Conan's grammatical investigator

Chapter 829

"Huh? Is it true?"

"It's actually true!"

"It's me!"

A large number of guests dressed in country clothes showed extremely surprised expressions, and the exaggeration even made people feel a little unreal.

Passed, passed.
Until now, Qin Zhibo had no choice but to pretend not to know that these people were extra performers hired by Domoto Eizo, stood up and waved to everyone, and accepted the reporter's photo.

After speaking, everyone moved to the cable car platform behind the hotel.

Eizo Domoto personally cut the ribbon, everyone applauded, and the host began to introduce.

"Now invite the guests present to try the Tianbu Mountain Cable Car. After the first train reaches the top of the mountain, everyone will welcome the second train to the platform. Everyone has the opportunity"

The candidates for the first train were determined in advance, including Domoto Eizo, four members of Domoto's immediate family, Qin Zhibo, Conan, Xiaolan, and the yellow-haired reporter Tetsuya Aoyagi brought by Domoto Rina.

In the end, there were 11 people in total, including two reporters from Donghai Press who followed the report, and Secretary Yoshino.

After a few people boarded the car, they stood and sat. The atmosphere in the car was not lively, but rather subtle.

With a "beep" sound of the departure prompt, the cable car started slowly, and the steel cable creaked, causing the height of the cable car to gradually climb.

Qin Zhibo glanced at the people in the car, and he still couldn't guess who was planning to harm Domoto Eizao.

However, according to normal logical thinking, it should be very detrimental to the murderer himself to do something in such a small compartment.

But most of the murderers in this world have abnormal brain circuits, and they always like to commit crimes in a limited space.

In this case, the murderer is either A or B, or C. The suspicion is nothing but the three survivors, and there is no way to get rid of it.

No matter how ingenious the trick was, it could not achieve the goal of getting rid of the crime, and the flaw was slowly discovered in the end.

Just judging from the rubber resin dummy in the hands of the Goddess Statue, it seems that the place where the murderer did it this time seems to be an observation deck?
Just as Qin Zhibo was thinking about the murderer's plan, the eldest son of Domoto who was sitting in the seat spoke.

"How is it? Machida-san, can you give us some good words for our company once in a while?"

Qin Zhibo took a glance and found that "Mr. Machida" was one of the two reporters from the East Post Office.

"Hmph, if you really dare to bribe me, I will definitely expose it in the newspaper."

Seeing that Machida didn't show any face at all, Domoto Nagao's head was slightly lowered, and his eyes under the reflective lens gradually darkened, "I want to see how long you can last with this backbone."

This slightly fierce expression made Machida startled, with cold sweat on his forehead.

Qin Zhibo was a little puzzled. It seemed that Machida's Donghai agency often opposed Doubon.

In this case, why do you have to invite your enemies over?It is also specially arranged for the most important first bus.

The height of the cable car continued to rise, and it didn't take long to reach the aerial cable car tunnel halfway up the mountain.

When the cable car drives into it, darkness engulfs the view, and all light sources come from the cable car itself.

After the naked eyes get used to the darkness a little bit, a few people can see the "good view" below.

"Senior Machida! Come here and take a look!"

When the fat reporter from the Toyo Post Office greeted him, Machida turned around and saw a shocking scene.

"So many arhat statues!"

"You people don't hesitate to spend a lot of money to make something like this!"

Machida shouted excitedly, but Domoto Eizo didn't take it seriously, showing an old fox's face, and replied unhurriedly: "Don't get excited, you should say that we have innovative ideas, and these stone statues are worthless. How much"

"If tourists know about this scenic spot, they will definitely come here eagerly, just to see what sparks can be created between the goddess statue and the five hundred Arhat statues."

"At the end of the day, I have to thank the goddess statue, there is no better curse than this."

Just as he was talking, all the lights of the cable car went out suddenly.

The carriage suddenly became chaotic, and Eizo Domoto, who had been talking eloquently a second ago, immediately yelled.

"What's going on! Is there a power outage?"

"Come here! Turn on the light!"

"What's wrong!"

Secretary Yoshino's shout sounded in the dark compartment, although the most suitable person to turn on the light was obviously her secretary.

At this moment, the sound of countless monks chanting scriptures rumbled, and the sound of prayers that should have been holy, against the background of this dark environment, was creepy and trembling.

Just as Qin Zhibo was about to take out the nuclear lighter to see what was causing the trouble, Mao Lilan, who was frightened beside him, leaned forward and hugged Qin Zhibo's arm tightly.

Fortunately, Conan couldn't see this scene, otherwise the title of King of Vinegar in East Asia would not have been covered.

The brainwashing voice like the Great Compassion Mantra is like a magic sound filling the brain, and the dark and trembling horror atmosphere is transmitted in the car.

"what--!"

Suddenly there was a scream in the carriage, but it was not Mao Lilan's voice, but a more vigorous scream.

Conan's heart tightened, and he hurriedly reminded loudly: "Hurry up and use the camera spotlight!"

The panicked fat reporter hurriedly operated, and a strong white light flickered in the compartment, and then quickly went out.

Relying on the residual vision, Qin Zhibo saw the panicked expressions on the faces of everyone in the carriage, but the light at this moment was not enough to judge the situation clearly.

"Again!"

Conan shouted again, but the fat reporter just wanted to operate the camera, but the camera in his hand was knocked down to the ground.

"My camera!"

hateful!

Knowing that the camera fell, Conan cursed inwardly.

However, Qin Zhibo had already turned on his night vision device at this time, and could clearly distinguish the positions of the people in the faint green light.

I saw people standing chaotically around the carriage, only one person lifted the seat panel of the car seat and was trying to get inside.

Judging from the slightly bloated figure, it was Eizo Domoto.

And next to Eizo Domoto, the eldest son of Domoto stood beside him in a protective posture. After Eizo Domoto got in, he covered the seat again from the outside, stuck something on the glass, and sat down again. Sitting in the seat, pretending nothing happened.

Qin Zhibo: Ah this
The entire 30-second tunnel time passed quickly. When the light re-illuminated the cable car, the monk's voice disappeared immediately, and people found that there was no one unexpectedly.

"Ah? How could this be!"

"The president has disappeared!"

There was only Domoto Nagao on the seat, and there was no figure of Domoto Eizo in the carriage. Everyone couldn't help exclaiming, even Conan's eyes widened in surprise.

Only Qin Zhibo looked calm, as indifferent as an old monk in meditation.

Conan's brain immediately reacted, scanning the left and right doors of the cable car, and there were people guarding them.

The glass is also completely sealed, and the ventilation opening in the ceiling is so small that you can't even get through it yourself, and the emergency escape equipment under the floor of the cable car has not been used.

How the hell did he disappear!
Conan's face was full of disbelief, and his world view seemed to be shattered.

"What is this!"

At this moment, Domoto Nagao looked at the glass and exclaimed.

Everyone looked away, only to see a piece of talisman paper pasted on the glass, with the words "karma and retribution" written on it.

"Karma?! What does this mean?"

"Could it be that the curse of the goddess statue has been fulfilled!"

Machida from the newspaper office exclaimed, making the weird atmosphere in the car even more intense.

Great, that's it.
Seeing that the situation is almost the same, but no one has noticed the dummy in the hands of the goddess outside, so he stood up voluntarily.

"Look! That is"

Domoto's voice stopped abruptly, and his eyes widened in disbelief.

Because he couldn't believe that the dummy placed by him had disappeared at this moment!

its not right!
I remember putting the dummy there with my own hands after we parted ways with Qin Zhibo yesterday!
But why is it gone now?

Is it the goddess
Looking at the statue of the holy goddess whose skin was full of traces of time, the trembling Daomoto uttered a scream and fell to the ground.

"what!"

Domoto Nagao, who fell to the ground, was trembling all over, and Domoto Rina hurried over to help him.

"Brother, what's wrong with you?"

"Are you okay? Big Brother" Tang Ben's second son also came up.

At this time, Doumoto's family showed a little bit of cohesion.

And Qin Zhibo looked at Domoto's reaction, and the things he and Domoto Eiji did in the tunnel just now, and guessed something in his heart.

It seems that the dummy should be a conspiracy jointly planned by Domoto Eizao and the eldest son. The purpose may be to perform a big transformation into a living person to prove that the curse is false.

Using magic to disprove the non-existence of magic, it seems that Koizumi Hongko chased and killed the Kaitou Kidd at the beginning for this reason.
It's just a pity that the perfect plan of the father and son was "swallowed" by the system due to his misoperation yesterday.

I'm sorry for swallowing a "person" raw.

Qin Zhibo apologized again in his heart, and then thought about what to do now.

Although I know that Eizo Domoto is hiding in the space under the car seat, it seems too disrespectful to the employer to expose it directly.

The entrustment fee was only half settled. If I had pulled Domoto Eizo out from under the seat in such an embarrassing way, the reporter would be right next to him, and I would definitely take a photo of him and publish it in the newspaper.

At that time, Domoto Eizao's reputation will inevitably be discredited, which will make people laugh out loud.

It made Domoto Eizo unhappy, and I'm afraid I won't be able to get the remaining 50 entrustment fees.

This is the time to test whether you will be a human being.

When the leader shows his "intelligence", should he expose it bluntly and make the leader lose face in public, or let it be and watch the performance in silence, and finally shout "6"?
Anyone who has been in and out of the workplace should know that the first kind of social animal may have starved to death long ago.

Anyway, there is no way to remedy it now, Qin Zhibo can only choose the second principle of doing things, which is to pretend that he doesn't know anything.

This is called great wisdom and foolishness!

"Wow! People really disappeared!"

Qin Zhibo screamed, his acting skills were as exaggerated as the extras invited by Eizo Domoto, which made Conan look back suspiciously.

Looking at Qin Zhibo's slightly exaggerated expression management, he vaguely felt that the uncle in front of him seemed to know something.

But after thinking about it, Conan decided to solve the puzzle with his own strength. After all, such a high-quality puzzle has aroused his desire to win as a steamed egg.

How to escape from the closed space suspended in the air?
Conan raised his chin, lost in thought.

In a few minutes, the aerial cable car arrived at the top station.

Everyone hurriedly ordered to notify the staff at the top station, and asked them to send someone to search for it along the route of the cable car.

"President Domoto seems to have fallen into the mountains!"

"Everyone set out to find it quickly! And notify the other side of the mountain!"

"Contact the police immediately!"

The staff were dispatched one after another and ran down the mountain.

Domoto Eizo himself could not be found in the unobstructed carriage, and he could only guess that he had fallen into the mountain, and everyone started to act on this premise.

Two reporters from the East Post office hurried to the landline phone at the top station and made a call to the newspaper office.

"I'm Machida! Give me the first page of the evening paper!"

"The curse really happened, Eizo Domoto suddenly disappeared from the cable car just now!"

"That's right! It's gone! It's like going to another world."

The trembling eldest son Domoto walked down the mountain with the support of his second son and elder sister, while Conan and Mao Lilan ran ahead.

The mountain top station was extremely chaotic for a while, only Qin Zhibo stood where he was, silently watching the aerial cable car.

Although Qin Zhibo didn't intend to expose Domoto Eizao's tricks in public, he was not his subordinate after all, but a detective hired by him in the form of a guest.

If you make him think that being a detective is so easy to fool him, wouldn't he lose his reputation in the Jianghu?
Rich people also have their own social circles, if Domoto Eizo talks nonsense among the rich, even the famous detective Qin Zhibo is no more than that, and is fooled by his wise self, then it's okay?

Therefore, Qin Zhibo's real way of dealing with the world is to not only save the face of Domoto Eizao, but also not lose his own face.

I can expose his tricks, but find a place where there is no one.

In this way, Eizo Domoto found out that his tricks were discovered from the very beginning, but the wise and stupid detective would be grateful if he didn't expose his face directly, and might even give him an extra sum of money.

There is no one else in the empty aerial cable car, and it is a good time for a showdown with Domoto Eizo.

Qin Zhibo was about to go to the cable car when suddenly a figure came out from the steps and jumped onto the cable car first.

Taking a closer look, it turned out to be Secretary Yoshino Ayaka with fluttering hair!

What's the matter with her?

Could it be that she also saw the tricks of Domoto Eizao?
However, she is a secretary and a social animal of the company, so there is no need to show her intelligence in this way in public or private, unless she doesn't want her job anymore.

This is not great wisdom as foolishness, but great foolishness as wisdom.

When Qin Zhibo was wondering, the aerial cable car sounded a notification that it was about to leave.

Although there are no people at the summit station now, and everyone has gone down the mountain to find Eizo Domoto, the departure of the cable car is automatically controlled by the system.

Qin Zhibo's heart tightened, and he immediately took out the [Magic Ring] from the props rack and put it on his finger.

185's figure disappeared immediately, and got into the cable car before closing the door.
