Chapter 152: The administrators private commissionIzu Detective Team (first update)
The next day, Qin Zhibo handed the potion made by Koizumi Hongko to Okino Yoko's manager, Yamagishi Sakae.
"this..."
Looking at the green solution in the bottle, Yamagishi Sakae looked embarrassed.
"Actually, I haven't told Yoko about her being cursed yet. I'm afraid she will be even more sad."
"But the color of this thing...how should I tell her?"
Qin Zhibo immediately gave Yamagishii an idea.
"You can put this stuff in an oral liquid bottle and tell her it's a cure."
"The green bottle is more effective..."
With no other choice, Yamagishi Sakae could only accept the potion and hand over the agreed reward of 1 million yen to Qin Zhibo.
This is just a deposit, if it works, the other half will be sent as well.
Before leaving, Qin Zhibo told Yamagishii again what Koizumi Hongzi had told him.
"Remember! This stuff can only be drunk by Okino Yoko."
“If you accidentally get it on your skin, you should wash your hands quickly.
Qin Zhibo's advice does not mean that the potion is toxic, but that the potion has almost the same effect as the voodoo spell that cursed Okino Yoko, both of which make people continue to be unlucky until they die.
If the average person gets it, they will suffer varying degrees of bad luck depending on the dose.
Therefore, this potion can only be taken by Okino Yoko, who is cursed.
When two types of curses exist in a body at the same time, the two curses will compete with each other, each trying to arrange the fate of Yoko Okino in their own way.
In this way, Yoko Okino will become safer.
This reminded Qin Zhibo of a movie called "Constantine".
At the end of the movie, the protagonist Constantine is about to die from lung cancer due to long-term smoking, and God decides to be lenient and let him go to heaven after his death.
On the way to the sky, the protagonist was forcibly dragged back by Satan just because he made an international friendly gesture to the devil.
Satan took out all the carcinogens from his lungs and cured him of the terminal illness.
The two curses in Okino Yoko's body are similar to the relationship between God and Satan. They both want to arrange a person's fate when he dies, so that he will not die.
Will it be super doubled?
Qin Zhibo neither knew nor dared to ask.
...
Tokyo, Tomohiro Detective Agency.
Qin Zhibo opened today's newspaper to check what happened yesterday, especially the news that happened in the town on the third day.
However, there is only one piece of news about Three Days Town.
Yoko Asanuma failed in her attempted murder of female star Akiko Kinoshita and continues to be on the run!
"As a professional stuntman, Yoko Asanuma was dissatisfied with her acting career, so she had the idea of killing Akiko Kinoshita..."
"...Detective Qin Zhibo promptly dismantled Asanuma Yoko's murder plan and successfully saved the female star Akiko Kinoshita from the ice and snow..."
"...Qin Zhibo, as one of the two famous detectives who has risen recently, what is behind his sudden fame..."
In this news, Qin Zhibo was surprised to find that newspapers began to list him as a famous detective.
You know, the weight of "a detective" and "a detective" are completely different.
This achievement still makes Qin Zhibo somewhat complacent.
but...
Seeing this news, Qin Zhibo suddenly remembered that he seemed to have tied Yoko Asanuma, who had turned into a "snow girl", to a tree with a shroud.
What if the police discovered Yoko Asanuma and then found her fingerprints on the shroud?
How should I explain myself?
But thinking about it carefully, Qin Zhibo felt that he might have been worrying too much.
Qin Zhibo guessed that the police found neither a living Yoko Asanuma nor a body, so they determined that Asanuma Yoko was on the run.
In this case, the scope of the police search should be in the direction of inhabited areas, not the top of the cold snow-capped mountains.
Even if Asanuma Yoko is discovered in the future, people should be more surprised about why Asanuma Yoko is still "alive" in that extremely cold environment, rather than wondering whose fingerprints on the cloth belong to her.
And there is another advantage of this, that is, if you or Koizumi Hongzi need the snow water on the snow girl again, you can go there directly to get it.
Maybe it will still be tied there next year!
In addition, the news that Qin Zhibo was most looking forward to, about the discovery of huge footprints of unknown creatures in the snow, did not appear in the newspapers.
From the perspective of a journalist, this incident is definitely more explosive and eye-catching news material than the murder case.
After all, murder cases are common these days, not only often, but also every day, but unknown creatures are not common.
However, no relevant information appeared in the newspapers, which only shows that the official blocked the information very tightly.
As for what the huge footprint was, Qin Zhibo saw the investigation point on the footprint.
The investigation instructions at the investigation point are very simple, almost regrettably simple.
【His footprints】
——
After reading the newspaper, Qin Zhibo turned on his computer as usual and went to the Nine Angels website to check if there were any new tasks.
[Administrator: I don’t have any tasks at the moment, but I have a private commission. I wonder if you can agree to it]
[Qin: Please speak]
[Administrator: I recently joined a computer technology forum, which is holding a group travel event to sign up for the "Izu Detective Team"]
[Administrator: A total of 11 people are invited to this event. The organizer has paid half of the accommodation fee in advance. The other half can be fully waived as long as you find the organizer hidden in this event - the Duke of Dark Night.]
[Administrator: Although I was selected, I am unable to go due to physical reasons, so I hope you can go to Izu for me to participate in this event]
[Administrator: After participating in the event, please inform me of the results. I am very interested in this!]
[Administrator: Of course, if you fail to find the Duke of Dark Night, I will also reimburse you for all the expenses incurred during this trip]
Qin Zhibo remembered that he had failed to complete the task twice before, and he still felt a little sorry for the unknown administrator.
Taking over his private commission this time can be regarded as compensation for him.
On the other hand, Qin Zhibo also had the opportunity to inquire about the administrator's situation, and maybe he could learn the administrator's true identity.
So Qin Zhibo replied in the dialog box——
[Qin: I am willing to go]
After a while, the administrator sent all the activity information of the "Izu Detective Team" to Qin Zhibo as usual.
After sending the event information, the administrator sent a final message
[Administrator: Let me give you a little advice, the Duke of the Night is a character written by a reasoning writer that I admire very much, and his true identity has never been revealed in the book]
[Administrator: In other words, there might be a woman behind it]
