The Grammatical Investigator in Conan

Chapter 144 Ex-boyfriend’s Sacrifice Ceremony

"Hey! What do you want to do?"

In the room, Koizumi Hongzi was questioning Qin Zhibo.

"My magical power cannot be exposed! Otherwise."

Koizumi Anko seemed to have triggered the PTSD switch, and the words in her mouth stopped abruptly.

"if not?"

Qin Zhibo tried to ask, but Koizumi Hongzi had a nervous expression on his face and did not give an answer.

Qin could only comfort him: "You just need to stay behind the scenes and leave all external work to me."

Having said this, Koizumi Hongzi's resistance was not so strong.

Back to five minutes ago, Qin Zhibo suddenly came up with the idea of ​​developing Yoko Okino as his client.

Okino Yoko has a death curse, which has caused her to be very unlucky recently, and even she feels it.

In this case, can we use this to develop Yoko Okino as our client?

In this way, you can not only make money from popular female artists, but also save people's lives and develop contacts. It is simply the best of all three.

Although Qin Zhibo now has the millions of yen he got from settling the silver fox last time, and strictly speaking he is not short of money, but who would think that there is too much money?

Moreover, because Qin Zhibo's sense of time is different from other people in this world, he usually consumes more money, so the more money, the better for Qin.

It seems to be for everyone

An hour later, Okino Yoko's manager Yamagishi Sakae knocked on the door of Qin Zhibo's room on time.

Qin Zhibo invited Yamagishi Sakae to sit down in the room. As soon as Yamagishi Sakae's butt landed, he couldn't wait to ask.

"Mr. Qin, do you have anything to do with me?"

The Yamagishi Sakae in front of him had a sharp-mouthed monkey-cheeked face, and he especially didn't look like a good person when his eyes were wandering from left to right.

But judging from his every move today, he is still very responsible as an artist manager.

So Qin Zhibo chose to believe him for the time being.

"Actually, it's about Okino Yoko's current situation. I have something to ask you."

"Miss Yoko?"

Yamagishi Rong's expression moved slightly, he hesitated for two seconds and then nodded: "Okay, you can ask."

"I heard that she has been very unlucky recently. Can you tell me how she got unlucky?"

"this."

Yamagishi Sakae hesitated.

After all, Okino Yoko is not an ordinary person, but a popular female artist who has attracted the envy of many people.

Once the news about Okino Yoko's recent misfortune is grasped by someone who is interested, they may use this to create public opinion and attack Okino Yoko.

At the dinner before, Yamagishi Sakae already knew that Qin Zhibo's occupation was a private detective.

As for the profession of private detective, if you give money, you can inquire about any privacy and information.

Seeing Yamagishiro's hesitation, Qin Zhibo changed his explanation.

"Actually, Okino Yoko has been very unlucky recently. It's not just bad luck."

"I would like to ask if anyone related to Okino Yoko has died recently."

“And since this person’s death, Okino Yoko has been ‘unlucky’.”

Qin Zhibo deliberately emphasized the pronunciation of the word "unlucky" in order to make Yamagishi Sakae think of the curse.

If the word "curse" came out of his own mouth, it would be a bit confusing and the credibility would not be that high.

But if the other party thinks so, it's completely different.

After Qin Zhibo mentioned this, Yamagishi Sakae really started thinking in this direction.

Someone who was recently related to Ms. Yoko and died

Isn't that

Yamagishi Sakae: "!"

Looking back on the unfortunate things Okino Yoko has encountered frequently recently, there is indeed something wrong with them.

While walking on a busy street, her hat was suddenly blown away by the strong wind. Passers-by recognized Ms. Yoko and rushed to ask for her autograph. They were almost injured during the pushing.

When returning home, a flower pot accidentally fell from the apartment building and almost hit Ms. Yoko.

During the recording of "Good Morning 7 O'Clock: Yoko Okino's 4-Minute Cooking Time", I accidentally cut my hand while chopping vegetables.

When I go to the shrine to pray for blessings and ring the bell, the bell and the hemp rope fall directly from the top.

I was rear-ended while riding in a car.

I fell down the stairs on my way out this morning.

The wooden board above the toilet fell off.

If we add the murder case we encountered today, it would be another unlucky thing.

And all of this happened after that man died!

Thinking of this, Yamagishi Rong quickly explained.

"In fact, just two weeks ago, Miss Yoko's ex-boyfriend from high school committed suicide at Miss Yoko's home."

"At that time, he disguised the suicide scene as a homicide and wanted to frame Yoko, but fortunately Detective Mori solved the case."

"Is it him who cursed Miss Yoko?"

When Qin Zhibo heard this, he and Koizumi Hongzi's guess was correct.

Qin Zhibo could guess the motive even without Yamagishi Sakae elaborating.

It must be that this ex-boyfriend saw that Okino Yoko was a popular female artist, beautiful and rich, so he chased her and wanted to get back together. After being rejected, he grew to hate her because of love.

In this case

Qin Zhibo was sorting out his thoughts when Yamagishi Sakae suddenly kowtowed to Qin Zhibo repeatedly. While kowtowing back, he begged: "Please be sure to save Miss Yoko!"

"Miss Yoko works very hard. I don't want to see Yoko's acting career ruined by that person!"

"Please! Please!"

Seeing that Yamagishi Sakae was kneeling on the ground and begging sincerely, Qin Zhibo would certainly not be so unkind.

"It's okay to save people, but this matter is also quite difficult for me, so..."

Qin Zhibo had a very embarrassed expression on his face, and Yamagishi Sakae, as a professional agent with many years of experience in social circles, immediately understood.

"I know it! I know it!"

"I will definitely not treat you badly in terms of remuneration. As long as it can save Miss Yoko from bad luck, we are willing to pay any amount!"

After the goal was achieved, Qin Zhibo explained the next things to Yamagishi Rong.

"Tomorrow I need to go to the place where Okino Yoko's ex-boyfriend committed suicide."

"no problem!"

The next day, in front of a high-end apartment building in Mihua City, Qin Zhibo and Koizumi Hongzi met with Yamagishi Sakae as scheduled.

"Excuse me."

Although Yamagishi Sakae had seen the red-haired lady following Qin Zhibo yesterday, he even had the idea of ​​​​pulling her into the entertainment industry.

But after all, we are talking about business today, and it would be bad if we bring irrelevant people with us.

"She's my assistant."

"oh"

Qin Zhibo explained casually, and Yamagishiro didn't ask any more questions, and led the two of them to the apartment building.

Koizumi Hongzi, who was walking behind, hurriedly approached Qin Zhibo's ear and asked: "When did I become your assistant? You are my assistant."

"Don't you want to show your face? Then I can only introduce you like this."

In this regard, the arrogant Koizumi Hongzi could only accept it.

In the elevator, Yamagishi Sakae briefly introduced the suicide case of Okino Yoko's ex-boyfriend.

The name of this ex-boyfriend is Fujie Mingyi, and he was Okino Yoko’s high school boyfriend.

Later, after Yamagishii actively persuaded and promised to give a breakup fee, Fujie Akiyoshi took the initiative to break up with Okino Yoko.

But just some time ago, Fujie Akiyoshi suddenly wanted to get back together with Okino Yoko.

As a result, an actress named Ikezawa Yuko happened to be dissatisfied with Okino Yoko for stealing her position as the heroine of a TV series. She stole the spare key of Yoko's house and broke into Yoko's house to cause damage.

Fujie Mingyi, who wanted to come to get back together, happened to run into Ikezawa Yuko who came in to cause trouble. He mistook Ikezawa Yuko's back for Okino Yoko, and wanted to come forward to speak but was met with fierce resistance.

In the end, Fujie Mingyi felt resentful and thought of committing suicide to frame others.

"These were the reasonings of the Maori detectives at the time."

"Oh, here we are, right here."

The elevator stopped at the 25th floor. Yamagishi Sakae led the two of them through the long corridor, took out the key and opened a door.

"This is Miss Yoko's original residence."

"Because the police said they might need to come here to collect evidence in the future, the living room where Fujie Akiyi committed suicide remained unchanged."

On the floor, the white fixed line of corpse traces carved out a stocky human silhouette, with an upright chair next to it.

"At that time, Fujie Akiyoshi fixed the sharp knife with ice cubes, then jumped from the chair onto the sharp knife and committed suicide."

Yamagishi Sakae continued to describe Fujie Akiyoshi's suicide method, while Qin Zhibo pretended to be thinking, turned around and walked next to Koizumi Anko, and asked quietly: "Did you see anything?"

"Hmm" Koizumi Hongzi thought: "Even if it's not magic, there should be a ritual formation for curses here."

"But it's very clean here. I can't tell where the ritual array is."

Koizumi Hongzi was at an impasse, while Qin Zhibo searched the room based on his own experience.

When he looked up at the ceiling, Qin Zhibo noticed that the living room lights in this high-end apartment building were a little strange.

Next to the normal fluorescent tube, there is a thinner and shorter tube.

"What kind of light is that?"

Yamagishi Sakae looked in the direction of Qin Zhibo's finger and explained: "That is the ultraviolet germicidal lamp that is standard in this building."

“Where’s the switch for this light?”

"Well - please wait a moment. This light switch is controlled by a separate remote control. I need to find it first."

Soon, Yamagishi Rong found the remote control in the cabinet at the entrance and handed the remote control to Qin Zhibo's hand.

When the switch is pressed, the ultraviolet lamp starts to work after a buzzing sound.

The not very dazzling purple light instantly filled the entire living room, making the atmosphere of the entire space start to feel weird.

But what really makes people feel weird is not the ultraviolet light, but a ritual array that is revealed under the ultraviolet light.

It consists of several irregular rings, five-pointed stars and other patterns, as well as some strange characters with hooks and hooks. Under the irradiation of ultraviolet light, they show a faint fluorescent color.

And in the very center of the entire ritual array was the fixed line of traces of Fujie Akiyoshi's body.
