Conan Rick's Investigator

But if Dr. Agasa goes on a business trip to the United States, who will take care of Haibara Ai?

Although Haibara Ai's mental condition does not require care, her physical condition is that of a child after all, so it is still quite inconvenient at times.

At this moment, a gloomy voice came from behind Qin Zhibo.

"Sir, thank you for this time..."

Qin Zhibo looked back and saw that it was Walter Marsh Jr.

Qin Zhibo was a little surprised that Walter Marsh Jr. came out to express his gratitude. After all, this man didn't seem to be an easy person to talk to.

As for the reason for expressing gratitude, it was naturally because Qin Zhibo solved the murder case.

Even if the case is not solved, it would at most be manslaughter and Walter Jr. would not even have to go to jail, but it would still have some impact on STK's stock price.

"I'm the CEO of STK Technologies, and this is my business card..."

"If you need anything, you can come to me."

Little Walter Marsh handed a business card that looked a little tiny in his hand to Qin Zhibo, and reached out to shake hands with Qin Zhibo.

Qin Zhibo was a little surprised when he saw this character card.

This is the first human Qin Zhibo has seen whose strength can reach exactly 100. If this is accurate, this may be the limit of human strength?

Judging from the character's evaluation, this power seems to be innate.

This reminded Qin Zhibo of the local people in Innsmouth he had met, with expressionless and gloomy faces and empty and terrifying gray-white eyes, which were almost exactly the same as this little Walter Marsh.

As his last name was Marsh, there was no doubt that he was from Innsmouth.

Among the bloodlines of the Innsmouth people, the most special part is the Deep Ones.

When Qin Zhibo first met Shimabukuro Keikazu, he felt that the mermaid-like Shimabukuro Keikazu was very agile and could easily jump over cliffs that he could not jump over.

Also, when I transformed into a Deep Diver before, my physical data also improved significantly.

It seems that the blood of the Deep Diver can indeed enhance physical abilities...

However, what surprised Qin Zhibo was that little Walter Marsh could still possess the exaggerated power of a deep diver while maintaining a complete human form.

As for if there was anything that needed his help, Qin Zhibo did remember that Keiwa Shimabukuro on the American island was in dire need of medication to treat Deep Diver Syndrome.

But looking at the back of Walter Marsh Jr. leaving, Qin Zhibo did not express his thoughts after all.

After all, the development of this drug is likely to involve STK's secrets. If you mention this kind of thing to a stranger you met by chance, the other party may turn against you.

In the game, the various behaviors of Walter Marsh Jr. made Qin Zhibo realize that this person was definitely not a good person.

That merciless and cruel attitude towards traitors may come from the cold worldview in the blood of the Deep Ones...

But since Walter Marsh Jr. is so ruthless towards traitors, can he threaten Mark Allen in turn?

After all, Mark Allen secretly gave the drug developed by the company to his daughter, which should also be considered an act of treason...

After seeing off Walter Marsh Jr., Kudo Yusaku also came over to talk.

"Sir, have we met before?"

Qin Zhibo broke out in a sweat under the human skin mask, and then he realized that he had not changed his voice on purpose. After all, he had not expected to meet someone who knew him here.

But this is not a big deal. When communicating with Kudo Yusaku, he uses Japanese, which means that Kudo Yusaku is not very familiar with his English accent.

"Ahem... I don't think we've met before, but I've heard a lot about Mr. Kudo..."

"Really?" Kudo Yusaku frowned slightly, then relaxed his brows. "Then maybe I recognized the wrong person..."

"But your reasoning ability is indeed good. May I ask your name..."

"Michael Bay."

Qin Zhibo left his fake name neatly and left on the pretext of having something to do.

After walking out of the exhibition hall, I saw Carl Sanford leaning against the wall of the corridor, holding an opened gold pocket watch in his hand.

"Is the case over?"

"Well... it's over."

Qin Zhibo hadn't seen Carl Sanford in the exhibition hall just now, and he didn't know where he had been during this time.

"Just in time, news came from Japan that 'they' can't wait to add a 'newcomer'..."

"You can take the flight back to Japan from Boston Airport this afternoon."

When Qin Zhibo heard that he was going back to Japan, he felt as if he was in another world.

Although judging from the store item refresh time, I have only been in the United States for less than a week, it feels like several years have passed.

Happy New Year! I’m back!

Chapter 524 I, Ke, am awesome!

At noon, Qin Zhibo took a taxi to Boston Airport alone.

Qin Zhibo bought some small gifts in the duty-free shop near the airport and gave them to people who knew he was going to the United States when he returned.

Because I asked about the "green-eared spaghetti monster" before, I know that at least Conan, Dr. Agasa, and Haibara Ai are the people who went to the United States...

The three little ones can be counted in with some difficulty.

There were mostly children and relatively few adults. Qin Zhibo was too lazy to choose gifts one by one, so he just bought a lot of American chocolate candies that just filled his suitcase.

Half an hour later, Mr. Clock brought the suitcase that Qin Zhibo had stored in the Arkham Hotel, so that Qin Zhibo could use the passport inside to buy a ticket back to Japan.

Before boarding the plane, Mr. Clock once again reminded Qin Zhibo to just stay in Japan and Arkham would notify him when the time was right.

In fact, after his trip to the United States, Qin Zhibo also had some opinions about Mr. Clock.

Strictly speaking, Mr. Clock and I are not friends now, but simply partners.

In his interpersonal network, Mr. Clock's name is indeed in the cooperation zone and has never moved to the friend zone, even for a moment.

Essentially, Mi-GOs have no empathy for humans, just like the Deep Ones.

Qin Zhibo and this alien creature can work together entirely out of common interests.

Although Qin Zhibo himself had the urge to kill Mi-Go several times, and even tricked Mr. Clock once "for some unknown reason", Qin Zhibo is a shameless person with double standards.

I can betray you, but you can't betray me...

The most important thing is that Qin Zhibo feels that Mr. Clock, as a highly intelligent alien creature who is good at using humans, can actually perceive his inner thoughts.

As for why both parties did not put their ideas into action, there is only one reason.

The time has not come...

……

After a 15-hour flight, the Boeing 747 finally landed at Tokyo's Haneda Airport.

After coming out of the airport lobby, Qin Zhibo couldn't wait to take a taxi back to his detective agency.

At this time, a taxi carrying passengers arrived at the airport gate. Qin Zhibo wanted to go directly over and wait for the passengers to get off the car before getting in to make a seamless connection.

But when the taxi door opened and the person who got out of the car made Qin Zhibo stunned.

The person who pushed the door and got out of the car was Dr. Agasa, and Haibara Ai was also sitting inside.

Both sides looked at each other, not knowing what to say for a moment.

"Mr. Qin, you just came back from the United States?"

"Um……"

Qin Zhibo nodded and looked at the backpack behind Dr. Agasa and the suitcase in his hands. He knew that this was the invitation of Kudo Yusaku and the senior programmer was going to the United States to fix bugs.

However, Qin Zhibo pretended to be ignorant and asked again, letting Dr. Agasa say that he was going to the United States.

"I don't know how long I'll be gone this time. Although Yusaku said everything has been arranged in the United States, I'm worried about Ai being alone at home..."

As Dr. Agasa was speaking, an idea suddenly came to his mind and he looked at Qin Zhibo with a bling-bling look.

"Oh right! Since Mr. Qin is back, why not let Xiao Ai live with you!"

As soon as Dr. Agasa put forward his idea, he was opposed by both Qin Zhibo and Haibara Ai.

"no!"

"Dah-"

The simultaneous opposition from the two made Dr. Agasa, who came up with the idea, a little confused.

Is this idea of mine so bad?

In fact, the main reason why Qin Zhibo refused Haibara Ai to move in was because he might come into contact with the Black Organization in the future. If he let Haibara Ai live in his office, there would definitely be many inconveniences.

However, Qin Zhibo certainly couldn't say that, so he used other explanations.

"Actually, my house is quite small. The second floor, where the office is, is mine. I only have one bedroom and one bathroom, and there's no kitchen..."

"This child lives with me. He has no place to do his homework and can only eat takeout. It will definitely be inconvenient."

After listening to Qin Zhibo's explanation, Dr. Agasa looked a little surprised, while Haibara Ai felt relieved, as it turned out that she was not being disliked.

"I thought your detective agency was the same as Mr. Maori's, and that the third floor was yours..."

"How is that possible... But I'm trying hard to save money." Qin Zhibo finally said the truth.

"Oh..." Dr. Agasa looked at Huiyuan Ai with some pity in his eyes, "It seems that you, Ai, can only be alone..."

However, Haibara Ai crossed her arms and said calmly, "It's nice to live in a big house alone."

Qin Zhibo, who was standing by, looked at Haibara Ai, whose expression seemed calm, but her body movements had betrayed her deeply.

From a psychological point of view, hugging your arms in front of your chest is a self-protection action. It creates a barrier in front of your body, which actually shows that you lack inner security.

It's so pitiful...

"How about this? Doctor Chengshi's house is quite big. I'll ask her to take you in. How about that?"

Qin Zhibo bent down slightly and looked at Haibara Ai, which surprised Haibara Ai a little.

Three seconds later, Haibara Ai nodded weakly.

……

Qin Zhibo and Haibara Ai came to Chengshi Hospital in the same car and told Ma Chengshi his thoughts.

"Ai, are you coming to live here? Welcome! Welcome!"

Masamichi took the initiative to pull the somewhat shy Haibara Ai to his side, and asked Qin Zhibo about going to the United States.

Under Dr. Agasa's "broadcast", Cheng Shi also knew that Qin Zhibo was going to the United States.

"It's nothing serious, I'm just going back to visit some relatives. Here, this is your gift..."
