Conan Rick's Investigator

"Finally, it's the controlled flames of our Red Magic Clan."

"Aside from Red Magic's most powerful skill, fire manipulation, the only thing Hongzi can do is divination and prophecy. As for mind control, he can barely make do with the help of magic items and magic circles."

"It's still too early to pass the Seven Formations test at this level."

This time, the butler did not flatter, but told the truth.

But Qin Zhibo still didn't give up his idea. He calmly analyzed, "Although her current level is not enough, don't forget where we are going next."

Koizumi Hongzi was stunned for a moment, "You mean?"

"Enkai..."

Enkai, the ultimate demon abyss located in the underground world of Kunyang, is also a holy place in the minds of magicians.

If you can reach Enkai safely, you may gain something from it, just like the legendary great magician Yin Boen.

Legend has it that Yin Bon obtained powerful magic that transcends time and space in Enkai. There are even rumors that he used this magic to settle on Saturn.

Such a powerful magician has surpassed the so-called Supreme Witch.

If one can obtain the "profound knowledge" hidden deep within Enkai, one will naturally be able to pass the test of the Supreme Witch.

Coincidentally, Qin Zhibo had just gotten a "ticket" to Enkai, and now all he needed was a plane ticket.

Koizumi Akako originally wanted to go to Enkai in order to find her mother who had disappeared many years ago.

14 years ago, Koizumi Akako's mother, like many magicians who pursue powerful magic, went deep into the underground world and never came back.

"Lord Hongzi! Are you really going to that place?"

Seeing that going to Enkai seemed to be a foregone conclusion, the usually gloomy butler suddenly asked excitedly.

Chapter 963 Scotch Whisky

"Lord Anko!"

"If anything happens to you again, our Red Magic Clan will lose its last heir!"

"Even the madam back then only went to that place after confirming that Lady Hongzi was the heir!"

The butler's words were very excited.

Although Koizumi Akako had discussed with Qin Zhibo about cooperating to go to Enkai some time ago, he always thought that this was impossible.

After hundreds of years of attempts, magicians and witches have already realized the power of that place.

But now, Koizumi Akako is about to challenge the place called "holy land" but actually "purgatory" again.

Facing the butler's obstruction, Koizumi Hongzi explained: "We now have the Parnester fragments and aliens leading the way. It will definitely not be like my mother..."

"No! Master Hongzi!"

The butler's tone became stronger. "Even if the thing you described really has such magical powers, it's still a life-or-death situation!"

"That place... there is a real God!"

"The Toad God is high above! He is holy and lazy, and never cares about the lives of humans!"

"Even a magician as powerful as you is nothing more than an ant before God!"

"Enough!" Koizumi Hongzi's face suddenly darkened and she shouted at the housekeeper.

"What I do is my own decision. As the heir of the Red Magic Clan, I order you not to interfere with me!"

Perhaps to maintain her youthful and beautiful appearance, or perhaps because of her own pride, Koizumi Akako rarely gets angry about things.

Qin Zhibo has been with Koizumi Hongzi for so long, and this is the first time he has seen her genuinely angry, even with obvious anger.

This scared Miise Yangmeng, who was floating above her head, and she quickly flew behind Qin Zhibo and hid.

"You are just my servant. All you have to do is obey me."

Just like a volcanic eruption that only lasted for a moment, Koizumi Hongzi suppressed her anger and spoke arrogantly to the butler.

The housekeeper also fell silent in front of Koizumi Hongzi's tough attitude, took a step back and bowed slightly.

Koizumi Hongzi turned to Qin Zhibo and asked, "When do we set off?"

It seemed that she was very anxious, but Qin Zhibo could not leave Japan immediately.

"I'll contact you later, I still have some things to deal with..."

Qin Zhibo looked at the "Mummy Yin" next to him and asked, "Do you have any way to preserve my friend's body?"

"Try not to let him rot too badly before we get back..."

It’s unknown how many days it will take for him to come back, and Qin Zhibo is worried that Akai Shuichi’s body will rot.

"This is easy to handle..."

Koizumi Hongzi, who was skilled in preparing various exotic specimens, called the butler and instructed him, "Go and prepare a large amount of formalin. You will be responsible for protecting this body until I return."

"Yes."

The butler dragged Shuichi Akai's body and slowly walked towards the other direction of the living room.

……

Night falls in a single apartment.

Toru Amuro sat cross-legged on the tatami, with a charging laptop on the low table in front of him.

In the email on the laptop, there was a video that Yuya Kazami had just sent.

Move the mouse and the cursor points to the play button of the video.

On the computer screen, I saw a blue figure jumping down from the stair railing. The body slid in a long curve in the air and jumped directly to the bottom of the stairs.

That amazing jumping ability is like a werewolf monster in a movie.

When his feet landed firmly on the ground, the blue figure turned the corner of the stairs with almost no pause or buffering, and continued to leap towards the steps below.

Yuya Kazami sent several emails with videos in a row. The videos were all the same, except for the floor numbers.

Watching the scene in the video, Toru Amuro leaned back unconsciously, and a chill spread throughout his body.

Who is this person?

During the day, after confirming that the sniper who killed Gin was hiding in that office building and carrying out the sniper attack, Toru Amuro called Yuya Kazami to collect surveillance videos of the building.

But unfortunately, none of these surveillance cameras captured this person's face. He was deliberately avoiding being filmed by the surveillance cameras.

Coupled with the obstruction caused by the repairman's hat, it is definitely impossible to distinguish this person's appearance.

But at the moment, what puzzled Toru Amuro the most was how he managed to walk up the stairs from the 2th floor to the 24st floor in just 1 minutes.

In the surveillance footage, the killer jumped down from the stairs when he reached the first 7 floors.

This speed is already very fast, and the movements are beyond ordinary people.

But when he reached the 17th floor, the killer seemed to feel that this way of going down was still a bit slow, so he suddenly changed his strategy and flipped sideways from the stair railing, jumped onto the next flight of stairs, and so on.

This way, you can go down the stairs significantly faster because the distance required is the least, almost a vertical line.

But what is puzzling is that since he has the ability to jump vertically, why didn't he use this method to go down from the beginning?

This only shows that this quick way of going downstairs was something the killer came up with on the spur of the moment. He had not received any such training beforehand, and had not even thought about it.

The most difficult part of jumping sideways from the stair railing to the next flight of stairs is that your feet don't land on flat ground, but on steps of different heights.

Without strong body control and balance, ordinary people will lose their balance and fall down to get injured after jumping.

We asked ourselves, Amuro Toru felt that it was okay for him to complete this action occasionally.

But in the process of escaping, it was a sudden thought, and it was almost impossible for me to jump dozens of times in a row without hesitation.

The organization's snipers are relatively weak in terms of physical fitness, because they are only responsible for long-range support and never deal damage in close combat.

Who on earth can do this?

Why have I never heard of this person before?

Just as Toru Amuro was sitting quietly thinking, the last email came.

He opened the email, and this time the attachment was not a video, but a frame from the surveillance video at the building entrance.

I saw a man dressed as a repairman, holding the brim of his hat with his hand, and walked into the building.

Although he tried his best to cover his face, the surveillance camera still captured one side of his face, including a small part of his facial features in miniature.

Seeing this somewhat blurry profile, Amuro Toru was stunned at first, and then his eyes gradually shrank.

The surprise in his eyes was not concealed at all, and could not be concealed.

This is... Jingguang!

Toru Amuro looked a little dazed. He couldn't make any conclusion based on this vague picture, but this intuition immediately emerged in his heart.

As the two have been close friends and childhood sweethearts for many years, Toru Amuro is very familiar with the appearance of Keimitsu Morifushi.

Even though it has been three years since that incident, he still often opens the police academy photos hidden in his computer and recalls that youthful and beautiful time.

Is this really Jingguang?

Toru Amuro enlarged the photo to the extreme, but with current surveillance and image technology, it is impossible to restore the photographed people at the pixel level. Instead, the more it is enlarged, the blurrier it becomes.

He restored the photo to its original size, and became even more certain that this was Zhufu Jingguang.

Seven parts of the similarity are in appearance, and three parts are intuitive.

Morofushi Kagemitsu had appeared before, not only saving Officer Yamamura Sou of Gunma Prefecture, but also appearing at the scene of the Tokyo Tower bombing.

Zhu Fu Jingguang is still alive.

But why? Why did he snipe Gin?

Is this an instruction from the FBI?

Toru Amuro had previously speculated that Keimitsu Morofushi might not have died at the time, but was rescued by the FBI behind Shuichi Akai, and lived in hiding ever since.

Until now, the FBI has begun to use Zhu Fujingguang to help them do things.

But the problem is that this operation was led by the Japanese Public Security Bureau, and the FBI had no way of knowing about it.

And the FBI had no reason to kill Gin. They probably wanted to capture Gin.

Unless it's that Akai Shuichi...

Toru Amuro heard in the organization not long ago that an insignificant low-level member of the organization asked Gin to leave the organization, and that woman had once partnered with Shuichi Akai.

The two may have developed feelings for each other, which led to the woman wanting to leave the organization, and was therefore executed by Gin.

But even so, Toru Amuro felt that it was still a bit unreasonable for Shuichi Akai to use Keimitsu Morofushi to kill Gin, and it was not in line with Shuichi Akai's usual calm style that was not dominated by personal emotions.

Toru Amuro frowned, supported his hands in front of him, and fell into deep thought.

……

At night, at a dock filled with containers.

In the aisle between the containers, several men in black gathered and expressed their thoughts.

"In the final analysis, it was Gin that guy who recruited the undercover agent into the organization, which is why this happened!"

"But he also paid the price for it. It can only be called karma~"

"Otherwise, even if he manages to come back alive, he will not be able to escape punishment from the organization."

Chianti, standing among the group, expressed his own views, his voice devoid of any sorrow for his fallen companions.

As a female sniper with a rebellious, cold-blooded and neurotic personality, she had previously disdained to please Gin like Vodka did, but due to his status, she had to obey.

But death is like the extinguishing of a light. Once Gin died, she no longer had any sense of awe.

"Cohen, do you think I'm right?"

Chianti complained all he wanted and even implicated Cohen next to him, hoping to rely on others' approval to prove that he was right.

But this time Cohen did not respond and chose to remain silent.

She turned her gaze and looked at Vodka who was standing opposite her.

I saw Vodka in a daze, his expression under the sunglasses was even more silly than usual, and he hadn't said a word since he arrived.
