Conan Rick's Investigator

Chapter 676: Immortal Lao Qin (The last day, please give me a monthly ticket!)

At this time, Tomonori Kinoshita's adrenal glands secreted a large amount of adrenaline.

This caused his heartbeat and blood circulation to speed up, his orifices to dilate, his palms to tremble, his brain to become hazy, and his body to stand still, looking at Qin Zhibo in horror.

The one who caused this series of reactions was Qin Zhibo... and he was still alive.

He once used voodoo on Qin Zhibo's hair with his own hands, and it is impossible for a person cursed by voodoo to be alive.

Yes, it is impossible to fail a voodoo spell.

Could it be that I used it wrongly, or it was someone else's hair?

This should also be impossible...

Qin Zhibo had ordered someone to carefully clean the room where he stayed the day before, and locked the door after cleaning. There was no way there was a single strand of other people's hair left inside.

This is impossible, that is impossible...

Am I seeing a ghost?

Kinoshita Tomonori stared at Qin Zhibo with wide eyes in horror, leaving the people behind Qin Zhibo a little confused.

This guy...why does he look like he's seen a ghost?

However, Qin Zhibo had already planned his reaction after the two met countless times in his mind, and immediately took Kinoshita Tomonori's hand with a familiar look.

"Yeah! It's me!"

"I'm here to support you, aren't I? Don't you remember?"

"Not only did I come here to show my support, I also brought some friends along..."

Tomonori Kinoshita was still in a daze, and the handshake was completely dominated by Qin Zhibo's unilateral power.

Qin Zhibo's hand shook Kinoshita Tomonori's arm, like shaking a jump rope, which was a bit funny.

But Qin Zhibo's goal has been achieved in this seemingly meaningless action.

【Survey√】

-

When they shook hands for the first time in the villa, Qin Zhibo didn't pay much attention to this person and didn't investigate his following skills.

Now looking at it, it is indeed extraordinary.

After Qin Zhibo let go of his hand, Kinoshita Tomonori finally came to his senses, corrected his distorted expression slightly, and forced a smile on his face.

"Yes, yes... yes, yes, I think I gave this Maori lady a few extra tickets, right?"

Seeing Kinoshita Tomonori's series of unusual reactions, Mao Lilan couldn't figure out what was going on, so she could only reply: "Yes, Mr. Kinoshita, but I brought one more person with me. Will it bother you?"

"How, how could that be? Haha..." Kinoshita Tomonori laughed awkwardly and said in a tone that lacked sincerity: "Welcome everyone to my photography exhibition."

"Please take a look at it..."

After he finished speaking, Tomonori Kinoshita turned and left.

He really wanted to find a place like a toilet to calm his mind.

Through the touch and temperature of the handshake just now, he was sure of one thing.

That is, the person standing in front of him was not Qin Zhibo's ghost, but a real living person.

But how is this possible!?

The voodoo spell I cast myself and the news that the ambulance was coming to rescue people, there was no way this could be wrong!

Qin Zhibo should be dead, why is he still standing here?

But just as Kinoshita Tomonori was about to get away, he was grabbed by Qin Zhibo.

"You can't leave..."

"Huh?" Kinoshita Tomonori's heart suddenly trembled. Could it be that he already knew?

In fact, when Tomonori Kinoshita heard from the editor-in-chief that Qin Zhibo was coming to visit, he subconsciously thought that he was coming for him.

After all, the other party is a famous detective and has already started investigating the "Curse of the Dead".

Visiting him during this sensitive period must have made him have some guesses in his mind.

Therefore, Tomonori Kinoshita decided to strike preemptively and nip the threat in the bud.

But he didn't know that Qin Zhibo just wanted to complete a side quest and collect some rewards to buy mall items.

As a result, the fake was tested and the real was revealed.

"You are the host, so you should explain to us the meaning of these photos."

"Since we last parted, I almost died on the way..."

Looking at Tomonori Kinoshita with cold sweat dripping from his temples, Qin Zhibo still had a smile on his face.

When Amuro Toru heard this gossip he had never heard before, he became interested and quickly asked, "Teacher, what's going on?"

Qin Zhibo smiled and waved his hands, "It's nothing, actually. I just had a car accident on the way home. I went to the hospital for a long time for examinations before I was released."

"Oh." Amuro Toru nodded, "So that's how it is..."

Seeing Qin Zhibo talking about life and death so calmly, Kinoshita Tomo was even more frightened, but he still pretended to be concerned on the surface.

"Oh? Is there such a thing?"

"You really need to be more careful, it's too dangerous..."

Qin Zhibo nodded in agreement. "Yeah, now you know what I went through to participate in this photography exhibition, right?"

“So please explain the photo to us.”

Seeing Qin Zhibo's narrowed eyes, Kinoshita Tomonori forced a smile on his face and could only nod with gritted teeth.

"Everyone, please follow me..."

Conan looked at this scene and made some judgments in his head.

Why does it seem like Kinoshita is a little afraid of Qin Zhibo?

How strange...

……

At Qin Zhibo's suggestion, Kinoshita Tomonori was forced to become a commentator and was unable to leave.

He quietly observed Qin Zhibo. Although his mood had gradually calmed down, his mind still felt it was too incredible.

Judging from what Qin Zhibo said just now, the voodoo curse did indeed fall successfully on Qin Zhibo, but it did not take his life.

Why doesn't he die?

What is going on here?

Could it be that the voodoo curse had no effect on this man?

Kinoshita Tomonori frowned, puzzled.

Qin Zhibo looked at Kinoshita Tomonori's confused expression and knew that the purpose of his trip had been achieved.

Except for Qin Zhibo, everyone else was paying attention to the photos on the wall, and asked Kinoshita Tomonori to explain them from time to time.

The photos he took were all about the customs and cultures of various African countries, which were indeed very novel to Mao Lilan and Suzuki Sonoko, who had always lived in the international metropolis of Tokyo.

Conan also followed with great interest, looking at the photos of black people.

Although Conan, who comes from a wealthy family, has traveled to many places in the world with the Kudo couple, they have never set foot in Africa.

In today's concept of globalization, Africa is still synonymous with a wild land.

Conan scanned the photos and suddenly saw an interesting one.

He quickly ran to the photo and saw its contents clearly.

This is a wall, and the mottled marks tell of its not-so-shallow history.

And on this wall, there are "X" symbols drawn all over with chalk of different colors.

Conan: It's "X"!

Chapter 677: Long-awaited Side Quest

When Conan saw the wall full of "X" symbols in the photo, his eyes immediately lit up.

I can see so many "X"s here. What does this mean?

I really want to know...

Conan looked at Tomonori Kinoshita who was not far away. As the photographer, he was the only one who could explain the content of the photo.

However, I can't go directly to Tomonori Kinoshita to explain "X" for myself now, because Ran Mouri is still next to me.

If Mao Lilan had also heard the meaning of "X", she would not have called to ask.

If you don’t call and ask yourself, there will be no “most important X” as a gift!

No, Mao Lilan must not know about this!

Seeing that Qin Zhibo and his group were about to sneak here, Conan, as a scheming frog, quickly took the initiative to meet them.

"Sister Xiaolan, I suddenly have to pee! Can you take me to the restroom in the mall?"

Suzuki Sonoko was a little puzzled and said, "Conan, don't you usually go to the toilet by yourself? Why did you let Xiaolan follow you this time..."

Conan looked at Suzuki Sonoko in his heart and said, "You're talking too much!"

Usually, Conan makes excuses to go to the bathroom just to free himself to investigate the case, and of course he doesn't care about Ran Mouri following him.

Looking at Conan's distorted expression as if his bladder was hurting, and his legs clamped together, looking pitiful, Mao Lilan immediately took Conan's little hand lovingly.

"It's okay, Sonoko, I'll just take Conan to the bathroom, everyone can continue shopping..."

Just like that, Mao Lilan took Conan away, and Qin Zhibo looked at the two people who had a long way to go, with some expectation in his eyes.

……

After the two left, the rest of the people continued to visit the photography exhibition and sure enough, they came across that photo.

Looking at the "X" symbols all over the wall, Judy and Sonoko were both stunned.

"Eh? Teacher Judy, isn't this X?"

"Yes!"

The two took a closer look at the photo and noticed that the X symbols on the wall photo were of different sizes and colors, and there were also flowers and pearl necklaces hanging on them.

"Mr. Kinoshita, what does this photo mean?"

Sonoko turned around, pointed at the photo, and asked Tomonori Kinoshita who was walking behind her.

At this time, Tomonori Kinoshita was thinking about the "Immortal Old Qin". When Sonoko called him out, he came to his senses, walked to the photo and explained.

"This is the wall of the tomb of Voodoo Queen Marie Laveau. People write the symbol 'XXX' on it to make a wish. It is said that Marie Laveau's spirit will help these people realize their wishes..."

"Oh!" Teacher Judy's eyes lit up. "X stands for kiss. These people who are praying want to kiss the dead Miss Mary in this way."

"What a shame! If Maori-san saw this photo, maybe he would figure out the meaning of 'X'..."

When Qin Zhibo heard this, he understood why Conan asked him the meaning of "X".

It turned out to be a kiss. I thought it was something else...

But the result is still the same, Conan just wants to be nice!

As long as it's astringent, I'll stick to it!
