Out-of-control players in the world of Detective Conan

"What happened to Inspector Megure?"

Seeing Inspector Megure's sudden loss of composure, Kogoro Mouri and a group of police officers immediately surrounded him.

Megure swallowed hard, pointing his finger directly at the note he had thrown on the ground.

"Paper, paper!"

Paper?

"Inspector Megure, you're not going to say you need to use the restroom now, are you?"

Kogoro Mouri made a sarcastic remark, but his gaze still followed the direction Inspector Megure was pointing.

Is there anything strange about this piece of paper?

Picking up the fallen paper, Kogoro Mori felt a little uneasy looking at the blood-written words on it.

They were the first guests to come in, and there should have only been one curse word written on it originally!

So where did these words come from?

"Could it be that there is some kind of invisible material on it? Is it only now that it has become visible because so much time has passed?"

Kogoro Mouri frowned and guessed.

"Yes, that's possible."

Upon hearing this, Inspector Megure calmed down slightly.

The chef, his face full of doubt, leaned forward and glanced at the contents of the paper, feeling equally horrified.

He wrote the contents of this paper!

What invisible ink? He didn't even use any of those things.

"That cop named Megure, you guys were the only ones in the room during that time, right?"

Chianti suddenly spoke up and asked.

"Ah, um, we've been in the room the whole time, and no one has come in."

Inspector Megure nodded in agreement, because due to his current state of mind, he selectively ignored what Chianti had said about the cops.

Chianti, Gin, and the others were behaving very strangely.

All the men in black were now looking up, their eyes fixed on the ceiling.

"So what kind of joke are you guys making?"

Chianti lowered his head, came up to Megure, pointed at his nose, and cursed:

"Since you've been staying inside the whole time, who wrote that thing on the ceiling?!"

What's on the ceiling?

Chianti's words made everyone look up.

A large, bloody character had been written on the ceiling.

"...What on earth is going on?!"

After everyone came to their senses, another chilling thing happened.

The blood-red words that were originally only on the ceiling and walls have now spread all over the walls of the entire restaurant!

"Officer Megure..."

A junior police officer touched Inspector Megure's shoulder, and upon closer inspection, the officer's hand was trembling slightly.

"Under your feet, under your feet lies..."

What lies beneath my feet?

Megure Juzo raised his head and then lowered it again.

The moment he saw the floor beneath his feet, he finally broke down.

The spot where he was standing had a large, bright red X drawn on the floor.

It's a curse, it must be a curse!

Inspector Megure, along with Kogoro Mouri, completely shattered their previous scientific beliefs at this moment.

What's happening right now is simply inhuman!

So that means Qi Ming was telling the truth?!

"I just joined this organization and I've already encountered such a huge problem..."

Kaito Kuroba had seen magic before, so he wasn't too surprised by what was happening, even though he was already thinking about running away immediately.

"Brother Qi Ming, what should we do now?"

Megure quickly moved away from the red cross under his feet and came to Qi Ming's side to ask.

Onmyoji, no, if we're talking about China, then it would be called Celestial Master, right?

Since Qi Ming was able to perceive the truth of this case, it means he must have a solution!

"Don't worry, although this curse is very strong, I do have a way to break it."

Qi Ming said calmly, his hands behind his back.

Although some people may look glamorous, they actually look quite pathetic when they're drawing on paper and walls while driving a Sinwidman.

In fact, according to Qi Ming's plan, Inspector Megure and the others should have another wave of suspicion, and then he would say that there was no body in the lake at all, thus completely confirming the claim of a curse.

But judging from the current situation, it seems unnecessary.

However, in order to convince Inspector Megure and the others to be more convinced of his abilities, Qi Ming took out two gems from his pocket and unleashed two fireballs, something he hadn't done in a long time.

Now everyone completely believed Qi Ming's explanation.

"It's actually quite simple to break this curse; the key lies with you."

Qi Ming raised his hand and extended a finger to the chef.

"I?"

The chef's eyes widened suddenly, and the wound on his head that he had deliberately broken started to throb again.

He was probably the most bewildered person present.

Is it really a curse? Is it really my father's ghost coming to haunt me?

But wasn't this whole thing planned by him?

A strange thought suddenly occurred to the chef.

Could it be that his father's ghost has possessed him, and all his actions are being instigated by his father?

"Sir, what... what should I do?"

Upon hearing the chef's reply, Qi Ming's expression immediately turned serious, and he said to the chef:

"Let me see your menu."

"Okay, good news...the menu?"

The chef had just handed the menu to Qi Ming when his expression suddenly froze.

What does dispelling curses have to do with the menu?

Kogoro Mouri, ever the go-to person for questions, immediately looked at Qi Ming with a puzzled expression.

"Mr. Qi Ming, what does this exorcism have to do with the menu?"

"Does he need to cook these dishes and then offer them to the deceased?"

Qi Ming shook his head.

"This meal is made for us. Only by eating this meal can the curse on us be lifted."

Upon hearing Qi Ming's words, Kogoro Mouri couldn't help but take a few steps back.

"The curse upon us?"

Qi Ming nodded seriously, holding the menu in one hand and a pen in the other, constantly checking off the dishes.

“As soon as we walked into this restaurant, we were all cursed.”

Qi Ming said, but then, as if remembering something, he looked at Inspector Megure and said:

"But Inspector Megure and you guys are alright. You police officers have a strong sense of justice, so the curse can't touch you."

Righteousness and integrity?!

Upon hearing this, Inspector Megure straightened his back a bit.

What is he afraid of then? Why not just confront them directly?

However, upon hearing Qi Ming's next words, Inspector Megure couldn't help but shrink back.

“Although you are protected by righteous energy, this protection period will not last long. Once your righteous energy is invaded, even I will not be able to help you.”

Qi Ming looked up at Megure.

"So I suggest that Inspector Megure and the others stay away from the restaurant while we're eating, to avoid any accidents."

Megure Juzo swallowed hard and nodded repeatedly.

"Okay, okay, no problem."

Naturally, this is a lie.

He had no interest in having dinner with the police.
