Chapter 55: What's the point of being a detective without a background? (Please vote! Please read on!)
I’m so tired… Not only am I wasting energy, but I’m also wasting my own strength.

Li Qing thought breathlessly that he had actually followed the red line for a distance without eating, and had left the factory and reached the other side.

But fortunately, hard work pays off.

He finally saw the end of the red line.

Sweetheart Afternoon Tea… Li Qing stared at the sign on the door and muttered to himself.

The red arrow also points to the camera of this cafe.

Is this the clue given by the [Famous Detective]?

Li Qingping took a deep breath. Since the "Famous Detective" pointed at the camera, it was possible that it was related to Tian Yunyi's disappearance.

The meaning of the camera can be seen through Li Qing's experience of following Conan in his previous life until the latest episode.

It's just those few things, just happened to capture the key characters, or something else.

It never goes wrong to take a look first.

Therefore, Li Qing planned to ask the clerk if he had any impression of Tian Yunyi. Although he felt that more than half a month had passed and the possibility of still remembering her was slim, he still did not rule out the possibility that she left an impression because something special had happened.

Of course, what is more important is to see if there are any other clues in the video.

For example, whether Tian Yunyi met anyone here.

Li Qing has not forgotten the scene he saw when [King Protoss's Letter] was completed...

Tian Yunyi agreed to meet someone. Although he didn't know the exact time, it was definitely related to the missing case!
Jingle Bell--

"Welcome, what flavor of afternoon tea would you like?"

As soon as he entered the door, a clerk wearing a simple teahouse uniform, a white shirt with a light blue apron, spoke to Li Qing kindly with a positive smile at all times.

"Hello, do you have time? I want to ask you something."

As Li Qing spoke, he looked around the interior of the store.

The side of the store against the wall is made of glass, which is convenient for customers to enjoy the afternoon sun. The layout of the teahouse is elegant and exquisite, but not old-fashioned. It has a youthful feel and gives people a warm feeling.

The quiet and beautiful atmosphere in the store is also suitable for young couples to warm up their relationship.

The clerk with a ponytail looked at Li Qing with a puzzled look, but did not hesitate for long before replying, "Sure, go ahead."

"Okay, thank you for your help." Li Qing took out Tian Yunyi's missing person notice from his pocket, pointed at her head portrait, and asked the clerk, "Do you have any impression of this girl in your memory? If you think she looks familiar, you can tell me."

The shop assistant with a ponytail tilted her head, probably lost in her memories.

But within a moment, the clerk with a ponytail shook her head at Li Qing and said:
"Sorry, I have no impression."

Li Qing was not surprised either, so to speak.

As expected...

"So, can you let me see the surveillance video of your store?"

Li Qing gave a slightly awkward smile, but still looked directly at the clerk with a ponytail.

"Are you a plainclothes policeman?"

"Uh... not."

Impersonating a police officer is a crime. Li Qing has no plans to do so for the time being, and he does not have a police ID.

Even if it is fake, you won’t be able to take it out.

"Then I'm sorry, but due to the store manager's rules, we don't have the right to show the video playback to customers without permission." The clerk with a ponytail still kept smiling, but her words and actions showed that she would not show the video to Li Qing.

"It may involve the privacy of other customers. Please forgive me. It is okay if you cooperate with the police."

"But in private... I'm really sorry, but I can't."

What to do... Li Qing gritted his teeth secretly. He couldn't tell the police about this kind of thing.

say what.

The place where Tian Yunyi disappeared is quite far from this store, and it has been more than half a month.

It was hard to say whether Li Qing had heard of Tian Yunyi before. When he suddenly went to the police and said he had a clue, it would be hard not to be regarded as someone seeking attention.

Not to mention, what exactly is in the surveillance video.

Li Qing himself was not sure either. Who knew what clues the [Famous Detective] would give him?

"Uh... Actually, I'm a detective, and I'm currently investigating a mysterious disappearance case."

"And now, I suspect that the surveillance camera may have recorded some important clues. Please, this is really important to me!"

"There is always only one truth!"

Li Qing suddenly said seriously, isn't it like this in Conan? Once you say you are a detective, the store will tell you all the surveillance videos, customer information and so on.

He tried to play detective and get clues.

"No, not without a police officer accompanying you. No means no." The clerk with a ponytail remained calm, "Even if you are a real detective, this is not possible."

"Besides, this is China. Let alone Japan, there are no detective games here."

Li Qing is trying hard to get clues...

Li Qing failed to obtain clues and his true purpose was exposed, which put him in an awkward situation. Without the surveillance, everything became meaningless.

It's broken, the situation is stuck.

This is like playing a game, because you need the next task, so you go to get the task token.

As a result, the NPC guarding the token tells you that because the conditions are not met, you cannot get the quest token to start the next stage of the quest.

That is what is commonly known as... the main line is stuck.

Damn it...what should I do?

Li Qing felt a chill in his teeth. Is this the true consequence of not having a detective's connections?

Behind Kudo Shinichi is the world-renowned mystery novelist Kudo Yusaku. When Kudo Yusaku was young, he was the first generation Kudo younger brother of Inspector Megure. Later, Kudo Shinichi conquered the Metropolitan Police Department with his own abilities and became the second generation Kudo younger brother, a famous high school detective, known as the "Sherlock Holmes of the Heisei era" and the "savior of the Japanese police."

Kogoro Mouri was originally a detective from the Metropolitan Police Department. He was a well-established official, but later changed his career to become a private detective. He was an old acquaintance of Officers Takagi and Megure of the Metropolitan Police Department, and because of this he was able to freely enter and exit crime scenes. He was nicknamed "Sleeping Kogoro."

There is no need to say more about Hattori Heiji. He is the son of Hattori Heizo, the chief of Osaka Prefectural Police Headquarters. He is a criminal second-generation police officer. Who dares to stop him? He is also a top-notch expert in handling cases. He can be called "Kudo of Kanto, Hattori of Kansai" together with Kudo Shinichi.

And Hakuba Detective who appears in Kidri is the son of the Superintendent of the Metropolitan Police Department. His father has a higher status than Hattori Heiji's father, and he is the highest-ranking person in the Metropolitan Police Department who has appeared in "Detective Conan" so far.

Oh boy, when I think about it, I want to be a detective.

It is impossible to have no solid background behind him... Li Qing's mouth corners turned down slightly, although he seemed to have graduated now and was no longer a high school student.

Am I not a high school student? Just because I’m not a high school student, you won’t let me be a detective?
"Li Qing? Why are you here too?"
