Under the moonlit sky with sparse stars, Kato Akira, with his hair in a crew cut and the gold-rimmed glasses on his nose reflecting the moonlight, walked slowly towards the ruins.

He received the bad news about his grandma this morning, so he took a car from his hiding place to Tianbu Mountain in the afternoon.

However, due to the intensive search by the police now, they may have also issued a co-investigation notice to the police stations in surrounding areas. He could not show up during the day and could only come to express his condolences at night.

When he reached the ruins, he stopped and stared straight at the dark stone crevices in the ruins.

Although the specific circumstances are still unclear, it was learned from the person who notified him that Kato Shizu died in the earthquake, and dozens of villagers died with her.

At this moment, Kato Akira's eyes were not too sad, but rather dull.

He still vaguely remembered that when he was ten years old, his father had a big quarrel with his grandma because her grandma had donated all the family property in his hometown without leaving any money for him, and the two even got into a fight.

Since then, there has been no communication between the two parties, not even a single phone call.

Therefore, Kato Akira doesn't have much affection for this grandma.

I just needed to avoid the news of police raids recently, and there wasn't much to do, so I took the opportunity to come back and take a look, which could be regarded as a way to relax.

"Grandma, I'm here to see you."

A greeting without any emotion came out of the mouth indifferently.

Immediately, he looked up at the decapitated goddess halfway up the mountain, raised his hand and lit a cigarette.

But just as he was looking at the statue of the goddess in trance, a subtle noise sounded from beside him.

He lowered his head slightly and looked at the rubble in front of him.

In the mess of countless rubbles, the silence in the dark gaps was broken by furtive sounds.

Rusty——

There seems to be something hidden and squirming in the gap that arouses people's desire to observe.

Akira Kato narrowed his eyes slightly, lowered the cigarette in his hand, and looked closer.

Suddenly, a ball of black color that resembled a lake sprang out from the gap in the rocks and sprayed out at an astonishing speed.

He had received professional fighting training overseas and his reaction speed was extremely fast. He could avoid the black jet path with a sudden flash of his head.

But just when he wanted to look back and see what it was, he felt a heavy feeling of restraint under his feet.

When he lowered his head, he saw that a shiny black substance like slime had climbed up to his feet and was getting into his pants.

He didn't scream, but suddenly his eyes sharpened, and he raised his feet to throw away those hateful substances.

But the power of these things is not small. The trapped feet feel like they are stuck in a swamp, and even if they try their best to suck milk, they feel like a mud cow sinking into the sea.

In just a moment of struggling, other black substances also sprayed onto his body, forming a network-like structure to restrain his body.

This abominable body was shaped into a bloody mouth, and the sharp teeth began to bite his body, and the heartbreaking pain instantly passed from the skin to the brain.

But even so, Kato Akira still did not scream.

He gritted his teeth while maintaining the most basic thinking ability in his mind.

Suddenly, his expression suddenly became clear, as if he had realized something, and he immediately spoke a convoluted spell.

【In view of the general environment,

「Ah「hriya,Y」y「ahuh「eog,hugus!」

After reciting this incantation, these Shoggoths seemed to have been hit by some kind of time-stopping spell and all stopped attacking.

After a few seconds, the bloody mouth on the surface of the black and shiny material disappeared, and they suddenly became docile, flowing in from Kato Akira's mouth and nose like a slender stream.

As these terrible substances flowed in, Kato Akira's body continued to rise, and his whole body twitched like an electric shock.

It wasn't until a certain moment that this terrifying process ended. His body fell back to the ground, and all the Shoggoths on the ground disappeared.

Instead, there was a dark shadow in the corner of Kato Akira's eyes.

Pass quickly.

But he didn't care, a sinister smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, as if he was chewing something.

"So this is what this stuff tastes like."

In the early morning, Qin Zhibo got up on time, washed up, had breakfast, and watched the morning news.

For a real uncle, life is just like this.

After breakfast, Qin Zhibo quietly walked to the window and observed the environment on the street.

The bustling passers-by were walking for their own purposes, and they did not seem to be quietly monitoring the suspicious people in the office.

Ever since he sent Minase Yomu to Matsumoto Ryohei, Qin Zhibo thought that his office would be monitored by those people. After all, he was the one most likely to save Minase Yomu.

But in fact, the expected situation did not occur. The past two days in my office were calm, as if there was no such thing.

There are three possibilities for this. One is that the other party did not suspect him, so he did not monitor him.

The second is that the other party has learned through some means that he has not taken in Minase Yomu.

The third possibility is what Qin Zhibo is most worried about, that is, this group of people has always known where Minase Yomeng is.

Although Qin Zhibo had quietly checked that there was no signal transmitter or anything like that on her school uniform, but for some reason, he was vaguely worried about it.

There are many mysteries surrounding Minase Harumu.

To solve these mysteries, the only starting point now is to see if the Nine Angels organization can investigate the origins of the group of people who want to harm her.

At this moment, Qin Zhibo's old phone rang.

Jingle Bell--

He answered the phone and found that the owner of the voice on the other side didn't call him often.

"Hello? Is this Mr. Qin?"

Some capable female voices came from the phone, and Qin Zhibo identified the owner of the voice as Miwako Sato.

"I'm Qin Zhibo, why did Officer Sato remember to call me?"

Qin Zhibo remembered that he should have no default records. Logically speaking, the two of them had no other interactions except for the case.

"That's it." Sato explained the purpose of his call.

It turns out that in the "Shou Si Lang" case, Qin Zhibo solved the problem that had troubled Miwako Sato for eighteen years and helped her arrest the criminal who indirectly killed her father.

Therefore, Zuo Teng also straightforwardly agreed to Qin Zhibo's wish to fulfill one wish, even marriage.

However, Qin Zhibo was very open at that time and gave the right to make wishes to the Junior Detective Team, who then made a wish for Miwako Sato to take them to the recently opened Tropical Amusement Park.

Unfortunately, that tropical amusement park is currently so popular that it is hard to get a ticket, so Sato had no choice but to do the next best thing and book tickets for the Ferris Wheel Park in Aipido Shopping Plaza.

Zuo Teng happened to be taking a day off today, so he planned to take the young detective team on a trip, and invited Qin Zhibo by the way.

"I don't know if Mr. Qin has time today. I also want to talk to you about the topic last time."

Miwako Sato's words made Qin Zhibo a little confused, what is "the topic last time"?

But when he thought that Conan, the "god of death for primary school students", would join the team this time, Qin Zhibo didn't hesitate and agreed directly.

"No problem, I just have some free time today."

"Then see you at the gate of the amusement park later?"

「」

Putting down the phone, Qin Zhibo fell into memories, thinking about when he had unfinished conversations with Sato.

Is it a case of missing someone? Or was it that blind date?

These two times were cases of relatively strong interactions with Zuo Teng, but Qin Zhibo still couldn't remember anything he said to her that was worth paying attention to.

Forget it, let’s wait until we get to the place.

Aipido City is located next to Rice Flowers. Due to the geographical proximity,

I often receive the care of "rice flower talents", and the number of cases has continued to increase in recent years.

Qin Zhibo drove his Mustang convertible through the route provided by the navigator and soon arrived at the shopping plaza in the center of Aipado.

It is said to be a square, but in fact most of the area is used to build an amusement park.

Qin Zhibo drove the car, opened the door and got out, looking up at the huge and eye-catching Ferris wheel in the center of the amusement park.

As an uncle who has escaped from low-level tastes, Qin Zhibo has not seen many Ferris wheels, but the size of the Ferris wheel in front of him can definitely be ranked first.

The visual height alone is more than 100 meters, which is enough to overlook most of the cityscape of Aipido City.

It is speculated that this should be designed based on the "London Eye".

While Qin Zhibo was staring blankly at the Ferris wheel, several childish voices came.

"Uncle Qin!"

Qin Zhibo turned around and saw that it was all five members of the Junior Detective Team, with Miwako Sato standing next to them.

Although it was said that he was on rotation, Sato's outfit today was not very casual. He wore a purple professional uniform with a white knitted sweater and a small lady's bag slung across his shoulders.

With this outfit, you can go to the police directly after taking off your bag.
