Conan: I Am Not a Snake Spirit

After breakfast the next day, Hui Yuanai went to school with her schoolbag on her back.

Chi Feichi planned to find a place to change his appearance to go to the laboratory, and he also bid farewell to Dr. A Li and left, but before he was out of Mihua Town, he received a call from Takagi She, drove back, and sent an email to Gin by the way.

[I was involved in a murder case, and the meeting was temporarily canceled. ——Raki]

After a while, Qin Jiu called.

"You're not kidding me, are you?"

"It's the strange thing that happened last night. Someone was killed nearby. The murderer seems to be the man who disappeared," Chi Feichi said. "The police asked me to go there. I'm on the way now. I don't know when I can get away."

"...Then wait for your side to solve it before contacting."

"Ok."

In Shibuya District, Gin stood beside the car, staring at his phone and fell silent.

The teasing last night was all teasing. If Lark hadn't been caught, the meal would have been cooked by the time he passed by at noon today, but now...

Why did he say that last night?

No, Lark was probably infected by the plague god Kogoro, and it has nothing to do with him.

...

Rice Flower Town.

Chi Feichi drove to the place Takagi She said and parked on the side of the road.

The police set up a cordon near a house, a police car was parked inside the line, and there were a group of onlookers outside.

Familiar scene, but this time it was Takagi Tsutomu and Sato Miwako who called the police.

The taxi driver arrived before him last night, and the taxi was also parked nearby, talking to Miwako Sato within the cordon.

Gao Mushe saw Chi Feichi come over after parking the car, and took the initiative to meet him, "Mr. Chi, you are here!"

Chi Feichi crossed the cordon and looked at the policemen entering and leaving the family's house, but couldn't tell which incident it was for the time being, "What's going on?"

Takagi became more serious, and said in a low voice, "Mr. Shimura, the deceased, was an old man who lived alone. As for the person who found the body, it was the old man over there. That old man was chess friends with the deceased, and he lived alone Around here, this morning Mr. Shimura hadn't gone to play chess with him at the appointed time, so he came over to check and found the body, and from what he said, Mr. Shimura seemed to have put millions of dollars in cash in the closet , but the money is all gone now.”

Chi Feichi walked towards the gate of Yihujian, "The time of death was last night?"

"That's right," Gao Mushe took out his notepad to keep up, and looked down at the records on it, "The time of death was identified as between nine o'clock and eleven o'clock last night..."

After Miwako Sato confirmed with the taxi driver that it was Chi Feichi who met last night, she turned around and was speechless, "Takagi..."

The scene in front of him looked like Takagi was reporting information to his boss. In this way, Mr. Chi didn't take advantage of them too much... No, Mr. Chi was not from their police at all!

"Ah?" Takagi Tsutomu looked back at Sato Miwako in doubt.

Miwako Sato sighed helplessly. Forget it, Mr. Chi does seem stronger and calmer than Takagi. If she were to chat with Mr. Chi about the case, she probably wouldn't be able to suppress it. In this way, she felt even more regretful, what a pity about Mr. Chi's situation Can't get into the police force.

"Huh?" Seeing Miwako Sato sigh, Takagi became even more puzzled.

"It's nothing," Sato Miwako cheered up, replied to Takagi She, and said to Chi Feichi seriously, "According to the investigation situation, this is a case of robbery and murder. We found the driver. He Said that he drove by around ten o'clock last night and saw a suspicious man, judging from the distance from here, that was probably the murderer who left the scene after robbery and murder..."

"Because he said that there was a handsome young man passing by there last night, he was tall and had a pair of very special purple eyes, so we wondered if it could be you," Takagi She scratched his head and smiled, " That’s why I called you to come over.”

"Mr. Chi, it's too easy for you to encounter incidents," Miwako Sato complained without sighing, and then got down to business, "Anyway, because the suspicious man and the little boy who fell on the ground are still a short distance away from the taxi From a distance, Mr. Driver couldn’t see the man’s face clearly, but only saw that the man seemed to be covering his left shoulder with his right hand, and he was not sure if he was injured. We are investigating at the scene to see if there are any clues or blood left by the murderer.”

"In addition, it was the little boy who fell on the ground at that time. According to our speculation, the boy may have seen the face of the murderer. The driver said that when he got out of the car, the little boy had already run around the car. He only Seeing the back of the child turning around and running into the alley," Gao Mushe looked at the driver, and said to Chi Feichi, "Mr. Chi, at that time you were at the entrance of the alley behind the car, and the child should be running in your direction. Then it turned right into the alley, so we want to ask you, have you seen the child's appearance?"

"That kid was a little distance away from me at the time. He was wearing a white baseball cap and kept his head down. His face was covered by the cap a lot, so I didn't see his face clearly," Chi Feichi said calmly, "About seven or eight years old. , wearing pajamas, slightly taller than Conan, about the same build, looks thinner."

"Is that kid in pajamas?" Miwako Sato looked at the driver.

"Uh, yes," the driver nodded quickly, "I saw that he was wearing loose white patterned clothes, it should be pajamas."

Miwako Sato stroked her chin, "Then it must be the child who lives near here?"

"The children in this neighborhood should all go to Didan Primary School, right?" Gao Mushe analyzed, and looked at Miwako Sato with a speechless expression. Seeing Chi Feichi looking at him, he explained, "We still saw him going to school in the morning. Conan, Xiao Ai and the others sent them to school with great difficulty. If they were to go to Didan Elementary School to find that boy, if they saw it, they would run around with them..."

"Since Didan Elementary School has students living nearby, it might be faster to ask Conan." Chi Feichi reminded.

Looking at it this way, this is still a case in the plot, and that is Conan, the God of Plague, who just happened to meet him by coincidence, and became the backer of the God of Plague again...

...

Didan Primary School.

At noon, the children in class B of the first year were cleaning in the classroom.

Genta, Mitsuhiko, and Ayumi stopped, holding mops, chatting in low voices together.

"I don't know what happened to the incident this morning."

"I don't know if the murderer has been caught."

"Go around and have a look after school!"

Conan stood in front of the window cleaning the glass, listening to the three chatting, and suddenly saw three acquaintances below entering the school, a little surprised, "Huh?"

"What's wrong, Conan?"

The three children leaned over to watch.

"Brother Chi?!"

"And officers Takagi and Sato?"

"They didn't come to school because of the case this morning?"

Hui Yuan Aidu put down the rag and went to the window to look.

Brother Feichi, shouldn't he go back to Kubotocho at this time?

"It seems that there is no need to go around after school." Conan put down the rag with a smile and slipped away.

As soon as Chi Feichi and the three arrived at the entrance of the teaching building, they were blocked by five children.

Takagi and Miwako Sato told what happened.

"So that's how it is," Hui Yuanai stood at the back and looked at Chi Feichi and said, "Last night, the doctor said that the convenience store was closed, and you went to another store to buy soy sauce, but you happened to meet a suspected witness child?"

Conan thought hehe, when Mrs. Kanai came back, Mihua Town was rarely quiet for a while. Just after Mrs. Kanai left, Chi Feichi came to harm Mihua Town again. Buying soy sauce can meet witnesses, so no luck. who.

Huiyuan Aichi raised his head and asked Chi Feichi, "I remember you said last night that you would go to Kyushu today to secretly see the release of Umbrella's new mobile phone in Kyushu, so now...?"

"Before I left Mihua Town in the morning, I received a call from Police Officer Takagi. I went over to check the situation first," Chi Feichi said. "Fortunately, I didn't book a ticket. I will probably go later or tomorrow."

He said last night that he was going to Kyushu was just a pretense. In fact, he needed to disappear for a few days for the assassination operation, but when he encountered a case, he really had to talk about it tonight or tomorrow.

"Hey? Is there something wrong with Mr. Chi?" Gao Mushe said apologetically, scratching his head and laughing, "I'm really sorry for delaying you all morning..."

Chi Feichi calmed down, "It's okay."

Takagi She felt chilled by this response, sweated, and looked at the five children, "So, do you know the little boy who lives near there?"

"Brother Chi said that the boy was about the same age as us, a little taller than Conan, and about the same size as Conan, and was thinner. He probably lived near there and wore a white baseball cap, right?" Mitsuhiko stroked his chin and thought about it for a second, " Could it be Keiichi? It's Mitsui Keiichi from our next class!"

"Ah, that's right," Yuan Tai hurriedly said, "He goes to the same kindergarten as us, and this summer, his mother died of illness..."

Ayumi nodded and took the words, "Before Keiichi's mother died, she bought him a white hat, and he has been wearing it since then."

"That's it..." Miwako Sato and Tsuru Takagi looked at each other, and asked the children to take them to the head teacher of the next class, and asked the head teacher to take Keiichi Mitsui to the temporarily vacated conference room.

As someone who had seen the witnesses, Chi Feichi also followed in, but the five children of the Detective Boys wanted to follow but were ruthlessly rejected.

Seeing the teacher bring Mitsui Keiichi into the door, Gao Mushe leaned close to Chi Feichi's ear, "Mr. Chi, is this the child?"

Chi Feichi observed it and nodded.

When the door of the meeting room was closed, Miwako Sato squatted down in front of Keiichi Mitsui, making her voice sound gentler, "Your name is Keiichi, right?"

Keiichi Mitsui leaned in front of the teacher, tightly holding the white baseball cap with the letter M on it, and nodded nervously, "Hmm..."

"Don't be afraid, we just want to ask you a few questions, I hope you can help some aunts," Miwako Sato comforted, and then asked, "Kuiichi, did you encounter any strange things on the street last night? about it?"

Keiichi Mitsui lowered his head and said softly, "No, no."

"Hey?" Miwako Sato was a little surprised, and quickly asked patiently, "Did Keiichi go to the street near your house at around ten o'clock last night?"

"No," Mitsui Keiichi still hugged his hat tightly, lowered his head, and said softly, "I was at home last night, the night before, and the night before the day before, and I never went out."

Gao Mushe turned his head to look at Chi Feichi, "Mr. Chi..."

Chi Feichi looked at Keiichi Mitsui's hands clenched on the hat, quickly looked away, and said to Takagi, "Maybe I was wrong."

"Ah?" Takagi She was confused.

Mitsui Keiichi looked up at Chi Feichi in surprise, and quickly lowered his head when Miwako Sato looked over.
