Conan: I Am Not a Snake Spirit

"Multiple personalities?" Hondo Eiyuki's mind froze for a moment, he didn't control his voice, and Conan heard it, "Is it Conan?"

Conan: "..."

That's right, he used this to trick Chi Feichi before, trying to pretend to be Chi Feichi's kind.

Hondo Eisuke thought about Conan's behavior, sometimes he didn't look like a primary school student, and sometimes he was cute and flattering. If you say he has a split personality, he doesn't look like that.

He really wanted to ask Chi Feichi directly, what was the relationship between 'Sleeping Kogoro' and Conan and Chi Feichi, but when he thought of Mizumu Rena who seemed to be secretly asking Mori Kogoro to investigate something, he fell silent again.

Although he doesn't think that such a good person as Brother Feichi has anything to do with the woman who may have caused his sister to disappear, but the situation is unclear now. He hasn't figured out the situation of the group of people in the Maori Detective Agency, so he should investigate first. Besides.

"It doesn't matter if you're too slow or too precocious, they're all different among ordinary people," Chi Feichi looked at the way ahead, and felt that he should patch himself up, otherwise he wouldn't doubt Conan all the time, and he would look very suspicious. He said softly, "For one reason or another, people of the same age think that aliens are incomprehensible and difficult to approach, just like a girl who likes to play with boys, girls will think she is a freak, if boys are not willing to accept her , the child will be lonely, and vice versa."

Hondo Eisuke was startled, and understood instantly.

He has been clumsy and prone to injuries since he was a child. He avoided sports because he didn't want his family to worry about him. Although he wanted to prove himself occasionally, he always made a mess of things.

When he was in school, because he was restless and clumsy, he didn't have a share in sports activities, and he couldn't do fine handwork well.

Boys think that he is as weak as a girl, and they don't want to take him to play with him. Of course, they can't play with him, but girls think that he is a boy and shouldn't take him to play. For a while, He is indeed very lonely, and people will laugh at him.

A little older, probably because being confused makes people feel harmless, and people don’t think he can’t forgive or make up for the mess he made, so he gradually became popular, and he seems to be used to showing his confused face to others .

Is this for camouflage and deception? It does not seem.

The question he had been unable to figure out seemed to have an answer at this moment—maybe it was because he was afraid of being alone, and thought it would be popular, so he habitually put it out.

Conan also walked in silence.

He has been popular in school since he was a child. He can play football with boys, laugh and scold and fight, plus he can reason, and like boys of the same age, he likes to show off a little.

After getting smaller, he went to Didan Elementary School. At first, Yuanta also liked him and expressed his dissatisfaction for being out of gregariousness, but soon got along well with him because of Ayumi and Mitsuhiko.

He knew that Yuan Tai had no malice, and Yuan Tai didn't even think about it at all, but because of this, it's scary to think about it.

If there was a slight deviation at the beginning, if he hadn't been in class B of the first year of Didan Primary School, if the children in his new class thought he was a monster and couldn't get along with him, his current life would probably be going to school in silence every day , After school?

Although he felt that he was too weak to go to school with a group of elementary school students, but since he became smaller and wanted to pretend to be a normal child, going to school was something he had to do, and it would even take a long time in school. If a person is silent and no one can talk, will he really be happy?

He has never experienced it before, and he has no way of judging whether he will feel relaxed because he does not have to deal with children and boring schoolwork, or whether he will feel lonely and bored because he cannot go back to the high school student group or integrate into the elementary school students, and will become Less and less talkative.

Because he was originally a high school student, he would return to the original group sooner or later, so he didn't care that much, but for real elementary school students, that group cannot be avoided, it will follow him for a long time, and his sense of loneliness will always be with him.

An incomprehensible and unapproachable alien...Chi Feichi is also talking about himself, right?

In school, Chi Feichi's popularity didn't seem to be very good, he was very withdrawn.

He has never been able to understand that a person like Chi Feichi shouldn't have no friends, because Chi Feichi doesn't mention things about his school days, and he still can't be sure why, but he can probably guess that it's because of a certain reason I don't fit in, and then slowly become more and more withdrawn, and the distance from everyone is getting farther and farther.

He can imagine a little bit of that kind of loneliness, but he also understands that what he imagined is just the tip of the iceberg, and the pain in it is beyond his comprehension.

In this way, he also understood why Chi Feichi never thought he and Huiyuan were strange.

Because I have been a "strange person" myself, I worry that they will not be accepted by their peers if they are too smart and precocious, so accept them as a "peer" who is more in line with their psychological age.

It's just like……

When a girl who likes to play with boys is rejected by a girl who thinks she is 'strange', it should be a very heartwarming thing for a boy to accept and take her to play boys' games with her.

Suddenly, he remembered the evaluation of the Boys Detective Team - "being regarded as a reliable person", "not being perfunctory as a child", and also remembered Chi Feichi's younger and more innocent face like Yan Qiufu. Boy, lie and say that you are playing hide-and-seek with the person who kidnapped Yan Qiufu.

A person who can recognize what other people may need and what is suitable for other people, and give it in a way that others can't detect but is very comfortable, is itself a kind of extremely restrained tenderness, without asking for anything in return, and not caring whether it will be felt So, just do it silently, so that he doesn't know what to say.

...

The surroundings suddenly quieted down, and Conan and Hondo Eiyu, who had entered a sentimental state, were distracted all the way, and their forward movement became subconsciously 'following' until they reached a maple tree. Chi Feichi stopped, and the two continued to move forward.

Chi Feichi waited for two seconds, and found that the two were still walking into the depths of the jungle like corpses, and then said, "Where do you want to go?"

He just sighed casually, did these two people think about it for a long time with emotion on their faces?

"Ah?" Bentang Yingyou came back to his senses, turned to look at Chi Feichi who was parked behind, "Are you there?"

Only then did Conan realize that he had gone too far, so he calmed down and ran back to Chi Feichi's place.

Why did Hondo Eisuke pass by? Are you thinking about something in a daze, or are you secretly observing him all the way?

Think carefully.

But it seems that Hondo Eisuke won't show his true face for a while, so it's better to resolve this incident as soon as possible.

Chi Feichi put on the gloves that he took off before, squatted down under the tree, picked up the fallen leaves covering the top, observed the soil that had obviously been turned over, and started turning over where the traces were most obvious.

Hondo Eisuke walked aside, looked up at the tree, and then looked around, "This is not the filming location for the last scene of the TV series, it seems to be the place where Sonoko dropped his handkerchief, right? Brother Feichi climbed this tree before... "

Conan also took out the gloves that Chi Feichi had given him and put them on to help dig the soil, "Mr. Hozumi said that the other party entrusted him to find the first tree with a red handkerchief in this area. Since he needs to be specially asked to find it, It means that it is not the tree in the last scene of the TV series, but in other places. Mr. Hozumi may have suggested that the playwright add the red handkerchief plot because he saw a certain tree on the mountain tied with a red handkerchief. , in order to prevent two trees tied with red handkerchiefs from being filmed and destroy the plot, the tree chosen by the crew should be far away from the tree with the red handkerchief tied at the beginning. The red handkerchiefs on this mountain are almost all tied at the location of the last scene Over there, the only thing left is this tree, and there is only a red handkerchief on this tree. The tree that the movie fan asked Mr. Hozumi to find is probably this tree. In addition, Mr. Hozumi dug the soil before his death. Killed, then it is necessary to come and see, to confirm whether Mr. Hozumi was killed because he found something here... That's what Brother Chi said."

"Is that so..." Hondo Eisuke poked his head behind the two of them, and was taken aback when he saw the human skull gradually exposed after the two dug through the soil, "This, this is..."

Conan didn't explain any more, and stared solemnly at the white bones in the mud.

The clues can be connected in series.

The murderer killed a certain person and buried the body here. In order to confirm the condition of the body and transfer the body, he was worried that he would not find the body, so he tied a red handkerchief on the tree.

Later, "Winter Red Leaves" used the "red handkerchief" to write a romantic story, which attracted fans to run up the mountain to hang the red handkerchief. The murderer tragically found that he could not find the tree where he buried his body, and worried that no one would come. Because there were too many people on the mountain and the corpse was found, they were eager to move the corpse, so they found Mr. Hozumi who proposed the red handkerchief idea to the playwright and probably saw the tree where the red handkerchief was tied first. Let Mr. Hozumi find the location of the tree .

Mr. Hozumi discovered this place today. When they went down the mountain to pass on the information, they may have thought of something, found something, or maybe they were bored. They dug bones under the tree, so the soil here still has traces of being turned over recently.

The place where Mr. Hozumi died was in another direction far away from here. It would not be when he was discovered and killed by the murderer, but after the discovery, Mr. Hozumi restored this place and went there to wait for the murderer. This blackmailed the murderer, but was attacked by the murderer with a knife and stabbed into the abdomen.

Afterwards, the murderer found out what Mr. Hozumi had left on the notepad. He stabbed the fallen Mr. Hozumi in the chest, killed the person and took away the notepad, but found that there was only blood on April 1st, nothing special There are no traces or words, so I just threw the notepad in the forest.

If he hadn't happened to see the notepad thrown over there, on such a large mountain, Mr. Hozumi's body would not have been so easy to find. After tonight, it might have been moved or buried, and the scene would be cleaned up Be clean.

Now there are two remaining questions.

The first question is, who is the murderer?

The date of April 1 in the notebook was the death message that the victim had left to identify the murderer, which he already understood after hearing the 'date'.

The second is the identities of those people hiding in the forest.

First of all, it will not be people who travel in a group, otherwise they will not be so sneaky, and it is impossible to continue hiding after discovering the dead, and it is unlikely that they are secretly chasing a fugitive. Going up the mountain, when they go up the mountain, the other party should touch them secretly and warn them not to approach the mountain.

Those people are likely to be criminal groups secretly operating in the deep mountains, or spies or something, and this time the murderer is likely to be an accomplice.

Anyway, he won't be a good person!
