Conan Rick's Investigator

……

The next day, Qin Zhibo said goodbye to Koizumi Hongzi and boarded the plane ticket to Las Vegas that the hotel had helped book the day before.

Eleven hours later, a huge iron bird flying in the sky - a Boeing 11 landed at McCarran International Airport in Las Vegas.

Qin Zhibo arrived first and checked directly into the hotel attached to the Star Casino.

According to the preview letter released by Kaito Black Crow, the "Black Crow in the Night" is now stored in the vault of the Star Casino.

Normally, such private collections will not be made public even if they are coveted by thieves.

However, the warning letter from Kaito Crow was not only sent to the casino, but also to the local police in Las Vegas, which led to the incident being widely reported.

However, the casino does not seem to have invited the police to cooperate in capturing the Phantom Thief Crow yet, and only allows the police to deploy personnel around the casino.

After putting his luggage in the hotel room, Qin Zhibo naturally went to the casino first.

Like most casinos in Las Vegas, the Star Casino is located on the first floor of the hotel. Every time you go out, you can't avoid hearing the "clattering" sound of game coins and chips rolling.

That's the sound of money.

Many tourists who did not come here for the purpose of gambling could not help but go in and have a gamble because of the novelty and stimulation of the sounds and atmosphere.

At the beginning, the casino will arrange for tourists to make a small profit to let new tourists have a taste of the sweetness. This is called the novice protection period.

As tourists get deeper and deeper into the game and the stakes increase, the casino will resort to some technical means.

Of course, large casinos like the Star Casino generally don't use this method too obviously. The casino can make a lot of money just by relying on customer flow and basic odds.

But casinos use the information registered in the hotel check-in system to check the background of each visitor.

Casinos will still pay special attention to those guests with substantial assets.

Staff in black suits can be seen in the casino at any time. They have pocket headsets hanging on their ears. On the surface, they are the casino's technical consultants, but in fact they are the manipulators who control the odds and secretly manipulate the gambling.

They mainly take care of the prominent "fat sheep".

For these "fat sheep", the casino can play the long game to catch big fish. A single trip can even allow the fat sheep to make a small profit, attracting them to bring more money to spend next time.

But as we all know, when the sheep are fat enough, it is time to slaughter them.

……

Qin Zhibo first went to the chip exchange counter to exchange for 10 chips, and all the chips were exchanged for the smallest chips.

"Here are your chips, please take them."

The pretty lady behind the counter had a warm smile on her face as she handed out 10 white chips from the window. She didn't show any sarcasm of a brainless villain because of Qin Zhibo's stingy move.

Unlike movies like "God of Gamblers", real casinos rarely have such large-scale ones.

Even rich people are not fools who throw money away. If they are not familiar with the rules and are not confident in their luck, they will not choose big chips right away.

Qin Zhibo is very unconfident about his luck, so there is no need for him to give money.

He was playing with the plastic pieces that represented chips in his hands while moving between the various gambling tables.

The technical consultant of the casino looked at the few lowest chips in Qin Zhibo's hand, and since he didn't receive any "fat sheep" signals, he knew that he was just an individual customer with nothing to be exploited, so he didn't care.

But in fact, Qin Zhibo was just taking the opportunity to observe the structure of the casino.

Currently, the places where casino tourists can go are the gambling tables or slot machine areas where real money is played, as well as the bar area.

But on the east wall, there is a red wooden lacquered door that opens to the left and right, which is always closed.

Although there is no "No Tourists Allowed" sign at that place, it should be the backstage of the casino, and the casino vault is also behind that place.

Qin Zhibo held a few chips in his hand and slowly approached without making any noise.

In front of the gambling table closest to the red door, Qin Zhibo once again pretended to be unhappy and shook his head, then walked straight towards the red door.

At this moment, the two technical consultants standing nearby immediately tilted their heads and turned their gaze to Qin Zhibo who was approaching the red door.

"Someone is approaching the 'treasure cave'."

"Go check it out right away."

The two technical consultants received the message in their headsets and immediately walked quickly towards Qin Zhibo.

Qin Zhibo also felt someone following him, which confirmed his thoughts.

He suddenly stopped in front of the door and squatted down to tie his shoe.

This action stunned the two technical consultants who were about to step forward to stop him, and they stood there in a daze.

But after Qin Zhibo tied his shoelaces, he took the initiative to walk to the side.

Technical Advisor: “?”

The two of them looked at each other, and it felt as if all the strength in their body had suddenly gone nowhere.

……

Qin Zhibo came to the men's restroom of the casino and immediately used the [Glass Bottle] to summon Minase Yangmeng.

As soon as Minase Yangmeng came out, she looked around and found herself in the toilet.

"There's a urinal here, could it be... the men's room!"

Minase Harumi deliberately put on a frightened expression, hugging her upper body tightly with both hands, "Are you finally going to do that to me?"

"If you make a sound here, you will be discovered, and your reputation will be ruined, and you will never be able to get married again!"

"Silent invasion, huh? Come on! I'm ready!"

"...I'm coming to your head!"

Qin Zhibo couldn't help but yell at Minase Yangmeng who was leaning against the toilet door and pretending to be pitiful.

This ghost stays in the glass bottle. When he is bored, does he often replay the plot of the movie in his head?

Can't you learn something good?!

Life is like a box of chocolates, you never know what you're going to get... Can't we watch more movies like this?

Qin Zhibo was unable to stop Minase Yangmeng's strange hobby, so he could only quickly change the topic to business.

"I want you to see where a door in this place leads to..."

"Which door?"

Minase Yangmeng straightened up, floated behind Qin Zhibo and stared at him, "Is this the door?"

Qin Zhibo: "If you don't behave properly, I'll take you back..."

Hearing this, Minase Yangmeng immediately begged for mercy.

"do not!"

……

Qin Zhibo brought Minase Yangmeng, who had returned to his normal state, to a gambling table and whispered.

"I'm looking at that red door now. Go and see what's behind it..."

"Order!"

Minase Yangmeng walked over slowly, and his body went directly into the red door and disappeared completely.

Qin Zhibo looked at this scene and lamented that his particleization skills were still far less convenient than those of the ghost.

While waiting for Minase Yangmeng to come back, Qin Zhibo continued to pretend to wander around the gambling table. In fact, he had no intention of pulling out a knife at all. He didn't intend to pay any attention to the B, but just wanted to create an atmosphere.

But while waiting, Qin Zhibo suddenly discovered that the atmosphere at one of the gambling tables was very lively, with many onlookers nearby.

Since they were all just watching the fun to pass the time, Qin Zhibo walked over and found that everyone was watching a short-haired woman placing bets.

Because there were so many people watching, Qin Zhibo could only stand at the back and use his height advantage to observe the situation at the gambling table.

"5000! I don't believe I won't win this time!"

The short-haired woman rolled up her black lace sleeves, looking like she was ready to kill, and pushed a handful of golden chips into area 14.

Seeing this, other gamblers placed their chips in other areas, and no one followed suit.

"Please confirm your purchase and leave."

The dealer opened the dice cup, revealing three dice inside, which were 346, adding up to 13.

Everyone around the gambling table sighed, because by coincidence, no one rolled 13 points in this round, and the dealer killed everyone.

But among those whose mood instantly dropped, only the short-haired woman didn't care at all that she lost the most, and instead continued to clamor for bets.

"Ouch! Just a little bit more! What a pity!"

"Come again! Come again!"

The woman continued to squander the chips in front of her, and this time she put all the chips in the 13-point area.

This wave of operations made Qin Zhibo stunned. Is there any way to play like this?

Even if the probability is constant, according to the average person's psychology, no one would think that the same number can be drawn twice in a row, right?

But the short-haired woman did it anyway, and even nonchalantly asked the people around her to follow suit.

These gamblers seemed to have long known how powerful women were. They politely shook their heads and refused, placing their small chips in the area next to them again.

After confirmation, the dealer opens the sieve again.

The three dice inside are 424, and the total is 10.

This time, a lucky person guessed the number correctly. The odds were 1:6, and $150 became $900. His face immediately turned red with excitement.

But the dealer representing the banker was obviously more excited than the winning player, because in this one time alone, the short-haired woman lost all her chips.

That’s a full $24000!

But the woman's mentality did not collapse at all. Instead, she gave a hearty smile and said that she had no chips left and was going to exchange them and come back to fight again.

The woman turned around with a smile, and her eyes met Qin Zhibo's for a moment.

Qin Zhibo took advantage of this moment to see the woman's face clearly.

The woman had short pink-purple hair, a hairstyle similar to Haibara Ai's. Her delicate facial features were covered with crimson lipstick and delicate makeup, and she was clearly dressed like a spendthrift lady.

More importantly, Qin Zhibo saw the name above her head.

Name: Kuroba Chikage...

Chapter 1010 Parents' Meeting

Kuroba Chikage?

The last name is Hei Yu...

Qin Zhibo's eyes froze for a moment as he thought.

At this time, the spendthrift lady moved and headed towards the chip exchange area.

Qin Zhibo immediately followed with the 10 chips in his hand.

I saw Hei Yu Qianying elegantly take out two stacks of US dollars from her shiny black crocodile leather ladies' handbag, and the young lady behind the counter quickly exchanged them for a large number of chips.

"Thank you~"

"But please keep it for me while I go to the bathroom."

Hei Yu Qianying did not take the chips immediately, but walked outside the casino and walked along the red carpet on the marble towards the hotel.

Do you want to go back to the room to use the bathroom?

Qin Zhibo guessed this in his mind. Rich people often have some class consciousness and would not use public toilets if possible.

Hei Yu Qianying walked gracefully through the hotel lobby, and Qin Zhibo followed from a distance behind, almost blending into the crowd.

But the lady walked faster and faster, and quickly got into the elevator on the side of the hotel lobby.

Seeing this, Qin Zhibo immediately followed from the lobby, wanting to determine the floor by the elevator floor indicator light.

But when I got to the elevator, I found that the elevator had not gone down at all and was still stopped on the 12th floor.

Qin Zhibo narrowed his eyes slightly, and then realized that he had been deceived.

Suddenly, a fragrant breeze blew from behind, and Qin Zhibo felt a hard object against his lower back.
