"Ah? Is it true?"

"It's actually true!"

"It's me!"

A large number of guests dressed in country clothes showed expressions of great surprise, and the exaggeration even made people feel a little unreal.

Passed, passed.

At this point, Qin Zhibo had no choice but to pretend not to know that these people were extras hired by Domoto Eizo, and stood up to wave to everyone and accept photos from reporters.

After the speech, everyone moved to the cable car platform behind the hotel.

Eizo Domoto cut the ribbon himself, everyone applauded, and the host also began to introduce.

"Now please invite all the guests to try taking the Tianbu Mountain Cable Car. After the first bus reaches the top of the mountain, everyone will welcome the second bus to the platform. Everyone has a chance."

The candidates for the first bus were determined in advance, including Domoto Eizo, four people directly under Domoto, Qin Zhibo, Conan, Xiaolan, and the yellow-haired reporter Tetsuya Aoyagi brought by Domoto Saina.

Finally, there were the two Toyo Post reporters who were following the report and Secretary Yoshino, a total of 11 people.

After a few people got on the bus, they stood and sat. The atmosphere in the car was not lively, but rather subtle.

As the departure tone sounded, the cable car started slowly, and the steel cables creaked, causing the height of the cable car to gradually rise.

Qin Zhibo glanced at the people in the car, and he still couldn't guess who was planning to harm Domoto Eizo.

However, according to normal logical thinking, taking action in such a small compartment should be very detrimental to the murderer himself.

But most of the murderers in this world have abnormal brain circuits, and they always like to commit crimes in limited spaces.

In this case, if the murderer is either A or B, or C, the suspicion will only be on the three surviving people, and there is no way to get rid of it.

No matter how sophisticated the trick is, it cannot achieve the purpose of getting rid of the crime, and in the end the flaw is slowly discovered.

Judging from the rubber resin dummy in the hand of the goddess, it seems that the location where the murderer struck this time was an observation deck?

Just as Qin Zhibo was thinking about the murderer's plan, Domoto Nagao, who was sitting in the seat, spoke.

"How's it going? Mr. Machida, can you please put in a nice word for our company occasionally?"

Qin Zhibo glanced at it and found that "Mr. Machida" was one of the two reporters from Donghai Press.

"Hmph, if you really dare to bribe me, I will definitely expose it in the newspaper."

Seeing that Machida was not giving up face at all, Domoto Choo lowered his head slightly, and his eyes under the reflective lenses gradually became gloomy, "I want to see how long you can last with this strength of character."

This slightly ferocious expression made Machida startled and cold sweat formed on his forehead.

Qin Zhibo was a little puzzled. It seemed that Tobi Publishing House, where Machida worked, was often at odds with Domoto Company.

In this case, why do you have to invite your enemies here? And they specially arrange it on the most important first bus.

The height of the cable car continued to rise, and it didn't take long before it reached the aerial cable car tunnel halfway up the mountain.

When the cable car drives into it, darkness engulfs the field of vision, and all light sources come from the cable car itself.

After their naked eyes got used to the darkness, a few people could see the "good scenery" below.

"Machida-senpai! Come here and take a look below!"

The fat reporter from Donghai News said hello, and Machida turned around and saw a shocking scene.

"So many Arhat statues!"

"You people actually spent a lot of money to make something like this!"

Machida reprimanded excitedly, but Domoto Eizo didn't take it seriously. He showed an old fox face and replied unhurriedly: "Don't be excited. You should say that we have innovative ideas, and these stone statues are also beautiful."

How much"

"If tourists know about this scenic spot, they will definitely rush over here just to see what kind of sparks the goddess statue and the 500 Arhat statues can create."

"After all, I have to thank the goddess statue. There is no better curse than this."

As he was saying this, all the lights of the cable car suddenly went out.

The carriage suddenly became chaotic, and Eizo Domoto, who had been talking eloquently just a second ago, immediately shouted out.

"What's going on! Is there a power outage?"

"Someone is coming! Turn on the light quickly!"

"What's wrong!"

Secretary Yoshino's shouts rang out in the dark carriage, although the most suitable person to turn on the lights was obviously her secretary.

At this moment, the voices of countless monks reciting scriptures rumbled out. The supposedly holy prayers, against the backdrop of this dark environment, turned out to be creepy and trembling.

Just when Qin Zhibo was about to take out his nuclear lighter to see what was causing the problem, Mao Lilan, who was frightened next to him, tilted his body and hugged Qin Zhibo's arm tightly.

Fortunately, Conan couldn't see this scene, otherwise his reputation as the Jealous King of East Asia would not have been fulfilled.

The brainwashing voice was like the Great Compassion Mantra, and the dark and trembling atmosphere of terror spread in the carriage.

"ah--!"

A scream suddenly sounded in the carriage, but it was not Mao Lilan's voice, but a louder scream.

Conan felt nervous and quickly reminded loudly: "Use the camera spotlight quickly!"

The panicked fat reporter quickly operated, and a strong white light flashed in the car, and then quickly went out.

With the residual vision, Qin Zhibo saw the frightened expressions on the faces of everyone in the carriage, but the light at this moment was not enough to judge the situation clearly.

"Again!"

Conan shouted again, but just as the fat reporter wanted to operate the camera, the camera in his hand was knocked to the ground.

"My camera!"

hateful!

When he learned that the camera had fallen, Conan cursed inwardly.

However, Qin Zhibo had already turned on his night vision goggles at this time, and could clearly distinguish the positions of everyone in the faint green light.

I saw silhouettes of people standing in confusion around the carriage. Only one person had opened the seat panel of the car seat and was trying to get inside.

Judging from the slightly bloated figure, it was none other than Eizo Domoto.

Next to Domoto Eizo, Domoto Choo stood beside him in a protective posture. After Domoto Eizo got in, he re-covered the seat panel from the outside, stuck something on the glass, and sat back down.

Sitting on the seat, pretending that nothing happened.

Qin Zhibo: Ah this

The entire 30-second tunnel journey passed quickly. When the light illuminated the cable car again, the monk's voice disappeared immediately. As expected, people discovered that someone was missing.

"Ah? How could this happen?"

"The president is missing!"

There was only Domoto Choo on the seat, and Domoto Eizo was nowhere to be seen in the carriage. Everyone couldn't help but exclaim, and even Conan's eyes widened in surprise.

Only Qin Zhibo looked calm, as calm as water as an old monk in meditation.

Conan's brain immediately reacted and he scanned the left and right doors of the cable car. There were people guarding them.

The glass was also completely sealed, the ventilation openings in the ceiling were so small that even I couldn't get through, and the emergency escape equipment under the cable car floor was not used.

Why on earth did he disappear?

Conan's face was full of disbelief, and his worldview seemed to be shattered.

"What is this!"

At this moment, Domoto Nagao looked at the glass and exclaimed.

Everyone turned their attention and saw a piece of talisman paper stuck on the glass, with the four characters "karma and retribution" written on it.

"Karma?! What does this mean?"

"Could it be that the curse of the goddess statue has come true?"

Machida from the newspaper office exclaimed, making the weird atmosphere in the carriage even more intense.

Great, that's it.

Domoto Choo saw that the situation was almost over, but no one had noticed the dummy in the hand of the goddess outside, so he took the initiative to stand up.

"Look! That is"

Domoto Nagao's words stopped suddenly, and his eyes widened in disbelief.

Because he couldn't believe that the dummy he placed with his own hands actually disappeared at this moment!

its not right!

I remember I put the dummy there with my own hands after I parted ways with Qin Zhibo yesterday!

But why is it gone now?

Could it be a goddess statue?
