The Grammatical Investigator in Conan

Qin Zhibo extinguished the burning candle next to him with his backhand, then used his night vision goggles to walk to the ceiling light switch in the room and turn on the light.

Suddenly, the room was filled with light.

"T-tape?"

"What tape?"

Seeing that everyone was still puzzled, Qin Zhibo took out the tape recorder from behind the photo, and a small loudspeaker was connected to the end of the tape recorder.

Qin Zhibo disconnected the tape recorder from the loudspeaker, pressed the play button, and the tape recorder continued to play the "ghost message" at normal volume.

"……anger!"

"No..."

The "ghost" in the tape started to speak like he was breathing heavily, but Qin Zhibo pressed the pause button again. Anyway, he just didn't let the "ghost" finish speaking.

After seeing this meticulous demonstration, everyone understood that there was nothing happening that could not be explained by science.

But there is still a certain stubborn person who refuses to accept it.

Feizhai, who loves to play with figurines, suddenly stood up from his seat and shouted: "Impossible! Xiao Huang's soul must be back!"

"How else do you explain the candles exploding and the plates falling?!"

"Well..."

Qin Zhibo walked to the cupboard calmly, took a quick glance at it, and saw the small motor still on the countertop.

I guess it was taken from an electric toy four-wheel drive?

The four-wheel drive brothers are furious!

Qin Zhibo picked up the motor and showed it to everyone, "Please see, the motor's shaft is wrapped with wires, fixed on the table, and controlled by remote control signals."

"besides……"

Qin Zhibo picked up the candle on the ground and missed Conan in his heart.

If Conan were here, he would definitely be able to explain these simple techniques alone, without having to do it himself at his age.

After picking up the candle, Qin Zhibo smelled the smell of gunpowder emanating from the candle head and immediately understood the method.

"Gunpowder is pre-buried in the candle. As long as it burns to a specific location, the gunpowder will explode."

Feizhai was still a little unconvinced, "How is this possible? I don't believe it!"

"Don't believe it?" Qin Zhibo picked up the candle on the candlestick next to him with his backhand. "The candle here was extinguished before it reached the gunpowder position, and it didn't have time to explode."

"Why don't you come over and try burning it?"

"Burn it!"

Fat Man put the treasured witch figure into his pocket, walked over and lit it with the candle on the lighter on the table.

The fire burned quietly, nothing happened.

Everyone stared for a few seconds, especially Feizhai. Seeing that nothing happened, he was about to start taunting.

"Look, there is no..."

As soon as he finished speaking, the candle suddenly burst.

Snapped!

The candle was broken in the middle, and the pieces of the candle fell on Feizhai, making a pig squeal.

"ah--!"

Qin Zhibo had wisely stood a little further away and was not affected by the explosion.

"In addition to these two agencies, you may not have noticed that the floor lamp here also shook during the ceremony just now..."

Qin Zhibo picked up the floor lamp and exposed the metal base, which was also equipped with a motor. However, this motor was as big as a palm and was probably taken from a large remote control car.

Several "strange things" that happened in the spirit seance ceremony just now were solved one by one, and everyone was speechless. They could only accept that it was not the return of Yayuan Huang's soul that caused all the strange phenomena.

"But who did this?" The yellow-haired man stood up and asked.

Qin Zhibo glanced at the people present and analyzed: "Although it seems that Mr. Kerfeng tried his best to defend the weird method, this is just due to having too much expectation for the success of the spirit ceremony."

"And since this is Mr. Hirasaka's territory, I think Mr. Hirasaka should explain it to everyone..."

Under the guidance of Qin Zhibo's words, everyone's eyes turned to Hirasaka who was sitting in the main seat.

Hirasaka was silent for a moment, then bent down to pick up the things at his feet and put them on the table.

Everyone was surprised to see that it was something that looked like a remote control.

Although everyone held each other's hands during the séance, Hirasaka used his foot to step on the remote control to turn on the motor.

"So, do you admit that you designed all this?" Qin Zhibo asked.

Hirasaka closed his eyes and nodded.

The prisoner caught... No, there was no prisoner.

Strictly speaking, this is at most a prank, and the process of revealing the method is extremely simple, comparable to "Approaching Science".

Because of this, Qin Zhibo felt that it would be best to leave this kind of work to Conan.

"Mr. Pu Zhimu, it seems that he is cheating..."

A faint smile appeared on Hirasaka's lips, and he confessed his accomplice without hesitation.

Park Zhimu, the doctor next to him, bowed his head and admitted.

"But...why are you two doing this?" the man with glasses asked.

The two were silent for a moment, and the doctor man explained.

"It's because someone is threatening us, so we have to..."

"Threat? What threat?"

Under Qin Zhibo's questioning, the doctor slowly told the whole story.

It turns out that the three people who had a party with Yayuan Huang in the villa a year ago have recently received photos from unknown people.

The photo is a group photo of several people, but among the people in the group photo, there is a shadow of Yahara Huang.

At first, the three of them regarded it as the excessive behavior of some fans and didn't take it seriously.

But half a month ago, one of the three, a comic editor, was killed at home. He was stabbed several times in the abdomen and died. The word "Kira" was also left on the scene.

The police investigation failed, but Hirasaka and Doctor Man, who are still alive, believe that the threatening person is the murderer.

And there are not many people who have that group photo, just everyone here today.

They just wanted to use today's seance ceremony to find out the threat.

"There was one dead person before today?"

Hearing this, Qin Zhibo suddenly became interested.

He immediately asked: "Is there any noteworthy information about that case, such as whether three people were present at the crime scene..."

"three people?"

The doctor man with cold sweat on his forehead shook his head, "The person who found the body was Akiko, I don't know about the others..."

Akiko is the blond girl who has been practicing for two and a half years and is about to debut as a photo idol.

Seeing that the topic turned to herself, the blonde girl quickly explained: "I just found the body, and I didn't see anyone else at the scene..."

Are the criminals smarter this time? Did you know you escaped?

Or is it a proof question?

Qin Zhibo muttered in his heart and continued to ask: "Why do you go to the comic editor's house at night? Give me a reasonable explanation."

"I……"

Just as the blonde girl was about to speak, Qin Zhibo reminded her further.

"I believe it won't be a simple reason for visiting friends. That kind of reason may be accepted by the police, but I am not one of those policemen."

"As long as I feel something is wrong, even if half a month has passed since the case, I believe that in my capacity, I can still let the police re-investigate the people involved in the case."

Social skills (intimidation), big win!

Forced by Qin Zhibo's stern words and scrutinized by a group of acquaintances, the blonde girl lowered her head and clenched her hands.

In the end she couldn't stand the pressure and confessed.

"That night, Mr. Zenan suddenly called me and said that a company needed a photo model, and I happened to meet the requirements..."

"So he asked me to discuss this matter that day..."

It's a familiar little movie plot.

Everyone in the meditation room fell silent. Even those who have never seen the movie know what this means.

In the dead of night, a man and a woman are alone in the same room.

At this time, the blonde girl seemed to feel the strange looks from the people around her and quickly raised her head to defend herself.

"I'm not that kind of person!"

"I just feel that the opportunity to debut is rare...but I will never do anything to sell my body!"

"I won this opportunity to debut based on my own strength!"

"I'm still a virgin!"

The blonde girl said something shocking, and everyone around her was stunned.

Japanese women are not as conservative as they think. Zero experience is even regarded as a shame. Only those who have no sexual charm will have zero experience.

What's more, the circle that the blonde girl belongs to uses her body and appearance as capital to make money. From a probability point of view, the probability of being perfect is low.

Qin Zhibo also looked shocked.

In fact, when she told her reasons, Qin Zhibo already believed her.

But what she forcibly added later was even more explosive.

When he saw that she was unmoved by Kuroba Kaito's methods of attracting girls by performing magic tricks and presenting flowers, Qin Zhibo thought that she had already seen countless men and was of a higher level.

But why did she have to defend herself about what happened next?

Who asked her if she was a virgin?

Qin Zhibo thought for a moment and looked at the blonde girl on the seat avoiding everyone's eyes, and suddenly thought of a possibility.

Oh, love~

She likes someone here, so she doesn't want to be misunderstood as a free-spirited girl.

Who is it?

Qin Zhibo looked around, and was about to dig deeper into the possible complicated relationships behind these people, when Koizumi Hongzi suddenly stood up from his seat.

"Since your séance is just a boring trick, let me do it."

Koizumi Hongzi has been patient for a long time. She has no interest in reasoning or anything. She originally planned to come here to channel.

Seeing that Koizumi Hongzi couldn't hold it in anymore, Qin Zhibo quickly came to her side and asked in a low voice: "Are you sure you want to do this?"

"People here are all 'Muggles'..."

Koizumi Hongzi replied: "It doesn't matter, everyone here believes it."

As long as you believe in the seance, you will not lose control of your emotions or go berserk when the seance is really successful, thereby disturbing the undead.

But Qin Zhibo felt that these people just now were just middle-class, and the atmosphere was quite good.

If it were replaced with real magic, there is no guarantee that they would not be frightened and turn into "Ye Gong".

But Koizumi Hongzi always performs magic vigorously and resolutely, and she does it as she says. She has already ordered people to find a mirror, and the mirror area must be as large as possible.

After a while, the man with the eyes and the man with the yellow hair brought a full-length mirror from the next room. It was oval in shape and about 1.2 meters long.

"Is this ok?"

"Can."

According to Koizumi Hongzi's instructions, the two placed the mirror in the corner of the room, away from the round table in the middle.

This is to prevent the magic power from escaping and accidentally activating the reversed seven-pointed star on the floor.

When the mirror was placed, Koizumi Anko put the hood on her head, and the mystery of the whole person instantly increased to a higher level.

Koizumi Anko stood in front of the mirror and murmured to herself.

"Actually, the easiest way to channel the dead is to use a mirror."

"Because the mirror is the door connecting the present world and the underworld. Under special conditions, as long as you look into the mirror, you can see the dead in another world."

"The disadvantage of this method is that it can only communicate with the deceased through the mirror in the simplest way. It is not a spiritual séance, and it is not even a channel."

"But this is enough to clear up the doubts in our hearts..."

After Koizumi Anko's science popularization, everyone came to the front of the mirror with some doubts, forming a quarter ring, surrounding Koizumi Anko and the mirror.

Koizumi Hongzi took out a ball of bright green powder from her body and sprinkled a handful in front of the mirror.

Immediately, she touched her right hand to the cold surface of the mirror, closed her eyes, and muttered something.

"The devil of Hades, the dead who rule the darkness..."

"Lend me your power..."

"Lend me your power..."

Koizumi Hongzi’s spell has no language restrictions and can be understood by anyone.

But the magic spell is not the key, the key lies in the magic power, which is the source of the success of all magic.

During the Salem Witch Trials, many women with magical powers were put on trial because they triggered some supernatural phenomena without even realizing it.

Since then, the sequence of witches has begun to be inherited in an orderly manner, and they will not easily show their power to the outside world.

Koizumi Anko appeared here, also using a fake name and identity - name: Izumi Anko, occupation: street fortune teller.

"Lend me your power...God of the Sabbat..."

Koizumi Hongzi's voice was always low, which was very different from her usual slightly shrill voice.

In the dim atmosphere, everyone was so nervous that they didn't even dare to take a breath for fear of missing the fleeting ghost figure in the mirror.

Among them is Qin Zhibo.

Different from the collective spiritual seance ceremony that made people pull their hips at the first sight, Qin Zhibo knew that Koizumi Hongzi's ability was genuine.

Although I know how to channel spirits, my success rate of channeling is not high, especially for the deceased who I have never seen with my own eyes, who died a long time ago, and whose body has not been found.

Even if he was a psychic, he would not do it in front of so many people.

Otherwise, if word spreads, he will no longer need to be a famous detective, and he will directly change his job to become a magician.

Or Soul Detective, it seems to be a bit of a trick, after all, there is an uncle who looks like an Indian who does it.

In any case, it is better to leave this place to the more professional Koizumi Hongzi.

…

Koizumi Hongzi recited the magic spell over and over again.

Suddenly, Koizumi Hongzi opened her eyes, with a look of shock in her beautiful eyes.

She slowly withdrew her warm palm, leaving a circle of light vapor around the outline of her palm on the mirror surface.

Everyone saw Koizumi Hongzi's movements and took a closer look at the mirror. They found that everyone's faces were still reflected in the mirror without any change.

"what happened?"

"Is this... the end?"

"No, should it have started?"

Facing everyone's doubts, Koizumi Hongzi stood there without answering.

Upon seeing this, Qin Zhibo quickly stepped forward to ask.

"What's going on? Are relatives coming to the house today?"

Koizumi Anko shook her head slightly.

"No……"

"It's her soul that's not in the mirror..."
