Conan: I Am Not a Snake Spirit

In the afternoon of that day, Chi Feichi and his party flew to Tottori County and stayed at a hot spring hotel invested by Toto Leisure Industry.

The hot spring hotel was built in a village called Changyu Village. In addition to investing in the hot spring hotel in the village, Dongdu Leisure Industry also invested in a ranch around the village.

The various flavors of ramen in the village were originally very delicious. After Dongdu Leisure Industry invested in the development of the village, the village had a supply of cheap meat raw materials, and the technology of making ramen soup became more and more sophisticated, and it gradually became famous.

Delicious ramen, hot spring hotels, and ranch sightseeing make up the three pillars of "eat, stay and play" travel. Nagaha Village welcomes many tourists every year.

The villagers of Changyu Village either work in ranches, hot spring hotels, or run ramen shops, B\u0026Bs, and souvenir shops in the village.

After the tourism development of Dongdu Leisure Industry, the lives of the villagers are better than before. Therefore, the villagers also have a good impression of Dongdu Leisure Industry and actively cooperate with Dongdu Leisure Industry to organize some activities, from spring festivals to The winter festival will be held, and the village will develop better and better. It is a very high-quality partner.

Chi Fei was addicted to delivering things late. When he got off the plane, he ordered a batch of fruit snacks. After checking in at the hotel, he and Dongcheng Shengze delivered the fruit snacks to the homes of villagers near the hotel, and then sent them to villagers who had time. Help out and send leftovers to other people’s homes.

It is winter, and the village has just held a winter festival. There are still many tourists staying. The villagers are also very enthusiastic towards tourists, giving the whole village a happy winter atmosphere.

After dark, the village streets were still filled with markets and lights were brightly lit everywhere.

The villagers knew Dongcheng Shenze, the president of Dongdu Leisure Industry, and were very enthusiastic about the group. Several families invited a group of people to taste their own special ramen. In the end, Chi Feichi and others could only choose by throwing dice. Went to one of the ramen shops.

"This is one of the best projects for investment and development in Dongdu's leisure industry," Dong Chengsheng was sitting in the Japanese ramen shop, turning his head to look at the lively streets outside the gap in the curtain, with a smile on his face that always seemed calm. Some people are happy, "I come here several times every year. Sometimes I bring my family here, sometimes I invite clients to bring their families. Especially before and after festivals, the atmosphere in the village is lively, and I can experience a quiet and peaceful life in the nearby pastures. Very suitable for traveling with the family. ”

Koshimizu Nanatsuki also felt that the atmosphere in Nagahama Village was soothing. He turned to Chi Feichi and smiled, "If we have time in the future, let's bring Xiao Ai and the others to play here. The children will definitely like it here!"

"And in the past two years, some people have discovered that there are many places suitable for stargazing near the village. There are many sunny days in this area, and you can see the stars many times a year, so many stargazing enthusiasts have come here together in the past two years. Come," the shop owner led the clerk to bring the ramen to the table, and said with a smile to Dongcheng Katsunori, "So, this is definitely one of the best projects for leisure industry investment in Dongdu! It’s not a big city, but the environment here is much better than those places. If we only compare it with travel villages, our Changyu Village can be regarded as the best built by everyone!”

"Yes, yes!" Dongcheng Shengze responded with a smile. Suddenly he heard the sound of something colliding outside the house. He was stunned for a moment, turned his head and looked over, and saw through the gap in the curtain that there seemed to be two people outside. The gang was quarreling.

The shop owner scratched his head in embarrassment, "With so many tourists coming, it's inevitable that some bad-tempered customers will start a fight..."

As soon as Chi Feichi had the idea of ​​'going to break up the fight', he found that someone outside had already persuaded the people who were arguing to leave. He looked away when he saw that some villagers were about to send two groups to find the police stationed in the village.

"There have been a lot of tourists coming to the village in the past few years. Last year, there seemed to be some organized extremists who came to travel, and there were more thieves using festival activities to steal. I remember that the person in charge of the operation here has been applying for more police stations for several years in a row. Organize villagers to form a security patrol team. Currently, there are more police officers stationed in the village than in many villages, and the security patrol team seems to be doing a good job." Dongcheng Shengnori explained, looked at the shop owner and asked, "This year's security should be It’s not getting worse, right?”

"No, although there were no new police officers stationed last year, the security patrol team in the village is enough, and many of the guys who look like they are not easy to mess with actually won't take the initiative to cause conflicts with others," the store owner laughed. He smiled and said, "Most of the people who quarrel and fight are drunk guests. It will be fine when they sober up."

Dongcheng Shengze's tense expression relaxed. Seeing that Chi Feichi had already begun to move the tachyon to eat the ramen, he thought about it for a moment and did not perform any more pre-meal rituals. He opened the tachyon and prepared to eat the noodles, "I remember last year. When I came here, I heard that a high school student had an accident here and accidentally fell off a cliff and died...Have you built a fence there this year?”

"It has been repaired before, but sometimes there are snowstorms in winter, and the fence is blown by the strong wind before it gets the coldest," the store owner sighed, "and those high school students are stargazing enthusiasts, so they go The place is not very close to the village, and they may go anywhere. We can’t build the fence that far, so we can only ask the hot spring hotel to remind them to be careful before they set off.”

Dongcheng Sheng nodded and said with some regret, "There's nothing we can do about it. I just feel that the child who died is a pity. I heard that she was a girl in the first grade. She didn't die immediately when she fell off the cliff. She was just injured. He was injured, and the real cause of death was freezing to death..."

"Weren't her companions with her when she fell off the cliff?" Koshimizu Nanatsuki heard that there was something unusual about the incident, and he wanted to ask questions out of habit, "Since we were going to the wild planets, She should have more than one companion to go to the wild with her."

"I heard that everyone from their astronomy club went there that day, but on the way, she suddenly ran back alone, as if she was going back to the village," the store owner recalled, "but she didn't stop on the way. She accidentally fell off the cliff. When her companions followed to look for her, they did not find that she had fallen off the cliff. Many of our villagers went to help search that night, but it was a winter with heavy snowfall two days ago. When we went to search, it started to snow, so no one found her under the cliff that night. When the sky got brighter the next day, someone noticed someone on the edge of the cliff and found her. "

"Did he freeze to death..." Koshimizu Nanatsuki tried to imagine a person lying in the ice and snow and freezing to death. He found that it was difficult to imagine the despair, and sighed softly, "It's really pitiful."

"Yes, that incident made many of us feel sad. The two villagers who went to the cliff that night regretted it for a long time afterwards," the shop owner also sighed with emotion, and quickly added , "By the way, her classmates from the astronomy club also came this year. It seemed that they missed her so much that they chose to come here during these few days. Those children still insisted on going to the wild to observe the stars, but this time they were accompanied by school teachers, so they should It will be safer..."

Chi Feichi and his party ate the village's specialty ramen and wandered around the village market.

When Koshimizu Nanatsuki contacted Haibara Ai on the phone, he took a video of the street market and sent it to Haibara Ai. Later, he heard someone on the street saying that tonight was also suitable for stargazing, so he went back to the hotel and found an employee who was familiar with the nearby terrain. , please ask the other party to lead the way to a closer place to see the stars.

Chi Feichi saw that Yuesui Nanatsuki was interested, so of course he would not stop him.

Takatori Isao and Fuyushiro Katsunori didn't mind looking at the stars here. Fuyujo Katsuno's secretary actively asked someone to borrow binoculars.

Changyu Village is located in the mountains around Mt. Nagi. Climbing from the back of the village to the top of the mountain, it won't take long to reach an open cliff. Looking out from the edge of the cliff, you can see the crest of nearby low peaks.

In winter, when the mountain ridge is covered with white snow, it looks like a long white feather lying horizontally. This is probably the origin of the name of the village. And with the changes of spring, summer, autumn and winter, this 'long feather' will also follow. Change color.

What can be seen from the cliff is not only the Changyu Mountain Ridge. Since sunny days are prone to occur in this area, the open terrain on the cliff is indeed a good place for stargazing.

The hotel staff took Chi Feichi and others all the way to the cliff of Back Mountain. They met many stargazing enthusiasts on the way. When they arrived at a cliff, they also met the group of high school students that Dongcheng Katsunori and the ramen shop owner talked about. .

Three high school students, one boy and two girls, wore uniform-style cold-proof clothing with the school's emblem and the astronomy club's logo embroidered on it. They both carried long satchels containing observation instruments.

Both girls have short hair, one has short black hair and has a boyish heroic demeanor, the other has short yellow hair that reaches a little above the shoulders, has some natural curls, and looks more cute. Standing with the two of them The male high school students are also handsome and elegant. The three of them standing together are a combination that can easily attract others' attention.

Next to them, a man was wearing the same type of cold-weather clothing as the three of them. He looked to be a few years older than the three of them. He should be the 'teacher who came with us this year' as the owner of the ramen shop said. He was not short, but he was rather thin. The cheeks are somewhat sunken and don't look very strong.

The four people arrived a little earlier than Chi Feichi and others, and arrived on the cliff in less than five minutes. Seeing the seven or eight people from Chi Feichi's side arriving on the cliff, they couldn't help but pay attention.

The two sides stopped at a distance. Since the high school quartet also stayed in the hotel, the hotel employees took the initiative to say hello.

After confirming that there were no bad guys here, the teacher, who was in his twenties, led three high school students, each holding a bouquet of flowers, to the edge of the cliff, and dropped the bouquets one after another from the edge of the cliff.

"A moment of silence for Aida-san!"

The teacher took the lead in throwing the bouquet down the cliff, and then took the lead in closing his eyes and observing silence.

Koshimizu Nanatsuki was not in a hurry to look at the stars. He looked at the four people and then at the cliff, "That should be the scene of the accident."

"Um."

Chi Feichi responded softly and followed to observe the four people on the cliff.

Last year, someone in the stargazing team died in an accident. This year, these people gathered at the scene of the accident again. Coupled with this "1 + 3 choose 1" staffing, it gave him a premonition that something was about to happen.

But the Death God student clearly didn't follow him. He shouldn't be... not that plague-like... right?
