Conan: I Am Not a Snake Spirit

Chi Feichi folded up the map and installed it, took out his phone, and sent an email to Rum.

[Akai Shuichi met with his companion Shimono 1-chome, the base is near No. 101 street, at least ten people. ——Raki】

After he participated in the investigation, he first confirmed that Akai Shuichi was active in Midoridai, and then followed Akai Shuichi for several days.

Although Feimo and his group of crows are easy to track, he can't directly use the results of the crows to deal with the organization. It's better to run out and investigate by himself, don't play 'don't worry about it, I will check and tell you after the investigation' That kind of mysticism is easy to be doubted.

With Akai Shuichi's sensitivity, it is difficult for others to follow him for several days without being noticed, but he can use several disguised faces, different identities, and different means of transportation provided by the organization to keep following Akai Shuichi closely.

During the past seven days, Akai Hideichi occasionally nestled in Midoridai, and occasionally ran around, almost going around Tokyo. Sometimes he just went for a drive, looked at the scenery, maybe to check if there were any stalkers behind him, and sometimes It was a meeting with a certain FBI at a temporary location, and the stronghold was only found twice.

One is at Miki Bridge, and the other is Shimono tonight, plus the FBI at Midoridai Town, there are more than 20 people in total. This should be the entire staff of the FBI who entered the country illegally this time.

If there are other places, there are only one or two.

In other words, the investigation of the FBI can basically be over, and the rest is for the person in charge of intelligence to infiltrate near the three locations to confirm, and there is no need for him to investigate again.

While waiting for a reply, the crows who reported the situation did not stay long, and flew away one after another. Only Feimo stood on the railing, watching the lights in the distance and blowing the night wind.

Chi Feichi was still leaning against the concrete platform, checking his emails with his mobile phone.

Reiko Shimizu went to confirm the information herself, the guns she wanted had already been delivered, and she confirmed that the action time was April 4th...

He hates people who only post dates.

Feichi peeked at the screen from his collar. It was very good, and it was time for him to solve his master's problems again. "Master, don't count tonight, there are still six days."

Chi Feichi sent an email to Luchuan Saki.

[Estimated time for Reiko Shimizu's action is April 4th, you are watching. ——Raki】

At that time, he should be on the cruise ship, it's not convenient to control him, it's enough for Saki Midorikawa to keep an eye on him.

"Om..."

"Om..."

Two new emails came in one after another.

One was Midorikawa Saki's reply 'Ok', no need to reply.

The other one was from Rum, and it wasn't very detailed.

[Bourbon is rushing to Shimono, and the result of his investigation is that Otaru, Hashiko, Shimono. I am going to release the bait, and it will take about half a month to prepare. ——Rum]

【Ok. ——Raki】

Amuro Toru's investigation results are different from his, which is normal, because Amuro Toru's investigation is the false clue released by Akai Shuichi.

However, Toru Amuro actually found out about this place in Shimono. It is unlikely that Shuichi Akai was negligent at a critical moment. After all, this is a large gathering place. Except for the one-household building used for meetings, the dozen or so people are usually scattered in Shimono. Town.

Then, the place Shimono might have been intentionally released by Hideo Akai.

It is always necessary for the organization to gain a little bit so that the false clues can appear to be real, and there are so many people here that it is impossible for the organization to rush over and be tough, and it can also guarantee the safety of these people.

Once something is done, the people here are probably just smoke bombs, used to mislead the organization's judgment.

Rum should understand this point, so he doesn't need to think about it, just wait for Rum to release the bait and lure the FBI people out to fight.

In addition, you have to check in with that person about sailing.

[Five days later, I participated in the maiden voyage of the Yatsushiro Foundation's cruise ship, and Mori Kogoro went with him. ——Raki】

That one replied quickly:

[Raki, the relationship between the Ike family and the Yatsushiro family is not very good, why do you want to participate in the maiden voyage this time? 】

[Trying to make the God of Plague Kogoro curse them to death? ——Raki】

that one:"……"

Well, there is nothing to say, please feel free.

On the rooftop, Chi Feichi put away his cell phone, and also cleaned up the blood bottle left on the rooftop, cleaning up the traces, "Feimo, ask Xiaomei to tell Yatsushiro Yansaburo..."

"Godfather," Hiroki Sawada said suddenly from the phone, "Grandpa said, I want you to meet Yanzaburo Yatsushiro in person. Although he knows that your identity may cause trouble, you can't just act behind the scenes. When you need to stand up."

"Understood," Chi Feichi cleaned up the traces, "Feimo, let Xiaomei tell Yatsushiro Yanzaburo to go to the seaside park alone, and you should take precautions in advance."

He understood Chi Shinosuke's concerns, but it was nothing more than worrying that he was used to working behind the scenes and would not be able to stand up when he needed to stand up in the future.

In fact, he felt that there was nothing wrong with being behind the scenes all the time. Including Umbrella in the future, other people would only speak to the outside world. He didn't want to be exposed to the eyes of the world. Being stared at would lose a lot of fun.

Umbrella is different from other financial groups and groups. As long as the core of Ark is under his control, he will not lose power.

But it's okay to stand up and try this time, just don't let yourself become addicted.

Anyway, Yatsushiro Yansaburo was being watched to death. If the old man dared to make any small moves, he should solve it as soon as possible.

...

port area.

Yatsushiro Yansaburo wandered around the 24-hour book bar, flipping through a book absently.

Most of the people in this kind of book club are young people, he is not used to it, but here the lights are on 24 hours a day, and people with insomnia often come to fall asleep by reading, so he feels safe here.

He would rather be out of place than stay in a room alone or go somewhere alone.

That ghost is so scary.

And come to the book, he can also find some historical materials to see if he can escape from the persecution of the female ghost...

Xiaomei stayed hidden and heard a crow calling outside the window. She floated out for a while, then floated back, stood behind Yatsushiro Nosaburo, looked around at the people, bent down and approached Yatsushiro Nosaburo's right ear, and whispered Said, "So you like history..."

The lowered voice was soft and slow, and while speaking, wisps of cold breeze hit Yatsushiro Nobuzaburo behind his ears.

Yanzaburo Yatsushiro froze, cold sweat broke out instantly on his back and forehead, and he didn't dare to turn his head to look to the right.

With so many people, they still can't restrain that female ghost!

The female ghost suddenly said that, could it be that his intention was discovered?

Was the female ghost actually warning and mocking him?

"My master wants to see you, so go to the seaside park alone." Xiaomei leaned into Yatsushiro Yansaburo's ear, and straightened up after speaking.

This person is not as courageous as Miss Xiaoai. She already speaks very gently and smiles politely. In order not to cause trouble to others, when staring at Yanzaburo Yatsushiro, she either squats in the closet or under the table. Yenzaburo Yatsushiro was so frightened that he floated his face on the tea in the water cup, how courageous he really is.

Yatsushiro Yanzaburo swallowed his saliva, got up and put the book back on the bookshelf, went to the front desk to pay the bill, dawdled for a long time before going out, then dismissed the bodyguards, and hail a taxi by himself.

He is looking forward to seeing the 'master' behind the female ghost, so that the other party can just say whatever he wants, don't let the female ghost haunt him, he is old and can't stand the toss, but he is afraid, afraid that he will see him later When it comes to a more terrifying scene, I am afraid that the other party's purpose is to kill him, and I am afraid that I will die a miserable death...

In the sky, a crow followed with Xiaomei's main body.

Xiaomei sat incognito next to Yatsushiro Nosaburo until the taxi stopped and Yatsushiro Nosaburo got out of the car, and then she walked around in advance and found Chi Feichi's location.

In the seaside park late at night, colorful lights are hung on the green trees and shrubs.

Properly matched lanterns spell out cartoon images of marine life on the trees and grass.

Since it was past one o'clock in the morning, there was no one on the road, and it was empty and silent, as if there was no one in the supposedly bustling amusement park, only the machinery and the flickering lights continued to operate, dreamy and eerie.

Yatsushiro Yanzaburo walked slowly on the road, looking around, and suddenly saw the female ghost standing quietly under the cherry blossom tree whose branches were wrapped with pink colored lights.

"Mr. Yatsushiro Nosaburo, please follow me." Xiaomei took the role of Chi Feichi's housekeeper, bowed to Yatsushiro Nosaburo expressionlessly, then turned and floated along the road.

Yatsushiro Yansaburo hesitated for a moment, but still followed, with a delicate mood.

The female ghost usually frightened him with bared teeth, but when she got close to the 'master' she called, she behaved so solemnly and respectfully, which made him even more nervous.

Xiaomei floated over the square with colored lights and animal patterns, over the fountain with colored lights, and over the forest path illuminated by colored lights. The pendulum dragged on the ground, erratic, and dragged forward evenly.

Yatsushiro Yansaburo followed behind with his head bowed, raising his head to sneak a glance from time to time.

This was the first time he had looked carefully at the female ghost's clothing.

The twelfth-layer unlined garment is the court dress worn by female officials above the imperial court in the Heian period. "Twelve-layer" is just a name, but in fact there are only nine layers with the skirt.

The clothing on the female ghost in front of me is nine layers, and the outermost jacket is also called "Tang Yi". At that time, "red, purple, and blue" were forbidden colors, and only three or more people who had received amnesty could wear them. The ghost was wearing a purple Tang robe embroidered with patterns of chrysanthemums and peonies.

Moreover, in the early days of Wuyi, there were five layers of clothes of different colors. In the middle and late Heian period, it evolved into a female ghost, who only sewed five layers of fabric on the neckline and back of a shirt.

Immediately, Yatsushiro Yansaburo had a judgment in his heart:

The female ghost comes from the mid-to-late Heian period and has a high status, either a queen or an emperor.

And, silently recall the queens and princesses who died tragically in history at that time.

I just thought about it, but I didn't have a clue, and I also thought of a man——Emperor Chongtoku, who is known as the "No. 1 Wraith" and "Great Demon".

He ascended the throne at a young age, had no real power, was forced to abdicate as the emperor at the age of 23, launched the Baoyuan Rebellion, and was exiled in Sanuki after a failure. It took three years to write the five Mahayana scriptures in blood, and begged the court to send the Buddhist scriptures to the Nayu Temple in Kyoto, but this The request was also rejected, and Emperor Sutoku later committed suicide after making a wish to 'be a great evil in Japan'.

Due to the continuous disasters in Japan after the death of Emperor Shotoku, there was no peace in the government and the public, and it fell into a war that lasted for seven hundred years. It was not until Emperor Meiji enthroned that the spiritual throne was enshrined in the Shiramine Shrine in Kyoto, and it was considered a short-lived peace. , so in the legend, Emperor Chongde is called the "Great Devil" and "The God of Misfortune".

The bizarre experiences in recent days have completely ruined his world view, and he has become more convinced of ghosts and legends. He can't help but start to wonder whether this incident has something to do with the great magic fate in the Heian era, and whether the big magic fate is planning to come back...
