Conan Rick's Investigator

His original idea was to use the bow-tie voice changer and loudspeaker to simulate the sound of his own voice, just like he usually manipulated Dr. Agasa to conduct reasoning in front of the police.

But after Kuroba Kaito woke up, he discovered that not only did this boy look exactly like him, he even spoke with a similar voice.

This is convenient now, I don't even need to dub it myself, just let him watch and talk. But Conan didn't expect that this guy's personality is more complicated than he imagined.

"Naughty," how dare you kiss my hand in front of your parents. Damn it! Even I have never kissed Xiaolan's hand!

"Whatever I say next, you will learn what to say..."

"Well, since everyone has come from far away, I will do my best to be a good host..." Under Conan's whispered guidance, Kuroba Kaito on the other side performed the body movements that Kudo Shinichi should have, and repeated every word with emotion.

This kind of thing is not difficult for him as a thief, and it is even smooth and silky. Only Dr. Agasa, who understands everything, feels helpless and can't help but wonder if this is okay?

Shinichi really made his own invention into something special...

"I heard from Conan that there is still some time before you have dinner with the rich woman who sponsored you, so why not do some sightseeing first..."

"Now that we've arrived in London, the first place we must go to is..."

"Baker Street!" Kuroba Kaito's sudden roar startled Maori and others as well as the passers-by around him.

"What are you shouting all of a sudden?" Mao Lilan asked confused.

"Ah~" Kuroba Kaito scratched his head quickly.

"I'm just happy to think that I can finally go to Baker Street..."

"Ah? Shinichi, haven't you been to Baker Street for so long since you came to England?" Mao Lilan asked.

"Yeah." Kuroba Kaito smiled and nodded.

"I'm usually busy with commissions and have no time to travel. Today I finally got a day off..." These lines were improvised by Kuroba Kaito without any guidance from Conan, but the effect is still good.

When she heard that Kudo Shinichi was so busy abroad that he didn't even have the chance to visit the most famous Sherlock Holmes fan destination, Maori Ran's eyes revealed concern and reluctance.

I remember that I used to complain on the phone why the other party never showed up, but now it seems that I am too willful.

Shinichi tried so hard, but I didn't understand him well... What kind of childhood sweetheart am I? Thinking of this, Mao Lilan's nose felt a little sour.

But in such a rare moment of vacation, she also knew that she must not cry and disrupt everyone's happy atmosphere.

Immediately, she raised her head with a bright smile on her face and took the initiative to pull

The arm of "Kudo Shinichi".

"Then let's take this opportunity to relax~"

"Shinichi!" Under the casual pull of Ran Mouri, Kuroba Kaito was like a kite pulled by a string, and was easily pulled towards the airport exit.

"Hey! Is this girl really that strong?" Kuroba Kaito ran after her, glancing sideways at the crowd nearby.

Uncle...did you hear what I was trying to convey? Meanwhile, in the crowd on the other side of the exit passage, Qin Zhibo was hiding behind a billboard.

Next stop is Baker Street?

Chapter 1268 Akai Marie

Qin Zhibo knew that Kuroba Kaito had just shouted

"Baker Street" was called out so that he could hear their next destination. This way, even if he didn't follow Conan and his group, he could take a taxi directly there to reduce the risk of being exposed.

When it comes to the most famous attraction on Baker Street, it is the Sherlock Holmes Museum, a holy place for Sherlock Holmes fans all over the world.

As for the reason why Kuroba Kaito disguised himself as Kudo Shinichi and mingled among Conan and others, Qin Zhibo also overheard it just now through the "Detective's Bug".

In short, Conan got Kuroba Kaito's passport and threatened him to pretend to be Kudo Shinichi to deal with Maori Ran.

But Conan's real purpose is to lure him out through Kuroba Kaito. Qin Zhibo thought about it, although Kuroba Kaito is now kept by Conan as

"Hostage," but in fact, there is no danger. With his skills as the Kaito Kid, he can steal back a mere passport sooner or later.

So there was no need to change his original plan. He should contact Mary first. After finishing his business here, even if Conan and Kuroba Kaito left Baker Street, he could still find their location with the locating spell.

...After watching Conan and his group get into a taxi and leave, Qin Zhibo also took a taxi and headed straight for the center of London.

In the car, Qin Zhibo introduced his tourist destination to the driver as London City Hall, hoping to recommend a hotel that could see the Thames River and not be too expensive.

The driver readily agreed and eventually took him to a hotel apartment. Although the location of this hotel was a little off the beaten path and the facilities were a little inferior to those of the Hilton, its price was only one-third of that of the big hotels.

After Qin Zhibo paid the fare and tip, he quickly checked in at the hotel with his and Kuroba Kaito's suitcases.

Since he didn't know when Kuroba Kaito would be able to escape Conan's control, he opened a single room today.

Qin Zhibo took a short rest in the hotel, looked at Westminster Bridge outside the window, and then went downstairs to call Mary.

Entering the red phone booth on the roadside, he took out the number given by Yasuharu Haneda from his wallet and pressed the numbers one by one until he pressed the entire series of numbers.

Beep-beep-... After waiting for more than ten seconds, the other party finally picked up the phone.

"Who is that?" The person who spoke was a woman with a deep voice. Qin Zhibo softened his throat and replied in the same low voice: "Mary, I'm Vince Qin."

"..." The woman on the other end of the phone was silent for a while before she replied in Japanese: "What's the matter?" Qin Zhibo frowned slightly. If it was Mary on the other end of the phone, her reaction would be too cold when facing a friend from many years ago. It sounded like she had no intention of having a deep communication at all.

As Haneda Yasuharu had said, Mary was now on high alert. Qin Zhibo also replied in Japanese, "I'm in London right now. If it's convenient, let's meet. I have something to tell you..."

"whats the matter?"

"It's about your son, Akai Shuichi."

"..." The other end of the phone fell silent again. After a few seconds, a woman's voice came out of the microphone again.

"Where are you now?" Qin Zhibo replied, "Where I can see Big Ben."

"Meet in front of the Sherlock Holmes statue on Baker Street in half an hour." After saying that, the caller hung up.

Qin Zhibo put the microphone back and immediately turned on the navigation system. Baker Street was 3.5 kilometers away from his current location. If there was no traffic, he could get there quickly by taxi.

But the problem is, why did Mary choose Baker Street? Conan and his friends are probably still sightseeing in Baker Street and won't be leaving for a while.

Although he could put on the human skin mask he had prepared before, he was worried that Mary would be suspicious of this move.

Qin Zhibo thought for a while and could only run to the store next to the hotel, buy a black mask to cover his face, and then wear a British-style deerstalker hat on his head.

There is no need to change clothes, because I have prepared two sets of clothes for this trip to London, one of which is not the brown windbreaker suit that I usually wear.

That was the outfit he was currently wearing. After a simple disguise, Qin Zhibo got on a taxi to Baker Street.

...Twenty minutes later, Qin Zhibo arrived at Baker Street. At the T-shaped intersection at the end of Baker Street, there stood a statue of Sherlock Holmes, depicting him smoking a pipe.

Qin Zhibo took advantage of the flow of tourists and looked around, but did not see Conan and his party.

It is probably still in the Sherlock Holmes Museum on Baker Street... In order to avoid being discovered by Conan who might come to check in later, Qin Zhibo found a seat on the street corner, about 20 meters away from the statue, and began to observe quietly.

However, five minutes passed and no one approached the statue except those who were taking photos and checking in. It wasn't until two minutes before the appointed time that a tall woman in a brown windbreaker slowly approached the statue.

She raised her camera and took a picture of the tall statue of Sherlock Holmes, then took two more pictures of the surrounding streets.

Qin Zhibo squinted his eyes slightly. Although the other person was wearing brown sunglasses and a flat-brimmed hat and could not see his identity information, his intuition told him that this person was Mary.

So, Qin Zhibo walked over and came directly to the woman.

"Long time no see, Mary." The woman turned her head and stared dully for a few seconds before slowly putting down the camera in her hand.

"Qin..." ...Baker Street, 221b. Conan and his companions are visiting the Sherlock Holmes Museum.

“As expected of the Sherlock Holmes Museum!”

"It's really great!" The group stood on the quaint peacock-patterned carpet, looking at the furniture and various decorations in front of them that were completely faithful to Holmes' original works, with different degrees of expression on their faces.

Only Conan looked at everything in front of him excitedly, with a childlike innocent smile on his face. After waiting for 17 years, today his dream can finally come true!

Conan's eyes swept around the room and immediately locked on the sofa chair on the right side in front of the fireplace.

That is... In the original Sherlock Holmes works, Holmes often sat on that chair and discussed the case with Watson sitting opposite him.

Conan was so excited when he thought of that image in his mind, so he hurried forward, pointed at the chair and asked.

"Excuse me, can I sit here?" The staff in the museum smiled and nodded.

“ofcourse~”

"Great!" After getting permission, Conan jumped up and sat down in the middle of the sofa. He tossed his body up and down like a child, feeling every inch of the elasticity of the sofa, and made a sound from time to time.

A "giggle" smile.

"So this is Sherlock Holmes' chair~"

"Haha..." Conan excitedly stroked the armrests on both sides of the sofa, feeling every possible posture that Holmes could strike.

Mao Lilan looked at the happy Conan and smiled sweetly. She knew Conan was a fan of Sherlock Holmes a long time ago, but she never had the chance to come to London.

Seeing Conan's genuine happiness made the trip worthwhile.

"Kudo Shinichi".

"Shinichi, why don't you go up there and experience it later?"

"Me?" Kuroba Kaito was stunned for a moment. He had already lost focus and just took a quick glance inside the museum before looking at the street outside.

Facing Mao Lilan's question, he had to turn his head and look at Conan who was fussing on the seat, but his heart was os: I'm not a Sherlock Holmes fan, why should I experience those childish things?

"Hehe, I'd better give up..." Seeing Kudo Shinichi waving his hand to refuse, there was a hint of surprise on Mouri Ran's face.

Because based on her understanding of her sweetheart, she should be more excited about this rare opportunity.

But not only did he not feel excited, he also kept looking out the window with concern.

"Shinichi, are you okay? You've been looking outside..."

"Ah?" Kuroba Kaito scratched his head with a smile.

"What's wrong with me~"

"I just think these things are fine to just take a look at, there's no need to take them too seriously..." This explanation made Mao Lilan open her mouth wide.

"Ah--?" On this side, Conan, who heard Kuroba Kaito's speech gradually becoming ooc, quickly stopped his experience and jumped off the chair.

"Sister Xiaolan! Brother Shinichi must have felt a little embarrassed when he saw so many people here."

"Don't be embarrassed~ Brother Shinichi, no matter how happy you act, no one will blame you~"

"After all, this is your favorite Sherlock Holmes sanctuary!" Conan showed a childlike expression, seemingly persuading Kudo Shinichi to relax a little, but in fact he was reminding Kuroba Kaito to act according to the script.

Kuroba Kaito glanced at Conan, who was looking down at him, and could only force a smile on his face. Haha, this is obviously your favorite Sherlock Holmes sanctuary, right?

"Great!"

"How about the Holy Land of Sherlock Holmes! It's really nice here!"

"Not bad, not bad..." There was nothing he could do, Kuroba Kaito could only pretend to be very interested in this place and took a quick tour of the museum.

The Sherlock Holmes Museum is not very large, with a total of 4 floors, each with 2 rooms. Most of the scenes inside are restored according to Conan Doyle's original works, and some old photos and documentary films are used to supplement the parts that cannot be restored.

If you are a true Sherlock Holmes fan, you will definitely find many Sherlock Holmes stories here.

The details of his "life" are even included, including the bullet holes Holmes made on the wall with his revolver during the boring days when he had no cases.

But for Kaito Kuroba, this is an apartment building that restores the architectural style of the 19th century, nothing more.

Although he had read Sherlock Holmes, he was not very interested in him. In his eyes, Sherlock Holmes was just a man-made protagonist in a mystery work. No matter how amazing his skills were in the book, they were all fictional.

Only those who live in reality can be called truly great. Kuroba Kaito put his hands in his pockets and took a quick look at each floor. He soon arrived at the 4th floor.

Standing by the window on the fourth floor, he glanced at the street outside. The old man should be nearby now... Kuroba Kaito's eyes scanned the pedestrians on the street, but he didn't see anyone who looked like Qin Zhibo.

At this moment, a gentle voice suddenly sounded in his ears.

"Shinichi, what are you looking for?"

"Ah!" This sound scared Kuroba Kaito, because Xiaolan deliberately spoke into his ear, and he could even feel the girl's fragrant breath.

"Why are you so close?!"

"Shinichi, are you looking for someone? You seem absent-minded..." Ran Mouri asked with a frown.

She felt that Shinichi looked like he was here for the first time, but rather like he had been here a dozen times and was completely disenchanted.

The key is that I was absent-minded the whole time and always looking out of the window.

"Haha~ How is that possible?" Kuroba Kaito laughed and scratched his head.

"Who can I look for? I just think the street scenery here is nice..." At this time, Conan, who realized something was wrong, followed again.

Seeing that Kuroba Kaito was suspected by Xiaolan again, he could only end the scene quickly, otherwise the secret would be revealed sooner or later if he stayed any longer.
