Conan Rick's Investigator

"Huh?" Amuro Toru was stunned for a moment, "There's a camera installed in the teacher's room?"

"Yeah, all my wealth is in my bedroom, how can I not be careful?"

Seeing Qin Zhibo nodding as a matter of course, Amuro Toru felt a little relieved, relieved that he had not had time to pry the lock and get in.

Qin Zhibo opened the bedroom door and went in to get something. Amuro Toru curiously stuck his head out to take a look, and sure enough, he saw a commercial security-level surveillance camera in the corner of the room, which even turned its head by itself.

Toru Amuro: "..."

When Toru Amuro was attracted by the camera in the corner, Qin Zhibo had already put the things he was going to take into his pocket, walked out and locked the door again.

"I'm leaving now, Amuro."

"is teacher."

Qin Zhibo left the office again and got into a taxi parked at the door.

Toru Amuro stared at the taxi driving away by the window, picked up the phone and dialed the number again.

"Kazami, you don't need to take the lock picking tools..."

……

In the taxi, Qin Zhibo rearranged the "Michael Bay" human skin mask he had just taken from the office like folding a quilt and put it in his inner pocket.

Knowing that Toru Amuro was going to move into his office, Qin Zhibo had to be on guard. He bought surveillance cameras yesterday afternoon and installed them in his room.

Of course, this camera is more of a deterrent.

If this camera is used to find out that Toru Amuro sneaked into his room, he would have to be fired no matter what.

This is not the result Qin Zhibo wants to see. A free worker who can help him realize his idle business is something a conscientious boss cannot miss.

So when he left the office for the first time, Qin Zhibo deliberately exposed a flaw and used the [detective's eavesdropping device] to detect that Amuro Toru had ideas about his bedroom, so he immediately asked the taxi to drive back.

As long as he tells Toru Amuro about the surveillance camera, he won't dare to break in easily, and he won't have to make the relationship between the two parties too awkward.

In his bedroom, Qin Zhibo kept things that he couldn't easily show to others, such as tools for making human skin masks and a sprayer to kill MI-GO...

After dealing with the "naughty" Toru Amuro, Qin Zhibo took a taxi to Jianggutian Town.

……

Jianggutian Town, Hei Yu family.

At the desk, Kuroba Kaito's fingers moved nimbly across the keyboard.

On the computer screen, a super luxury house with a classic British style appeared in the photo, and its luxury was astonishing.

The page's title, in bold, eye-catching black font, reads: [Exposed! The tycoon Karasuma Renya's legacy mansion—Twilight Annex]

On the webpage, beautiful photos taken from a bird's-eye view are presented, with a small amount of text below each photo as an explanation.

Kuroba Kaito's finger kept sliding the mouse wheel, faster and faster, and he gradually lost his patience.

When he turned to the bottom of the page, he couldn't help scratching his messy hair.

"Really?! How could someone steal something so mindlessly? What on earth is Karasuma Renya's treasure?"

A few days ago, Terai Kōnosuke, who always provides targets for Kaito Kid, mentioned the tycoon Karasuma Renya from half a century ago to Kuroba Kaito.

Karasuma Renya collected a large number of artworks during his lifetime, but died in unclear circumstances in his later years and was said to have no heirs, so the countless treasures he left behind disappeared into history.

Since he is a tycoon who likes collecting, Kuroba Kaito thought that he must have the legendary big gem.

Maybe there is the stone of life that the animal organization wants - Pandora?

Adhering to the principle of stealing when in doubt, Kuroba Kaito began to collect information about Karasuma Renya's treasure.

It’s a pity that so far we have only found out that Karasuma Renya has a super luxury mansion called Twilight Annex.

The mansion remained unsold at auction for decades after Karasuma Ren'ya's death, and was only bought in recent years by an anonymous private buyer.

Could the treasure be here?

If it doesn't work, then go check it out. Anyway, I have nothing to do recently...

Kuroba Kaito was thinking about his next theft plan in his mind, when the doorbell rang at the entrance.

It should be Qingzi, right? Maybe she made something delicious to share with me...

Kuroba Kaito licked his lips greedily, closed the computer screen, got up and went to the entrance to open the door.

But when the door opened, he was shocked.

It turned out to be Qin Zhibo!

"Why is it you?" Kuroba Kaito glared

"Why can't it be me?"

"No...how do you know my address?"

My previous meetings with Qin Zhibo were all near the high school or the Blue Parrot Bar. This was the first time that Qin Zhibo appeared at my doorstep.

"Koizumi Hongzi told me." Qin Zhibo replied.

Kuroba Kaito: "..."

When did that woman know my home address?

Helplessly, Kuroba Kaito could only invite Qin Zhibo in, so as to prevent Nakamori Ginzo, who lived next door, from discovering that he had contact with Qin Zhibo and thus arousing some unnecessary suspicion.

"What are you doing at my house?"

Kuroba Kaito asked as he stuck his head out of the window like a thief to check if anyone was following him.

"I want you to help me make a few more human skin masks exactly like this one." Qin Zhibo took out the "Michael Bay" mask from his inner pocket.

"Oh, and there's a driver's license, give me one too."

Looking at Qin Zhibo's self-assured look, Kuroba Kaito felt helpless.

"Brother, you really think this place is a criminal den for manufacturing illegal items at will..."

Qin Zhibo spread his hands and replied with a puzzled expression, "Uh... isn't it?"

Kuroba Kaito: "..."

you are vicious!

Chapter 541: Pickman's Model

As we all know, Dr. Agasa's house and Kuroba Kaito's house are the two major dens for producing illegal items in Tokyo.

In terms of the types of illegal items produced, Dr. Agasa is more inclined towards future technology, while Kaito Kuroba is more traditional craftsmanship.

Human skin masks, fake IDs, fake uniforms, magic props... these are the traditional strengths of the Hei Yu family.

Qin Zhibo was brought into the house by Kuroba Kaito, and Qin Zhibo saw the investigation point on the life-size portrait of magician Kuroba Toichi hanging on one wall.

【Topographic Survey√】

[Push the door and enter, there is a surprise inside]

Before Qin Zhibo could finish his words, Kuroba Kaito reached out and pushed the life-size portrait of Kuroba Toichi on the wall.

When the pressure reaches the standard, the portrait rotates like a revolving door, revealing the other side of the portrait.

The other side also has a life-size portrait of Kuroba Toichi, but his skin has been changed into Kaito Kid's battle robe. His handsome appearance under the moonlight arouses people's endless imagination.

"come in."

Kuroba Kaito turned around and looked at Qin Zhibo who was standing in front of the portrait.

Just when he thought Qin Zhibo was admiring his father's heroic appearance and felt a little proud in his heart, Qin Zhibo asked him an unexpected question.

"Can your father paint? Or can your mother paint?"

“…Probably not.”

"Then Mr. Terai will do it?"

Kuroba Kaito scratched his head. He had only heard that Father Terai was a good billiard player when he was young, but painting was...

"No way...what's wrong?"

Kuroba Kaito didn't understand the meaning of Qin Zhibo's questions, and there was a puzzled look in his eyes.

At this time, Qin Zhibo looked over at Kuroba Kaito and said, "That's strange. Who created these two portraits of your father?"

"The magician's painting is easy to understand, but if this painting of Kaito Kidd was also created by someone else, then..."

Qin Zhibo didn't finish his words, leaving the rest to Kuroba Kaito to experience on his own.

Kuroba Kaito, who was quite intelligent, immediately understood what Qin Zhibo meant. If this painting was neither painted by the Kuroba couple themselves nor by Terai Huangzhisuke...

That means that more than ten years ago, a fourth person knew the true identity of the first Kaito Kid!

Kuroba Kaito's mind was a little dazed. Ever since he could remember, this portrait had been hanging in his home, and he had been staring at the other side of the portrait for the past few months.

I only now understand the other meaning of this painting!

If this person knew that Kuroba Toichi was dead and Kaito Kidd had returned to the world, he would definitely suspect that Kuroba Toichi's son was the culprit, that is, himself.

"never mind……"

Qin Zhibo patted the stunned Kuroba Kaito on the shoulder and consoled him, "Since this person has drawn your father so handsomely, he must be one of his admirers. He won't cause you any trouble."

"Let's get down to business."

After Qin Zhibo's comfort, Kuroba Kaito temporarily suppressed the various thoughts in his mind and went to the workbench to start working.

The first thing to be made is a human skin mask.

There are a large number of plaster statues of human heads here at Kuroba Kaito's place, including Ginzo Nakamori, Aoko Nakamori, Shintaro Chaki... Every member of the foundation-building team has one, even Conan's.

"This Conan...can you use it?" Qin Zhibo asked, pointing at "Conan".

It is obvious that the most difficult obstacle that Kuroba Kaito cannot overcome in his attempt to disguise himself as Conan is that Conan is a dwarf.

Unexpectedly, Kuroba Kaito gave a sinister smile and explained, "This is to play a prank on Officer Nakamori and, by the way, 'infringe' on the kid's portrait rights."

Qin Zhibo sweated and continued to ask: "What about Maori Kogoro and Maori Ran? You disguised yourself as Maori Ran on the Suzuki family's ship last time..."

Kuroba Kaito pointed at the plaster statue of Nakamori Aoko and said, "This one will do, it's universal..."

Qin Zhibo nodded in understanding, "So, Maori Kogoro also directly used Nakamori Ginzo?"

"correct!"

Kuroba Kaito's joyful expression made Qin Zhibo wonder, "Did you also make a plaster statue of me?"

As soon as Qin Zhibo asked this question, Kuroba Kaito immediately nervously used his body to block the area under the workbench, with cold sweat breaking out on his forehead.

"No, no!"

"Really? I don't believe it..."

Qin Zhibo walked forward and lifted the curtain under the workbench, and more plaster statues came into view. The facial features of one of them were exactly his own.

Terrible!

Kuroba Kaito exclaimed inwardly.

However, Qin Zhibo held his own plaster statue in his hands, looked at it for a while, and shook his head regretfully.

"It's still a little lacking in quality, and not as handsome as I am..."

"Really? I don't believe it!"

Kuroba Kaito, whose professional skills were questioned, immediately walked over to argue, and Qin Zhibo also expressed his opinion and pointed out some facial details that can only be noticed when washing and looking in the mirror every day.

"Here's the nose..."

"Here are the ears..."

"Eyes should..."

After a long time, Kuroba Kaito felt that his understanding of Qin Zhibo's face had been further sublimated.

Making a plaster statue of a human head is the most important step in making a human skin mask. Only by doing this can one achieve the level of being able to disguise anything.

However, using plaster to copy human facial features in three dimensions requires a lot of talent and sufficient understanding of art and sculpture.
