Conan: I Am Not a Snake Spirit

A group of people were full of food and drink, and Yamamura led Numabuchi Kiichiro out of the forest. Only then did he remember that his colleague was still hungry and was looking for people in the forest, but he couldn't help it. The bamboo rice had already been eaten.

Chi Feichi watched Numabuchi Kiichiro being taken into the police car by the police, turned around and said, "My car is parked on the hill, if you squeeze it, it will probably fit you."

The death penalty exists in Japan, and it is executed, and it is not the death penalty by injection, but the execution by hanging.

But the death sentence is very troublesome. Even if Kiichiro Numabuchi has more than one life in his hands, it is estimated that it will take eight or nine years for the death sentence to be pronounced in the final trial, and then he will be imprisoned for a few years before execution.

At that time, Marsh Abyss may not necessarily die, it is impossible to get out, but tonight is not the last time.

After getting into the police car, Kiichiro Numabuchi turned his head to look at the rear window. After seeing the backs of a group of people leaving, he looked away again.

In fact, he wanted to ask who that person was.

Not referring to bounty hunters or other identities, but whether they have any relationship with that organization.

He remembered a beautiful woman standing on a high platform looking at him during training, and he also vaguely remembered earlier that a man sat in a black Porsche passing by them and gave him a sideways glance.

That kind of gaze is exactly the same as that man's condescending gaze in the attic that day.

However, maybe he thinks too much, so he doesn't need to think about it anymore, anyway, it doesn't matter to him in the future.

...

On the way back to Tokyo, Dr. Ari sat in the passenger seat, with five children squeezed in the back seat.

"Mitsuhiko, did you let the fireflies go?" Genta looked at the empty bottle in Mitsuhiko's hand.

It was the small glass bottle that Chi Feichi lent to Guangyan. It was originally used to hold anti-inflammatory medicine.

"I only caught one firefly, and if I take it away, it will be very lonely," Mitsuhiko said seriously, "And we have all seen fireflies, so I just let it go."

"It's fine to let it go back to its companion," Ayumi said with a smile, "It's really cruel to just take it away."

"By the way, thank you brother Chi for lending me the bottle before." Guangyan put the bottle up, "I will return it to you after cleaning."

"No need, you keep it, you can pack things in the future." Chi Feichi said.

There is nothing special about this kind of bottle. You can buy a large box at a glassware counter in a large shopping mall. He originally bought it to hold poison, but now that he has a large glass jar, he doesn't need so many small bottles.

Guangyan hesitated for a moment, thinking that Chi Feichi didn't like to give way to his mother-in-law, and it was just a bottle anyway, so he nodded, "That, that's fine."

The five children chattered about their summer homework again.

The summer homework of Japanese elementary schools generally does not specify the theme. Children can experience and investigate what they are interested in. As long as the results are produced, the homework is considered completed. This homework can be completed by a group of people or alone. Then the teacher will comment on the situation.

The Detective Boys originally seemed to be planning to do case investigations, but before the summer vacation, the five children, at the instigation of Chengzi Kobayashi, signed up for the youth group of a charity tennis tournament in the name of the Detective Boys. The theme of the summer homework is a tennis match.

After discussing for more than an hour, Mitsuhiko's newly recovered voice almost became hoarse again, so Conan stopped, "Okay, when the school is about to start, can't we decide according to the situation?"

"No!" Yuan Tai said with a serious face, "If we want to do case investigation, we have to get in touch with a few more cases as soon as possible, or find a way to receive a few commissions, so that we have something to write when we have to write a report."

Chi Feichi: "..."

Boy detectives don't worry about cases, do they? At least Conan doesn't have to worry.

Conan and the other children were tightly squeezed together, with his right elbow resting by the car window, propping his chin in boredom, and said, "If we can't find a case, we can go to Uncle Maori and ask him if he finds an interesting commission. Bring us along, the theme of doing summer homework with a tennis match is not bad..."

"Genta is worried that he won't get good grades in the tennis competition, so he will be embarrassed to make this competition the subject of his summer homework?" Ayumi smiled and revealed.

"Buzz... buzz..."

Chi Feichi noticed that the phone vibrated in his pocket, and saw that there was no place to park on the side of the road, so he was not in a hurry to answer the phone.

A group of children were still chattering and discussing, not noticing the sound.

Feichi heard a sound, and was about to poke his head into the front seat when Hui Yuanai pulled him back.

"Feichi, don't disturb Brother Feichi's driving." Hui Yuanai warned softly, continuing to pull Feichi around in circles.

Feichi: "..."

It felt that Xiao Ai just wanted to continue playing with it.

"Ah, by the way," Ayumi asked curiously when Hui Yuan Ai mentioned Chi Feichi, "Can brother Chi play tennis?"

"We will go to the tennis court for training tomorrow," Guangyan said, "If Brother Chi is interested, you can go with us."

"I'll go when I'm free."

Seeing that the traffic light ahead jumped to a red light, Chi Feichi slowed down and followed the car ahead to a stop. Then he took out his phone and looked at the call he hadn't answered just now.

The number wasn't saved, but he remembered it was Gin's.

Seeing that there were still more than 20 seconds left before the traffic light, Chi Feichi simply called back the phone.

Usually, Qin Jiu would not call him casually. If he called him suddenly, he should be in a hurry to find him for something.

"Beep...beep..."

The phone rang twice and was connected.

Listening to the soft music over there, Chi Feichi guessed that Gin was probably sitting in a bar, "What's the matter?"

When Qin Jiu heard the voice of the child, he didn't rush to talk, and asked first, "Where are you?"

Seeing that Chi Feichi was on the phone, Dr. A Li turned his head and made a 'shush' gesture to the children in the back seat, and the five children who were discussing the matter immediately fell silent.

"I went to the mountains in Gunma County and just returned to Tokyo." Chi Feichi didn't hide anything.

Gin's voice was still gloomy. Hearing that Chi Feichi had quieted down, he also lowered his voice, "If you want to go back later, please help me go to No. 29, Kabado-cho 3-chome, and see what happened."

"I'll stop by to have a look."

Chi Feichi's tone didn't change.

Sitting in the circle surrounded by the red party and talking on the phone with the black party Gin is very exciting, but as long as you don't call out 'Gin' stupidly as soon as the phone is connected, you should keep your mind calm and calm when you are talking. would know who he was calling.

"Then call me when you understand the situation and there is no one else around you."

Seeing that there was someone beside Chi Feichi, Qin Jiu hung up the phone neatly after talking about the matter.

Chi Feichi put away his mobile phone, and the traffic light just jumped to the green light, and drove to catch up with the car in front.

"Brother Chi, do you have anything to do?" Conan asked curiously.

Hui Yuanai took out his mobile phone to check the time, and reminded, "It's already 9:33 in the evening."

"If you have something else to do, I can take the children back by taxi." Dr. Ali scratched his head with a smile.

"It's okay, but my friend asked me to check if an Italian restaurant in 3-chome is open," Chi Feichi didn't mention much, "You just happened to drop by after dropping off."

The others didn't ask any more questions, and went back to the tennis match.

The five children decided to stay overnight at Dr. Ali's house. After Chi Feichi sent a group of people to Dr. Ali's house, they drove back to Kabado-cho and turned into the Sanchome area on the road.

At the intersection of Sanchome Street, you can see two police cars parked under the building in front of you from a distance.

The police pulled up the cordon, and the police came in and out from time to time, and some people outside were watching the excitement.

Chi Feichi entered a 24-hour convenience store on the side of the road in a police car, picked up a bag of fruit, went to the counter to check out, and bought a pack of cigarettes by the way.

"Cigaronne..." The female clerk turned around to look for cigarettes from the shelf, "Please wait a moment, I think there are some, but very few people bought them, and they didn't put them outside."

Chi Feichi did not urge, "Is the Italian restaurant across the street still open?"

He didn't just look for the corner of the street. There is really a good Italian restaurant in this area, and it has been closed for two days.

Regardless of whether anyone came to investigate his whereabouts tonight, it could match his previous excuse.

"That Italian restaurant on the street? It seems to be closed two days ago because of debt problems. It opened yesterday," the female clerk anxiously rummaged through the counter, sweating. "But I don't know if it will close again. ..."

"It's okay to look for it slowly, don't worry," Chi Feichi said in relief, and then asked, "Is something wrong here? I see a police car downstairs in the building over there."

That building is No. 29, 3-chome.

The female clerk breathed a sigh of relief, continued to search for cigarettes, and said in a low voice, "I heard that someone died in that building, the president of a real estate agency, and the owner of the Italian restaurant you asked , even his son-in-law, after such a thing happened, I don’t know if his restaurant can continue to operate, because I heard that although the president is very rich, he didn’t give his son-in-law any support. Mr. Arima of my boss is still in debt..."

Chi Feichi looked outside the glass door of the convenience store, "Can the car pass by now?"

"You can go there, the road over there is quite wide...I found it," the female clerk turned around and put the cigarette on the counter, "Here, here are the cigarettes you want."

Chi Feichi waited for the bill to be settled, went out and drove over, and when passing by the building, he parked the car nearby, lit a cigarette, lowered the car window, and listened to the crowd talking about what happened in the building.

This building is No. 29, 3-chome, and there is a sign of "Otsu Real Estate Agency" on the upper floor.

"Did anyone really die?"

"Yeah, when you came, the corpse had just been removed not long ago."

"I heard that a thief who broke through the empty door killed the president of this company..."

"It's terrible."

"So the doors and windows must be locked..."

"Has the murderous thief been caught?"

"The police seem to have arranged to arrest..."

After listening for a few minutes, Chi Feichi had a rough idea of ​​when the body was found and when the police arrived. He just pressed his cigarette butt and was about to leave when he saw Mu Mu Shisan and a man who seemed to be the building manager coming out. , simply said hello.

"Officer Meguro."

Mu Mu Shisan heard someone calling him, turned around and saw Chi Feichi in the car, and was taken aback.

How did you meet the God of Plague again?

"Brother Chi? Why are you here?" Mu Mu Shisan walked to the front of the car speechlessly.

"I was passing by on my way home and saw a police car parked here." Chi Feichi didn't intend to get out of the car and looked at the building. "I heard from other people that someone was killed here..."
