Conan Rick's Investigator

"Um...Sister Xiaolan, should we go?"

"Huh?" Mao Lilan turned around in surprise.

"Conan, are you leaving now?" Conan nodded obediently.

"Well, we've seen everything here. Now let's go to the Sherlock Holmes souvenir shop next door..." Realizing that Kuroba Kaito might be about to fall in love again, he said with a frown.

"That's boring," Conan quickly stopped talking and said, "Sister Xiaolan, I'm hungry. When are we going to the restaurant?"

"Conan is hungry..." Mao Lilan paused,

"Okay, then Conan, you go downstairs and wait first. Shinichi and I will be down soon." Conan glanced at Mouri Ran and Kuroba Kaito. He was worried about them being alone, so he could only act coquettishly and said, "Why don't you come too!" As he said that, he grabbed their hands and pulled them out forcefully like a naughty child.

Helpless, Mao Lilan and Kuroba Kaito could only follow Conan downstairs. As soon as the three of them arrived at the entrance, they heard a quarrel coming from the door.

"You lied to me!"

"I know, Holmes is here!"

"Let me see him!" When the three of them walked out of the door, they saw a boy with blond hair and a crew cut, about 8 years old, arguing with the security guard at the door of the Sherlock Holmes Museum.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Holmes has gone out to handle a case..."

"What case are you working on?"

"Well..." The security guard didn't know how to explain it to a child who didn't even know that Holmes was not a real person.

Seeing that the security guard couldn't answer, the boy became even more excited.

"The situation is urgent! If we don't act quickly, people will die!"

The word "dead" triggered Conan's subconscious nerves. At this time, the boy looked down at his watch and exclaimed, "Oh no! The time is almost up!"

"My sister's game is about to start, I have to go back immediately..." The boy turned around and was about to run away. Seeing this, Conan hurried forward to block the boy's way.

"If you don't mind, could you tell me about the case you mentioned?" But the little boy didn't buy into the Grim Reaper's account at all. Instead, he felt a little resistant to this arrogant peer in front of him.

"Why should I tell you this?" Conan smiled confidently when he heard the boy's words.

"Because I am Holmes's disciple!"

"Glass~" Conan raised a finger and pointed at the boy in front of him. At the same time, a thin figure standing at the corner looked at this scene with a very surprised expression on his face.

Sherlock Holmes's...disciple?

Chapter 1269 Daughter

At the intersection of Baker Street, in front of the Sherlock Holmes statue, Qin Zhibo stood in front of the woman, both of them sizing each other up.

Judging from the appearance, the woman's frame is relatively large, her figure is hidden in the brown coat, and her short light blond hair is exposed from under the brim of the hat.

Above the nose pads in the middle of her glasses, there is a very distinctive tuft of curly hair. Through the bottom of her brown sunglasses, you can see that the corners of her eyes are slightly tilted up, which is very similar to Akai Shuichi.

And that sharp, cold look is also similar to Akai Shuichi. This person should be Akai Mary... Judging from the original owner's relationship with her, this should be her sister-in-law.

However, it seems that the two of them have not seen each other for many years. It is indeed a bit awkward to meet unexpectedly.

If I say something wrong, it might arouse the other person's suspicion. So it's best to wait for the other person to speak first, and then answer yourself... Qin Zhibo was thinking in his heart when the woman slowly put the camera in her coat pocket and asked directly.

"So? What did you want to say when you called me over?"

"What's wrong with Akai Shuichi?" Calling him by his name? Qin Zhibo was a little surprised to hear this cold title, but he quickly recovered his composure.

"Something happened to Xiuyi during his most recent mission. While his body isn't seriously injured, his brain... has lost its memory." Mary's eyelids twitched slightly, and after a three-second silence, she asked, "To what extent?" Qin Zhibo replied solemnly, "Aside from basic common sense and survival skills, he no longer remembers his identity or past experiences."

"The doctor said the hope of a cure is slim, but if I could see my family, maybe I could recover some memories deep in my brain..." Before Qin Zhibo could finish his words, Mary, with her head slightly lowered, suddenly asked, "What mission caused him to lose his memory?"

"Is it about his father?" Qin Zhibo frowned slightly, remembering what Shuichi Akai said to him the night before the operation to capture Gin.

He joined the FBI many years ago with the goal of finding his father, Akai Tsutomu. 17 years ago, Akai Tsutomu offended a powerful figure while investigating the case of Haneda Hiroshi and had to go on the run.

After a period of escape, he suddenly disappeared in the United States and has not been heard from since. This is why Akai Shuichi joined the FBI, hoping to find his father through his own efforts.

Because deep down in his heart, he never thought that his father would die so easily. Since Qin Zhibo was talking to Akai Shuichi as Akai Wuwu that night, he revealed a lot of things.

Including his ability to successfully obtain a US green card and join the FBI, all thanks to the original owner

Vince Qin's help. However, Vince Qin always kept silent about the news about his father, Akai Tsutomu.

This made Shuichi Akai always suspicious of Vince Qin. It was also that night that Qin Zhibo first learned what Shuichi Akai was really thinking.

Unfortunately, Qin Zhibo himself did not know the original owner

What exactly did "Vince Qin" hide from Shuichi Akai regarding Akai Wuwu? Now, this woman named Akai Mary asked about Akai Wuwu again, forcing Qin Zhibo to be on guard.

If Akai Shuichi told Mary about his suspicions, then his current situation was not safe.

Because since Mary put her right hand in her coat pocket, she has never taken it out...

"That's right..."

"Seventeen years ago, Wu Wu had to flee because he offended a big shot, and finally disappeared suddenly in the United States."

"Actually, that big shot controls a very large organization, and Shuichi Akai has been fighting against that organization for many years after entering the FBI."

"Some time ago, Shuichi suffered some head injuries during a confrontation with an organization cadre, which resulted in amnesia."

"Currently, he is training secretly under my arrangement. He is under the care of a dedicated person and is very safe."

"But considering his future, I got your contact information from Kang Qing and came all the way to the UK..." Qin Zhibo's words were interrupted by Mary again.

"You are lying."

"Huh?" Qin Zhibo was startled. Suddenly, something resembling a gun barrel bulged out of Mary's right pocket and aimed at Qin Zhibo, who was standing opposite her.

"You have been a private detective in Japan for a long time. How can you still be involved in FBI tasks?"

"Who are you?" Mary gritted her teeth and looked at the man in front of her. Qin Zhibo also had a stunned expression, with a look of disbelief in his eyes.

This woman is so sharp and even carries a pistol... Although I knew that Akai Tsutomu was MI6, there was very little information about his wife Mary.

"I can explain that..." Facing the invisible gun pointed at him, Qin Zhibo calmed himself and said calmly, "Actually, the FBI isn't the only one investigating that organization. I'm also secretly investigating them in Japan."

"Five years ago, Shuichi ended up undercover in that organization because of a mission from the FBI."

"At that time, he didn't know that the organization he was working as an undercover agent was the one who caused Akai Taketake to disappear and was also the murderer in the Haneda Koji case."

"Some time ago, he came to Japan after pursuing members of the organization. The target happened to live not far from my detective agency, so he needed some assistance from me,"

"It happened that I was also investigating that organization, so I joined forces with him personally."

"It's just that an accident occurred during the mission, which led to his amnesia..." Qin Zhibo was not sure whether Mary could understand what he explained, because this series of events was quite complicated.

This part alone is an abbreviated version. If we go into more detail and add the Nine Angels Organization, the Japanese Public Security Bureau, and Kaito Kidd, it would be even more difficult to explain clearly.

"Anyway, Shuichi is currently training somewhere in Japan."

"If you want to go to Japan to see him, you can contact my detective agency in Japan. Just go to Mihua Town in Tokyo and ask about it. It's called Zhibo Detective Agency."

"If I haven't returned to Japan yet, you can leave a letter in the mailbox at the entrance of the detective agency, and someone will naturally contact you then."

"Okay, if there's nothing else, I'll leave first..." Qin Zhibo didn't want to get too entangled with this woman carrying a gun. His mission this time was just to pass on the message. It was Mary's freedom to go see her son or not.

Before he left Japan, he had arranged for Amuro Toru to check the detective agency's mailbox regularly. If he found a letter from Mary, he would take her to see Akai Shuichi.

Qin Zhibo turned around and left. Just three meters away, Akai Marie from behind suddenly called him.

"Wait a minute." Qin Zhibo stopped and looked back.

"Anything else?" Mary took her right hand out of her pocket, took two steps closer, and said, "I'm sorry I doubted you just now. My daughter and I have been living in fear all these years. I hope you can understand that..."

"I completely understand you." Qin Zhibo turned around, the corners of his mouth slightly raised.

"If someone who hasn't been in touch for years suddenly comes looking for you, anyone would be more cautious."

"But it's rare to see someone carrying that thing to alert others..." Mary smiled and reached into her pocket with her right hand again, but what she took out was a lighter.

She put the lighter back into her pocket and then asked solemnly, "Can you tell me in detail about the organization you mentioned?" Qin Zhibo looked a little embarrassed when he heard this request.

It's not that the organization's information cannot be leaked, but this place is too close to the Sherlock Holmes Museum. If you stay too long, you may be discovered by Conan and his party.

It would be fine if Conan misunderstood him for having a cross-border romance, but if it was discovered that he was here to do business, it would be difficult to explain.

"Of course, we can, but this doesn't seem like the place to talk, right?" There were many tourists on Baker Street, and people were coming and going frequently, so it was indeed not a suitable place to discuss serious business.

Mary nodded in understanding, and then said: "Then go to the hotel where my daughter and I are staying."

"It's a good opportunity for her to see what her father's old friend looks like..." As Mary said this, she took out the phone from her coat pocket and dialed a number.

Looking at Qin Zhibo's puzzled eyes, Mary explained: "My daughter is also in Baker Street now. I'm calling her to go back with her..."

"Oh." Qin Zhibo nodded in understanding. ...Baker Street, in front of the Sherlock Holmes Museum.

"Because I am Holmes's disciple!"

"Mr. Glass~" Conan raised a finger and pointed at the boy in front of him with a playful look.

The boy's expression was startled, and he was stunned on the spot.

"How do you know my name?"

"Do you know who I am?" Conan raised his eyebrows slightly, and a confident smile appeared on his lips.

"This is just simple reasoning..."

"First of all, there is white liquid and powder on your lips. That should be the fresh cream and powdered sugar on the strawberries, right?"

"And the cup you're holding, it has lime, cucumber, and mint in it. This should be a drink called Pimm's. Since you're a child, there's no alcohol in it. It should only be lemonade, right?" The boy picked up the cup and looked at it, then nodded.

"I asked the store clerk to adjust this for me..." Conan smiled slightly and continued to reason.

"If you want to watch a sport where you can enjoy Pimm's and strawberries with cream, it has to be Wimbledon."

"Today is the semi-finals of the women's singles. The first match starts at around 1pm, but now it's already after 2pm..."

"So your sister can only participate in the second game. One of the contestants is Wang Haili, whose parents are Chinese..."

“But judging from your appearance, you really have nothing to do with being Asian, so the other player in the second game, the world’s number one lawn queen, Minerva Glass, is your sister. "

"And from your shirt pocket, I can vaguely see the VIP room pass for the Wimbledon Tennis Tournament." As he said that, Conan reached out and pulled out the short rope hanging outside the boy's shirt pocket, with a green tag tied underneath.

"awesome!"

"You are really a disciple of Sherlock Holmes, right?!" Conan looked a little proud when he was praised by the boy named Glass.

But at that moment, a few crisp applause sounds came from the street corner two meters ahead. Clap, clap, clap... Conan and Glass turned their eyes in the direction of the sound and saw a man in a dark brown jacket and hat walking out from the shadows.

"What a wonderful reasoning~" Conan was stunned. When did this person eavesdrop here? Why didn't he notice it?

When the man came closer, Conan could see his face from under the deliberately lowered brim of his hat. He was a boy with some dark circles under his eyes, with fine black hair scattered on his forehead. His face was not tough, but handsome.

He walked up to Conan with a smile on his face, bent down and said, "Your reasoning was really good just now~"

"Actually, I am also a Sherlock Holmes fan. It can be said that I am obsessed with it!"

"You just said that you are a disciple of Sherlock Holmes, which makes me very interested... Can I know your name?" Conan looked at the suspicious man in front of him in amazement, especially the pair of fangs that appeared in his mouth when he smiled, as if he had seen them somewhere... But he said that he was a disciple of Sherlock Holmes just casually to fool the children. This man couldn't take it seriously, right?

After all, Sherlock Holmes is a fictional character and adults all over the world know it.

"Um, that..." Conan was just about to casually brush off this suspicious man who had approached him when Mouri Ran and others came out of the Sherlock Holmes Museum.

Just now, Maori Lan and Kudo Shinichi went to call Maori Kogoro and Dr. Agasa, and now the four of them came out together.

Mao Lilan turned around and saw the person bending in front of Conan.

"Conan?"

"What's wrong?" Mao Lilan came over first.

Kudo Shinichi, Maori Kogoro, and Dr. Agasa followed behind. The bent-over man raised his head and saw Maori Ran coming first, and his face was stunned.

It was the girl at that time... Ran Mouri also noticed the strangeness in the other person's expression, and subconsciously thought that there was something strange on her face, so she quickly turned around to ask the person next to her.

"Shinichi, is there something on my face?" Kuroba Kaito looked at the face that looked similar to Nakamori Aoko's and shook his head.

"No..." However, at this moment, the man who was originally standing in front of Conan suddenly showed a surprised expression and shouted happily: "Shinichi!" He walked straight over and grabbed Kuroba Kaito's hand.

"Haha! I didn't expect to meet you here!"

"What a coincidence!" Kuroba Kaito looked at the person who was holding his hand in surprise, his eyes full of helplessness.

Oh no, could this be one of Kudo Shinichi's friends? But... Ran Maoli saw this scene and asked curiously, "Shinichi, is this your friend?"

"Ah? I..." Kuroba Kaito quickly turned his gaze to Conan who was shorter than him. He definitely didn't know this person, so he could only ask for help from the real Kudo Shinichi.
