Conan Rick's Investigator

"Gunma Prefecture?"

Qin Zhibo murmured, thinking that Karasuma Renya's Twilight Villa was also built in Gunma Prefecture.

Of course, the real builders of Dusk Villa may be the Shaggai Zerg.

If Yin Shichuan Gozo was a fan of Karasuma Renya, he might have built the annex in Gunma Prefecture as a tribute to Karasuma Renya.

The boss of the organization said that the fragment was in the hands of Yoon Shikawa Kozo, perhaps he was saying that the fragment was hidden in the annex built by Yoon Shikawa Kozo.

As for who is lying between the boss and Vermouth, we will find out when we go to Gunma Prefecture tomorrow.

……

The next day, Qin Zhibo got up very early.

After packing his bags and hanging a Close sign on the office, Qin Zhibo drove to Gunma Prefecture.

After arriving in Gunma Prefecture, Qin Zhibo went straight to find the rookie police officer of Gunma Prefecture, Yamamura Cao.

Shancuncao just got out of the hospital recently and returned to work. He is full of energy and has no place to vent it.

"Oh my, isn't this the famous detective Qin Zhibo? He really is the one who comes to visit for no reason~" Shancuncao raised his lips and looked very proud.

"Officer Yamamura, I want to ask..."

Before Qin Zhibo could finish his words, Shancuncao raised his index finger, shook it left and right, and interrupted him.

"Please wait a moment, Mr. Qin, now I am... this!"

Shancun Cao skillfully took out the police manual from his arms, shook off the protective cover, and showed Qin Zhibo the contents inside.

Under the two-inch photo of Shancuncao’s dull face, the words “Police Chief” were clearly written.

Qin Zhibo was stunned at first, standing there for a few seconds, before he remembered that Yamamura Cao was just an ordinary police inspector, at the same level as Sato Miwako.

Now that he has been promoted to police captain, it can be considered a big upgrade.

After all, starting from the rank of inspector general, one is already considered a small leader in the police force. In fact, less than 10% of police officers in the Japanese police force can reach the rank of inspector general before retirement.

"I see. Then congratulations on your promotion to Inspector!"

Qin Zhibo bowed and congratulated him twice, and Shancuncao's expression became even more arrogant, with a face full of smugness.

Yamamura Cao's promotion to police captain was the result of many factors.

First, Conan helped Yamamura So solve some cases. Although the number was not large, it was extremely rare for Gunma Prefecture, which is usually calm.

Before Conan came, there had not been a single murder case in Gunma Prefecture for several years, so how could the case be solved?

Secondly, not long ago, Yamamura Sou made a contribution by killing the prisoner Tomonori Kinoshita and was gloriously wounded for it, adding another highlight to his resume.

Finally, an old police captain in Gunma Prefecture is about to retire. After comprehensively evaluating the resumes of all the deputy police captains, Yamamura Sou becomes the most suitable candidate to take over the position of police captain.

It can truly be said that he is "young and promising"!

"Haha, it's just so-so~"

"low profile!"

Shancuncao shouted the word "low-key" loudly at the door of the police station, attracting the attention of passers-by. Qin Zhibo didn't know whether he really wanted to keep a low profile.

"By the way, what did you come to see me about?"

After all the praise, Shancuncao finally remembered his business.

Qin Zhibo got straight to the point: "Do you know 'Barbarian Bull' Yin Shichuan Gangsan?"

"Manniu...Yin Shichuan..." Shancun Cao raised his head and thought for a moment, then shook his head, "I don't know him."

Seeing Shancuncao's innocent look, Qin Zhibo knew that he was not lying.

But if even a local like Yamamura Cao doesn't know him, how can I find Yin Shichuan Gangsan's villa?

At this moment, the middle-aged policeman who was standing guard with a long wooden stick suddenly spoke.

"'The Bull,' Yin Shichuan Gozo, was very famous thirty years ago. Almost every Japanese stock investor knew his name."

Yamamura Cao turned around and asked, "Do you know this person?"

The middle-aged policeman nodded. "Yin Shichuan Gangzo is said to be from Gunma Prefecture. After making a fortune through stock speculation, he built an 'Angel's House' in the Gunma forest. He was a very popular figure at the time..."

After the middle-aged policeman reminded him, Yamamura Cao seemed to remember something and raised a finger, "Are you talking about that super luxurious villa in the east of Gunma Prefecture?"

“When I was a kid, I often went there to explore with my friends!”

When Shancuncao said this, there was a gleam in his eyes.

At that time, he and his friends nearby often went on adventures in the forest, and the Angel's House was also an ideal place to visit.

However, the security at the Angel's House was quite tight, and coupled with the warnings from their families, they could only secretly gaze at the magnificent buildings from a distance and dared not go near them.

"Yes, I just want to know that place. Can you tell me how to get there?"

The person Qin Zhibo was questioning was a middle-aged policeman, who seemed more reliable than Shancuncao.

The middle-aged policeman gave Qin Zhibo a cold look and replied, "Drive about twenty minutes from the highway east of Gunma Prefecture. There's a very obvious road leading directly to the forest on the left side of the road."

Qin Zhibo silently took note of it and thanked the middle-aged policeman.

"Thank you."

"You're welcome."

After collecting the information he wanted, Qin Zhibo was about to leave when Shancun Cao grabbed Qin Zhibo's sleeve again, pulled him aside, and asked him quietly.

"By the way, how's the investigation going on regarding the matter you sent your assistant to inquire about last time?"

"Assistant...are you talking about Toru Amuro?" Qin Zhibo was puzzled for a moment before he remembered that there was such a person.

Yamamura nodded, "Yes, isn't that Amuro Toru your assistant?"

"Yeah, but what did I ask him to investigate..."

Qin Zhibo pretended not to remember, and Shancuncao, who was anxious to know the answer, quickly reminded him.

"The last time I escorted a prisoner back to Gunma Prefecture, I vaguely seemed to see someone when the prisoner was escaping..."

After hearing this, Qin Zhibo's eyes moved slightly, "Yeah! Who was it?"

"My childhood playmate, Xiao Jing..."

Xiaojing?

Qin Zhibo thought about it and felt that the person who silenced Tomonori Kinoshita and disguised himself as the criminal to escape from the scene should be a member of the Black Organization.

Because in the case of the full moon night, Vermouth used the data from the "Curse of the Dead" website to threaten the werewolves to commit crimes, which indirectly proved that the Black Organization was behind Kinoshita Tomonori.

If it wasn't Yamamura Cao who was having hallucinations, could it be that the true identity of that organization member was "Xiao Jing"?

"Who is this 'Xiao Jing'? Do you know where he is now and what he does?" Qin Zhibo didn't want to miss any information and asked quickly.

Shancun Cao did not suspect Qin Zhibo's ignorance and continued to answer, "His name is Zhufu Jingguang. He was my childhood playmate, but one day he suddenly disappeared..."

"I don't know where he is now or what he's doing, but when we were little, we made a promise to grow up to be 'partners of justice'!"

Such childish words, coming out of Yamamura Cao's mouth, don't feel out of place at all.

"Well, I see..."

"If I find that person, I'll tell you."

Qin Zhibo did not respond much, because if he told him the information he had, he would probably be disappointed.

Not only did the childhood playmate fail to become a partner of justice, but he even became an enemy of justice.

……

After leaving the Gunma Prefecture Police Station, Qin Zhibo drove towards the highway east of Gunma Prefecture.

After driving for about twenty minutes, a road leading into the forest appeared.

After driving into the forest and passing through a tunnel, the view suddenly opened up.

A group of buildings built in a forest valley stands before our eyes.

Looking down at the building below, Qin Zhibo discovered that the scale of the building here was even more exaggerated than that of the Dusk Villa.

The so-called Angel's House actually has a total of five buildings, four of which are located in the east, south, west and north directions respectively.

Each of the villas in these four directions stands with a base or a lighthouse, and on top are four angels of different shapes, watching over the sky in the four directions.

In the middle of the four pavilions is a Baroque-style rectangular building without any angel guarding it.

The entire Angel's House is protected by the walls of a medieval aristocratic castle. It is full of classical atmosphere, solemn and majestic, and is worthy of being called the Angel's House.

Qin Zhibo parked the car in a secluded place on the side of the road and used a telescope to scan everything below.

In addition to the five pavilions, the courtyard of the Angel Pavilion is also exquisitely decorated, with gardens, statues, flower beds, and fountains.

The overall layout is similar to the legendary Hanging Gardens of Babylon, using a four-layer three-dimensional gardening technique.

Perhaps because of stock speculation, all the statues in the courtyard are huge bronze bulls.

But the only strange thing is that in such a vast Angel's Hall, there is not a single staff member entering or leaving.

Logically speaking, to maintain such a large place, the number of servants and gardeners would be at least dozens, and it should be easy to see people coming and going during the day.

But in fact, Qin Zhibo has been observing for a long time. There is no human activity in the Angel Hall. It is like a dead city.

But judging by the maintenance of the buildings and the garden, someone must be maintaining this place...

Qin Zhibo used his telescope to look back and forth over several of the pavilions, confirming that these buildings were not unmaintained. Only the pavilion on the east side looked a bit dilapidated and lacked care.

……

After observing on the hillside for a while, Qin Zhibo was sure that there was no one in the Angel Hall, so he decided to sneak in and take a look.

After putting on a human skin mask, he came to the outer wall of the Angel's House, where a tightly closed wooden archway blocked his way.

But this did not matter. Qin Zhibo went straight to the wall next to him, threw the [Flying Claw] upwards, and easily climbed over the five-meter-high wall.

After entering the Angel's Hall, Qin Zhibo confirmed once again that it was not abandoned. Many facilities were relatively new and the vegetation had been recently maintained.

But for some reason, there is no one here.

In order to further confirm whether there was anyone in the Angel's Hall, Qin Zhibo did not plan to sneak into the building directly, but instead sneaked around several other buildings first.

The first is the South Annex, which is closest to the walled entrance. On the left side of the annex stands an angel with his hands folded, looking at the southern sky.

Qin Zhibo came to the angel's base and found a stone square clock on the base.

Although the clock is a bit old-fashioned and simple, the time on it is correct, 11:59, which means it is still running.

Just when Qin Zhibo was about to get closer to take a look, a white light suddenly flashed in front of him, causing him to stop in time.

I saw that there was an investigation point on the wall of the angel's base.

【Topographic Survey√】

【Be careful of high voltage current, do not touch! 】

Is there electricity on the wall?

Qin Zhibo subconsciously took a half step back, looking at the unremarkable wall. He was glad that he had done a terrain survey and could see the terrain traps, otherwise he would have been easily ambushed.

When Qin Zhibo learned that Yin Shichuan Gangsan had an Angel's Hall, he guessed that this place should not be that simple, and it might even be a trap set by the boss of the organization to lure him into it.

But when Qin Zhibo subconsciously looked around, he still couldn't see anyone around, nor did he find any surveillance cameras.

Strange……

Just as Qin Zhibo was about to leave, the clock on the angel's base suddenly "clicked", and the minute hand moved a small scale, overlapping with the hour hand.

As noon approached, the investigation points on the wall slowly disappeared.

"Ok?"

This was the first time Qin Zhibo encountered such a situation. The investigation point was lighting up and then disappeared on its own.

This situation only means that the electricity in the wall has disappeared.

At this moment, another investigation point suddenly lit up, also on the wall.
