Chapter 745 The cross-dressing boss and Tianshan Tonglao (6k)
"Hey, hey, it's not like I can't see you anymore. Why are you talking so sensationally?"
Qin Zhibo patted Aso Michiru's shoulder, and then took the suitcase handle from Haihara Ai.
The trio of high, middle and low people are walking on the street, looking like a family of three.
But in fact, the age difference between the three of them is relatively even, in a stepped shape.
Along the way, Hui Yuan Ai and Aso Shishi didn't speak. Qin Zhibo could only find some topics to lighten the atmosphere.
Arriving at the door of Dr. Ali's house, Qin Zhibo pressed the doorbell.
Ding--
This time, Dr. Ali did not use the usual control device to unlock the door inside, but came out to greet him personally.
"Xiao Ai! I'm back!"
"PhD."
Dr. Ali knelt down and opened his arms enthusiastically, wanting to hug Haibara Ai again after a long absence.
However, Haihara Ai just walked up to Dr. A Li, raised her hand and grabbed Dr. A Li's hand, and shook hands with him calmly and officially.
Dr. A Li: "."
Compared to Dr. A Li's enthusiasm, Haibara Ai's reaction was much duller.
However, Dr. Agasa was used to it. Haibara Ai was not a person who was good at expressing emotions, so he didn't pay attention and started talking to Aso.
"Dr. Chengshi, thank you very much for helping to take care of Xiao Ai during this time. Please forgive me."
Chengshi had a smile on his face, "No, no, actually, this kid is very worry-free and has helped me a lot. During this time, I..."
“Having a great time.”
As he spoke, Aso's voice became choked with sobs.
Seeing this, Qin Zhibo quickly changed the subject and took a symbolic glance at the villa, "Eh? Is that Osaka boy gone?"
"Osaka?" Dr. Ali was stunned for a moment before he understood who Qin Zhibo was talking about.
"Hattori Heiji and Ko. Kazuha, yes! Went to find Kazuha."
Dr. Agasa almost told Heiji Hattori and Conan's plan, but luckily he stopped the car in time.
"Oh, then we won't bother you and let's go first."
Qin Zhibo didn't bother, adhering to the idea that long-term pain is worse than short-term pain, he pushed Asana next to him and walked out.
Haiyuan Ai looked at Asao's back, her lips slightly parted, and she wanted to say something else.
But when the words came to his lips, his emotional thoughts were stopped by rational thinking.
no
Not yet.
Don't be impulsive, otherwise she will be implicated.
A few seconds later, until Aso Minoru's back completely disappeared from sight, Haibara Ai did not say what was in her heart.
Thank you for letting me experience the feeling of a sister again.
After leaving Dr. Ali's house, Qin Zhibo was going to do his own business.
But seeing Aso's absent-minded look, I was a little worried, so I thought I'd drive him back. Anyway, it wouldn't take much time.
But Aso Minoru said that he didn't want to take the car and wanted to walk back slowly.
There was no other way, Qin Zhibo could only accompany him.
Walking on the streets at dusk, the setting sun warms your back.
Suddenly, a faint sentence floated out of Aso's mouth.
"I regret."
"Huh?" Qin Zhibo was stunned for a moment and asked, "What did you say?"
Aso turned his head, his voice a little weak, "It would have been better if I had adopted Xiao Ai."
Only then did Qin Zhibo understand what Aso regretted. He met Haibara Ai earlier than Dr. Ali, and should have a better chance of adopting Haibara Ai.
But in fact, Haibara Ai originally came to see Dr. A Li, a person who might know the secret of shrinking people.
Only the interests of those who become smaller are the same.
In addition, Haihara Ai will not trust other people, nor will he involve irrelevant people.
Just when Qin Zhibo wanted to say something to comfort him, Cheng Shi continued to talk.
"Mr. Qin, do you still remember my life experience?"
"I once had a younger sister. In my memory, she also went to elementary school like Xiao Ai, and she seemed to be about the same height as Xiao Ai."
"Being with Xiao Ai makes me feel like my sister is still here."
"This feeling is amazing, like a dream."
"But now, I woke up from the dream"
Chengshi's voice was light and airy, as if she was really telling an unattainable dream.
Qin Zhibo was silent, not knowing how to comfort him with words, so he could only hug him gently.
After sending Aso Shimi back to the hospital, Qin Zhibo walked back to Dr. Ali's house alone and drove.
I walked this road four times today alone, and the experience was different each time.
For the first time, I eavesdropped on the conversation between Hattori Heiji and Conan. The conversation between this pair of gay friends was quite interesting.
The second time, I and Aso Minori sent Haibara Ai to Dr. Ali's house. It was originally a very normal thing, but the atmosphere was a bit sad.
The third time I sent Aso home, it was even more sad.
The fourth time, I had some insights into Aso's inner world.
Perhaps to this day, Aso is still in a state of self-blame and regret.
I blame myself for not being at the scene of the fire twelve years ago.
I regret why it was my sister who was burned to death and not myself.
This kind of self-blame and regret may have caused his brain to develop a self-repair mechanism.
Originally, Aso had succeeded in revenge from another aspect, and he should put aside his past identity, resume his original male body and continue living.
But his original identity was that of an incompetent brother, and he only felt guilty under his weak body.
He even wanted to live as a woman in place of his sister.
This situation may also be related to the permanent decline of will caused by exposure to the light of Aldebaran.
In short, Aso’s real desire not to regain his male body must be a psychological problem.
Qin Zhibo's psychology skill level is only 1, and he can probably only analyze it to this extent.
But if this is the case, Haibara Ai might be able to help Aso achieve "reviving the glory of men."
He doesn't want to restore his identity because he feels guilty about his sister.
If Haihara Ai can make him feel like his sister needs his brother, maybe he can be able to untie his knot.
But if that's the case, I'm afraid Haibara Ai will be shocked by Aso, who is a master of cross-dressing.
And judging from Haihara Ai's life experience, perhaps what she needs is a sister.
Thinking of this, Qin Zhibo scratched his head and felt that this problem was difficult to solve.
Forget it, I still don’t want to.
Anyway, the current situation is: the cross-dressing boss who wants a sister, and the Tianshan Tonglao who wants a sister.
As for what kind of bond these two "grandma"-level characters can create, we can only take it one step at a time.
Back in the convertible, Qin Zhibo was about to start doing his own business.
Some time has passed since Kinoshita Tomonori was taken away from the Head God Forest by an unknown mysterious person.
After he was taken away, Qin Zhibo also used the searching spell to search for him, but the result was that he could not be found.
The function of the finding spell is very unstable and depends on the state of the object being searched.
For example, at the garden party of Teidan High School, Qin Zhibo used the Searching Object Spell to find Conan, and what he found was not the enlarged Kudo Shinichi, but Haibara Ai's version of Conan.
In other words, the punches Kinoshita Tomonori received on the face from Qin Zhibo may have affected the performance of the Searching Object Spell.
"Today seems to be the fourth day."
"The swelling on your face should have subsided, right?"
Qin Zhibo put on the magic extractor, closed his eyes, and entered the search state.
After waiting for a while, I got an inspiration that pointed the direction.
So, Qin Zhibo immediately started the car and drove in this direction.
In front of a high-end apartment building, two figures, one tall and one short, stood in the sunset.
These two people are none other than Conan and Hattori Heiji.
Based on the clues provided by Mao Lilan, the two found the apartment building where Judy rented.
“This apartment is really high~”
"It turns out that you can make so much money as an English teacher..."
Hattori Heiji looked up at the dozens of apartment buildings in front of him and sighed, like a country bumpkin who entered the city for the first time.
Conan next to him was relatively calm, because he had just seen the dozens-of-storey apartment building at the home of his idol Kaoru Kusano yesterday.
"I heard from Xiaolan and Yuanzi that this teacher's father is quite rich, so he should be subsidized by his family, right?"
The two had a brief exchange and then walked into the building.
Although it is a high-end apartment, there are no security guards in the building. It should be that rich people care more about privacy.
Taking the elevator from the first floor to the 21st floor was a smooth journey.
"Let me take a look at Room 2104 on the 21st floor. I need to go this way."
The two of them kept the same walking posture, with their hands in their pockets, and walked danglingly until they reached the door of Room 2104.
Hattori Heiji glanced at the door number and confirmed the identity of the owner inside, "Judy. It seems like this is it."
Conan was quite cautious and didn't want to show off his cards today. He warned, "You must remember that we are just here to explore the road today. Don't mess around."
Regarding whether Judy is red or black, Conan still wants to patiently observe for a while.
Hattori Heiji also nodded in agreement, but turned around and asked Conan for any reason to sneak in.
This made Conan a little surprised, and he immediately shouted: "Hey! You haven't thought about it yet?"
"You're the one who said you wanted to come here to find out the truth!"
Hattori Heiji was also a little innocent, "Please, I'm the first person I've met, so what's the reason?"
Conan had no choice but to look away and said, "Forget it, the plan is cancelled. Let's go back. It won't be good if it arouses suspicion on the other side."
Conan turned around and was about to leave, but Hattori Heiji became more reckless.
"Wait a minute! How can we back down when we're already here?"
While speaking, Hattori Heiji waved his hand with great momentum, and with a flick of his hand, he hit the doorbell behind him.
jingle--
The air froze for less than two seconds before a questioning voice came from the microphone.
"Who is it?"
Hattori Heiji and Conan were immediately dumbfounded. It was too late to leave now. Maybe the other party had seen their faces through the peephole on the door.
I didn't want to come up with a valid reason at this time, so I sent it directly.
In desperation, Hattori Heiji quickly picked up Conan and stood in front of the microphone.
Conan also came up with a reason for the visit within 0.5 seconds of being picked up.
"It's me, Conan~"
The sound of milky milk passed through the wall and reached the other side of the microphone.
When Judy heard that Conan was coming, she hid the Colt revolver in the secret compartment of the entrance and answered into the microphone at the same time.
"Cool boy Conan, what's going on?"
"I'm here to play with Teacher Judy~"
"Ok, Ok, wait for me a moment."
Judy was caught off guard by the sudden visitor.
At this time, she was summarizing the intelligence she had recently collected. The table was filled with photos secretly taken by other FBI colleagues, as well as a laptop that was logging into the FBI system.
Judy quickly ran back to the living room, exited the FBI interface, closed the computer and put it away in the cabinet.
All the photos were gathered together and hidden in their old place - the hidden space behind the bathroom mirror.
After doing this, Judy still felt a little deliberate, so she simply took off her clothes and got into the bathtub to take a shower.
Outside the door, Conan and Hattori Heiji patiently waited for Judy to open the door.
During this process, three people came out of Room 2103 next to me.
One of the men in a brown formal suit was drunk. He was being supported by others and kept shouting that he was not drunk.
Staring at these three people reminded Conan of Kogoro Mouri, who was also an alcoholic.
Every time Mouri Kogoro got drunk alone at a nearby izakaya, the proprietress would call and ask Mouri Ran to take him back.
Judging from the conversation between the three of them, it seemed that the drunkard and the man who supported him were both social animals of a certain company.
The woman who came out last turned around and locked the door, and the three of them went downstairs together.
After the small episode, Conan and Hattori Heiji waited for a while, and the door of 2104 finally opened.
"Hi~ I kept you waiting for a long time."
"I happened to be taking a shower just now, sorry~"
Looking at Judy who greeted her warmly, both Hattori Heiji and Conan showed their long-lost beady eyes.
Just because the lavender bathrobe Judy was wearing was in a deep V shape, with a dizzying hemisphere in the half-open bodice.
The young man watching the game was speechless for a moment, and a blush appeared on his face.
A man is a boy until he dies!
"Oh! Are you a friend of the cool guy?" Judy asked again.
The younger Conan was better able to resist temptation, and he was the first to regain his senses, and quickly agreed on behalf of Hattori Heiji, who was still addicted to watching football.
"Well, we are together."
Judy turned around and invited the two of them in, but then she wanted to take the two of them out for dinner on the grounds that it was dinner time.
Hattori Heiji also came to his senses at this time and agreed, "Oh~Yes"
"But can I borrow your toilet? I've been waiting for a long time."
Conan also showed a childlike smile, "I also want to make it easier."
It's rude to use the restroom when you first arrive at someone else's house.
But Judy smiled slightly and didn't care. She pointed the direction of the toilet to the two of them.
The two of them quickly got into the toilet together, but instead of doing anything convenient, they started investigating in the toilet.
From the sink to the bathtub to the sewer outlet, everything within sight was investigated.
However, all this was seen by Judy at the door.
Although the door glass of the toilet is frosted glass, you can't see clearly what's going on inside.
But the two figures wandering around in the toilet and not going to the urinal clearly illustrates the problem.
What are they looking for.
While taking a shower in the bathroom, Judy calmly thought about why Conan brought an unknown young man to find her.
First of all, exclusion is just for fun.
Secondly, exclude those who come to learn foreign languages.
But apart from these two things, Judy couldn't figure out what was worth coming here.
But now it seems that these two people should be doubting themselves because of something.
As for the specific areas of suspicion, we can only take a step at a time to see.
After the two of them finished investigating the toilet, they pretended to flush the toilet.
Wow——
After the sound of water, the two of them took the opportunity to come out. Judy also just changed clothes and came out of the bedroom.
The new clothes were still deep V, a small black and purple suit and cropped shorts with slim legs, which showed Judy's good figure to the fullest.
However, with the previous experience, Hattori Heiji was relatively calm this time and was not knocked down by the beauty again.
Judy locked the door and led the two of them to the elevator.
While waiting for the elevator to come up, Judy sighed tentatively: "But I really didn't expect that cool boy you would actually make foreign friends at this age~"
"Foreign friends?" Hattori Heiji looked confused, "Who are you talking about?"
Judy smiled and explained, "You, your skin is a little darker than the average Japanese, and your accent is also very strange~"
When Conan next to him heard this, he immediately couldn't hold back his laughter, turned his face to the side and started to snicker.
Hattori Heiji immediately shouted excitedly, "Please! Osaka accent is also a standard Japanese dialect!"
Judy's eyes moved slightly, but she continued to pretend to be confused, "Are you talking about a type of gun?"
Hattori Heiji was a little helpless and could not continue to be angry at his foreign friends. He could only complain, "I am really defeated by you."
Conan, who had laughed enough next to him, saw this and stepped in to help his friend, giving an example: "Don't Americans also have a Southern accent?"
"Gun? Oh! Guns are very dangerous, whether in the south or the north~"
Judy continued to pretend to be confused, leaving Conan speechless.
"Why are you still mentioning the gun? I'm talking about the tone."
"Yes! The accent is different~"
After probing out some information, Judy no longer pretended to be confused.
First of all, Hattori Heiji is from Osaka, but he came all the way here.
Secondly, Conan's knowledge reserve is indeed different from that of his peers, and he even knows the southern accent of the United States.
Have these two people already guessed their true identities?
After coming out of the apartment building, the three of them were preparing to find a restaurant nearby to eat.
A woman at the front door held a camera and took pictures upstairs, attracting the attention of three people.
"This is not the one just now."
Before Conan finished speaking, this woman was the woman among the three people he met just now when he was waiting for Judy to open the door.
Judy took a step forward and introduced: "Oh, she is the girlfriend of Mr. Takai who lives next door to me."
Hattori Heiji was wondering what was there to take pictures in this place, when something fell on the ground next to him.
snap——
The crisp impact sound attracted the attention of the three people.
When I turned around, I saw that a flip phone had fallen to the ground.
Smelling something unusual, the detective duo hurried forward to pick up the phone.
The quality of the phone is very good, the screen is bright, and except for some paint chipping off, all functions are normal.
The two of them looked up again to see who was so unethical and throwing objects at high altitude.
But at this moment, another dark thing fell from upstairs.
In the dim night sky, this thing grew larger and clearer, until it became clearly visible.
It's a person!
Poof——
After a loud noise, the man's body was hit without any bias.
It didn't hit anyone, it just happened to hit the ground in front of Conan and Hattori.
Bright red blood flowed down the broken head, and the broken neck was twisted at an incredible angle.
Suddenly a corpse fell from the sky, and the people at the door of the apartment all opened their eyes with disbelief on their faces.
After being shocked, Conan and Hattori Heiji stopped thinking about saving people and immediately started autopsy.
It can be said that it was an autopsy, and the manner of death was too obvious. There were no clues on the body.
However, Judy standing by recognized the deceased as Mr. Takai who lived next door.
When the woman taking the photo next to her heard this, she ran over to identify the body, and sure enough she recognized it as her boyfriend.
Under questioning from Conan and Hattori, the woman revealed that Takai was alone in the apartment and the door was locked. He was too drunk to hear other people ringing the doorbell.
So the only option is suicide.
But Conan took out the flip phone he just picked up, pressed the operation with a ball pen, and explained: "This phone belongs to my uncle, right?"
"Before he fell, he had been talking to a person named Kawakami. About a minute ago, he also read a text message from a person named Nakamachi."
Next to him, Hattori Heiji also reasoned, "Before Mr. Takai fell, you actually took pictures in front of this dimly lit building. Isn't this too suspicious?"
The woman still wanted to defend her behavior, but Hattori Heiji had made it clear.
"Anyway, after we find the two people who just called and sent text messages, as well as the police, you can slowly explain it."
When encountering a murder case, Conan and Hattori Heiji immediately seemed like a different person.
And all this was seen by Judy standing behind.
After a while, the Mumu police arrived with manpower.
After taking photos of the corpse to collect evidence, Officer Megure, who was used to being taught how to do things, directly began to interrogate the three people summoned by Hattori Heiji.
These three people happened to be the same three people Conan had watched in the corridor.
The noise of police cars and ambulances downstairs also alerted the people upstairs.
By the window of Room 2105, a figure slightly leaned out of the curtains and quietly observed the bright police lights downstairs.
"Mr. Furutani, some police suddenly came outside the apartment."
"It seems like there was a murder in the room opposite me."
On the other side of the phone, Toru Amuro was a little surprised.
I specially found the most remote and quiet high-end apartment in Tokyo. Why did a murder happen so quickly?
You must know that Kinoshita Tomonori is hiding there. If he is discovered by ordinary police, although he can use his identity as a Japanese police officer, it also means that more people will know that Kinoshita Tomonori is hiding here.
At this time, any exposure is extremely dangerous.
"Don't act rashly yet, I will go over to support you right away!"
After saying that, Toru Amuro immediately hung up the phone, picked up the car keys and went out.
At the same time, in the parking lot outside the apartment building, a red Mustang convertible drove slowly.
After an hour of searching and locating, Qin Zhibo finally determined the ultimate target guided by the finding spell, which was the apartment building in front of him.
But as soon as he arrived downstairs at the apartment, Qin Zhibo was startled by several police cars in front of him and the ambulance that had just driven away.
