Conan Rick's Investigator

"correct!"

"One morning, just before my parents disappeared, my father gave me a letter and told me to put it in the mailbox at the door of a detective agency on my way to work."

"That detective agency is also nearby. I think it's called..."

"Tomohiro Detective Agency?"

Chapter 187 When Death Knocks at the Door

Zhibo Detective Agency.

Qin Zhibo was watching TV while eating a pork chop rice bento.

As expected, the evening news on TV reported the two bombings that occurred in Tokyo's Beika Town today.

"The perpetrator of the bombing at the Rice Flower Hotel has been arrested, and the police are currently investigating..."

Regarding the handling results, Qin Zhibo noticed that the host only said that the murderer of the Rice Flower Hotel bombing case was arrested, and did not mention the handling results of the cocktail bar bombing case.

This shows that the Japanese police should still have a basic judgment and did not easily conclude that the bomb in the cocktail bar was also planted by Takeshita.

But even so, Qin Zhibo did not intend to "tip" the police about the truth about the cocktail bar explosion.

The reason is simple: it is unsafe.

In addition, Qin Zhibo figured out Guangtian Xingsheng's transaction target through this tracking operation and case reasoning.

The things in Nakajima Hideaki's suitcase should be what he wanted to trade with Hirota Yukio.

puter programmer list——a list of computer programmers.

According to the subsequent communication between Qin Zhibo and Yokomizo No. 2, this list of world-famous computer programmers records the basic information and contact information of a large number of world-class elite IT men.

Among them are normal computer programmers, hackers, and white hackers...

Computer programmers can be hired to design normal software, hackers can be hired to be network security employees, and hackers can be hired to attack other companies' networks, causing their networks to be paralyzed and unable to operate normally.

It can be said that this list is actually an important key to advancing to a world-class computer company.

As a "man of the future" in a sense, Qin Zhibo is well aware of the importance of computers and the Internet in the future.

It is no exaggeration to say that the computer Internet has changed the world.

At the Yindou Hotel, Qin Zhibo discovered that the Black Organization member, Uozuka Saburo, was looking for something in the room of the dead computer hacker.

Judging from the business card left on the tea table, this hacker must have had dealings with the black organization before.

This time, another member of the Black Organization, Hirota Yukisei, wants to obtain the list of computer programmers through trading.

It is already very obvious that the black organization's development goal is electronic computers.

Starting from the 20s and s, the third industrial revolution broke out, with the invention and application of electronic computers, bioengineering, space technology, and atomic energy-related technologies becoming its main features.

The Black Organization, whose members are mostly big and strong rough men and dress like a black gang, can actually accurately capture the future top red ocean, the unparalleled electronic computer field.

This shows that this organization is far more rigorous than Qin Zhibo had initially imagined.

Although his subordinates are doing illegal, dirty and rough work, there must be an expert behind them guiding them to be able to predict the future so accurately.

How do you say that?

Hooligans are not terrible, just because they are educated.

If the Black Organization continues to develop in this barbaric way, even at the cost of breaking the law, its future will be limitless.

Although the Suzuki Group is now in its heyday, Qin Zhibo had done some research on Suzuki Sonoko when he was looking for information about her online.

The Suzuki Group's main business direction is the real economy, mainly the hotel industry, tourism industry, and real estate. Other industries are mainly investments, not direct operations.

This reminded Qin Zhibo of a certain Wan surname group.

Although the Suzuki Group is an oligopoly group in Japan with certain monopoly characteristics and is absolutely deep-rooted, its future development prospects are still not as good as the electronic Internet field chosen by the Black Organization.

Especially since 2020...

In fact, not only the electronic Internet field, but also the future development prospects of the biotechnology field are very promising.

Also starting from 2020...

Now Qin Zhibo is curious about whether the Black Organization has a company?

Is the company listed?

What will be the stock code after listing?

Is it too late to invest now?

Just when Qin Zhibo was thinking about Peach, there was a sudden knock on the door.

Dong Dong Dong——

Qin Zhibo looked up at the clock and it was already 9:00 in the evening.

After watching the evening news at 7:00, it’s already 9:00 pm…

Where has the damn time gone?

Qin Zhibo opened the door without thinking too much and threw the empty pork chop rice box into the trash can.

When the door opened, Qin Zhibo was shocked.

The people knocking on the door turned out to be the Maori family.

Dangerous!

For some reason, Qin Zhibo's scalp tightened and he had a bad feeling in his heart.

Thinking of the law that wherever the Maori family goes, people die there, Qin Zhibo knows why.

I'm reacting to danger.

Besides, I'm the only one in my office. If a murder happens, I don't even have to choose who will be the deceased...

Fortunately, the only people coming are the Maori family, and they should not do anything bad to him.

Qin Zhibo can only comfort himself in this way now.

"What are you doing here?"

Qin Zhibo's tone was a little alert, and at the same time, his other hand was on the door handle without moving away, ready to close the door and send the guests away at any time.

Kogoro Mouri's face was a little stiff. After all, he had finally gotten a commission from an unmarried, beautiful woman of marriageable age, and he actually had to share the commission with his colleagues.

This is so frustrating!

However, Maori Kogoro still moved his body to let Shinname Kaori out from behind him and asked, "Excuse me, do you know this lady?"

Another person!

Dangerous!

A bigger "danger" word appeared on Qin Zhibo's forehead, but Qin Zhibo did not dare to directly deny that he had never seen this beautiful woman named Niina Xiang Baoli.

After all, this woman might be someone the original owner knew before.

Long straight chestnut hair, a beautiful professional suit, and a delicate face that looked like it had just been wet with tears...

Qin Zhibo confirmed that he really didn't know this beauty, but for some reason, he had an inexplicable impression that a woman dressed like this had heard of her from someone.

Unable to confirm whether he had met her before, Qin Zhibo chose to take the initiative and asked, "What do you want to do here?"

Maori Kogoro introduced: "Actually, this lady's father has been missing for some time. Before he disappeared, her father asked you to come to your detective agency to deliver a letter..."

As Maori Kogoro said this, Shinna Kaori couldn't help but step forward and said, "When I came, you didn't seem to be in the office, so I put my father's letter in the mailbox."

"Please tell me! Where is my father?"

Shinname Kaori's words gradually became tearful, but this description also stimulated Qin Zhibo to think of a key piece of information.

The owner of the women's clothing store downstairs described the messenger from the Nine Angels Organization!

Chapter 188 Even giants get tired...

Qin Zhibo invited everyone into the office.

Although it was only a block away, this was the first time the Maori family had entered Qin Zhibo's detective agency.

Standing in the office, Conan looked around curiously at the layout of the Zhibo Detective Agency.

Overall it is very simple, even a bit concise.

There are no comfortable sofas, long coffee tables or water dispensers in the office, but there is a chair facing the boss's chair at the desk.

Coupled with a personal computer on the desk, the atmosphere of this detective agency is less like a business place and more like an office in a public system.

Qin Zhibo invited Xin Ming Xiang Baoli to the only chair for guests and smiled politely: "Please describe the specific circumstances of your father's disappearance."

"Okay, my father is..."

With the narration of Shinname Kaori, Qin Zhibo gradually understood everything.

The beautiful woman in front of me is the daughter of the mystery novelist Shinmei Rentaro. Her parents disappeared two months ago, so...

"Wait a minute, are you saying that two months before your father disappeared, your father sent you to deliver a letter to me?"

"Yes." Shinna Kaori nodded.

"Is there no signature on that letter?" Qin Zhibo asked again.

"Yes." Shinna Kaori nodded again, "My father said that I only need to give you this letter. I don't need to tell you who wrote it to you. You will understand it naturally."

"But you were not in the office at the time, so I put the letter in the mailbox."

Qin Zhibo thought about it and remembered that after he solved the case of the bandaged monster, he did receive an unsigned letter in his mailbox when he came back.

And from the description of the owner of the women's clothing store, the person who delivered the letter was very similar to the Shinname Hōri in front of him.

But that happened a week ago!

Shinna Kaori's father, Shinna Rentaro, disappeared two months ago, and he sent this letter to his daughter two months ago.

This timeline doesn't fit in anyway...

However, given his extremely confused sense of time, Qin Zhibo didn't dare to say it outright.

If only the owner of the women's clothing store were here now, she could come up and identify whether the woman who delivered the letter was Shinna Xiang Baoli.

Unfortunately, the women's clothing store has closed down a long time ago and the owner is not here anymore.

"To be honest, the letter your father sent me has nothing to do with your father's disappearance, so I don't know where your father is now."

"But since Mr. Xinming regularly sends manuscripts to the publishing house, let's go to the publishing house first."

"If I remember correctly, today is Saturday..."

Qin Zhibo said this, recalling the content displayed in the subtitles in the lower right corner of this morning's news.

……

Qin Zhibo, the Maori family, and Xin Mingxiang Baoli came to the publishing house.

The fat editor-in-chief received everyone and insisted that the manuscripts sent to them on time every week were indeed written by the newly named Rentaro.

“Although they were all written on a typewriter, the font and grammar were exactly the same as what the teacher used in the past.”

"The same goes for the teacher's autograph next to each chapter title."

"If you don't believe me, I can show you the original manuscript."

The editor left for a while and brought back the manuscript.

When the manuscript was still in the editor's hands, Qin Zhibo saw the light white light emanating from it.

That is the light belonging to the investigation point!

……

On Kogoro Mouri's side, after confirming with Shinna Kaori that the handwriting of the signature was indeed that of his father, he began to ask the editor if there was anything else unusual.

"Hmm..." The editor raised his chin and said, "If there's anything unusual, it's probably the re-serialization of the Detective Samonji series."
