With Suzuki Sonoko's guarantee, Qin Zhibo felt more at ease.
In fact, there is no need to be too anxious about this matter, as long as it is done before next week, after all, I still need to prepare some things.
"By the way, Mr. Qin." Sonoko suddenly added, "Tomorrow the fishing competition sponsored by my father will be held at Lake Oko in Kanagawa Prefecture. If uncle has time, come with us~"
us?
Qin Zhibo was somewhat interested in this "us" and asked: "Is there still Conan?"
"Yes, there is Xiaolan, and Conan and those brats."
"I'm going!"
Qin Zhibo agreed quickly without thinking, and Yuanzi was shocked by his decisive attitude.
"Ah, then it's settled." Sonoko was about to hang up the phone when her face turned red and she thought of someone else, "Mr. Qin, if possible, can your assistant Mr. Amuro also be called over?"
Although after the last Valentine's Day incident at the Villa, Sonoko and Kyogoku have officially confirmed their relationship as boyfriend and girlfriend.
But now Kyogoku is competing abroad, thousands of miles away.
As the saying goes, water from afar cannot quench the thirst of the near. Yuanzi has always been dedicated to relationships, but will not miss every opportunity to admire handsome men.
But this time her plan completely failed.
"Xiao An asked for leave this week to deal with some things, so he probably doesn't have time."
"In that case, forget it." Yuanzi's tone was a little disappointed, "Then Mr. Qin will meet at Xiaolan's father's office tomorrow morning."
After ending the call, Qin Zhibo thought about the "cocoon" again.
Even if Taku Itakura's software is used to introduce the green signal into the "cocoon" again, how to defeat the "green signal" is also the key.
The last time he got out of trouble, he mainly relied on the fate coin thrown by Mao Lilan to summon the King in Yellow.
Now there are no coins available, what should I do?
Qin Zhibo unconsciously looked at this week's props. There were still many props that he had not purchased, and he did not have enough proficiency. This meant that this week was still long.
There is a prop here that makes Qin Zhibo a little concerned.
【Oath Keeping Sword】
This prop has the ability to kill evil heretics. Judging from the description, it not only has physical attack power, but also some magical attack power, which has a blessing effect on courage and determination.
Courage and determination are easy to understand, they are will.
And the ability to attack evil demons and heretics may be used to deal with the tentacles of the "Green Signal".
It's just that this item requires 12,000 general proficiency, and the price is really high.
If you haven't purchased the previous item.
Qin Zhibo changed his mind and suddenly remembered something.
By the way! Where’s Jerry?
Jerry, the first mouse summoned by Qin Zhibo using the Magic Flute, was raised as a pet by Qin Zhibo.
I have experienced a lot since attending the "Cocoon" press conference.
I slept in the hospital for two days. When I came back, I was so busy with Taku Itakura and the black organization that I didn't think about it at all.
You're not starving to death, are you?
"Jerry!"
"Jerry!"
At this moment, Qin Zhibo was like Ruth calling Jack in the Titanic that was about to sink, running back and forth in the room.
However, no matter how much I searched the office or the living area on the third floor, Jerry was nowhere to be found.
Is he still alive?
Qin Zhibo remembered that he did not put Jerry in a cage on the day he left to attend the press conference.
If food and water are gone, it should go out and look for food on its own.
The premise is that it can get out of the house.
Qin Zhibo stretched out his right hand, and the [Magic Flute] appeared on his palm.
Play the bone flute according to the fingering in memory, and a dull and monotonous tune slowly plays.
After blowing for more than five minutes, a squeaking sound came from somewhere.
Zhizhi——
Qin Zhibo followed the sound and found a small mouse hole in the wall behind the cabinet.
Fine stone debris is scattered around the entrance of the cave. Jerry is sitting at the entrance of the cave, looking up at Qin Zhibo with a pair of black eyes, just like Jerry in "Tom and Jerry", quite spiritual.
As soon as Qin Zhibo stretched out his hand, Jerry ran out and jumped into the palm of his hand.
I haven't seen it for a few days. After I started using it, it felt heavy in my hand, and it seemed to be significantly heavier than when I walked on it.
"How did you survive these days?"
Qin Zhibo tried to communicate with Jerry, but this complex problem was far beyond the mouse's ability to express.
In short, Jerry didn't wait to starve to death here.
only
Qin Zhibo looked at the mouse hole in the corner behind the cabinet with shock in his eyes.
Although the son of a mouse is born to dig holes, this building is made of concrete. For the purpose of earthquake resistance, the stronger it is, the better.
Under such circumstances, Jerry was still able to make a hole that was only slightly smaller than his fist, which is really incredible.
What rat's teeth can penetrate concrete walls?
Qin Zhibo remembered the introduction about the magic flute. The call came through the magic flute. It seemed that it was not a specific species of mouse, but
Rat in the wall.
Jerry is a mouse from the wall.
At present, Jerry has extremely high intelligence compared to animals, as well as an amazing chewing ability to break through concrete walls.
With such a bite force, it would not be a problem to bite his own neck in an instant while he was sleeping.
This reminded Qin Zhibo of the dream of "The Red Pigherd", in which the rat finally killed the pigherder who summoned the rats.
Jerry
Qin Zhibo thought for a while and decided to keep Jerry.
It’s just that my personality and frequent outings make me not suitable for keeping pets, especially pets that don’t have a strong sense of presence like rats.
Fortunately, Jerry has a strong ability to survive and adapt to the environment. In this case, you can change the way and raise it as a "traveling frog".
"Jerry, I won't restrict your freedom anymore."
"Don't forget to bring something back later and show it to me."
Qin Zhibo didn't know whether the little mouse could understand what he said, but now it seemed that it didn't want to leave. Its two small paws were put together in a clasping shape.
I want melon seeds.
Qin Zhibo went to the Sunday convenience store across the street and bought fresh melon seeds, which finally satisfied Jerry's appetite.
After eating and drinking, Jerry really left.
When you come, you come out of the cave entrance, and when you leave, you also walk out of the cave entrance.
Qin Zhibo swept away the gravel near the entrance of the cave and moved the cabinet to another location, making this place an open and honest place for Jerry to live.
The next day, morning.
Qin Zhibo closed the door of the office, hung the "close" sign, and set off for the Maori Detective Office.
As soon as I arrived at the office, I found it was very busy.
Mao Lilan, Conan, and the three little ones, a total of five people wearing fishing outdoor clothing, were already ready to go.
Only Mouri Kogoro was wearing formal clothes and sitting behind the table with a miserable look on his face, pretending to read a newspaper, but in fact his face was filled with envy and jealousy.
As a senior fishing guy, Kogoro Mouri only has a job while others go fishing for fun. This is really a torture.
Looking at Qin Zhibo again, how come he is a famous detective at the same age and can skip work casually and live so freely and freely?
After all, it’s too early to get married.
"Mr. Qin is here, we can set off!"
Mao Lilan said hello, and the three little ones immediately stood up from the sofa excitedly.
"Fishing eels! Let's eat eels rice!" Genta looked excited, which made Conan next to him helpless.
At this time, Mitsuhiko corrected him: "Genta, eels can only be found in the sea. The place we are going to this time is a lake."
The wrong popularization of science made Conan unable to restrain his desire to show off. He put down his bored hands from behind his head and began to introduce it seriously.
"Eels are both freshwater fish and marine fish. They spawn in the sea once a year, grow in rivers on land, and migrate to the ocean to spawn when mature. They are typical migratory fish."
Such professional science popularization of the animal world did not surprise Mao Lilan and Maori Kogoro at the side.
Don't ask, just ask about the TV.
Qin Zhibo looked around and found that there was one missing Hui Yuan Ai in the young man Bai Gei's group.
Although strictly speaking, Haihara Ai did not give it in vain, but sometimes it is indeed easy to be affected by some influences.
"Xiao Ai didn't like the smell of fish, so she didn't come," Ayumi explained for Haihara Ai who was not present.
This was the explanation given by Dr. Agasa, but in fact, Haibara Ai heard that she was going to the annual fishing competition sponsored by the Suzuki Foundation.
This kind of competition may be reported by the media. If she is photographed and recognized by the black organization, it will be troublesome.
In this way, a total of six people, including Qin Zhibo, embarked on the road to Kanagawa Prefecture.
The fishing location this time was a bit remote, in a river in Kanagawa Prefecture.
The group needs to first take a train to Kanagawa Prefecture, and then take a sightseeing train with local characteristics to reach Lake Oko.
Sitting on the top floor of the sightseeing train, breathing the fresh air in the mountains, Qin Zhibo felt relieved unconsciously.
On the left side of the train, a blue-green lake appears in front of you, and above the lake is a horizontal gray concrete embankment.
While Qin Zhibo was enjoying the quiet scenery before the murder, Mao Lilan next to him suddenly spoke.
"Mr. Qin, may I ask Mr. Amuro if he has any entrustments recently?"
Qin Zhibo turned his head and saw some trepidation in Mao Lilan's eyes, as if he had something to say.
"What? Where did you see Xiao An?"
Mao Lilan hesitated for a second and nodded, "I saw Mr. Amuro that night when I came home from the Rice Krispies Restaurant."
"He seemed to be following the passengers in the bus hijacking incident."
Mao Lilan expressed his inner intuition.
Ever since meeting Akai Shuichi and Amuro Toru by chance, Mao Lilan wanted to tell Qin Zhibo about this.
"If Mr. Qin asked Mr. Amuro to follow that person, that person is"
"yes"
After hesitating for a moment, Mao Lilan boldly said what was on his mind.
"That person is the American FBI."
"Although he looks a little scary, he is really a good person."
Now Mao Lilan clearly remembers everything that happened in the New York incident. Although she was frightened and frightened at the time, the other party reminded her to leave for her own good.
It's just that the tone of speaking is not as gentle as in the service industry.
At this time, Conan, who was sitting in the front seat, also heard the sensitive topic being discussed behind him and looked slightly sideways, paying attention to Qin Zhibo's reaction.
After that incident, Conan was busy replacing the deceased Taku Itakura and contacting the black organization, and did not take this matter seriously.
But after listening to Mao Lilan's words, Conan also felt that Toru Amuro was probably following Shuichi Akai at that time.
If it is true that former FBI Qin Zhibo asked Amuro Tohru to follow Akai Shuichi, it means that Qin Zhibo has already become suspicious of his identity.
Shuichi Akai is probably a fake FBI!
If it wasn't the FBI, in that hijacked bus, if Haibara Ai's reaction was true, Akai Shuichi was probably an organizer.
What exactly is going on depends on Qin Zhibo’s reply now.
After listening to Mao Lilan's words, Qin Zhibo was also a little confused.
Toru Amuro asked for leave to follow Shuichi Akai?
But then I thought about it, could this be Tohru Amuro's job as a Japanese police officer?
The work of the Japanese public security includes counterintelligence. If you were an FBI agent with an American background like Shuichi Akai, you would definitely be on tight guard to prevent infiltration.
Although this incident was not his own, if he couldn't explain it, Tohru Amuro's true identity might be exposed.
After all, following an American FBI agent is not the job of a detective. In Japan, only the police are the only ones left to do this kind of thing.
Once Mao Lilan realizes that Toru Amuro is a police officer, he may not have any free assistants anymore.
"Yes, that's right, it was my instruction for Xiao An to follow that man."
"I saw him wandering around a few times before, and he was also there when the bus was hijacked. I felt a little suspicious, so I let Xiao An go."
"So he is an FBI, a good guy with a knife? This is really unexpected."
Qin Zhibo clicked his tongue repeatedly and showed off his acting skills.
Seeing that Qin Zhibo believed in her, Mao Lilan felt a little relieved on her face.
Only Conan was sitting in the front seat, and the expression on his face gradually changed from careful scrutiny to fright.
Qin Zhibo is also investigating that person's identity.
It means he is probably not the FBI!
At this moment, Conan's mind fell into thinking about extremely terrifying scenes.
It’s almost noon and the sightseeing train arrives at the station on time.
As soon as I came out of the station, Suzuki Sonoko was already waiting at the exit.
As the sponsor of this competition, Suzuki Sonoko arrived here half a day in advance.
Originally, Shiro Suzuki served as the sponsor and award presenter for this kind of competition, but when the cocoon press conference happened, Shiro Suzuki, who was busy negotiating, had no choice but to ask Sonoko Suzuki to block such unimportant activities.
The three little ones attended many events and knew that Yuanzi was the sponsor of this event, so they quickly took the initiative to say hello.
"Sister Mariko, I would like to ask for your advice today!"
The three little ones bowed to Yuanzi in unison, which made Yuanzi a little impressed.
"Why are you so polite today? That's a good start~"
"By the way, I have already signed up for the fishing competition for you, and your team's name will be 'Team Little Ones'!"
