Conan Rick's Investigator

Qin Zhibo had already tasted the magic prop he made - the heart-capturing chocolate, and it was impossible for him to accept any other chocolate.

"Okay, I'll go first."

After finishing her work, Koizumi Akako waved her hand with satisfaction and left, leaving behind a queen-like graceful back.

Returning to the stretched Maybach parked downstairs, Koizumi Hongzi couldn't help but smile again at her own invincible charm.

“Oh ho ho ho—”

"There really is no man in this world who can resist my charm!"

Except for Kaito Kidd...

Unfortunately, I still couldn't make that man my captive on this Valentine's Day.

Some regrets...

The butler glanced at Koizumi Akako's thoughtful face through the rearview mirror and stepped on the accelerator.

"Master Hongzi, I'm back home..."

……

On the second floor of the office, Toru Amuro stood sideways by the window, glancing at the stretched Maybach that drove away.

She seems to be a rich lady...

However, unlike Suzuki Sonoko's down-to-earth personality, this rich lady really loves to put on airs.

I don’t know why, but Toru Amuro doesn’t feel disgusted with Koizumi Akako.

Even think it's a little cute?

Toru Amuro shook his head and felt that his brain seemed to be a little out of shape.

Didn’t you get enough rest last night?

Because he discovered a big scandal from the photos taken by paparazzi last night, Toru Amuro stayed up until three in the morning, got up at five in the morning for morning exercises, and only slept for two hours.

No matter how strong your physique is, you can't survive by sleeping only 2 hours a day.

I have to go to Yotsuya later to get the processed ghost photos, so it’s not good to go there too late.

Ghost...

The corners of Amuro Toru's mouth rose slightly, and he chuckled at himself.

I never expected that in the mind of a police officer like me, such an unrealistic word as "ghost" would appear so easily and naturally.

If Kazami knew that he believed in "ghosts", he would probably find it very incredible...

But in fact, Toru Amuro believes that another part of this world did not form overnight.

From the moment he witnessed the arrival of Roinger, his worldview was destined to be reshaped.

Now Toru Amuro's worldview has been updated to Earth 2.0 version.

……

"Teacher, it's four o'clock."

"If there's nothing else, I'll leave first."

As he was speaking, Toru Amuro had already put on his coat.

This made Shinname Kaori and Asami Minoru feel a little uncomfortable on the sofa. After Amuro Toru left, only Qin Zhibo was left.

After what Koizumi Akako had done just now, it was obvious that the chocolate could not be delivered. It would be better to retreat quickly to avoid sitting here in embarrassment.

"Um...I'm leaving too. Sorry to bother you."

"Me too. I have to go back and make dinner for Ai."

Shinname Kaori and Asano Minami stood up one after another and followed Amuro Toru out of the office together.

When the office returned to silence, Qin Zhibo, who was sitting on the sofa, realized that something was wrong.

What exactly are Xinming and Chengshi here for?

……

At dusk, Ma Chengshi returned to Chengshi Hospital and hurried to the kitchen.

In the corridor, Haibara Ai, who had finished her homework long ago, walked out of the bedroom.

"Ai, are you hungry?"

"I'll start cooking now."

Of course, Haibara Ai was not hungry, she was just a little concerned about whether Masamichi had successfully conveyed his feelings to someone.

Following Chengshi to the kitchen, Haibara Ai saw the package on the workbench, which was still in the same state as when she left.

"You didn't give the chocolate away?"

"Ah."

Ma Chengshi was busy washing and cutting vegetables with his head down.

Huiyuan Ai stood at the kitchen door and asked again: "Why didn't you send it?"

Cheng Shi smiled slightly and said in a relaxed tone: "Because my chocolate will cause trouble to Mr. Qin."

"Mr. Qin has already received chocolates from other people. If he receives chocolates from me, he will probably feel embarrassed, right?"

Haibara Ai stared at Cheng Shi's busy back, without saying a word, and turned back to her room silently.

……

Late at night, Qin Zhibo was training Krav Maga with his Stand user on the third floor as usual.

Since his last fight with Kyogoku Makoto, who is considered the ceiling of humanity, Qin Zhibo has also realized his own shortcomings.

Although my own tricks can often achieve unexpected results.

But facing the real top masters, it is still not enough.

As the old saying goes, one can defeat ten skills with one's strength.

Besides, his level 3 Krav Maga wasn't even a tenth level skill, at best, it was only a third level skill.

Since we know that it is entirely possible for humans to break through the power limit of 100, we might as well work towards this goal ourselves.

However, it takes a lot of proficiency to upgrade a single skill to the highest level 10.

Qin Zhibo's current Krav Maga level is 3, and 4000 proficiency is considered full.

接下来是8000、16000、32000、64000、128000、256000。

To upgrade Krav Maga to Max, at least 504 million proficiency is required.

At the current rate of proficiency improvement, even with the help of a Stand User, this is a despairing number.

However, Qin Zhibo also thought of a possibility.

The idea that time would stop was true if he didn't gather enough general proficiency to buy the last item of the week.

I can live forever and train all my skills to the Max level.

Investigation (Max), Mythology (Max), Krav Maga (Max), Driving (Max), Speech (Max), Persuasion (Max), Music (Max)...

By that time, how far will I be from "God"?

……

Just when Qin Zhibo was practicing self-discipline, there was a sudden knock on the door.

The knocking sound did not come from the office on the second floor, but from outside the living area on the third floor.

Qin Zhibo subconsciously ran to the window and took a look at the street outside.

People were coming and going on the street, but the only person missing was the one that Tomonori Kinoshita had sent to monitor him.

Could it be that they can’t wait any longer and are preparing to launch a violent attack?

Qin Zhibo walked quietly to the door and focused his eyes on the peephole on the door.

There was no human figure under the incandescent light at the door, only the slightly mottled gray wall opposite the door.

Hiding by the door?

Qin Zhibo knew that some professionals would hide by the door and knock, but would not answer any questions.

While the person inside is confused and opens the door to check, they take the opportunity to break into the house.

Those who use this silent method are usually criminals, and the police have other tricks to break into houses.

For example, in the United States, it's, "FBI! Open the door!"

In China, it's like, "Open the door, check the water meter!" or "Community warmth!"

The people outside are silent, so they are most likely members of the Voodoo sect.

Snap, snap, snap——

There were three more knocks on the door. Qin Zhibo had already taken out the crowbar, ready at any time.

But at this moment, the little loli's voice suddenly sounded outside.

"Don't hide in there and keep silent. I know you are home."

"Open the door."

Although there was a door between them, Qin Zhibo still felt that the voice was familiar.

I walked forward and unlocked the door, then lowered my head and saw that it was indeed my childhood friend, Haibara Ai.

"How did you come?"

The moment Qin Zhibo opened the door, he put the crowbar behind him and then quietly put it back into the prop bar.

"I came to see you..."

Haibara Ai didn't say anything, but walked around Qin Zhibo's legs, walked into the room, and sniffed the air in the house.

There is no scent of woman's perfume. Am I overthinking it?

"...Have you done anything wrong?" Haibara Ai gasped for breath before she said the second half of the sentence.

Qin Zhibo closed the door and said helplessly, "What could I possibly have done that was wrong? I'm a completely upright gentleman..."

Haibara Ai ignored Qin Zhibo's self-praise and looked around.

Ever since I met Qin Zhibo, it is rare for me to come to Qin Zhibo's residence, so naturally I want to see what the environment is like.

The first person who picked me up was Qin Zhibo. If it weren't for the doctor taking me in, this place would probably be my residence.

Haibara Ai was feeling emotional in her heart, her eyes falling on the wooden man in the living room.

"Do you usually practice martial arts?"

"As a detective, you should practice a little."

Haibara Ai did not express her opinion, but silently admired Qin Zhibo's self-discipline in her heart.

Turning her gaze again, Haibara Ai saw one of the rooms leading to the living room. The doors of the other rooms were open, but this door was tightly closed.

"What's that room for?"

The room that Haibara Ai pointed to was the room where the original owner of this body held some kind of ceremony related to "the one who returns all things to one."

The paint used to draw the magic circle on the floor of the room could not be removed, so Qin Zhibo thought of buying a carpet to cover it.

However, I haven't found a carpet of the right size yet, so I can only lock the door of the room.

Qin Zhibo certainly couldn't let Huiyuan Ai see inside the room, so he could only casually say, "It's just an empty room, no big deal."

Haibara Ai frowned slightly, and a hint of doubt flashed in her eyes.

"Is it true? Can I go in and take a look?"

Qin Zhibo smiled slightly, "Isn't that necessary?"

Seeing that Qin Zhibo refused to give in, Huihara Ai felt even more suspicious, and her slightly narrowed eyes seemed to want to kill someone.

Qin Zhibo seems to be about the same age as the Hu Tu detective next door, both of them are uncles.

Men of this age, even if they don't get married, must have some way to satisfy their physical needs.
