Conan Rick's Investigator

Qin Zhibo calculated in his mind that he was 1984 years old in 25.

In other words, the 25-year-old "self" is an FBI investigator.

Now, Qin Zhibo finally understood why he had the professional skill of firearms.

There was only one envelope left. Qin Zhibo quickly pulled the letter out of the envelope and read the contents.

The letter was written in Japanese and consisted of only a few short sentences.

……

Thank you very much for your help, but the following is not the area you should touch.

But if you insist on finding the truth, then come to Japan.

After arriving in Japan, please contact Hondou Eikai at: ▇▇▇▇▇

……

The numbers behind the phone number on the letter were blacked out, and Qin Zhibo couldn't tell what kind of number it was.

There was no information about the sender or recipient on the envelope; it was a completely blank envelope.

But on the back of the envelope, Qin Zhibo still found a useful clue.

That is the production date on the lower right corner of the back of the envelope. The year is 1992, which is four years ago.

Then, Qin Zhibo pulled out the last drawer.

The contents of this drawer are quite simple, just a dozen postcards.

Qin Zhibo took a quick look and found that all the postcards were pictures of the Hawaiian Islands with no words written on them.

Qin Zhibo put all the photos, letters and postcards back in their original places and rethought the situation he had currently understood.

1. I am a Japanese American, and my original name is Vince Qin.

2. There are two Japanese friends with clear names, Yasuharu Haneda and Tsutomu Akai.

3. There is a high probability that you lived in Hawaii before adulthood, otherwise you would not have a large number of Hawaii postcards.

4. Studied at Miskatoon during college.

5. He used to work for the FBI, has good shooting skills, and has a boss who is worth taking a photo with.

6. In order to investigate a certain truth, under the guidance of someone, he came to Japan at most four years ago, established a detective agency, and used the pseudonym Qin Zhibo.

7. There is a person I need to contact, Hondou Eikai, but it is very likely that I have not been able to contact him, otherwise I would not have kept this letter until now.

After sorting out these seven identities in his mind, Qin Zhibo had to admit that he seemed to be possessed by a "troublesome" guy.

The American FBI lurking in Japanese society...

Could it be a spy?

Qin Zhibo thought carefully about what happened today. First of all, it was a bit unreasonable for him to appear in Suyu's house.

The people attending the party at Su Yu's house tonight are either rich or noble, or well-known figures in society like the high school detective. Why would I, a person with a social credit of only 1200, appear among them?

Add to that the large amount of money in the passbook that came from unknown sources...

The more Qin Zhibo thought about it, the more uneasy he felt, as if his identity as a SPY was somehow confirmed.

Chapter 10 Newcomers to the Ghoul Society

Qin Zhibo, lying on the bed in the bedroom, slowly opened his eyes.

Yesterday, Qin Zhibo conducted a large-scale search in the office because he suspected that he was a spy sent to Japan by relevant US authorities.

As a result, no dangerous goods were found, but when Qin Zhibo searched the bed in the bedroom, he suddenly felt very sleepy and fell asleep directly on the bed.

When I woke up, it was already noon the next day.

After washing up in the small bathroom, Qin Zhibo stretched his aching body and sat down in the boss chair.

Although no prohibited dangerous goods were found in the office, Qin Zhibo still could not let his guard down.

In order to avoid his situation being discovered by the original owner's acquaintances, or being inexplicably involved in the things the original owner came to Japan to do, Qin Zhibo believed that he should try to avoid meeting people the original owner once knew.

Especially the one named Hondou Eikai.

According to the information obtained yesterday, the original owner came to Japan to contact the man named "Hondou Eikai" first, but for some reason, the contact failed.

The only thing that worries Qin Zhibo now is that Hondou Yinghai will take the initiative to find him.

After all, Japan is not a vast country with abundant resources. The area of the entire country is only the size of a province in China. The probability of meeting may be higher than imagined.

So Qin Zhibo felt that he should be careful and attentive to the men who approached him.

Hondou Eikai, this should be a male name.

This is what Qin Zhibo guessed.

……

Lying in the boss chair, Qin Zhibo felt a little bored.

There was not much business coming to the office, so Qin Zhibo turned on the TV.

The content playing on TV is a current affairs news dialogue program.

The program is hosted by a male and female pair. The male host has an ordinary appearance, which makes the female host next to him look young, beautiful and elegant.

The neat ponytail, two strands of hair sticking up from the forehead, and the exquisite makeup even made Qin Zhibo want to "investigate" her personally to see how many points the appearance system would give her.

The subtitles that appeared at the bottom of the TV screen showed that the female anchor's name was Rena Mizunashi.

"He can even be said to be the savior of the Japanese police!"

The male anchor's words at this time made Qin Zhibo realize that the news on TV was exactly the case that happened at Su Yu's house yesterday.

The male anchor was vigorously promoting the person who solved yesterday's case, Kudo Shinichi.

Although Kudo Shinichi did not accept an interview yesterday, according to the people at the scene, the police still relied on Kudo Shinichi's reasoning to catch the murderer.

So at this time, the TV program played a photo of Kudo Shinichi when he was on TV before, and combined it with the daily press releases promoting Kudo Shinichi, it could stir up another topic.

After seeing this news, Qin Zhibo also remembered that he still had an important thing to do.

Qin Zhibo turned off the TV with a click of the remote control and turned on the big-butt computer on the desk.

The computer is running an old W95 system, and the desktop takes some time to load, but at least it shows that this computer is not just for decoration.

While the desktop was loading, Qin Zhibo took out the note that Matsumoto Ryohei had written to him yesterday from his coat.

On the note was the URL of the secret website of the Corpse-Eating Cult's frenzied members.

I entered the URL into the search box using the keyboard. After a few seconds of response, a precise search result popped up on the almost blank page.

I moved the mouse slightly and clicked on the web page, and the screen that was so white that it was dazzling suddenly turned black.

This is a webpage with a pure black background. At the most eye-catching top of the webpage are two large words made with bloody dripping effects.

Food club.

Slide the mouse wheel to continue browsing.

This webpage is crudely made, with no layout or aesthetics at all. Bloody and vulgar animations and low-quality textures are randomly listed in a pile, and large blocks of red and black color almost fill the entire webpage.

Most people can tell at a glance that this is a worthless junk webpage and then close it.

But Qin Zhibo came here with a purpose after all, so he patiently slid the mouse wheel and finally found something valuable.

At the bottom of the food club's website, there is a public message board.

This kind of message board does not require real-name registration. You can post on the message board by just creating a nickname. The time of posting will also be marked at the end of the post.

There is currently only one post on the message board, and it was posted a week ago.

【oんo: Is anyone there? 】

There was no response below this message, as if confirming that this was a dead website.

Although he was a little annoyed, Qin Zhibo had no choice but to use the oldest method.

Just wait.

Next, Qin Zhibo turned on the computer and TV at the same time, watching TV to kill time while paying attention to whether anyone replied to the message board.

In order to make the messages on the message board more timely and convenient for fishing, Qin Zhibo gave himself a nickname and left a new message on the message board.

[Matsumoto Ryohei: I'm also a fan of "that aspect", is there anyone else?]

The previous message was obviously from a passerby who knew nothing, so Qin Zhibo guessed that the people from the food-crazy faction might have been cautious and did not reply to that passerby.

Therefore, Qin Zhibo used quotation marks in his message to imply that he also has that special fetish, and expressed his "loyalty" first.

I used Matsumoto Ryohei's name as a nickname to try my luck and see if there was anyone here who knew Matsumoto Ryohei and would talk to me.

Qin Zhibo's plan was very good, but from noon until nightfall, there were no new messages on the message board.

After spending the entire afternoon looking at this disgusting and low-quality web page, Qin Zhibo felt like his eyes were going blind.

But just when Qin Zhibo was about to turn off the computer and go out to find something to eat, the purple font on the message board suddenly jumped.

New message!

Qin Zhibo quickly sat back in his chair and stared at the new message.

【Crazy Foodie: Hey, new here?】

It seems that he doesn't know Ryohei Matsumoto, but that's not a big deal.

Qin Zhibo waited for more than half a minute, not seeming too deliberate, before continuing to leave a message on the message board.

[Matsumoto Ryohei: Yes, I'm not very familiar with eating. Do you have any experience or tips?]

Qin Zhibo had no idea how these people usually communicated, so he simply pretended to be a newcomer.

Staring at the message board on the screen, Qin Zhibo anxiously waited for a reply, but fifteen minutes later, the message board scrolled again.

[Crazy Foodie: I don't have time to impart my experience to you now]

[Crazy Food: I just saw a little girl going in and out of the Beihu Restaurant alone. I followed her for a bit, but there wasn't an adult around her.]

[Crazy Food: I'm really broke lately. Anyone who can stay in a hotel like this must be from a wealthy family, and they can extort a pretty penny.]

[Crazy Food: I can enjoy a snack after I get the money. What great luck!]

"Kuang De Kou Shi" seemed to be showing off to others. He said several words in a row and then stopped talking.

And in Qin Zhibo's field of vision, a text description of the new task appeared.

……

Side quest: Resolve the kidnapping of a young girl.

Mission requirements: Time limit is 1 hour. Mission will be considered failed if the girl dies.

Mission reward: 300 general skill proficiency, 100 social credit.

Chapter 11 His name is Conan, he is a detective

A taxi sped past on the highway from Mihua Town to Beihu Town.

Twenty minutes ago, Qin Zhibo had just learned from the message of "Kuang De Kou Shi" that he was currently in Beihu Town, when he suddenly received a side quest from the system, so he had to rush to Beihu Town without stopping.

Although the incident happened suddenly, Qin Zhibo roughly knew the rules of the system's task issuance.

The system's tasks are not released on a scheduled or advance basis, but are only released when there are some triggers for related events.

This is the so-called triggered task.

If this kind of task is placed in a game, it can often bring some surprises to the players.

But in reality, this kind of sudden task only brings surprise, not joy.

In addition, the two side quests encountered here both had time limits, and Qin Zhibo's sense of time in this world was not so accurate, so he had almost no time to prepare.

It seems I have to get used to this kind of life in the future...
