My house!

Where is my house?

Qin Zhibo got off his bicycle with a look of disbelief on his face and walked to the front of "Jintian Financial Co., Ltd." to take a closer look.

Not only has the office disappeared, but even the women's clothing store on the first floor has been replaced by a pawn shop, which should be integrated with the financial company upstairs.

The women's clothing store on the first floor originally had ordinary glass doors and windows after closing, but now it has been replaced by a pawn shop, and the windows and doors are blocked by rolling shutters.

The blinds on the second and third floors are closed, so you can't see clearly inside.

Conan, who was standing at the back, held his chin solemnly and looked back behind him.

Although the Sunday convenience store is closed at this time, judging from the style of the sign, it should be the convenience store that has always been open opposite Zhibo Detective Office.

The location is correct...

But why did the firm become a financial company?

Could it be done by criminals who have a grudge against Qin Zhibo?

While Conan was thinking, Qin Zhibo had already taken the side stairs to the second floor and inserted the office key on his body into the keyhole.

However, the good key couldn't be inserted at all, and even the original door was replaced.

The same goes for the third floor. I can't insert the keyhole, let alone open the door.

how so?

Qin Zhibo fumbled with his hands for the security door in front of him that blocked him from returning "home", and he became even more confused.

Judging from the condition of this door, it is an old door that has been used for a long time, and it does not look like it was newly installed today.

But this place is obviously his office, and the house was bought by the original owner of the body. How could someone else "occupy the magpie's nest"?

And it’s been since a long time ago...

Suddenly, his eyes flickered and blurred, and something seemed to come to his mind.

Since the flash of white light created by Mi-Go, many unusual things have happened.

Cherry blossoms bloom out of season, another "Conan", a skateboard made exactly like Dr. Agasa, money cannot be withdrawn from the bank card, and the office is occupied by others...

Is all this because...

Have I traveled through time?

…

Outside the office, Conan stood there, still thinking that someone had a grudge against Qin Zhibo and wanted to use this method to prank Lao Qin.

If this is the case, the prisoner should be guarding here in order to see the moment when Qin Zhibo was frightened and stunned.

Thinking of this, Conan's eyes darkened, and he had to use his observation skills to find the "real murderer" nearby.

The best observation location is not too far away, it should be right...

Conan looked suspiciously at a building not far away.

But at this moment, Qin Zhibo suddenly rushed out from the dark corridor and lifted Conan onto the back seat of the bicycle.

"Hey!" Conan was caught off guard, "Where are you going?"

If he hadn't considered that the prisoner might be nearby and speaking out rashly would alert the enemy, Conan would have revealed his intention to help Qin Zhibo find the prisoner responsible for the prank.

But Qin Zhibo stepped on the bicycle hard and said in a hurry: "Don't ask yet, come with me."

Conan: "?"

…

Qin Zhibo's bicycle rode very fast, making a rustling sound as it slid through the silent streets of Mihua.

Soon, he took Conan to the 2-chome of Yoneka Town, which is the neighborhood where Dr. Agasa's home is located.

Conan was stunned for a moment, thinking that Qin Zhibo was looking for a place to stay.

"Are you going to stay at Dr. A Li's house first?"

"But this skateboard is a complete imitation of Dr. Ali's invention. I'm afraid Dr. Ali's house is also being monitored by my impostor."

"We can only find a way to secretly tell Dr. A Li the truth, otherwise..."

Conan in the back seat was reasoning naturally, but the bicycle suddenly stopped, causing his chin to hit Qin Zhibo's solid back and almost biting his tongue.

"what are you doing?"

Conan adjusted his glasses and complained slightly.

Qin Zhibo didn't pay attention to Conan at all, but turned to look at a building on the side of the road.

There is no plaque at the door of the building, just a notice posted on the glass door - "House for Sale".

The surprise in Qin Zhibo's eyes was not concealed at all. Although he was mentally prepared before coming, he was still shocked when he actually saw this scene.

Because this is supposed to be...

"Is this... Chengshi Hospital?"

Conan also glanced at the familiar building on the roadside and said in a somewhat uncertain tone.

Although Narashi Hospital is a newly opened hospital in 2-chome, he has been here several times before. Even though the plaque is no longer there, he can still vaguely recall the situation here.

"The house is for sale?" Conan was a little surprised, "When did Dr. Cheng Shi move out? Why didn't that guy Haiyuan say anything today?"

Haibara Ai and Cheng Shi have a very good relationship, so Conan doesn't believe that Cheng Shi didn't even tell Haibara Ai.

"No……"

At this time, Qin Zhibo, who was sitting in the front seat, looked at the empty house waiting for sale expressionlessly and murmured: "It's because there is no such thing as him in this world..."

Conan: "Huh?"

Qin Zhibo continued to murmur: "I'm afraid we are..."

He paused for a moment before speaking out his true thoughts.

"I'm afraid I've traveled through time..."

"Time travel?"

Conan looked stunned. As a Japanese high school student in 1996, he didn't quite understand the concept of "time travel".

Even though science fiction movies such as "Back to the Future" have shown the content of traveling into the past and traveling into the future, no one in this era will connect it with reality, unless they are crazy.

But as a "future person" whose soul has traveled to this world, Qin Zhibo is quite aware of the authenticity of "time travel".

But he didn't expect that he would travel through time again in a daze.

"Time travel? What does this mean?" Conan frowned slightly and asked.

"Time travel is..."

Qin Zhibo was at a loss for words and didn't know how to use convincing language to explain the concept of time travel to the "materialistic" Conan.

Besides, even he himself doesn't know how he came into this world.

"Suppose there is a person traveling from one world to another. This is called space travel."

"There is also time travel, such as when a person goes back to the past, or travels to the future..."

"But if my guess is correct, we should be in a parallel world now."

Qin Zhibo tried his best to explain to Conan in a simple and easy-to-understand way, but what he got in return was an even more confused expression from Conan.

Now Conan is not only wondering what "time travel" is, but also curious about why Qin Zhibo's mind suddenly became abnormal.

"never mind……"

Seeing that Conan didn't understand, Qin Zhibo waved his hand.

He also knows that this concept is difficult to understand to someone who has not experienced it.

"Let's find a place with Internet access first. After we find the evidence, we will tell you. You will understand..."

It was not difficult for Conan to find a place with Internet access.

Although there are no advanced business establishments like Internet cafes in this world, Ni-chome has been Conan's home base for 17 years.

"Let's go to my house."

"My family is quite big..."

…

Qin Zhibo took Conan on his bicycle to Kudo's house located in 2-chome section 21.

When passing by the Mokuba Village on Lot 23, he glanced into the courtyard of the apartment and did not see Toru Amuro's white Mazda RX-7 parked in the courtyard.

Sure enough, this is not the original world...

This is a parallel world.

The so-called parallel world is another dimensional world that has almost the same history as the original world and is composed of the same people.
