Conan's grammatical investigator

Chapter 488 As a Mature Investigator, Learn to Investigate by Yourself
Conan turned his head and saw in surprise that four of the five red-robed men behind him fainted, and one fell to the ground sobbing in pain.

Kuchiki Feiyan's ability to resist blows is relatively strong, or because of the angle of the kick, he didn't faint from the pain immediately after being kicked by Qin Zhibo, and wanted to reach out to pick up the pistol that fell on the ground.

Qin Zhibo walked to the front like a villain on TV, and kicked the pistol away, making him completely lose the idea of ​​​​resisting others, and his eyes lost the brilliance.

The loss of this highlight is not due to anything else, but the height of the burning fire tornado gradually decreased, and finally turned into an ordinary fire scene.

"This"

"How, how could it be?"

Kuchiki Feiyan muttered to himself like a dementia, repeating words of disbelief.

The police siren sounded in his ears, and Qin Zhibo didn't bother to do anything to Kuchimu Feiyan anymore. He walked to the side of the young detective team and untied the ropes on the five little ones one by one.

"Uncle Qin, how do you know we're here?"

Conan was a little puzzled about Qin Zhibo who suddenly appeared here.

Qin Zhibo glanced at the little ones standing behind, showed a friendly smile, and gave the answer in a natural tone.

"Because I know you will give it for nothing."

Conan: "."

The police arrived soon, took over everything at the scene, and took away five red-robed men and an arsonist who looked like a slovenly tramp.

In front of the police, of course, Qin Zhibo couldn't say that he knew that the Detective Boys would pay them for nothing, so he used children as traps for criminals.
This is too bad for wind reviews.

So Qin Zhibo explained to Sato Miwako: "Because the arsonist's previous arson sites are connected to form a pentagram, the last arson site should logically be in the middle of the pentagram."

"The entire Shinagawa area, that is, this soon-to-be-abandoned warehouse area is very suitable for ignition, and it is not easy to be discovered."

Miwako Sato nodded suddenly and accepted Qin Zhibo's explanation.

Hui Yuanai next to him took out the map in his pocket, redrawn it according to what Qin Zhibo said, and it turned out to be the five endpoints of the pentagram.

So it's not fire, but ☆
It's right to think about it, what they said was a spell made of strange language, and it was more tonality to match it with the most commonly used pentagram symbol in mysticism.

just
Haibara Ai looked at Conan subconsciously, and Conan also knew what Haibara Ai was thinking.

Could it be that the fire tornado that shot straight into the sky was really caused by magic?
but
But
Both Conan and Haibara Ai had conflicts in their hearts, especially Conan, who had seen two unscientific incidents before.

For the first time, I saw the corpse of some kind of pink fungus creature in the river and stream under the mountain of Wutiangou Temple.

But when he called someone, those corpses disappeared again.

The second time, in the underground secret passage of the Blue Castle, the skeleton of the old lady in the palace was floating in the air, chasing the prisoner who killed her in the secret passage.

Still only myself who was tied up in the secret passage saw that scene.

The reasons for these two incidents have not been found by Conan so far, but this time, Conan has some clues.

Those arsonists were caught by the police, and the police will definitely interrogate them for the reason for setting the fire.

And I also heard the word "Cthugha", so I can investigate what it is after I go back.
Looking at Conan with a calm face, Qin Zhibo knew that he would not let it go.

Qin Zhibo didn't mind Conan investigating these matters, but he would not take the initiative to tell Conan the clues or truth about these matters.

When you come into contact with the other side of the world, it means that you have transformed from detective to investigator.

And as a mature investigator, learn to investigate by yourself
The police brought Qin Zhibo and the five members of the Boy Detective Team to the Metropolitan Police Department to take notes, while Koizumi Hongzi withdrew before the police arrived and was not caught.

Otherwise, Koizumi Hongzi's red clothes and red hair will inevitably be taken away by the police for questioning.

The recording process in the warning hall went smoothly. Everyone is a regular visitor and is familiar with the process.

After the transcript was completed, everyone went home.

But Conan suddenly acted coquettishly at Mao Lilan who came to lead him, and the other three little ones were quite frightened by her coquettish voice.

"Sister Xiaolan! Let me play video games at Dr. Ali's house!"

"O-ne-ga-y-"

"Da-baa!"

This time, Mao Lilan was not moved by Conan, and said with a slightly sullen expression: "You have just experienced this kind of thing, how can you still have the energy to play video games?"

Seeing Mao Lilan's tough attitude, Conan quickly gave Dr. Ali a look and applied for foreign aid.

As the highly respected Dr. A Li joined the battlefield, he understood reason and was moved by emotion, and then he persuaded Mao Lilan to let Conan play video games all night, so as to soothe the traumatized soul of the child.

In this way, Dr. Ali took Conan and Hui Yuanai home, leaving Mao Lilan alone.

And Qin Zhibo didn't participate in the whole thing.

Because when he just walked out of the Metropolitan Police Department building, Qin Zhibo's mobile phone received a call from the other side of the ocean.

When he came to Dr. Ali's house, Conan hungrily turned on the computer and searched for information about Cthugya on the web.

But in this era when the Internet resources were not so abundant, there was only one search result related to Cthugha, which was on a knowledge search website called "Noah's Ark".

"Ah, it turned out to be Noah's Ark. I also use this website often."

When it comes to "Noah's Ark", Dr. Ali talks about it with eloquence.

"This website is currently the only think tank website in the world. Although it has only been established for two years, it has already created more than 1000 million knowledge entries, and it is still updating at a terrifying rate of 1.5 entries per day."

"What's even more frightening is that this think tank seems to be running on an artificial intelligence called 'Noah's Ark', which does not require manual editing at all."

"Whoever made this program is a genius"

The "ordinary" Dr. Li sighed with emotion about other people's genius ability in inventions and creations, but Conan was not interested in topics such as these computer programs and inventive geniuses.

Opening Cthugha's entry, Conan saw the relevant introduction.

Cthugha, one of the old gods, symbolizes the existence of fire.

Also known as: Living Flame, it is said that it lives in Fomalhaut.
There are not many introductions about Cthugha, but Conan probably understands that this should be an existence similar to "Vulcan" and "Sun God" in most myths and legends.

Just like the widespread Chinese mythology, Nordic mythology, Greek mythology, and Egyptian mythology. Every ancient civilization with a long history will give birth to an ancient mythology in the long history.

These myths have been longed for by humans in ancient times, and even in modern times, many people are happy to praise them.

On the Noah's Ark website, existences similar to Cthugha are collectively classified as "old myths".
