Conan: I Am Not a Snake Spirit

"Our hot spring here is very effective in treating diseases like sore shoulders," the proprietress led the way to the hall at the end of the corridor, and introduced with a smile, "there is the living room in front."

Mao Lilan's eyes lit up when he saw the people sitting in the hall ahead, "Hey? Isn't that lady Zhizhi Huili who specializes in writing romance novels?"

'Eri' and 'Eri' are pronounced the same in Japanese.

Mori Kogoro froze when he heard that, the travel bag in his right hand fell and hit his foot. The next second, he grinned in pain and jumped on the spot, "It hurts! It hurts!"

Mao Lilan was helpless, "Dad..."

In the living room, a group of people sat around the coffee table and drank tea on the sofa.

Hearing the movement made by Mori Kogoro, the middle-aged man in the main seat and wearing a dark gray suit raised his head, and the four women on the left and right sofas turned their heads, and even the young woman standing next to the middle-aged man stopped. Appreciate the snow, look back.

quiet.

"Ah," the middle-aged woman wearing glasses whispered, looking at Kogoro Mori, "Are you..."

The middle-aged man on the main seat put down his teacup and got up.

On the sofa on the right, the woman with long black hair and the woman with short brown curly curly hair got up almost at the same time.

The middle-aged woman was taken aback with the other two women.

Standing up in unison...

Is it a little too exaggerated?

"Mr. Chi?" The middle-aged man walked forward quickly, and stretched out his hand towards Chi Feichi in surprise, "I didn't expect to see you here!"

Chi Feichi reached out to shake hands with the middle-aged man, and after withdrawing his hand, he turned his head and introduced to Kogoro Mori who looked puzzled, "Mr. I met him twice in the company, Mr. Bando, this is the tutor, the famous detective Mori Kogoro."

"It turned out to be Mr. Kogoro Mori, a famous detective," Hantou handed Kogoro Mori a business card with both hands, "I have long admired your name!"

"Hahaha, where is it?" Mori Kogoro smiled and took the business card, then turned to look beside him, "Ah, by the way, this is my daughter Xiaolan..."

"Hello." Mao Lilan bowed to say hello.

Chi Feichi looked at Hui Yuanai, "This is my sister-in-law Xiaoai."

"Hello." Hui Yuanai greeted.

Mori Kogoro looked at Conan, "As for this, it is sent..."

Conan: "..."

"This is Conan!" Mao Lilan took the first step, bent down and touched the top of Conan's head to introduce.

"Hello, Uncle." Conan raised his head and greeted obediently.

"Oh, how dare you let everyone stand and talk..." Hantou turned to look at the sofa.

The two women on the right sofa stepped aside, and the two women on the left sofa also stood up, but there was only one main seat, so...

Chi Feichi reached out and took Kogoro Mori's travel bag, "Teacher, you talk, I'll send the things to the room."

"Me too!" Mao Lilan was embarrassed to let Chi Feichi take the luggage back to the room alone, and looked at Han Dongyi, "Sorry, let's excuse me first."

"Where, I'm the one who disturbed everyone," Hantou understood at a glance, and warmly welcomed Mori Kogoro to the coffee table, "Come, Mr. Mori, please sit down..."

Mori Kogoro was also polite, and sat down on the main seat, "Are you guys discussing something before?"

"That's how it is," said Bantokyo, "Our TV station and University Hall Publishing House plan to cooperate, and Ms. Eri Akechi will write a new play for us to release next spring. We are currently discussing it."

To get to the room, you need to pass the living room and turn right. Chi Feichi and Mao Lilan went there with their luggage, and Conan and Hui Yuanai followed behind.

"Hello, Mr. Mori, I'm Riko Honda from University Hall Publishing House," the middle-aged woman handed Mori Kogoro a business card, then looked at the three women sitting opposite each other, and said with a smile, "This play is a narrative The story of three young women who are emerging in various fields, so we intend to use the most active women in all aspects as the blueprint for this drama."

Hantoichi took over the conversation, "This time, we specially invited three graduates of Ms. Laizi's alma mater Wangdao University to come here to discuss together. This is Ms. Shibasaki Asuka, a fashion model who is very active in Paris and New York..."

"Mr. Maori, please give me more advice."

"Hello, it's so beautiful!"

"This is Ms. Anzai Ema, an oil painter who once won an award at the Dongdu Art Exhibition."

"Please advise me a lot."

"Oh... so cute!"

"As for this one, she is Ms. Fukatsu Harumi, a well-known singer-songwriter in the music industry..."

After Chi Feichi and the others turned around the corridor, the conversations in the living room over there could no longer be heard clearly.

Hui Yuanai withdrew her gaze from the back, "Brother Feichi, do you know Miss Shibazaki Asuka and Miss Anzai Ema?"

Mao Lilan and Conan looked at Chi Feichi curiously.

Just now when Han and Tokyo got up together, the two stood up at the same time, looking at Chi Feichi, probably because they recognized Chi Feichi.

Chi Feichi carried his luggage with a calm face, and went to the room, "Maybe when I met, I don't remember."

Mao Lilan was a little confused, "No, don't you remember?"

Conan Banyueyan, at least they are two pretty girls, don't you remember?

"Maybe I saw it at a certain banquet." Hui Yuanai was not surprised, "Sometimes the banquet hall is dimly lit, the guests are dressed more grandly than usual, and women also wear makeup to attend. Sometimes there are many people who need to say hello or respond. , if they only met once or twice without in-depth conversations, and if they see you again later, it's normal not to be able to recognize him for a while, as for them being able to recognize Brother Feichi, it's because Brother Feichi's eye color is relatively rare."

Mao Lilan understood, "So that's the case."

"Then the family background of the two of them should be very good," Conan said, "Brother Chi doesn't like to attend banquets very much, unless it's inconvenient to shirk or the inviter's status is not ordinary, right? The guests invited by that kind of people should have the same background. not simple."

Hui Yuanai added, "But it's not the daughters of those big groups or a consortium, and the family has no cooperative relationship with Brother Feichi's family. They are relatively unfamiliar people."

Chi Feichi: "..."

Don't bother, no matter how you analyze it, he can't remember it.

That should be someone who has no interest, and this time it should be the plot of the long-sleeved kimono case, and the dead seem to be the two eldest ladies among the three outstanding women...

"By the way, what about Miss Shenjin?" Mao Lilan looked forward to seeing Chi Feichi, "Brother Feichi, you should know her, right? The song she composed is very nice, I like it very much!"

Chi Feichi thought about it for a while, "I've heard of it, but I haven't seen it."

The proprietress didn't make a sound to interrupt the four people's conversation. When they reached the door of a room, they opened the door and said, "This is the room you reserved."

This time Mori Kogoro booked a large suite with a living room and two rooms.

There are wooden tables and chairs in the living room, and bright long-sleeved kimonos and belts are also hung on the wooden shelves in front of the wall.

"Wow, there are also long-sleeved kimonos here." After entering the door, Mao Lilan turned her head and asked, "Ma'am, your hotel has long-sleeved kimonos and obi everywhere. Is there any allusion?"

"Because every household in the neighborhood enshrines kimono sleeve gods," the proprietress said with a gentle attitude, put down the hot water bottle, and sat at the table to make tea for several people. "Every family has such decorations, and it is very common here. "

"Xiao Lan, Xiao Ai, which room do you want?" Chi Feichi asked.

"This one inside, with Brother Feichi, Conan and Dad in the room next to the courtyard, the room inside will feel very safe," Mao Lilan asked Hui Yuan Ai, "What do you think, Xiao Ai?"

"I can do it." Hui Yuanai said indifferently.

Chi Feichi took Conan to another room, put down his luggage, and turned the laptop out to charge.

When Mao Lilan went to store her luggage, she was still chatting with the proprietress, "Can I wear a kimono here? Are there any taboos? I want this child to put on a kimono and take her outside for a stroll."

"Don't worry about wearing it," the proprietress smiled, "There are no taboos."

Chi Feichi dug out a sealed plastic bag from the luggage bag, sent it to the next room, and put it on the floor, expressing his support for Mao Lilan with actions.

"Is this the set?" Mao Lilan picked up the bag, looking forward to smiling at Hui Yuan Ai, "Xiao Ai, let me change it for you~"

Haibara Ai:"……"

Suddenly I feel that Miss Xiaolan's smiling face is a little scary...

"Brother Feichi, wait..." Huiyuan wailed to stop Chi Feichi, and when he saw Chi Feichi turning his head, he felt conflicted, but he still gritted his teeth and pretended to be a shy little girl, "This place is different from Beijing, There is no one here who does not wear kimono, it will be strange for me to go shopping alone..."

"knew."

Chi Fei went out late and helped to close the door by the way.

Haibara Ai:"……"

You say you know it, but you still want her to wear a kimono with actions, right?

It's rare for her to act like a baby, and she doesn't give face... Ruthless!

Mao Lilan hugged the bag and knelt in front of Huiyuan Ai, smiling, "Xiao Ai~"

Haibara Ai:"……"

Conan next door heard Haibara's silence and imagined how dark Haibara's face would be, so he couldn't help laughing.

He sympathizes with Hui Yuan.

Chi Feichi returned to the room, dug out his kimono, and went to the bathroom to change.

Would it be weird to go shopping alone in a kimono? Then there are two people. Anyway, it is impossible for Hui Yuan Ai to let her go just because she wants to show off her cuteness.

Five minutes later, the proprietress left the room.

Conan sat in the living room drinking tea while waiting for the others to change their clothes.

Ten minutes later, Chi Fei came out of the bathroom late.

Conan looked up and froze for a moment, as if a coolness rushed from his back to the top of his head.

Men's kimonos can't be pure white, they were only worn by men during seppuku in ancient times, and the kimono worn by Chi Feichi in front of him is naturally not pure white either.

Although white accounts for a lot, the bed loops under the kimono reveal a grayish blue-purple collar, the belt of the same color, and the same color pattern embroidered under the collar of the kimono. Since it is covered with feathers, he can probably tell It was a crane with outspread wings, and only a small part of the crane's wings could be seen because of the haori.

Although Haori is also mostly white, there are blue-purple petal patterns on the shoulders, and layers of cherry blossoms spread from the shoulders to half of the sleeves.

The overall color of the clothes is concentrated on the upper part, and the sleeves below the elbows and the torso below the waist are all white. Men's kimonos of this color are rare, and there are not many women's kimonos. The original intention of the designer should be 'fresh and diverse' , Let young people try.

Wearing it on Chi Feichi's body, there was no freshness, diversity, and youthful vigor at all. Seeing Chi Feichi walking over, he actually felt that the person in front of him had no warmth at all.

Not lifeless like a corpse, not old and decayed like an old man, not gloomy like a ghost in a white T-shirt at dusk in the old apartment that day.

The clothes are white and luxurious, the manner of the person is stable and casual, but indifferent and cold, ancient and lonely, the sense of distance is too strong, the sense of distance is as strong as...

Inhuman!

Why?

What is going on with that 'terrible' feeling?
