176 The duel between the witch and the psychic master
"Even if I am suffering from lovesickness and crying alone every day, as long as I believe in him and wait for him, my dream will come true."
Maria Toda said with a little seriousness.
"Really?"
Hearing this, Xiaolan, as a party concerned, couldn't help but hold her cheeks with her hands, and lowered her head a little shyly.
At the same time, Conan, who didn't care much about Ms. Toda, couldn't help but feel a little shy when he saw Xiaolan's reaction after listening to Ms. Toda's palmistry for her, and a faint flush appeared on his face-
"Orchid ......"
With such a thought in his heart, Conan couldn't help but be stunned for a moment when he was doing the question, but then Conan still thought a little indifferently-
"This aunt is talking nonsense......
Because, from the moment the other party looked at Maori Kogoro's palmistry and said that divination, Conan felt that the other party must be a liar-
After all, no matter what, Mori Kogoro is now a famous detective in the limelight, so when there is a family affair about a famous detective, as long as you have the heart to investigate, it is easy to know the fact that he is separated from his wife.
Therefore, it is not difficult to say this even without relying on the so-called palmistry fortune telling.
As for Uncle Maori's penchant for beauty, it's easier to know.
Therefore, the so-called fate of Kogoro told by this Toda lady watching Kogoro's palmistry is completely a common method used by those so-called fortune tellers-
As long as you understand the other party's experience in advance, and then tell it in such a godly way, you will definitely be able to deceive some people.
As for what she said to Xiaolan just now, it is estimated that she is using the Barnum effect, just using the kind of language that is universal, using some ordinary, vague, and broad adjectives, which makes it easy for people to bring themselves in, so as to think that what the other party said is very accurate.
It's just that Ms. Toda's words are more appropriate for Xiaolan......
Thinking like this, Conan couldn't help but shake his head, and thought about what Ms. Toda said when she grabbed her before entering the door, it was just the same way-
After all, who doesn't have a secret!
So, just like that, when the waitress Iwai Hitomi served out the supper everyone ate about the same, because of the essence of this event, everyone was actually a competitor, so after the short and harmonious atmosphere of the meal, everyone went back to the house and prepared to do the question.
However, when Kogoro, Xiaolan, and Conan came to the big room arranged for the three of them, looking at the camera hanging on the wall, Kogoro and Xiaolan couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable, looking at the camera that monitored the situation in the room.
Conan, on the other hand, began to work on the 1,000-question questionnaire after returning to the room.
In this situation, until four o'clock in the morning, Conan was still doing the questionnaire alone, and he was still enjoying it. And Xiaolan, who also couldn't sleep, looked at Conan, who was still doing the question, and couldn't help but ask with some concern:
"Conan, you haven't slept yet, have you? It's four o'clock!"
However, Conan, who turned a deaf ear, was only immersed in the successive Sherlock Holmes questionnaires, completely unaware of the passage of time.
In this regard, looking at Conan's fascinated attitude, Kogoro, who also couldn't sleep, looked at the monitor above his head depressedly, and complained:
"Really...... There was no TV, no newspaper, not even a telephone. And the weather is still so stuffy, there is no air conditioning, only a monitor...... What's so fun about this kind of place?"
Having said that, having chosen to stay here, Kogoro can only wait helplessly until the end of this event......
……
And compared to Conan's experience at the "McCroft Hotel" on this day, on the other hand, in the wise house, Gao Yuan's life was not pleasant-
"It's true that after going to the fortune teller, Sister Hongzi's necklace disappeared. But I don't know exactly when I lost it."
Xiao Wai responded to Gao Yuan's doubts in this way, and after saying this,
Xiao Ai sat on the sofa with her legs hanging together, and at the same time her hands were clasped in front of her, her expression was a little unhappy.
In this regard, looking at Xiao Ai's reaction after saying this, Gao Yuan couldn't help but feel a little strange, so he asked curiously:
"What happened when I went to the fortune teller?"
In the face of Gao Yuan's inquiry, Xiao Ai did not respond, but Koizumi Hongzi on the side replied with a mysterious smile:
"Nothing special happened, except that we met Miss 'Psychic' who also came to investigate this divine fortune teller."
"Huh?"
Hearing the title of "psychic matchmaker", Gao Yuan couldn't help but be surprised by surprise, and then asked rhetorically as if seeking verification:
"Jotsuka Emerald?"
"Hey......
Slightly cold, Xiao Wai turned his head and replied:
"Seems like that's the name, right......
As he spoke, Xiao Ai looked at Koizumi Hongzi beside him and added, "Sister Hongzi".
In this regard, Koizumi Hongzi also hugged his hands in front of him and said with a slight meaning:
"That's right, Shirotsuka Jade. The little girl who drugged you at Dorobica Amusement Park before. If it weren't for me, you'd have been kept in the dark by that little girl!"
And hearing this Koizumi Hongzi mention this, Gao Yuan couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, and said helplessly:
"Miss Koizumi, let's get down to business......
"...... in a nutshell"
In this regard, seeing that Gao Yuan deliberately diverted the topic, Koizumi Hongzi couldn't help but cover his mouth and chuckle, and then said:
"After meeting the fortune teller's methods yesterday, I made an agreement with the 'psychic' lady to see who could unravel what her fortune tellers were so accurate. Then, when I came home in the evening, I found that the necklace I had brought out during the day was missing...... So, since you're at home today, it's up to you to help me get it back."
Saying this, Koizumi Hongzi's eyes couldn't help but look at Xiao Ai beside him, for what happened yesterday, since he chose to help Xiao Ai keep it secret, in the end, Koizumi Hongzi still didn't tell the specific details of the situation-
"It's surprising that there are signs of death at such a young age......
Yesterday, in front of the booth of the fortune teller near the Mihua Municipal Building, Koizumi Hongzi and Xiao Ai, who had already made an appointment here with all the members of the Young Detective Group, under the witness of Koizumi Hongzi and Shirotsuka Jade, looked at the female fortune teller who was over forty years old, looked at Xiao Ai's palmistry, and said with a surprised face:
"Your lifeline was broken when you were about twenty years old!"
"Huh?"
Even if rationally, Xiao Ai didn't believe the words of this fortune teller, but when he heard a bad assertion about his fate, Xiao Ai couldn't help but show a surprised expression in some panic-
At the same time, intuitively, Xiao Ai also knows that such an assertion may not be an impossible thing......
"Soon, there will be a disaster on the other side of the sea, so be careful......
In this regard, looking at Xiao Ai's palmistry, the fortune teller himself couldn't help but show a somewhat surprised expression......
