Conan: I Am Not a Snake Spirit

On the other side, Mikako Iwate led the investigation team to the apartment building where she lived.

As soon as he reached the second floor, Chi Feichi began to knock on the door next to Mikako Iwate.

"Boom boom boom..."

Mikako Iwate stood at the door of her house in a daze, "Ike, Mr. Ike?"

"When I was downstairs, I saw the light of the TV set behind the living room window, and there seemed to be a figure in front of the window. Do you know who lives next door?"

Chi Feichi asked, then continued to knock on the door.

He suspected that there was another stalker near Mikako Iwate, so it would be better to watch their suspicious neighbor downstairs who didn't make much noise from the window at home with the silent TV on and the lights turned off this night.

After all, Koshimizu Nanatsuki and Iwate Mikako didn't seem to have mentioned this neighbor next door before. After Mikako Iwate lost something outside her house, the two didn't seem to think of asking the neighbors, but only asked the mother-in-law downstairs.

This person's sense of existence is really low.

Or, does Mikako Iwate really have a neighbor next door?

Mikako Iwate was taken aback, she lowered her hand holding the door key, and looked at the door next door, "Is there someone living next to me?"

Koshimizu Nanatsuki felt a chill rushing over her head, and quietly took a step forward, keeping Haibara Ai and Iwate Mikako behind her, her eyes fixed on the door that hadn't been opened yet.

She heard Mikako Iwate say that 'there are very few people living in this building' and 'only the mother-in-law downstairs is familiar'. She has never heard Mikako Iwate say that she has neighbors, and she has lived here for two days. The sound of people living in the houses on both sides.

Could it be that next door to Mikako Iwate, a pervert sneaked in and has been watching them quietly these days?

Scary to think about.

Huihara Ai did not try to be brave, and stood behind Yueshui Nanatsuki with the same serious and dignified expression, but she was thinking about whether to act separately and go around the window to block people.

What if the other party jumped out of the window and escaped?

"Crack."

The door was opened with a gap. A young man wearing black-rimmed glasses, handsome features and neat clothes stood in the entrance. He looked very introverted. Lifting his eyes and quickly glanced at the four people outside, his voice was soft and gentle, "Excuse me... what's the matter?"

"Mr. Shibatani?" Mikako Iwate looked very surprised when she saw the man.

Koshimizu Nanatsuki looked at the man vigilantly, "Mikako, do you know him?"

Mikako Iwate nodded in a daze, and after regaining her senses, she turned her head and introduced to Chi Feichi, Koshimizu Nanatsuki, and Haibara Ai, "He is Mr. Susumu Shibagumi who rented the house to me. My mother rented this place for me. , I only saw Mr. Shibagu on the day I moved here, and he helped me move things, but... I, I didn’t know he lived next door.”

Chai Gujin raised his eyes to look at the four people, especially Chi Feichi who looked indifferent, and stayed focused for a while before moving away, explaining in a soft voice, "These two adjacent houses were originally built by my parents and my family. My uncle lives here. My uncle has only one child. After he and his child went abroad a few years ago, he transferred the ownership of the house to me. However, I work in Wenjing District and don’t usually live here. I just came here today when I have time. By the way Stay here for one night."

Chi Feichi looked past Chai Gujin and looked at the shoes placed at the entrance, "Next time you tell someone that, remember to wash your shoes frequently."

There are two pairs of men's shoes in the entrance, a pair of leather shoes and a pair of sneakers.

Although the living room is dimly lit, you can still see a fresh stain on the side of the shoe, which was recently left.

According to what Chai Gujin said, he just came here tonight to have a look and stay overnight, so how could he leave behind two pairs of shoes that were recently worn and suitable for different occasions?

And it was so late, Chai Gujin turned off the lights in the living room, and only turned on the TV. It didn't look like there were guests. If there were guests, the other party should come and see them during the time they were talking, or Chai Gujin would also mention it. to 'Friend is asleep or drunk, please keep your voice down'.

That's most likely Chai Gujin is lying, he has been living here for a few days.

Chai Gujin turned his head to look at the shoes at the entrance, his expression froze in place, he didn't know whether it was nervousness or embarrassment.

"Mr. Shiatani, is it convenient for us to come in and sit for a while?" Koshimizu Nanatsuki thought of Shiiya Jin's behavior of blocking the door all the time, and made a serious sound, "Mikako has encountered trouble recently, I want to tell you, of course, if If you have any reasons why it is inconvenient for us to go in, you can also say it directly."

Chai Gujin was silent for a moment, then sighed, turned on the light in the living room, and made way sideways, "Okay, okay, please come in."

"excuse me."

Yueshui Nanatsuki entered the door, and when Chai Gujin bent down to look for slippers from the cabinet, he saw the scarves and hats stuffed in the cabinet at a glance. Although he had expected it, he was still stunned, and looked at the embarrassed Chai Gujin .

He is tall and thin, not gloomy, but he looks similar to Mr. Chi, with a relatively introverted personality, not as energetic as others.

So she was reluctant to believe that this young man would be a stalker.

Mikako Iwate followed Koshimizu Nanatsuki's gaze and recognized that the hat and scarf belonged to a certain stalker. She looked at Susumu Shibatani in surprise, "That hat..."

"Let's go in and talk."

Chai Gujin sighed again, and after the four of them changed their shoes and entered the room, they went to make tea and served it on the table, then sat on the sofa, bowed their heads and remained silent.

Koshimizu Nanatsuki was vigilant, seeing that no one else, including Haibara Ai, had any plans to touch the teacup, she felt relieved and asked, "Mr. Shibatani, are you staring at Mikako, following Mikako on Akihabara Street, and why are you here?" You're the one who dumps the stuff she left at the door in the trash, right?"

Chai Gujin still lowered his head and nodded slightly.

"Why did you do that?" Mikako Iwate asked puzzled, "Are you trying to scare me?"

Chai Gujin raised his head and explained in a panic, "No, it's not...I...Actually I..."

Chi Feichi noticed that Chai Gujin's fingers were tightly clenched by his side, and he couldn't explain for a long time, so he asked speechlessly, "Are you nervous in front of everyone, or are you nervous when Miss Iwate blames you?"

Hui Yuanai took a look at Chi Feichi. Her brother was asking the question knowingly. Just now there was no obstacle for Chai Gujin to communicate with them. It must be the latter, and she almost understood it, and exposed it mercilessly, "Mr. Chai Gu is I like Ms. Iwate."

Shin Shibatani sat stiffly, his eyes turned into peas, and stared at Mikako Iwate with a look of astonishment.

"Forget it, let me say it," Chi Feichi felt that it would be late into the night because of Chai Gu's coming in, so he simply helped out, "Eight days before the incident started, Mr. Chai Gu went shopping in Akihabara in full gear, and met a Ms. Iwate went across the alley to pick up the package, and then you found out that there was something wrong with the person who delivered the package to Ms. Iwate..."

"Is there a problem with the person who delivered the package?" Koshimizu Nanatsuki was puzzled.

"When I answered the harassing phone call to Ms. Iwate, I heard the sound of the horse racing program at 12 noon today. The rebroadcast time of that game was at 10 o'clock tonight. The other party was watching the video, that is, Said that the other party didn't have time to watch the game program or listen to the game broadcast at noon," Chi Feichi explained, "Plus, the other party got Miss Iwate's private mobile phone number from somewhere..."

"The person who delivered the package to her?" Koshimizu Nanatsuki realized, but still felt surprised, and looked at Mikako Iwate.

"The landline in the store broke down a few days ago and has been busy," Mikako Iwate recalled blankly. "The consignee information of that package seems to have filled in my mobile phone number..."

"Could that person also choose the wrong way because he likes Ms. Iwate, wants to call and wants to say something, but doesn't know how to communicate?" Haibara Ai guessed.

"No, it's not." Chai Gujin frowned slightly, with a serious and anxious expression, "That guy is a repeat offender, and there are people from my former classmates who live in this area. I heard from them not long ago that that person seems to have The young woman made harassing phone calls and stalked her, and was warned twice by the police, but because he did not act aggressively in stalking, and the police had no evidence to prove that he made those harassing calls, so there was nothing they could do about him.”

"If you like it but don't know how to talk to the other party, you won't be playing day and night, several times a day, and you won't care if it will affect the other party's work or rest." Chi Feichi said.

Hui Yuanai couldn't help teasing her brother, "That's good, it seems that you didn't scare the wrong people."

Koshimizu Nanatsuki looked at Shiba Gujin, and said back to the topic a little speechlessly, "Mr. Shiiya, you found out that person was after Mikako the other day, and you followed Mikako afterwards, maybe it was for protection?"

Chai Gujin found Mikako Iwate staring at him, and lowered his head again, "Yes...I, I didn't intend to scare her, but...we haven't talked a few times, even if I told her, she was being targeted by a stalker Now, I don’t think she would take it too seriously, and she didn’t recognize me that day. I don’t usually live nearby, and I suddenly told her that I knew there was a stalker around her. I was also worried that she would suspect that I was watching she……"

Haibara looked at Mikako Iwate's bewildered expression, and was speechless for a while. Although suspicious people might have such doubts, Mikako Iwate didn't seem like someone who would think so much. She felt that Susumu Shibatani was thinking too much. Too careful, "But you don't have to follow her all the time, right? It's scary for a woman living alone to meet a stalker at night."

"Mr. Shiatani's purpose is to protect, he will not follow too closely, lest the footsteps scare Ms. Iwate. At the same time, he knows that his behavior is not good, and he is worried that Ms. Iwate will recognize him. He uses a hat and scarf to cover his appearance. Iwate The person Miss saw on the glass reflection of the telephone booth that night was Mr. Shibatani. I think he was also very surprised, so he stayed where he was, making Ms. Iwate mistakenly think that the other party was found, and stared at her face threateningly. Back," Chi Feichi said, looked at Shiba Gujin, and asked for proof, "But the person who followed Ms. Iwate for the first time made footsteps, and the distance after Ms. Iwate was not too far. It seemed to be intentionally intimidating, so it shouldn't be Chai Gu. Sir, but that person, Mr. Shibatani should have seen him that night." (To be continued.)
