Conan: I Am Not a Snake Spirit

Koshimizu Nanatsuki and Conan arrived at the corpse almost at the same time, and inspected the corpse with a flashlight. "There are foams at the mouth and nose, it should be drowned."

After squatting down, Conan took out a handkerchief and put it on his hand. Looking at the dead man's palm, he suddenly missed Chi Feichi's gloves. Although Chi Feichi probably wouldn't give him the gloves, but Chi Feichi came to check. It's more convenient than using a handkerchief. "The palms and soles of his feet are wrinkled. He must have been soaked in water for at least an hour."

On the side, Mumu Shisan talked to Mori Kogoro about the discovery of the corpse.

Toda Jiro usually likes to be alone in the basement, listening to music with the soundproof door closed.

According to the maid at home, Toda Jiro went to the basement to listen to music alone last night. In the morning, the maid found that he was not in the room. She thought he had fallen asleep in the basement and planned to wake him up.

The maid didn't have a key to the basement, and Jiro Toda called an ambulance because he didn't respond no matter how he shouted or knocked on the door.

The emergency team came with three teams. Since the door was locked from the inside, the rescue team had to come over and cut open the soundproof door with a chainsaw...

Unexpectedly, as soon as the door was opened, floods gushed out of the house, washing away a member of the rescue team and hitting the wall heavily, just in time to be pulled away by the ambulance that had arrived earlier.

The police tried to investigate the cause of the water entering the basement, and found that the water was tap water. However, this was originally a warehouse. No water pipes were laid during construction, and there were no public water pipes bursting nearby. , repainted the paint, and there is no crack, that is to say, the house is a secret room, and the source of the large amount of running water that floods the room is also a mystery.

In addition, if water is poured into the room, Toda Jiro should think of escaping from here, but Toda Jiro has no trace of trying to escape, which is also very suspicious.

Conan wondered if someone put water through the opening on the door with a water pipe, but when he shone it with a watch-shaped flashlight, he found that the door was made of thickened iron sheet without any opening.

"Mr. Mori, Officer Megure."

Koshimizu Nanatsuki, who was squatting beside the corpse, yelled, and with a handkerchief on his hands, he carefully took out the envelope from the pocket of the deceased's suit, "Mr. Toda has an envelope in his pocket, which is the same as the envelope of the threatening letter received by Mr. Miura." It's like..."

"What?!" Mori Kogoro stepped forward stepping on the water, watching Koshimizu Nanatsuki open the envelope.

Mu Mushisan also leaned forward, bent down to look at the content made up of cut-out blocks on the letter paper, "The witch's things are the witch's. If you want to get them, no matter where you are, you will get them." Cursed and drowned...this is a threatening letter!"

"It's also a murder notice," Mori Kogoro touched his chin. "Mr. Miura also received a similar threatening letter, but the last sentence was 'Heart was ripped out alive'."

"Really?" Megushi Shisan looked solemn, turned around and asked Miura Joji who was standing aside trembling, "Mr. Miura, can you show me the letter you received?"

"Okay, okay," Miura Joji paled, took out the envelope from his jacket pocket, handed it to Megure Shisan, and murmured in panic, "This must have been done by the witch, and I will definitely be killed by the witch, for sure. meeting!"

When Mori Kogoro and Megure Thirteen comforted Miura Joji, Conan was still squatting in front of the corpse, watching Koshimizu Nanatsuki shake out the tiny black nubs from the envelope, then leaned forward and sniffed, frowning and whispering Said, "It still smells like rust..."

Hui Yuanai also squatted aside, and suggested aloud, "You can take some back and let the doctor check it, and you should be able to know what it is."

"That..." Mao Lilan at the door also twitched her nose, and said in doubt, "Although the smell is very light, do you smell a sweet floral fragrance?"

"I smell it too," Mu Mu Shisan nodded quickly, "Actually, we are also very concerned about this faint smell floating in the air, but none of us know what it is, and we have no clue after thinking about it for a long time. Worrying, Xiao Lan, do you know what this smell is?"

"I think it should be some kind of herbal medicine," Mao Lilan frowned and smelled the faint fragrance in the air, "but what the name is, I'm not sure..."

Conan frowned thinking back.

He seemed to have smelled this smell somewhere too, and it was mixed with other herbal smells.

In my memory, there is a little herbal smell floating in the lighted cabin, a mixture of bitterness and sweet floral fragrance, and the two contradictory smells are wonderfully blended together...

Where did you smell it?

"Really..." Mu Mu Shisan felt a little regretful, and urged, "If you remember it, tell me right away."

Conan withdrew his thoughts and continued to check the floor with a watch-shaped flashlight. He suddenly found that there were more than one small black rust on the floor, and reminded him aloud, "Officer Meguro, there seems to be a lot of rust on the floor!"

...

Herb Hall.

The sun dispelled the mist that hung over the sky.

Under the elder tree in the depths of the yard, Chi Feichi was lying on the recliner with his eyes closed. He vaguely heard the noise in the pharmacy. He opened his eyes and looked at the mottled light spots among the leaves above his head, and looked sideways at the corridor of the pharmacy. .

Feichi, who was wrapped around Chi Feichi's neck, also moved, and suddenly stood up straight, his eyes fixed on the direction from which the sound came.

Wuming lay on Chi Feichi's body and dozed off. In a daze, he noticed the movements of Chi Feichi and Feichi, "Meow? Is there a guest?"

Chi Feichi heard a very familiar voice expressing "so beautiful", sat up, hugged Wuming, and walked along the path of the herb garden towards the pharmacy.

As soon as he arrived at the herbal medicine hall, Feichi jumped out cheering, "Master, it's the doctor and the children!"

In front of the entrance hall leading to the medicine garden, Dr. Ali took Genta, Ayumi, and Mitsuhiko children to stand in the corridor, watching the herbs in the medicine garden.

"It looks like a fairyland here!" Ayumi praised with a smile.

Mitsuhiko closed his eyes and sniffed, "And there is the fragrance of herbs in the air, it smells really refreshing!"

"There are also plants like eels..." Yuan Tai stared at a herb seriously, and suddenly found a black shadow jumping over, shaking the herb, and couldn't help but exclaimed, "Ah!"

"What's the matter? Genta..." Ayumi looked over, and saw a snake with its upper body on the ground spitting snake letters at them, and said in surprise, "Ah!"

Seeing that Ye Zi was smiling and accompanying them at first, he thought the children were frightened, but recognized that it was the snake Chi Feichi was carrying on his body, and hurriedly comforted him, "It's okay, it's actually..."

"Not red?"

The three children happily stepped forward and squatted down around Feichi.

"So it's really Feichi, I thought it was a very similar snake..."

"Feichi, why are you here?"

Dr. A Li was also a little surprised when he saw Feichi. When he noticed someone approaching, he raised his eyes and saw Chi Feichi walking along the path with a white cat in his arms.

Chi Feichi glanced over a group of people, and looked at the stunned Tsurumi Yezi, "Why did you pick up so many people?"

"Brother Chi!"

The three children shifted their targets again and surrounded Chi Feichi.

"Brother Chi, why are you here?" Guangyan asked in surprise.

Ayumi smiled and stretched out her hand to touch Wuming's back, "And Wuming is here too."

After Tsurumi Yezi came back to his senses, he held up a pile of bags in his hand and explained to Chi Feichi, "At the dinner party before, I heard Mr. Dashan talk about your liking for Chinese cuisine, and you seemed to be asleep just now, so I didn't Excuse me, first go to Chinatown to buy some food and come back, you can eat when you wake up, and then when I was about to come back, I saw that child named Yuantai fell to the ground and broke his knee, thinking about bringing him back Medicine, that's why I brought them all back..."

"It's Yuanta who eats too much," Mitsuhiko whispered, "I can't see my feet when I walk, of course I will fall."

Dr. A Li scratched his head and said with a dry smile, "But you said something like 'picking it back'... Feichi, we can meet here, you should be more enthusiastic!"

"It turns out that you are acquainted friends, what a coincidence," Tsuru saw Ye Zi couldn't help laughing, and handed the bag in his hand to Chi Feichi, "Since you are awake, please go to the living room for dinner, I will buy it for you I ordered Chinese ramen and fried chicken nuggets, please entertain everyone for me, I will go to the wooden house to prepare some medicine to bandage this child."

"Don't bother." Chi Feichi took the bag with one hand, then reached out to take out a small medicine bottle from his trousers pocket, and threw it to Tsurumi Yoko, "After cleaning the wound, use this to rub it around the wound, it can reduce swelling and blood stasis. But be careful not to rub it on the wound, and wrap it up as soon as possible before eating together."

Behind, the three children gathered together and whispered.

Mitsuhiko said with a speechless face, "I feel like there is something missing, for example, everyone happily reminiscing about the past after meeting unexpectedly..."

Yuan Tai had half-moon eyes, "Yes, Brother Chi, don't you feel very happy to see us?"

Ayumi looked up at the sky, trying to imagine Chi Feichi's surprise and smiling reminiscence with them, "I can't imagine..."

"gone."

Chi Feichi greeted him, and walked into the living room with his bag.

Since Dr. Ali and the three children are here, the elementary school students of death must be here. If this is the beginning of a special story, at least one of them must die before it is over.

He couldn't say he was worried or had a headache, but he wasn't happy either.

...

After a group of people arrived at the living room, Tsurumi Yoko helped Genta deal with the scratches on his knees.

Chi Feichi opened the bags one by one and divided the food into two portions.

According to the rules, when someone in the family just passed away, Tsurumi Yoko had better be vegetarian these days, eating enough for seven days, so as to respect the deceased, so apart from the ramen, the box of vegetarian dishes should be bought by Tsurumi Yoko.

During the meal, Dr. A Li chatted with Chi Feichi about the reason for coming here.

"We were originally at Kinosaki Hot Springs, but Xiaolan said that since it was the holiday, it would be better for everyone to go to Eshenyuan for sightseeing. Anyway, it didn't cost much for Maori to invite everyone to the hot springs. The budget was enough, and there was an incident on the way , everyone failed to relax," Dr. A Li said with a smile, "Speaking of that incident, it was really thrilling, even Xiaolan was taken away, so when she brought it up, we thought about going to Jiangshenyuan to play again. It's good for two days, but I didn't expect that she and Detective Yueshui planned to visit someone's grave."

Chi Feichi temporarily stopped his chopsticks, looked up at Dr. A Li, "Tomb sweeping?"

Yue Shui and Xiaolan are here, so there should be no one they know, right?

"It seems to be related to the secret of St. John's wort," Ayumi recalled. "They seemed to have said it on the cruise ship that came."

"But we were only looking at the scenery outside the window," Mitsuhiko said with an embarrassed smile, "so we didn't hear clearly."
