Qin Zhibo recalled that at that time, cult member Aunt Lin once said that in order to summon the evil god to the earth, they used the secret technique of Tulpa to create Minase Yangmu as the body of the evil god.
Minase Harumu's body must have the same characteristics as the evil god, and to some extent, he and the scar-faced man Jason have the same power.
Otherwise, wouldn't it be enough for the cult members to just grab an ordinary person and let the evil god possess him directly?
If this is the case, the scar-faced man can see Minase Harumu, maybe not because he can see ghosts.
Strangely enough, Minase Harumu's ability is night vision, and the scar-faced man's ability is to see ghosts. Both of their special abilities are related to vision.
So what kind of evil god is this?
"Mr. Qin, thank you for telling us this important information."
"Although it's a pity that I can't take revenge personally, it must be that that person has done all the bad things before he will be avenged by the messenger of justice..."
Qin Zhibo disagrees with Randy Hawke's words. The enemy of a bad person may not be a good person, but may also be another group of bad people.
Randy Hawke paused and continued: "As a thank you, we will also tell you a piece of information equally. Maybe the Nine Angels behind you will be interested."
"I wonder if you have ever heard of the organization 'Brotherhood of Beasts'?"
Qin Zhibo thought for a moment, isn't this an organization whose members are all named after animals? Among them, the one who impressed Qin Zhibo the most was Snake Zhang Dapao.
"Heard something."
Randy Hawke's eyes showed a trace of admiration, "As far as we know, the Beast Brotherhood will seize the gem 'Crimson Tears' from the leader of the Hobo Thaumaturgy Troupe in tomorrow's performance."
gem?
This seems to be Kidd's job...
"How did you get this information?" Qin Zhibo asked, actually wanting to know whether the source of the information was reliable.
Randy Hawke's beard trembled slightly and he smiled: "Our organization also has its own intelligence network, and we happen to be familiar with it in Europe..."
"Of course, we have also informed the leader of the Hobo Thaumaturgy Troupe about this news, but the leader doesn't seem to care who the gem belongs to."
"Now I'm telling you this information. As for what you want to do, it's entirely up to you."
...
It was already late at night when we came out of the Tokyo Zoo.
Randy Hawke sent someone to drive Qin Zhibo to the parking lot of Abedo Theater. After paying a large parking fee, Qin Zhibo drove a convertible back to his office in Mihua alone.
After crossing the Tsumutsu River, we returned to Rice Flower from Acupido, and it seemed like we had entered another world.
Different from the bustling night scene of Abeido, the late night of Mihua is very quiet, so quiet that it is even scary.
Almost all shops are closed, and there are very few pedestrians and private cars on the road. Only a few taxis are driving late at night, carefully maintaining the minimum indicators stipulated by the municipal government.
After parking the car nearby and returning to the downstairs of the office, Qin Zhibo found a familiar Ford pickup parked unexpectedly next to the convenience store opposite the office.
Qin Zhibo stopped at the stairs and stared at the car.
The dark car door opened from the inside, and a tall figure stepped out of the car. It was Shuichi Akai.
Qin Zhibo looked at the man in the knitted hat who was gradually approaching, and his heart stabilized, he was finally coming.
Shuichi Akai put his hands in his pockets and walked up to Qin Zhibo. He first looked up at the "Zhibo Detective Agency" on the glass on the second floor.
“Nice firm.”
"Thank you for the compliment."
"Why did you leave the FBI in the first place?"
After just a polite word, Akai Shuichi went directly to the topic, catching Qin Zhibo a little off guard.
Qin Zhibo also roughly knows something about the reason why the original owner of the body left Japan.
There is an unsigned letter in the drawer of the office, saying, "If you want to know the truth, you can come to me in Japan." The contact person's name is Hondo Ekai.
Qin Zhibo didn't understand the specific meaning of this letter, but judging from the time point four years ago, this should be the reason why he came to Japan.
However, the original owner's contact with Hondo Yinghai must have been unsuccessful, otherwise it would not have been so long, and no one named "Hondo Yinghai" has contacted him, and even the phone number on the letter was blacked out.
Of course, even if he knew these things, there was no need to tell the former colleague in front of him, otherwise it would be troublesome if other issues were involved.
"I just want to change my mood. FBI work is a bit boring..."
Seeing Qin Zhibo's serious expression, Akai Shuichi's eyes moved slightly, but he still accepted the explanation.
After all, Vince Chin is a mixed-race Japanese and American. He wants to come to Japan to change his life. Shuichi Akai, who is also a mixed-race, cannot understand.
"Then are you interested in switching back now?" Akai Shuichi asked again.
Qin Zhibo's voice trembled slightly, but the expression on his face remained calm, "Are you inviting me to return to the FBI?"
"That's understandable."
"I reject."
Hearing Qin Zhibo's rejection without thinking, Akai Hideyoshi was shocked and couldn't believe his ears.
Although Qin Zhibo said that he was tired of working at the FBI, after all, this was a position that he once loved and had achieved great results, so he should still have some feelings for it.
I didn't expect him to refuse so decisively.
"Don't you think about it any more?" Akai Shuichi asked again.
"No." Qin Zhibo smiled and shook his head, "Now my life is very comfortable. Every day I just look for pets, catch affairs, and occasionally solve some human lives. This is my daily life."
"I'm very happy and honored that you chose to invite me back."
"But unfortunately, I am just an ordinary private detective now, and I am afraid I am no longer qualified to handle the FBI's tasks."
"But I will still wish you good luck."
Saying that, Qin Zhibo patted Akai Shuichi twice on the shoulder, just like an old-timer would do to a newcomer.
Akai Shuichi's lips moved slightly, and he wanted to say something, but he swallowed the words as soon as they reached his lips.
"I will convey your words and take my leave."
After saying that, Akai Shuichi left without looking back.
Back in the car, James Blake anxiously asked Shuichi Akai about the result of his "re-employment", and received the same negative answer.
"He rejected our proposal."
"oh?"
James in the passenger seat frowned and fell into thinking.
In fact, it often happens that some special agencies in the United States encounter difficult tasks and re-hire employees who have resigned or retired.
As shown in many American action blockbusters, the male protagonist is an agent, special forces member, police detective, etc. who has special skills. After leaving the unit, he originally lived a leisurely life. Suddenly one day, he was reinstated because of a difficult incident.
Recruited to perform tasks, a typical Hollywood plot of The Return of the King.
This mission is very challenging for the FBI.
The difficulty of catching Gin is extremely difficult. The FBI failed once in the United States. This time, it was a secret arrest operation without notifying the Japanese police. It had no law enforcement power and could only cover up the operation.
This morning, after seeing with his own eyes that Vince Chin's skills and thinking had not deteriorated with his post-employment life, James became interested in talents and wanted to bring this person back to the FBI for re-employment.
Under the current circumstances, Vince Qin, who is very close to the Japanese police and has a suitable identity as a cover, is undoubtedly a very important talent and can also be said to be a necessary chess piece to complete the mission.
Out of these considerations, James decided to invite the former FBI ace back to participate in the mission of capturing Gin.
Unexpectedly, what I got was rejection.
"I'll invite him in person in two days. He should be able to sell me this face..."
Just like in the American blockbuster, James thought that as long as his former boss personally took action, Qin Zhibo would agree like the leading actor in the movie.
But Akai Shuichi shook his head indifferently, "No, it's useless."
He lit the cigarette in his hand and took a leisurely puff, "As long as it is something Qin decides, he will not change his mind. It will be in vain for you to go."
"Besides, he might also have something to do that he thinks is right..."
Akai Shuichi took one last look at the detective office on the second floor across the street, stepped on the accelerator, and left.
At the same time, Qin Zhibo stood in front of the window of the detective office, watching the Ford pickup truck leave the street through the gap in the blinds.
In fact, as Akai Shuichi said, he is indeed busy with things now, but he does not have time to worry about the FBI's tasks.
Snap.
Qin Zhibo let go of the blinds, sat on the boss's chair, and started operating the computer that was already turned on.
Enter [Hobo Thaumaturgy Troupe] in the search bar, and a lot of related search content pops up on the page, which shows that its popularity in Japan is quite good.
The so-called thaumaturgy troupe is actually a magic troupe. It is a performing arts group that focuses on magic. It is essentially similar to Hawke's Circus.
Click on the first one, which is a recent news about the Hobo Thaumaturgy Troupe.
"Shocking! Kaitou Kidd declares war again, the target is: the world's largest ruby from the Hob Thaumaturgy Group!"
Seeing this news, Qin Zhibo couldn't help but complain in his heart. Kidd has a very keen sense of smell. Wherever there are gems, he can be found.
But in fact, Terai Huangnosuke was responsible for collecting the information on the gems. Kidd usually went to school and had little time to search for theft targets.
Slide the mouse wheel, and below is a photo of the current leader of the Hobo Thaumaturgy Troupe being interviewed by the media.
The leader of the thaumaturgy troupe in the photo is named Judy Hooper. She is a typical blonde beauty with the same hairstyle as Haibara Ai.
What stitch monster?
Qin Zhibo complained and continued to read the following content.
Like many victims who bought insurance in advance, Judy Hooper said that she had long wanted to see the magic thief in the world and asked him to come over.
The preview letter for Kaitou Kidd will be tomorrow, which is the same day as the Beast Brotherhood's release date.
Since nearly arresting Spider last time, this organization has disappeared for a while, and now it has reappeared.
However, it is estimated that the person who snatched the gem this time was not a heavyweight like Spider or Shi Kaobing, but Zhang Dapao, codenamed Snake.
Qin Zhibo had no interest in trying to arrest a small character like Zhang Dapao.
Because for a little guy like him, the Beast Brotherhood has as many as they want, so catching him won't have much effect.
Previously, Kaitou Kidd placed a police tracker on the fake "Blue Birthday", hoping to use Zhang Dapao's guidance to wipe out the entire organization.
But when we got there, we realized that the boss behind the Beast Brotherhood was not accessible to members of Zhang Dapao's level, so it was meaningless for the police to arrest him.
And later intelligence also showed that the Beast Brotherhood was a very large organization, with its headquarters in Europe, and the Japanese police could not do anything.
Instead of grabbing the mediocre Zhang Dapao and replacing the Beast Brotherhood with more capable members, it would be better to let Zhang Dapao continue to be the collector of gems.
This will at least ensure that Kaito Kidd can obtain the gem first every time and determine whether the gem is the "Stone of Life - Pandora".
As long as you master this stone, you will truly have the capital to fight against the Beast Brotherhood.
When Halley's Comet returns, the real boss of the Beast Brotherhood, the mysterious "Baron Hauptmann", has to show up.
Qin Zhibo looked at the time in the lower right corner of the computer screen. It was already late at night, and it was too late to call Kidd to inform him of the incident.
Since Kidd has already sent a notice letter, let’s wait until tomorrow night to see you again.
...
The next day, Qin Zhibo called early in the morning to book tickets at the hotel where the Hobo Magic Troupe would perform that evening, but received a reply that all tickets for the restaurant tonight had been sold.
The waiter replied that it was mainly because they heard that Kaitou Kidd would appear tonight, and many Kaitou Kidd fans had bought up all the restaurant tickets in advance.
After all, this is an opportunity to see Kaitou Kid up close, and it’s a bonus that Kid fans shouldn’t miss.
Just when Qin Zhibo was about to call Nakamori Ginzo to ask if he still needed help from a member of the "foundation team", a call from Cheng Shi gave Qin Zhibo new hope.
"Well...I heard that Kaitou Kidd will appear at Ekoda's Port Hotel tonight, so I booked a ticket for dinner there..."
"Excuse me, are you free?"
Aso Michiru's voice was a little twitchy. This was the first time he invited Qin Zhibo to dinner, and it was a restaurant like that, so he was always a little embarrassed.
Qin Zhibo thought about it, Cheng Shi seemed to have been a fan of Kaitou Kidd before, and it was through him that he learned about Kaitou Kidd. It was normal for him to be star-chasing this time, and he was able to save his face and ask Nakamori Ginsan to help him.
After all, Nakamori Ginzo has always been a bit of a "ground-breaking agent" who cannot be seen by the public. If it weren't for the order of his previous boss, Inspector Chaki, he would not bother to cooperate with detectives and the like.
"Of course I'm free! I'll pick you up from your hospital in the evening."
Upon hearing this reply, Aso Michiru, who was still nervous a second ago, immediately showed an extremely happy smile and said "hmm" with all his strength.
Nurse Miyuki Shiotani looked at the happy Aso and showed a knowing smile.
It seems that Dr. Chengshi has also found his own happiness...
