Conan Rick's Investigator

Oh no! I was careless and lost my hug!

Conan was anxious, anxious from the inside out.

But there was no point in being anxious. Kinukawa Kazuki pointed at the area below Mao Lilan's collarbone and said, "That woman seems to have a mole in this place."

"Because I remember that every time I looked at the mole in front of me, I fell asleep not long after."

"But I was still very young at that time, so maybe I should go a little further down..."

When Conan heard this, he became even more restless. His face flushed as he imagined the area below Mouri Ran's collarbone.

That is...

"Absolutely not!"

"Huh?" Maori Ran and Maori Kogoro looked at Conan who was shouting excitedly, and asked doubtfully: "What's wrong?"

"Ah? This..." Conan hesitated and made up an excuse, "As long as you know the general location, you don't have to point it out so clearly!"

At this moment, Conan wished Qin Zhibo had not left. If so, given the uncle's personality, he would definitely speak up for him.

……

By dusk, Qin Zhibo was still wandering around the city, Minase Yangmeng had gone home, and then Mao Lilan called.

They finally got a positive answer at a hot spring hotel near the hill. The postcards were printed and produced by their hotel.

"Everything is just as Mr. Qin reasoned. This hotel's postcard sales aren't good, and many of them are given away to internal staff for free."

"This is called the Yuya Inn, and the address is..."

After getting the address, Qin Zhibo took a taxi and arrived at his destination quickly.

Pushing open the glass door and entering the hotel, Conan and his friends were still sitting on the sofa in the hotel lobby and had not gone in.

When Kogoro Maori saw that Qin Zhibo came here alone in a taxi, and it seemed that he had a carefree day in the city, his heart ached again.

It seems that there is indeed no shortage of money...

Before Qin Zhibo came, Maori Kogoro had already asked the proprietress here, and found out that there was no female employee named "Atsuko" here, but there were quite a few mother fans who liked Kinukawa Kazuki.

"That's all for today. Stay here tonight and officially start looking for someone tomorrow."

After a tiring day, Kogoro Mouri wanted to rest early. After all, he had received the commission from the wealthy child star, so he should enjoy himself.

Just as Kogoro Mouri walked to the front desk and was about to book a room, another guest came in.

The man was carrying a large shoulder bag, holding a luggage bag in his right hand, and had a ponytail tied at the back of his head.

Although he had the same hairstyle as Ma Chengshi, the man's face looked very hideous, with sparse stubble on his chin and a curved wrinkle on his forehead.

"You, it seems the protagonist has already arrived..."

"You've got two famous detectives with you. Are they here to help you find that heartless mother who abandoned you?"

The man's voice was gloomy, and his face looked even more unkind and hateful because of the setting sun outside the glass behind him.

Maori Kogoro was displeased when he heard this, but for the purpose of protecting the client's privacy, he did not answer. Instead, he asked directly: "Who are you?"

"Ha ha……"

"My name is Yaxia, I'm just a guest staying here, and I came by to see what's going on..."

The man who called himself "Duckling" did not reveal his identity.

But Qin Zhibo noticed the identity information floating above his head, which read Kamogato Baobiru, a 37-year-old reporter.

What is the sudden death rate of ducks?

Of course it’s 100%!

With this weird name and a dead look on his face, Qin Zhibo guessed that he was probably the person who died today.

Judging from his identity as a reporter and what he said, he was probably here for the news about Kinukawa Kazuki's mother.

On this side, Kamoshita was unaware of his fate and was already targeted the moment he stepped into the hotel and saw Conan.

He sneered twice, told the front desk staff the room number 205 he had booked, checked in quickly, and left.

Only after Kamoshita left did Maori Kogoro start to check in.

The Maori family and Kinukawa Kazuki live in room 308, while Qin Zhibo lives alone in room 310.

Since they were staying in two rooms not far from each other, the landlady arranged for a waitress with big braids and purple lipstick to take them upstairs.

They first came to room 308. Kogoro Mouri and his companions walked in. A female waiter with long braids stood at the door and began to introduce them.

"This is Room 308. The bathrobes and quilts are in the closet. Please help yourself."

After saying that, the waitress turned around and left impatiently.

Kogoro Mouri was speechless about the service attitude. The girl with the long braid was actually quite pretty, but her face always looked like someone owed her money.

"Miss, could you please introduce it more clearly?"

Kogoro Mouri raised his eyebrows and protested against the woman's service attitude.

But the braided girl turned around and retorted, "Are you annoying? We're busy enough as it is, how can we have time for unnecessary guests like you?"

"Don't think you're that great just because you're a celebrity!"

The bombardment of sharp words made Kogoro Mouri lose his temper.

If Kogoro Mouri hadn't been more tolerant of beautiful women other than his wife, he would have complained about her long ago.

Turning around, the girl with braids led Qin Zhibo to room 310.

"This is room 310. It has the same configuration as the previous room. Please make yourself at home."

The girl with the braid didn't have a good attitude towards Qin Zhibo, who was traveling with Junchuan and others, and was completely perfunctory in her dealings.

"Wait a minute." Qin Zhibo stopped her. "With your attitude, aren't you afraid that I'll complain to your boss?"

Upon hearing this, the girl with the braid stopped and said with a smile, "Then go and file a complaint. It's best not to stay in this hotel..."

"Heh, why wouldn't I stay in this hotel?" Qin Zhibo laughed instead of getting angry. "Is it because you're that child's mother?"

When the girl with the braid heard this, her face was shocked for a moment. She paused for two seconds before she thought of retorting.

"What are you talking about? How could I be that child's mother!"

Qin Zhibo looked at the waitress named "Sanzhi Chaoxiang" and smiled even more. "I didn't say which child it was. Why are you so anxious?"

Qin Zhibo's words left Asaka Sanzhi unable to refute her. She gritted her teeth in anger and could only say "It's up to you" before leaving.

Seeing this attitude, Qin Zhibo could basically confirm that she was Kinukawa Kazuki's mother.

In fact, Qin Zhibo felt a little strange when he was in Kogoro Mouri's room just now.

Because when she said "Don't think you are so great just because you are a celebrity", she was not looking at Kogoro Mouri, but at Kazuki Kinukawa who was on the ground.

This shows that what she rejected in her heart was not Kogoro Mouri who was questioning her service attitude, but a child who had never spoken to her.

Moreover, it is a bit strange that she says she hates celebrities but knows this child star who is not famous all over the country.

So Qin Zhibo just tried to test her with words, and sure enough, he exposed her weakness.

As for her arrogant attitude, it was probably to avoid contact with Maori and his group, or even to use words to stimulate Maori and others to leave the hotel, so she used the word "redundant".

But the strange thing is that she has been writing letters to her son, but now that her son has found her, she doesn't dare to recognize him?

I guess there is some hidden story.

……

Once everyone was settled, it was time for dinner.

At the invitation of Kogoro Mouri, Qin Zhibo and he each drank two large glasses of beer at the dinner table.

Kogoro Mouri's alcohol tolerance is not good. He gets drunk after drinking one glass of beer, but he still clamors for a second glass. He is the type of person who loves to eat but also loves to drink.

Qin Zhibo is the type who rarely drinks, but he can actually drink a lot. He didn't feel drunk at all after drinking two glasses of beer.

One reason is that Qin Zhibo has an iron will, and alcohol and drinks are unlikely to have the desired effect.

Another point is that the original owner of Qin Zhibo's body was a person who drank strong liquor. There used to be a bottle of whiskey on his desk. He might be a person who drank more alcohol than Maori Kogoro.

After drinking, they waited for Kogoro Mouri to wake up and then prepared to experience the hotel's open-air hot spring.

On the way to the hot spring, Kinukawa Kazuki picked up something that looked like a lid and subconsciously gave it to Maori Ran.

Mao Lilan looked at the black cover and asked doubtfully, "This should be... the lens cap of a camera, right?"

"Yeah." Qin Zhibo nodded and said, "This should be the cover left from Yaxia's camera, right?"

Conan's face was shocked, "How did uncle know?"

"Because he's a journalist, he should be carrying a camera, right?"

Conan was a little surprised, and Ran Mouri turned around and said she would run to 205 to return the lid.

Qin Zhibo shouted at the back of Mao Lilan.

"Then thank you for your hard work..."

……

The rest of the people came to the front of the bathhouse. When Kogoro Mouri lifted the curtain, he saw interesting words.

"It's mixed bathing!"

The excited Kogoro Mouri sobered up instantly, shouted, and rushed to the bathhouse with his two long hairy legs, shouting "I wonder if there is anyone else in there" as he ran.

Qin Zhibo felt helpless. He heard that the women who bathed in mixed baths in Japan were either old ladies or women who were just men. As a Japanese LSP, how could he not know this?

Conan next to him was extremely disgusted with the uncle, and thought to himself: It's so late, how could there still be people taking a hot spring bath?

Unlike Qin Zhibo, who is also an uncle, he doesn't care about those things at all.

Conan turned to look at Qin Zhibo. Compared with Maori Kogoro, Qin Zhibo just walked behind and followed silently, even crossing his hands and putting them in his sleeves.

But when Kogoro Mouri was the first to rush into the bathhouse, he really won the prize.

"Wow!"

There were actually three ladies bathing in the middle of the steaming hot spring pool.

The three women were the hotel owner, the girl with long braids, and a girl with short hair whom Qin Zhibo had never seen before.

In the mist, the bodies of the three people appear and disappear between the water and the mist, which is quite interesting.

Seeing a man coming in, some pretty girls with long braids and short hair were still a little covered up, but the proprietress was not opposed at all. She smiled and invited Junchuan and Hui to come down and take a bath together.

But with such a beautiful view, Qin Zhibo had no intention of taking off his clothes. Instead, he stayed in his bathrobe and counted down silently in his heart.

Three, two, one...

Call!

As soon as Qin Zhibo's inner voice fell, a shrill scream came from upstairs.

"what--!"

The screams were extremely penetrating, penetrating the floor and reaching the ears of everyone in the bathhouse clearly.

Yes, it’s Xiaolan for sure.

Chapter 919: Not a Beautiful Misunderstanding

Hearing his daughter's familiar scream, Kogoro Mouri woke up from his drunken stupor in an instant and ran towards the source of the sound with Conan.

Qin Zhibo ran in front, and the three of them quickly arrived at Room 205 on the second floor.

"Could it be that that bastard... bastard!"

Kogoro Mouri ran and shouted, thinking that the man named Kamoshita was doing something wrong to Ran Mouri.

When they ran to 205, they saw Ran Mao Li trembling and pointing to the bathroom.

"he……"

I saw Ya Xia's head plunging into the hot water of the bathtub, his eyes closed forever, and a light of investigation point emanating from his head.

Qin Zhibo and Maori Kogoro immediately went in to examine the body, and were the first to come to a conclusion: Maori Ran was not kicked to death in a fit of excitement.
