Conan: I Am Not a Snake Spirit

"Yes, the protagonist of her novel is a beautiful detective who is knowledgeable and runs an ancient bookstore. She is also a fan of Sherlock Holmes, so when solving two of the cases, she has a very Sherlock-like style of solving crimes, and she even sits in a chair like Sherlock Holmes. "I thought about it," Conan said with great expectation, "It turns out she invited uncle over!"

Mao Lilan saw that Conan got excited when he talked about Sherlock Holmes, and suddenly thought of Kudo Shinichi. She was lost for a moment, and then smiled helplessly, but she was interested in visiting the mystery novelist, "But dad, that The mystery novelist invites you, the famous detective, to be a guest. Wouldn't it be nice if you brought us along?"

"It doesn't matter. When she called today, I had already discussed it with her. She said that there are many rooms there. She, her husband and her apprentice usually live there. She welcomes me to bring my daughter, apprentice or any kid who gets in the way. Let's go together..." Mouri Kogoro looked like a coward, but he still tried to put on the calm posture that an elder should have, "How about it? Do you want to go with me?"

Mao Lilan looked at Conan who was looking forward to it, and smiled and said, "Let's go too, Conan. Too many tragedies have happened recently. Going to the wild to see the scenery can also change your mood."

Conan smiled and nodded to Mao Lilan, "Yeah!"

Mouri Kogoro picked up a small steamed bun with chopsticks and put it in a bowl, and promised emphatically, "Don't worry, this time we are not following the entrusted Osaka Prefectural Police to visit, nor are we coming to investigate after receiving a threatening letter, we are just If a mystery novelist invites me to be his guest, nothing will happen again! What's more, with me, Kogoro Mouri and the famous mystery novelist here, even if there is any situation there, it will be solved as soon as possible. Just think of it as a time to relax!"

Chi Feichi: "..."

As soon as he heard his teacher say ‘don’t worry’, ‘nothing will happen’, ‘I, Moori Kogoro, am here’…

Even if he hasn't remembered which incident this was yet, he is sure that something will happen this time.

…

The next day.

In the evening, a car parked in front of a villa in the wilds of Shizuoka.

The modern-style villa stands on an open flat land on the top of a mountain without a specially built yard, and is connected to woods and mountain roads.

The twilight shone on the walls of the brand-new villa. After getting off the car, Mao Lilan looked around and felt that today's sunset was orange and red. It was different from the sunsets the group saw at the Tokura family mansion and the Nomen Art Museum. Warm and soft, I feel a lot more relaxed, and I have confidence in Mouri Kogoro's judgment before setting off.

In such a peaceful and warm place, no one will be killed again, right? You should be able to relax a bit this time!

Chi Feichi stood in the dusk and looked at the villa in front of him. After confirming that the light of today's sunset would not blur his vision, his sense of today's sunset was also very good.

But it’s just that I feel that today’s sunset is more friendly.

If Yueshui hadn't been curious about the mystery novelist, he wouldn't have planned to follow him and collide with the case.

And along the way, his teacher's poisonous milk never stopped.

'Although it's a bit remote, it's a newly built villa there. It's not a gloomy old house. There are no tunnels nearby that can be easily blown up. It's not the kind of place where incidents can easily happen...'

'I asked on the phone. Miss Haitang likes to create in a quiet environment, where only her husband and a disciple live together. Normally, except for her editor, no one will disturb her easily. There are few people there, The relationship between the staff is simple, unlike the Torakura family or the Nome Museum where there are a bunch of people, the relationship is messy, so nothing will happen...'

It's reasonable, but it's hard to convince him.

"Mr. Mori!"

Kaidou Chiga attached great importance to Mouri Kogoro's visit. She learned by phone that Mouri Kogoro was nearby, so she took her husband and apprentice to the door to wait. After Moori Kogoro and his entourage got off the bus, she warmly greeted him and said, "Thank you. If you can agree to my invitation, welcome everyone!"

"Are you Ms. Kaidou Chiga?" Mouri Kogoro saw that Kaidou Chiga was waiting for him with people. He felt that he was being taken seriously and responded enthusiastically, "I have admired you for a long time. It's really great that you brought so many people here to visit this time. I’m causing trouble for you!”

Kaidou Chiga has a thick body, a round face, some female-male facial features, and an ordinary dress and temperament. She looks like an ordinary housewife, but this image is very down-to-earth, and she is hosted in a place like her own private villa. Guests, it is easy to make guests feel relaxed.

Mouri Kogoro and Kaidou Chiga exchanged pleasantries and introduced their people to each other.

Just like what Mouri Kogoro said on the road, only three people lived in Kaido Chiga's villa - Kaido Chiga herself, Kaido Chiga's husband Kaido Yuichi, and Kaido Chiga's apprentice Shimura Sachiko.

Kaidou Yuichi wears black-rimmed glasses. He is about forty years old. Like Kaidou Chiga, he dresses homely and has a gentle and elegant temperament.

Sachiko Shimura looks much younger than the Kaido couple, tall and slender, with a gentle and obedient appearance, and a bit reserved in her speech.

Compared with the homely and down-to-earth style of Kaidou Chiga and the others, the group of people on Mouri Kogoro's side have better looks than ordinary people and have different temperaments, and they look quite good.

During the introductions of Kaido Chiga and Mouri Kogoro, the others greeted each other one after another, and then entered the villa under the leadership of Kaido Chiga.

The dinner was booked by Kaido Chiga over the phone. After Mouri Kogoro and his party were arranged to stay, the dinner was quickly delivered to the villa. Mouri Kogoro and his party were also invited to the restaurant for a feast.

After the meal, Kaidou Chiga, Rukaido Yuichi, and Shimura Sachiko were cleaning up in the dining room, and invited Mouri Kogoro and his group to rest in the living room.

Mouri Kogoro originally thought that Kaido Chiga wanted to talk to him about the case. On the way to the living room, he had already thought about which case to talk about.

As a result, after Chiga Kaidou brought a group of people to the living room, she seemed to have no interest in discussing the case. She said a few polite words to Kogoro Mori and suddenly sneered, "Mr. Mori, in fact, those two people have hooked up together secretly..."

Mouri Kogoro vaguely guessed who Kaido Chiga was talking about, but he didn't expect that Kaido Chiga, as a well-known writer, would not hesitate to expose family scandals to people he met for the first time. He was stunned for a moment, not knowing what to do. Answered, "Yes, really?"

Mao Lilan also felt that Kaidou Chiga's words were too direct, but she didn't think much about it. She was a little surprised and confirmed to Kaidou Chiga, "Well...the two people you mentioned are..."

"It's my husband Yuichi, and my disciple Sachiko!" Kaidou Chiga put a disdainful smile on her face, "In other words, for the two of them, I am just an obstruction, but I will not agree to divorce. , Let the two of them be satisfied! After all, I am a woman as strong as the devil, hahaha!"

Mouri Kogoro didn't know what expression to put on for a moment.

Even if Kaidou Chiga doesn't mind telling them the matter, it's not convenient for them to comment on other people's parents' shortcomings...

The others didn't know what to say, so they could only sit quietly on the sofa and watch Kaidou Chiga laugh.

Kaidou Chiga seemed to just want someone to complain to. After laughing enough, she continued to accuse Kaidou Yuichi and Shimura Yukiko of their immoral behavior. After talking for a full two minutes, she agreed with Mouri Kogoro for an interview time tomorrow morning and got up. Go to your room to get the signed book that you plan to give to the group.

After getting up and watching Kaidou Chiga leave, Koshimizu Nanatsuki remembered what Mouri Kogoro said on the way, and turned his attention to Mouri Kogoro, hesitating to say, "Mr. Mouri, um..."

Mao Lilan also looked at Mao Li Kogoro with confusion in his eyes, "Dad, is the personnel relationship here really simple?"
