Conan Rick's Investigator

Given the organization's style of doing things, this huge sum of money must be tempting.

After all, the price is just to kill an insignificant company president, but the number of presidents who die every day in Japan is too numerous to be counted on one hand.

Qin Zhibo was the killer sent to carry out this mission.

Qin Zhibo used his influence as a famous detective to deceive the police and successfully carried out the assassination mission.

According to this assumption, another phenomenon can also be explained clearly -

At the photography exhibition, Kinoshita Tomonori was very frightened when he saw Qin Zhibo coming.

Since the assassination has been completed, it's time to settle the balance.

Toru Amuro could basically guess what would happen after the final payment was paid.

The assassination is completed - the balance is settled - the "client" is dealt with. This is a complete criminal process.

No matter what kind of transaction it is, almost without exception, those who conduct transactions with the Black Organization end up dying or fleeing overseas and then dying again.

Otherwise, it wouldn't be so difficult for the Black Organization to track down clues, and even the outside world wouldn't be able to detect its existence.

It seems that Tomonori Kinoshita is in danger!

Toru Amuro suddenly widened his eyes, realizing the urgency of the situation, and quickly called Yuya Kazami.

"Investigate Kinoshita Tomonori's current location immediately. I need the information tonight!"

Toru Amuro's tone was a little excited because this matter was of great importance.

If his reasoning is correct, Tomonori Kinoshita is the key witness to Qin Zhibo's crime.

As long as they have this witness, the Japanese police will be able to take the initiative in the game between the Japanese police and the Black Organization.

If necessary, even the close confidants of Qin Zhibo, the boss of the organization, can be arrested!

Of course, these are things to follow.

The top priority now is to find Tomonori Kinoshita and protect him.

After Amuro Toru finished explaining the task, he continued to instruct, "Also, don't tell the higher-ups about this for now, especially not Kuroda..."

"Just arrange two men you trust to do it."

Kazami Yuya was a little confused and asked, "Mr. Furuya, why can't we tell Commander Kuroda?"

"Don't ask so many questions, just execute it." Amuro Toru dismissed Kazami's doubts and encouraged him, "You are my most trusted subordinate. This matter is very important, so I'm giving this task to you."

Yuya Kazami's direct superior is Toru Amuro. The current official is not as good as the current manager, and he is one level lower than the nominal commander Kuroda.

In addition, Kazami has received a lot of care from Amuro Toru, so he has regarded Amuro Toru as the person he respects the most, both in work and in life.

"Yes! I will definitely complete the mission!"

Yuya Kazami hung up the phone, but Toru Amuro still frowned.

In fact, Toru Amuro has never really trusted the "Kuroda" mentioned by the two.

A mentally ill patient who was taken from an American mental hospital was actually airlifted to Japan to be his immediate superior.

It was this man who recommended Qin Zhibo and said that he could try to get in touch with her.

If Qin Zhibo's identity can be confirmed to be a close confidant of the organization's boss, then this person's identity will be a big problem.

Organization boss...

As the "big boss" of the organization, he would not infiltrate the Japanese Public Security Bureau himself.

However, this is possible for the organization's most mysterious second-in-command, a mysterious man codenamed "Rum".

When interacting with "Kuroda", Toru Amuro always felt that this man had an inexplicable and unique temperament.

Beneath those dark lenses and burn scars, there seemed to be some unimaginable secrets hidden...

In short, Toru Amuro does not want to confront his "partner" easily now, and can only take a defensive attitude towards "Kuroda".

It's always better to be careful.

Toru Amuro breathed a sigh of relief again, his gaze returning to the ghost photo on the table.

Although the photo has returned to normal at this time, it still evokes endless associations in Amuro Toru.

What if... the person who used the ghost curse was Qin Zhibo?

Qin Zhibo was present at the two previous ghost murder cases.

Including this time when a ghost appeared above Tomonori Kinoshita's head, Qin Zhibo was also present.

Toru Amuro didn't understand the principle of this unique curse, but according to the information he had previously obtained, the ghost had already set his sights on Tomonori Kinoshita.

While waiting for the "balance" of the assassination to be paid, the ghost will probably end Kinoshita Tomonori's life in that incredible way.

The ghost murders that happened before might have been a rehearsal.

He used the "Curse of the Dead" website to fish, provided the security guard with information about the person who killed his son in a car accident, and provided the gamer with the killing method of pufferfish toxin.

In fact, this was just a rehearsal to find a target for murder.

He solved the case as a famous detective, and then killed the person in front of everyone to prove that the murder curse was indeed feasible.

Supporting Toru Amuro's thoughts is Qin Zhibo's attitude after the Nishitama City twin skyscrapers incident.

In the ballroom of the Twin Towers, both men witnessed strange monsters emerging from the invisible air, reptiles unlike any other creature on Earth.

However, Qin Zhibo remained calm after this incident, as if he was used to it.

If the source of the "ghost" is Qin Zhibo, then everything will be easy to understand.

How could a person who already controls "ghosts" be shocked by "invisible fear"?

Thinking of this, Toru Amuro felt that the opponent he faced this time was stronger than ever before.

Although Gin is cold-blooded and ruthless, he never compromises in carrying out his missions and everyone in the organization is terrified of his name.

But his murderous intent was superficial, and the methods he used were relatively common, such as bombs, snipers, and the like.

Qin Zhibo, on the surface, is a famous detective who represents justice, but secretly he is a necromancer who kills people without leaving any trace.

It is clear who poses the greater threat.

Now, Toru Amuro could understand why Qin Zhibo was able to surpass them, the organization's cadres, and become a trusted subordinate closer to the organization's boss.

Vermouth's concerns were correct.

However, what puzzled Toru Amuro was why such a person would save himself when his negative emotions exploded and he wanted to commit suicide on the top of the Twin Skyscrapers.

What is the purpose?

Could it be that I have been ghosted by him as well?

Amuro Toru subconsciously walked into the bathroom, supported the edge of the sink with both hands, and faced the mirror.

A cold, dark face was reflected in the clean mirror.

Looking up, Toru Amuro could not see any ghost.

Maybe I'm overthinking...

In fact, it is very simple to determine whether you are cursed. All you need to do is take a selfie.

But Toru Amuro was somewhat reluctant to do so.

Or maybe they are afraid, afraid of seeing a ghostly figure like a skull above their head.

Turning on the faucet, Toru Amuro scooped up a handful of water with both hands and splashed it on his face.

Tonight, I am destined to get less sleep again.

……

Metropolitan Police Department, interrogation room.

Inspector Megure did not leave his get off work, but interrogated the man who followed Qin Zhibo all night.

After all, he's the one who broke into the National Police Agency to steal information and had ill intentions towards my two brothers. We can't ignore him.

In the interrogation room, Sato Miwako and Takagi Wataru were in charge of the interrogation.

Among them, Sato was responsible for playing the bad guy, Takagi was responsible for the good guy and recording, and they jointly launched an offensive against the criminals' psychology.

On the other side of the double-sided glass in the interrogation room, Inspector Megure and Qin Zhibo remained standing, watching the interrogation going on across the glass.

Takagi: "Excuse me, what is your name..."

Ishida: "..."

Sato: "Name!"

Ishida: "Ishida..."

Sato: "Ishida what?"

Ishida: "Ishida, Masatsugu..."

Sato: "Occupation?"

Ishida: "Taxi, driver."

Sato: "What were you doing from 10 to 12 last night?"

Ishida: "I, I'm at home..."

Sato: "Really? I'm warning you, everything you say here will be used as evidence in court. You must be careful with your words. If it's proven that something you say is not true, it could be detrimental to your conviction."

Ishida: "Are you still going to sentence me?"

Zuo Teng: "Humph, do you think your sins are small?"

Takagi: "Mr. Ishida, you should listen to Officer Sato and tell the truth. Maybe you can get leniency..."

Sato: "What were you doing yesterday?"

Ishida: "Outside the Tomohiro Detective Agency...watching Tomohiro..."

Zuo Teng: "Why are you monitoring Qin Zhibo?"

Ishida: "Because...someone asked me to do this..."

Sato: "Who is it?"

Ishida: "Kinoshita Tomori..."

……

Ishida's mouth had been "pried" open, and the rest of the interrogation work was much easier.

Inspector Megure on Glass's side was a little puzzled. Logically speaking, anyone who could sneak into the National Police Agency must be a master, and his psychological quality should not be so bad.

But Sato and Takagi were able to get the person to confess with just a simple scare.

Although the content of his confession still needs to be verified, judging from his slightly trembling calves, this guy's mental quality is not strong.

"Kinoshita Tomonori..." Officer Megure turned to look at Qin Zhibo beside him, "Brother Qin, do you know this person?"

Qin Zhibo pretended not to know him and shook his head in confusion, "I don't know..."

"Officer Megure, please continue the interrogation here. I'm leaving now."

"Please call me tomorrow to let me know if there are any results."

Officer Megure was stunned for a moment, then quickly asked, "Brother Qin, are you going back now?"

"Ah."

Qin Zhibo stood at the door of the observation room and turned around and said, "I have to go on a business trip tomorrow, so I can't sleep too late..."

……

In his single apartment, Toru Amuro was still waiting for his subordinates' reply.

Suddenly, the phone on the coffee table rang.

"Mr. Furuya, I found out!"

"According to the content of the call, Kinoshita Tomonori is now in Gunma Prefecture!"
