Conan Rick's Investigator

"See you."

"By the way! I'll meet you in the library warehouse after closing on Tuesday."

"no problem."

After saying goodbye to Tamada Kazuo, Qin Zhibo opened the map in his field of vision, set the target location to the Medieval Art Museum, and then quickly rushed to the destination according to the route marked on it.

The two previous main missions both had a time limit of 1 hour, and Qin Zhibo managed to complete the tasks even after trying his best.

But this time there are only 24 hours, so Qin Zhibo certainly hopes to complete the task quickly so as to get a better rating reward.

As for supernatural events, Qin Zhibo, whose willpower is as high as 90, doesn't care.

However, when Qin Zhibo arrived at the entrance of the Zhongshi Art Museum, he had missed the opening hours and the museum had already closed.

I don’t dare to enter a facility like an art museum without permission, so I can only wait until it opens tomorrow.

It seems that the task time limit given by the system is not given in vain. 24 hours is almost the entire business hours of the art museum tomorrow.

Back at the office, Qin Zhibo turned on his computer and searched for supernatural events at the Zhongshi Art Museum.

However, the wise saying “If you have any questions, ask Baidu” is not very effective in this era. There is no web page on the Internet discussing the topic of supernatural events in the Medieval Art Museum.

The only thing related to the Medieval Art Museum on the Internet is an advertising page for a hotel.

It says that a certain company will build a luxury hotel on the former site of the Medieval Art Museum. The groundbreaking ceremony will be on X/X/X, and the hotel is scheduled to be completed in X/X and officially open in X/X.

Stay tuned!

Qin Zhibo looked at the groundbreaking date and found that there was less than a month left.

Qin Zhibo didn't know what this had to do with the supernatural events at the Medieval Art Museum, but he kept this information in mind for the time being.

……

The next day.

As soon as the Zhongshi Art Museum opened, Qin Zhibo became the first visitor to buy a ticket and enter all day.

"It's really rare. There are already audiences coming as soon as the doors open today."

As soon as Qin Zhibo stepped into the art museum hall, an old man standing in the middle of the hall spoke to him.

The old man had exaggeratedly thick white eyebrows and a white beard, and looked a bit like a Schnauzer.

Next to the old man's head, Qin Zhibo saw the following words floating.

……

Name: Ochiai Juquan

Sex: Male

Age: 67

Occupation: Art museum director

Social Credit: 4500

……

Although he saw these words, Qin Zhibo pretended not to know and asked, "You are..."

"Ah, I'm the director of this art museum, my last name is Ochiai."

“For decades, I have been running this museum and personally introducing the various exhibition halls to the first visitor every day.”

"I hope you won't refuse."

Qin Zhibo nodded. He came here to investigate supernatural events, and it would be more convenient to inquire about the situation with the curator by his side.

So, under the guidance of Director Ochiai, Qin Zhibo visited the three exhibition halls in turn: Room of the Earth, Room of the Sky, and Room of the Sea.

To be honest, Qin Zhibo is not interested in these works of art.

Moreover, in Qin Zhibo's opinion, the level of this art museum is really not high.

Although it is an art museum with the theme of the Middle Ages, the artworks displayed in the exhibition halls are not necessarily all related to the Middle Ages, and many of them are just for show.

And the earth, the sky, the ocean...

Why is the theme of the last exhibition hall hell?

Shouldn't it be a forest?

Standing at the door of the Hell Exhibition Hall, Qin Zhibo, who had been patiently listening to Director Ochiai's explanation of various works of art, finally couldn't help it and asked what he wanted to know most.

"Director Ochiai, I've heard that there have been some strange incidents happening in your museum lately, like armor moving on its own..."

"is this real?"

After hearing Qin Zhibo's question, Director Ochiai was stunned at first, and then suddenly burst into laughter.

"Haha, you don't believe that's true, do you?"

"But thanks to those rumors, there have indeed been a lot more visitors to the art museum recently."

Qin Zhibo felt that his IQ was being mocked.

At this moment, an employee named Kubota walked up to Director Ochiai and said, "Director, Mr. Manaka is here."

"Oh...oh...I see."

Director Ochiai nodded, then turned to Qin Zhibo and said, "Sir, I have something to do, so I'm sorry I won't stay with you in this last exhibition hall."

"That's all right. Please do as you please."

Director Ochiai followed Kubota out of the corridor leading to hell, leaving Qin Zhibo alone to walk into the exhibition hall.

Pushing the door open, the entire exhibition hall is particularly dim, with dots of light dotted on each piece of dark soul-style artwork.

Armor, armor, armor...

Various kinds of armor are displayed here. These armors are in the form of humans holding swords and broad axes and standing on both sides of the passage, giving people a strong sense of oppression.

Combined with the bright red carpet, it gives people the illusion of walking in a blood pool hell.

Even Qin Zhibo's will was shaken by this scene.

90, 89, 90...

"really not bad."

"As a haunted house, it's quite interesting."

Qin Zhibo nodded and admired the innovation of this hellish exhibition hall.

At the end of the passage, Qin Zhibo saw the treasure of the Hell Hall, a painting called "Heavenly Punishment".

The painting was not created by a famous painter, and the scene depicted on it is rather bloody and bizarre.

An armored knight is walking with his back to the lower left corner of the painting, while the upper right corner is almost blurry under the dim lighting conditions and cannot be seen clearly at all.

Out of curiosity, Qin Zhibo looked around and saw that there was no one around, so he quietly took out his nuclear lighter and lit it in a safe area.

Kada...

Under the flickering flames, a "demon" appeared with its body pierced by a knight's sword.

The demon's appearance is very strange and blasphemous.

It looks like a monkey or an insect, with skin hanging down in pieces.

There was no expression on that wrinkled head, but there were a pair of sunken, degenerate eyes, and on its two front limbs were huge, open claws.

What was even stranger was that not a single drop of blood flowed from the chest of this "demon" which was pierced by the knight's sword.

But looking at the knight, the blood splattered on his bright silver armor.

This painting, seemingly a picture of justice raining down divine punishment on evil, may actually contain some shocking malice...

……

After walking out of the hell exhibition hall, you will return to the central hall of the art museum.

The dim environment suddenly changed to a bright place, and Qin Zhibo rubbed his eyes, which were a little uncomfortable.

When his vision became clear, Qin Zhibo saw several familiar figures at the main entrance.

Conan, who had just passed through the main entrance ticket gate, also saw Qin Zhibo standing in the hall.

amount……

Why is it him again?

Chapter 17: The Two Heroes of the Mori Clan

Although Conan's head is originally a bit big due to his extraordinary intelligence, now Conan's head is really twice as big.

It was bad enough that he was "forced" to come to the art museum by Xiaolan, but he ended up meeting the person he least wanted to meet.

Looking at Qin Zhibo standing in the museum hall, it was impossible for Conan to avoid him or pretend not to exist, because Mao Li Ran had already stepped forward to greet Qin Zhibo.

"Mr. Qin, what a coincidence! Are you also here to see the exhibition at the art museum?"

"Well, it is."

Although Qin Zhibo was responding to what Mouri Ran said, his eyes were actually looking at Conan who was hiding behind Mouri Ran.

Above Conan's head, the words [Name: Edogawa Conan] are still hanging.

"Long time no see, Conan."

Conan rolled his eyes secretly and thought to himself: It’s only been three days since we last met.

"Come, let uncle touch your head."

Qin Zhibo was not polite at all and directly extended his claws towards Conan.

Although Conan tried his best to resist, he still couldn't escape Qin Zhibo's head-patting move.

By touching Conan's body, Conan's personal information appeared again.

……

Name: Kudo Shinichi

……

Sure enough, this is not a system bug.

Although I don't know why, the high school detective Kudo Shinichi and the elementary school student Edogawa Conan in front of him are indeed the same person.

But why is this?

Qin Zhibo has a little habit, that is, when he is thinking, his hands will unconsciously play with the things in his hands.

Now Conan's head is in Qin Zhibo's hands, so...

In order to avoid arousing Qin Zhibo's suspicion, Conan kept his composure until his unshakable hairstyle was messed up by Qin Zhibo, and Conan finally got angry.

“Is this ever going to end?”

Conan's roar not only gave Qin Zhibo a start, but also made other passers-by in the art museum hall turn their eyes here.

Realizing that he had spoken out of turn, Conan quickly ran to Kogoro Mouri's body and used his father-in-law Tarzan's majestic body as a shield.

During the three days that Qin Zhibo was immersed in learning French, Dr. Agasa had already invented science props for Conan, including a bow tie voice changer, a watch-shaped anesthetic gun, foot-strengthening shoes, and prisoner tracking glasses.

After several cases, Conan has become accustomed to being the man who hides behind Kogoro Mouri.

And because of Qin Zhibo's interception in the last kidnapping incident, Kogoro Mouri's agreed commission fee with the rich man was reduced by half, and he was not in a very good mood towards Qin Zhibo.

At this time, the father-in-law and son-in-law were united in their hatred of the enemy, making Xiaolan feel a little embarrassed for being caught in the middle.

However, in Qin Zhibo's eyes, Maori Kogoro had changed a little since he first met him three days ago.

Kogoro Mouri's social credit has increased from 1100 when they last met to 1400, which is the same as his current social credit.

This made Qin Zhibo interested in investigating Maori Kogoro.

"We were in such a hurry to say goodbye last time that I forgot to formally introduce myself."

"My name is Qin Zhibo, and I have a detective agency at 37 San-chome in Beika City."
