Chapter 863 Circus in the Zoo

PreviousBack to directoryNext
Before nearby passers-by gathered around, Shuichi Akai and James left first.

Qin Zhibo stood there, carefully testing the surroundings and explaining to passers-by who did not dare to step forward that he was a detective and that the one who was knocked unconscious was a kidnapper pretending to be a policeman.

Fortunately, Qin Zhibo's face was exposed when he solved the Tokyo Tower explosion a while ago. Some passers-by still recognized this mixed-race face, and the misunderstanding was easily resolved.

After a while, the police arrived and sent the three kidnappers to the hospital first. One of them had a broken nose, and the other two were men whose basic functions were severely damaged.

Takagi, who was in charge of recording, came over and asked: "By the way, Mr. Qin, where is the foreigner who was held hostage?"

"Huh? Isn't he here?"

Qin Zhibo pretended to be stupid and looked around twice, "Then where did he go?"

Takagi: "...I heard from passers-by that there was another person involved in rescuing the hostages. Where is that person now?"

"I can't come~"

Seeing Qin Zhibo's serious expression, Takagi had no choice but to close the police manual.

Although the hostage in the case was missing, fortunately he left on his own, the case was solved relatively smoothly, and the Metropolitan Police breathed a sigh of relief.

After all, the kidnappers were cosplayed by Japanese police. If some unscrupulous editors wrote the news headline as "Japanese police kidnap Americans," the situation would be serious.

Qin Zhibo was going to the Metropolitan Police Department to record a detailed statement, and happened to meet Dr. A Li and his young detective team coming to record a statement.

From Qin Zhibo's words, Conan and others learned that the kidnapping had been successfully solved, which felt very incredible.

"Uncle, how did you catch up with those kidnappers?"

Would I still tell you if I had a finding spell?

Qin Zhibo thought for a while and analyzed seriously: "Since the kidnappers are cosplayers, they must have exposed their faces. Even if they receive the ransom, they will definitely kill them to avoid future troubles."

"The most suitable place for dumping bodies near Tokyo is the mountainous area of ​​Gunma Prefecture. Just predict their route to Gunma Prefecture and find a police car..."

Qin Zhibo's "hindsight" analysis made Conan feel that it was quite reasonable. Why didn't he think of this at the time?

It seems that I need to go further in my reasoning.

...

When I came out of the Metropolitan Police Department after recording my confession, it was already noon.

Qin Zhibo, the Young Detective Team, and Dr. Ali found a roadside family restaurant and had a simple lunch.

The eating process was relatively safe, and no fatalities occurred. This once again proved that Conan can only trigger an event once a day.

After eating, Qin Zhibo also needed to go about his own business. He said goodbye to Conan and others and drove back to the Abedo Theater.

According to the theater's program schedule, there are two performances at Hawke's Wonderful Circus today, one in the morning and one in the afternoon.

Having the experience of being followed by a scar-faced man with flying knives in the circus in the morning, Qin Zhibo did not enter the theater this time, but chose to wait in a cafe near the theater.

After the performance ended and the audience walked out of the theater, Qin Zhibo settled the bill from the cafe and came to the back door of the theater, where he saw cages of animals being loaded onto the truck.

In the morning, Qin Zhibo asked the theater staff that since large animals are not allowed to stay overnight in the theater building, all the circus animals need to be transferred to a nearby zoo at night.

Circus workers drive large animals, while small animals are placed in cages and pushed onto trucks along wooden boards.

Among the busy staff, Qin Zhibo saw the legendary Randy Hawke, helping to move the animals.

There are obvious differences between his real-life appearance and James, especially in terms of stature. Although he is slightly shorter than the 180-cm James, he is much more muscular. His broad shoulders and strong tendons show that he has been exercising regularly.

Unlike James, although he may have been a Lian Po when he was young, he is indeed old now, and even the kidnappers pretending to be policemen dare not fight head-on.

Three large trucks were filled with animals. Randy Hawke sat in the front of one of the trucks, and the convoy set off slowly.

Qin Zhibo's own red convertible was too high-profile, so he hailed a taxi.

"I'll give you 10,000 yen to follow the truck in front of you."

"okay!"

The taxi driver who received the large banknote didn't care what the passenger's purpose was. He was just a detective anyway. He immediately stepped on the accelerator and followed.

The whole journey was extremely ordinary and the speed was very slow. After all, the trucks were loaded with animals and could not stand big bumps.

It wasn't until it was getting dark that three trucks drove into a moderately sized zoo called ***...taking a zoo.

When he arrived at the final destination, Qin Zhibo got off the bus. When the driver calculated the time, he realized that he had lost money on this trip.

Although the distance from the Aipado Grand Theater to the Tokyo Zoo would normally cost less than 10,000 in fares, my trip took too long and I lost a lot of money in time.

Bagya Road!

The angry driver wanted to discuss the fare again with the passenger, but when he raised his head, the passenger had disappeared.

...

The zoo has closed for business, and outsiders cannot enter through the main entrance. They can only look for gaps in the fence on the periphery of the zoo.

After walking around almost half of the zoo, I finally found a place that was easier to enter.

This is an artificial rockery, about the height of a two-story building, integrated with an ordinary fence, but you can stand on it, which is exactly what Qin Zhibo wanted.

He took out the [Flying Claw] and threw it upwards, and the investigator's hand bones firmly grasped the top of the rockery.

I climbed for more than a minute along the rockery that was almost vertical to the ground at 90°, reached the top, climbed down for a while, and jumped down.

But the moment his feet landed on the ground, Qin Zhibo felt something was wrong.

The dark ground was not hard asphalt, but soft grass, accompanied by the stench of feces.

Um?

Qin Zhibo turned on his night vision goggles and discovered that the environment he was in was not a tourist trail, but a bear pit.

Less than five meters away from me, there was a big black bear taking a nap, surrounded by scattered fruit pulp and cores.

These are fruits fed by tourists, but it does not mean that black bears are herbivores. If someone dares to jump in, they don't mind adding another meal.

Qin Zhibo stabilized his mind. After all, the black bear in the zoo was still far different from the black bear "Jubei" he met in the mountain where he was picking mushrooms.

Besides, this black bear is taking a nap, so I should be able to get out smoothly.

Qin Zhibo faced the black bear, kept his body as low as possible, and moved his steps carefully, fearing that the slightest sound would disturb the black bear.

But just as he was moving, his feet suddenly became soft, and something under the soles seemed to deform.

Qin Zhibo had already guessed what it was, it was bear excrement.

Damn! I’m so unlucky.

Forget it, just treat it as eliminating the smell.

Qin Zhibo comforted himself, then moved to the edge of the pit, continued to take out the [Flying Claw], and grabbed the railing above.

Just at this time, the scent of Qin Zhibo, an outsider, finally drifted into the black bear's nose. The dozing black bear immediately raised its head alertly, searching for intruders who had broken into its territory.

But fortunately, Qin Zhibo has successfully climbed out of the pit. Looking at the figure standing high up, the black bear can only think that it is another "fool's food" that often comes to see him. He wants to be eaten but does not jump down actively, so he continues.

Gone to take a nap.

The first time he was in a night zoo, Qin Zhibo looked around at the surroundings.

In order not to affect the normal routine of the animals, most of the zoo's lights are turned off at night, except for a few intersections of main roads, which are dotted with a weak street light.

This results in that the large cages and animal pits in the park are almost completely dark at night, and it is difficult to see clearly what animals are with the naked eye. Only a vague shadow can be seen, giving people an indescribable feeling.

If it were combined with the strange stories about the zoo rules of Xiao Huo in his previous life, and the hazy feeling of the night zoo, it could be developed into a scare park?

Qin Zhibo thought about it casually and came up with a strange business idea.

However, the animals here are all ordinary animals. There are no real monsters like Mi-Go, ghouls, and shoggoths, so they are still inferior.

Putting aside his strange thoughts, Qin Zhibo started to do business and headed towards the deepest part of the park from the main road.

After walking for about a quarter of an hour, in front of the two-story office building in the deepest part of the park, Qin Zhibo saw three trucks in the parking lot, which were used by Hawke Circus to transport animals.

Most of the animals are still in cages, but they are placed in empty parking lots, one by one, in lonely cages.

Qin Zhibo was worried that his smell would cause commotion among these animals, so he avoided the parking lot and went to the back of the office building.

The Found Object Spell showed that Randy Hawke was in the building now.

The mission of the Nine Angels organization is to find out the purpose of Randy Hawke's trip to Japan. If they really have any purpose, they are probably discussing it now.

Qin Zhibo quietly put the [Guard Totem] into the building. Just when he was about to close his eyes and control it, he suddenly felt a murderous aura coming from behind.

This fierce murderous aura shocked Qin Zhibo. He looked back and saw the scar-faced man holding a flying knife during the day. He threw the knife over with a flick of his hand.

Faced with the cold light in his eyes that could kill someone, Qin Zhibo did not dare to neglect, and dodged his head to the side, flying almost touching his scalp.

However, just as he dodged the knife, the scar-faced man threw two more flying knives, each flying towards the fatal part of Qin Zhibo's body.

Qin Zhibo relied on his quick reaction to bend down, and the flying knife hit the wall, making a crisp clang when it landed.

Having seen the scar-faced man's throwing knife skills during the day, Qin Zhibo knew that he could no longer keep a distance from him, so before the scar-faced man took out the fourth throwing knife, he quickly rushed to him and kicked Scar directly.

The crotch of a man with a face.

However, what Qin Zhibo didn't expect was that this kick was extremely painful for both men and women. The scar-faced man just shook his body with the force of the kick, and there was no trace of pain on his scarred face.

Um?

Don't you feel pain?

At this moment, Qin Zhibo wanted to ask this question very much, but the scar-faced man didn't give him this chance at all and had already stabbed him with a flying knife.

Upon seeing this, Qin Zhibo immediately moved away from the edge of the blade with both hands, grabbed the scar-faced man's arm with one hand, and reached under the scar-faced man's creak with the other hand.

Krav Maga focuses on the fastest and most effective counterattack when forced to defend, that is, quickly attacking the opponent's weaknesses while defending.

The weak points of the human body are not only the crotch, but also the areas below the creaks, throat, eye sockets, etc., which are all effective attack points that can make the opponent lose combat effectiveness in a short period of time.

Although Qin Zhibo's most commonly used method is to lift his crotch and legs, he is sinister and vicious, but he is also surprisingly successful, but it does not mean that he will not use other techniques.

It's just that the crotch and leg lift is Qin Zhibo's most proficient move. Because of the double training of the substitute and himself, the skill of one kick has been almost twenty years.

Therefore, it can be said that Qin Zhibo's handwriting skills are superior.

The man with the scarred face was struck below the creaking pit, and his right arm instantly felt a sharp numbness. This was the feeling of nerves and tendons being compressed. Even if there was no pain, the force on his hand would loosen, and the flying knife would fall.

On the ground.

Taking advantage of the fact that the scar-faced man couldn't move one of his hands and his body balance was poor, Qin Zhibo grabbed his paralyzed arm with both hands, got under it, twisted it hard, and threw him out.

The scar-faced man's body rotated 360° at low altitude and fell heavily to the ground, raising a cloud of dust on the ground.

However, just when Qin Zhibo thought that this fall would make the scar-faced man a little more honest, he quickly got up from the ground and roared like a beast.

"Ouch——"

He roared and rushed towards him, Qin Zhibo opened his arms to catch him, but at the moment of the collision, Qin Zhibo was thrown several meters away.

The angry scar-faced man is like a small tank, with amazing strength.

Qin Zhibo fell to the ground and coughed twice. Fortunately, he didn't vomit blood, but his stomach hurt a lot.

However, the scar-faced man still refused to give in. Just as he was about to continue charging over, a sharp shout suddenly came from not far away.

"Stop it!"

Qin Zhibo turned to look in the direction of the sound and saw Randy Hawke standing in front of the back door of the office building. More circus employees came out to check the situation.

With the appearance of Randy Hawke, the scarred man seemed to gradually regain his composure, and his bent body straightened up.

Randy Hawke came over and stretched out his palm towards Qin Zhibo, as if asking someone to pull him up.

"You're not hurt, are you?"

Qin Zhibo looked at the palm handed over by Randy Hawke warily, and did not extend his hand to respond. Instead, he turned over and stood up.

Seeing this, Randy Hawke just laughed openly, took back his generous palm, and said: "Mr. Qin, when I saw you backstage this morning, I knew we might need to have a good talk."

Randy Hawke spoke a slightly unfamiliar Japanese, but Qin Zhibo was a little confused.

"Have you discovered me a long time ago?"

Randy Hawke smiled and nodded, "Yes, you are very famous in Japan as a famous detective. It's easy to know..."

"Oh~ no, you asked about 'discovery', right?"

"That ghost has been floating around you this morning, like a balloon in a child's hand. Even if you want to, you can't ignore it..."
