Gin and Vodka did not get out of the car immediately, but sat in the car and carefully observed the movement.
The car on the other side turned off its high beam, and a few seconds passed before turning off the car.
Beep.
There were two more short horn blasts, and the other party seemed to be urging us to get out of the car first.
Gin gritted his teeth slightly, and the skin on his temples squirmed. With his unruly nature, one of the things he hated the most was people honking at him.
Also, someone pointed a gun at his head.
However, considering that the other party might be the person assigned by the boss, he still suppressed his anger and pushed open the car door.
Vodka also opened the door and got out of the car, while Michael sat in the car.
Coming to the seventh turn in Yeshan, two cars, one black and one white, were parked on the side of the road facing each other strangely.
To show their sincerity, Gin and Vodka got out of the car first. The cool breeze blew their clothes. Gin's waist-length blond hair and Vodka's black sunglasses looked very performance art.
The two of them stood on either side of the front of the Porsche, waiting for people to get out of the other person's car.
A few seconds later, the other party's car clicked and the door opened.
A somewhat bloated man got out of the car, wearing a dark brown windbreaker and a dark brown cowboy hat on his head.
As for the face under the brim of the hat, although it is covered by a black mask, you can guess just by looking at the exposed part that it is a middle-aged man with an undistinguished appearance.
His hands naturally hang at his sides, with his palms barely touching his trouser line. He looks a bit silly overall, like a fat penguin with limited mobility.
Seeing that such a man was actually the man who the boss said rescued Belmod from the FBI, both Gin and Vodka frowned slightly, feeling a little incredible.
This figure is not the same as Vodka's burly figure. Although he is not obese, it is definitely a lack of exercise.
And the driving skills are also appalling.
The only thing worth mentioning is his height, which is about the same as Gin.
"Brother..."
Vodka glanced at Gin. He didn't believe that the person in front of him was the person whom he had suddenly arranged to meet in the middle of the night.
This guy doesn't seem to be awesome, and he can't possibly do anything awesome like a single pass through the FBI.
Facing his younger brother's doubts, Ginjiu also had the same doubts in his heart.
If this person was not the contact person, he would not hesitate to take out the pistol in his pocket and shoot this person in the head.
Anyway, this is a wilderness. If you kill someone and then leave, no one will be able to trace you.
"Where is that woman?"
Gin asked first, and his cold voice broke the silence.
The middle-aged man opposite paused for a moment, then suddenly reached for his pocket.
This sensitive movement caused a stress reaction in Gin and Vodka, and they quickly reached for their guns and pointed them at the opponent.
But when the other party took out the thing, it was just a palm-sized black notepad.
The middle-aged man wrote a few words on the notepad and showed it to Gin and Vodka.
Taking advantage of the weak moonlight, Gin and Vodka squinted their eyes and saw a few crooked words on it.
[People in the trunk]
Seeing this sentence, Gin turned his head and gestured to Vodka.
Vodka quickly put away his pistol, ran to the trunk behind the white car, opened it, and found a woman curled up inside. Her delicate face was easy to identify.
"Brother! It's Belmode!"
When Gin heard this, he also put away his gun and went to the trunk to check. After confirming that it was Belmode, he opened his big hands and took the person out.
Vodka looked at Gin who picked up Belmode himself, swallowed his saliva, and followed.
Opening the rear door of the Porsche 356A, Gin stuffed Belmode in and then sat in the front passenger seat.
"Vodka, drive quickly."
Vodka was very obedient, started the car, reversed and turned smoothly, and fled the scene at the speed of light.
By the time the middle-aged man finished writing "Where's that thing?" on his notepad and displayed it, the Porsche 356A had already driven away.
Looking at the bare road, the naive middle-aged man looked messy in the wind.
…
In the Porsche 356A, Qin Zhibo looked at Belmod who was still unconscious next to him, feeling extremely angry in his heart.
Gin, the eldest grandson, never mentioned the "fragments" at all!
If you take Belmod and run away, you don't take Minase Harumu seriously at all!
The middle-aged man who deals with gin is none other than Minase Yomu driving the "Qin Kibo". With some minor decorations, he looks like a fool.
But I didn’t expect that Gin would actually treat people like fools.
But from the previous conversation between gin and vodka in the car, Qin Zhibo had some guesses that the boss might not have told them about the "Panest Fragments".
The boss's original words should have just asked Gin to bring Belmode back to the agreed place.
As for the method used, whether it is a normal transaction or a robbery, it doesn't matter.
So when Gin asked whether vodka should be discontinued, Gin replied, "It depends on the situation."
The so-called "depending on the situation" means to see whether the other party is cooperative.
I have to say that the boss’s plan was really good. No wonder he agreed so decisively at the beginning. It turned out that this was a sure-fire deal for him.
What a thief!
But fortunately, Qin Zhibo didn't completely expect the boss of an evil organization to abide by the agreement. His original plan was to use Michael's identity to make a deal with Belmode.
"Brother, where are you going now?"
"Send this woman to see 'that adult'."
As he said that, Gin glanced at Michael, the boss's confidant, who was sitting in the back seat.
Seeing that Michael didn't express his intention to go with him, he stopped taking him with him.
After all, it was quite stupid to expose the Jin Yiwei beside him in front of the emperor.
When the Porsche 356A arrived in the city, Gin asked Vodka to find a place on the side of the road and put Qin Zhibo down.
But before getting out of the car, Qin Zhibo had already attached a "Detective's Listening Device" to Belmod's body.
…
Back at the detective agency, Qin Zhibo was exhausted after a busy day and quickly took a shower to get ready for bed.
Minase Yomu also drove Matsumoto Ryohei's car slowly back home at this time.
Since the Tulpa was created by gathering the knowledge of many believers, Minase Yomu can drive, but he has never actually operated it, which makes him seem less proficient.
"The long-haired man was so malicious! It almost scared me to death!"
Yang Meng complained about Ginjiu to Qin Zhibo, but she didn't know that Ginjiu really had the intention to kill her at that time.
However, even if you kill her, there is no such thing as death for a ghost. "Qin Jibo" is a decoy doll, born for death.
"No! Uncle! You must make it up to me!"
"You are a ghost, why are you afraid of a human being?"
"I don't care, I want compensation!"
The girl's ghost kept spinning in the air, resembling a human child rolling around.
Qin Zhibo comforted him with a few words and increased his daily free time to two and a half hours, which made up for Minase Yomeng's mental trauma.
After dealing with this, Qin Zhibo could sleep peacefully.
…
At noon, Qin Zhibo woke up from the warm big bed.
The first thing you do when you wake up is listen to what's going on in Belmode.
However, there was silence.
Listening carefully, there seems to be a low hum of an engine, it must be a car.
In order to keep an eye on when Belmod saw the boss, Qin Zhibo woke up several times while sleeping to listen to what was going on over there.
But several times it was the sound of cars.
Qin Zhibo came downstairs, fed Jerry some melon seeds, then took out the rice balls from the refrigerator, sat at his desk, and turned on the computer.
Yesterday, I played "Akai Muwu" and although I deceived Shuichi Akai, there was one thing that made Qin Zhibo a little concerned.
Last night Akai Shuichi said, "Is this related to the case you left home to investigate 17 years ago?"
Qin Zhibo only knew that Akai Muwu disappeared a long time ago, but he did not know the specific time and reason.
This time, through Akai Shuichi's unintentional revelation, we finally got some clues.
17 years ago, investigating the case.
These two points reveal two pieces of information respectively.
The first is to investigate the case. If Akai Mutake can investigate the case, it means that this person's job should also be related to detectives.
It may be an official detective or an unofficial detective.
In addition, Qin Zhibo felt a little familiar at this time point 17 years ago, as if he had heard it somewhere.
Qin Zhibo opened the browser's search history, browsed through it one by one, and searched.
Until such a piece of information came into view - Amanda Hughes' biography.
Qin Zhibo once investigated this person's information. She appeared in Mrs. Mamiya's Antarctic expedition notes and was the main sponsor of the Miskatonic University Antarctic expedition in 1931.
After that Antarctic expedition, the Amanda Foundation founded by her took away the important biological samples of the expedition, namely the few dead ancients.
Since one of Qin Zhibo's main tasks is to see the Ancient One with his own eyes, he must first find Amanda Hughes.
[In view of the general environment, this site may be closed at any time. Please move to the permanently operating source-changing App, huanyuanapp.org as soon as possible]
However, Amanda was killed 17 years ago at the age of 83.
This clue was originally cut off, but Qin Zhibo learned another important clue in a conversation with Randy Hawke of the Randy Hawke Circus not long ago.
Amanda Hughes is an American capitalist on the surface, but secretly she is the daughter of one of the nine founders of Nine Angels.
Was Amanda Hughes 17 years ago the case that Akai Takeshi wanted to investigate?
Qin Zhibo suddenly thought of another key name, which is "Haneda Koji".
Koji Haneda was a Japanese shogi player who died at the same time as Amanda Hughes, but Qin Zhibo did not pay attention to this person before.
But if you think of Akai Taketake, you have to think of another person in the photo of the three in Hawaii, Haneda Yasharu.
Koji Haneda and Yasuharu Haneda have the same surname, plus this special time 17 years ago...
It seems a bit coincidental.
It can't be such a coincidence, right?
Qin Zhibo entered "Koji Haneda" in the browser box again, searched, and several related web pages popped up.
Koji Haneda, a four-time shogi champion and the closest to a seven-time genius shogi player, went to the United States 17 years ago to participate in a chess competition out of interest and died in his hotel room the night before the competition.
This is information that Qin Zhibo searched for before, and the content is nothing special.
However, this search revealed some additional content that I had not seen before.
[The hotel where Haneda Koji was staying at that time was called "JUKE", and his room was quite messy. When he was killed, it seemed that Haneda had resisted, but the direct cause of death is unknown]
Underneath this message, the web page creator seemed to have a purpose and posted Amanda's information below.
[On the same day, American capitalist Amanda Hughes was killed in another room in the same hotel, and the cause of death remains a mystery]
[Amanda is a loyal fan of Haneda, and the two have communicated before. After that day, the personal bodyguard Amanda brought there disappeared from sight]
[Therefore, the police regarded Amanda's bodyguard called "Asaka" as the most important suspect and traced his whereabouts, but there is still no news yet]
The above is the entire content of the webpage, which is information that Qin Zhibo has searched for before but has not seen.
If we assume that the case Akai Mutake investigated 17 years ago is this, Haneda Koji should be Haneda Yasharu's son.
It is possible that Haneda Yasuharu asked Akai Mutake to investigate this case. After all, this case is still a headless case to this day.
As for why I didn't ask "myself", the original owner of the body 17 years ago was probably still in college and did not meet this condition.
This logic seems to make sense.
But what Qin Zhibo doesn't understand about this incident is that this web page seems to have been created by someone recently.
It is very strange that a shogi celebrity from 17 years ago had his own web page.
After all, this is an incident that happened 17 years ago, and it didn’t happen in Japan. How could anyone still pay attention to it now?
Moreover, this person published the information of this case online in batches within a short period of time, which is also very suspicious.
There are two possibilities. One is that this person is still investigating this case and publishes what he investigates online every time.
The other is that this person has known all the secrets for a long time, but chose to slowly release the contents of the file online.
Who is this guy?
If this person is found, the case may make great progress.
Qin Zhibo thought for a while, if he used the power of "Noah's Ark", he should be able to trace the initiator of publishing this information.
However, "Noah's Ark" is still in the hands of "Green Signal". Qin Zhibo commissioned Suzuki Sonoko to use the software obtained from Taku Itakura to restart the "Cocoon" game console, but no news has been received yet.
Even though Suzuki Sonoko now informs her that she is ready, she has not yet bought the [Oath Keeper Sword] and does not dare to easily enter the game world controlled by the "green signal".
The price of the Oathkeeper Sword is 12,000 general proficiency, which allows the Oathkeeper to gain the ability to slay evil heretics.
But during this period, I have been busy jumping between the organization and the FBI, and I have no time to follow the "Death Group". As a result, my proficiency level is currently only 2873.
It seems it's time to follow the "group"...
Just when Qin Zhibo was thinking about when he would have a "accidental" encounter with Conan, the sounds in his ears finally changed.
The car engine was turned off and the door was opened.
Going up the steps, the footsteps of other people followed.
After more than a minute of footsteps, Belmod's voice sounded in a somewhat empty place.
"I'm back, Boss."
After two seconds, an old-sounding voice slowly sounded.
