Chapter 148: Rashomon Opens (Conan Chapter I, Finale)
As he put his phone away, there was a shock.
Ogata looked at the phone's display, and it was an unread message. But strangely, the number displayed is an unfamiliar email address that he did not deposit in the message function.
"Do you have time to eat with me? Reika Shitsui. ”
Seeing the name of the inscription, Ogata remembered the young lady who insisted on wearing a red evening dress and was almost killed by Takashi Ichieda. The impression of her not only does not stay at the level of friends, but also very bad that his number is that when he leaves, this woman is going to go.
After thinking about it, Ogata put the phone directly in his pocket and ignored the woman who asked him to eat for no reason. Because he is principled in making friends, and if he doesn't like the eye, he is basically not worth making friends. And the definition of this is taken from the details of various aspects.
Ogata and Ikawa said that they had something to deal with, and the latter, of course, would not stop him, and continued to sit in his chair and read the newspaper.
During this time, there were no cases involving the autopsy, so the two of them were happy. Yi Chuan's hobby is drinking tea and reading newspapers, which is also in line with his age. Ogata, on the other hand, usually uses a computer to browse the web to mark the time.
took the elevator to the forensics department, and after saying hello a few times, he directly found a colleague from the forensics team who had met last time and felt good, and handed him the agreement signed by the deceased's family with him.
"Ogata, did you really buy that jade pendant, I heard that this kind of thing is very evil?" The colleague was clearly enthusiastic and looked for a topic.
In the agreement that Ogata gave him, the amount of three million was not disclosed, so he did not know the value of the jade, and Ogata would pay so much money to buy a piece of jade worn by a dead man.
Ogata smiled slightly: "It looks like I like it, so I bought it." A forensic doctor like me doesn't mind that. ”
"That's right. Who doesn't know that Ogata, the forensic doctor of our Metropolitan Police Department, is an expert in using corpses to solve crimes! The colleague praised with some admiration.
The two went to the locker of the forensics department, and the colleague who knew him well looked through a large series of keys connected to the steel plate in his hand, and then found the corresponding number and opened the drawer.
"Well, this is the jade pendant you saw last time. It's jet black, I don't know about antiques, and it stands to reason that the green ones should be better. I have some information about other antiques involved in the case, do you need to know about it? He thought that Ogata was greedy for cheap things when he bought the dead man's things, and kindly reminded him.
Ogata shook his head, took out the black jade pendant with a hint of coldness from the drawer, and said with satisfaction, "That's it, because I like this style, so I'm sure to take this piece away." I'm sorry for you, thank you. ”
"You're welcome, it's not the same department, but your rank is higher than mine. And we help each other, obviously, as we should. He said cheerfully.
"The archival record of this jade pendant"
Ogata hesitated for a moment and said slowly. After all, he is a police officer, and it is better to handle some things properly.
"It will be written on the file that the family of the deceased will take it personally. As long as you're sure that no one will come looking for this piece of jade again, there's no problem. ”
Ogata returns to his office with the black Kadama and makes sure that Ikawa is still reading the newspaper, and he quietly locks the door.
I glanced at the clock directly across from my desk, and it was 10:27 a.m.
Before lunch, he had to find out what the connection between the jade pendant in his hand and the Rashomon shown in the information was.
The black jade pendant has not changed in any way from the last time I saw it, and it is still clearly visible with the door pattern and outline, as well as the strange touch of the gang qi when you hold it in your hand.
"Rashomon is divided into three parts, humans, ghosts, and gods!" In Ogata's mind, this sentence was clearly contained.
But all the ancient books he had read, or the literature related to exorcism, did not explicitly implicate these three terms. Because man is a life that can be seen everywhere in this world, and ghosts are beings that only people like him can capture and feel
As for God, he doesn't know if there will be high-level individuals in novels and film and television dramas.
This jade pendant, carved with the pattern of Rashomon, is very delicate and exquisite, and it is very appropriate to describe it with a sentence of magic workmanship.
Because it belonged to him at the moment, Ogata used a magnifying glass in the drawer as one of the autopsy tools to map the surface of the jade, magnifying the outline between those textures and images.
"It's not like a human handiwork." It's almost a yes above art.
Ogata put down the magnifying glass and held the jade pendant in his hand, and he could feel the warmth coming from the palm of his hand, it was the first treasure that he had been looking for for so long that could effectively collect the qi.
Because it's the first one, I can't put it down.
And the Gang Qi in it is very thin, it should not be that Yu Pei is innate, it is related to the previous master Teng Ming Gaoshan who died some time ago.
Teng Ming Gaoshan's corpse was accumulated by countless wood ghosts, because the cause of his death was not only the heart attack that could be identified by forensic medicine, but also the Gang Qi of his whole body was drained away, and he lost the hidden power to support life!
Suddenly, Ogata had a bold idea in his mind.
Jade pendant, Rashomon, people, ghosts and gods
Could it be that it is not only able to store Gang Qi, but is really useful for unlocking a special ability?
And the premise of opening the ability is obviously that the master of himself will transport the Gang Qi into the jade pendant, otherwise if there is any secret, it will be reduced to the Teng Ming family for several generations, and it would have been revealed a long time ago.
The only reason for this explanation is that their descendants do not have the ability to transport the gas. And in Teng Ming Gaoshan's generation, although he didn't know where to find the method of using Gang Qi, he used his ordinary Gang Qi reserves to open the jade pendant, directly guided zhì to suck his body dry, and died here.
Therefore, it was a very bold decision for Ogata to open the jade pendant.
If his conjecture is correct, the jade pendant will absorb the Gang Qi, but he is also facing a danger, will his Gang Qi be able to meet the needs of this piece of jade and complete this transportation process?
Once he fails, he will also become the past tense of the owner of this jade pendant, just like Teng Ming Gaoshan's fate.
Ogata leaned back in his office chair, looking at the jade pendant in his hand, his eyes locked on it, thinking, even more than analyzing a case. Because there is no logic at all about gods and ghosts, he will also feel that he has no bottom in his heart.
After a long time, Ogata came up with a solution.
He found silver-white tin foil in his toolbox, which, although it looked ordinary, could block the anger and the qi, and although it would not last long before it would break, it could leave room for the rest of the process.
Once the jade pendant absorbs the qi out of control, he has to drain all his reserves, wrap the jade pendant in tin foil in a short period of time, and try to buy time to get out as much as possible.
Thinking of this, Ogata is really looking forward to what will happen next.
Because the greatest value of getting a jade pendant is to make full use of it.
Moreover, 'Rashomon' is a gate of hell that is involved in ancient Japanese mythology, Buddhist classics and Western theology, and can carry this pattern, not a treasure, but also a magic weapon.
So Ogata carefully placed the jade pendant in his left hand, and the piece of tin foil was placed on the table, ready to be reached at any time.
The silence, the sound of breathing, the turning of the pointer, even the movement of Ikawa drinking tea outside
Every time he uses Gunki, Ogata doesn't tense his nerves as much as he does now, because if he misses the pool, he will get angry and hurt himself.
With a sigh of relief, the jade pendant lay on the palm of his hand, and Ogata's gaze looked at it, condensing sternness and calmness.
Call!
At the moment of the next exhalation, the tattoo on Ogata's back burned instantly, his face was shocked, and his entire arm was accompanied by a large amount of gangqi, which was continuously released, surging towards the palm that wrapped the jade pendant.
Hot, fuzzy air. The thing in front of him wandered, and the black jade pendant was like a greedy baby at the moment when he sensed the approach of the Gang Qi, and began to suck the absolutely pure Gang Qi in Ogata's body.
"Sure enough, it's sucking."
The first high-power operation of the Dinggang gas map.
Ogata felt that the muscles all over his body were contracting, and sweat gradually appeared on his forehead, but he saw that the jade pendant, which was originally black, slowly changed color in the process of absorbing the qi.
It's like the steel forged by a blazing furnace in a blacksmith's shop, from the black color of the first solemn sùmu to the scarlet red!
The qi was constantly conveyed, and the shape of the door of the jade pendant was erratic, and the red color that covered the area of the jade pendant reached half.
So tired, so tired, so painful
Ogata gritted his teeth, for he had seen through and knew that the jade pendant would only be able to unlock some of the secrets that had been born in it once it had reached full red.
Crazy absorption, the red color of the jade pendant moved little by little, and the qi wrapped it, layer by layer, and then kept disappearing, investing, disappearing, investing
Ogata is glad that fortunately, the Immortal Ding Gang Qi Diagram has advanced again some time ago, otherwise with the current demand, he is estimated to have been sucked dry.
There is still a little bit of it, and the area covered by the red jade pendant has reached three-quarters.
You can succeed, as long as you persist and believe!
The symbol on the tattoo on the back is like a tadpole swimming desperately, the degree of swimming accelerates, and the ripples penetrate the air in a circle, and all the qi is condensed in the jade pendant, doing its best for the last piece that is still black.
Seeing that his body was about to be emptied, and it was difficult for Gang Qi to support this degree of absorption, Ogata was making a choice.
Do you want to give up?
His gaze subconsciously looked at the tin foil that had been prepared on the table for a long time, as long as it was covered on the jade pendant and blocked the connection between the two, he could save himself.
But only the area of the little fingernail is still penetrating red.
Ogata didn't stop, he calmly analyzed the degree of absorption, and the remaining area now, as long as the calculation was not biased, he could successfully complete the opening process.
Every second is torment, like the heart hanging in mid-air.
When the whole jade pendant was shrouded in red light, Ogata gasped for breath with relief, the tattoos on his body stopped working, and his forehead was unconsciously covered with beads of sweat, and his face was a little pale.
Fortunately, he left some Gang Qi to support himself, and as long as he had a day to adjust, he would be able to fully replenish it.
The red jade pendant was steaming, but Ogata didn't feel it, his eyes fixed on the pattern of the door
Rashomon, in a degree visible to the naked eye, slowly opened!
It's really opened, and inexplicable excitement comes up, Ogata knows that his conjecture is right, and it takes a lot of Gang Qi to support it!
The clock ticked, 10:52.
Rashomon, the legendary gate to hell, was completely opened, the light of the jade pendant was dazzling and shining, and a strange aura came to the surface.
Ogata was stunned.
The moment I opened the door, my eyes were filled with words cast by light.
"Triple Rashomon, humans, ghosts, and gods! There are four in the human world, open the second door"
Ogata felt that his whole body was surrounded by these breaths, as if it had been melted, so hot, and his vision was a little blurry and distorted. The archival abstraction on his desk, the abstraction of the drinking glass
Everything becomes unrealistic, the headache is splitting, and the body loses strength uncontrollably.
At the moment when he was about to lose consciousness and the world was spinning, he gritted his teeth and desperately stretched out his hand to touch those things that he couldn't see clearly.
Rumble!
"Open the second door!"
Looking at the street in front of him, which was obviously not in the office, Ogata held the Rashomon jade pendant and stood in a phone booth, looking at it with some shock.
Sober and looking at what he could catch with his eyes!
Drip, drip! The honking of vehicles, the movement of people.
High-rise buildings, prosperity is a little awkward, even terrifying.
Because this is Tokyo, yes, but this is not the Tokyo where he is, but Tokyo, Japan, which has undergone a significant turning point in the 21st century!
"Shiho, Ran, Conan, Uncle Maori"
Ogata looks at this qiē calmly, but he can't erase the imprint and nostalgia of facing that world in his heart. (To be continued...!)
