Chapter 492 Los Angeles, meeting an old friend

Mark Allen's words made Qin Zhibo stunned for a moment, and he felt that there was something fishy.

"Experimental subject...what does this mean?"

As soon as Qin Zhibo asked the question, Mark Allen quickly shook his head to deny it as if he had a stress reaction.

"I didn't say anything, you heard it wrong..."

"Okay, it's time for me to go."

Mark Allen shook his body and fled away.

Qin Zhibo looked at Mark Allen's receding figure and just stood up to follow him when he was suddenly stopped by a couple holding hands.

The man was wearing a dark blue suit, and the woman next to him was wearing a fashionable white V-neck coat with a large black wide-brimmed hat.

Both of them covered their heads tightly above the neck, with glasses and masks, so Qin Zhibo could not see their identity information.

"Mr. Qin, long time no see."

The man greeted him in an unfamiliar voice, causing Qin Zhibo to frown slightly, feeling a little puzzled.

Who is this guy?

Why do you know my name?

Seeing Qin Zhibo's puzzled expression, the man finally came to his senses and quickly took off his mask, revealing his face.

The man is an Asian, with the same hairstyle and glasses as Conan. He has a carefully groomed mustache under his nose, which makes him look much more mature than Conan.

The man in front of him looked very similar to an older version of Conan and seemed familiar, but other than that, Qin Zhibo couldn't recognize who this person was even after searching his memory.

But as the man took off his mask, Qin Zhibo also saw the identity information appearing above his head.

Kudo…writer…

Qin Zhibo's brain quickly captured the key words and figured out why the man in front of him looked so much like Conan.

It's clear that Conan looks like him!

He is Conan's father!

But Qin Zhibo didn’t remember meeting Kudo’s old father, so why did he say “long time no see” to him?

But I can't care about so many things right now. I can only speak and deal with it first.

"It's Mr. Kudo! I almost didn't recognize you with the mask on..."

Qin Zhibo took the initiative to extend his hand, and Kudo Yusaku quickly extended his hand in response, and the two hands were tightly clasped together.

There was a piece of data in Kudo Yusaku's character panel that deeply attracted Qin Zhibo, that was the intelligence of up to 90.

The highest normal intelligence Qin Zhibo had seen before was 80, and there were many people with an intelligence of 80.

For example: Conan, Haibara Ai, Hattori Heiji, Kaito Kid, and Qin Zhibo himself who has upgraded his investigation skills three times and gained 15 points of intelligence.

The person who actually possesses the highest intelligence is Kogoro Mouri, who has an intelligence of 85, but unfortunately he cannot maintain it all the time.

But now, Qin Zhibo has seen the ceiling of human intelligence, and that is the world-class best-selling mystery novel writer in front of him - Kudo Yusaku.

"It's been such a long time no see!"

Qin Zhibo mobilized his artistic and technical (performance) skills to make his expressions and tone as warm and not unfamiliar as possible, achieving seamlessness.

Kudo Yusaku gave a mature smile and explained, "Sorry, in order to avoid those gossipy reporters, my wife and I are always fully armed when we go out."

"By the way, let me introduce you..." Kudo Yusaku leaned towards the woman next to him, "This is my lover, Kudo Yukiko."

"Hello, Mr. Qin."

Yukiko Kudo took off her sunglasses and mask, gave Qin Zhibo a friendly smile, and extended her hand.

The highlight of Kudo Yukiko's character panel is her good looks and an extremely rare disguise skill.

She and Kudo Yusaku are a perfect match, and she gives Kudo Shinichi the most important appearance and wisdom to make his way in the world.

Oh~ Mom and Dad gave me a lot~

But the question is, from whom did you learn fighting skills (football)?

"By the way, why did you suddenly return to the United States?"

Kudo Yusaku asked, glancing behind him.

The first time they met, he noticed some clues from the glances Qin Zhibo exchanged with him.

A former FBI agent who seems to be following someone...

Qin Zhibo also once again captured the key information of "returning to the United States" from Kudo Yusaku's words.

This means that the place where Kudo Yusaku and I met was most likely in the United States, otherwise he would not have said that.

"I" came to Japan from the United States four years ago to open a detective agency, which means that I and Kudo Yusaku have known each other for at least four years.

But why, if they were old acquaintances, didn't Kudo Shinichi recognize him when they met for the first time?

Qin Zhibo temporarily put aside his doubts and replied with an adaptive expression: "I came back to take care of some things..."

"Are you free now?"

Qin Zhibo thought for a second and said, "Well, that's about right."

"In that case, I'll do my part as a good host," Kudo Yusaku said enthusiastically.

……

Half an hour later, Qin Zhibo followed the Kudo couple to their mansion in Los Angeles.

In fact, the reason why Qin Zhibo was invited to the house was not entirely because Qin Zhibo was once Kudo Yusaku's shooting coach and they were old acquaintances.

The deeper reason is that Qin Zhibo saved Conan (Kudo Shinichi)'s life some time ago.

Last week, Conan was shot in a cave in the mountains and was on the verge of death. It was Qin Zhibo who dealt with the gunman who held Conan hostage.

Conan, who was sent to the hospital, had already been issued a critical illness notice, and Dr. Agasa told the Kudo couple about this.

Originally, the Kudo couple planned to fly back to Japan overnight, but after hearing that Conan accepted Ran Mouri's blood donation, they gave up the idea.

At that time, Kudo Yusaku judged that Mouri Ran would definitely suspect Conan's true identity because of his blood donation. If he and his wife went back now, it would be tantamount to confirming Mouri Ran's guess.

Is there any parent in the world who doesn’t love their son?

So the Kudo couple could only suppress their inner worries and stay in Los Angeles instead of returning to Japan.

But at the same time, I also remember that Qin Zhibo saved Conan's life.

Chapter 493 Inspector Megure: Why did you come just now?

Kudo Yukiko brought some watermelon juice to Qin Zhibo to relieve the heat, while Qin Zhibo looked around Kudo Yusaku's huge mansion with some restraint.

This mansion is located in Beverly Hills, Los Angeles, a world-famous wealthy residential area and shopping paradise.

It is said that many celebrities have lived here, including Hollywood stars, international singers, world-class athletes, and even a game developer...

Yusaku Kudo can live here as a mystery writer. It seems that writing mystery novels is really profitable in this world.

Qin Zhibo turned his head and looked outside the living room. The beautiful sea was reflected in the panoramic floor-to-ceiling windows that looked like an IMAX screen.

The afterglow of the setting sun falls on the sea, and the sparkling waves are refreshing...

?

Qin Zhibo arched his nose slightly and used the same expression as the "old man on the subway looking at his mobile phone" to express his disdain for the sea.

"Excuse me, is that the Pacific Ocean outside the window?"

Kudo Yusaku turned around with a smile and said, "That's right. I bought this house at a high price just for this beautiful view."

It can be seen that Kudo Yusaku is very satisfied with the scenery here. With the green mountains behind him and the sea in front of him, he feels very comfortable.

In fact, you can buy many houses with mountain views and sea views in Japan.

But when Kudo Yusaku and Yukiko lamented the rising crime rate in Beika Town and thought about changing houses, they discovered that most of the sea view houses built on the mountains in Japan are haunted houses.

Either a murder had occurred there or the owner of the house was imprisoned for murder. Some of the cases in the house were even solved by Kudo Yusaku himself.

Although these houses were sold at extremely low prices, no one was interested in buying them.

Of course, Kudo Yusaku and Yukiko would not be the ones to take over these haunted houses. Considering that Kudo Shinichi might come to the United States to study in the future, they settled in the top wealthy area in the United States.

It’s a pity that Kudo Shinichi was obsessed with women and did not follow.

Otherwise, Los Angeles, known as the "City of Angels", will be plunged into a bloody storm, bringing about an unprecedented plunge in the real estate market.
