Conan Rick's Investigator

Kuroba Kaito nodded solemnly. He was sure that the shot was fired by Snake at Kudo Shinichi.

This shot was intended not only to incapacitate him but also to vent his anger at the long-term obstruction he had suffered.

However, Snake's shot would not hit the vital point.

"If his intention was to kill, he would have done it in the car, not wait until now..."

But even so, the situation is critical.

Upon learning that the kidnappers were from the dangerous zoo organization, Kuroba Kaito did not intend to wait any longer. He turned around and asked the professor next to him to start the car and continue approaching the target.

After confirming that the two hostages were in one place, he planned to force his way in.

In order to deal with emergencies that may occur at any time today, he carries props such as flash bombs, smoke bombs, and playing card hook guns.

At this moment, while the car was moving, he poured out the hidden small props from various corners of his body, and finally calculated how many cards he had available.

But just as he poured out flash bombs and smoke bombs from his sleeves, Dr. Agasa next to him was stunned.

"what?"

"Aren't these all my inventions?"

Looking at the familiar flash bombs, smoke bombs, and playing card guns, Dr. Agasa was stunned.

Especially the playing card gun, which was once his masterpiece.

He had intended to shoot a playing card launcher with moderate force, but he used too much force and the force of the playing card was strong enough to penetrate the wooden sign.

So, realizing that the invention was too dangerous, he stopped it in time.

However, he felt that it would be a waste to keep it in the warehouse, so he gave the invention to an old friend whom he had known for many years.

To this day, this old friend is also his partner in inventions, helping to test new inventions and making suggestions for improvements.

The specially made smoke bomb is proof of this.

"Do you...know Terai Konosuke?"

Kuroba Kaito answered subconsciously, "Yes..."

The next second, he suddenly realized that something was wrong. He turned to look at Dr. Agasa and said, "Grandpa, could it be that you are the doctor that Father Terai mentioned?"

Kuroba Kaito has always known that Terai Yosuke got these special inventions from a certain doctor, but he doesn't know who it was.

Dr. Agasa nodded hesitantly, then corrected himself, "I'm not old! I'm only 52!"

This made Kuroba Kaito slap his forehead and think in his heart that he was careless.

I didn't expect to meet the inventor of the small props here.

In this way, as long as Kudo Shinichi comes back, he will definitely be able to follow the clues to find his identity in Japan!

who cares!

……

On the other side, Kudo Shinichi fell to the ground after being shot.

On the other side, blood was flowing from the gunshot wound in the shoulder.

Snake put away his pistol and looked at his masterpiece with satisfaction.

After the previous fight, he already knew how powerful Kaito Kidd was, and it would be safer to weaken his mobility first.

Then he took out his phone and dialed a number.

Ran Mouri, who was sitting on a chair, looked at Kudo Shinichi who was lying on the ground, and tears of heartache flowed from her eyes, wetting her face.

Kudo Shinichi, who was lying on the ground, was in so much pain that beads of sweat were dripping down his forehead, but he still tried hard to keep his mind clear.

He was still struggling to crawl towards Xiaolan.

Unexpectedly, Snake walked over and stepped on his back, stopping him from getting closer to Xiaolan.

Seeing this scene, Mao Lilan, with tears in her eyes, immediately burst into anger and stared at Snake.

This glare made Snake feel a little uneasy.

The kidnapping of this woman was just to force Kaito Kidd to surrender. Now that he has succeeded, she should be useless, right?

Just as Snake was about to raise his pistol, the phone call was connected.

He could only answer the phone first.

"Scoop, I've captured Kaito Kidd..."

"When can the ceremony begin?"

Shinichi Kudo, who was lying at Snake's feet, was immediately shocked when he heard the name "Scooping".

Although the incident happened a long time ago, he still remembered that Scoobing was a killer wanted by Interpol.

Previously, in the incident of the Egg of Memory, he thwarted the other party's plot to steal the Egg of Memory, but he did not catch the other party.

It seems her name is Pu Siqinglan?

Is she the mastermind behind this kidnapping?

Scott, who was on the other end of the phone, heard the intermittent voice coming from the phone and asked, "Snake, why is your voice so incoherent?"

"Really?" Snake looked up at the ceiling, "Maybe it's because I'm in the basement now?"

"...No, I've been to that basement before, and making phone calls there isn't any problem."

Scout, who was on the other end of the line, immediately became alert and quickly ordered, "Hurry up and check if Kidd has any bugs!"

When Snake heard this, he immediately looked down at Kudo Shinichi who was lying on the ground, and saw an unusual bulge behind his collar.

Turning up the collar, the signal tracker was right underneath.

After searching more carefully, he also found the cufflink-type bug.

Snake threw the two things under his feet and crushed them, looked angrily at the two younger brothers who were responsible for the body search, then raised his foot and kicked Kudo Shinichi in the abdomen.

“Hmm!”

This time, Kudo Shinichi could no longer hold back and let out a painful groan.

"鞥——!"

The distressed Mao Lilan spoke again, but she was bound and could not stop what was happening.

At this time, Scouting on the phone also reminded: "Snake, Kidd's companions are probably rushing to you, take your men and evacuate there immediately!"

"knew!"

Snake hung up the phone and immediately ordered two of his men to take Shinran and the others out of the basement.

Everyone evacuated quickly.

At the same time, Kuroba Kaito, who was about to rescue, heard the sound coming from the bug and immediately realized that the situation was not good.

"not good!"

Then, the bug and the signal tracker were destroyed at the same time, and the signal dot on the prisoner's tracking glasses disappeared.

At this time, on the road 500 meters ahead, three cars just drove out of a farm on the side of the road and sped towards the north side of the road.

"There they are!"

Kuroba Kaito pointed forward and quickly took off his glasses that were in the way.

Dr. Agasa looked at the convoy ahead with a serious look in his eyes and stepped on the accelerator hard.

As the accelerator was stepped on, the distance between the two and the convoy in front was getting closer and closer.

But Snake also noticed the tail following behind him and immediately gave orders.

"Guys! Shoot!"

Two heads popped out of the last car, each holding a pistol in their hands, and firing bullets at the back as if they were free.

Bullets hit the front window and the hood, and the shattering glass fragments in the window forced Professor Agasa and Kuroba Kaito in the front row to lower their heads quickly.

Fortunately, this is an almost straight road, so even if you can't see the direction, there won't be any big problems in the short term.

But at this moment, the car suddenly turned left out of control.

Dr. Agasa had to quickly look up and control the steering wheel, turning the car into the wasteland next to the road.

When he stepped on the accelerator several times to get back on the road, the car broke down completely and thick smoke billowed out of the hood in front.

The two men quickly got out of the car to check and found that one of the front tires was blown out and there were two bullet holes in the engine under the hood.

Looking at the rapidly receding convoy, the two knew they were no longer able to pursue it.

"Shinichi, what do we do now?"

The nervous Dr. Agasa subconsciously mistook the familiar face in front of him for Kudo Shinichi.

Kuroba Kaito looked around. This was a highway, and there were no other residents nearby except the farm where the zoo organization had been hiding.

I looked up at the sky again and found that it had already turned dark in the evening.

"We can only call someone to pick us up..."

……

A black car was speeding on the dim road.

Qin Zhibo sat in the car, frowning as he looked at the road ahead which was getting darker.

Half an hour ago, the sky suddenly darkened.

It's only 5 o'clock in the afternoon.

At this time of year in the UK, the sky should be bright, but now it has entered the evening several hours earlier.

Plus, the sky suddenly turned dark, and it wasn’t even dusk yet.

All these abnormalities indicate that the return of the stars has officially begun...

According to the "Xuanjun Seven Chapter Secret Scripture", when the gravity of Ghros affects all nine planets in the solar system, the stars will be connected in a straight line to form a nine-star conjunction.

This is the correct position of the stars.

If the sky changes directly from light to dark, it means that a solar eclipse has occurred.

The return of the stars is just around the corner.

However, even now, the exact location of the gem cannot be pinned down.

Several previous inductions into the gem signal have confirmed that the "Crimson Tears" are currently located on the Salisbury Plain.

As for the specific installations on the plains...

Qin Zhibo slowed down the car and looked at the endless fields.

Against the backdrop of the sky, the plain that should have been green turned dark green, exuding an eerie and dead atmosphere.

Just then, the phone in my arms suddenly rang.

He picked up the phone and heard Kuroba Kaito's voice on the other end.

"Uncle, our car broke down here, could you come and pick us up?"

"you?"

"Yes, Professor Agasa and I."

Kuroba Kaito took the phone and glanced at Dr. Agasa who was still working on how to restore the car to normal. "I found out who kidnapped that girl through eavesdropping..."

"It's Snake. He's already taken those two somewhere."

"I also heard the 'ritual' from his phone..."

Snake.

Hearing this somewhat ancient name, Qin Zhibo's expression became even heavier.

Snake is a member of the Zoo organization. Although he has disappeared for a long time, his presence in this place must be closely related to the gems and the reincarnation ceremony.

And more importantly, now I have a way to lock the specific location of the gem.

"Okay, I'll pick you up now.

Where is it?”
