Conan Rick's Investigator

Looking at Ryohei Matsumoto wearing a bald mask, Qin Zhibo felt that his skills still had a lot of room for improvement.

The skin texture could be made more realistic, the eyebrows aren't glued together harmoniously, and the corners of the mouth aren't quite right...

There are so many minor flaws that if you look closely, you'd wonder if it's a fake face.

After making this human skin mask, Qin Zhibo found that his proficiency in disguise had also increased by 70 points.

70 points of proficiency in one hour, this speed is quite fast.

Next, it’s time for Qin Zhibo to test the content.

First, Qin Zhibo noticed that when Matsumoto Ryohei wore this human skin mask, Matsumoto Ryohei's personal information was not displayed above his head.

It's the same situation with passersby wearing helmets or bandaged weirdos.

As long as the head is largely obscured and the true face cannot be seen, the person's information will not appear in the field of vision.

The human skin mask made by Qin Zhibo is a completely fabricated face. This person does not exist in the world.

Therefore, this human skin mask is calculated according to face coverings such as helmets and masks.

When the human skin mask is not a fabrication, but is made based on someone's face and is realistic enough, the information of the human skin mask is displayed in the field of vision.

Like the silver fox disguised as Rokuda Shoji.

but……

Qin Zhibo walked up to Matsumoto Ryohei and stretched out his hand: "Come, shake hands with me."

Ryohei Matsumoto obediently stretched out his hand.

When the two hands were clasped together, information about Ryohei Matsumoto himself appeared one by one.

This shows that no matter how powerful the disguise technique is, it is afraid of the investigation function that comes into direct contact with the skin.

I see……

If Qin Zhibo had had direct contact with Rokuta Masashi once, he would have been able to expose Rokuta Masashi's fake identity on the spot.

After finishing the experiment, Matsumoto Ryohei asked Qin Zhibo for the bald human face mask, saying that he would use it.

And Matsumoto Ryohei issued a special "commission" to Qin Zhibo.

The content of the commission is "viewing the house".

Chapter 84 Picked up two little ones...

"Well, my father's student passed away five years ago and left behind a villa."

"Recently, his relatives contacted me and asked me to go and see the current condition of the house."

"It's just that there's been too much going on at the art museum lately and I can't spare the time, so I wanted to ask you to go take a look."

After Matsumoto Ryohei's explanation, Qin Zhibo finally understood.

As far as Qin Zhibo knows, Matsumoto Ryohei's father was a university history professor who disappeared during an overseas archaeological expedition.

only……

"Don't your father's students have wives and children? Why are you asking outsiders to look at houses?"

"Hmm..." Matsumoto Ryohei pondered, "Actually, my father's student didn't die of natural causes. He was murdered at home by a robber."

"The robber's whereabouts remain unknown. His wife and children have moved away, and even relatives cannot contact them."

It wasn't a difficult task, and the house was located at 4-chome in Beika-cho, which was the next block to his office.

So Qin Zhibo agreed.

……

Qin Zhibo returned to the office in Matsumoto Ryohei's car and confirmed that the Nine Angels had not given him any new tasks.

It was daytime now, and Qin Zhibo was not in a hurry to go to the next block to look at the villas.

Because there is a big difficulty in the commission given by Matsumoto Ryohei, that is, there is no key to the front door outside the villa, only the key inside.

This means that if Qin Zhibo was discovered climbing over the wall during the day, he would most likely be misunderstood as breaking into an empty house.

It is better to have less trouble than more, so Qin Zhibo planned to go after dark.

Lying in the boss chair, Qin Zhibo casually opened today's newspaper and found yesterday's case in the most conspicuous position of the newspaper.

"The daughter of Shijing Director was murdered! The murderer has been arrested!"

The newspaper reports contained almost no analysis of the case and only briefly mentioned Nikaido Yuji's death.

The murderers include Takashi Ichieda, a staff member in the fund allocation department of the city bank headquarters, and Nanao Yone, the housekeeper of the Yoi family.

There is also a professional killer named Kuki Takashi, who is known as the "Silver Fox" in the industry.

However, the professional killer was involved in a car accident while escaping and has now died.

As for the main person who cracked this case...

Of course it is the wise and powerful crime nemesis of Beika City, Inspector Juzo Megure of the Third Division of the Criminal Investigation Section of the Metropolitan Police Department!

Qin Zhibo's name did not appear in the newspaper, but Qin Zhibo was not disappointed.

Because Qin did it on purpose.

When leaving yesterday, Qin Zhibo specifically told Megure not to reveal his name to the media.

This is not because Qin Zhibo has noble sentiments like Sherlock Holmes and does things like "I'll get the credit for solving the case and you get the honor."

But Qin Zhibo was afraid of revenge.

You should know that behind the Silver Fox is a killer organization called "Bloody Tongue", which is so powerful that it can set up branches all over the world.

His name appeared in the newspaper. If the "Bloody Tongue" was determined to take revenge on him and sent a few "black brothers" from the headquarters in Kenya, it would be too much for a small private detective like him to handle.

Let's imagine--

When you get up from the office, open the blinds and stretch yourself comfortably.

At this moment, you suddenly notice a few black guys in suits standing on the sidewalk across the street.

They wear sunglasses, stand tall, cross their hands in front of them, and give your firm a standard smile...

So after weighing the pros and cons, Qin Zhibo thought it would be better to let this group of black guys smile at Megure Jusan in the Metropolitan Police Department.

This wave...

This wave is called diverting trouble!

……

Qin Zhibo received a call just after putting down the newspaper.

I pressed the answer button and heard a familiar female voice on the other end.

"Oh, it's Miss Tachibana. What can I do for you?"

"The newspaper said Silver Fox died. I want to ask if you did this?"

Qin Zhibo answered decisively: "No."

Tachibana Maya on the opposite side hesitated for a moment.

"Forget it, whether you admit it or not, thank you in advance."

"What I want to tell you is that I'm going to go abroad for a while and I probably won't be back in the short term."

"Hide?" Qin Zhibo was a little confused.

"Yeah." Tachibana Maya stamped her feet in the phone booth. "Because of my last mistake, the Japanese police are now looking for me."

"Okay, let's not talk about it for now. See you again if we're lucky."

All——all——

After hanging up the phone, Qin Zhibo recalled the last time.

Although he let Maya Tachibana go, the Mori family and the fugitive Yuda both knew Maya Tachibana's identity and appearance as a killer.

It is only natural that Tachibana Maya is wanted by the police now.

Also, since Maya Tachibana thanked him for helping her deal with the Silver Fox, then the relationship between the two...

Qin Zhibo opened his personal network of relationships and saw that Tachibana Maya's name slowly moved from the cooperation area to the friend area.

Maya Tachibana is also a friend!

Not only that, the word "want to stay away" in the entry was also erased, but "don't hate" still remained.

Qin Zhibo smiled slightly and closed his network of connections.

In this world, who would complain about having too many friends?

……

The day passed in a flash, and it was already evening when Qin Zhibo set out for the villa.

Walking on the street, Qin Zhibo looked up at the sky.

It rained yesterday, but it is still cloudy today.

One advantage of living in Japan is that it is very convenient to listen to the weather forecast.

In a word, it's raining all over the country, simple and clear.

Following the route provided by the navigation system, Qin Zhibo arrived at the Western-style house located on 4th-chome.

This house is bigger than I imagined. Including the double-story attic, it has four floors, almost the same as a villa.

If Qin Zhibo was not in the civilized metropolis of Tokyo, he would have almost called the police.

Mountain Villa PTSD...

The main entrance of the villa is a large locked iron gate.

Looking inside through the big iron gate, the garden in the yard was overgrown with weeds and looked like it had not been taken care of for a long time.

On the walls of the villa, clusters of ivy appeared a dark green under the gloomy sky.

A cool breeze blew by, and a rustling sound was made.

croak——

croak——

A crow suddenly landed on the doorpost of the big iron gate, making a noisy cry.

Qin Zhibo looked up at the crow with shiny black feathers without changing his expression. At the same time, he saw more crows circling over the roof of the villa.

Withered vines, old trees, crows...

Tokyo... Ravens...

*Beijing roast duck...

Qin Zhibo's Adam's apple moved and he couldn't help swallowing.

Retracting his thoughts that had jumped too far, Qin Zhibo began to look for other ways to enter the villa.

The movement of climbing over the front iron gate is too large and can easily be seen by nearby residents, who may then call the police.

Moreover, there are spikes on the big iron gate to prevent thieves, and Qin Zhibo doesn't want to experience the feeling of a chill in his crotch.

While searching the old brick and stone walls on both sides of the villa, Qin Zhibo accidentally discovered a square hidden entrance.

The hidden entrance is somewhat like a dog hole, and is covered by a wooden board.

But since no one saw it, I just drilled the dog hole.

After walking only a few steps in the yard of the villa, Qin Zhibo saw a clear depression in the lush weeds.

When I walked over, I saw that they were two children.

One is called Genta Kojima and the other is called Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya.
