Conan Rick's Investigator

Conan was about to ask Huihara Ai about that vague memory, but Huihara Ai looked up at the mailbox and muttered: "Wakasa..."

Conan's thoughts were interrupted, and he leaned over to look at the mailbox. Sure enough, he saw that the last name of a resident on the mailbox was "Wakasa".

"The surname Wakasa is a bit rare, what's wrong?" Conan asked.

"Wakasa Bay in Fukui Prefecture, where the American Island is located..." Haibara Ai said lightly.

Hearing this, Conan opened the map of Japan in his head and remembered that he had been to this place before.

"American Island, that's where the mermaid legend is. I went there before with Xiaolan, the uncles, Hattori, and Toyama to handle a case..."

When talking about that case, Conan still felt a little regretful.

Although the police finally determined that the murderer was Saori Kadowaki who died in the fire, Conan and Heiji Hattori always felt that there was another hidden story in the case.

However, in order to find out another truth, Qin Zhibo and Maori Kogoro planned to leave.

In addition, Qin Zhibo, who was the "correct answer" and "benchmark of reasoning", did not raise any objections to the case. Even if Conan felt that the case was a bit ambiguous, he really could not find any reason to doubt it.

Although Conan likes to dig deep and find out the truth, he is not a nitpicker.

While Conan was recalling the past case in his mind, Haibara Ai casually revealed a shocking secret.

"I've been to this American island before, with those guys..."

"Previous research materials on APTX-4869 mentioned that the American Island was once one of the experimental sites for that drug."

"So the organization sent someone to go there with me to collect clues."

Conan, who was in the process of rewinding his memory, suddenly looked stunned and his memories stopped abruptly.

His expression became horrified, and he quickly turned to Haibara Ai and asked seriously.

"Are you serious? You and those two guys from the organization..."

"Well, you guessed right." Huiyuan Ai nodded slightly, "It's gin and vodka."

Conan was stunned again, recalling that when he was checking the roster of people who had participated in the Dugong Arrow lottery over the years, he saw Miyano Shiho's name.

That's not a duplicate name! It's the real Miyano Shiho!

If that person is Miyano Shiho, given the importance the organization attaches to the research of Drug A, Gin and Vodka will definitely not allow Miyano Shiho to participate in a collective activity like the Dugong Arrow Lottery alone.

The two names next to Miyano Shiho are Gin and Vodka!

Thinking of this, Conan immediately racked his brains to recall, but he could not remember the two names next to "Miyano Shiho".

It had been too long since the incident happened, and he had only glanced at the roster when it was snatched away by Qin Zhibo next to him.

Damn it!

In Conan's mind, this is also a very important organizational clue.

Previously, using Kudo Shinichi's identity, Conan secretly asked Inspector Megure about the results of the investigation into Gin's identity.

But Inspector Megure said that there was no match for "Gin" in the population information.

This means that Gin has no identity in Japan and is a "toshiko".

However, this also means that once Gin's true identity is discovered, it will be possible to uncover the key clues to the organization behind him.

But after much difficulty, I was able to learn the names of Gin and Vodka, but my memory was not strong enough.

How abominable!

Conan hated that his memory was not up to the level of photographic memory, and he also hated why he had such a lucky mentality at that time, thinking that the name was not the Miyano Shiho he knew.

Eh?

Conan was beating his chest and stamping his feet when he suddenly thought of a question.

At that time, Qin Zhibo snatched the roster and stared at it for a long time. Would he still remember the names on it?

That uncle is so smart and has terrifying observation skills, maybe he can remember everything he sees!

You must still remember it!

Conan comforted himself in his heart.

Of course, such blind belief is unreasonable. Because in Conan's cognition, Qin Zhibo didn't even know Huibara Ai's real name, he just knew that she was a little adult, so how could he remember those insignificant names?

But that's how people are. When they are in desperate situations, if a life-saving straw suddenly appears in front of them, no matter how small the straw is, they will try their best to grab it.

After the brainstorming session, Conan continued to question Haibara Ai.

"So what did you do on the island?"

Huiyuan Ai described it lightly, "I didn't do anything special. I just wandered around the island as a tourist and participated in the raffle for the Dugong Arrow."

"But we might be the ones favored by darkness. We are not very lucky. We didn't draw the dugong arrow, nor did we get the hair of the longevity woman tied to the arrow."

"Afterwards, Gin personally went to look for something that could be tested on the longevity woman, but he returned empty-handed..."

Conan was a little surprised, "Gin failed?"

Huibara Ai shook her head, "No, Gin didn't miss."

"He said that the longevity lady was a young woman pretending to be one, and there is no such thing as a longevity lady on the island."

"Without any clues to collect, we can only return home."

When Conan heard what Haibara Ai said, his eyes widened and his face was full of shock.

The 130-year-old centenarian on an American island was actually an imposter?

However, the person who has been able to take care of the longevity woman on the island is her great-granddaughter, the shrine maiden named "Shimabukuro Kimie"...

Could it be that she was pretending to be him?

Thinking of this, Conan felt a chill running through his body, and goose bumps appeared all over his skin.

The so-called longevity lady has always been impersonated by Shimabukuro Kimie.

Could it be that Saori Kadowaki, who burned herself to death in the fire, was also...

Suddenly, Conan felt as if he realized what was wrong with the case on American Island.

"Haibara! Let's catch up with them!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Conan hurriedly chased in the direction where the three little ones and Qin Zhibo left.

Haibara Ai looked at Conan's back, said nothing, and followed him silently.

……

Meanwhile, in a hotel room across the street from the apartment building.

A graceful figure stood behind the window screen, and her left eye wearing glasses quietly observed the situation at the door of the opposite apartment building through the gap in the window screen.

Her left eye was silently watching Conan running out and Haibara Ai chasing after him.

On the desk to her right, a "Teitan Elementary School Teacher Application" was being edited.

Chapter 1051 The pattern is grand!

Qin Zhibo and the three little ones were walking towards Dr. Agasa's house.

While dealing with the three little ones' various questions about the United States, he glanced back.

He knew that with Conan's personality, even if he gave up the investigation, Conan would definitely be curious about what he was investigating.

And Haibara Ai also knows what Conan is thinking, so she follows him to prevent Conan from doing anything out of line.

Sure enough, after waiting for a while, I saw Conan and Haibara Ai chasing after me, and their little backpacks moved up and down with the rhythm of their running.

"Conan, where did you and Ai go?"

Ayumi was the first to turn around. She had just noticed that the two key figures of the Junior Detective Team were missing.

Conan was about to answer when Qin Zhibo answered for him with a smile.

"We went to the bathroom together, right?"

"what?!"

Ayumi, Genta and Mitsuhiko immediately blushed and spoke up for Haibara Ai who was at a disadvantage.

"Conan! That's so annoying!"

"Conan! What did you do?" Genta grabbed Conan's collar.

"Conan, our parents taught us that boys and girls can't go to the bathroom together!"

Conan, Huiyuan Ai: (⊙_⊙)

The two were stunned at first, not understanding what was going on.

But then he thought again, and remembered the scene when the two of them and Professor Agasa went to visit the company of Miyano Atsushi's friend and went into the bathroom to investigate together.

What Qin Zhibo said actually hinted that the two of them should go investigate together.

"We..." Conan faltered.

"Forget it, forget it, Conan should have realized his mistake, let's keep going."

Qin Zhibo acted as a peacemaker at this time, which made Conan so angry that he gritted his teeth.

But there was no way, he still had something to consult Qin Zhibo, and he absolutely could not offend him now.

I will endure!

……

The group strolled along the way. Elementary school students tend to be distracted, so they walked slowly. It took them half an hour to reach Dr. Agasa's house.

Ai Haibara took out the key and skillfully opened the gate.

The three little ones rushed in first and all rushed to the door of Dr. Agasa's mansion in one breath.

"Dr. Agasa! We're here!"

"Dr. Agasa! Dr. Agasa!"

Qin Zhibo looked at the three noisy and noisy little ones, and he really admired Dr. Agasa's patience.

There is an old saying that dogs dislike children of seven or eight years old, which means that children of this age group even dislike the most loyal dogs to humans.

The three little ones are just at this age. Not only is Dr. Agasa not annoyed, he also takes the initiative to bring these naughty kids home.

This shows that Dr. Agasa truly likes children.

It is really strange that he loves children so much, but is single at such an old age and never tries to find one.

But upon closer analysis, Dr. Agasa is a pure science and engineering straight man who spends most of his energy every day tinkering with inventions, so it is normal that he is not very proactive in relationships.

Otherwise, how did Conan get all his scientific equipment?

"I'm coming……"

Dr. Agasa's voice came from the door, and after a few seconds, the door opened.

"Haha, you guys are here~"

Dr. Agasa smiled happily and let the three little ones into the house. Only then did he see Qin Zhibo.

"Mr. Qin?"

Seeing Qin Zhibo arrive with the Junior Detective Team after school, Dr. Agasa was obviously a little surprised, but he changed the subject and said, "It's just right, I have something to tell you too, come in first..."

This actually made Qin Zhibo stunned. What could Dr. Agasa want to tell him specifically?

Could it be that he also invented scientific equipment for himself?

……

After entering the rice cooker-shaped villa, Dr. Agasa first gave the three little ones some food and drinks to satisfy them, and then went to find Qin Zhibo.

"Mr. Qin, I have already had the mineral sample you gave me for testing examined."

ore?

Qin Zhibo frowned. It had been so long that he could hardly remember what happened.

"That stone is an extremely special ore. A vein of this type of ore was recently discovered in a country called 'Vespania'. It's temporarily named 'Vespania Ore'."
