Conan Rick's Investigator

Since there are two "Detective Conan", they cannot be tracked, but no one who looks like Kogoro Mouri has been found.

Qin Zhibo closed his eyes, and the image of Maori Kogoro slowly emerged in his mind, wearing a handsome and upright white suit, a thick and stylish mustache, and a tuft of bangs on his head.

Got it!

"Sir, where are you going?"

"Drive forward first."

"Drive forward? Where to?" The driver was confused. What kind of place was this?

Conan, sitting in the back seat, looked at him in confusion. Didn't he say he knew the location? Couldn't he just tell the driver?

"Just drive ahead. I'll pay you when we get there."

The driver was speechless for a while, but the passenger had already been picked up and he couldn't refuse, so he had to bite the bullet and step on the accelerator.

……

Half an hour later, the taxi slowly stopped in front of a twin-tower-shaped hotel building.

There is a row of large golden characters on the door of the hotel, which read "SAKURASAKU HOTEL", and inside the door is a magnificent decoration.

"Sakura Blossom Hotel?"

When Conan saw the name of this hotel, he was puzzled. When did this hotel appear in Tokyo?

But Conan didn't think much about it. He pushed the door open and got out of the car, then ran to ask the hotel doorman about the situation.

Qin Zhibo, who was sitting in the passenger seat, took out his wallet and prepared to pay.

Driver: "The total fare is 6400 yen, thank you."

When Qin Zhibo heard the taxi price, he felt a pang of pain in his heart.

I am used to driving and have forgotten that taxi fares in Japan are quite expensive.

After paying the fare, Qin Zhibo looked at the few small bills in his wallet and felt that he should find a place to withdraw money later.

After getting off the car, Qin Zhibo observed the surrounding environment out of professional habit.

There were many plainclothes guards in suits and ties at the hotel entrance, and there were planes circling overhead. The security work was very strict.

Just looking at their faces, these guards are not Asians, they should be the security personnel of the Kingdom of Vesbania.

There are cherry blossom trees on both sides of the road, and the overall environment has a poetic and picturesque beauty.

Just looking at the blooming cherry trees, Qin Zhibo felt something was wrong.

Although the exact date is still unclear, it is probably November, which is not the season for cherry blossoms to bloom.

But the cherry trees here are in full bloom, which is really not right...

Qin Zhibo was looking at the cherry tree and thinking when Conan ran over.

"The party is really being held here! Let's go in quickly."

Conan was a little excited thinking that he would soon expose the conspiracy of the fake "Conan".

Qin Zhiboduo glanced at the cherry tree above his head, and without thinking any more, followed Conan into the hotel.

……

According to the information Conan obtained from the hotel doorman, the banquet to entertain the delegation from the Kingdom of Vesbania was held in the banquet hall on the fourth floor.

Qin Zhibo and Conan reached the fourth floor effortlessly, but were stumped when entering the banquet hall.

Invitations need to be checked to enter the banquet hall, and the identities and number of people must match before they can be allowed in.

"What should I do?"

Conan looked at the checkpoint at the door and couldn't help feeling troubled.

Although he could probably blend in with the crowd because of his short stature, that was how he and Haibara Ai sneaked into the director's memorial service at the Haido Hotel.

But Qin Zhibo is an adult after all, and it is impossible for him to get away with it.

Qin Zhibo, who was standing by, also saw Conan's difficulty and said, "How about this, you go in first, and I'll be there soon."

Conan was a little confused, "How are you going to get in?"

"Don't worry about it. The mountain man has his own clever plan."

Qin Zhibo gave a mysterious smile, which made Conan's eyebrows twitch.

"Then I'll go in first."

Looking at Conan's dejected back, Qin Zhibo silently took out the [Lord of the Rings] from the prop bar.

……

As the security measures were tighter this time, a large number of guests gathered at the entrance of the banquet hall waiting to have their invitations checked.

While the security guards at the door were communicating with the guests in broken Japanese, Conan crouched down and quietly slipped into the banquet hall from behind the security guards.

Effortless, successful infiltration!

For Conan, this may be the only benefit of becoming smaller.

Standing in the banquet hall, Conan looked back at the entrance again. He didn't know how Qin Zhibo wanted to sneak in, but such a strict inspection would definitely take a long time.

Well, I better go inside and wait for him...

Conan turned his head and was about to step into the banquet hall when a strong hand held down his shoulder.

Turning around, I saw Qin Zhibo with a kind smile on his face.

"Hi, Conan."

"I'm in..."

Seeing Qin Zhibo coming in almost at the same time, Conan widened his eyes in disbelief.

Holy shit! There’s a cheat!

Chapter 1058 "Peak Crime"

Conan looked at Qin Zhibo in disbelief, then tilted his head to look at the checkpoint at the door.

There were clearly people bustling at the door and many guests were still queuing for inspection, but Qin Zhibo just cut in line?

Is it by face recognition?

But relying on facial recognition to enter some ordinary banquet venues is one thing, but this is a reception for the delegation of the Kingdom of Vesbania. For security reasons, how could they let anyone in without an invitation?

"You..." Conan's eyes were full of suspicion, "Could it be that you have an invitation?"

Qin Zhibo raised the corner of his mouth, shook his head and smiled: "How is this possible? I don't have it~"

The truth is often spoken in a joking tone.

But Conan did not give up. Instead, he became more convinced that Qin Zhibo had an official invitation.

If you think about it carefully, even a detective of the level of Mouri Kogoro has an invitation. With the fame Qin Zhibo established at the "Sunflower" press conference not long ago, there is no reason for him not to receive an invitation.

In this case, Qin Zhibo's ability to locate this hotel was not due to his terrifying observation skills, but simply because he knew the answer in advance.

Humph……

Conan felt a little unconvinced, but without saying anything, he went straight into the banquet hall.

But Qin Zhibo grabbed him just in time and said, "If you go straight over like this, what if you run into another 'Conan' or someone you know? Wouldn't that expose you?"

"If you want to investigate secretly, it's best to change your appearance. This way I can distinguish you more easily."

Although Qin Zhibo has the vision of an investigator, ordinary investigative vision cannot distinguish people who actively hide their identities.

Conan looked up and down at his outfit. He didn't know the disguise and camouflage skills of Kaito Kid, so it was not easy to change his appearance.

"Then what do you think we should do?"

Qin Zhibo thought for a moment and said, "Wait a moment..."

After saying that, he walked over to a waiter next to him and whispered something.

The waiter nodded in agreement, and after a while, he brought back a brown paper bag containing bread.

Qin Zhibo poked two holes in the paper bag with his fingers and then put the paper bag over Conan's head.

"Okay, now no one can recognize you."

Conan touched the paper bag on his head. Although it was impossible to be recognized, but...

"Wouldn't this look weird?"

Qin Zhibo: "It doesn't matter. Others will think you are an autistic child, or the protagonist of a video game."

Conan: "..."

……

Just like that, a well-dressed adult walked into the banquet hall with a little boy wearing a brown paper bag on his head.

Along the way, many guests cast curious glances at us.

Since the representative of the Kingdom of Vesbania will be giving a speech on the front stage, many people have gathered here as the guests all want to catch a glimpse of the foreign guests.

In the crowd, Qin Zhibo took advantage of his height and was the first to spot Kogoro Mouri in a white suit.

Next to Kogoro Mouri are Sonoko and Conan, both wearing rose-red evening gowns.

"over there."

Qin Zhibo whispered instructions, and the brown paper bag version of Conan next to him followed the direction of his gaze and saw three familiar people.

Especially when he saw "Conan" next to him with his hands in his pockets, Conan in the paper bag gritted his teeth in indignation.

How dare you imitate my standing posture!

"Let's split up first..."

As soon as he finished speaking, Conan quietly slipped towards the location of "Conan" and others.

When he was in a position where he could hear the conversation clearly, Conan quickly crawled under a round dining table. The cherry blossom pink floor-length tablecloth just covered his existence.

Qin Zhibo stood where he was, looking at Maori Kogoro in the distance, and was not in a hurry to go up and say hello.

If "Conan" is really Mi-Go in disguise, then if I go forward now, it will definitely arouse the other party's vigilance.

What we need to figure out most now is the purpose of Mi-Go's appearance at this party.

First of all, the Mi-Go clan attaches great importance to unknown minerals, and the Kingdom of Vesbania just discovered the vein of this mineral.

Mi-Go's appearance at this banquet may be an attempt to threaten the delegation from the Kingdom of Vesbania?

Qin Zhibo glanced at the guests around him. Some of these "guests" were strong and muscular, with wireless headsets hanging on their ears. They scanned the entire venue with vigilant eyes from time to time.

The most important thing is that their profession is security personnel, and they don’t look like Japanese.

In other words, the on-site security work was arranged by the Kingdom of Vesbania, and it is very likely that there is a big shot in the delegation.

It is still unknown who this big shot is.

But what Qin Zhibo couldn't understand was why such an important state visit and banquet was not mentioned at all in today's morning news program?

……

On Conan's side, he successfully slipped to the position closest to "Conan" and others, and began to eavesdrop on the conversation between several people outside the tablecloth.

"Really~"

"It's a rare opportunity to meet so many handsome men in the entertainment industry and sports stars, but Xiaolan mentioned that she has karate training?"

The "Conan" next to him complained helplessly, "Sister Yuanzi, you still like these very much."

Sonoko continued to complain, "Xiaolan is really something. She is still so enthusiastic about karate. I have no idea what she is thinking."

At this time, Maori Kogoro put his hands in his pockets and walked to the side, "She said she would come even if it was a little later, so..."

Sonoko tilted her head and asked in confusion, "So?"

Conan rolled his eyes at the direction where Maori Kogoro left, "Is there any need to ask? He must have gone to find Okino Yoko..."

Listening to the conversation between several people, Conan, who was squatting under the tablecloth, couldn't help but clench his fists.
