"That sounds like it scares you a little bit. It's okay, palmistry changes with age. There is still a long time before you turn twenty, and it is possible that the lifeline will be extended during this period. ”

Seeing Xiao Ai's shocked expression, the fortune teller lady still couldn't help but comfort her.

But at this moment, Xiao Ai, who seemed to be frightened, stayed in place a little stunned, but the cold face of "Gin" appeared in his mind-

"Disaster will come on the other side of the sea......

Stunned, Xiao Ai didn't have any reaction for a while to listen to what the fortune teller said next.

In this regard, noticing the abnormality of Xiao Ai's demeanor, Koizumi Hongzi and Shirotsuka Jade on the side didn't care about continuing to observe the fortune teller's reaction, so they stepped forward, pressed Xiao Ai's shoulder, and patted her shoulder twice, and then saw that the fortune teller didn't have much to say, so he comforted Xiao Ai and left the fortune teller's booth first-

"Xiao Ai, you don't have to take this kind of fortune teller's words to heart. People like them will just tell things in a seemingly intimidating tone, so as to find a way to get the other party to pay to change their lives. This is a very common method in this line of work......"

came to sit down on a nearby bench, and looked at Xiao Wai, who seemed to be affected by the fortune teller's inference of his fate, and was a little out of strength, pale and silent.

So, the castle mound jade, who was sitting on the left side of Xiao Ai, couldn't help but show up to say comfort, and Koizumi Hongzi, who was sitting on the right side of Xiao Ai, couldn't help but say:

"yes. Instead of listening to this kind of fortune teller nonsense, let me tell you about the future! Even if your fate is really as the fortune teller said, you are still many, many years away from turning twenty, as long as I am here, I will definitely help you change your fate! ”

However, in the face of the two singing and harmonizing rhetoric, Xiao Wai finally just forced a smile, and his face showed the calm of accepting death calmly, and slowly spit out a sentence-

"But perhaps, that fortune teller is really iron-clad......"

- After all, based on his actual age, he is already about twenty years old, and the fortune teller will be from the other side of the sea......

Since the name of the wine in the organization's code name is all foreign wine, it seems that she did say it in this regard......

Subconsciously, Xiao Ai thought so, so her body felt that she was trembling with no strength at all.

In this regard, Shirotsuka Jade looked at Xiao Ai a little seriously, and asked suspiciously:

"Little Mourning...... Could it be that you suffer from a disease like Progeria? Does Mr. Gao Yuan know? ”

"What nonsense!"

Seeing this, seeing that Xiao Ai was so scared, and Shimotsuka Jade still asked like this, Koizumi Hongzi couldn't help but interrupt sharply, and said to Shirotsuka Jade in a somewhat condescending tone:

"I said, the little girl who calls herself a 'psychic' can't comfort people, so don't talk nonsense if it's okay! If you really have the ability, use your 'medium' ability to expose the fortune teller's methods! ”

"Hmm......"

When Koizumi Hongzi said this, Shirotsuka Jade also pouted slightly unconvinced, but thinking that he was not the opponent of the other party at all in "illusion", he could only give up silently and muttered:

"That's a nice thing to say...... I didn't see how you exposed that guy......"

"What?"

Sensing the mood of the castle jade, Koizumi Hongzi patted Xiao Ai's shoulder to comfort him, and looked at the castle jade with a smile, and said meaningfully.

In this regard, Jotsuka Jade hurriedly changed his words:

"Ah...... I was thinking that such a terrible way of scaring the fortune teller would be justified, but the fortune teller even knew that Xiao Wai often went to the adult women's clothing store and only looked at it and didn't buy it. And judging by Xiao Ai's reaction, this statement should be completely correct, right?

"Even if the fortune teller uses the method of accepting the appointment first and then telling the fortune the next day, there is time to give the fortune teller a chance to understand the fortune teller. But obviously, Xiao Ai made an appointment yesterday, but today the fortune teller can accurately say Xiao Ai's behavior preferences, which is too strange...... Where can she find out about this......

Saying that, Shirotsuka Jade secretly glanced at Koizumi Hongzi, only to see that Koizumi Hongzi's eyes were mainly on Xiao Ai at this time, and Shirotsuka Jade breathed a sigh of relief.

At the same time, the points mentioned by Shirotsuka Jade are also the key to Koizumi Hongzi's concern.

And, I'm afraid that if it weren't for the fortune teller who used these contents as a foreshadowing, I'm afraid Xiao Wai wouldn't care so much about the fortune teller's final statement now.

So, seeing that Xiao Ai didn't seem to have recovered from the fortune-telling results just now, Koizumi Hongzi thought about it and suddenly suggested:

"That's right! It's better to ...... like this."

As he spoke, he saw Koizumi take out a stack of tarot cards from his pocket, and then explained:

"Let me help you calculate your fate! I'll use my divination results to prove that the fortune teller wasn't right at all! ”

After saying this proudly, Koizumi Hongzi shuffled the tarot cards in his hand, and then handed them to Xiao Ai, and said seriously:

"Come on! Empty your mind and body, and then draw three at random! ”

In this regard, Xiao Ai, who was very depressed because of the fortune-telling results, looked at Koizumi Hongzi's serious expression at the moment, so he hesitated slightly, stretched out his hand, trembled slightly, and finally pulled out three of them.

Then, Koizumi Hongzi immediately took those cards, did not change the positive and negative positions, and reversed the card face, and the castle mound jade on the side, looking at Koizumi Hongzi's behavior, also a little curious to come up to see what the cards drawn out by Xiao Ai -

It was seen that these cards were the "Star Coin Knight", the "Empress" and the "Scepter Knight".

And in this regard, seeing that Xiao Ai drew out these cards, Koizumi Hongzi looked at the cards and thought for a while, and then a smile couldn't help but appear on the corner of his mouth-

"You see, the fortune teller is really talking nonsense. Judging from this card, although people's fate will have major twists and turns, but your most important relatives are always by your side, and there are friends who care about you and help you, your life will be very good in the end! ”

Hearing this, looking at Koizumi Hongzi's lightly smiling expression, Xiao Wai couldn't help blinking-

"All the time...... Loved ones by your side? ”

muttered, looking at Koizumi Hongzi's expression, Xiao Wai couldn't help but lower his head, and silently said no more-

"But...... I don't have any relatives for a long time...... Still, thank you, Koizumi Hongko......"

Seeing that Koizumi Hongzi was thinking of ways to make himself happy because of his depressed appearance, Xiao Ai didn't say what he thought was wrong in Koizumi Hongzi's divination just now, but slowly, the low mood on his face gradually eased.

Seeing this, after finding that Xiao Ai's mood was gradually improving, Koizumi Hongzi slightly cocked her blue finger with her right hand, lightly placed it under her lips, and let out her trademark laughter:

"Oh, roar, roar!"

Then, Koizumi Hongzi turned his gaze to the castle jade on the side and asked rhetorically:

"'Psychic Matchmaker' little girl, why don't you also show your ability and give Xiao Ai a divination?"

In this regard, Shirotsuka Jade pursed her mouth slightly, and said impatiently with some displeasure:

"I'm a 'psychic', not a 'fortune teller', not a 'witch', I don't know divination."

After speaking, Shirotsuka Jade hugged his hands in front of him, and looked angry as if he had turned his face away:

"And what are you? Using divination to refute palmistry fortune-telling? If you really want to help Xiao Ai prove that the fortune teller is talking nonsense, then find out the tricks used by the fortune teller! ”

"Oh? Really? ”

Hearing Shirotsuka Jade say this, Koizumi Hongzi proudly covered the corners of his mouth with his hand, smiled "Oh roar roar, roar, roar", and then showed serious and arrogant eyes, looking at Jotsuka Jade-

"So, you're trying to compete with me!"

"That's right!"

Looking very unconvinced, Shirotsuka Jade also simply looked directly into Koizumi Hongzi's eyes seriously, and said very seriously:

"Instead of struggling with 'divination', 'fortune-telling', and 'psychic' that no one can convince anyone, let's compare and see who can find out the fortune teller who has recently begun to be rumored to be accurate, and what tricks she used to achieve the reality!"

As he spoke, Shirotsuka Jade turned his head to look at Xiao Ai:

"Little sorrow! I think if Mr. Takato was here, he would have done the same. You won't die, we'll prove it to you! ”

"Really, really......"

Seeing that Koizumi Hongzi and Shirotsuka Jade in front of them reacted so much because of the fortune telling, and they both wanted to help themselves understand why the fortune teller would say those things so accurately, so as to reassure themselves, Xiao Wai couldn't help but say with some emotion:

"But...... Regarding the result of today's fortune telling, can you, please don't tell Gao Yuan......"

……

Turn your gaze back to the wise house—

Simply told Koizumi Hongzi to Takato about yesterday when he made a duel declaration with Shirotsuka Jade, and kept his agreement with Xiao Ai, and did not tell Gao Yuan about the fortune-telling results that Xiao Ai got from the fortune teller yesterday, but just roughly, the reason why this fortune teller was rumored to be accurate by his fortune teller recently-

"In other words, that fortune teller can even say the celebrity or clothing brand that the guest likes, and he is very specific, so the rumors of this fortune teller are accurate have only become more and more widespread recently?"

After listening to Koizumi Hongzi's explanation, Gao Yuan couldn't help but touch his chin and ponder.

"yes. It's rare to find a fortune teller as accurate as her. ”

Xiao Wai said lightly.

But Gao Yuan shook his head at this and said seriously:

"But it's just too accurate...... The fortune teller was able to tell each guest so specifically that it was as if he had deliberately followed and investigated the other party. However, although she is a fortune teller who needs to make appointments, theoretically speaking, she does have the opportunity to follow up the investigation, but with so many appointments every day, she can't always investigate everything in detail......

As he spoke, Gao Yuan raised his eyebrows slightly, looked at Koizumi Hongzi with a little surprise, and asked curiously:

"So, Miss Koizumi, when did you find that necklace missing?"

"Last night."

Koizumi replied:

"I still carried the necklace with me during the day yesterday, but when I came back in the evening, I found that the necklace in my pocket was missing. I think it may be that the 'psychic' girl took it, after all, although her 'illusion' is not very good, but in terms of magic techniques, it is quite good. ”

"That's ......"

Gao Yuan muttered—

Speaking of which, during the Hama Comprehensive High School Garden Festival, I also felt that the brooch of the "Queen of Swords" should have been taken from me by the Jotsuka Jade God unknowingly, not as she said......

And, then again, if memory serves, the effect of the "Priestess" item seems to have a special effect as long as it is in the hands of women, and it does not require authority to use it......

Thinking of this, Gao Yuan slowly got up from the sofa and said to Xiao Ai and Hongzi:

"In that case, let's go ahead and see the fortune teller today. Anyway, Miss Koizumi, you also made an appointment with Shirotsuka Jade to show you the results of your respective investigation into why the fortune teller was so accurate today! ”

In this regard, after listening to Gao Yuan's proposal, Xiao Ai and Hongzi both nodded, and then drove Gao Yuan's car, and the three of them went to the shopping street next to the Mihua Municipal Building, where the fortune teller set up his stall.

However, when Gao Yuan and the others arrived at the scene, looking at the scene in front of them, everyone was very surprised-

I saw that the shopping street at this moment had been cordoned off by the police, and in the center of the cordon, the stall where the fortune teller was setting up his stall was located.

And the stall has been knocked over by a large bus, and it is obvious that the wreckage of the stall at this time is bleeding all over the ground-

"What's going on?"

Seeing this situation, after noticing that the person in charge of the police under investigation was Officer Twilight in the cordon, Gao Yuan stepped forward to inquire about the situation.

So, after seeing that the person who came was Gao Yuan, Officer Twilight simply told the story-

"Oh, wise brother! To put it simply, when the big bus was reversing on this shopping street, I didn't notice the lady who was setting up a fortune teller over there, and because the lady was telling fortunes with the customer, the fortune teller lady and the guest who couldn't dodge died under the wheels of the big bus......

……

And on the other side, inside the "McCroft Inn", the next day arrived quickly, but also quickly passed.

Because the members who came to participate in this tour group all wanted to get the final prize, the first edition of the rare book of "Blood Character Research", in order to be able to participate in the evening reasoning quiz, everyone almost nested in their own rooms during the day to do the questions, and only three meals in the morning, noon and evening, everyone went out and gathered together to eat.

And so, soon after dinner—

"Good support, good support ......"

After eating dinner with a hearty meal, Kogoro leaned back on the chair with a little satisfaction and said comfortably-

Neither participating in the evening reasoning quizzes, nor being a Sherlock Holmes fan, Kogoro's day here was too boring, but the good food here barely allowed Kogoro to find a little anticipation.

However, the time is already half past nine in the evening at this time, and it stands to reason that according to the arrangement of the innkeeper Kanaya Hiroyuki, it should have been time for reasoning and questioning, but Kanaya Hiroyuki, as the organizer, has not appeared yet-

"But why don't you see the owner of the inn anywhere?"

Toshiaki Fujisawa looked at the clock on the wall and couldn't help but complain.

At the same time, Oki Ayako also took out the answer sheet she had already done and put it in front of the waitress Iwai Hitomi, who seemed to be waiting a little anxiously, and said:

"Tell him to come out and change the exam papers!"

"However, my lord wants me to entertain you until he comes in after dinner......"

Faced with such a request, Iwai Hitomi replied with a little apology, saying that there was nothing she could do about it, and now she went to call Hiroyuki Kanaya out.

In this regard, Ikuo Kawazu on the side quipped:

"I think he must be ready to show up out of nowhere, ready to scare us!"

"It's terrifying!"

Smiling, Maria Toda couldn't help but echo, with a completely joking expression.

"Hey! Kudo didn't come, so I really shouldn't have come on this trip. It's too boring...... isn't it?"

At this time, seeing that the last blockbuster activities of this tour group were about to start, he still didn't wait for Kudo Shinichi to appear, Hattori Heiji propped himself up on the table with one hand, holding his cheek, and thought depressedly in his heart.

However, since Hiroyuki Kanaya never appeared, everyone continued to wait in the restaurant.

Time, in this way, finally passed away in such a minute-by-second wait, until the early hours of the morning-

"Damn! I can't stand it anymore! I'm going back to my room and going to sleep! ”

At this moment, he couldn't bear it anymore, Toshiaki Fujisawa took the case, and he was already angry and didn't plan to wait like this.

But they didn't know that in the hotel garage at this time, the engine of a car was running all the time......
