasa was stunned and quickly retorted.

"That's illegal!" Note that the doctor only said that it was illegal, not that it was impossible to do.

However, Conan didn't notice this point. He could only scratch his head in frustration and kept complaining.

"Damn it~"

"It's rare to go on a pilgrimage to the holy land of Sherlock Holmes. How could such a tragic thing happen?"

"Oh... bad luck, bad luck, bad luck..." Looking at Conan who was sighing, Haibara Ai with half-moon eyes seemed indifferent, but she was actually a little touched in her heart.

If it weren't for the medicine I invented, this dwarf wouldn't have to suffer this way. Forget it, I'll just satisfy him...

"If you want to go to England, there is only one way..."

"Huh?" Conan's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly approached Haiyuan Ai.

"What's the solution?!" Huiyuan Ai hugged her shoulders and said coldly, "Then use the temporary antidote for Aptx-4869 that I developed..."

Chapter 1264 Departure, trip to London!

A temporary antidote for Aptx-4869. This is one of Haibara Ai's trump cards to control Conan, and she originally didn't want to use it.

In order to test the effectiveness of the antidote, Conan took it once before. As a result, someone died and the fact that Kudo Shinichi was still alive was almost exposed.

If she hadn't predicted that Conan might encounter a case after growing bigger, and asked Qin Zhibo to stay close to him and solve the case first... But this time, when she saw Conan's body shrinking and unable to do anything, she did feel a little soft-hearted.

"As long as you use a temporary antidote to temporarily grow back to look like Kudo Shinichi, then use Kudo Shinichi's passport to pass through customs and board the plane..."

"The flight from Tokyo to London takes about 15 hours. The temporary antidote is effective for 24 hours and can cover the entire process."

"But in this case, you can't take the plane with the Mori family under the identity of Conan..." As Haibara Ai told her plan, she walked to the work cabinet next to her and took out a medicine box from the drawer.

There were several different medicines placed in the compartments inside the medicine box. She pinched out two white and green capsules from one of the compartments.

"Well, the two temporary antidotes I gave you are only enough for you to clear the level back and forth. Remember to calculate the time to take the medicine..."

"Back and forth?" Conan took the two capsules, looked at the dozen or so antidotes in the medicine box in Haibara Ai's hand, and a smirk immediately appeared on his face.

"Since you have already prepared so many antidotes, why don't you give me a few more?"

"Damn!" Haibara Ai closed her eyes, closed the medicine box mercilessly, and put it into the pocket of her jeans.

Seeing this, Conan also said anxiously: "Just give me more, maybe we can meet the emergency!"

"What's the rush? You didn't go to London to show off..." Huiyuan Ai said coldly.

"Although this hasn't been verified through human trials, generally speaking, the effectiveness of this temporary antidote is likely to decrease as the body's resistance to the drug increases..."

"The more times you take the antidote, the shorter its effect will last, until the antidote loses its effect completely..." After Haibara Ai's intimidation, Conan calmed down a bit and asked worriedly, "Does that mean I could turn back into Conan on the plane?"

"This possibility cannot be ruled out, so..."

"So you have to give me a few more antidotes!" Conan changed the subject and became even more excited.

"I don't want to never be able to return to Japan!"

"Please, Haibara, just give me a few more!" As he said that, Conan pretended to step forward and grab the bulging trouser pocket of Haibara Ai.

Ai Haibara covered her trouser pockets tightly and screamed, "Don't touch me! Pervert!" Seeing this, Dr. Agasa could only hold Conan's shoulder with one hand, and comforted him with a helpless smile, "Well, Shinichi, Ai must have her reasons for doing this..."
