Conan: I Am Not a Snake Spirit

Metropolitan Police Department, conference room.

The police received another call. The woman over there claimed to be Shindo Sumire and had clues about the serial murderer.

After receiving the news, Ireland arranged for Miwako Sato and Tsutomu Takagi to rush there in the capacity of Kiyomaga Matsumoto, and at the same time secretly passed information to that person.

This time, someone provided clues, not arresting suspects, so the number of people rushed by the police was not as large as last time. There were only two people, Miwako Sato and Tsutomu Takagi, and the tire of the car was blown on the way. Wait for the two to contact the local police. When the police from the department arrived, Xintang Sumire had disappeared, leaving only a mess in the house.

On the other hand, no one in Conan provided the clues obtained by the police. Seeing that Mori Kogoro hadn't returned to the detective agency, he went out and called Dr. Ari to meet at Mihua Shrine.

After the sky darkened, the vicinity of the shrine was pitch black, and there was no one there.

After the yellow beetle drove to the entrance of the shrine and stopped, Conan stepped forward from the shadow near the entrance of the shrine, opened the car door and got on the back seat. He was not surprised to see that Haibara Ai followed, and said that organized people sneaked in The matter of the Metropolitan Police Department.

Dr. Ari drove away from the shrine and circled the street.

"Pretend to be a policeman?" Hui Yuanai looked serious.

"Yeah, the code name is Ireland," Conan asked Haibara in a low voice, "Do you know him?"

"No, I haven't heard of it." Hui Yuanai replied helplessly.

"Really," Conan didn't ask any further, frowning and thinking, "If you can know what kind of person the other party is, you can guess who has been replaced..."

"It's better to stop here." Hui Yuanai couldn't help interrupting.

"What?" Conan turned to look at Hui Yuanai in doubt.

Hui Yuanai frowned and explained, "If that Ireland has already turned into a certain police officer, and you ran out to chase Belmode after the search meeting two days ago, Ireland may have..."

"Yes," Conan said, "but..."

"Don't you understand?" Hui Yuanai lost control of his emotions and raised his voice to Conan with an ugly face, "The more you solve the case, the more you can prove that you are Kudo Shinichi! Once your identity is exposed, you also know what the consequences will be... ..."

"Xiao Ai." Dr. A Li called out.

Haibara paused, turned his gaze away from Conan, put his arms around his body, calmed down, and explained, "The case was investigated by the police, and Brother Feichi and Uncle Mori helped, even without you... "

"No, on the contrary, not only can I not quit, but I have to compete with Brother Chi," Conan said softly with a serious expression, "This time, Brother Chi's ability to solve the case will be both the police's help and the help of the police. With the help of those guys, if they find the murderer of the serial murders first, the organization will be able to get back the memory card first. That memory card may be the weapon that can defeat them. No matter what, I can't do anything Doing nothing and watching this opportunity pass by, and this time with the life of an impersonated police officer in Ireland at stake, I cannot sit idly by."

Hui Yuanai knew that the famous detective couldn't persuade her, and this time it wasn't because of missing clues, she couldn't persuade her either, so she was silent for a while, "Anyway, if you are noticed by Ireland, you may be suspected if you withdraw from the investigation now, right? Well, it’s not a bad thing to take the initiative to fight for them and grasp their clues, but are you confident? The police have gathered forces from various police stations to investigate with all their strength. The speed of obtaining information will be very fast, and with the help of Brother Feichi , do you have the confidence to solve the case faster than them?"

Conan's half-moon eyes flashed, and his tone was depressed and awkward, "Not at all."

Haibara Ai:"……"

The answer is really straightforward.

"If only Brother Chi is the only one, I won't lose confidence at all," Conan forcibly held back his respect. "But there are still so many policemen helping with the investigation, I really don't have confidence."

Dr. A Li was also choked by Conan's bluntness, and suggested, "Then...then why don't we find a way to prevent Feichi from going to the Police Department, how about it?"

"I think so too." Conan turned his head and smiled sadly at Haibara.

Hui Yuanai was speechless, maintaining a cold expression, "I see, I'll call him tomorrow morning, and try to hold him back so that he can't go to the Metropolitan Police Department to attend the search meeting, but I'm not very sure that I can hold off He's been too long, you'd better hurry up."

"As soon as possible..." Conan couldn't help but said, "If possible, I would like to know the clues Brother Chi has."

Hui Yuan mourned with black lines, feeling that the famous detective was a bit aggressive, glanced at Conan and said, "This kind of case that is still under investigation and cannot be made public, do you think he will disclose the details and clues of the case?"

"You're a child, and you don't know how to speak out." Conan didn't mind Hui Yuanai's gaze, and said with a smile, "If you act like a baby, you can get some news~!"

"I see." Hui Yuanai was speechless, but still agreed, "I'll try, but again, don't have too much hope."

Do you want her to act like a famous detective acting like a baby...Damn it.

Um? Why did she say 'again'? No matter what, she'll do her best to help.

"Thanks for your hard work..." Conan smiled sadly at Haibara, and touched his chin again, "Although we don't know who Ireland is pretending to be, but Brother Chi is definitely not, even if he drank coffee with sugar on the day of the search meeting..."

"Coffee with sugar?!" Haibara Ai turned to look at Conan in surprise, staring.

"Yes, yes," Conan knew what Haibara Ai was thinking, and explained slowly, "But before the search meeting started, I gave him the bug, and even if there was no communication, he immediately understood my intentions." If he is replaced, it is absolutely impossible to do so, and in order to get the news in time, it is more likely that Ireland will pretend to be a criminal police officer. If he is disguised as Brother Chi, the police may not inform him of the action when the arrest operation begins."

"Looking at it this way, it's impossible for Feichi to be impersonated, but..." Dr. A Li hesitated, "Is what Belmode said really credible?"

"She knew that Huiyuan was Shirley, and she should also know my identity, but she didn't report it to the organization," Conan said, "Now I can only trust her."

"That is to say, didn't you call us to meet at the shrine just to be wary of her?" Hui Yuanai said.

"No, I'm wary of Ireland..." Conan was in a trance for a moment, then he quickly came back to his senses, turned his head and smiled sadly at Haibara, "In short, until this matter is resolved, we should not go outside the school. It’s better to meet each other, but be careful.”

Huiyuan Ai felt that Conan's mood was not right these days, but he knew that something big was going to happen, and he couldn't find out if he asked, so he returned to God, "By the way, you asked me to investigate the English letters behind the mahjong tiles. I have them here. A little gain, but not sure yet..."

...

"The Greek alphabet for the Big Dipper?"

Shinjuku Town, Suga Shrine.

All the way up the stairs, the iron shelves against the wall are covered with white lanterns with Chinese Valentine’s Day messages written on them, and the light wall composed of weak candlelight spreads upwards, dispelling the darkness together with the dim street lamps.

Qin Jiu stood in front of the white lantern, staring at the black ink letters on the lantern, took out the cigarette case with his left hand in his pocket, lowered his head and bit one, "That murderer really pursues a unique sense of ritual..."

"The key lies in the seventh mahjong tile that has not yet appeared."

Chi Feichi leaned on the rear railing, covered by the black robe, only his right hand was stretched out under the black robe, and he stared down at the small flame that kept going out and igniting in the palm of his right hand, "If the back of the seventh card is engraved with a triangle , that is the Greek letter of the Big Dipper, if not, then it is my reasoning error."

In Japan, white represents purity, so many shrines will hang white lanterns around festival days.

A large row of white lanterns lined up along the road, and was blown lightly by the wind in the middle of the night when no one was around, looking gloomy, it would be better to look at the little red flame in his hand.

"Hmph... Anyway, the seventh mahjong tile is about to appear. When Vodka and I rushed to Xintang Sumire's house, she had already been taken away. It seems that the murderer won't take her away for too long, and probably won't wait until noon tomorrow, the police We will receive the news that she was killed..." Qin Jiu put the cigarette case in his pocket, didn't look at the lantern again, turned around and walked to the railing, sizing up Chi Feichi's image now in a black robe with a fire in his right hand. There was a hint of teasing, "So, magician, can I borrow a fire?"

Chi Feichi looked at Gin Jiu's car parked under the stairs, and reached out to flick a small flame on Gin Jiu's cigarette, "Can you bring a lighter or matches by yourself next time?"

"The matchbox was left on the car, I'm too lazy to run down and up again, but..." Gin reached out to take down the cigarette, raised it up and stared at the lit cigarette butt, "How did it fly here? The flame..."

Chi Feichi remained expressionless, "Guess."

Although he was too lazy to take out the matchbox and throw it to Gin and wait to pick it up, but...Gin was too lazy to run away and wanted to use his tinder flame to light a cigarette. Is his flame used to light cigarettes?

"snort……"

Qin Jiu used a nonchalant cold snort to express that he was too lazy to guess, leaned back, leaned against the railing under the lantern, took out his mobile phone, and checked the time with a cigarette in his mouth.

Chi Feichi raised his eyes and looked down, staring down at the little flame that reappeared in his palm, "Is it time to contact?"

"It's been more than two minutes..."

As Gin said, he made a call with his mobile phone and listened to it for a few seconds. His face sank, he put down the phone, hung up, and dialed again. As soon as the call got through, he asked directly, "What is Ireland doing?" ?...Where's the light? Is the light on in the room?...Go and make sure..."

Chi Feichi couldn't hear what the person on the phone said, and waited until Qin Jiu hung up the phone before looking up.

"Ireland's mobile phone is turned off," Gin said with a gloomy face, "After today's investigation meeting, he and you left the Metropolitan Police Department less than five minutes before and after. He should be staying at his temporary residence now, but the people nearby People saw him go back, but the lights were not turned on in the room, and no one saw him come out... Who knows what he is doing!"

"Um."

Chi Feichi controlled the little flame dancing in the palm of his hand, not knowing whether to sympathize with the gin that was about to explode, or with Ireland that was about to cool down.

If it was him who arranged various actions, Ireland still had some problems from time to time, and he was always wandering wildly on the verge of losing control, and he would also feel...or just kill him.

And this time the Irish wave was too much, and the mobile phone was turned off. I guess that person will be dissatisfied if he finds out.
