Conan Rick's Investigator

Conan secretly made up his mind that he would definitely get to the bottom of it this time.

……

The Star Hotel, Las Vegas.

Qin Zhibo read the news for a while and found that it was just the same old story with no substantive conclusions, so he simply stopped reading.

He put on his clothes and came to Kuroba Kaito's room.

Dude, dunk, dunk.

After three knocks on the door, Terai Huangzhisuke came out and opened the door.

"Good afternoon, Mr. Qin."

"it is good……"

Before Qin Zhibo could finish his words, he heard the quarrel between Kuroba Kaito and Koizumi Akako coming from inside the room.

"You've been following me since the airport? What a disgusting thing!"

"Hey, if I hadn't come here, your life would have been taken away by the devil~"

"Even if you don't come, I can still save my life."

"Huh~ Just because you're a thief?"

Koizumi Hongzi held her waist and chatted with Heiba Kaito in the living room, just like a couple.

However, Qin Zhibo knew that both Kaito and Hongzi had their reasons for not being able to have feelings for each other.

The relationship between the two is more like that of confidants. After all, whether it is the identity of the thief or the identity of the witch, it can never be made public.

Even if he really marries Nakamori Aoko one day, Kuroba Kaito must never tell her, otherwise Nakamori Ginzo might have to go to Aoyama Mental Hospital.

Qin Zhibo came over and acted like a good guy, "Don't quarrel, don't quarrel~"

Seeing Qin Zhibo coming, the two men reluctantly stopped fighting, but they still looked dissatisfied with each other.

He walked up to Kuroba Kaito and whispered to him, "You'd better not quarrel with Hongzi now. Have you forgotten that she can use magic?"

After this reminder, Kuroba Kaito's bad memories of being punished by magic came to his mind again, and he shrank his neck nervously.

In fact, Qin Zhibo reminded Kuroba Kaito for his own good.

Now Koizumi Hongzi is parasitized by the feeder from within, and this parasitism will amplify the desires and evil in people's hearts.

In addition to her tireless pursuit of magic, Koizumi Akako's current desire should be Kaito Kid.

Perhaps this time, Koizumi Akako secretly flew from New York to Las Vegas because of the "breeder". Under normal circumstances, she would not care so much about Kidd's affairs, and at most she would just give him a few reminders.

Therefore, the more this happens, the more Kuroba Kaito should keep a low profile.

Otherwise, Qin Zhibo couldn't guarantee what would happen...

……

After warning Kuroba Kaito, the others got down to business.

Kuroba Kaito carefully took out the gems he had recovered last night and placed them on the coffee table.

Under ordinary indoor lighting, the thirty-eight-sided cube faintly emits a black light, appearing particularly mysterious.

"Is this the gem that can summon demons?"

Koizumi Akako looked at the gem on the coffee table curiously. Although she had read this legend in the magic book, the book did not describe what the gem looked like.

Kuroba Kaito explained, "When I first brought it back last night, the stone still didn't glow. But this morning it suddenly glowed again..."

Qin Zhibo pinched the gem with two fingers and looked at it carefully. After a moment, he put the gem back to its original place.

"It should be that every time the Night Demon is eliminated, it takes a day to recover."

"Otherwise, if he appeared as soon as darkness came, wouldn't he be invincible?"

"That's why it's called the 'Shining Trapezohedron.'"

Kuroba Kaito thought about it and it made sense, so he asked another extremely crucial question.

"So what should we do with this stone next?"

Qin Zhibo looked at the people present, all of whom were trustworthy, so he told them about the transaction between Heiyu Qianying and the Nine Angels Organization.

After a while, Kuroba Kaito's face was filled with shock.

"It turns out that my mother has been doing that kind of thing..."

During this time, Kuroba Kaito thought his mother was really traveling in Las Vegas.

On the other hand, Terai Kōnosuke next to him was relatively calm. He had always known that Kuroba Chikage was investigating the truth of that year in his own way.

Just then, Kuroba Kaito's phone rang.

He picked up the phone and heard the voice of Hei Yu Qianying on the other end.

"Kaito, how was your rest?"

"Mom, where are you now? I have a lot to say to you..." Kuroba Kaito did not answer Kuroba Chikage's question, but asked directly.

In the phone booth, Hei Yu Qianying raised the corner of his mouth slightly, "I'm ready to leave by car. I haven't completely cleared my suspicion yet, so I'm afraid I won't be able to meet you in the short term."

Kuroba Kaito remembered his infiltration plan, the side effect of which was that it made Kuroba Chikage a suspect.

"But as for that gem, I already have it."

"I know. I saw everything that happened in the room last night..."

Kuroba Chikage and Kuroba Kaito were communicating. Koizumi Hongzi next to them couldn't hear the voice on the other end of the phone, so she turned to ask Terai Konosuke.

"Who is Kuroba-san's mother?

What does it look like?

"Hmm..." Terai Huangzhisuke pondered for a moment, "He's a good man with a free and easy personality."

After hearing this comment, Koizumi Hongzi became even more curious about the person she had never met before, Kuroba Chikage.

What does the person who can raise Kaito Kidd look like?

But at the same time, she also thought of her mother, and her fingers unconsciously grasped the photo pendant on her snow-white neck.

……

After a while, Kuroba Kaito finished his phone call with Kuroba Chikage.

"My mom told me to wait here. Someone will come to collect the stones soon."

"And that person will also bring news about Pickman..."

Ever since Terai Konosuke told Kuroba Chikage about "Pickman", Kuroba Chikage has been keeping it in mind and asked the Nine Angels Organization to help investigate.

When it comes to investigating this type of information, the Nine Angels are quite efficient.

"Pickman? We've found his whereabouts!"

Terai Konosuke, who was sitting across from the sofa, was a little excited because he was very curious about this person whose existence he didn't even know about.

As the earliest assistant to meet Kuroba Toichi, even his encounter with the Phantom Thief Lady happened later.

But even he, the most senior one, had never heard of Pickman.

But in fact, Kuroba Toichi has a very close relationship with this Pickman, otherwise he would not let him draw a picture of himself wearing Kaito Kid's costume and frame it on the wall.

"Well, Mom said that person will be here as early as today."

Although Kuroba Kaito's tone was relatively calm, he was very excited inside.

Kuroba Kaito always feels like he can never uncover all the secrets about his father Kuroba Toichi.

From "The Phantom Thief Under the Moon" to "The Ghoul Under the Moon" to the painter Pickman.

After experiencing some things yesterday, Kuroba Kaito remembered that when he was listening to the teachings of Kuroba Toichi recorded on the phonograph in the secret base, he heard Kuroba Toichi mention that there is magic in this world.

That’s right, Kuroba Toichi once said that magic is real.

But at that time, Kuroba Kaito didn't take it seriously at all and just made a casual complaint.

Not long after that, he had his first encounter with Koizumi Hongzi, who called herself a "witch".

Now it seems that what Hei Yu Daoyi said was right, magic really exists in the world.

But the question is how did he know?

……

From noon to night, Qin Zhibo waited in Kuroba Kaito's room.

During this time, Koizumi Hongzi felt bored and went back to her room to rest.

Anyway, she doesn't really care about anything other than Kuroba Kaito himself.

What's even worse is that it wasn't until today that she learned that Kaito Kidd was divided into first and second generations.

As night fell, Terai Huangzhisuke went out and brought dinner for three people, and the three of them had dinner in the room.

After dinner, Qin Zhibo and Kuroba Kaito were lying on the sofa watching TV boredly.

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.

Dude, dunk, dunk.

The few people who were originally lazy in the room immediately sat up straight. Hei Yu Kaito gave a look and asked Terai Huang Zhisuke to go out to greet the guests.

"Who's out there?"

"We had arranged to meet before."

Terai Kōnosuke confirmed through the peephole on the door that there was only one person outside, so he opened the door.

The man wore a wide-brimmed hat and a neat gray high-necked windbreaker that covered half of his face. He also carried a black briefcase in his hand.

"Please come in."

Terai Huangzhisuke brought the man into the house and met Qin Zhibo and Kuroba Kaito who were already ready in the living room.

The man didn't exchange any unnecessary pleasantries. He sat down directly, put the briefcase at his feet, and got straight to the point.

"I'm here on a mission from the Nine Angels to retrieve the 'Shining Trapezohedron.' May I ask where that stone is now?"

"Don't be so anxious for now."

Qin Zhibo smiled slightly and stretched out his hand.

The man was stunned for a moment, but still took off his gloves and shook hands with Qin Zhibo.

【Survey√】

Name: Luc Villiers

Age: 43

Occupation: Investigator

……

There was nothing unusual in the identity information obtained from the investigation, so Qin Zhibo withdrew his hand.

"We have placed the stone somewhere, but before we hand it over, we would like to hear what useful information you can bring."

Qin Zhibo deliberately did not say what the specific news was, still in order to test the other party's identity.

If he was really sent by the Nine Angels, he would definitely know about this kind of thing.

When the man heard this, he took off his hat and chuckled.

"Mr. Qin, you are just as I guessed. You are very vigilant."

Chapter 1021 Sunflower

Luc Villiers suddenly mentioned Qin Zhibo's name, which surprised everyone present.

Could it be that Hei Yu Qianying told him?

But before the formal meeting, Hei Yu Qianying should know to hide some important information to prevent any accidents.
