Conan Rick's Investigator

“Come back!”

It turned out that the reporters at the press conference wanted to take a close-up of the painting. At this time, Kuroba Kaito walked to the front and just blocked half of the camera.

“Sorry.”

Kuroba Kaito apologized and quickly retreated.

This scene has been broadcast live around the world.

In Dr. Agasa's house, Conan, who was sitting on the sofa, was stunned when he saw that half face.

Ok?

Why does this person look like me?

It's like they were carved out of the same mold...

Huiyuan Ai, who was sitting next to him, said coldly: "You seem surprised?"

"Yeah, that guy..."

"Don't be surprised. People say you can always find someone exactly like you in the world."

When Conan heard this, although he felt a little relieved, he still lowered his eyes.

"I don't know why, but knowing that there are people who look like me always makes me feel a little uncomfortable..."

Huiyuan Ai put one hand on her chin and said, "Actually, there are many people who look like you, like that boy from Osaka..."

"Hey, hey~" Conan protested helplessly, "How does Hattori look like me? Even the skin color is completely different, okay?"

"Besides, isn't there anyone in the world who looks exactly like you?"

Haibara Ai glanced at Conan sideways, then looked at the TV calmly and sighed.

"That person is truly pitiful... I hope 'she' isn't mistaken for Shirley by the organization."

Conan fell into silence as he looked at Haibara Ai who suddenly became pessimistic again.

Although the sniper incident in Haido Park has happened a few days ago, the organization's hunt for "Sherry" will not stop, and Haibara Ai still lives in the shadow of the organization.

Moreover, Conan has explained this to Haibara Ai many times, but Haibara Ai still refuses to accept that Gin is really dead.

It can only be said that Gin’s “weight” is too heavy in Haibara Ai’s heart.

……

At the press conference, Suzuki Jirokichi announced the major discovery under "Sunflowers", and Suzuki Sonoko took this opportunity to mention the other six "Sunflowers".

"Our Suzuki Foundation is planning to hold a sunflower exhibition in Japan, collecting all paintings depicting sunflowers in vases scattered around the world."

"We are officially announcing that the Sunflower Exhibition will be held at the Ray Kroc Museum of Art, owned by the foundation!"

After Suzuki Sonoko's announcement, reporters in the audience asked questions one after another.

When asked how safety was guaranteed, Suzuki Jirokichi announced, "I've invited seven experts this time to ensure that everything, from storage to transportation to security, is foolproof!"

"In addition to Mr. Qin, there are 6 other warriors!"

According to the process rehearsed in advance, except for Qin Zhibo who had already gone on stage, the remaining five people also stood on the stage and introduced their identities and responsibilities.

Since Natsumi Miyadai was a prisoner, there was one less warrior to protect the treasure, so Jiro Suzuki temporarily added another candidate.

"The last person is the one who will be responsible for strengthening the security measures after the painting arrives in Japan. His name is Maori Kogoro!"

Just now, Sonoko called Maori Ran and borrowed Maori Kogoro's name to make up the number temporarily.

The reporter continued to ask, "If you can't gather all the sunflowers, will you still exhibit the ones you bid for?"

"No." Suzuki Jirokichi smiled confidently, "Unless all seven paintings arrive, there's no deal."

"But what if..."

"No need to worry."

Jirokichi Suzuki interrupted the reporter and said, "It has been my long-held dream to hold a sunflower exhibition, and I have never failed to realize a dream."

“Wahahahaha——!”

Jirokichi Suzuki laughed heartily at the camera.

But at this moment, a playing card flew out and hit the carpet on the stage. One side of the playing card was printed with a Q version of Kidd.

When Qin Zhibo saw this card, his pupils shrank and he almost shouted out.

Hey! Wrong!

I already know where it is!

When Sonoko saw the Kidd image on the card, she immediately broke down and turned into a little fangirl, "Lord Kidd!"

Everyone at the scene was shocked, and Charlie immediately looked around for the suspect who launched the Kidka.

Kuroba Kaito, who was hiding in the crowd, stopped pretending and made a gorgeous turn, appearing in the venue in a dazzling Kidd skin.

"Kid, Kidd!"

"Put your hands up!"

Charlie raised his pistol and pointed it at the Kaito Kidd who suddenly appeared, but Kidd was not at all panicked and shot the rope gun at the ceiling.

As the rope of the rope gun tightened, Kidd took off on the spot and used the rope gun to float back and forth like Tarzan.

Although Charlie on the stage aimed his pistol, there were too many people at the scene, and he didn't dare to shoot directly because he was afraid to do so.

In a few moments, Kidd easily swung out of the venue's door, blended into the crowd and disappeared.

……

After returning to the hotel, Qin Zhibo found Kuroba Kaito who had just been showing off in the hotel.

"what?"

"You already know where it is!"

Kuroba Kaito originally thought that the information on one painting was not comprehensive enough, so he released the Kidka preview and planned to steal two paintings for further research.

But now Qin Zhibo understood it all with just the information from one painting.

"where is it!"

He was very excited and asked quickly.

Qin Zhibo didn't keep the topic a secret and explained, "The place depicted in the painting is a place called 'Xin's Tombs'. This place doesn't belong to any country, not even this world."

"Not belonging to this world?" Kuroba Kaito asked doubtfully.

"Yes, that's in the 'Dreamland', a place you need to dream to reach, but there is also a real-world space channel that can lead you there."

"If the information on the painting is correct, Pickman should have gone to this place."

"There happens to be a passage leading to that world underground in New York..."

When Kuroba Kaito heard this, he immediately excitedly said that he would go tonight.

Qin Zhibo thought about it and agreed.

"But you have to be prepared, that place is a land of ghouls."

Kuroba Kaito swallowed nervously. He had only seen that kind of dog-headed man in paintings before, but now he was going to see the real thing.

However, in order to find his father's trace, he nodded firmly.

Terai Huangzhisuke who was standing next to him also stepped forward and said, "Master, I'm going too."

The master and servant looked at each other and saw persistence in each other's eyes.

"Ok!"

"go together."

……

In the room, Kuroba Kaito and Terai Kōnosuke were packing their things, preparing to leave at midnight.

At this time, Qin Zhibo's phone rang.

I picked up the phone and heard a woman's voice on the other end.

"I'm Nancy, the one I spoke to last time. I saw you on the news on TV."

"Are you leaving the United States soon?"

"Well, before I leave, I want to go see where that ghoul you mentioned lives..."

Qin Zhibo was stunned.

Am I a tour guide?

Chapter 1027 "She is not the kind of woman you imagine"

Midnight, New York subway.

Qin Zhibo, Kuroba Kaito, and Terai Huangzhisuke stood at the entrance of the subway station, waiting for Nancy to arrive.

When they were at the hotel, Qin Zhibo had already told the two that they would be adding one more person on this trip.

After waiting for twenty minutes, a yellow taxi stopped at the corner.

A young woman got out of the car, wrapped in an ill-fitting beige windbreaker and a wide-brimmed hat in the night, and hurried towards here.

She ran to Qin Zhibo and lifted the hat that was covering her face slightly.

"I have arrived……"

"Huh...huh..."

Nancy was breathing heavily as she spoke, and her eyes kept stealing glances at Kuroba Kaito and Terai Kōnosuke beside her.

Since she acquired a special physique, she rarely goes out. Due to lack of exercise and insufficient "food", she usually relies on the care of other N cell members.

Kuroba Kaito bent his legs slightly and looked at Nancy under the brim of her hat. He found that she was a young and charming Western beauty, and he immediately became interested.

"Hello~"

"My name is Kuroba Kaito, please give me your guidance."

Kuroba Kaito put on a handsome and confident expression, lifted his hair, and extended his right hand in a friendly manner.

But Nancy just glanced at him coldly as if he were a "little brat", then took a step sideways and walked towards the subway entrance.

This made Hei Yu Kaito stunned for a moment. His invincible pick-up technique that never failed was actually ineffective?

Qin Zhibo patted Kuroba Kaito's shoulder in a comforting manner and said earnestly, "Give up. Your trick won't work on her."

"She's not the kind of woman you imagine."

"Huh?" Kuroba Kaito scratched his head in confusion.

……

The four bought subway tickets at the ticket office and entered the subway station.

There was not a single passenger waiting to board the subway at the midnight station.

Under the cold light, scraps of paper lay around the iron mesh trash cans, and the gaps between the floor tiles were filled with dirt, which perfectly matched the outside world's imagination of the New York subway as dirty and messy.

Qin Zhibo led the three of them to the edge of the subway platform, jumped from the steps onto the subway tracks, and then walked deeper along the tracks.

When we were halfway there, we could hear a faint roar coming from the rumbling tunnel.

"The subway is coming, everyone stand aside!"

Qin Zhibo called out, and the four of them stood close to the wall.

After waiting for more than ten seconds, the subway appeared from behind and quickly arrived at where they were.

The lights from the subway windows flickered across the faces of several people, and a weak suction force emanated from the air around the subway, lifting the clothes of several people.

After waiting for the subway to pass, they continued walking forward.

After walking for about half an hour, they arrived at the underground shaft where the two gangs of zombies had fought last time.

There are no stairs here, so you can only go down by parkour on the complicated abandoned water pipes.
