Conan Rick's Investigator

Putting the card back into his pocket, Officer Nakamori looked out the window again with great interest, exclaiming how beautiful the moonlight was tonight.

His expression changed so quickly that it was hard to tell whether he was here to catch Kidd or to admire the moon.

At this moment, a figure quietly approached Officer Nakamori.

The person's figure was completely hidden under a dark red cloak, and the large hood made it impossible to see her face clearly.

Officer Nakamori noticed footsteps behind him and just turned around to ask "Who is it?", the other party raised his hand and threw a white necklace, which hit Nakamori's neck.

The necklace quickly tightened around his neck, and Officer Nakamori struggled in pain.

After a while, the mysterious man looked at Officer Nakamori who had fallen to the ground and stopped struggling, muttered something inaudible to himself, and then turned and left.

After a while, Officer Nakamori "came back to life", got up from the ground and left in another direction.

After watching this video, Qin Zhibo's first feeling was...

Does Kogoro Mouri have a twin brother or younger brother?

It cannot be said that the face of this Officer Nakamori has nothing to do with Kogoro Mori, but it can be said that they are exactly the same.

This reminded Qin Zhibo of a saying: There are always a few people in the world who can use facial recognition to unlock your phone.

It is embarrassing enough to wear the same clothes as someone else in real life, but it is definitely more embarrassing to have the same face as someone else.

It's rare to find them so similar.

It is reasonable to speculate that if Kogoro Mouri could meet Officer Nakamori, they would definitely be incompatible.

As for the mysterious man in the dark red cloak, Qin Zhibo couldn't make out any clues from this short video.

Is being good at hooping a characteristic?

If I had the opportunity to meet her face to face, I should be able to see some basic information about her.

Qin: Is this mysterious man in the red cloak the Kaito Kidd assistant you mentioned?

[Admin: Yes, he was the one who shut down the power near Tokyo Tower, helping Kaito Kidd escape.]

[Administrator: Your mission objective is to find out the identity of this person. Reward: 50 yen]

In a luxuriously decorated study, a pair of slightly plump hands placed on the keyboard and silently typed a line of words - Beware of the other party's magic...

The hands suddenly stopped again, clearing all the words that had been typed and typing a simpler sentence.

[Admin: Please be safe]

【Qin: Got it】

The tasks of the Nine Angels are basically not mandatory to complete, especially the investigation tasks.

However, Qin Zhibo, who took on the task, felt a sense of urgency and immediately went online to collect relevant information about Kaito Kidd.

If you want to find Kaito Kidd's assistant, you must start with Kaito Kidd himself.

Although the Internet was not very well-developed at that time, hundreds of pages about Kaito Kidd could be found by searching.

Most of them are news about Kaito Kid, and even half of them are web pages in other languages. It seems that the topic of Kaito Kid is of great interest all over the world.

Qin Zhibo, who is proficient in four languages, browsed almost all the web pages here and learned more about Kaito Kidd.

As Asami Masashi said, Kaito Kid's first appearance was in Paris, France eighteen years ago.

That time, it was not only the debut of Kaito Kid, but also the last show of another Kaito Lady.

Therefore, there are also speculations from the outside world that the Kaito Lady is actually the Kaito Kid, and it is a means for the Kaito Lady (Kid) to escape the pursuit of the international police.

After that, Kaito Kidd was active for ten years in a row, and suddenly disappeared from the public eye eight years ago.

During this period, the most widely believed statement was that Kaito Kidd had offended too many people, and the wealthy offered high bounties on him on the black market, so he was assassinated by a killer.

Until the last six months, Kaito Kidd reappeared in the world, and his superb magic tricks repeatedly fooled the police, proving that he was not a lowly copycat.

——But the real Kaito Kidd has returned!

Although the news reported that the Kaito Kidd who became active eighteen years ago and the Kaito Kidd who became active half a year ago were the same person, Qin Zhibo did not agree with this view.

Because there are two obvious differences between these two Kidds.

First of all, Qin Zhibo is not blind.

In the photo of Kaito Kid taken eight years ago, you can vaguely see two delicate mustaches above his mouth.

Kaito Kidd, who has become active recently, has a clean mouth and no beard.

Of course, it may also be that Kaito Kid himself thought the beard was ugly, so he shaved it off, or he may have been wearing a fake beard before.

Secondly, the new version of Kaito Kidd is currently only active in Japan, while the old version of Kaito Kidd is active all over the world, and Japan is just one of the stops.

Let’s first eliminate the influence of the old version of Kaito Kidd and maintain Qin Zhibo’s previous judgment on the new version of Kaito Kidd.

A rich young man from a family of magicians...

Since the scope of activities is limited to Japan, there must be a reason for this.

Time or money?

Obviously, the thing that restricts the new version of Kaito Kidd from traveling abroad cannot be money, so it can only be time.

Young man...

go to school!

Qin Zhibo's eyes suddenly widened as he thought of this possibility.

Will the new version of Kaito Kid be a young man from a magic family who is in high school or college?

Although the restriction on movement may be due to work, since he is a rich second-generation, it is unlikely that he will become a corporate slave.

So it is more likely that they are high school or college students.

Of the two, Qin Zhibo prefers college students because they may have more free time...

As he continued to flip through the pages, Qin Zhibo saw the most outrageous web page.

A support meeting for Kaito Kidd-sama.

This is a website similar to the "Food Club" website, and the most important function on the website is the message board.

On the message board, an eye-catching message attracted Qin Zhibo's attention.

[Sonoko Kid?]: Lord Kid is finally coming to steal my things!

-

Qin Zhibo: "..."

For some reason, Qin Zhibo seemed to have vaguely guessed who the speaker was.

Chapter 123: Where does Conan's inspiration for solving cases come from?

The next day.

As expected, Qin Zhibo received an invitation from Suzuki Sonoko.

"That's Kaito Kidd! Kaito Kidd!"

On the phone, Suzuki Sonoko's voice was very excited, sounding like she had just won a 10 billion yen lottery.

Well, even if she won 10 billion yen, Sonoko wouldn't be as happy as she is now.

According to Sonoko's introduction, this time Kaito Kid is targeting the Suzuki family's heirloom - the Black Star. The notice letter has been sent to the head of the Suzuki family, Shiro Suzuki.

However, Shiro Suzuki was so angry after receiving the notice letter that he tore it up.

"But I've put the preview letter together again!"

"Is there a fax machine?"

"No……"

"Then I'll have my servant send a copy of the pre-written notice to your office later."

"By the way! If we can catch Kaito Kidd, I have a small request..."

"You guessed it right! It just wanted me to see the true face of that thief in advance!"

"I think he must be a handsome middle-aged man!"

"I wonder if he'll look like Harrison Ford or Johnny English? I'm really looking forward to it!"

"It would be even better if I could be as young as Brad Peter!"

"Okay! I'll leave everything to Uncle Qin!"

After the call was hung up, Qin Zhibo, a native Hawaiian, couldn't help but complain in his heart about Yuanzi's Japanese-English pronunciation.

It is a good thing to keep pace with the international community...

But they are Harrison Ford, Jean Reno, and Brad Pitt!

Secondly, from the mouth of Sonoko, who is full of girlish heart, Qin Zhibo also learned about the public's general opinion of Kaito Kid, who is indeed a middle-aged uncle.

However, Qin Zhibo still insisted on his opinion that Kaito Kidd is a young rich second-generation from a magic family.

Half an hour later, the servant of the Suzuki family delivered a copy of the notice as promised.

【April fool

When the moon separates the two

In the name of the dark star

I will ride on the waves

Phantom Thief...]

Putting aside the secret code investigation point on the preview letter, Qin Zhibo saw the words April fool.

This refers to April 4st, International April Fools' Day.

However, Qin Zhibo clearly remembered the Yueying Island case a few days ago. The old policeman said that day was June 6st.

Qin Zhibo: "..."

The time in this world is still so "scientific".

……

The day before the preview of Kaito Kid, Qin Zhibo arrived at the Beika Museum as promised.

In front of the museum, the mobile team was fully armed, and Qin Zhibo was allowed to enter the museum only after identity verification.

As soon as he entered the hall, Qin Zhibo saw a remarkable man talking with Maori Kogoro.

The man had a big belly, a friendly smile, and wore a pair of round-frame glasses. He looked unremarkable, but Qin Zhibo had already sensed his weight from the personal information hanging above his head.

-

Name: Shiro Suzuki

Sex: Male

Age: 51

Occupation: Entrepreneur

Social Credit: 12700

……

The most Qin Zhibo had seen before was a company president, but this Suzuki Shiro's profession was directly that of an entrepreneur, and his social credit score was also the first one Qin Zhibo had seen to reach five digits.

Qin Zhibo's current social credit score of 2530 is equivalent to the fraction of this old man's after wiping out the ten thousand digits.

At this time, Sonoko, who was following behind Suzuki Shiro, saw Qin Zhibo and quickly whispered to her father next to her.

"So it's Mr. Qin. I've heard about your wisdom from my two daughters a long time ago."

"Having two great detectives, Detective Maori and Mr. Qin, come to my place today is like adding wings to a tiger!"

After the commercial hype, Shiro Suzuki took everyone to appreciate the world's largest black pearl - the Black Star.
