Conan: I Am Not a Snake Spirit

On the beach, Hattori Heiji and Conan squatted together, frowning and staring at the sand.

Hui Yuanai followed Chi Feichi and walked forward, "Have the traces been destroyed by the murderer?"

"It was destroyed a lot," Conan said with a slightly relaxed expression, looking at the traces on the beach, "but he missed the traces where Brother Chi pressed the cloth."

Hattori Heiji shined a flashlight on the line pressed on the sand, "The indentation on the edge of the cloth ruler is quite obvious, which can also prove that he did use that technique."

"The last one to leave the beach..." Conan tried to recall.

"The murderer is Mr. Dadong," Chi Feichi answered directly, "He is the 'Brother Chiyo' that Miss Xiaodu once wrote, that is, the former housekeeper of the mayor's family."

Hattori Heiji and Conan looked at Chi Feichi in surprise.

"Xiao Ai said that there are no 'Chiyoge' and 'Kassan' under the chairs in the living room, only 'ママ', 'I', and 'Mr. Sitting somewhere like that..." Chi Feichi said, thanking Hui Yuanai and Fei Chi for giving him this clue in advance, and he didn't have to find a way to look at the chairs in the living room.

Hattori Heiji stroked his chin, "So, since entering the door, Mr. Dadong has indeed been standing at the door and didn't sit down, probably because of his habit."

"Besides, he said that he only saw the island from a distance at sea," Conan also said, "but when he entered the house to smoke, he opened the cupboard very skillfully, and he seemed to know the house very well."

"Also, Miss Xiaodu's nickname is based on Japanese cities," Chi Feichi continued, "The pattern below Kasang should be a crow, because the beginning of かぁわやん is pronounced the same as the crow かぁ, referring to It is the dark Matsumoto Castle called Ujo Castle, which refers to the maid Matsumoto Yoshiko who was killed by robbers four years ago, and "Chiyoko" refers to Edo Castle, also known as Chiyoda Castle, which is a large city built in the east. , corresponding to Mr. Dadong's surname Dadong, originally she should have wanted to remove the "jiang" in Edo Castle, and only use the homophonic "loach" of "hucheng" to call Mr. Dadong "Mr. Loach". There was a painting of loach on the door of the house, and then the name was changed to 'Brother Chiyo'..."

Hattori Heiji frowned, "Then he killed Ms. Heiliang because..."

"Five years ago, the gang of robbers kidnapped Miss Xiaodu. Four years ago, the gang of robbers stole the mayor's golden screen and killed the maid Kako Matsumoto," Chi Feichi said. "Then, they will take the golden screen where to put it?"

Conan's eyes lit up, "The bandit gang won't be able to sell it even if they got the golden screen. They can only put it in a box and sink it into the sea with an anchor. Ms. Hirara is a member of the bandit gang. She dives to find the golden screen!"

"In this way, Mr. Dadong killed Ms. Hirara to avenge Ms. Koto and the maid Ms. Matsumoto?" Hattori Heiji said.

"Miss Xiaodu is not dead," Chi Feichi corrected, "Miss Pingliang is Miss Xiaodu."

"What?!" Hattori Heiji was surprised.

Chi Feichi didn't rush to explain, but said, "Mr. Dadong mentioned 'Urashima Taro' many times, you should know the legend of Urashima Taro..."

Legend has it that Urashima Taro was a kind fisherman who was invited to the Dragon Palace as a guest because he saved the tortoise in the Dragon Palace, and received hospitality from the Dragon Lady Otohime.

Before parting, Longnu gave him a jade box and told him not to open it.

After Urashima Taro returned home, he found that the village had changed drastically. His family and people he knew had disappeared. He opened the box, and the white smoke from the box turned him into an old man.

Just when he was frightened by his own change, he turned into a white crane again and flew into the sky.

It turned out that although he had only spent a few days in the Dragon Palace, hundreds of years had passed on the ground. His relatives and friends all died of old age one after another, and the jade box preserved his youth, so that his youth would not be worn away by time. , he couldn't resist curiosity and opened the jade box, so he couldn't live forever.

This is a Japanese myth and legend, similar to the Chinese "Yugong Yishan". Many people have heard of it and can tell the story roughly.

"Combining that this Shipura Island is called Ghost Turtle Island because of its resemblance to a sea turtle, 'Princess Sleeping Nai Jia Fei Yi' means that the princess is not with Otohime, that is, not in the underwater dragon palace, but on the turtle shell, It is also on this island," Chi Feichi continued, "I remember it was said in the report that there was an egret painted on the golden screen, in the way Miss Xiaodu nicknamed it..."

"The city called Egret Castle is Himeji Castle," Haibara Ai took over the words, "Ji, which refers to the princess, and the gang of robbers will use the nickname of Miss Xiaodu to name the screen, which proves that they have the same name as Xiaodu. Miss Du has an unusual relationship."

Chi Feichi began to restore the cause and effect of the whole incident.

"Five years ago, Miss Xiaodu's kidnapping should have been planned by her alone, but the mayor refused to pay her ransom, so she disappeared."

"Four years ago, Miss Xiaodu led others to steal the mayor's favorite screen and accidentally killed the maid Ms. Matsumoto on the way, but the mayor also refused the screen's ransom, so the gang of robbers put the screen in a box and sealed it. Attached to the anchor, sank to the bottom of the sea, intending to retrieve it after the matter is over."

"A year ago, a member of the gang of robbers went diving here to find the box, but encountered a typhoon, and the waves knocked the box to the island. Before he died, he left a code and told his companions that the screen was no longer in the sea, but It's on the island."

"Because Mr. Dadong is familiar with Miss Xiaodu's way of giving people nicknames, after hearing the code, he guessed that the 'princess' refers to the golden screen, and he unlocked the meaning of the code and asked the TV station to do the program."

"Because if the robber gang knows that many people will come to Funura Island, they will definitely not be able to sit still. They will worry that the screen will be discovered by others, and they will find a way to sneak into the program group..."

"Afterwards, Mr. Dadong also got involved in the program group, and then gave the key of 'Taro Urashima'."

"Ordinary people don't know that 'princess' refers to the screen and is an object, and they don't know that the screen was originally hidden in the sea. It is difficult to solve this code, but as a member of the bandit gang, Ms. The words left by my companions mean that the screen was on the island, and I found it, but was killed by Mr. Dadong who was ambushing there."

In fact, the 'Dragon Palace' mentioned by Mori Kogoro before was similar to the 'Urashima Taro' suggested by Daito Mikhiko. He thought that Mori Kogoro had already solved the puzzle.

Even if it is not solved, the story told by Mori Kogoro is not far from the truth.

That man really came to look for 'Princess', and he left a message to tell others: 'Princess' is in place A, not place B.

Let Mori Kogoro continue to think along this line, maybe he can really guess that the "princess" is not on the island in the sea according to Urashima Taro's legend.

Although Mori Kogoro doesn't necessarily know what the word "princess" refers to, but if he can think of those, it's half the battle.

This is also the reason why he is eager to push the plot and collect clues.

My own teacher really can't afford it!

Hattori Heiji also thought of this, sweating, and soon thought of another question, "But Mr. Daito let the ship go away and leave us here, which means..."

"He still has someone he wants to kill!"

Conan and Hattori Heiji looked at each other, and they ran away again.

"They are really energetic," Hui Yuanai yawned, and came here by car early in the morning, swimming and running around the island, she was tired from running, "They already know Mr. Dadong's next Who is the target?"

"Mr. Kume."

Chi Feichi turned his back to the sea, took out the cigarette case and lighter from his coat pocket, took a cigarette and lit it, "He was startled by the portrait of Miss Xiaodu before, which means he knew that Miss Pingliang was Miss Xiaodu , I mistakenly thought that Ms. Hirara who was killed has returned as a ghost."

A wisp of pale white smoke floated up into the sky, and was quickly dispersed by the sea breeze and drifted away.

"Gah-!"

A black figure hovering in the sky smelled the faint smell of tobacco in the air, turned its head and swooped down towards the two vague black figures on the coast, and its sharp and sharp cry echoed in the night sky.

Hui Yuanai was taken aback, and quickly looked up.

Feichi also straightened his head to look, smelling the familiar smell in the gust of wind, he was overjoyed, "Feimo!"

Chi Feichi raised his arm, allowing Feimo who swooped down to rest on his arm.

"Master!" Feimo screamed again, resting his head on Chi Feichi's sleeve and rubbing his head, "I finally see you!"

Chi Feichi: "..."

He also wanted to sigh with emotion that he finally saw Feimo.

But what happened to Fei Mo's mental breakdown?

"Fei Mo?" Hui Yuanai also saw the red pupils of the black crow clearly through the weak light.

Feimo was still yelling 'quack, quack, quack', confiding to Chi Feichi, "You don't know how I got here these days, I can only eat small fish, drink sea water, and occasionally go to land to explore, I also need to find a way to prepare a little water to drink. When I traveled across the sea, at least there were human boats to sit on, human beer and food to eat. This time I flew for a long time before I could stay on Feili’s dorsal fin for a while , the wind and the rain and the sun, if not for the two boats I met on the road, I wouldn't even see the shadow of the apple..."

"Did it fly here by itself to look for you?" Hui Yuanai took a closer look and found that the fur on Feimo's body was not as shiny as before. He stretched out his hand to touch it, and there seemed to be some hair on the abdomen still stuck together by brown lumps , "It seems to be blood, is it injured?"

In her opinion, Feimo, whom she hadn't seen for a long time, suddenly appeared on an island far away from Tokyo. It was probably because Chi Feichi didn't tell Feimo before he left, and Feimo had worked so hard to chase him all the way. Chi Feichi screamed, accusing Chi Feichi of his irresponsible behavior.

Distressed.

Feimo was so black and shiny that his hair became dim after chasing.

Chi Feichi bit the cigarette, turned Feimo over, and took a look at the hair, "No."

Feimo who was turned upside down: "Master, I'm fine, it's fish blood..."

If you don't turn it back, it will almost congest the brain.

As soon as Chi Feichi let go, Feimo quickly flapped his wings and flew towards the sea, "Master, Feili is waiting for me over there, I'll go over and tell it first, by the way, there is a boat going to the seaside." Floating here, there is a bloody male corpse hanging on the boat..."

"Why?"

Seeing Feimo flying away again, Huiyuan was a little surprised, and turned to look at Chi Feichi, "Is it mad at you..."

"boom--!"

A ship crashed into the pier, and the loud noise of the collision interrupted Haibara Ai's words.

Soon, Hattori Heiji and Conan, who had just run into the lighted cabin, ran out again.

Haibara Ai:"……"

These two have had a really hard day today.
