Conan: I Am Not a Snake Spirit

"Your Highness the Princess?" Serang Zhenzhen was confused.

"This is a legend near our group of horses," Yamamura Cao looked serious and his tone of voice became ghastly. "It is said that in some villages close to the forest, children are always bewitched by the spirits in the mountains. Those children walked into the forest and could never come out. Later, an old man found a solution and asked the villagers to find a smart little girl as a sacrifice, so that the little girl could carry the hope of the village into the forest and become a girl. When walking in the forest, the girl's body will die little by little, and her soul will become stronger. Then, she will become a 'forest princess' living in the forest, protecting the children in the village from getting lost in the forest. inside……"

"This story..." Sera Masumi touched her chin with her right hand and thought seriously, "Isn't it an excuse made up by someone to abandon the little girl? That person took the child into the forest and threw it away, and then lied that the child was already dead. She turned into a forest princess...either the ignorant villagers performed human sacrifices and thought that the sacrifices would protect the village after death, or it was a little girl in ancient times who accidentally entered the forest and got lost. She died in the forest, and then the nearby villages encountered some natural disasters. People thought that the little girl’s soul was resentful, so they worshiped her as a ‘forest princess’.”

"In fact, I have heard the stories you mentioned. Regarding the story of the Forest Princess, each village has some differences. Some villages say it is an abominable sacrifice, and some villages think it is an abominable sacrifice. It’s an offering to appease resentment,” Yamamura Cao laughed, “But I believe what my grandma told me more, which is the version I just said! Because the current forest princess is not dead, she is still studying in Tokyo, and She is smarter than the average child, it must be because she has a strong soul!”

"He's talking about Haiyuan," Conan joked, somewhat dumbfounded. "Haiyuan, the forest princess, has a village of believers. The believers even made a statue of her and erected it in the forest."

But when it comes to Haiyuan's soul being powerful, this is true.

Huiyuan's soul is already eighteen years old, and his cognition and other aspects are much stronger than those of ordinary children. He can be considered a powerful soul...

"How could Xiao Ai be regarded as a forest princess?" Sera Masaki asked in confusion.

"Because she was sacrificed by Mr. Chi," Yamamura said seriously, "This is all to suppress the evil spirits in the forest!"

"Huh?" Sera Masumi looked at Yamamura Soo's serious look and reminded him wordlessly, "Please, you are a police officer. You don't really believe in such legends that have no scientific basis, do you?"

"But since I started worshiping the forest princess, my work has been going very smoothly. Every time I encounter a complicated incident, there will be a detective or something to help solve it!" Yamamura said confidently, and even took out his policeman ID, opened it and showed it to Sera Masumi, "And not long after, I will become a member of the police department!"

Shiliang Zhenjun: "..."

Could this idiot be promoted to the police department because the incidents he was responsible for were always solved by Mr. Chi, Conan and the others, so he was promoted?

If such a guy becomes the police force, will the people of Gunma County have a harder time than the people of other areas?

…

That night, after the dinner, Chi Feichi and others found a hotel nearby to stay.

When he went to the police station to take notes the next morning, Chi Feichi received the biscuits and incense sticks that Shan Cun Cao bought for Hai Yuan Ai, and readily agreed to Shan Cun Cao to bring them to Hai Yuan Ai.

Although Officer Yamamura was confused, he lay down when it was time to lie down, which gave the detectives room to play, allowing them to solve the incident early last night and complete the dinner party on time.

Such a cooperative person asked him to deliver something. Even if it was for his sister, even if it was for someone else, he would be happy to help deliver it.

After lunch, everyone returned to Tokyo except Kyogoku who went to Izu.

After two consecutive days of rain, Tokyo finally had a sunny day.

Chi Feichi returned to the Seven Detective Agency, and first sent an email to that person to tell him about the end of the party with his friends, and then called Haibara Ai to tell him about Yamamura Cao's gift, and then used a bottle to catch some of his venom. , I asked the golden eagle to be sent to Koizumi Hongzi, and I took the garden shears to the yard and trimmed the extra twigs on the elder tree trunk.

After Koshizui Nanatsuki finished cleaning the room, he went out and saw Wuming and two cats strolling to the wall. The legs of the three cats were all stained and their fur was stuck to them. He turned around and went back to the house, found a bathtub and put it in the yard. The basin was filled with warm water, ready to give the three cats a bath.

Chi Fei later saw that Yueshui Nanatsuki had put the water on the table. He turned to the three cats squatting on the wall and said, "Let's all take a bath."

"Meow~"

Wuming let out a sweet cry in his throat, acted cute, and took the lead to jump off the wall.

Under the watchful eye of Koshizu Nanatsuki, Wuming and the other two cats obediently walked into the bathtub.

Feichi also joined in the fun and jumped directly from Chi Feichi's shoulders into the tub.

"Everyone is so good!" Nanatsuki Koshizui praised him with a smile. He squatted beside the bathtub and started to wet all the fur on the three cats. "Be patient, I will wash it for you soon..."

When Fei Yingli walked into the yard, she immediately saw Chi Feichi pruning branches with her back to the door of the yard, and Nanatsuki Yuesui bathing three cats next to her. She smiled and joked, "It's really an enviable life!"

"Lawyer?" Koshimi Nanatsuki was a little surprised.

Chi Feichi put down the garden shears and turned around to greet Fei Yingli, "Master, why are you here?"

"I'm really sorry to disturb you," Fei Yingli walked up with a smile, "I'm going on a business trip for two days, and I just sent Goro to the Maori Detective Agency. Please Xiaolan to help me take care of him these two days, because I I am going to Fukuoka for my first business trip, which happens to be Nanatsuki’s hometown, so I came over to ask Nanatsuki if he needed my help in bringing back some local delicacies.”

"Thank you," Koshimizu Nanatsuki responded with a smile, "But I haven't finished the miso and ramen I brought back last time, and there's nothing I particularly want to eat for the time being..."

"Then I'll bring you some tea or cod roe," Fei Yingli raised her watch and looked at the time, smiling apologetically, "I booked a flight at four in the afternoon, and I have to leave for the airport now... By the way, Fei Chi, I would also like to trouble you to take care of Wu Lang’s place!”

"No problem," Chi Feichi agreed and asked proactively, "Do you need me to take you to the airport?"

"No, Miss Kuriyama will drive me to the airport, and then accompany me to Fukuoka. The car is parked outside now... You go ahead, I'll leave first!"

Fei Yingli came and went in a hurry, and after finishing speaking, she turned around and left the yard.

Koshimizu Nanatsuki squatted next to the bathtub again and applied cat bath liquid to the three cats. "Lawyer Fei's job is really hard. I'll sort out the high-quality and low-price shops in Fukuoka later and send them to them via email. Let her, if she has time, she can go try local delicacies with Miss Kuriyama..."

Chi Feichi continued to prune the branches until all the extra twigs were cut off. Then he put away the garden shears. He went to the yard to pick up a towel and waited for Qishui to wash away the foam on Feichi and the three cats. , stepped forward and used towels to help Fei Chi and the three cats dry the water on their bodies.

"Wow! Brother Chi, there are so many cats here!"

As soon as Yuantai, Guangyan and Ayumi entered the yard, their attention was attracted by the three cats and they quickly ran to Chi Feichi.

Haibara Ai and Conan fell behind and explained to Chi Feichi, "I came here to get the biscuits that Officer Yamamura asked you to bring to me. After discussing it, they decided to accompany me and we will go to Poirot Cafe together later. Look at the captain..."

"I didn't expect that Brother Chi would have three cats here!" Mitsuhiko smiled in surprise.

"Brother Chi, can we come to help?" Bumi looked at Chi Feichi expectantly and asked.

Chi Feichi put the towel in Bumi's hand, "Okay, just be careful to be gentle."

"Let me help too," Haiyuan Ai took a dry towel from the table and stepped forward to wipe the fur of the cow cat next to Wuming. "Although the weather is sunny today, if their fur is always wet, It may also cause them to catch colds or skin diseases, so it is better to dry the water on their fur as soon as possible.”

Fei Chi took a bath and swam by himself (there was a precedent of Chi Fei Chi letting him swim in the water before). Later, Chi Fei Chi helped him dry it and did not forget about it, but he didn't write about Fei Chi swimming in the water...
