Conan Rick's Investigator

87...

85...

82...

80...

Every time the number decreases, these tentacle-like branches at the edge of Qin Zhibo's vision will move closer to the center of Qin Zhibo's vision.

If the willpower drops to 0, I believe these branches will completely block Qin Zhibo's vision.

At this moment, a childish voice suddenly sounded, interrupting Qin Zhibo's wandering thoughts.

"uncle……"

"what are you doing?"

Chapter 23 New Art Museum Director

Conan didn't want to get close to Qin Zhibo.

But Qin Zhibo stared at the painting "Heavenly Punishment" with an expressionless face, and Conan always felt something was strange.

Not only that, Conan felt a little strange when recalling the three recent cases in which he encountered Qin Zhibo.

In the Suoyu Mansion case, the owner of the Suoyu Mansion, Suoyu Sontoku, was going to hold a banquet and originally invited the Sonoko family.

However, Sonoko's family was unable to attend the banquet due to some matters, so Sonoko stuffed the invitation letter to Ran Mouri, who then forced herself to go by force.

If Sowa Sontoku held the banquet just to kill Yamazaki Tetsu, the manager of Baling Bank, at the banquet, why did he invite a detective?

It was purely an accident that the detective appeared at the banquet. So what kind of “accident” was Qin Zhibo?

There was also a second case of the kidnapping of a young girl. It was because I heard the news that a man in black had kidnapped a little girl that I followed Uncle Maori, who had received a formal commission, to get involved in this case.

But Qin Zhibo actually said that he was just taking a walk and accidentally did something heroic?

Walking from the office in Mihua Town to Beihu Town, this...

And this time, Qin Zhibo, who arrived at the art museum first, seemed to be investigating the supernatural events that happened before the art museum.

The mysteries surrounding Qin Zhibo make Conan, a curious boy, willing to risk his identity to get close to Qin Zhibo.

"uncle……"

"what are you doing?"

On Qin Zhibo's side, as Conan's voice interrupted the random thoughts in Qin Zhibo's mind, the dark green branches extending from the edge of his vision suddenly retracted like mimosa and disappeared without a trace.

At the same time, Qin Zhibo's willpower value also recovered rapidly.

80, 84, 87, 89, 90.

Qin Zhibo turned around and exchanged glances with Conan for a moment before saying, "Don't ask around, kid. Go home and do your homework."

Conan: "Homework is done..."

Qin Zhibo: "Then you should preview the content of the next class."

After persuading him to study, Qin Zhibo took the initiative to find Officer Megure to take a statement.

Looking at Qin Zhibo's back as he left silently, Conan felt that Qin Zhibo was even more mysterious.

This mysterious person is waiting to be explored, and Conan even has a vague hope of meeting Qin Zhibo again next time.

There's nothing I can do, I'm just a detective.

It's just that he's naturally curious.

……

Congratulations on completing the main mission.

[Acquire 1600 general skill proficiency]

[Get 120 social credits]

[Gain 400 Mythical Skill Proficiency]

When Qin Zhibo finished investigating the painting and his mind was filled with disorganized thoughts, the system prompted that the task had been completed.

After obtaining these rewards, Qin Zhibo’s current panel has been updated with the following content.

Name: Qin Zhibo

Sex: Male

Age: 37

Occupation: Investigator

Social Credit: 1520

General proficiency: 2050

Items: Navigation device, nuclear lighter

……

Social skills (talking skills)

Rating: 1

Proficiency: 170/1000

……

Mythological Knowledge

Rating: 1

Proficiency: 600/1000

……

Including Qin Zhibo's own skills, Qin Zhibo now has a total of 8 professional skills.

They are investigation, medical, car driving, language, combat skills (Krav Maga), firearms, social skills (speech skills), and knowledge of mysterious myths.

Now that Qin Zhibo has a huge sum of money of 2050, it stands to reason that he can upgrade a new skill.

But after much consideration, Qin Zhibo decided to save up these general skill proficiency points to see if he could buy the Inspiration Gun in the store.

After all, the items in the system store are refreshed. If the gun you want is refreshed after this week, you don’t know when you will be able to buy it next time.

Of course, this idea is also based on the chaotic time in this world.

……

For the next seven days, Qin Zhibo spent most of his time in the library.

Although he no longer had the skill training acceleration card, Qin Zhibo still insisted on learning French in the library and arming his mind with knowledge.

As for the detective agency, Qin Zhibo knew that his agency didn't have much business, so he simply hung his mobile phone number on the door and asked people who needed detective services to just call him.

Anyway, the library is not far from the office, and it takes less than ten minutes to run there.

If the guest can't even wait this short time, then ask him to find someone else.

The most important reason that supports Qin Zhibo to be so tough is that he has no financial pressure.

The last time I saved the rich man's daughter, the rich man's housekeeper finally delivered the agreed reward, which was 25 yen.

In addition, Qin Zhibo discovered a big bug in this world.

That is, the time in this world will "cheat" ourselves, but numbers will not "cheat" ourselves.

For example, Qin Zhibo believes that seven days have passed in this world, but everyone else in this world will think that less than a week has passed.

But in less than a week, the Qinzhi Expo actually used up resources that would have taken seven days to complete.

The electricity used, the food eaten, the garbage produced...

These data don't lie.

In order to avoid others suspecting that he has a mistress, or to save electricity, Qin Zhibo would rather stay in the office as little as possible.

Of course, this bug doesn’t bring all bad things, there is also a benefit.

That is, when Qin Zhibo is in a place that charges a long-term fee, such as staying in a hotel for a week, Qin Zhibo will make a profit without any loss.

Because during this week Qin Zhibo will eat more than seven days' worth of food, use more than seven days' worth of electricity, and stay in a hotel for more than seven days, but the boss can only charge him for seven days' worth of money.

To sum up, when Qin Zhibo conducts a certain hourly-charged activity, Qin Zhibo makes a lot of money.

When Qin Zhibo carried out a certain metered charging activity, Qin Zhibo suffered a huge loss.

In summary, during these seven days, Qin Zhibo could enjoy free air conditioning in the library, and could also ask the library staff member Yutian Kazuo what day of the week it was every day.

Isn’t this beautiful?

But the answer given by Yutian Kazuo every day was either Saturday or Sunday, and for seven consecutive days, only one day was Friday.

Although this is strange, it is certainly a good thing for Qin Zhibo, because if he can't get through this week, the props in the store will not be refreshed.

……

It was almost four o'clock in the afternoon. Qin Zhibo packed up his French books in advance, left the library, and prepared to go home to watch TV.

According to Qin Zhibo's inquiry, today is Saturday, and it is the time when Rena Mizunashi's show will be rebroadcast.

When Qin Zhibo came to this world, he didn’t have many family entertainment options.

There is no familiar network here, so the only thing I can watch is TV.

However, the Japanese TV programs in 96 seemed a bit old-fashioned to Qin Zhibo. Only Rena Mizunashi's TV news program seemed relatively pleasing to Qin Zhibo.

On the one hand, he can get some news about Japan, and on the other hand, Qin Zhibo feels that Rena Mizunashi is a very pleasing person.

This kind of liking is certainly not the kind of liking between men and women, but simply a feeling of familiarity.

It's like I've seen it before...

On his way home, Qin Zhibo saw a banner hanging on the street that read "Celebrating the reopening of the Zhongshi Art Museum!"

This made Qin Zhibo a little puzzled. He remembered that it had been less than a week since someone died in the Zhongshi Art Museum and the director was also arrested. Could it reopen so soon?

With some curiosity in his heart, Qin Zhibo walked to the nearby Medieval Art Museum.

Without the time to bother paying for a ticket, Qin Zhibo walked straight to the ticket booth and asked the ticket seller, "Wasn't your previous director arrested? How come there's a new director so soon?"

The ticket seller nodded. "Yes, Director Matsumoto is a very nice person. The day before the museum reopened, he even warmly invited the museum's former staff to dinner at his home."

"Matsumoto... Director?"

"Yes, that's Director Matsumoto Ryohei standing over there."

Chapter 24 Dinner Together

In the lobby of the art museum, an elegant middle-aged man looked at Qin Zhibo from a distance, then walked straight towards him, once again showing his standard smile when dealing with people.

"Mr. Qin, we meet again."

amount……

Seeing Matsumoto Ryohei here, Qin Zhibo didn't know how to respond.

However, Matsumoto Ryohei had already put his arm around Qin Zhibo's shoulders in a familiar manner and invited Qin Zhibo into the art museum.

Of course, there is no entrance fee.

……

Walking in the art gallery of the museum, Qin Zhibo looked around the museum, which still had a very familiar layout.

"So...your new job is the curator here?"

"Yes."

Ryohei Matsumoto smiled and nodded, looking around at the various artworks on display with his slightly narrowed eyes.
