"curse?"

Everyone present was stunned, why did this fake Qin Zhibo still play the trick of the man in red with long hair?

"Tch, if you don't want to watch it, don't watch it."

"Anyway, I, Kogoro Mouri, can solve the case on my own without any need for reminders from others."

Mouri Kogoro calmly took back his hand to tear open the envelope.

Curse kills people, of course Mouri Kogoro doesn't believe it.

But not believing it doesn’t mean you don’t hate it.

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

Being cursed for no reason will always make you feel a little uncomfortable.

And is there anything worth adopting from a fake person’s advice?

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

"Police Officer Yamamura, I'll leave the letter with you for safekeeping."

"For the sake of my reputation, Kogoro Mori, I must find the real murderer before 11:30!"

Yamamura Cao took the envelope and gave a standard salute, "Yes!"

On the other hand, Conan on the side rolled his eyes and said helplessly: Hey, don't make random guarantees, you are not the one responsible for reasoning!

With the "provocation" of the impostor, Kogoro Mori personally went into battle to check the alibi.

Conan ran over and stopped the hotel owner, raised his head and asked, "Um, Uncle Qin, did he say where he was going?"

"No," the hotel owner shook his head, "I was driving towards the forest anyway."

Conan frowned, feeling that things were not simple.

This fake Qin Zhibo left an envelope and then went into the forest in the middle of the night. It was 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 gives Conan an unusual feeling.

The counterfeiter could tell it was a homicide at first sight, was keenly aware of the hair problem, and deliberately left an envelope identifying the real culprit.

Compared with this fake Qin Zhibo, the real Kogoro Mori 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 the face is indeed not Qin Zhibo's, and this cannot be changed by makeup.

Secondly, it was not the first time that Qin Zhibo collided with Maori and his group. There was no need to pretend to be Qin Zhibo to hide his true identity.

No matter what, I must find the real culprit before 11:30!

Conan encouraged himself in his heart, not only to protect Mouri Kogoro's reputation, but also to give himself a chance.

Otherwise, if the news about their loss to the fake Qin Zhibo reaches my ears, it will really make me laugh out loud.

Thinking of this, Conan was about to take action when he noticed something was wrong.

If the counterfeit Qin Zhibo has written down the answer now, then as long as the opponent accurately hits the real murderer, wouldn't he have lost anyway?

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."

"Really?" the hotel owner pondered for a moment, "There's nothing we can do about it. Maybe they changed their minds temporarily."

"Young people today can easily change their minds."

In the forest of Tou Shen, Qin Zhibo was driving slowly forward in a rented Mazda 323.

Wearing white gloves on his hands, he looked very elegant, like a family butler.

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

According to the instructions of the magic extractor, Kinoshita Tomonori is now somewhere in the Togami Forest.

In order not to miss the moment of Kinoshita Tomonori's crime, Qin Zhibo could only leave Aoiya Hotel in advance to prevent being detained by Mouri Kogoro and others.

In the hotel just now, whether I deduced or not deduced the truth of the case, I would be kept and questioned carefully because of the fake identity.

In this case, it is better to escape before the police force arrives.

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 doesn't solve the case on time, he only needs to open the envelope and see the murderer's name to understand everything.

If Conan accepts his help to solve the case, he will receive the reward of the side mission.

As for the restriction that it cannot be opened before 11:30, Qin Zhibo does not want the detectives and police to solve the case too early and go into the forest to look for him.

Although the curse was not convincing, Qin Zhibo expected that with Mouri Kogoro's self-esteem, he would definitely not tear open the "tip bag" left by the impostor.

According to the "Famous Detective's Bug" left in the lobby of the Aoi House Hotel, things were just as Qin Zhibo predicted.

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

I turned on the navigator and checked the directions, then got out of the car and trudged for several kilometers through the terrifying forest where no sunlight was visible.

The tall and lush tree crowns almost blocked all the moonlight, making the forest extremely dark.

The dark bushes and endless woods combine to create a depressing and terrifying atmosphere.

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

According to legend, there is a plague god in the forest of the head god that can cause headaches.

Anyone who suffers from frequent headaches will be immediately fascinated by the headache once they enter the depths of the forest and will never be able to leave the forest again.

Because no one knows its appearance, the elderly in Gunma County generally believe that the head god is a god lurking deep underground.

The Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva lying on the ground at the edge of the forest of the head god is called "Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva falling forward", which is used to suppress the plague god below.

In modern times, although legends are no longer popular, the inaccessibility of this place has attracted people who are disillusioned with life, and it has become a famous suicide holy place.

The legend of the head god and the holy place of suicide have combined to cast a mysterious and terrifying veil on this forest.

However, in the face of Qin Zhibo's 90% steel will, this kind of pediatric test cannot 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.

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

Kinoshita Tomonori's location is much further than Qin Zhibo imagined, almost in the center of the entire Tougami Forest.

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

Surrounded by ugly roots and misshapen trees, a muddy black swamp is revealed.

There are several tents in the dry area on the edge of the black swamp. The tents are of different colors and look very incongruous in this primitive place.

More importantly, these tents are not ownerless.

In the center of the black swamp is an ugly island covered in fungi.

The red firelight illuminated the bare island. Against the backdrop of the torches, Qin Zhibo could see some flickering human shadows.

One, two, three.

Qin Zhibo hid in the distance, used the telescope to carefully count, and found that there were 11 people.

They were standing together in some kind of formation, holding their torches high,

This number was somewhat beyond Qin Zhibo's imagination. He originally thought that three or four core members of this cult would be quite large.

As long as you record the evidence of these people's crimes, and then hand over their uniforms to the police, your plan will be completed.

But now that there are a lot of people, Qin Zhibo can only take a long-term approach and see what they are doing first.

Qin Zhibo quietly approached the edge of the black swamp, searched carefully, and found a dirt path leading to the central island.

At this time, the [Lord of the Rings] needs to come into play.

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

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

He carefully walked onto the dirt path. The soft dirt was a natural walking step, allowing Qin Zhibo to board the island where the secret ceremony was held with almost no sound.

On this island of more than a hundred square meters, eight people stood in a circle holding torches, wearing uniform purple shawls, and their faces covered with a semi-transparent veil.

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

He has artist-like wavy hair and is none other than Kinoshita Tomonori.

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

Judging from the casual vests worn by the two of them, they were probably visiting nearby and were kidnapped here by this group of Voodoo believers.
