Conan: I Am Not a Snake Spirit

"So this is the Chi family's villa..."

The three children sat in a row with Conan and Huiyuan Ai. When they heard Huiyuan Ai say this, their eyes lit up and they looked at the living room environment again.

"To be precise, this is the house my grandparents prepared for my mother. It belongs to my mother," Chi Feichi introduced. "When my grandparents were still alive, they would occasionally come to Japan from the UK to visit my mother. At that time, my mother would come here to stay with them for a few days. But after they passed away, my mother rarely came here."

The three children were still looking around.

"So that's how it is..."

"Some time ago, Mr. Shinosuke and Mrs. Kana went to China. They ordered a batch of fresh bamboo shoots and bamboo for Tuanzi, and also bought a lot of souvenirs and special foods and had them sent to Japan," Nanatsuki Koshimizu said to the five children of the Junior Detective Team with a smile, "The transport team arrived in Japan yesterday. Mr. Shinosuke and Mrs. Kana wanted to put the souvenirs in the collection room here, so Mr. Chi came here this afternoon to sign for and count the items. It happened that the doctor was looking for a treasure hiding place, so he suggested that the doctor choose the treasure hiding place here..."

"Everyone can stay here for dinner tonight," Chi Feichi said, "Let's try the special foods that my parents asked people to bring back."

"Is there eel rice?" Yuan Tai asked expectantly.

Mitsuhiko smiled and reminded, "Yuanta, there shouldn't be eel rice in Chinese specialties, right?"

"They went to China just in time for the Spring Festival, and they seemed to have bought some rice cakes, spring rolls and other foods," Chi Feichi turned his head and looked at the box next to the stairs, "I haven't opened the box yet, so I don't know what's inside, but there shouldn't be eel."

Yuanta sighed regretfully, "Is that so..."

Ayumi smiled and said, "Yuanta, you usually eat a lot of eel rice, try Chinese cuisine today!"

Yuanta had a greedy expression on his face, swallowed his saliva, "Chinese cuisine is not bad ..."

"I have arranged for the servant to pick up the chef," Chi Feichi said calmly, "The chef will prepare a dinner menu first, you can tell the chef what you want to eat."

Yuan Tai was confused for a moment, "It turns out that it is not Brother Chi who cooks..."

"I still have to count the souvenirs," Chi Feichi stood up from the sofa, "Cooking can only be left to the chef."

"Can we also take a look?" Ayumi asked expectantly, "Those souvenirs brought back from China..."

"Of course."

Chi Feichi readily agreed and led the way to the collection room on the second floor.

There is more than one collection room on the second floor of this house. In order to place the souvenirs sent back from China by the Chi family couple this time, the servants cleaned up a collection room specifically for displaying Chinese souvenirs.

When Chi Feichi led people to the second floor, the family servants were busy going in and out of the collection room, and the corridor was full of boxes. Some servants were responsible for unpacking the boxes and taking things out of the boxes, some servants were wiping the cabinets in the collection room, and some servants were responsible for sending things to the collection room and placing them.

The housekeeper here stood by and gave orders. When he saw Chi Feichi bringing people over, he immediately came forward to greet them.

Chi Feichi asked the housekeeper to arrange a servant to wait for Dr. Agasa downstairs, and he took Nanatsuki Koshimizu, Subaru Okiya and the Junior Detective Team into the collection room.

There were already many Chinese souvenirs in the collection room, and the things occupied three large display cabinets against the wall.

One of the display cabinets contained giant panda peripherals donated by the giant panda breeding base, including but not limited to plush dolls, backpacks, and ornaments of various materials, each of which was exquisitely crafted.

The second display cabinet was filled with Chinese opera masks. Masks of various colors filled the exhibition stands, with strong colors and expressions of joy or anger. Under the lighting in the cabinet, a mysterious and majestic cultural color was revealed.

The third display cabinet was filled with a large number of exquisite embroidery, including traditional Chinese dragon and phoenix embroidery, as well as small embroidery with peony, mandarin duck, peacock, lotus and other patterns. Chi Feichi did not understand embroidery skills, but just by looking at those lifelike embroidery pictures, he knew that these things were definitely worth a lot of money.

When Chi Feichi took others to see the exhibits, the servants had also arranged most of the fourth display cabinet.

The display cabinet was filled with hand-carved ivory chess, fine pens, inkstones, paper and inkstones worth collecting, a full set of purple clay teapots and tea sets, and Spring Festival paper-cutting albums. When Chi Feichi turned his head to look over, a servant just put a peach wood sword into the cabinet.

Chi Feichi: "..."

He suddenly became a little curious about what the Chi family had experienced in China during this period of time. Not only did they frantically purchase so many souvenirs, but they even bought back the peach wood sword?

Although the peach wood sword is also a characteristic item in Chinese traditional culture, the material of this peach wood sword looks good, and there is nothing wrong with it as a collection, but he still feels a little subtle when he sees the peach wood sword in the collection...

The next second, two servants came in with the Bagua mirror and the copper gourd, and carefully placed the things next to the peach wood sword.

Chi Feichi turned his head and looked at the housekeeper outside the door, "Mr. Yuedian, show me the collection list."

"Okay, young master!"

The housekeeper immediately walked into the collection room and respectfully handed the list in his hand to Chi Feichi.

Chi Feichi took the collection list and looked down.

This collection list records the name, provenance, and precautions for collection of this collection. He had only read the first few pages before. Since the young detective team was about to arrive, he handed the collection list to the butler Yue Dian and Taro, and asked Yue to Towataro helped him check the collection and went downstairs without reading the list of collections.

Now take a look...

There are some really weird things.

While Chi Feichi was looking through the roster, two servants worked together to carry a large stove into the house.

Genta, Ayumi, and Mitsuhiko saw the large stove over one meter high and immediately surrounded it.

"What is this?"

"UFO?"

"Is it a lid on top? It looks so cool!"

The big stove looked familiar to Chi Feichi, but he was not sure if it was what he had thought of. He flipped through the collection list several pages. After seeing the picture of the stove and the corresponding name, he confirmed his suspicion, "This It’s...a roast duck oven.”

"Roast duck oven?" Conan was a little confused.

Chi Feichi raised his eyes and watched the servant put the big stove in the corner. He really didn't know what expression to use when facing this stove, "It's the stove for making roast duck."

Compared with this roast duck stove, peach wood swords and Bagua mirrors are much more normal as collectibles.

"In other words, can it be used to make roast duck?"

The three children are quite interested in the roast duck stove.

"So you need such a big stove to make roast duck?"

"Can we use it to make roast duck..."

Chi Feichi looked down at the collection list again and confirmed that the list said 'Collection, it is recommended to put it in the corner of the collection room', not 'Kitchen utensils, it is recommended to put it in the kitchen'.

With the impact of the roast duck oven, Chi Feichi no longer felt weird looking at other collections. After reading the list of collections, he heard that Dr. A Li had arrived, so he handed the list to the housekeeper and asked the housekeeper to continue checking the collections. , set out to receive Dr. A Li downstairs.

Since the remaining collections had not yet been displayed, the Young Detective Team, Nanatsuki Koshimizu and Subaru Okiya did not stay in the collection room to visit. They and Chi Fei arrived late in the living room downstairs to meet Dr. Agasa.
