Conan Rick's Investigator

"By the way, Doctor, can you prepare a replica pistol? A very realistic one..."

Looking at Haibara Ai's somewhat sinister smile, Dr. Agasa suddenly felt something was wrong, but this was a plan that had already been discussed and he had to carry it out.

Shinichi, I'm doing this for your own good!

Dr. Agasa went to the studio to prepare with tears in his eyes, while Haibara Ai smiled and looked forward to Conan's shocked expression after being teased by her for the second time.

If she wasn't afraid of being caught on the spot, Haibara Ai really wanted to take a photo to record that moment and keep it forever.

……

The next day, Qin Zhibo got up normally.

Wash up, go out to get the newspaper, and then watch the morning news.

Amidst Rena Mizunashi's standard report, Qin Zhibo not only learned that the three armed gangsters yesterday were bank robbers and entered the cave to silence their accomplices whose faces were seen, but also heard the news from Chiba Prefecture.

"Yesterday at 18:30, a magnitude 3.2 earthquake struck Yatogamiura City, Chiba Prefecture, causing no casualties."

The news about the earthquake was only mentioned briefly, but in Japan, a country prone to earthquakes, there is really nothing much to say about an earthquake of this magnitude.

Just as Qin Zhibo was watching the news on TV, there was a knock on the office door.

Although he was a little puzzled that a guest came so early, Qin Zhibo still called out, "Come in."

When the door opened, Qin Zhibo was stunned by the person standing at the door.

This was a foreigner with very distinctive features. His golden suit hair was meticulously groomed, he was carrying an old leather suitcase in his hand, and his azure eyes were staring straight at Qin Zhibo.

Qin Zhibo looked the foreigner up and down and saw the name above his head: "Peter Evans".

"Hello... please take a seat."

Qin Zhibo greeted him tentatively in Japanese.

The foreigner opposite sat on the chair with a smile on his face, "Mr. Qin, we just met yesterday..."

Qin Zhibo was stunned for a moment.

The foreigner continued, "It's me, Mr. Clock."

"Om~"

When the iconic buzzing sound was heard, Qin Zhibo immediately knew who was sitting opposite him.

It turns out that I changed my skin...

Chapter 421 Mobile Phone and Flowers

"Don't be surprised, Mr. Qin, this is just another identity of mine."

"this is my name card."

Mr. Clock took out a business card from his pocket, and Qin Zhibo took it and looked at the words on it.

Peter Evans, book salesman, tel:…

"correct……"

Mr. Clock placed the old leather suitcase he carried with him on the desk, opened it, and took out some things that Qin Zhibo was very familiar with.

Brown windbreaker, shirt, wallet, business card case, phone...

"These all belong to you, and now I am returning them to their rightful owners."

Looking at these lost and recovered personal belongings, Qin Zhibo felt a little pleasantly surprised. He temporarily put these things on one side of the table and asked, "So, have you dealt with the situation there?"

Mr. Clock nodded. "Yes, I didn't expect that to happen..."

Qin Zhibo didn't ask how it was handled, but pretended to be sad and self-blaming, "I am also responsible for this matter. If I hadn't brought the mask to you..."

Mr. Clock blinked, staring at Qin Zhibo with his azure eyes, but did not respond.

The air was silent for a few seconds before Mr. Clock continued, "As we agreed before, I will now leave Japan and head to Arkham, USA, to contact the local Silver Twilight Church."

"If all goes well, there will be news next week."

"Only by infiltrating this organization can we obtain information about the Parnest fragments and fulfill our long-cherished wish."

“Please keep your phone open at all times.”

"Goodbye..."

Mr. Clock's words were concise and to the point. As he was speaking, he stood up and said goodbye to Qin Zhibo.

"Bon Voyage."

"Will do."

When Mr. Clock, dressed in a rather old-fashioned style, walked out of the office, Qin Zhibo felt relieved for some reason.

Although MI-GO theoretically cannot read minds, facing that kind of staring gaze, I still feel a little nervous inside.

Qin Zhibo checked his willpower and found that it had dropped by 1 point as expected.

In order to relieve the psychological pressure, Qin Zhibo chose to do something relaxing, such as checking personal belongings that were lost and found.

The money in the wallet was intact, but there were some stains on the first business card in the business card box.

Qin Zhibo guessed that Mr. Clock was able to find his office so easily because of the address on the business card.

There is some dust on the clothes, just wash them.

It's just that the phone might have hit something hard, there are two cracks on the screen, and there are white marks on the corners.

Although it can be turned on and used normally, after all, I am now a person with a social credit of 5400, so there is no need to go out with a broken phone.

So Qin Zhibo came up with the idea of changing his phone number.

Before that, Qin Zhibo made the last call on this damaged phone.

The call was made to Koizumi Hongzi, and the person on the other end answered it quickly.

Qin Zhibo reported his safety to Koizumi Hongzi, and Koizumi Hongzi said that she had seen a lot of information in the crystal ball.

"After you entered that strange theater, the image disappeared, but I saw everything that happened afterwards..."

"You subdued the criminals in the cave, right?"

"But you and that kid with glasses really have a connection. Is his injury serious?"

Qin Zhibo replied: "It's okay, I won't die..."

"Oh……"

"I'm about to start my morning class here. After school, tell me in detail what happened in the theater."

After hanging up the phone, Qin Zhibo temporarily stopped business and went to buy a new phone.

……

At that time, Akihabara was still an electronics street, and the entire street was lined with stores related to electronics.

Qin Zhibo found a communications equipment store with a decent appearance and went in to take a look.

It didn't matter that he took a look, Qin Zhibo discovered some clues.

The mobile phones sold here are not the expected brick-sized phones, but all of them have candy-bar antennas.

Compared with Qin Zhibo's previous big brother, this type of mobile phone has a slimmer body, larger screen and green background light.

Qin Zhibo took out his battle-damaged mobile phone and asked the clerk about it. The clerk smiled and said that this type of mobile phone was an obsolete product and had been discontinued long ago.

It only took one month to go from a brick phone to a candy bar phone!

Qin Zhibo vaguely remembered that last month, his brick-sized mobile phone was still a fashionable luxury item, and he could attract envious glances from passers-by when he stood on the street and made a call.

Eliminated in just one month?

Qin Zhibo: "..."

This reminded Qin Zhibo of that joke: I was studying pager repair in college, but before I graduated, the pager graduated first...

With a thinner and more portable candy-bar phone, Qin Zhibo bought one without hesitation. The model was Nokia 6110.

According to the clerk's sales pitch, this phone is the world's first phone with built-in mobile games.

With the enthusiastic demonstration of the store clerk, Qin Zhibo witnessed this "future trendy toy".

Snake!

The clerk played with it briefly, then excitedly turned to Qin Zhibo and asked, "Is it fun?"

Looking at the clerk's extremely serious expression, Qin Zhibo could only tighten his lips and make sounds through his nasal cavity.

"Ok!"

Looking at Qin Zhibo's eyes full of happiness, the clerk knew that this business was secure.

……

In the end, Qin Zhibo spent 38888 yen and got the Nokia 6110.

After inserting the original phone card into it, Qin Zhibo took the new phone in his hand and waved it twice.

It feels good, very suitable for cracking walnuts...

The most important thing is that the portability has been qualitatively improved, and it no longer feels like a big lump in your pocket.

After leaving Akihabara, Qin Zhibo took a taxi to Mr. Clock's villa and drove back the rented Mazda 929 first.

Then I went to Beihua General Hospital to visit Conan and bought a bouquet of flowers on the way.

Conan looked at the flowers sent by Qin Zhibo, and the same reasoning as Haibara Ai flashed through his mind.

Who would give flowers to a child?

But when I thought about how my vest had long been useless in front of Qin Zhibo, it didn't matter anymore.

……

Since Conan is not around these days, Rice Flower Town is relatively peaceful.

The number of murder cases reported in the morning news decreased by at least one every day, and Qin Zhibo could only sit idle and receive some ordinary commissions in the office.

After work every day, Qin Zhibo would go to Beihua General Hospital to visit Conan.

The main purpose of doing this is to see if Conan's Death Buff is triggered in the hospital, causing some deaths or the like.

But surprisingly, no deaths occurred during Conan's hospitalization. Instead, the number of deaths from normal illnesses in the hospital was slightly higher.

The director and the heads of various departments held an emergency meeting to discuss whether the medical staff had been somewhat slack recently, leading to an overall decline in the hospital's treatment level.

……

On the tenth day, two new visitors came to visit Conan, Hattori Heiji and Toyama Kazuha.

The gifts brought by Hattori Heiji were also flowers. Toyama Kazuha complained to Hattori Heiji that it was impossible to visit a child with only flowers, and they were lilies, whose flower language means "beheading".

Also visiting were the Junior Detectives, who understood children's needs better and brought the latest game consoles.

Conan really liked this gift. He regained his lost innocence and had a lot of fun playing in the wheelchair.

The smiling Hattori Heiji bowed and handed Conan a bunch of white lilies that symbolize "beheading".

Therefore, those who send flowers only to those who have shrunk are those who know the identity of the shrunk person.

Chapter 422: The Battle for the Heir

Faced with the white lilies offered by Hattori Heiji with both hands, Conan looked at him with contempt and did not reach out to take them.

Tsk! You want to chop off my head?

Hattori Heiji:"……"

So, Hattori Heiji turned to look at the bedside table next to the bed. The vase was filled with red carnations, and there was no room for other flowers.

These were all sent by Qin Zhibo while Conan was in the hospital.

Hattori Heiji awkwardly put away his bunch of "beheaded" lilies and carried it on his shoulder in a kendo posture to make himself look less "stupid".
