Conan Rick's Investigator

"What photos?" asked Inspector Megure.

"The magazine was planning a story about 'The Unexpected Side of Models,' so I asked Professor Hirota to send me the photo of me dressed as a woman at the university anniversary ceremony."

"But I didn't expect the photo the teacher sent me was of my face before the plastic surgery..."

"So, I went back to the teacher's house and asked him to lend me the original photo, but the teacher said..."

"If you're asking about that crossdressing photo of you, I can't find it on the disk anymore. But the photo I sent you can be found right away. Do you want me to send it to the magazine?"

"When I heard that, my emotions immediately spiraled out of control, and by the time I came to my senses, it was already..."

After Bai Cangyang explained his motives, Qin Zhibo was a little confused.

The murderer turned out to be me!

If I hadn't come to ask for the Latin learning disk, Professor Hirota wouldn't have given me the disk with the photo of a woman dressed as a man because of a mix-up.

If Professor Hirota could have found the disk containing the photo of a man dressed as a woman and given it to his student, then everything would have been...

amount……

Professor Hirota, rest in peace!

Qin Zhibo observed a few seconds of silence for Professor Guangtian in his heart.

Taking advantage of this gap, Dr. Agasa, at Conan's signal, took the initiative to find Inspector Megure and asked, "Um... I came here to retrieve the disk, can you please give it to me now?"

Inspired by Dr. Agasa, Qin Zhibo also walked up to Inspector Megure and said that he was also there to pick up the disk.

"How can this be possible?" Inspector Megure looked embarrassed. "All evidence must be taken back to the police station for investigation."

"When will the investigation be completed?" Qin Zhibo asked.

Seeing Brother Qin working so hard to solve the case, Inspector Megure relaxed and replied, "It will be next week at the earliest."

"Then when you can get the disk back next week, please notify me and Dr. Agasa to go to the police station to pick it up."

"Uh, oh, sure..."

Inspector Megure, who was often taught how to do things, did not reject Qin Zhibo's proposal and nodded hesitantly.

Chapter 202 Disgusting Hawaiian Postcard

On the way home, Qin Zhibo checked his current general skill proficiency.

Adding the 580 proficiency gained from the case just now, it is exactly 10600.

During this period, Qin Zhibo has been accumulating his proficiency and not spending it, with the purpose of exchanging it for the most exciting "big prize" among this week's mall props - the magic ring.

Originally, Qin Zhibo thought that this week would pass quickly and he would not be able to get the magic ring worth 20000 proficiency points.

But for some reason, this week was extremely long, which gave me the opportunity to reach 20000 proficiency.

That's the magic ring that can make you invisible!

Who wouldn’t want to have such ability?

Qin Zhibo is no exception.

However, there is still a long way to go before reaching 20000 proficiency, which makes Qin Zhibo eagerly looking forward to the arrival of the main task.

In addition to his proficiency, Qin Zhibo's social credit also rose to 3400.

After observing for a period of time, Qin Zhibo found that social credit will not only increase after completing tasks.

For example, the last time I saved the female star Akiko Kinoshita, my social credit increased by almost 200 without any mission rewards.

It’s just that the improvement in social credit brought about by the case will be more direct.

……

the next day.

Qin Zhibo got up, brushed his teeth and washed his face as usual, and greeted the new day with full energy.

Without a second Latin learning disk, Qin Zhibo had to suspend his Latin studies and return to normal business.

At around nine o'clock, there was a knock on the door of Zhibo Detective Agency.

"Please come in."

Just when Qin Zhibo thought it was a commission coming to his door, a delivery boy in a green uniform came in.

"Mr. Qin Zhibo, there is a delivery for you, please sign for it."

The delivery guy put a thin package on the desk and handed the receipt to Qin Zhibo for signature.

Looking at the express delivery, Qin Zhibo was a little scared at first. After all, he had imagined in his mind the situation where a bomb was mailed by criminals.

However, judging from the extremely thin state of the package, it is unlikely to contain a bomb.

"Excuse me, where did this package come from?"

The delivery guy picked up the delivery slip in his hand and said thoughtfully, "It's an international delivery, sent from... Honolulu, Hawaii, USA..."

Qin Zhibo felt a little relieved when he heard that it was sent from Hawaii.

The original owner was a Hawaiian, so he should have family in Hawaii.

This thin package most likely contains a letter.

Although he didn't know why someone would have to write a letter from thousands of miles away in this era of network communication, Qin Zhibo still signed for the package.

After sending the courier away, Qin Zhibo opened the package and took out the expected envelope.

If it is Qin Zhibo's family in Hawaii, then it should be the family of "Vince Qin".

What kind of people are the family of "Vince Qin"?

At Vince Chin's age of 37, could he already have a wife and children in his hometown of Hawaii?

Qin Zhibo opened the envelope with curiosity, but what was inside disappointed him.

There was no letter paper in the envelope, but a stack of unopened postcards.

Qin Zhibo, who didn't believe it, tore open the package and pulled out the postcards inside. There were ten postcards in total. There was no text on any of the ten postcards. They were completely brand new.

Qin Zhibo: "Hmm?"

Someone actually sent me a brand new, unopened postcard from Hawaii?

What is this operation?

According to the general usage of postcards, people living abroad should buy local postcards, write blessings on the postcards, and send them back to their family or friends in their hometown.

But why was this postcard sent from my hometown in Hawaii, and it’s brand new?

Qin Zhibo unfolded the ten postcards on the table and finally found some clues.

That is, without exception, these postcards all capture the local ocean scenes in Hawaii.

The sea of Hawaii is the Pacific Ocean...

Pacific Ocean……

Seeing this, Qin Zhibo suddenly felt a nauseous feeling rising from his stomach.

This feeling is exactly the same as the last time I saw the sea in Yindou, but the discomfort is not as strong as seeing the real sea, it is only slight.

Qin Zhibo quickly put the postcard away, and the discomfort in his stomach immediately eased.

As for how to deal with these postcards, Qin Zhibo remembered that the third drawer of his desk was specially for postcards, so he decided to put these postcards into the drawer as well.

But after opening the drawer, Qin Zhibo discovered another thing.

The hundreds of postcards in the drawer, without exception, are all pictures of the sea!

Qin Zhibo took the thick stack of postcards in his hand and checked them one by one, and confirmed that the postcards in the drawer before were the same as the postcards sent today.

There is no text on it, and all the photos are of the local ocean in Hawaii.

This means that the hundreds of postcards before were also sent from Hawaii.

But why?

Why send blank postcards from Hawaii, and why choose only postcards with the ocean as the background?

Was it sent here intentionally to disgust people?

If so, who sent it?

Qin Zhibo didn't understand what he meant, so he could only put all the postcards back into the third drawer.

Just then, Qin Zhibo's cell phone rang.

"Hey?"

"Mr. Qin, there is a mission."

The voice on the other end of the line was that of Shinna Kaori.

Ever since Shinna Kaori took over Shinna Rentaro's role as the administrator of the Nine Angels, the two have exchanged phone numbers.

This way, if there is a task, you can directly notify me by phone, which is more convenient.

However, for specific communication, it is still necessary to go to the Nine Angels website to transmit and receive information.

【Qin: What mission?】

[Administrator: This is an investigative mission. The content is to investigate the cause of death of the Nine Angels B-level agent, Harui Fuden.]

Qin Zhibo immediately opened a new webpage and searched for Chunjing Fengchuan in the search bar.

Because according to the conventions of the Nine Angels Organization, the requirements for agents above level B are not only to have outstanding ability to complete tasks, but more importantly, to have a certain influence in society.

This is what is commonly known as high social credit.

In that case, I should be able to search the name of this "Spring Well Feng Chuan" on the Internet.

Sure enough, Qin Zhibo easily found the relevant information on the web page.

Harui Fuden, an old magician known as the King of Escape in Japan.

According to information on the Internet, he is already 70 years old, but announced last month that he would challenge the safe underwater escape magic trick.

Eventually, due to exhaustion, he had an accident while escaping and drowned.

【Qin: Isn’t this an accident?】

[Administrator: Based on the intelligence the organization has currently gathered, the possibility of an accident is relatively small. Mr. Harui was most likely assassinated.]

Chapter 203 Ke Chi Arrives

Afterwards, information about Harui Fuden was passed on to Niina Kaori.

First, there's information about Harui Fuchuan's safe underwater escape magic trick.

The magic show involves Harui Fuden himself being handcuffed and put into a safe, which is then thrown into the water.

The magician must escape from the safe within the specified time and swim out from the bottom of the water.

Harui Fuden had successfully performed this magic trick thirty years ago, which caused a sensation throughout Japan and earned him the nickname "Japan's Escape King."

Therefore, this magic trick itself has a very mature performance system. When performing it again today, the only unstable factor is physical strength.

As for the principle of the magic, the safe is actually a specially made magic prop.

There is a keyhole inside the safe. By inserting a special key, the safe can be easily opened from the inside.

So the key to this magic show is to unlock the handcuffs, then take out the special key to unlock the safe, and then swim to the surface to give the audience a surprise.

According to the safe design drawings transmitted by Shin-na Xiang Baoli, the key to crack the safe from the inside is designed to look like a watch.

This prop is designed very precisely. As long as the crown is pulled out, a key less than 30mm long hidden inside can help the magician escape.

[Administrator: When Mr. Harui died, his handcuffs were unlocked, but the special key in his watch was unable to open the safe.]

Qin: Didn't he perform this magic trick thirty years ago? Why was the special key able to open the safe back then?

[Admin: That's the problem. Just as Mr. Harui announced he was going to perform this escape trick again, his house was suddenly burglarized, and the specially made watch was among the items stolen.]
