The current source that can be traced back to is the "Necronomicon" created by the mad Arab poet Abdullah Alhassad in 730 AD.
This masterpiece records and explains some historical events, predicts the future, and reveals the true origin of human mythology and religious beliefs.
In order to verify his remarks, Abdullah Alhassad also meticulously used some knowledge of astrology and astronomy to explain the history of the earth before the emergence of humans.
In addition, it also records various mantras and various gods known as "old gods".
Later, due to the ban of Pope Gregory IX in the twelfth century, the Necronomicon was banned, and a large number of original copies of the Necronomicon were burned.
The most complete "Necronomicon" currently preserved is the Latin version published in Spain in the 17th century. There is only one copy in the world and it is permanently collected in
"Miskatonic University."
Haibara Ai suddenly spoke English with standard American pronunciation, causing Conan and Dr. Ari to look back at the indifferent face in surprise.
Because the website does say it is Miskatonic University.
"How do you know this? Did you..."
Before Conan could say "I've read it," Haihara Ai quickly put an end to Conan's groundless speculation.
"I'm not going to spend my time reading weird occult books."
"When I was studying in the United States, I went to Miskatonic University as an exchange student. What I saw in the Aoun Library of that school was a heavy book locked in a glass cabinet."
Haibara Ai studied in the United States, and Conan knew about this.
However, Conan didn't know about Haibara Ai's experience as an exchange student at Miskatonic University.
If Haihara Ai has also been to the University of Michigan, then there are two people around him who have been to the University of Michigan.
The figure of that person appeared in Conan's mind unconsciously, and Haibara Ai, who was looking at Conan, could probably guess what Conan was thinking.
"When that man was at the University of Michigan, he seemed to have participated in a club that advocated occultism."
Conan suddenly raised his head, "Are you talking about Qin Zhibo?"
Hui Yuan Ai nodded without comment.
For the sake of face, Hui Yuan Ai did not say that she had just escaped from the black organization and wanted to "take" some money from Qin Zhibo's wallet to run away, so she happened to discover this.
Conan didn't ask carefully about the specific source of this clue. He held his chin and thought about his previous experiences with Qin Zhibo.
Qin Zhibo never explicitly rejected the existence of those rural legends and strange things like Mouri Kogoro, and even occasionally confided in his words that he did not refuse to believe in these things.
This even made Conan wonder whether Qin Zhibo was suitable for a detective career where rational thinking dominates the brain.
But now it seems that Qin Zhibo has believed in these mysterious things for some years.
Three feet of ice cannot be frozen in a day. This is how his world view is constructed.
Conan slapped his forehead and felt a little headache.
The detective that I admire very much is actually someone who has been appreciating the occult since he was in college.
At this moment, Dr. Ali, who had not spoken for a long time, came up with an idea.
"If it were Mr. Qin, would he have read the "Necronomicon"?"
"Maybe he knows something."
Hearing this, Conan and Haibara Ai both turned to look at Dr. Ali, with light in their eyes.
You are so smart! Dr. Ali!
The next day at 5:00 pm.
Dr. A Li estimated that Qin Zhibo had almost finished his work for the day, so he called and planned to invite Qin Zhibo to his home for dinner, giving Conan and Haihara Ai an opportunity to ask questions.
At this time, Dr. Ali discovered that Qin Zhibo's phone number could not be reached at all.
"Shut down."
So Dr. Ali and Conan came to Qin Zhibo's office again, only to find a note on the door saying "I've been on a business trip recently, I'll talk about it when I come back."
Judging from the handwriting, he walked in a hurry.
Dr. Ari and Conan hurried to the women's clothing store downstairs of Zhibo Detective Agency to ask the boss, and then they found out something.
Qin Zhibo went to the United States.
Back in the morning, Qin Zhibo turned on the TV after washing and watched the morning news on time.
"Yesterday, a fire broke out in an abandoned warehouse located in Shinagawa City, Tokyo's 6th Ward. It was caused by a series of arsonists in recent days."
"According to the information currently disclosed by the police, the arsonist belongs to a religious sect called Zoroastrianism. There are five accomplices, all of whom are members of Zoroastrianism."
"At present, the police have sealed off the sect's office in Tokyo and will follow up."
While explaining, Reina Mizunashi combined it with pictures of fire tornadoes that happened to be taken by passers-by nearby.
Regarding this somewhat miraculous fire tornado, the expert next to Reina Mizuno explained that the location where the fire occurred happened to be a seasonal tornado, which was an accident.
Also, the news did not announce that Qin Zhibo was the hero who helped the police arrest these arsonists. This was Qin Zhibo's initiative.
Zoroastrianism is not a small sect only found in Japan. It originated from the ancient Persian Empire. There are currently Zoroastrian followers all over the world.
If your name is exposed, you may be resented by other Zoroastrian members, leading to retaliation.
This is Qin Zhibo's style of doing things. He doesn't want his detective agency to be set on fire by these fanatical believers.
And even if his deeds are not published in the news, with the capabilities of the Nine Angels organization, he can still check the internal information of the police.
Qin Zhibo turned on his computer and entered the website of the Nine Angels Organization. As expected, there was a message that the administrator's 1 million yen remuneration had been paid.
I don’t know why, but since the last time I met with Nine Angels’ A-level agent in Japan, Yasharu Haneda, the speed of transfers has increased a lot.
In addition, Qin Zhibo also received a permission escalation notification from the administrator.
[Guan: Congratulations, your authority has been upgraded to C-level agent! 】
[Guan: You will get priority for tasks, perform more types of tasks, and get more organizational support]
The administrator's statement was somewhat official, and Qin Zhibo couldn't tell whether it was AI, the new name Kahori, or Haneda Yasuharu.
There are still benefits to being promoted to a C-level agent. Many of the difficult tasks obtained previously were carried out from top to bottom.
This is the system of the Nine Angels Organization. If a high-level agent cannot complete the task, or only completes part of the task, it will be the turn of the lower-level agent.
For example, Harujing Fuden's death investigation mission was initially handled by Harujing Fuden, but later involved the Beast Brotherhood and the Women's Guild.
The same was true for this arson case. Other agents first investigated the clues about Zoroastrianism and were killed before it was their turn.
Thinking about it this way, Qin Zhibo felt like he was stepping on other people's corpses to gain power.
Do I also have a death constitution?
Qin Zhibo temporarily suppressed his self-doubt and added the new deposit of 1 million yen to his small coffers.
Adding this 1 million yen, there are only 4 million yen left from the 30 million yen to buy the third floor of the office upstairs.
When the time comes, I will be able to separate my work area from my living area like the Mouri Kogoro family did, and improve the quality of life.
But even though he thought so in his heart, Qin Zhibo also knew that the 1 million yen might not be really saved and would be spent soon.
Because just as he was walking out of the Metropolitan Police Department after recording his confession last night, he received a call from Mr. Clock on the other side of the ocean.
He said that he needed Qin Zhibo's help and went to the United States as soon as possible.
