Conan Rick's Investigator

The man in the driver's seat looked at Qin Zhibo who was passing by outside the car window, lowered his head and thought for a while.

"Yukiko, that man... I think we met him at the shooting range in Hawaii ten years ago?"

The woman next to him named Yukiko looked carefully in the direction of Qin Zhibo and shook her cute big wavy hair left and right.

"How can I still remember someone I met ten years ago? I don't have a memory as good as yours, Yusaku."

"It was when Shinichi was in first grade and our family went on vacation to Hawaii."

Yukiko thought about it again, but she had no patience and shook her big waves again.

"have no idea--"

Kudo Yusaku was silent, but it was understandable.

After all, Yukiko doesn't like playing with guns, so no matter what year she goes to the shooting range, Yukiko will impatiently go to the nearby mall to shop.

By the way, this man not only served as his shooting coach for two days, but also helped him correct some incorrect shooting postures.

And he even held Shinichi, who was only 7 years old at the time...

What's his name?

So many years have passed, I really can't remember it clearly.

I just vaguely remember that there seemed to be a "Qin" in his name.

And if I remember correctly, he should be an FBI agent, so why would he appear in Japan?

Are you on vacation?

Or are there other tasks?

Just when Kudo Yusaku was about to fall into thought, Yukiko pulled her man's ear and brought him back to the present situation.

"Hey! You finally managed to take a break from your busy schedule and come back to Japan. Stop dwelling on those unimportant things."

"I'm going to give Shinichi a surprise tomorrow~"

As she said this, Yukiko winked playfully.

In the back seat of the car, a series of messy cosplay costumes including the Dark Night Duke were neatly stacked.

Chapter 175 Latin, Disguise, and the Big Black Building

This week seems so long...

Every morning when he wakes up, Qin Zhibo would hold a cup of instant coffee to refresh himself, sit in front of the TV on time, and wait for Rena Mizunashi's morning news program.

On the one hand, in this era of relatively backward information media, television is one of the most effective means of obtaining news from the outside world.

On the other hand, Qin Zhibo can know what year, month, day and day it is through a small line of floating subtitles in the lower right corner of this news program.

This is very important for people like Qin Zhibo who have "time perception disorder".

……

When the ending theme song of the morning news sounded, Qin Zhibo quickly turned off the TV and went into the office's small room.

After completing the Black Brotherhood's main investigation mission last time, Qin Zhibo obtained a 7-day skill training acceleration card.

So Qin Zhibo started studying in full swing again.

There are two subjects to study: Latin and disguise.

Latin, of course, is essential for reading and investigating The Secret of the Worm.

Just like the last time you read "The Rite of the Corpse-Eating Canon", you must have the highest proficiency in Latin before you can read "The Secret of the Worm".

-

Language: Language refers to your language ability. Improving this skill will give you a stronger talent for language learning and a richer reserve of language knowledge.

Rating: 5

Proficiency: 1270/8000

(Currently mastered languages: English, Japanese, Chinese, French, Latin.)

-

This is Qin Zhibo’s current language skills.

Each time you start learning a new language, the next level of the language skill is unlocked and the proficiency required to fully master it doubles.

However, correspondingly, Qin Zhibo discovered that after his skill level increased, the speed at which he acquired proficiency through learning was almost twice as fast.

Last time, using the same skill training acceleration card, the proficiency gained from one day of French learning was 400~500.

Now, Qin Zhibo can also gain 400 to 500 proficiency points by studying Latin for one day.

But I used to learn French in the library, and now I am studying in the office.

If you conduct skill training at the corresponding location, the speed of acquiring proficiency will be doubled.

But Qin Zhibo did not choose to go to the library to study this time.

Two reasons.

First, there was no computer in the library, so I couldn't use the Latin learning material disks given by Professor Hirota, and there were no Latin learning reference books in the library.

Secondly, the reputation of the famous detective Qin Zhibo has spread. Every day, people come to the office to ask for commissions. It is really troublesome to run back and forth between the library and the office. Moreover, Qin Zhibo does not want to waste the social credit he has worked hard to build by closing the business.

As for the commissions, they are all small commissions to find cats and dogs, which can be easily handled with the Found Object Spell.

Because the efficiency of the retrieval spell is so high, Qin Zhibo has become the detective of choice for residents in several nearby blocks when their pets are lost. He is nicknamed "the famous detective with 100% pet recovery skills."

Md, it’s a good thing that I debuted early, otherwise this would have become the gimmick and name of my debut.

The increase in pet-finding tasks caused Qin Zhibo's magic power to be consumed faster.

It seems like I'll have to go find Hongzi to "replenish my magic" in a few days...

Apart from finding pets, the bigger commissions are just investigating extramarital affairs.

Although he has become a famous detective, he still cannot escape these boring daily routines.

Find pets, check for affairs...

But perhaps this is the daily life of a detective, except that this world has fallen into a pathological state called "madness"...

Back to the present, Qin Zhibo entered the cabin not to learn Latin, but to learn the art of disguise.

Over the past three days, Qin Zhibo has set aside an hour every day to learn the art of disguise, and now he is only 100 points away from upgrading.

100 proficiency, which is the time it takes to make a human skin mask.

Qin Zhibo expertly poured liquid silicone with disulfide curing agent onto the head mold. After heating and curing, he meticulously cut a mouth, two eyes, and two nostrils...

Then comes the patching, gluing of hair, and beautification of facial details.

Every step in making a human leather mask is a delicate job.

When the human skin mask was completed, Qin Zhibo's disguise skills were upgraded.

[Your Disguise skill has been improved, current level: 2]

"Yeah!"

There is a reason why Qin Zhibo is learning the art of disguise now.

Although the task of investigating the black organization has been completed, Qin Zhibo still has a clue obtained from the main task that has not been used.

That was the bar card I got in Yindou Hotel room last time.

If Qin Zhibo had not met Akemi Miyano, he could only go to this bar to complete this investigation task.

Although the mission is now completed, Qin Zhibo still wants to go to this bar to take a look.

I don’t know why, but I just care about it and want to know more about this organization.

But of course he couldn't go directly to the bar to investigate. After all, he had come into contact with Saburo Uozuka a few days ago, and it would be better not to be recognized again.

Qin Zhibo's initial idea was to wait for a while, until Uozuka Saburo had forgotten about him, and then go to the bar to find out what was going on.

I heard that fish only have a memory of seven seconds. Considering that Uozuka Saburo is a living human being, his memory is seven days?

But after the incident, Qin Zhibo remembered that he still had the ability to disguise himself.

Yup!

I have the ability to disguise myself, so why don’t I use it?

So Qin Zhibo began to learn the art of disguise again.

The human skin mask made with the Level 1 Disguise Technique is not only completely indistinguishable to acquaintances, but even a closer look will reveal that it is a "fake face".

So Qin Zhibo needs to be upgraded to level 2 at least.

In the hut, Qin Zhibo began to make a new human skin mask.

Silicone casting, heat curing, cutting holes, sanding the skin, gluing hair, and final beautification.

It was the same six steps again, but the human skin mask made by Qin Zhibo this time was very different from the previous one.

Whether it is the fineness of the skin, the hair pasting skills or the naturalness of the pores, there has been a huge improvement that is visible to the naked eye.

To give an example that may not be appropriate, the level of the previous human skin mask is 9.9 and free shipping.

This human skin mask has been successfully upgraded to 99, and it includes free shipping and supports seven-day no-reason returns.

Qin Zhibo put the human skin mask on his head and walked to the bathroom to look in the mirror.

"This human skin mask is quite interesting..."

"It's a human!"

……

Wearing a human skin mask, Qin Zhibo came to the big black building where the bar was located and looked up at the concrete behemoth in front of him.

Although this building is tall enough to stand out even in the international metropolis of Tokyo, its overall architectural style is very low-key.

To describe it in one word, it is...

black!

Chapter 176: The Man Ordering Tequila at a Cocktail Bar

After entering the Dahei Building, Qin Zhibo took the stairs to the second floor and then took the sightseeing elevator directly to the top floor.

The location recorded on the bar card is exactly the top floor of the Daikoku Building - the 20th floor.

Ding--

When the dark golden elevator door slowly opened, a long corridor appeared in front of Qin Zhibo.

At the end of the corridor, a colorful sign reads "Cocktail Bar".

This is exactly the destination of Qin Zhibo's trip.

Qin Zhibo finally adjusted the human skin mask on his face in the bathroom in the corridor. After making sure that the holes, eyes, nose, etc. were accurate, he pushed the door and walked into the bar.

Inside the cocktail bar, there are dim ambient lights and a large burgundy carpet.

Since it was still morning, there weren't many people in the bar.

Apart from a few guests sitting by the floor-to-ceiling windows who came to enjoy the beautiful city view, there was only one bartender inside the bar. There were less than ten people in the huge bar.

Qin Zhibo walked to the bar where the music was playing and moved his butt to the seat.

"A glass of whiskey, thank you."

Before coming here, Qin Zhibo happened to see whiskey in the office cabin.

That was the wine that belonged to the original owner, but Qin Zhibo himself didn't like drinking very much, and it would have a bad influence to put wine openly on the table in the office, so Qin Zhibo put the bottle of whiskey away.

Now arriving at the bar, Qin Zhibo naturally ordered a glass of whiskey.

As for the vodka I drank at Yindou Restaurant last time, why didn’t you order it this time?
