The Grammatical Investigator in Conan

Chapter 717 Internal strife?

"curse?"

Everyone present was stunned, why did this fake Qin Zhibo still play the trick of the man in red with long hair.

“Tch, if you don’t want to watch it, don’t watch it.”

"Anyway, I, Kogoro Mouri, can solve the case on my own without any need for reminders from others."

Mouri Kogoro took back his hand that was about to tear open the envelope.

Curse kills people, of course Mouri Kogoro doesn't believe it.

But not believing it doesn’t mean you don’t hate it.

This is like a haunted house. Most people think that there are no ghosts in this world, but they will not buy a house where a murder has occurred.

Being cursed for no reason will always make you feel a little uncomfortable.

And is there anything worth adopting from a fake person?

If the famous detective Mouri Kogoro opened other people's "tips" in public, he would be at a disadvantage.

"Police Officer Yamamura, I'll leave the letter with you for safekeeping."

"For the sake of my reputation, Kogoro Moori, I must find the real murderer before 11:30!"

Yamamura Cao took the envelope and gave a standard salute, "Yes!"

On the other hand, Conan rolled his eyes and said helplessly: Hey, don't make random guarantees, you are not the one responsible for reasoning!

With the "provocation" of the impostor, Kogoro Mori personally went into battle to check the alibi.

Conan ran over and called to the hotel owner, raised his head and asked, "Well, Uncle Qin, did he say where he was going?"

"No," the hotel owner shook his head, "I was driving towards the forest anyway."

Conan frowned, feeling that things were not simple.

This fake Qin Zhibo left an envelope and then went into the forest in the middle of the night. It was really suspicious.

However, it is also possible that he knew that his fake identity would be exposed sooner or later, so he left first.

It's just that this fake Qin Zhibo always gives Conan an unusual feeling.

The impostor could tell at first glance that it was a homicide, was keenly aware of the hair problem, and deliberately left an envelope identifying the real culprit.

Compared with this fake Qin Zhibo, the real Kogoro Mori looks like a fake.

He can't be real, can he?

As soon as this idea came up, Conan shook his head and got rid of this unrealistic idea.

First of all, he could confirm that the face was indeed not Qin Zhibo's. This could not be changed by makeup.

Secondly, it was not the first time that Qin Zhibo collided with Mao Li and his group. There was no need to pretend to be Qin Zhibo to hide his true identity.

No matter what, I have to find the real culprit before 11:30!

Conan encouraged himself in his heart, not only to protect Mouri Kogoro's reputation, but also to give himself a breath.

Otherwise, if the news about their loss to the fake Qin Zhibo reaches my ears, it will really make me laugh out loud.

Thinking of this, Conan was about to take action when he noticed something was wrong.

If the counterfeit Qin Zhibo has written down the answer now, then as long as the opponent accurately hits the real murderer, wouldn't he have already lost anyway?

this.

Forget it, believe first, then question.

As soon as Conan left, a hotel employee ran to the hotel owner and reported: "The two ladies who booked the room on the second floor the day before yesterday have not come to the hotel yet."

"Really?" The hotel owner pondered for a moment, "There's nothing we can do about it. Maybe they changed their minds temporarily."

"Young people today can easily change their minds."

In the forest of Tou Shen, Qin Zhibo was driving slowly forward in a rented Mazda 323.

Wearing white gloves on his hands, he looked dressy, like a family butler.

But in fact, this is the magic extractor and the GPS for Qin Zhibo's trip.

According to the instructions of the magic extractor, Kinoshita Tomonori is now somewhere in the Tougami Forest.

In order not to miss the moment when Kinoshita Tomonori committed the crime, Qin Zhibo could only leave the Aoiya Hotel in advance to prevent being detained by Mouri Kogoro and others.

In the hotel just now, whether I deduced or not deduced the truth of the case, I would be kept and questioned carefully because of my fake identity.

In this case, it would be better to escape before the police force arrives.

However, in order not to miss the reward of the side mission, Qin Zhibo also left the envelope with the murderer's name in the hotel.

If Conan doesn't solve the case on time, he only needs to open the envelope and see the murderer's name to understand everything.

If Conan accepts his help to solve the case, he will be rewarded with side missions.

As for the restriction that it cannot be opened before 11:30, Qin Zhibo does not want the detectives and police to solve the case too early and enter the forest to look for him.

Although the curse was not convincing, Qin Zhibo was sure that with Mouri Kogoro's self-esteem, he would definitely not tear open the "tip bag" left by the impostor.

According to the "Detective's Bug" left in the lobby of Kuiwu Hotel, things were just as Qin Zhibo predicted.

Following the guidance of the Searching Object Spell, Qin Zhibo drove the car to an impassable section of the road, parked the car in the grass on the side of the road, and walked instead.

I turned on the navigator and checked the directions, then got out of the car and trudged for several kilometers through the terrifying forest where no sunlight was visible.

The tall and lush tree canopy almost blocked all the moonlight, making the forest extremely dark.

The dark underbrush and the endless woods combine to create a depressing and terrifying atmosphere.

Even if there are no ferocious beasts in this forest, few people are brave enough to attempt a forest walk in the middle of the night.

According to legend, there is a plague god in the forest of the head god who can cause headaches.

Anyone who suffers from frequent headaches will be immediately fascinated by the headache once they enter the depths of the forest, and will never be able to leave the forest again.

Because no one knows what it looks like, the elderly in Gunma County generally believe that the head god is a god lurking deep underground.

The Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva lying on the ground at the edge of the forest of the head god is called "Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva falling forward", which is used to suppress the plague god below.

In modern times, although legends are no longer popular, the inaccessibility of this place has attracted people who are discouraged by life, and it has become a famous suicide holy place.

The legend of the head god and the holy place of suicide combine to cast a mysterious and terrifying veil on this forest.

However, in the face of Qin Zhibo's 90 steel will, this kind of pediatric test cannot be regarded as a test.

The occasional "surprise" is that Qin Zhibo will indeed see some remnants of human camping in the forest, such as a dilapidated tent.

It is estimated that the owners of these tents have long since passed away.

Kinoshita Tomonori's location is much further than Qin Zhibo imagined, almost in the center of the entire Tougen Forest.

Qin Zhibo trekked for nearly an hour before finally seeing the target.

Surrounded by ugly roots and misshapen trees, a muddy black swamp is exposed.

There are several tents in the dry area on the edge of the black swamp. The tents are of different colors and look very incongruous in this primitive place.

What's more, these tents are not ownerless.

At the center of the black swamp lies an ugly island covered in fungus.

The red firelight illuminated the bare island. Against the backdrop of the torches, Qin Zhibo could see some flickering human shadows.

One, two, three.

Qin Zhibo hid in the distance, used the telescope to carefully count, and found that there were 11 people.

They were standing together in some kind of formation, holding their torches high,

This number was somewhat beyond Qin Zhibo's imagination. He originally thought that three or four core members of this cult would be quite large.

As long as he records the evidence of these people's crimes, and then gives them uniforms to the police, his plan will be completed.

But now that there are a lot of people, Qin Zhibo can only take a long-term approach and see what they are doing first.

Qin Zhibo quietly approached the edge of the black swamp, searched carefully, and found a dirt path leading to the central island.

At this time, the [Lord of the Rings] needs to come into play.

Qin Zhibo took out the magic ring from the toolbar and put it on the ring finger of his right hand.

The moment the golden ring covered his finger, Qin Zhibo's body became invisible.

He carefully walked onto the dirt path. The soft dirt was a natural walking step, allowing Qin Zhibo to board the island where the secret ceremony was held with almost no sound.

On this island of more than a hundred square meters, eight people stood in a circle holding torches, wearing uniform purple shawls and a semi-transparent veil covering their faces.

Surrounded among the eight people were two other men holding torches and a familiar face.

He has artist-like wavy hair and is none other than Kinoshita Tomonori.

In front of Kinoshita Tomonori were two women sitting on the ground with their hands and feet tied, and their mouths were also bound.

Judging from the casual tank tops worn by the two of them, they were probably visiting nearby and were kidnapped here by this group of Voodoo believers.

The two women could not make a sound, and could only look pitifully in their eyes, begging to be let go.

Kinoshita Tomoyo took a step forward, looked at the two women coldly, and said calmly: "I have no enmity or enmity with you."

"But for Japan's rebirth, you must sacrifice."

"Only by turning you into rain all over the sky can Japan take on a new look!"

Kinoshita raised his arms and shouted, which immediately caused the surrounding believers to scream wildly, like the unique sound of some kind of wild beast.

They held their torches high and made waves in the originally silent forest, and things immediately became terrifying.

Qin Zhibo came to his senses, quickly took out the video recorder he had prepared in his arms, and started recording.

Due to the characteristics of the Lord of the Rings, all objects held by Qin Zhibo will become invisible at the same time, so the video recorder will also become invisible at the same time.

Qin Zhibo held the video recorder, like a war photographer, and began to move among the Voodoo believers and record videos.

Because of his art and craft (photography) skills, Qin Zhibo often chooses tricky angles, pursuing not only the sense of the picture but also the presentation of complete information.

Take a close-up of Kinoshita Tomonori’s face

Qin Zhibo took the video recorder and walked quietly to a place two meters away from Kinoshita Tomonori. He squatted down slightly and pointed the camera at Kinoshita Tomonori's face.

Zoom in, close-up.

Kinoshita Tomonori's face was not blocked at all, and since he was the person that Master Qin Zhi wanted to deal with, he had to be photographed clearly.

Then take a close-up of the victim.

Qin Zhibo adjusted the camera and focused the camera on the two victims, expressing the victims' pity and helplessness from a condescending perspective.

There are other villains holding torches high and screaming wildly, and everyone has to be put on the screen.

With the help of photography technology, anyone who watches this videotape will feel the horror of the atmosphere at the scene, as well as the abomination of the perpetrator and the helplessness of the victim.

Qin Zhibo was holding a video recorder and was filming, while Kinoshita Tomoki raised his head and glanced at the sky.

Black clouds drifted past, and the bright moonlight reappeared on the earth. The black swamp was sparkling for a moment, which was so unrealistic.

"It's almost time."

"Untie it."

Kinoshita Tomonori gave an order, and the two men holding torches leaned forward and untied the two women.

The moment they were untied, the two of them immediately cried out and begged for mercy.

However, Kinoshita Tomonori was unmoved and ordered his men to control the people.

"Your sacrifice will not be in vain"

"Shout! Shout!"

"No one will pay attention to you if you scream at your throat. Instead, it will only attract the Baron to come to you, smelling the fear of the miserable people."

Kinoshita Tomoze glanced at him, and the two men next to him immediately took out their knives, as if they were going to do something.

Now, the two women screamed louder out of fear.

At the same time, other believers who covered their faces with veils began to cry out in the same way, and their hoarse voices even surpassed those of the seekers themselves.

In the midst of this chaos, Kinoshita raised his arms and chanted unsettling words amidst the dancing firelight and wails.

"Wake up, guide at the crossroads!"

"Lord of the Dead Tombs, Baron Baron Samedi! Wake up!"

"There are sacrifices here for you, and there are gifts for you to rest in peace. Please come to this forest!"

"The feeder of evil thoughts coming from the heart! The feeder of evil thoughts coming from the heart!"

"I curse you!"

"I hope you fall into a smoking stew, I hope a black snake bites your heel, I hope you're stung by a wasp while you're kneeling, and you're fed by bugs at night!"

"Baron Samedi, please respond to your faithful followers!"

"Here! Defeat their old enemy!"

As Tomonori Kinoshita read these words, the movements of his hands gradually became exaggerated.

Holding a tambourine in his hand, he danced amidst the endless wails, and the torches in the hands of believers also swayed.

Roaring and shrieking chants seemed to come from the abyss, spreading through the moonlit forest of the gods.

The ceremony reached its highest peak with the frenzy and carnival like primitive animals.

Qin Zhibo held the video recorder in his hand, watching the indescribable ritual ceremony in front of him, and felt some indescribable changes in the surrounding atmosphere.

There was a dark wind in the woods, and the leaves rustled, as if something was surging.

Turning his head and looking around, he saw a strange mist seeping from the shrubs next to the black swamp.

Qin Zhibo clearly remembers the scene depicted in "The Secret of the Worm". When the fog condenses in the cemetery, Baron Samedi will come from the fog.

It seems like Tomonori Kinoshita is really going to succeed!

The Tou Shen Forest is known as the Holy Land of Suicide and is simply a large natural cemetery.

Now, Qin Zhibo was a little panicked.

Although he is invisible now, is invisibility really useful for a supernatural being like Baron Samedi?

Thinking of the unpleasant "fight" last time, Qin Zhibo didn't want to see the baron again.

what to do?

We can only stop the ceremony immediately.

Qin Zhibo had just put away the video recorder and was about to take action when a commotion suddenly broke out among the believers.

I saw one believer suddenly holding up the torch in his hand, turning around and hitting another believer.

In an instant, sparks were everywhere!
