Conan Rick's Investigator

But after a few seconds, he still shook his head.

"who are you?"

"Where is this place?"

As he spoke, Akai Shuichi instinctively tried to get up.

However, the bottom of the crucible was curved, and his body might not have fully recovered, so his steps were a little unsteady. He lost his balance and sat back down.

Only then did he realize that he was not wearing any clothes, and his eyes were full of shock.

Qin Zhibo saw this and immediately called out to Amuro Toru behind him, "Bring the towel down here!"

At this time, Toru Amuro was still a little dazed and couldn't believe what he saw.

When he heard Qin Zhibo's voice, he was slow to react for two seconds and handed the towel that the servant had placed on the shelf when he left to Qin Zhibo.

"for you."

Qin Zhibo took the towel and covered Akai Shuichi with it.

Although this towel is not big enough, it is enough to cover some key areas.

Shuichi Akai quickly wrapped the towel around himself and looked at Qin Zhibo warily.

Qin Zhibo did not give up and continued to ask.

"Do you remember your name?"

Akai Shuichi frowned slightly, thought for a few seconds and shook his head.

Oops!

Qin Zhibo had a bad feeling in his heart.

"Do you remember anything else about yourself? Like what country you're from? Where do you work? Where do you live?"

Akai Shuichi frowned, and after thinking for ten seconds, he still slowly shook his head.

At this moment, Qin Zhibo's mood hit rock bottom.

Although I know how to answer questions and I'm not stupid, I'm not much different from being stupid...

How did that happen?

Was it the last lightning that struck when Koizumi Hongzi cast her magic just now?

Qin Zhibo thought about it and decided to go out and discuss it with Koizumi Hongzi.

Logically speaking, the soul retains all of a person's memories. I have already returned Shuichi Akai's soul completely to his body, which means that the whole person has been completely resurrected.

What is going on now?

"You take care of it here, I'm going to go out for a while."

Qin Zhibo called out to Amuro Toru behind him, then jumped out of the crucible and ran out of the secret room.

Standing on the ladder, Toru Amuro looked at Shuichi Akai in the crucible with a very complicated look in his eyes.

For such a long time, he regarded Shuichi Akai as his opponent.

Whether it is a rival competing for a higher position within the organization, or the murderer who indirectly killed Zhu Fujingguang.

But now that he saw his opponent right in front of him, but he had "lost his memory", he felt an indescribable complex emotion in his heart.

"You really don't remember who I am?" There was doubt in Amuro Toru's eyes.

Akai Shuichi was wrapped in a towel, his eyebrows on one eye were furious, but he still shook his head.

"do not remember."

Looking at Shuichi Akai's reaction, Toru Amuro still had no doubts.

"And do you remember Scotch?"

"It was the Japanese police officer you killed three years ago..."

Akai Shuichi recalled for a moment and still shook his head.

Toru Amuro was carefully observing Shuichi Akai's eyes, and could see traces of thinking when he answered each question.

He's not faking amnesia.

He really has lost his memory.

But this is nothing to be surprised about. I have even seen people come back to life after death, so what is amnesia?

But if those who are successfully resurrected lose their memories, will Zhu Fujingguang also...

Toru Amuro, who was on the ladder, clenched his fists unconsciously and had some ideas in his mind.

At this time, Shuichi Akai, who was lying in the pot, held the edge of the pot and tried to stand up again.

But this time, his foot slipped and he fell into the pot again.

However, Shuichi Akai did not give up. He grabbed the towel on his body with one hand and held the edge of the pot with the other hand, and continued to try to stand up.

But the result was still falling.

Toru Amuro stood outside the pot, watching Akai Shuichi fall again and again with cold eyes, but tried again and again.

Finally, when Shuichi Akai fell for the seventh time, he loosened his clenched fists and jumped into the pot.

……

In the witch's house, Qin Zhibo did not find Koizumi Hongzi, but only found the servant at the door of the bedroom on the second floor.

"Lord Hongzi has consumed too much magic power and has gone to bed. If you have anything, you can tell me."

"Don't look at me like this, but I am also a member of the Red Magic Clan."

Qin Zhibo then resurrected Akai Shuichi, but he had lost all his memories except common sense.

The servant pondered for a moment and said, "This may be the price of resurrection."

"cost?"

"Yes," the servant replied, bowing. "All gifts bestowed by fate are secretly marked with a price, including 'resurrection'."

"That person can be reborn. In exchange, Hongzi-sama's magic power and the potion ingredients you prepared are far from enough."

"If you want a second life, you must pay for your first 'life', which is memory."

Qin Zhibo frowned slightly. He didn't expect that "resurrection" would be such a troublesome thing.

Tsathoggua has never experienced these!

Maybe He is just too lazy to say...

"Is there any way to restore my memory?"

The servant shook his head, "I don't know."

Just then, a female voice came from behind the bedroom door.

"Memories and the like, as long as people are still alive, can't they be recreated?"

The person who spoke was Koizumi Hongzi, who had not yet fallen asleep completely.

"create……"

Qin Zhibo murmured something, and now he could only take it one step at a time.

……

Back in the secret room, Qin Zhibo pushed open the door and saw Toru Amuro supporting Shuichi Akai as he walked out of the crucible.

Shuichi Akai put one hand on Toru Amuro's shoulder and used the other hand to maintain the balance of his lower body. Only Toru Amuro could hold the towel to cover his body.

"Hey, we've only been apart for a while, and you're already so close?"

Amuro Toru's face was startled, but luckily he didn't blush. He quickly explained, "I just... saw that he couldn't get out by himself..."

Qin Zhibo: "Has your body not recovered yet?"

Amuro Toru replied, "It's probably because he hasn't been active for too long and needs rehabilitation training."

As for the corpse, of course it hasn't moved for a long time.

In order to preserve the state of the body, the servants had kept Shuichi Akai in formalin.

"Forget it, I'll do it."

Qin Zhibo felt uncomfortable seeing that Toru Amuro was supporting Shuichi Akai, so he took over and helped him out of the secret room and into the living room.

The servants had prepared some clothes in advance, all according to Shuichi Akai's size.

With the help of others, Shuichi Akai changed his clothes and became much more normal, except that his steps were still unsteady and he needed someone to support him.

Qin Zhibo took out another knitted hat and put it on Akai Shuichi's head to cover the wound on his temple.

"That's it. I need to take him back for a checkup."

"Thank you. Thank you to Hongzi for me too."

Before leaving, Qin Zhibo thanked the servants of the Witch's House.

……

At night, two cars, one red and one white, drove into Mihua Town.

At the gate of Chengshi Hospital, Qin Zhibo stopped the car in front, and the Mazda RX-7 behind also stopped.

Toru Amuro got out of the car and looked up at the plaque of the private hospital. He knew a doctor in this hospital before.

"You're going to have him checked out here?"

"Well, it's safer here, and I know the doctor well. If he finds anything unusual, he won't leak the secret."

"Secret?" Amuro Toru's expression changed slightly. "Aren't you going to tell the FBI about him?"

When this question was mentioned, Qin Zhibo fell silent.

On the way back, Qin Zhibo thought a lot.

If it was inevitable that Shuichi Akai had lost his memory, Qin Zhibo didn't want to tell the FBI about it.

First of all, Shuichi Akai acted alone at his own invitation, and the accident happened because he acted on his own. From an official perspective, the FBI will not be responsible.

Secondly, Shuichi Akai came back to life, something no one would believe unless they saw it with their own eyes.

Finally, the organization is not a pushover and will definitely investigate the mastermind behind the Gin incident.

The FBI lurking in Japan is naturally one of the suspects.

Handing Shuichi Akai over to the FBI will undoubtedly expose him to the organization's attack range.

Shuichi Akai, who has lost his previous memories, is equivalent to a "useless person" to the FBI. What's the point of going back?

His feud with Gin has ended, so he might as well take this opportunity to start a new life.

Before, Qin Zhibo disguised himself as Akai Wuwu and discussed the action plan with Akai Shuichi. From him, he learned that Akai's family also has a mother, a younger brother, and a younger sister.

Qin Zhibo planned to help Akai Shuichi find his family, so it was not a waste.

"Okay, let's go in."

Qin Zhibo took Akai Shuichi out of Amuro Toru's car.

This was to prevent the wound from being exposed to the wind, so he was allowed to sit in Amuro Toru's car.

The three of them stood at the hospital entrance and pressed the doorbell.

After a while, the lights in the hospital corridor came on, and Cheng Shi ran over to open the door while wearing a white coat.

"Mr. Qin, Mr. Amuro?"

"What are you..."

As he spoke, Cheng Shi noticed Shuichi Akai who was supported by Toru Amuro.

"Mr. Akai, why are you here?"

"A few days ago, your colleagues came to me to inquire about your whereabouts..."

Obviously, the FBI has come here to investigate, after all, Asami has cooperated with the FBI before.
