Daily life of a spy in the world of Conan

"5,000 for a hotel room, 10,000 for a night's stay. Which one would you like, young lady?"

"..."

"I am the heir of the red magic of the Koizumi family. I came here to retrieve the Mist Tengu mask that our Koizumi family left here."

Koizumi Hongzi stood up and walked to the shrine, pointing at the red Mist Tengu mask in front of her and said, "This is what we agreed with the first abbot of Shanni Temple. After two decades, the Mist Tengu mask will be returned to its original owner."

Kuan Nian's face changed, he glanced at the door and found that the host had not arrived yet.

"I'm sorry, I can't make the decision on this. I don't know the origin of the Mist Tengu mask. This matter needs to be decided by Master Tianyong."

Kuannian nodded to Xiachuan embarrassedly, then left in a hurry to find his master.

It's so embarrassing. I just told the legend of this mask and then someone came over claiming to be the owner of the mask.

The creditor turned out to be Koizumi Akako? If that's the case, then... there won't be any changes in this case...

Xia Chuan frowned in deep thought, his eyes fixed on Koizumi Hongzi with no intention of moving away. It was not until Yoel stepped on him that he came to his senses.

"Sorry." Yoel nodded apologetically to Koizumi Hongzi, then glared at Xiachuan.

Whether it is impolite or not is another matter, but staring at other girls in front of your girlfriend is very annoying.

He is eating from the bowl but still looking at the pot. Is Xia Chuan a scumbag?

Koizumi Hongzi shook her head, stared at Xiachuan curiously for two seconds and said, "It's okay."

She looked at the other people at the scene.

There are six people in the group, except Kogoro Mouri who was left in the room to sleep, everyone else is here.

Koizumi Hongzi looked at all five of them carefully for a long time.

Then, Koizumi Hongzi, who originally regarded this place as her home, suddenly frowned and restrained her arrogance.

Each and every one of these guys is not simple!

She couldn't see through the couple at all. Just now, she wanted to use the red magic to enchant her eyes to see through their true nature, but the man's soul power was too strong.

Even with the blessing of red magic, I couldn't even see through his heart to his true nature.

The woman was even more terrifying. There was an extremely strong murderous aura wrapped around her. A shadow in a black dress rose from behind her and suddenly raised his eyes to look at her. That look made her, the only heir to the Red Magic, feel a little creepy.

Then came the two little kids.

She thought the child would be better, but under the blessing of red magic, the little boy disappeared completely in front of her eyes! It was outrageous!

Magic has no effect on this little boy!!!

And there was a problem with that little girl too. She only looked at the other person for two seconds, and not only did she not see clearly what the other person was, she actually felt like someone was seeing through her heart.

What kind of monsters are these!

The only one who's easy to bully here seems to be the girl with spiky bangs, but her mind is now full of Mist Tengu, so...it's quite abnormal.

Have I disturbed the demon's lair?

Even Lucifer isn't that scary.

Koizumi Hongzi regretted that she was in a hurry to go out today and didn’t do some divination first. Now it seemed like something bad was going to happen.

Chapter 127 Want to Learn Magic

The people in the Buddhist hall were silent, but this atmosphere did not last long.

Soon, Monk Tianyong hurried into the hall.

Monk Tianyong's eyes were much sharper than before at the door, and his expression was gloomy, as if his ancestral grave had been dug up.

But it's almost the same. Now someone wants to take away the Mist Tengu mask. This is really not much different from digging up his ancestors' graves.

"Miss, are you the one who said you wanted to take away the treasure of our Shanni Temple - the Mist Tengu Mask?" Monk Tianyong was very impolite in his words, with a strong hostility on his face.

it is as expected.

Xia Chuan knew that it was impossible for the host Tianyong, who had worked as a hotel manager or studied hotel management, to return the mask.

This thing is the guarantee of incense for the villagers to worship at Shanni Temple. If it is taken away by Koizumi Hongzi, the incense in the temple may be epically weakened.

With the reduction in income, Shanni Temple, which was already struggling to make ends meet, would certainly not be able to withstand such a blow.

Given Monk Tenyong's personality, it was impossible for him to agree to the request made by Koizumi Akako.

Xiachuan had no intention of stepping forward to help Koizumi Hongzi to reason. He also wanted to take this opportunity to see if Koizumi Hongzi really knew magic.

In Magic Kaito, Koizumi Akako doesn't appear much, but her performance is really outrageous!

Magic is not only unscientific, it's not even scientific!

"What is the most precious treasure of your Shanni Temple?"

Koizumi Hongzi was stunned for a moment, then she covered her mouth and laughed out loud "Ahhhhhhhhhh."

"Master, are you getting a little too proud of yourself? The construction of the Mist Tengu Mask and even the entire Sanni Temple was all done with a lot of help from our Koizumi family. Are you planning to turn your back on us now?"

"I'm sorry, the previous host did not convey this to me. So, this is just your one-sided statement, and there is no evidence at all."

"Are you sure you don't want to return the Mist Tengu Mask to me?"

Monk Tianyong nodded confidently, as if he had already decided on the little girl in front of him who hadn't even grown all her hair yet.

He did know a little about the Koizumi family, and the Kiri Tengu mask and the Sanni Temple were indeed related to the Koizumi family.

But so what?

The person in charge of Shanni Temple now is Tianyong. He said that this did not happen. What can the little girl from Koizumi's family do?

This is a society ruled by law. Besides, all magic is just a lie.

Having been a host for decades, he must know whether there are ghosts in the world or not. Even the legend of Mist Tengu was just a means for him to spread it and make money.

"Since you insist so much, forget it."

Koizumi Hongzi raised her lips slightly, then tilted her head and spread her hands, saying, "But the host's face doesn't look good, so you have to pay attention to your safety recently."

"What do you mean?"

"Haha, this is just advice from a witch. If you return the Mist Tengu Mask to me, maybe I can reveal something to you."

"Humph! If this guest is staying at our hotel, we welcome him. If he is here for the Mist Tengu Mask, then you can leave now. We at Shanni Temple do not welcome arrogant people like you who talk without restraint!"

"Oh ho ho ho ho ho!"

Koizumi Hongzi covered her mouth and laughed so loudly that it even drowned out the sound of the waterfall hitting the boulders outside.

"Then I'll just stay here for one night. Maybe the host will have a different idea tomorrow."

Hey, if you can survive tonight!

Koizumi Hongzi sat down on the chair without saying a word. Her expression of watching a good show made Monk Tianyong extremely unhappy.

Xia Chuan let out a light exclamation, as if he had figured out what Koizumi Hongzi had just said.

Strange, does magic really exist? Did Koizumi Akako know that Tennage was about to die through magic like divination?

"Sister, aren't you cold wearing this?" Aniya stood next to Koizumi Hongzi at some point, poked Koizumi Hongzi's thigh with her eyes wide open, then looked up and stared at her seriously.

We are all girls. In such cold weather, why can I wear long sleeves and long pants while you can wear something that is almost like a bikini?

"I really want to learn the magic of not being afraid of the cold, Aniya! Can you teach me how to become a witch?"

Anya was overjoyed and thought that if she learned magic, it would definitely be helpful to her. She could fly into the sky and catch all the bad guys in the world!

At worst, becoming a witch will surely turn you into a super beauty like this sister.

"Look, sister." Anya pulled her pink hair: "My hair is pink, isn't it suitable for learning magic from my sister's family?"

Come on! Anya is really superstitious.

Conan propped his chin up and yawned, obviously not interested in this scene.

Koizumi Hongzi smacked her lips and said, "Being a witch is not a game for children to play house. It is a great profession. I am the only existing red magician in the world. Do you understand how difficult it is to become a witch?

Besides, magic in my family is passed down from generation to generation. Unfortunately, little sister, we have a rule that magic cannot be passed on to outsiders."

"I'm so sorry." Xia Chuan stepped forward and picked up Anya: "Children are ignorant and have caused you trouble."

"It's okay." Koizumi Hongzi laughed a few times and said, "After all, magic is something that attracts people."

dinner time.

Xiachuan and his group of six, together with the temple monks and Koizumi Hongzi, sat together in the front hall to eat.

When Kogoro Mouri heard about the meal, he sobered up immediately, which made people wonder whether he was really drunk or not.

During the meal, Koizumi Akako hardly spoke a word and never mentioned the Mist Tengu mask again.

Conan, on the other hand, was eager to make a move, and tried hard to inquire with several monks about the Mist Tengu murder case that happened a few years ago.

This might be Conan's unique ability, or maybe some people just can't control their mouths. Conan managed to find out some information indirectly.

I learned that the young monk who died in that meditation room two years ago was named Zhongnian, and there were some ambiguous reasons for his death.

“Mist Tengu killed someone? This is impossible. After Mist Tengu was killed by my ancestor, his remaining soul was sealed in the mask.

I just checked it, the mask didn't have any signs of magic leaking out, and Mist Tengu obviously didn't break the seal. Rather than blaming Mist Tengu, it's better to say that someone killed this monk named Zhongnian for some reason."

Koizumi Hongzi talked freely, glanced at the unhappy monk Tianyong and continued, "After being a witch for so many years, I have seen too many murderers who use demons and monsters as an excuse to kill people. Although these people are not monsters, their behavior of using any means to achieve their goals is no different from that of monsters.

Host Tianyong, do you think I am right?"

The atmosphere in the room suddenly became awkward. Everyone understood what Koizumi Akako meant. She seemed to suspect that Host Tianyong was the murderer.

"The police have already given a clear answer to the cause and reason of Zhongnian's death. You are not allowed to mention this matter again. Today's dinner ends here. You all should go back to your rooms and sleep immediately.

Dear guests, Shanni Temple is not peaceful at night, and wild animals often appear. If you don't want to be scared, you should go to bed as early as possible! "

Host Tianyong left the front hall with a gloomy face and did not respond to Koizumi Hongzi's question.

But Koizumi Akako didn't need to answer, perhaps she was just stating a fact.

Chapter 128 Shirley's Request

Several little monks returned to the room one after another.

Not long after, Xiunian, who had just entered the sect for less than a year, tiptoed out of the room and walked stealthily towards the room where Tianyong was the host.

Koizumi Akako's room is opposite to Natsukawa and his group's room.

However, she was not in her own room, but was chatting with Xiachuan and his six companions in Xiaolan's room.

Xiaolan is also a talented person. In half an hour, she has become friends with Koizumi Hongzi. They don't address each other as classmates, but... Hongzi-sama...

Xiachuan suspected that Xiaolan was trying so hard to make friends with others mainly because she wanted to ask them for something to protect herself.

"Master Hongzi, do you have any amulets to ward off evil spirits or ghosts in your red magic?"

Xiaolan looked around and felt a little embarrassed that her fear of monsters was known. She leaned over to whisper in Koizumi Hongzi's ear: "Is the legend of Mist Tengu true? Are there really monsters in this world? Can you give me a red magic amulet? I can buy it with money!"

A series of questions made Conan next to him very depressed. After so many years of talking, Xiaolan's problem still cannot be cured~

"If you believe it, it exists. If you don't believe it, it doesn't exist. But don't worry. I checked when I came here. There are no signs of monsters appearing in Shanni Temple in the short term."

Koizumi Hongzi said in a charlatan's tone: "Although I have never seen Mist Tengu, the Mist Tengu mask left by my ancestors is the best proof of its existence. There is also a demonic aura on the mask, which cannot be wrong.

However, there are also people who do not believe this. Some people only believe what they see with their own eyes and sneer at legends. Such people will suffer a great loss sooner or later. "

Koizumi Hongzi turned to look at Conan, pointed at his dead eyes and continued: "For example, little Conan, look at his expression. Not only does he not believe in the Mist Tengu, but there is also something between his eyebrows mocking you, Xiaolan, for being timid."

"I didn't!" Conan waved his hands.

Xiaolan's murderous aura instantly made his hair stand on end. Come on, I'm just here to watch the fun, okay? Why did this woman named Koizumi Hongzi involve me?

Koizumi Hongzi laughed a few more times, stroked her long hair and said, "But it doesn't matter. We witches have always been low-key and never care whether others believe it or not. When you meet them, you will know."

Koizumi Akako found that this kid named Edogawa Conan was very strange.

Although his red magic has no effect on Conan, he can feel a strong aura of death from Conan.

This deathly aura seemed to come from the underworld of hell. The strong and corrupt breath made one's legs tremble.

This guy is like the god of death walking on earth.

She had reason to suspect that the reason why Tianyong was so lifeless was probably because he was infected by Conan.

"Sister Xiaolan, the legend of Tengu is just something people made up.
