Conan: I Am Not a Snake Spirit

"Xiao Ai will also pay attention to this." Mao Lilan laughed, and found that Yueshui Nanatsuki was staring at her, and then smiled, "But no, I promised Miss Nanatsuki that she would not say anything."

"Wow!"

In front of the window, the exclamation of the three children made the speechless Hui Yuanai turn his head to look over.

The cruise ship crosses the cable-stayed bridge, and the spectacular pier appears in front of you.

In the mist, luxury cruise ships from all over the world are parked at the pier. Rows of white cruise ships are like white swans staying on the water, very grand.

After disembarking from the cruise ship, a group of people came back to their senses. They looked back at the pier, and were quickly attracted by the lively Chinatown not far away.

Mao Lilan and Yueshui Nanatsuki insisted on going to the grave first before going to eat. Dr. A Li had to take the three hungry children to occupy a seat in a Chinatown restaurant.

As for Mori Kogoro, Conan, and Haibara Ai, rather than worrying about the two girls visiting the grave, they wanted to see if they could hear any news.

After all, Mao Lilan's karate is not easy to mess with, and Koshimizu Nanatsuki even memorized the black Tang sword...

The two grave-sweepers didn't mention their dreams on the way. When they arrived at the cemetery, they quickly found Elizabeth's tomb full of bouquets.

While waiting, the old man's panicked cry suddenly came out of the thick fog.

Conan immediately chased into the fog, and saw a man in a black robe who seemed to be holding something sharp, intending to stab an old man who had fallen to the ground, and shouted loudly to scare him away, and vaguely saw a man under the black robe. Zhang's horrified face was burned, but due to the fog, he couldn't catch up with him.

The grave-sweeping group did not stop at the cemetery, and sent the old man who introduced himself as 'Joji Miura' back.

After Miura Joji returned to the office, he relaxed and introduced himself, "I am a lawyer, and there are always people here to help, but today is a holiday, so there is nothing to entertain everyone. Please sit down."

Mori Kogoro looked at the old sofa with cotton exposed, and took the lead to sit down...

Miura Joji was a little embarrassed, but after exchanging business cards with Mori Kogoro, he immediately became excited, "You, you are the famous detective Mori Kogoro?"

"Oh," Mori Kogoro scratched his head with a smile, "Has my reputation already spread here?"

"Of course," Miura Joji hurriedly said, "You are very famous in Egamihara!"

Mori Kogoro laughed triumphantly, "Hahaha...is that so..."

"Father, don't worry about yourself," Mao Lilan said with black hair, looked at Koshimizu Nanatsuki again, and smiled at Miura Joji, "Miss Nanatsuki is also a detective, although she is not very famous, But also very powerful."

"Really? That's really great," Miura Joji said excitedly, "Actually, I have something to ask the two detectives for help!"

"Need help?" Mori Kogoro put a smile on his face.

Koshimizu Nanatsuki also became serious, "Is it related to what happened to you when you were attacked this morning?"

Hui Yuanai sighed inwardly.

When she saw the Chinatown restaurant before, she wondered if Brother Feichi would regret it when he heard about it, but now she began to think that Brother Feichi was very lucky.

They went to the hot springs in Hyogo Prefecture, and they also encountered incidents. When they came here, it seemed that they had to solve the incidents. There would not be much sightseeing atmosphere at all...

"I think it should be related." Miura Joji got up, took out a handkerchief and put it in his hand, took out an envelope from the first drawer of the desk, and handed it to Mouri Kogoro, "I found this this morning .”

Mori Kogoro took out the handkerchief from his pocket, suddenly regretted that the apprentice who could hand him gloves was not there, took the envelope, opened it and looked at the letter inside.

On the letter paper are pasted blocks of words cut from newspapers and magazines:

[The witch's things are the witch's. If you want to get it, no matter where you are, you will be cursed by the witch, and your heart will be ripped out alive! 】

"What is the witch's thing?" Mori Kogoro looked up at Joji Miura in doubt.

"Probably refers to the inheritance left by a lady who passed away two days ago," Miura Joji said helplessly. "She was called a witch by the people here before her death."

"Oh?" Mori Kogoro guessed that the inheritance was not much, and asked casually, "So, how much inheritance did that witch leave?"

"Let me think about it," Miura Joji thought, "The savings she left alone should be 500 million yen, and she owns a lot of real estate, which is also one of the best in Egamihara. Probably 2 billion yen."

"2 billion?" Mori Kogoro almost jumped up from the sofa.

"This is a threat," Koshimizu Nanatsuki looked at the letter paper, "It doesn't look like a joke."

Conan took the opportunity to take out a handkerchief, put it in his hand, picked up the envelope and looked at it, "Just now I seemed to see the man in black robe who attacked Mr. Miura, holding some sharp weapon in his hand."

If Chi Feichi is not here, then he needs to communicate with Detective Yueshui for clues. Detective Yueshui is still very keen.

After Mori Kogoro came back to his senses, he couldn't help asking, "Who the hell is this lady?"

"Her name is Elizabeth Montgomery, and she is the old lady who opened a herbal medicine shop in Egamihara." Miura Joji said.

"Elizabeth?" Upon hearing this, Mao Lilan chatted with Joji Miura about the book "Secrets of European Herbal Medicine", only to find out that Joji Miura also went to visit Elizabeth's grave before.

Kogoro Mori listened for a while, and felt that the "witch" was still the key, and asked seriously, "Can you tell me more about this witch?"

Joji Miura nodded, and recalled, "Although I am her counselor, I am sorry, I really don't know much about her growth history, because she was stubborn before she was alive and would not tell her casually. Others have her past, but one thing is certain, she has lived in Jiangshenyuan as early as the Meiji period."

"Meiji period?" Mori Kogoro asked in surprise, "Then she should be over a hundred years old, right?"

"Yes, although she was not very visible from the outside before she got sick, she is definitely over a hundred years old," Miura Joji said, "I once had the honor to chat with a 90-year-old man, and it is said that he is the one who knows the best People from Elizabeth, he said that since he can remember, Elizabeth has opened a herbal medicine shop in Egamihara. My grandfather came here from Belgium 85 years ago, so the time Elizabeth came here must have been longer than that much earlier."

Mori Kogoro looked at Joji Miura's chestnut hair, high nose bridge and dark blue eyes, "So your grandfather is also a foreigner."

"That's right," Miura Joji said, "my grandfather built this house with great painstaking efforts, but compared with hers, my house is far inferior. I heard that her house used to belong to the Viscount of Europe. The descendants are genuine aristocratic families, but I heard that their family loves nature very much and has been using herbs to treat local people's diseases, but this behavior is not recognized by the king and the church, because the land ruled by their family is very rich , made the king covet, so their family was judged as a witch, and they came to the foreigner's mansion area of ​​Egamihara in order to escape the king's persecution, and their lives have always been very low-key."

"Then she's called a witch, isn't it just someone else's nonsense?" Mori Kogoro touched his chin, "Speaking of which, who will inherit the inheritance worth 2 billion yuan?"

"There are three people, but none of them are related to her by blood," Miura Joji said, "She seems to have no descendants in Egamihara, only Ms. Tsurumi Yoko who was adopted from a young age. She was raised by me. Hui Zhilan is a beautiful and kind girl with a heart, and I am also surprised that Elizabeth does not leave the inheritance to her."

"Can you tell me specifically, what kind of people are the three people left in the will?" Koshimizu Nanatsuki asked aloud.

"These three have grown up in Egamibara for generations since their ancestors," Joji Miura said with a smile, "I heard that they formed a young detective team when they were young. They are good partners who have always played together."

"Boys detective team?" Conan was very sensitive to this.

Koshimizu Nanatsuki couldn't help but look at Conan.

This is the boy detective team from many years ago, and it meets the boy detective team of this era, right?

Immediately afterwards, Joji Miura introduced the titles of the three "Three Sages", and said that if the three of them and their families could not inherit the inheritance, they would be inherited by Tsurumi Yoko and Sakuragi Isao in order, and said, "If Sakura If Father Mu gives up the inheritance, then I will become the administrator of the property, and according to my personal judgment, donate the money to the most suitable charities."

"Really..." Mori Kogoro thought for a while, "Then do you think that you were attacked by gangsters just now because your name was written in your will?"

"Yes," Miura Joji said sternly, "but the one just now is definitely not a gangster, but a witch!"

"Hahaha, it's true that Ms. Elizabeth is called a witch, but she's already passed away, isn't she?" Mori Kogoro said disapprovingly, "Where are there any witches now?"

"That's right, but..." Miura Joji frowned with cold sweat on his forehead, "Actually, the day before Ms. Elizabeth passed away, she asked Ms. Tsurumi to come to me and said that she wanted to revise the will and want to transfer all the inheritance Hand it over to the young men and women who came to Jiangshen a few days ago."

"Huh?" Conan felt that there was a problem, and couldn't help asking, "Could it be her descendant?"

Just imagine, if there are still descendants of Elizabeth who come here before Elizabeth's death and learn that Elizabeth left the inheritance to people who are not related by blood, it is possible to have a story of "grievance revenge".

"It doesn't look like it. Elizabeth said that they are friends. I think their attitude towards Elizabeth is also very strange." Joji Miura looked weird for a moment, as if he was unbelievable. "When I was talking to Elizabeth, the two of them just arrived. , and refused to inherit the inheritance, that Mr. Chi went directly into the house and said, "Elizabeth didn't discuss with us, she made her own decision, do you think it's appropriate?" The other Ms. Koizumi looked very angry, even more Asking Elizabeth whether to humiliate them with money or to humiliate their friendship, is this not an attitude towards the elders? And Elizabeth was like a child who did something wrong at the time, saying that she just wanted to repay their help, but I still listen to them, let me keep the will as it was."

quiet.

Mori Ran exchanged glances with Koshimizu Nanatsuki who was sitting beside her, and then with Haibara Ai, Conan, and Mori Kogoro.

"The surname Chi..." Mori Kogoro had the indifferent face of his apprentice in his mind, tentatively, "It seems to be rare."
