Conan Rick's Investigator

Looking at Qin Zhibo's fluent technique, Fenchuan was a little surprised.

"Your technique is very skilled, almost as good as a professional photographer like me."

"You're too kind. I usually track targets in my job, and developing photos independently is a basic skill."

Qin Zhibo arranged a reasonable application scenario for the source of his skills, which reduced Fenchuan's surprise a little.

"Yeah, I heard that being a detective requires you to know a bit of everything..."

"more or less."

Qin Zhibo remained silent, then asked casually, "You seemed to have mentioned before that you were Mr. Eryuan's personal photographer. Why didn't you accompany Mr. Eryuan to photograph the Japanese wolves this time?"

When this matter was mentioned, Fenchuan's eyes changed slightly and his expression was stunned for a moment.

After a two-second pause, Fenchuan replied weakly, "It's because of something..."

Qin Zhibo put the developer in the measuring cup aside, turned his head and looked at Fonakawa, and asked solemnly, "Actually, Mr. Nigaki doesn't want to shoot Japanese wolves, right?"

Qin Zhibo had seen Eryuan's movements when taking photos in the guard totem. He never looked at the ground, but stared intently at the tree.

Or rather, staring at the sky.

No matter how much the Japanese wolf evolves, it will never be able to run up a tree or into the sky.

After Qin Zhibo finished speaking, Fenchuan's body trembled slightly, and after a long time he slowly nodded.

"Eryuan told me not to tell anyone about this..."

"Two years ago, Eryuan and I were filming a documentary about forest wildlife protection, so we came to the vicinity of this villa."

"But in the forest near the villa, we saw something even more incredible than wild animals..."

"It was a pink creature with giant wings just flying through the sky."

"Its flying speed wasn't slow. I didn't see it clearly. It might be a bug or something else, but it's definitely not any known creature on Earth."

"Eryuan asked me to take a quick picture. I was so nervous and surprised that I froze for a moment before I raised my camera and took the picture."

"But when I got back and developed the photos, there wasn't anything captured in the photos. There were only some blurry spots in the sky where the creature had flown past."

"Eryuan insisted that I missed the best time to shoot, and since then, we have parted ways..."

After listening to Fenchuan's story, Qin Zhibo roughly understood what happened.

The pink creature that Eryuan and Fanchuan saw should be Mi-GO.

Mi-GO is made of a different type of matter, and its body has a different electronic vibration frequency, so ordinary film cannot capture its image.

Previously at Shanni Temple, a monk also said that a tourist took a picture of something, but it could not be seen in the photo.

Eryuan and Fanchuan have seen Mi-GO before, which means that there are indeed Mi-GOs here.

As for now, MI-GO won't leave a mountain until it's completely cleared of its special minerals.

"So you and Mr. Eryuan were a couple before, and broke up because of this reason?" Qin Zhibo guessed.

Fenchuan was startled, and quickly shook his head, denying it: "Niyuan and I are simply work colleagues. I had a boyfriend before..."

"Before?" Qin Zhibo realized the key point in the words.

Fenchuan nodded with a heavy expression, "Four years ago, there was an avalanche accident. My boyfriend Xia Ye and the owner of this mountain villa died..."

"Oh..." Qin Zhibo remembered that the old woman seemed to have mentioned that her husband died four years ago, "I'm sorry."

"It's okay." Fenchuan forced a smile on his face, "I've let it go now..."

Your expression doesn't look relieved.

Qin Zhibo didn't express his inner judgment, but instead asked, "What about Miss Yazi? When did she become Mr. Eryuan's girlfriend?"

"It was about half a year before the avalanche. Ako is Natsuya's sister. It was through Ako's introduction that I started working with Nigaki."

"Oh……"

Qin Zhibo nodded, figuring out the relationship between these characters, and continued developing the photos.

Develop the film first, then take the photos.

"It's time to turn off the lights."

"Ah."

The lights in the small restroom suddenly went out. Although some fluorescent stickers had been put up to mark the location in advance, Funakawa still needed to let his eyes adapt to the darkness first.

Qin Zhibo's method is more convenient. He can simply turn on the night vision goggles and start working easily.

……

At the same time, the people waiting in the living room were also talking.

Conan still didn't give up on the VCR issue. Although Qin Zhibo was throwing a smokescreen for him, it also reminded him that the VCR should have the tape recorded before.

At Conan's reminder, Kogoro Mouri borrowed the previous videotape and started watching it.

But the content inside was a vlog of a few people making chocolate yesterday. It made Kogoro Mouri yawn and feel sleepy in waves.

At this time, something mentioned by the hunter duo excited everyone present.

"Oh, by the way, before I met up with you, I saw a suspicious guy in the forest..."

"He was wearing a black knitted hat, was quite large, and had something on his shoulders."

"I thought it was a bear and almost shot it..."

With just a few words, the glasses hunter made everyone in the villa reach the extreme of fear.

However, the bald hunter turned to comfort him, "Don't worry, it's snowing so hard outside now. That guy has nowhere to stay overnight. He will come to the villa sooner or later."

"Then he will reveal his true colors..."

……

Outside the villa, the wind and snow were still blowing, and a tall figure stepped resolutely on the snow.

The cold wind blew across the man's angular face like a knife, but it couldn't bring out a trace of hesitation.

A normal person would find a warm place on such a snowy day, but the man carried a tent on his shoulders and prepared to sleep outside.

The man's name is Kyogoku Makoto, he is Suzuki Sonoko's suitor and also her potential boyfriend.

The two officially met during a beach trip and established an ambiguous relationship that was more than just friends.

But some time ago, Kyogoku Makoto went abroad to participate in an international karate competition, and his relationship with Suzuki Sonoko began long-distance.

There is no need to say much about the disadvantages of long-distance relationships. In short, the relationship between the two quickly cools down and they contact each other less and less.

Until today, a gossip newspaper photo sent by a friend this morning completely ignited Kyogoku Makoto's little universe.

That was a photo of Suzuki Sonoko snuggling up to another dark-skinned man.

Kyogoku Makoto, who was so angry that he was green with envy, no longer had the heart to compete and immediately took the earliest flight back to Japan.

Chapter 691 Kyogoku Shinfeng Snow Mountain Temple

Although I was in Japan and had just gotten off the plane, it was not difficult to find the garden.

Suzuki Sonoko had already left a message on the phone to tell Kyogoku Makoto, who was far away abroad, that she would go to Fukito Sanso, which was said to be very effective, to make a chocolate by herself on Valentine's Day.

However, he didn't say who the chocolate was for.

He didn't even tell me who he was going to the villa with.

Kyogoku Makoto instinctively thought it was the dark-skinned man, and Suzuki Sonoko was going to be with the dark-skinned man...

Falling in love with a wild horse, the whole sky is like grassland above my head.

But what can be done?

Of course I choose to forgive her!

So Kyogoku Makoto was not here to call Suzuki Sonoko to account, but to see whether this man was worthy of Suzuki Sonoko and whether he was qualified to be Sonoko's man.

As for how to check the qualifications of this dark-skinned man, maybe... a duel?

As a hot-blooded warrior, this is the only way Kyogoku can think of. After all, humans are also animals.

The most common way for animals to compete for the favor of the opposite sex is to fight, and only the winner has the right to mate.

But considering that if he were to compete with that man, if Sonoko were there, she might advise him to "stop fighting."

So Kyogoku Makoto didn't want to show up directly, but instead found an opportunity when the other party was alone and had a 1v1 fight to scare away the suitor without Sonoko's knowledge.

So, after getting off the plane, Kyogoku Makoto quickly bought a tent and headed straight to Fukito Villa.

Before dusk, Kyogoku Makoto finally arrived at Fukito Villa, carrying a newly bought tent and some simple survival tools.

While scouting around the villa, we met a hunter wandering in the forest, but the two sides just greeted each other and did not speak to each other.

After the snowstorm started, everyone in the villa suddenly rushed out, which made Kyogoku Makoto think it was a good opportunity.

But when they arrived at the back door, they found that there was a kid wearing glasses staying in the villa. It was Conan, whom they had met last time at the beach.

Not wanting to expose his existence, Kyogoku Makoto could only choose to leave quietly.

……

Now, the wind and snow are getting heavier.

Everyone in the villa returned to the villa and it seemed that they would not come out again until the wind and snow stopped.

Kyogoku Makoto had to prepare for the worst, which was to sleep outdoors in the mountains on a snowy day.

However, Kyogoku Makoto had thought of this a long time ago and prepared tents and survival tools for this purpose.

Around the villa, Kyogoku Makoto found a slightly flat area, hammered in the ground pegs to fix the tent, and then pitched the tent.

After getting into the tent, taking off his scarf and goggles, Kyogoku Makoto simply ate a few compressed biscuits, took some snow water from the surrounding area, put it in a cup and waited for it to melt.

While waiting for the snow to melt, Kyogoku Makoto lay in his sleeping bag, looking at the tent swaying in the wind above his head.

Huhu——

The howling sound of wind and snow rang in his ears, but Kyogoku Makoto's mind had already drifted to another place.

Although they officially met when they worked part-time at the seaside store last time, Kyogoku Makoto and Sonoko's first meeting was earlier.

It was at the karate competition between Haido High School and Teitan High School. Sonoko's loud cheering for her friend moved Kyogoku deeply and he fell in love with her at first sight.

If I had asked for contact information, it would have been better...

If you get the contact information earlier, you can become friends earlier.

At that time, I would have to stay in Japan for a long time, and I could use this time to consolidate the relationship between the two sides.

This way, you won’t be poached by a third party after studying abroad.

Kyogoku Makoto silently recalled why he was cuckolded, and attributed the reason to his lack of initiative, which led to the missed opportunity.

Just as Kyogoku Makoto was thinking about how to make amends, a strong gust of wind suddenly blew away a corner of the ground nail.

Immediately afterwards, another ground nail was blown up, and the tent that was originally fully covered was instantly half-lifted off, and the wind and snow raged again.

Kyogoku Makoto quickly climbed out of his sleeping bag, looked back at the dilapidated camp, and knew that this place was no longer a place to stay.

The wind and snow were so strong that the tent could not be pitched firmly in the thick snow layer with only the palms of the hands to hammer the ground pegs, and it was easily blown away.

There are now two options before Kyogoku Makoto. One is to go to the villa and expose his identity, and the other is to find a place sheltered from the wind to set up a tent.

After thinking about it, Kyogoku Makoto decided to continue trying it in the wild.

Having made up his mind, he quickly gathered up the half-blown tent, sleeping bag and other survival tools and put them back on his shoulders.

Before it got dark, Kyogoku Makoto remembered that when he was scouting around the villa, he encountered a big rock.

The stone was more than three meters in diameter, just enough to provide a shelter from the wind.

Kyogoku Makoto did what he said. He determined the direction in the dark snowy night and walked towards the big rock.

……

After walking for an unknown amount of time in the howling wind and snow, Kyogoku Makoto finally saw the hazy black shadow in the distance.

When I got closer, I saw that it was the big rock.
