Conan: I Am Not a Snake Spirit

Conan knew that Mao Lilan didn't want to wear such a ferocious mask on his face, and felt a little funny. When he saw Chi Feichi walking to an ordinary display cabinet nearby, he followed him curiously, "Brother Chi, is there a mask you want to try on? "

"There's no need to try it on." Chi Feichi took out a white ghost mask with golden eyes and a bloody mouth, two golden fangs, and a face covered with round scales from the display cabinet. "I just want to see this up close. ."

"Yes, Master, this is it!" Feichi stuck his head out of Chi Feichi's collar, stared at the mask with his eyes, and shouted excitedly, "This mask is so beautiful! If there wasn't so much white , if you change it to a variety of colors and patterns, it will definitely be more beautiful!”

Chi Feichi: "..."

Is this the aesthetics of snakes?

Conan looked at the mask in Chi Feichi's hand and said with a cute childish voice, "The round scales on this mask are like snakes. It immediately reminded me of Feichi!"

Mao Lilan came forward curiously, looked at the mask, and then looked at Feichi's head, which was resting his head on Chi Feichi's collar. Suddenly, he felt that the ferocious mask had become a lot cuter, and he laughed and said, "It's true. But the mask looks much more fierce than Fei Chi!”

Fei Chi poked his head out a little, opened his mouth wide like a mask, his eyes were cold, and he looked very ferocious.

"Ah!" Hatsuho Toba, who was pushing Izumi Jizaburo closer, saw Feichi and screamed in fright.

Mao Lilan quickly reassured, "Don't worry, this is Brother Fei Chi's pet snake. It's not poisonous, and it's very well-behaved and won't bite."

Conan who was bitten, Kogoro Mouri: "..."

It's 'normal' and doesn't bite, thank you.

Fei Chi closed his mouth, shrank a little under Chi Fei Chi's collar, and continued to rest his head on Chi Fei Chi's collar. He changed his ferocious look from before and became quiet and harmless.

Seeing that Chi Feichi could carry the snake close to his body, Toba Hatsuko believed in Mao Lilan's words and breathed a sigh of relief, "Huh, I'm sorry, I haven't had much contact with snakes before, and I was always worried that snakes would attack me. So when I saw the snake just now, I suddenly became nervous."

Although Izumi Jisaburo was frightened at first, when he saw the snake being placed under Chi Feichi's clothes, he thought that it should be a docile pet snake. Once he heard that Feichi was not poisonous, he became calmer and moved his eyes to Chi Feichi. On the mask in Fei Chi's hand, "It seems that Mr. Chi is very fond of snakes. This mask is called the 'Great Ghost' mask..."

During the introduction by Izumi Jizaburo, the group continued to visit the exhibition hall.

Mouri Kogoro saw a gold and red mask that looked like a cow's face. He took it out with interest and held it up in front of his face.

Chi Feichi recognized it at a glance as the 'Thunder God' mask. When Mao Lilan asked about it, he briefly talked about the origin of the image of the Thunder God mask and the legend of the God of Thunder.

Izumi Jisaburo then discovered that Chi Feichi also knew a lot about Nomori. He took the initiative to chat with Chi Feichi about Nomiko. It turned out that Chi Feichi knew as much relevant knowledge as he did. The more he talked, the more frightened he became. Interested.

"There are about 250 kinds of energy faces, and about 60 kinds of basic forms. The others are all transformations of the basic forms, such as transforming into various fox faces..."

"In the traditional Japanese images of ghosts and ghosts, many ghosts and ghosts have horns on their heads. The Nohmen also followed this feature. The mask Mr. Chi put back just now and the Prajna mask both have horns..."

"The Weng mask that the curator just wore is called the 'White Shiwei'. Although it is a jaw-cut mask with curved incisions and stitches at the corners of the mouth, it looks a bit weird, but it itself is a symbol of wisdom, luck, and peace... The mask Mr. Tian wears is called 'Heita', which belongs to the male mask and is a brave and skilled general in Noh..."

"As for the mask worn by Qingxian Temple, it is called the 'Lion Mouth', and it is a mask of ghosts and gods..."

"Red masks of resentful spirits such as Qiao Ji and Red Prajna. The red color represents jealousy..."

Izumi Jizaburo and Chi Feichi exchanged information about the names, types, and legends of some masks, as well as the characteristics of various types of nōnen, which made Mao Lilan go from being a nōnen novice to a half-witness who can easily identify different nōnen. Insider.

After visiting the exhibition hall, Izumi Jisaburo took a group of people to visit the retro building nearby.

The room that serves as the living room is five meters high. In front of the wall opposite the door is a large statue that is more than three meters tall.

The statue has the appearance of a traditional Japanese priest, with red and white hunting robes carefully painted on it, and the carved face is somewhat similar to Izumi Jisaburo.

Izumi Jisaburo invited a group of people to sit around the irori in front of the statue, and asked the staff to bring tea and chestnuts. He also had people light up the irori and continued chatting with Chi Feichi.

"This art museum is a mansion built since my grandfather's generation. It has been passed down to this day. The only thing that has not been renovated is the hearth. The seat where I sit is called the main seat, which was made by the owner of the house..."

At first, Izumi Jizaburo and Chi Feichi talked about Nomian, just to use a topic that both parties were interested in to get closer. However, later, Izumi Jisaburo discovered that Chi Feichi knew no less about Nomian than he did, and he also saw that Chi Fei Chi's interest in Nengmei was not very strong, and he could only be regarded as one of the things he was more interested in knowing. He vaguely guessed that Chi Feichi's family background was not bad, and Chi Feichi was the apprentice of a famous detective, so he also realized that It was impossible for him to win over Chi Fei to become a bodyguard later.

In fact, let's not talk about his family background. A young man has a well-connected famous detective as his teacher, and his own knowledge and skills are much better than ordinary people. It is impossible for him to become a bodyguard.

He is not from one of those famous families, and he has no leverage to win such people over to his side...

However, even if you don't have a capable bodyguard, you can still make a good potential friend.

Izumi Jisaburo didn't mind making friends with potential stocks, and he could also chat with Chi Feichi, so he never gave up on getting closer to Chi Feichi. During the conversations between you and me, the atmosphere was always harmonious and harmonious.

Conan sat next to Chi Feichi, listening to Izumi Jizaburo telling the story of his grandfather. He reached out and grabbed a chestnut from a small jar on the side, put it in his mouth and bit it, and found that it was a raw chestnut. He put the chestnut back into the jar without saying anything.

The jar was full of chestnuts, but Conan put it down without putting the chestnuts in his hands properly, causing the chestnuts to roll down and fall into the furnace.

Chi Feichi glanced at Conan, saw Conan smiling sheepishly at him, then looked away, and continued to listen to Jizaburo Izumi's story.

Seeing that Chi Feichi didn't say that he was naughty, Conan breathed a sigh of relief. He looked at the hearth and saw that chestnuts had fallen into the fire. He could only sit down obediently and prepare to listen to Izumi Jizaburo's story before mentioning it. Chestnut thing.

Izumi Jizaburo told an interesting story about his grandfather's encounter when building a house, and also talked about the various furnishings in this ancient house, "Originally there was a grid called a fire shed above the stove, and hooks were used to hook and hang it on it. Because it was in the way, it has been removed..."

Conan looked up and stared at the wooden fish hanging in the sky, which meant setting fire.

Not long after Conan regained his sight, a figure hiding behind the roof window stretched out his hand and used scissors to cut the rope that fixed the wooden fish. The wooden fish hanging on the long rope suddenly swung towards the hearth, accompanied by the iron The hook hit the leader, Izumi Jisaburo.

"Snapped!"

The chestnuts that accidentally fell into the hearth exploded in the fire, and Jizaburo Izumi was so frightened that he fell back, just in time to avoid the wooden fish that was coming at him quickly.

The wooden fish carving the size of a human head hit the wall behind Izumi Jizaburo. The loop connecting the rope broke and fell heavily to the ground together with the iron hook.

When he encountered danger again, Izumi Jizaburo's face became ugly again, and his conversation was greatly reduced. He lamented that Conan had rescued him this time. When Mouri Kogoro went to investigate the roof and confirmed that the rope had been cut by someone, he did not take him again. People are interested in visiting and invite a group of people to the restaurant for dinner.

In order to thank Chi Feichi and others for their repeated rescues, Izumi Zhisaburo called to place an order at a high-end Japanese restaurant.

In less than an hour, a table of sumptuous dishes was put on the table.

Akaza Naru also brought out a souvenir from the kitchen, a box of cheese brought back from France.

Seeing this, Izumi Jisaburo also asked Hatsuko Toba to go to the kitchen to get two bottles of white wine to match the cheese with today's lunch.

“Looks delicious…”

When Akaza Naru also opened the cheese, Mao Lilan and Conan stepped forward out of curiosity, but were soon covered in noses by the stench, and could not say any words of praise.

The strong fishy smell, similar to that of canned herring, also made Chi Feichi raise his eyebrows.

It turns out that France also has this kind of dark cuisine circulating...

Akaza Naru also laughed, "The taste of this cheese is said to be 'God's Feet'. The smell is very special, but when you eat it, you will only have a strong milk aroma in your mouth! Just scoop a spoonful of it with a spoon and eat it. , but it’s basic courtesy!”

Chi Feichi silently withdrew his gaze.

Fortunately, he is an impolite person, so he doesn't have to worry about whether he eats or not.

But if nothing happens, an accident will happen, and this dark dish will not be placed in front of them, and it will be overturned soon...
