Conan: I Am Not a Snake Spirit

"What you need to do now is to find out the truth about the murder as soon as possible..." Qin Jiu continued on the other end of the phone, "The scene of the dead was broadcast live, and the police will arrive at the venue in less than half an hour. Although I don't think Shirley will ask the police for help, you'd better be more prepared. Also, if there are police investigations in the venue, that woman will probably hide in the hotel all the time, or even use the police to cause trouble for us. , To get away with this, so you also need to find the murderer as soon as possible and get rid of those policemen."

"Finding out the truth is no problem, I can solve the case now," Chi Feichi said, "If you need it, I can cooperate with you, and you decide the time to solve the case."

Qin Jiu didn't expect to have the treatment of "designated time to solve the case". He didn't rush to question how sure Chi Feichi was and whether he would make mistakes. The police and those who would interfere with the hunt leave..."

...

More than ten minutes later, the police from the Violent Search Section of the Criminal Division of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department rushed to the scene.

The curtains on the stage were all lowered, and Shou Hualian's body was still lying on the ground like a marionette with a broken string.

Around the body, the police and forensic personnel who took over the scene were busy, preventing others from approaching the body.

"Hua Lian, who killed you? Tell me, I will avenge you!" Shou Meiling cried in grief and wanted to throw herself on the corpse. After being held back by Shou Meimei, she turned her head and stared fiercely at the stage. Sumika and Kagemi in dresses said, "It must be you, right?! It was one of you who killed Hualian!"

Startled by Shou Meiling's gaze, the two girls took a step back.

"No, not us..."

"We don't know anything..."

"You must be worried that Hua Lian won the championship, so you killed her cruelly!" Shou Meiling rushed to the two girls, "Quickly confess to me!"

Shou Meimei stretched out her arms and hugged Shou Meiling tightly, crying with tears streaming down her face, "Mom, calm down!"

Miwako Sato stepped forward to help hold Shou Meiling. Seeing that Shou Meiling was too emotional to communicate, she had to ask someone to take Shou Meiling to the infirmary of the hotel to rest.

After Shou Meimei and her mother were helped away, she slipped and knelt down between the stages as if she had lost all her strength, looking at the corpse on the ground with tears in her eyes.

It's not the first time Mumu Shisan has seen such emotional and grief-stricken scenes of the family members, but every time I see it, I still feel a little suffocated with a heavy heart, and I take the initiative to walk to Shou Meimei, and reach out to Shou Meimei, "This Miss, please rest assured, our police will do our best to find the murderer who killed Miss Hualian, and now our police still need to find you to understand the situation, I hope you can cheer up!"

Shou Meimei raised her hand to wipe away the tears on her face, took Mu Mu Shisan's outstretched hand, and stood up reluctantly, "Yes... I will cooperate."

Mu Mu Shisan let go of Shou Meimei's hand, sighed inwardly, and turned to look at his old acquaintances.

Mao Lilan and Suzuki Sonoko turned their heads to look at Shou Meiling who was being helped away, and walked to Shou Meimei with a look of unbearable expression, ready to comfort Shou Meimei.

Koshimizu Nanatsuki stood behind the corpse, looked up at Wia, whose rope was broken at a high place, and was distracted, with a dignified expression and a trace of confusion.

Dr. A Li took three children to stand in front of the stage gap curtain, away from the corpse, and also helped the host of the competition maintain the order of the venue.

The friends of the plague god are all here, can the plague god be far away from them?

"Cough..." Mu Mushisan continued to scan his eyes, but nothing was missing, "Then, Brother Mao Li, Brother Chi, or..."

"Conan and the like..." Takagi Sheru thought about the faces that were often active at the scene of the crime, and looked around, "Did they go to other places to investigate?"

"No, my father is not here..."

Mao Lilan quickly started from the threatening letter received by Shou Hualian, and the mother and daughter of the Shou family entrusted Kogoro Maoli to the hospital for treatment after falling down the stairs. Lian's protection plan finally talked about Shouhualian's disappearance, everyone's search to no avail, and the discovery that Shouhualian returned to the stage by herself, and Shouhualian died on the stage.

It takes a lot of time to explain all this clearly, but fortunately Suzuki Sonoko, Koshimizu Nanatsuki, Sumimi, Miura Daigo and the two girls who had quarreled with Ju Huaren were also present, and they were questioned by the police from time to time. , Cooperate with Mao Lilan to explain what happened clearly.

"We heard the noise outside, so we ran from the backstage to the back of the stage." Mao Lilan turned her head to look at the entrance and exit behind the stage. Thinking of the scene at that time, her face turned pale, "At that time, Miss Hualian had already been hung up. Yeah, when we were looking at the stage, she just fell from the air and hit the stage..."

"What's the matter with this dagger?" Mu Mu Shisan looked at the dagger on Shou Hualian's chest, and asked, "When was the dagger inserted into Miss Hualian's chest?"

Mao Lilan hesitated, "This..."

"From where we were at that time, we could only see Miss Hualian's back, so we didn't see whether the dagger was stuck in Miss Hualian's chest," Yueshui Nanatsuki looked serious, "But Miss Hualian When I appeared on the stage, Mr. Chi and I were still talking on the phone. He was in the venue at that time. When Ms. Hualian was just hung up, her strange and unnatural posture with her hands raised scared the venue. I heard a lot of people's comments, and soon some female guests exclaimed, showing everyone Miss Hualian's chest..."

"Brother Feichi also told us that when Miss Hualian was first hung up, she had this dagger stuck in her chest, and she held it up with her hands like puppets." Suzuki Sonoko carefully glanced at the corpse on the ground, quickly Averted his eyes, "He was wondering if Miss Hua Lian had already been killed."

"So..." Gao Mushe recorded the content with a notepad, and couldn't help but look around again, "Where did Mr. Chi go? Did you go to investigate elsewhere?"

"No, it's not..." Mao Lilan looked sideways at the periphery of the stage separated by the curtain, with a complicated expression, seemingly helpless and worried, "After Miss Hualian's body fell down, Brother Feichi arrived on the stage Let’s get people to pull up the curtain, and at the same time let the host speak out, and ask the hotel staff to block the entrance and exit of the hotel…”

"Afterwards, he went to watch the video of the program group of Nikmai TV, and then sat there all the time," Koshimizu Nanatsuki looked in the same direction, with the same helplessness and worry in his eyes, and lowered his voice, "He Said that he wanted to think about this incident by himself, and hoped that we would not disturb him, but he didn't even look at the dead body..."

Suzuki Sonoko looked sideways at Mao Lilan and Koshimizu Nanatsuki, and said with certainty, "He must have been hit!"

Mu Mushisan was puzzled, "Strike?"

Mao Lilan sighed softly, "This commission, whether it's checking the room, checking the security of the room, or checking the security around the venue, the storage of the package at the front desk, and my personal protection of Miss Hualian, is all about Brother Feichi's care. Arrangement, in order to ensure the safety of Ms. Hualian, Brother Feichi picked us up on the 20th floor in the middle of the inspection at the venue..."

Suzuki Sonoko couldn't help but asked, "Uncertain whether it's a threatening letter or a prank, and no one was injured, even if it's a call to the police, the police can do this at most, right?"

Takagi Tsubasa nodded involuntarily.

Threat letters are not considered criminal cases, even if they call the police, the police from the area may not handle them as carefully and meticulously as Chi Feichi.

"But..." Suzuki Sonoko looked at Shou Meimei, who was depressed, and decided to say what was in her heart, but she used some euphemistic words, "Miss Hualian left the team for some reason and was killed in the end. I worked so hard to protect her. One person, but the other party was still killed, Brother Feichi thinks it's normal to be hit."

Outside the curtain of the stage, Dr. Ali, Genta, Mitsuhiko, and Ayumi were lying in front of the gap in the curtain, looking in quietly.

Hearing Suzuki Sonoko's words, the three children couldn't help turning their heads to look at the person mentioned, with confused expressions.

Before the police arrived, brother Chi was already sitting by the stage... with his head down and playing games on his mobile phone.

That's right, they secretly went to see it several times, and they can be sure that brother Chi is indeed playing the matching game with his mobile phone, and he is still very attentive.

Did elder brother Chi keep playing games because he was hit? Could this be Brother Chi's way of decompression?

Under the round table in front of a group of people, Kudo Shinichi and Miyano Shiho hid under the tablecloth and got together to watch the live video that Dr. Ali secretly asked the TV station staff to copy with their mobile phones.

Since Dr. Ali, the three children, and Chi Feichi were all standing or sitting on the stage less than three meters in front of them, they did not dare to speak loudly or move around under the table. They also used headphones to watch the video. .

Seeing the last part of the first video, Miyano Shiho reached out and tapped the phone screen, paused the playback of the video, pointed at himself behind the two waiters, turned his head close to Kudo Shinichi's ear, and said in a very low voice, " I was photographed."

Kudo Shinichi looked at the blurred face in the video due to the distance, couldn't help but smiled, and whispered, "It's much better than I imagined. We were standing behind two waiters and the distance was far away. Your face wasn't captured very clearly, and the next second your face was captured, the live show cut to an ad, if they weren't so sure..."

"Even if they weren't so sure that it was me that was photographed, they would have found me. Didn't you already see it the night of the twin skyscrapers?"

Miyano Shiho spoke calmly, looking through the tablecloth towards the direction of the stage where Chi Feichi was.

Moreover, Brother Feichi had watched these live videos earlier than them. If Brother Feichi had seen the photos of Shirley, a traitor to the organization, he would definitely recognize her current face.

Brother Feichi is sitting by the stage now, do you want to observe the people in the venue?

At this time, she was not so entangled and flustered. She was probably a bit of a shattered mentality, and suddenly thought that this might not be an opportunity.

From this incident, she might be able to preliminarily judge Brother Feichi's status and situation in the organization.

The premise is that she can survive tonight.

Otherwise, it is useless to know how much.
