Conan's grammatical investigator

Chapter 168 Another mysterious and mythical book?
When everyone's topic shifted to vampires, the first thing Qin Zhibo thought of was the kobolds he met back then.

Although the legendary vampires suck blood, kobolds eat human corpses and even attack living people, the similarity between the two is not 100%.

But in the long history, some legends will change after being fabricated by later generations.

Just like MI-GO has evolved into a monk-like foggy dog, the victim who was attacked by a great existence in a blizzard day has evolved into a glamorous and unparalleled snow woman
In this world, rural legends may not exist completely in vain, but they have been changed due to the evolution of time and speculation that ordinary people cannot understand.

So Qin Zhibo subconsciously dismissed Conan's statement that he completely denied the existence of "vampire".

"Won't."

When Conan heard Qin Zhibo's answer, he realized that he had found the wrong foreign aid.

In the previous contact, Qin Zhibo seemed to believe in those gods and ghosts.

That's not detective at all!

And Shuichi Hamura, who was sitting opposite, looked at Qin Zhibo with interest, and agreed politely: "Actually, I am also inclined to the view that vampires exist."

"Just judging from the historical documents and materials left over from now, it is difficult to support this view."

"Teacher Hu Cang is an authority on vampire research. He has collected a lot of ancient documents. It is for these documents that I often come here to bother."

Ancient documents!
When Qin Zhibo heard this keyword in his ears, he immediately became interested.

"Can I go and see those documents?"

Seeing that Qin Zhibo was actually interested in the ancient documents here, Shuichi Hamura showed a happy expression on his face when he met a "fellow man".

"Of course, I think Mr. Hu Cang won't mind, right?"

Saying that, Hamura Hideo glanced at Toshiya Tasho next to him, as if he could enter the library with the consent of the student Toshiya Tasho.

Standing aside, Toshiya Tiansuo nodded with a blank expression, and said, "It should be fine, but the teacher himself doesn't often read those ancient documents."

"Because most of those documents are in foreign languages, the teacher can't understand them very well"

"Moreover, compared to text, the teacher believes that strong pictures and real objects are more able to stimulate inspiration and creative desire."

Under the leadership of Toshiya Tasho, all the people who were playing cards around the table just now came to the library in the basement of the villa.

"This library contains vampire literature from all over the world, as well as various related ancient documents."

"The teacher called it the 'vampire library'."

In this space of about ten square meters, two rows of antique bookshelves are filled with books.

The books on one of the bookshelves are relatively modern from the spine, and they are obviously vampire literature collected by Daisuke Torakura.

Looking at the many books in front of him, Mao Lilan couldn't help expressing emotion.

"It's really amazing, there are so many."

Ma Shengshi in front of the bookshelf took out a book at random, and was about to flip through it when he was startled by the cover.

The cover of this book is filled with a lot of bright yellow, and the scarlet font lines are located in a small area on the top of the cover.

Just the large area and extremely pure yellow color scared Ma Chengshi so much that he let go of his hands, and the books fell to the ground.

Fortunately, Yu Cunxiu, who was next to him, caught the book quickly with a quick glance, and smiled to prove the value of the popular science book for Ma Cheng.

"This "Desura" is the first edition in 1897. It is a treasure in the vampire literature world. It should be the only one in Japan. It would be bad if it falls on the ground."

After listening to Hamura Shuichi's introduction, Conan felt a "wow" in his heart.

Fortunately, this precious first edition book did not fall to the ground, otherwise Dr. Cheng Shi would have to pay a lot of money.

However, Aso, who had almost caused a catastrophe, did not respond to Shuichi Hamura's words at all, and stared blankly at the void in front of him.

Qin Zhibo who was at the side noticed that there was something wrong with Ma Chengshi's eyes, and quickly patted Ma Chengshi on the shoulder to call his mind back from the inspiration.

"What's wrong?" Qin Zhibo whispered in Ma Chengshi's ear.

Asahi crossed his arms and clasped his arms, trembling as if he had just returned from a very cold place: "I seem to have seen a book slowly opened in front of me just now."

"A yellow book."

Qin Zhibo, who knew what Ma Sheng might be afraid of: pornographic books?

Conan who was standing by and eavesdropping: A dirty book?
It happened that Mao Lilan only heard the second half of the sentence: Yellow H book?
Toshiya Tasho took Aso, who was not feeling well, to rest in the bedroom of the villa, and Shuichi Hamura then introduced it to everyone.

"In addition to the precious first edition of "Dresura" just now, "Interview with the Vampire", "Vampire Lester", "The Vampire Queen", and "The Story of the Corpse Thief" are also available here."

"As long as you can think of vampire literature, you can find it here."

Hamura Shuichi mainly introduced it to Qin Zhibo, because Qin Zhibo just expressed the view that vampires may exist, and he is considered a like-minded person to him.

However, Qin Zhibo was not interested in the fabrications of these descendants.

Bypassing the first bookshelf, Qin Zhibo came to the second bookshelf.

The spines of the books on this shelf are obviously older.

And Qin Zhibo's eyes only glanced roughly, and he saw the investigation point on one of the spines of the books.

I knew it!

Qin Zhibo quickly stepped forward and pulled out the book from the shelf.

When he first got started, Qin Zhibo felt the full weight of this book.

It is bound in dark leather, and on the right is an iron book buckle with a faint layer of rust on it, as if telling the age of the book.

At a glance, Qin Zhibo was somewhat familiar with the words hot-stamped on the dark leather, but he couldn't figure out what it meant.
