The Grammatical Investigator in Conan

"How could this happen! Where are those masks?"

Looking at the empty mask stands around them, Koizumi Hongzi and Qin Zhibo were both very surprised.

At this time, Qin Zhibo remembered that Shimo Kasa Honami had told him not to go out at night, because Xiao Buer's mask would cause trouble at night.

Every time after dawn, these masks either tilted left or right, or fell directly to the ground.

Could it be that what the maid said was true?

Qin Zhibo: Will -2

Koizumi Anko: Will -4

"Ignore this for now, use magic to detect the location of the 'Pale Mask'."

"Um"

Both of them believed in metaphysics, and their speed of regaining their composure was pretty good, and their willpower didn't drop too much.

Koizumi Anko took off the necklace around her neck, grabbed the chain part, and let the red crystal necklace hang under her right hand.

As Koizumi Hongzi concentrated, a light red magic power visible to the naked eye floated out of her body and slowly gathered on the red crystal pendant.

Driven by magic, the necklace slowly drew a circle in the air, and then suddenly changed its movements and began to swing back and forth violently, twisting like a snake.

After waiting for a few more seconds, the pendulum-like pendant was finally fixed towards a certain direction on the west side of the villa.

"It's around here, probably in a room on the third floor on the west side."

Koizumi Hongzi made a categorical judgment. At the same time, she put away the necklace in her hand, put it back on her neck, and continued: "On the third floor on the west side, only the woman named Su Fang Hongzi lives. Could it be in her room?"

"Maybe"

Just when Qin Zhibo was deep in thought, the east door of the mask hall suddenly heard a violent turning of the door handle, and at the same time, Mouri Kogoro's shouts sounded outside the door.

"The door here is locked!"

"Xiaolan, Conan! Go get the maid and open the door!"

Mouri Kogoro's voice was urgent, as if something very urgent had happened.

"Will the detective find us?"

Koizumi Hongzi subconsciously moved a little closer to Qin Zhibo, and the two of them were close to the window.

Qin Zhibo frowned, remembering that when he left the room, Mouri Kogoro was snoring loudly. It was unlikely that he suddenly woke up so completely, and rushed to the mask hall as soon as he woke up.

There must be other things.

But now Qin Zhibo has no time to analyze what happened, because time is passing by minute by minute.

When the maid brought the key and opened the door, she and Koizumi Anko were speechless when they saw these disappeared masks.

There are people guarding the east door now, and the west door is locked from the outside. The only way is to go back through the ventilation duct.

But just when Qin Zhibo wanted to escape from the ventilation duct with Koizumi Hongzi, he looked up and found that the iron grid on the ventilation duct had been covered at some point.

Qin Zhibo remembered that Koizumi Hongzi, who jumped down second, also jumped down twice in a row and had no time to cover the iron grid.

This made Qin Zhibo immediately realize something. Someone had just passed by in the ventilation duct.

If the two of them climb in together now, they will inevitably encounter the person in the pipe.

"What should we do now?"

The sound at the door fell silent, and Koizumi Hongzi became even more frightened, leaning closely against Qin Zhibo.

Qin Zhibo's brain was quick and he immediately thought of a countermeasure.

"I learned an invisibility spell from a book. Try it and see if it might work."

When Koizumi Hongzi was about to complain about how the invisibility spell she saw randomly could work, Qin Zhibo had already taken the lead in reciting the spell.

Of course, the Maori family was not awakened by the little actions of Qin Zhibo and Koizumi Hongzi, but by an intercom call to the Maori family's room.

The voice on the intercom was high-pitched and strange, saying that he was the messenger of the Cursed Mask, and that the Cursed Mask was eager to drink blood, and if he didn't hurry up, it would be too late.

Due to their judgment during the day, Conan and Mouri Kogoro immediately thought that the other party's target was probably the organizer of the charity party, Ms. Su Fanghongzi.

So, the Maori family rushed to the west wing to rescue the person.

But when he rushed to the connecting mask room, he found that the door was locked.

This time the Maori family did not choose to break the door violently, but honestly went to find someone to get the key.

In the east wing, Maori Lan and Conan followed Maori Kogoro's instructions and went to the first floor to find the maid.

In the darkness where they could barely see their fingers, neither of them turned on the lights because there was no need.

Wearing slippers, Mao Lilan jumped directly from the more than ten steps and easily jumped to the ground on the first floor.

As expected of Xiaolan, what a skill!

Conan admired in his heart, and not to be outdone, he jumped up a few steps and finally landed in a handsome posture.

Mao Lilan, who arrived on the first floor first, had already knocked on the door of the maid's room. Conan felt that there was no need for another person to knock on the door, so he ran to the door to try the entrance door.

He stepped on the chair and turned the door handle. The door was locked tightly, indicating that the gangster was probably in the villa.

When Mao Lilan called up the sleepy maid, the three of them went to the kitchen to get the keys and ran to the third floor together.

When passing by the second floor, Conan glanced at Qin Zhibo's room.

Such a loud noise didn't wake him up yet?

Conan was a little confused and was about to knock on the door, but then he thought about it and felt that this was a great opportunity for him to lead Qin Zhibo.

If a case really happened, if I had started investigating and reasoning a few minutes earlier, I might be able to deduce the truth earlier than Qin Zhibo.

Qin Zhibo looked frustrated

As a "scheming frog", Conan turned around and continued running to the third floor.

A double chant rang out in the hall of masks.

"No one can see me, for I am invisible in Lost Carcosa."

"No one can see me because of me."

"The ragged mist hides me, and those who pass by me are blinded."

"Ragged Mist"

When Qin Zhibo finished singing first, his body actually became invisible for an instant.

Qin Zhibo looked at his transparent body in disbelief, feeling very surprised in his heart.

Originally, Qin Zhibo did not intend to really rely on this spell to become invisible. Instead, he used this spell as a cover to secretly put on the magic extractor and use the magic ring to become invisible after reciting the spell.

But I didn't expect that this was actually a real invisibility spell.

"Where have you been?"

"Where are you? Don't leave me alone."

Koizumi Hongzi stood there tremblingly, looking around at a loss, and shouted softly.

Qin Zhibo's sudden disappearance, coupled with the possibility of opening the mask hall door at any time, made the witch lady a little panicked.

Qin Zhibo didn't know how to remove the invisibility for the time being, so he could only reach out to touch Koizumi Hongzi.

But as soon as the palm of his hand reached into the dark shadow where the moonlight could not reach, a hand covered with blue and black pajama sleeves was revealed.
