Conan: I Am Not a Snake Spirit

ten minutes later……

Mouri Kogoro called Kaido Chiga in the room.

"Yeah, I don't think they care about you as much as they seem... It's just the detective's intuition... I'm not sure what will happen to them yet, but I think Miss Qianhe should be more careful... Yes, I will talk again tomorrow Let’s investigate... where, Miss Qianhe invited us over as guests, if there is anything I can do to help, I will try my best to help..."

After hanging up the phone, Maori Kogoro saw Mao Lilan looking at him helplessly and said speechlessly, "Okay, Miss Qianhe said that she has always been on guard against those two people and she will be careful. You should go back to bed quickly."

The others had finished washing up and gathered in Mouri Kogoro's room just to know Kaido Chiga's reaction. Knowing that Kaido Chiga would be careful, Mao Lilan felt relieved and turned to Koshimizu Nanatsuki and smiled, "Then Sister Nanatsuki and I went back to the room... By the way, Brother Feichi, you said before that you would have a video call with Prince Philip tonight and teach Prince Philip Chinese, right?"

"That's right." Chi Feichi responded.

This was the time that he had made an appointment with Philip before. In order not to affect the rest of others, he even lived separately from Kogoro Mori and asked Chiga Kaido to arrange another room for him.

"Since Brother Chi has something to do..." Mao Lilan leaned over and looked at Conan and asked with a smile, "Does Conan want to sleep at our place tonight?"

Conan looked at Mao Lilan blankly.

Sleeping together or something... is there such a good thing?

"Before you went out, you always lived with Brother Feichi," Mao Lilan smiled at Conan, "but he has something to do tonight. If you go with him, you might disturb him..."

Just when Conan was about to nod, he felt his collar being pulled by someone, his feet were off the ground, and he was being lifted up.

"do not bother."

Chi Feichi carried Conan out expressionlessly, "With other children here, Philip might feel more relaxed and interesting when studying, and Conan can also learn some knowledge. It's vacation now, so he will sleep a little later at night." does not matter."

Conan didn't even get a chance to speak before he was taken out of the room by Chi Feichi.

"Xiaolan, please don't worry about that brat," Mouri Kogoro expressed his support for his apprentice's actions. "Children can get together and chat casually and play together. Let him follow Feichi, maybe he will feel It’s even more interesting!”

"That's right," Mao Lilan and Koshizu Nanatsuki left the room and said with a smile, "Let Conan listen to me chatting with Nanatsuki, and he might get bored... Dad, then Nanatsuki and I will Sister Tsuki went back to her room, please rest early."

Conan was carried to the door of the next room by Chi Feichi: "..."

No, actually chatting is not the point...

"Click."

"Bang."

As the door opened and closed, Chi Feichi carried Conan back to his room and put Conan down. "I'll get the laptop. If you feel sleepy, go to bed by yourself."

"yes……"

Conan responded obediently, turned to look at the closed door, sighed inwardly resignedly, followed Chi Feichi to the table, hesitated for a moment, and then asked aloud, "Brother Chi, what do you have tonight?" Do you want to tell me something? You would never have taken me into the room so proactively before..."

"I don't want any strange creatures to sleep with Yueshui," Chi Feichi glanced at Conan coldly and took out his laptop from his duffel bag, "Not even creatures like little boys."

A poor answer to this question may make Conan suspect that he already knows that "Conan is Kudo Shinichi", but this kind of question is not difficult to deal with, as long as he tells the truth.

It's not because 'Conan is Kudo Shinichi' that he is on guard. He is equally guarded against all creatures that make him feel inappropriate...

"Strange creature..." Conan pulled out the chair and sat on it with a black line, complaining with his half-moon eyes, "You are too easy to get jealous, you can't tell it at all."

"Always pretend to be generous on the surface." Chi Feichi said without changing his expression.

Conan: "..."

This... Brother Chi is really honest.

Chi Feichi put his laptop on the table, turned it on and checked the remaining battery capacity and time. He sent a UL chat message to Philip, confirmed that Philip was ready, and initiated a video call directly on the UL chat software.

Conan suddenly felt that it would be good for him to learn a few Chinese sentences. He lay on the table and watched curiously.

Chi Feichi is indeed teaching Phillip to learn Chinese, but the content of the learning...

"We mentioned last time that there are seven skills used by the Lord. The first is to visit in public, the second is to punish the powerful, the third is to trust and reward as much as possible, the fourth is to listen to the blame, the fifth is to doubt the edict, and the sixth is If you ask questions based on what you know, you will be told the opposite for seven days..."

The first time, Chi Feichi read it in Chinese, which made Conan look confused.

Afterwards, Philip said the translation he learned last time in English.

"It means that there are seven methods used by the monarch to control his ministers, which are called seven techniques. The first is to observe and test from all aspects, the second is to punish to show the majesty of the monarch, the third is to reward those who are loyal, and the fourth is to The first is to listen to their opinions one by one and urge them to take action; the fifth is to issue suspicious edicts and deceitfully drive the officials; the sixth is to ask them for answers after mastering the facts; the seventh is to deliberately say and do counterarguments to test them..."

This time Conan understood. He looked at Fipley with a serious face on the computer screen with a blank look on his face.

So, what exactly is Brother Chi teaching Prince Phillip? Don’t you think it’s over the top to teach this to a six-year-old?

"Very good, Your Highness Philip has memorized it," Chi Feichi remained calm, "Then, next is Your Majesty Isabella, you said before that you wanted to memorize this passage, how is the recitation progress now? Already?"

"I've almost memorized it, but there may be some problems with my pronunciation, and I need you to correct it."

On the other side of the computer, Isabella finished answering in English, and then recited the passage that Chi Feichi read in Chinese.

There are many inaccuracies in pronunciation. Every time Chi Feichi reminds me, Isabella will carefully connect the context and repeat it twice until she pronounces a more correct pronunciation.

Later, Chi Feichi asked Isabella to talk about her understanding of the use of the seven arts.

After Conan was surprised, he just stood aside and watched silently.

He seems to have discovered...

No, be more confident, he just discovered something amazing.

On the surface, Chi Feichi is teaching Prince Philip to learn Chinese, but in fact he is quoting Chinese literature to teach Prince Philip how to be a monarch.

Prince Philip does not need to memorize the original Chinese text, as long as he remembers the translation and can understand one or two words, it is enough.

In comparison, Queen Isabella is the one who is interested in ancient Chinese literature, happily attends Chinese classes and memorizes the original Chinese text.

At the same time, Queen Isabella also serves as a 'teaching assistant', using her own experience and giving examples to help Prince Philip understand the translation.

For example, 'a suspicious edict was issued'... Well, for the six-year-old Philip, these were still beyond the scope of the rules, and Philip was confused about understanding them, but he still understood part of the content.

For example, you need to observe things from multiple aspects and find the truth...

Of course, for children, understanding ‘what does this mean’ is just the beginning, and there are countless ‘whys’ behind it.

At first, Philip couldn't understand why he did this. Queen Isabella gave some examples, but it was still difficult to explain clearly. Later, Chi Feichi quoted the classic story of "the blind man and the elephant" to solve Philip's problem.

This is why Queen Isabella has mentioned many examples, but Conan still thinks that Queen Isabella is only a teaching assistant.

During the teaching period, Queen Isabella heard that Conan was next to Chi Feichi and greeted Conan in a friendly manner. Later, during some childish question-and-answer interactions, she would occasionally ask Conan.

Those questions were very simple, so Conan didn't have to cover them up and just answered them casually. Just continuing to act stupid and cute still made Conan feel a little tired.

Fortunately, the teaching did not last long. After Philip studied for more than forty minutes, the class ended, and Conan finally no longer had to deal with the childish interactions initiated by Queen Isabella.

Philip was taken down by the servant to change clothes and exercise, while Queen Isabella stayed to chat with Chi Feichi.

"Fei Chi, when it comes to driving your ministers deceitfully, what does it mean to be deceitful?"

"The theory of the Seven Arts comes from the Chinese book "Han Feizi - Nei Chu Shuo Shang Qi Shu". In fact, in the original text, there are explanations and examples for each technique. The five tricks are to give strange instructions that make people think it is not simple but also pondering. The opaque instructions aroused suspicion and fear among traitorous officials..."

Conan listened curiously and found that the two of them planned to discuss the so-called 'seven arts' in depth. He guessed that the discussion would not end for a while, so he did not disturb Chi Feichi. He turned around and climbed onto the bed and lay down, looking at the ceiling and listening. Chi Feichi discussed with Queen Isabella, his thoughts diverging.

The relationship between his little friend and the Queen is better than outsiders imagine. When the two parties discuss it, they communicate as equals as friends. In addition, he is the teacher of the Crown Prince. Then when Prince Philip grows up and becomes the king, his little friend will be the king. He is an elder. Although he is not a blood relative, he may be closer than most blood relatives. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is a godfather-like existence...
