Conan: I Am Not a Snake Spirit

"Yeah," the administrator smiled and sighed again, "That was when Mr. Motomachi was still alive, he seemed to bring Mr. Chi to find some photos, and asked someone to make a photocopy of the photos, and then Ms. Elizabeth passed away He worked hard for two days before sending that photo to Mr. Chi's room."

"What pictures are they looking for?"

Conan pretended to look innocent and curious, and wondered if it was related to this incident, "Were they the only two who came here at that time?"

For example, Chi Feichi came here for another purpose. He was investigating something with Motomachi Qingzo, but just after finding important clues, Motomachi Qingzo died...

In that case, he would have to consider whether the investigation direction of the incident should be changed.

The administrator recalled, "That day, Ms. Elizabeth, Ms. Tsurumi, Mr. Dashan and the lady Hongzi who had left were all present. It seemed that Ms. Elizabeth was taking them to visit Jiangshenyuan. Mr. Chi suddenly mentioned some photos, and they We came here together, since Motomachi-san personally received him, so I don't know exactly what kind of photo it is."

"Yeah……"

As soon as Conan heard that so many people were present, he knew that his guess was wrong. If it was a secret discussion or investigation, it would be impossible to bring so many people, so it should be just taking some photos by the way, "By the way, that is what Ms. Elizabeth did before she died. How many days? Did she actually take Brother Chi and the others to visit Jiangshenyuan in person? "

"It was probably two days before Ms. Elizabeth passed away," the administrator sighed. "Actually, Ms. Elizabeth has been ill for a long time. During the two days when Mr. Chi and the others came over, they seemed to suddenly become more energetic. Some people speculate that this old man who is over a hundred years old Will it be able to create another miracle? Some people say that it is just a flashback, but Ms. Elizabeth is considered to be at the end of her life, and she did not suffer any crimes when she died..."

Conan nodded, thinking that "returning to the light" is also reasonable, so he didn't take it to heart, sat at the table and opened the copy of the newspaper to read.

During the period, the hotel manager came once and asked someone to bring afternoon tea and a plate of snacks, and left without further disturbance.

Hui Yuanai sat aside, drinking afternoon tea leisurely, and after Conan read all the copies of the newspaper, he said, "I remember that Mr. Dashan mentioned to us that they have already found out about the Sophia incident back then. You deliberately didn’t go back to your room and ran here to read the newspapers secretly, do you suspect that there is something wrong with them?”

"Please, I just want to see if I've overlooked anything," Conan raised his hand and rubbed the center of his brows, "I won't go back, I'm just worried that Yuantai and the others will pester me to ask questions, now I don't understand the murderer's method at all , I'm really not in the mood to explain something to them...By the way, since Yuan Tai saw me coming in the lobby on the first floor, why didn't they come looking for me?"

"The doctor and I guess that you are not in the mood to deal with them. Tell them, brother Feichi is sleeping in the room. It is very dangerous to leave brother Feichi alone, but it is impossible for everyone to leave anyone behind, so why not leave him alone?" The living room of the suite is waiting for you to bring the clues back, so it can be regarded as holding them back temporarily," Hui Yuanai reminded with some gloating, "So if you don't get anything, it may be difficult to get rid of their entanglement, then, you read it again Have you found these newspapers?"

"No, it is worth noting that some children in their teens were seen fleeing at that time. This has been discovered before. Also, it only said that Sophia's body was found, and did not mention the baby's body. With the police force in those years, it should be the default that Sophia's son was burned to death together, but Mr. Miura also said that during that period, Elizabeth often went to help Sophia take care of the child. The child was probably with Elizabeth on the night of the fire. It was a fluke. I escaped..." Conan said, got up and walked to the bookshelf, looked at the books on it, found a photo album from the dust traces, and took it back to the table, "After that, for some reason, Elizabeth concealed that he was still alive. In the matter of being alive, after decades, he heard some secrets about his mother's death from somewhere, and thus launched revenge on the detective team back then, which was also thought of before."

"According to the age, that child should be in his sixties now, and there are quite a few people at this age in Egamibara," Haibara Ai was thinking, looking at Conan who was flipping through the album, "Father Sakuragi who has been taking care of Ms. Tsurumi all the time. It is doubtful, but it may be that his personality is like this, and there should be no clues in the album. The child was only about one year old at the time. Even if there were photos, they were only photos of his infancy. It is difficult to guess from the photos that he is now. Even if I give it to the doctor to use software to make his sixty-year-old appearance, it is unlikely to get accurate results..."

"Yeah, I didn't expect any clues in the album. I was just a little curious about what photo Brother Chi was looking for. It's not bad to put the case aside for a while and let my brain cool down. I took it down, it should be..." Conan stopped flipping through the photo album, looked at a black and white photo on it, and found that it was copied and printed recently, curiously pulled out the photo.

Hui Yuanai looked sideways, just in time to see the signature on the back of the photo, "Huh?"

"What's wrong?" Conan flipped through the photo, looked at the signatures of 'A.H.Field', 'Michell', 'Xiumi', and the date '1952.5' on it, a little surprised, "I remember Brother Chi said that his grandmother His name is..."

"Anastasia-Hessel-Field, the abbreviation is A.H.Field..." Hui Yuanai read out softly without any mistakes, and looked closely at the lazy Yujiefeng woman in the photo, the corners of her mouth could not help but reveal Smiling, "Such domineering, two completely different styles from my godmother."

Conan looked at the black and white photo in his hand and turned into a curious baby, "Then the other two..."

"This man is probably Brother Feichi's grandfather." Hui Yuanai looked at the man with a soft expression on the photo, moved his eyes down, looked at the boy in the photo, and said, "As for this child, I don't know very well. .”

"It seems that the three of them are very close, and they look like a family no matter what." Conan looked at the handshake of the woman and the boy in the photo, and asked curiously, "Isn't Mrs. Kanai an only child?"

"I don't know, she didn't mention the godmother." Huiyuan looked at the three people in the photo, "When this photo was taken, my godmother was not born yet, this boy should be about ten years older than her, if he It's my godmother's elder brother, so my godmother doesn't have to worry about inheriting the Field family inheritance, does she?"

"Because I haven't heard that there are other heirs in the Field family, everyone assumes that Mrs. Ganai is the only child, but counting her age, Mrs. Anastasia was about forty years old when she gave birth to Mrs. Ganai. A century ago, very few people gave birth to their first child at the age of forty." Conan looked at the boy in the photo and asked seriously, "And don't you think this photo is a bit strange?"

"Strange?" Hui Yuanai looked up and down the people in the photo, not even letting go of the background. .

"I'm talking about this boy's eyes," Conan reminded, frowning, "When I first saw the photo, I thought his eyes were very strange. focal length."

"You want to say that because the older child in the family has physical defects, it makes sense for the younger daughter to inherit the family business, right?" Hui Yuanai thought, "But I have never heard of Brother Feichi and The godmother mentioned that there is such a number one person in the family, and I have never heard anyone say that the godmother has an older brother, isn't that strange?"

Conan thought of how Chi Feichi seemed to be walking freely in the dark after his incarnation in July, and became more and more suspicious that the boy in the photo had a close relationship with Chi Feichi, and then thought of some of Chi Feichi's previous behaviors, he couldn't help laughing, "It's very strange, I I think my previous guess was half right, Brother Chi may have another purpose when he came to Jiangshen..."

Suddenly brought Dashan Mi and a girl to Jiangshenyuan. It may be that Chi Feichi and that girl have known Elizabeth for a long time and came to visit Elizabeth who might not be able to survive this time. But Chi Feichi came here to find this photo. Seizo Motomachi left the photocopies, took the original photos with him, proposed to go to the library to investigate, and indeed walked out of the Egamihara Historical Celebrity Notes collection area...

He suspected that another purpose of Chi Fei's belated coming to Jiang Shenyuan was to track down the traces of his ancestors, isn't that reasonable?

But it should have nothing to do with this case.

The two discussed it. When Conan put the photo album back on the shelf, he found that there was another book on the other side that had been taken out recently. He stepped forward and took it out, "The history of Jiang Shenyuan's opening of Hong Kong?"

"Did Brother Feichi read it at that time?" Hui Yuan Ai was speechless at the curiosity of a famous detective, and was even more speechless at the fact that Conan did not investigate the case and instead investigated Chi Feichi. After seeing the traces on the bookshelf, he changed his mind, "Looking at the dust on the bookshelf, no one has touched it for at least a month. Brother Feichi couldn't have read this book."

"Yeah," Conan opened the book, looked down at the content and walked back to the table, "The administrator said that only brother Chi has been here recently, probably in the last few days, looking at the traces, this person is one older than brother Chi Been here for many months... Huh?!"

"This is..." Seeing that Conan's expression froze, Haibara approached with doubts, "The map of Jiang Shenyuan's previous city gas pipeline?"

Conan stared at the old drawings inside the pages of the book, put the drawings and the book on the table with a solemn expression, opened the drawings, and pointed to a place above, "This is Jiangshenyuan Elementary School when Mr. Toda died. It was originally a In the residences of rich people, the gas pipes used to pass through the basement. At that time, the gas pipes were supposed to be used for lighting, but after the city was connected to electricity, the gas pipes had been abandoned, but what method could the murderer use to make Mr. Toda Fall asleep, and then inject tap water into the basement through the gas pipe, wait for the tap water to submerge to a certain height, and then inject the smell of elderflower fragrance..."

"This is a hotel," Huiyuan Ai pointed to another location, "There are also gas pipes from the past, which are only concentrated in some directions on the first floor. The murderer can block the pipes in other directions and inject some flammable gas into the pipes. Explosive gas, fill Mr. Motomachi's room with that gas, and then wait for Mr. Motomachi to ignite when he smokes."
