Chapter 967: Magic Circle and Case(1/2)
This short-haired woman named Lunzi yelled at everyone, showing no mercy even if there were outsiders.
"You have survived as a singer until now because of my composing talent..."
"Don't forget it!"
After saying that, the short-haired woman slammed the door angrily and left.
Qin Zhibo glanced at the three members of the band, but there was no murderous intent in his eyes, as if he had become accustomed to this matter.
This made him a little surprised that his expression management was actually pretty good.
At this time, the man with glasses explained in a low voice: "She lives in the room next door, and her temper has never been very good."
The flat-headed man spread his hands and added helplessly: "But our band has always relied on Renzi's music to survive, so we don't dare to resist~"
The girl with wavy ponytail crossed her arms and said, "We have to work too. If you want to continue to stay here, you can take a look around here."
Two of the three people walked out of the room, while Wavy Girl sorted out the books in the library.
Qin Zhibo suggested at this time that everyone go to the backyard to look at the window where the monster was peeping.
On the one hand, it is to see if the previous rumors are really related to any monsters.
On the other hand, I also have to give the murderer some room to show off.
…
Qin Zhibo, Conan, Mao Lilan, Yuanzi, and Hondo Yingyou, a total of four people came to the backyard.
The lawn in the backyard is overgrown with weeds, and the exterior walls are much more patchy than the villa seen from the front. It seems that although the band bought the villa, they don't have the money to hire professionals to maintain it properly.
The windows arranged horizontally and vertically are very neat, with a total of 8×3, which is 24 windows.
All windows are double-layer structures, with the outer layer being a protective wooden grille window and the inner layer being an old-fashioned lattice window.
Almost all the wooden-barred windows are open, except for the fourth window from right to left on the second floor, which is completely closed.
"You saw it, that's the one, right?"
Yuanzi pointed to the only closed window and asked, "It looks pretty ordinary from the outside. It doesn't look like it's been cursed."
Qin Zhibo stared at the window and found nothing unusual.
And the strange thing is, if it was a ghoul, why did the ghoul have to invade through this window on the second floor?
Entering directly through the broken window on the first floor should be more in line with the intuition of this crawling monster.
Or there is no so-called monster, it is all a fabrication of the rumored "brother", for some purpose...
The main hall Yingyou looked around and found a wooden ladder standing next to the big tree. On the branch at the top of the wooden ladder, there was an artificial birdhouse painted white.
"Look, there is a bird's nest here. Are there any birds on it?"
As Yingyou said, he walked to the wooden ladder, eager to climb up and have a look.
Qin Zhibo immediately stepped forward and held his shoulders.
"You might get hurt if you go up there, so let me do it."
Qin Zhibo's words are full of the wisdom and care of an elder.
It was not a trivial matter to fall from such a high place. She had promised Reina Mizuno to help take care of her brother, so it was better not to let him get hurt as much as possible.
It was Qin Zhibo's turn to climb the ladder. He climbed to the top three times, five times five times two times, and he was right in front of the artificial bird house.
The design of this bird house is completely based on human wishful thinking. It is a small pointed house with a lid that can only be opened by humans on one side. In the middle of the lid is a hole for birds to get in.
Qin Zhibo opened the lid with his fingers. There was no bird's nest in the traditional sense, only a plate for the birds to drink.
However, the plate has been dry for a long time. Apparently no one here cares about the life and death of the bird.
"How is it? Mr. Qin?"
"There's no bird, just a plate."
"plate?"
Rather than talking, Qin Zhibo reached out and took out the plate to show it to the people below.
But when he showed the plate to the people below, he saw something unusual at the bottom of the plate.
It was a magic circle painted on the bottom of the plate using some kind of black paint.
There are complex inscriptions and magnificent patterns on the magic circle, which look very strange and are obviously not the original design of the porcelain plate.
This is……
Qin Zhibo was confused as he held the plate.
Why does a magic circle appear in this place?
Qin Zhibo glanced at other places in the bird house, but found no other magic circles.
But on the top of the bird house cover, there are four arc-shaped protrusions arranged in circular lines.
Qin Zhibo immediately understood and fastened the plate on it, which was able to be fixed on the inside of the lid.
Then close the lid of the bird house, and the magic circle will pass through the hole in the middle of the lid, just aiming at the window where the monster appeared and was nailed shut.
Magic circle aimed at the window?
Qin Zhibo's eyes scanned these two points and one line, thinking deeply in his heart.
If this magic circle is really useful, it may have something to do with the "monster" encountered by the brother of the previous owner of the villa.
Maybe someone used a magic circle to summon monsters, which happened to attack my brother behind the window.
Judging from the ultimate beneficiary of this matter, it may be the younger brother or younger sister, because they benefited the most after the death of the elder brother and sister-in-law.
However, those who can use the magic circle are those with magic power.
It seems that most people who have magical powers and can use magic live very low-key among people and use their abilities secretly.
Qin Zhibo thought about it, then took off the plate, took a photo with his mobile phone to record the magic circle, and sent it to Koizumi Hongzi.
But at this moment, the nailed window opened slightly.
Qin Zhibo's face was shocked, but he did not make a sound because of the fright. Instead, he narrowed his eyes and watched silently.
But the main hall Yingyou below saw what attracted Qin Zhibo's eyes and looked in which direction, but was frightened by the horrifying scene and screamed.
"ah--!"
"Then, there is something there!"
Qin Zhibo kept looking at the window, and as Bentang Yingyou made a sound, the nailed window quickly closed like a shell being frightened.
"At that moment, something was looking at us!"
Hondo Yingyou was so frightened that he fell to the ground, trembling and pointing in that direction.
But when Conan, Mao Lilan and Yuanzi looked at them on the ground, the windows had been closed, so naturally they saw nothing.
But even so, timid Mao Lilan was still frightened and clenched her hands uneasily, "Don't scare me~"
"I'm not lying, there really was something just now!"
When Conan heard this, he immediately ran to the villa with a serious face, obviously going up to check it out.
"Conan!"
Mao Lilan and Yuanzi followed closely behind.
Qin Zhibo glanced at the plate with some confusion. Could it be that the magic circle worked?
But thinking about it carefully, although I can cast magic with the help of the magic extractor, I am not wearing that item at all now.
However, just in case, Qin Zhibo still put the small plate in his arms to prevent it from harming anyone again.
After doing this, Qin Zhibo glanced around the second floor again.
Next to the nailed window is another window in the library, where Wavy Girl can be seen standing in front of the bookshelf reading.
Judging from her lack of reaction, there shouldn't be any shocking changes in the room.
On the left side of the nailed window, a thin figure hangs quietly in the room.
…
On the other side, Conan quickly ran to the library on the second floor of the villa.
The wavy girl who was reading a book inside was startled and asked, "What's going on?"
But Conan ignored her, but looked straight at the nailed window and ran forward to check.
The rivets and iron bars on the window frame are all in a secure state, with no trace of them being pulled out.
He frowned and fell into thinking.
At this time, Mao Lilan, Sonoko and Hondo Eiyou also arrived on the second floor, but were stopped by the knock on the door of the bespectacled man standing next to the library.
"Lunzi! Open the door quickly!"
"I'm here to bring you a CD!"
