Conan Rick's Investigator

Facial recognition alone is not enough. The cautious Shuichi Akai also needs to ask questions to confirm his identity, which Qin Zhibo did not expect.

However, this time point nineteen years ago sounds familiar, it seems to be...

“Hawaii.”

Akai Shuichi: "With whom?"

Qin Zhibo: "Yasuharu Haneda."

Akai Shuichi: "Who are you going to see in Hawaii?"

Qin Zhibo: "Qin...Vince Qin."

It was a close call. I didn’t say “I” first.

When faced with questions, each of the other party answered fluently, which made Shuichi Akai psychologically shaken.

The incident happened too suddenly and it happened too long ago, so this was the question he thought of suddenly.

But even so, it was a private family gathering, and no one else in the world knew about this trivial matter except those who were at the party.

This man is indeed his "father".

Thinking of this, Shuichi Akai slowly put down the pistol in his hand. After all, pointing a gun at his father who had been separated from him for many years was a bit too "filial".

But when facing his father whom he had not seen for many years, he would not rush up to hug his father and cry bitterly.

First of all, he is not young anymore. If he gets married early, his children will be able to help with the family business.

Secondly, even though he is your biological father, you still have to be clear about your stance.

Now it is very unacceptable that the father is holding the unconscious Vermouth with one hand.

"Why did you save that woman?"

"She's a criminal arrested by our FBI. She's involved in a very important case. You should know that, right?"

Shuichi Akai spoke in a firm tone as he questioned the "father" in front of him, with an air of "This is the fate of being a horse bandit, even my own father must die."

Qin Zhibo steadied his voice and said calmly, "I'm also working for an organization now, but it's not the organization she belongs to, but an organization that is opposed to it..."

Qin Zhibo glanced at Vermouth, meaning that he was not in the same group with "her".

"I need this person to use her to gain the trust of the boss behind her."

Hearing this, Akai Hideichi was surprised.

My father is actually going undercover in a black organization. Is he going to repeat the same path I have walked all these years?

"Is this related to the case you left home to investigate 17 years ago?"

Although he didn't understand what case he was talking about, Qin Zhibo nodded.

Seeing that "Akai Mumu" admitted it, Akai Shuichi's face became even more surprised.

I didn't expect that the key to my long-cherished wish to track down my father lies in the black organization where he used to be an undercover agent.

By some strange coincidence, I ended up walking ahead of my father?

However, he did not find any clues, Gin was not caught, and his lover died. This was really a case of "losing both the wife and the army."

"Okay, Shuichi."

"I should go now, or your colleagues should be back by now."

Having said that, "Akai Tsutomu" picked up the unconscious Vermouth again and walked back in the original direction.

Looking at his father's back, Shuichi Akai stood there without moving, just watching silently.

He waited until the figure turned the corner before putting away his gun, and walked away with his hands in his pockets, leaving a lonely shadow behind him.

……

Qin Zhibo was driving fast across the city, with the unconscious Vermouth lying in the back seat.

In order to prevent her from waking up midway, a [shroud] was put on her face again.

However, this time it won't be too long. Qin Zhibo plans to complete the transaction with the boss as soon as possible to avoid any further complications.

He took out Vermouth's phone and sent a text message to his boss.

[The person has been rescued. Where can I trade? ]

After waiting for about two minutes, the other party replied to the text message.

[Three o'clock in the morning, at the seventh corner of Hayama]

Qin Zhibo raised his hand to check the time. It was 1:30 am, and there was still an hour and a half left before the appointed time.

The more urgent the transaction, the more it shows that the boss of the organization values Vermouth and is eager to rescue her.

Of course, a rushed time means less preparation and is safer for yourself.

As for the location of Raihayama, Qin Zhibo turned on the navigation system and saw that this place was located in the suburbs of Tokyo. It was actually the Ninety-nine Peaks that he had visited before, and the first peak was called Raihayama.

There used to be a luxury car smuggling den owned by an organization nearby, but it was taken down by the Junior Detective Team by mistake.

Thinking in his mind, Qin Zhibo drifted and changed direction, heading towards Laiye Mountain.

Just as he was driving and thinking about how to complete the transaction safely, the phone rang in the quiet car.

jingle--

Qin Zhibo controlled the steering wheel with one hand and felt around his body, and found a new phone.

This is the organization's call.

Could it be...

Qin Zhibo quickly parked the car on the side of the road and answered the phone after making sure that the surroundings were quiet.

"Hey?"

"I'm Gin, and I'll be arriving at the seventh turn in Hayama at 2:30 sharp."

Damn, as expected...

"Now?" Qin Zhibo asked knowingly in the accent of "Michael".

"Now."

After saying that, Gin simply hung up the phone.

Qin Zhibo put away the phone and touched his forehead. For the first time, he felt that although Gin looked cold on the outside, he was quite worldly on the inside.

Now, in his mind, I am still a close confidant sent by the boss of the organization.

He received a task assigned by the organization's boss one second, and the next second he called me to join him, simply because he wanted to show off his abilities in front of the inspectors.

But the trouble is that I can’t go to trade in person.

……

2:00 AM, arrived at Hayama.

A taxi stopped at the foot of Mount Kuraya.

Then, a foreign man with golden wavy hair walked out of the car and looked up at the mountain in front of him.

This person is Qin Zhibo in disguise.

Mount Kuraya is the first mountain that the Ninety-Nine Bends pass through, and behind it is Mount Ryushen, which we have visited before.

This moment seemed familiar to Qin Zhibo. He was taking a taxi and climbing a mountain in the middle of the night to keep a date with the organization. This was the first time he entered the organization as "Michael".

The seventh bend doesn't sound far, but it would be difficult to climb up on foot, and it would take about half an hour to get up.

On a rarely traveled mountain road, a lonely figure walked slowly and leisurely. Although his way was very primitive, he was calm and relaxed, as if he was walking in his own yard.

When Qin Zhibo was halfway up, a car came from behind, and the headlights shone on the road, which made Qin Zhibo notice it immediately.

Looking back, two headlights were shining on both sides of the car body, and the dark streamlined body could be vaguely seen.

Considering that it was already early morning and the mountain road was deserted, it should be Gin's Porsche 356A.

When the car approached, Qin Zhibo stopped in time.

The car window slowly lowered, revealing Gin's stern face and Vodka who was driving obediently in the driver's seat.

"boarding."

Without saying anything extra, Gin turned around and pointed to the back of the car.

Qin Zhibo opened the car door and sat in the back seat, then Vodka stepped on the accelerator and continued heading up the mountain.

Behind the car seat, Qin Zhibo saw Gin's long golden hair, which had not been combed in time and was not as silky as before, and realized that Gin was sleeping before the boss's mission arrived.

shock!

Hardworking Gin actually needs to sleep too!

……

Soon, the Porsche 356A arrived at the designated location, the seventh turn of Hayama.

Look at the time, it's exactly 2:30.

In the co-pilot seat, Gin introduced the mission content while smoking a Seven Star cigarette to refresh himself.

"Before, Vermouth was captured by the FBI. Someone will bring her here later."

"Our mission is to pick up Vermouth..."

Vodka sat next to Gin, looking at Gin's cold and murderous eyes through the rearview mirror, and knew that his elder brother was in a bad mood.

But even so, there is still one thing that needs to be confirmed.

"Brother, should we kill the person who sent Vermouth here?"

When he heard the word "silence", Qin Zhibo's ears in the back row trembled.

Gin did not answer immediately. Instead, he put out the cigarette in his hand, put the butt into the ashtray in the car, and slowly lit another one. The misty tobacco swirled and rose in the car.

"It depends."

After leaving this uncertain sentence, Gin stopped talking, and Vodka, who was good at observing people's expressions, didn't ask any more questions.

Qin Zhibo, who was sitting in the back row, was like a spectator, quietly observing Gin's facial expression, and had a bad feeling in his heart.

It seems that the boss of the organization did not tell him about the "transaction", but just asked him to pick up the person.

Want to get something for nothing?

……

The half-hour wait passed quickly.

Gin asked Vodka to get out of the car together and prepare to pick someone up, but left Qin Zhibo alone in the car.

"Michael, stay in the car."

But when the agreed time of 3 a.m. arrived, the whole road was still very quiet.

Apart from the occasional inopportune chirping of insects in the grass by the roadside, there was no other movement.

Obviously, the other party was late.

Gin: Rage +1

Another five minutes passed. Gin, who was standing next to the Porsche, frowned slightly, looked around, and immediately decided not to wait any longer.

"Let's go, Vodka."

Gin's tone was a little hurried, and Vodka didn't ask any nonsense like "Do you want to wait a little longer?" He opened the door and got into the car with Gin.

But just as the two of them got into the car and Vodka started the engine and prepared to leave, the road in front of them was lit up with unnatural light.

A silver-white car drove out from the corner and slowly drove towards Gin.

Gin frowned slightly, and Vodka also raised his foot to step on the accelerator.

The car approached at a snail's pace and stopped steadily five meters away from the Porsche 356A.

The front ends of the two cars faced each other. Gin and Vodka did not get out immediately. They tilted their heads slightly and squinted their eyes at the car opposite.

It wasn't that there was something wrong with their eyes, but the car's high beams were shining directly on their faces. The strong light made it impossible for them to look directly at it, and the originally dark interior of the car was now as bright as day.

On the opposite side was a dog with high beams that didn't know how to be polite.
