Kudo Yukiko brought Qin Zhibo watermelon juice to relieve the heat, while Qin Zhibo looked around Kudo Yusaku's mansion with some restraint.
This mansion is located in Beverly Hills, Los Angeles, a world-famous residential area for the wealthy and a shopping paradise.
It is said that many celebrities have lived here, including Hollywood movie stars, international singers, world-class athletes, and a certain game program developer.
Kudo Yusaku can live here as a mystery writer. It seems that writing mystery novels in this world is really profitable.
Qin Zhibo turned his head and looked outside the living room. A beautiful sea was installed in the panoramic floor-to-ceiling windows like an IMAX screen.
The afterglow of the setting sun spreads on the sea, and the sparkling waves are refreshing and refreshing.
?
Qin Zhibo arched his nose slightly and expressed his disdain for the sea with the same expression as "an old man on the subway looking at his mobile phone".
"Is that the Pacific Ocean outside the window?"
Kudo Yusaku smiled and turned around, "It's exactly because of the beautiful scenery that I spent a lot of money to buy this house."
It can be seen that Kudo Yusaku is very satisfied with the scenery here. With the green mountains at his back and the sea in front of him, it is extremely comfortable.
In fact, you can buy many houses with mountain and sea views in Japan.
But when Kudo Yusaku and Yukiko lamented the rising crime rate in Mihua Town and came up with the idea of changing their houses, they discovered that most of the sea-view houses built on mountains in Japan were haunted houses.
Either a murder had occurred, or the owner of the house was imprisoned for murder. Some of the cases in the house were even solved by Kudo Yusaku himself.
Although these houses are resold at extremely low prices, no one is interested.
Of course, Kudo Yusaku and Yukiko would not be the takeovers of these haunted houses. Considering that Kudo Shinichi might come to the United States to study in college in the future, they came to settle in the top wealthy areas of the United States.
It's a pity that Kudo Shinichi was obsessed with women and didn't follow him.
Otherwise, Los Angeles, known as the "City of Angels," will unleash a bloody storm and bring about an unprecedented plunge in the property market.
Qin Zhibo tasted the freshly squeezed watermelon juice and chatted with Kudo Yusaku.
"Mr. Qin, I saw you last time when Yukiko and I went back to Japan for business, but we saw that you seemed to be busy with something, so we didn't say hello to you."
"Oh" Qin Zhibo was a little confused, "which time was it?"
"You were passing by my house that day, and Yukiko and I were sitting in the car."
Since Aso's hospital and Dr. Agasa's house were both near Kudo's house, Qin Zhibo himself often walked there, and he couldn't remember which time.
I just hope Kudo Yusaku doesn't see what weird things he is doing.
In fact, when he met Qin Zhibo before, Kudo Yusaku felt that Qin Zhibo might be performing some secret mission as an FBI.
After returning to the United States, Kudo Yusaku used his personal connections to check the situation of "Vince Chin" and found out that he voluntarily resigned four years ago.
But this does not mean that there is no power behind Qin Zhibo. Kudo Yusaku wanted to take this opportunity to see if he could find some clues.
"By the way, why do you want to open a detective agency in Japan?" Yusaku Kudo asked tentatively.
"Because the Japanese people need me."
Kudo Yusaku: "."
Kudo Yusaku didn't know what Qin Zhibo said.
Since he left, the crime rate in Mihua Town has indeed increased, but the crime detection rate has dropped, and the people of Mihua Town are in dire straits.
When Qin Zhibo said this, Kudo Yusaku felt that he was a little unscrupulous.
It was obvious that Mihua and Brother Memu needed him so much, just like Gotham needed Batman, but he chose to leave.
"Ahem."
Kudo Yusaku clenched his fist and coughed twice to relieve his inner embarrassment, "Actually, I have been paying attention to the cases in Japan."
At this time, Yukiko on the side turned on the TV with tacit understanding and relayed the broadcast to Tokyo, Japan.
Although he is in the United States, it is broadcast by Japanese TV stations. This is proof that Kudo Yusaku still cares about Japan.
At this time, the normal program signal on the TV was suddenly cut off, and the announcer appeared with a serious face.
"An urgent news break. The current criminal police officer of the Seongnam Police Station and the inspection chief Shibayo Ichiro were found dead in the underground parking lot of his home."
"Based on preliminary judgment by the police, he was killed by the same pistol as the Narazawa police officer who was found dead in a telephone booth at the intersection of Mihua Park yesterday afternoon."
"The murderer is still on the run. Citizens with witnesses and clues are asked to actively contact the police search headquarters."
Seeing the "posthumous photos" of the two detectives released on the news, Qin Zhibo, Kudo Yusaku, and Yukiko all fell silent.
The criminals in Mihua were so rampant that even the police shot them in the street.
Kudo Yusaku had a serious expression, walked aside and picked up the phone to dial Officer Megure's personal number.
However, the call cannot be made.
This made Kudo Yusaku a little embarrassed. The two of them had always communicated through this phone number in the past.
So Qin Zhibo came over and said, "I'll do it."
Qin Zhibo dialed the phone number of Mu Mu's desk that he had memorized during the last confession recording.
Japan Metropolitan Police, Investigation Headquarters.
Officer Megure discussed the case with Shiratori Rensaburo with a serious look on his face.
Suddenly, the office phone on the desk rang, and Officer Memu turned around and answered the phone.
"Hello? I'm Mu Mu."
The voice of Kogoro Mori came from the other side of the phone.
"Police Master, I would like to ask you for details about yesterday's case."
"Sorry, I'm busy right now. Please contact me later."
Dududu——
When the phone was hung up, Mouri Kogoro, who was full of enthusiasm and ready to donate his heart, looked surprised. His expression seemed to say, "He actually hung up on me?"
Conan, who was standing nearby with his eyes shining as he prepared to look for clues to solve the case, was also a little shocked.
Conan quickly ran outside, ran to the phone booth, picked up the bow-tie voice changer and dialed Officer Megure's personal number.
"Hello? Officer Megure."
"I am Kudo Shinichi, regarding the recent serial murders of detectives."
"Huh?"
Dududu——
It didn't take more than ten seconds from when the phone was picked up to when the busy signal came out, and the words used were exactly the same as those used to reject Mouri Kogoro.
You can't even use Kudo Shinichi's identity anymore?
Conan's expression was both shocked and aggrieved, as if he was saying, "He actually hung up on me?"
At the search headquarters, Officer Megure, who refused two helpers in a row, looked at Shiratori Rensaburo on the side.
"Listen carefully, Brother White Bird."
"That case is a secret between us and must not be mentioned to outsiders, do you understand?"
Looking at the seriousness on Officer Megure's face, Shiratori Rensaburo knew that Officer Megure had finally made up his mind this time.
Determined not to rely on outsiders' help to solve the case.
But at this moment, the phone on the desk rang again, making Officer Megu's brows look a little impatient.
Officer Megure answered the phone. The voice on the other end was very mature and familiar, but it was not Kogoro Mouri.
"Officer Mumu, my name is Qin Zhibo."
When he heard this name that made people feel safe, Mu Mu's eyes lit up, and his expression seemed to say
