The Grammatical Investigator in Conan

Conan turned around and saw in surprise that four of the five red-robed men behind him fainted, and one fell to the ground whimpering in pain.

Kuchiki Hiyan's ability to withstand blows is relatively strong, or it may be due to the angle of the kick. He didn't faint from the pain immediately after being kicked by Qin Zhibo, and he still wanted to reach out to pick up the pistol that fell on the ground.

Qin Zhibo walked forward like a villain on TV and kicked the pistol away. He completely lost the idea of ​​counterattack and his eyes lost their luster.

The loss of this highlight was not due to anything else, but because the height of the burning fire tornado gradually decreased, and finally turned into an ordinary fire scene.

"this"

"How, how could it be possible?"

Kuchiki Hiyan muttered to himself like a fool, repeating words of disbelief.

The siren rang in his ears, and Qin Zhibo was too lazy to do anything to Kuchiki Feiyan. He walked to the side of the young detective team and untied the ropes from the five little ones one by one.

"Uncle Qin, how did you know we were here?"

Conan was a little confused about Qin Zhibo who suddenly appeared here.

Qin Zhibo glanced at the little ones standing behind, showed a friendly smile, and gave the answer in a matter-of-fact tone.

"Because I know you will give it to me for free."

Conan: "."

The police arrived quickly, took over everything at the scene, and took away the five men in red robes and an arsonist who looked like a slovenly homeless man.

In front of the police, Qin Zhibo certainly couldn't say that he knew that the Youth Detective Team would give him free money, so he used children as prisoner traps.

This is also not conducive to the reputation.

So Qin Zhibo explained to Sato Miwako: "Because the arsonist's previous arson locations are connected by a five-pointed star, the location of the last arson should logically be in the middle of the five-pointed star."

"The entire Shinagawa area, which is the soon-to-be-abandoned warehouse area, is very suitable for starting fires, and it is not easy to be discovered."

Miwako Sato nodded in realization and accepted Qin Zhibo's explanation.

Next to him, Hui Yuan Ai took out the map he had in his pocket and traced it again according to what Qin Zhibo said. Sure enough, they were the five endpoints of the five-pointed star.

It turns out it’s not fire, but ☆

It seems right. What they said was a spell composed of strange language. It is more in line with the tonality of using a five-pointed star symbol, which is the most commonly used symbol of mysticism.

only

Hui Yuan Ai glanced at Conan subconsciously, and Conan also knew what Hui Yuan Ai was thinking.

Was that fire tornado that shot straight into the sky really caused by magic?

But

but

Both Conan and Haibara Ai were somewhat conflicted, especially Conan, who had already witnessed two unscientific incidents before.

The first time was in the river at the foot of the Kiritengu Temple, where I saw the remains of what might be some kind of pink fungus.

But when he called someone, the corpses disappeared again.

The second time was in the underground secret passage of the Blue Castle. The bones of the old lady Mamiya were floating in the air, chasing the prisoner who killed her in the secret passage.

Still, only I, who was tied up in the secret passage, saw that scene.

Conan has not yet found the cause of these two incidents, but this time, Conan has some clues.

Those arsonists were caught by the police, who would certainly interrogate them as to why they set the fire.

And I also heard the word "Cthugha". I can investigate what is going on after I go back.

Looking at Conan with a calm expression, Qin Zhibo knew that he would not give up.

Qin Zhibo didn't mind Conan investigating these matters, but he would not take the initiative to tell Conan the clues or truth about these matters.

When you come into contact with another side of the world, it means that you have transformed from a detective to an investigator.

As a mature investigator, you must learn to investigate on your own

The police took Qin Zhibo and the five members of the Youth Detective Team to the Metropolitan Police Department to take notes. Koizumi Hongzi withdrew before the police arrived and was not caught.

Otherwise, with Koizumi Hongzi’s red clothes and red hair, she would inevitably be taken away by the police for questioning.

The recording process in the warning hall went very smoothly. Everyone is a regular visitor and is familiar with the process.

The transcript is completed and everyone goes home.

But Conan suddenly started to act coquettishly towards Mao Lilan who came to take him away. His sweet voice frightened the other three little ones.

"Sister Xiaolan! Just let me go to Dr. A Li's house to play video games!"

"O-ne-ga-y-"

"Da-baa!"

This time, Mao Lilan was not persuaded by Conan, and said with a slightly sullen expression: "You just experienced this kind of thing, how can you still have the energy to play video games?"

Seeing Mao Lilan's tough attitude, Conan quickly gave Dr. A Li a look and applied for foreign aid.

As the respected Dr. Ali joined the battlefield, Xiao Zhi used reason and emotion, and then convinced Mao Lilan to let Conan go play video games for a night to soothe the child's traumatized heart.

In this way, Dr. Ali took Conan and Haibara Ai home, leaving Mao Lilan alone.

Qin Zhibo was not involved in the whole thing.

Because just when he walked out of the Metropolitan Police Department building, Qin Zhibo's mobile phone received a call from across the ocean.

Arriving at Dr. Ali's house, Conan eagerly turned on the computer and searched for information about Cthugha on the web.

But in this era when Internet resources are not so abundant, there is only one search result related to Cthugha, which is on a knowledge search website called "Noah's Ark".

"Ah, it turns out to be Noah's Ark. I also use this website often."

Speaking of "Noah's Ark", Dr. Ali talked eloquently.

"This website is currently the only think tank website in the world. Although it has only been established for two years, it has already established more than 10 million knowledge entries and is still being updated at a terrifying rate of 15,000 entries per day."

“What’s even more frightening is that this think tank seems to be run by an artificial intelligence called ‘Noah’s Ark’ and does not require human editing at all.”

"Whoever created this program is a genius."

The "unremarkable" Dr. Ali laments the genius of others in invention and creation, but Conan is not interested in topics such as computer programs and invention geniuses.

Opening Cthugha's entry, Conan saw the relevant introduction.

Cthugha, one of the old gods, symbolizes the existence of fire.

Also known as: Living Flame, it is said to live on the star Fomalhaut.

There isn't much introduction about Cthugha, but Conan probably understood that this should be an existence similar to the "God of Fire" and "God of the Sun" in most myths and legends.

Just like the widely circulated Chinese mythology, Nordic mythology, Greek mythology, and Egyptian mythology. Every ancient civilization with a long history will give birth to an ancient myth in the long history.

These myths have been admired by humans in ancient times, and many people are happy to praise them even in modern times.

On the Noah's Ark website, existences similar to Cthugha are summarized as "old myths".
