Conan: I Am Not a Snake Spirit

"Male, male?"

Outside the stray pet shelter, Yueshui Nanatsuki was a little surprised to hear the answer from the phone call, and quickly comforted, "It's okay, I already have a little clue... Don't worry too much, I will tell you if I have news of……"

The phone hangs up.

Yue Shui Nanatsuki sighed, and then remembered that he called Chi Feichi earlier and had other things to say, so he called Chi Feichi again.

"Mr. Chi... Yes, I asked... On the day her dog was lost, she didn't eat anything from a stranger... If I have to say something special, it's probably because she used to take a hot water cup to walk the dog , She was tired from walking that day, so she sat on a chair in the rest area and drank water to rest. Her puppy was frightened by a large dog that ran over suddenly. The owner of the large dog rushed over and stopped her. The dog, she was also taken aback at the time. I suspect that at that time, someone may have taken the opportunity to add medicine that would cause diarrhea to her water glass, but I am not sure, because the owner of the large dog is a man, although the scene was very strange. Chaos, but she can be sure that no other pet dog owners are near them..."

"It may also be a gang."

The young male voice on the phone was very calm, "It's not just one person who stole the dog, but a team, scattered in different parks, choose the target and see the right time to strike."

"It is indeed possible..." Yueshui Nanatsuki paused, and hesitated to speak, "I want to borrow a dog and pretend to walk the dog in the park at night, trying to lure suspicious people out, but I I don’t know other pet dog owners in Tokyo. If I go to a dog owner I don’t know, they probably won’t agree to lend me a dog. So I want to borrow a puppy from a shelter, but before I asked the staff of the shelter, but they refused. I heard from Xiaolan that you are a consultant at Manchi Pet Hospital. I think you know a lot of dog owners, so I would like to ask you, can you introduce one? Someone who is willing to lend the dog to me? Of course, I can guarantee that no matter what, the dog will be returned safely!"

"squeak"

The red Lexus SC braked to the side of the road. Chi Feichi got out of the car, pressed the communication button on the earphone, hung up the phone, and said to Koshimizu Nanatsuki, "Xiaolan didn't tell you, most stray pets in Tokyo now Have the shelters been taken over by Machi Hospital?"

"No, no," Yue Shui Nanatsuki was a little confused, put down his right hand that was placed next to his ear, and looked at Chi Feichi's car parked by the side of the road, "But how could you..."

"I guess you want to use a dog to lure the dog thief out," Chi Feichi looked at the shelter, "If you're not in a hurry, can you give me half an hour? I'll take you in and have a look."

"Half an hour?" Koshimizu Nanatsuki didn't quite understand, but still nodded, "Okay, anyway, according to the investigation, the person who stole the dog should take advantage of the time after dinner to walk the dog, and it's only two o'clock in the afternoon. Half, even if you want to lure the snake out of the hole, you still have a few hours before you can act."

Chi Feichi took Yueshui Nanatsuki to the animal shelter.

Looking at the current situation, when Koshimizu Nanatsuki saw his sullen face last night, he was probably frightened at the time, but afterwards he didn't feel any discomfort or restraint anymore.

The previous step-by-step foreshadowing is worthwhile, and the two cases we have experienced together are effective...

When the male staff at the front desk saw the two entering the door, he was taken aback for a moment, and greeted, "Consultant, you are here! This lady..."

"I'll take her to the back to have a look."

As Chi Feichi said, he walked towards the back door of the reception hall.

The male staff member hesitated for a long time, and when Chi Feichi and the two arrived at the back door, he still couldn't help frowning and said, "But the consultant, you know about Kuromaru and the others..."

"I know, I'll take care of it."

Chi Feichi opened the back door, took Koshimizu Nanatsuki to the back yard, and walked to the animal dormitory on the right.

Yueshui Nanatsuki looked back at the staff standing at the back door watching them, "Did something happen before that made him unwilling to lend me the dog? When I borrowed the dog, I told him that I was Detective, because of a suspected dog-stealing incident, I wanted to borrow a puppy to lure out the person who stole the dog. I also promised to bring the puppy back safely. I can even put my driver's license on it. Here is a mortgage, but he still refused, and advised me to find a dog owner to borrow a dog..."

Chi Feichi turned to look at Koshimizu Nanatsuki, "Do you have a driver's license?"

"Yes, I used to accept commissions, and sometimes I needed to go to many places to investigate, and it would be more convenient to drive, so I took the driver's license test when I was able to, and occasionally rented a car to investigate..." Koshimizu Nanatsuki said , Only then did he realize that the topic had been distorted by Chi Feichi, and Ban Yue glanced at Chi Feichi who was walking beside him, "You don't think I haven't learned how to drive yet, do you?"

Hey, wait, what is she talking about?

The topic still hasn't come back... Forget it, she gave up struggling, and Brother Xiao Qi can talk about whatever he wants.

Chi Feichi acquiesced to Koshimizu Nanatsuki's guess. He really thought that Koshimizu Nanatsuki hadn't taken his driver's license test yet, "You haven't driven a car since you came to Tokyo."

"That's because after I came to Tokyo, I have been active in Mihua Town, Kuboto Town, and the Metropolitan Police Department. The distances are not far away. If you are not in a hurry, it will not take long to walk or take a bus. There is no need to rent a car. , last night because it was too late after meeting my classmates, I don’t know much about Mihua Town, and I don’t know where to rent a car is better, so I took a taxi to find you,” Koshimizu Nanatsuki took inventory and smiled, “That night The night I had dinner with lawyer concubine, went to pick up lawyer concubine, and came back from singing karaoke, including last night, you were the one who drove me, since someone drove me, why should I rent a car by myself?"

"Makes sense."

Chi Feichi silently added the phrase 'keep it up', and pushed open the iron door of the stray dog ​​dormitory, "These are stray dogs picked up from the street by the staff, or abandoned dogs brought over by the owner when they don't want them, you see Look at the difference between them and ordinary domestic dogs."

The dormitory is a large room, just like a large pet store. Large cages for large dogs are placed around with some distance between them. Small cages for small dogs and puppies have three floors, separated by grids. There are soft cushions, water and food containers.

There are nearly dozens of dogs in one room, but the smell is not bad because it is cleaned and the dogs have been washed.

Before the door opened, the inside was fairly quiet, but after the door was opened, the big and small dogs inside turned their heads to see Chi Feichi, wagging their tails, barking happily, even the puppies The paws scratched at the barbed wire near the door, and the little hairless tail wobbled non-stop.

Yue Shui Nanatsuki took a look, looked at Chi Feichi uncertainly and said, "Are you...very enthusiastic?"

The dogs seemed to be in good condition, and they were so enthusiastic that she wondered if she had actually entered a pet store.

Chi Feichi was speechless for a moment, then pushed Yueshui Nanatsuki into the door, "They like me better, go in and walk around by yourself, don't worry about them biting you, the dogs in this dormitory are more friendly, and they can't come out. "

"Why?"

Yue Shui Nanatsuki didn't know why, but the door behind him had been closed by Chi Feichi, and when he turned around, he found that the dogs in the cage looked at the door with suspicion.

"You guys also like Little Brother Seven..."

Yueshui Nanatsuki murmured with a broken smile, and decided to follow Chi Feichi's advice and walk around inside first, but when she approached the row of cages closest to the door, the situation suddenly changed from before.

The whole dog dormitory was much quieter. Although some puppies were still stretching their paws to pull the iron net ignorantly, and some puppies were also wagging their tails at her, but more dogs seemed to calm down a lot in an instant. Just stared at her silently.

When she passed by, in the big cage on the side of the wall, a large golden retriever suddenly shrank into a corner away from her, staring at her with vigilance and fear.

It was obviously a big dog whose hair was groomed to be smooth, but she made such a frightened and frightened behavior, which suddenly blocked her heart. She wanted to squat down to comfort her, but found that when she approached, that The golden retriever was trembling and had no choice but to give up.

"Wow!"

The crisp barking of a Papillon dog led to several barks one after another, which eased the depressing atmosphere a lot.

Koshimizu Nanatsuki walked along the aisle, walked past rows of cages, and carefully observed the reactions of the big and small dogs inside.

It's not just the golden retriever who is afraid of people approaching, but also the three small dogs.

And almost all the dogs have been paying attention to her actions, and more than half of them are relatively silent, staring at her with vigilance and alertness.

To her relief, the puppies and some of the more lively dogs did not repel her approaching, and would even wag their tails at her.

Next to the innermost row of cages, there is a red iron door. From the observation window on the door, you can see a corridor behind it, and there seems to be a slight smell of disinfectant in it.

Koshimizu Nanatsuki looked curiously, but didn't see the lock on the door, didn't even see the doorknob, didn't continue to look, turned around and walked to the door, couldn't help but look back, and found those After most of the dogs stared at him, they fell silent for a moment, and said to the outside in a low voice, "Brother Xiaoqi... No, Mr. Chi, I've finished watching."

Chi Feichi opened the door from the outside, looked at Nanatsuki Koshimizu who had an emotional expression on his face, "From now on, when there are no other people, you can call him whatever you want."

Nanatsuki Yueshui blushed for a moment, and his eyes drifted away.

Brother Xiaoqi looked at her with his eyes, as if he was meeting her for the first time, did he think she was acting like a little girl just now...

"Wow woof! woof woof!"

When the dogs in the house saw Chi Feichi enter the door, they almost took off one by one, making Yueshui Nanatsuki divert his attention.

Chi Feichi didn't continue to talk about the address, and closed the door, "Did you find it?"

After looking at the rows of cages, Yueshui Nanatsuki sighed, "Uneasy... Except for those ignorant little guys, other dogs, no matter they are lively, vigilant, or fearful, they are all better than those dogs. Raising a dog lacks a sense of leisure and leisure, always paying attention to the surroundings, and always paying attention to me."

Chi Feichi nodded and walked towards the cage room, "The stray pets in this dormitory have not wandered for too long, they are healthier, and they are closer to people. There are five other dormitories like this, and there are three dormitories that are almost full. indivual."

"More than a hundred stray dogs?" Koshimizu Nanatsuki was a little surprised, "Is it only in the Mihua Town area?"

"That's right, there are more abandoned animals than many people imagined. These dormitories outside are just relatively healthy stray dogs, and some are treated later. In addition, some died before being rescued at all," Chi Fei said. Chi stopped between the cages, stretched out his fingers through the gaps in the iron nets, and teased the puppy that was flopping towards him, "I have a cat named Wuming, and I take a group of cats with me outside every day. Running around, this puppy was discovered by them in winter, there are six in total, the mother dog was not with them, they were packed in a cardboard box and left at the entrance of the alley, when they were found, the six puppies Huddled together, covered with a layer of snow, they couldn't move anymore, they tried to move the puppies here, but in the end only this little guy survived."
