Conan: I Am Not a Snake Spirit

"Anyway, he is the only player who attracts the most attention in this competition, the proud prince of kicking in Japan... Kyogoku Shin!" The announcement continued on the tablet, "Next, let us first Watch a video of his introduction..."

Suzuki Sonoko ran forward and took the tablet from Yamamura Masao, "Let me see!"

Mao Lilan saw Suzuki Sonoko watching the broadcast with a smirk on his face, and asked curiously, "Sonoko, haven't you heard Kyogoku talk about this competition?"

Suzuki Sonoko smiled a little embarrassedly, "Because he said that if I saw him attracting money, he might as well commit seppuku, so he never told me about the competition!"

Mao Lilan looked horrified, "Seppuku, harakiri?!"

Conan laughed dryly in his heart, this can be regarded as the driving force behind Kyogoku Shin's 400-game winning streak...

"Mountain village police officer!" The police officer who was going to investigate hurried over, "About the identity of the victim..."

Yamamura Cao turned his head and asked, "How is it? Have you figured it out?"

"No, I called the production company of the crew and asked, and they said that there is no advertiser called 'HOZU fans', because most of the staff have gone back, so I asked part-time people," said the middle-aged policeman, Handed a copy of the printing paper to Shancuncao, "I asked them to send a copy of the crew list."

"Hmm..." Shancun Cao stared at the list for a moment, then said speechlessly, "Is this list really all right? The dates on it are so messed up..."

Conan subconsciously thought of Chi Feichi.

He remembered that some time ago, Chi Feichi made a lot of soup dumplings and sent them to the detective agency for breakfast. By the way, he helped Uncle Mao Li sort out the case report, but Uncle Mao Li also had a big heart, so he really threw them all to Chi Feichi. .

Until the day before yesterday, when the uncle wanted to use the materials, he found that the dates marked on them were messed up. He was forced to stay up all night to help rearrange...

Speaking of date confusion, the crew wouldn't be the same as Chi Feichi, right?

Probably not... Wait, speaking of dates, the name HOZU Fan...

After jumping away from Chi Feichi's question, Conan thought it through in an instant, his face changed, and just as he turned around and was about to run out, he was quickly grabbed by a hand... by the collar of his collar.

Conan: "..."

I feel suffocated!

In the past, there was a troublemaker, Bentang Yingyou, and Chi Feichi, who "hanged his neck" when he had a disagreement, did he have bad luck recently?

Chi Feichi let go of Conan's collar, looked at Suzuki Sonoko, Mao Lilan, and Hondo Eisuke who were watching the intelligence live broadcast game together, looked sideways at the door, turned around and walked quietly to the door.

Conan understood and went out quietly.

He almost forgot that there are many dangerous people on the mountain now, maybe they haven't left yet.

If he ran to the mountain in a hurry, Xiaolan and the others would definitely be worried, and maybe they would follow.

It's different when they go to the mountain secretly. When they find out that they are not there, Xiaolan and the others want to go out, and they will remember the horror saying of "dead souls lying on their backs" before, and there is a high probability that they will not go to the dark and dead mountain. Ran.

Well, this time he almost destroyed the previous 'intimidation' effect of the little friend. It was his fault, so he didn't complain about being 'hanged'.

They just slipped away quietly...quietly...!

In the room, Hondo Eisuke was watching the live broadcast of the game with Suzuki Sonoko and Mori Ran, curiously asked about Kyogoku's real story, saw the mention of "Kyogoku really didn't show up" in the live broadcast, and wanted to ask Chi Feichi if he knew about it Knowing what was going on, when he looked up, he found that Chi Feichi, who was standing near the door, had disappeared, and so had Conan.

Those two must have gone to investigate.

Brother Feichi had been standing there quietly before, as if he was letting go, and seemed to be listening to the police officer in the mountain village. He gradually didn't pay attention to it, but Conan was a small kid who ran back and forth, and he got used to it. It's actually a little lack of attention... I'm careless!

He also wanted to find out what was going on with Conan, the brat, whether Brother Feichi was an ally, whether the so-called sleeping Mori Kogoro was the work of Conan or whether Brother Feichi conspired with Conan, what plans did these two have, and what kind of relationship did these two have? How much does Reina Mizumu know... Anyway, there are many problems.

But it's so dark outside, do you really want to go out?

Hondo Eisuke looked at the pitch-black sky outside, gritted his teeth, and walked out bravely.

"Huh?" Mao Lilan looked up, "Yingyou, where are you going?"

"I'll go out to get some air." Hondo Eiyu turned back and smiled, looked away, and continued to walk out with firm eyes.

Didn't you just hear some horror legends? He is not cowardly!

...

The uphill road without starlight and moonlight is so dark that it is difficult to see your fingers.

In autumn, there are less noisy insects and frogs on the mountain, and it seems too quiet.

Occasionally, a textile girl who had passed the active period was disturbed by the people going up the mountain, and gave a feeble "creak" sound, which soon disappeared.

In the distance, the branches and leaves also rustled for a while, and stopped for a while, as if there was something hidden deep in the dark jungle, quietly peeping at the people up the mountain, slowly approaching, and then slowly moving away.

Hondo Eisuke stared at a beam of light moving not far away, and followed behind him, stepping lightly, trying not to let the sound of himself stepping on fallen leaves pass.

Beside the fallen leaves that had been stepped on, two black figures, one big and one small, stood quietly behind the tree, staring at Eisuke Hondo as he sneaked past.

Hondo Eisuke looked left and right, and continued to stare at the beam of light moving ahead. It was Conan's watch flashlight. In this kind of dark night, as long as you keep an eye on it, you won't lose sight of those two.

It's just that the wind in the mountains is probably wandering in the woods, and the back of his neck is a little cold, and he unconsciously thinks of "dead soul lying on his back", "breathing on the neck" or something...

Suddenly, Eisuke Hondo heard a light sigh coming from not far behind, and it seemed to be a light exhalation, and his body froze.

Can't go back!

"Why did you follow?"

The tone of the male voice behind him was too calm and familiar, but he remembered the legend that the mountain goblins can imitate human voices, and they can't turn back!

After Chi Feichi finished speaking, he walked around to the front and looked at the motionless Hondo Eiyu, suspecting that the child had been frightened into a fool.

In the darkness, Eiyu Hondo couldn't see the face of the black figure in front of him clearly, he kept the posture of stepping forward, turned into a stone sculpture, stared at the black figure staring at him without blinking, and the cold sweat gradually came down.

Why did the other party not move? Are you looking at him? Is he pretending to be a wooden man, or is he turning around and running away?

Conan was also worried that Hondo Yingyou would be scared, so he stepped forward to care, "Brother Yingyou, are you... all right?"

He and Chi Feichi didn't intend to scare people, but they sensed that someone was following them, so they asked Feichi to go first with his watch-shaped flashlight, while he and Chi Feichi stayed behind and watched from behind the tree.

There were more than one or two suspicious people. If they alarmed each other, there might be troubles, such as letting people run away, being attacked suddenly, or being surrounded...

Hondo Eisuke continued to maintain the petrified posture, and was overjoyed when he suddenly found that the moving beam of light turned towards them.

The beam of light got closer, and Hontang Yingyou could see clearly that it was not Conan who he imagined being brought by Chi Feichi, but a snake.

The gray-black snake curls a branch with its tail and holds it high behind it. A lighted watch is tied to the top of the branch. As the snake crawls in an S-shape, the light beam of the watch shakes slightly left and right on the ground in front of it, which looks like a flashlight. Held by a child walking through the jungle with one deep foot and one shallow foot.

"No, not red?" Hondo Eiyu was stunned for a moment, and looked up at the two black figures standing in front of him.

Because Feichi approached with a light source, the two people were illuminated behind him, and he could recognize the clothes he was familiar with. However, the backlighted face was expressionless. Although it seemed that he was speechless to him, it was still weird in the middle of the night.

"Brother Feichi, and... Conan?"

"You don't have to be so surprised, right?" Conan said speechlessly, "We should be the ones who should be surprised, why did you follow here secretly?"

Hondo Eiyu let out a long sigh of relief, sat down on the fallen leaves, and eased his pale face, "I'm very strange, why did you sneak out? If you find any clues, don't forget me, I can help too!"

Conan looked at the main hall Yingyou for two seconds, then looked up at Chi Feichi with an innocent smile on his face, his childish voice was cute, "Brother Yingyou, if you don't make trouble, it's already pretty good, right?"

"Ah?!" Hondo Eisuke frowned.

Chi Feichi bent down and reached out to Bentang Yingyou, "Since we're here, let's go together, let's go faster."

Conan didn't refuse either, the mountain was very dangerous, since Eisuke Hondo came with them, they couldn't leave Eisuke Hondo alone.

"Speed ​​up?" Bentang Yingyou was puzzled, but he still held Chi Feichi's hand and stood up before asking, "Have you really found any important clues?"

"Yeah, brother Chi said he knew what happened to the dirt under the nails of that Mr. HOZU fan, and he planned to go and have a look. He happened to find someone sneaking behind him, so he troubled Feichi to use this method to attract attention." Li, let's hide behind the tree to see who it is," Conan took the branch from Feichi, took off his watch and put it on, bent down and smiled at Feichi, "You have worked hard just now, Feichi~!"

"So that's how it is," Bentang Yingyou saw Chi Feichi walking forward, started to follow, and quietly tried, "But Brother Feichi, why did you think of bringing Conan with you? What do you think when you take the children up the mountain in the middle of the night? It's all kind of weird..."

"Conan is very smart," Chi Feichi said without hesitation, "smarter than you think."

"Really?" Hondo Eisuke looked down at Conan who was following beside him, his glasses reflected light under the light, making his gaze mysterious.

Conan was secretly vigilant, what does this troublemaker want to do? !

"In another ten years, he will definitely be a better detective than Mr. Mao Li, and he is very courageous. He is never afraid of corpses or the dark, so it doesn't matter if you come to the mountain in the middle of the night." Chi Feichi slowed down and turned his head to Hontang Yingyou. He whispered, "This child...is sick."

Hondo Eiyu was stunned, "Ah, hey?"

Conan listened with his ears upright, but Chi Feichi's voice was too soft, and he could only vaguely hear something like 'child', and he was unconsciously nervous.

What are these two talking about? Why is Hondo Eisuke so surprised? Could it be that Chi Feichi had discovered his anomaly a long time ago, but just didn't say it, and now told Hontang Yingyou?

Nervous and curious, causing the heart to beat faster.

"I used to have multiple personalities, and so did he." Chi Feichi whispered, looking at Conan who was tense.

This was used by a detective to fool him, so he pretended to believe it, and secretly revealed the bad deeds of the detective to deceive him to others.
