Chapter 1265 A "Lucky" Family

"You...refuse?"

"Yes."

Faced with Kuroba Kaito's invitation, Qin Zhibo gave a clear answer of refusal.

"But why?"

Under the setting sun, Qin Zhibo lay on the sofa and rubbed his stomach with his hands, his eyes subconsciously looking towards the kitchen not far away.

"Kaito, do you have anything to eat at home?"

"There are two boxes of milk in the refrigerator..."

"Oh."

Qin Zhibo walked to the refrigerator in the kitchen and found the Asahi milk in the carton from the refrigerated area.

He tore the triangular opening on the edge of the carton along the dotted line and gulped it down.

This sleep from morning to dusk restored almost 30 points of willpower, but it was also a full 24 hours of hunger.

Now Qin Zhibo is so hungry that he can eat a cow!

Throwing the carton of milk into the kitchen trash can, Qin Zhibo looked at Kuroba Kaito and said solemnly.

"I have something very important to do next, so I have to go to England."

"England?" Kuroba Kaito was stunned, and hurriedly said: "But my destination is also England!"

"Huh? Really?"

"Yes!"

Kuroba Kaito spread his hands and introduced: "The origin of the Hobber Magic Group is England, and they are now performing in London!"

As Kuroba Kaito explained it in detail again, Qin Zhibo finally understood why Kuroba Kaito was so eager to go to England.

Kuroba Kaito, under the advice of Kuroba Toichi, was going to England to warn Judy Hobber and protect the Scarlet Tears.

But Qin Zhibo was more concerned about the time mentioned in the "reincarnation prophecy" mentioned by Kuroba Toichi.

In fact, he had already known most of the reincarnation prophecy from Haneda Yasuharu before.

But it was the first time that he knew the time of reincarnation in such a clear way.

Previously, members of the zoo organization only said that Halley's Comet returns once every 10,000 years or something...

When the stars return to their positions, with the help of Nefren Ka's reincarnation and the red gem on the top of his crown, Nefren Ka will be crowned as a more powerful black pharaoh and be reborn gloriously...

This return of the stars is very similar to the prophecy that foreshadows the revival of Cthulhu.

And one of the purposes of my trip to the UK this time is to go to the University of Blythe in the UK and ask the scholars there for clarification.

Because it was the University of Blythe that first proposed that a certain comet would land near the solar system in the near future, pulling gravity and changing the position of the stars.

"Then it seems that our destination is the same..."

"But if you want to prevent the reincarnation ceremony from happening, you must at least confirm the correct time of the 'return of the stars'."

Qin Zhibo calmly analyzed with his chin held high: "At present, the enemy seems to have mastered this correct time, so they can act in an orderly manner..."

"But..."

"But?"

Facing Kuroba Kaito's doubts, Qin Zhibo did not say his biggest worry.

Now, whether it is the reincarnation of the "Black Pharaoh" or the revival of Cthulhu, it is related to the return of the stars.

The Black Pharaoh is easy to say, after all, one of the important props of the reincarnation ceremony, the Crimson Tear Gem, is in the hands of his camp.

But the revival of Cthulhu does not require a ceremony, just like setting a huge alarm clock, when the time comes, Cthulhu will naturally wake up.

This is also the true origin of the world-destroying crisis mentioned by the Yis people.

So once the correct time for the return of the stars is known, Cthulhu should be the one to be most wary of.

But what should be done?

How can a mere mortal fight against the Old Ones?

Force?

This is simply impossible. The civilization of the Yis people has experienced billions of years, and naturally has the ability to evaluate the gap between human civilization and the Old Ones.

Since the Yis people believe that humans cannot win, this must be the result.

Even if the human race today possesses nuclear weapons, which are a deadly weapon and destroys the world, the human race itself will almost perish...

Thinking of this, Qin Zhibo shook his head violently.

Now he shouldn't think about such a clueless thing. The key is to find a way to confirm the time when the stars return to their positions.

"Then it's decided. Let's book the tickets to the UK as soon as possible..."

It's late today, and there are no travel apps like Ctrip in this era. We can only book tickets tomorrow.

Qin Zhibo stood up from the sofa and was about to say he was going out for dinner when the doorbell rang.

Ding——

Kuroba Kaito's face was happy, thinking that it was Kuroba Touichi who couldn't leave Japan tonight, so he came back, so he hurried to open the door happily.

"Here you are!"

When he opened the door, he saw that it was Nakamori Aoko.

"Aoko? Why are you here?" Kuroba Kaito was a little surprised.

"What's wrong? Is it strange that I'm here?"

Nakamori Aoko smiled sweetly, "I heard you say this morning that Aunt Qianying came back from abroad, so I want to invite you and Aunt to my house for dinner tonight..."

"Huh?"

Kuroba Kaito, who felt puzzled, was stunned, "When did I say that my mother was going back to her country?"

Nakamori Aoko raised her eyebrows, "But didn't you say this morning that you had someone you hadn't seen for a long time to meet, so I guess it must be Aunt Qianying..."

Qin Zhibo, who was standing by the wall of the entrance, heard that there was a ready-made dinner, so he took the initiative to come out.

"Qingzi, you misunderstood. In fact, this kid is talking about me~"

Nakamori Aoko looked at Qin Zhibo who suddenly appeared, blinked his eyes, and only remembered after a few seconds.

"Aren't you the uncle who was looking for Kaito and Anko at the school gate before?"

Nakamori Aoko and Qin Zhibo had almost no interaction, except for the first time Qin Zhibo went to the gate of Ekoda High School to block Kuroba Kaito and Koizumi Anko after school, Nakamori Aoko witnessed it.

Qin Zhibo nodded and introduced himself: "Actually, I am a slightly famous detective named Qin Zhibo."

"Since that meeting, Kaito has often asked me about Kaito Kidd..."

"Kaitou Kidd!"

When she heard about Kaitou Kid, Nakamori Aoko's eyes lit up. After all, this had been her father Ginzo Nakamori's heart for more than ten years.

"Then come to my house to discuss it! My dad is also very interested in Kaitou Kidd!"

"Haha, then I will be disrespectful. Speaking of which, Officer Nakamori and I are old acquaintances. We have fought against Kaitou Kidd several times together..."

Qin Zhibo followed Nakamori Aoko out of the entrance with a smile, leaving the dumbfounded Kuroba Kaito where he was.

Hello!

My dad has just come back, don't let me know!

Uneasy, Kuroba Kaito quickly took the keys to his house and followed him to the Nakamori house next door.

…

At the same time, on the third floor of the Mori Detective Agency.

The Maori family was sitting happily around the low table, eating steaming Japanese hot pot.

The faces of the three people could not stop showing happy expressions.

"What a blessing!"

“I didn’t expect that just by going to the coffee shop downstairs for a cold drink, I would get the opportunity to travel to London for free!”

"It seems that this is the reason why I didn't win the horse race today!"

Mouri Kogoro proudly boasted about his achievements while showing off the meat in his mouth.

When Mao Lilan, who was sitting opposite, heard this, she gave her old father a helpless look.

"Obviously when I said I wanted to go downstairs to eat smoothies, you still didn't agree..."

"Um..." Mouri Kogoro paused with his chopsticks hanging in the air, then waved his hand, "Don't worry about those details!"

"Anyway, I'm making a lot of money this time! Not only can I go to London for free, but my food and accommodation are also included!"

Conan on the other side looked at Mouri Kogoro with helpless eyes.

What a shameless uncle...

but……

When he thought about the gift of being able to travel to London for free, Conan's little face couldn't help but reveal a happy expression.

That's what happened--

In the afternoon, when the Maori family was drinking cold drinks at the Poirot Café downstairs, they accidentally picked up a white Persian cat in the store.

Not long after the Persian cat was acquired, the cat’s owner appeared.

Out of gratitude and having heard that Kogoro Mouri was a detective, the cat owner said that he was also a mystery fan and invited the Mouri family to visit his hometown.

And the hometown of this cat owner is London, England.

"Speaking of which, that Lady Diana is so generous..."

"I just helped her with a trivial matter, so I specially invited us to London, and even included round-trip air tickets, food and accommodation..."

Mao Lilan picked up a piece of green vegetables with chopsticks and said leisurely.

When Mouri Kogoro heard this, he once again got carried away and took credit for himself, "Of course they provided the free trip because of my reputation as a famous detective!"

Mao Lilan: "But Ms. Diana is British. It's her first time in Japan, and she doesn't know who you are, dad..."

Being choked by his daughter, Mouri Kogoro felt a little embarrassed, so he could only analyze it seriously.

"That's how rich people are, they regard their pets as more important than people."

"Although in our eyes it's just helping to find a pet, in other people's eyes, it's almost the same as saving a human life... So of course we have to thank us."

As a private detective who often helps wealthy people find pets, Mouri Kogoro naturally sees these things very clearly.

In the eyes of rich people, ordinary people are not even as good as a pet they have kept by their side for a long time.

But he himself couldn't change or do anything, because he also relied on this skill to get in the upper class society.

However, Mao Lilan, who has always been innocent and kind-hearted, was a little dissatisfied with her father's negative perception of life, and said angrily: "Dad, why do you say that to others?"

Mouri Kogoro held the rice bowl and curled his lips, "Tsk, what I said is the truth..."

Seeing that the father and daughter were about to get into trouble, Conan quickly changed the subject.

“But London seems to have many good attractions!”

"The first is Baker Street, then there's Hyde Park where Holmes and Watson walked, and then there's the British Museum where Holmes often goes to check out information..."

Conan spoke excitedly with a blush on his face.

Although Kudo and his wife often took him abroad when he was a child, they never went to London.

Now I can finally visit the Holy Land!

Mao Lilan and Mao Li Kogoro, who were standing next to him, turned their attention to him in unison.

"Kid, how do you know London so well?"

"Forehead……"

Facing the suspicious look from Kogoro Mouri, Conan had an idea and quickly took the blame.

"Brother Shinichi told me!"

"He told me that there are such and such good places in London..."

When Conan said this, Mao Lilan, who was sitting next to him, suddenly had an idea.

"By the way! Last time I called Shinichi from the underground garage of Rice Flower Mall, it seemed that Shinichi said he was in the UK!"

"Maybe he is in London now, I will call him right away!"

With that said, Mao Lilan put down the bowls and chopsticks in his hands, got up and was about to make a phone call.

Conan, who was about to take a bite of meat, didn't react at first.

When he came back to his senses, he remembered the last assassination of "Chiba" in the rice flower mall. A man who looked similar to Kudo Shinichi appeared around the suspect, making "high school student detective Kudo Shinichi" also become suspect.

At the request of Manager Matsumoto, Mao Lilan called herself to confirm her location.

As a last resort, I told a little lie and said I was in the UK.

Unexpectedly, Xiaolan still remembers this incident until now!

If you have to call yourself at this time, what’s the point?

Conan quickly stood up, turned around and persuaded: "Sister Xiaolan! It's only morning in England at this time. Maybe Brother Shinichi is busy handling the commission and has no time to talk on the phone..."

"And if we suddenly go to England, wouldn't it be just in time to give Shinichi-nii a shock?"

Mao Lilan, who was holding the phone and about to dial the number, became interested when she heard what Conan said, and a cute smirk appeared on the corner of her mouth.

"Conan, what you said makes sense. This opportunity is rare, and we should really seize it..."

Seeing that Mao Lilan gave up calling now, Conan also breathed a sigh of relief.

But the question now is how could I appear in the UK as Kudo Shinichi?

I don’t know how to clone myself...

Eh?

its not right!

Conan was about to pick up his job again when his expression suddenly became horrified.

I don’t think I can go to the UK at all!

I don't have a passport!

Only then did Conan suddenly remember that his identity as "Edogawa Conan" was a completely non-existent person, and he didn't even have a passport.

In this case, it is simply impossible to go abroad through customs.

Conan thought again and again, and now he can only rely on Dr. A Li's ability.

…

The next day, when Conan came to Dr. Ali's house, he told his situation.

"Doctor! Can you think of a way! Like forging a passport or something..."

"Ah?" Dr. Ali was stunned and quickly retorted, "That's illegal!"

Note that the doctor only said that this is illegal, not something that cannot be done.

However, Conan didn't notice this point. He could only scratch his head in frustration and kept complaining.

"Damn it~"

"It's rare to go on a pilgrimage to the holy land of Sherlock Holmes. How could such a tragic thing happen?"

"Oh... unlucky, unlucky, unlucky..."

Looking at Conan who was sighing, the half-moon-eyed Haiyuan Ai seemed to be indifferent, but in fact, he was somewhat touched in his heart.

If he hadn't invented the drug himself, he wouldn't have suffered such a fate on the dwarf man in front of him.

Forget it, let’s satisfy him...

"If you want to go to England, there is only one way..."

"Eh?" Conan's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly approached Haiyuan Ai.

"What can we do?!"

Hui Yuan Ai hugged his shoulders and said coldly: "Then use the APTX-4869 temporary antidote I researched..."
