Conan's grammatical investigator

Chapter 885 The Double Mystery of the Night of the Full Moon ([-])

Capturing Belmode is a must.

It's just that for Qin Zhibo, he must first figure out the meaning of this party.

Kogoro Mori and Kogoro Mori were invited to the party, along with myself. Could it be that they want to catch themselves, Kogoro Mori, and Kogoro Mori all at once?
So far, that's likely to be the case.

Mori Kogoro quickly rose to become a famous detective after Kudo Shinichi disappeared. This time is easy to associate.

In addition, Belmode has discovered that Conan who lives in Maori's house is Kudo Shinichi, and he will naturally think that Mori Kogoro and Kudo Shinichi are cooperating, Mori Kogoro is the face, and Conan is the inner child, and they are investigating the black organization together.

Therefore, Belmode's purpose this time is probably to get rid of Mori Kogoro and Conan, and to "shame" the organization's boss cronies.

If this is the case, it is necessary for him to go to the ghost ship to meet Belmode for a while.

But on the other hand, using the Halloween party invitation to reveal his identity to send Conan away is to catch Haibara Ai?
Both ideas are possible.

But I have no skills, how should I deal with it?
Suddenly, Qin Zhibo thought of a way.

Didn't I just master a method of opening a trumpet a few days ago?

If you let Minase Harumi drive your own decoy doll "Qin Jibo", wouldn't it be another self?

But the more troublesome thing is that Minase Harumeng's mind is not mature enough, and I'm afraid it won't be too similar to dress up as herself.

But in the current situation, he can only be treated as a dead horse.

From Dr. Ali's mouth, the Halloween party that doesn't match the timing will be held tomorrow, and I have to start thinking about dressing.

……

At dusk the next day, the port of Tokyo Port.

Against the background of the full moon, a huge and dark cruise ship is docked at the pier, and seagulls are constantly crowing on the false mast, which seems to indicate what is about to happen on the ship tonight.

And in the open space in front of the pier, a long line was lined up neatly, waiting for the front staff to check the invitation letter.

Mori Kogoro and Sonoko looked around curiously. They were all dressed up in weird and bold ways. Every invitee dressed himself up as weirdo or even monster.

"It's so lively here~"

"There are not only werewolves, Frankenstein, but also mummies, and even Chinese zombies!"

Mori Kogoro looked at the zombies jumping in front of him, wearing ancient court clothes, which could be clearly distinguished from western zombies.

Everyone's makeup and props are very realistic, and it seems that they have spent money.

In contrast, Mori Kogoro's outfit is much more ordinary, except for dark makeup on his face, pointed ears, and a court aristocratic dress from the Baroque period, with a black high-necked cloak outside.

This kind of dress is actually very inconsistent.

Because the origin of vampires is the white aristocracy, which is universally recognized.

Secondly, vampires are very disgusted or afraid of ultraviolet rays, and live away from the sun all year round, so vampires usually have a pale face, and it is impossible to tan.

Therefore, the species of Maori Kogoro cos should be "a vampire of African descent".

And Yuanzi standing next to him was even more ridiculous. In order not to affect her appearance, she didn't put on makeup at all. She wore a set of witch cosplay clothes with very little fabric, and came over with an ordinary broom.

Standing among the crowd of monsters, the duo looked like ordinary people coming to play, attracting contemptuous glances from time to time.

"These two are amateurs, so they must be related households invited by the organizer?"

"Who knew? We're all trying to get movie roles"

This Halloween Ghost Ship Party is not only a monster gathering, but also an event to select supporting actors for "The Voyage of Ghost Captain".

So it's normal for other people to be surprised by Kogoro Mori and Sonoko's amateurism.

Soon, the front of the queue came to Mori Kogoro and Sonoko, but they were still so excited that they didn't notice that there was already a long way to go.

The zombie coser behind made a strange sound of "woo hoo", reminding the two Maori to keep going.

Mori Kogoro was puzzled, but Sonoko understood the intention of the zombie coser.

"Uncle, is he signaling us to move forward?"

Only then did Kogoro Mouri understand, but he still turned around and complained, "Really, if this is the case, why don't you just make it clear..."

At this time, a sexy female voice came from behind the two.

"Because he wants to make himself completely the monster he played..."

When Kogoro Mori turned his head, he saw a lady wearing a gray windbreaker behind her, with an elegant chin exposed under the brim of a black top hat. Kogoro Mori, who had read countless women, saw that she was a beautiful woman, so he hurriedly opened his mouth to strike up a conversation.

"What a beautiful witch!"

"Ah, thank you for the compliment, but you're wrong, I'm not a witch~"

While talking, the woman took off the black hat on her head, revealing the dozen or so snakes covered inside.

"Ah! Medusa!"

Mori Kogoro screamed in fright, while the woman smiled happily and tilted her head cutely.

"I'm going to turn you into stone~"

"Uh ha ha ha..."

Frightened by the snake-shaped hair, Mori Kogoro didn't dare to have any more unreasonable thoughts, so he quickly turned around and lined up obediently.

Several people walked up to the staff who checked the invitation letter, and Kogoro Mori took out his own invitation letter.

In order to show the identity of the staff, the man and the woman did not wear too much makeup. The male staff had an ax on his head, and the female staff had a trace of red paint on the corner of their mouths.

Seeing that the name of Mori Kogoro was on the invitation letter, the male staff member was polite and asked him to sign the roster, as did Sonoko.

After the Maoyuan duo signed, Kogoro Mori approached the staff again and asked if there would be any murders on board tonight.

"Huh?" The male staff was taken aback.

Then Kogoro Mori took out the letter addressed to him and said, "This letter says that someone will commit a murder..."

The male staff took the letter paper, glanced at it, and replied: "This invitation letter is indeed sent to each guest, but this envelope and letter paper..."

Before the staff could finish speaking, a tall figure leaned forward in the crowd behind him, and his body touched a guy in a windbreaker and bandages standing in front.

The guy in the windbreaker bandage and Ms. Medusa who was with him looked back and were immediately taken aback by the cosplayer in front of them.

The coser was wearing a ragged yellow garment with yellow cloth strips binding his waist.

The most frightening thing is that this coser is wearing a pale mask and a necklace with a glass ball as a pendant hanging around his neck.

And in the middle of the glass ball, there was actually a live spider. The spider's legs with cilia seemed to be still moving slightly, like inlaid black gems.

The man in the windbreaker and bandages turned his head to look at the yellow-clothed appearance, his head was obviously taken aback, but he didn't pursue the fact that the other party bumped into him, he turned his head and continued queuing.

Ms. Medusa took another look, mainly because she was very surprised by this face, that someone would think of dressing up as the king in yellow.

This party really is Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon...

This little episode didn't affect the queue. Mori Kogoro was forcibly pulled away by Sonoko, and it was the turn of the next pair of men in windbreakers and bandages and Ms. Medusa.

The man in the windbreaker and the bandage handed over the invitation letter to the two, and the female staff member took the invitation letter and immediately showed a happy expression like a little girl.

"Could it be that you are that famous high school student detective?!"

The man in the windbreaker and bandage took off his sunglasses, made a hissing gesture, and then handed the signature pen to Ms. Medusa behind.

Ms. Medusa took the pen and signed her name, and the two left together.

"Next person."

The king in yellow came up slowly behind, and the two staff members looked at it with a troubled expression.

Because the organizer of this Halloween party not only requires everyone to dress up as monsters, but also to attend in a uniform black dress.

But the person in front of him was wearing a striking yellow dress, and he didn't know if he was wearing black clothes underneath, so he obviously didn't meet the requirements.

"Sir, your attire is probably..."

However, before the female staff could finish her sentence, the male staff next to her stopped her and gave her a glance at the invitation letter.

I saw "Mr. Qin Zhibo" written on the invitation letter.

Thinking of the organizer's previous instructions, the female staff immediately understood that this was a special guest invited by the organizer, and the conditions for participating in the party must be relatively looser than others.

"So you are that famous detective, Mr. Qin Zhibo!"

"Please leave your name on this..."

The king in yellow took the signature pen handed over by the staff, and did not sign immediately, but lowered his head, as if checking the contents of the roster.

After watching for a few seconds, he left a few handwriting twisted like tentacles.

Turning to the roster, the female staff member was a little surprised when she saw the ugly writing on it, but she still smiled professionally, "Welcome aboard."

The king in yellow nodded, turned around, and walked slowly towards the boat.

At the same time, a figure in a black windbreaker was standing far away from the pier, hiding sideways behind the container, observing the crowd queuing up to board the ship.

This person is the real Qin Zhibo.

The king in yellow is actually the result of Harumi Minase controlling "Qin Jibo", that is, Qin Zhibo's decoy doll, plus the imitation of the cursed mask bought in a boutique.

As for the object of the cosplay, Qin Zhibo originally wanted to pretend to be the "Lord of the Dead Tomb", "one of the thousands of incarnations of Nyarlathotep" and "Vodoo Death" Baron Samedi that he had met before. baron.

Baron Samedi is a Saturday Death in a black dress and fits the bill.

But after thinking about it, Minase Harumeng was trying to attract the attention of the people on board for himself, so it's better to make the color more eye-catching.

And if Belmode invited him, the condition of black clothes can definitely be relaxed, the purpose is to let himself board the ship no matter what.

The result was not as I expected, the yellow clothes could also be mixed into the black clothes, which showed that Belmode had "taken care" of him.

In addition, Qin Zhibo just checked the contents of the roster through the [Guard Totem] hanging on the neck of the king in yellow.

Mori Kogoro and Suzuki Sonoko, the signatures of these two people are all right.

The following signatures are Kudo Shinichi and Akechi Fumyo in turn.

Is that person really Kudo Shinichi?Could it be that he took the temporary antidote invented by Hui Yuanai and came to the party?

And who is Wise Wendai?Why can he party with "Kudo Shinichi"?
Qin Zhibo has been busy making various preparations from last night to this morning.

Train Harumi Minase to drive Gundam, buy cosplay props, prepare scientific equipment, go to Dr. Ali's house to collect [Guard Totem], and have no extra time to monitor Dr. Ali's house.

And it seems that Conan is not at Dr. Ali's house today, so I don't know where he went.

Even looking for Conan with the object-finding spell, there is no reliable inspiration at all.

Did he really take the temporary antidote and regain his identity?
Qin Zhibo pulled the wireless microphone near his mouth, and told Harumi Minase who was opposite.

"Keep silent when you're on the boat, the character you play is the kind of person who doesn't talk too much..."

"Yangmeng received!"

On the other side came Minase Harumi's energetic voice, which only Qin Zhibo could hear.

In addition, the decoy puppet "Qin Jibo" can't make a sound, and the king in yellow is actually really dumb.

However, Qin Zhibo bought a set of mini communication devices on the market during the day, which are actually earphones.

The headset is connected to the mobile phone, and the real voice is transmitted to the other side through the phone call, and then sent out through the loudspeaker on the other side.

This thing is definitely much rougher than Dr. Ali's customization, and I can't receive other calls during the connection period, but it can still be used.

It's just that Qin Zhibo thinks it's better to talk less when it's not necessary.

One last time, Qin Zhibo checked the magic power extractor in his hand, and there were 95 points left.

For every 5 minutes of maintenance of Minase Harumi, 1 point of magic power is consumed, which means that the magic power is enough to last for less than 8 hours.

"Should be enough..."

Qin Zhibo closed his eyes, and used the Finding Object Charm again.

The appearance of Chris Wynyard first appeared in his head, but there was no reaction at all.

The second is a new doctor. After waiting for a while, a direction appeared in his brain.

But this direction is not on the ghost ship in front of me, but in Tokyo.

Could this really be the trick used by Belmode?
Transfer Mori Kogoro and Conan away, want to catch Haibara Ai?

Qin Zhibo recalled the recording left by Miyano Elena. Belmode was the experimenter of Elena's drug production, but he was very resistant.

In addition to the incident at the Cupido Hotel, Belmode was also very eager to hope that Gin would kill Hui Yuanai.

Could it be that her main target is actually Hui Yuan Ai?

And when I went to Dr. Ali's house to collect [Guard Totem] in the morning, I saw Hui Yuanai at the doctor's house.

That being the case, let's go back now...

Qin Zhibo turned around and left the pier, driving towards Tokyo.

On the other side, Dr. Agasa's house.

Hui Yuanai, who was sitting on the sofa, was flipping through a magazine boredly, but because of his restlessness, he couldn't completely calm down.

Just then, the phone on the cabinet rang.

jingle--

Hui Yuanai put down the magazine in her hand, walked over unhurriedly, and answered the phone.

"Dr. Ali's family, hello."

"I'm a new doctor, sorry to bother you so late, is Dr. Li here?"

On the other side of the phone was the voice of a new doctor, who was talking with a smile.

"He's not here. I think he went somewhere with Edogawa-san? Do you have anything to do with the doctor?"

A dark smile flickered on the corner of the new doctor's mouth, but his tone remained unchanged, and he continued: "No... Actually, I'm calling to find you."

"Because your cold has not recovered until now, I thought it would be better for you to go to a hospital with better equipment for a checkup."

"I happen to know a doctor with good medical skills, but he will be on a business trip tomorrow, so he will be free tonight, so I will call you now and ask, is it convenient to pick you up now?"

On the opposite side, Hui Yuan's mournful tone was as cold as ever, and he replied: "But my illness has been taken care of by Dr. Chengshi."

The new doctor laughed, leaned forward slightly, and continued to persuade: "But she hasn't made you recover, isn't it true?"

"The doctors I know are very skilled. Believe me, they will definitely make you recover soon, and make Dr. Chengshi less worried about you..."

Just when the "Xinchu Doctor" was persuading "Hui Yuanai" to listen to him, Xinchu came out of another windowless room in the hospital, and the door was slightly opened.

Standing in a dark room with a single ponytail in men's attire, Cheng Shi stared in disbelief at the countless photos of Haibara Ai on the wall.
