Conan Rick's Investigator

Qin Zhibo looked at Kudo Shinichi's gradually receding back and guessed that this guy was definitely not here for sightseeing.

Judging from his cautious and careful look, he seemed to have encountered some troubles, and even took a temporary antidote...

What is going on?

Qin Zhibo thought about it and felt that it was definitely unrealistic to ask Conan for information based on his identity.

Fortunately, there happened to be a person sitting opposite me who would not feel out of place even if he appeared here.

Thinking in his mind, Qin Zhibo cast a meaningful look at Kuroba Kaito across the table.

……

On the streets of Salisbury, Kudo Shinichi was walking forward with a serious expression.

Unlike the relaxed tourists around him, he was directed here because of a phone call from the kidnappers, so naturally there was no smile on his face.

However, since the kidnappers have not called yet, Kudo Shinichi suggested to Dr. Agasa that he go into the city to explore first, and maybe he can find the location where Xiaolan is being held.

As Kudo Shin walked, he scanned the surrounding street scenes, hoping to find some clues.

However, just as he was concentrating on exploring forward, a hand slowly attacked him from behind.

Snapped.

The palm patted his shoulder neither lightly nor heavily, causing Kudo Shinichi to shrink his shoulders in fear.

The dead memories are attacking the back of my head.

He quickly turned around and saw that it was another self who was greeting him with a smile.

"Hi~"

"…Hey, you head!"

Kudo Shinichi yelled.

He reacted and realized that the young man in front of him was Kuroba Kaito who had escaped from him before!

Kuroba Kaito did not respond to Kudo Shinichi's overreaction, and asked with a smile: "Why are you here? And you have turned back to your original appearance..."

Kuroba Kaito quickly looked at the "self" in front of him.

I have to say that I am indeed very similar to Kudo Shinichi, we are simply carved from the same mold.

This level of similarity, could it be that my parents are hiding something from me, that they have a twin or something like that...

"I……"

Kudo Shinichi was about to subconsciously tell the purpose of his visit, but he immediately reacted and asked back: "I should ask you, why are you here?"

"Travel~" Kuroba Kaito gave the answer without hesitation.

"Only a ghost can believe it!"

Ever since Kuroba Kaito came up with the idea of ​​using their identical appearance to exchange passports, Kudo Shinichi no longer dared to look down on the boy in front of him who was of the same age as him.

In addition, he is not sure of the other party's position yet, so he naturally has to adopt a cautious attitude.

However, Kuroba Kaito put his arm around Kudo Shinichi's shoulders and asked again, "I've told you why I came here, so you should tell me your reason too, right?"

"If I remember correctly, you should be on the plane back to Japan now, right?"

Kudo Shinichi took away Kuroba Kaito's hand on his shoulder with a look of disgust, and said unhappily: "The flight has been suspended, so I can't leave for the time being..."

“Grounded?”

Kuroba Kaito was stunned for a moment, but then he thought that it might be the influence of Gehros.

"Then what are you doing here by yourself, and what about the others with you?"

"Where is 'Sister Xiaolan'?"

Kuroba Kaito deliberately imitated Conan's tone and said the four words "Sister Xiaolan".

When he heard this title, Kudo Shinichi's pupils trembled immediately.

He lowered his head and decided to put aside his insignificant dignity.

"Xiaolan was kidnapped. I came to this city under the instructions of the kidnappers..."

"Since you're here earlier, do you know what's going on here?"

"Even the slightest anomaly can..."

What Kudo Shinichi lacks most now is information. If he blindly follows the kidnapper's instructions, he will always be led by the nose.

For this reason, he did not hesitate to bow to his "opponent" just to rescue Xiaolan.

Upon hearing that Xiaolan was kidnapped, Kuroba Kaito also restrained the frivolous smile on his face.

After spending that day together, he had a pretty good impression of Xiaolan, especially her appearance which was 70% similar to Aoko, which made him a little worried.

"Kidnapped?"

"When did this happen?" asked Kuroba Kaito.

Kudo Shinichi did not answer immediately, but glanced around first.

"There are too many people here, let's go back to the car and talk..."

"Go back to the car..."

Kuroba Kaito groaned for a moment, thinking that he had only come here to ask what happened as Qin Zhibo requested.

And the matter of recovering the Crimson Tears is also very urgent for them.

"Wait a minute, I'll make a phone call and ask."

Kuroba Kaito decided to ask first and then decide whether to help or not.

Chapter 1315 Kuroba Kaito: Am I a substitute?

Looking at Kuroba Kaito walking to the side, Kudo Shinichi already had some guesses in his heart.

I guess that person is also in this small town now...

Although the purpose of these two people coming here is not clear at the moment, they should not be here just for sightseeing, right?

At this time, Qin Zhibo was waiting in the restaurant when the phone on the table suddenly vibrated.

He picked up the phone, and Kuroba Kaito on the other end told him what he knew.

Qin Zhibo was very surprised to hear that Mao Li Ran was kidnapped and the kidnappers specifically asked Kudo Shinichi to come here.

"Uncle, I'm a little worried that the person who kidnapped the girl with the horns might be from the Beast Brotherhood?"

"That reincarnation prophecy mentioned that the resurrection of the Black Pharaoh requires not only gems, but also a human reincarnation body..."

"If that girl is the reincarnation..."

The conjecture proposed by Kuroba Kaito is exactly what Qin Zhibo is worried about.

Although Mao Lilan has a physique that is easy to win prizes, it is really suspicious that she was kidnapped at such a sensitive time and the kidnappers did not ask for money.

But if Mouri Ran is a reincarnation, why did she specifically ask Kudo Shinichi to go?

"We cannot rule out this possibility..."

"The gem's signal has been circling Wiltshire for a few hours, which means that the other party's final destination should be somewhere in the county."

"Now you have to follow Kudo Shinichi. Tell me if anything happens."

Qin Zhibo still believes that with Conan's ability, he will find a way to rescue Mao Li Ran.

Because of this, if the organization that kidnapped Mao Lilan is really the zoo organization, there will be a chance to see through their complete plan in advance.

After all, being led by the unstable gem signal is not a solution.

Damn, if only the locating spell worked...

Qin Zhibo tried the locating spell last night, but the effect was very poor and it was unusable.

After all, there are many similar things like gems, and whether they are real or fake, there is no difference in appearance.

In addition, he felt that the "Crimson Tears" itself was like a shield, resisting the search of the locating spell.

This is normal. Otherwise, if the object could be found directly through divination, the zoo organization would not have to hide until today.

……

At Qin Zhibo's instruction, Kuroba Kaito picked up the phone and returned to Kudo Shinichi.

"My boss agreed~"

"Let me lend you a hand and rescue your girlfriend!"

Kuroba Kaito patted Kudo Shinichi's shoulder very familiarly, as if the two were old friends who hadn't seen each other for a long time.

Especially the similar Asian faces of the two people made passers-by cast surprised looks at them.

Looking at Kuroba Kaito's familiar look, Kudo Shinichi looked disdainful, but for some reason, he didn't mind his behavior.

The two returned to the parking lot outside Salisbury and prepared to go back to Dr. Agasa's car to discuss what to do next.

When passing by the parking lot, Kudo Shinichi glanced at the many vehicles in the parking lot and guessed that one of them should be the car of Kuroba Kaito and his companions.

Because according to his passport, Kuroba Kaito is not old enough to drive, so he must be accompanied by an adult.

This person is most likely Michael. As long as we stay here, he will definitely show up...

As soon as this thought appeared in Kudo Shinichi's mind, he immediately took it back.

Although this may be the closest time to Michael's true identity, rescuing Xiaolan is the most important thing.

So, Kudo Shinichi had no choice but to take Kuroba Kaito back to Dr. Agasa's car.

Dr. Agasa, who was sitting in the front driver's seat, was stunned when he saw two identical Kudo Shinichis walking out of the car window.

He stared at the two of them blankly until they walked to the side of his car.

Kudo Shinichi took the initiative to sit in the front passenger seat, while Kuroba Kaito sat in the back seat.

"Shinichi, this is..."

"Doctor, you've met Kuroba Kaito." Kudo Shinichi gave a brief introduction.

Dr. Agasa was stunned for a moment, and then he remembered that there was another boy in the world who looked almost identical to Kudo Shinichi.

"you……"

Dr. Agasa wanted to ask how they met, and this time it was Kuroba Kaito who took the initiative to answer.

"I was traveling here and happened to meet this famous detective..."

"I heard that you guys are in trouble. I happen to have some time, and with the invitation from this famous detective, I'm here to help you~"

Facing Kuroba Kaito's frivolous tone, Dr. Agasa turned to look at Kudo Shinichi.

Dr. Agasa finally felt relieved after receiving a look of affirmation from Kudo Shinichi.

Just as he was about to speak, a phone rang suddenly with a vibrating buzzing sound.

Kudo Shinichi and Dr. Agasa's pupils flickered suddenly, and the former quickly took out his cell phone from his pocket.

It was Mao Lilan's cell phone that rang.

He picked up the phone, and there was that familiar voice-changer on the other end.

"You are in Wiltshire already?"

"Ah."

"Come to the highway entrance on the north side of town. There is a black van parked there. Get in."

The kidnapper changed the subject and said sternly: "Don't play tricks, otherwise..."

The sound on the phone suddenly paused, and the next second, a familiar voice sounded on the phone.

"Shinichi, don't come over here!"

"Xiaolan!"

Kudo Shinichi immediately recognized the voice as Xiaolan's, and was about to say a few more words, but the microphone was taken over by the voice of the voice changer again.
