"I said I was lost, do you believe me?"

Looking at the playful Conan, the smile on Qin Zhibo's face softened a lot, and his eyes narrowed into slits.

"Uncle believes you, so uncle will take you to find your sister Xiaolan now."

Conan: "..."

In this way, Conan was lifted up like a little chicken by Qin Zhibo with one hand, just like Mouri Kogoro often did.

"Um... where are Uncle Qin and brother Yingyou?"

"He's on the phone, he'll have to wait a while."

"Oh, then who is he calling?"

"Here..." Just when Conan thought his "answer every question" skill was activated, Qin Zhibo changed the topic and said, "I'll tell you if you guessed it right."

Conan rolled his eyes for a month and a half.

Here we go again.

…

Back at the Suzuki family's villa, Sonoko had almost heated up dinner.

Suzuki Ayako dragged the sick body and put dinner on the table, and Qin Zhibo also went over to help.

Halfway through the set, Mao Lilan and the handsome long-haired boy ran in from the entrance, panting.

"There's a bandage monster in the forest!"

"He's back! It's Takahashi who's back!"

The two of them said their lines according to the script one after another and screamed.

"What? Takahashi actually dares to come back!"

"What should we do now? He must be back for revenge..."

Everyone else in the villa knew the script, so they acted relatively calmly. Only Suzuki Ayako was so frightened that she dropped the plate in her hand.

Pacha.

A good plate of sushi fell to the ground and was shattered.

"ah!"

Yuanzi hurriedly ran over to comfort the elder sister, and said at the same time: "There are so many of us here, I'm sorry he doesn't dare to come over!"

"Let's eat first, then go down the mountain and let the police come and arrest him..."

Yuanzi was very stubborn, and everyone else agreed.

…

The sky outside the window has completely darkened, and the time has perfectly restored the time when Takahashi Ryoichi controlled the puppet that looked like a bandaged man and flashed past the window.

The next plan was the same as before, an actress who looked like Chikako was hired by the Suzuki family, pretended to be wrapped up by the bandage monster, and flashed past the window.

Then Qin Zhibo chased him out, caught the bandaged man, and rescued him so that Suzuki Ayako could see him.

In this way, a picture of justice defeating evil was formed in her mind, which might be able to replace the original bad memory.

When everyone sat down at the dinner table, only Suzuki Ayako still looked distracted.

But at this time, everyone also discovered that there was still an empty chair.

"Eh? Where is Yingyou-san?"

"Didn't he go out with Mr. Qin?"

Mao Lilan looked at Qin Zhibo, but Qin Zhibo didn't know either.

According to time, he should be back by now.

"Is it possible that in addition to being lost in the lake, he is also a bit of a road addict?"

"That child may be possible. Let's go out and look for him first..."

A big living person was lost invisibly, and everyone had no intention of eating, so they immediately went out to look for him.

…

In the forest, Yuanzi called his men lurking in the forest, but no one saw where the young man went.

There is no choice but to cancel the original plan and turn it into a search for the missing person.

Since Suzuki Ayako had limited mobility and could only wait at home, Sonoko asked one of her subordinates to guard the villa to protect her.

The remaining people worked in pairs and all looked for the missing Hondo Yingyou.

Qin Zhibo and Conan first came to the open space where Yingyou made the call, and found that there was no one in the open space.

Seeing this, Qin Zhibo put on his gloves and started to use the finding spell.

Conan, who was standing next to him, saw Qin Zhibo put on gloves and thought he had discovered the body of Yingyou, so he prepared for an autopsy.

Conan, whose eyesight was not that good, immediately looked serious and ran forward to check.

But after walking around in the grass, no body was found.

Looking back, Qin Zhibo was still standing there, but he had closed his eyes.

"Um?"

Qin Zhibo here closed his eyes and recalled in his mind the appearance of Bentang Yingyou, a young man wearing glasses, blue cat eyes, and two locks of hair hanging on his ears...

But when the magic extractor prompted [Magic Power -1], Qin Zhibo did not receive any inspirational feedback.

No such person found.

Can't find the finding spell?

Normally, the object-finding spell is very useful for searching for unique things within a radius of several kilometers.

What's more, there aren't as many people here as in downtown Tokyo. Maybe if you have a public face like Kudo Shinichi, you can search for several similar ones at once...

It should be easy to find here.

unless……

Qin Zhibo's eyes became serious and he thought of the worst idea.

Unless, I am no longer in this world.

The so-called not being in this world does not mean that the person is dead, because even if the person is dead, the finding spell can still find it, but it will only find the body.

But if I was separated from this dimension, it would be different.

The only strange place in this area is the cemetery on the back hill.

Hondo Eyou probably went there!

Thinking of this, Qin Zhibo did not dare to delay and hurriedly ran in that direction.

Conan, who was behind, saw that Qin Zhibo seemed to have a certain direction and wanted to catch up with him, but he didn't have enough walking distance and lost him not far away.

…

Under the guidance of the navigator, Qin Zhibo stepped on the [Golden Chelsea] and ran almost in a straight line, and soon reached the slope of the back mountain.

Seeing the darkness in the valley, Qin Zhibo knew that he had arrived at the cemetery.

He put away the [Golden Chelsea] that could easily cause body deformation, and first observed it on the hillside.

Among the weeds on the edge of the hillside, Qin Zhibo used his night vision device to see someone stepping through the weeds until there was a gap at the edge.

These weeds are highly resistant to lodging, and these signs of overpowering can only be left recently.

It's possible that our host Yingyou got lost and accidentally rolled down the hillside.

Qin Zhibo hurried down the hillside and came to the cemetery that he originally planned to explore in the middle of the night.

…

The air around was cold and damp, and there was ankle-high mist floating above the cemetery. If it weren't for the simple tombstones standing in the soil, you might have thought you were in some kind of fairyland on earth.

This mist does not settle in a certain place, but slowly flows in one direction, just like dry ice on the stage.

The source of all the white mist is the cellar where the ghoul crawled out last time.

A small half of this cellar is built on the ground, and the other half is buried in the soil. There are clumps of weeds growing in the gaps between them.

The dark green moss is mixed with unknown white velvet-like mold spots, which are distributed layer by layer on the tattered wooden boards.

This makes it difficult for people to feel anything other than "disgusting".

White mist flowed out from the opened cellar door like a trickle.

And in the cellar, there is endless darkness.

From these darknesses came the endless silence and the unpleasant smell caused by the fermentation of fishy rot.

Qin Zhibo stared into the cave and had some bad thoughts in his mind.
To be continued...
