Conan: I Am Not a Snake Spirit

Kuroki Yasuji found the owner of the special gourmet restaurant, and packed a copy of all the ready-made dishes in the store today.

These include fried crickets, grilled spider skewers, live hornet larvae, marinated silkworm chrysalis, locust sushi rolls…  

After seeing all kinds of insect food packed, the three children shook their heads like rattles when Chi Feichi asked, "Do you want to try something?"

Dr. Ali, Conan and Hui Yuanai were faced with a plate of insect dishes, but they couldn't tell what they wanted to eat for a long time.

Feichi couldn't figure out what he wanted to eat, mainly because he wanted to try it all.

In the end, Chi Feichi packed up all the things and took them away, planning to pick some of them to taste, and leave the rest to the greedy Feichi. If Dr. A Li and the five children change their minds, they can share it with a few people. .

The Tachibana House is on the side of the village. The Japanese-style buildings are surrounded by towering walls and gates, like a large square seal on the edge of the village.

Walking near the wall, the villagers were no longer visible nearby. Conan couldn't help asking, Mr. Kuroki, what did you go to the north of the village just now?

Before Kuroki Yasuji could speak, Chi Feichi said, Conan, wait until we get there.

Yasuji Kuroki was startled, and quickly nodded. It would be better for Mr. Xinghei or my young master to decide this matter.

Conan turned his head and reacted.

It's not that his little friend didn't find the problem, and Mr. Kuroki kept talking about other things just now, and it wasn't because he was talking about other things to conceal it, because the matter might involve members of the family. Mr. Kuroki is just a housekeeper, so it's inconvenient to say more .

When we were on the road before, Mr. Kuroki said, "Mr. Xingping invites, Chi Feichi should know that Mr. Tachibana Xinghei and Xiaoshu's brother will not hide them, and reached a tacit agreement with Mr. Kuroki - when we arrived at the place." , Listen to what the master said.

But these people have concerns and don't say it clearly, and they all rely on everyone's understanding. Don't you find it troublesome?

ah?

The three children looked at the three with puzzled faces.

Conan, what are you talking about?

What's matter?

No, Hui Yuanai came forward to intercept the three children's questions and changed the subject. By the way, didn't you say that you wanted to taste all the special delicacies on the way here?

The faces of the three children changed, and when they thought of those insect delicacies, they immediately lost their mind to think about other things.

オ, it is not

We didn't know it was an insect before, but thought it was delicious rabbit meat.

In fact, I don't really want to eat rabbit meat. I've been looking forward to whether there will be delicious and fresh fruits...

Arriving at the main entrance of Tachibana's house, Yasuji Kuroki stepped forward and knocked on the door.

Not long after, a middle-aged maid opened the door.

Before the middle-aged maid opened her mouth to speak, the old woman's eager voice rang out in the room. Has Nanase come back?

Ma'am, it's not Missy, it's Mr. Heimu and the guests brought back by him. After the middle-aged maid turned around and explained, she smiled apologetically at Chi Feichi and the others, and stepped aside to make way. Mr. Heimu, please bring the guests in. .

Behind the main entrance is a long corridor with Japanese wooden doors on both sides.

After a group of people entered, the maid helped them get the slippers.

On one side of the corridor, a short old woman stood in front of an open wooden door, dressed in a light brown kimono, with short shoulder-length hair all white, and her face was full of sorrow. When she noticed someone coming from the room behind her, she looked back. With a glance, he turned sideways to get out of the way.

The old man who walked out was wearing a short jacket, with a long snow-white beard and his white hair combed back into a samurai head. He walked towards the door barefoot, walking calmly and vigorously, trying to hide the anxiety and melancholy on his face. Sorry, you came here with your friends, but I couldn't treat you well.

Disturbed.

You are too polite, Mr. Xingping, Chi Feichi was not in a hurry to change his slippers, and he was polite to Tachibana Xingping with a calm expression, it is our call

Yes, Dr. Ali also hurriedly said

, Thank you very much for your invitation, I hope I will not cause you any trouble.

The five children also bowed obediently.

excuse me!

I heard from Xiaomo before that you have children with you. Ju Xingping faced the children and tried to calm down his face and eyes. Later, the maid at home can take them to the yard to play.

Chi Feichi sat down to change his shoes, and asked straightforwardly, what happened here?

Conan:

Is it okay to ask directly now?

Yes... Tachibana Xinghei looked hesitantly at the children who were also changing shoes.

It's okay to tell them

From behind the open door came a young male voice with a Kansai accent that Conan was very familiar with.

These little ghosts should be reliable, and they can be played in the yard until the matter is over, and they will not have the opportunity to tell the situation here, Hattori Heiji walked out of the door, leaned against the door, saw Chi Feichi, Conan The man looked at himself and greeted with a smile. Brother Feichi, the doctor, the kid with glasses, and everyone, long time no see!

Three children: Why was only Conan singled out among the children?

Conan: Why am I a ghost with glasses?

Hattori Heiji half-moon eyes.

Hey, he said hello so warmly...

Chi Feichi responded calmly, long time no see.

Hattori Heiji still has half-moon eyes.

It must be too cold......

Are these people not surprised to meet him here suddenly?

When Hattori Heiji was depressed, someone finally showed the reaction he wanted. Dr. Ari asked in surprise, Hattori, why are you here?

I came here to help with the investigation. When Hattori Heiji got down to business, his expression became serious. Mr. Xinghei's ten-year-old granddaughter, Ms. Nanase, was kidnapped!

Dr. Ali's face changed, what, what? !

Conan also looked at Hattori Heiji in surprise, changed the shoes three times, five times and two times, and looked at a pair of little girl style sneakers placed in the entrance. Could these shoes be...

It belonged to Ms. Nanase. Hattori Heiji saw that the old lady was going back to the house, so she moved to give way, and said seriously, but she didn't come back after going to school yesterday, and she left those shoes at the door the day before.

Going to school yesterday, Mitsuhiko asked suspiciously, didn't they have summer vacation yet?

Hattori Heiji looked at Tachibana Yukihei. It was a private elementary school built by Mr. Xinghei in the village. The children in the village and Ms. Nanase all went to school there. The summer vacation time was later than other schools. Of course, the school start time was also.

In fact, they only had moral education class and activity class yesterday, and after the activity class, the summer vacation officially started. She didn't come home at five o'clock in the afternoon. I sent people to the school and around the village to find her.

As a result, at night, a letter asking for a ransom was put into the mailbox. At that time, everyone in the village was looking for Ms. Nanase everywhere. Mr. Xinghei and the family also went out. No one knew about the letter. When and by whom was it sent, Hattori Heiji said, after dark, they turned back, hoping that Ms. Nanase had returned by herself, and saw a half-exposed letter in the mailbox, after reading it , I found out that Miss Nanase was kidnapped.

Dr. Ali became worried when he thought that the little girl who was kidnapped was only ten years old. Did you call the police?

Tachibana Xingping said anxiously, no, you can't call the police!

Usually, there are not many outsiders who come in and out of this village, and they are all people they know. If the kidnappers were watching around here and saw many strangers entering the village, they should have guessed that Mr. Xinghei called the police, so Ms. Nanase said It might be dangerous, Hattori Heiji helped to explain, so I first asked me, a high school student detective, to help. As for Mr. Kuroki who brought you back

...

Mr. Xingping is going to send Nanase to Kyoto to study literature after she is on vacation. We will study with the same teacher at that time...

Walking out of the rooms of Tachibana Yukihei and Hattori Heiji one after another, talking from far to near, a ten-year-old boy wearing a gray and blue kimono walked out.

The boy's little face under the black hair looked calm, his voice was still a little immature, but his tone was never in a hurry. When he reached the corridor, he stopped and looked up at Tachibana Xinghei. Grandpa Xinghei would have sent Nanase to Kyoto today. My grandfather Called Grandpa Kohei this morning to ask when they will arrive...

When a certain gentleman came out, Feichi poked his head out of Chi Feichi's collar, stared straight at the certain gentleman, and whispered in a very emotional tone, Master, Feimo should belong to a very Is it cute?

Chi Feichi couldn't answer.

Fei Mo's face after turning into a human form is absolutely passable in appearance, coupled with the round facial contours that children have, and the rounded curvature of the eyes, head and tail, it can be regarded as cute.

But you can’t say, ‘It’s cute.

Children should have innocent eyes and a soft and harmless expression, but Feimo in front of him does not occupy at all, his eyes are not innocent and ignorant, and his expression is relatively calm. Just like Conan and Xiaoai, he can win a precocious evaluation by his demeanor.

This is still the appearance that Fei Mo has concealed, otherwise, with the appearance in private, he would have almost not engraved the notes of vicissitudes and profoundness in his eyes.

But then again, Feimo's pupils are not brownish red or black red like Koizumi Hongzi or Baima Tan, but more vivid red, scarlet like sticky blood, even if he tries to appear innocent and ignorant , it will only be an innocent face with a pair of evil-looking eyes, which will look even more awkward, so it's better to keep it like this.

As a result, as soon as Grandpa Xingping answered the phone, he said hello nervously. After hearing that it was my grandpa on the other end of the phone, he said that he had urgent work to deal with, and he would call and explain to my grandpa tomorrow. Feimo didn't look at Ju Xingping again. , Turning to look at Yasuji Kuroki at the door, my grandfather said, someone in Grandpa Xinghei’s house might have been kidnapped, let me come and have a look.

Hattori Heiji was speechless. Although I felt a little strange when I heard it, but

Mizuno's family had children kidnapped before, as did some of the houses that our master is familiar with. Once you heard what Mr. Xinghei said in a panic, you could guess what was going on. Yasuji Kuroki changed his shoes, Picking up the bag on the cabinet at the door again, he straightened up and said to Chi Feichi, of course, my master is not particularly sure, so he asked me to take the young master for a trip.

Dr. Ali smiled dryly.

There are children at home and friends who have had the experience of being tied up, which is really speechless.
