Conan Rick's Investigator

Qin Zhibo looked at the few coins left in his wallet and couldn't help feeling a sense of crisis.

In the adult world, having no money is the most dangerous thing. Although Conan should have money on him, Qin Zhibo has seen Conan's wallet. He doesn't have much pocket money. He is just like an elementary school student.

If Fujiko Mine is not found today, he will be out of luck tomorrow. Thinking of this, a strong sense of crisis prompted Qin Zhibo to speed up his pace and quickly return to Kudo's house.

Chapter 1065 Hitchhiking

At Kudo's house, Conan was not idle either.

He first put away the clothes that had been washed and dried last night, and cleaned the bathroom floor and the water stains in the washing machine.

Qin Zhibo had previously instructed them to pretend that they had never been there and not to leave any traces.

After putting away his clothes and returning to the study, Conan looked around the birdcage-shaped room and then looked at the photo of "Kudo Yusaku" and "Yukiko" on the table.

There is also a photo of the Kudo couple in Conan’s own home, but the background and clothes are different.

The original photo showed the Kudo couple wearing fashionable clothes and posing at a city port with the sea behind them.

In this photo, the Kudo couple are wearing work jackets and posing in front of a ruined building that looks like an ancient relic.

I was so shocked by a series of events last night that I didn't notice this difference.

This inevitably aroused Conan's curiosity.

What kind of people are "Detective Conan", "Yusaku Kudo" and "Yukiko Kudo" in this world?

What’s the difference from the original world?

Thinking of this, Conan turned on the computer and entered the name Kudo Yusaku into the search bar.

After waiting for two seconds, countless search results popped up.

It doesn't matter if Conan doesn't look at it, he will find the problem as soon as he sees it.

Yusaku Kudo is a world-renowned science fiction writer and archaeologist. His representative works include "The Whispering in Darkness", "Witches' Feast", "Tokyo Ghost Tales", "The Color of the Starry Sky", "The Haze of Moeshu Nori", "Footsteps Underground", etc.

what is this?

Looking at these messy names of works, Conan was a little dumbfounded.

Also, my dad is obviously a mystery writer, so how come he became a science fiction writer in this world?

In a hurry, Conan searched the Internet for another important person who created "himself", Kudo Yukiko.

Fortunately, Yukiko's resume is relatively normal. Fujimine Yukiko, an actress, reached the peak of her career at her debut, retired at the age of 20 and married Kudo Yusaku...

In other words, only "Dad" is different from the original world.

And what the hell is an archaeologist? When has my dad ever studied ancient things?

Just when Conan was puzzled, a voice came from the entrance. It was Qin Zhibo who came back.

Conan ran over quickly.

……

Seeing Conan come out to greet him, Qin Zhibo teased with a smile.

"Why? So hungry?"

Conan didn't deny that hunger was one reason. He hadn't eaten or drunk anything since last night. Who wouldn't be hungry?

But the most important thing is that he needs to let Qin Zhibo, who is "proficient" in the concept of time travel, go and take a look.

"It's Kudo Yusaku, there seems to be something wrong with him..."

"No? What's wrong?"

"He..." For a moment, Conan didn't know how to explain the difference. "You'll understand if you come and see."

Qin Zhibo changed into slippers and went to the study with the breakfast he had just bought.

Conan jumped onto a chair and pointed at the page on the computer screen.

"Look, this is the identity of 'Kudo Yusaku' in this world!"

Qin Zhibo browsed the introduction above and understood what Conan meant.

"Isn't it just that the titles of the books they wrote are different? That's normal. After all, we are two people from two different worlds..."

Although they seem to be the same identity, there are definitely some differences in the details and they are not exactly the same.

Just like the "Conan" in this world can drive the skateboard dozens of meters into the sky, but Conan can't.

Seeing Qin Zhibo was unmoved, Conan raised his hand and pointed at the identity and shouted: "The 'Kudo Yusaku' in this world is not a mystery expert!"

"Uh..." Qin Zhibo was a little helpless, "Is this important?"

Conan frowned and said with an extremely serious expression: "Of course this is important! If Kudo Yusaku is not a mystery expert, how did this world's 'Conan' get his reasoning ability?"

"How can he be a detective?!"

There is no doubt that Conan cares very much about Japan's traditional hereditary system. Although Kudo Yusaku's identity as a mystery writer cannot be said to be hereditary, his reasoning ability will be inherited.

Just as a mouse's son can dig holes, Yusaku's son can reason.

But the Kudo Yusaku in this world is not even a reasoner, so how can he reason?

It would be impossible for "Conan" to make becoming a famous detective his lifelong ambition.

Qin Zhibo thought for a moment and understood Conan's surprise, so he patiently enlightened him.

"Doesn't this just prove that even without Kudo Yusaku's influence, you were destined to become a detective?"

"This is your true choice."

"And who says science fiction writers don't have the ability to reason? Strictly speaking, reasoning is a form of logical thinking. As long as one has strong logical thinking skills, anyone can reason."

"Whether writing science fiction or being an archaeologist, both require careful logical thinking. So in this respect, 'Kudo Yusaku' and 'Detective Conan' do have something in common..."

After listening to Qin Zhibo's words, Conan looked thoughtful.

After all, I have never seen the "Yusaku Kudo" in this world, so why do I think he can't reason?

As Qin Zhibo said, this is not a big deal.

It’s just that I have always regarded Kudo Yusaku as the benchmark of reasoning in my mind, and I have always wanted to surpass him.

But the benchmark of this world suddenly disappeared, and I felt a little anxious.

"What you said makes sense..."

Conan took another look at the webpage and finally let go of his grudge.

Gulu...

At this time, Conan's stomach made a noise again, making him blush.

"Let's eat, then."

……

Qin Zhibo and Conan had been hungry for a long time, and the food they brought from the convenience store was quickly eaten up like a whirlwind.

After dinner, Conan touched his round belly and asked Qin Zhibo what he planned to do next.

"I thought about it. We don't have any legal status and we don't have much money left. All we can do is find the woman named 'Mine Fujiko' from last night and ask her to take us to the Kingdom of Vesbania."

Conan questioned, "Will that cunning woman listen to you?"

Qin Zhibo smiled slightly and explained, "Think about it, she's now carrying the real Princess Mira, and she's definitely wanted by the Japanese police and Vesbania."

"In order to avoid being discovered, she must choose to cooperate with us."

"Otherwise, we can always call the police to arrest her. Even if we can't catch her, it will slow down her departure from Japan, which is definitely something she doesn't want to see."

Conan thought about it, and it was true, but the problem was...

"How do you plan to find that woman? It's been 10 hours since last night."

Qin Zhibo is naturally confident about this.

"Don't forget, my ability to find pets is top-notch..."

"Oh." Conan nodded subconsciously, then realized, "What's the connection between looking for a pet and looking for a person?"

But when I looked up, Qin Zhibo had already taken the garbage bag with the leftovers and put on a brown windbreaker over his black suit, which was a very warm outfit.

"Without further delay, let's get ready to go."

"This is your home. I'll leave the restoration of the study to you. I'll go out and wait for you..."

Qin Zhibo left with the garbage bag, allowing Conan to restore the study to its original state with peace of mind.

Conan quickly turned off the computer and restored the furniture to its original position.

But as he was about to leave, he glanced at the bookshelf next to a pillar.

According to Kudo Yusaku's habit in the original world, the bookshelf is filled with Kudo Yusaku's own works.

Looking at that corner, Conan felt itchy.

After thinking for two seconds, Conan decided to walk to the bookshelf.

Which one should I read?

His eyes slid across the titles on the spines until one name made his gaze stop.

"Whisper in the Dark"... sounds very similar to my dad's famous work "Duke of the Dark Night"...

That’s it.

Conan raised his hand and pulled out the book. It was quite thin and could just fit into his arms.

After putting the book in his pocket, Conan trotted out of the study room carrying last night's spoils, the "Solar Flying Skateboard".

……

Outside the Kudo residence, Qin Zhibo threw away the garbage and materialized the mountain bike.

I really have no money to take a taxi, so I can only rely on riding a bike.

After throwing away the garbage, he put on the magic extraction gloves and prepared to cast the retrieval spell.

The object-finding spell cannot search for targets that are too far away; the farthest range is probably the entire Tokyo.

After a night, Qin Zhibo believed that Mine Fujiko had not left Tokyo.

There are three reasons to support this judgment. First, Qin Zhibo used a locating spell last night to verify whether there is magic in this world.

At that time, he clearly sensed the location of Mine Fujiko.

Secondly, a cunning woman like Fujiko Mine should know that there is always something hidden beneath the surface. Besides, the police have not made public the news that Princess Mira was kidnapped, so it is not dangerous for her to stay in Tokyo.

Third, if one wants to leave Japan and go to the Kingdom of Vespania, it is more likely to leave from Tokyo, whether by air or sea.

Qin Zhibo closed his eyes and recalled the appearance of Mine Fujiko in his mind.

Although Princess Mira can also be a hidden object, there is also Ran Mouri, and the two are really easy to confuse.

The long wavy reddish-brown hair is her real hair color, and her enchanting and charming figure is also indispensable, especially the two dizzying "headlights" in front.

After standing for a few seconds, a direction appeared in Qin Zhibo's mind.

Southeast...

It's close to Tokyo Port. Does she plan to take the sea route?

Qin Zhibo calculated the distance to Tokyo Port on the navigator and thought to himself that something was wrong.

This place is too far from Tokyo Port, and you definitely can't get there by bike.

But he didn't even have enough money to take a taxi, and the money in Conan's wallet was far from enough.

It’s really a penny that stumps a heroic man!

This is how to do ah?

Qin Zhibo looked around and saw that there was no one around, so an evil idea came to his mind.

Since I'm an outsider and this is the sinful city of Mihua, I should just do as the locals do and "borrow" some money from someone's house...

Just then, a white Subaru sedan drove out of the house in Mu Ma Village not far away.
