Transmigrated into Conan, his ability is Rhodes Island

"Are you bored?" Gin said angrily, biting off half of his cigarette butt.

"It's not exactly free," Qiu Yuan answered honestly. "Every day I have to go to the lab to clock in, organize books in the library, hand out balloons in the shopping street, and occasionally attend social events invited by senior students..."

The car was probably very quiet, and Gin's phone was leaking sound at this point, so Vodka could hear everything clearly from the driver's seat. Hearing this, he couldn't help but chime in: "So when you said you were asking a girl out to dinner, the girl you meant was Miyano Akemi?"

But the environment in Akihara was quite noisy, and there was a little boy who started whining again when he saw that he wasn't leaving. He didn't hear Vodka's complaint and shouted loudly in that direction, "Huh? What did you say?"

Gin remembered the purpose of his call and, suppressing his anger, continued talking to the player on the other end of the line: "Why did you deliberately approach Miyano Akemi?"

Akihara heard him clearly this time. Instead of answering Gin's question directly, he said with a surprised tone, "What? Brother Gin, you still don't trust me after all. You even want to send someone to monitor me. How troublesome! What about my suggestion before? I'll move in with you, then you can monitor me every day..."

"Shut up, don't change the subject." The voice on the other end was impatient.

“Okay.” Akihara’s tone was heavy with sorrow and regret, as if Gin had missed out on a fortune. “What happened to Miyano Akemi? Is there something wrong with her? Is it some famous jewelry avenue I don’t know about, or a bank robber?”

"You don't know?" Gin clearly didn't believe him. "Don't try to be clever, or even if you're not a rat, I'll personally send you on your way."

The tone was exactly like a domineering CEO saying: "Woman, don't covet things you shouldn't covet."

Akihara was stunned by his own wild imagination. He facepalmed. "Nobody notified me beforehand that Miyano Akemi was in trouble. Who knew she would suddenly appear in the mountaineering club? Who knew my mentor would force me to participate in mountaineering club activities... So you want me to do this? Get rid of her?"

After hearing that, Gin went silent. Akihara said "hello" a few times, thinking it might be a bad signal. Just as he was about to hang up, he heard the other party's cold voice again.

"You'd better not know."

"what?"

"Also, I think you're too idle. The action team has a mission tomorrow, you'll have to go with them."

"Okay, then, the salary..."

The other end of the phone slammed down.

Akihara sighed, put away his phone, and looked down to see the little boy trembling as he looked at him.

"You...who are you going to kill? You're not the Ultimate Detective at all! You're a member of the Despair Remnant in disguise! Right!" The little boy took a few steps back to distance himself from Akihara. Although his fear was evident, he still bravely raised his head to confront him.

Akihara's Despairing Eyes: Damn it, this is so annoying!

He resignedly squatted down and looked directly at the little boy with sincerity. "Listen, little one. I'm an undercover agent sent by the Future Agency to infiltrate the Desperate Remnants. Everything I just said was to mislead the bad guys. I'm only telling you this secret, so you must keep it a secret for me."

The little boy's eyes lit up instantly. "Mmm!! Don't worry, I definitely won't tell anyone else!" But then, as if remembering something, his expression turned puzzled. "But, but if you're the Ultimate Detective, why haven't you found Mimi yet?"

Akihara:……

I'm wondering why too! This is supposed to be a beginner-level task for all self-proclaimed detectives. The Junior Detective League could easily find clues by simply asking around about the cat. Sherlock Moriarty from Backlund next door also has divination skills; he could easily find the cat with a single "divination stick search." Yet, he dragged this little boy all over the park the cat frequented, asking everyone, and no one had ever seen such a cat. Why does it have to be so difficult for me?!

System: Get your proud brain working!

Akihara:……

He turned to the little boy and asked seriously, "Do you have any of Xiaomi's personal items? You mean the things Xiaomi used often, the ones that still have her scent on them?"

The little boy reached into his pocket again, and this time he pulled out a collar with a leash.

Akihara: Is your pocket the same as Doraemon's pocket?

The little boy explained to Akimoto, "I used this to take her for a walk today... but we encountered a dog on the way. It barked at us and scared Mimi so much that she broke free from her collar. I chased after her for a long time, but I couldn't catch up..." As he spoke, his mood became depressed again.

Akihara patted the little boy's head and took the collar from his hand. "Don't worry, she must be missing you right now. We'll go pick her up and take her home right away."

During a casual conversation, one of the Felin operators on his island mentioned that if their beast parents got lost, they could feed the stray beast parents nearby and let them sniff the lost beast parents' personal belongings. In return, they would have a chance to bring the lost beast parents back.

Akihara: This is something Miss Christine mentioned when we were talking about how to find the lost Phantom.

System: ...Nobody understands your lame jokes anymore!

This method might work, but it takes too long to show results. This is evident now that the sun has set, the stray cats that ate the canned food have gone and never returned, leaving only empty cans on the ground, Akihara Kazuhiro lost in thought, and the little boy who is about to cry again.

During this time, Vodka had dutifully sent the time and location of tomorrow's mission, and thoughtfully told him that the other members participating in the mission were all newcomers like him. However, Akihara had no interest in reading it at all.

His final expression was tragic and resolute as he looked at the boy. "You have to keep what happens next a secret."

The little boy, who was murmuring "I'm sorry, Xiaomi, I'm sorry," slowly developed a question mark on his sad face.

Akihara stretched out his hand, and a dazzling light condensed into a sphere at his fingertips. A sudden gust of wind rose up on the deserted street, swirling up the flying tarot cards and the hem of the hooded robe that had appeared on his body at some point.

The little boy stared blankly at everything, his lips trembling slightly, just like...

System: It looks just like a kitten scared by a dog.

Akihara: Please use a better metaphor!

The system grumbled indignantly, "So you're something else! You didn't use points at this critical moment, which almost gave me a heart attack! I even exchanged for the Far Mountain skill to find the cat for the child! You're just trying to scare me!"

Qiu Yuan did not answer. The afterglow of the setting sun bathed him in a golden light, adding a touch of divinity to the fortune teller holding the crystal ball. He bent down and handed the crystal ball forward.

"Come on, put your hands on it and imagine what Xiaomi looks like..."

The little boy seemed to wake from a dream. He stretched out a trembling hand, but instead of touching the crystal ball, he pointed at Akihara and exclaimed, "Big brother, so you are... a magical girl!"

Akihara: I'm so annoyed, but I have to keep smiling.

He looked at the little boy with a forced smile and emphasized, "Hurry up and touch it!"
