Conan Rick's Investigator

Last time before that...

Last time, there was also...

Since he looks so familiar, he must be one of us!

However, this time Kidd miscalculated.

At this time, Qin Zhibo was pinching his shoulder with one hand, and there were several dents on his blue police uniform from being pinched.

Uncle, it hurts~

Kidd cried out in pain in his heart, then twisted around and escaped, his police uniform slipping off smoothly and quickly.

Peng!

The moon magician—Kaito Kidd makes a grand appearance again!

……

At this time, Officer Nakamori was standing in front and continuing to direct the helicopter to search for Kaito Kid in the sky, when he suddenly heard his men behind him shouting.

"What's going on? Why are you shouting?"

Officer Nakamori was about to turn around and teach his men a lesson when he saw Kaito Kidd in white clothes reappear in the police team.

Um?Um?Um?

Didn't Kaito Kidd fly away? Why is he still here?

Without time to think, Officer Nakamori waved his hand and rushed forward with his men.

"catch him!"

Everyone rushed forward, and only a dozen policemen were able to unscientifically create a large cloud of smoke on the roof.

However, in the chaos, Kaito Kidd had already jumped to the edge of the roof nimbly.

The eyes behind the monocle glanced at the people on the roof, and finally stopped at Qin Zhibo, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly.

"Well, everyone...see you later!"

As the glider behind him unfolded again, Kidd leaped straight into the air, deterring everyone who wanted to rush over and catch him.

However, Officer Nakamori was not so easy to give up. He picked up the walkie-talkie again and commanded the helicopter to chase Kidd.

This time, Kidd didn't pretend to fly away. With his eye-catching white clothes, he looked like a sitting duck in the night sky. He was immediately locked onto by four helicopters and flew away.

Qin Zhibo picked up a card on the ground where Kidd had just stood.

The Sabnis departed from Yokohama Port this month.

I want the genuine Black Star Pearl on the ship.

[Kaito Kidd appears]

Conan, who was standing next to him, also saw the card in Qin Zhibo's hand. He was about to step forward and ask for the card so that he could see it, but he suddenly remembered a series of actions he had just taken that were beyond the intelligence of an elementary school student.

Although Qin Zhibo may have seen through his disguise, he still has to pretend to be one in daily life.

"Uncle Qin is so awesome! He actually defeated Kaito Kidd!"

Faced with Conan's flattery, Qin Zhibo remained unmoved and handed the card to Officer Nakamori.

……

The next day, Qin Zhibo went to the Zhongshi Art Museum in person.

Entering the Medieval Art Museum, Qin Zhibo was surprised by the flow of people inside.

At that time, even on holidays, the number of people in the Medieval Art Museum was sparse.

The number of visitors to the Medieval Art Museum is now three times higher than on weekends even on weekdays.

In addition, the museum's collection is much richer than when Director Ochiai was in office.

After finding Matsumoto Ryohei, Qin Zhibo asked him in surprise how he did it.

“My father is quite an authority on history and archaeology, and he has many friends among private collectors.”

"I persuaded these people to bring their art collections to the museum for exhibition, and they can get a certain amount of dividends every year."

Qin Zhibo nodded in understanding. No wonder he saw a few familiar demon statues when he passed by the Hell exhibition hall just now.

These magnificent statues were once displayed in the lobby of a man's house, where a man disguised himself as his mother.

However, the fact that he was able to persuade private collectors to display their collections publicly also shows that Matsumoto Ryohei has considerable talent.

Although this may sound a bit disheartening, Director Ochiai's decades of passion cannot compare to Matsumoto Ryohei's less than one month of expertise.

When they arrived at the director's office, Qin Zhibo and Matsumoto Ryohei started talking about business.

"I want you to help me find someone, okay?"

"Can you give it a try, who?"

"Kaito Kuroba, a 17-year-old high school student, should be living in Tokyo."

Qin Zhibo checked the records of Kaito Kidd's crimes in the past six months and found that he was basically active within Tokyo.

The main reason for this is that Tokyo is the heart of Japan. If there are any large exhibitions worth stealing, they are usually held in Tokyo.

Since Kaito Kidd wants to commit thefts frequently, it would definitely be more convenient for him to live in Tokyo.

Ryohei Matsumoto stared at the four words "Kuroba Kaito" written on the bottom of the paper, thinking for a moment.

"Kuroba Kaito, a rare and interesting name..."

"I can help you find him, but what's the reward?"

Um...reward...

When it comes to rewards, Qin Zhibo's face inevitably twitched: "Forget about the rewards, we are old friends."

"As the director of such a large art museum, how could you possibly be short of money?"

Suddenly, Matsumoto Ryohei raised a finger and shook it left and right.

"The reward I'm talking about isn't money, but a meal at my house."

"Of course, this time you have to accept the meat dishes I cook."

amount……

Qin Zhibo thought it would be better to just give him the money directly.

"Why do you always like to invite people to dinner?"

Matsumoto Ryohei touched his chin with his index finger, thought for a moment and said, "It should be a hobby..."

“I like to invite people I’m interested in to eat the food I cook.”

amount……

If you have this hobby, why not open a soup kitchen?

Qin Zhibo asked again: "Then I'd like to bring someone to your house for dinner, is that okay?"

"...that's okay too."

Qin Zhibo got a positive answer and thought of the slender Ma Chengshi.

This child has been malnourished since childhood, it's time to supplement his nutrition...

Chapter 127 The Revenge of the Crystal Ball

Boom!

Katcha!

Under a thunderous sky, a witch's house in the forest outside Tokyo emits a gloomy dark red light.

Looking further ahead, in the forbidden secret room decorated with various ancient Egyptian murals, a girl in a dark red cloak stood quietly in front of a pedestal, and above the pedestal hung a blue crystal ball that glowed for no reason.

"Magic crystal ball!"

"Answer me! Who is the most beautiful person in the world?"

The girl asked an ambitious question, and the crystal ball immediately gave an answer in a shrill voice.

"Of course it's Miss Hongzi! The most beautiful person in the world is you."

"All men in the world will be your captives..."

"But besides Kaito Kidd..."

Suddenly, the handsome face of Kaito Kidd appeared in the crystal ball like an LCD display, and the girl immediately grabbed the crystal ball in anger.

"Kuroba Kaito again!"

"Speak! When shall I make him my prisoner?"

The crystal ball continued, "Please, please calm down. You'll be successful soon!"

"Really?"

The girl's expression changed faster than turning the pages of a book, and her anger immediately turned into joy.

Crystal ball: "Fake..."

"Even if you're an excellent witch, Miss Hongzi, this is impossible."

"Oh~ Wait! Wait!"

Cold sweat broke out on the surface of the crystal ball unreasonably because the angry girl had already raised the mallet in both hands and pointed it at herself. If she didn't explain, she might really be reduced to ashes.

"Because that man is about to disappear from your sight!"

As he spoke, another picture appeared in the crystal ball.

The Kaito Kidd in the picture looks embarrassed, with his hands handcuffed, and behind Kidd, a figure slowly emerges.

The man was wearing a brown windbreaker. His mixed-race face did not look very young, but he also had the unique temperament of a mature man.

"Who...is this person?" the girl asked doubtfully.

"This man is about to capture Kidd, on a big ship..."

Big ship...

The girl remembered the news she saw in the morning, which said that Kidd's first notice to steal the Black Star ended in failure, but a second notice was released immediately.

The location was on the SS Sabness cruise ship, which was celebrating the 60th anniversary of the Suzuki Group.

"Kid must be my prisoner!"

After saying that, the girl swung her cloak behind her domineeringly, turned around and walked out of the secret room.

After a long time, in the secret room that should have been dark, the suspended crystal ball still emitted a deep blue light and talked to itself.

"Hehehe~ Miss Hongzi, you've been fooled..."

"This is your revenge for destroying my shelter last time..."

The spirit in the crystal ball once again recalled the large mirror it had lived in before, which was called the "magic mirror" at that time.

Neither the crystal ball nor the magic mirror itself has any magical power. They can only work when a spirit resides in them.

Although they are spirits, they are just like humans; the larger the living space, the better.

As a result, because of a small wrong prediction last time, Miss Hongzi smashed her big house and replaced it with a small crystal ball that could only be used for living.

So the crystal ball wants revenge!

At the same time, a new figure appeared on the screen inside the crystal ball next to the embarrassed Kaito Kidd.

The figure gradually became clear, and it was the girl named "Hongzi".

They look as embarrassed as Kaito Kid. In the picture, the two of them, one on the left and the other on the right, look dejected and look like a couple.

And standing behind him was still the unknown mixed-race uncle.

……

The day on the notice letter arrived in the blink of an eye.
