The Grammatical Investigator in Conan

"Who are you calling?"

Koizumi Hongzi in the back seat saw Qin Zhibo a little nervous and asked in confusion.

Qin Zhibo held the steering wheel with one hand and put away his mobile phone with the other hand, "It's the God of Death..."

"I'm on the phone with Death, telling him not to come over tonight."

"The God of Death?" Koizumi Hongzi had a question mark on her face.

Kuroba Kaito raised his eyebrows and shrugged his shoulders.

He sat close and heard that the voice leaking from the phone was that of a child. He was immature but had a calmness that was different from his peers.

That's not Death.

That is obviously my "brother"!

…

Eastern suburbs forest.

Before nightfall, Qin Zhibo and the others finally arrived at their destination.

This is a large-scale European-style villa. The earth-red walls and white columns outline strong lines, making its architectural style look more modern.

Compared with the Blue Castle and the Matsumoto Ryohei family's large house, which are both located in the same forest, this villa was built not long ago. It should have been built here by an urban upstart recently.

Qin Zhibo took out his mobile phone and checked the signal condition of the mobile phone.

Yo~

Is it possible to have signals even if it’s not Huawei?

Perhaps because this villa is newly built, taking into account signal issues, mobile phones can also make calls here.

In addition, there were no tunnels or suspension bridges on the way to block the passage, so the Blizzard Villa mode was basically impossible.

Did he misunderstand Conan this time?

While Qin Zhibo was observing the surrounding environment, Koizumi Hongzi had walked straight to the front door of the villa and was about to knock on the door.

There was a light on the ceiling of the porch, and several windows in the villa were lit, indicating that someone was inside.

Dude, dunk, dunk.

After three muffled sounds and a short wait, the door was slowly opened.

I saw a figure wearing a hood and cloak standing in the dark room, and half of the face under the shadow of the hood showed a confused smile.

"It seems that the last psychic has arrived tonight..."

"Everyone, let's welcome the newcomers together."

Following the other party's melodious announcement, several cloaked figures walked out of the darkness behind him, their positions staggered.

This strange scene made Kuroba Kaito at the door tremble, with goosebumps all over the floor.

Do you have to be so arrogant?

But in Qin Zhibo's field of vision, these people did not cover their faces deliberately. No matter how mysterious they were, the basic information above their heads revealed their true identities.

It turned out to be a group of chuunibyou...

"Yes, we will witness it together tonight."

"The witch's magic will reveal the truth..."

Koizumi Anko, who was wearing a red robe, was the closest to the group of people, but she didn't look frightened at all. She had an evil smile on her lips, which seemed to match the brainwaves of these people.

"Ha ha!"

"What an interesting young lady..."

"Everyone, it's inconvenient to stand at the door and talk. Come in first."

…

As Koizumi Hongzi, Qin Zhibo, and Kuroba Kaito entered, the huge chandelier in the hall was turned on, and the entire space instantly became brighter.

"Hello, I am Reiki Hirasaka, the author of "Dark Magical Girl"."

"Nice to meet you."

The leading man took off the hood on his head, and he turned out to be a handsome man with long hair, clear eyes, and a handsome face that could not be overstated as a jade crown.

Tsk, long-haired pretty boy...

Seeing other men who could compete slightly with his appearance, Kuroba Kaito curled his lips, secretly disdainful.

Qin Zhibo was not too surprised. Generally, male authors who create female-oriented works tend to be more feminine.

It's just that this handsome guy's appearance is indeed too girly. If he didn't speak, he wouldn't be much worse than Cheng Shi.

Maybe Brother Chengshi can also adopt this style in the future?

Facing a handsome guy of this level, Koizumi Anko, who has seen the world, remained calm and just said hello symbolically.

"Hello, please give me some advice."

Such a plain attitude made other people in the villa look shocked, and there was some disbelief in their eyes.

Not to mention Hirasaka's appearance, generally those who come to the party are loyal fans of the manga and have a certain admiration for the manga artist himself.

How can any girl not be pregnant?

This young girl at that time was not excited at all when she saw her idol?

But since you're not interested, why are you dressed so... professionally?

Compared with the other people in the room who wore uniform black cloaks and ordinary clothes under the cloak, Koizumi Hongzi completely gave this group of inferior cosplayers a dimension-reducing blow.

The high-end crimson cloak and exposed exotic clothes perfectly accentuate her nearly perfect figure, exuding the arrogance of a queen.

Hirasaka himself was also surprised. He was about to turn around to introduce the others so that the green leaves could highlight his handsomeness, but Koizumi Anko beat him to it.

"Let me introduce the person I brought here. This is Qin Zhibo."

Just as Qin Zhibo was about to step forward to say hello to a few people and check to see if anyone had an abnormal expression when they heard that he was a detective, a man wearing glasses took the initiative to come out of the crowd.

"It's actually the famous detective Qin Zhibo!"

"I didn't expect to meet you in this place! What a pleasure to meet you!"

Qin Zhibo glanced at the information above the other party's head. His name was Hachikawa Hiroshi, and he was a TV director by profession.

No wonder I can recognize myself...

"Hello, nice to meet you too."

Seeing that the other party was quite enthusiastic, Qin Zhibo didn't want to refute his face, so he shook hands with the other party.

"My name is Yachuan Hiroshi..."

"Actually, I have heard of your name a long time ago. Some time ago, our TV station planned to produce a travel show from the perspective of a famous detective. We have also been considering you for a long time~"

"…Thank you for considering me."

Qin Zhibo's inner os: Since I was not adopted in the end, then don't say it!

The two of them retreated, and just as Koizumi Anko was about to introduce another person, Kuroba Kaito took the initiative to come out and come to the two girls behind the crowd.

He bowed slightly and bowed gracefully like a gentleman, with a mysterious smile on his lips.

"I, Kuroba Kaito, am just a magician..."

Uh-huh!

Suddenly, Kuroba Kaito suddenly raised his hands. Before anyone could react, two roses appeared in his hands and were handed to two girls at the same time, one on the left and the other on the right.

"To you, my lovely ladies~"

"Wow~"

Everyone present did not expect Kuroba Kaito's sudden magic trick, and showed surprised expressions.

Only Qin Zhibo and Koizumi Hongzi were accustomed to this.

Flirting, just Flirting hard.

You can't marry someone, so why are you teasing her?

The girl with yellow hair and wavy hair was full of surprise and immediately took the rose with both hands, "Thank you for the flowers and the magic~"

"My name is Utagura Akiko, and I am a photo idol who is about to debut. Please take good care of me~"

This Utagura Akiko seems to be a professional player, and she can handle Kuroba Kaito's unexpected flirting offensive with ease. She looks very enthusiastic, but in fact she is as steady as an old dog, and she doesn't even blush.

In contrast, the girl with short hair who looked a little quiet next to her was holding roses in her hands, her face was flushed, and she was already in a state of confusion.

Seeing this scene, Kuroba Kaito took the initiative to step forward and ask.

"This lovely young lady, what is your name?"

"I-Izumi...Izumi Maho..." the short-haired girl replied weakly.

"Miss Izumi, nice to meet you~"

Kuroba Kaito stopped flirting with girls at the right time, otherwise he felt that tonight he would have the opportunity to experience what "sex is the first level of a boy".

After Kuroba Kaito's fancy way of self-introduction, the rest of the group's self-introductions were lackluster.

The remaining three men introduced themselves in turn.

One is a bronze-skinned man with yellow hair and a professional photo photographer named Ryuichi Mifune.

Qin Zhibo: Huh? Why do you remember that there was a person named Mifune in a previous case?

One is a man with a square face and thick eyebrows with prominent cheekbones. He is a professional doctor named Kazuo Park.

Qin Zhibo: Doctors also play seance? Which hospital? I'll stay away from now on...

The last one is a fat otaku who wears glasses and is a figure creator by profession, named Kerfeng.

This fat nerd appears in the most abstract way. When others introduce him, he is repeatedly rubbing his big fat face against the body of a beautiful girl figure.

Koizumi Hongzi's eyes showed no trace of disgust.

The TV director Hachikawa Koji who was standing next to him explained: "Mr. Ko Erfeng is a loyal fan of Miss Huang, and this figure is also made based on Miss Huang's image of the witch in the movie "Dark Magic Girls"..."

At this point, the 7 people in the room, plus 3 Qin Zhibo, a total of 10 people have been introduced.

Qin Zhibo took a look. Fortunately, Maoli's family of three didn't come, otherwise the number of people would have been too high.

Whether it’s the death toll or the number of suspects to choose from…

"Okay, are you all hungry already?"

As the host, Hirasaka stood up and spoke at the right time, "Everyone should go to the restaurant to finish eating. Our seance ceremony will not start normally until 8:00 pm."

He turned to look at Qin Zhibo and the others, "As for the costumes of the three of them during the psychic ceremony..."

Koizumi Hongzi shook her head and replied: "I will wear this suit, I don't need you to provide it."

"...Okay, the clothes of those two will be delivered to you after dinner."

At this time, Kuroba Kaito leaned next to Qin Zhibo's ear and asked in a low voice: "Can I have a white set?"

Qin Zhibo knew that he just thought about Kaitou Kidd's addiction again.

Why don't I want to wear yellow?

But after all, this is a group activity held on someone else's territory, so it's not good to not be gregarious.

"As the Romans do, do as the Romans do."

Qin Zhibo replied like this.

…

The villa was quite spacious, and everyone wandered around for half a minute before arriving at the restaurant.

The European-style long dining table placed in the middle of the restaurant reminded Qin Zhibo of the Dusk Villa in the past. There seemed to be many people dining in two rows.

Since the cartoonist has some money, but not that much, and there are no employees at home, the meals for dinner are all pre-made dishes bought in advance and need to be heated up first.

But fortunately, the taste is just right, and it can be considered a delicacy for hungry people.

Qin Zhibo and Kuroba Kaito ate more, while Koizumi Anko only ate a few bites, obviously not interested in the pre-made dishes.

"Miss, the food is not to your taste?" Host Hirasaka looked at Koizumi Anko and asked.

"Yes."

Koizumi Hongzi didn't get used to her faults and spoke frankly.

"Sorry, our theme this time is a séance, so we didn't prepare enough food..."

"As the host, I would like to sincerely apologize to you all for having a bad experience."

Hirasaka's attitude was very humble and polite, and he was understood by everyone.

At this time, Koizumi Hongzi suddenly interrupted him.

"It doesn't matter in terms of food. What I want to know is, how do you plan to let Ya Yuan Huang's soul descend?"

This topic immediately stunned everyone who was eating.

Everyone knows that the so-called seance is just a formal ritual, or activity.

No sane person would think that souls really exist in the world, and that they can even channel the souls of dead people.

Just because you like reading supernatural comics doesn’t mean you really believe in the existence of supernatural phenomena.

However, after being stunned for a moment, the host Hirasaka still smiled slightly.

"Ms. Quan, we plan to use the spirit seance ceremony in the "Black Magic Girl" comic to exactly restore the content in the book."

“For this purpose, I also prepared a ‘meditation room’ specifically for spiritual séance.”

"That's right." The photo girl with wavy yellow hair also agreed, "Due to the accident, that scene was not captured in the movie. If Miss Huang knew what we did for her, her soul in heaven would also be comforted..."

"Nonsense!"

Koizumi Hongzi's tone suddenly became harsh, "How is it possible to successfully summon spirits by doing this?"

ah?

Everyone's eyes were blank. This girl is quite beautiful. Is there something wrong with her brain?

Koizumi Hongzi continued: "If you want to successfully summon spirits, you must go through real magic rituals, driven by magic power, and command the demons in the underworld to guide the departed souls..."

The more Koizumi Hongzi talked, the more she went beyond Tsuna. Qin Zhibo, who was sitting next to him, couldn't listen anymore and quickly interrupted him.

"I'm sorry! This child is old and middle-aged."

"What are you talking about? I'm..."

Koizumi Hongzi frowned and wanted to reveal her identity to refute, but her voice was directly blocked by Qin Zhibo.

"You should follow your original plan. If it doesn't work, follow her ideas..."

Everyone looked confused, but nodded in agreement.

After all, who would care about a beautiful girl with an abnormal brain?

…

After dinner, there was still 1 hour left before the seance ceremony started.

After eating and drinking, Qin Zhibo and the other three rested in the room and spent the last time in various ways.

"Why didn't you let me speak at the dinner table just now?" Koizumi Hongzi asked in the room.

Qin Zhibo touched his forehead helplessly, "Sister, this is a witch comic book club. Who can believe it if you say you are a witch?"

"And your identity is exposed so easily. When these people see how powerful you are, won't they bother you to death in the future?"

"...That's true."

Koizumi Hongzi felt very happy when she heard that she was called "so powerful".

"But if I'm not psychic, how can I know who the murderer was who killed Ya Yuan Huang?"

Qin Zhibo picked up the "Dark Magic Girl" comic borrowed from Hirasaka, waved his hand and expressed relief.

"Okay~ Even if you don't use magic, you can still find the murderer."

"Sometimes, you have to believe in Ke Xue..."

Ah no, Conan didn't come today.

“It’s about believing in science!”
