At this time, people who were meditating gradually realized that Koizumi Hongzi's psychic technique failed to take effect, and even the program effects were no longer effective.
The spirit seance ceremony just now was a bit out of place, but at least it put a lot of thought into the design of the mechanism and deceived many people into thinking it was a real ghost.
Fat Man picked up the beautiful girl figurine again, rubbed his face and said, "I thought it was some kind of great person? The result is not the same?"
When Koizumi Hongzi heard this, she was so angry that her good magic was being underestimated. She was about to turn around to refute, but was stopped by Qin Zhibo.
"Hahaha!"
"Actually, we all know that magic cannot exist. We are gathered together today just to express our condolences to Miss Yahara Huang."
"May the deceased rest in peace ~ Amitabha..."
Qin Zhibo chants the Buddha's name and makes the sign of the cross with his right hand on his chest, which is a combination of east and west.
This speech also brought the somewhat stiff atmosphere of the scene to a new level. The host Hirasaka took the initiative to stand up and said to everyone.
"As expected of a famous detective, his speech is really good."
"I want everyone to understand that what happened to Miss Yayuanhuang was just an accident; she passed away like this. I hope that everyone can get their lives back on track in the future and stop holding on to the past..."
Hirasaka's words were obviously addressed to the unknown threater.
But obviously, Mihua's criminals are unlikely to give up their criminal plans easily, especially after they have already killed a person.
But for now, Hirasaka's words still paint a perfect picture for the seance ceremony...
question mark?
…
After the spirit seance ceremony was over, everyone was not in the mood to argue with each other or chat, so they went back to their rooms to prepare for rest.
As soon as she arrived in the room, Koizumi Hongzi immediately lost her temper with Qin Zhibo.
"Why didn't you let me refute that fat man just now?"
"He is disrespectful to Red Magic. I have a thousand ways...oh no! Ten thousand ways to make him understand how stupid his idea is!"
"I know~I know~"
Qin Zhibo reluctantly advised Hongzi, "But so what if I teach that fat man a lesson, he is just an insignificant person."
"And what if he learns that you are a real witch, worships you instead, makes a figure in your image, and rubs his greasy face against the figure with your image every day, how should you deal with it?"
When thinking of the scene described by Qin Zhibo, Koizumi Hongzi's whole body was filled with excitement.
You know, witches are all about appearance.
Otherwise, could the genes of the Red Magic family transform from an old witch with a hooked nose and a pointed chin into a beautiful girl from generation to generation?
"What you said makes sense."
"If it really comes to that, the only option is to kill him..."
Koizumi Hongzi's voice became lower and lower, but Qin Zhibo still heard the incredible words.
kill?
Kill someone for something like this?
Koizumi Hongzi spoke of murder in a calm and calm tone, which made Qin Zhibo feel very incredible, even a little strange.
Although this witch lady is far from being kind, and even has a little evil in her heart, she is not too bad after all.
In other words, after possessing powerful abilities that far exceed those of ordinary people, he did not change his job to become a "man of the motherland", but instead thought about how to "catch thieves" all day long, which is already very good.
But killing people for trivial matters is not in line with her usual personality.
This reminded Qin Zhibo of the time when Koizumi Hongzi's heart was parasitized by the "feeder" in the underground abyss - Enkai.
This kind of "mind feeder" will parasitize in the heart of intelligent life, amplifying all negative emotions such as desire and greed in the heart.
When these negative emotions are amplified to a certain extent, they will influence the host to do things beyond their original rationality...
Koizumi Hongzi was a little frightened by Qin Zhibo's gaze, and asked: "Why are you looking at me?"
"nothing……"
Qin Zhibo shook his head from side to side dully.
There is not much information available about the inner feeder, but it certainly cannot be surgically removed.
Magic may be possible, but as Koizumi Anko herself said, corresponding magical creatures require corresponding divine sending spells.
For example, to get rid of the inner breeder, the inner breeder should send a magic spell.
However, as the breeder was a creature raised by Tsathogua in the temple pool, even the great magician Ibon did not record how to dispel it, let alone the people on the ground who had never entered the Enkai Temple.
The only way that can be thought of is to return to Tsathogya and ask about the method of expelling him.
But Ebon wrote on the stone wall of Enkai that Sathoggua did not like to be disturbed by the same person in a short period of time, otherwise he would be angry.
This "short time" is very abstract.
Because for the Great Old Ones who have existed from eternity, how long is too long?
There is no way to dispel the inner breeder now, so she can only suppress it with Koizumi Anko's own willpower.
Can it be suppressed? How long will it be suppressed?
This is all an unknown quantity.
"By the way, you said there is no Ya Yuan Huang in the mirror, what is this?" Qin Zhibo asked.
"It literally means that the mirror is a window or door to the underworld, but Yayuan Huang is not on the other side..."
"There are two possibilities for this situation. One is that the person is not dead yet, and the soul will naturally not appear on the other side of the mirror..."
Koizumi Hongzi's words stopped suddenly, and her nerves became a little nervous.
Seeing this, Qin Zhibo quickly asked, "Is there another kind?"
"The other way is that the soul is imprisoned in a certain place by someone, so it cannot appear."
Imprisoned soul...
It doesn't sound like something ordinary people can do.
Koizumi Anko further added: "At the moment of killing a person, the soul can be trapped in a certain way, such as when you resurrected the man at my house last time..."
Koizumi Anko is talking about resurrecting Shuichi Akai.
If Qin Zhibo hadn't used the "glass bottle" to trap Akai Shuichi's soul in time, even if his body was resurrected, it might just be a shell.
"Another way is to trap the soul in some way at the moment when the seance is successful."
Qin Zhibo reasoned based on the clues provided by Koizumi Hongzi and found that whether it was the moment of Yahara Huang's death or a ghost coming, Hirasaka was very likely to meet the conditions.
Could it be that he imprisoned Ya Yuan Huang's soul?
Qin Zhibo thought about it and decided to systematically understand the previous cases.
There was the accidental death case of Ya Yuan Huang a year ago, and the death case of the editor boy half a month ago.
Qin Zhibo took out his phone and dialed the number of the Mumu Police Department office skillfully.
beep--
beep--
"This is the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department, and I am Megure Thirteen."
After two rings, Mu Mu answered the phone, obviously working overtime.
"I am Qin Zhibo."
"Brother Qin?!" Mu Mu's voice suddenly became excited. There must be nothing else to do with the call at this time.
"Tell me, where did the murder occur?"
Mu Mu's tone became serious, and a group of younger brothers who were waiting for him immediately came around the desk.
Qin Zhibo: "...The murder hasn't happened yet..."
"No……"
Memu's voice revealed that he was a little depressed.
After all, cases are performance, and you are working overtime in the office anyway. Why not go out and do some performance work? You might have the opportunity to be promoted to a management officer by the end of the year.
"Don't worry, Officer Memu, there may be a chance for you to appear..."
Qin Zhibo comforted Mu Mu and then started talking about business.
He told the two cases, but Officer Megure was very confused.
"These two cases seem to have no impression..."
After a round of questioning, Memu learned from brother Takagi that the two cases were handled by the Shiratori Police Department.
"Quickly go find the information on the two cases. Brother Qin needs it." Mumu Police Department ordered on the other end of the phone.
"yes!"
Takagi, the little errand boy, was ordered to go out.
"By the way, Brother Qin, are you investigating something?" Mumu Police Department asked.
"I think there are some doubts about these two cases..."
In less than 5 minutes, Takagi brought back the information on the two cases.
Using a question-and-answer method on the phone, Qin Zhibo gradually completed the general information about the case.
The first is the case of Ya Yuan Huang. On the day of the accident, many people confessed that Ya Yuan Huang drove home alone.
This multi-person group is not three people, but four people.
In other words, besides Hirasaka, the doctor man, the murdered editor man, there was one other person who was partying with Masahara Huang that day.
This person is Izumi Maho, the short-haired girl who looks quiet and blushes when Kuroba Kaito teases her.
This person was also present that day, which was somewhat beyond Qin Zhibo's expectation.
In the seance ceremony just now, the short-haired girl did not say whether she was threatened, and neither Hirasaka nor the doctor man mentioned her.
Apart from this bit of information, everything else was similar to what Qin Zhibo had heard from various sources before.
Yayuan Huang died after driving into the water. The car was found, but his body was not found.
The first person to discover the body of the editor man was the blond girl. The editor man had been stabbed more than a dozen times in the abdomen, and the murderer also left the word "kira" in blood next to him.
Just when Qin Zhibo finished understanding the situation and was about to hang up, Takagi said again.
"Mr. Qin, when I was collecting case files, I found a case related to the people involved in the case. Although I don't know if it is useful, I took it over..."
"explain."
"It's like this. A week ago, a family came to report missing, saying that their daughter had lost contact. After investigation, it was found that their daughter was working as a maid in the villa of the cartoonist Mr. Hirasaka before she disappeared."
maid?
Qin Zhibo was a little surprised. There was actually a maid in this place?
"go on."
Takagi was very obedient and continued: "The police later went to Mr. Hirasaka's home to investigate. Mr. Hirasaka said that it was true that the maid had left the villa, but the labor relationship had been terminated, and there was a recording of the conversation between the two as evidence."
"Originally, we were somewhat suspicious of this and were planning to apply for a search warrant for the villa from above. However, the next day, a friend of the maid discovered that the maid herself appeared in Cupido Town."
"So this case will be dropped..."
At this time, the Mumu Police Department who was listening on the side couldn't listen anymore and lectured impatiently.
"This kind of thing that has been investigated is not considered a case. At best, it is just a run away from home."
"Yes!" Takagi responded quickly.
Qin Zhibo felt quite confused when he heard this new situation.
There used to be a maid in this villa, which confirmed my previous suspicion that such a large place really needs maids to take care of it.
But if it was a resignation, would a normal person record the conversation between the two?
Doing this makes you feel like you don’t have three hundred taels of silver here.
And what’s a bit strange is that since there was a maid in the villa before, why was there no mention of the maid’s testimony at the party a year ago?
The maid was asked out during the party?
Or was the maid hired by Hirasaka after that accident?
But why did we suddenly need to hire a maid after the accident when we didn’t have a maid before?
…
After hanging up the call to the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department, Qin Zhibo's doubts were not only not solved, but even more.
But this is all just speculation and there is no real stone hammer.
Hirasaka may have a problem, but there is currently someone threatening him and Doctor Man.
This threater may be a girl with short hair, because she was also at the party a year ago. She may have witnessed something at that time and wanted to avenge Yahara Huang.
Although the short-haired girl looks very weak, she seems to be afraid of killing people, and even stabbed her more than a dozen times.
But the human heart is separated from the belly, and who knows the true face of the heart?
While Qin Zhibo was on the phone for consultation, Koizumi Hongzi began to use tarot cards for divination again.
However, the result did not improve, it was still the devil's card.
She took a deep breath, frowned slightly, and shuffled the cards back into the pile.
"When will Kuroba come back?"
While shuffling the cards, Koizumi Anko asked pretending not to care.
Hearing this, Qin Zhibo's eyes froze, and he suddenly remembered that he had brought his "son" here.
Where is my son?
Looking at the clock on the wall, it's already past 9 o'clock, and Kuroba Kaito has been away for two hours.
Even if you go out to look for clues, it’s time to come back now, right?
Qin Zhibo frowned, thinking that it would not be a problem if he encountered a wild beast.
This is a suburb of Tokyo, a popular tourist spot and a place where wild villas are built. There will be no dangerous beasts, not even a snake.
Encountering danger from the human side?
But everyone stayed together during the séance, and no one left midway.
...Let's go look for it...
Just when Qin Zhibo was about to put on his coat and go out, there was a knock on the door.
"came back?"
The two people in the room looked at the door. This kid couldn't help but said that he would come back soon.
Qin Zhibo walked over and opened the door, but the person standing at the door was not the "son" he longed for, but a short-haired girl.
"Miss Izumi, do you have something?"
"Sorry for disturbing you……"
The first time she opened the door, the short-haired girl glanced into the room, but she didn't see the person she wanted to see, so she continued in a sickly voice.
"That's it. I just went to Miss Akiko's room and found that there was no one in it..."
When Qin Zhibo heard this, his brows immediately furrowed.
