"The royal palace of this country is currently controlled by an alien race called 'Mi·Go'..."
As soon as these words came out, "Conan" and Kudo Yusaku opposite looked shocked.
Especially "Conan", he looked stunned at first, but then he remembered the origin of "Mi·Ge".
This is the plot of my father’s novel, “The Whispering in the Dark Night”!
As the son of a famous writer, "Conan" has certainly read his father's works. Although they are not mystery works, they are quite interesting to read and can open up your imagination.
But how could the plot in the novel appear in reality?
"Hey, what are you talking about?!"
"Conan" couldn't bear the "fooling" from the other side, and shouted loudly: "What you are talking about is... the content in the novel cannot appear in reality!"
"Conan" almost said "dad", revealing his father-son relationship with Kudo Yusaku.
But in fact, which of the two people standing across from each other doesn't know the ins and outs of their relationship?
Conan looked at "himself" across from him, the "Conan" of this world, and was not surprised by his violent reaction.
If I had not traveled to a parallel world and had not seen "myself" in another world, I would certainly not believe in the existence of "aliens" or the like.
From a reasoning point of view, if existences such as "aliens" that are inconsistent with common sense are also included in the discussion, then countless possibilities will be deduced.
Therefore, any topic that includes aliens is an insult to the intelligence of detectives.
But when the facts are before you, even if you don't want to believe them, you must accept them.
Presenting evidence and telling facts are also necessary conditions for becoming a detective.
At this point, Conan feels that Qin Zhibo has done a very good job.
Although it was the first time I heard about "Mi·Go", I quickly accepted this fact and used it as bait to arouse Kudo Yusaku's interest.
It’s time to learn and use it now…
Compared to "Conan"'s slightly violent reaction, Kudo Yusaku standing next to him was much calmer.
During his long adventure career, he has learned some habits, which is to give priority to the "people" who provide the information rather than the "information" itself.
Otherwise, you will be misled by "intelligence" that you don't know to be true or false, and fall into a trap.
His face was calm, and his eyes under the lenses were observing the masked duo standing across from the cargo.
The clothes are very new, the knees and shoes have no wear and tear, they are newly bought...
The golden mask is a specialty of the Vespagna region and is also new...
The two of them adopt the same straddle stance, possibly to avoid exposing too many body movements caused by personal habits...
Various superficial phenomena made Kudo Yusaku think of a possibility.
"Do you think I know you?" Kudo Yusaku suddenly asked.
This sharp question shocked Qin Zhibo and Conan under the mask at the same time. Faced with this amazing information, Kudo Yusaku was actually thinking about this.
And his guess was indeed good. He and Conan used various methods to hide their identities and avoid being recognized.
However, Qin Zhibo reacted very quickly, letting out a phlegm-like laugh from his throat.
"Haha... I just said that we are a secret investigation organization. Even if we are 'saving the world,' we must ensure that our personal identity is not exposed to anyone."
"But maybe we have met at a book signing event? My son and I are both loyal fans of your book, Mr. Kudo..."
As he spoke, Qin Zhibo reached out and rubbed Conan's head next to him.
Conan also understood immediately, and with great cooperation, he took out the hardcover edition of "The Whispering in the Dark" from his arms and shook it in front of his chest.
With this one operation, you can almost confirm your identity.
A father and son who are book lovers?
Kudo Yusaku tried hard to recall whether he had ever met a father and son who came to sign autographs at the same time at a book signing, but his brain did not have the ability to save and read files, so he gave up after thinking for a few seconds.
"Well, since you said you are from an organization that needs to remain mysterious, I don't expect to ask for details about your organization."
"But at least provide some tokens of your organization? If there are no tokens, how can we trust your words?"
Yusaku Kudo tested him again, which made Conan secretly feel bad.
He did not expect that the "Kudo Yusaku" in this world not only had strong reasoning ability, but also had a strong sense of vigilance.
Qin Zhibo's extremely professional organizational introduction just now did not scare Kudo Yusaku.
Faced with Kudo Yusaku's new request, Qin Zhibo hesitated for half a second and immediately agreed.
"No problem, let me show you a badge of our organization..."
He took out his wallet from his pocket and unfolded it to reveal the brass badge inside.
Kudo Yusaku and "Conan" took the time to look. In the dim light and the dull metallic luster of the brass itself, they could only see a shield on it with English letters engraved around the shield.
Conan next to him could see what Qin Zhibo was showing at a glance.
Holy shit!
He's showing off his college badge!
Qin Zhibo only showed his badge for two seconds and immediately put the badge away to prevent the other party from seeing the word "University" on the edge.
There is no Miskatonic University in this world, and the iconic pattern on the coat of arms does not worry about being seen.
Kudo Yusaku was stunned for a moment. He did not clearly see the words on it, but he could tell that the badge had some history and was very exquisitely designed.
It seems that this man is not lying, at least there may really be an orderly organization behind him...
Qin Zhibo saw Kudo Yusaku's slightly raised eyebrows and knew that he finally believed it.
So he continued: "Continuing with the topic just now, I can tell you the current situation of the Vespagna Palace..."
"The alien race 'Mi Go' has reached a cooperation with Duke Kilard to take full control of the palace and use the coup as an excuse to persecute the opposition. The conditions for the cooperation between the two parties are the newly discovered ores in Vespania."
"Of course, the so-called 'Mi. Go' is exactly the alien creature in your book "Whispering in the Dark," Mr. Kudo..."
"Mr. Kudo, I really want to know, what is the basis for your book?"
Qin Zhibo also asked Conan next to him, and "Conan" was curious about why Kudo Yusaku wrote such a novel.
In other words, with this type of book, Kudo Yusaku has almost created a new genre of novels!
Kudo Yusaku's face was heavy and his eyes were filled with thoughts.
After a few seconds, he glanced at his biological son next to him and decided to tell the secret that had been buried deep in his heart for many years.
"Many years ago, when I was still engaged in archaeological work, I went to the ancient ruins in the western part of the Australian desert to conduct archaeology."
"It was an underground palace buried by yellow sand. No one can tell which era the ruins came from. They only know that the ruins were built for a very long time. It was probably before human history. Everyone was very excited to dig...
"
"The night after the excavation work ended, I had a strange dream."
"In my dream, I seemed to have returned to an era when ruins were not called 'ruins'; at that time, there were a group of strange creatures with huge cone-like bodies, tentacles, hooks and other structures living in the ruins."
"They called themselves 'Yisians' and invited me to visit their city."
"During the visit, I learned about the origin of their race and some knowledge about other races in the universe..."
"One of the races is called 'Mi Go'."
Kudo Yusaku's words came to an abrupt end.
But the other three people standing here were still enjoying themselves, as if they were halfway peeing and were suddenly forced to hold it back.
Especially Qin Zhibo, he knows the Yi people!
Yishi people, a kind of spiritual life form that travels across the universe, can "seize" the bodies of other life forms, and has a good ability to "hack accounts".
Chiba Kazunobu, the policeman of the original world, was in a state where his account was hacked by the Yis, and he was looking around the world.
But if what Kudo Yusaku said is true, then there are also Yis people in this world!
Compared with Qin Zhibo's understanding, the two little brothers Conan and "Conan" couldn't understand what Yusaku Kudo was talking about at all.
Especially for "Conan", it doesn't matter if the stranger mentioned aliens just now, even his own father admitted that he had seen aliens in his dreams.
If it weren't for the difficulty of revealing his identity and relationship in front of outsiders, he would have shouted in front of others, "Dad, what's going on!", "Dad, my world view is shattered!"
At this time, Qin Zhibo pretended to be calm and nodded.
"I see, I understand the situation..."
"Actually, what those Yi people told you is true. I have investigated the ore field before, and all the soldiers there have been made into 'biochemical dolls'."
"This goes back to the original problem. If we want to solve this incident, we must cooperate."
Conan next to him glanced at Qin Zhibo and sighed secretly in his heart.
As expected of Uncle Qin, he was able to accept such an advanced concept as "Yis people" so quickly.
Kudo Yusaku was also slightly shocked that this strange experience was accepted so easily by the man in front of him.
Sure enough, he is not an ordinary person...
After thinking for a few seconds, Kudo Yusaku nodded and agreed: "Okay, we can cooperate."
"But there is another person here, I will take you to see him first."
…
Kudo Yusaku, "Conan", and the two masked people behind came out of the dark alley, looking a bit like they had just finished a parents' meeting, with their children.
Soon, the four of them found Qian XingXingYi who was still wandering in the market.
"Where have you been? I've been looking for..."
Koichi Zenagata's voice became lower and lower, and he saw two masked adults and children following Kudo Yusaku.
Kudo Yusaku turned sideways, "Let me introduce, this is..."
His words came to an abrupt end again, because just now Qin Zhibo only said that he was from a mysterious organization and did not mention his name.
"My name is Qin Zhibo, hello."
There is no "Qin Zhibo" in this world, and Qin Zhibo does not need to change his name to another one.
"Oh, hello, my name is Koichi Zenagata..."
Koichi Zenagata looked up and down at the strange man wearing a mask, and stretched out his right hand.
Qin Zhibo also stretched out his right hand and held it together.

——
Seeing this character panel, Qin Zhibo couldn't help but be shocked.
This ordinary square face has such high attributes on the character card?
And it is unimaginable that he is actually a Japanese policeman.
As a Japanese policeman, don't you feel ashamed when your personal attributes are so bad?
Especially with a physique of 100, he is simply not a normal person.
The short "Conan" is also trying to open up a new social circle of his own, taking the initiative to introduce himself to Conan.
"Kid, my name is Edogawa Conan, what's your name?"
Conan: "..."
Children...I am not a child!
The tone of "Conan" is a bit childish. It is obvious that he is used to being "superior" to children of the same age and treats Conan as an ordinary child.
Qin Zhibo lowered his head and saw this scene, and almost burst into laughter, but he quickly held back and explained to Conan who couldn't directly change his voice to speak.
"This kid doesn't want to talk, so just call him 'Kobe'...or 'Kebei'."
Everyone: "..."
This name sounds like it was made up from "Conan", and it's very confusing.
"Ke...Ke Bei, hello..."
Both Conan and "Conan" were speechless, but they could only accept it.
After all, there can only be one "Conan" in this world, just like there can only be one "Haonan" in Causeway Bay.
Everyone had met each other, and Qin Zhibo put forward his own opinions.
"Okay, our interests are the same, let's find a place to discuss strategies now?"
As for this issue, Qiangata Yuichi had thought about it last night, with a mysterious smile on his face, "Since we are discussing strategies, we definitely need a place with complete information..."
Kudo Yusaku turned his head and asked seriously: "Do you know a place like this?"
"Yes." Qian Xingxing nodded, "That is the secret stronghold of Lupine III."
"Based on what I know about Lupine III, he will definitely establish a stronghold near the target location before committing a crime against a target that is difficult to attack immediately."
"This time Lupine III's target is the Queen's crown. He must have already established a stronghold near the palace."
"We can have a 'dove occupying the magpie's nest'..."
Koichi Zenagata's words reminded Qin Zhibo of the "monkey" man who came to pick up Fujiko Mine and Mira that night.
That person is Lupine the Third.
"Well, this is a good idea, but how do we find that place?" Kudo Yusaku asked a practical question.
This question also stumped Qian Xingxing for a while.
If he could easily find Lupine III's stronghold, he wouldn't have been unable to easily capture Lupine for so many years.
But Qin Zhibo next to him remembered the airport luggage cart that Lupine III drove away that night.
If he drove the car to his base, there would be no other airport luggage carts in the capital city, and he might be able to "locate" the car's location.
