Conan Rick's Investigator

In the hotel room, Kaito Hotta stood by the bed, packing his luggage with a gloomy look.

Although this is not the first time he has been exposed for perjury, this time is different from the last time and the impact of the incident is greater.

Even the burial of the bodies of suicide victims was exposed.

Although the police cannot do anything to him for the time being without direct evidence, they will at least come to him to ask about the other unidentified bodies.

Before that, he could only go back to his hometown and hide for a while, waiting for the storm to pass.

Kaito Hotta was born in a small place far away from Tokyo.

Since he was a child, he has suffered a lot of discrimination and bullying because of his "outstanding" appearance.

When he grew up, due to his appearance, he had a very difficult time in the workplace and even found it difficult to find a decent job in the company.

By chance, he saw an American psychic performing spiritualism on the Internet. The psychic even appeared on a TV show and became a local celebrity.

In the American concept, the indigenous people of that land - the Indians often possess mysterious powers that cannot be explained by common sense.

Just like the stereotype that “all Chinese people know Kung Fu”.

Coupled with the idea that "everyone has their own unique characteristics", Kaito Horida found the track that truly suits him.

So he began to perform psychic skills on the Internet, learning his every move from American psychic masters.

But even so, there was no response at first.

Until he realized that he could combine psychic science with the most popular detective culture of the time to create the image of a "soul detective".

Just like that, the soul detective Kaito Hotta appeared.

Although he doesn't know how to solve cases, he can accumulate believers by using the voice of the dead person's soul to tell some things that outsiders don't know.

In addition to occasionally playing tricks, he has also gained a lot of fans on the Internet.

But with the collapse of his personal image this time, his basic plan on the Internet is completely over.

In this era, a new way of playing that can be both “black and red” and “red” has not yet been developed, and there is no way to use influence to sell goods through live streaming.

As long as no one believes in his psychic powers anymore, his value will no longer exist.

Fake psychics are even worse than fake kung fu masters, who don’t even have the chance to perform in bars or shows.

But fortunately, I have saved a lot of money over the years...

While packing his luggage, Kaito Horida fantasized about returning to his hometown and living a comfortable life away from the world.

It is not impossible that after a few years, he can change his name and become a "detective" again.

At the same time, Kaito Horida was completely unaware that the large wardrobe behind him was being pushed open silently from the inside.

Bang!

……

When Kaito Horida slowly opened his eyes, his hands and feet had been tied to a chair.

"Answer my question..."

"One more word and you're dead."

Kaito Horida turned his head in shock to look in the direction of the sound, only to find a black gun muzzle pointed at the side of his forehead.

The man holding the gun was not masked and appeared to be a man in black with slightly long hair.

"Who are you?"

Kaito Hotta asked the other party tremblingly.

But the answer he got was not words, but the sound of the pistol hammer being pressed down, which was the signal for the pistol to be put into the ready-to-fire state.

Kaito Horida immediately understood what this meant and quickly shut up.

The next second, the man asked in a cold voice: "What do you know about the Haneda Hiroshi case?"

"The case of Hiroshi Haneda?"

Kaito Horida was puzzled for a moment. He originally guessed that the family members of the deceased had watched this episode and were looking for him for revenge.

It turned out that he came to inquire about the case of Hiroshi Haneda.

"I, I don't know much..."

"I only heard that Amanda's bodyguard, Asaka... is a woman..."

"Before she disappeared, she was holding a female makeup mirror..."

"anything else?"

The man's voice was extremely cold, and the muzzle of the gun in his hand moved closer.

This frightened Kaito Horida even more, and his expression became out of control, and even his crotch area started to get wet.

"There are also some people who have entered Amanda's room... The man in the lead is a bald man..."

"Where did you get this information?" the man asked.

The muscles on Kaito Horida's face began to twitch and his voice became intermittent.

"It was an eyewitness..."

"A man wearing glasses..."

"Female……"

Kaito Horida's voice became lower and lower, until his head tilted and his wide eyes were completely lifeless.

The man looked at the violent death of Kaito Horita, his face expressionless.

He calmly put away the gun, then took out his cell phone and sent a text message.

【Rum, target solved】

After sending the text message, the man cleaned up the scene, pushed the door and left the room.

……

"cheers!"

"cheers!"

In a Chinese restaurant near the TV station, Qin Zhibo, Sera Masumi, and Koshimizu Nanatsuki raised their glasses to celebrate.

"That Tokatsu Junya is finished now. Discussions about the Lavender Villa case have spread on the Internet..."

Shira said this excitedly, and picked up a piece of mapo tofu and put it in his mouth.

Nanatsuki Koshimizu, who was sitting next to him, smiled and turned to Sera to thank him, "Thanks to your help this time, otherwise that guy would definitely continue to be stubborn..."

"Haha~"

Sera patted Nanatsuki Koshimizu's shoulder and said, "What are you thanking me for? Aren't we friends?"

Hearing this, a warm feeling welled up in Koshimizu Nanatsuki's heart.

"But I never thought that you were a high school girl..."

"Haha~" Sera laughed again, "People often mistake my gender for mine, I'm used to it~"

"is it?"

Nanatsuki Koshimizu also smiled playfully, "Actually, I am often misidentified..."

Qin Zhibo looked at the two people across the table who were exchanging experiences in this area, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

At this moment, the phone in my pocket suddenly rang.

What was a bit surprising was that the call was actually from Inspector Megure.

"Brother Qin, where are you?"

"Come on, Kaito Horita is dead..."

Chapter 1388 The Organization's Killer

"Is Kaito Hotta dead?"

Qin Zhibo was so surprised that he repeated what was said on the phone.

This sentence also attracted the attention of Masumi Sera and Nanatsuki Koshimizu who were sitting across the table. They stopped smiling and looked at him with concern.

"Is it suicide?" Qin Zhibo asked.

"No... it can be confirmed that it was a homicide, but the specific cause of death cannot be determined at this time."

Megure paused for a moment, "...Brother Qin, you should come over and take a look."

“Where is the scene?”

"In the hotel room where Kaito Horida is staying. You should know exactly where it is, right?"

"Yes, I'll be there soon."

Qin Zhibo hung up the phone and immediately fell into thought.

Since Megure contacted me and knew that I knew the location of Kaito Horida's hotel, it meant that they had already conducted a preliminary investigation of the scene and contacted the program team of Nichiren TV to understand the situation.

In this case, the police have not determined the cause of death, and it seems that the problem is indeed a bit tricky.

At this time, Shiliang, who was sitting opposite, asked seriously, "Uncle Qin, what's going on?"

Qin Zhibo picked up the coat on the back of the chair and explained, "Horita Kaito died in the hotel room. It was murder..."

"Kill him?"

Masumi Sera and Nanatsuki Koshimizu's eyes widened and they looked even more surprised.

Kaito Horita was killed?

Could it be that the evening TV show broadcast caused him to be sought after by his enemies?

But it's only been over an hour, the enemy's efficiency in seeking revenge seems to be a little higher...

"Uncle Qin, wait a minute, let's go together!"

Sera and Nanatsuki Koshimizu put on their coats and prepared to follow.

Qin Zhibo glanced at the two of them, "You guys?"

"Don't underestimate us!"

"We are both detectives after all!"

Koshimizu Nanatsuki also nodded seriously and agreed, "Besides, this matter is more or less related to us, so it's only right for us to go and take a look at the scene."

Looking at Shiliang and Yueshui with serious faces, Qin Zhibo thought for a moment, but couldn't find any reason to refute, so he could only agree.

……

The hotel where Kaito Horita stayed was on the other side of the Nichiren TV building, and Qin Zhibo drove to his destination in 15 minutes.

As soon as I entered the first floor lobby of the hotel, I saw a large number of reporters had arrived and were trying their best to search for exclusive news.

Originally, if a second-rate detective like Kaito Horita died, not so many people would pay attention to it.

But he had just appeared on TV and newspapers were writing tomorrow's news based on his perjury and burying of corpses when they suddenly received the news of Horida Kaito's death.

Which newspaper wouldn’t want to get a piece of the pie of this kind of program that can be called the “top-level current newspaper”?

However, due to the obstruction of the police and the hotel, these reporters could not go up to disrupt the investigation of the case. They could only wait for the people from the first investigation department to come down and then block the way for interviews.

Qin Zhibo and the other two went around to the staff elevator on the side of the hotel, identified themselves, and then went up without being discovered.

When we took the elevator to the floor where Kaito Horida's room was, we saw that the corridor with a radius of 10 meters from the door had been cordoned off.

Gao Mu was standing next to the cordon. When he saw Qin Zhibo coming, he immediately raised the cordon to greet him.

"Mr. Qin, Officer Megure is waiting in the room..."

Takagi glanced at the two girls behind Qin Zhibo. One of them was Shiliang, whom he had just met today, and she was Qin Zhibo's disciple.

I don’t know the other one.

"Mr. Qin, who is this?"
