"They are in the same group"
These words echoed repeatedly in Minase Youmeng's mind, and the girl's expression became dull, like a sculpture.
Qin Zhibo walked quickly while explaining: "That Aunt Lin and the old bastard are not dead at all. They are in the same group as those two gangsters."
"But I touched blood." The girl defended weakly.
Qin Zhibo shook his head, "It should be blood plasma or something. In terms of performance, they are quite professional. At least they didn't fool you with ketchup."
However, no matter how good your acting skills are at pretending to be a corpse, you can't escape Qin Zhibo's "discerning eyes".
These days, if there is no light on the body, can it be called a corpse?
Minase Youmeng's eyes flashed, "But how do you know this?"
"Huh -" Qin Zhibo groaned, "This is a long story, but I will try to keep it short."
It turned out that when he left the apartment in the afternoon, Qin Zhibo not only sent the young detective team away, but also returned to the office to get a set of lock picking tools.
Ever since he obtained the [Locksmith] skill by investigating corpses, Qin Zhibo purchased lockpicking tools through special channels in case of emergency.
As for the special channel, the cyanide used by so many criminals cannot be bought in a convenience store, right?
Taking the lock picking tool, Qin Zhibo returned to Jiudaomen Apartment and pried open the door of Room 404.
In fact, Qin Zhibo felt something was wrong ever since he saw Minase Yomu's admission file at Teidan High School.
A student admission file is missing many key information, and the only clue left is the address.
And where the address pointed to, there happened to be a family with the surname "Kato" living there.
If Minase Harumu's memory is correct, Kato Akira kidnapped her from behind when she was about to board the school bus.
This requires finding out Minase Yomu's work and rest time in advance, and requires a lot of preliminary investigation.
Of course, if Kato Akira lived next to Minase Harumu, this kidnapping plan would be easy to implement.
Also, is it possible that the school bus driver was unaware of this situation?
Even if the school bus driver didn't notice it at the time, he would have realized that there was a missing person on the bus and informed the school teacher.
It is impossible for Tedan High School to ignore the disappearance of the girl.
The most likely situation is that someone in the school suppressed the situation, or even that person handled the admission process for Minase Harumu.
Akira Kato is not the only one who is eyeing Minase Harumu, but many people.
There is a mole in Didan High School.
There is also a mole in the apartment.
First of all, "Kato" who lives in room 404 is very suspicious.
With the mentality of giving it a try, Qin Zhibo pried open the door.
Most of the personal belongings inside have been emptied out and are basically idle.
But in a cabinet, Qin Zhibo found a large number of books hidden under black cloth.
These books are basically archeology-related learning materials, occult books, and reference books for learning Latin.
These books alone have revealed the previous owner of this house.
The kidnapper, Akira Kato, lived downstairs from the girl.
Minase Harumu is 504, Kato Akira is 404.
Thinking of the address clues left specially in the admission file, and the fact that he and Minase Yomeng had walked across the playground of Didan High School in a swagger, Qin Zhibo realized that this matter was not over yet.
As expected, they took action tonight.
"So after I heard your scream, I rescued you."
"So you rescued me after you heard my scream."
The girl repeated what Qin Zhibo said, and then suddenly raised her hand. Judging from her movements, she wanted to hug Qin Zhibo.
However, the position of the two of them did not allow such movements. The girl could only raise her hand to pat Qin Zhibo's belly in a held position, and said happily: "The beautiful girl's vision is indeed right!"
"Well done! Uncle!"
Hearing that the girl had returned to her strange oral habit, Qin Zhibo's lips slightly raised, knowing that she had regained her energy again.
But then, Qin Zhibo's face suddenly turned ugly, and he grinned slightly, "Although, please don't pat my abdomen. There is an injury there and it has not completely healed."
"Ah?!" Minase Yomeng looked shocked and quickly stopped and apologized, "I'm sorry! I didn't know~"
Although he successfully rescued Minase Yomeng, Qin Zhibo still looked solemn.
The next key issue is how to deal with Minase Harumu.
In the apartment that Minase Youmu previously rented, there were at least three households, 502, 404, and 305, who had thoughts about her.
Teitan High School also has an insider hidden in the school, monitoring Minase Harumu's actions and providing intelligence.
Qin Zhibo could vaguely feel that a large invisible net was unfolding around Minase Yomeng.
In other words, Minase Harumu was in the middle of the net from the beginning.
The weaver of this web is most likely a premeditated organization.
They placed spies around Minase Youmeng, but what is their purpose?
Kidnapping?
Hostage?
If it was just for this, it wouldn't be such a big deal.
Why did Aunt Lin and the old bastard pretend to be dead and just kidnap Minase Harumu together?
Moreover, Kato Akira seems to be able to use spells that blur people's memories, and he may have signed a contract with the spiritual life form of "Is", which is someone like Koizumi Anko.
When such a group of people come together, what they are pursuing should not be simple things.
There are still many unclear situations, but the only thing that is certain is that this place is very dangerous.
Minase Harumu was rescued. Judging from the importance of the girl to them, they would definitely send people to search for her.
And as a famous detective, and someone who has been in contact with Minase Harumu before, he will inevitably become the first target of suspicion.
It's easy to dodge open fire but hard to guard against hidden arrows. Qin Zhibo didn't want to keep one eye open even when sleeping.
Call the police and let the police handle it?
Qin Zhibo shook his head: No, it is impossible to call the police.
It’s not that the police are untrustworthy, it’s simply that the Japanese police are incapable of trusting them in even ordinary daily cases, let alone cases involving strange forces, alien life and organized crime.
And judging from Akira Kato's behavior, the fact that he dared to openly live next to a current detective showed that they were not afraid of the police.
In addition to the police, another person you can rely on is the Nine Angels organization.
This is a good idea, but it cannot be used as a means to settle Minase Harumu.
Qin Zhibo, who is relatively familiar with the organizational structure of Nine Angels, knows that most of Nine Angels' agents are ordinary people who have their own jobs in life, have some investigative abilities, and are keen on investigating such incidents.
I have been in contact with Minase Yomu, and it is not convenient for me to come forward to investigate again in this capacity. Instead, I can entrust the Nine Angels Organization to help investigate whether there is any organization that is popular in Tokyo recently.
If you want to find a place to put Minase Harumu, you still have to start with the acquaintances around you.
Qin Zhibo opened his personal network and patiently checked to see if any of his friends could help.
After struggling in this world for more than a month, Qin Zhibo has now accumulated quite a few friends.
In addition to Conan, Mori Ran, Aso Minoru, and the three little ones who often meet, there are also other Koizumi Anko, Kuroba Kaito, and Shinname Kahori who don't often appear.
As well as people who have appeared in certain cases for a period of time, including Detective Hakuba, Ikumi Gunda, Kimie Shimabukuro, etc.
Among these friends, they are divided into five levels.
First-level friends can only be regarded as casual acquaintances, while only fifth-level friends can be regarded as true close friends.
Who to look for?
Qin Zhibo thought for a while and decided on a selection criterion.
This person cannot live in Tokyo. The more remote the address, the better. This will be safe enough.
But in fact, most people here live in Tokyo, and those who don't know where the other person lives don't have a strong relationship.
Moreover, the character of the character must also be considered, such as Detective White Horse. If you entrust him, you will definitely be investigated by him.
Koizumi Anko?
Although Koizumi Anko's witch's house is sparsely populated on the outskirts of Ekoda Town, Qin Zhibo couldn't imagine two tsunderes living together.
Moreover, Koizumi Anko is studying magic at home when she has nothing to do. If she triggers some of Minase Harumu's secrets, it will be troublesome.
If Minase Youmeng really has a mysterious secret, Qin Zhibo can be sure that Koizumi Anko will definitely use her as experimental material.
So, Koizumi Hongzi, Pass.
Continuing to examine a list of names in the relationship network, suddenly a person's name successfully jumped into Qin Zhibo's heart.
Yes!
How could I forget that I still have him!
Qin Zhibo carried Minase Youmeng through the streets, successfully arrived at 3-chome, and returned to the detective agency.
In the closet on the second floor of the office, Qin Zhibo found some women's clothes that he had bought when he got close to the owner of the women's clothing store downstairs, and asked the girl to quickly change into them.
"Don't peek~"
"Don't worry, I'm not interested in your little tablet."
"What a little tablet! It just hasn't started growing yet~"
The girl was talking nonsense while changing into women's clothes in the toilet.
These women's clothes are a little too big for Minase Youmu, both in terms of style and size, but at least they are more decent than a bathrobe.
She looked at the clothes on her body curiously, and then put on that mean smile on her face.
"Uncle, why are there women's clothes here? Isn't it possible that the beauty is hidden in the golden house?"
"Hide a mouse~ Hurry downstairs!"
What Qin Zhibo said is true, he is really just hiding a mouse.
The two went downstairs and came to the red Mustang convertible parked nearby.
Minase Youmeng looked at the convertible in front of him, his heart trembled, and he asked with some vigilance: "Uncle, are you going to send me away again?"
Qin Zhibo opened the car door and said matter-of-factly: "Of course, it is very dangerous for you to live here now. You must go to a safe place."
"I will be responsible for investigating that group, but you must get out of their sight before the danger is resolved."
When Minase Youmeng heard the first sentence, his expression was a little disappointed, but when he heard the second sentence, his face immediately lit up with joy.
"That means I can come back here in the future?!"
"."
Qin Zhibo was silent for a moment and replied: "If you are willing"
Before he finished speaking, Minase Yomeng immediately nodded in agreement.
"I do!"
"If you are willing, just get in the car quickly, there is no time."
At this moment, Qin Zhibo felt as if he had taken the initiative to get into a big headache.
The girl got into the passenger seat, turned around and asked, "By the way, uncle, where are you sending me?"
Qin Zhibo smiled slightly, and his standard smile contained a lot of knowledge about how to behave in the world.
"Don't worry, they are definitely a good family."
In the dark forest, a beautiful red shadow passed through.
"Uncle, there is no one in such a gloomy place, right?"
"."
Faced with the girl's question, Qin Zhibo did not answer immediately.
Because along the way, the girl has made a lot of complaints like this.
It wasn't until the convertible turned the corner that a gloomy villa stood in front of them.
After the lights are completely turned off, the villa looks even more eerie in the forest, as if a shadow with indescribable power is standing tall.
Qin Zhibo turned the convertible to the open space in front of the villa and parked side by side with the dark blue Ford van.
"Okay, we're here."
"Is this here?" Minase Yomu looked up at the quaint villa in front of him in disbelief, and then frowned slightly at the eerie and strange surroundings.
The forest surrounding the villa made rustling noises from time to time, as if something terrible might rush out of the shadows in the forest at any time.
"Uncle, is this a place where people live? It's too scary."
Qin Zhibo nodded matter-of-factly, "Of course, building a villa in a place like this is not something ordinary people can do."
Minase Youmeng pouted and complained slightly, "Yeah, of course it's not ordinary people who can do this."
While they were talking, Qin Zhibo walked to the spacious porch and knocked on the door knocker rhythmically.
Great, great, great——
The dull sound contrasted with the surrounding silence and seemed a bit out of place.
After waiting for a while, more out of place light emitted from the glass windows of the villa, dispersing some of the surrounding gloom.
When the wooden door slowly opened, a middle-aged man with a gentle face stood out, wearing a gray-brown nightgown.
Seeing Qin Zhibo, the middle-aged man was obviously surprised on his face.
"What a surprising late-night visitor, Mr. Qin."
Qin Zhibo also nodded and responded: "It's been a long time indeed, Matsumoto."
Matsumoto Ryohei, formerly the full-time housekeeper of Souha's house, later served as the director of the Mid-Sea Museum of Art and became a "part-time worker" working a nine-to-five job.
This is the suitable candidate Qin Zhibo thought of.
Whether there is a villa in the suburbs or the housekeeper is good at dealing with people, it is the best choice to accept Minase Harumu.
Looking at Qin Zhibo who came to visit late at night, Matsumoto Ryohei was also a little puzzled.
But then he looked at the short-haired girl standing behind, his brows relaxed a little, and he asked in a half-joking tone, "So, are you here to deliver ingredients to me?"
Qin Zhibo: "Well, this hell joke is not funny."
Minase Yomeng behind him shook his head, wondering what the two of them were talking about.
"Anyway, it's cold outside, so come in and have a cup of hot tea."
Matsumoto Ryohei opened the door with a professional smile on his face.
