Conan: I Am Not a Snake Spirit

"The new material is Umbrella's patent, and the current cost is relatively high. Although it is cheaper than jade, it is much higher than marble, and the cost of splicing is also relatively high, so it is not suitable for ordinary buildings," Chi Feichi and a group of people said. After touching and seeing enough, he led the way into the castle, "If the technology can be improved, it can probably be popularized..."

A group of people walked around the castle with Chi Feichi.

Castles are smaller than English castles outside and much simpler to build inside.

There is a hall with a high dome on the first floor, followed by a restaurant, a banquet hall, and a living room. There are also sofa seats and bouquets of flowers inside, but there are no oil paintings and other decorations.

The second and third floors are full of rooms. Many of the rooms are not furnished. The white jade-colored rooms are spacious and open. You can see the scenery outside when you walk to the window. This experience is not bad.

In addition, the tower on the side of the castle is also very suitable for viewing. Standing in front of the white jade-colored guardrail on the top floor, you can still feel the comfort of the sunshine and the breeze.

After leaving the castle, Chi Feichi took a group of people to see the Qingshi Music Stage, and waited for a group of people to experience the big harp and piano on it curiously, and then led the way to see the pond and the jungle.

Ike Shinosuke and Ike Kana took their work partners, and the media reporters, and followed different routes to look at the top sky deck.

When everyone was still unsure, the airship had already arrived at the destination, so they could only disembark from the airship, watched the airship return, and looked expectantly at the "Dream City" suspended above Field Castle, named by Hui Yuanai flying ship.

The itinerary to board the 'City of Dreams' was scheduled for tomorrow morning. A group of people could only live in Field Castle first, and soon, the gardens, famous paintings, treasure exhibition rooms, and luxurious dinners let the guests get involved.

After dinner, the Chi family invited everyone to the hall dance.

After an opening dance by a dancer and a partner, the ball begins, and a group of imps are left aside to be tended by servants.

Yukiko Kudo threw Conan into the pile of children. Before leaving, she leaned over and smiled in Conan's ear and said, "I want to dance with Xiaoxin too, but Xiaoxin is too short now, which affects my performance. You can dance with the children." Let's stay together~"

Conan was speechless for a while. After Yukiko Kudo left, he found that Mori Ran was stopping Mori Kogoro from accosting young women. He estimated that the father and daughter would have to quarrel for a while, so he stood aside temporarily.

The guests brought families of children from the UK and Japan, and the communication was stumbling, but it did not affect the establishment of friendship at all. For a while, they danced together like adults, and for a while they got together to discuss superheroes from various countries. It didn’t take long for them to become a mess .

Yan Qiufu and a child of the same age smiled and gestured for a while, and found that Conan was standing silently in the corner, and walked up to Conan's hand very intimately, "Brother Conan, come and play with everyone!"

Haibara Ai was bored listening to a group of children's topics, so he pulled Conan into the water, "Yeah, Edogawa, if you're too lonely, you won't be able to make friends."

"Hey, there's no need for you to tell me this..." Conan retorted speechlessly, turned his head and saw Hui Yuanai surrounded by children with a resentful expression on his face, and burst out laughing. …

Hui Yuanai's eyes were gloomy, staring.

The other children stepped back silently, not daring to make a sound.

Conan tried his best to hold back his laughter, walked into the group of children, and came to Hui Yuanai's side, and teased in a low voice, "I thought you were having a lot of fun with the children."

"Since they are all guests of the Chi family, of course I want to help entertain the children. What can I do?" Hui Yuanai said in a low voice, her expression softened a lot, and she looked at Conan and said, "What about you? Is it satisfactory for a trip?"

"I couldn't be more satisfied. After seeing the city in the sky like a fairyland, and being able to stay in this kind of retro castle, this kind of experience is not something that everyone can have. This trip to London is really the right one. "Conan smiled, looked up at the intricate carvings on the dome of the hall, then turned to look at Haibara and said, "Tomorrow will be the maiden voyage of the flying ship you named, are you confident? The comparison in Sky City Next, if tomorrow's flying boat experience is not so attractive, it will look very boring..."

"I don't think it's too bad, at least children will find it interesting." Hui Yuanai leaned on the Roman column beside him, looked at a group of children playing together again, and softened his tone, "At first I wanted to let go Mitsuhiko, Genta, and Mitsuhiko are guests on the flying ship, so it is designed in a way that children will like it."

"It looks like a child will like it..."

Conan couldn't quite imagine the appearance of the "City of Dreams" flying ship. Hearing that children would like it, he let himself lower his expectations, waved his hand and left the team, "I'll go to the bathroom."

Hui Yuanai turned around and called a male servant, and asked the male servant to accompany Conan to the bathroom.

Helping entertain guests, she means business.

Accompanied by the male servant, Conan went to the bathroom on the first floor with a speechless face. When he found someone inside, he cast a look at the male servant for help.

Well, he admits that Huiyuan is still thoughtful. In this kind of big castle, if you want to find another bathroom without getting lost, you need someone to take it with you...

In the hall, Mao Lilan couldn't stop Kogoro Moori from striking up conversations everywhere, so he could only give up powerlessly and went back to find Conan among the children.

"Conan?...Xiao Ai, isn't Conan here?"

Chi Feichi and Yueshui Nanatsuki finished dancing to a piece and were about to rest. When they arrived nearby, they heard Mao Lilan's question and couldn't help paying attention.

Conan is a troublesome character who likes to run around, and always finds things that shouldn't be found, so he has to guard against them.

"Edogawa went to the bathroom, I asked Yarlin to take him there." Hui Yuanai looked at the big clock placed against the wall, "calculate the time, he should be back soon."

...

Guest wing, second floor.

Conan speechlessly refused the companionship of the male servant, and went in to use the bathroom by himself.

Everything is good here, but there are too many people.

There were so many guests that they found people in the restrooms on the first floor.

There are so many servants that when he goes to the toilet, the male servants treat him as a child who cannot take care of himself, and ask him if he wants to help.

The male servant waited outside the door, waited for Conan to wash his hands, went out and said 'let's go', then turned around to lead the way and prepare to go downstairs.

"This corner used to be the main building, right?" Conan looked at the corner on the other side of the corridor, and reminded without too much trouble, "From here to the second floor of the main building, you can go down the spiral escalator to the hall where the dance will be held?"…

"No way," the young male servant stopped temporarily, and explained patiently with a smile, "The main building is where the owner lives. Although it is connected to the side building where the guests live, it is better for the guests to enter and exit from the side building so as not to violate the owner's privacy." Living space, it will be more gentlemanly..."

Conan: "..."

Well, there are many rules.

At the end of the corridor of the side building, Chi Feichi walked forward step by step, "The main and side buildings are separated, which is also convenient for us to find the kid who didn't know where to go to the bathroom. It's not in the activity area on the first floor of the main building, but on the first and second floors of the side building." first or third floor."

The male servant backed away sideways and bowed his head in greeting, "Master."

Conan withdrew his gaze from the corner, and gave up the idea of ​​taking a shortcut, "Did brother Chi come to find me specially?"

"Xiaolan was looking for you in the hall, and found that you haven't gone back. She was worried, and she was not sure about the construction layout here." Chi Feichi turned and led the way, and walked to the stairs of the side building, "So please let me take a look .”

Fortunately, he came in time, otherwise Conan might have been curious, and might have gone to the corridor on the second floor of the main building where his uncles used to live.

"There are people in the bathroom on the first floor of the side building, so we only got to the second floor." Conan followed Chi Feichi, looking at the long empty corridor, "This place is really too big, and it takes a lot of cleaning. People, many ancient castles in the UK seem to be regarded as tourist attractions, open to collect tickets for the maintenance and cleaning of the castle..."

"When my grandmother made her will, she divided part of her own shares, and the proceeds were used as expenses for the daily maintenance and hiring of servants here. Later generations have no way to control the income from this part of the shares." Chi Fei arrived at the stairs late, leading the way down the stairs, "She has always believed that since the Field family has the conditions, it is obliged to provide jobs for nearby residents."

The male servant followed behind the two, and said with a smile, "I am studying in London, and I only work here during the holidays. The young master and madam may not come back once in a few years, and our annual maintenance and cleaning periods are scheduled during the holidays. , there are many people like me who only come to work here during the holidays or when the host’s family comes back. Although working here is more regulated, it is not tiring, and they can earn remuneration for tuition or living expenses after school starts. Indeed It helped us a lot.”

"So that's how it is..." Conan didn't turn his head to look at the male servant, and he could guess in his heart that the male servant should like it very much, and thought of doing something idly, "By the way, Brother Chi, who is Xiaonuan?"

"Xiao Nuan?" Chi Feichi searched the names of the people around him and tonight's guests in his mind, and suddenly remembered a name from his long-term memory.

Conan looked up at Chi Feichi, and through the dim light in the stairwell, caught Chi Feichi's ugly face for a moment, and continued hesitantly, "I... used to sleep in the same room with you, and I seemed to hear you Read the name, so..."

Feichi nestled under Chi Feichi's clothes: "Master, Conan is lying, I have never heard you talking in your sleep."

Chi Fei slowly softened his face, and didn't believe that he would talk in sleep in his sleep in this life. He looked down at Conan who was walking beside him, "Are you going to Yingming Academy to investigate me?"...

Conan felt the pressure from the top of his head, sweated, and lied bravely, "I didn't do it on purpose, it was just a coincidence..."

If Chi Feichi knew that he was deliberately investigating Chi Feichi, he was worried that he would be beaten to death by Chi Feichi.

Feichi immediately stripped Conan clean, proving in a serious tone that he can not only eavesdrop but also detect lies, "Master, Conan is still lying, his ears are heating up, his heart and brain are heating up, if he is not liked Kissing a girl like you, then you will feel guilty and nervous!"

"So..." After Conan finished telling the lie, he looked up at Chi Feichi, "Is Xiao Nuan..."

Chi Feichi told the truth blankly, "It was a hamster I raised in elementary school, and it died suddenly one day. Do you have any other questions?"

"Hamster..." Conan was distressed, "No, no problem."

No wonder he checked the names of Chi Feichi's elementary school classmates and the names of the victims of various incidents in those years, and none of them met the conditions of 'Chi Feichi may have known', 'there is a warm word in the name', and 'killed'.

If it is a small animal that elementary school students will keep in school when they experience life, then it makes sense...

He also didn't think that Chi Feichi would lie, because such things are easy to verify.

Every school raises different animals for children. Didan Primary School has passed down rabbits from generation to generation. As long as it is confirmed that when Chi Feichi was in elementary school, Yingming Academy let the elementary school students raise hamsters, it can prove half .

In addition, elementary school students will be very concerned about the small animals they take care of. One of the hamsters raised in the school died. This is the first time for children to face "life and death". Some of Chi Feichi's elementary school classmates should remember this incident .
