At the entrance of the "Cremation Center", Qin Zhibo and Koizumi Hongzi opened the door and walked out.
"Why don't you let me join that Zoroastrian cult?" Koizumi Hongzi turned her head and asked somewhat sullenly.
Qin Zhibo thought for a moment and asked: "Then why do you want to join the Zoroastrian Cult?"
"That's not easy. As long as I become a 'saint' of Zoroastrianism, I can gain loyal followers."
Koizumi Anko didn’t tell the whole story. The purpose of gaining loyal followers is also to feed back the Red Magic clan.
Currently, the Red Magic Clan lacks an orthodox leader. As the heir, he is weak and has only one butler. He can only rely on the capital accumulated by the family to get by.
But if you can recruit followers and subordinates from the Zoroastrian Cult, and when you officially come of age and become the head of the Red Magic Clan, you will have a greater chance of making a comeback and show your prominence in the "Gathering of Witches".
Relying on her invincible charm to capture men, Koizumi Anko is still very confident about her becoming a "saint" and her future.
Qin Zhibo only guessed the superficial meaning of Koizumi Hongzi's desire to join the Zoroastrian Cult, and explained in turn, "Have you heard of 'painting pie'?"
Koizumi Anko shook her head in confusion.
"To draw a big pie is to make unrealistic promises, use rhetoric to make people believe it, and then serve them."
"The man just introduced the history of Zoroastrianism, and there is no other more practical content. Have you seen the 200,000 followers he mentioned?"
"We don't even know whether he is the real priest chosen by Zoroastrianism. After all, this place has just been established. Zoroastrianism has never appeared in Japan before, and no one can tell the authenticity."
Persian Zoroastrianism reminded Qin Zhibo of Mingjiao in martial arts novels, which originated from Manichaeism in Persia.
But even in the novel, the Manichaeans still know how to issue a Holy Fire Order to the leader of the Ming Cult, which is similar to a genuine authorization letter.
Just based on Kuchiki Hiyan's words, it is difficult for people to believe that he can represent the orthodox Zoroastrian religion, and it is impossible to talk about other conditions.
Qin Zhibo's explanation made Koizumi Hongzi gradually calm down and stopped pursuing the matter.
The worried Qin Zhibo breathed a sigh of relief and looked back behind him to see if any Zoroastrian followers were chasing him.
not at all.
Of course, Qin Zhibo will not forget that the purpose of coming here is only to investigate the arsonists, so there is no need for him to have too much involvement with the Zoroastrian Cult, or even join it.
After all, catching the arsonist is only for a short time, but if you join this kind of sect, you may have some trouble with your identity as a detective.
However, judging from what Kuchiki Hiyan said, the Zoroastrian Cult in Japan has only been established for a short time, has not carried out fire transmission, and probably does not have many believers.
If the arsonist is one of them, it should be easier to find out.
As long as you squat near here and pay attention to the current members of Zoroastrian Cult, you should be able to find the answer.
Qin Zhibo looked around, trying to find a suitable place to stay, when he suddenly saw some familiar figures at the intersection.
In front of the railing next to the intersection, Sato Miwako, with her hands clasped together and a sad expression, squatted in front of a small vase of flowers placed beside the railing and bowed her head in mourning.
The Young Detective Team, Takagi Wataru, and Shiratori Rensaburo were standing not far away, watching everything silently.
"What on earth are Officer Sato doing? Aren't you taking us to the place where Ayumi saw the arsonist yesterday to collect evidence from the scene?"
"Why did you stop here suddenly?"
Moto Kojima looked a little impatient, because Sato had promised to take the young detective team to eat cake after the evidence collection work was completed.
"Shh-"
Ayumi made a shushing gesture and looked at Miwako Sato with sympathy, "Can't you see the sad expression on Officer Sato's face? He should be mourning an old friend, right?"
Ayumi's words gave a hint to Shiratori Rensaburo who was standing beside him. After a flash of inspiration, he made a fist-smashing gesture to figure it out.
"I see, I understand."
"Today is the death anniversary of Police Officer Sato's father, Police Officer Masayoshi Sato."
Shiratori Rensaburo checked the date in his mind again and confirmed: "Yes, that's right, it's today."
"Eighteen years ago today, Officer Sato's father died at this intersection while chasing a robber and murderer."
"This intersection." Standing on the other side of the police car, Takagi Wataru, as a new member of the police force, had some doubts.
"Yes, it rained heavily that day. Officer Masayoshi Sato was hit by a truck while chasing the robber here."
"When the ambulance arrived at the scene, Officer Sato breathed his last in the car under the watch of his family and passed away to heaven."
Shiratori Rensaburo explained, and the young detective team standing by also listened attentively, and looked at Miwako Sato with even more sympathy.
Just when there was a trace of sadness in this silent atmosphere, a voice came from behind everyone.
"So that's the case. Was the case solved later?"
Everyone looked back in surprise, only to find that it was Qin Zhibo, accompanied by a crimson girl.
"Mr. Qin? Why are you here?"
Shiratori Rensaburo's face was a little surprised, but his eyes were actually peeking at Koizumi Anko next to him.
Although she is not destined to have short hair, she is still very beautiful and exudes a very natural and noble temperament.
This kind of noble temperament cannot be faked, and the identity of this girl must not be simple.
As a policeman from a distinguished family, Shiratori Rensaburo could tell in a second that Koizumi Anko was not an ordinary person, but even if he wanted to break his head, he could not guess that Koizumi Anko was a worldview tearer.
Qin Zhibo glanced at Koizumi Hongzi next to him. In order not to expose the Nine Angels organization behind him, he did not say that he was here to investigate the Zoroastrian Cult.
"We're here to go shopping."
After hearing this, everyone except Conan was even more surprised?
Takagi Wataru was more outspoken. He looked at Koizumi Anko next to him and asked, "Who is this?"
Before Koizumi Hongzi could say the shameful words of "slave" and "master," Qin Zhibo quickly answered, "She is my friend's daughter. I will help take care of her."
These words made Koizumi Hongzi a little angry, and she was demoted a generation for no reason. She secretly patted the back of Qin Zhibo's hand, but didn't say anything more.
"By the way, has the case you mentioned about Officer Sato's father been solved now?"
Faced with Qin Zhibo's question, Shiratori Rensaburo shook his head, "It's a pity that it didn't happen. That case became an unsolved case and was called."
Shiratori Rensaburo couldn't remember something, which prompted Conan to start the popular science mode.
"Chou Si Lang"
"The criminal policeman who was hit by the truck kept calling the robber Chousilang to the fleeing robber, so the police named the case the 'Chousilang Incident'."
"Of course, although a dragnet was laid, the prosecution period of the case ended three years ago because the criminal policeman who had the key information passed away."
After saying this, Conan saw the displeased look in Haibara Ai's eyes next to him, and immediately realized that he was stripping off his vest again, and quickly explained that he heard what Mori Kogoro said.
Today, Kogoro Mori is away, and Conan has developed a new excuse.
At this time, Qin Zhibo, who was standing next to him, looked calm and said tentatively: "I'm just saying it's a possibility."
"Could this so-called 'Chou Si Lang' turn himself in?"
