Conan Rick's Investigator

Everyone was either frightened or excited, and only a very small number of people could remain completely calm.

For example, the captain of the search and rescue team.

Judging from the size of the claw marks on the ground, this creature was at least twenty meters tall.

Creatures of this level are simply not something that their ordinary search and rescue team can capture.

So just now, he had reported the situation on the scene to his superiors and asked them to notify the Self-Defense Forces to come here.

As for the search and rescue team, all they can do now is to find as many footprints as possible to determine the direction in which the "monster" left.

Before confirming what kind of creature it was, the captain of the search and rescue team could only call it a "monster."

At this moment, a series of strange noises suddenly came from the crowd of onlookers.

"Hahahaha!"

"How can the light of a firefly compete with the brightness of the bright moon?"

"You can't catch her with just you!"

Chapter 151: Voodoo and the Making of Magic Potion (Fourth Update)

Qin Zhibo's brain suddenly went into a state of panic, and he uttered a series of stupid villain-like remarks, accompanied by an evil and crazy laugh.

When these words were spoken, everyone's eyes were fixed on Qin Zhibo who made these strange remarks.

At this moment, Qin Zhibo knew that he was doomed.

It seems that if the willpower is too low, even I will feel a little abnormal.

In order to avoid further social failure, Qin Zhibo’s only choice now is to shut up and walk towards the B&B.

Do not--

run!

……

After returning to the B&B, Qin Zhibo went into his room and went to sleep without saying a word.

When Conan saw Qin Zhibo suddenly coming back, he wanted to ask him whether he had gone up the mountain to look for Asanuma Yoko and whether he had found any results.

But seeing that Qin Zhibo fell asleep directly, Conan had no choice but to give up.

When Qin Zhibo woke up again, it was already 4:00 p.m.

After six hours of sleep, Qin Zhibo's willpower recovered to 62 points, which was enough.

With these willpower points, Qin Zhibo finally dared to go out and meet people.

When I met the owner of the B&B, she said that the Maori family had left first because of something.

Qin Zhibo nodded, indicating that he understood, and then changed the subject to ask the proprietress, "What day is it today?"

"Today is the weekend..."

When he heard this, Qin Zhibo was shocked.

Hey! When I asked you yesterday, it was still Friday!

Qin Zhibo once again ignored the peculiar laws of time in this world.

And today is the full moon night that can make Koizumi Hongzi's magic power surge!

So Qin Zhibo stopped talking, quickly paid the bill and left in a hurry.

……

In the scarlet room, Koizumi Hongzi, wearing a red robe, paced back and forth in the corridor anxiously.

Looking up out the window, the soft moonlight shines on her beautiful face.

Tonight is the night of the full moon, which can make my magic power surge.

However, up to now, Qin Zhibo, who went out to look for the snow water on the snow girl, has not returned.

To be honest, even Koizumi Akako knows very little about the Snow Woman.

In Japanese mythology, the Snow Woman possesses a stunning feminine appearance and is skilled at seducing men. She can freeze men while kissing them and take away their souls for use.

But in the Red Magic Family's heirloom magic book, it is true that the Snow Girl has a human-like form, but her face is as ugly as a monster and her movements are slow.

It is said that the formation of the Snow Woman is related to an evil god believed by the indigenous people of the Arctic Circle, so the Snow Woman is extremely difficult to find in places other than the Arctic Circle.

To this day, Koizumi Hongzi has never seen a snow woman.

In fact, it's not just the Snow Girl, Koizumi Hongzi has never seen the real thing, including many other magic materials recorded in the family magic book.

Koizumi Akako, a young witch with little experience.

Just then, bright car lights flashed past the window.

Koizumi Hongzi stared in surprise at the person who got out of the car. It was Qin Zhibo.

He actually came?

Is it...

……

After a while, Qin Zhibo entered the Witch's House and handed the small bottle in his inner pocket to Koizumi Hongzi.

Koizumi Hongzi and the housekeeper opened their eyes wide, picked up the small bottle and examined it carefully under the light.

The water in the small bottle looked pure and free of any impurities.

"Is this it?" Koizumi Hongzi turned around and asked.

"Um……"

In fact, Qin Zhibo was not quite sure, but he did find only this.

"Then let me ask you, what does a snow girl look like?"

This is the first step of Koizumi Akako's identification process.

If Qin Zhibo had never seen the Snow Girl, he would definitely use the traditional mythological explanation that the Snow Girl is very beautiful.

However, after a moment's thought, Qin Zhibo replied, "It's not the kind of ugliness that's easy to describe..."

"Anyway, it's just ugly."

Ok?

He was actually right...

Koizumi Hongzi looked at the water in the small bottle in disbelief.

Could it be that this is really the snow water from the Snow Girl?

Koizumi Hongzi trotted into the underground secret room and dipped a magic talisman as narrow as phenolphthalein test paper placed on the bookshelf into the small bottle of water.

As a result, the magic talisman emitted a dim light.

This shows that the water here is indeed the snow water from the snow girl.

"You actually found it!"

"How did you find it?"

Koizumi Hongzi's face was filled with surprise, because the snow water on the snow girl was one of the precious potion ingredients that even the Red Magic Family had never obtained.

Qin Zhibo actually found this precious material that had never been obtained by three or even four generations of people just by going out?

In response to Koizumi Akako's question, Qin Zhibo also insisted on his original statement.

"Didn't I say that before?"

"It's a locating spell. I used a locating spell."

This……

Koizumi Hongzi looked at Qin Zhibo with an expression of "looking at a monster".

But apart from the quest spell, Koizumi Hongzi really couldn't think of a more reasonable reason.

It can't be that there are hints in the brain, right?

So Koizumi Akako had no choice but to believe what Qin Zhibo said.

"Cough, cough..."

"You just happened to guess right this time, don't be too complacent..."

Realizing that she had lost her composure when asking Qin Zhibo just now, Koizumi Hongzi tried to save her face in a tsundere tone.

……

Now that she had the snow water from the snow girl, Koizumi Hongzi also began to prepare to make high-level curse potions as agreed.

While Qin Zhibo was out looking for the Snow Girl, Koizumi Hongzi was also busy.

In the family records accumulated by the Red Magic Family, Koizumi Hongzi found the source of the curse ritual used by Fujie Akiyoshi.

While preparing to make the potion, Koizumi Hongzi introduced Qin Zhibo.

"This is a voodoo spell that is popular in West Africa. There is a sect called Voodoo that is popular there. This voodoo spell is exactly the witchcraft of Voodoo."

"Aside from the double curse, Voodoo's greatest skill is creating resurrected corpses."

"The wizards in this sect can use witchcraft to resurrect the dead and make them their slaves."

"It is said that this power comes from Baron Samedi, the god of death believed in by Voodoo."

As she spoke, Koizumi Hongzi casually threw out a page from an album and showed it to Qin Zhibo.

In this old hand-drawn illustration, there is a thin skeleton wearing a top hat, evening gown and a monocle.

A skeleton dressed as a gentleman...

"In short, the people of this sect are very dangerous. Their witchcraft is difficult even for magicians to deal with."

"If we meet again in the future, it's better to stay away from us..."

……

After some preparation, Koizumi Hongzi finally filled a huge crucible with various inexplicable materials.

As a drop of snow water from the snow woman was carefully dripped into the crucible, Koizumi Hongzi began to chant her chuunibyou-like spell.

"The Demonic Path of Hades, the King who rules the Dark Sabbath!"

"Observe the Red Covenant—"

"Lend me strength!"

"Lend me strength!"

Katcha!

In the sky, a golden thunderbolt suddenly struck.

"Finish……"

Koizumi Hongzi smiled evilly, then picked up the small bottle that had been in her hand for a long time and scooped up the dark green solution floating in the middle of the crucible.

Chapter 152: The Administrator's Private Commission - Izu Detective Team (First Update)

The next day, Qin Zhibo handed the potion made by Koizumi Hongzi to Okino Yoko's agent, Yamagishi Ei.

"This……"

Looking at the green solution in the bottle, Yamagishi Eiji looked troubled.

"Actually, I haven't told Yoko about her curse yet. I'm afraid it will make her even more upset."

"But the color of this thing...how can I tell her?"

Qin Zhibo immediately gave Yamagishi Eiji an idea.
