According to Kinoshita Tomonori, the voodoo curse does not come without a price.
The essence of the voodoo curse is to sign a contract with Baron Samedi to absorb the soul. Once the curse starts, the curse must continue, otherwise the soul will be taken away by Baron Samedi.
This is a bit like the Death Note. Once a name is written, it is not allowed to stop halfway.
Kinoshita Satoshi believed that he had also signed such a contract with Baron Samedi to avoid his destined death.
This is a good thing for Qin Zhibo, because the other party thinks that the voodoo curse is useless to him, so he will not attack him again.
Not only that, they also believed that they had to kill people to stay alive, and wanted to use this to blackmail themselves.
In this case, before the contract period for absorbing souls comes, you can sit back and relax. No one will attack you, but there will be people to monitor you.
In addition, Kinoshita Tomo will hold some kind of ceremony in the Togami Forest on the Sabbath.
When reading "African Odyssey", Qin Zhibo knew that the Sabbath in Voodoo is Saturday, and every Saturday, Marie Laveau would hold a worship ceremony in the square of Benin.
In other words, Kinoshita Tomonori will hold a ceremony this Saturday.
You can ask Toru Amuro for the specific time later. After all, this Saturday will still be around Lake Taimo.
As for the location, Qin Zhibo had never heard of the Toushen Forest and needed to look it up on the electronic navigation map.
2kxs.
While Qin Zhibo was checking the accounts and thinking about countermeasures, a dazzling message appeared at the edge of Qin Zhibo's field of vision.
[Audit completed, identified as false]
Um?
The goods have arrived?
Qin Zhibo whipped out a financial report and called Officer Mu Mu in.
"Brother Qin! Did you find the clue so quickly?"
Mumu had already made plans to get off work late, but suddenly heard a sound coming from inside and immediately walked in happily.
"Yeah, it's okay. It's not too fast."
Qin Zhibo looked at the task time and found that there were less than 10 minutes left before the one-hour time limit.
Level 3 accounting skills can only go so far.
Officer Mu Mu took the financial report from Qin Zhibo and saw that there were three names on it.
"Brother Qin, this financial report was completed by three people."
After working for most of the day, I only ended up with one of three choices.
Seeing that the mission time was approaching, Qin Zhibo didn't think much and said directly: "Then call all three people over."
Soon, all three people were called to the accounting room.
Officer Yumegure began to ask, "What were the three of you doing when the power went out in the mall 50 minutes ago? Can anyone testify for you?"
As a result, all three people answered that they had just eaten alone nearby, and the owner of the restaurant should be able to prove that they had been there.
Hiroyuki Kido: "I eat Chinese fast food."
Kuroiwa Shigeo: "I eat Western fast food."
Kuniyoshi Bunta: "I eat Japanese fast food."
Although all three people said that they went to the restaurant to eat, the restaurant owner probably did not remember the specific time clearly.
This made Officer Megure confused for a while, but he still asked Takagi to request the locations of three restaurants and go to the boss to confirm the situation. …
At this time, Yuanzi, who was trying to show off his IQ, suddenly had an idea. He hit his fist on his palm and thought of a "good reasoning".
"I know who the murderer is!"
"What! Are you telling the truth?"
Officer Megure turned his head and looked at Suzuki Sonoko, his eyes full of hope.
In some previous cases, Suzuki Sonoko would occasionally transform into a famous detective, solving cases with her inexplicable waltz steps and handsome sleeping posture.
This makes Megure trust Suzuki Sonoko to a certain extent.
However, Suzuki Sonoko will never be Megure's "younger brother" due to her gender.
At most she is an "old girl".
Seeing that she had received the attention of the police officer, Suzuki Sonoko smiled with satisfaction, pinched her waist with both hands, and began to reason.
"In fact, what the deceased's pre-death message really implies is the deceased's favorite meals."
"In order to investigate whether the other party embezzled public funds, the deceased would certainly carefully track and observe the murderer's every move, especially the changes in his diet."
"For example, after I get rich, I often go to high-end restaurants to spend money."
"Therefore, the deceased knew exactly what kind of meal the deceased liked to eat."
"And ○, ×, △, allude to the burgers, forks, and sandwiches in Western food."
"The murderer is Mr. Shigeo Kuroiwa who likes to eat Western food!"
Suzuki Sonoko raised her hand handsomely and pointed at Shigeo Kuroiwa. The two people next to him were shocked and quickly gave up the C position exclusively for the murderer to Kuroiwa.
Mao Lilan, who was next to her, also connected with her best friend and suddenly said: "So that's it, burgers are all round, and the Chinese character for '×' also means 'fork'."
Teacher Judy also raised her finger and then analyzed: "The △ symbol is a sandwich shaped like a triangle!"
After being fooled by these three women, Officer Megure also felt that it made sense, and turned to look at Shigeo Kuroiwa coldly.
"Is there anything else you want to explain? Mr. Kuroiwa?"
There was cold sweat on Kuroiwa Shigeo's forehead, and he quickly explained: "I don't even understand what you are talking about! And today is the first time for me to go to that Western-style fast food restaurant. I rarely eat Western food before!"
Kuroiwa Shigeo's words were full of true feelings, but under the iron face of Officer Megure, everything was in vain.
"Mr. Kuroiwa, if there is anything we need to discuss first, let's go back to the bureau."
Seeing that Mu Mu was in a hurry to get off work, Qin Zhibo quickly stopped him.
"Wait a moment, Officer Megure."
"I think Suzuki Sonoko's reasoning, although very satisfying, is still a bit far-fetched."
Yuanzi: How about dinner?
"As my apprentice Toru Amuro judged before, when the deceased had been attacked and there was a power outage in the mall at that time, the deceased should have thought of a more intuitive message before his death."
"This kind of message is usually a special code that everyone has - a name."
"Now after comparing the names and passwords of these three people, I thought of a possibility."
"Mr. Kuniyoshi Bunta, don't you feel that there are ○, × and △ in your name at the same time?"
As Qin Zhibo spoke, he wrote Guojibunta's name on the paper and showed it to everyone.
Officer Memu frowned and stared carefully. Just when he was about to say nothing, he found some clues.
"I see! As long as the upper part of 'Yibunta' is covered, it will look like ○×△!"
Qin Zhibo deliberately made the following part more abstract, just so that everyone can easily understand it.
Then, Qin Zhibo said: "This code is actually incomplete. It should be that the deceased accidentally wrote the first word on the pedal of the escalator in a dark environment."
"If we can find that word again, everything should be clear."
