Conan's grammatical investigator

Chapter 606 Unscrupulous Detective

House for sale?

The agent hung up the phone, and Qin Zhibo was stunned.

The person on the third floor of the listed office is actually "myself"?
Before Qin Zhibo saw the sale information of this house at a nearby real estate agency, he thought that someone else was selling the third floor.

I called to inquire, and the agent said that the reason for the sale was that the landlord was going abroad recently, but I didn't expect to be talking about myself?
For a moment, Qin Zhibo didn't know whether it was good news or bad news.

The good news is that I don't need to spend the money I have saved so hard. No one will spend money to buy a house that belongs to them.

The bad news is that the living space I always wanted was originally my own, but I didn't know it.

Knowing that the third floor is also his own, what Qin Zhibo wants most now is to go back and have a look.

It can be regarded as an advance viewing.

……

After paying for the car repairs, Qin Zhibo hurried back to the office in a Ford Mustang convertible sports car.

The building where Zhibo Detective Agency is located is similar to Mao Li's office, and it is also a three-story building.

It's just that the first floor is a women's clothing store, Qin Zhibo can be sure that he is not the landlord of this floor.

The second floor is the detective office, and the third floor is always vacant, at least that's what Qin Zhibo thought.

Walking up the steps to the third floor, Qin Zhibo reached out and groped on the door frame because there was no carpet on the floor.

Sure enough, after some groping, I got a key.

The original owner's habit is to hide the key near the door after going out, and Qin Zhibo has already mastered this point.

It's just that this further proves that during this period of time, the third floor of the office that I have been thinking about seems to be far away, but in fact it is very close at hand.

Qin Zhibo used this key to unlock the door logically, pushed the door open a gap, and a faint musty smell came out.

With the door fully opened, a very simple living room was displayed in front of Qin Zhibo's eyes.

TV set, dusty coffee table, a chair... gone.

Besides, there are four other rooms, Qin Zhibo is going to check them one by one.

The first room was a bedroom. The bed in the bedroom was an empty plank with no bedding on it, and the wardrobe was completely empty.

Although this bedroom is at least twice as large as the bedroom downstairs, the original owner did not choose to live here.

Of course, it may also be the reason for selling the house, and the house was emptied in advance.

Qin Zhibo came to the second room again, opened the door and entered, it was a relatively clean toilet, and there were no personal items in it.

The third room, Qin Zhibo opened the door to enter, is also a bedroom, but smaller than the bedroom just now, and the size of the bedroom downstairs is the same.

Before reaching the last room, Qin Zhibo stretched out his hand to push the door, but the room was completely dark.

The thick and black curtains blocked the sunlight outside, but Qin Zhibo still saw through the thin light that there was no furniture in this room, and it seemed to be an empty room.

It's just that there seems to be some black lines on the wooden floor.

Qin Zhibo took out the nuclear lighter, and the steady flame made him see clearly.

On the wooden floor of this room, there is actually a huge ritual magic circle!
Qin Zhibo had received Koizumi Hongzi's basic magic teaching, and knew that this large formation drawn on a certain cross-section was a ritual magic formation.

Theoretically speaking, only people with magic power can use the magic circle, but the ritual magic circle is not required.

The principle of the ritual magic circle is to establish a connection between the caster and the caster. The requirement for this connection is that one of them is strong enough and has magic power, and the other party does not need to have magic power to cast the ritual magic circle.

Of course, the success rate is still higher if you have magic power.

It's just that this ritual magic circle is much more complicated than some of the magic circles Koizumi Hongzi has shown, full of obscure inscriptions and weird geometric figures.

They are written stroke by stroke with black paint, even for a person like Qin Zhibo who already has painting skills, it takes at least two days to draw such a standard and huge magic circle.

In the middle of the magic circle, there is a circular position similar to that of the caster. In the middle is a simple dagger with blood on the blade.

Qin Zhibo looked at the palm of his left hand, where there was a shallow scar.

In addition to the ritual magic circle, there are four piles of candles in the four corners of the room, as well as some papers scattered in various places in the room.

Qin Zhibo picked up one of the papers, and the black ink on it said:
"My eyes have seen that Kanaloa is rising in the Pacific Ocean. The sleepers are about to wake up, and the world is about to collapse!"

Picked up another piece of paper on which was written:

"Beyond time and space, turn the world around"

Picked up another piece of paper, on it was a bunch of irregular lines, I couldn't see any meaning.

Walking two steps forward, there is another piece of paper with a bunch of lines forming circles of different sizes, and I don't know what it means.

There are other papers, each with only one sentence recorded on them.

"I'm going crazy! He's going to drive me crazy!"

"It's her again, we meet in a dream, crazy fuck, even though I don't want to"

"The distant island of Hawaii, my hometown, but I will never go back."

"I have a hunch that as long as I appear on the sea, He will swallow me up."

"Damn! Nothing can stop him!"

"Before I completely lose my mind, I want to go back and have a look, even if it costs my life."

When the last piece of paper was picked up, Qin Zhibo could tell at a glance that it was not written by the original owner.

The paper quality of this paper is a piece of parchment, the surface of the paper is simple and simple, and the color of the ink on it is a bit dull due to the erosion of the years.

The painting on the paper is exactly the ritual magic circle drawn by the original owner on the ground, exactly.

Judging from the rough edges on the left side of the paper, the parchment appears to have been torn from a reading book.

Since there was only one piece of paper, Qin Zhibo couldn't determine the source of the thing, let alone use the "reading survey" function.

Lifting the black curtains, Qin Zhibo scanned the entire room again, making sure that this was the whole picture of the room.

A black ritual magic circle, a bloody dagger, paper, and a pile of candles.

For a while, Qin Zhibo felt that the content of information was a bit too much, so he returned to the relatively clean living room, wiped the dust on the coffee table with his hands, sat down on it, and thought about everything.

First of all, the original owner is really not a serious detective. Apart from helping the Nine Angels organization to collect antiquities, he also conducts some research on demons and heretics.

Secondly, the original owner seems to be troubled by some kind of spirit, and has been troubled by the existence of "Him", maybe it is "Kanaloa"? .

In the end, the original owner wanted to leave Japan and return to Hawaii.
