Conan Rick's Investigator

Conan was stunned by Haibara Ai's words, and a slight blush appeared on his face.

But then, another sentence from Haibara Ai immediately destroyed the atmosphere.

"By the way, before you had a falling out with that uncle, did you ask what the two names next to mine on the roster were?"

After being reminded by Haibara Ai, Conan finally opened his eyes wide and came to his senses.

Finished!

I forgot to ask the most important thing!

Chapter 1053: Detective vs. Old Man

After leaving Dr. Agasa's house, Qin Zhibo was not in a hurry to return to the office.

He walked down the street, thinking back to the conversation he had just had with Conan.

Although it seemed to outsiders that he and Conan had a quarrel, Qin Zhibo was not angry.

Whether it is Conan or Kudo Shinichi, they are all children in front of Qin Zhibo, they are just smarter.

The most obvious characteristic of children is that they tend to idealize things.

Sometimes, once the truth is revealed, it will hurt more people.

Take the Meijima case for example. If the murderer was revealed to be Shimabukuro Keikazu, only the following results would occur.

The families of the three deceased could not continue to live on the island because their daughter burned Shimabukuro Kimie's mother, who played the role of the longevity goddess, to death in a burning warehouse in order to verify the legend of the longevity goddess. This would make her hated by all the islanders.

Keikazu Shimabukuro has a special bloodline that is a combination of humans and Deep Divers, and will be taken away for research. Once the Deep Divers are discovered, it may even cause the whole world to fall into panic.

Shimabukuro Kimie has suffered a series of blows and may lose the will to live.

Without the longevity lady, tourism to the American island will also decline significantly.

Exposing the truth will benefit no one.

In addition to the detective who uncovers the truth, he can gain great prestige.

But perhaps by that time, no one will thank the famous detective who dared to reveal the truth.

On the contrary, if we maintain the current situation, everyone can get the most stable ending. The living can live and work in peace, the dead can leave behind a clean reputation, and the world can continue to be stable.

Qin Zhibo had no way of telling Conan about these pros and cons that came from his heart.

……

Before he knew it, Qin Zhibo arrived at the door of Trojan Manor.

I looked up at the parking space in the apartment yard, but didn't see Toru Amuro's Mazda RX-7. It must have not been moved in yet.

Let’s go in and take a look…

Qin Zhibo came to No. 205 and knocked on the door.

Ding-dong-

After waiting for a while, the door was opened.

Qin Zhibo looked at Akai Shuichi who came to open the door and was a little surprised.

He was not sitting in a wheelchair, but was using it to walk. His bandaged forehead was soaked with sweat, and there were also many sweat stains on the tatami in the living room.

"Are you doing rehab?"

"Ah."

Shuichi Akai didn't say much. He pushed his wheelchair and walked back to the living room step by step with difficulty to continue training.

Qin Zhibo looked at Akai Shuichi and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

Cheng Shi said that according to Shuichi Akai's current physical condition, it might take a few days for him to stand steadily and half a month to recover the ability to walk.

But Shuichi Akai stood up in just one day, and I believe he will be able to regain the ability to walk in a few days.

In addition to his physical fitness, this should be attributed to his personal willpower, which far exceeds that of ordinary people.

In addition to rehabilitation training, Shuichi Akai also turns on the TV, listens to the TV while training, and collects information from the outside world.

This made Qin Zhibo think of another person who might be resurrected from the dead, that "Scotch Whisky".

If, as Amuro Toru said, Scotch was shot in the heart, it would have been a fatal wound that would have killed him instantly.

But the organization somehow managed to revive Scotch whisky.

This situation is very similar to Shuichi Akai's, and the organization boss controls the portal that leads directly to Enkai, so it is not difficult to obtain this resurrection method.

Each time, Tsathoggua was awake for a short time, and most of the time he sat lazily like a stone statue.

But the boss of the organization has had a hundred years of repeated visits to Tsathoggua, so he must have been able to gather more knowledge.

"I am coming, Tsathoggua."

"I am coming, Tsathoggua."

"I am coming……"

"I am coming……"

People who are resurrected in this way will lose their memories, and the organization will naturally be able to brainwash Scotch and make him work wholeheartedly for the organization.

If Scotch could be restored to his memory, another wedge could be driven into the organization.

However, both Koizumi Akako and the housekeeper believed that memory was the price of resurrection and could not be waived.

Just as Qin Zhibo was thinking, Akai Shuichi sat in a wheelchair, seemingly tired from training.

He picked up the towel on the armrest, wiped the sweat from his forehead, then looked up and asked Qin Zhibo.

"Is there anything you need?"

Akai Shuichi's tone was still cold, not because he was hostile, but because he spoke like this most of the time, just like some people who would never smile no matter how happy they were.

"Nothing, just stopping by to take a look..."

"Aren't you a detective? Don't you have to look after your own detective agency?"

Hearing this, Qin Zhibo was stunned for a moment.

Although I told him that I was a private detective, I didn't tell him that I opened a detective agency.

In fact, there are only a few detectives in Tokyo who can open a detective agency. This industry is a bit like being a lawyer. Generally, several detectives work together to open a detective agency.

Only a very small number of famous detectives can afford the high rent costs of opening a separate law firm.

Of course, for someone like Kogoro Mouri, who owns his own house, it is not difficult for him to open a detective agency.

Seeing Qin Zhibo was a little surprised, Akai Xiuyi explained calmly: "I saw the things about the detective agency on TV."

"You're very famous. You can see a lot of news about you on TV, all about your cases."

After hearing this explanation, Qin Zhibo suddenly realized that it was not in vain to watch TV.

At this time, Akai Shuichi suddenly asked again.

"Since you're a famous detective, when is the soonest you can find my family?"

"This one……"

To be honest, Qin Zhibo really has no idea about this matter.

Maybe the FBI has information on Akai Hide's family, but without sufficient reason, the FBI will not provide it to him.

Taking the initiative to ask about Shuichi Akai's family situation would definitely arouse suspicion.

But apart from the FBI, is there anyone else who might know where Shuichi Akai's family is?

Qin Zhibo fell into deep thought.

Suddenly, a person came to mind.

In that photo of Hawaii, besides myself, there was another person, Yasuharu Haneda.

If it was Yasuharu Haneda, would he know?

"Maybe I have a solution. I can try it now..."

After weighing the pros and cons, Qin Zhibo decided to tell Haneda Yasuharu what happened here.

Yasuharu Haneda has a good relationship with the Akai family, otherwise Tsutomu Akai would not have taken such a huge risk to help Yasuharu Haneda investigate the case.

Moreover, as the agent of the Nine Angels, Yasuharu Haneda can more easily understand the concept of "resurrection".

Qin Zhibo, who was standing by the window, was about to turn around and go out when he saw the Junior Detective Team and Professor Agasa walking out of the house happily in the yard next door.

It is estimated that Conan has solved the address left by Dr. Agasa's first love and is leading the team to the target location.

However, among the crowd, Conan didn't seem to be in a very good mood. He walked at the end of the team with his hands in his pockets and his head down.

Several people got into Dr. Agasa's yellow Beetle and drove out.

Qin Zhibo stood by the window and was not in a hurry to go downstairs, otherwise it would be a bit awkward for the two sides to meet again so soon.

Just like that, Qin Zhibo waited until Conan and his group disappeared at the end of the street before he walked towards the entrance.

But just as he was about to walk to the entrance, he stopped, looked back at Shuichi Akai in the wheelchair, and asked.

"If an incident occurs, you become the only person who knows the truth about that incident."

"If I choose to reveal the truth, I will inevitably hurt the living; if I conceal the truth, I will be criticized."

"What would you choose?"

Akai Shuichi stared at Qin Zhibo through his glasses, thought for two or three seconds, and then gave a faint reply.

"I think I'll hide the truth..."

"Why?" Qin Zhibo asked.

Akai Shuichi was silent for another second, then said solemnly, "If you tell the truth through my mouth and hurt someone who is still alive, it would feel like you have committed a sin with your own hands."

"By comparison, being criticized is a price I can bear..."

As soon as Shuichi Akai finished speaking, a strange sound came from the keyhole of the security door at the entrance.

Qin Zhibo looked back and saw that it was Amuro Toru who opened the door and came in.

Seeing Qin Zhibo, Amuro Toru was also stunned for a moment, and asked doubtfully: "When I got the key from the landlord, I heard that you had already left..."

Qin Zhibo nodded and said, "Yeah, I left this morning, but I'm back now."

Toru Amuro tilted his head slightly and saw Shuichi Akai sitting in a wheelchair in the living room. It seemed that the two of them had just whispered something.

"What did you say to him? Did his memory return?"

Even in the current situation, Toru Amuro is still wary of Shuichi Akai's existence because of what happened on the rooftop three years ago.

Regardless of whether Morofushi Kagemitsu is alive now or for whom he lives, that incident will always be a scar in Amuro Toru's heart that will never be erased.

"Nothing, just some adult discussions about life~"

"Then I'll leave it to you."

Qin Zhibo patted Amuro Toru's shoulder and walked past him.

……

After leaving the office, Qin Zhibo strolled towards the parking space while calling Yasuharu Haneda.

After two meetings and exchanges between the two, Qin Zhibo already had Haneda Yasuharu's contact number. If there was an emergency, he would not need to contact through the Nine Angels' official website.

Soon, the call was connected.

Qin Zhibo revealed his identity and then got straight to the point.

"There are some very important things that can't be explained over the phone. I need to meet with you."

On the other end of the phone, Yasuharu Haneda thought for a moment and replied, "Okay, then come to my house."

"My home address is Beihu..."

It was a wise choice for Yasuharu Haneda not to live in Mikado.

"Okay, I'll be there right away."
