Conan's grammatical investigator

Chapter 679 The long-lost side mission

Seeing the "X" symbols all over the wall in the photo, Conan's eyes lit up immediately.

What does it mean to encounter so many "X"s here?

really want to know
Conan looked at Kinoshita Tomounori who was not far away, and the only one who could explain the contents of the photo was him as the photographer.

But right now, I can't go directly to Kinoshita Tomonoria to explain "X" to myself, because Mao Lilan is still beside me.

If Mao Lilan had also heard the meaning of "X", she wouldn't have called to ask herself.

There is no "most important X" as a gift without calling and asking yourself!

No, Mao Lilan must not know about this!

Seeing that Qin Zhibo and his party were about to stroll here, Conan, who was a scheming frog, rushed to meet him.

"Sister Xiaolan, I have a sudden urgency to urinate! Can you take me to the toilet in the mall?"

Suzuki Sonoko was a little puzzled, and said, "Conan, don't you usually go to the toilet by yourself? Why did you let Xiaolan follow you this time?"

Suzuki Sonoko confessed in Conan's heart, I want you to talk more!

Conan usually finds excuses to go to the bathroom, just to get away to investigate the case, of course he won't follow Mao Lilan.

Mao Lilan looked at Conan's distorted expression that caused bladder pain, with a pair of calves sandwiched, and a pitiful appearance, and immediately took Conan's little hand lovingly.

"It's okay, Sonoko, I'll just take Conan to the bathroom, everyone, let's continue shopping."

In this way, Mao Lilan left with Conan, while Qin Zhibo looked at the two people who had a long way to go, with a little expectation in his eyes.

After the two left, the rest of the people continued to visit the photography exhibition, and as expected, they ended up on that photo.

Looking at the "X" symbols all over the wall, Judy and Sonoko were stunned at the same time.

"Eh? Teacher Judy, isn't this X?"

"Yes!"

The two looked closely at the photo, and found that the X symbol on the wall photo was of different sizes and colors, and there were flowers and pearl necklaces hanging on it.

"Mr. Kinoshita, what does this photo mean?"

Sonoko turned around, pointed at the photo, and asked Kinoshita Tomonoria who was walking behind.

At this time, Kinoshita Tomo was thinking about the "Immortal Old Qin" and was called by Sonoko. Then he came back to his senses, went to the photo, and explained.

"This is the wall of the tomb of the voodoo queen Marie Lavaux. People will write 'XXX' symbols on it to make wishes. It is said that the soul of Marie Lavaux will help these people realize their wishes."

"Oh!" Teacher Judy's eyes lit up, "X stands for kiss, these praying people want to kiss this dead Miss Mary in this way."

"It's a pity. If Mao Li saw this picture, maybe he could figure out the meaning of 'X'."

When Qin Zhibo heard this, he also understood why Conan asked himself the meaning of "X".

It turned out to be a kiss, but I thought it was that.
But the result is still the same, Conan just wants to be seductive!

As long as it is astringent, be firm!

"Vodoo?" Suzuki Sonoko looked puzzled, "It sounds like "voodoo" in Chinese characters, it sounds a little dangerous."

Tomoki Kinoshita frowned, and was about to explain, but standing beside Qin Zhibo, he didn't dare to show any position, so he could only explain plainly: "Vodou is a sect in West Africa, and there are still many Africans Consider it a matter of faith.”

At this time, Qin Zhibo suddenly interjected.

"how about you?"

Qin Zhibo's words seemed unintentional, but Kinoshita Tomo was startled, and looked at Qin Zhibo with dilated pupils, "Me?"

"Yes, Mr. Kinoshita has been roaming in Africa for a long time? You must pay some 'roaming charges'?"

".I am a non-believer."

Tomoki Kinoshita shook his head slightly, feeling even more afraid of Qin Zhibo's identity as an "undead".

When they met for the first time, Kinoshita Tomosei still felt that Qin Zhibo didn't seem to notice him.

But now, the famous detective's words always seemed to have another meaning, which made him feel uncomfortable.

The key is that his own voodoo curse has nothing to do with him.

Amuro Toru and Judy on the side observed the conversation between Qin Zhibo and Kinoshita Tomonorio, and they also noticed that there was something wrong with the atmosphere.

No, when these two people came into contact with each other, they were not very normal.

Tomoki Kinoshita seemed to have done something wrong, and never dared to face Qin Zhibo.

what is it?

Are you owed money?

Just when everyone was thinking about it, the lights on the first floor of the entire shopping mall suddenly went out.

In the dark environment, several people made voices.

"power failure?"

"No way?"

"It should only be temporary, and the power will be restored later"

Less than half a minute after Amuro Toru's voice fell, the lights of the shopping mall turned on again.

"Phew, I was scared to death"

"That. Although I don't mind, if it affects you in any way, it's not good."

Amuro Toru's voice came, and Suzuki Sonoko realized that she subconsciously hugged Amuro Toru's arm.

Having had the scary experience of a power outage in a shopping mall before, Suzuki Sonoko already had a psychological shadow, and subconsciously sought some comfort.

"Ah! I'm sorry!" Suzuki Sonoko let go of his hand quickly.

"It's okay." Toru Amuro squinted and smiled, not caring, and at the same time peeked at a person outside the photography exhibition.

Since just now, that person has been secretly taking pictures at the entrance of the photography exhibition.

Who is this?

It seems that it is necessary to catch him and ask him later.
At this moment, Mao Lilan suddenly ran in from the entrance of the photography exhibition with a look of horror.

"Mr. Qin! Something happened!"

"Someone died in the elevator!"

Everyone's expression changed upon hearing this.

"what!"

Qin Zhibo had an even more anxious expression on his face, and ran straight up, "Take me there!"

In fact, what Qin Zhibo thought in his heart was that Conan really lived up to his expectations.

Going to the toilet can kill a person, as expected of you!

Everyone hurriedly followed Mao Lilan to the escalator in the mall.

I saw a man in a brown leather jacket sitting on the edge of the elevator, his body swaying along the elevator stairs, like sitting on a rocking chair.

His lower body was sitting cross-legged, his upper body was holding a yellow file bag, a large amount of blood spattered from his abdomen, and a bloody kitchen knife was placed at his feet.

Under the double identification of the investigation point on the head and the "declaration of death" Conan, he can no longer recover.

Qin Zhibo also approached and began to investigate.
