"Well, can we go now? He won't be gone soon, will he?"
"Don't worry. Although he was implicated innocently, his willingness to accept this illicit transaction is itself against the rules, so he will be educated in another detention room for the next few days."
Zhixing followed behind Inspector Megure and took a few deep breaths slowly.
After all, the paper shop might do something to let Mr. He Zhong down next, so he had to repeat his reasons in his mind so as not to be unable to do it.
After leaving the current building and walking to the side for a while, Inspector Megure pushed open the door and told the officer in charge of the detention room that there was something else he needed to confirm with Mr. Kawakami.
So after a while, He Zhong, who had just learned his residence for the next few days, was brought over by the police with an uneasy look on his face and sent to a small room for conversation.
"What...what happened?"
He Zhong only took a glance and recognized the paper merchant following Inspector Megure. After all, it was his report to the police that got him into the police station.
The appearance of Zhixing made Hezhong, who originally thought he was only going to be educated in the detention center for a few days, feel very uneasy, as if he would hear some bad news from Zhixing.
Sure enough, after Inspector Megure explained that the reason he came here was because Mr. Kamijou next to him had something to say to him, He Zhong became even more nervous.
After receiving the right to speak, Zhixing looked at He Zhong, who had removed his disguise and only resembled the victim in terms of body shape and beard. The first words he said were:
"Do you believe in magic?"
"Magic?"
“It’s not the magic tricks that a magician performs on stage, but real magic.”
He Zhong looked at Inspector Megure who also didn't understand what Zhi Xing wanted to say, and could only respond carefully:
"In that kind of thing, does it matter whether you believe it or not? What exactly do you want to ask?"
Zhi Xing smiled, then took a deep breath again before saying:
"This is very important. It's so important that it determines how many days you can survive."
"Kamijo-kun, what do you mean by this?"
Inspector Megure, who was listening on the side, tried to ask, but Paper Line quickly interrupted Inspector Megure's question:
"I'm confirming it now. I'll tell you the rest later. Don't forget that this is the condition you agreed to."
"I" He Zhong wanted to say that he didn't believe it, but he had to swallow the words back. After all, He Zhong still remembered the strange arresting movements of the police when they arrested Zhi Xing, and Zhi Xing didn't look strong, so two police officers should be enough to subdue him.
"I believe, I believe there is magic, and then what?"
"Since you believe in magic, it will be much easier."
After Zhixing had prepared himself mentally, he spoke:
"As a 500 million dollar insurance fraud, your information cannot be kept secret. It will definitely be known to the victim's family."
"And you are not like the murderer who has been sent to prison to receive the punishment you deserve. Just a few days of education will not satisfy your family."
"Once you leave the police station, it won't take more than a few days for something life-threatening to happen to you."
"And now there is only one way to save you, and that is to rely on the power of magic."
He Zhong shook his head, still puzzled:
"I still don't quite understand. What kind of magic are you talking about? Is there anything I need to do?"
"It's very simple. You just need to recall what you were thinking after I called the police. You don't have to say it out loud. Then I will make the magic take effect."
"Just need to recall?"
"Yes, hurry up."
He Zhong recalled his thoughts doubtfully.
Since it happened not long ago, the impression left by He Zhong was still quite deep, so he quickly got into the mood.
“I remember I was…”
He Zhong just thought about it briefly and couldn't help feeling a chill all over his body. He was about to use the excuse of just being detained for a few days to refute his own idea, but he couldn't stop thinking. Instead, the situation became more and more serious.
As expected, the Witch's Kiss came from me. At such a close distance, an ordinary person would not be able to control his emotions.
Zhixing looked at the pretender opposite him who just recalled his previous thoughts and then began to hold his head in deep thought, so he looked at the other person's neck.
Soon, Zhi Xing saw the Witch's Kiss growing out of nothing on Mr. Kawakami's neck.
After glancing at Inspector Megure and finding no reaction, Zhi Xing waited until the Witch's Kiss faded, and then he asked:
"How do you feel now?"
"I'm fine. I feel better than I've ever felt."
Mr. He Zhong seemed to have gotten rid of his desperate thoughts and responded to Zhihang's questions with a smile on his face.
Zhixing nodded, then turned to Officer Megure and said:
"Please keep him in a solitary cell from now on, don't provide him with anything that could lead to suicide, and have someone watch him until you bring in that person."
Inspector Megure looked at the paper in confusion and asked:
"What happened?"
"Well, I've already cursed it. Hearing is deceiving, seeing is believing. Officer Megure, you only need to look at his subsequent behavior to know that magic actually exists."
"I still don't understand what you're talking about."
"Inspector Megure, the reason you don't believe I came from the future is simply because you lack evidence and you believe deep down that such a thing is impossible."
"So what I want to tell you is that the reason I can travel back in time is the result of a combination of science and magic."
"And she is the way I chose to prove to you that magic exists."
Zhixing said this, took a piece of paper and pen from the table beside him, and wrote a sentence.
"If you want to lift the curse, go to Ekoda High School and announce to the entire school: Someone in the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department has been cursed by a witch, and they need the witch's help to lift the curse."
Chapter 142 Do you want to play prediction too?
Koizumi Akako, a high school student who can use magic, appears in "Magic Kaito", another work that is linked to "Detective Conan".
Logically speaking, since it is a character from another work, it should not be taken into consideration.
But there is a connection between the two. Kaito Kidd, the incarnation of Magic Kaito, will be involved in Conan's cases, and even the Twilight Villa that the Paper Walker has been thinking about, also has Kidd's participation.
Therefore, although Kabuki's goal is to come to Conan's world, he also hopes that Kaito Kid will appear.
To do this, the paper company must know Koizumi Hongzi's situation.
In today's live-action world, there is no magician named Hongzi, and there are only pure reasoning cases in Conan's story.
There is still a magical worldview, a world where both anime can exist at the same time.
Zhi Xing looked at the imposter who had begun to be affected by the Witch's Kiss and was behaving abnormally, and was being controlled by the police, and could only apologize in his heart:
I'm sorry, it's clearly my business, but I'm gambling with your life.
However, I've seen it happen. Although it didn't fully form in your body, the power of the Witch's Kiss did enter your soul. Rather than letting it happen accidentally later, it's better to let it erupt now. I can even help you manage some relationships.
"Hey, Mr. He Zhong, what's going on?"
Inspector Megure and the police officer who came in from outside held down Kawase, who was practicing Iron Head Kung Fu with the corner of the table, and then shouted at the culprit, Zhi Xing:
"I brought you to see Mr. Kawanaka just to have a chat and to apologize for my previous suspicion. What do you mean by doing this, Kamijou Touma?"
"Although the other party's curse was caused by me, strictly speaking, I didn't cast it. It was because the other party didn't pay attention that they were infected with my curse. They were already infected when you arrived."
"What are you saying? Are you telling me that you can't get rid of this state in the river?"
Inspector Megure never expected that by agreeing to the other party's conditions, he would put himself in a passive situation.
"From what I understand, the only way to save him and save me at the same time is to find the person I mentioned."
"Do you understand what you're doing? You're harming an innocent person right in front of the police, and you're threatening them with their lives to help you. I don't know if you're talking about magic or not. I just want to know, did you intentionally harm He Zhong?"
Zhi Xing was silent for a moment, then nodded and said:
"Yes, I know exactly what I'm doing, but there's nothing I can do. My two previous better conditions were not approved, so I had no choice but to resort to this last resort."
The commotion on Megure's side attracted more police officers, so Megure quickly escaped. Seeing four or five people trapped in the river, he barely stopped moving. He then started talking about something that sounded wrong, such as a beautiful world. He approached Zhixing and asked seriously:
"Kamijo-kun, can I still trust you?"
"Yes, I always tell the truth."
"Do you remember what you promised me?"
"Remember, you brought me to see this gentleman, and I told you something I didn't mention at first, magic."
Inspector Megure glanced at the quieted Kawasaki behind him, and according to the instructions of the paper, he had the police take him to a separate room and contact a nearby hospital to prepare a diagnosis of Kawasaki's condition. Then he turned around and continued to ask questions:
"The magic you're talking about, is this the curse that caused the river to become like this?"
"As you know, there's definitely more magic than just curses. Even though they're rare, they're more powerful than you think."
Zhi Xing used his limited magical knowledge to deceive Inspector Megure, who had no concept of magic at all:
"Although I'm not someone who can use magic, I've been around people who can for a long time, so I can say that going back in time is impossible with science, and magic is equally difficult to achieve."
"But when the two came together, I came into this era as a subject for experimentation."
Inspector Megure really didn't want to believe this outrageous background, but Zhixing had emphasized it many times in front of Inspector Megure, and now things that were impossible according to common sense were happening one after another in front of Inspector Megure.
It seemed that apart from the possibility mentioned by Zhixing, there was no other explanation. At least when Inspector Megure tried to organize his words to refute, he failed to speak successfully several times. In the end, he could only ask:
"What experiment do you mean?"
"Rewrite history, change history, and see what kind of time paradox it will lead to."
"Then you should have changed history. Look at what's happening in the river. Is that the reaction that would have occurred in history?"
Zhi Xing looked at Inspector Megure's angry expression and said with some embarrassment:
"As long as time travel is successful, changes are bound to occur. This is normal. They can be as small as taking a breath, eating an extra bowl of rice, or making an extra transaction. They can also be as big as affecting financial crises or even the situation on a battlefield."
"Were you also responsible for the previous financial crisis?"
"No, no, no, I won't take the blame. Rather, the experiment I'm about to conduct is the basis for whether to cause or prevent it from happening: changing the fate of some influential and prestigious people to see if there will be any unknown effects. Although I have many options, I ultimately chose to verify the possibility of changing the future by ending the murder case."
Inspector Megure's expression eased a little. If it came to this purpose, the Paper Company could be considered the preferred party, but this could not cover up the current evil deeds.
"If that's the case, then why don't you just list the names of the murderers and arrest those who attempted to commit the crime? Why is the list of the dead recorded?"
Seeing that Inspector Megure finally mentioned the death list, Zhixing said the answer he had been thinking about these days:
"That's to prevent me from focusing on the original murderer and ignoring other suspects with the same motive. So I don't know who the culprit is in every case. After all, my goal is not to catch the murderer, but to keep the victim alive."
"If you don't intend to reveal the murderer, how do you plan to protect him?"
"Then I'll have to talk to each victim and come up with an impromptu plan to protect them."
Zhihang shook his head helplessly. He had spent all his time on preparation and had not seriously thought about how to ask for money if he really communicated with the victim.
In Zhixing's original idea, he should be able to carry the prophecies of continuous hits so that he can arbitrarily obtain the other party's wealth as a reward, and then make the other party actively cooperate with him and do things to change his destiny.
However, after learning that he had a familiar and that the familiar was gradually evolving into a witch, Zhixing had no choice but to give up the idea of approaching the victim and the murderer.
If the crime scene over there were to appear, and the familiar successfully transformed into a witch, it would be a real threat to the safety of the paper bank.
Although it is still unsafe now, after all, even if the familiar can only use brute force, it is not something ordinary people can contend with.
The topic ended without an answer. After Inspector Megure confirmed that Kawakami was just an uninformed passerby in this case, he asked Kazuyuki to return to his room and then went to the hospital to see how much damage he had caused to Kawakami because of his wrong decision.
"Then you will come, right? Even if you haven't transferred yet, you can still receive this broadcast, right?"
After Zhixing returned to the detention room, he was no longer as confident as he was in front of Inspector Megure, but was thinking with a nervous look on his face.
"Although Kaito Kid was probably created before Conan, in the anime, Conan often appears on set as an elementary school student, and as a member of the Junior Detective Team."
"Given that Kid only appears in the middle to late stages of the series, the story of Magic Kaito is probably still far from over. Kaito probably hasn't even discovered that his father is Kaito Kid yet, so there's no plot where Anko transfers to the school to find Kaito Kid."
"But there's nothing I can do. I can't find any other coordinates. Apart from that school, I have no other means of notifying them."
"Now we can only take a gamble. With Xiaolan's sixth sense, the kind that can sense telepathy from a distance."
Zhi Xing folded his hands and prayed:
"Whether it's the magical girl Hongzi, the witch Hongzi, or whether it attracts other magical girls, someone should come. But don't broadcast it to the whole school as a police officer. This news is not even gossip. At least Hongzi's housekeeper should collect it as intelligence."
Just as Zhihang was praying, there was a sound of knocking on the window, which attracted Zhihang's attention.
Zhixing looked out the window intently, but it was not Koizumi Hongzi who suddenly appeared, but it could also be said that it was related to Hongzi.
Zhixing stood up, walked to the window, and looked at the box floating in the air.
