Conan Rick's Investigator

In the surveillance footage on the floor, a yellow figure suddenly appeared from outside the screen. Without any warning or sign, she walked into the screen.

This body has a height far different from that of an ordinary person. The body under the yellow silk robe is unpredictable. The hood on the head is almost attached to the ceiling. From the perspective of the surveillance camera on the ceiling, it looks particularly weird.

"This……"

Dean Fukuyama stared at the scene with wide eyes in shock, his head leaning close to the screen.

The body seemed to move slowly, but it was extremely agile and moved in just a few steps to the first ward.

In the picture, he stood sideways in the dim corridor, doing nothing, just standing there quietly, but it seemed as if he had done everything.

After a while, the patient inside walked out of the door and kowtowed to the tall body, muttering "Sir".

And this body just stood there in the face of the patients' worship, just like Michael Jackson performing at the Super Bowl, causing countless screams just by standing there.

Finally, the yellow body moved, its sleeves twitched slightly, and it raised its hand to point to the second room.

Akio Koda understood and quickly woke up the second person.

The two men woke up the third person.

In this way, the three of them worshiped together like believers, and the yellow body still just stood there.

Until his sleeves moved slightly, as if he was passing something to the blasting maniac Hiroharu Nakata in the middle.

But from the perspective of the surveillance camera, I couldn't see what it was.

then……

Until the yellow body slowly turned around and left without saying a word, Nakata Hiroharu and the other two seemed to understand something and kept kowtowing to express their gratitude.

When the yellow body turned around and left in the direction it came from, the hood moved slightly, and it actually turned its head to look straight at the surveillance camera.

At this time, Dean Fukuyama, with his eyes wide open, saw what was under the hood.

It was a pale face without any feature.

"what!"

He screamed and fell to the ground. A chill spread throughout his body. His left hand supported the ground while his right hand trembled constantly.

Fukuyama shouted, ignoring the pain in his buttocks.

"quick!"

"Go call the police!"

……

Zhibo Detective Agency.

Qin Zhibo sat in the boss chair behind his desk, thinking that it was about time to call the police at Qingshan Psychiatric Hospital.

Although he had tried his best to play the role of the "King in Yellow", his figure and logic of action were beyond the comprehension of ordinary people. In addition, he used the invisibility function of the ring and the surveillance to create the illusion of being invisible and disappearing without a trace.

But at least this is a modern and civilized society, and if you have any problems, you should still contact the police first.

If the police can't solve the problem, it won't be too late to go to the West to ask for help from the Buddha.

As for Hiroharu Nakata, Akio Koda, and Miho Kanano, Qin Zhibo also monitored them in his own way.

On the "yellow seal" given to Hiroharu Nakata, Qin Zhibo attached the [famous detective's eavesdropping device].

I believe that with Hiroharu Nakata's piety, he would never tear off the yellow sticker and would wear it on his body at all times.

As for how to find the yellow seal, if Hiroharu Nakata was not wearing it when he was arrested, it could only be hidden in his hiding place.

It just so happened that Qin Zhibo attended the police press conference and assisted the police in the investigation, so he knew where Nakata Hiroji was hiding...

From the time the mental hospital calls the police, to the time the police investigate and issue a warrant, the response time is estimated to be about half a day.

Even if they hid well, there was still a great risk of being exposed if the three of them acted together, so Qin Zhibo's plan could not be delayed.

It must be carried out tonight.

Thinking in his mind, Qin Zhibo left the office and came to the bustling Mihua Central Street. In the most crowded place, he sent a text message to his boss using Vermouth's phone.

[I have found out where Vermouth is being held by the FBI]

After sending the text message, Qin Zhibo immediately moved to the vicinity of the Beihu Bridge where Mihua Town and Beihu Town meet.

But before that, the other side had already replied to the text message.

【what do you want? 】

The content of the text message was as short as it could be. It did not ask questions like "Who are you?" which are common questions in the minds of ordinary people. Instead, it simply talked about the conditions.

In short, the mindset on the other side of the text message is that it doesn't matter who you're dealing with; the most important thing is to get what you want.

Qin Zhibo noticed this and immediately changed his words.

[What I want is very simple. I can even help you rescue Vermouth, but you have to exchange it with the Parnest fragment.]

After sending the text message, Qin Zhibo was about to drive away when a text message came from the other end of the phone, just three seconds apart.

【make a deal】

These two words were concise and to the point, yet they revealed the boss's determination.

This made Qin Zhibo hesitate.

When a normal person sees this condition, he or she will hesitate for a moment, first considering what the other party wants it for, whether he or she should give it to the other party, whether the other party has any conspiracy, etc.

But the boss acted without hesitation, taking almost no time to think.

It's like simply putting "Vermouth" and "Panester Fragments" on both sides of the scale, and it's clear at a glance which one is more important.

As for the rest and the future, he doesn't care at all.

This kind of thinking is both arrogant and fearless, giving people a sense of pressure as if they are standing high above and looking down on all living beings.

Qin Zhibo's original plan was just to let the organization boss send someone to rescue Vermouth, and then let Vermouth get the "Panester Fragments" to complete the transaction with "Michael".

But as the FBI set up the location at Chengshi Hospital, Qin Zhibo became a little hesitant.

If the organization is allowed to come to rescue, accidental injuries will inevitably occur, and even the relevant insiders will be silenced afterwards.

In addition, after realizing the boss's thoughts and attitude just now, Qin Zhibo temporarily changed his plan and made a deal directly with the boss himself.

This can be considered a double insurance. If Vermouth really cannot find the Panester fragment, the boss himself can still find it because it was he who gave it to Vermouth.

If the boss breaks his promise, Vermouth is his second layer of insurance.

In short, the two channels for obtaining Panester fragments serve as substitutes for each other and proceed simultaneously.

……

In the evening, several FBI agents sat in the living room of Cheng Shi's house, eating the dinner prepared by Cheng Shi while discussing how to interrogate Vermouth next.

"That guy is too stubborn and won't reveal any useful information."

"If it really doesn't work, we can use some tricks. After all, this is Japan..."

The "methods" that the FBI agent mentioned were torture and forced confessions. Although these are prohibited by U.S. law, they can be used privately.

But as soon as this plan was proposed, it was rejected by James, who was sitting in the main seat.

"This won't work. Once we take any action, we'll be in a passive position in the future."

Although this case is serious, in James' mind it is not as important as the court. No matter how many people Vermouth has killed, he will be given a fair trial by the U.S. federal court.

At that time, the big boss behind Vermouth will definitely find the best lawyer to defend Vermouth. Once such means are adopted on one's side, it will be easy for the other lawyer to find the flaws and it will be easy to fail.

At this moment, Akai Shuichi, who was sitting opposite, put down the spoon in his hand and said, "Even if we use some tricks on that woman, she won't give in."

"She's not the kind of small-time character who'll confess under duress. She's not one of the codenamed members of the organization..."

As someone who had once joined the organization, Shuichi Akai knew that most of the organization's members were not the kind of people who were afraid of death, and were not afraid of physical pain.

Especially those who were given code names, almost every one of them was a "death soldier", such as Calvados who would rather commit suicide after being captured.

However, it is not necessarily that these people are loyal to the organization, but that they are well aware of the darkness of the organization and know that if they betray the organization, they will suffer a fate ten thousand times more miserable than their current one.

So when Shuichi Akai woke up Vermouth, he didn't intend to obtain important information from her.

But only when Vermouth is awake will she have a chance to catch the big fish "Gin".

This is also the "lover" he most wants to see when he comes to Japan this time.

Just as the FBI sitting at the dining table were looking worried, the small TV on the bar was suddenly turned on.

Several people looked at the TV, then frowned at Cheng Shi who was turning on the TV next to them.

Cheng Shi looked at the puzzled looks of the others and immediately fell into embarrassment. "I saw that you all seemed very distressed, so I wanted to let you watch some TV and relax..."

"Shall I close it?"

Cheng Shi was about to turn off the TV when Shuichi Akai stopped him.

"No need to close it. We also need to understand the situation outside..."

"Just watch the news. Who knows what news that boy will cause again."

The "boy" that Shuichi Akai mentioned was naturally Conan. Ever since he realized that Haibara Ai might be his sister-in-law, he found that this little boy named "Conan" was really extraordinary and was often involved in murders.

With the help of this news, I was able to grasp the general situation there even during the time when I was being followed by Bourbon.

Cheng Shi took the remote control and dialed several channels in succession before finding the news program that was being broadcast.

The female anchor on the screen was broadcasting entertainment news as usual, but suddenly she paused and switched to a serious tone.

"I have an urgent news report. Late last night, three mentally ill prisoners escaped from Aoyama Mental Hospital. The three prisoners are identified as Hiroharu Nakata, male, 43 years old..."

"The police are currently searching for the three suspects. Citizens are advised to lock their doors and windows at night and refrain from going out unless necessary. If you encounter any danger, please call the police immediately..."

Chapter 911: Dr. Agasa: "Ai--!"

After broadcasting the urgent news, the female anchor continued to broadcast gossip about the entertainment industry, switching expressions freely.

However, at this time, Shuichi Akai had already finished his meal. He put the used tableware in the sink, took out a new plate from the cupboard, put some curry rice on it, and added a plastic spoon.

James watched Akai Shuichi's actions and asked, "Or are you going to deliver food to that woman?"

"Ah."

Shuichi Akai came to a room with curry rice and nodded to the FBI at the door, and the man went to eat.

When I pushed open the door, I saw Vermouth in the room with her hands tied behind her back on a chair, but she was sitting with her legs crossed comfortably.

"Are you here to deliver food again?"

"Is there no one else in the FBI?"

Vermouth's tone was frivolous, with a smile on her face, and her mental state did not look like that of a prisoner at all.

But Shuichi Akai ignored all these questions, because this was Vermouth using words to test the FBI's information.

He placed the curry rice on the low table to the side, untied the rope on Vermouth's hand, and said coldly: "You have five minutes to eat."

Five minutes is not long, but it is really short too.

Vermouth didn't dare to waste time, so she loosened her stiff wrists, picked up the plastic spoon, and started eating.

And Shuichi Akai stood behind and watched silently.

Under such strict guard, Vermouth knew that the hope of escaping on her own was slim.

Now the work of taking care of Vermouth's food and daily life is done by Shuichi Akai himself.

Apart from eating, even going to the toilet can only be done in this room.

There was a medical bedpan in the room. Whenever Vermouth wanted to use it, Shuichi Akai would stand by and watch over her. At most, he would turn around to save her a bit of face.

If it were an ordinary FBI, she would have a chance to attack the FBI with the dirt in the bedpan, then grab the pistol and escape from here.

But facing Shuichi Akai alone, even if it was just her back, she had no confidence that she could successfully launch a sneak attack.

Last year, the two men clashed in a New York alleyway, and he was shot in the abdomen and nearly died.

From then on, she believed that if the organization were to collapse one day, it would definitely be caused by Shuichi Akai himself.

If the organization is likened to a demon, then Shuichi Akai is the "silver bullet" that can kill the demon.
