Chapter 490 A travel plan that kills three birds with one stone

Mr. Clock, he has left Japan since last week’s incident in Yatogamiura City, Chiba Prefecture.

Entering Enkai requires an artifact called a "Panest fragment", and the clue to the last fragment is in the hands of the local "Silver Twilight Church" in Arkham.

It was precisely for this reason that Mr. Clock went to Arkham.

On the phone, Mr. Clock did not explain the reason why Qin Zhibo wanted to rush to the United States as soon as possible.

However, for the most important main task, Qin Zhibo certainly would not neglect it and was ready to set off the next day.

After watching the morning news, Qin Zhibo immediately turned off the TV, packed his luggage and prepared for departure.

Although he was going on a long trip this time, Qin Zhibo still planned to travel lightly. In addition to the standard skin of a brown windbreaker, he only needed to bring another set of close-fitting clothing in his suitcase.

Qin Zhibo found his American passport from the second drawer of his desk, and just as he was about to put it in his suitcase, there was a knock on the door of the office.

Bang bang bang——

Qin Zhibo went to open the door. He was about to refuse the guest, but found that the person in front of him looked familiar.

"You're not that"

Although the man was wearing a mask, the mask was not worn properly and only touched his chin, which allowed Qin Zhibo to see his name.

Higashida Kawasaki, a man who went to Arkham to visit his seriously ill daughter, was framed as a murderer by his colleagues who worked together, and was arrested by Sato and Takagi.

Qin Zhibo received a commission from the Nine Angels organization to help Dongtian remove the suspicion and get on the plane to the United States on time.

Before boarding the plane, Qin Zhibo asked him to inquire about an old man named Danvers at Arkham Asylum.

And this Danvers was one of the members who went on the Antarctic expedition with Mr. Mamiya, and he was also an important figure in unlocking the second half of "At the Mountains of Madness".

Currently, he is the only one in the world who knows what happened in the Mountains of Crazy.

Now that Higashida has returned to Japan, this shows.

"Mr. Qin, we meet again."

Dongtian took off the mask he was not wearing, smiled politely, and said straight to the point: "It's clear what you asked me to inquire about. That old man Danforth is still alive."

"He is currently living in Arkham Asylum, patient number is 4859."

"That's all I know. If there's nothing else, I'll leave first."

After explaining the matter, Higashida glanced at the interior of the office, said goodbye and left.

After listening to Dongtian's explanation, Qin Zhibo felt a little secretly happy.

After a long trip to the United States, everything just happened to come together.

That's right, let's do it together.

On the street, a black car sped past.

The man in the driver's seat has light blond hair and dark skin, giving him a slightly frivolous handsomeness.

Suddenly, the phone in his arms rang. The man grasped the steering wheel with one hand and smoothly took out the phone from his pocket with the other hand.

"Hello?"

"."

"."

"Okay, I understand, thank you for your hard work."

After ending the call, the man put the phone back into his inner pocket, with an interested smile on his face and said, "My assistant called, and he has already told the detective the information."

"Um."

In the boss's seat in the back seat of the car, even though only the lower body of the man sitting upright is exposed due to the arrangement of light and shadow in the car, he still gives the impression of being calm and intimidating.

"The old gentleman in Ward 10 in Area B is quite interesting. When I lived there, I often heard him talk about some miraculous and weird things."

The man didn't say the word "story", but things.

"correct."

The light-blond man sitting in the front driver's seat twisted the steering wheel, turned a big corner, and continued: "The assistant also said that he saw the detective packing his luggage, with his passport on the table, as if he was about to leave.

Far away."

"Oh? That's quite interesting."

There was a hint of emotional change in the strong and thick voice of the man in the back seat, and then the conversation changed.

"Thanks to those guys, my old clock that has been idle for many years has to start running again."

Sunlight spilled into the car along the front window glass, and an indescribable light was reflected from the special one-eyed dark lenses on the man's face.

In the Zhibo Detective Agency, Qin Zhibo packed all his luggage and hurriedly wrote a note announcing the suspension of business and posted it on the door.

To be on the safe side, Qin Zhibo told Miss Hanako, who ran the women's clothing store on the first floor, about his trip to the United States. If any familiar faces came to ask, he would just explain it to them.

Qin Zhibo felt there was no need to hide the matter of going to the United States.

Especially when Conan came to ask, he was sending a signal to him.

Uncle, I'm leaving now. I'll leave it to you to protect the justice of Yoneka Town.

Qin Zhibo first exchanged some US dollars at Baling Bank for use after arriving in the United States, and then took a taxi to Haneda Airport.

But unfortunately, Haneda Airport does not have a direct flight from Tokyo to Arkham. The last time Higashida went to Arkham was from Narita Airport.

I called to inquire and found out that the flight from Tokyo to Arkham is unpopular among the least popular, and the next flight from Narita Airport will have to wait three days.

Consulting here at Haneda Airport, flights to Boston, New York and other places not far from Arkham are either full or have already taken off.

This is what happens if you don't book a flight in advance.

Qin Zhibo asked again if there were any flights from Tokyo to other locations in the United States today, and the ticket sales lady patiently informed them one by one.

“The flights to the United States with remaining tickets today are Chicago, Philadelphia, Las Vegas, Hawaii, and Los Angeles.”

Hearing the name of Los Angeles, Qin Zhibo was stunned for a moment, thinking that in the Okinawa Ghost Turtle Island case, the person who provided medicine to treat "mermaid disease" to Taira Ie was in Los Angeles.

Since this person can provide this special medicine, he must have done in-depth research on mermaids, and maybe we can get some information from him.

Although Los Angeles is located in the western United States and is not even in the same time zone as Arkham, which is in the eastern United States, it is still worth taking this trip in order to deal with the mermaids and complete the main mission.

So happily decided!

"Here's a ticket to Los Angeles."

Sitting on the plane, Qin Zhibo first took out his phone and turned it off, and then took out a small notebook that was not often used, and wrote down the goal of his trip to the United States.

1. First go to Los Angeles, find Mark Allen, and ask for information about the "Merman".

2. Go to Arkham Town, find Danvers in Arkham Asylum, and ask for information about the Antarctic expedition that year.

3. Finally, get in touch with Mr. Clock in Arkham.

When I go to the United States this time, I can do three things in one go.

It’s really killing three birds with one stone!
