Conan Rick's Investigator

Conan's brain instantly captured the most sensitive words since he was hit on the head with a stick, and then he looked around nervously.

Where's the gin?

But the only people around are the police, the detectives I know, and my childhood sweetheart. Where is Gin?

Conan looked again at the direction that the newly named Rentaro lying on the bed was looking at, and realized that he was looking at Qin Zhibo.

Qin Zhibo...

Qin...

Gin…

Conan: (′ο｀*) What an unlucky name! It scared me!

Inspector Megure, standing at the front, passed by the newly named Rentaro lying on the bed, looked at the bald old man in front of him, and said righteously: "You are the kidnapper!"

As soon as Officer Megure finished speaking, Qin Zhibo stepped forward and explained, "Don't get me wrong, he's just a doctor."

"Doctor?" Officer Megure stopped as he was reaching for the handcuffs. "Brother Qin, how did you know he was a doctor?"

Qin Zhibo: I saw it from his head, do I need to tell you?

Qin Zhibo didn't say that, of course. Instead, he explained, "In fact, this entire incident was planned by Mr. Niname Rentaro."

"Judging from the signatures on the manuscript, the handwriting of the two most recent signatures is exactly the same. It's basically the same signature printed on it."

"This means that Mr. Xinming's hands are no longer able to sign at this time."

"The fact that I couldn't sign it in person means that the text on the manuscript was also transcribed onto the computer through dictation."

"In this case, if there's even a single omission or missing word, the entire code will be completely undecipherable."

"Plus, Mr. Xinming demanded that the publishing house adhere completely to his formatting, without any deletions or alterations. If they were criminals, they would definitely be suspicious of this request."

"So, all this perfection can only be the result of Mr. Xinming's careful planning."

After Qin Zhibo finished his reasoning, the newly named Rentaro, who was sitting on the bed, clapped his hands and praised: "You are worthy of it, Mr. Qin Zhibo."

This action of the newly named Rentaro proves that Qin Zhibo's reasoning is completely correct. This is a farce.

This made Kogoro Mouri who was standing next to him unable to understand.

"In that case, why go to all this trouble?"

Inspector Megure nodded. "That's right. You even called me over. I almost thought..."

Inspector Megure stopped talking abruptly, and he was too embarrassed to say the following sentence, "I almost thought I could solve another big case."

In response, Qin Zhibo spread his hands innocently and said, "I never said to call the police..."

"Did I say call the police?"

"Did I say that?"

Qin Zhibo asked others, and both Shinname Kaori and Mao Lilan shook their heads, indicating no.

"That's strange. Who called the police?"

Inspector Megure looked around angrily, and Kogoro Mouri weakly raised his hand and admitted that he was the one who made the false report.

……

After finding out it was a farce, everyone lowered their guard.

Shinname Kaori ran to Shinname Rentaro's bedside and couldn't help asking, "Dad, why did you suddenly disappear for two months?"

"I've been really anxious lately!"

Reunited with her family again, Shinna Xiang Baoli couldn't help but shed tears of excitement, and the people around her were also happy about this touching scene.

But the new name Rentaro said a piece of news that instantly cooled the happiness and joy on the faces of everyone present.

"Kanori, I was actually diagnosed with cancer six months ago."

"Tonight might be my last night... cough, cough..."

Shinmei Rentaro suddenly started coughing violently, and the doctor next to him hurried forward to treat him, which helped him to cheer up a little.

"I couldn't bear to have you see my life force fading away, so I discussed it with your mother and moved out two months ago."

"sorry that I had you worried."

"child……"

Shinmei Rentaro gently comforted Xiang Houli who was crying on him, his eyes full of love and reluctance.

Xiang Baoli's mother came forward and said, "We tried to call you a few hours ago, but no one answered."

"Fortunately, this Mr. Qin solved the puzzle that Mr. left in the novel in time, which allowed you to catch up."

"Thank you, Mr. Qin."

Mrs. Xinming bowed deeply to Qin Zhibo, and Qin Zhibo nodded slightly in response.

At this time, the newly named Rentaro, who was lying on the bed, looked at Qin Zhibo who was standing beside him, and his gaze met Qin Zhibo's.

Both of them had something to say at this moment, but they were hindered by the fact that there were too many people around.

So, Qin Zhibo stepped forward and greeted him in standard French: "Bonjour, Monsieur l'Administrateur."

(Hello, Mr. Administrator)

Hearing this, the new name Rentaro's eyes widened slightly, with a hint of surprise in his eyes, and then he understood and said: "Bonjour, M.Qin"

(Hello, Mr. Qin)

Next, the two began to talk in French.

This left Inspector Megure, Kogoro Mori and others standing by confused.

"What is Mr. Qin talking to Mr. Xinming?" asked Mao Lilan in confusion.

"It's French." Conan explained, then turned to Mrs. Niname and asked, "Does Mr. Niname know French well?"

Mrs. Xinming nodded and said, "Yes, my husband and I love traveling to France, so his French is pretty good."

Conan nodded in understanding.

Mr. Xinming knows French because of traveling.

But why does Qin Zhibo also speak French?

Conan slapped his forehead and suddenly remembered the first case in which he encountered Qin Zhibo - the Suoyu House case, when Qin Zhibo suddenly pulled out a strange French book from the bookshelf at the murder scene.

It turns out that one of his actions at that time showed that he actually knew French!

A graduate of UMass Miskatonic, so he definitely knows English.

Combined with the Japanese he currently speaks in Japan, this means that Qin Zhibo currently masters at least three languages.

This language talent...

Conan temporarily put aside his admiration for Qin Zhibo's personal abilities and pricked up his ears to listen carefully to what Qin Zhibo and the newly named Rentaro were talking about.

But even though Conan could understand some French words because he often traveled abroad with his parents when he was a child, he was completely unable to cope with spoken French at the moment.

Conan couldn't understand Qin Zhibo and Niname Rentaro's fluent French.

……

Just like that, in the "French Encrypted" conversation, Qin Zhibo and Ren Taro chatted about some things that "cannot be told to outsiders".

"Actually, I added a code to the novel this time as a test. I hope someone can crack my code and come to me so that I can recruit him into the Nine Angels Organization and gradually replace me."

"But it's a pity that the one who was able to crack the code before my death was you, a fellow member of the Nine Angels."

Shinname Rentaro was smiling broadly, showing no fear of death.

"Mr. Xinming, can you tell me what kind of organization the Nine Angels Organization is?"

Qin Zhibo thought about it again and again, and finally asked the long-standing doubt in his mind.

"Okay, I can tell you."

Then, the new name Rentaro suddenly changed the subject.

"But before I tell you, you have to understand that the less you know about the dark corners of the earth, the better it will be for you..."

"Even so, do you still want to know?"

Qin Zhibo nodded in agreement to the new name Rentaro's "disclaimer" without even thinking about it.

There are no two reasons.

Maybe I'm already in it...

Chapter 191 French Encrypted Conversation (Part )

Qin Zhibo answered without any hesitation, which made the eyes of Xinming Rentaro lying on the sickbed move slightly, but then they became gloomy again.

“Money is a stepping stone that can be exchanged for all kinds of knowledge.”

"But unfortunately, some doors that have been opened cannot be closed again..."

With just two simple sentences, Shinmei Rentaro seemed to have clearly explained the process of his entry into the Nine Angels Organization.

"The Nine Angels is a New England charitable organization composed of wealthy and powerful individuals. It was founded around 1874, making it over a hundred years old."

"The original intention of this organization was to strengthen and cultivate all good people. It mainly provided support, introductions, and sponsorships to wealthy families in Massachusetts, New Hampshire, and Maine, and established numerous educational funds and charities."

"The meaning of 'Nine' is derived from the nine founders of the Nine Angels organization. It is said that among these nine were prominent nobles from Britain and France."

The newly named Rentaro finished speaking three standard French sentences in one go, but his breath was a little weak.

After catching his breath again, he continued, "You should have already learned about the current Nine Angels Organization from the website introduction. Their main purpose is to reduce and control the impact of certain 'bad truths' on the public. At least, this is the main purpose of the Nine Angels Organization's activities in Japan."

"Also, you should have noticed that the Nine Angels cooperate with the authorities in Japan, so they can sometimes obtain special intelligence and commissions."

"For example, last month, I gave you the mission to investigate the Tokyo blackout. This mission was issued to you by the Japanese authorities through the Nine Angels, so you were able to obtain information that only the police had."

"Also, I lied to you about this."

"The other party didn't use ordinary power outage methods, but magic, so it's normal that you can't find out the truth."

Shinname Rentaro mentioned that it was a task from last month, but in fact, in Qin Zhibo's concept of time, this matter happened less than a week ago.

Moreover, the words of the newly named Rentaro further confirmed Qin Zhibo's previous speculation that the activities of the Nine Angels Organization in Japan were endorsed by the Japanese officials.

There are many official organizations that have such capabilities, but Qin Zhibo believes that it is more likely that the police organization will hand over the information to the Nine Angels.

As far as Qin Zhibo knows, Japan's police organization is divided into two parts: criminal police and public security police.

The newly named Rentaro, lying on the bed, saw that Qin Zhibo didn't look too surprised after hearing about the existence of magic, and smiled and said, "It seems that you already know some of the 'truth' of this world..."

"However, I still have to remind you that there are more mysterious organizations that know the truth about this world than you can imagine, but not all of them want the world to continue to operate according to a 'normal' order."

"In contrast to righteous organizations like the Nine Angels, there are also evil organizations composed of pagans."

"For example, the assassin-catching mission I once entrusted to you. Actually, whether it was Maya Tachibana or the Silver Fox you 'caught' later, they all came from an evil organization called Bloody Tongue. They..."

Shinmei Rentaro's words stopped abruptly because he once again saw that there was no expression of surprise on Qin Zhibo's face.

"I see... You even know this..."

"Then if you have anything you don't understand, you can ask me."

Entering the free question time, Qin Zhibo thought for a moment and was still concerned about the Black Organization.

"Excuse me, what is this organization called the Black Brotherhood?"

When he heard Qin Zhibo's question, the newly named Rentaro on the bed immediately changed his expression and showed a look of horror.

"I didn't expect you to know this... cough cough..." Niname Rentaro coughed twice, his face a little painful, "Mr. Qin, you really surprised me."

"But I suggest you avoid contact with this organization, because even the Nine Angels know very little about them."

"As far as I know, this organization is made up of a group of extremely dangerous international terrorists."

"Unlike ordinary terrorists, the terrorist activities they carry out are extremely secretive. Sometimes, even after the consequences have occurred, no one can investigate their existence or the purpose behind their actions."

"Of course, the reason for this is that no member of this organization has ever been captured alive, and most of them die shortly after carrying out their operations, leaving no clues to track them down."

"If you already know of their existence, I suggest you stay away from them."
