Conan's grammatical investigator

Chapter 137 The Encounter Before the Shrine
Koizumi Hongzi looked at the magic charms drawn by Qin Zhibo in surprise, each one reached the point where it could be used directly after being endowed with magic power.

It must be known that Hongzi Koizumi spent three full days drawing the 40 magic talismans to the point where they were all usable.

Making magic props can test the talent of a magician to a certain extent, and Qin Zhibo's talent can be said to be
So good it exploded!

This can't help but make Koizumi Hongzi full of joy, after all, Qin Zhibo has already eaten his heart-capturing chocolate, and now it is equivalent to his own property.

When Qin Zhibo grows up to the level of a great magician in the future, wouldn't he be the most prestigious witch who owns a great magician as his property?

In the entire history of the Red Magic family, there has not even been a great magician!

Thinking of this, Hongzi Koizumi couldn't help laughing like a silver bell.

"Oh ho ho ho ho—"

In the next few days, Qin Zhibo was either doing daily tasks such as cheating investigation and finding pets, or studying the magic book given by Hongzi Koizumi in the office.

It seems that the social credit has reached a certain critical point, and Qin Zhibo, who now has 2530 social credit, has been able to receive some daily commissions one after another.

In these daily commissions, Qin Zhibo can also use some basic spells taught by Hongzi Koizumi.

Such as the object-finding spell.

The Finding Spell, as the name suggests, is a spell that can find lost items, including living things and non-living things.

The method of use is very simple, imagine the appearance of the lost item in the brain, and then recite the spell silently.

Every time you release the Finding Charm, you need to consume 1 point of magic power, and you can get the general direction of the object you are looking for at the current location.

Of course, this incantation is not tried and tested, and it is possible to make mistakes.

For example, the impression of the lost item is not clear, the lost item is too common or too rare in life, and the lost item is too far away.
These situations are likely to lead to the search for other similar things or the failure of the search.

Out of curiosity, Qin Zhibo also tried to imagine the appearance of MI-GO in his brain, and then used the object-finding spell.

The result really got a direction.

Not far in this direction, Qin Zhibo found cooked and frozen lobster in a freezer in a supermarket.
Including the kobolds, Qin Zhibo also got a vague direction in his brain after using the object-finding 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 chances of success is to hold a photo of an item, or a hair of a creature.

With the help of the object-finding spell, Qin Zhibo was able to find lost pets with ease, and his efficiency was surprisingly high.

In addition, the Maori detectives of the nearby Maori Detective Agency often shirk the small commission of finding lost pets for various reasons.

This led to Qin Zhibo's reputation as a "little pet-seeking expert" slowly spreading in the nearby neighborhoods.

It's just that Qin Zhibo's magic power is also consumed extremely quickly after entrusting too many tasks.

So when he went to Koizumi Hongzi's house to learn magic on his rest day, it was also Qin Zhibo's time to "replenish his magic".

Find various opportunities to use the magic power extractor to touch Koizumi Hongko's magic props, or touch Koizumi Hongko herself, or even simply stay in the magic-filled Witch's House, all of which can achieve the effect of "replenishing magic".

After one trip, Qin Zhibo could get almost 40 points of magic power.

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

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

So in order for the magic power extractor to continue to function, learning magic is also necessary.

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

Although the Nine Angels organization may not be detrimental to Koizumi Hongzi, it is still somewhat risky.

This is equivalent to Qin Zhibo exchanging the 50 remuneration promised by the Nine Angels for the opportunity to learn magic.

It fits so well!

But from a long-term perspective, Qin Zhibo, who has no magic power, can't rely too much on magic, otherwise it will be equivalent to relying too much on Koizumi Hongzi's magic replenishment.

Losing Koizumi Hongzi is equivalent to losing one's own magic replenishment channel.

Qin Zhibo asked Koizumi Hongzi if there were any other witches in Japan.

Koizumi Hongko's answer is that Japan is too big, so I don't know, but she must be the only witch in Tokyo.

But there are no witches, but there are women with magical powers.

It's just that such a woman is rare, and it's extremely difficult to find. Qin Zhibo's current way of replenishing his demons can only rely on Koizumi Hongzi.

Fortunately, Koizumi Hongzi's magic power will not decline permanently, it will recover after sleeping like physical strength.

Therefore, the possibility of Koizumi Hongzi being "drained" by Qin Zhibo does not exist.

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

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

"No need to send it, you can go back."

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

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

"Um"

On weekdays, Koizumi Hongzi, who is proud and queenly, can actually make a soft voice like a little girl
Before sunset, the extended Maybach parked in front of a low mountain in Tokyo.

Through the map of the navigator, Qin Zhibo knew that this was the Mihua Shrine.

Koizumi Hongzi got off the car and walked up the mountain, Qin Zhibo also followed with a little interest.

"I didn't expect that your majestic witch would actually believe in Japanese shrines?"

"Hey! Who said witches have to believe in weird things." Koizumi Hongzi's eyes were a little sad, "Those summoned objects of evil gods are just tools to achieve their goals, and they cannot be regarded as beliefs."

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

Koizumi Hongzi didn't finish her sentence, but it could be seen that Koizumi Hongzi's mother, whom she hardly mentioned, should be heading west on a crane.

After walking for a long time, the stone monument of Mihua Shrine stood in front of me.

Before he could completely stand under the highest torii gate, Qin Zhibo heard a series of complaining voices from the top of the mountain.

"Hey Hey hey!"

"It's because you said that Yoko Okino will be in the scene today, so I rushed here specially!"

"I turned down a big commission just to see Miss Yoko's live performance! But you said that Miss Yoko couldn't come because of something?"

The angry voice sounded familiar for some reason.

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

The people on the other side were also surprised when they saw Qin Zhibo's side.

"Mr. Qin!"

Koizumi Hongzi standing beside Qin Zhibo looked at Mao Lilan standing in the open space in front of the shrine in surprise.

"Student Nakamori?"
