Conan's grammatical investigator

Chapter 22 The real supernatural event in the art museum
Hearing these words, Director Ochiai stopped to look back, and saw Qin Zhibo's eyes slightly open.

this young man.
Understand what I'm saying.

Director Ochiai just used the painting "Punishment of Heaven" as a metaphor to hint at his encounter and fate.

However, Qin Zhibo proposed a different understanding of this painting.

For this understanding, curator Ochiai paused for a long time, and then slowly gave an answer.

"Mr. Qin, maybe what you said is right."

"Actually, that painting was not originally called "Punishment of Heaven", but an unnamed painting. I named it "Punishment of Heaven" arbitrarily for the convenience of exhibition."

"So take what I said just now as my wishful thinking, let's just laugh it off."

Led by the police, curator Ochiai left slowly, leaving Kogoro Mori and others in a daze.

"What were the two of them talking about just now?"

"Maybe it's about the painting."

Conan pointed to "Punishment" in the center of the hell exhibition hall, and at the same time saw Mori Ran cowering behind Mori Kogoro.

Mao Lilan was very afraid of these ghosts and ghosts since she was a child, so Conan used her boyfriend power to comfort her: "Sister Xiaolan, it's just a painting."

"And the presence of 'walking armor' in the art gallery is probably just the result of the curator's uncle quietly rehearsing his killing techniques at night."

After listening to Conan's comfort, Mao Lilan smiled reluctantly and said, "I just feel that this exhibition hall is a bit gloomy, as if something unclean has haunted here."

Conan looked around, and all the headlights in the exhibition hall were turned on. Although it wasn't very bright due to the gloomy decoration of the exhibition hall, it wasn't too gloomy.

At this moment, a voice suddenly sounded from behind Mao Lilan.

"Little Lan."

"what!"

The ear-piercing screams echoed in the exhibition hall, startling the police officer Mumu who was standing behind Mao Lilan.

Officer Mu Mu was dumbfounded, and Mao Lilan quickly bowed and apologized to Officer Mu Mu.

Officer Meguro also coughed lightly, and said, "Xiao Lan, I just want to ask you, when will Brother Kudo come back?"

"The case of Sowa House and the roller coaster last time is still waiting for his statement."

Last time, in order not to delay Kudo Shinichi's date, Megure did not ask Kudo Shinichi to record a statement directly after the roller coaster murder case was resolved.

But what Mumu didn't expect was that from then on, Kudo Shinichi disappeared from the world, and no one was alive or dead.

"Actually, I don't know where Xinyi has gone, and he hasn't contacted me in the past few days."

"Oh, I see"

Police officer Mu Mu had an incredible expression on his face, wondering if he could consider posting a missing person notice or something after he went back.

After all, Kudo Shinichi is a well-known detective and crime killer, so he must have accumulated a lot of enemies.

Conan, who was standing next to the two of them, looked in Qin Zhibo's direction with guilt.

In Conan's cognition, Qin Zhibo can't reveal that he is Kudo Shinichi now, it's all because "rejuvenation" sounds too unscientific.

But if Qin Zhibo was allowed to inquire more information, with Qin Zhibo's strong reasoning ability, he would definitely be able to produce decisive evidence of "Conan = Kudo Shinichi".

After all, a great detective once said that if you exclude all impossible conclusions, then no matter how bizarre and unbelievable what remains, it must be an irrefutable fact.

So now Qin Zhibo must not be allowed to hear the details about Kudo Shinichi's disappearance.

Fortunately, when these conversations happened just now, Qin Zhibo was not standing by.

In Conan's sight, Qin Zhibo was staring at the painting called "Punishment of Heaven" alone in a daze.

In Qin Zhibo's field of vision, there is a bright investigation point on the painting "Punishment of Heaven".

Qin Zhibo can 100% confirm that this is not an investigation point that he missed, but just appeared suddenly.

It was when the curator Ochiai admitted that the title of the painting "Heaven's Punishment" was invented by himself.

How is this going?

At this time, not only the sudden appearance of the investigation point was very strange, but even the task interface in the system suddenly changed into another style of painting.

The original relatively modern translucent font on the task interface has become an ancient font similar to black lead printing.

What concerned Qin Zhibo the most was that the original side mission "Investigate the supernatural events in the art museum" became the main mission at some point.

Main task: Investigate the supernatural events in the Medieval Art Museum
Task requirements: no requirements
Task rewards: 1600 general skill proficiency, 120 social credit, 400 mysterious myth knowledge skill proficiency.

The content of the task is the same as the previous branch task, except that the previous branch task did not show that it was completed, but was directly replaced by the main task.

Could it be that the supernatural event at the Medieval Art Museum was not the curator Ochiai's practice of murder in the middle of the night?

Now the only thing Qin Zhibo could investigate was the painting "Punishment from Heaven", Qin Zhibo could only decide on this option in his mind.

【Investigation√】

【This is an anonymous painting by an unknown artist. The protagonist of the painting is a "demon" that transcends dimensions.】

[It comes from a dimension different from the human world, travels back and forth between universes, and will not stay on a certain planet for a long time]

[Although it has an observable appearance, due to its physical characteristics, it is not subject to any influence from the human world]

[When it leaves for other dimensions, it will take some items and creatures with it]

[It will use its claws to firmly grasp the items it wants to take away, and the items taken away by it will never appear again]

[Part of the name of this "demon" can be vaguely seen in the signature in the lower right corner]

【Dimensional】

After the investigation, Qin Zhibo felt a slight numbness in his scalp.

Strange knowledge added gif
Qin Zhibo stared at the ape-like or mummy-like "demon" on the painting, but various seemingly unrelated thoughts appeared in his brain.

Works of art that have suddenly disappeared from museums recently.
Kubota, who has a history of stealing art, pleads not guilty to theft
A "demon" that takes some items with you when you leave a world.
At the edge of Qin Zhibo's field of vision, dark green branches popped out at some point.

These twigs, wrinkled and wrinkled from lack of water, vaguely resemble the tentacles of some kind of creature.

It's just that this tentacle doesn't twitch randomly, but like a small heart hidden underneath, its dark green skin is doing ups and downs and reciprocating movements.

At the same time, in the will column of Qin Zhibo's character card, the number is continuously decreasing.

90
87
85
82
80
Every time the number decreases, these tentacle-like branches at the edge of Qin Zhibo's field of vision will move towards the center of Qin Zhibo's field of vision.

If the willpower drops to 0, I believe these branches will completely block Qin Zhibo's vision.

At this moment, a childish voice suddenly sounded, interrupting Qin Zhibo's random thoughts.

"uncle."

"what are you doing?"
