Conan Rick's Investigator

But if you happen to meet him because of other cases, it would be more natural to ask him about what happened last night.

After all, "Qin Zhibo" was able to see the situation in the Hell Exhibition Hall through the surveillance camera yesterday, and he is not completely ignorant of Spider's affairs. It is only natural to ask casually.

Thinking in his mind, Qin Zhibo started the secret language investigation.

Although the riddles in this kind of scam are generally simple, Qin Zhibo is not a Japanese in either his past or present life, so he can only rely on investigation.

【Secret Word Survey√】

[Old 10,000 yen banknotes circulated during the Showa era with Prince Shotoku as their portrait]

Wait a minute!

Qin Zhibo quickly opened the drawer and took out the 120 million that Ah Fu had just settled for him.

Isn't this a coincidence?

This happens to be the old version of the 10,000 yen banknote!

……

When Qin Zhibo got dressed and arrived at the port, dozens of people participating in the prize-giving quiz were already standing outside the port, and more people continued to line up.

These people all brought their families or boyfriends or girlfriends, and carried suitcases, as if they were ready to go on a trip at any time.

It seems that in this era, the concept of this scam is still very new and can deceive a lot of people.

In order to expose the scam as quickly as possible, Qin Zhibo also hurried over to queue up.

The people in the queue ahead had guessed all sorts of different answers: a Rubik's Cube, a record, a comic book, a samurai sword...

Even more outrageous is that some people directly took out a bunch of department store items from their bags and tried to take them out one by one to try and make mistakes, but were told by the staff that they only had one chance to guess and were politely asked to leave.

Qin Zhibo did not hear from those who failed in the guessing game what price they had to pay for guessing. It was slightly different from the routine of the prize guessing games on TV.

However, Qin Zhibo guessed that this was offline after all, and once the crowd got excited, it would be easy to cause an accident.

Therefore, the real scam should be concentrated on the minority of people who successfully guessed the winners, and money is defrauded from these people in the name of a tour group.

The answer is money, so it's probably a scam to defraud a deposit.

People failed one after another, and finally it was Qin Zhibo's turn to guess.

Behind the curtain, Qin Zhibo took out the 10,000 yen bills that were still warm from his pocket and showed them to the staff.

"Congratulations, you got the answer right. Please get on board."

When Qin Zhibo walked through the door, he discovered that there was a luxurious medium-sized cruise ship docked in front of the port.

A red carpet extends to the boarding gangway, and the service staff smile welcomingly.

Qin Zhibo nodded approvingly, but what he was actually thinking was something else.

Well, this scam is quite expensive.

……

When Qin Zhibo arrived at the front desk of the cruise ship, the front desk waiter first congratulated him politely.

Just when Qin Zhibo thought they were going to start talking about money, the waiter just handed him a room key.

"Sir, are you alone? If so, room 110 is a single room."

This caught Qin Zhibo off guard, because if the cruise ship really set sail, the cost would be high. After all, he didn't like the feeling of being on the sea.

"Don't you guys charge a deposit or anything like that?"

The waiter smiled and replied, "The cost of this charter has already been paid by Mr. Furukawa, so you don't need to pay anything extra."

Ok?

Just when Qin Zhibo was wondering whether a pie would really fall from the sky, some familiar voices came from behind him.

"This looks like a restaurant!"

"Taking this kind of boat to Ogasawara is really nice, and best of all, it's completely free."

"This is all thanks to Conan for guessing the answer correctly!"

Chapter 348 A boatload of seafood...

The Maori family walked up the boarding gangway, marveling at the luxury of the ship while dividing the credit for being able to come here.

Although it was the European queen Ran Mouri who noticed the guessing game advertisement in the newspaper, it was Conan who guessed that the answer was the old version of the banknotes, a fact that Kogoro Mouri could not deny.

Maori Kogoro glanced at Conan at his feet with suspicion, "How can you, a kid who was born in the Heisei era, know about the old version of banknotes from the Showa era?"

Facing Maori Kogoro's suspicion, Conan scratched his head and explained: "It was the TV! I saw it on TV..."

"The TV again..."

Kogoro Mori was no longer surprised by this explanation.

The three of them walked towards the front desk while chatting, and were about to go through the boarding procedures when they found an acquaintance standing at the front desk.

"Mr. Qin!"

"Why are you here?"

The Maori family looked surprised, but Qin Zhibo was quite calm, with a meaningful smile on his face.

"Of course, just like you guys, I got here through a prize-winning quiz."

After Qin Zhibo said this, Conan rolled his eyes as if he was used to it.

After all, he is Qin Zhibo, who has first-class reasoning ability, so it should not be a problem for him to guess that the answer is the old banknotes from the Showa era.

However, even among Japanese people today, only a very small number of people own this thing, not to mention Qin Zhibo, a Hawaiian.

How did he get the old banknotes?

Conan was a little confused, but he wasn't so perverted as to insist on finding out the reason.

Ever since Conan learned about Tomohiro Qin from Yusaku Kudo, Tomohiro Qin's character has become much more transparent in his mind.

Qin Zhibo, a Japanese-American, was born and raised in Hawaii. He graduated from Miskatonic University in the United States and later worked as a shooting coach at a shooting range in Hawaii.

This is all Conan knows so far, but there are also some things he doesn’t understand.

That is, since Qin Zhibo has such top-notch reasoning ability, why doesn’t he become a detective or engage in a related profession as soon as he graduates.

And why did you come all the way to Japan?

Just as Conan casually picked up the suspicious points about Qin Zhibo and started thinking about them, the waiter started to register the people boarding the ship.

Considering that the Grim Reaper had already boarded the ship, Qin Zhibo asked, "How many passengers will this ship carry in total?"

The pretty waitress replied, "There are 11 people in total. You are the eighth passenger to answer correctly. Including this gentleman and lady, we only need one more passenger to board before we can depart."

Qin Zhibo was a little puzzled. He pointed at Conan, who the waiter hadn't seen because he was probably too short, and asked, "Isn't he considered a human?"

The waiter tiptoed to take a look and said with a smile: "This little brother is not a human being."

Realizing that this statement was a bit inappropriate, the waiter quickly changed his words, "Little brothers are not considered adults. Our trip is only counting adults..."

Conan Mentality -1.

Seeing the awkward atmosphere, the waiter nearby quickly took over the conversation, "We need to register the identity information of the passengers boarding the ship. May I ask your name?"

When he was asked to introduce his identity, Kogoro Mouri immediately put on a handsome face and straightened his collar seriously.

"Actually, I am Maori Kogoro..."

At this moment, a mature voice came from behind everyone.

"He used to work in the Metropolitan Police Department's First Investigation Division, but now he's a famous detective who scares even bad kids..."

"Isn't that right, Mr. Maori?"

Qin Zhibo looked back and saw that the person who was speaking was a gray-haired man. Although there were some wrinkles on his face, his figure was still upright.

Above this person's head, Qin Zhibo saw his identity information.

Name: Kazuo Kazaki

Sex: Male

Age: 62

Occupation: Retired police officer

Social Credit: 3200

-

When he saw this person, Kogoro Mouri was very surprised, because this person was the inspector when he was still a policeman. At that time, he and his brother Megure were his pawns.

"Jiaoqi Police Department!"

"Okay, okay, I've stopped being a police officer. Don't forget that I officially retired two years ago."

Ran Mouri, who had some impression of Shimaji Kozaki, also bowed immediately, bowed politely and said hello. Kozaki also praised Ran Mouri for becoming more and more beautiful.

At this time, Jiao Qidaozhi shifted his gaze and saw Qin Zhibo who was also standing at the counter, and there was more interest in his eyes.

"If I'm not mistaken, this is Mr. Qin, who, like Maori, has recently been hailed as a famous detective by the outside world, right?"

"I don't dare to call myself a famous detective, but the person you are talking about should be me." Qin Zhibo's response was rather polite.

The corners of Kazuo Kazuo's mouth rose slightly, and he walked forward and stretched out his hands that were in his pockets.

"Nice to meet you."

The two held hands together, and Qin Zhibo checked it out of habit.

According to Qin Zhibo's experience, people often die where Conan appears.

If the motive is an old grudge, the killer will usually change his or her name.

Unfortunately, however, this person's real name is Shimaji Kazuoka, and he has never changed his name.

But this is normal, after all, he is an old acquaintance of Kogoro Mori.

At this moment, another person came over and showed the cylindrical seal in his hand to the three adult men present.

The man had a Mediterranean appearance, and with his distinctive scowl and round figure, he looked a little funny.

Above this man's head, Qin Zhibo saw the name Kameda Terukichi, whose occupation was driver.

Kameda Terukichi's inexplicable actions left everyone present confused.

"Sir, do you have something to say?" asked Kazuo Kazuo.

Upon hearing this, Kameda Terukichi quickly put away the seal and said, "No...it's nothing..."

But when he put the seal back into his pocket, it accidentally slipped out of his trouser pocket.

Ran Mouri and Conan picked up the seal, looked at the words on the seal, smiled at each other, and immediately returned the seal to Terukichi Kameda, and even thanked him.

Terukichi Kameda was a little confused, but he subconsciously replied, "You're welcome."

Kameda Terukichi had only taken two steps when he met a thin man leaning against the wall. His name was Kanie Korehisa.

Kanie Shikyu took out a key from his pocket and showed it to Kameda Terukichi. The two of them immediately walked towards the restaurant with their arms around each other's shoulders, like good friends who hadn't seen each other for a long time.

This scene made Qin Zhibo and Conan a little thoughtful.

At this time, the last person to board the ship also arrived with a suitcase.

The man was hunched over and did not look in a good mental state. There was a furtive look behind his glasses, as if he was intentionally avoiding the conversation between the detective and the former police officer.

Above this man's head, Qin Zhibo also saw his message.

Name: Minoru Ebina...

Ebi means shrimp.

At this point, the names of the people on board included Jiao, Gui, Xie, and Xia.

Qin Zhibo understood, it turned out that a boatload of seafood had arrived!
