The Grammatical Investigator in Conan

Success rate is 100%...

Although the conditions for this spiritual communication are relatively good, under normal circumstances, the probability of successful spiritual communication is only about 50%.

Qin Zhibo looked at the system prompt and recalled the honest look of the stationery store owner.

Could it be that the cinnabar he sells is indeed different from ordinary cinnabar?

Cinnabar that can increase the probability of successful spellcasting...

If so, I should consider buying more for backup before going back.

Qin Zhibo silently memorized it in his heart and began to communicate with the spirit.

With the advance warning of the system, the process of this spiritual communication was also very stable.

Qin Zhibo pinched his fingers with one hand and waited for a few seconds. The cinnabar pattern on the yellow paper talisman emerged with a light blue light.

The light gradually rose and expanded until it condensed into a "male ghost".

Through the square glasses on the bridge of the nose, it can be vaguely distinguished that it is an image similar to Ingels.

"You are..."

Qin Zhibo subconsciously wanted to ask, but suddenly remembered that his spiritual level was not enough, and the summoned soul could not speak.

If you want to have a conversation, you must use some tools.

Qin Zhibo took out a laptop from the system props bar and showed the keyboard to Ingels' soul.

"I will ask you some questions now. When you answer, just spell it out according to the letters on it..."

Ingels' soul nodded.

"Do you know the person who killed you?"

Ingels' soul continued to nod.

"Then spell out the name of the murderer..."

Qin Zhibo did not take the approach of asking directly with the murderer's name, because that might mislead Ingels' soul.

However, the result was as expected. When Qin Zhibo spelled out the murderer's name under Ingels' command, the result was still the same as Conan and Hakuba's reasoning.

"Sera Elena..."

At least in Ingels' cognition before his death, he thought that the person who killed him was Sera Elena.

However, Qin Zhibo knew that it was just Belmode who committed the crime in the name of "Sera Elena".

Because Sera Elena is no longer in this world...

"Second question, have the research results on when Gehros will return come out?"

Ingels' soul nodded again.

Qin Zhibo continued to ask: "Then please tell me the time..."

This time, Qin Zhibo showed Ingels the current time first, so that Ingels could have an idea of ​​the current time.

"How long is it from now?"

Qin Zhibo's finger slid across the number keys, and when it reached the second number, Ingels' soul responded.

2...

2 what?

There are more than 20 days left?

Qin Zhibo remembered that Ingels said that there was at most one month left, so this should mean that there were more than 20 days left.

Although the time is not long, it is at least enough to prepare.

The second number, when Qin Zhibo's finger slid across the number 6, Ingels' soul called a halt.

26 days?

In this less than a month, it is relatively sufficient.

However, this also means that in a month, we must pay attention to the movements of both the Zoo Organization and the Black Organization.

Because their plans are all related to the return of Gehros...

While Qin Zhibo was thinking, Ingels' soul moved on its own.

He floated down, raised his hand and moved slowly on the keyboard.

Although the soul has no entity and cannot really hit the keyboard, Qin Zhibo can see clearly where the finger clicks.

With each click, Qin Zhibo's heart trembled violently.

h—o—u—r—s...

26 hours...

26 hours!

Qin Zhibo's pupils shrank suddenly, and he quickly turned his head to ask Ingels' soul again.

"Are you sure?"

"Are you sure the unit is hour, not day?"

Ingels' soul nodded again.

Now, Qin Zhibo can no longer remain calm.

This feeling is like you have a terminal illness, and ask the doctor how long you have left, but the doctor who doesn't follow martial ethics starts counting down directly...

The key is that the day before yesterday, he said that there was at most one month left, and today, there are only 26 hours left.

This... doesn't seem to be wrong.

From the night before yesterday till now, it is only one and a half days, plus 26 hours, it is less than three days.

It is indeed less than a month...

But the gap between before and after is too big!

Will the return of the stars begin in 26 hours?

The return of Ghros symbolizes the official start of the return of the stars.

Affected by the gravity of Ghros, the nine planets in the solar system will change their orbits one after another until they are connected in a string.

At that time, both the Black Pharaoh and Cthulhu will be reincarnated and revived...

Qin Zhibo looked at the time, which is noon tomorrow.

Let's not talk about the reincarnation of the Black Pharaoh for now, because His reincarnation requires conditions.

But judging from the content of the prophecy, Cthulhu's glorious rebirth only requires the conditions of the return of the stars.

If humans have the ability to send a spacecraft to perform the task of nuclear explosion of asteroids, like in science fiction disaster movies where many asteroids are about to hit the earth.

But in fact, this "Ghros" is a giant planet that can affect the orbits of planets of the level of Neptune, Uranus, and Jupiter.

Nuclear bombs cannot work on planets of this level.

Even if there is a one in ten thousand chance that it may change its orbit approaching the solar system, it is completely too late with 26 hours left.

Therefore, the return of Ghros is inevitable.

If Cthulhu really revives at the same time that Ghros causes the stars to return to their correct positions, there is no way to stop it.

Or wait until Cthulhu revives and fights him with human technology?

Human technology...

Qin Zhibo's mind conjured some grand pictures, such as nuclear bombs detonating on the sea, and the madly twitching green octopus tentacles being blown to pieces in the blooming mushroom cloud.

The strongest joint fleet of mankind watched this situation from afar on the sea, and shouted "This is the power of mankind, octopus monster!"

But this is just a picture in his imagination.

No one can determine what the Old Ones will look like against human thermal weapons.

Unless it is Karasuma Renya...

If there is no need to do anything special to revive Cthulhu, just wait for the opportunity for the stars to return to their correct positions, what is the purpose of Karasuma Renya using the black organization to carry out?

Is it to prepare for the new era that will come after Cthulhu dominates the earth?

...

London.

Conan, Masumi Sera, Maori father and daughter, and Dr. Agasa are sitting at a round table outside a roadside cold drink shop.

According to yesterday's agreement, they will officially start their London tour today.

But when it really comes to this time, everyone is in a bad mood again.

Because according to Hades's notice, today is the time for him to create a bloody incident somewhere in London.

"I'm still worried..."

Sera stirred the liquid in the drink cup with a straw while looking up at the sky.

"That damn Hades, I wish I could catch him myself."

Maori Kogoro glanced at the tomboy and murmured: "Haven't the police from Scotland Yard agreed to arrange police forces in various buildings and locations mentioned in the code?"

"We tourists from abroad don't need to interfere with the police's actions..."

As a former policeman, Maori Kogoro still believes in the power of the police. Detectives are just a role to help the police.

Mao Lilan lowered her head slightly, without saying anything, but she also looked worried.

Conan, who was sitting next to her, frowned and held his chin up, thinking secretly in his mind.

In his cognition, if Hades decided to send a code letter to provoke the police, it means that the code contains a certain accurate location.

Otherwise, Hades proposed six locations in one breath just to distract the attention of the London police.

This also shows that he would not choose to attack in one of these six locations.

His real target is somewhere else...

Where is it?

Conan was thinking, and Sera Masumi, who was sitting opposite him, suddenly stared at him with interest and asked: "Little friend, it seems that you are also thinking about the case..."

"Have you thought of any clues?"

Conan was frightened by the sudden voice and his shoulders trembled. He quickly looked at Sera Masumi opposite him, who was smiling at him with two small tiger teeth.

This guy... what's so funny?

"No~" Conan scratched his head cutely.

"When Shinichi and I said goodbye yesterday, he said we might not have completely solved the code."

"Because there is only one a in the spelling of the keyword saturn, but the "Big Ben" representing a appears twice in the code text..."

"There should be other reasons, right?"

Kudo Shinichi?

Sera's face was shocked, remembering that when his mother Mary talked to his father's old friend on the phone yesterday evening, Kudo Shinichi was next to him.

It seems that Conan doesn't know about this either?

At this time, Mao Lilan suddenly said in surprise: "Since Shinichi feels suspicious, why don't you ask Shinichi again?"

"Maybe after a night, Shinichi will be able to figure out the true meaning of the code!"

When Sera heard this, he nodded and agreed, "Yes! Yes!"

Mauri Ran was about to take out the phone from her bag.

Conan saw this and was immediately anxious.

Now Shinichi's phone is in the hands of that unreliable guy!

But just as he was about to raise his hand to dissuade Mao Lilan, he changed his mind and thought of another thing.

If the person who gave the clues to Ran Maoli and others in the restaurant yesterday was Michael, then Kuroba Kaito should be with Michael at this time.

If he calls him, maybe Michael can come up with some key clues again.

This man who was once mistaken for "brother-in-law" by himself, his reasoning ability is definitely not to be underestimated.

Even if he can't come up with any clues, he can help him test the other party's current movements.

But the premise is that the kid named Kuroba Kaito will not talk nonsense on the phone...

...

The top floor of London City Hall.

Kuroba Kaito is using the existing tools in the backstage to carefully create the magic props he will use this afternoon.

Although the magic props are usually made by Terai Huangzhisuke, he himself has good hands-on ability.

And this afternoon, the magic he will perform is one of the most primitive wishes of mankind-teleportation.

The so-called teleportation is to move quickly from one place to another.

Of course, the essence of teleportation in magic performances is to find ways to hide the process of the magician's rapid movement, and only show the positional relationship before and after the movement to the audience.

This was also the inspiration that Kuroba Kaito got when he followed Conan and Hakuba to decipher the code yesterday.

If you omit all the intermediate reasoning process and only introduce the starting point and conclusion to the other party, you can often achieve amazing results...

Based on this theory, Kuroba Kaito designed a teleportation performance in just half an hour.

However, when making magic props, he still couldn't help but feel a little regretful.

There is actually a simpler way to achieve teleportation performance.

That is, by setting up two identical magicians at the starting point and the end point, you can directly achieve the kind of performance effect that shocks the entire audience.

Preferably twins...

And he happened to look exactly the same as Kudo Shinichi, who was in London at this moment, and even had the same voice.

Although that guy turned into Conan for some unknown reason, it seemed that he had the ability to freely control his size so that he could fly to London.

If you use the "twin" method, you can break the limitations of the stage, "teleport" directly to the back of the performance hall in one breath, and complete this imaginative performance.

Buzz——

At this moment, the sound of a mobile phone vibrating suddenly came from Kuroba Kaito's pocket.

He took out his red flip phone and immediately realized that someone was calling "Kudo Shinichi".

Although he felt a little troublesome, he was still professional and answered the phone.

"Moses Moses..."

"Shinichi, I want to ask you, have you completely solved the code now?"

"ah?"

Kuroba Kaito was stunned, how could he decipher that code?

At this time, Conan on the other side of the phone asked for the call from Mao Lilan and asked in a childlike voice: "Brother Shinichi, if you can't think of it, you can ask your colleagues around you!"

"Maybe he knows?"

Kuroba Kaito looked around and knew that there was something in this kid's words, and he should be talking about Qin Zhibo beside him.

But Qin Zhibo is not here now, so he can only say perfunctorily: "I know, if there are clues, I will open you again..."

After saying that, he hung up the phone and prepared to continue making his own magic props.

But just as he picked up the saw, the movement in his hand suddenly stopped.

After thinking for a few seconds, he picked up his white flip phone and called Qin Zhibo.

At this time, Qin Zhibo was taking the bus back to London.

Seeing Kuroba Kaito's call, his heart felt heavy.

"Kaito, I'm on my way back to London."

"I have one thing..."

"No, I'd better say it first."

"There are only 24 hours left before Ghroth's return..."
