Conan: I Am Not a Snake Spirit

Over there, Subaru was squatting next to Conan, looking at the photos on his phone with Conan, and analyzing the methods the murderer might use.

Conan frowned and thought, "The most suspicious person is probably the person who went downstairs without bringing the necessary supplies, but we have to confirm that he is the only one who did the trick..."

"I rarely drink hot coffee," Chong Shi Subaru looked at the photo, "but the time it takes for the coffee's heat to disappear may have something to do with the room temperature. It's difficult to manipulate cigarettes..."

Here, Chi Feichi squatted next to Haiyuan Ai, discussing with Haiyuan Ai the reasons why children like bright colors, and also used his mobile phone to find an issue of a physiological science weekly that had studied such issues.

"Godmother, that should be regarded as a visual talent, right?" Haibara Ai analyzed, "Young children are not very good at distinguishing similar colors because their visual nerves and brains are not fully developed, but at the same time they can already Color affects emotions. Colors such as gray and blue are similar to dark gray in the eyes of children. They are all gray and it is difficult to stimulate the children's visual nerves. After the age of five, children will Slowly establish your own preferences. Children with stronger self-awareness will discover their preferred colors sooner..."

"It seems to be because her visual nerves are well developed," Chi Feichi said. "The color recognition ability of her eyes and the sound recognition ability of her ears have been excellent since she was a child. She was better than children of the same age when she was a child, and she is also better than her peers when she grows up. powerful."

"Your excellent voice recognition ability is probably inherited from your mother." Haibara Ai found it interesting to hear these things. "What about your color recognition ability? Is your color recognition ability better than that of your peers?"

Chi Feichi turned over the original memories in his mind, "No, my color recognition ability is not strong. My mother told me before that she had a wide choice of colors when she was a child. She also said that I was similar to other children. When I was a child, I also like things with bright colors and high saturation. I can still find toys from my childhood at home. I remember there were a lot of red toy cars..."

Haibara Ai suddenly thought of Chi Feichi's red Lexus SC, and couldn't help smiling and jokingly said, "This preference has continued since childhood, right? Edogawa said in school not long after he first met you. However, you would choose a car with bright colors and a somewhat flamboyant appearance like a red sports car, which is different from everyone’s impression of you.”

Chi Feichi had to admit that this was really a matter of personal preference of the original consciousness. Of course, he didn't think there was anything wrong with the red Lexus SC.

"Conan!"

Takagi Wataru walked quickly to the corridor and saw four people looking at their mobile phones in pairs. He didn't understand what the four people were doing, but he didn't bother to ask. He walked up to Conan and said, "Conan, what were you doing before? The photos taken should still be there, right? Officer Megure wants to see the photos of beer foam, coffee steam, and cigarette smoke!”

Chi Feichi stopped discussing with Haihara Ai, stood up and asked, "After seeing the photos, do we need to conduct another experiment with beer, coffee and cigarettes?"

Takagi Wataru was stunned for a moment and answered honestly, "Officer Megure has not seen the process of our experiment before. He should want to see it with his own eyes. Moreover, we have only conducted the experiment once. In order to be accurate, we need to conduct several more experiments. So we do want to give it another try."

"I'll go with you," Chi Feichi put away his phone. "I wanted to lend you twenty minutes before, just to do the experiment again."

Conan and Subaru both felt a sense of urgency.

The countdown to the answer is on, and they don't have much time to solve the puzzle!

Takagi Wataru led a group of people to find Megure Thirteen, showed Megure Thirteen the photos on Conan's mobile phone, and started a new round of experiments on the disappearance of beer foam, coffee heat, and cigarette smoke.

At Chi Feichi's suggestion, the group set up a square table at the entrance of Yue Yuanxiang's house. After Yue Yuanxiang brewed the coffee and put it on the table, Takagi Wataru also poured beer into the beer glass on the table. , Chi Feichi lit a cigarette and put it on an ashtray.

"I said, brother Chi, why do you propose to test three items at the same time?" Mu Mu Shisan stood by the table, looking up and down at the things on the table, "Could it be that if we conduct experiments together, there will be differences?" The result?”

"Whether we conduct experiments together will not affect the results," Chi Feichi said truthfully, "I just think it will save time."

Mumu Thirteen choked for a moment, and Ban Yue looked at Chi Feichi and asked, "Are you busy with anything? If you are busy with something, you can leave first. When we want to find out about the situation from you later, we will... …”

Chi Feichi looked straight at Mu Mu Shisan.

Officer Megure, are you serious? Is it a good thing to let them leave first?

Memu Shisan and Chi Feichi looked at each other, and suddenly realized that this kind of "expulsion order" could control Mouri Kogoro and Kudo Shinichi, but it would not necessarily make Chi Feichi anxious. When he thought that Chi Feichi might be really happy, Xing left, his eyelids couldn't help but jump up, and he said with a straight face, "I will call you again, but that may delay you for more than a day, and you don't want to be called all the time for this matter. Let’s go to the Metropolitan Police Department?”

Chi Feichi withdrew his gaze and gave up the unrealistic idea of ​​'leaving now'. In fact, even if he wanted to leave, Conan would not leave just like that, "That would be too troublesome, I'd better wait." "

When Mu Mu Thirteen saw Chi Feichi walking down the steps he gave, he pretended that he had not issued an eviction order just now.

In order to investigate the truth of the case, the dignity of being a police officer can be temporarily ignored.

Before he came, this group of people had watched the scene in advance as usual and looked around everywhere they could. If they didn't borrow Brother Chi's brain, wouldn't they be at a loss?

…

Time passed by minute by minute.

In the glass, the foam of the beer slowly disappeared, and after a while, the coffee stopped steaming.

After the cigarette was completely burned out, Takagi Wataru looked at the timer. After recording it on the notepad, he read the calculated time, "The beer foam completely disappeared in 6 minutes and 51 seconds, and the coffee heat disappeared in 8 minutes and 11 seconds. It takes about 9 minutes and 25 seconds for the cigarette to burn out, which is not much different from before..."

Conan kept staring at the things on the table. When he heard Takagi Sheba's report, he subconsciously looked up at Chi Feichi, but at that moment, he vaguely thought of something.

The most suspected person at present is Mr. Akino, the photographer. The evidence in the room is a glass of beer with foam.

He suddenly remembered that Chi Feichi liked to drink whiskey with ice alone. Chi Feichi would only drink beer when he was with Uncle Kogoro.

Then, he inevitably thought of Uncle Kogoro's love for beer, and...Uncle Kogoro seemed to have told him about beer foam before...

Subaru stared thoughtfully at the things on the table.

From the beginning, he planned to consider his personal criminal habits.

The biggest suspect at present is Mr. Akino, the photographer.

Mr. Akino is about thirty years old this year. He is an old classmate of the actress and the photographer who took the photo that killed the actress. How could such a person manipulate beer?

Thinking like this, he remembered that when he was working part-time in college, he seemed to have heard a cameraman guest talk about beer...

"The foam in the beer can reappear even if it disappears." Chi Feichi took out a paper bag two fingers wide from his pocket, tore open the seal, and poured a little bit of the white particles in the bag into the beer.

After the white particles fell into the beer glass, the foam that disappeared in the beer appeared again.

Akino Keiyu's face turned ugly in an instant.

Mumu Shisan's eyes widened in surprise, "W-what's going on?"

"Ah..." Gao Mushe recognized what Chi Feichi was holding, "It's the seasoning salt packet we bought at the convenience store before..."

"Salt?" Megure Thirteen reached out to pick up the beer glass and observed the foam still existing in the beer. He was still surprised, "Can such a rich foam be produced by just sprinkling some salt in the beer?"

"Teacher Maoli taught me this," Chi Feichi put the salt bag on the table. "He said that when he was in college, he had financial difficulties. He poured a glass of beer and was reluctant to drink it all at once, but he didn't want people to see that he was there. If you drink beer without foam, you will secretly sprinkle some salt in the beer when the foam is about to disappear to make the beer foam again, pretending that the beer has just been filled. In fact, it is not only salt, but also sugar. It's okay, but the teacher also said that it would be better to add salt, and it won't affect the taste too much when you drink it later..."

Conan laughed dryly in his heart.

As expected, it was Uncle Kogoro who taught me.

Yes, he remembered that Uncle Kogoro had also shown off to him this clever method that he had used in college when he was drunk.

Thirteenth eye has a black line on his head.

I really don’t know what Maori is teaching his disciples every day. It’s useless, but he still used it today...

"This method is also often used in beer commercial shooting, because beer with a lot of foam will look delicious." Subaru's narrowed eyes under his glasses stared at Akino Keisuke, because he thought of it at the last moment. After answering the puzzle, I felt surprisingly good, with a smile on my lips, "As a photographer, Mr. Akino should also know this method, right?"

Akino Keiyu broke into a cold sweat and hurriedly defended, "But, but, where could I have such things as salt and sugar at that time..."

"Brother, when you came in, didn't you kick over the bag you brought back from the funeral? If that was a return gift given to you by your family at the funeral, it should have salt to ward off evil spirits." Conan was determined to seize this opportunity to reason. He looked up at Akino Keiyu and said, "You kicked down the bag on purpose when you came in, and secretly hid the salt bag in your hand when you were packing it away. When you got to the living room, you deliberately said that the TV was still on to divert our attention to the TV. , you walked quickly to the table, turned your back to us and secretly sprinkled salt into the beer. After the foam reappeared in the beer, you raised the cup to show us. "
