Conan: I Am Not a Snake Spirit

After Chi Feichi bought ice cream and some snacks along the way, when he returned to the dress shop, the customers who were crowded in the shop had already left.

The short-haired girl was standing in front of the counter, talking to Koshimizu Nanatsuki and Haibara Ai, while packing things into shopping paper bags, when she heard the jingle of someone entering the door, she looked up and smiled professionally, "Sorry, we already...huh?"

Yue Shui Nanatsuki saw that Chi Feichi was holding a bunch of things in his hand, and hurried forward to help him pick up two snack bags, "Why did you buy so many things?"

"Feichi wants to eat ice cream, so I bought you ice cream and snacks by the way."

Chi Fei came up late to distribute ice cream, one for each person. Of course, the short-haired girl and another clerk also had a share.

"Ah, thank you." After receiving the ice cream, the short-haired girl quickly thanked her and said, "Put your things on the counter first, we have put up a sign that we are closed for business, and we plan to clean up and close the shop early today to go home , and there will be no more guests coming."

Next to him, another clerk watched as Chi Feichi put away the shopping bags and handed the remaining snack bag to Nanatsuki Yueshui, laughing and teasing, "However, Detective Yueshui's boyfriend is really considerate. I wish someone would help me buy a bunch of snacks while I was shopping..."

Koshimizu Nanatsuki was taken aback for a moment, then smiled shyly and waved her hands, "No, it's not her boyfriend."

"Huh?" The short-haired girl looked at Hui Yuan Ai in surprise, "Isn't it? I thought you were helping your boyfriend take care of your sister just now."

Hui Yuanai nodded silently in her heart, she also felt the same way, but...

"It's just a friend I've known for a long time," Koshimizu Nanatsuki said with a smile, "He's still my landlord now!"

Haibara Ai:"……"

These two people are really in no hurry!

A group of girls, big and small, also quickly moved their positions, sat on the sofa for people to rest, and ate snacks and ice cream.

Chi Feichi sat aside, helped Feichi hold the ice cream, stared at Feichi to eat in moderation, and listened to the four girls chatting from Feichi to other pets, a little suspicious that he would not be able to go back until midnight tonight.

Seeing that Chi Feichi didn't eat, the short-haired girl poured him a cup of tea. This posture of preparing to chat for another two hours made Chi Feichi even more worried.

"Speaking of pets, Mr. Chi is a graduate of the Veterinary Medicine Department of Dongdu University." Koshimizu Nanatsuki looked at Chi Feichi and teased with a smile, "Only he can take good care of an uncommon pet like a snake. ..."

The short-haired girl was a little surprised, "Has Mr. Chi graduated from college? You can't tell at all!"

"Graduated ahead of schedule," Hui Yuan Ai was suddenly proud of his schoolmaster brother, and he felt proud, but he should be more reserved, "But he doesn't work in the pet hospital now, and only occasionally goes there to help. "

Chi Feichi saw that Koshimizu Nanatsuki and Huihara Ai were chatting so enthusiastically, and picked up the teacup to drink tea.

Forget it, it's a good thing for girls to chat with their friends more. He is ready to stay up until dawn, and he doesn't believe that these girls won't go home.

...

An underground parking lot.

Okiya Subaru walked around outside, came back after eating, looked at the red Lexus s parked in the parking space, returned to his car, lowered the window, lit a cigarette and waited silently.

When he went for a stroll on the street, he was worried that Mr. Chi and Shirley would leave first, but he didn't expect to come and drive.

Didn't you agree to just come for a stroll? Why so late? Nothing will happen, will it?

Wait... Mister Chi must have run into another incident, right?

...

dress shop.

A group of girls chatted and finished their food.

After the short-haired girl and her colleagues cleaned up the store and closed the store, the investigation team went to the short-haired girl's house together.

Through the previous chat, Chi Feichi also knew the information about the girl with short hair.

Mikako Iwate, 24 years old, works as a clerk in a clothing store. She currently lives near Akihabara, not far from the bustling commercial area, but it is considered a remote road, with lower rent prices and more dark alleys on the road.

A group of people walked nearby, there was silence everywhere, the street lights were dim, and they couldn't shine in those alleys. It was indeed scary enough for a woman living alone to go home in the middle of the night.

"Mr. Chi and Xiao Ai are going to stay at my house tonight?" Mikako Iwate smiled helplessly, "This section of the road is like this, and occasionally some strange people will come and go in and out of these alleys. Some time ago, the police even caught them. The two people who traded illegal drugs here, the nearby residents seldom go out at night, which made the law and order in this area a lot worse at night. If you don't mind, I don't have many things in the living room, just tidy them up It will be one night."

"No, you don't have to worry about our safety." Chi Feichi looked at the dark alleys, silently noted down this place suitable for black transactions, and observed the environment in advance.

This can be regarded as an occupational disease after joining the organization.

"My brother's skill is very good, and many professional karate players will not be his opponent," Hui Yuanai said, feeling proud again, feeling in her heart that her brother easily made her proud, so she restrained herself silently, watching Looking around, "However, the environment here is really not good. The girl lives here alone, and she has to go home alone after work at night. No matter how you think about it, it is very dangerous. Have you ever considered moving to another place?"

"I used to work in Akihabara, and it is still the same now. The price of renting a house here is not high, and it doesn't take long to go to the store. If you go to other renting houses, the distance is still too far away, and I can't find a suitable one for a while. place," Mikako Iwate sighed, and smiled again, "Actually, it's okay during the day, and I don't want to change jobs. I work in this dress shop. Although it is sometimes very busy, the salary is high. The owner She is also a very good aunt. This time I heard that I met a stalker, and she specially told us to close the door earlier at night, so that I can go back early, and wait until I catch the stalker. I heard about it for a while, here The police station will add a few patrol officers responsible for night patrols, and I think the time will be much better."

Chi Feichi remembered silently.

After a while, there will be more patrols patrolling at night. If you choose this place as a trading place, you should pay attention.

"If you want, please continue to pay attention to the rental information, and I will help you to pay attention, at least wait until the law and order in this area improves before considering continuing to live..." Yueshui Nanatsuki said, seeing the roadside ahead Pointing at the phone booth, he turned to Chi Feichi and said, "Mr. Chi, this is the phone booth where she saw that stalker."

Chi Feichi withdrew his idea of ​​'preparing for the organization', walked to the phone booth, and watched the glass on the phone booth reflect the road behind him, "Miss Iwate, when you saw that stalker, he was probably how far away you were." Far?"

"This..." Mikako Iwate looked at Chi Feichi's reflection on the glass, then looked back at the road behind her, "It's not far from the intersection, about ten meters away, I haven't seen him clearly , recognized him by his hat and scarf."

"For a stalker who dares to make phone calls and take other people's things, the stalking distance is too far," Chi Feichi turned his head to look at the back road, "We walked into a secluded road for about five minutes before we got here. It is to intimidate you, he should take advantage of this time to get closer, and according to what you said, the apartment you live in is at the intersection in front of the second building, if he is less than five meters away from you on this section of the road, After you've turned the corner, he's easy to shake off."

"So, are there really two people who harassed Mikako?" Koshimizu Nanatsuki stroked her chin and thought, "At least the person who took her out of the house knows where her home is..."

"Not only that, but she lives on the second floor. People who live here rarely go out at night, and the lights in the living room and bedroom will be turned on from time to time." Chi Feichi looked at the old apartment buildings at the intersection in front of him, "If She didn't feel that the other party followed her upstairs. The other party only relied on the indoor lights downstairs, and it was difficult to know which floor she was in. Everything is familiar, this should not be wrong.”

Some clues can only be grasped by seeing them on the spot.

"That, that is to say, is there a stalker who has been following me for a long time?" Mikako Iwate's scalp was numb when she heard it, and she silently leaned towards Nanatsuki Koshimizu, and her face turned pale instantly when she saw the garbage collection place beside her. , took two steps back in fright, and let out a low exclamation, "Ah! That...that..."

There was already a lot of garbage piled up in the garbage collection place, and in the corner, the handle of an umbrella stretched out to the road, and there were some girls' things like pink jewelry boxes.

Koshimizu Nanatsuki recognized those sundries at a glance, frowned and said in a low voice, "It's what Mikako left outside the door..."

"Dingling...jingling..."

Coincidentally, Mikako Iwate's cell phone rang, took it out and looked at the number displayed on the screen, her right hand trembled, and she was about to cry out in fright, "Yes, it's that number, he's still staring at me ..."

Chi Feichi reached out to take the phone from Mikako Iwate, pressed the answer button, and listened quietly to the commotion over there.

The people over there were also silent, not saying a word.

The TV is playing the sound of a horse betting program...

The sound of water boiling in the water heater...

The sound of branches being blown by the wind against the glass of the window...

The sound of tapping something lightly...

A little further away, there seems to be the subtle sound of the mall building playing advertisements...

'number 3! No. 3 swordsmen of the Edogawa era surpassed No. 1...'

'If you want your kids to have the perfect holiday experience...'

The holiday hosting summer camp and winter camp advertisement that Yoko Okino received was indeed placed on the TV station recently, but there is only one mall that will broadcast this kind of advertisement, and it is the building where the hosting company is located.

He remembered the location, it was Chiyoda Ward just like here, but it was closer to Bunkyo Ward, not too close to here.

The sound of the wind is louder than what they felt on the flat ground. There are green plants that can wipe the windows nearby. The place of residence is on the third floor. In addition, the sound of advertisements can be heard clearly when the windows are closed or half-closed. Not far from the building...

It's in those low apartments next to the cultural amusement park!

In addition, thanks to his teacher's attention to horse betting, he heard Kogoro Mori talk about the schedule of the champion horse "Swordsman of the Edogawa Era".

Except for the day Kogoro Mori paid attention to, the number of the race was 4, and the race at 3:00 pm the day before yesterday, the race number was 2, and the race at 12:00 noon today, the race number was 3.

Today's rebroadcast will be at ten o'clock in the evening, and it is only eight o'clock in the evening. That is to say, the other party is watching the video of the horse race at twelve noon today.

It's twelve o'clock at noon, but don't have time to watch horse racing programs or listen to horse racing broadcasts...
