Mao Lilan, who was fishing, heard Qin Zhibo's voice and turned to look over.
"Don't worry, just leave it to me!"
With Mao Lilan agreeing to be the trustee, Qin Zhibo can go about his business with peace of mind.
The so-called goddess of luck means that even if she does nothing, most of the surrounding situations will develop in a direction that is beneficial to her.
Although the fishing rod belonged to Qin Zhibo, it seemed that whether he caught fish or not had nothing to do with Mao Lilan.
But catching a big fish with the fishing rod in custody = increases Qin Zhibo’s favorability = increases Mao Lilan’s popularity.
Under this set of causal formulas, your fishing rod is likely to be affected.
As long as your fishing rod can catch big fish, you can count it as your achievement.
Flawless logic!
And after arriving at the fishing competition, Qin Zhibo had one thing on his mind.
Among the props in the mall last week, Qin Zhibo had an unused prop called "Starry Sky Fishing Rod".
The "starry sky fishing rod" can fish a wide range of items, including living and dead objects, as long as they are in this universe.
Unfortunately, this fishing rod cannot be used alone. It must be blessed by a "starry sky fisherman" before it can be used for fishing.
As for what a "starry sky angler" is, Qin Zhibo has never been able to understand it.
But according to conventional thinking, "fisherman" generally refers to fishing guys, right?
There are so many anglers in this fishing competition, including professionals. Maybe you can find a suitable "angler".
As for how to hand over the "Starry Sky Fishing Rod" to the other party, there may be further instructions once we find the person first.
The angler search for [Starry Sky Fishing Rod] is enabled by default.
Qin Zhibo only needs to walk along the waters around Aogu Lake and go to places where there are fishermen.
Just do it.
Qin Zhibo started walking around the lake, getting close to the anglers from time to time to test whether the "starry sky fishing rod" responded.
Professional fishermen generally don't like anyone approaching them while fishing, for fear of startling the fish in the water.
But when they saw Qin Zhibo coming, the fishermen were all polite.
Now Qin Zhibo's social credit is very high and his reputation is not small. Many fishermen know this identity of the famous detective.
Therefore, these fishing guys took it for granted that Qin Zhibo was here to supervise whether anyone was cheating in the fishing competition.
I walked around half of Aogu Lake and met dozens of anglers, but the [Starry Sky Fishing Rod] never responded.
Qin Zhibo wondered if it was the "fishing rod" who also chose the "fisher".
Only a person with extremely good fishing skills can control the [Starry Sky Fishing Rod].
If this is the case, the last fishing champion who looks like Shui Liannai may be the most promising candidate.
Qin Zhibo put on the magic extractor and silently recalled the appearance of the fishing champion in his mind, and soon got a direction in his mind.
I kept walking along the runoff in this direction and finally found Saori Ayukawa who was concentrating on fishing.
Besides her, four little ones were also fishing nearby.
He said he would not follow the adults, but his body honestly followed the previous champion.
"Hey, little devils~"
Qin Zhibo came over to greet a few people, and the three little ones who were bored and expecting the fish to take the bait immediately had expressions of surprise.
"Uncle Qin! Why are you here?"
"Let me see how your harvest goes?"
At the mention of "harvest", the expressions of the three little ones immediately dropped.
Qin Zhibo walked to the fish shelter shared by several people, only to find that there was not a single fish inside.
On the ground next to it, however, there was a black rubber boot soaked in water, which must have been freshly caught.
"It seems you are not very lucky. Keep up the good work."
The three little ones thought they would attract a storm of ridicule, but Qin Zhibo did not rub salt into their wounds, but instead gave them warm encouragement.
This made the three little animals feel warm and determined to catch fish.
At this time, Conan turned back and asked curiously: "Uncle Qin, if you come here, what will you do with your fishing rod?"
Qin Zhibo touched Conan's little head and said, "Don't worry, uncle, I have Xiaolan to help look after my fishing rod."
"Xiaolan is great. She has already caught four big fish with her own fishing rod."
When Conan heard this, he didn't know why, but he felt inexplicably sour in his heart.
Qin Zhibo didn't care about Conan's unknown jealousy and walked straight to Ayukawa Saori not far away.
"Miss Ayukawa, right?"
Ayukawa Saori turned around in surprise and looked at Qin Zhibo, "Hello, I remember you seem to be the one at the competition venue."
"Yes, we met then."
"Let me introduce myself. My name is Qin Zhibo, and I am a detective."
Upon hearing Qin Zhibo's identity as a detective, Ayukawa Saori's face was shocked, and her eyes looked at the man in front of her in disbelief.
Saori Ayukawa: "Detective"
Qin Zhibo: "." I just reported my identity, why do you want to jump into the wolf?
After two seconds, Ayukawa Saori came back to his senses and said in surprise: "Sorry, I'm just a little surprised. Such a famous detective would actually come to this kind of fishing competition."
Qin Zhibo explained with a smile, "It's normal. According to authoritative research data, most of the world's famous detectives like fishing very much. It can enhance patience and temper your character, and it has many benefits."
Conan was a little surprised: Is that so? It seems that I will have to fish more in the future.
"Huh? Is that so?"
Ayukawa Saori smiled perfunctorily, but actually she was panicking inside.
She never expected that a famous detective would be hiding in this small fishing competition.
Although I have never seen his appearance, the name "Detective Qin Zhihiro" is indeed very popular, and it has been reported in local newspapers in Kanagawa Prefecture.
Yes, she did plan something for this fishing competition - to kill the reporter man who had been threatening her for a long time.
Half a year ago, she and one of her father's apprentices were walking on a mountain road near Lake Aogu, when the male apprentice suddenly confessed her love.
Ayukawa Saori firmly disagreed. During the push and shove between the two parties, the apprentice male was pushed off the cliff and fell onto a moving train. He was taken to another place before falling to the ground.
Although the apprentice's death was deemed an accident by the police, unfortunately, the pushing and shoving between the two parties was witnessed by a reporter nearby.
Therefore, the reporter man kept threatening him about this incident and extorted a lot of money.
Ayukawa Saori realized that if she continued like this, she would be controlled by the journalist man for the rest of her life, and she felt murderous intentions in her heart.
This fishing competition happened to be a good opportunity for her to carry out her murder plan.
But I didn’t expect that a famous detective would appear in the middle of the fishing competition. Who can withstand this?
And I heard that this famous detective has a very high crime detection rate and has solved the tricks of many cases. If he sees it,
Facing Qin Zhibo's approach, Ayukawa Saori's eyes were wandering and she was feeling very tormented inside.
I want to escape from here, but I am afraid that my thoughts will be seen through.
At this time, Ayukawa glanced sideways, and happened to see Ayumi jump from one rock to another, but accidentally missed and slipped from the big rock.
Ayukawa quickly used this excuse to leave, and enthusiastically helped Ayumi clean the wounds, wiped the broken skin on his knees with his own handkerchief, and tried his best to show his kind-hearted side.
Qin Zhibo stood behind, watching silently, and at the same time checked whether the [Starry Sky Fishing Rod] responded.
There was no response. It seemed like it wasn't her.
Even the champion of the last fishing competition was not a "starry sky angler", which made Qin Zhibo feel a little embarrassed for a while.
Are the "Star Anglers" not humans?
Speaking of which, fishing in the starry sky does not sound like something that humans can do.
And even if you find a human being who is a "starry sky fisherman", do you want to give the [starry sky fishing rod] to them?
The use of this prop is really inconvenient.
Although he still couldn't understand the meaning of "starry sky angler", Qin Zhibo decided to continue walking around Aogu Lake.
After leaving Conan and others, Qin Zhibo continued to travel among various fishing guys in the name of "inspecting" fraud.
After sunset and meeting almost all the fishermen, Qin Zhibo finally returned to the fishing spot with Mao Lilan.
Qin Zhibo walked around for almost a day. Mao Lilan had no complaints about this and excitedly led Qin Zhibo to the fish guard.
"Mr. Qin!"
"After you left, a lot of pangasius fish were hooked on your fishing rod, and I helped you catch them all!"
Qin Zhibo took a closer look and saw that his fish guard was full of blue-black spindles rolling.
One fish guard can no longer hold these pangasius fish, and some even overflow the water.
"Thank you, Xiaolan."
"You're welcome, these are the fish caught by Mr. Qin's fishing rod~"
Qin Zhibo thanked him sincerely, slid the fish ashore, picked out the five largest pangasius fish, and released the smaller ones on the spot.
As for the pangasius caught by Mao Lilan, they had already been selected when fishing, and the ones left were not too small.
The two returned to the competition venue with 10 fat pangasius fish, and immediately attracted everyone's surprised eyes.
After being weighed by the tournament party, Qin Zhibo’s pangasius weighed 12,345 grams.
The weight of pangasius caught by Mao Lilan was 12,666 grams, currently ranking first.
"Wow! Xiaolan, when did you learn to fish?"
Yuanzi had a look of disbelief on her face, astonished by the hidden attributes of her newly discovered best friend.
Mao Lilan smiled modestly, "It's not that great. Maybe I just happened to find a good fishing position."
When the fishing guys around me heard this, they couldn't help but secretly want to ask what is the fishing position that is so good.
But at this moment, another surprised voice came from the weighing area.
"13524 grams!"
"As expected of Miss Ayukawa!"
"Miss Ayukawa, maybe you will be the champion this year again!"
The fishing guys gathered around one after another, but Mao Lilan, who was snatched away from the first place, was not angry at all.
“Sure enough, you still have to be professional to be good at fishing.”
In fact, Qin Zhibo observed that some of the fish caught by Mao Lilan with his own fishing rod were obviously heavier than the fish caught by Mao Lilan's fishing rod.
If you add yourself and Mo Lilan's big fish together, they will definitely exceed the weight of Ayukawa.
But Mao Lilan didn't do this.
Moreover, Mao Lilan is used to releasing fish when fishing, and sometimes he misses relatively large fish, leaving smaller fish in the end.
Generally speaking, kindness limits Mao Lilan's performance.
At this moment, the four little ones from the Young Detective Team also came back.
Conan, the leader of the four-man team, took the lead and lowered his head, which made Mao Lilan feel a little distressed.
"What's wrong? Do you feel uncomfortable?"
Conan shook his little head, and Yuanzi next to him noticed the plight of several people.
"Don't you think you have any fish to weigh?"
Mao Lilan was a little surprised when she heard this, "No way, did you really not catch a single fish?"
Qin Zhibo echoed, "No, no, there won't really be an air force."
At this moment, Conan, who always showed a confident face, wanted to find a crack in the ground and crawl into it.
The Air Force is not my fault!
Who said there are no freshwater fish fishing courses in Hawaii?
After the first day of competition, the fishermen came to the hotels near Lake Aogu to rest.
The hotel provides a large number of fish dishes, sashimi, fish soup, grilled fish, and fish stew for dinner. This is a fish hell, and it is said that no fish can come out alive.
After eating all kinds of fish, Qin Zhibo and his party went to the hotel's bathhouse to take a bath.
In the dressing room, Qin Zhibo and Conan bumped into the reporter man again during the day.
I saw that the journalist man seemed to be talking to the pretty boy next to Saori Ayukawa, the fishing champion from the previous year and also the daytime competition venue.
The two of them didn't talk to each other. After saying a few words, the pretty boy walked away angrily.
The reporter scratched his neck and looked gloomy and displeased.
Seeing this posture, Qin Zhibo probably had a set of possible murder logic in his mind.
The winner of the competition the year before last was a pretty boy named Uru Takuya.
The winner of last year's competition was Rena Mizuna No. 2, Saori Ayukawa.
Judging from the attitudes of these two people, it seems that they don't like to see the reporter man.
Could it be that the two of them took turns winning the fishing competition through cheating, and then were discovered by the reporter?
As for the means of cheating, you can actually think of them.
If two people catch five big fish in different places, and when the settlement is about to be settled, wouldn't it increase the probability of winning by concentrating all the big fish on one person?
This logic seems good, but usually cases with Conan present are "choose one of three", but now it's just "choose one of two".
There should be one missing character.
Let's wait a little longer.
Thinking in his mind, Qin Zhibo smiled and stroked Conan's head, and the two walked into the bathhouse together.
After bathing, Qin Zhibo came to the lounge to meet Mao Lilan and others.
Yuanzi left after eating. As the daughter of the sponsor's father, she had a high-end hotel specially provided by the tournament.
Ayukawa Saori also happened to be resting here and was already chatting with Maori Ran.
Qin Zhibo joined the chat group and learned that her father was also an expert in fishing, and that the pretty boy Youliu was one of her father's apprentices.
As for the other apprentice, he is no longer here.
At this moment, the reporter man came to Ayukawa Saori again and invited her to go drinking with her.
Ayukawa refused without hesitation, but was threatened by the reporter man in a strange way.
"What? Is it possible that you don't like drinking with me?"
"Hey, it wouldn't be nice to be so ruthless, right?"
Qin Zhibo looked at Ayukawa Saori, who was struggling, and Uruyu Takuya, who was pretending to be deaf and dumb next to him, and his suspicions became more certain.
It's a pity that the logic is perfect, there are just multiple Conans
