Conan: I Am Not a Snake Spirit

Six people had a meal, and almost all the money Kogoro Mouri won from playing mahjong was spent.

Mao Lilan expressed his support, thinking that this is better than Mao Li Kogoro losing all his money in horse betting and mahjong.

Mori Kogoro didn't mind even more. On the way back after eating, he was excitedly fantasizing about continuing to have a good luck tomorrow, which would allow him to win twice the meal money back.

"I think you are dreaming," Mao Liland said, "Who can win all the time?"

"If it doesn't work, I'll ask Shang Feichi to go with me!" Mori Kogoro rolled up his sleeves and said with high spirits, "I don't believe none of us will win!"

Mao Lilan had black lines all over her face, "Don't bring Brother Feichi into trouble again, gambling is illegal!"

"Then how can it be regarded as gambling?" Mori Kogoro looked smug, "It's just a few friends playing mahjong together for fun. When we passed the time, we made a few bets. A little bit of money from those who got it, even if it’s not money, it can be other small things, it’s not gambling at all!”

Conan laughed dryly in his heart, slandering that a certain uncle was about to die, so he changed the subject aloud before Mao Lilan turned black with anger, "Speaking of which, the food in this restaurant today is really good, and there are even small You can order steamed buns, and the taste is also very good!"

Thinking about the food tonight, Mori Kogoro immediately shifted his focus, "That's right, their food is really good, and the raw spring rolls are even more delicious."

Mao Lilan spoke for her favorite food, "The fried noodles taste very good too."

Nanatsuki Koshimizu also joined the food chat group, "The meatball soup is also delicious."

"Then another day..." Conan wanted to talk about the topic of food, but suddenly saw a middle-aged woman talking to the policeman in front of him, and his attention was drawn to him, "Isn't that the policeman of Liye?"

"Did something happen?" Mao Lilan stopped and looked around. "On the way together at night, we suddenly encountered an incident. This situation seems very familiar..."

"I met you the night before yesterday," Koshimizu Nanatsuki said, walking forward, "It's Mr. Xiangyue who fell down the steps and died. Conan went on a trip that day and was not with us. However, this time It doesn’t have to be an incident, how can there be so many incidents!”

Chi Feichi: "..."

But there are so many things happening.

"It's hard to say," Mao Li Kogoro glanced at Chi Feichi with half-moon eyes, "After all, Feichi..."

"After all, the teacher is a detective, so he is easily called by events." Chi Feichi interrupted forcefully.

"That's right, a famous detective like me..." Mori Kogoro suddenly stopped, "Wait, Feichi, do you mean that I'm a plague god?!"

"The God of Plague is what you said." Chi Feichi replied.

Don't think he doesn't know, his teacher just wanted to complain about his 'God of Plague'.

While a group of people were talking, they also came closer.

The middle-aged woman and the patrolman who stood together stopped talking and turned to look at a group of people.

"Ah, so it's Mr. Maori and Miss Yueshui." The young male policeman quickly recognized the two celebrities in Mihua Town, as well as Chi Feichi and the others, and greeted with a smile, "Mr. Chi, Xiaolan Miss, and... you are Conan, right? Good evening."

Not only did the male patrolman know a group of people, but a group of people also knew the patrolman in charge of the 5-chome area of ​​Mihua Town.

There would have been intersections in the lives of the two parties, and this male policeman Tachino Shoumi was known for his serious work and kindness. Koshimizu Nanatsuki had not long lived in Mikacho 5-chome, and he had already heard about Tachino Shoumi.

And Chi Feichi not only heard about Koshimizu Nanatsuki, but earlier, he also heard about Mouri Kogoro's "Mayou".

In short, Tachino Shoumi has always had a good reputation among the masses, and recently there has been news that Tachino Shoumi will be transferred to the Criminal Department of Mihua Police Station.

"Yeah, we just came back from having dinner at the family restaurant over there, Tateno Patrolman, did something happen here?" Mori Kogoro asked proactively.

Tachino Toshimi smiled, "It's not a big deal..."

"It's obviously a big deal!" The middle-aged woman next to me interrupted dissatisfiedly, "Recently, there are some people who have no sense of public morality and always mess up the garbage place here. I'm asking the police officer to patrol at night. , Capture that bad guy!"

Seeing the woman looking at him, Tachino Shoumi hurriedly explained, "This area is the area we focus on patrolling, as you have seen, I have been strengthening patrols around here recently, so..."

"Wow!"

A nearby family heard the sound of a wooden door being pushed open suddenly. A woman in a hoodie put her hat on her head and carried a backpack on her back. Kneeling on the ground, panting for breath with hands on the ground.

Seeing this, Mao Lilan and Yueshui Nanatsuki hurried forward to check the woman's situation.

"Are you okay?" Mao Lilan came to the side of the woman and knelt down to help her, "Please cheer up!"

Koshimizu Nanatsuki saw the blood stains on the back of the woman's hands and sleeves, and was taken aback for a moment before carefully observing whether there were any wounds on the woman's body, "Did you get hurt somewhere? Or..."

Conan ran after him and found the blood on the woman's sleeves and the back of her hand. He frowned and looked at the woman's pale face.

The woman looked up at the group of people surrounding her, and stammered in horror, "Someone died inside."

"What did you say?!"

Mori Kogoro's expression changed, and after regaining consciousness, He Tachino Toshio followed Conan and set off to run into the courtyard of that family.

Chi Feichi and Huiyuan Ai were not in a hurry, and followed slowly. When the two entered the door, Conan, Mori Kogoro and Tachino Toshio had already gathered in the same room.

This is a Japanese-style building, and the room is also covered with tatami mats.

An elderly man lay down on the ground with a large amount of blood under his body, beside him were scattered tables, plates, mobile phones, a box of overturned sugar, a bloody knife, blood-stained and broken A cushion with a big hole.

Mori Kogoro and Tachino Toshio squatted in front of the man, and said in a deep voice, "No, he is already dead."

"Mr. Mori, I'll leave it to you here," Tachino Toshio stood up and took out the walkie-talkie on his waist. "I need to check if there are any suspicious people in the room, and I'll be right back!"

After finishing speaking, Toshimi Tachino turned around and left the room, nodded to Chi Feichi who was standing at the door, took the walkie-talkie, and walked deep into the corridor, "Report to the headquarters, I am the PB Tateno Patrolman of Mihuacho 5-chome..."

Koshimizu Nanatsuki walked to the door, watched Tachino Shoumi leave, then looked at the crime scene in the house, saw the corpse, was stunned for a moment, and then said, "Xiaolan and I helped that lady into the yard Rest, the lady who spoke to the Liye patrolman was also with them outside, is this... dead?"

"That's right," Mori Kogoro stood up and looked around. "There are obvious signs of fighting. The deceased had resistance wounds on his arms. The knife that was suspected of being the murder weapon also fell here. Someone should have broken in and killed him."

Conan stood aside, pointed to the floor under the deceased's right index finger, and reminded, "Uncle, look here!"

On the floor, there was a letter 'k' drawn in blood, and the last stroke was just under the right index finger of the deceased.

Kogoro Mori hurried forward to check, "K? Is it a pre-death message?"

"Mr. Mori, no suspicious person was found in the house," Tachino Shoumi walked from the corridor to the door, "and the back door and windows of the kitchen are locked from the inside of the house, and no one has opened it. I have already reported to the headquarters. The police officers from the Criminal Department of the National Police Department will be here in less than ten minutes!"

"That's it..." Mori Kogoro looked at the situation in the room, "Then we will protect the scene and wait for the police officers from the criminal department to arrive. Now let's wait in the yard outside the door. I want to see it too. Look at the lady who just went out from here."

A group of people withdrew from the room and went to the courtyard.

Mao Lilan and the middle-aged woman accompanied the young woman and sat by the flower bed near the courtyard gate.

The hat on the young woman's head had already been taken off. Judging by her pale face and trembling hands and fingers, she probably didn't want to approach the house with the dead body.

Mori Kogoro wanted to ask what happened, but the young woman seemed to be quite frightened, she just repeated "I didn't do it" and "He was already like this when I came here", and couldn't tell the specifics at all. Condition.

No way, Kogoro Mori turned to the middle-aged woman to inquire about the identity of the deceased.

This time it went well.

After Mori Kogoro described the appearance of the deceased, the middle-aged woman confirmed that the deceased was Zenkichi Ooka who lived here, and she also shared a lot of information about the deceased.

I am in my 60s this year, and I live alone on weekdays. I heard that I work as a guard in a large supermarket in Kabatocho...

He also talked about the situation tonight.

The middle-aged woman said that she was chatting with Mrs. Nakajima in the fourth street before, and it was just after six o'clock when the deceased passed the intersection to go home. Not long after, a middle-aged man who looked like an office worker came to Ooka's house After about ten minutes, she left in a hurry. Twenty minutes later, the young woman with blood on her sleeve also entered the yard of Ooka's house, and then Mrs. Nakajima left. Tateno Patrolman spoke, and after that, what Moori Kogoro and his party saw when they arrived nearby...

"Tateno Patrolman said that the back door and windows of the house are locked from the house," Mouri Kogoro touched his chin, "After Mr. Ooka came home at six o'clock, he only saw two visitors, namely Said that the murderer who killed him was among these two people... That man sounds suspicious, but he has already left, so it is very difficult to handle."

Yueshui Nanatsuki and Chi Feichi stood aside, turned their heads to look around, and complained to Chi Feichi in a low voice, "Since just now, I feel that something is wrong, I can't tell what it is, but it feels a little awkward..."

Conan immediately pricked up his ears when he heard this.

From just now, he also felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't think of it all at once.
