Chapter 817 Time and Space Explorer 'Chiba'

PreviousBack to directoryNext
"Aha?"

Qin Zhibo frowned slightly and looked at Qianye in front of him, not knowing what he was planning.

Are you pretending to have amnesia?

But judging from the dull expression, it doesn't look like it, unless his character card has the Arts and Crafts (Performance) skill.

"You really don't remember me?"

"Qianye" shook his head and said nonchalantly: "I'm sorry, sir, I haven't found any relevant information about you in the knowledge I've come across."

"If what you are talking about is the troubles encountered by the original owner of this body, those have nothing to do with me."

"I just obeyed the contract with Mr. Kato, that's all."

After saying that, "Qianye" turned around numbly and was about to leave in another direction.

Qin Zhibo's brain quickly thought about what "Qianye" said and noticed the key points.

What is "the contract with Mr. Kato"?

Does this have anything to do with what Kato said about "Chiba being an accomplice"?

At this moment, Chiba Kazuki seemed to have another soul living in his body, instead of the familiar Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department Detective Section 1 Detective Chiba Kazuki.

And this "soul" must know the truth of the matter.

"Hey! Wait a minute!"

"You can't leave."

Qin Zhibo ran two steps quickly, stepped forward and grabbed "Qianye"'s shoulders, trying to keep him behind.

But "Qianye" turned around and took out a metal tube-like object similar to a pocket pistol from his trouser pocket and pointed it at Qin Zhibo's body.

Looking at the black hole at the mouth of the pipe, he didn't know what would come out of it in the next second. Qin Zhibo could only freeze his body and stood there without daring to move rashly.

"Sir, I don't want to cause trouble, but I've already told you what I know, so why do you bother?"

"Yeah?"

Qin Zhibo's iron will kept his face calm and asked: "Who are you? You haven't said this yet, have you?"

"If you don't tell me who you are, there will be many people like me who don't know the situation."

After a brief exchange with the strange soul in Qianye's body, Qin Zhibo has noticed some of this soul's personality characteristics.

This soul has strong rationality, but it is different from the human thinking model.

It seems that his understanding of human society is limited to knowledge and lacks practice.

In this case, all I have to do is obey his ideas.

"If you tell me the current situation of Chiba, I can help you tell others."

"They won't bother you again in the future."

Social Skills (Persuasion): Success!

Under Qin Zhibo's persuasion, "Qianye" slowly put down the metal pipe in his hand.

His eyes stared straight at Qin Zhibo without any expression. After a few seconds, his lips opened.

"I am not human."

"I am a spiritual being who came here from a place you humans cannot understand."

After hearing these words, the expression on Qin Zhibo's face was calmer than he imagined.

I don’t know why, but after experiencing some things, when I hear these things again, I always feel indifferent and say, “Oh, so that’s how it is.”

Seeing that Qin Zhibo had no strong reaction or even no reaction at all, "Qianye" became a little uneasy.

"Don't you believe it?"

Qin Zhibo: "No, I believe it."

"Oh, that's really a pity, if you don't believe it. Eh? Do you believe it?"

Qin Zhibo nodded, "Why don't you believe it? What you said is so 'scientific'."

"So, why are you here? And why is it 'Chiba'?"

"Qianye" paused for a moment, then continued expressionlessly: "The reason why I came to earth in this era, I can tell you now."

"Our race has long relied on the shadow across time to project the spirit into the bodies of other species, replacing the original consciousness of the host, to continue the future of our race."

"Currently, our race has discovered that time in this era has dual attributes of order and chaos, causing the shadow of time to pass extremely slowly, which is equivalent to a large-scale 'time stagnation block', which is very suitable for our race to create a relatively long-lasting period in this era.

civilization."

"As a time and space examiner of race, I have traveled across time and dimensions to examine the livable conditions of this world."

Qin Zhibo patiently listened to these words and did not feel that they were nonsense at all. Instead, he was a little moved.

It turns out that you also feel that the passage of time in this world is abnormal!

Comrade!

It’s not me that’s wrong! It’s the world!

At this moment, Qin Zhibo almost burst into tears, but he still held back his tears.

"Ahem. What's the name of your race? Can you tell me?"

"E,S."

[Ding—Acquire 400 points of mysterious mythological knowledge and skill proficiency]

Qin Zhibo's brain was shocked and he noticed the new prompt that the system popped up.

It seems that this spiritual entity calling itself "Yis" is not lying, and their race really exists.

"What about the original owner of this body? Why did you choose him?" Qin Zhibo asked again.

"Qianye" shook his head and replied: "Sorry, this matter involves many secrets that cannot be told. According to the contract, I cannot reveal it easily."

Qin Zhibo thought for a while, and he knew very little about this "Iss" now. It was using Qianye's body, and he couldn't force it to confess anything. It would be better to try to get as much information as possible that could be made public.

"What about the consciousness of the owner of this body? Isn't your spirit replaced with his? Where will his consciousness go?"

"Qianye" shook his head a little, "The human consciousness will enter my original body, where he can know everything he needs to know to ensure that his spirit will not collapse. But I am afraid that that knowledge will not be able to bring him to the end.

return"

After saying that, "Qianye" imitated the appearance of humans and waved stiffly towards Qin Zhibo.

"Goodbye, sir."

"Chiba" turned around and left, disappearing around the corner of the street in a moment.

Qin Zhibo froze in place and did not move for a long time.

Until a cold feeling stimulated the skin on his face.

When I looked up, there was light snow falling in the dark sky.

Shinagawa Municipal Hospital, Qin Zhibo rushed there.

From Minase Yomeng's call, Qin Zhibo learned that all injured people were receiving medical treatment here.

Pushing open Ward 404, Genta and Mitsuhiko were lying on the beds inside, with Mourilan, Conan, Ayumi and Minase Yomu standing around them.

The two little ones had gauze wrapped around their heads, but they were in good spirits. They were eagerly discussing the plot of tonight's episode of Masked Superman.

Seeing Qin Zhibo walk in, the two people lying on the hospital bed looked happy and asked quickly.

"Uncle! Have the bad guys been caught?"

"without"

Hearing such an answer, Qin Zhibo thought that the two children would be depressed for a while, but unexpectedly they became even more excited.

"Great! When I go out, I will catch that bad guy with my own hands! How dare you push me. Oops, my head."

Yuan Taiyi was anxious and excited, his blood surged up, and his head, which had just calmed down, started to hurt again.

Mao Lilan came over and told Qin Zhibo about their condition. They both suffered mild concussions, and the doctor said the problem was not serious.

"What about you?" Qin Zhibo turned to ask Mao Lilan.

"There's nothing wrong with me." Mao Lilan smiled and shook her head, "I just accidentally got knocked unconscious by that spray."

At this moment, Minase Youmeng suddenly came up to the side and raised an arm excitedly, "And me! And me!"

Qin Zhibo glanced sideways, "Why are you the only one left?"

Minase Yomeng was obviously a big kid, but he showed a jealous expression like a child, "Of course, why don't you ask me how I am?"

Qin Zhibo sweated and said speechlessly: "You haven't done anything. You are just like a human being. What do you have to ask?"

"Ah! What a heartless uncle~"

Minase Youmeng hugged her arms, and she seemed to be arrogant and angry, and her expression of crossing too quickly made Maori Landu amused.

In this happy atmosphere, Conan was the only one with a straight face, thinking about something that seemed unbelievable to him.

Qin Zhibo didn't catch the prisoner?

It's really strange. With Lao Qin's strength, he would almost never miss.

In Conan's impression, as long as Qin Zhibo takes action, the case will be no problem, and emergencies can be handled properly.

This also gave rise to Conan's idea of ​​"spoiling" the moment he noticed "Moori Kogoro" without tools during the fishing competition - it doesn't matter, Qin Zhibo will take action anyway.

But this time, the prisoner who seemed to be just an ordinary company employee was able to escape from Qin Zhibo.

Conan's lips parted slightly, and he was about to ask specifically how the prisoner escaped.

But when I think about the amazing qualities that I and Qin Zhibo showed when tracking the prisoner together, I still feel like forgetting it.

If Qin Zhibo feels embarrassed and doesn't want to say anything, he will make fun of himself with his status.

Anyway, Qin Zhibo's character is worthy of his trust, so let's just treat it as a small mistake this time.

While waiting for a few hours in the hospital, Takagi came over to understand the situation in person and made notes for several people.

From the "tight-lipped" Takagi, Qin Zhibo and Conan learned about the latest investigation status from the police.

First of all, after a joint search by the Kanagawa and Tokyo police, the clothes Akira Kato wore when he escaped have been found somewhere along the coast of Tokyo Bay.

Secondly, in order to lock incriminating evidence, the police examined the fingerprints on the prohibited children's photos, and discovered something surprising.

The fingerprints on the photo belong to Chiba Kazunobu.

However, the police forensics section could not find Akira Kato's fingerprints anywhere on the items in every corner of the apartment.

In other words, where the two spent time together, Kato Akira did not leave any fingerprints, not even a suspected crime tool.

This situation has caused great trouble in solving the case. In the absence of corresponding irrefutable evidence, the authorities will not approve the arrest warrant application.

Therefore, the police currently need to find the missing Chiba Kazunobu as soon as possible to establish and consolidate the criminal evidence.

"By the way, do you know where Chiba went?" Takagi asked casually as he packed up the police manual.

"I don't know."×n

Except for Qin Zhibo, none of these people really knew.

Qin Zhibo had already thought about how to deal with the police, and that was to pretend not to know.

After all, it is difficult to tell ordinary people about this kind of thing. Chiba's body is occupied by spiritual life forms? Are you kidding?

Moreover, the reasons behind this matter seem to be very complicated, and even involve the "Issian" life form. With the power of the police, I am afraid that it will not be so easy to investigate the truth.

In other words, what limits the police's search capabilities is the backward materialistic thinking.

If you don't believe in "magic", "witchcraft", "contract" and the like, how can you catch Akira Kato?

After sending Takagi away, such a "fulfilling" day was over, and it was time for everyone to go back to their homes and find their mothers.

Since the incident in the haunted bungalow, Qin Zhibo saw the parents of the three little ones come on the scene for the first time in a long time and take the three wild children away.

As for the remaining Conan, he naturally went home with Mao Lilan, and Qin Zhibo also had his own office.

So the question is, what should Minase Harumu do?

Because there were so many things that happened later today, Yokomori Shigego, who was addicted to catching prisoners, had long forgotten his mission of sending Minase Harumu home.

"So where is your home?"

"Huh? Where does my family live?"

Facing Qin Zhibo's inquiry, Minase Yomeng seemed to be trying to remember, but suddenly the topic changed and she started singing.

“My family lives in Loess Gaopo~~”

"Loess? Which district in Tokyo is this?" Mao Lilan looked confused and didn't understand what it meant.

Hearing the familiar tune, Qin Zhibo's eyes were startled. He didn't expect that this yellow-haired girl knew so much. How could he even know this?

Qin Zhibo felt a little strange, so he decided to test it out and started singing.

"Stop talking nonsense~ If you are talking nonsense~"

"I'm a stick!"

"Palace Yuye Liquor"

"One hundred and eighty cups!"

Minase Youmu shouted out the answer again with her feet hopping, squinting like a child.

But her strange knowledge reserve surprised Qin Zhibo again.

Even the "code" is known. Is this the Neon Man?

Or are you a neon person who loves to watch sketches?

Qin Zhibo was trying to figure out the origin of Minase Yangmeng, but Mao Lilan on the side didn't care, thinking that the two were performing a comedy show in which they cooperated tacitly.

Bang bang bang——

Mao Lilan clapped her hands and said jokingly: "It's so funny~ You should form a comedy artist group!"

"Really? Then let's call it the 'Uncle and the Beautiful Girl' combination!"

"Or pursue an international style and call it the 'Beauty and the Beast' group."

Qin Zhibo looked at Minase Youmeng who was so naive that he believed it was real, and didn't know what to say.

Judging from this day's contact, Minase Yomu's characteristics are as follows.

He has a very light body, possesses a strange reserve of knowledge, has a narcissistic oral habit, and has a temperament like a child who is ignorant of the world and has almost no idea of ​​his own life experience.

Recalling what Akira Kato once said, if those were true, her identity might not be ordinary.

Otherwise, why would Akira Kato, who possesses secret knowledge, kidnap such a weak girl alone?

Conan, who was standing low, looked up at Minase Harumu who was discussing how to debut with Mao Lilan, and was thinking in his heart.

Why does she say that I am different from other children?

Could it be.

This is impossible. Even Mao Lilan can't see it. How can she be a stranger?

Conan shook his head a few times before kicking this somewhat terrifying thought out of his mind.

In the end, several people decided that Qin Zhibo would temporarily take in Minase Yomeng.
