Conan Rick's Investigator

Even when he had just sneaked into the vicinity of Stonehenge, he sent Minase Yangmeng to observe whether there were any enemy reinforcements on the plains, and learned that there was still a group of people operating secretly on the plains.

From the appearance of the leading men, he guessed that the situation this time should be a game within a game.

That's why he tried every possible way to delay time.

At this moment, the vehicles behind stopped not far away, and a mother ran down from the passenger seat of one of the vehicles with a worried look on her face.

"Shinichi!"

"My son!"

Chapter 1322 The Disappearing Castle

Salisbury Plain, Stonehenge.

The warm sunlight is like a curtain that slowly opens, dispelling the darkness and allowing the earth to once again exude lush greenery.

As soon as several cars on the plain stopped not far away, a woman rushed out of the car.

Qin Zhibo also knew this woman, she was Kudo Shinichi's mother, Kudo Yukiko.

Yukiko took two steps at a time and hurried to Kudo Shinichi's side.

Kudo Shinichi was in a very bad condition at this time, but he had not completely fainted. He saw a blurry figure in front of him through his slightly opened eyes.

"Mom..." His breath was weak and his brain no longer had the energy to think about why he saw Yukiko here.

"Shinichi! It's mom!"

Yukiko responded, holding Kudo Shinichi's head in her arms and brushing away the messy hair on his forehead with care.

At this time, Kudo Yusaku also stepped forward and said to Yukiko: "The ambulance is on the way..."

He squatted down next to his son again and praised him, "Shinichi, you did a great job this time."

"Dad..."

"Ran..."

Without paying attention to his father's affirmation, the first person that came to Kudo Shinichi's mind was Mao Li Ran.

Kudo Yusaku turned his head and looked at the ground next to him. A short-haired woman was giving Mao Li Ran a simple physical examination.

"The child is fine, he just fainted..."

Hearing that Ran Mouri was fine, Kudo Shinichi's tense nerves finally relaxed and he closed his eyes peacefully.

Qin Zhibo was a little surprised when he saw the Kudo couple suddenly appear.

It is understandable that Hei Yu Daoyi appears here. After all, this matter is closely related to him.

However, when Qin Zhibo heard from Minase Yangmeng that people who looked like the Kudo couple were also here, he was a little confused.

At this time, Kuroba Kaito also walked out of the stone circle with the gem.

When he saw Kuroba Toichi without his disguise and the short-haired woman taking care of Mouri Ran, an expression of surprise appeared on his face.

At this time, a bald old man wearing glasses also got out of the car, waving excitedly and shouting, "Master!"

"Terai-san?!" Kuroba Kaito glared, "And Dad and Mom!"

"Why are you here?"

Kuroba Kaito looked at his parents and suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart.

“This is a long story…”

Kuroba Toichi did not answer Kuroba Kaito's question immediately, but turned his gaze to Qin Zhibo.

"These gentlemen, we are all on the same side now. I think you can shed your worn-out disguise..."

With the reminder from Heiyu Daoyi, Qin Zhibo realized that his human skin mask had been damaged due to the previous fight and was no longer suitable for disguise.

Moreover, as the only person who knows that Kuroba Kaito came to London with him, Kuroba Toichi is also clear about his true identity.

Qin Zhibo simply took off the mask on his face.

When the mask was revealed, a refreshing feeling instantly swept across the entire face.

At this time, another middle-aged man got out of the car.

He walked up to Qin Zhibo and said with a faint smile, "We meet again, Mr. Qin."

Qin Zhibo turned to look at the man, was slightly startled, and then he remembered the man's identity.

This person was the one sent by the Nine Angels to retrieve the "Shining Trapezohedron" after the Las Vegas incident.

Luc Villiers.

……

Then an ambulance and a police car arrived at the same time and sent the injured Xinlan and the believers who were left behind to the hospital.

When the British doctor asked these believers what injuries they had suffered, Qin Zhibo replied that their

The wounds on Qin Zhibo's body were simply bandaged.

Now he wanted to find out what was going on.

Everyone returned to Salisbury in Wiltshire to rest and hold a brief briefing.

It turned out that after Kuroba Toichi returned, he immediately set off to the United States with Terai Kōnosuke to look for Kuroba Chikage.

In addition to finding Hei Yu Qianying, he also successfully contacted the Nine Angels Organization behind it.

In fact, ever since Harui Fuden's sacrifice, the Nine Angels Organization has been sending agents to secretly monitor the Beast Brotherhood's every move.

At the same time, the Nine Angels Organization also used the FBI channel to thoroughly investigate the situation of the Beast Brotherhood.

The Brotherhood of the Beast's main resources are in Europe, but the Nine Angels have investigated a company owned by the Brotherhood in the United States.

The company is called New World (NI), a science and technology company that serves as a cover for the Brotherhood's political and economic activities. The current actual controller is Edward Chandler.

This person's other identity is Günter von Goldberg II, the world's number one illusionist.

The Nine Angels organization also found out that Edward Chandler went to Europe when he was 11 years old. It was rumored that he went there to seek medical treatment. He did not return to the United States until he was 20 years old.

Shortly after his return to the United States, his parents died unexpectedly in a car accident, and Edward Chandler inherited NMI from his parents.

After that, Edward Chandler used the pseudonym Günther von Goldberg II, performed magic tricks around the world, and became the world's number one illusionist.

At almost the same time, the notorious international killer "Spider" also appeared.

The original plan of the Nine Angels Organization was to use NMI as a breakthrough point to investigate the Beast Brotherhood.

After the two sides exchanged the information they had, Hei Yu Daoyi analyzed the plan of the Beast Brotherhood.

The Demon's Eye Organization once wanted to stop the Beast Brotherhood's conspiracy by finding a reincarnation.

But the Demon Eye discovered that searching for a reincarnated body was like looking for a needle in a haystack, and required a large amount of manpower, financial resources, and material resources.

The Beast Brotherhood far away in Europe brought Edward Chandler all the way to Europe and trained him to be an illusionist. It was definitely not just for the purpose of setting up a puppet.

In addition, after investigating that he is currently holding a comeback performance in the UK, Hei Yu Daoyi judged that Edward Chandler is very likely the "reincarnation" mentioned in the prophecy of the Beast Brotherhood.

The next location of the Beast Brotherhood's action will be in London.

So they came to London to investigate...

"According to the information provided by Mr. Luke, the Beast Brotherhood and its sister organizations are also plotting to resurrect the Black Pharaoh..."

At this point, Luc Villiers stepped forward and took the initiative to introduce himself.

"This organization is called the Black Pharaoh Brotherhood. It's a cult organization that fanatically worships the Black Pharaoh. In the past, most of its members were of Egyptian descent, but in the past decade, they've become more inclusive."

"The Nine Angels have discovered that the Black Pharaoh Brotherhood has a key member in London named Edward Gavigan."

"This man is a renowned British Egyptologist, a director of the Penhe Foundation, which is controlled by the Black Pharaoh Brotherhood, and the High Priest of the Black Pharaoh Brotherhood in London."

"Mr. Kuroba Toichi suspected that this person must have knowledge of the Brotherhood's entire operational plan, so he investigated him."

"Unfortunately, this person possesses a strong anti-investigation mentality. He usually acts impeccably, even using coded language when communicating with the organization."

"This brought the investigation to a standstill..."

"Thanks to the help of Mr. Kudo Yusaku, we were able to decipher the code and discover the final location for the reincarnation ritual: Stonehenge on Salisbury Plain."

"Next, we will set up a reversal array at Stonehenge in advance, and when the ritual array is activated, we will reverse the array..."

Regarding the reversal of the magic circle, Qin Zhibo had seen it before at a séance held by a psychic enthusiast.

Simply put, reversing the magic circle can reverse the effect of the magic circle, turning the spell of summoning gods into the spell of sending gods.

The effect on the Black Pharaoh's reincarnation ritual is to send the Black Pharaoh's soul back to the Dreamland, and even expel Ghroth who created this ideal opportunity.

However, the reversal array can only be activated after the original array has begun to take effect.

This is also the reason why we have to wait until the critical moment to take action.

What Qin Zhibo didn’t understand was why Kudo Yusaku appeared here?

Although Yusaku Kudo is the world's top mystery writer and his reasoning ability is second to none, Kuroba Toichi is Kaito Kid and has fought with Kudo Yusaku before. It is impossible for him to take the initiative to find Kudo Yusaku, right?

Could it be that Yusaku Kudo is also the agent of the Nine Angels group?

Qin Zhibo asked the doubts in his mind.

This made Kuroba Toichi and Kudo Yusaku look at each other in tacit understanding, and the corners of their mouths rose slightly at the same time.

Kuroba Toichi: "I took the initiative to find Yusaku."

Excellent work?

Qin Zhibo narrowed his eyes slightly.

"Because we are...brothers."

brother……

"What? You're brothers!"

As soon as these words were spoken, Qin Zhibo and Kuroba Kaito in the room suddenly widened their eyes, with shock in their eyes not concealed at all.

Especially Kuroba Kaito, his eyes were almost falling out of shock.

"Dad!"

"Are you serious?"

Facing his own son's question, Kuroba Toichi nodded affirmatively and replied, "My parents divorced when Yusaku and I were still young. My father took me away to be raised, and Yusaku was given to my mother..."

After hearing this, Kuroba Kaito was still in shock and couldn't speak for a long time.

He would never have dreamed of such an outrageous plot in his life. The famous detective he had been fighting against for such a long time was actually related to him?

That Conan kid should be my cousin...

Kuroba Kaito recalled the birthdays written on their passports. They were the same age, his birthday was June 6st, and Kudo Shinichi's was May 21th...

Oops! My birthday is smaller!

Kuroba Kaito's pupils suddenly shrank as he suddenly realized that he had inexplicably gained a "cousin".

The key point is that this cousin is still his "opponent".

Japan is a country that is very particular about seniority and hierarchy. Even if a cousin is born a month earlier, his status is much higher.

At this moment, Kuroba Kaito understood one thing.

If there's anything more frustrating in life than not being able to steal a gem, it's having to bow down to your opponent and politely call him "brother."

Compared to Kuroba Kaito who was quickly sorting out the generations in his mind, Qin Zhibo quickly regained his composure.

Now he knew why Kuroba Kaito and Kudo Shinichi looked so similar.

There is no such thing as a popular face in this world, it's all about relatives...

“Um, this matter…”

Qin Zhibo was just about to ask whether Kudo Shinichi knew about this?

But then I thought, he is still lying in the hospital, so he probably doesn't know.

Alas... I wonder how the kid will feel when he wakes up and finds out that his uncle and cousin are two generations of Kaito Kid?
