Conan Rick's Investigator

The blaring sound of sirens whistled past the car window, and the four people in black in the car looked calm.

After the car drove a little further away, Chianti couldn't help but ask about the significance of this mission.

"Gin, what exactly is going on with this mission? Who are those people?"

Although Chianti knew that his rank was not high enough and it was impossible for him to know everyone in the organization, but from the clothes of the group of people just now, Chianti could tell that they were definitely not members of the organization.

Gin was silent for a second, then said in a deep voice, "This is an order from 'that gentleman'."

This short sentence revealed an absolute and unquestionable prestige, so that Chianti did not dare to ask any more questions.

"Vodka, send the Calvados and Chianti back first, then go to the airport."

"Got it, big brother."

With a clear destination in mind, professional driver Vodka stepped on the accelerator and the speed of the car increased sharply.

At this moment, Calvados, who was sitting in the back seat, suddenly said something.

"Gin, can I go to the airport with you?"

Chianti, who was standing by, looked at Calvados wearing sunglasses and gritted his teeth in indignation.

Because the only person who could make the taciturn Calvados speak was that woman...

Chapter 346: Was it all in vain? Not in vain!

The next day, at Zhibo Detective Agency.

Qin Zhibo walked to the window, opened the blinds, and took a look at the street outside.

The pedestrians on the street are busy with their own lives, and there is nothing different from usual.

But in fact, Qin Zhibo clearly remembered that the sirens on the streets sounded almost all night yesterday.

Yesterday at the Zhongshi Art Museum, Qin Zhibo was sent back to the office by a policeman arranged by the Baima detective.

But less than half an hour after returning to the office, countless police sirens rang out on the streets of Beika Town.

Through the window, you can see that most of the vehicles are from the mobile team speeding on the street, and patrol cars are always lingering in the blocks.

As a permanent resident of Mihua Town, Qin Zhibo is quite accustomed to this sound accompanying him to sleep.

However, the scene last night was so huge that Qin Zhibo even suspected that some high-ranking official had mobilized all the police in Tokyo.

In this era when the Internet is not yet developed enough, it is not easy to get real-time information, so Qin Zhibo can only get up on time and prepare to watch the morning news program even though his sleep quality is disturbed.

Only when Rena Mizunoshi appeared on the TV screen did Qin Zhibo get the answer he wanted.

"Last night at 9:27, a vicious incident occurred in Beika-cho -chome. A group of armed assailants attacked a police convoy, resulting in multiple injuries..."

"It is reported that one of the injured is the famous high school detective Hakuba..."

"At 6:00 this morning, the Metropolitan Police Department's highest official, Superintendent Hakuba, issued a stern statement: The Japanese police will bring this gang of criminals to justice at all costs..."

"We hope that anyone with relevant clues will actively report to the police. The reporting phone number is..."

Watching the news on TV, Qin Zhibo felt incredible.

Judging from the time reported in the news, it was not long after Bai Ma Tan arranged for him to be sent back to the agency.

At that time, Officer Nakamori and other police officers were also preparing to escort Spider to the Metropolitan Police Department, but Detective Hakuba insisted on sitting in the police car that was escorting Spider.

In other words, the convoy carrying Spider was attacked by armed gangsters shortly after leaving the Medieval World Art Museum?

They dared to attack the police car team with guns. Even in Mihua Town where people are vicious, Qin Zhibo felt that such a crazy thing would not happen so easily.

The only thing that could surpass it was machine gun fire on Tokyo Tower.

unless……

Just as Qin Zhibo was thinking, the mobile phone on the table suddenly rang.

Qin Zhibo picked up the phone and heard Kuroba Kaito's anxious voice on the other end.

"Did you watch the news this morning?"

"Yeah... I saw it."

“Those who attacked the police were the same group I met before!”

Kuroba Kaito's tone was strong because he would never forget his first encounter with this group.

That day was Aoko Nakamori's birthday, and it was also the day she planned to steal a legendary gem called "Blue Birthday".

He had successfully obtained the "Blue Birthday" and was about to escape from the top of the building using a hang glider when suddenly a group of people appeared from behind and pointed guns at him.

These people were wearing beige windbreakers and top hats, exactly the same as the scene footage provided by the police in the news!

However, when he faced these people, not only was he not injured, but he also played a trick on this group of people through the communicator installed on the gem by Officer Nakamori, and led Officer Nakamori to their base.

However, these people escaped through the underground secret passage of the stronghold, and Officer Nakamori was completely empty-handed.

And now, this group of people actually dared to directly attack the police convoy!

"Spider is theirs. Are they doing this to rescue Spider?" Kuroba Kaito made a reasonable guess.

"Well...it's very possible." Qin Zhibo replied.

"hateful!"

Hei Yu was so angry that he slammed his fist on the table, "I finally caught that guy, but he was rescued by his companions!"

Although there was no mention of Spider in the news, Kuroba Kaito instinctively believed that Spider had been rescued.

This made Kuroba Kaito, who usually had little emotion, forget his father's teachings about keeping a poker face, and an unwilling expression appeared on his face.

In fact, before meeting Qin Zhibo, Kuroba Kaito's plan to avenge his father was just to first find the Life Stone needed by the organization - Pandora, and then destroy it so that the boss behind the organization would never get it.

After all, the whole family was in prison, and Kuroba Kaito instinctively thought of avenging his father in the way of a phantom thief.

But since Qin Zhibo proposed the plan to capture Spider, Kuroba Kaito saw another hope of avenging his father.

Originally, Kuroba Kaito wanted to use the police interrogation to uncover the organization behind Spider and let the police's power deal a blow to the organization that killed his father.

But now, this hope seems to have vanished into thin air.

"Don't give up so easily. Spider might not have been rescued..."

Qin Zhibo comforted Hei Yu Kaito insincerely, but in fact, even Qin Zhibo felt that all his efforts in the past period might have been in vain.

Qin Zhibo had never expected that after finally planning to have the police arrest Spider, he would be rescued in such a brutal way by Spider's companions.

However, this also indirectly shows that the background and strength of the Beast Brotherhood are stronger than imagined.

It took the police only half an hour from arresting Spider to escorting him away, and the members of the Beast Brotherhood were able to respond quickly and dispatched a considerable number of people to confront the police.

This means there is a mole among the police!

But Qin Zhibo thought about it and still felt something was wrong.

The headquarters of the Beast Brotherhood should be in Europe. If this is Europe, Qin Zhibo believes that the Brotherhood has sufficient deployment inside and outside the police station, and robbing a police car team is nothing.

But this is faraway Japan, and both Scott and Spider came here from Europe for an assassination mission.

Hauptmann Natsumi, who transformed into Kosaka Natsumi, first assassinated Harui Fuden of the Nine Angels Organization in a very obscure way, and then used the "Egg of Memories" as bait to assassinate Kaito Kidd.

Spider came to Japan simply to assassinate Kaito Kidd and had never been to Japan in a public capacity before.

It was hard for Qin Zhibo to imagine that such a "newcomer" organization could rescue Spider from the police so beautifully.

Is there another force behind this incident?

"Don't overthink it. Even if Spider is rescued, he'll have to disappear for a while."

"You shouldn't have to worry about Spider harassing you again during this time..."

Qin Zhibo comforted Kuroba Kaito in this way, and Kuroba Kaito on the other end of the phone thanked him and hung up silently.

In fact, Spider's rescue did not have any impact on Qin Zhibo's mentality.

“It’s all in vain!”

Qin Zhibo shouted, venting his resentment.

Just then, the doorbell rang.

Qin Zhibo walked over to open the door, only to see an old man in a suit and tie handing him a stack of banknotes with both hands.

"Mr. Qin, according to the agreement between you and Master Baima, here is 120 million."

"Please accept it."

Qin Zhibo's eyes lit up with joy when he saw a stack of banknotes emitting an enticing fragrance.

Was it all in vain?

The work is not in vain!

Chapter 347 Beware of New Scams

Qin Zhibo took the 120 million yuan bill from Afu, but as soon as he touched the bill, Qin Zhibo found something wrong.

The portraits printed on these 10,000 yen bills are not the 10,000 yen bills currently in circulation.

Ah Fu saw Qin Zhibo's doubts and explained, "These are the money I saved decades ago. Because I never had the chance to spend them, they have become old banknotes."

"But please rest assured, these old banknotes can be circulated normally, or you can exchange them for new banknotes at the bank."

"Oh I see……"

Qin Zhibo put the 120 million yuan aside and asked, "I saw the news this morning. Since you temporarily paid this money, does that mean Bai Ma hasn't woken up yet?"

Ah Fu shook his head. "Master, you've woken up, but I don't want to disturb your rest with this kind of thing, so I'm here to settle the payment for your invitation first."

"Then I'll take my leave first."

Ah Fu turned and left, but Qin Zhibo was still very happy holding the 120 million yuan in cash.

So far, Qin Zhibo’s small treasury has accumulated 1300 million yuan, and there is still 1700 million yuan left to buy the upstairs floor.

Although it sounds like it requires a lot of money, as long as the social credit is getting higher and higher, as a detective, the money should come quickly.

Qin Zhibo came to the desk, put the 120 million yuan in cash into the drawer, and picked up the newspaper on the table to read.

Compared to watching the morning news every day, Qin Zhibo does not have the habit of reading newspapers every day.

However, the original owner had subscribed to the newspaper for two months later, so after the newspaper was delivered, Qin Zhibo would read it a little in his spare time.

It's yesterday's newspaper. Today's newspaper is outside the door and hasn't been brought in yet...

Since it was yesterday's newspaper, Qin Zhibo was not very interested and just glanced at the headlines of the major pages.

Just as I turned to the last page of the newspaper, which was the advertisement page, a clear survey point appeared on the paper.

This was the first time Qin Zhibo encountered such a situation, so he paid a little attention to the content above.

During the Showa era, most Japanese people had one important item. Do you still have it?

Anyone who still possesses this precious item, which is almost completely extinct, will have a chance to receive a free Ogasawara dolphin tour.

The number of places is limited, first come first served...]

After seeing this advertisement, Qin Zhibo felt that he should be "warned of new scams."

In the future, this scam will use a riddle with an obvious answer to attract people to call and participate in the prize guessing competition, but in fact it is to defraud phone bills.

The young and naive Qin Zhibo was once fooled like this and paid 10 yuan in IQ tax.

From then on, Qin Zhibo no longer believed that there was free pie in the sky.

In Qin Zhibo's judgment, this should be an old version of the TV prize guessing scam, except that the communication medium has been changed from TV to newspaper.

But now Qin Zhibo has become interested in this scam.

Because the department responsible for handling intelligent crimes such as fraud is the Metropolitan Police Department's Second Investigation Division, where Officer Nakamori works.

If you can uncover this scam, you will be invited to the police station for tea, meet Officer Nakamori, and ask him about Spider.

If I go directly to Officer Nakamori and ask him, it would seem a bit deliberate and might arouse suspicion.
