Conan Rick's Investigator

What does it mean?

Hei Yu Qianying frowned slightly and looked at the time from when he asked the question to when he received a reply. It was no more than twenty minutes.

The investigation was completed in twenty minutes. This speed...

Is it...

[Black: Excuse me, is this person also from your organization?]

[Administrator: Your problem is beyond the scope of our cooperation. Please complete the task we have entrusted to you first.]

Kuroba Chikage showed a helpless expression and continued typing on the computer.

Black: I've already found out they've hidden it in the vault of the largest casino in Las Vegas. Security is tight, so it'll take me some time to steal it.

[Admin: That's why we invited professionals like you. I believe this won't be a problem for the former Phantom Thief Lady.]

[Black: Correction, I've already retired.]

[Admin: Yes, that’s why “was” was added.]

Hei Yu Qianying smiled slightly and closed the computer.

It was not a coincidence that I left Japan and traveled around the world. It was because I suddenly received an invitation from a mysterious organization half a year ago.

The other party not only knew that she was the once famous Kaito Lady, but also knew that her late husband Kuroba Toichi was Kaito Kid.

The group gave a mysterious website for contact and claimed it was not a threat but a collaboration.

Novem Angelus promised that if she helped him do something, he would fulfill some of her wishes, such as money, knowledge, etc.

What Hei Yu Qianying wants to get is naturally the truth about Hei Yu Daoyi's death.

So the two sides started to cooperate.

To this end, Kuroba Chikage traveled to Yorkshire, England, Chicago, Arkham, Vancouver, Canada, Equatorial Guinea, San Francisco...

Finally arrived in Las Vegas, USA.

Almost half a year of traveling around the world just to track down a treasure.

A gemstone called the "Shining Trioctahedron"...

……

Sunday, at the entrance of Rice Flower Theater.

Qin Zhibo arrived at the theater entrance and saw the giant billboard hanging on the theater wall at a glance.

There was a huge spider web on the billboard, which made Qin Zhibo feel a little embarrassed.

Are villains so obvious these days?

He actually announced that he was Spider...

On the spider web are the words "The best of world illusionist" in English and the huge golden letter "GUNTER V"

The first sentence is "the world's number one illusionist", and the second sentence is the illusionist's name - Günter von Goldberg.

In Europe, many aristocrats would use the middle letter of their names to distinguish themselves from commoners, such as "De" for France, "Fan" for the Netherlands, and "Tang" for Spain.

This von is the middle name of the German nobility.

In other words, Spider is most likely German, which is the same as the Baron of the Beast Brotherhood.

Just as Qin Zhibo was staring at the billboard in a daze, an extended Maybach stopped on the side of the street.

Today, Koizumi Akako is wearing a dignified red dress, which matches her long straight crimson hair, and she looks as red as fire.

When she got out of the car, passers-by at the theater entrance immediately focused their attention on Koizumi Akako.

"Wow! Could the person getting out of that luxury car be a big star?"

"Today, there's a performance by the world's top illusionist at the Rice Flower Theater. It's no surprise that there are celebrities showing up to show their support!"

"She is so beautiful..."

The classic conversation between passers-by perfectly highlights the charm of Koizumi Akako.

Koizumi Akako also enjoyed the feeling of being the center of attention. She gently lifted the hem of her skirt with her right fingertips and walked towards the theater gracefully.

At this moment, there seemed to be a red carpet in front of Koizumi Akako, and she was the brightest star here.

At this time, Qin Zhibo came over and directly destroyed Koizumi Hongzi's aura.

"Miss, if you just walk here for a while, the show will start soon..."

Koizumi Akako's aura was destroyed, and the passers-by around her suddenly came to their senses, looked at each other, and started doing their own things, no longer paying attention to Koizumi Akako.

This very obvious change surprised Qin Zhibo a little. He whispered to Koizumi Hongzi, "Did you cast some kind of spell on these passersby just now?"

After hearing what Qin Zhibo said, Koizumi Hongzi quickly covered her mouth with her hands and smiled awkwardly: "How is that possible~"

“Oh ho ho ho ho—”

Well, that's it...

Koizumi Hongzi, her witchy aura gone, returned to her normal appearance. She pinched her waist and angrily said, "Why hasn't Kuroba Kaito arrived yet? The show inside is about to begin..."

As soon as Koizumi Hongzi said this, Kuroba Kaito suddenly appeared from somewhere.

"I'm coming!"

"Why are you doing this so late?" Koizumi Hongzi looked dissatisfied.

Kuroba Kaito scratched his head apologetically, "I'm sorry, Aoko insisted on dragging me to watch the TV broadcast, and I finally found a chance to get rid of her."

Qin Zhibo stepped forward and said, "Why would such a program be broadcast on television?"

"If it's a real illusion, shouldn't only the audience present be able to see what the illusionist is performing?"

The illusion that can hypnotize people through broadcasting is the Infinite Tsukuyomi!

"That's right..." Koizumi Akako nodded in agreement, while Kuroba Kaito expressed a different opinion.

"It must be an illusion using the latest digital imaging, right?" Kuroba Kaito twisted his shoulders, feeling a little uncomfortable in his back. "So-called illusionists are really no different from magicians, except that the effects you see on TV are definitely less impressive..."

At this time, Koizumi Akako held Kuroba Kaito and Qin Zhibo's arms with her left and right hands respectively, revealing a mysterious smile.

"What exactly is going on? If we go in and take a look, won't we know everything?"

……

At the same time, in a relatively low-key white car parked at the entrance of the theater, a handsome young man was looking at the Rice Flower Theater through the car window.

That girl in red just now... so beautiful...

There was a faint blush on the boy's face, but it quickly faded away, and his somewhat infatuated eyes once again glowed with confidence and wisdom.

"Young Master, the performance is about to begin, why haven't you gone in yet?" A middle-aged man who looked like a butler in the driver's seat said respectfully.

The young man smiled faintly and said calmly, "In fact, the real protagonists always appear last..."

"By the way, have you completed the transfer procedures?"

"I've used my influence to get everything done. Next week you'll be able to attend class B, second grade, at Jianggutian High School in Jianggutian Town."

"It's just..." The middle-aged man said with some confusion, "Why did you give up the qualification to be recommended to Cambridge or Oxford University in London High School and return to Japan to attend high school?"

"Humph……"

The boy smiled slightly and did not answer the question. Instead, he opened the car door and prepared to get out.

"By the way, Ah Fu, please wait for me here at 3:57:59.12 pm."

Facing the young man's order, the middle-aged man nodded humbly.

"Okay, Master Baima."

Chapter 243 Qin Zhibo's Talent Show - Cleaning the Window

The Rice Flower Theater was bustling with people.

Koizumi Akako pulled Qin Zhibo and Kuroba Kaito to find their seats quickly. As soon as they sat down, most of the lights in the theater suddenly went out. Several beams of light emitted from the ceiling wandered in the theater and finally converged on the stage.

"It seems I just caught up..."

The three of them sat in a row, and Koizumi Akako obviously regarded the two of them as her left and right bodyguards.

At this time, Qin Zhibo quietly put on the magic extractor in his seat and began to replenish his magic.

Witches like Koizumi Akako will unconsciously radiate their own magical power. Although this magic power is insignificant compared to that obtained by direct touch, the principle of wooling the wool is to get as much as possible.

On the other side, Kuroba Kaito glanced at Qin Zhibo and saw that Qin Zhibo suddenly put on gloves.

After Kuroba Chikage's reminder a few days ago, Kuroba Kaito also listed observing Qin Zhibo's actions as his goal for today.

Another goal is that the magician Kuroba Kaito also wants to see what the so-called illusionist looks like.

At this moment, the stage lights were focused on the huge golden spider web hanging on the stage backdrop.

From the dim light outside the lights, a huge mechanical spider waved its thick-jointed limbs and slowly crawled to the center of the spider web.

There are eight scarlet eyes on the spider's head, four large and four small.

The four small eyeballs are lined up at the bottom, and the slightly downward curvature makes them look like a human mouth.

The four large eyeballs are arranged diagonally towards the upper left and upper right, somewhat resembling eyes and eyebrows.

This makes the giant spider look like it has a human face...

All the audience members were staring at the giant golden spider, with curiosity and amazement clearly expressed on their faces.

Even the usually calm Kuroba Kaito looked at the giant metal spider in surprise, muttering, "It's so big—"

Seeing this scene, Qin Zhibo felt that this was no longer a hint, it was an explicit statement.

He is Spider...

When the spider appeared, Naraku on the stage gradually rose, and a blond man wearing a black tuxedo and a purple tie gradually rose.

The man looked relaxed, smiling confidently and calmly in response to the attention of thousands of spectators.

When the stage was raised to the same height as the stage, the blond man's feet left the ground and slowly rose into the air.

During this process, his body did not shake at all until it merged into the same picture with the huge metal spider on the spider web behind him.

Seeing the blond man perform the magical flying skills, the whole audience burst into enthusiastic cheers and screams, only Qin Zhibo's side was relatively calm.

Kuroba Kaito: Isn't it just hanging a wire on your shoulders? I can do it too!

Koizumi Akako: It's just another magic trick, not real magic at all!

Qin Zhibo: It should be the wire suspension, but being able to perform so naturally is also commendable.

The more mature Qin Zhibo was convinced in his heart that this Spider had some abilities, and immediately activated the telescope function, zooming his field of view closer to the blond man.

Through the telescope, Qin Zhibo saw the information floating above the blond man's head.

-

Name: Günter von Goldberg II

Sex: Male

Age: 25

Occupation: Magician

Social Credit: 10400

-

Spider is not an illusionist by profession, but a magician.

The social credit of this world-class magician has exceeded five digits, making him the second-highest-rated person Qin Zhibo has ever seen, second only to Shiro Suzuki.

At this moment, the huge electronic screens surrounding the theater suddenly shifted the image to the red light emitted by the spider's eyes, and the voice of the blond man was heard from the theater's speakers.

"ladies and gentlemen!"

"Welcome to my dream world!"

When Spider spread his arms, everyone's vision was engulfed in a dazzling white light, as if a giant flash bomb had exploded in the center of the stage.
