Conan Rick's Investigator

"Yeah, I'll come too."

……

Led by Inukai, the two visited the medical area of the pet hospital.

The medical area has two parts, one is the treatment area and the other is the observation area.

The observation area is equivalent to the inpatient department of a hospital. Rows of iron cages contain various pets, including cats, dogs, rabbits, squirrels and the like.

Some of the pets are kept in the hospital for observation, while others have their owners go out for something and temporarily leave their pets in the pet hospital.

When we arrived at the medical area, Nurse Akiyama was vaccinating Toru Amuro's dog.

This is not a difficult job. Nurse Akiyama used to give injections to humans, and it is a bit of a waste of her skills to give injections to animals now.

After watching Toru Amuro's dog get vaccinated, Qin Zhibo suddenly asked Inukai.

"If you want to become a veterinarian, what kind of books do you usually read to gain relevant knowledge?"

Inukai was stunned for a moment. "Books? Some books on veterinary medicine? Mr. Qin, would you like to read them too?"

"Well, it's a documentary after all, so the more realistic it is, the better."

"I see..." Inukai thought for a moment, "Then I happen to have some relevant reference books here. If Mr. Qin needs them, I'll give them to you."

Inukai asked someone to bring a few books, all of which had cute little animals drawn on the covers, so that the contents of the books could be seen at a glance.

"Thank you."

Qin Zhibo accepted the book without hesitation, intending to go back and "investigate" it thoroughly to supplement his theoretical knowledge.

At this time, a pet owner came to the medical area with his cat in his arms, greeted by a nurse.

Qin Zhibo knew that Mimi, the first person to embrace "loss" today, had arrived.

At this time, the big, watery eyes of this short blue cat were still full of confusion, and it didn't understand that it was about to lose one of the most important things in its life.

……

Ten minutes later, two extremely precious pink objects appeared on the tray next to Inukai.

"The operation ends here."

"Next, wait for the anesthesia effect to pass in the observation area. You may become incontinent during this period. Just put a layer of diapers in the cage."

"Also, after you take the cat in, be careful not to let it lick its wounds; male cats recover faster, so you can feed them normally at night..."

Inukai's last words were to the pet owner, who was also watching from the side and even took out a camera to take a picture.

As for the two cats that were removed, the pet owner held them in his hand and placed them next to the cat's face, which was still under anesthesia, and took an extremely weird photo.

Since the cat's eyes are open after being anesthetized, it needs eye drops to prevent dryness, so it looks like the cat tilted its head to watch itself being cut, and shed tears of pain.

“Haha, that’s so interesting~”

The pet owner smiled heartlessly.

If the roles were reversed and his penis was cut off and placed aside, he wouldn't be able to laugh at all.

Qin Zhibo watched the operation very carefully, which could be described as meticulous.

In fact, the operation stage of male cat sterilization surgery is not difficult. It is just to make a small incision at a key position and take out the two eggs. The wound caused is very small and does not even need to be sutured.

But the problem is that before the operation, vaccinations, anesthesia, and eye drops are required, which are not easy to do in the dreamland.

Compared to Qin Zhibo's seriousness, Amuro Toru next to him did not focus on the operation at all, and kept thinking about Scotch whisky in his mind.

His dog had already been vaccinated, but he did not leave because he wanted to ask Qin Zhibo for clarification.

How did Scotch whisky become the organizational cadre to replace Gin?

Scotch Whisky is recognized as dead within the organization, and his undercover identity cannot be cleared.

Even if Shuichi Akai had great abilities, it would be impossible for him to allow Scotch Whisky to go undercover in the organization again.

unless……

Amuro Toru thought of a possibility.

But as soon as this possibility came into his mind, his body couldn't help but tremble slightly.

……

Next, Qin Zhibo observed the sterilization surgery of a female cat.

The sterilization surgery for female cats is relatively complicated, taking more than 40 minutes and requiring stitches.

Qin Zhibo wrote down some key points of the operation, and with Inugami's explanation, he basically understood it.

I need to read some more books when I go back to supplement my theoretical knowledge.

Before leaving, Inukai handed the promotional poster of his hospital to Qin Zhibo.

When they arrived at the hospital, Qin Zhibo took the initiative to get into Amuro Toru's car.

As soon as the car door was closed, Toru Amuro couldn't wait to ask about that matter.

"How do you know it's Scotch?"

Qin Zhibo raised his eyebrows slightly, "Although I left the organization, I still have some intelligence channels of my own..."

"This, this is impossible."

Toru Amuro shook his head slightly. It was not that he did not believe that Qin Zhibo had established his own intelligence channel, but he did not believe that the person would be Scotch Whisky.

"It can't be him, it's definitely not him..."

"Because he's dead..."

"Oh?" Qin Zhibo frowned slightly. "Dead? Did you see it with your own eyes?"

Amuro Toru was silent for a few seconds, and finally made up his mind to tell the whole story.

"I am sure."

"And I know that guy. His real name is Morifushi Jingguang. He's the Japanese public security officer who went undercover with me in the organization!"

"I saw him die with my own eyes...at the gunpoint of Shuichi Akai."

When talking about "dying at the gunpoint of Shuichi Akai", Toru Amuro hesitated.

Because in his later recollection, he realized that the person who pulled the trigger was actually Morufushi Kagemitsu himself.

But for so long, he always believed that it was Shuichi Akai who did not save him and forced Keimitsu Morobushi to commit suicide, so he had a grudge against Shuichi Akai.

"Even if Jingguang was still alive, the only person who could save him at that time was Shuichi Akai..."

"It must be Akai Shuichi!"

Amuro Toru's voice became more and more excited, and his words were obviously inconsistent.

He knew in his heart that Zhufu Jingguang was still alive, and he had already felt relieved.

In the previous Gunma prisoner escape incident, the Tokyo Tower bombing case, and last week's sniper Gin, there were signs that Morobushi Kagemitsu was still alive.

But compared to Morifushi Kagemitsu replacing Gin and becoming a cadre of the organization, he would rather think that Morifushi Kagemitsu is dead.

But in fact, he had to face the fact that Zhu Fu Jingguang was still alive.

"It was Shuichi Akai who controlled Jingguang! It must be like this!"

Amuro Toru cannot trust his companions at all costs and thinks they will become the organization's pawns.

He didn't know what Shuichi Akai's plan was, but he believed it was like this and it had to be like this.

The five-member police academy team swore an oath together under the cherry tree!

Qin Zhibo looked at Toru Amuro who was gritting his teeth, and guessed that Toru Amuro must have a very deep friendship with this Keimitsu Morobushi.

Because of this, Qin Zhibo calmly placed his hand on his shoulder and told him the truth.

"I'm sorry, but your reasoning is flawed."

"Because Akai Shuichi is dead..."

"die……"

Toru Amuro's eyes widened, revealing shock, confusion, and disbelief.

After a while, he slowly came to his senses and asked.

"He's dead? How did you know?"

Qin Zhibo's eyes were gloomy. "Because I saw him being murdered with my own eyes, just like you."

"Murdered..." Amuro Toru frowned, his face showing a complex emotion. "Who killed him?"

Qin Zhibo replied: "Vermouth."

"Vermouth?"

Toru Amuro was a little surprised. With Vermouth's ability, it was a bit of a joke for her to want to kill Shuichi Akai.

A year ago, Vermouth attacked Shuichi Akai, but ended up returning in a miserable state with injuries.

After that, even the boss of the organization was afraid of Shuichi Akai's strength and did not dare to attack him easily.

But looking at Qin Zhibo's extremely serious eyes, Toru Amuro didn't seem to be lying.

"What exactly is going on?"

"How did you get to know Akai Shuichi, and how did he die?"

"I won't believe you until I see the evidence."

Toru Amuro's tone became serious, and a hint of ferocity appeared in his eyes as he glared at Qin Zhibo.

Qin Zhibo looked at Amuro Toru's fierce eyes and did not explain immediately. Instead, he raised his hand to look at his watch to confirm the time.

"The plane will land around evening..."

"How about this? Meet in front of the clock tower in the center of Jianggutian Town at 7:00 p.m. I'll take you to see the evidence and tell you everything you want to know."

After saying that, before Amuro Toru could ask for details, Qin Zhibo turned around and got out of the car.

Toru Amuro watched Qin Zhibo's departing back through the car window and slowly clenched his hands.

……

After returning to his car, Qin Zhibo did not drive back to the office immediately, but went to the seafood market first.

Once you get to the market, head straight for the largest market stall.

"Boss, do you sell puffer fish?"

The boss sitting in the middle of the fish tank looked up, squinted his eyes and looked Qin Zhibo up and down, but did not say yes or no at the first time.

"Why did you buy puffer fish?"

"Um...is this important?" Qin Zhibo asked puzzledly.

"Important, very important. Don't you know that pufferfish is poisonous? If you don't handle it properly, it could easily cause an accident..."

The seafood boss had something else in his words and did not express his true thoughts.

Generally, the restaurants that come here to buy puffer fish are those that specialize in making puffer fish dishes.

Correspondingly, individuals basically do not come to buy puffer fish to cook at home. If it is not handled properly, it will truly be the "last supper".

However, some people also use pufferfish as ornamental fish. The puffy appearance of this fish is quite unique in nature.

But recently, Tokyo rice cookers have developed a third function of pufferfish, which is to extract pufferfish toxin as a killing tool.

As one of the most toxic neurotoxins in nature, tetrodotoxin (TTX) is no less toxic than cyanide.

Moreover, the entry threshold for cyanide is a bit higher, but pufferfish is different.

As a case of using tetrodotoxin was reported, more and more cases of using tetrodotoxin appeared one by one, which had to attract people's attention.

Maybe one day, even the purchase of puffer fish will have to be reported to the relevant authorities.

It was normal for the seafood boss to feel a little wary when he saw Qin Zhibo's face and clothes.

"Is it okay if I buy it and take it home to enjoy?"

"Watch?"

The seafood owner stood up from his stool, walked over and asked, "Where are you going to put it for viewing?"
