Conan: I Am Not a Snake Spirit

Mu Mu Shisan nodded, turned to look at Chi Feichi, and asked doubtfully, "Then, brother Chi, do you have any idea about the letter saying that you 'help people who want to get these things'? Can you think of it?" Why did the murderer send a threatening letter to you, an irrelevant person? Or, are you trying to help someone recently?"

Conan also looked up at Chi Feichi.

That's right, there were no black rust fragments in the envelope. In other words, this letter might have been prepared temporarily by the murderer, and it wasn't packaged together with the previous threatening letter.

All he could think of was what Chi Feichi was doing or doing in the past two days, which touched the murderer's sensitive nerves, and made the murderer suddenly include Chi Feichi in the attack list.

"No," Chi Feichi shook his head and said, "I never tried to help someone in the will."

In fact, he knew why the other party ambushed him.

He made a speech in the herbal hall to test Sakuragi Isao and Tsurumi Yoko, trying to force the murderer to avoid other people to come to him and ask him how much he knew.

However, the murderer obviously couldn't trust him, and chose a more ingenious way to use the image of a woman with a hooked nose who seemed to have been through a fire, in turn to test whether he knew about Sophia, and how much he knew...

If he's dead, whatever he knows won't be able to speak and won't be a threat anymore.

If he survives by luck, knows about Sophia and tells the police, the murderer is also confident that his identity will not be known to outsiders.

This is a cautious, cunning and crazy criminal. It's just a pity that he is on guard against him, and some of the detectives around him are ignored. In this way, they test him in turn, almost revealing half of his identity.

"Feichi, what about Ms. Tsurumi?" Mori Kogoro asked Chi Feichi, "Compared with other people in the will, you have a much better relationship with her, and she is a child raised by Ms. Elizabeth. She has been taking care of Ms. during her illness, do you think she should inherit the will, so you want to help her contact a lawyer to fight for it?"

"Teacher," Chi Feichi looked at Mori Kogoro calmly, "I have a good relationship with Elizabeth, and I respect Elizabeth's last wish more."

"Uh, is that so..." Mori Kogoro scratched his head in sweat, "I remember you said that you have something to do with elderberry, what exactly do you mean? Could it be related to this?"

Miura Joji's face froze, "Pick, elderberry?"

"That's right, in the basement where Mr. Toda was drowned, in this explosion site, and in the room where Brother Chi was attacked, there are similar sweet floral scents. You can smell a little bit of that scent now, right?" Mu Shisan looked at Chi Feichi, "Brother Chi has confirmed that it is the fragrance of elderflower."

"Speaking of which," Mori Kogoro and Megu Shisan exchanged glances, "could it be because Feichi told us that it was elderflower fragrance, so the murderer would target him?"

"No, there is no murderer at all, it must be done by a witch," Miura Joji panicked, "It must be!"

"That's not impossible," Mori Kogoro confirmed to Chi Feichi, "Feichi, the man you saw was wearing a black robe, with a hooked nose, and his face seems to have been burned badly, right? Just think about it." I feel completely like a witch..."

"ah!"

Miura Joji exclaimed palely, his whole body went limp, he fell to his knees with a plop, and murmured dully, "How is it possible... the witch is resurrected, she is the one who resurrected..."

"Witch?" Mori Kogoro leaned down, stretched out his hand to hold Miura Joji's arm, and asked with a serious expression, "Mr. Miura, I remember I asked you before if there was any suspect who sent a threatening letter. You hesitated." Mine, right? Is there something you're hiding from us?"

"Mr. Miura," Megu Shisan also persuaded with a serious expression, "Now two people have been killed, and you and Brother Chi who received the threatening letter have also been targeted by the murderer, and there may be more in the future." Many people have been killed, and if you know something, I hope you will stop hiding it."

"this……"

Miura Joji was worried that he would be retaliated even worse if he said that he was a "witch", but at the same time he felt that his life would be in danger if he didn't say so. He might as well confess to the police, maybe the police could catch the witch and he would be fine.

"Mr. Miura..."

The three children looked at Joji Miura with expectant and worried eyes.

Miura Joji looked up at the three children, and made a choice in the dilemma of "stretching the head out, and shrinking the head is also dead", sighed, stood up with the support of Takagi Tsutomu, "I didn't want to say Yes, that is Jiang Shenyuan's shame, but now, let me tell you, the elderberry originally grew in that mansion..."

"That mansion?" Mu Mu Shisan asked anxiously, "Where do you mean?"

Joji Miura swallowed, "Ms. Elizabeth's daughter, Sophia's house."

Chi Feichi glanced at Joji Miura, but did not choose to correct him.

Calculating the age, when Sophia died, Joji Miura should have been a child under ten years old. It is normal not to know that the elderberry in Sophia's family was transplanted from the herbal medicine hall.

"What?" Mumu Shisan confirmed in surprise, "Does Ms. Elizabeth have a daughter?"

Conan was not surprised, he remembered the photo on the wall of the herbal medicine hall.

It was a faded black-and-white photo of a middle-aged woman cuddling up with a young woman with a face resembling Tsurumi Yoko.

Joji Miura nodded, "I remember that Sophia was the same age as my mother. I have met her several times. From my perspective as a child, I also thought that Sophia was incomparably beautiful at that time, but after that I never saw her again."

"Have you seen each other again?" Mori Kogoro confirmed doubtfully.

"That's right, after Miss Sophia married a Japanese, she left the foreign mansion area, rented a house in the area where Japanese people usually live, and lived with her husband, but it didn't take long..." Miura Takeshi She recalled once, "I remember that not long after the birth of her and her husband's child, the war broke out, her husband joined the army, and then something happened, she began to be called a witch by the children, and the place where she lived was also called The Witch's Mansion."

Mori Kogoro was fascinated by the story, and asked, "What happened?"

"Miss Sophia and her husband have a very good relationship, and they will be together wherever they go. The people around them are very envious when they see their love," Miura Takeuji sighed, "But since her husband joined the army, Sophia's whole life People have changed, they have become hysterical, their moods are capricious, sometimes they laugh suddenly, sometimes they fall silent, they may be crying one minute, and then run to the pier the next minute, staring at the sea in a daze..."

"Sophia must be sick," Guangyan looked at Chi Feichi quietly, couldn't help saying aloud, and then confirmed it firmly, "It must be!"

Ayumi also sneaked a glance at Chi Feichi, and nodded seriously, "It's just that her illness is in her heart, which is different from everyone else."

Chi Feichi was a little speechless, turned around and walked to the big window, looked at the street outside the window, took out a cigarette with his back to a group of people and bit it.

He had just recalled Sophia's appearance at that time, and before his emotions arose, these people secretly glanced at him one by one...

Not only the three, Doctor, Xiao Ai, Xiaolan, Conan, and his Maori teacher are also looking at him, but they are a little more hidden and restrained than the three children, don't think he can't feel it!

When did he become moody? When did you get hysterical? These people really have no points in their hearts!

Mao Lilan looked at Chi Feichi with some concern, thinking that Chi Feichi's staying away might be good for his mood, but thinking about Sophia, he felt a little touched, "She has been waiting for that person who doesn't know when she will come back. ah."

Feeling guilty, Conan hesitated for a moment, walked to Chi Feichi who was in front of the window, turned his back to the window, and looked at the group of people who were talking.

He couldn't face the disappointment in Xiaolan's eyes, so he had better stand a little further away, find Chi Feichi, and join the 'self-deception avoidance group' temporarily.

"In the beginning, people thought of her and Elizabeth's help to everyone over the years, and there were still many people who could understand her and worried about her," Miura Joji continued, "However, after the news of her husband's death came back. Afterwards, her condition worsened, and she began to lock herself at home, concocting herbs all day and night. At that time, people had different opinions, guessing that she was concocting some medicine that could bring her husband back to life, that is, After that, Sophia's condition became more and more serious, and it developed to the point that everyone would find it weird. For example, she would run around in the forest late at night, or soak in sea water in winter and look at the sea for hours. She was also dressed in a mess, and sometimes she would walk up and down the street with bare feet, her face was haggard, and her originally straight nose became hooked... She was such a beautiful woman, but she became like that, It's unbelievable...”

"yes……"

The three children imagined the changes in Sophia, their eyes blushed with embarrassment, and then they suddenly imagined that Chi Feichi's clothes were disheveled and his face was haggard...

Sure enough, I couldn't figure it out.

It can be imagined how unbelievable the people in Jiangshenyuan were at that time, and it didn't stop them from worrying in their hearts. They took a quick look at Chi Feichi with cautious eyes, and felt more at ease after making sure that Chi Feichi was dressed formally and his aura was still the same.

Chi Feichi, who turned his back on a group of people smoking: "..."

Can you stop peeking at him? He can feel the baptism of the eyes, but he will not become like that, thank you.

Haibara Ai thought about her brother's inability to tell the difference between seasons, summer, autumn and winter, and always forgetting to add clothes, and sighed, "Miss Feisuoya's behavior is not what she wants. The people around her should take care of her more. That's how she gets better."

"During that time, her mother, Ms. Elizabeth, was taking care of the business of the herbal shop, while taking time to take care of her and her children. She seemed to think that taking care of the children was very troublesome, so she often left the children at home and went out alone. , " Miura Joji's eyes also flashed sadness and unbearable color, "Seeing her like that, there are unsympathetic bad boys who start to call her 'witch' in front of her..."

"It's too much!" Ayumi couldn't help frowning.

"That's right," Yuan Tai clenched his fists and rolled up his sleeves, "If I meet such abominable guys, I must teach them a lesson!"
