Conan: I Am Not a Snake Spirit

Zhu Fu Gaoming followed Sawada Hiroki to the front yard, and saw a little ghost lying on the edge of the pond watching Feichi drinking water, he couldn't help turning his head to look at Chi Feichi in the side hall who was concentrating on finding the letter, helplessly Sighed.

He was a little worried. Is it really okay to let such a calm and big-hearted Chi Feichi take care of the children?

Looking at it this way, the heart of the child's parents is big enough.

Sawada Hiroki didn't let Zhu Fu Gaoming worry about it, he didn't move too far forward, and waited for Feichi to come back after swimming around, then took out a handkerchief to wrap Feichi, and looked up at Zhu Fu Gaoming.

Zhu Fu Gaoming understood, turned around and went into the house, "Let's go, do you want me to hug you?"

"No need." Sawada Hiroki lowered his head and wiped the water off Feichi's body with a handkerchief.

Zhu Fu Gaoming looked at the kid who was staggering forward step by step, and sighed again, took a step, stopped for a long time, waited for Sawada Hiroki to catch up, took another step, and stopped for a long time.

When the two returned to the side hall, Chi Feichi had already found all the letters. .

After Chi Kenichi passed away sixteen years ago, everyone sent a letter.

Then thirteen years ago, ten years ago, nine years ago... the senders no longer sent them uniformly. In a certain year, they received three letters, and in a certain year there might be only one letter.

Aoi Kohashi would send a letter every one or two years, and it would end five years ago. Shusaku Akashi sent a letter three years ago, and in the past three years, the six former residents did not send any letters. .

In order to prevent omissions, the two went through it again, and found two letters from the letters sent by Nagano that did not appear to be their real names.

"Mr. Chi should open these two letters for confirmation first," Zhu Fu said wisely.

Chi Feichi opened the above letter, looked at the contents, and found that it seemed to be the pen pal of the old man back then, and handed it to Zhu Fu Gaoming, "Pen pal, the letter stated that he lived in Kyoto, and it was a postcard sent when he traveled to Nagano."

Zhu Fu Gaoming took the letter and looked at it, then carefully restored the letter and the postcard inside, and put it back in the envelope.

"This one doesn't seem to matter." Chi Feichi handed the next opened letter to Zhu Fu Gaoming, "It's an entrepreneur who lived in Nagano more than ten years ago, and seems to be my grandfather's childhood friend. Knowing the news of my grandfather’s death, I sent a letter to remember the past.”

Zhu Fu Gaoming took the letter, read it, and packed it carefully. Looking at the pile of letters that were picked out, he frowned slightly, and said softly, "Are there only those twenty-nine letters? Although there are fewer letters than here, But if you need to find clues from it, you may need to study it several times, and I’m afraid I’ll read it in a while..."

Chi Feichi took out his mobile phone to check the time, and found that it was past five in the afternoon, "Do you remember to go back?"

"I came to Tokyo this time to investigate the people involved in this case. The victim, Mr. Akashi Shusaku, had a conflict with a professor at Toto University two years ago. The other party had some disputes over the commission of illustrations, but the professor went to the hospital last year. Abroad, I didn’t come back until half a month ago. I can’t be the murderer. I have faxed the copies of relevant evidence back to the department, but there are still important evidences here. I told the department that at 8pm It will arrive at noon," Zhu Fu Gaoming patiently explained, and then looked at the pile of letters that were picked out, "But I think it's best for you to read these letters before handing them over to me, that is, Said, either I will go back first, and I will trouble you to take the letter to Nagano tomorrow, or you will take the letter and go back to Nagano with me, no matter what, it seems that it will delay you a lot of time..."

As he said that, Zhu Fu Gaoming suddenly stopped being entangled, and said with a smile, "But if you have time, it might not be a bad thing. What I said before about the friendship between morals and righteousness is also fulfilled. During the time you go to Nagano , I will be responsible for the board and lodging.”

Chi Feichi thought about it, looked at Zhu Fu cleverly and said, "You can go there tonight, but you may not only be responsible for my board and lodging."

After Zhu Fu Gaoming was stunned for a moment, he smiled and bent down to look at the obedient and quiet Mrs. Zheng, "Of course, uncle is also responsible for Xiaoshu's board and lodging. You can tell uncle what you want to eat."

"Actually, there is another person..."

...

Six thirty in the evening.

Koshimizu Nanatsuki was standing on the side of the street with a backpack on his back at the intersection of Mihuacho 5-chome. He saw a white car slowing down and stopped in front of him. Looking at the little guy, he smiled and opened the rear door to get in the car.

The white car left the spot and headed towards the expressway from Tokyo to Nagano.

"I have everything ready, pajamas suitable for sleeping, warm clothes that are easy to put on, small water cups, cold medicine..." Koshimizu Nanatsuki sat in the back seat, opened the backpack, rummaged through a pile of things, from the innermost He took out a small car model and handed it to Hiroki Sawada in front of him, "There are also small toys and snacks to relieve boredom on the road, but eat snacks in moderation."

In the passenger seat, Chi Feichi turned his head and greeted, "Yue Shui, I'm sorry."

Asking Koshimizu Nanatsuki to help buy the things that Sawada Hiroki needs to go out is second. His main purpose is to let Koshimizu Nanatsuki get acquainted in front of Zhu Fu Gaoming. Help those people get acquainted.

If Koshimizu Nanatsuki went to Nagano to investigate in the future, accidentally got involved in the case, or needed to contact the police when he was in trouble, of course, the more policemen he knew, the better.

"It's because I didn't think carefully," Zhu Fu Gaoming sighed with some self-blame while driving, "I've never taken such a small child on a long trip, so I didn't consider that I should prepare some things before departure. "

"It's nothing, it's not too much trouble, I went to the baby products section of the mall, and I bought all these things at once," Nanatsuki Koshimizu looked through his backpack excitedly, "And the clerk also helped recommend a lot of things, For example, diapers and suspenders that are convenient for carrying children, this will probably be used as well.”

Sawada Hiroki: "..."

No, these are most useless.

Chi Feichi: "..."

It can't be said that Yue Shui was fooled by the clerk. If it were a normal one-and-a-half-year-old child going out, taking those would save a lot of trouble.

"Besides, the clerk knew that I was in a hurry to use it, so he rinsed a new water glass for me and filled it with hot water," Koshimizu Nanatsuki satisfactorily counted the 'supplies', took the water glass in his hand and pulled up the backpack Zipper, and then asked in confusion, "But why are you all in such a rush to go to Nagano all of a sudden, and you even have to buy things temporarily?"

"It's actually because of me," Zhu Fu Gaoming said. "Let me introduce myself first. I am a policeman from the Shinno Police Station in Nagano Prefecture. My name is Zhu Fu Gaoming. I am currently investigating a suspected murder case."

"Gao Ming?" Koshimizu Nanatsuki was a little surprised, "That's not..."

"Yes, it's the same pronunciation as Zhuge Kongming, a famous military strategist in the Three Kingdoms period in ancient China," Zhu Fu Gaoming explained, "but the way of writing is different."

"Kong Ming from class A of the second year..." Koshimizu Nanatsuki recalled, "In that mystery novel, the background seems to be Nagano County, and the protagonist is a pupil with the same name as Zhuge Kongming. He is obviously just a pupil, but he is extremely smart. , calm, and the author, Ms. Akashi Aoi, is also from Nagano Prefecture.”

"The protagonist of that mystery novel is indeed based on me..." Zhu Fu Gaoming turned his head to look at Chi Feichi, and explained, "Miss Xiaoqiaokui and I are elementary school classmates, although I have not been asked not to continue investigation, but for this reason, I thought it would be better for Feichi to take those letters with me to the Xinye Police Station, rather than for me to take the letters back by myself."

Chi Feichi nodded, expressing his understanding.

Zhu Fu Gaoming told Koshimizu Nanatsuki the reason why he went to Chi Feichi, and explained the process of deciding to go to Nagano.

"So that's how it is. Four of the six residents who originally lived there left the House of Hope one after another. Only Ms. Kobashi Aoi and Mr. Akashi Shusaku stayed and got married there," Koshimizu Nanatsuki murmured, sorting out his thoughts. He looked up at Zhu Fu Gaoming who was driving in the front seat again, "Officer Zhu Fu, you said that Miss Xiaoqiaokui passed away three years ago, because I have read her mystery novels and paid attention to her affairs. I heard that she died of illness. Passed away, may I ask if her health has been very bad?"

"Her heart has always been bad," Zhu Fu Gaoming said, "Three years ago, when she was looking for things in the warehouse, she suddenly had a heart attack and collapsed."

"Didn't she bring any medicine with her? Where's her husband, Mr. Zhou Zuo?" Koshimizu Nanatsuki paused and apologized, "I'm sorry, I just think that in the past three years, the remaining young couples in the House of Hope passed away one after another. And Mr. Zhou Zuo was also determined to be a homicide, I want to confirm whether there is any problem with Miss Xiaoqiaokui's death."

"It's nothing, you just asked the key point," Zhu Fu Gaoming suddenly had the feeling that "this is the normal communication mode of intelligent reasoning people", and he felt that the communication with Chi Feichi before was not normal at all. Reasoning ability, he felt that Chi Feichi should be able to notice these problems, but he just didn't ask, as if there was no such thing as curiosity at all, "Three years ago, when Miss Xiaokui had a heart attack, Zhou Zuo was painting in the studio. However, there was no discovery at all. When he found Miss Xiaokui in the warehouse, Miss Xiaokui had been dead for a long time, but after investigation, the police were able to confirm that there was no doubt about Miss Xiaokui's death. It was indeed just a tragic accident, that is, from After that, people in the neighborhood started calling the House of Hope the House of Death without any hope."

"House of Hope really brought hope to those people, didn't it?" Koshimizu Nanatsuki expressed dissatisfaction with the change of title.

Even after listening to what Zhu Fu Gaoming said, she admired old Mr. Chi Jianyi, and that was Chi Feichi's grandfather. Those people called the House of Hope the House of Death because of an accident... She felt that those people were out of their minds. ill!

"Those people nearby just feel sorry for Miss Xiaokui's death," Zhu Fu Gaoming suddenly wanted to push Chi Feichi, and deliberately sighed, "Although I also think it's unfair to Mr. Jianyi, but this time Mr. Zhou Zuo died there, and the scene was very strange, I think the rumors about the curse in the Hall of Death will spread more seriously."

Isn't Mr. Chi curious? Don't you want to wash away the 'stains' for your grandfather's kind deeds back then?

If you want to know, just ask him.

He was more curious, whether a certain person was too calm and kept not asking him, or was he really lacking in curiosity.

Chi Feichi looked down at Hiroki Sawada dismantling and reassembling all the toy car models, without paying any attention to the topic.

Regardless of whether it's the House of Hope or the House of Death, it's called whatever it is, it's just a false name, and the Chi family will not lose a piece of meat.

A place with such a harmless name as 'Twilight Pavilion' may not be a kind place. There are far more people who have died than the Death Pavilion.
