Walking on the streets of Atami, everyone was ready to check every hotel one by one until they found the one that made the postcard with the statue of Atami.
In order to show that his motives were pure and that he was indeed here to travel, Qin Zhibo temporarily bid farewell to Mouri Kogoro and others.
"If you find out where the hotel is, remember to call me."
"Also, if there is an emergency, remember to call me..."
Qin Zhibo waved his hand, turned and left.
Conan stood there with half-moon eyes, helplessly looking at Qin Zhibo's back, secretly complaining in his heart.
Fate? Do you think it is so easy to meet fate?
…
After leaving the large army, Qin Zhibo came to a public phone booth.
In the phone booth, he dialed Haneda Yasuharu's number.
"I'm Qin, and I have some information about the organization I want to tell you."
Qin Zhibo didn't talk nonsense and got straight to the point.
"Ahem." Haneda Yasuharu coughed slightly, "Go on, I'm listening..."
Qin Zhibo subconsciously looked around and then said: "Currently, there are spies from the black organization lurking in the Japanese police, codenamed 'Curaçao'."
"The organization already knows that the Japanese public security will take action against them..."
"There is also a recent plan by the organization to assassinate a candidate congressman. Although I don't know who this person is, I heard that once this congressman takes office, it will be extremely detrimental to the organization."
The person on the other end of the phone was silent for a moment, then murmured: "I understand, I will remind them."
Haneda Yasuharu's answer confirmed that he indeed knew the Japanese police.
Qin Zhibo thought for a moment and then said: "I forgot to tell you recently. Shuichi Akai and the FBI came to Japan. They also came here for the black organization's crimes."
"They came to me not long ago and asked me to help them break the case, but they don't know that I am now in the organization..."
"Oh..." Haneda Yasuharu paused, "So Shuichi is here too, maybe this is fate..."
Yasuharu Haneda's voice was deep, as if her words contained deep meaning.
This reminded Qin Zhibo again of his dead son, Koji Haneda 17 years ago.
Haneda Yasuharu's sigh seemed to be lamenting that Akai Mutake's son had also followed Akai Mutake's old path, as if it was a reincarnation of fate.
This shows that he knows that the murderer of Haneda Koji is from the black organization.
If this is the case, then the person who published that news on the Internet must not be Haneda Yasuharu.
The information leaked on that webpage led the clues to Amanda Hughes' bodyguard "Asaka", which is inconsistent with the facts and is also detrimental to Yasuharu Haneda who wants to redress his son's injustice.
So who edited that page?
And who is "Asaka"?
Could it be that the rum the boss talks about is the so-called "light fragrance"?
The answer to this mystery can only be found after rescuing Hiroki Sawada and using the power of Noah's Ark.
"Okay, that's it. I'll contact you next time. Take care of yourself."
"Well, thank you."
Qin Zhibo hung up the phone and walked out of the phone booth.
Looking at the busy streets around him and the bustling pedestrians walking on the streets for their own purposes, Qin Zhibo decided to take advantage of this rare leisure moment to really relax.
He summoned Minase Harumu, and one person and one ghost began to wander the streets.
…
On the other side, Conan and the others were not as free as Qin Zhibo.
We finally got to Atami, but we couldn’t experience the famous local hot springs. We had to go around asking Kinukawa Kazuki for the origin of the postcards under the bright sun.
But for the sake of the high commission fee, Mouri Kogoro endured all this.
But after asking several hotels in succession, several people got negative answers.
Suddenly, Kinukawa Kazuki saw a passing mother carrying her baby on her chest with a strap, and recalled something in her mind.
In order to promote memories, Kinukawa and Hui raised their hands and asked Mao Lilan for a "hug."
"If you are tired, I can carry you~"
Mao Lilan didn't think much about it, she just felt that the back position should be more comfortable, but Kinukawa and Hui still insisted on hugging.
"Hug, hug, I must give you a hug..."
Conan looked at the kid's clumsy act of coquettishness and looked at it with disdain, not believing that Mao Lilan would agree to his request.
But the next second, Conan was slapped in the face by the speed of light.
"Really, you really know how to act like a baby~"
Mao Lilan smiled and leaned down, stretched out her hand, and really planned to hug Kinukawa and Hui.
Seeing this scene, Conan quickly ran over to stop him, but he was already picked up by Mao Lilan.
Oops! I missed the hug!
Conan was anxious, anxious from the inside out.
But it was useless to be anxious. Kinukawa Kazuhui pointed at the bottom of Mao Lilan's collarbone, "That woman seems to have a mole in this place."
"Because I remember that every time I looked at the mole in front of me, I fell asleep soon after."
"But I was still very young at that time, maybe I have to go a little lower..."
When Conan heard this, he couldn't calm down even more. His face turned red and he thought about the area under Mao Lilan's collarbone.
That's...
"Absolutely not!"
"Huh?" Mao Lilan and Mao Li Kogoro looked at Conan who was so excited that he shouted, and asked doubtfully: "What's wrong?"
"Ah? This..." Conan hesitated, making up a reason at random, "As long as you know the approximate location, you don't have to point it out so clearly!"
At this moment, Conan wished that Qin Zhibo had not left. In that case, with his character, he would definitely speak for him.
…
It was not until dusk that Qin Zhibo was still wandering around the city and Minase Yangmeng had gone back, before Mao Lilan called.
They finally got a positive answer at a hot spring hotel near the hill. The postcard was printed and produced by their hotel.
"Everything is just like Mr. Qin's reasoning. The sales of postcards in this hotel are not good, and many of them are given away to the internal staff."
"This is called Yuya Inn, and its address is..."
After getting the address, Qin Zhibo took a taxi and arrived at his destination soon.
After pushing open the glass door and walking into the hotel, Conan and the others were still sitting on the sofas in the front hall of the hotel without going in.
Mouri Kogoro felt sad again when he saw that Qin Zhibo had taken a taxi alone. It looked like he had spent a day enjoying himself in the city.
It seems that there is indeed no shortage of money...
Before Qin Zhibo came, Mouri Kogoro had already asked the proprietress here. There was no female employee named "Atsuko" here, but there were quite a few mom fans who liked Kinukawa Kazuki.
"That's it for today, stay here tonight, and then officially start looking for someone tomorrow."
After a tiring day, Mouri Kogoro wanted to take a rest early. Anyway, he had a commission fee from a wealthy child star, so he should enjoy it.
Just as Mouri Kogoro walked to the front desk and was about to book a room, another guest came in at the door.
This man was carrying a large satchel, a duffel bag in his right hand, and a ponytail on the back of his head.
Although he has the same hairstyle as Aso, the man's complexion is very hateful, with sparse stubble on his chin and a curved wrinkle on his forehead.
"Young, it seems that the protagonist has already arrived first..."
"There are two famous detectives with you. Are they here to help you find the cruel mother who abandoned you?"
The man's voice was gloomy, and his face looked even more evil and hateful due to the setting sun outside the glass behind him.
When Mouri Kogoro heard this, he looked unhappy, but for the purpose of protecting the client's privacy, he did not answer, but directly asked: "Who are you?"
"hehe……"
"My surname is Yaxia. I am just a guest staying here. I stopped by to check on the situation..."
The man who calls himself "Yaxia" did not reveal his identity.
But Qin Zhibo saw the identity information floating above his head, which read Kamoshita Hohiro, a 37-year-old reporter.
The sudden death rate of ducks?
Of course it is 100%!
With this ghostly name and a dead look on his face, Qin Zhibo guessed that he was probably the deceased today.
Judging from his status as a reporter and what he said, he probably came here for the news about Kinukawa Kazuki’s mother.
Here, Kamoshita was not aware of his fate, and was already locked in when he stepped into the hotel and saw Conan.
He sneered "haha" twice, told the front desk staff the room number 205 he reserved, checked in quickly, and left.
After Kamoshita left, Mouri Kogoro started to check in.
The Maori family and Kinukawa Kazuhui lived in room 308, while Qin Zhibo lived alone in room 310.
Since they were staying in two rooms not far away, the landlady arranged for a waitress with big braids and purple lipstick to send them upstairs.
We first came to room 308. Mouri Kogoro and others walked in. The waiter with big braids stood at the door and began to introduce them.
"This is 308. The bathrobes and quilts are in the closet. Please help yourself."
After saying that, the waitress turned around and left impatiently.
Mouri Kogoro was speechless about the service attitude. Originally, this girl with big braids was quite pretty, but her face always looked like someone owed her money.
"Miss, can you introduce me more clearly?"
Mouri Kogoro raised his eyebrows and protested at the woman's service attitude.
But the braided girl turned around and retorted: "Are you annoyed? We are usually busy enough, how can we have time to spend time with extra guests like you?"
"Don't think that just because you're a celebrity means you're awesome!"
A bombardment of sharp words made Kogoro Mouri lose his temper.
If Kogoro Mouri didn't have a high tolerance for beautiful women other than his wife, he might have complained to her long ago.
Turning around, the braided girl led Qin Zhibo to room 310 again.
"This is room 310. It has the same configuration as the room just now. Please feel free to do it."
The braided girl didn't have a good attitude toward Qin Zhibo, who was traveling with Kinukawa and others, and was completely perfunctory.
"Wait a minute." Qin Zhibo stopped her, "With your attitude, aren't you afraid that I will complain to my boss about you?"
When the braided girl heard this, she stopped and said with a chuckle: "Then you can complain, it's best not to stay in this hotel..."
"Oh, why don't I stay in this hotel?" Qin Zhibo smiled instead of getting angry, "Is it because you are the mother of that child?"
When the braided girl heard this, her face was instantly shocked. She paused for two seconds before she thought of retorting.
"What are you talking about? How could I be the mother of that child!"
Qin Zhibo looked at the waitress named "Sanzhi Chaoxiang" with a bigger smile on his face, "I didn't say which child it was, why are you anxious?"
Three branches of morning incense were unable to refute what Qin Zhibo said, and he gritted his teeth angrily. In the end, he could only leave a sentence of "Whatever you want" and then walked away.
Seeing this attitude, Qin Zhibo could basically identify her as the mother of Kinukawa Kazuhui.
In fact, Qin Zhibo felt a little strange in Mouri Kogoro's room just now.
Because when she said, "Don't think that celebrities are so great," the person she was looking at was not Kogoro Mouri, but Kazuki Kinukawa on the ground.
This shows that what she rejects in her heart is not Moori Kogoro who is questioning his service attitude, but a child who has never spoken to her.
Moreover, she claims to hate celebrities, but she knows this little child star who is not famous all over the country. It is really strange.
So Qin Zhibo tried to test her words just now, and it really exposed her flaw.
As for her arrogant attitude, she probably wanted to avoid contact with Maori and his friends, and she even wanted to use words to stimulate Maori and others to leave the hotel, so she used the word "redundant".
But the strangest thing is that she has been writing letters to her son, but now that her son has found her, she doesn't dare to recognize her?
I guess there is something hidden.
…
Once everyone was settled, it was time for dinner.
At the invitation of Kogoro Mori, Qin Zhibo and he drank two large glasses of beer each at the dinner table.
Mouri Kogoro's drinking capacity was not good. He was already drunk after just one glass of beer, but he still clamored for a second glass. He was the kind of person who enjoyed both food and drink.
Qin Zhibo, on the other hand, rarely drinks, but actually drinks a lot. After two glasses of beer, he doesn't feel drunk at all.
One reason is that because Qin Zhibo has an iron will, it is difficult for wine to have the effect it should have.
Another point is that the original owner of Qin Zhibo's body was a heavy drinker. There used to be a whiskey bottle on his desk. He might have been an even more alcoholic person than Mouri Kogoro.
After drinking the wine, and after waiting for Mouri Kogoro to wake up and drink, they were ready to experience the hotel's open-air hot spring.
On the way to the hot spring, Kinukawa and Hui picked up something like a lid and subconsciously handed it to Mao Lilan.
Mao Lilan looked at the dark cover and wondered: "This should be...the lens cover of the camera, right?"
"Yeah." Qin Zhibo nodded and said, "This should be the cover left on the camera under the duck, right?"
Conan's face was shocked, "How did uncle know?"
"Because he is a reporter, he should have a camera on him, right?"
Conan was a little surprised, but Mao Lilan turned around and said he would run to 205 to send the lid back.
Facing Mao Lilan's back, Qin Zhibo shouted.
"Then thank you for your hard work..."
…
The remaining people came to the front of the bathhouse. When Kogoro Mori opened the door curtain, he saw interesting words.
"It's a mixed bath!"
The excited Mouri Kogoro woke up instantly, yelled, and rushed towards the bathing place with two big hairy legs, shouting "I don't know if there is anyone in there" while running.
Qin Zhibo was a little helpless. He heard that women in mixed bathing in Japan were either obasans or monkeys. As a Japanese LSP, he didn't know this?
Conan next to him was extremely disgusted with the uncle, and thought to himself: It's so late, how could there be anyone still bathing in the hot spring?
Unlike Qin Zhibo, who is also an uncle, he doesn't care about those things at all.
Conan turned to look at Qin Zhibo. Compared with Mouri Kogoro, Qin Zhibo just walked behind and followed silently, even folding his hands and putting them in his sleeves.
But when Kogoro Mori was the first to rush into the bathhouse, he really won the lottery.
"Wow!"
In the middle of the steaming hot spring pool, there were actually three ladies taking a bath.
The three women were the hotel proprietress, the girl with big braids, and a girl with short hair that Qin Zhibo had never seen before.
In the mist, the bodies of the three people were looming between the water and the mist, which was quite interesting.
Seeing some men come in, some of the pretty girls with braids and short hair were still a bit covered up, but the lady boss didn't reject them at all, and even smiled and invited Kinukawa and Fai to come down and have a bath together.
But with such a beautiful scenery, Qin Zhibo had no intention of taking off his clothes. Instead, he wore a bathrobe and counted down silently in his heart.
Three, two, one...
Call!
As soon as the voice in Qin Zhibo's heart fell, a piercing scream came from upstairs.
"ah--!"
The scream was extremely penetrating, penetrating the floor and clearly reaching the ears of everyone in the bathhouse.
