Conan Rick's Investigator

"Roughly the same……"

"Undercover..."

Haneda Yasuharu groaned and advised, "But you have to know that the Black Organization is a very dangerous existence. If you are not careful, you will lose your life!"

Qin Zhibo thought for a moment, "But if I don't do anything, the other party will call me sooner or later..."

There was a long silence on the other end of the phone, and then someone continued talking a minute later.

"Going undercover is a very dangerous and difficult task. I hope you will consider this matter carefully."

"Aren't you using a fake identity? If you refuse to join, I can arrange for you to disappear, or start over somewhere else."

"So you should think about it again..."

Although Qin Zhibo didn't know the specific relationship between himself and Haneda Yasuharu, Haneda at this time was like a respected elder.

But before deciding to make this call, Qin Zhibo had already considered the pros and cons.

From the perspective of personal gain, the cooperation with MI-GO is the biggest reward for the main task, a full 30000 general skill proficiency and other rewards. It would be a lie to say that he is not tempted.

From a moral point of view, Conan and Haibara Ai are deeply involved in this organization, and it is difficult to convince myself to do nothing.

Especially after seeing Haibara Ai covered in bullets last time, the anger in his heart was not fake.

Let’s get back to our own interests. If that young boy Conan is killed by the Black Organization one day, wouldn’t we have one less “accident maker”?

"If I have to say, I feel like I have a sense of mission."

"After experiencing the previous mission, I feel that I should defeat the Black Organization's conspiracy, no matter what it is..."

Qin Zhibo's two simple sentences made Haneda Yasuharu feel a little unbelievable, and after the disbelief, he was slightly moved.

A sense of mission...

When Qin Zhibo said this word, Haneda Yasuharu felt that it was both unreasonable and expected.

I know that Qin Zhibo used to work for the FBI in the United States, so it is normal for him to have a sense of mission in fighting crime.

The key point is, shouldn’t your lover be America?

And this is Japan...

"Well, before the Black Organization officially calls, you should have time to think about it."

"If you have made up your mind, you can call me if necessary and I will provide you with some help."

This is all Yasuharu Haneda can guarantee now, and this is exactly what Qin Zhibo wants.

"Then... take care."

"You too."

After hanging up the phone, Yasuharu Haneda sat in a chair and thought for a while, then turned around and made another call.

"Old buddy, congratulations on your discharge..."

"Actually, there's something I want to tell you..."

……

The next morning, Qin Zhibo got up as usual.

The Black Organization did not call last night, and it seems that they are not as "eager for talent" as Carl Sanford said.

After washing up, Qin Zhibo sat in the boss chair and turned to look at the metal disc hanging on the office door.

Following Diana Stanley's instructions, Qin Zhibo hung the "old seal" that could exorcise demons where it should be hung.

If a customer asks about the origin of this strange object, you can say that you obtained it when you went to the United States to investigate a case, which can enhance your detective image.

Since I had been away for a while, there was no fresh food left in the office. Yesterday, I was in no mood to buy food because I was waiting for a call from the Black Organization.

So, today Qin Zhibo went to the convenience store early in the morning.

Rice balls, bento boxes, snacks, drinks… Just as I was buying these physical sustenance, a few familiar figures walked into the door of the convenience store.

It’s Ran Mouri, and the young boy Haku…the Detective Team!

Seeing the horned girl whom he had not seen for a long time, Qin Zhibo felt inexplicably happy and walked up to say hello.

"Hey! Ran Mouri!"

"It's Mr. Qin! You're back from America!"

With Conan's loudspeaker broadcast, Mao Lilan also knew that Qin Zhibo went to the United States.

"Yeah... I'm back."

Qin Zhibo turned to look at Conan's head, placed his hand on it quite intimately, rubbed it, and expressed his inner joy of reunion with a smile on his face.

"Conan, long time no see, did you miss me?"

"I haven't seen you for so many days. Have you grown taller?"

Conan showed his half-moon eyes, with a messy hair, and silently complained in his heart.

It had grown a bit, but you pushed it back down...

Conan tried to put the blame on Qin Zhibo for his short height, but the three members of the Junior Detective Team keenly spotted an opportunity when Qin Zhibo came back from the United States.

"Gift--"

The three little ones were not afraid of people. After all, they had several life-and-death encounters with Qin Zhibo, so they naturally spread out their two little hands.

Qin Zhibo had anticipated this a long time ago and said that he had bought some gifts for everyone and placed them in his office.

After hearing this, Conan, who had originally had no expectations, brightened his eyes. What gift would Qin Zhibo choose?

Among all the little ghosts, only Haibara Ai had no expectations for gifts, and her lazy eyes showed that she had no desires or requests.

"correct……"

Qin Zhibo noticed that Mao Lilan and all the members of the Junior Detective League had small backpacks on their backs and asked, "Where are you going?"

"Go survive in the wild!" the three little ones shouted in unison.

Ran Mouri explained that Professor Agasa agreed to take the Junior Detective League to the wild for team building, but because Professor Agasa had to go on a business trip for something urgent, Ran Mouri had to lead the group.

"Well, I'm taking them to the convenience store to buy some food, and we'll leave soon."

When Qin Zhibo heard that the Junior Detective Team had forgotten the pain after their wounds healed and were going out to give it away for free again, he immediately became interested.

"It's too dangerous in the wild. What if a blind bear takes you away?"

"Uncle, let me go with you."

Faced with the application for joining the group handed over by Qin Zhibo, the three little ones who had just heard about the gifts immediately nodded in agreement.

Haibara Ai didn't care and didn't express her opinion, but Conan wanted to ask Qin Zhibo something and agreed.

Seeing that the children all agreed, Mao Lilan asked whether it would delay Qin Zhibo's work. If not, she had no choice but to agree.

that's it……

Qin Zhibo joins the team

Chapter 527: Who led whom astray?

After everyone had purchased their supplies, they gathered at Qin Zhibo's detective agency.

While everyone was waiting for Qin Zhibo to change his clothes, Huihara Ai looked around the office and saw a metal disc hanging on the door.

"look……"

Haibara Ai raised her finger so that Conan could see it too.

"That's the symbol I saw on the school crest on his wallet."

Conan looked up at the metal disc, deep in thought.

After Qin Zhibo put on his unchanging brown windbreaker, he distributed the chocolate candies in his suitcase to everyone.

Mao Lilan and the three little ones thanked them repeatedly and happily put the candies into their backpacks.

Seeing that the chocolate candy Qin Zhibo gave him looked a bit like mushrooms, Kojima Genta suddenly had an idea.

"Why don't we go pick some matsutake mushrooms? My mom said it's the perfect season for them!"

"That sounds good!"

"I'm getting a little tired of surviving in the wild all the time, and bad things always happened when I was surviving in the wild before..."

The other two little ones echoed in agreement, disrupting the originally orderly travel plan. Mao Lilan was a little unsure for a moment and could only ask Qin Zhibo, the oldest one, for advice.

"Mr. Qin, what do you think?"

Qin Zhibo doesn't care, as long as Conan is around.

"It all depends on Conan's thoughts. Wherever Conan is, I will be there."

Conan was a little surprised that Qin Zhibo passed the ball to him, but he agreed.

"If you want to pick matsutake, I know a good place. There's a Headhunting Mountain in the northeastern suburbs of Mihua Town. I used to go there often when I was a kid..."

Before he could finish his words, Conan immediately noticed something was wrong from the puzzled looks of the people around him.

"When I was a child?"

Conan quickly scratched his head and acted cute, "Haha~~ It was when I was younger, actually just a year ago..."

Qin Zhibo was already accustomed to this situation, and told everyone that since the destination had been determined, they should set off quickly.

Conan, who was relieved, and Haibara Ai, who was walking behind on purpose, discussed with each other the issue of "putting on a vest".

This made Mitsuhiko in front a little concerned, and he couldn't help but look back repeatedly.

……

Because there were too many people this time, Qin Zhibo couldn't bring everyone with one car, so he had to take a tourist bus to the hotel in Lietou Mountain.

The hotel staff arranged check-in for us and then took us up the mountain.

"Okay, this is the Matsutake picking area, but in order to protect the ecology here, there are some restrictions on picking."

"Adults can only pick three, and children can pick two. Once you're done, the hotel will prepare them for you."

"One more thing, you must not cross the two barbed wire fences ahead..."

The staff member pointed to the barbed wire fence deep in the forest and said, "That's a hunting area, there are bears..."

Upon hearing this, the three little ones' faces turned stern. It was obvious that they had not seen the TV series "Boonie Bears" and were in awe of bears.

In order to retain tourists, the staff quickly said that the barbed wire fence was absolutely safe and they could rest assured.

After the staff left, Mao Lilan happily started picking fruits with the three little ones.

Haibara Ai took a look at the surrounding environment and immediately wanted to find a place to rest.

Originally she didn't want to come out, especially since it wasn't a group led by Professor Agasa, but Cheng Shi advised children of her age not to stay in the room all the time, so she came out.

After being admitted to Chengshi Hospital yesterday, Haibara Ai asked Chengshi to help her bring some of her things from Dr. Agasa's house to Chengshi Hospital.

These include elementary school students' textbooks, exercise books, and a laptop.

Cheng Shi was surprised that a little kid like Haibara Ai could actually use a laptop computer, something that even many adults didn't understand.

"Xiao Ai, I always feel that you are different from other children I have met..."

This is Asano's evaluation of Haibara Ai after only one day of spending time together, and his tone is somewhat adult.

This also made Haibara Ai a little scared. She wanted to take advantage of this trip to think carefully about how to get along with Dr. Chengji and cover her vest before Dr. Agasa came back.

As for picking matsutake mushrooms, based on my understanding of Kojima Genta, he will definitely pick more to make up for his own share.

Qin Zhibo and Conan also did not go looking for Matsutake immediately.

The two did not have a very deep understanding of Kojima Genta, but they had a deep enough understanding of Matsutake.

Qin Zhibo has a spell to find things.
