Chapter 1381 Detective Koshien? The organization’s trap?
Escorted by the Suzuki team, everyone was quickly sent back to their homes in Tokyo.
Before leaving, Suzuki Sonoko counted the number of people riding the mysterious train, and after a few days, he sent someone to deliver the passes for boarding the train.
Except for Qin Zhibo and Cheng Shi, everyone else signed up for the next train trip.
At the entrance of Chengshi Hospital, Qin Zhibo, Haihara Ai, Dr. A Li, and Chengshi got off the car together.
Haibara Ai was still a little worried about Cheng Shi's physical condition. With the help of Dr. Ali, she re-examined using the medical equipment available in the clinic.
The test results were the same as on the ship. He was still anemic and needed to take some blood-replenishing medicine and rest.
"The hospital will not be open for the next few days. Your current task is to lie in bed and rest."
"I will tell the Yantian nurse not to come to work during this period..."
Haiyuan Ai, wearing a small white coat, stood beside the hospital bed, wearing a green mask and speaking in a calm tone, resembling a young doctor.
There was not much color on Chengshi's face lying on the hospital bed, "Xiao Ai, actually there is no need to go to such trouble..."
"Anemia is just an old problem from childhood. All I need to do is take some medicine."
"Dah ah."
As soon as Chengshi's words came out of her mouth, she was rejected even more harshly by Haihara Ai.
"Since it is an old problem, we must be more vigilant, otherwise it will become more and more serious."
"Of course, I will come over to see you every day. Don't try to get away with it!"
The way Haihara Ai treats Cheng Shi is like a hard-working older sister scolding her younger sister who always gets into trouble.
This made Dr. Ali, who was holding back, dumbfounded.
Do you know how I got here during this time?
…
After Dr. Ali and Haihara Ai left, Qin Zhibo went to a nearby supermarket to buy some blood-enhancing ingredients.
What about lychees, pork liver, red dates, brown sugar, black beans, etc.
Using these vegetables and fruits, Qin Zhibo made a sick meal and served it to Cheng Shi's bedside.
Although Chengshi can now move on the ground, as long as the range of movement is too large or the time is slightly longer, it can easily cause dizziness.
Qin Zhibo sat by the bed, watching Chengshi pick up the spoon and chopsticks, and then asked after a moment.
"Is this really a disease you had when you were a child?"
"Yeah." Cheng Shi nodded, "I have been weak since I was a child, and my condition did not improve until I was 10 years old."
"So I've long been used to living like this lying in bed, waiting for others to take care of me..."
There was a smile on Chengshi's lips because she didn't want people to worry.
But for Qin Zhibo, it is impossible not to worry.
Although she looks normal now, it is not a gender change through ordinary means.
Although the power of the Mother Goddess is powerful, she only cares about production and not after-sales.
If it leaves permanent defects on the body, it will be troublesome...
Just as Qin Zhibo was thinking about how to express his worries tactfully, Chengshi suddenly put down the spoon in his hand.
"I also know what changes have happened to me..."
"Maybe it was God who answered my prayers at the last moment and allowed me to complete this transformation."
"So no matter what difficulties I face in the future, I will not blame anyone..."
"And compared to those who are missing, am I not already the lucky one?"
Cheng Shi still doesn’t know that the “missing” crew members are the culprits of all this.
Qin Zhibo looked more beautiful than before, even his voice had changed a bit, and there was a hint of complexity in his eyes.
Immediately, the complicated look dissipated and was replaced by a faint smile.
"I congratulate you..."
"Congratulations on starting a new life."
…
The next day.
Qin Zhibo made breakfast and helped Cheng Shi to the dining table.
While the two were eating, Qin Zhibo's phone rang.
On the other side of the phone was a young boy's voice that was full of energy, but if you listened carefully, it had a faint girlish flavor to it.
"Hello~Uncle~"
"Who are you……"
"Why did you forget my voice so quickly? I'm Sera!"
"Shi...liang?"
Qin Zhibo deliberately lengthened his voice and pretended not to remember.
This made Sera Masumi on the other side embarrassed, and he yelled into the phone: "Uncle! You haven't really forgotten me, have you?"
"I am Sera Majun!"
Qin Zhibo laughed, "Of course I remember, Mary's child... why did you call me so suddenly?"
"Hmph~ That's it..."
After Sera Masumi's introduction, Qin Zhibo learned that she had also returned from London the day before yesterday.
Originally, she stayed in London, England, and did not return to Japan with Mary because she felt a little guilty about the white horse detective who took a bullet for her.
The two of them had had a quarrel on the phone before, so Sera Masumi wanted to repay the favor by looking after Hakuba Tan.
As a result, as soon as Hakuba Tan recovered a little, he immediately started clamoring to return to Japan.
Because of the news from my mother-in-law who used to live in Japan, a TV program director came over and said that she wanted to produce a TV show in which high school detectives compete in a reasoning showdown called "Detective Koshien".
The program invited four high school detective representatives from "Southeast, Southeast, and Northwest". Among them, the representative of the eastern detectives was Detective White Horse.
Originally, Detective White Horse was not interested in this kind of inferior program that could not even be found on the Internet.
In addition, he was investigating the Twilight Annex in England at the time and couldn't get away, so he wanted to refuse.
However, his mother-in-law heard from the director that Detective White Horse was replacing a detective from an eastern high school student who was unable to participate in the show, so she was not convinced and she shed tears and decided to let her eldest grandson participate.
So in the name of her mother-in-law, Baima Tan rushed back from London as soon as his body recovered.
However, Hakuba Tan's body is still unable to move outside for a long time, and he has to use a wheelchair even when traveling, so Masumi Sera is sent as his representative.
Today, Sera Masumi plans to find the program director of "Detective Koshien" and discuss ways to replace her as a detective for high school students in the east.
"I just thought, uncle, you must have known a lot of people from TV stations after living in Japan for so many years..."
"It's been three years since I left here. If you're not familiar with the place here, can you introduce me to someone?"
Qin Zhibo nodded in understanding. He did have some connections in the TV station, and Rena Mizuna or Yoko Okino could help connect them.
but……
"When people produce TV programs, they always focus on gimmicks. Only by hiring high school detectives who are at least well-known in the local area can the program maintain its regional ratings."
"Are you famous in eastern Japan?"
"Hehe..." Shiliang grinned, "That's why I asked uncle for help~"
"As long as you have your face, uncle, are you still worried that something won't be possible?"
"Okay, okay, stop it..."
Qin Zhibo quickly stopped Sera from flattering him. He was not Kogoro Mori, and he would not be able to find the north, south, east, and west at the first glance.
But since the "niece" has already spoken, there is no reason not to do it.
"Okay, I can help you find someone to ask..."
"But I'm not absolutely sure whether it will work out in the end."
"OK! Thanks in advance!"
After hanging up the phone, Chengshi looked up and asked, "Is something wrong?"
"Well, I'll go out to do some errands later, you..."
Before Qin Zhibo finished speaking, Cheng Shi continued: "I can take care of myself, you go ahead."
Looking at the sensible Cheng Shi, Qin Zhibo nodded happily.
"Well, I'll try to come back as early as possible."
…
After leaving Chengshi Hospital, Qin Zhibo made a phone call to Shui Wu Lina.
Shui Wulian was a little surprised by Qin Zhibo's sudden call and thought there was some emergency.
But I was relieved when I found out that I was just helping to find the director of the program and using the back door to stuff someone inside.
""Detective Koshien"..."
"I have never heard of this program plan, but it may be a new program unit established by the TV station."
"Let's do this. I'm at the Rimai Television Station building now. You bring the newcomer here to see me directly, and we'll go talk to the producer of that program together."
Shui Wu Liannai immediately arranged the matter, which saved Qin Zhibo from having to run errands later.
After hanging up the phone, Qin Zhibo called Sera Masumi again and asked her to gather at the Nichimai TV building now.
However, Qin Zhibo also told her that this was just an interview with the producer of the program team, and it was not certain whether she would be selected.
After all, among the four major high school detectives of "Southeast, Southeast, and Northwest", the original candidate for the Eastern representative was Kudo Shinichi. Because Kudo Shinichi couldn't be contacted, Hakuba Detective was replaced.
Then the representative of the Western Region must be Hattori Heiji.
In this way, the status of high school detectives in the North and South will not be too low.
Masumi Sera is a pure amateur in the Japanese mystery world, and her female identity does not fit well with "Koshien", so she really doesn't have much competitiveness.
Of course, if Kudo Shinichi and Hakuba Detective can't come, it seems that there won't be any good high school detectives in the east, and the show will be scrapped.
So as long as there is negotiation, Qin Zhibo thinks there is still a certain probability that the negotiation can be successful.
The worst that can happen is that Sera Masumi will be dubbed "the most recent disciple of the famous detective Qin Zhibo".
…
When we arrived at the Nippon Television Station building in Cupido-cho, Masumi Sera was already waiting on the bench in the lobby on the first floor.
"Uncle!"
Sera Masumi stood up from the chair and walked over with light steps, "Uncle, you are very efficient~"
Qin Zhibo looked at Serang Zhenshun up and down. Although he was going to meet the program producer later, he was still dressed in neutral clothes, with a jacket and jeans, and he didn't look like a girl at all.
"You...are just wearing these?"
"Of course~" Sera Masumi fiddled with the collar of her jacket, "This outfit is my most handsome one!"
Okay...
Qin Zhibo didn't say anything more, and instead took out his phone to call Shui Wulian and told him that he was already at the TV station building.
But as soon as the call was connected, Shui Wu Lina's voice on the other end of the phone sounded a little embarrassed.
Qin Zhibo asked what was going on and whether the other party did not want to meet, and Shui Wulian gave a negative answer.
"Not really..."
"Well, let's meet and talk later..."
…
After a while, Mizuno Reina, dressed in professional attire, walked out of the elevator and met Qin Zhibo and Sera Masumi.
After Shui Wuliannai's narration, Qin Zhibo knew the real reason why things were difficult to handle.
"What?"
"Japanese TV station doesn't have this program plan?"
"Yes." Reina Mizuno nodded steadily, "I asked my colleagues in the program production center, but none of them have heard of the program "Detective Koshien"."
"Even the planning of this program has not been registered, and no one has submitted any proposals related to it..."
"How is this possible!" Shiliang's face was full of shock.
Mizuno Reina turned to look at Sera Masumi and asked, "Is it possible that you were deceived?"
"Being cheated..."
Shui Wu Liannai's words reminded Qin Zhibo.
However, the person who claims to be the program director is looking for Detective White Horse. If he wants to deceive, he should also target Detective White Horse.
If someone wants to deceive Detective Baima, could it be...
Suddenly, a huge black shadow appeared in Qin Zhibo's mind, and above the black shadow were several crows flying past in alarm.
Is it a trap set by a black organization?
Detective White Horse has been investigating the whereabouts of the Dusk Annex before. If the organization wants to prevent him from investigating, it may use false program invitations to set a trap.
Although this seems to be inconsistent with the style of the organization, Detective White Horse has a special status after all. He is the son of the police chief, so it is safest to create an accident to silence him.
But now that Baima Tan is seriously injured and his life or death is unknown from an organizational point of view, there is no need to proceed with this plan.
However, this matter was done without even Shui Wu Lina knowing about it. Could it be that the organization has other internal agents in the TV station?
"Miss Mizuno, I'm sorry to trouble you this time."
"If there is anything else to do later, I will contact you again."
After saying that, Qin Zhibo hurriedly left the TV station with Shiliang Zhenzhun.
After walking to a quiet place outside the TV station building, Qin Zhibo told Shiliang his suspicions.
Hearing these speculations, Shiliang was also shocked.
"If it was a trap set by the organization, wouldn't White Horse be in danger?"
"No……"
Qin Zhibo shook his head, "Since the program has been cancelled, it means that the organization may have decided that Detective White Horse has lost its killing value."
"But this might be an opportunity to uncover members of a certain organization..."
Qin Zhibo thought for a while and decided to meet the other party in person.
He then asked Masumi Sera about the complete process of how Hakuba Tanpa received the program invitation, and then he learned that the man who claimed to be the program director had left his phone number.
However, Shang Shiliang tried calling several times last night, but the number kept showing no answer, so he thought of asking Qin Zhibo for help and went directly through the back door of the TV station.
Qin Zhibo took the number from Shiliang's hand, looked at it, and found that it was an ordinary private number, not the number used by the organization's boss.
But since we want to find out the person behind the scenes, we definitely can't just attack him like this.
So Qin Zhibo and Shiliang found a cafe nearby, opened their laptops, and connected the phone and Sawada Hiroki's USB flash drive.
After making these preparations, Qin Zhibo dialed the phone number.
