"By the way, could you tell me your name?"
Lin Che had completely forgotten about the "main quest" at this moment.
You're from the Mud Ginseng Guild, right? Wait for me while I level up.
He happily chatted with Conan.
After a few seconds.
Lin Che's eyes sharpened.
You have received a debuff!
[Conan's Gaze: Luck -10, Intelligence -10, Error Rate during Actions +20%, Duration Unknown.]
Dead hand!
They'll let you take on any task!
Chapter 6: He found the Manny he had accidentally lost again.
I've become a Conan fan myself!
Luck, intelligence, and other data are not directly presented in a quantifiable way.
Therefore, Lin Che didn't know how much luck and intelligence he had left.
Based on his own experience, he hasn't felt any negative impact on his intelligence yet.
However, the percentage reduction in the action error rate is quite intuitive.
"It shouldn't be a big problem..."
Lin Che glanced at Conan's large head and had a general idea of what was going on.
He realized that Conan suspected him because of Ai Haibara.
Ai Haibara just visited Professor Agasa's house last night, so Conan probably doesn't know her identity as a member of the Black Organization yet.
This suspicion is largely within the "normal" range.
Wouldn't that mean we're doomed?
Once Ai Haibara's identity is revealed, and Conan throws a "Are you a member of the organization?" question at her, the debuff will probably be even stronger!
"It seems I really need to clear my name."
Lin Che's thoughts raced and he had already come up with a general strategy.
At this moment, the group finally walked out of Otogawa Station.
how to say......
Lin Che left home in the morning.
I took the subway.
it's dark.
Time flies so fast, how come Kenichi Aono hasn't even called me?
It seems that the "game concentration" of this world is indeed very high. It revolves entirely around Lin Che, the game's protagonist, while also featuring large-scale world events and the "intelligent evolution" of NPCs.
“Brother Lin Che,” Conan suddenly stood on tiptoe and tugged at Lin Che’s sleeve, “Could you please go to the real estate exchange over there and ask about the situation?”
With a childlike, innocent smile on his face, he said, "I suspect that Junye's brother was kidnapped by a group of people who print counterfeit money."
"In order to make counterfeit money, those people would probably choose to rent or buy properties like warehouses. Go there and ask around, maybe you'll get some clues."
Lin Che nodded in agreement.
Now he just needs to follow the mission instructions.
Completing this mission with Conan will grant you 300 experience points, 5 points of favorability, and a title similar to Ai Haibara's, called "The Detective's Attention."
After completing both tasks, I should be able to level up twice.
"So what are you planning to do?" Lin Che asked casually.
Conan chuckled awkwardly, "I'll just lead them around investigating in the vicinity. If I leave rashly, they'll follow me and cause trouble."
Yes, that makes sense.
Lin Che turned and left, intending to use his "Detective Instinct" ability to collect everything he could after entering the real estate brokerage exchange.
Don't even say it.
In a corner next to the exchange's restrooms, in a place that looked like a storage room,
There was a delicate little black box!
There was also a stack of documents next to the small box.
The small box opened very easily.
You have obtained: 20 yen in stolen money.
Wow!
Two hundred thousand can be found with a casual touch!
As for why there would be illicit funds in the real estate exchange... it's probably because they received bribes during the procedural process.
It didn't matter to Lin Che; he didn't care.
He glanced at the top right corner of the UI; the police wanted poster still had three gray stars, indicating that the money was free to take.
Let's take another look at the documents.
[The Dark Side of Real Estate Transactions (1): This document describes some shady deals; investigating it may yield unexpected results.]
哟，
Hidden quests
And it's continuous.
If there is a file 1, there must be a 2 or even more.
Lin Che's years of experience as a veteran gamer told him that after completing this series of tasks, he could at least get a property.
"Let's talk about it later; there's not much time right now."
There were no more items he had accidentally left behind in the room that could be recycled, so he went outside to start a conversation with the agent.
After asking around, the clues pointed to a bookstore not far away.
When Lin Che returned to the street, he saw Conan and his friends being kicked out of the bookstore by the owner.
"Those kids aren't people you know, are they?" the agent asked.
Lin Che thought to himself, "How come everyone here is so good at guessing?" He nodded and said, "We just met, we're not very familiar with each other."
Just then, a dejected Conan led the Junior Detective League toward them.
"Brother Lin Che, how's your investigation going?"
He said there's no such place. Why don't you ask him again?
Lin Che stepped aside and gestured for the agent to speak directly with Director Ke.
After the two chatted briefly, everyone's attention immediately focused on a small newspaper office across the street, next to the police station.
"Sir, it's getting late. You'd better not continue playing detective games with these children."
The agent returned to the door and said, "This newspaper office prints tabloids, and it's right next to the police station. How could criminals possibly choose to print counterfeit money here?"
After saying that, he closed the door and shut the shop.
The streets were quiet for a moment.
Conan, however, looked serious. "I'm afraid Junya's brother is inside."
"So what do we do now?" the three little ones asked in unison.
Of course, we should call the police.
3 minute later.
"Haha, sir, please stop joking."
"Yeah, even a yakuza group like the Muddy Association wouldn't dare to print counterfeit money right next to a police station."
The local police did not believe Lin Che's words.
Lin Che didn't care either.
He only needs to keep track of the task progress.
Because he had watched Detective Conan, even though Lin Che didn't have much of an impression of the case itself, he still didn't feel much immersion in the detective work.
He just wanted to gain experience, level up, and leave to see what was going on with his mission.
After saying a few words, the police refused to let Conan and the others in.
Conan was at a loss.
He looked at Lin Che: "Now it seems we can only rescue them ourselves. Could you please go and explore the newspaper office?"
“I have to stay here and watch over the others. It would be bad if they ran in too; it could be dangerous.”
Yes, that makes sense.
The newspaper office was not large, the building was cramped, and the staircase was dark.
The accumulated grime on the steps formed a protective camouflage, making it difficult for Lin Che to see clearly unless he looked down.
Eh?
Lin Che activated his [Detective Instinct], a look of surprise in his eyes.
The light effects that come with the skill can certainly be used to provide illumination!
Now it'll be easier to walk.
Lin Che lowered his pace and slowly made his way uphill.
At the same time, in a room on the second floor.
"Boss, someone has sneaked in," a fat, burly man reported anxiously. He was in charge of checking the surveillance footage.
The blonde woman wearing a black wide-brimmed hat had a fierce expression. "Sneaking in so late, playing an adventure game? Has the police noticed us?"
The fat-faced man gritted his teeth, "Just arrest him."
The blonde woman nodded. "Let's clean up the house first and then catch him off guard."
at this time.
The door was opened from the outside.
Lin Che blinked as he looked at the seven or eight people in the room.
"Don't you lock the door when you do this kind of activity?"
Swah——
Next second,
Two pistols were aimed at Lin Che.
The blonde woman sneered, "No one would build a trap to keep their prey out, would they?"
gun.
Do you dare to drive it?
I do not believe.
Chapter 7 What gun? Where did you get the gun?
The police station is right next door.
Lin Che didn't think these people would actually dare to fire.
