The Grammatical Investigator in Conan

Qin Zhibo sat on the sofa and read the book in his hand.

Although Editor-in-Chief Iwata had previously recommended that he read it, Qin Zhibo didn't want to spend too much time on becoming a writer, so he didn't read it.

Before the formal reading, Qin Zhibo read some of the editor's recommendations on the back of the book cover.

"African Odyssey" is a travel book about what Tomonori Kinoshita saw and heard in Africa.

However, unlike traditional travel books, this book combines fiction and reality, combining local customs and fictional travel stories.

Magical and bizarre characters and plots, as well as various supernatural phenomena are inserted into the narrative and description that reflect reality.

It turns the mysterious African continent into a modern myth, with both bizarre and fantasy artistic conception, as well as realistic plots and scenes. Reality and illusion are mixed, making it difficult to distinguish between humans and gods.

It has a flavor of magical realism, so it is popular among readers.

The above are the comments from editors and media. It sounds really different from other boring travel books and can easily arouse people's interest.

Start reading.

The first chapter of the book is narrated in the first person and tells the story of the protagonist, "Kinoshita Tomonori" himself, who is the heir to a large company.

One day, his mother fell seriously ill. No matter how many major hospitals she went to for examination, no physical abnormality could be detected.

Only behind his mother's shoulder, there was a red mark with a strange pattern, similar to a human mouth, teeth and tongue, which caught his attention.

So, Kinoshita began to search for information about this pattern in various books, asked professors at Toto University for advice, and finally got information about the pattern.

It originates from the distant African continent and is a special pattern used by Kenyans in Africa for sacrifices.

Kenyans will tattoo this pattern on their bodies to symbolize the "destined person".

In order to solve this mystery, "Kinoshita Tomonori" embarked on a thousand-mile journey to save his mother and headed to the mysterious African continent.

Qin Zhibo didn't know whether this story was true or false, but he always felt that the plot seemed familiar.

However, there are more cultural works in later generations, and it is normal to have similar plots.

Kinoshita traveled around the world, taking a ship from the Gulf of Aden, passing through waters where pirates were rampant, and finally arrived in Africa.

The first country he settled in was Ethiopia. On the barren land of Africa, Ethiopia was not considered a wealthy country.

The dry air and scorching sun weakened his body, and he fell ill as soon as he arrived in the Egyptian capital.

He had no choice but to recuperate his body in a small clinic here and wait for his body to adapt to the African soil before he could go on the road.

In a tavern in Addis Ababa, he tasted a local specialty wine, a kind of honey wine called Tej.

It is brewed from honey, water, and a plant called gesho. It is golden in color and has a viscous and long taste. It is packed in a special container with a big belly and a round bottom, similar to a flask.

Although Tej mead is mellow and sweet, its alcohol content is very high. People who are not good at drinking will get drunk after half a glass.

There was barely a sip in the glass, but the aroma and flavor surpassed any vintage Chianti or the best Chateau d'Gin.

Kinoshita Tomonori, who was experiencing this kind of wine for the first time, accidentally drank too much, and his brain felt like he was in a trance.

According to locals, this mead was formerly known as "golden mead."

As long as some special magic is added to the mead, the person who drinks this wine can maintain physical and mental integrity under extreme circumstances.

Even the severe cold and absolute vacuum environment of outer space cannot cause any harm to the body during the effect of "Twilight Mead".

A certain wizard who lived in seclusion in Gray Worm Alley, the capital of Egypt, had such power that he could make enchanted golden mead for travelers from all over the world.

After drinking the golden mead, people never saw those travelers appear again, as if they disappeared out of thin air.

Until the end, even the wizard himself disappeared, leaving only a note at home saying "Don't try to find me, because I have flown away."

As a result, golden mead was lost, leaving only today's Tej mead.

The second chapter of "African Odyssey" is about metaphysics.

Enchanted golden mead can keep people physically and mentally intact under extreme circumstances.

This sounds a bit like a magic potion made by Koizumi Anko, or something like that.

However, the effect of this potion sounds a bit evil, and it seems to have some special purpose.

After staying in Egypt for more than half a month, Kinoshita left Egypt for Kenya in the south after taking good care of his health.

Some interesting events happened on the way, and I saw some African customs and customs.

In Nairobi, the capital of Kenya, Kinoshita hired a guide to ask locals about the strange symbols on his mother's back.

Soon, he heard the news from some local old people.

Just in Nandi County in the Western Province of Kenya, there is a Nandi people living there, and this pattern is what the Nandi people use when performing sacrifices.

The old people also warned that the Nandi people there were somewhat exclusive of other races except black people, and it was best not to approach them easily.

However, in order to save his mother, Kinoshita Tomonori went anyway.

Arriving in Nandi County in the Southern Province, Kinoshita asked the locals here about the pattern, but everyone was silent about it.

Here, he didn't even hire a guide or a place to stay.

This place is more exclusive than imagined.

But just when he felt desperate and helpless, a woman appeared in time and helped him.

The content of the third chapter is based on saving his mother. The protagonist "Kinoshita Tomonori" arrives in Kenya, Africa, and seeks help here.

Mentioning Kenya made Qin Zhibo think of Bloody Tongue.

The Bloody Tongue is a powerful killer organization with branches all over the world.

Previously, Qin Zhibo discovered two bloody tongue killers in Japan, one was Tachibana Maya and the other was the killer Silver Fox.

Silver Fox was more unfortunate and chose the same way to die as Xiunian during his escape.

Tachibana Maye is currently operating in a country in Southeast Asia. She has not been in contact with him for a long time since she exposed Qin Zhibo's background as "Shi Kaobing" during the last "Egg of Memories" incident.

But in other people's sense of time, not much time may have passed.

The headquarters of Bloody Tongue, according to Tachibana Maya, is in Kenya, Africa.

The woman who helped Kinoshita Tomonori was named Mweru, a Nandi with brown skin.

Mwiru's exact age is unknown, but he looks very young.

Although he is a black man, he can be regarded as beautiful in the universal aesthetic view. The charm exuded by his body naturally attracted Kinoshita Tomonori at that time.

She runs a hotel and takes great care of Kinoshita Tomori, an outsider, which makes Kinoshita very happy.

However, because he took too much care of outsiders, Mwiru was subjected to various negative attacks from the locals.

This made Kinoshita Tomonori blame himself and came up with the idea of ​​​​taking Mwiru to escape from here.

He told Mwiru the idea and Mwiru agreed.

That night, the two had sex.

The next day, Kinoshita was packing his luggage, while Mwelu said that he wanted to go back to his hometown to see his parents before leaving.

Of course Kinoshita Tomonori agreed, so the two of them went to a peak called "Black Wind Mountain" near Nandi County.

When he came to the "Black Wind Mountain", Kinoshita Tomoze was dumbfounded.

Dozens of locals wearing red-striped headdresses surrounded them, holding various scythes and terrifying tools for removing skin and bones.

Just when Kinoshita Tomonori manfully protected Mweru behind him, Mweru walked to the front himself.

Under Kinoshita Tomonori's incredible eyes, everyone bowed their heads to Mwiru and called him "high priest".

At this time, Kinoshita Tomonori realized that he had been fooled.

Everything is a scam.

Mweru is the leader of this group of Nandi people and the high priest of the Bloody Tongue.
