Conan: I Am Not a Snake Spirit

Suzuki Sonoko felt guilty and climbed down from the tree, "Yes, yes, yes, but you said it was all because of you..."

"Are you the author of "Winter Red Leaves"?" Mao Lilan asked curiously.

"No," the middle-aged man quickly waved his hands, "I'm just an advertiser."

Suzuki Sonoko immediately lowered his head in disappointment, "Is that so..."

"The playwright asked me if there was a mountain with beautiful red leaves that could be used in the series, so I recommended this mountain to him. This is my hometown, and I often played on this mountain when I was young," the middle-aged man looked around. Around, he smiled to a group of people, "It was also my idea to tie the red handkerchief to the tree in this location. The playwright thought it could be adopted, so he rewrote the script! As a result, after the series became popular, many people came here Go camping, tie a red handkerchief to a tree, and maybe the mountain god will get angry and say, 'Are you planning to wrap my mountain with a handkerchief'!"

Feichi climbed onto the rock at the foot of the tree, looked up curiously at the red handkerchief hanging from the branch, "Master, I think this looks pretty."

Chi Feichi walked aside without commenting.

Good-looking is good-looking, just like the marriage tree, but the handkerchief will change color after being exposed to wind and rain. If no one comes to the mountain to clean it up, it will gradually become a mountain full of trees covered with rags...

"However, except for the red leaf viewing season, no one would come here before. Thanks to this, the number of tourists here has increased, and the people who run shops and hotels are very happy," the man was obviously chattering, chattering Sharing, walking towards the foot of the tree where Chi Feichi was, "It's just that the calls from the TV station and the town office are all transferred to me, and people always ask me 'where is that mountain' and 'can you take me to the last scene? The filming location' and so on are quite tiring..."

"It's the same today. A fan said he was willing to pay me. Be sure to tell him where the tree with the red handkerchief on the location was at first," the man turned his head and said to Suzuki Sonoko, Mao Lilan and others, reaching out to touch the tree. Xiangshi, with his palms just on Feichi's body, "I found it on the mountain and now..."

Suzuki Sonoko, Mo Lilan, Hondo Eisuke and Conan subconsciously followed the man's hand, and they were a little dazed when they saw the man's hand on Feichi's body.

Is this person too involved in sharing? How dare you reach out and touch the rocks on the mountain without even looking at it...

Feichi was also stunned for a moment, raised his head, and stared at the man.

It lies here looking at the handkerchief, why did it suddenly touch it?

"I'm really... Tired..." The middle-aged man also felt that his hands were not right, he turned his head slowly, and after seeing Fei Chi under his palms, he froze for a second.

When the middle-aged man was about to yell and his fingers tightened subconsciously, Chi Feichi quickly reached out and grabbed the man's wrist, "Don't throw it away, this is my pet."

The man choked in his throat with a cry. Looking at Chi Feichi's calm face, he couldn't burst out. After Chi Feichi let go, he retracted his hand in a daze, "Hug, I'm sorry."

Huh? Wait, what is he talking about? Was he frightened by the snake? Why say sorry?

Feichi glanced at the man, jumped onto Chi Feichi's arm, wrapped his sleeves and climbed up.

The man felt that he might be stunned, but actually felt that the snake was expressing dislike, so he slowed down and walked backwards, while keeping away from Chi Feichi, he turned his head and said to Mao Lilan and the others, "That...can you help me? A favor?"

Suzuki Sonoko felt a little guilty when he thought that this man was scared by Feichi just now, and said sternly, "Just say it!"

"Sorry, I seem to have frightened you." Mao Lilan apologized.

"Uh, it's okay." The man stopped after confirming that he had entered the 'safe area', "I completely forgot the phone number of that movie fan, can you please go to the phone book in the lobby of the Red Tree Hotel to help me Leave a message? Just write 'I found the tree you are looking for, please come down to the rock in front of the maple tree in the last scene of the TV series', I originally made an appointment with the other party to meet at that hotel today, but now I am going down the mountain To lead him the way again, and to climb up the mountain again, I can't stand it..."

"That's no problem," Sonoko Suzuki said, "We happen to be staying at the Red Tree Hotel."

Mao Lilan reminded, "However, if this is the case, it would be better to write your name under the message?"

"Yes, my name is..." The man took out a notebook from the pocket of his mountaineering jacket, pointed to the letters on the cover and said, "HOZUMI...write it in katakana, and the other party will know."

"Why do you use katakana?" Hondo Eisuke, who has been studying Chi Feichi's background board, leaned forward, curiously looked at the letters in the man's notebook, and touched his chin, "You are not making some kind of suspicious transaction. , so you don’t use your real name to contact me?”

Conan Banyueyan, this guy... makes sense!

"That's not the case!" The man quickly explained with a dry smile, "Actually, this is my habit, and I only talked with that person on the phone. As long as I leave a katana, he can know it's me from the pronunciation. I am really a loyal fan of that TV series. I heard that he has been here many times. He sent me an email, saying that he was staying in that hotel this morning. He hoped that I could reply to him as soon as possible. I said that I can leave a message in the phone book in the lobby if I have anything to do, because he lives in the hotel and should be able to see it soon, I want to pass the message to him as soon as possible... Sorry, please trouble you. "

On the way down the mountain, Suzuki Sonoko sighed from time to time.

After finally returning to Chishu Hotel, Mao Lilan left a message in the phone book in the lobby, and a group of people went to the hotel restaurant to eat.

When the others had finished eating, Suzuki Sonoko still didn't move, and reluctantly pulled a group of people up the mountain, trying to tie the red handkerchief to the tree.

In order to prevent Kyogoku from being unrecognizable, Suzuki Sonoko also wrote the word "Sonoko" on the handkerchief, and added a small branch to make a red flag, which is very creative.

I just didn't consider whether Kyogoku would be blind...

When a group of people reached the mountain, it was almost dark.

Mao Lilan looked at the depths of the dark forest, and approached Suzuki Sonoko, "Sonoko, it's so dark, there seems to be a monster coming out..."

"Monster, monster?" Bentang Yingyou's face paled instantly, he quickened his pace to catch up with Chi Feichi, and then bumped into Conan with his knee, causing Conan to stagger and leap forward.

Chi Feichi stretched out his hand and grabbed one of them.

Conan felt that the back collar was being grabbed, and he maintained a forward posture. He looked at Hondo Eisuke speechlessly, and suddenly found a notebook between the maple leaves in front of him. He reached out curiously, "Huh?"

Chi Feichi pulled Conan's collar: "..."

Can't a detective stand up, squat down, and reach out to pick it up?

After Conan picked up the notebook, he realized that he felt a little suffocated. He stood up and looked down at the notebook in his hand.

"This seems to be Mr. HOZUMI's notebook?" Hondo Eisuke approached.

Conan looked at Hondo Yingyou, took a step back holding the notebook, approached Chi Feichi's side, and flipped through the notebook.

Save your life and stay away from troublemakers!

"Did he accidentally drop it?" Suzuki Sonoko also leaned over.

In the notebook, in the column of notes on April 1, the date was heavily pressed with a bloody fingerprint.

Chi Feichi sniffed the faint smell of blood in the air, and walked in the direction of the smell of blood.

Probably because he had just eaten enough, he became picky, and he actually felt that this person's blood was 'clear soup with little water'.

Anyway, it is the blood with weak sense of layering, no characteristics, weak fragrance, and not very appetizing...

Conan was looking at the blood on the date of "April 1st" in doubt, and noticed that Chi Feichi turned and walked aside, and then saw that there was a large amount of blood on the palm of his hand that had held the notebook cover, his expression changed, and he trotted to catch up with Chi. Feichi, "Brother Chi, there's a lot of blood on the cover of the notebook, it's not dry yet!"

"Brother Feichi, Conan!"

Mao Lilan caught up, and when he saw the body lying at the foot of the tree, he and Suzuki Sonoko screamed.

Hondo Eisuke was startled by the two girls' shouts, and recovered from his stupor, "Yes, it's that person just now!"

Conan squatted in front of the corpse, reached out and touched the side neck of the corpse, then turned his head and said to Chi Feichi who was squatting next to him, "The corpse still has residual warmth..."

Chi Feichi took out a pair of gloves and put them on, and passed a pair to Conan by the way.

If you want to judge the approximate time of death of a person, you can start with the condition of the corpse:

Within 30 minutes, it is hot and soft.

0.5 to 2 hours, it is cool and soft.

From 2 to 24 hours, it is cold and hard.

Within 48 hours, it is cool and soft.

After 48 hours, the skin will be green with a network of putrid blood vessels and bubbles of putrefaction.

These changes are not achieved instantly, and the location of the changes will also range from local to the whole body. Therefore, according to the condition of the corpse and combined with the corpse spots, the approximate time of death can be judged. In an environment, the rate of change will accelerate.

Conan said that the body was still warm, which means it was within 30 minutes of death.

If you want to be more accurate, you have to look at the degree of digestion of the gastrointestinal contents, the biochemical changes of the corpse, and even the small animals that appeared during the decomposition of the corpse, then you can only wait for the police forensic personnel to come.

Conan took the gloves and put them on, then turned to Mao Lilan and shouted, "Sister Xiaolan, call the police!"

"OK!"

Mao Lilan took out her mobile phone and called the police.

Hondo Eisuke stood aside, staring at the glove in Conan's hand.

Brother Feichi handed the glove to Conan without even thinking about it?

When Conan looked away, he noticed Hondo Yingyou's gaze, and his heart skipped a beat, but before he had time to think about it, he got up and leaned into Chi Feichi's ear, and said in a low voice, "Brother Chi, there are more than one people around."

The moment he turned his head just now, he seemed to see a black shadow swaying in the jungle. It was about the same height and shape as an adult, so it couldn't be a small animal in the jungle.

And there was more than one shadow shaking, which meant that a group of suspicious people had surrounded them!

Now that the situation was unknown, he was worried about alarming the other party and causing him to make dangerous moves, so he didn't dare to yell, but he had to be on his guard. It was best to inform Chi Feichi who was closest to him of the situation.

Chi Feichi is stable enough and has good skills. If those suspicious guys suddenly come to kill him, Chi Feichi can also be prepared.
