Conan: I Am Not a Snake Spirit

In front, more than a dozen people gathered around the exit of the underground walkway. When they saw the police get off the car, they stepped back to let the road pass, and watched the police enter the entrance of the underground walkway.

Mori Kogoro was stunned for a moment, then walked forward quickly, "Hey, what happened..."

Chi Feichi looked at the police car on the side of the road and followed it calmly.

This scene is very familiar, and it seems that an incident has happened.

It was the police from the Mihua Town Police Station who came, not the police from the Criminal Department of the Metropolitan Police Department, which means that it is not sure whether the incident happened is a homicide...

"Wow! Wow!"

A golden retriever led by its owner barked at Chi Feichi and the others, and flicked its tail cheerfully behind it.

"Ker!" The man leading the dog hastily tightened the rope, turned to look at the group of people approaching, recognized Chi Feichi, and greeted with a surprised smile, "So it's Dr. Chi."

Looking at the man's face, Chi Feichi couldn't remember the man's name for a moment. When he got close, he looked down at the golden retriever happily rubbing against his legs, and said hello, "Ker."

Yue Shui Nanatsuki stole a glance at Chi Feichi, lowered her head and suppressed a smile.

She suddenly remembered that some time ago in the evening, Mr. Chi and her were watching the street scene on the balcony on the second floor of the Seventh Detective Agency. From time to time, people passed by with their pets on the street. Mr. Chi could name several dogs, but for those who raised People with dogs can only say 'the temper seems to be pretty good', 'he is a person who likes to wear strong perfume', 'the voice is very loud'...

As for the pet's owner's name, Mr. Chi told her very bachelorly - 'I don't remember'.

The only person whose surname Mr. Chi could barely guess was because the shepherd dog he raised was named 'Nobita Fukada', and Mr. Chi said, 'The owner's surname should be Fukada'.

Mr. Chi explained that it is because veterinarians often see the pet’s name and gender when looking at medical records and inspection reports, but the name of the pet’s owner will not appear in a conspicuous place. Pet owners will repeatedly call their pet's name to make the pet quiet after hearing the familiar sound. Therefore, for pet doctors, the pet's name is what they have the most contact with, and they will remember it more clearly. In comparison, pet owners just accompany Family members who see a doctor, those who are willing to accompany their pets to see a doctor, will not feel neglected because the doctor only pays attention to pets.

That being said...

(*)

But when Mr. Chi saw the pet owner just now, after a little thought, she decided to say hello to the pet. She could think of a series of Mr. Chi's thoughts of "I can't remember the name" and "Greeting to Kerr is also a greeting", I feel that Mr. Chi is inexplicably cute.

"Wow woof! woof woof!"

Kerr enthusiastically rubbed against Chi Feichi's legs.

The barking was heard in Chi Feichi's ears, and the content was - "Doctor! Touch me! Touch me quickly!"

The man didn't care that Chi Feichi only greeted his pet. Seeing Kerr rubbing against Chi Feichi, he was worried that his pet would be too enthusiastic and scare others, so he tried to tighten the dog's leash to comfort him, "Okay, okay, Kerr, I know you're happy, but you should be a little quieter!"

Chi Feichi put his hand on Kerr's head, touched the dog's head, and began to turn over the dog's ears, "It's okay, we haven't seen each other for a long time..."

Kerr immediately stopped jumping forward and stood obediently, his tail dangling back and forth.

Hui Yuanai saw that her brother had begun to suffer from the occupational disease of "turning ears when seeing a dog", and waited until Chi Feichi turned Kerr's ears before swaying forward, reaching out to rub the dog.

"Ha...ha..." Kerr stretched out his tongue and panted, suddenly tilted his head suspiciously, and quickly backed away, distanced himself from Chi Feichi, so fast that he almost let the leash out of his master's hand.

Hui Yuanai's hand hadn't touched Kerr's head yet, seeing Kerr backing away suddenly, she was a little at a loss, "Did I scare it?"

Kerr just tilted his head and stared at Chi Feichi, his eyes were puzzled and filled with the horror of "I don't understand", "Woo? Woo..."

Translation: Can it fly? Can't fly?

Chi Feichi: "..."

Did Kerr see him when he turned into a crow and wandered around Mihua Town? Or was he seen by Kerr when he became half-human and flew in the sky?

I'm sorry, he's not the size of a crow today, and he can't fly.

"Ker?" The man squatted down in doubt, and patted Kerr on the back, "It doesn't seem to be afraid or wants to attack people."

Hui Yuanai found that Kerr had been looking at Chi Feichi, and cast a puzzled look at Chi Feichi.

"Maybe it has a smell on me that it doesn't like." Chi Feichi said, and took another step forward.

"Wow woof! woof! woof!"

Shicheng Kerr corrected online: 'No, the doctor has changed! '

From the man's point of view, this kind of behavior is more like "Kerr really doesn't like a certain smell on Dr. Chi's body", he tightened the rope, smiled helplessly, "Kerr, he is Dr. Chi you like very much, you Aren't you very happy to see him just now? Please be quiet, I still have business to do. "

"So..." Mori Kogoro looked at the entrance of the underground sidewalk where the police entered, looked at the police next to the man, and asked aloud, "Did something happen here?"

"this……"

The man was still a little confused, but the male policeman standing by had already recognized Chi Feichi and Mori Kogoro.

"So it's Mr. Chi," the policeman greeted Chi Feichi with a smile, and then smiled at Kogoro Mouri, "I didn't expect to see Mr. Kogoro Mouri here. It's really a great honor!"

Chi Feichi nodded to the policeman to show his greeting.

Another familiar face, seems to be...a subordinate of Yu Sakurada from the Mihua police station?

He was very impressed by Sakurada Hideo who was fierce when handling the case before, and he also had a little impression of the police who appeared beside Sakurada Hideo at that time.

When a group of people were talking, Kerr put aside his previous doubts about Chi Feichi, moved to Chi Feichi's feet, saw Feichi crawling out of Chi Feichi's sleeve, raised his neck, and pointed his nose towards Feichi. He leaned forward and kept sniffing Feichi's scent.

Feichi also stretched his neck, and put his chin on Kerr's big black nose.

Huiyuan Ai was originally prepared to 'stretch out his hand to draw away the snake and prevent a dog and a snake from biting the frame', but he did not expect to see such a harmonious and friendly scene. He touched Feichi's head, and then Kerr's.

She thought that Kerr barked at Brother Feichi because he smelled Feichi just now, but now it seems not, Kerr and Feichi seem to be friends...

"Really?" Mori Kogoro grinned proudly at the thought that people would recognize him wherever he went, and quickly restrained the complacent look on his face, clenched his fists in front of his mouth, and coughed seriously, "Then... ..."

"The thing is like this..." The male policeman understood, turned his head to look at the entrance of the underground sidewalk, and talked about what he had learned, "According to this gentleman, it was around ten o'clock when he was walking his dog. Seeing the dog barking towards the entrance, he looked down and saw someone collapsed under the steps..."

"I yelled twice, but the person who fell down was still motionless, so I quickly tied Kerr to the railing over there," the man pointed to the railing near the entrance of the underground walkway, "Go down and check the other party's situation, I found that the other party seemed to have fallen and hit his head, and there was a lot of blood near the head, and then I immediately called an ambulance and called the police..."

"Recently there have been several burglary cases in this area, and we are stepping up security inspections," the male policeman said solemnly, "After the department received the notification of the police, we asked our colleagues who were patrolling nearby to rush over, but our colleagues rushed over. When we arrived, the man lying down was no longer breathing, and since he was killed, the department immediately asked us to rush over to help maintain order at the scene, and the ambulance just returned."

"So that's how it is," Mori Kogoro sighed with a heavy expression, "Is the person hopeless? That's really a pity..."

"Yeah," the male policeman said, and looked at Kerr who was staying beside the owner, "It is not ruled out that the dog barked when passing by here, which frightened the deceased and caused the deceased to fall down. , after all, the deceased is not young."

Mao Lilan was a little surprised, "How come..."

Master Kerr noticed passers-by looking this way, with a little anxiety and worry on his face, but he still explained to the group of people with a good temper, "No, Mr. Xiangyue, the deceased, lives near my house. Although he doesn't like small Animals, but they won't be scared by small animals so easily. I definitely don't want to shirk responsibility, but when I went down to check the situation, Mr. Xiangyue had already shed a lot of blood on his head, and the blood on the ground was a little coagulated, and When I called for an ambulance, I also followed the doctor's instructions and squatted down to see Mr. Xiangyue's condition. He was not breathing at that time. Judging from the situation, he should have fallen down the steps before we arrived. , Kerr has undergone some training before, and he is more sensitive to the smell of blood. It probably smells the smell of blood before it barks at the entrance..."

"Officer Iwai!"

Another middle-aged male policeman ran up to him, took a deep breath, and said seriously, "I checked the surveillance camera in front of the convenience store and the surveillance camera at the intersection, and there were pictures of Mr. Yagisawa leading the dog passing by. The time is 9:56 p.m. and 9:45 p.m., and if they move forward at the speed captured in the surveillance, the time they arrive here should be around 10:00 p.m.

Iwai stroked his chin to gather his thoughts, "According to our police's judgment, the time when the deceased Mr. Xiangyue fell down the steps should be 9:40 p.m. From this point of view, Mr. Xiangyue fell down long before Kerr arrived here." There's no way it fell down because of Kerr's cry."

Master Kerr heaved a sigh of relief, and his originally tense expression relaxed.

"Great," Hui Yuanai stood next to Kerr, grabbed Kerr's dog's head and patted it, "Your suspicion is cleared, Kerr!"

Kerr was heartless, just sticking his tongue out at Hui Yuanai and panting, with a harmless cuteness.

"So, did Mr. Xiangyue fall down by himself?" Mori Kogoro asked.

"When Mr. Yagizawa saw Mr. Kozuki, he didn't see any suspicious people nearby," Iwai looked towards the entrance of the underground walkway, "but Mr. Kozuki should have fallen for a long time, if he was pushed down by someone , The person who pushed him down also had time to escape from the scene, so we need to further investigate this incident, and ask Mr. Yagizawa to leave his contact information. Afterwards, you can take Kerr back first. If you need anything Confirm with you and we will contact you again."

Hiroshi Yagisawa nodded, took out a business card and handed it to Iwai, "Here, here is my business card, I have time recently, you can contact me anytime."
