Conan: I Am Not a Snake Spirit

"Then should we go find armbands for Conan?" Ayumi asked worriedly.

"The food has been served. Let's eat first." Haiyuan Ai reacted quickly and found an excuse with a calm face. "If we leave with him, Brother Chi and the others won't be able to have a good meal. Let's eat quickly." Okay, then we’ll go find Edogawa.”

The three children were deceived by Hui Yuan Ai again.

When Chi Feichi returned to the restaurant before, he heard that Conan and Haihara Ai had left the team, so he guessed that the two were looking for clues about 'raki'. He pretended that he believed Haihara Ai's words and returned with his three children. to the restaurant.

Under Haibara Ai's persuasion, Mao Lilan and Koshimizu Nanatsuki did not go to the first floor to help Conan look for things, but took the children to have dinner.

During dinner, Haibara Ai pretended to be casual and asked, "By the way, Brother Fei Chi, did you get the candy sent by President Kumada?"

Chi Feichi put the soup into the bowl with a spoon, his movements were smooth and smooth, and his calm expression did not change at all, "I've got it."

Gentai put down his chopsticks excitedly, stretched out his hand to trace the outline of a large cardboard box with Haibara Ai, "Haihara, President Kumada gave us such a big box of candy!"

Ayumi added with a smile, "Brother Chi felt that bringing such a big box of candies to the restaurant was too much of an inconvenience, so after he got the candies, he sent them back to the room!"

Hui Yuan Ai nodded and asked nonchalantly, "Then Brother Chi shouldn't have come back much earlier than me, right?"

"Yes, Brother Chi just came back two or three minutes earlier than you," Mitsuhiko said with a smile, "You and Conan have never come back. When Brother Chi returned to the restaurant, we were preparing to go find you. After he heard about it, he planned to Come with us, but as soon as we got to the door, we saw you coming back."

Haihara Ai casually patched up his own problem, "So, Edogawa and I were not the only ones everyone was waiting for. Brother Chi is not much faster than us..."

"That's what I said, but next time you want to leave for a while, you must remember to say hello to everyone first," Koshimizu Nanatsuki deliberately said with a straight face, "At least let everyone know what you are going to do."

Haibara Ai looked at Kishui Nanatsuki's extremely serious look, and suddenly understood why Conan would quickly lower his head and admit his mistake every time Mao Lilan made a serious face. Some eyes had no offensive power at all, but they were really unstoppable. , "I'm sorry, we were too anxious at the time and didn't come back to say hello to everyone."

Koshizu Nanatsuki felt that Haibara Ai looked wilted when he lowered his head, so he immediately softened his expression and softened his tone, "Don't forget it next time, hurry up and eat. By the way, Xiao Ai, you want to drink." Soup? Do you want me to give you a bowl..."

Mouri Kogoro turned to Chi Feichi and complained in a low voice, "Nanatsuki seems to be the kind of person who will pamper children in the future. Just like Xiaolan, he can't bear to blame the little ones whenever they show pitiful expressions. ”

Chi Feichi looked at Koshizu Nanatsuki and whispered back, "As long as she is happy."

Maori Kogoro:"?"

Hey, hey, it’s a matter of children’s education. You can’t just be happy, right?

"If the child disobeys, I will be responsible for beating him." Chi Feichi added calmly.

Mouri Kogoro looked at Chi Feichi's cold and stern face, and suddenly felt that his worries just now were in the wrong direction, "Ahem, Feichi, in fact, when dealing with children, I think we should give priority to oral education..."

"That's not what the teacher said when he beat Conan."

"Well...it's all because that kid deserves a beating! Yes, that's it! Look at him tonight, he ran around without saying hello. What if we don't let him have a long memory and keep running around like this in the future? ?”

…

Half an hour later, Conan was sitting on the sofa in the living room of the suite, with a big bag that Mouri Kogoro had punched out on his head to make him remember. He was speechless as he ate the dinner that Chi Feichi had packed and brought back. I felt in my heart that a certain uncle was really angry tonight.

Others gathered in the living room. The three children waited for Chi Feichi to open the large cardboard box containing the candies, and then gathered around to select the candies to taste.

Mao Lilan and Koshimizu Nanatsuki reminded the children not to eat too much, and curiously chose candies such as wine-filled chocolates and gummy candies to try.

There was not only sugar in the big cardboard box, but also two bottles of Kuma Soju.

When Mouri Kogoro saw the soju, his eyes immediately lit up. He persuaded Mourilan with reasons such as 'You should relax during the trip' and 'It's troublesome to bring too many things back'. He chose a bottle of wine and turned on the TV to choose. He even called the hotel to order some food to accompany the wine. After everything was ready, he and Chi Feichi sat in the living room and drank soju.

While eating dinner, Conan was distracted and thinking about the guest list he had peeped at the front desk on the first floor. He analyzed the possibilities one by one. He only took it back when Kogoro Mori went to the door to get the snacks and drinks delivered by the hotel staff. After losing his thoughts, he looked up and saw Chi Feichi sitting next to him drinking. He suddenly thought that the time when Chi Feichi left coincided with the time when Raki appeared in the hotel. He also thought that Belmod always appeared next to Chi Feichi. , a guess emerged in his mind, and his expression became solemn.

He had been thinking about the other guests in the hotel, but he forgot that there was a person next to them who might be approached by someone from that organization.

But……

Brother Chi left the restaurant to get the candies sent by President Kumada. This matter can be confirmed by asking President Kumada and cannot be faked.

After getting the candies, Brother Chi felt that it was inconvenient to bring the box to the restaurant, so it made sense to send the box back to the room and then go to the restaurant to meet others.

Although Brother Chi was gone for more than half an hour in total, which seemed a bit long, but considering the time spent talking to President Kumada, going up and downstairs, and waiting for the elevator, plus the fact that Brother Chi might stay in the room for a while, it took more than half an hour before and after. Hours are not surprising either.

Um……

Having said that, he was still very concerned about the fact that the time Brother Chi left coincided with the time Raki showed up at the hotel.

Conan felt that he should ask clearly if he was concerned. He relaxed his brows and looked at Chi Feichi with a calm and innocent expression. His voice had the childishness of a child and said, "Brother Chi, when I'm looking for the detective armband downstairs, I'll go too. I searched the parking lot, but I didn’t see you and President Kumada in the parking lot. You wouldn’t have left the parking lot by that time, right?”

When Chi Feichi heard Conan's question, he knew that Conan had noticed him because of the timing of his departure. Since he was mentally prepared, he did not show any strange expression when he responded, "I don't know when you arrived at the parking lot. But President Xiongda and I didn’t spend too long in the parking lot chatting. If you arrived at the parking lot more than ten minutes after me, you definitely wouldn’t be able to meet us.”

Haihara Ai left the team and went to the side. He heard the two talking about the parking lot and looked at them silently without getting too close.

"That's it, but it actually took Brother Chi more than twenty minutes to deliver things from the parking lot to the fourteenth floor." Conan maintained an innocent and curious expression on his face, "Didn't you take the elevator to go upstairs?"

"I took the elevator upstairs, but I went to the bathroom in the room and stayed there for five or six minutes," Chi Feichi calmly responded to Conan and asked, "Is there anything wrong with the elevator?"

The elevator is monitored, and he and "Raki" may be photographed getting on the elevator together in the underground parking lot, and then leaving the elevator together on the thirteenth floor...

However, after he delivered the candies to the room, he asked Ark to hack into the hotel's surveillance system and directly delete today's surveillance video. He also pretended that today's video was not saved due to lack of storage space.

Detectives did not have a chance to see today's surveillance video.

Therefore, he is not worried about being exposed in this regard and can ask boldly.

"No," Conan smiled and said the excuse he made up, "It's just that I waited for a long time for the elevator when I went upstairs. I found that Brother Chi spent a lot of time going upstairs, so I wondered if he was waiting for the elevator like me. It took a lot of time, but with Brother Chi's physical strength, I think you might just take the stairs, and I want to confirm my guess with you..."

As he spoke, Conan pretended to sigh again, "I didn't expect that my reasoning was wrong this time."

"We'll talk about reasoning later. Finish your meal quickly."

Chi Feichi cooperated with Conan's acting in a gentle tone, pricking the villain of Belmode with needles in his heart.

Although he made some responses today, Conan should not be able to directly target him, but Belmode was successful, and successfully planted the seeds of doubt in Conan's heart.

The fact that he was not with everyone at that time was enough to be included in Conan's suspect list.

Detectives value facts. Even if Conan's emotions make him think it is impossible or impossible, reason will still prevail in Conan's mind. Even if he has acted like a righteous partner time and time again before, when new clues point to him as a suspect, Conan It will still overturn the previous reasoning based on new clues, or cast doubt on the old conclusion because of the conflict between the new clues and the old conclusion.

In fact, he understood one thing from the beginning - as long as he did it, he couldn't hide it forever.

Therefore, he would not feel shocked or even surprised by Belmod's success this time. It was just that Belmode's success caused him trouble and made him feel that the option of 'self-destruction' could be included in the schedule...

Rather than letting Belmode reveal his identity to Conan bit by bit, it is better to find a good opportunity to get this happiness by yourself.
