The Grammatical Investigator in Conan

"Young man, do you also want to spread the fire?"

A gloomy and mocking voice sounded from behind the three little boys of the Young Detective Team.

The three little heads trembled suddenly, and they looked back tremblingly. It was the returning arsonist standing behind them.

The three little ones were so frightened that they subconsciously stepped back, while the arsonist fiddled with the dagger in his hand. The rough shape became even more sinister and terrifying against the firelight.

"What? Don't you want to spread the fire?"

"Then I can only deal with the three of you together. You will be the most important sacrifice in this grand carnival tonight."

As he spoke, the arsonist stuck out his tongue and licked the cold light of the dagger.

Bliss——

"ah!"

The three frightened little ones screamed and started running for their lives.

Since the three little ones often performed various acts of seeking death and developed an escape ability that was pretty good among their peers, it took the arsonist half a minute to catch up with Ayumi who was running at the back.

"No! No!"

As a professional hostage, Ayumi struggled and cried, attracting Mitsuhiko and Gentai who were running in front to turn around.

"Let go of Ayumi!"

The arsonist held Ayumi captive in his arms, pointed the dagger in his other hand at Ayumi's head, and said with a sinister smile, "You guys, please come back."

But before the arsonist finished speaking, another childish voice sounded behind him. When he looked back, he saw that it was a little girl with brown hair.

"Do you know what a garbage-eating monster is?"

The brown-haired child stood quietly with his hands behind his back, telling the riddle without any panic, which surprised the arsonist that the child was so calm.

Um? Isn't she afraid of me?

But the next second, a trash can flew from not far away and hit the arsonist directly on the head.

Bang!

Boom——

Of course it was Conan who kicked out the trash can.

According to incomplete statistics, Conan used the prisoner's head as a kicking target far more times than he used football to shoot, so football is a fighting skill here in Conan.

As the metal trash can fell to the ground with a "thud", Conan, not far away, grinned helplessly and made a higher and stronger small goal for himself in his heart.

Please, can you find something cooler to play with next time?

When the crisis was over, Conan turned off the tourmaline activation knob on his foot strength-enhancing shoes, walked over to the three little ones, and started scolding them.

"What did you do? Didn't I tell you not to move around? Why..."

Before Conan could finish his words, five men in red robes suddenly came out of the two exits of the alley, approaching the five members of the Young Detective Team in a flanking manner.

"Why are there children here?"

"Isn't that a weapon? Why did he fall here?"

"Did this brat do it?"

Hearing this, Conan's eyes widened and he felt incredible.

This arsonist actually has an accomplice!

Ayumi, who was not aware of this, wanted to run forward and ask the five red-robed men for help, but was held back by Haihara Ai next to her.

"Don't go there! They are accomplices of the arsonist."

"What?"

The three frightened little ones quickly formed a ball and huddled in fear behind Haihara Ai and Conan, who were still calmly confronting the enemy.

There are people in and around the alley, but there is only one trash can and one anesthesia needle. What should I do?

Just when Conan was still thinking about how to struggle, a man in red robes at the head took out a shiny pistol from his arms.

"Tie them up with ropes!"

After a while, the five members of the Young Detective Team were tied up with ropes and thrown in front of the flames.

The flames in front of the warehouse were burning brightly enough, and billowing black smoke began to fill the air.

"It's almost time. We have to complete the ceremony before anyone discovers us."

The leader, a red-robed man, took off his hood. Under the dazzling firelight, Conan discovered that this man looked somewhat similar to the arsonist he kicked down.

Except that this man's beard has been taken care of and his hair is cleaner and shorter than the ears, he is exactly the same as the arsonist in other aspects!

Are they twins?

Five men in red robes formed a fan-shaped array to surround the burning flames and the young detective team in front of the fire, and began to chant a unified mantra.

"Ph'nglui mgfw'nafh"

Mysterious and unknown spells were spoken fluently from the mouths of the five men in red robes.

As the chanting progressed, the leader in red robes raised his two arms in coordination and stared seriously at the flames that lit up the night sky.

Conan and Haiyuan Ai looked at this scene with wide eyes and surprise. They were surprised that in this modern society with rapid technological development, some people actually believe in spells?

This kind of scene of chanting mantras that only appears in fantasy works actually appears in the real world!

Judging from the proficiency of these arsonist associates in reciting such complex incantations, it is not an ordinary job for them, but specially trained.

But even though Conan and Haihara Ai used their respective strong language knowledge bases to carefully identify the language used in this spell, they still couldn't figure out what kind of language this spell was written in.

The only thing that can be felt is the solemn and hot sacred breath coming from this spell.

Conan: Will -5

Haihara Ai: Will -8

Near the warehouse in the Sixth District of Shinagawa District, Qin Zhibo and Koizumi Hongzi also traced the traces of the source of magic.

Ever since entering Shinagawa District, Koizumi Anko felt the increasingly strong magical aura.

This shows that the magic circle is already activated.

Under the leadership of "Magic Tracker" Koizumi Hongzi, the two also came to the warehouse area.

The warehouses here will be demolished next month. They are now abandoned and almost no one comes here at night.

Until the fire is not big enough to break through the cage blocked by high-rise buildings in the city, pedestrians outside the warehouse area will not be able to see the fire here and will not call the fire alarm immediately.

Qin Zhibo and Koizumi Hongzi chased to the deepest part of the warehouse area. They first saw five men in red robes standing around the flames chanting, and then they saw the five young detectives tied in front of the fire.

Um?

Why are these people here?

Thinking of the free-for-all attributes of the Young Detective Team and Bumi's excellent luck as an investigator, Qin Zhibo felt less surprised again.

Qin Zhibo continued to observe the scene with the light of the sky, and discovered that the red-robed man with open arms was the Zoroastrian priest he saw during the day, Kuchiki Feiyan.

In addition, Qin Zhibo saw a fainted person at Kuchiki Hiyan's feet. The slovenly image of a homeless man should be the arsonist Ayumi saw.

Judging from the message above his head, his name is Kuchiki Hyōzo.

It turns out that the arsonist and the Zoroastrian priest are the same family.

It is very likely that the last investigator sent by the Nine Angels organization discovered this, was discovered when he was tracked near the arson scene, and was killed.

At this time, Koizumi Hongzi, who was leaning behind Qin Zhibo, slapped Qin Zhibo's waist.

Qin Zhibo looked back, and Koizumi Hongzi gave him a look that meant what to do next.

The other party was a fanatical believer who killed without blinking an eye, and there were so many people there that Qin Zhibo could only make a gesture of waiting and wait, lying on the wall and continuing to look for opportunities to rescue the young detective team.
