Conan Rick's Investigator

For example, the memory of the lost item is unclear, the lost item is too common or too rare in life, or the lost item is too far away...

These situations may lead to finding other similar things or even failure of the search.

Out of curiosity, Qin Zhibo also tried to imagine what MI-GO looked like in his mind and then used the locating spell.

The result was a real direction.

Not far in this direction, Qin Zhibo found cooked frozen lobsters in a freezer in a supermarket...

Including the dog-headed man, Qin Zhibo also got a vague direction in his mind after using the locating spell, and followed the direction to find a bull terrier raised by someone else.

It seems that there are not as many magical creatures as imagined...

Therefore, a way to increase your success rate is to hold a photo of the object, or a hair of the creature.

With the help of the locating spell, Qin Zhibo was able to find his lost pet with ease and surprisingly high efficiency.

In addition, the great detective Maori from the nearby Maori Detective Agency often shirks small commissions like finding lost pets with various excuses.

This led to Qin Zhibo's reputation as a "little expert in finding pets" gradually spreading in the nearby neighborhoods.

However, as the number of commissions increased, Qin Zhibo's magic power was consumed very quickly.

So when Qin Zhibo goes to Koizumi Hongzi's house to learn magic on weekends, it is also his time to "replenish his magic".

Finding various opportunities to use the magic extractor to touch Koizumi Hongzi's magic props, or to touch Koizumi Hongzi herself, or even simply staying in the witch's house filled with magic, can achieve the effect of "replenishing magic".

After one trip, Qin Zhibo can gain about 40 points of magic power.

In fact, this is also one of the reasons why Qin Zhibo suggested to Koizumi Hongzi to learn magic.

Because if you simply extract magic without using magic, the magic extractor that can store up to 100 points of magic will soon be full and lose its function.

Therefore, if you want the magic extractor to continue to work, learning magic is also necessary.

Therefore, although Qin Zhibo had obtained detailed information about Koizumi Hongzi, he did not provide this information to the Nine Angels.

Although the Nine Angels Organization may not necessarily be detrimental to Koizumi Akako, there are still some risks.

This is equivalent to Qin Zhibo using the 50 yuan reward promised by the Nine Angels in exchange for the opportunity to learn magic.

It’s so suitable!

However, from a long-term perspective, Qin Zhibo, who has no magic power himself, cannot rely too much on magic, otherwise it would be equivalent to relying too much on Koizumi Hongzi's magic replenishment.

Losing Koizumi Hongzi is equivalent to losing his own channel for replenishing magic.

Qin Zhibo had inquired indirectly from Koizumi Hongzi whether there were other witches in Japan.

Koizumi Akako's answer was that Japan is too big, so she is not sure, but she is definitely the only witch in Tokyo.

However, there are no witches, but there may be women with magical powers.

However, such a woman is one in a million and extremely difficult to find. Qin Zhibo's current way of replenishing his magic power can only rely on Koizumi Hongzi.

Fortunately, Koizumi Akako's magic power will not drop permanently, and will recover after sleep like her physical strength.

Therefore, there is no possibility that Koizumi Akako will be "squeezed dry" by Qin Zhibo.

……

On this day, Qin Zhibo studied at the Witch's House until the afternoon as usual, and prepared to take the butler's car back to Tokyo.

As a result, when he got in the car, Qin Zhibo found that Koizumi Hongzi had also come out.

"No need to send me off, just go back."

Qin Zhibo, who was sitting in the car, waved back, but Koizumi Hongzi ignored him and walked over and opened the car door.

The housekeeper sitting in the driver's seat glanced at Koizumi Hongzi behind him and asked, "Lord Hongzi, are you going there?"

"Um……"

Koizumi Hongzi, who usually has a high and mighty air and a queen-like demeanor, can now make a soft voice like a little girl...

Before sunset, the stretched Maybach stopped in front of a low hill in Tokyo.

Through the map on the navigation system, Qin Zhibo knew that this was the Rice Flower Shrine.

As soon as Koizumi Hongzi got out of the car, she walked up the mountain, and Qin Zhibo followed with a little interest.

"I didn't expect that a witch like you would actually believe in Japanese shrines?"

"Hey! Who says witches have to believe in weird things?" Koizumi Hongzi's eyes darkened. "Those evil spirit summons are just tools to achieve their goals, not beliefs."

"If you believe in them, you will be like your mother..."

Koizumi Akako didn't finish her words, but it was obvious that her mother, whom she hardly mentioned, must have passed away.

After walking for a while, the stone tablet of the Beika Shrine stood in front of us.

Before he even stood under the highest torii gate, Qin Zhibo heard a series of complaints coming from the top of the mountain.

"Hey Hey hey!"

"You told me that there would be a scene with Yoko Okino today, so I came all the way here!"

"I even turned down a big commission just to see Ms. Yoko's live performance! And you said Ms. Yoko couldn't come because of something?"

This angry voice sounded familiar for some reason.

Walking up the stairs, Qin Zhibo saw those familiar people.

The people on the opposite side were also surprised when they saw Qin Zhibo.

"Mr. Qin!"

Koizumi Hongzi, who was standing next to Qin Zhibo, looked at Mao Lilan standing in the open space in front of the shrine in surprise.

"Nakamori-san?"

Chapter 137 The victim is Yoko Okino?

As far as Qin Zhibo could see, he saw the familiar Maori family standing in the open space in front of the Beika Shrine.

In the video, Kogoro Mouri was arguing with a man with a beer belly and wearing a director's suit. The complaining sounds just now were made by Kogoro Mouri.

Judging from the layout of the surrounding area, it seems that something is being filmed in front of the Rice Flower Shrine.

Qin Zhibo also saw the occupations of these people in his field of vision, which also proved that this was a film and television shooting set.

At this time, Kogoro Mouri was unaware of Qin Zhibo's arrival and was still arguing with the director.

"Where the hell is Miss Yoko?! I won't leave until I see Miss Yoko today!"

"But Okino Yoko had something to do and couldn't come at the last minute. I just found out about it..."

"What's going on? Is he the harasser again?"

Maori Kogoro suddenly put on a handsome face and said righteously: "If that's the case, as Miss Yoko's guardian knight, it is my duty to do so!"

The director shook his head: "Well...her agent didn't tell me, so I don't know either."

"Okino Yoko! My Miss Yoko!"

Kogoro Mouri knelt on the ground and wailed, like a childish child passing by a shop window, wanting his favorite toy but unable to get it.

Looking at Kogoro Mouri like this, Qin Zhibo really wanted to ask Ran Mouri a question.

May I ask how long your father has been like this?

However, Mao Lilan had long been accustomed to her father's stupid behavior when chasing stars, and she just felt a little embarrassed at the moment.

So, Mao Lilan secretly kicked Mao Li Kogoro and asked Qin Zhibo with a polite but slightly awkward smile: "Excuse me, who is this?"

Qin Zhibo glanced at Koizumi Hongzi next to him, and just as he was about to introduce himself, Koizumi Hongzi actually took the initiative to introduce herself.

"My name is Koizumi Hongzi, hello."

"Hello, Miss Koizumi. My name is Mao Lilan. Thank you for your guidance."

Mao Lilan did not realize that Koizumi Hongzi was a high school student of the same age as her.

It’s not that Koizumi Akako looks old, but that Akako’s daily outfits are more mature, and her temperament is also queen-like.

Ran Mouri's smile was kind and natural, but Koizumi Akako was not looking at her face at all. Instead, she was staring at the top of her head.

The next moment, Koizumi Hongzi did something that no one expected.

Koizumi Akako raised her hand and touched the "horns" on Maoli Ran's head with her fingertips.

呲~

A bit prickly...

"Excuse me, where did you buy your hairspray? It holds hair so well?"

Mao Lilan was a little embarrassed, but still replied with a smile, "This is innate..."

There was a hint of regret in Koizumi Hongzi's eyes.

Because the family hairstyle of the Red Magic Clan is a fluffy Shamatte style, but my hair is a bit soft, so after growing it longer, it can only be long, soft straight hair, which is not fluffy and distinctive enough.

So Koizumi Akako needs a hairspray that can tame her soft hair.

As for the girl in front of her who looked very similar to Nakamori Aoko, Koizumi Akako was sure that she was definitely not Nakamori Aoko.

Nakamori's hairstyle is definitely not so "exaggerated".

At this time, Conan, who had been observing from a low position for a long time, also began to speak.

Conan, who was a little naughty at heart but still managed to keep a childlike look, looked up and said, "Uncle Qin, where is the beautiful sister you were with last time?"

"That's Doctor Cheng Shi..."

Scumbag! Sinai!

Just when Conan put on an innocent look and was ready to watch Qin Zhibo's crime being exposed, he found that Koizumi Akako didn't care about his "report" at all.

Not only that, this actually brought about Qin Zhibo's revenge.

Qin Zhibo walked up to Conan, and while praising him with a smile, "This kid has a really good memory," he ruffled Conan's carefully styled hair.

……

While people in the open space were communicating in small groups, the work area on the other side of the set was also not peaceful.

“You actually stood me up!?”

"She just skipped the filming because she was a little famous, had a good singing voice, and looked cute."

"You know, a handsome guy like me has precious time too!"

The pretty boy actor who had already had blood plasma smeared on his body complained with dissatisfaction.

The stagehand named Mamegaki Taeko and assistant director Shimazaki Yuji immediately came to calm the actors' emotions.

But despite the two of them trying to persuade him kindly, the actor named Nachi Shingo still refused to give in, saying things like Okino Yoko was putting on airs and would be in trouble sooner or later.

Hearing someone saying bad things about Yoko Okino, Kogoro Mori, as Yoko Okino's guardian knight, naturally rushed over and started arguing with the pretty boy actor.

On this side, Mao Lilan quickly ran to stop her father, while Qin Zhibo followed Koizumi Hongzi to the shrine to worship.

Inside the shrine, the old abbot greeted Koizumi Akako familiarly.

"Hongzi, are you here to pay your respects again?"

"Yes."

Koizumi Hongzi bowed respectfully to the old abbot in a rare gesture, and then went to the worship hall with the housekeeper to go through the entire process of visiting the shrine.

As for Qin Zhibo, he was not interested in the worship at all, but was quite interested in what was happening in front of the shrine.

After all, this is where the Maori family appeared, and the atmosphere is full of tension now, so it is hard to imagine that nothing will happen.

So Qin Zhibo wanted to understand what the situation was so that he could be mentally prepared in advance.

Qin Zhibo learned what had happened from the shrine's abbot, who looked like the art museum director.

It turned out that this was a crew filming a crime TV series.

Since his granddaughter worked as a production manager in the crew, the old abbot lent them the Beika Shrine as a filming location.

According to today's shooting plan, a scene between Yoko Okino and this pretty boy actor should be filmed in front of the Beika Shrine.
