Conan: I Am Not a Snake Spirit

After Chi Feichi got up, he went to the next Buddha statue, took away the Buddha statue in the same way, and moved the glass box away.

In the four corners of the room, the four glass boxes containing Buddha statues were all covered with bamboo surfaces that were exactly the same as the tatami mats. On the original tatami mats, there were more or less blood stains on the corners, which were just covered by the glass before. The sticky bamboo surface under the box was covered.

After Chi Feichi moved the glass box, he lifted up the tatami mats in the room, exchanged positions and re-laid them again. The four blood-stained corners came together to form a large bloodstain in the upper right corner of the room. He stood up and looked at Shi Fei. Lian, "As for the body, when the police came, it should have been removed and placed in the corridor."

"Cough, that's right, that's it," Mori Kogoro nodded, and then looked at Shi Lian speechlessly, "But Shi Lian presided over it. It's a good thing you could have imagined that you actually moved the body away before the police arrived. Changed the position of the tatami mats, and made hands and feet under the glass box to cover up the bloodstains. I think, when the police came to check the room, you told them like I told them that this is a precious Buddha statue that has been passed down from generation to generation. , when the police are checking, at most they open the lid, pick up the Buddha statue and look at the tatami at the bottom of the glass box, because removing the glass box is too troublesome, considering that the glass can see the tatami underneath at a glance, so they will not remove the glass Box inspection, and if you hold it together with the Buddha statue and the glass box, the Buddha statue is easy to shake and then hit the inside of the glass box, causing damage. When the police check, they will not think about damaging other people’s precious objects, so you will hide it. It's over."

"As expected of a detective, it's like seeing it with my own eyes," Shi Lian sighed deeply, walked into the room, sat down in a corner without blood, and looked at the glass that was held by Hattori Heiji and Conan. Box, "But that method is not what I thought of. In addition to Chuanjiu, there were two other monks in the monastery. Like Chuanjiu, they were abandoned in the monastery and raised by me. It has been different for a long time. They yearn for the life of young people outside. At night, they put on wigs, fashionable clothes that young people would wear outside, and even earrings, and sneak out to play at night. Not only that, they also Learned to smoke and drink, and often hid in other courtyards to smoke and drink..."

"So that's how it is," Hattori Heiji looked at the dark stains next to the blood stains on the tatami mats, "because they accidentally left traces of wine stains and cigarette butts on the tatami mats, they came up with this method. Paste the bamboo surface that looks the same as tatami mats on the bottom, move the traces on the tatami mats to the corner, press it with a glass box, and use it for your inspection, right?"

"That's right," Shi Lian smiled helplessly, "They asked themselves to clean the other courtyard and came up with this method to try to hide it from me. After they left the temple, I didn't want to deal with it. This is more or less the trace left by them , right? That morning, Chuanjiu suddenly ran to say that the woman was dead, and I suddenly thought of using this method to cover up the blood."

Mao Lilan followed the door and sat down, hesitating, "Then, that corpse..."

"Did you dispose of it?" Yuan Shan and Ye asked with a frown.

"In any case, it's wrong to dispose of the corpse privately and conceal it from the police," Mori Kogoro also sat down beside him, and couldn't help but wonder, "Could it be that the woman's death was related to you, so Are you guilty of a guilty conscience? Thinking about it this way, ordinary people wouldn’t think about hiding someone’s death because they were worried about the temple’s reputation, would they?”

"You have misunderstood me." Host Shi Lian paused, looking at the blood stains on the tatami over there, "But you can also say that, that woman left her son in the temple eighteen years ago... Chuanjiu's biological mother..."

Hattori Heiji was surprised, walked to the door with Conan, sat around with a group of people chaired by Shi Lian, looked outside the door, "No wonder you asked Master Chuanjiu to boil water, then she..."

"In the evening three days ago, she came here suddenly, crying and saying please return her son, and said, 'Actually, I secretly come here every year to watch him grow'," Shi Lian sighed, "I think since In that case, show her the photo albums of the young monks who practiced in the temple..."

Chi Feichi stood at the door smoking a cigarette, as if letting the air out, heard the helplessness and bitterness in Shi Lian's tone, and looked back at Shi Lian in the room, "Master Shi Lian, being too smart is not a good thing, human nature can't stand the test sometimes. "

Shi Lian was taken aback, and then sighed quickly, "Maybe it's true, I shouldn't have suddenly thought of verifying it, because she looked at those photos, but couldn't recognize which one was her child, and finally collapsed. When I cried, I didn't realize that Chuanjiu who brought the album was her own son. I also felt angry because of her previous lies. After I asked Chuanjiu to quit, I blamed her in a very severe tone and said to her, "Today Please stay in the other hospital tonight, let's calm down, experience the loneliness and sadness your son has experienced for 18 years, and remember it in the bone marrow', and the next morning, she committed suicide."

Mao Lilan's heart was heavy when she heard that, "How could this happen..."

"I thought it would be too cruel for Chuanjiu to know about it, so I came up with this plan. Of course, it's also because I think it's my own fault, so I don't dare to face up to this matter." Host Shi Lian supported the floor with one hand, stood up, and looked at Kogoro Mori, "Then let's go now... Can I trouble you to take me to the police station?"

"Uh, okay." Mori Kogoro stood up blankly.

When Shi Lian walked up to Kogoro Mouri, she stopped, "Although I did this kind of thing, it's not appropriate for me to say it, but since you chose to deal with it with a gentle attitude at the beginning, why did you do it later?" Do you want to be excited to question? It may be the detective’s instinct and habit to suspect and use reasoning to make the criminal bow his head and confess, but I hope you can remember one sentence.”

Mori Kogoro looked at Shi Lian suspiciously.

"Words are like knives," said Shi Lian with a calm but sincere expression. "If you use it improperly, it can become a vicious weapon. You must understand the other party's mood and use it carefully, no matter what kind of person the other party is..."

...

She said she was going to the police station, but Shi Lian still wanted to explain what happened in the monastery.

Chuan Jiu had just boiled the water, when Shi Lian called him to the gate, and listened to Shi Lian's explanation, he nodded repeatedly in response.

Hui Yuanai was holding Feichi in his pocket, and he and Chi Feichi were standing beside the car waiting, staring down at the ground in silence.

She wanted to ask Brother Feichi, did the phrase 'too smart is not a good thing' not only said to the host Shi Lian, but also to herself?

During this period of time, she had been in touch with her godmother, and she found that her godmother would ask Chi Feichi about things, such as 'how is brother', 'what is he doing recently', 'how is your body', 'is there any Making new friends', 'how are the auditory hallucinations'...

She is happy to talk about these things, but it is inevitable that she will ask her godmother--'hasn't he called you lately'.

Over there, Chi Kanai's silence was the longest in history, and at the end he murmured in a very low voice - "There is no topic to introduce into the conversation, and I worry that he will be bored by talking about it, saying that I care about his growth, but I don't pay much attention to it."

She was miserable enough at the time, and she didn't quite understand why there was such a gap in the relationship between mother and child. Considering that her godmother was always running outside, it was not incomprehensible.

She also thought about finding a suitable opportunity to talk to Brother Feichi. For example, the godmother still cares about you very much, and then she will encourage them to increase the connection between the two parties, and it will be fine with time...

But tonight, when she suddenly heard Chi Feichi say 'too smart is not a good thing', she suddenly discovered something she had overlooked, and a slight coldness accompanied by an unspeakable pain pervaded her heart.

The godmother shared with her a lot of funny and embarrassing stories about Brother Feichi, but it seemed that they all happened before Brother Feichi was five years old, and there were very few things after that.

What was it like in school? What kind of friends did you make? Have you ever met someone or something you hate? Do you have any troubles? Did you meet a girl you were attracted to when you were a teenager? ...

None of these things, her godmother probably didn't even know that Brother Feichi once burned a painting, and she only noticed 'I can't find an entry point' and 'I'm worried that he'll get bored', ignoring the last sentence 'Actually, I didn't pay that much attention', ignoring the greatest anxiety in her godmother's heart, ignoring the real crux.

She suddenly felt sorry for her brother's loneliness in those years, and also felt sorry for her godmother's silence and bewilderment now.

She also thought about asking her godmother 'why', but in the face of her godmother's sudden depression, she couldn't bear to sprinkle salt on the wound of the woman who warmed her, so she could only try to lead the topic in a relaxed direction.

Thinking about it now, even if she told Brother Feichi, "Godmother still cares about you very much", Brother Feichi would think it was a child's relief, and would not take it to heart at all.

Even if Brother Feichi sometimes lacks interest in solving cases, as a person who can solve cases faster than detectives like Edogawa, doubting something and proving it should be instinctive, and for Brother Feichi, a nice word In the end how many true and false, I am afraid can also be quickly identified.

Yes, being too smart is not a good thing.

She was thinking, it would be nice if Brother Feichi was a little stupid, then she said, "Godmother still cares about you very much, she has been secretly paying attention to your affairs", then Brother Feichi would be happy, and the relationship would be like hers. Relaxed as expected.

But Brother Fei Chi is not stupid, and she may even be very distressed by her own sensitivity, which made her think about the words many times in her heart, but she couldn't say a word, and she didn't know what to do...

Cute girl, online depression, this late night sadness flows upstream into a river.

On the other side, Hattori Heiji leaned against the car rented by Mori Kogoro, also lowered his head silently, staring at the ground distractedly.

Conan originally wanted to wait for his little friend to take a break, but seeing that Hattori Heiji couldn't take it for a long time, he couldn't stand it any longer. He approached, stretched out his hand to pull the hem of his clothes, and said in a low voice, "Hey, don't you need to do this?"

He is often hit by Chi Feichi, but he has never been so low, Hattori should think about it.
