"curse?"

Everyone present was stunned, how could this fake Qin Zhibo still play the trick of the man in red with long hair.

"Cut, don't watch if you don't look at it"

"Anyway, I, Mori Kogoro, can solve the case by my own ability, and I don't need anyone's reminder at all."

Mori Kogoro shyly withdrew his hand that was about to tear open the envelope.

Of course Kogoro Mori didn't believe in cursing to kill people.

But not believing doesn't mean not hating.

It's like a haunted house. Most people think that there are no ghosts in this world, but they won't buy a house where a murder has happened.

Being cursed by someone for no reason always makes me feel a little nervous.

And a counterfeit suggestion, is there anything worth adopting?

If the famous detective Mori Kogoro opened other people's "tips" in public, he would be at a disadvantage.

"Officer Mountain Village, I will keep the letter with you."

"With my reputation as Mori Kogoro, we must find out the real culprit before 11:30!"

Yamamura took the envelope and saluted standardly, "Yes!"

On the other hand, Conan rolled his eyes and said helplessly in his heart: Hey, don't make any promises, it's not you who is in charge of reasoning!

With the "provocation" of the counterfeit goods, Mori Kogoro personally went to battle to check the alibi.

Conan ran over to stop the hotel owner, raised his head and asked, "That. Uncle Qin, did he say where he was going?"

"No." The hotel owner shook his head, "Anyway, he drove towards the forest."

Conan frowned, feeling that things were not that simple.

This fake Qin Zhibo left an envelope, and then went into the forest by himself in the middle of the night, which is really suspicious.

However, it is also possible that he knew that his fake identity would be exposed sooner or later, so he left first.

It's just that this fake Qin Zhibo always gave Conan an unusual feeling.

The counterfeit could tell it was a homicide at first glance, and was keenly aware of the hair problem, and deliberately left an envelope explaining the real murderer.

Compared with this fake Qin Zhibo, the real Mori Kogoro looks like a fake.

He can't be real, can he?
As soon as this idea came up, Conan shook his head and got rid of this unrealistic idea.

First of all, he can be sure that that face is indeed not Qin Zhibo, which cannot be changed by makeup.

Secondly, it was not the first time that Qin Zhibo and Mao Li's group collided with a car. There was no need to pretend to be Qin Zhibo to hide his true identity.

In any case, I must find the real culprit before 11:30!

Conan worked hard in his heart, not only to protect Kogoro Mori's reputation, but also to win for himself.

Otherwise, if news of their loss to the fake Qin Zhibo reaches the deity's ears, they will really laugh out loud.

Thinking of this, Conan was about to act when he sensed something was wrong.

If the fake Qin Zhibo had already written down the answer now, as long as the opponent accurately hit the real culprit, wouldn't he have already lost no matter what?

This.
Forget it, believe first, then question.

As soon as Conan left, a hotel employee ran to the hotel owner and reported: "The two ladies who booked the room on the second floor the day before yesterday have not come to the hotel yet."

...

"Is that so?" The hotel owner pondered for a while, "That can't be helped, maybe they changed their minds temporarily."

"Young people nowadays can easily change their minds."

In the Toushen Forest, Qin Zhibo was slowly driving a rented Mazda 323.

His hands were dressed in white gloves and looked elegant, like a family butler.

But in fact, this is the magic power extractor, and it is also Qin Zhibo's GPS for this trip.

According to the instructions of the magic power extractor, Kinoshita Tomosei is somewhere in the Toujin Forest.

In order not to miss the moment when Tomono Kinoshita committed a crime, Qin Zhibo had to leave the Aoi House Hotel in advance to prevent being detained by Mori Kogoro and others.

In the hotel just now, no matter whether I reasoned or not reasoned out the truth of the case, I would be left behind for careful questioning because of my fake identity.

That being the case, it would be better to slip away before the arrival of the police force.

However, in order not to miss the reward of the side mission, Qin Zhibo also left the envelope with the murderer's name in the hotel.

If Conan didn't untie the eucalyptus on time, just open the envelope and see the murderer's name to understand everything.

If Conan accepts his help to solve the case, he will be rewarded with side missions.

As for the restriction that it can't be opened before 11:30, Qin Zhibo doesn't want the detectives and police to solve the case too early and go into the forest to find himself.

Although the curse is not convincing, but Qin Zhibo is sure that with Mori Kogoro's self-esteem, he will definitely not tear open the "tip bag" left by the counterfeit.

According to the [Detective's Bug] left in the lobby of the Aoi House Hotel, things happened exactly as Qin Zhibo predicted.

Following the guidance of the object-finding spell, Qin Zhibo drove the car to the impassable road, parked the car in the grass by the side of the road, and walked instead.

Turned on the navigator to look at the direction, then got out of the car, and trekked for several kilometers in the dark and terrifying forest.

The tall and lush canopy covered almost all the moonlight, making the forest extremely dark.

The gloomy bushes and the endless woods combined to form a depressing and dreary atmosphere.

Even if there are no ferocious beasts in this forest, few people are brave enough to take a woodland walk in the middle of the night.

According to legend, there exists a plague god that can cause headaches in the Head God Forest.

Anyone who suffers from frequent headaches will be fascinated by the head god once they enter the depths of the forest, and they will never be able to get out of the forest.

Because no one knows what it looks like, the elderly in Qunma County generally believe that the head god is a kind of god lurking deep underground.

The Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva who fell to the ground at the edge of the God Forest is called "Front-falling Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva", which is used to suppress the plague god below.

In modern times, although legends and such are no longer prevalent, the inaccessibility here has been favored by those who are disheartened in life, and has become a famous suicide sanctuary.

The legend of the head god and the holy place of suicide have united to cover this forest with a mysterious and terrifying veil.

But in front of Qin Zhibo's 90% steel will, this kind of pediatric test can't be regarded as a test.

The occasional "surprise" is that Qin Zhibo will indeed see some remnants of human camping in the forest, such as a dilapidated tent or the like.

...

It is estimated that the owners of these tents have already passed away.

Kinoshita Tomosei's location is much farther than Qin Zhibo imagined, almost in the center of the entire Toujin Forest.

Qin Zhibo trekked for nearly an hour before finally seeing the target.

Surrounded by ugly roots and misshapen trees, a muddy black swamp was exposed.

There are several tents in the dry area at the edge of the black swamp. The colors of the tents are different, which is very incongruous in this place full of primitive atmosphere.

More importantly, these tents are not unoccupied.

In the heart of the Black Swamp lies an ugly island of fungus.

The red torch light illuminated the bare island, and against the backdrop of the torch, Qin Zhibo could see some flickering human shadows.

One, two, three.
Qin Zhibo hid in the distance, and counted carefully with a telescope, and found a total of 11 people.

They were standing together at this moment, holding their torches aloft in some sort of procession,
This number is somewhat beyond Qin Zhibo's imagination. He originally thought that this pagan religion has three or four core members, which is quite a lot.

As long as I record the evidence of these people's crimes and hand them over to the police, my plan will be completed.

But now there are a lot of people, Qin Zhibo can only think about it in the long run, and see what they are doing first.

Qin Zhibo quietly approached the edge of the black swamp, walked cautiously, and found a dirt path leading to the small island in the center.

At this time, [Lord of the Rings] needs to play a role.

Qin Zhibo took out the magic ring from the item bar and put it on the ring finger of his right hand.

The moment the golden ring caught his finger, Qin Zhibo's body became invisible.

He walked carefully on the dirt path, the soft dirt was a natural quiet step, allowing Qin Zhibo to land on the small island where the secret ceremony was held almost without making a sound.

On this island with a size of more than [-] square meters, eight people stood in a circle holding torches, wearing uniform purple shawls, and covering their faces with a half-transparent mask.

Surrounding the eight people were two other men holding torches and a familiar face.

He has artist-like wavy hair and is Tomonorio Kinoshita.

In front of Kinoshita Tomounori, there were two women sitting on the ground with their hands and feet bound, and their mouths were also tied.

Judging from the casual camisole of the two, they should have come to play nearby, and were kidnapped here by this group of voodoo believers.

The two women couldn't make a sound, but their eyes were full of pitiful pleading, begging to let them go.

Tomoko Kinoshita took a step forward, looked at the two women coldly, and said calmly, "I have no enmity with you."

"But for the rebirth of Japan, you must sacrifice."

"Only by turning you into rainwater can we make Japan look brand new!"

Tomoki Kinoshita raised his arms and shouted, which immediately attracted wild screams from the surrounding believers, like the unique sound of some kind of wild beast.

They held up the torches and set off waves of noise in the originally silent forest, and things immediately became creepy.

Qin Zhibo came back to his senses, quickly took out the video recorder he had prepared in his arms, and started recording.

...

Due to the characteristic of the Lord of the Rings, all the objects held by Qin Zhibo will enter the invisible state together, so the video recorder will also be invisible together.

Qin Zhibo held the video recorder, like a war photographer, and began to walk and record among Voodoo believers.

Because of his artistic and craft (photography) skills, Qin Zhibo often chooses tricky angles, pursuing not only the sense of picture, but also the pursuit of showing complete information.

Take a close-up of Tomono Kinoshita's face
Holding the video recorder, Qin Zhibo walked quietly to a place two meters away from Kinoshita Tomosan, squatted down slightly, and pointed the camera at Kinoshita Tomosei's face.

Zoom in, close up.
Tomono Kinoshita's face was not obstructed at all, and he was the person Qin Zhibo mainly wanted to deal with, so he had to be photographed clearly.

Then take a close-up of the victim.
Qin Zhibo adjusted the video camera and pointed the camera at the two victims, expressing the victims' pity and helplessness from a condescending perspective.

There are other villains holding torches and screaming, and everyone must be arranged for the picture.

With the blessing of photography technology, anyone watching this video will feel the horror of the atmosphere, the hatefulness of the perpetrator and the helplessness of the victim.

Qin Zhibo was shooting with a video camera, while Kinoshita Tomo looked up at the sky.

Black clouds drifted past, the bright white moonlight reappeared on the earth, and the black swamp shimmered for a while, so unrealistic.

"It's almost time."

"Untie it."

Kinoshita Tomoza gave an order, and two men holding torches leaned forward and untied the two women.

The moment they untied their mouths, the two immediately wailed and begged for mercy.

However, Tomoki Kinoshita was unmoved and ordered his subordinates to control people.

"Your sacrifice will not be in vain"

"Call it! Cry it!"

"No one will pay attention to you even if you scream your throat, but it will only attract the baron to come to you, smelling the fear of the miserable."

Tomoki Kinoshita gestured with his eyes, and the two men next to him immediately took out their knives, as if they were about to do something.

Now, the two women screamed louder because of fear.

At the same time, other believers who covered their faces with masks also began to cry out in the same way, and the hoarse voice even surpassed the caller himself.

In the midst of this chaos, Kinoshita raised his arms and sang disturbing words amidst dancing firelight and wailing.

"Wake up, guide at the crossroads!"

"Lord of the dead tomb, Baron Baron Samedi! Wake up!"

"Here is a sacrifice for you, and a gift for your rest, please come to this forest!"

"A breeder of evil thoughts from the heart! A breeder of evil thoughts from the heart!"

"I curse you!"

"I want you to fall into a smoking saucepan, I want black snakes to bite you on the heel, be stung by wasps while kneeling, and be fed by bedbugs at night!"

"Baron Samedi, please respond to your faithful followers!"

"Here! Destroy their old enemy!"

...

As Tomoza Kinoshita read these words, the movements in his hands gradually became exaggerated.

With a tambourine in his hand, he danced amidst the endless wailing, and the torches in the hands of the believers also flickered.

The shouts of roaring and screaming seemed to come from the abyss, and spread in the forest of the head god under the moonlight.

The rampage and carnival like primitive animals brought the ceremony to its peak.

Holding the video recorder in his hand, Qin Zhibo watched the indescribable sacrificial ceremony in front of him, and also felt some indescribable changes in the surrounding atmosphere.

There was a gust of wind in the woods, and the leaves rustled, as if something was surging.

Turning his head and looking around, a strange mist was seeping from the bushes beside the black swamp.

Qin Zhibo clearly remembered the scene depicted in "The Secret of the Worm". When the fog gathers in the cemetery, Baron Samedi will come out of the fog.

Kinoshita Tomosei seems to be really successful!

The Toushen Forest is known as a suicide holy place, and it is simply a natural large cemetery.

Now, Qin Zhibo panicked.

Although I am now in a state of invisibility, is invisibility really useful for a supernatural existence like Baron Samedi?

Thinking of the unpleasant "fight" last time, Qin Zhibo didn't want to see the baron again.

How to do?
We can only stop the ceremony immediately.
Just as Qin Zhibo put away the video recorder and was about to start, a commotion broke out among the believers.

One believer suddenly raised the torch in his hand, turned around and smashed it on the body of another believer.

In an instant, sparks overflowed!
