"Aha?"
Qin Zhibo frowned slightly and looked at Qianye in front of him, not knowing what he was planning.
Are you pretending to have amnesia?
But judging from the dull expression, it doesn't look like it, unless his character card has the Arts and Crafts (Performance) skill.
"You really don't remember me?"
"Qianye" shook his head and said nonchalantly: "Sorry sir, I really don't have any relevant information about you in the knowledge I have come across..."
"If what you are talking about is the troubles encountered by the original owner of this body, those have nothing to do with me."
"I just obeyed the contract with Mr. Kato, that's all."
After saying that, "Qianye" turned around numbly and was about to leave in another direction.
Qin Zhibo's brain quickly thought about what "Qianye" said and noticed the key points.
What is "the contract with Mr. Kato"?
Does this have anything to do with what Kato said, "Chiba is an accomplice"?
At this moment, Chiba Kazuki seems to have another soul living in his body, not the detective Chiba Kazuki of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department Investigation Section 1 that he is familiar with.
And this "soul" must know the truth of the matter.
"Hey! Wait a minute!"
"You can't leave..."
Qin Zhibo ran two steps quickly, stepped forward and grabbed "Qianye"'s shoulders, trying to keep him behind.
But "Chiba" turned around and took out a metal tube-like object similar to a pocket pistol from his trouser pocket and pointed it at Qin Zhibo's body.
Looking at the black hole at the mouth of the pipe, he didn't know what would come out of it in the next second. Qin Zhibo could only freeze his body and stood there without daring to move rashly.
"Sir, I don't want to cause trouble, but I've already told you what I know, so why do you bother?"
"Yeah?"
Qin Zhibo's iron will kept his face calm and asked: "Who are you? You haven't said this yet, have you?"
"If you don't tell me who you are, there will be many people like me who don't know the situation..."
After a brief exchange with the strange soul in Qianye's body, Qin Zhibo has noticed some of this soul's personality characteristics.
This soul has strong rationality, but it is different from the human thinking model.
It seems that his understanding of human society is limited to knowledge and lacks practice.
In this case, all I have to do is obey his ideas.
"If you tell me the current situation in Chiba, I can help you tell it to others."
"They won't come to trouble you again..."
Social Skills (Persuasion): Success!
Under Qin Zhibo's persuasion, "Qianye" slowly put down the metal pipe in his hand.
His eyes stared straight at Qin Zhibo without any expression. After a few seconds, his lips opened.
"I'm not human."
"I am a spiritual being who came here from a place that you humans cannot understand..."
After hearing these words, the expression on Qin Zhibo's face was calmer than expected.
I don’t know why, but after experiencing some things, when I hear these things again, I always feel like “Oh, so that’s how it is”.
Seeing that Qin Zhibo had no strong reaction or even no reaction at all, "Qianye" became a little uneasy.
….
"Don't you believe it?"
Qin Zhibo: "No, I believe it."
"Oh, that's really a pity. If you don't believe it...eh? Do you believe it?"
Qin Zhibo nodded, "Why don't you believe it? You said it so scientifically."
"So, why are you here? And why is Chiba?"
"Qianye" paused for a moment and continued expressionlessly: "The reason why I came to the earth in this era can now be told
you. "
"Our race has long relied on the shadow of time to project the spirit into the bodies of other species, replacing the original consciousness of the host, to continue the future of our race."
"Currently, our race has discovered that time in this era has dual attributes of order and chaos, causing the shadow of time to pass extremely slowly, equivalent to a large-scale 'time stagnation block,' which is very suitable for our race to create a relatively long-lasting period in this era. civilization."
"As a race's time and space examiner, I have traveled across time and dimensions to examine the livability of this world."
After Qin Zhibo patiently listened to these words, he didn't feel nonsense at all, but was a little moved.
It turns out that you also feel that the passage of time in this world is abnormal!
Comrade!
It's not me who's wrong! It’s this world!
At this moment, Qin Zhibo almost burst into tears, but he still held back his tears.
"Ahem...what's the name of your race? Can you tell me?"
"Yin, Si."
[Ding—Acquire 400 points of mysterious mythological knowledge and skill proficiency]
Qin Zhibo's brain was shocked and he noticed the new prompt that the system popped up.
It seems that this spiritual entity calling itself "Yin Si" is not lying. Their race really exists.
"What about the original owner of this body? Why did you choose him?" Qin Zhibo asked again.
"Chiba" shook his head and replied: "Sorry, this matter involves many secrets that cannot be told. According to the contract, I cannot reveal it easily."
Qin Zhibo thought for a while. He knew very little about this "Yin Si" now. It used Qianye's body, and he couldn't force it to confess anything. It would be better to try to get as much information as possible that could be made public.
"What about the consciousness of the owner of this body? Isn't your spirit replaced with his? Where will his consciousness go?"
"Qianye" shook his head a little, "The human consciousness will enter my original body, where he can know everything he needs to know to ensure that his spirit will not collapse. But I am afraid that that knowledge will not be able to bring it with me in the end. return......"
After saying that, "Qianye" imitated the appearance of humans and waved stiffly towards Qin Zhibo.
"Goodbye, sir."
"Chiba" turned around and left, disappearing around the corner of the street in a moment.
Qin Zhibo froze in place and did not move for a long time.
Until a cold feeling stimulated the skin on his face.
Looking up, I saw light snow falling in the dark sky.
...
At Shinagawa Municipal Hospital, Qin Zhibo rushed there.
From Minase Yangmeng's call, Qin Zhibo learned that all injured people were receiving medical treatment here.
Pushing open Ward 404, Genta and Mitsuhiko were lying on the beds inside, with Maori Ran, Conan, Ayumi and Minase Yomu standing around them.
….
The two little ones had gauze wrapped around their heads, but they were in good spirits. They were eagerly discussing the plot of tonight's episode of Masked Superman.
Seeing Qin Zhibo walk in, the two people lying on the hospital bed looked happy and asked quickly.
"Uncle! Have the bad guys been caught?"
"without......"
Hearing such an answer, Qin Zhibo thought that the two children would be depressed for a while, but unexpectedly they became even more excited.
"Great! When I go out, I will catch that bad guy with my own hands! How dare you push me... Hey, my head..."
Yuan Taiyi was anxious and excited, his blood surged up, and his head that had just calmed down began to hurt again.
Mao Lilan came over and told Qin Zhibo about the two of them. They had mild concussions, and the doctor said the problem was not serious.
"What about you?" Qin Zhibo turned to ask Mao Lilan.
"There's nothing wrong with me." Mao Lilan smiled and shook her head, "I just accidentally got knocked unconscious by that spray..."
At this moment, a
Minase Youmu who was standing next to him suddenly came up to him and raised an arm excitedly, "And me! And me!"
Qin Zhibo glanced sideways, "Why are you the only one left?"
Minase Yomu was obviously a big kid, but he showed a jealous expression like a child, "Of course, why don't you ask me how I am?"
Qin Zhibo sweated and said speechlessly: "You haven't done anything. You are just like a human being. What do you have to ask?"
"Ah! What a heartless uncle?~"
Minase Youmeng hugged her arms, and she seemed to be arrogant and angry, and her expression of crossing too quickly made Maori Landu amused.
In this happy atmosphere, Conan was the only one with a straight face, thinking about something that seemed unbelievable to him.
Qin Zhibo didn't catch the prisoner?
It's really strange... With Lao Qin's strength, he would almost never miss.
In Conan's impression, as long as Qin Zhibo takes action, incidents and other incidents will be no problem, and emergencies can be handled properly.
This also cultivated Conan's idea of "showing off" after noticing the man "Mouri Kogoro" without tools during the fishing competition - it doesn't matter, Qin Zhibo will take action anyway.
But this time, the prisoner who seemed to be just an ordinary company employee was able to escape from Qin Zhibo.
Conan's lips parted slightly, and he was about to ask specifically how the prisoner escaped.
But when I thought about the amazing qualities that I and Qin Zhibo had when tracking the prisoner together, I still felt like forgetting it.
If Qin Zhibo feels embarrassed and doesn't want to talk about it, he will make fun of his identity.
Anyway, Qin Zhibo's character is worthy of his trust, so let's just treat it as a small mistake this time.
...
While waiting for a few hours in the hospital, Takagi came over to understand the situation in person and made notes for several people.
From the "tight-lipped" Takagi, Qin Zhibo and Conan learned about the latest investigation status from the police.
First of all, after a joint search by Kanagawa and Tokyo police, the clothes Akira Kato wore when he escaped have been found somewhere along the coast of Tokyo Bay.
Secondly, in order to lock incriminating evidence, the police examined the fingerprints on the prohibited children's photos, but discovered something surprising.
The fingerprints on the photo belong to Chiba Kazunobu.
….
And in every corner and object of the entire apartment, the police forensics section could not find a single fingerprint of Akira Kato.
In other words, where the two spent time together, Kato Akira did not leave any fingerprints, not even suspected making tools.
This situation has caused great trouble to the criminals. In the absence of corresponding irrefutable evidence, the authorities will not approve the arrest warrant application.
Therefore, the police currently need to find the missing Chiba and Nobu as soon as possible to establish and consolidate the criminal evidence.
"By the way, do you know where Chiba went?" Takagi asked casually as he packed up the police manual.
"I don't know..." n
Except for Qin Zhibo, none of these people really knew.
Qin Zhibo had already thought about how to deal with the police, which was to pretend not to know.
After all, it is difficult to tell ordinary people about this kind of thing, saying that Chiba's body is occupied by a spiritual life form? Are you kidding me?
Moreover, the reasons behind this matter seem to be very complicated, and even involve the "Yin Si" life form. With the power of the police, I am afraid it will not be so easy to investigate the truth.
In other words, what limits the police's search capabilities is the backward materialistic thinking.
If you don't believe in "magic", "witchcraft", "contract", etc., how can you catch Kato Akira?
...
After sending Takagi away, such a "fulfilling" day was over, and it was time for everyone to go back to their homes and find their mothers.
Since the incident in the haunted bungalow, Qin Zhibo saw the parents of the three little ones come on the scene for the first time in a long time and take the three wild children away.
As for the rest
Conan, of course, went home with Mao Lilan, and Qin Zhibo also had his own office.
So the question is, what should I do about Minase Yomu?
Because there were so many things that happened today, Yokomori Shigego, who was addicted to catching prisoners, had long forgotten his mission of sending Minase Harumu home.
"So where is your home?"
"Huh? Where does my family live?"
Facing Qin Zhibo's inquiry, Minase Yomeng seemed to be trying to remember, but suddenly the conversation changed and she started singing.
"My family lives in Loess Plateau~~"
"Loess? Which district in Tokyo is this?" Mao Lilan looked confused and couldn't understand what it meant.
Hearing the familiar tune, Qin Zhibo's eyes were startled. He didn't expect that this yellow-haired girl knew so much. How could he even know this?
Qin Zhibo felt a little strange, so he decided to test it out and started singing.
"Stop talking nonsense~ If you are talking nonsense~"
"I'm a stick!"
"Palace Yuye Liquor..."
"One hundred cups!"
Minase Youmeng jumped up and shouted out the answer again, squinting like a child.
But her strange knowledge reserve surprised Qin Zhibo again.
Even the "code" is known. Is this the Neon Man?
Or are you a neon person who loves to watch sketches?
Qin Zhibo was trying to figure out the origin of Minase Yangmeng, but Mao Lilan on the side didn't care, thinking that the two were performing a hilarious show of coordination.
Bang bang bang——
Mao Lilan clapped her hands and said jokingly: "It's so funny~ You should form a comedy artist group!"
"Really? Then let's call it 'Uncle and Beautiful Girl, team up!'"
"Or pursue an international style, called 'Beauty and the Beast, a combination..."
Qin Zhibo didn't know what to say when he saw Minase Youmeng who was so naive that he believed it was real.
Judging from this day's contact, Minase Yomu's characteristics are as follows.
He has a very light body, possesses a strange reserve of knowledge, has a narcissistic oral habit, has a temperament like a child who is ignorant of the world, and has almost no idea of his own life experience...
Thinking of what Akira Kato once said, if those were true, her identity might not be ordinary.
Otherwise, why would Akira Kato, who possesses secret knowledge, kidnap such a weak girl alone?
Conan, who was standing low, looked up at Minase Harumu who was discussing how to debut with Mao Lilan, and was thinking in his heart.
Why did she say I was different from other children?
Could it be...
This is impossible, even Mao Lilan can't see it. How can she be a stranger?
Conan shook his head a few times before kicking this somewhat terrifying thought out of his mind.
...
In the end, several people decided that Qin Zhibo would temporarily take in Minase Yangmeng.
Fish is not fish
