Conan: I Am Not a Snake Spirit

"Actually, I already doubted you after I found out you were a photographer," Subaru Okishi took advantage of Akino Keisuke being speechless to continue his pursuit, "Because as a photographer who reports news, You should be accustomed to not giving up any opportunity to obtain news materials. When you hear a loud noise outside and prepare to go downstairs to check the situation, you will bring your camera. But when you see you downstairs, you I didn’t bring anything except my phone.”

When Chi Feichi saw the swallowing movement in Akino Keiyu's throat, he knew that Conan and Oishi Subaru's successive attacks were effective, and he added the final blow to break through Akino Keiyu's psychological defense, "In addition, the person in President Katsumoto's room was The carpet was a new one just last night. When we went to his room to check just now, the three of you were not allowed in. If your hair is found in the carpet, it can also prove that you were there before we came in last night and this morning. During this time, I went to President Katsumoto’s room. The police have the right to ask you to cooperate with the investigation. In that case... you can’t hide the salt grains in your pocket. After you sprinkled salt into the beer glass before, there should be If you secretly put the salt packet in your pocket and hide it, you are likely to get salt on your fingers. Even if you have lost the salt packet somewhere, the salt can still be detected on your fingers and in your pocket. "

Megure Thirteen stared at Akino Keiyu with sharp eyes like an eagle, "Mr. Akino, can you cooperate with our investigation?"

"Of course..." Akino Keiyu thought that there would definitely be grains of salt left in his pocket. He sighed deeply and felt that his strength was drained. Without any further excuses, he reached into his coat pocket with his right hand and took out a torn open coat. He looked at the salt bag with a hole in it and said with a wry smile, "I didn't expect it to be discovered so soon. I haven't found a chance to throw the salt bag away yet. Of course, the pockets of my coat are inevitably full of salt grains..."

"Aki, Mr. Akino," Yue Yuanxiang looked at Akino Keiyu in surprise, "Could it be that it's really you..."

"Yes," Akino Keisuke admitted his crime, "I was the one who killed the president."

"B-But why?" Sodezaki Kazuya couldn't believe Akino Keisuke would kill someone, "Is it because of the provocative email sent by the president?"

"We have already discussed suing him, haven't we?" Yue Yuanxiang asked with a puzzled look. "There is the president's fingerprint on the memory card where those photos are stored. This is what he specially selected from those photos. As for the evidence that smeared Miss Mangong's photo, the lawyer also said that as long as the court opens, we will definitely win the case, you just need to wait a little longer..."

"Because the memory card that can be used as evidence is missing!" Akino Keisuke's face turned pale. "I received the email from the president this morning. I felt something was wrong, so I checked it and found that the memory card was missing. I hurried upstairs to question him. After he opened the door, he confessed to me that he paid my assistant to steal the memory card. Now the assistant has taken the money he gave me. He resigned and went abroad, and he threatened me that if we didn't withdraw the lawsuit, he would have someone publish an article in the new issue of the magazine about me deliberately setting a trap to kill a classmate actress..."

As he said that, Akino Keiyu looked guilty and regretful, "Miss Mangu committed suicide because the photo was distorted and made public. When I think of this, I can't forgive myself, and I can't even forgive myself for not thinking of giving it to her afterwards. The president who apologized and just wanted to put the blame on us found that we could no longer expose the president's true face through prosecution. I felt extremely angry... When I came to my senses, the president was already crawling like a toad. It’s on the road downstairs.”

…

Ten minutes later, a group of people arrived downstairs.

Megure Thirteen asked his subordinates to take Akino Keiyu into the police car. He turned around and saw Chi Feichi, Chong Shi Subaru, Conan and Haibara Ai all standing behind him, saying hello, "Brother Chi, I may bother you again next time." …”

"Officer Mumu, we made an appointment with the doctor to meet them." Chi Feichi blocked Mumu Shisan's words in advance, and then looked at Gao Mushe who was walking towards him, "If you want to know the details of this incident, you Just ask Officer Takagi, he knows everything we know, and there is nothing more to add.”

Takagi She stayed up all night and was about to ask when he could go back to rest. Unexpectedly, as soon as he arrived, he heard Chi Feichi leaving everything to him. Faced with the eyes of Mumu Shisan, he was stunned for a moment. He could only scratch his head and express his opinion, "I...I don't have anything to do today. I can go to the Metropolitan Police Department..."

"Takagi, then you can come back to the Metropolitan Police Department with me today. You will take a day off tomorrow. As for the surveillance mission in Chiba, I will let someone else take over for him," Megure Shisan said generously. Gao Mushe was given a break, and then he glanced at Chi Feichi sideways and complained speechlessly, "Brother Chi, do you not need to ask you to go to the Metropolitan Police Department to get the transcript of this case?"

"Of course this is the best. Let me thank Officer Memu in advance," Chi Feichi said and turned around to leave, not forgetting to greet Subaru, Conan, and Haibara Ai, "Let's go, don't keep the doctor and everyone waiting. Anxious."

Mumu Thirteen: "?"

Wait, did he say that these people don’t need to take notes? He said something similar, but what he meant was...

"I didn't go to see the scene immediately, and I may not know as much as Officer Takagi." Subaru Chongshi immediately turned around and followed Chi Feichi, "Since Mr. Chi doesn't need to take notes, then I don't need to go either. It feels a lot easier if I don’t have to worry about taking notes this time.”

Mumu Thirteen: "??"

Why is this Mr. Chongmi like this? Each of these is really...

"Edogawa and I are children, so there is no need for us to take notes," Haibara Ai said in a leisurely tone, and turned to Conan and asked, "By the way, Edogawa, do you want to take notes? "

"If I don't have to go, of course I don't want to go," Conan replied seriously. "With the time saved, I want to go to the bookstore and pick out a mystery novel with a good reputation..."

Mumu Thirteen: "???"

Hey, did he definitely say that these people don’t need to take notes? Have it?

On the roadside, a group of people got into the car one after another.

Before starting the car and preparing to leave, Chi Feichi politely greeted Mumu Shisan, "Officer Mumu, let's leave first."

"Officer Memu, see you another day!" Conan in the back seat also said goodbye obediently.

Mumu Shisan watched the car drive away and quickly shouted, "Hey, Brother Chi, you guys..."

"Didi!"

The red Lexus SC honked its horn twice and quickly passed a white car driving on the road. The red car's shadow swayed smoothly across a driving line at the intersection, maximizing the performance of the sports car, and then disappeared out of sight. Three sights.

Mumu Shisan had no expression on his face: "..."

He knew that this kid could run if he could, and he could climb up a ladder if given one!

…

In the car leaving, Conan leaned against the window until he could no longer see the figure of Mu Mu13 standing on the roadside, then he sat down on the seat, took out his mobile phone and checked the time, "9:35 a.m. We should be able to arrive at the hot spring hotel the doctor mentioned before the afternoon..."

"You can meet up with the doctor and the others as soon as possible," Chi Feichi looked at Conan's relaxed expression in the rearview mirror of the car, "Are you happy?"

Conan remembered what he had said before that he wanted to meet the doctor and the others as soon as possible and hoped that Chi Feichi would be more serious. He immediately choked and replied with beady eyes, "Happy, happy."

"So, what do you think of this limited-time puzzle-solving experience? It should be pretty good, right?" Chi Feichi asked again.

When leaving the apartment building, Conan and Subaru walked briskly and didn't look depressed, so he thought the two of them should be satisfied with the experience.

"At the last moment, I remembered that Uncle Kogoro also told me that adding salt to beer can produce foam..." Conan said, unable to help recalling his feelings at that time.

Solving the puzzle at the last moment is like successfully cutting the thread one second before the bomb explodes. It feels really exciting. This experience is not bad...

"I thought of it at about that time. When I was working outside, a photographer guest told me about the beer shooting technique," Subaru replied politely, "In terms of experience, it's the kind of beer shooting technique that is about to end when the countdown is about to end. The exciting feeling of catching up in front of me is really good..."

"However," Conan truthfully said that he felt a little depressed, "when I think that someone has already figured out the answer and is standing by watching us play, my mood becomes complicated."

"You are still a child. You don't smoke or drink. Coffee is not suitable for children. You don't drink it often," Chi Feichi said with relief. "You can't think of it, but it's normal..."

Conan: "..."

Here comes the standard pool comfort: You are a child/you are not often exposed to it, so it is normal to not expect it.

What he says makes so much sense every time, and it’s really easy to make people lose their ambition.

"What about me?" Chong Shi Subaru wanted to know how Chi Feichi would comfort himself, and asked proactively, "I am not a child anymore. I smoked cigarettes some time ago, and drank beer and coffee a lot. , I also figured out the key at the last moment, isn’t this too slow?”

"Of course not. During the time you lived next door to the doctor's house, every time I went to see you, there was no cigarette smell or cigarette butts in your room. When I was with everyone, I didn't want to smoke when I saw me smoking. It means you haven't smoked for a long time," Chi Feichi analyzed. "When we were drinking at the doctor's house before, you told me that you were used to drinking whiskey with ice alone, and you only drank beer when you were drinking with friends. , but you are often at home and don’t go out to party with friends that much, which means you haven’t drank beer for a while. At the same time, you rarely go to coffee shops. There are canned coffee bottles at home, which means you should be more accustomed to it. Drink canned coffee instead of hot coffee…”

Chong Shi Subaru: "..."

As expected, Mr. Chi is paying attention to his doctor's neighbor.

"In today's case, you don't come into contact with the three factors of beer foam, coffee hot air, and cigarette smoke. In fact, you don't come into contact with them much. After understanding the situation, it didn't take long for you to think of the method of sprinkling salt on beer. This speed is not slow anymore. Chi Feichi paused and said, "If someone like Mr. Maori, who is familiar with beer, were at the scene, he would definitely react immediately when he saw Mr. Akino using beer foam as evidence."

Conan: "..."

Thinking about it carefully, although my uncle is usually lost in the lake, if he were at the scene today, he would indeed be able to see the problem at a glance.

So, is it really because he is not very familiar with these things, so he reacted a long time late?

I was really comforted by Chi Feichi.
