At the corner of Baker Street, in front of the Sherlock Holmes statue.
Qin Zhibo stood in front of the woman, and both of them were sizing each other up.
Judging from the appearance, the woman's frame is relatively large, her figure is hidden in the brown coat, and her short light blond hair is exposed from under the brim of the hat.
Above the nose pads in the middle of the glasses, there is a very distinctive bunch of thread-shaped curls.
Through her brown sunglasses, you can see that the corners of her eyes are slightly raised, which makes Shuichi Akai look a lot like her.
And his sharp, cold eyes are similar to those of Shuichi Akai.
This person should be Akai Marie...
Judging from the relationship between the original owner and her, this should be considered his sister-in-law.
However, it seems that the two of them have not seen each other for many years. It is indeed a bit awkward to meet unexpectedly.
If you say something wrong, it may arouse the other party's suspicion.
So now it's best to wait until the other person speaks first, and then answer it yourself...
Qin Zhibo was thinking about it when the woman slowly put the camera in her coat pocket and asked straight to the point.
"So? What did you want to say when you called me over?"
"What happened to Shuichi Akai?"
Call by name?
Hearing this cold title, Qin Zhibo was a little surprised, but he soon recovered his mood.
"Shuichi had something happen to him during his latest mission. Although his body was not seriously damaged, his brain... lost his memory."
Mary's eyelids trembled slightly, and after three seconds of silence she asked, "How much is the amnesia?"
Qin Zhibo replied in a deep voice: "Except for basic common sense and survival skills, he can't remember his identity or past experiences."
"The doctor said that the hope of cure is very slim, but if you meet your family, maybe you can remember part of the memory deep in your brain..."
Before Qin Zhibo could finish his words, Mary, who lowered her head slightly, suddenly asked: "What mission did he lose his memory for?"
"Is it about his father?"
Qin Zhibo frowned slightly, remembering what Akai Shuichi said to him the night before the operation to capture Gin.
He joined the FBI many years ago with the purpose of bringing back his father Akai Takeshi.
17 years ago, Akai Mutake offended a powerful figure while investigating the case of Haneda Koji, and had to flee.
After being on the run for a while, he suddenly disappeared in the United States and has not been heard from since.
Therefore, Shuichi Akai joined the FBI, hoping to find his father through his own power.
Because deep down in his heart, he never thought that his father would die so easily.
Because Qin Zhibo was talking to Akai Shuichi as Akai Muwu that night, he revealed a lot of things.
Including his ability to successfully obtain a US green card and join the FBI, it was all with the help of the original owner "Vince Qin".
However, Vince Qin always kept silent about the news about his father, Akai Mutake.
This has always made Shuichi Akai and Vince Chin suspicious.
It was also that night that Qin Zhibo learned Akai Shuichi's inner thoughts for the first time.
It's a pity that Qin Zhibo himself doesn't know what the original owner "Vince Qin" hid from Akai Shuichi regarding Akai's military affairs.
Now, this woman named Akai Marie asked about Akai Wuwu again, so Qin Zhibo had to be on guard.
If Shuichi Akai told Mary about his suspicions, then his current situation would not be safe.
Because Mary’s right hand has never been taken out since she put it in her coat pocket...
"That's right..."
"Seventeen years ago, Wu Wu had to flee because he offended a big shot, and finally disappeared suddenly in the United States."
"Actually, that big shot controls a very large organization, and Shuichi Akai has been fighting against that organization for many years after entering the FBI."
"Some time ago, Shuichi suffered some head injuries during a confrontation with an organization cadre, which resulted in amnesia."
"Currently, he is recuperating secretly under my arrangement. He is under the care of a dedicated person and is very safe."
"But for the sake of his future, I asked for your contact information from Kang Qing, and traveled thousands of miles to come to England..."
Qin Zhibo once again didn't finish his words when Mary suddenly interrupted.
"You are lying."
"Eh?" Qin Zhibo was startled.
Suddenly something that looked like the muzzle of a gun protruded from Mary's right pocket, and it was aimed at Qin Zhibo, who was standing opposite.
"You have been a private detective in Japan for a long time. How can you still be involved in FBI tasks?"
"who are you?"
Mary gritted her teeth and looked at the man in front of her.
Qin Zhibo also had a stunned expression, with some incredulity in his eyes.
This woman is actually so sharp, and she even carries a pistol with her...
Although it was previously known that Akai Taketake was MI6, there was very little information about his wife Mary.
"I can explain this..."
Facing the invisible gun pointed at him, Qin Zhibo stabilized his mind and said calmly: "Actually, the FBI is not the only one investigating that organization. I am also secretly investigating them in Japan."
"Five years ago, Shuichi ended up undercover in that organization because of a mission from the FBI."
"At that time, he didn't know that the organization he was working as an undercover agent was responsible for the disappearance of Akai Mutake and was also the murderer of the Haneda Koji case."
"Some time ago, he came to Japan to pursue members of the organization. The target happened to live not far from my detective agency, so he needed some assistance from me,"
"It happened that I was also investigating that organization, so I joined forces with him personally."
"It's just that an accident occurred during the mission, which caused him to lose his memory..."
Qin Zhibo was not sure whether Mary could understand what he was explaining, because this series of events was quite complicated.
This part of the content alone is already an abbreviated version.
If it were more detailed and included the Nine Angels organization, Japanese police, and Kaitou Kidd, it would be even harder to explain clearly.
"Anyway, Shuichi is currently recuperating somewhere in Japan."
"If you want to go to Japan to see him, you can contact my detective agency in Japan. Just go to Mihua Town in Tokyo and ask about it. It's called Zhibo Detective Agency."
"If I haven't returned to Japan yet, you can leave a letter in the mailbox at the door of the detective agency, and someone will naturally contact you then."
"Okay, if there's nothing else, I'll leave first..."
Qin Zhibo didn't want to get too entangled with this woman who carried a gun. His mission this time was just to spread the word. It was Mary's freedom to go and see her son.
Before he left Japan, he had arranged for Toru Amuro to check the detective agency's mailbox regularly. If he found a letter from Mari, he would take her to see Shuichi Akai.
Qin Zhibo turned around and left. As soon as he walked three meters away, Akai Marie suddenly called out to him.
"Wait a moment."
Qin Zhibo stopped and looked back, "Is there anything else?"
Mary took her right hand out of her pocket, took two steps closer and said, "I'm sorry that I doubted you just now. My daughter and I have been living on tenterhooks all these years. Please forgive me for this..."
"I understand you completely." Qin Zhibo turned around and raised the corners of his mouth slightly, "Someone who has not been in contact with you for many years suddenly comes to see you. Everyone will be more vigilant."
"But it's really rare to see someone carry that thing with them to alert others..."
Mary smiled and put her right hand into her pocket again, but what she pulled out was a lighter.
She put the lighter back into her pocket, and then asked solemnly: "Can you tell me more about the organization you mentioned?"
Upon hearing this request, Qin Zhibo looked a little embarrassed.
It's not that the organization's information cannot be leaked, but this place is too close to the Sherlock Holmes Museum. If you stay for a long time, you may be discovered by Conan and his party.
It would be fine if Conan misunderstood him for having a cross-border relationship, but if it was discovered that he was here to do business, it would be difficult to explain.
"Yes, yes, but this doesn't seem to be the place to talk, right?"
There are many tourists on the streets of Baker Street, and the flow of people is frequent. It is really not suitable for discussing serious business.
Mary nodded in understanding and then said: "Then let's go to the hotel where my daughter and I are staying."
"Just in time to let her see what her father's old friend looks like..."
As Mary spoke, she took out the phone from her coat pocket and dialed the number.
Looking at Qin Zhibo's puzzled eyes, Mary explained: "My daughter is also in Baker Street now. I'm calling her to go back with her..."
"oh."
Qin Zhibo nodded understandingly.
…
Baker Street, in front of the Sherlock Holmes Museum.
"Because I am a disciple of Sherlock Holmes!"
"Classmate Glass~"
Conan raised a finger and pointed at the boy in front of him with a playful look.
The boy's expression was startled, and he was stunned on the spot.
"How do you know my name?"
"Do you know who I am?"
Conan's eyebrows were slightly raised, and the raised corners of his mouth formed a confident smile, "This is just a very simple reasoning..."
"First of all, there is white liquid and powder on your lips. It should be fresh cream and powdered sugar on the strawberries, right?"
"And the cup you are holding contains lime, cucumber, and mint. This should be a drink called Pimm's. You are a child, so you didn't put any wine in it. It should only have lemonade in it, right?"
The boy picked up the drink cup in his hand, looked at it, and nodded, "I asked the clerk to mix this for me..."
Conan smiled slightly and continued to reason, "Speaking of sports where you can watch the game with Pimm's and strawberries at the same time, it must be Wimbledon."
"Today is the semi-finals of the women's singles. The first match starts at around 1pm, but now it's already after 2pm..."
"So your sister can only participate in the second game. One of the contestants is Wang Haili, whose parents are Chinese..."
"But judging from your appearance, you really have nothing to do with being Asian, so the other player in the second game, the world's number one lawn queen - Mineba Glass is your sister.
"
"And you can vaguely see your Wimbledon VIP room pass in your jacket pocket."
With that said, Conan reached out and pulled out the short rope hanging from the boy's jacket pocket, with a green sign tied underneath.
"awesome!"
"Are you really a disciple of Sherlock Holmes?!"
Being praised by the boy named Glass, Conan looked slightly proud.
But at this moment, a few crisp claps appeared from the corner of the street two meters ahead.
Bang, bang, bang...
Conan and Glass focused their attention on the direction of the sound, and saw a man wearing a dark brown jacket and hat walking out of the shadows.
"What a wonderful reasoning~"
Conan looked startled. When did this person eavesdrop here? Why didn't he notice it?
When the other party came closer, Conan saw his appearance from under the deliberately lowered brim of his hat.
This is a boy with some dark circles under his eyes. His thin black hair is scattered on his forehead. His face is not tough, but he is also handsome.
He walked up to Conan with a smile on his face, bent down and said, "Your reasoning was really good just now~"
"Actually, I am also a Sherlock Holmes fan. It can be said that I am obsessed with it!"
"You just said that you are a disciple of Sherlock Holmes, which interests me very much... Can I know your name?"
Conan stared blankly at the suspicious man in front of him, especially the pair of tiger teeth exposed in his mouth when he smiled, as if he had seen it somewhere before...
But when he said that he was a disciple of Sherlock Holmes, he just said it casually to fool children. This man couldn't possibly take it seriously, could he?
After all, Sherlock Holmes is a fictional character, and adults all over the world know it.
"Well, that..."
Just when Conan was about to get rid of this suspicious man who took the initiative to strike up a conversation, Mao Lilan and others came out of the Sherlock Holmes Museum.
Just now, Maori Lan and Kudo Shinichi went to call Maori Kogoro and Dr. Agasa, and now the four of them came out together.
Mao Lilan turned around and saw the man bending in front of Conan.
"Conan?"
"What's wrong?"
Mao Lilan walked over first, followed by "Kudo Shinichi", Maori Kogoro, and Dr. Ali.
The bent man raised his head and looked stunned when he saw Mao Lilan walking first.
It was the girl at that time...
Mao Lilan also saw the strangeness in the other person's expression, and subconsciously thought that there was something strange on her face, so she quickly turned around and asked the person next to her.
"Shinichi, is there something on my face?"
Kuroba Kaito looked at this face that was similar to Nakamori Aoko and shook his head, "No..."
However, at this moment, the man who was standing in front of Conan suddenly showed a surprised expression and shouted happily: "Shinichi!"
He walked over directly and grabbed Kuroba Kaito's hand.
"Haha! I didn't expect to meet you here!"
"What a coincidence!"
Kuroba Kaito looked at the man holding his hand in surprise, his eyes full of confusion.
Oops, is it some friend of Kudo Shinichi's?
But……
When Mao Lilan saw this scene, he also asked strangely: "Xinyi, is this your friend?"
"Ah I……"
Kuroba Kaito quickly turned his attention to the short Conan. He must not know this character, so he could only ask for help from the real Kudo Shinichi.
However, Conan, who was standing low, also looked confused.
