This answer undoubtedly surprised everyone present.
This term is a somewhat unfamiliar word to all other police officers, including Inspector Megure, but looking at the two special police officers with furrowed brows, pale faces and even panic, it is not difficult to guess that this is definitely not a good word.
This was indeed the case, but after saying this, the two people with clairvoyance shut up. They were discussing something in a low voice, and one of the older ones seemed very excited, with a blush on his face that came from being too angry.
But the younger one seems to be the one who makes the decision among them. But it's no wonder. In the world of clairvoyants, the slightest advantage in clairvoyance is like a hurdle in the sky. For front-line personnel, seniority is not the most important thing.
The two seemed to have reached a unanimous decision. After making a phone call, they continued to search for evidence. One of them put on a pair of gloves with some strange patterns painted on them and carefully put the iron products into a sealed silver box.
Although on the second floor, Haiyin Temple Suyou also heard the words about voodoo, and he was sure that the "waiter" standing next to him also heard it.
He pretended not to notice the disguise of the Phantom Thief Kidd. After all, at this moment, catching the Phantom Thief Kidd was the most insignificant thing for Haiyin Temple Suyou.
Watching one of the two special police officers leave early with the evidence, Haiyinsi Suyou pursed his lips as if he had something in mind. He could see that after the police officers left with those things, the whole hall seemed to be a little brighter, as if some gray thing had left with the man.
Voodoo, this mysterious religion from West Africa, appeared in Japan, which is not a good thing. It is not difficult to infer this point for the Kaiin Temple tour.
When his parents were still alive, Haiyinsi Suyou learned a lot about the world here from his knowledgeable parents. After discovering the terrifying speed at which his clairvoyance ability was growing, he became more and more eager to learn more.
For other psychics, knowing too many taboos would only bring burdens, but for him, since he would have to step into such a world sooner or later, any detail might become a means of saving his life one day.
The current doubts still lie in the purpose and motive of Voodoo, what drives a person or group with such ability to kill a foreigner so openly.
In other words, someone hired a voodoo wizard to kill this man.
The nature of these two is completely different, and can even be said to be worlds apart. They represent completely different levels of danger and need to be carefully distinguished.
Just like mercenaries, the clairvoyant world also has its share of desperadoes motivated by pure money, while the latter might be nothing more than a voodoo shaman in Tokyo's clairvoyant underworld, but the former could be a horrific terrorist attack.
Just like the thoughts of Kaionji Temple, Edogawa Conan, who was hiding under the table, taking advantage of his small size, was also thinking about the same things at this moment.
However, compared to Kaionji Suyou, who knows more about the world of psychics, Edogawa Conan, as an ordinary person, still encounters a lot of difficulties in reasoning.
For high school students who believe in science, the existence of psychics and ghosts is completely unheard of, and they would never associate them with it.
When he heard the two police officers mention voodoo, he subconsciously regarded this religion as some kind of cruel cult organization.
This makes sense, Edogawa Conan thought, the iron artifacts scattered here are obviously some kind of sacrificial props. If you think of the □□ sacrifices or the methods of dealing with heretics, it is not difficult to understand why the dead look so scary.
However, there are still some key points that still make Conan Edogawa hesitant and confused.
Everyone who entered the banquet had gone through metal detection before, and the security team had all been paid a high salary by the Suzuki Group and were well-trained, so it was almost impossible for them to accept bribes. So the weapons could only be placed here in advance.
These iron crafts are small in size and seem easy to hide in some inconspicuous places.
As for the revelation that the deceased was cut in half, Conan Edogawa was still puzzled. In order to make such a cut, a very large machine must be used.
He had taken advantage of the chaos to check it out once before, and the cutting marks were not rough at all, like they were made by very primitive tools, such as an axe or a machete, rather than the large electric saw he had thought.
This requires the murderer to have great strength, and even so, it is very difficult to use a blunt axe to symmetrically split a person's head, as if it were the work of ghosts and gods.
Conan Edogawa was amused by his own rarely unscientific reasoning, and immediately kicked the idea out of his head as if it were a lame joke, but he didn't know that this was actually the moment he was closest to the truth.
Standing on the second floor of Haiyin Temple, Suyou felt someone approaching him. Judging from the reaction of the barrage, it was undoubtedly the waiter disguised as the monster thief Kidd. However, apart from him, there was no one else in the Corridor Mountain for the time being.
"Hello, Mr. Thief."
Haiyin Temple Suyou greeted him without turning his head, and was not surprised to find that the Phantom Thief Kidd did not show much surprise either.
"Suddenly I want to know how you found me?" If it weren't for the shine on his body, Heiyu Kaito's disguise could be said to be seamless. The "waiter" showed a slightly curious smile, and it was almost impossible to tell that it was just a layer of disguise.
Haiyinsi Suyou did not answer his question immediately. When Heiyu Kaito approached, he saw a mark on the thief that might have come from other psychic users.
"Is it because of that?" Seeing that the boy did not answer, the strange thief Kidd hesitated for a moment and asked again.
"What?" When hearing this question, the high school student with a pair of red eyes whose emotions were hard to see asked thoughtfully.
"It's that clairvoyance," the thief Kidd added, perhaps because he was certain that Haiyin Temple Suyou was a clairvoyant, "I can also vaguely see something. Someone once said that I have something special on me, which is very conspicuous for a clairvoyant in a crowd. But I have never been able to see what's on me. Is it true?"
For some reason, when facing this boy who seemed difficult to approach, Kuroba Kaito suddenly had a desire to confess. Apart from Koizumi Akako, there was no one else around him who could see ghosts, and the girls who seemed to be able to see more than him were always mysterious.
On the one hand, it was to avoid suspicion, and on the other hand, it was because Koizumi Akako's temper was really a bit unbearable, and Kuroba Kaito had almost no one to discuss this matter with.
"How much can you see?" The boy holding the railing finally turned around and looked at him. He raised his hand and pointed to a place downstairs. "Can you see what's there?"
Hei Yu Kuai Dou looked up in the direction pointed by Hai Yin Temple, but he only saw a small ghost with five legs crawling slowly, carrying a thick vortex-shaped shell on its back like a snail.
He told the boy the truth, but saw the corners of the boy's mouth, which had just been slightly raised, flattened again.
"It's indeed because of the clairvoyance ability." Although it didn't seem very strong, Kaionji Suyu said in his heart that there were indeed only a few people like him and Dazai Osamu who possessed strong clairvoyance abilities.
The black-haired high school boy replied in a flat tone, and Kuroba Kaito could feel that his attitude towards him seemed to have improved ever so slightly, but it also undoubtedly revealed the feeling of not wanting to say more that he had gotten when he finally couldn't resist his curiosity and asked Koizumi Akako.
When the boy finished speaking, Kuroba Kaito felt a little annoyed. This conversation that he started on a whim was really not a wise one.
But when he thought the conversation was about to end, the young man named Haiyinsi Suyou spoke again.
"Why are you still here? Now that your identity has been exposed, aren't you afraid that I will hand you over to the police?"
"I was a little worried just now, but even if I didn't come here, Haiyin Temple would have handed me over.
It's for the police, right? Didn't you sell me out to that detective's kid so easily before? But I didn't expect that I would be discovered by a kid. What a jerk.
The Phantom Thief Kidd spelled out the name of the Haiyin Temple tour accurately and said it with a complaining tone, which was able to win other people's sympathy.
However, Haiyin Temple Suyou remained indifferent. He was carefully selecting what he wanted from the barrage.
"But if you leave now I can pretend nothing happened for the time being."
When Kuroba Kaito heard the boy opposite him say this, he couldn't help but smile wickedly.
"No, my show has just begun."
But the black-haired, red-eyed boy just looked at him expressionlessly, with a somewhat cold look.
"It's just advice. It's up to you. There are some things here that are fine for ordinary people, but not very friendly to psychics. If you want to be safe, you'd better leave as soon as possible."
Haiyinsi Suyou wanted to find a better place to continue his observation, but the information in the barrage made him pause slightly.
[It’s going to get lively soon. I just went to another live broadcast window to see that the Red Witch is coming too.]
[Sister Hongzi! Great! I am looking forward to it. I wonder which one has better psychic ability between her and Brother Hai. I remember that Koizumi Hongzi’s psychic ability is also very good.]
[That must be Brother Hai, didn’t I hint at what kind of candidate Brother Hai is before? And the things that Brother Hai sees are getting more and more sanity-ridden. Recently, I dare not turn it up to the maximum, especially in the middle of the night.]
[But in terms of combat power, Hongzi is probably the better one. After all, she is the Red Witch and can perform magic.]
[This should be it. Indeed, I have never seen Brother Hai have any special abilities.]
[I’m a little curious about what kind of ghosts I can see this time]
[Wait, Hongzi came here just because she felt something, although it seems like she's probably here for a quick fight (whispering)]
[Yes, Brother Hai just reminded Kuaidou to run away]
[Looking forward to it]
After going over the name Koizumi Akako in his mind, Kaionji Suyou was sure that he had never heard of this name before. However, since it was related to Kuroba Kaito, it seemed that there was a high probability that she was the seemingly gifted clairvoyant who told Kuroba Kaito something.
Thinking of this, Kaiinji Suyou was no longer concerned about whether Monster Thief Kid would listen to his advice. From what was revealed in the barrage, this psychic named Koizumi Akako was very powerful and cared a lot about Monster Thief Kid's safety. He probably didn't need to pay any more attention to Monster Thief Kid's safety.
However, the red devil woman mentioned in the barrage seems to be a lady with a bad temper.
Haiyin Temple Suyou felt the power fluctuations coming from somewhere. People with clairvoyance are very sensitive to their peers, not to mention those with special abilities. The red color that seemed to be burning in the air allowed him to identify the location of the witch lady at a glance.
Moreover, the action was not very concealed. Looking at the girl who jumped off the broom and walked directly towards them, Haiyinsi Suyu made this judgment in his heart.
"?"
Perhaps because she saw Kaiinji Suyou's gaze following her, the witch seemed a little confused about why her magic didn't work, but she quickly realized that the black-haired high school boy was the same type as her, and her eyes immediately became alert.
Yes, Koizumi Akako became wary of this strange boy.
Not all psychics will help each other. Even though most of them will uphold the principle of mutual assistance and help each other whenever they can, there are still a few psychics who will even actively use such power to harm others. It is a blessing not to add insult to injury, just like the culprit who caused today's murder.
This is also what Koizumi Akako is wary of. Although she can feel that the boy standing opposite her does not have any trace of magic, and may even be more ordinary than the confused Kuroba Kaito standing behind her, it seems like he is just an unlucky guy with clairvoyance.
But the only way to easily get rid of her magic control is through clairvoyance.
Only those who are far superior to her in ability can see the traces of her magic at a glance.
Whether it was clairvoyance or the study of red magic, Koizumi Akako could be said to be extremely talented. And at this moment, seeing the journey back to Kaiin Temple, she found it hard to believe that a person with clairvoyance abilities superior to hers had no other means. The gift of clairvoyance was nothing more than a death warrant for those who had no ability to protect themselves.
"Who are you?" Koizumi Hongzi asked vigilantly, covering the mouth of the thief Kid who was about to say something.
"If you're going to take him away, you'd better do it quickly."
The boy standing opposite Koizumi Akako did not answer her, or it seemed that he did not see the need to answer. Judging from his furrowed brows, it seemed that talking to her was an unbearable thing.
Koizumi Akako was a little angry. Her charm failed once when she was with Kuroba Kaito, and now it was useless when she absorbed it again.
But the journey back to Haiyin Temple was indeed suppressing something. The hunger that had just disappeared seemed to reappear. Not only ghosts and gods, but also the power emitted by powerful psychics was so tempting.
But this feeling quickly disappeared, as if it was just an illusion.
Haiyin Temple Suyou would naturally not regard these two consecutive anomalies as illusions, but now was obviously not the best time to inquire about the system.
"Are you trying to persuade me to run away? I sense a declaration of war."
The master of red magic released the hand that was covering the mouth of the Phantom Thief Kid, raised his chin and spoke proudly, perfectly packaging the reason why he ran here because of his self-esteem problem.
It seems that communication is a little difficult. Kaiinji Suyou frowned slightly. In his mind, Kuroba Kaito and Koizumi Hongzi have been labeled as atypical psychics and troublemakers who actively look for trouble.
After all, he believed that most clairvoyants would not be willing to provoke ghosts and gods.
But it is still uncertain whether the thing that caused trouble here before is still there, and allowing these two people to act so casually is tantamount to seeking death.
The only good news is probably that Michel Ende's vest has already assimilated most of the power of the Red Temple. If it is an emergency, it can be regarded as one of the last safeguards.
Thinking of this, he felt relieved, but when he turned around, the thief Kid who was behind Koizumi Hongzi just now disappeared.
At first, Haiyin Temple Suyou thought that this strange thief was still unwilling to give up and took the initiative to leave to continue his theft career, but the Red Witch's face was extremely ugly.
A look of panic flashed in the girl's eyes for a moment, then quickly disappeared. After the thief Kid left, the witch lady also left.
Haiyin Temple Suyou suddenly had a bad premonition. He pinched his trembling knuckles and made the most rational judgment at the moment.
From a hidden window on the second floor, a boy with blond hair and blue eyes appeared in the night like a shining sun, and then walked in quietly.
The moment he stepped into the banquet hall, the entire building became the king's territory, and a dreamlike fantasy kingdom grew between the bricks.
All ordinary people, except for a few, fell into a normal illusion in such a country.
Koizumi Hongzi, who was searching for Heiyu Kuaidou, paused and immediately sped up her search. Annoyance was evident on the face of the Red Witch.
Another special police officer standing in the lobby suddenly shuddered, his mouth twitching nervously, and he tightly gripped the pistol at his waist that was specially used to deal with ghosts and gods, as if only this could give him a tiny bit of comfort.
The illusion represented by the dreamy colors flows throughout the entire building, assimilating and swallowing up all discordant things.
This sweet color seemed completely harmless, but it cleaned the entire building like a powerful detergent. Almost all the low-level ghosts and gods were cleared out, while a very small number of mid-level ghosts were struggling to survive, emitting desperate howls that only those with clairvoyance could hear.
However, these colorful dots of light encountered difficulties at one point. They formed various shapes, whether they were aggregated into a big hammer or
Whether it was a sword or a needle, it was impossible to penetrate the interior of the black cauliflower.
In the end, these lovely fantasies can only be reluctantly abandoned here and turn to look for the next goal.
Conan Edogawa, who was still carrying out his own reasoning, couldn't help but shudder. The shrunk famous detective suddenly had an ominous premonition.
But when he carefully stuck his head out and looked around, he found nothing. The police were all busy with their own work and no one noticed that a little kid like him was hiding here.
Just when he breathed a sigh of relief, he was suddenly grabbed by the collar and lifted up from behind by a big hand. The next second, a burst of angry shouts came from behind.
"Why are you here, little brat? It's so hard for us to find you."
Kogoro Mouri, who was carrying Conan Edogawa, scolded angrily. Regardless of whether this place was suitable for children, to him, a kid like Conan Edogawa was like a time bomb causing chaos at the crime scene, and he was about to carry him upstairs immediately.
"I'm just a little curious about what Uncle Mori is doing." Seeing that he was discovered, the Detective with the Shrunken Name immediately started his performance and successfully fooled Kogoro Mori, but a scolding was probably inevitable.
Of course, Kogoro Mouri meant to let Conan Edogawa go upstairs by himself, as he still wanted to take a part in this case.
But before he could do anything, he was suddenly asked to go upstairs. Kogoro Mouri had no choice but to take Conan Edogawa, whom he considered a burden, upstairs with him, sighing and lamenting that the police missed out on the kind help of his famous detective.
Conan Edogawa complained in his heart that Kogoro Mori had made him lose a good opportunity for field investigation, but since it had already happened, he had no choice but to accept it. He deliberately stayed away from Kogoro Mori as if in a huff, but in fact he just wanted to find a quiet place to continue his observation.
He also saw Haiyinsi Suyou in the corridor. He had many questions to ask Haiyinsi Suyou, but compared to solving the current case, questioning Haiyinsi Suyou became less attractive.
Standing on tiptoe, Conan Edogawa finally managed to see the scene downstairs clearly. With just one glance, he discovered something strange and suspicious. The police downstairs seemed to have been replaced by a new group. Almost all of them were wearing the same uniforms as the two suspicious police officers before, and they belonged to a special operations team.
Inspector Megure was still at the scene, communicating with a police officer with a dagger on his waist. Xihu was handing over work matters, and soon, even Inspector Megure left.
Conan Edogawa tried to raise his head higher to see more clearly, but his height ultimately limited his ability. However, the detective's mind continued to search for the truth.
However, after carefully screening a group of people, Conan Edogawa found that he still had no clue.
Even if some suspects with murder motives come to mind, how the murder weapon was hidden is beyond human imagination.
“Is there really a ghost?”
At this moment, Conan Edogawa's trust in science suddenly wavered, but was quickly denied in his heart.
"Do you want to know?"
A familiar voice came from behind him. It was his classmate named Haiyinsi Suyou before he became a small child.
"What are you talking about, Brother Haiyinsi? There are definitely no ghosts in the world. It is not a good thing to bully children."
When looking into those red eyes hidden behind the lenses, Conan Edogawa suddenly felt a chill, as if he was facing the bloody mouth of a cobra.
A drop of cold sweat appeared on the boy's forehead. Combined with his appearance at that moment, he really looked like a frightened child.
In the silence, Conan Edogawa seemed to hear the black-haired, red-eyed high school student laugh softly.
"Indeed not. After all, ghosts and gods are just legends."
He heard the young man standing opposite him speaking with a frivolous and fake smile on his face, but in a very firm tone.
"Ran Maori is in the second conference room, if you want to see her."
The former classmate said this and disappeared hurriedly in the corridor.
