Conan Rick's Investigator

Bai Ma Tan coughed lightly and said calmly, "I already know that Kaito Kidd has an assistant. I just want to know why you said that the three people identified by the computer analysis couldn't be suspects."

Kudo Yusaku looked at Hakuba Tan calmly, and after two seconds of silence, he said, "You've eliminated two suspects for me. The only suspect left is someone I happen to know..."

Conan's eyes widened as he caught the key information.

The last suspect is Qin Zhibo, and Kudo Yusaku said that he knows Qin Zhibo?

My dad actually knows that mixed-race detective uncle!

At this moment, Conan really wanted to blurt out and ask his father how he knew Qin Zhibo.

However, considering that doing so in front of the Mori family would have a bad impact, Conan could only suppress his thoughts temporarily.

Bai Matan frowned, feeling something was wrong, but he continued to stick to his point of view.

"Someone Kudo-san knows might not necessarily be able to escape suspicion. People are capable of disguise..."

In response to this, Kudo Yusaku smiled slightly and suddenly became a little interested.

"Then let's make a bet..."

Hakuba was alert for a moment, but Kudo Yusaku immediately explained: "Your father and I are old friends. I won't cheat the young..."

"As long as you win and that person is indeed Kaito Kidd, I will write on the title page of my next book, 'This book pays tribute to the winner - Hakuba Tan'."

"If you lose..."

Kudo Yusaku looked Hakuba Tan up and down, his eyes lit up, and he said lightly: "If you lose, you can't wear this dress anymore."

Hakuba Tan was a little surprised by the bet proposed by Kudo Yusaku, but after thinking about it carefully, Hakuba Tan felt that he was not at a disadvantage.

Yusaku Kudo is a world-class mystery novel writer. His works are destined to be bestsellers all over the world. If he writes the words "Winner - Hakuba Detective" on the title page, his own name will surely become famous all over the world.

And doing so is equivalent to declaring to the world that he, Yusaku Kudo, is a loser.

If I lose, I just won't have to wear the Sherlock Holmes cosplay costume anymore. Although I like this cosplay costume very much, it is not an absolute necessity that I cannot give up.

"how?"

"Of course, I accept the bet."

Hakuba Tan and Kudo Yusaku both showed confident smiles. Hakuba Tan's eyes were wise, while Kudo Yusaku's eyes were looking at someone "wise".

……

Regardless of whether Gayoli is Kaito Kid or not, he committed murder in front of the police and must be taken away for investigation.

The relevant personnel left one by one, and the Maori family and the Kudo family chatted briefly and talked about their recent situation.

After the two families said goodbye to each other, Maori Kogoro, who had been smiling the whole time, complained helplessly: "Really? Even though their own son is missing, they still have the mood to travel around. I really doubt whether that kid is his parents' biological son..."

Conan with crescent eyes: Don’t worry about me!

Ran Mao Li next to her retorted: "Shinichi was just busy investigating some big cases, so he didn't lose it..."

"Ok?"

When Kogoro Mouri looked at Ran Mouri's anxious look in protecting her husband, he felt like his sweet little cotton-padded jacket was being stolen away.

Just as he was about to ask the question in his mind, he was interrupted by Conan.

"Oh, I think I forgot something on the train..."

"I'll go ask the conductor to help me look for it. Sister Xiaolan and Uncle can go out first."

Just as Maori Ran was about to chase after him, she was stopped by Maori Kogoro.

"Anyway, there are police officers in the station now, so nothing will happen..."

Conan successfully escaped and immediately blended into the crowd, catching up with the Kudo couple who had not walked far.

"Shinichi, why are you here?"

"Have you thought about going to America with us?"

Conan ignored Kudo Yukiko's intimacy and quickly asked Kudo Yusaku: "Dad, you said you knew Qin Zhibo, is this true?"

Kudo Yusaku nodded, "Of course it's true. Although the name has changed, it's definitely the person I know."

"What is his identity?"

Conan asked the question in a concise manner. Kudo Yusaku was silent for a moment and replied: "He is my shooting coach in Hawaii, and you have met him..."

"Have I seen him?" Conan asked doubtfully, pointing at his nose.

"Yeah." Kudo Yusaku said seriously, "You were very young at that time, so you might not remember it very clearly, but he did hold you in his arms when you were in the first grade."

Kudo Yusaku's words were like a thunderbolt hitting Conan's head. The thunder in his head suddenly gave Conan an epiphany.

Did Qin Zhibo hold me in his arms when I was in the first grade of elementary school?

That's it!

No wonder Qin Zhibo recognized my true identity the first time he saw me. It turns out he had seen me when I was a child!

That extraordinary observation and reasoning ability...

Everything makes sense!

Chapter 307: First Experience with Spiritualism

Ten years ago, Qin Zhibo hugged me...

Ten years later, Qin Zhibo can still hug me...

After thinking everything through, Conan's surprise subsided a little, but he was still muttering to himself and left Sapporo Station listlessly to find Mori and his daughter.

Kudo Yusaku stopped where he was, looking at his son's short back with a deep look in his eyes.

Kudo Yukiko next to him asked, "Why didn't you tell Shinichi that the man was from the FBI?"

Kudo Yusaku shook his head. "The FBI showed up in Japan. They must be carrying out some secret mission..."

"Given Shinichi's impulsive personality, if he knew about this, it might cause trouble for the FBI's operations."

"And even if I don't tell you, you might find out later..."

In order to investigate the Black Organization mentioned by Conan, Kudo Yusaku has used his connections to ask for help from the top FBI officials, who promised to send people to Japan to investigate the organization as soon as possible.

"Okay, let's go back to the United States first."

"Let's just trust Shinichi to handle this for now..."

……

During the time when Conan was not in Tokyo, Qin Zhibo immersed himself in the ocean of knowledge.

Occasionally, when someone came to him for a commission, Qin Zhibo would take it and brush up his few points of social credit.

Daily commissions can also be processed using social credit, but the limit is very low.

During this period, an acquaintance came, Yoko Okino and her agent.

Last week, Yoko Okino took the magic potion given by Qin Zhibo, and her fortune seemed to have returned to normal. Yoko Okino came to express her gratitude in person.

"Mr. Qin's family's ancestral bone-setting medicine is very useful. I feel like I've healed very quickly. Even the doctor found it incredible!"

"And I don't know why, but ever since I drank the medicine, my luck doesn't seem to be so bad!"

Yoko Okino misunderstood the magic potion as a bone-setting medicine. It should be her agent Eiichiro Yamagishi who told her this.

The potion prepared by Koizumi Anko competes with the voodoo curse cast by Okino Yoko's ex-boyfriend, so the damage caused by the curse will be healed faster by the potion.

"This is the other half of the agreed remuneration..."

"And I personally want to invite you, Mr. Qin, to watch my first concert after my recovery."

Qin Zhibo "reluctantly" accepted the 100 million cash and concert tickets, and said that he would definitely go to support the concert if he had time.

In addition to this special guest, Qin Zhibo also spent 2000 points of general skill proficiency to exchange for the character skill - necromancy.

This was the first time Qin Zhibo exchanged character skill items from the system mall.

Spirituality: This refers to the ability of human or animal spirits. Improving this skill increases the probability of successful spiritual communication, prolongs the duration of spiritual communication, and improves the flow of information during the process. It requires the user to possess the ability to access inspiration.

It is common sense that this spiritualism can only communicate with deceased people under normal circumstances.

Secondly, there are two ways in which spiritism can be used.

One is that the body of the deceased is right in front of you, and you can stick talismans written with cinnabar on the body, and the body will be able to "return to the soul".

If the soul's thoughts during its lifetime are strong enough, the soul can even slightly control the corpse for a short period of time and perform some simple actions.

Of course, this assumes that the deceased has not been dead for too long and the body is preserved intact.

The other way of using it is simpler and has a wider range of usage scenarios.

This method does not require a corpse. Just write the name of the person you want to communicate with in cinnabar on yellow paper, or place animal fur on it.

Combined with specific talismans, you can communicate with spirits anytime and anywhere.

Of course, this method has a lower success rate.

Qin Zhibo has no corpse around him at the moment, so he can only try the second method.

Qin Zhibo searched the market for a long time and finally found cinnabar in a Chinese medicine store run by a Chinese.

The yellow paper is yellow card paper bought from a stationery store.

Cut the yellow cardboard into corresponding long strips, and then use cinnabar to write the immortal seal and talisman in your brain on the yellow paper, and at the bottom is the name of the person you want to communicate with.

Speaking of people who want to communicate with spirits, Qin Zhibo actually has someone he really wants to meet, and that's Professor Dale, the leader of the Miskatonic Antarctic Expedition.

Professor Dale was one of only two people who went deep into the Black Mountains of Antarctica back then. If one could communicate with this person's soul, it would play a very crucial role in the creation of "At the Mountains of Madness".

Qin Zhibo did a quick search online and found this famous professor on the Noah's Ark website.

William Dale (1876-1970) was a professor of geology at Miskatonic University. He led expeditions to Antarctica and explored ancient ruins in the Australian Gobi Desert.

Next to the name, Qin Zhibo saw a black and white photo of William Dell.

Knowing a person's name is only the most basic requirement for communicating with a spirit from another place. If you can know their appearance, the success rate can be greatly increased.

Of course, it would be even better if there were corpses.

Due to the current conditions, Qin Zhibo could only write the name "William Dell" on the talisman and memorize the appearance of Professor Dell in the black and white photo in his mind.

[This time the spiritual communication success rate: 3.27%]

Is it psychic?

A system prompt appeared next to the field of vision, indicating the extremely low success rate of this spiritual communication.

But even if the success rate is low, Qin Zhibo must give it a try.

What if I am the King of Europe?

Qin Zhibo pinched his left hand and pressed two fingers of his right hand on the talisman.

For a moment, the cinnabar characters on the talisman began to faintly jump, and the air around the paper also moved in a disorderly rhythm like the air above a blazing flame.

However, after about ten seconds, the jumping words returned to calm.

【Spiritual Communication Failed】

[Netherworld Proficiency +1]

The first spiritual communication ended in failure, which was within Qin Zhibo's expectations.

But the success rate of spiritual communication is 3.27%. As long as you try enough times, you will always succeed.

With this idea in mind, Qin Zhibo tried to communicate with the spirit world 30 times, but all of them failed without exception.

"What a damn probability!"
