MTL - Conan’s World Stand-in-v2 Chapter 75 Playing cards and doubles

"That is to say, when the Mumu police department was jogging, they were attacked first with a crossbow, and then chased by a mysterious man with a sword. After fighting with the mysterious man, the mysterious man disappeared? "

Guan Dounan frowned when he heard what Conan said on the phone.

Today is the day after the new year, June 7, 1998, jumping directly from winter to summer, but otherwise it is no different from usual. If there is any difference, it is probably because the temperature today is not too cold or too hot, it is obviously a sunny summer, and the sun is not too hot to bear, it feels really good.

Of course, the Muki police department who was attacked should not feel very well now.

"That's right, the Mumu police department is still in the police hospital for rescue. I followed Uncle Kogoro to visit. I heard that apart from the trauma and blood loss, it's not life-threatening." Conan said on the phone, "However, according to Bai Officer Bird and Officer Takagi described the statement that there was no valuable clues in the place where the Meguro Police Department was attacked, only with the arrow of the crossbow, which was penetrated by the arrow, and a **** poker cards."

"Poker?"

"King of hearts, the back is an ordinary checkered pattern, and the front is an abstract painting of Charlemagne that is commonly seen on ordinary playing cards, the one with a sword and no beard on his lips."

Guan Dounan recalled in his mind that among the playing cards he had seen before as a clerk in a board game store, except for those with brand logos or other things, the characters on the playing cards with the same K and different suits were also different. . The characters on the King of Hearts are indeed beardless.

After learning some knowledge related to divination and using it as a facade, he also learned that the characters on the four-color JQK playing cards are all famous kings, queens, heroes and the like in history. In addition to being said to be Charlemagne, the K of Hearts is also printed by Louis XIV.

"Could it be..." Guan Dounan pondered.

"Yes, I suspect it is a new stand-in. If the Mumu Police Department did not have hallucinations, then the 'mysterious man with a sword' he saw is probably related to Charlemagne on the card." Conan Whispered, everything is possible with the ability to substitute, so he also let go of his imagination, made bold assumptions, and then carefully verified it.

"Is it the ability to summon the characters on the playing cards? Or the ability to obtain power from the legends of the playing cards, or..." Guan Dounan flipped the five-yuan coin in his hand. There is still too little information now, and it is not the time to use the ability.

"It's not clear at the moment, there is only so much the police department has to tell. However, considering the set of poker cards, and the symbols of serial crimes that often appear in mystery novels, I have a bad hunch. …”

"Complete set... don't tell me..."

Guan Dounan immediately understood what Conan wanted to say. The poker is a complete set, with four groups ranging from A for 1 to K for 13, plus a total of fifty-four cards. Only one of them has appeared now. Who can say that there will be no more related cases in the future?

Today, a king of hearts has already sent the senior criminal police officer Mumu to the hospital for rescue. What about the next card? Will they cause more serious cases and lead to more deaths?

"I understand. I'll ask Xiao Ai first to see if she knows if there are similar stand-ins in the organization. Then I'll try it with my abilities to see if I can get more detailed information."

Today is a day off. Basically, Xiao Ai, who is not suitable for traveling every day, naturally did not go out, but stayed at home and read some magazines. Although she knew that Bai Gan and a cold could make Conan return to the adult's body for a short time, what did she have now? There are no research materials, and even if you want to make an antidote, you can't do it.

Moreover, their current situation is ultimately affected by the ability of the substitute. As an old magician said, "use magic to defeat magic", and the solution has to fall on the substitute. For example...to completely defeat the boss of the organization.

"No, at least as far as I've heard, the organization should have no stand-ins related to 'poker'." After listening to Guan Dounan's message and recounting what happened to the Mumu Police Department, Xiao Ai gave answered negatively.

"The closest substitute ability I can think of is a character in the organization. His ability is to bring 'paper' objects into reality by sacrificing his own or others' organs and lifespan, but those things must be the world It has nothing to do with other stand-in abilities—simply put, it is not an ordinary item that is magical." Xiao Ai thought while holding her chin, "Besides, his ability is very weak, and he can't even 'hold' precious metals. Come out and create a 'person' directly... It should be impossible."

"That should look brand new, a stand-in messenger we've never seen before~www.novelbuddy.com~ Guan Dounan nodded, "Then, I'll use my ability to see other information about him. "

"Although rationality tells me that it is best to wait for him to create a few more related cases, obtain more relevant information and use the ability, in order to obtain the maximum effect. But..."

"Okay, okay, what else are you explaining to me?" Xiao Ai waved her hand with an impatient look on her face, "Hurry up and summon your criminal-like double, and then go after another criminal. "

"Uh... well."

Xiao Ai watched Guan Dounan take out a coin, ready to activate his ability, and sighed calmly.

Since the first time this guy rushed into the bathroom recklessly and said he wanted to help her, and did so after that. Xiao Ai can be said to have a thorough understanding of Guan Dounan's character, and there is no need to doubt it.

"Jingle bell bell..."

Just when Guan Dounan was about to call out Xiao Hei and activate his ability to explore more information about this mysterious stand-in, his phone suddenly rang. He picked it up and saw that it was Conan calling again.

"This..." Guan Dounan frowned and pressed the answer button.

I just made a phone call not long ago, and Guan Dounan had already told him that he would use his abilities after asking Xiao Ai, and tell Conan the result. If it's not a very important thing, I think he won't call.

"Senior Guan, just now, Uncle Kogoro's wife, lawyer Fei Yingli, also had an accident. Besides, there was a poker card of Queen of Clubs at the scene!"

Conan's voice was a little unstable, and he seemed to be running. And what he said also made Xiao Ai and Guan Dounan stunned.

Did the second victim appear so soon?
