Conan: I Am Not a Snake Spirit

I called several times, but no one answered.

The male shopkeeper didn't call anymore, put down his phone and sighed, "No, no one is answering..."

"She doesn't seem to be going to school," Xiaosudaxiang touched her chin with her right hand, a worried look on her face, "I don't know what's wrong..."

"Is that Miss Mooka a friend of my sister?" Conan asked aloud.

"Yes, she is my classmate in college," Xiaosudaxiang said, unconsciously looking at Chi Feichi, who was waiting at the door and looking down at his phone with an indifferent expression. He quickly looked away and looked at Conan said, "We work here together and we can be considered good friends. She should be taking over my shift today and she should be on duty..."

Conan paid attention to Xiaosudaxiang's reaction, glanced at Chi Feichi in confusion, then followed Xiaosudaxiang's line of sight and looked at the duty list on the wall at the entrance, "Really, it should be hers now. Working hours."

Xiaosudaxiang said to the male shopkeeper with a worried look, "When I go back from get off work, I'll stop by her place and have a look."

"Wait!" Gu Naiyao said immediately, "I want to go with you too!"

"Then we should go together!" Conan became interested in this theft incident. He raised his head and smiled at Mao Lilan, Suzuki Sonoko, and Koshimizu Nanatsuki, "After all, Sister Sonoko was also wronged because of this incident. Knowing the truth counts as an explanation, right?"

Suzuki Sonoko saw that Conan just wanted to satisfy his curiosity, but thinking that he had indeed been wronged because of the thief, he did not object to Conan's proposal.

"And..." Conan turned to look at Chi Feichi at the door and asked curiously, "Does Miss Xiaosuda know Brother Chi?"

At the door, Chi Feichi moved his eyes from the mobile phone to Xiaosudaxiang's face. No matter how he looked at it, he felt...

No impression, no recognition at all.

Xiaosudaxiang was a little uncomfortable being stared at by Chi Feichi's cold eyes, but she still gave Chi Feichi a kind smile. Under the curious eyes of others, she explained, "Um...actually I am Dongdu Students in the Department of Veterinary Medicine at the University…”

"Huh?!" Suzuki Sonoko turned to look at Chi Feichi in surprise, "The Department of Veterinary Medicine at Dongdu University...isn't this the same as Brother Feichi? Brother Feichi just applied for early graduation this year, and you are still in school. Went to school, no wonder you guys know each other!”

Conan: "..."

Does Yuanzi feel...

It's true that Miss Kosuda knows Brother Chi, but seeing that Brother Chi has no intention of saying hello, it's obvious that Brother Chi doesn't know Miss Kosuda. It doesn't seem appropriate to say 'you know each other'?

Chi Feichi: "..."

Take a closer look...

Well, I still don’t know him.

"We are students in the same class," Xiaosudaxiang felt a little dumbfounded when Chi Feichi looked at her as a complete stranger. She smiled at Suzuki Sonoko and others, "Masako and I are classmates in the class next to him. However, classmate Chi's learning progress is different from that of all of us. When he was in school, he studied the following courses by himself in advance. Even his classmates rarely saw him in the theory class, so he definitely didn't know me. …”

Chi Feichi ignored Suzuki Sonoko's teasing, withdrew his gaze and continued to look through the new messages received on his phone.

It turned out to be from the next class.

College is not high school. There are some introverted students who don't recognize their classmates after one year of school, so it's not surprising that they don't recognize the students in the next class, right?

As long as they are not his classmates, otherwise the fact that he has not known a few classmates for two years will be exposed.

"But there should be many people who know Brother Fei Chi, right?" Suzuki Sonoko joked with a smile, "He is the kind of campus weirdo who looks handsome but has a withdrawn and indifferent personality, but also has a strong learning ability!"

Xiaosudaxiang could only apologize.

Totally right...

But it was not polite to say this. She could only think about it in her heart and smile.

…

It was already time for Xiaosudaxiang to get off work. After packing her things, she took the others to find Masako Mooka.

Masako Mooka rented an apartment off campus.

The apartment is located in the suburbs of Mika Town. It takes about thirty minutes to walk to the apartment from the commercial area where Rumba Cafe is located.

Since there is no traffic near the apartment, taking the bus to the apartment is not much faster and takes about twenty minutes.

The neighborhood is mostly ordinary apartment buildings built and rented out by private households. The people living nearby are relatively mixed, but most people work outside in the afternoon. You can't see many people walking on the street, and the environment is very quiet.

The apartment building that Masako Mooka rents is located on a small road. It has only two floors and six households. The exterior walls are mottled and the open space in front of the building is overgrown. The stairs leading to the second floor are also outdoor iron-frame stairs. Fortunately, the stairs have been renovated. So that the apartment building doesn't look like a dilapidated building about to be demolished.

Suzuki Sonoko looked at the weeds in the yard and the washing machines placed at the door of each household on the first floor, and asked curiously, "It shouldn't be expensive to rent a house here, right? Is it okay for a girl to rent here alone and there is no access control?" Wouldn’t it be safe?”

Chi Feichi also looked at the lush grassy yard in front of the small building.

Yuanzi felt that curiosity was completely normal.

It has been a while since he traveled to this world, and there was no one who rented in this kind of apartment building around him before.

Not to mention the protagonists, their families are either rich or noble, and at least they have a building in the center of Yoneka Town to open an office.

As for the people related to the case that the protagonist group usually comes into contact with, although there are some who rent in ordinary apartments, whether it is the apartment rented by Azusa Enomoto or the apartment rented by Reina Minato, they are much better than here and not so old. , simple.

Even the haunted old apartment is not so remote, and the environment seems better than this apartment.

Even he, who usually visits the streets and alleys and has seen many ordinary apartments, feels fresh about this kind of place, let alone the garden.

However, he also knew that the Japan of this world was not much different from his previous life.

It is not that there are people with financial constraints here. There are not a few people renting in such suburban apartment buildings in Tokyo. It is just that given the living environment of the protagonist group, it is not easy to interact with such people.

In fact, the protagonist group is pretty good, and even the eldest lady Suzuki Sonoko is down-to-earth enough. If it were the children of bankers, the children of company presidents, and the children of industry celebrities who were at the Cocoon game conference, most of them would have grown up When you are 20, 30, or 40 years old, you may not even think that there are such apartment buildings in Tokyo, let alone see them in person.

It’s no wonder that Ai Haihara couldn’t help but lament Japan’s lack of hope for the future at the press conference that day.

However, class differences in Japan have not existed for a day or two. As a foreign soul, he does not have much sense of responsibility to deal with these problems.

Furthermore, these issues should be worried about by politicians, so why should a person from the capital camp worry about that...

"I mentioned safety issues to Masako, but she said that before she moved here, she surveyed the neighbors in this area. Most of them were young people who had just arrived in Tokyo. There were no gangsters or bosozoku. I saw that she had not encountered any gangsters after living there for a while. When there was any trouble, I didn't try to persuade her again." Xiaosudaxiang led the way to the first floor and patiently answered Suzuki Sonoko's question, "After all, the rent here is really cheap. I heard Masako say that the room she rented has Twenty square meters, but it only costs 60,000 yen a month plus management fees..."

Koshizui Nanatsuki calculated the score silently in his mind.

She rented a small building from Mr. Chi. She had previously agreed that in addition to a nominal rent of 20,000 yuan, she would also pay for the annual taxes, insurance premiums, sanitation fees and other expenses for the small building. It adds up to more than 300,000 yen a year, which is about 30,000 yen a month.

Compared with the rent in other places in Tokyo, it couldn't be cheaper. Mr. Chi really took care of her on purpose...

Thinking about it, Yuesui Nanatsuki approached Chi Feichi and teased in a low voice, "The more I think about it, the more I feel that you, the landlord, are very kind."

Chi Feichi looked at Keshui Nanatsuki with a happy face, and was a little worried that Keshui Nanatsuki would be sold later and help people count the money, "I don't know if you're kind or not. Anyway, I cheated a girlfriend and got it, and I didn't lose anything." .”

The smile on Koshizui Nanatsuki's face froze, and he reflected on whether he had suffered a big loss. He calculated the accounts again in his mind, and soon smiled and rolled his eyes again, "I also cheated a boyfriend and got it, and I will wait for him in the future." When I can't pay the rent, I can still play tricks and stall for time, and even the landlord won't look down on me and press me, so I won't lose anyway."

Ahead, Xiaosudaxiang led the way to the door of the middle house on the first floor. He saw Suzuki Sonoko, Mao Lilan and others curiously looking at the washing machine at the door. They thought about the background of Chi Feichi that had been circulated in the university and guessed the lives of the two girls. The conditions are not bad. He smiled sheepishly and said, "The indoor space here is not big, so everyone likes to put the washing machine outside. It is convenient to use the water pipes set up at the door, and it is also convenient to dry clothes directly outside. Before you You must have never been to an apartment like this, right?”

"Yes," Suzuki Sonoko said looking forward to everything she looked at. "If it wasn't so dangerous here, I would really like to rent a room to live in. I could decorate the house how I like and do what I like in it." No matter how you think about it, it’s great. Xiaolan can also move here by then. The two of us will live together, go to school together every day, and go home together..."

Conan: "?"

What about him? Does Kudo Shinichi no longer exist in Sonoko’s mind? Where are you going to let Xiaolan throw him?

"But it's a pity that before I go to college, my parents will definitely not agree to let me live out on my own," Suzuki Sonoko became depressed again. "When I go to college, it is unlikely that they will agree. Even if they agree, They will definitely arrange the house. I don’t have much choice. Xiaolan, you can’t live with me. No matter whether you are an uncle or a kid, you will definitely be worried..."
