Conan Rick's Investigator

"It's okay, I'll just talk to Koizumi Hongzi."

Qin Zhibo waved his hand, meaning it was just a small matter.

However, Kuroba Kaito did not find it difficult to convince Koizumi Akako, but it was very difficult to convince Nakamori Aoko.

"Aoko is really looking forward to that performance..."

Kuroba Kaito wanted to complain, but Qin Zhibo had already said his final goodbyes and left the Blue Parrot Bar.

……

When I got back to the office, it was already very late.

Qin Zhibo first called Xinming Xiang Baoli, and after confirming that the other party was still awake, the two began to communicate on the Nine Angels website.

Because the investigation process was too complicated, Qin Zhibo directly told the results of the investigation into Harui Fuchu's death to Shinname Kaori.

Natsumi Kosaka, a 27-year-old woman with long chestnut hair, is the granddaughter of Harui Fuden who approached her before Harui Fuden's official performance and then suddenly disappeared.

Qin Zhibo did not tell Shinname Kaori anything beyond the normal scope of investigation, such as the results of investigation using system props or investigation functions.

After a period of silence, Shinna Xiang Baoli responded with a few words.

[Administrator: Mr. Harui has been carrying out a mission from headquarters to investigate a secret organization, and not long ago, Mr. Harui made great progress.]

[Administrator: Mr. Harui was most likely killed by this organization for this very reason]

【Qin: Can you tell me the name of that organization? 】

The computer screen was quiet for a while before a line of words appeared.

[Administrator: Beast Brotherhood]

Sure enough...

As Qin Zhibo guessed, it was impossible for the Beast Brotherhood to assassinate Chunjing Fengchuan for no reason. After all, Chunjing Fengchuan was not a thief who stole gems.

[Administrator: By the way, your identity wasn't revealed when you were tracking them down, right?]

Qin: Probably not.

[Admin: That's good... Before tomorrow evening, I will transfer the commission for this mission, totaling 100 million, to your account.]

Qin: Thank you.

[Administrator: You’re welcome, this is what you deserve]

After ending the call, Qin Zhibo lay in his boss chair and fell into deep thought.

Strictly speaking, the task of this investigation was not easy, but the gains were greater than expected.

From the intelligence he obtained, Qin Zhibo learned about two mysterious organizations - the Beast Brotherhood and the Bloating Women's Society.

These mysterious organizations are extremely dangerous, and the death of Harui Fuchu just proves that Qin Zhibo's initial strategy was correct.

That is, we must not let these mysterious organizations find out that we are investigating them, otherwise they will be assassinated.

In fact, not only the Beast Brotherhood and the Bloatwife Brotherhood discovered this time, but also the Black Brotherhood seen before, are equally extremely dangerous.

So far, the pagan organizations that Qin Zhibo has directly encountered include the Corpse Eaters, the Bloody Tongue, the Black Brotherhood, the Bloated Woman Society, and the Beast Brotherhood.

If we add in what we've only heard, there's also the yellow monk who recruited Keiji Aso to sell drugs, and the voodoo cult that possesses voodoo spells...

Qin Zhibo: There are a little over a billion pagans in this world...

……

USA, Las Vegas.

In the bright midday sun, a stylishly dressed woman with short hair sat at a wooden round table at the entrance of a coffee shop, fiddling with a laptop on the table with her slender and dexterous hands.

[Administrator: The investigator investigating the Beast Brotherhood has been confirmed to have been assassinated in retaliation by the other party. The investigation may be suspended for a period of time. Please understand.]

Looking at the freshly printed line of words on the computer screen, the short-haired woman closed the computer, leaned back in her chair with a heavy expression, and remained silent for a long time.

After a while, she turned on the computer again.

The moment the video call was connected, the short-haired woman immediately regained her former vitality, as if nothing had happened.

"Kaito! I heard everything Aoko said..."

"You're going on a date with her, right?"

Chapter 241: Mother and Son in Jail

"Um...well..."

On the other side of the video call, Kuroba Kaito looked a little embarrassed, stammering and unable to speak.

This made Hei Yu Qianying furious, and she immediately lectured him, "Kaito! A man pursuing a woman must be bold and daring, and he must be both courageous and careful!"

"Thinking back to when your father was pursuing me, it was really..."

"Stop!"

Realizing that his mother was about to talk about her romantic history with his father again, Kuroba Kaito, who had already eaten his fill of dog food, immediately called a halt.

"I'm tired of hearing stories about you and Dad!"

"Also! Who said I liked that guy Aoko?"

"There's no chance between me and that guy!"

Kuroba Kaito refused with a slightly red face. He said he didn't want it, but the expression on his face betrayed him deeply.

Looking at Kuroba Kaito like this, Kuroba Chikage's mouth corners slightly raised.

Kaito, you still have a lot to learn compared to your father—

Especially that poker face...

After finishing his defense, Kuroba Kaito folded his arms and said nonchalantly, "By the way, my date with Aoko has been cancelled."

"Ah?" Hei Yu Qianying was a little surprised, "Why was it cancelled?"

"Because there's a guy who wants to cut in and replace Aoko's place." Kuroba Kaito said truthfully.

"Man or woman?"

"Of course it's a man!"

The perceptive Kuroba Chie shrank her shoulders and asked suspiciously, "Kaito, you're not..."

As she spoke, Hei Yu Qianying turned her palm sideways towards the computer camera, and then her straight palm gradually bent.

Bent...

"I'm not gay!" Kuroba Kaito quickly retorted loudly.

"That man knew Koizumi Hongzi, and it was Koizumi Hongzi who provided the tickets for the illusionist's performance. It's only natural that Aoko was kicked out!"

Koizumi Akako...

Kuroba Chikage had heard the name of this child from Terai Konosuke. She was a witch who specialized in fighting against magicians.

Originally, Kuroba Chikage had commissioned Novem Angelus to investigate the background of this witch lady, but the investigation did not yield any results.

But it doesn't matter, because Kuroba Chikage heard that since their first fight, Koizumi Hongzi never bothered Kaito again.

It seems that she was "conquered" by her son.

In terms of charm, Kaito is very similar to Toichi...

"By the way, who is that man? Why does he know Koizumi Hongzi? And why did he go with you to see the illusionist's performance?"

Kuroba Chikage's questions were like a string of cannonballs, making Kuroba Kaito a little overwhelmed.

"Mom, do you have so many questions?"

"We are mother and son. Even though we are abroad, of course I still need to care about you!"

Kuroba Kaito rolled his eyes at Kuroba Chikage. Since he cared about his son, why did he travel abroad for such a long time?

Come back once in a while and fulfill your duties as a mother...

Although he thought so in his heart, Kuroba Kaito still told Kuroba Chikage everything about how he and Qin Zhibo met.

From the first encounter during the Dark Star incident to the Memory Egg incident that just ended.

After hearing this, Kuroba Chikage on the other side of the computer looked solemn. He held his chin in thought for a few seconds, then said calmly, "Kaito, since this person has already recognized your true identity and even has evidence, why didn't you tell the police?"

"He said he's not interested in me..." Kuroba Kaito remembered what Qin Zhibo said in the cafe.

"So he was suddenly interested in you again this time, talked to you about so many things, and you told him the information you knew?" Heiyu Qianying asked suspiciously.

Kuroba Kaito scratched his head. "Uh... maybe this person's curiosity is just so capricious?"

In this regard, Hei Yu Qianying still holds a negative attitude.

"If this person is from that organization, wouldn't you be in danger?"

Kuroba Kaito was shocked, but then he smiled and shook his head, "That's impossible! If he was from that organization, wouldn't he have gotten rid of me long ago?"

"After all, I am the biggest obstacle to that organization..."

"Kaito!" Before Kuroba Kaito could finish his words, Kuroba Chikage tapped his fingertips and scolded, "Too young, too simple!"

"Maybe he wants to infiltrate our ranks and capture us all..."

"And even if he's not from that organization, he could be an information dealer with a wavering stance."

"As long as you pay him, he might sell your information to anyone!"

After hearing what Kuroba Chikage said, Kuroba Kaito felt a little scared, "No way..."

"Why isn't it possible?"

Hei Yu Qianying continued, "Since he is as righteous as you say, he should have sent you to the police station as soon as he got the evidence. There's no need to let you go unpunished for so long."

"Perhaps he has his own standards for justice?"

"Then we must be even more cautious around people like this!" Hei Yu Qianying raised a finger, like a teacher explaining the principles of life. "To be frank, these people are the most unprincipled."

"Because no one knows what his principles are, the right to interpret his principles lies in his own hands."

"Like a capricious clown..."

Kuroba Kaito grinned, feeling that Qin Zhibo seemed to be an outlaw in Kuroba Qianying's heart.

Although it seems that if I am imprisoned for the rest of my life, I am the real lawless criminal...

Moreover, my father believed that the clown on the stage was the greatest hero in the entire circus, because success or failure was part of the clown's performance.

"So what should I do? I've already told him what I know, and he also knows about me and Father Terai."

Hei Yu Qianying thought for a moment and said calmly, "Don't act rashly for now. Pay close attention to and observe his actions. If you find any suspicious behavior on his part, report it to me immediately."

"Aren't you guys going to see the illusionist's performance this weekend? This is a great opportunity to observe him..."

"Speaking of performances, it's truly enviable to be able to watch the performance of Günter von Goldberg II, the world's top illusionist!"

"His show is super popular here in the United States, and tickets are hard to come by..."

Kuroba Kaito was a little impatient after being shown off by Kuroba Chikage's jumping thinking.

"Okay! I'm going to bed."

"that's all……"

The computer's video connection was suddenly interrupted, and Hei Yu Qianying's expression became calm again as he returned to the website he had not yet exited.

[Hei: Can you help me research a detective in Tokyo, Japan? His name is Qin Zhibo. He should have a detective agency in Mihua Town.]

After entering the information, the other party will reply quickly.

[Administrator: This person is somewhat reliable]

Chapter 242 Another Young Master...

Is this person somewhat reliable?
