Seeing the watch lying in the box, Cheng Shi was startled and her expression was stunned.
Qin Zhibo bought this in the luxury store at the airport when he was waiting for his flight back to Japan from Heathrow Airport.
I originally wanted to buy a men's watch, but after looking around at the counter, I found that the diameter of men's watches are all too large, which is not suitable for slim people. The watch is too heavy and uncomfortable to wear while working.
Of course, in addition to being smaller in diameter than men's watches, this watch has a diameter of 34mm and is rather neutral in terms of color and style.
"What? Don't you like it?" Qin Zhibo asked tentatively.
"without……"
Chengshi lowered his head, his neat ponytail swaying slightly.
Immediately, he raised his head, and tears rolled down the cheeks with a bright smile in the corners of his eyes, like crystal clear water droplets lingering on young leaves after the rain.
"I love so much!"
"This is the best gift I've ever received!"
…
In the evening, Qin Zhibo did not return to the detective agency and stayed at Cheng Shi's house.
After dinner, he and Cheng Shi chatted a lot.
Especially the "rogue planet" and the doomsday theory of the earth that have aroused huge discussion around the world not long ago.
But this is strange to say.
With the departure of the "wandering planet", almost no one talks about it anymore.
Everything has returned to normal.
But even when he thought back to the situation at that time, Chengshi still felt that it was unreal.
"At that time, many people were rumoring that the end was coming soon, and every household was hoarding supplies, including food, drink, tools, etc."
"But Xiao Ai said that if it really is the end of the world, there is no possibility for human beings to survive. It would be better to simply die from the beginning..."
"So I didn't buy many supplies at home."
"Looking back now, I really feel a little sad!"
"It's just that in the past few days, the food in the homes of my patients has been exhausted, so they have all been sent to me..."
Cheng Yong recalled the previous events in a tone of telling anecdotes.
Qin Zhibo smiled slightly, thinking that this was what Hui Yuan Ai would say.
"By the way, you're just here to talk about me. Mr. Qin, how are you doing in the UK?" Cheng Shi asked.
"I..." Qin Zhibo pursed his upper and lower lips and thought for two seconds.
"Okay, everything is going well."
"I originally planned to come back early, but because of that planet, the flights were grounded."
"I rested in the hotel for a few days and then came back after flights resumed."
Qin Zhibo did not tell Chengshi what happened during that time in the UK.
After all, those things are difficult for ordinary people to understand, let alone Cheng Shi's willpower is only 40, so there is no need to use those things to stimulate him.
But Chengshi looked at Qin Zhibo, with a subtle strangeness flashing in his eyes.
Although Qin Zhibo said that he stayed in the hotel for a few days and flew back after flights resumed.
But Narumi knew that Conan and Dr. Ari would be back two days earlier, which meant that flights to Japan had actually resumed long ago.
Qin Zhibo stayed in the UK for two more days, probably to complete something.
And he speculated that it might be related to Akai Shuichi who suddenly disappeared from Kudo's house.
Akai Shuichi was originally recovering well at Kudo's house, but he suddenly disappeared yesterday.
Toru Amuro called and asked Narimi if he had seen him before, so Narimi also knew that Shuichi Akai had disappeared.
Just out of trust in the person in front of him, Chengshi didn't ask what was going on.
At this moment, grand music suddenly sounded from the TV in the living room.
"Qiang Qiang..."
"In everyone's heart, there is a yearning for the ocean."
"Traveling on a cruise ship and looking at the boundless blue Pacific Ocean will be a unique experience in your life."
"Yatsudai Passenger Ship, as the leader of Japan's cruise tourism industry, has been adhering to the continuous pursuit of high-end quality and rigorous and meticulous service attitude for thirty years, and is determined to build Asia's first cruise tourism brand."
"The 'Aphrodite', as the most high-end masterpiece of the eighth-generation passenger ship brand, will make its maiden voyage on April 9..."
An advertisement for a cruise ship appeared on TV.
Following the voice introduction of the narrator, a beautiful white luxury cruise ship sailed on the blue sea.
Chengshi watched the cruise ship on TV, his eyes gradually lost in thought.
"What's wrong? Do you want to go up and take a look?" Qin Zhibo asked.
"Um……"
Chengshi's voice was very soft.
Qin Zhibo nodded in understanding, then took out his mobile phone, searched for the Avrodi number on the Internet, and found relevant content.
"The sailing route is a round trip from Yokohama, and the duration is three days and three nights..."
"If there's no problem with time, then go ahead."
Hearing Qin Zhibo's words, Chengshi, who was still looking at the cruise ship advertisement next to him, was stunned. He quickly turned around and said, "No! I was just talking casually~"
Qin Zhibo smiled slightly, "It's okay, I just want to relax."
"As a patient, it doesn't matter if you rest for a few days. Since you moved to Tokyo, haven't you had much rest?"
Since Cheng Shi left Moon Shadow Island and opened this private hospital in Tokyo, she has been busier than when she was on Moon Shadow Island.
There is almost no time to rest. The most I can do is take some time to walk around in the evening.
It’s rare that there is a place that I want to visit this time, so naturally I don’t want to miss it.
And Qin Zhibo himself also wanted to relax.
Although I went to London before, all the time I spent in London was on business. I wanted to be broken in half and had no time to travel at all.
In addition, the conspiracy of the Beast Brotherhood was successfully prevented, which can be regarded as a staged victory. It is reasonable to change the mood appropriately.
It just feels a little strange to travel alone.
It just so happened that Chengshi also had this idea this time.
In addition, he also wanted to test whether he had overcome the problem of falling into the weak sea.
Especially the waters of the Pacific Ocean...
After listening to Qin Zhibo's suggestion, Cheng Shi still hesitated.
"But……"
"Nothing to worry about, I just decided happily!"
…
The next day.
Qin Zhibo left Chengshi Hospital early in the morning and drove to Nagano Prefecture.
Just last night, he had successfully contacted the mysterious Kuroda Bei through the contact information given by Haneda Yasuharu.
In the text message, the two parties agreed to meet in detail at the Kawanakajima ancient battlefield ruins in Nagano Prefecture this morning.
Qin Zhibo didn't know much about Japanese history.
I searched this place name on the Internet, and it probably refers to the fact that there were two villages in the past, and the village chiefs were named Uesugi Kenshin and Takeda Shingen.
The two villages had some disputes over land issues.
Later, under the leadership of the village chiefs of both sides, a fight took place in what is now Nagano Prefecture, and many people died.
The place where they fought with each other has become the current ancient battlefield.
…
At 9 o'clock in the morning, Qin Zhibo arrived at the agreed place.
The ruins of the ancient battlefield of Kawanakajima cover a large area, and Kuroda Hei did not say the specific location, but said that he would contact him after he got to the place.
So, Qin Zhibo took out his mobile phone and sent a text message to Kuroda Hei that he had arrived, and then started walking around the area alone.
This ancient battlefield, which once flowed with blood, has now been developed into a park with tourist attractions.
A river divides the entire park into two.
Half of it is an ordinary park, and the other side is the site of the ancient battlefield ruins.
Since today is a working day, there are not many tourists in the park.
Sculptures of Japanese generals from the Warring States Period can be seen everywhere in the park, as well as tablets introducing the lives of relevant figures and historical events.
It's just that Qin Zhibo has no interest in these things and just takes a quick look at them to pass the time.
Just when Qin Zhibo stood in a daze in front of the sculptures of the two protagonists of "Village Fight" - Takeda Shingen and Uesugi Kenshin, other people's voices came from behind.
"But then again, Yamato, have you really never been here before?"
"Um."
"But obviously this place is so famous and it is a place that no one from Nagano Prefecture can miss..."
"Maybe...but I have never been here except for passing by the bridge in the park during my morning exercise."
The voices speaking were that of a man and a woman.
The woman's voice is relatively normal, with a hint of informal coquettish tone between lovers.
The man's voice was quite gloomy. Just by listening to this voice, Qin Zhibo could probably guess what kind of person he would look like.
But when Qin Zhibo turned around and looked back, he couldn't help but be shocked by the man's appearance.
The man who made the gloomy voice looked a bit sinister at first glance, with dark skin, a large "X" shaped scar on his left eye, a stubble on his chin, and a short ponytail on the back of his head.
.
Although he has a burly and good figure, the crutch on his left hand makes this burly somewhat compromised.
Beside and behind the vicious man were a gentle woman with braided hair and an elegant man with a mustache.
they are……
Qin Zhibo glanced at the heads of the three people and saw their basic information.
Yamato dared to help, Uehara Yuyi, and all the masters were clever.
The identities of the three people are all police officers.
Since it was Qin Zhibo's first time in Nagano Prefecture, he was very unfamiliar with these three faces.
But what are the police doing here?
Did a case happen here?
Qin Zhibo quickly glanced around and found no clues about the case.
While Qin Zhibo was thinking, Zhu Fu Gaoming, who was standing behind the trio, was also looking at the man in brown trench coat standing silently in front of the statue.
that person……
Zhu Fu Gaoming saw the moment when the man in the trench coat turned back, and remembered his appearance. He felt that he looked very similar to a famous detective who often appeared in newspapers recently.
Just when he wanted to step forward to say hello and verify whether his guess was correct, a voice came from the entrance behind him.
"Yamato!"
"What are you doing in this place?"
Yamato and the other three looked back and saw the same trio.
The three of them are all different in height, short, fat and thin. The only thing they have in common is that they all dress more formally, wearing suits and ties.
Qin Zhibo, who heard the sound, also turned around and glanced, and at a glance he could see clearly that the three new people were also police officers.
So many police?
Could it be that Kuroda Biewei called here?
Yamato Gansuke looked at his three colleagues without a good expression on his face, and still looked at them coldly.
A fat policeman with a curly hair in the other trio didn't pay attention. He smiled and joked: "Could it be that he and his childhood sweetheart were secretly dating here while on duty?"
Upon hearing this, the policewoman named Yui Uehara blushed and quickly waved her hands in denial.
"No, that's not the case..."
"It's just that Officer Yamato said he had never been here before, so he stopped by..."
At this moment, Zhufu Gaoming interrupted Uehara Yui's words and asked: "Mr. Saegusa, why are you here?"
The fat policeman put his hands in his pockets, "A few of us were appointed to go to the hideout of a wanted robber, so we thought we would come here to pay homage to Lord Shingen before setting off."
"We are not here to fish and be lazy. After all, not everyone is Youchuan..."
As he said that, the fat policeman turned back and glanced at his companion with a pouty mouth behind him.
However, the policeman who was insinuated that he liked fishing refuted that his surname was no longer Yurakawa, but his mother's surname, Akiyama.
At this time, the thin policeman in the trio who had been silent until now glanced around and asked Yamato and others.
"By the way, have you seen our team leader?"
"Team leader? You mean Mr. Takeda, right?" Yui Uehara asked.
The thin policeman wearing glasses responded and explained: "We all agreed to meet here before, but now I can't see him anywhere, and I can't even get through on my mobile phone..."
Yamato Gansuke took a step forward with a crutch, "Is it possible that the time was mistaken? After all, the father is also getting old."
"That's right..." the pouty policeman agreed.
"Then let's look elsewhere."
After the fat policeman finished speaking, he turned around and left with the other two people.
But just when they were about to leave, Yamato Kansuke stopped them again.
"By the way, if you find Father Zhutian, tell him for me..."
"Even if there are orders from people sent from above, I will never agree to my death if you ask me to return to your group!"
"Okay, I will convey your words to Takeda."
"But I think you are very suitable to be in our group. It's a pity..."
The fat policeman and the skinny policeman looked at Yamato Gansuke's tough attitude, responded lightly, and left angrily.
As Zhu Fu Gaoming watched the three people leaving, he thought of the famous detective he had just seen.
But when he looked back, the man in brown trench coat who had been standing in front of the sculpture had disappeared.
…
Before the two groups of police officers could finish their conversation, Qin Zhibo left first.
Because Kuroda Hei has sent a text message saying that he has arrived at the place where Yamamoto Kansuke died in the last battle.
When Qin Zhibo arrived at the location, he saw a tall and burly figure standing in front of a gray-black stone tablet.
