Conan's grammatical investigator

Then came some familiar voices.

The police broke in and found afterimages in the church.

"Brother Qin! Why is Brother Qin here?"

"Alive, call an ambulance immediately!"

As expected, the person who received the police was from the Model Worker Search Unit of the Metropolitan Police Department, and Brother Mu Mu thoughtfully called an ambulance for his brother.

"There's one alive here!"

"Send it to the ambulance together!"

Brother Mu Mu's flow-style command made Qin Zhibo drowsy, and with the consumption of a lot of energy and physical strength today, he fell asleep before the ambulance arrived.

In the gray cloud and mist, Qin Zhibo was walking aimlessly.

Suddenly, the mist was stirred up by an unseen existence, which attracted him to stop.

I saw a human-shaped shadow looming in the mist, which seemed to give people a feeling of slowly approaching.

Not only that, but more human-shaped silhouettes appeared one by one, eight of them were walking towards the middle in an octagonal shape.

Qin Zhibo looked around, his head felt hot, he chose a random direction and rushed over.

His steps were light, and the mist slipped crazily around his feet, until the outline of the human figure in front became more and more solid, transforming into other colors.

Minase Harumi!

Breaking through the fog, Qin Zhibo was overjoyed when he saw the face of an acquaintance.

But in the next second, a malicious smile appeared on the delicate little face in front of him, a shadow suddenly appeared on his forehead, and his body gradually collapsed.

Muddy black spouted from the eyeballs and mouth, and there were crazy tentacles wriggling on it, like tiny fluff on the surface of vegetation.

Hey!
Qin Zhibo was taken aback, and his body responded with a punch with his right hand.

But it was okay if he didn't punch out this punch, but when he punched down, the black liquid just entangled his arm, and the continuous liquid flowed up along the curve of the arm.

And among those rolling liquids, Senbai's bones flowed slowly
"call--"

Qin Zhibo opened his eyes suddenly, and in front of him was a white ceiling and clean cotton sheets. He sniffed a little, and it was the iconic smell of hospital disinfectant.

It's a hospital again, why do you feel that the hospital is your resurrection point?
As a not-so-serious private detective, but a fairly serious investigator, it is commonplace for him to be admitted to the hospital.

Qin Zhibo moved his somewhat sore body, and accidentally twitched the quilt, which just disturbed Ma Shengshi who was taking a nap.

Feeling the twitch of the quilt, Cheng Shi woke up sleepily, saw the person in his mind awakened, and hugged Qin Zhibo excitedly.

"Great! You're awake!"

Qin Zhibo looked down at Chengshi's single ponytail, with some confusion in his eyes, "Did I sleep for a long time?"

"It's not too long, that's all night." Cheng Shi let go of his hands, poured water into the cup, and replied, "But Police Officer Mu Mu said that you were involved in an extremely dangerous case, so I'm very sorry. Worry."

It's not the first time Qin Zhibo has been involved in a dangerous case. The last time he suffered an abdominal injury, he hadn't fully recovered, which made Chengshi very worried.

Today's Qin Zhibo is no longer alone in this world.

"Well, did Officer Megure say anything else?"

"He also said to notify him as soon as you wake up."

Cheng Shi handed over the cup containing warm water, and Qin Zhibo drank it down in one gulp, moistening his thirsty throat.

After taking the water glass that Qin Zhibo had finished drinking, Cheng Shi, who had already pulled out his phone, asked for instructions, "Then can I call Police Officer Mumu now?"

"Well, let's fight."

When Sato Miwako and Takagi Tsutomu came, Qin Zhibo had already made up a suitable statement.

For example, those people in the church are the people I have been secretly investigating, a mysterious organization of believers.

Because it was a secret investigation, they knew that they had kidnapped the hostages tonight, and it seemed that some kind of ceremony was going to be held.

"That is to say, was it Mr. Qin who made the anonymous call to the Police Department last night?"

"Correct."

"Then have you seen who the murderer is?"

".No. Someone used a bomb. I was stunned by the shock wave. I can't remember what happened before."

Gao Mushe was in charge of recording, and recorded Qin Zhibo's confession exactly.

After finishing the record, Qin Zhibo asked Takagi about the handling of the case by the police yesterday.

According to police statistics, a total of 87 people died in the church yesterday, the two injured were Qin Zhibo and Matsumoto Ryohei, and the rest either died of explosions or headshots.

The most striking death was a white human skeleton. Since the cause of death could not be determined yet, the forensics department is still conducting an autopsy.

There were too many casualties in this case, and it almost reached the "indicator" of Mihua Town for one week. The Metropolitan Police Department attached great importance to this. The high-level executives held a meeting overnight and believed that the possibility of a terrorist attack was the greatest.

Although Mihua is full of murderers, terrorist attacks are not common. The last time this type of case occurred was when the police chief's son was attacked, and an international criminal who had been successfully arrested was also robbed.

Even though the director of the White Horse Police Department gave a public speech on TV in that terrorist attack, the effect was minimal. The police have not found any clues about the group of terrorist gangsters so far.

After listening to the report, Qin Zhibo murmured in his heart.

87 people, so many, I feel like I missed [-] million.

Sato and Takagi were sent away, and the Mori family also came to visit.

"Actually, I didn't suffer any injuries. It would be too polite to bring flowers."

Although Qin Zhibo said so, Cheng Shi still accepted the carnation in Xiaolan's hand.

"Uncle, I heard from Officer Mumu that this case seems to be very serious. What's going on?" Conan, who was out of curiosity, couldn't help but ask.

"Hey! Brat, don't ask nonsense!" Mori Kogoro hurriedly stopped him.

Because he had already heard from Megure that this might be a terrorist attack case, which was very dangerous. For security reasons, the high-level police decided not to allow people other than the police to investigate in private.

Qin Zhibo also knew that there was a black organization behind this case, so he couldn't disclose this matter to the "reckless man" Conan, so he stroked his chubby head affectionately twice.

"You can come to ask Uncle Qin, Uncle Qin is very happy; but Uncle Qin doesn't know the question you asked~"

Conan: "."

Several people exchanged some pleasantries, and the Maoli family was about to leave.

"Mr. Qin, we still have to visit Mr. Matsumoto. He is also in this hospital."

Mao Lilan bowed slightly, and was about to leave when Qin Zhibo stopped her.

"Xiao Ran, do you still remember Minase Harumi? She."

"Humu Minase?" Mao Lilan was taken aback, "Who is it?"

Seeing Mao Lilan's blank reaction, Qin Zhibo was also surprised, as if she didn't know who Minase Harumi was.

Looking at the others, not only Mori Ran, but even Mori Kogoro and Conan don't know. So, they met Minase Harumi in the cooking class not long ago!

"you."

Qin Zhibo wanted to ask more questions, but felt that the expressions of these people had already answered his question thoroughly.

They really don't remember Minase Harumeng.

Qin Zhibo thought about the possibility. Tulpa is a nihilistic existence constructed by human thoughts. Once her existence disappears, the "traces" created by the people around her will also disappear.

Thinking of this, Qin Zhibo felt a little lonely in his heart.

To be honest, I am not a sentimental person, maybe because of my iron will, I react much calmer to many things than ordinary people.

Although not completely indifferent, it is also quite calm and bearish.

However, when I think of the disappearance of Minase Harumi, without leaving any traces or impressions, I still have some feelings.

But this kind of disappearance, for ordinary people like Mao Lilan, is one less troublesome thing, unlike myself.
yes!Why do I still remember?
Qin Zhibo suddenly realized why he could remember the existence of Minase Harumi?
Is it because I charged her soul?
Qin Zhibo checked his item column, and sure enough, there was a glass bottle he bought in it, and the number of souls he had collected was marked next to it.

[A glass bottle (number of souls: 67)]

The number of souls carried by the glass bottle is related to the user's magic power. For people like Qin Zhibo who have "external magic power organs", the compatibility is a little bit worse, and they can't collect many souls for the time being.

Is her soul still inside?
Qin Zhibo glanced at Cheng Shi who was peeling apples beside the bed, and he couldn't take out the glass bottle to see it face to face, it was like a chamber pot, he could only wait for the night.

At night, under Qin Zhibo's persuasion, Cheng Shi went home to rest tonight.

In fact, Qin Zhibo himself had no symptoms, but suffered some minor injuries and could be discharged from the hospital on the same day, but this time he took the initiative to accept hospital observation.

There is no other reason, but I still need to visit Ryohei Matsumoto and make a confession.

In the empty ward, Qin Zhibo visualized the glass bottle in his hand and observed it carefully.

Now the blue bubble beads in the glass bottle have all quieted down, just like the elf ball that has successfully subdued the baby, and the souls inside are all lying quietly.

Among the many blue bubble beads, a colorful bead is particularly distinctive.

Qin Zhibo shook the inside, and all the beads rolled in the shaking direction a few times, it felt like there were some glass beads in the glass vessel.

Moreover, the beads cannot be poured out directly, and the mouth of the bottle seems to be sealed by an invisible membrane.

"Does it need magic power?"

Qin Zhibo put on the magic power extractor and started pouring again, and it really worked.

With a thought, the colorful beads slid to the mouth of the bottle and spit out from the groove.

"Wow! I'm really suffocated inside!"

The colorful beads slid into the air, and the image of a girl transformed from the beads, and the first words she spoke were familiar complaints.

"Uncle!" Seeing Qin Zhibo, the girl was pleasantly surprised, and floated over to hug him, but in vain, the spirit body passed right through.

"Eh?"

Qin Zhibo looked at the girl's soul who seemed to be unaware of the situation, and calmly explained: "You are already dead."

The cruel reality comes from the mouth of the straight man of steel.

Minase Harumi's soul froze for a moment, and saw that his feet were floating in the air, and his body was also in a translucent state, it was like waking up from a dream.

"WoW! So I'm dead!"

".Did you just find out?"

"Of course!" The girl's tone gradually weakened, but she changed her words: "Actually, I knew it right there."

Under Minase Harumo's explanation, Qin Zhibo understood what she remembered.

After she lost her mind, her memory was intermittent. She walked in the mist, was dragged out by someone, and then entered a strange blue world.

That world was empty, but it contained many other souls.

Minase Harumi could feel some kind of intersection between the souls of these people and his own existence, but these souls were all relatively dull, unable to speak, and could only follow his own orders and perform some simple actions.

Originally, it was quite interesting to enjoy the feeling of commanding people in it at the beginning, but it became boring after a long time.

But at this moment, a force summoned her from that world.

"Wow! Uncle, how did you do it?"

Faced with Minase Harumi's doubts, Qin Zhibo thought for a while before deciding to answer.

"It may be that your soul is entangled with the souls of those believers. As long as they exist, your soul will not disappear."

The secret technique of Tulpa is very mysterious. Without seeing the internal research materials of the "Bridge Priory" with his own eyes, Qin Zhibo couldn't judge what was going on, so he could only guess.

Minase Harumi nodded in a daze, not knowing whether she really understood or pretended to understand, but she was still very happy.

"That is to say, I can stay with uncle all the time in the future! Great!"

"not good"

Qin Zhibo checked the mana value on his magic power extractor. After 5 minutes, about 2 mana points were consumed.

Among them, 1 point of magic power is consumed when pouring colored beads from the glass bottle, which Qin Zhibo observed.

The remaining 1 point is obviously that maintaining the existence of the soul in this world requires the consumption of one's own magic power.

Qin Zhibo explained her existence mechanism to Minase Harumo in the simplest language, that is, she can't stay in this world all the time, at most two hours a day.

Two hours is 24 points of magic power. Although there is still a lot away from the full magic power of 100, I also need to use the method of "magic ring + magic power extractor" to replenish my willpower. To maintain sufficient willpower, there are many restrictions in various aspects.

"It's a pity~ I still want to live with my uncle~"

Harumo Minase understood Qin Zhibo's difficulties and didn't complain.

After dealing with Minase Harumi's soul, the next step is to go to Matsumoto Ryohei for a serial confession.

Since Minase Harumi didn't want to return to that boring world so soon, Qin Zhibo took him to watch Matsumoto Ryohei.

When passing by the nurse's station, Qin Zhibo deliberately let Minase Harumi float in front, wanting to see the nurse's reaction.

As a result, the nurse didn't respond, as if she was looking at a piece of air.

"I seem to be invisible~ I have the same ability as in the movie, cool!"

Qin Zhibo: "." What movie are you talking about?
One person and one ghost came to Matsumoto Ryohei's ward, and saw Matsumoto lying on the bed with a breathing tube inserted, with various monitoring instruments attached to his body, looking a little serious.

Minase Harumeng floated up first, and started making faces at Matsumoto Ryohei, very naughty.

"Let you always scare me~"

The intimidation in her mouth may be Matsumoto Ryohei's unintentional release of "maliciousness" towards her.

But suddenly, Matsumoto Ryohei on the pillow suddenly opened his eyes, staring at Minase Harumi who was grimacing.

"What are you doing?"
