When he woke up from the dream and the two looked at each other, the muddy thoughts in Kuroba Kaito's brain suddenly became clear.
What just happened was not a dream!
At least it's not a completely illusory dream, but reality in another dimension!
The Qin Zhibo in the dream is really Qin Zhibo.
And Qin Zhibo called him - son!
In response, Qin Zhibo could only smile like a father and said kindly.
"What does my son want to eat in the morning? Uncle will buy it for you~"
…
At the breakfast table, Kuroba Kaito was still fuming.
Although Qin Zhibo had already explained to him that he had used Conan's other identity "Kudo Shinichi" without authorization, so he had to call both of them "sons" and could not favor one over the other.
Otherwise, the identities are unified but the titles are not unified, which will definitely arouse Conan's suspicion.
Is this an accidental injury?
"Kaito, you don't want your true identity to be exposed in front of Conan, do you?"
Click.
Qin Zhibo chewed a large radish root. Perhaps because the convenience store had just started cooking it, the radish was still crunchy and a little tasteless.
"snort……"
Kuroba Kaito was a little unconvinced, but he had to admit that Qin Zhibo's consideration was correct.
Although I don't understand why Conan can enter the dreamland so easily, he really shouldn't be allowed to discover that everything in front of him is real.
Otherwise, the secrets about the two generations of Kaito Kidd and the Stone of Life, Pandora, may be discovered by Conan.
But he didn't understand why Qin Zhibo recognized Conan as his son and why he happily accepted this identity?
"Isn't that kid's father a best-selling mystery writer named 'Yusaku Kudo'?"
"Oh~" Qin Zhibo showed off another boiled skewer, "That one is for kissing, and this one is for me."
"Godfather?"
"Roughly the same……"
"Um..." Kuroba Kaito groaned, gradually understanding the intricate relationships among the characters, so that he could disguise himself and steal gems in the future.
But what's the use?
The frequency of his stealing gems is now decreasing. If he didn't want to continue to maintain the popularity and create the illusion that "Pandora" has not yet been discovered, there is no need for him to steal gems.
"Master, it's almost time. This place is a bit far from Jianggutian Town. We have to leave early..."
At the reminder of Terai Kinosuke, Kuroba Kaito picked up a piece of bread on the table and stuffed it into his mouth, picked up his portable school bag, and rushed out of the room.
After a second, he poked his head back from the edge of the door frame.
“Come back tonight and continue!”
Kuroba Kaito has now been completely attracted by the situation in the dreamland, especially the painting on the wall of the shrine in Usa Town.
The magician who conjured roses had an aura about him that seemed familiar to him.
Tonight, he would ask clearly.
…
As Kaito Kuroba and Kinosuke Terai returned to school and work in Ekoda Town, Qin Zhibo experienced a rare period of silence.
I habitually turn on the TV and watch the "Morning News".
But as soon as I turned on the TV, Reina Mizuno, who was wearing a smart professional attire on the screen, was already saying goodbye to the audience, and the program had just finished broadcasting.
Alas, it seems that I haven’t watched TV for a while and I don’t control my time very well.
Qin Zhibo turned off the TV and was thinking about when Shui Wu Liannai would reply to him.
It has been a few days since the last time I sent a letter to Reina Mizuno's TV station in the name of a fan.
This is the contact method agreed between the two. One party sends a letter and the other party chooses a time to contact them.
The letter should have been received long ago.
There has been no reply for so long. Are you being monitored too closely?
In addition to Shui Wu Lina, Qin Zhibo also contacted the Green Delta organization.
The Kingdom of Vespania in this world may have been infiltrated, and I don't have time to take care of it myself, so it's better to entrust it to an organization.
When Qin Zhibo reported this matter to Green Delta, the organization unexpectedly took it very seriously and proposed to send a commissioner to Japan to contact him without providing any evidence.
According to the organizational regulations of Green Delta, the members of the organization are divided into three units and are distinguished by the first letter of the code name.
Rena Minami's father's code name is Ethan, and he is a member of Unit E. He is also working with two other members.
Reina Minami was just a temporary CIA supporter before. She did not belong to the Green Delta organization, and she did not know that her father was working for this secret organization hidden in various departments in the United States.
When he was in the United States, when Qin Zhibo met with Alfonso from Unit A, his request was not to fully join the Green Delta organization, nor to rebuild a new Group E.
Did the organization send people here this time to take advantage of this opportunity to establish a new E group?
Just as Qin Zhibo was thinking, the phone suddenly rang.
jingle……
Qin Zhibo put down the piece of toast in his hand, wiped his hands with a tissue, and picked up the phone.
"Hello?"
"I'm Keir. I have an afternoon tea time from 1 to 1:30 this afternoon. We will meet at the Blue Wave Cafe near the TV station."
Qin Zhibo was surprised to find that it was Shui Wu Liannai's call.
It can also be said to be the fake wine "Kiel" within the organization.
"receive."
Toot toot…
The phone was hung up, and the hurried conversation showed Shui Wulian's caution.
Unexpectedly, Shui Wu Lina belonged to Cao Cao. As soon as he mentioned her, she called.
We meet in the afternoon, only half an hour...
Qin Zhibo thought for a moment and decided to contact another member who needed to meet in the near future.
He took the time to finish the rest of his breakfast, dispose of the garbage, go to his office on the second floor, and turn on his computer.
I haven't turned on the computer for a while, and it's a bit slow to start up.
After waiting for more than a minute, the computer slowly turned on, and the blue sky and green grassland appeared in front of me.
This is the most classic Windows system wallpaper. Except for being a little dazzling, everything else is good.
Qin Zhibo opened the email and sent a message to the secret commissioner of Green Delta.
[12:30, meet at the Blue Wave Cafe near Nippon TV Station]
After sending it out, Qin Zhibo didn't care whether the other party received it or not, he quit directly and started playing Spider Solitaire.
…
At noon, Qin Zhibo was outside, returning the lost pet he had just found to its owner.
"Oh! My little baby! You are finally back!"
The hostess of this house hugged her dog and kissed her wildly, expressing her joy after losing it.
Qin Zhibo saw it and moved his lips, wanting to say something, but he still held back.
In fact, when he found the beagle in the park, the dog was probably hungry and was picking up rubbish from a trash can that had been kicked down by someone.
On the way back, maybe because I felt that I would be able to rely on the power of others in the future and not have to worry about my livelihood, I went to the telephone pole on the roadside and licked some dog urine.
"Madam, please settle the entrustment fee. I have other things to do later."
"Oh! Of course..."
The wife took the dog back, and soon took out two 10,000-yen bills and handed them to Qin Zhibo's hand.
"You are more efficient in finding pets...but the day before yesterday, when I went to the office to look for you, you were not at the office."
Although Qin Zhibo is quick to find pets, he is often not in the office, causing the owners of lost pets to be scratching their heads.
This is not a search for a lost pet, but a search for the missing Qin Zhibo.
In contrast, Qin Zhibo could only smile politely, "Sorry, after all, I can't really rely on finding pets to run my business, can I?"
"That's what you said..."
"Goodbye then, ma'am."
Qin Zhibo said goodbye to his wife, took a taxi and went straight to Rimai TV Station.
When we arrived at the agreed-upon Rambo Cafe, it was already 12:29.
Although it is not considered late, it may leave a bad impression on people you meet for the first time, and you will also lose some opportunities.
In order not to be disturbed by irrelevant people around him because of his title of "famous detective", Qin Zhibo first put on the human skin mask he had prepared in advance, and then stepped into the coffee shop.
It was still lunch time, and there were not many people in the cafe, only 4 or 5 people.
These people were all sitting separately, but one of them immediately attracted Qin Zhibo's attention.
This man was dressed in a suit and leather shoes, with neat 37-part blond hair and an angular face. He was sitting by the window, sipping the coffee at hand and checking the laptop on the table.
A foreigner in a Japanese cafe always attracts attention.
Not to mention such an elegant man in a suit.
Qin Zhibo glanced slightly at the top of the man's head and obtained the basic identity information.
Name:Meilun
Gender: Gunship
Age:34
Occupation: Unemployed
Social Credit:1000
…
Gender gunship?
Forehead……
This is the first time Qin Zhibo has seen gender other than "male" and "female" in his investigation.
At this moment, the blond man at the table took the initiative to chat.
"Come over and share a table?"
The man stretched out his hand to indicate the position opposite, with a kind smile on his face.
Qin Zhibo did not answer and sat silently opposite the man.
After he sat down, the man took the initiative.
"Although you have changed your appearance, you may want to avoid any unnecessary trouble caused by our meeting."
"But you must be the famous detective who met me..."
The man stretched out his right hand.
However, Qin Zhibo took one look and his interest in shaking hands with him instantly dropped a lot.
This man was wearing black leather gloves with the back of his hand exposed. The workmanship was excellent and they were completely customized to fit the shape of his hand.
However, out of politeness, Qin Zhibo still expressed it with his right hand wearing a white glove.
"I was just browsing through the many cases you have solved. I am very grateful that I have the opportunity to cooperate with such a wise person as you."
"Let me introduce myself. My name is Mei Lun. I am the contact person assigned by the organization."
"Hello." Qin Zhibo replied calmly.
"Can you please have something to drink? I'm treating you." Mei Lun said.
"No need, let's get straight to the point."
"You seem a little anxious..." Mei Lun smiled, "But it's understandable. After all, you are a detective, and time is very important to you."
"There is a famous saying, Time is money, right?"
Qin Zhibo silently stared at the man in front of him, feeling more and more that this man was not simple.
Custom-made leather gloves are made to avoid leaving fingerprints. This kind of vigilance is rare.
Secondly, this person can tell at a glance that he is wearing a human skin mask, which shows that he at least has some understanding of the art of disguise.
However, I don't want to have too many interactions with this person. Since he is a contact person, I can just tell him the situation I have.
The exchange policy was set, and Qin Zhibo immediately followed suit.
"The invisible ore in the Kingdom of Vespania may be coveted by aliens. Duke Kilard of the kingdom may assassinate the queen and prince during the cherry blossom season, thereby gaining control of the country so that he can further mine the ore.
"
Mei Lun did not answer immediately, but pondered for a moment and then said: "Can I ask the source of this information?"
"I'm sorry to tell you the source of the intelligence. I'm just providing an investigation direction. As for the specific details of these things and the stage of the conspiracy, you still need to send your own people to confirm."
Of course, Qin Zhibo couldn't tell the man in front of him that the source of the information was from a parallel world.
And everything in the parallel world may not be completely copied to this world.
But when Mei Lun heard Qin Zhibo's uncertain information, he didn't show any distrust in his eyes, and he didn't even show any surprise when he heard "alien".
"Actually, we have already noticed the intelligence you mentioned. We received intelligence earlier that the 'Grey Forces' have entered Vespania, and their purpose should be those newly discovered ores."
"But they will come into contact with Kilard, which is indeed an unprecedented new situation..."
"Wait a moment."
Qin Zhibo interrupted him, "What is the 'Grey Army' you are talking about?"
"Oh?" Mei Lun looked a little surprised, "You have obtained this information, but you don't know what the 'Grey Army' is?"
"The Gray Troops are the aliens you call them. They are highly intelligent aliens that can imitate humans."
"There is a department within the United States that specializes in cooperating with aliens, called "MJ-12." They have formed an alliance with the Grays, and the two parties have been secretly cooperating for decades."
Mei Lun's words reminded Qin Zhibo of the time when the person who assisted in the assassination of the troops at the Queen's coronation parade in the parallel world was an American official.
If this officer was actually from MJ-12, could it be that the mastermind behind that operation was MJ-12 and had nothing to do with the black organization?
Or the situation is worse, and the black organization has infiltrated MJ-12.
Penetrating into MJ-12 is almost equivalent to penetrating into the United States.
"Then what's your position?"
"Since your government is behind the Grays, will you still stop them?"
Hearing Qin Zhibo's question, Mei Lun burst out laughing.
"Ha...it's not you, it's us."
"Our goal at Green Delta is to ensure that our people are protected from all supernatural threats, regardless of who is behind them."
"Since the organization sent me here, I naturally want to actively handle this incident."
"And the information you provided is of great reference value. We will use this as a clue to investigate..."
