Conan: I Am Not a Snake Spirit

"Then please take the shorter route," Haneda Hideyoshi said solemnly, "Sorry to trouble you!"

"Speaking of which, Mr. Haneda..." Koshimizu Nanatsuki sat in the passenger seat, holding his chin with his right hand, thinking, "The code mentioned, 'One of the seven shrines was attacked by thieves, and the palace The treasures were looted within two days. Is this a celebrity battle? The opponent used terms such as forbidden hands, chess players, and chess records. There was also a hint of "first game" printed on the password, which shows that the opponent's password is very likely. It is related to the chess game. Judging from the other party's behavior of kidnapping Police Officer Yumi and provoking you, the other party should be coming for you. Then, the chess records, or secret codes, mentioned by the other party may be related to shogi, and shogi's The rule is actually that both sides of the chess game compete for the 'jade' that represents the treasure. This is similar to the 'robbers attack and steal the treasure' mentioned in the code. If the other party's code refers to the shogi game, the treasure will be looted within two days. Ikong should refer to the competition time. Among the seven shogi title competitions, only the celebrity battle and the chess holy war will last for two days..."

"The code says that the treasures in the palace have been looted, which means that there is no 'jade' in the palace, that is, there is no 'king' that represents jade in shogi." Haneda Hideyoshi took over, "The 'sacred' character belt of the chess holy war There is the word "王", but there is no "王" in the celebrity battle, so I also think that the other party's two passwords refer to the celebrity battle I am participating in! In addition, the password also mentions a shrine, which is pronounced like "meijin". The same shrine is the Meiji Shrine in Tokyo!”

"That's why you rushed to Tokyo," Koshimizu Nanatsuki said clearly, and then asked, "Then, 'even the daughter of the god who was hiding in the well was taken away', this sentence is also What does it mean? Does this sentence have anything to do with shogi?”

"This sentence seems to have nothing to do with shogi," Haneda Hideyoshi looked at the photo in his hand and frowned, "I was wondering if the other party would ask me to find a well in Meiji Shrine. The clues are hidden in that well. , or some kind of female sculpture near the well..."

"Speaking of wells...could it mean Kiyomasa Well?" Nanatsuki Koshizui analyzed thoughtfully, "There is a Kiyomasa Well in Meiji Shrine. It is said that it was dug by Kato Kiyomasa, a subordinate of Toyotomi Hideyoshi. Well, someone recently took a photo of that well, which suddenly became popular. Many people regard that well as a place of prayer. In Meiji Shrine, this well should be related to you, right? , people like to call you 'Taiko Meimei' because your name is similar to Toyotomi Hideyoshi's former name, Hashiba Hideyoshi, right?"

"That's right!" Haneda Hideyoshi was a little excited, "The person who kidnapped Yumi came for me. When providing me with clues, the other party is likely to provide clues related to me. After we arrive at Meiji Shrine, we will go there first. Go check it out!”

"Buzz...buzz..."

Chi Feichi felt his phone vibrating, took it out, took a look at it, and handed it to Koshizu Nanatsuki, "This is the person in charge of the organizer of the Celebrity Title Battle, Koshimi, please help me put the call on speakerphone."

"good……"

Koshizui Nanatsuki took Chi Feichi's cell phone, chose to answer the call, and turned on the hands-free call.

"Mr. Chi, excuse me, I am Iwamatsu," the person in charge of the organizer said with a helpless tone, "I just heard at the door that Haneda Rokukan was going to Tokyo. I originally wanted to call him to confirm the situation, but his mobile phone was on I handed it to the hotel front desk before the game started. I couldn't contact him, so I had to call you..."

"He is in my car and listening to our phone calls," Chi Feichi said calmly, "If you want to confirm something with him, just ask."

"Is that so? Haneda Rokukan, can you hear me?" the person in charge asked quickly, "I just heard you say you were going to Tokyo. Is it true?"

"Yes," Haneda Hideyoshi thought and found an excuse, "Actually, I had a nightmare last night. I was a little restless early this morning and couldn't concentrate, so I wanted to go outside to relax..."

"Even if you want to relax, you don't have to go to Tokyo, right?" the person in charge reminded even more helplessly, "Tokyo is so far away from Shihe Hotel, and it will take at least three or four hours to go back and forth. You only have time to play chess now. It will take about six hours. If you keep going back and forth like this, you will waste a lot of time! "

Haneda Hideyoshi did not dare to tell others about the situation, so he could only say vaguely, "But I just want to go to Tokyo."

Person in charge: "..."

(-;)

Hey, hey, he left his opponents, referees, and reporters and ran away during the game. The reason was that he really wanted to go to Tokyo. Isn't this too willful?

Haneda Hideyoshi: "..."

The sudden silence of the person in charge seemed to be full of accusations against him, which really made people feel so guilty that they didn’t know what to say...

"Well..." Koshimizu Nanatsuki broke the eerie silence, "Mr. Iwamatsu, although Tokyo is far away and it takes a lot of time to get back and forth, but I think the most important thing is for Mr. Haneda to adjust his condition. What do you think? ?”

"That's right..." The person in charge still sounded helpless, "Okay, then when will Haneda's sixth championship come back? After he left, the TV station paused the live broadcast and asked the program team to insert advertisements first. If He wants to go to Tokyo and may not be able to come back in an hour or two. In that case, the TV station may need to insert other programs first..."

"I probably won't be able to go back in an hour or two," Haneda Hideyoshi said, "Let the TV station broadcast other programs. I'm so sorry to bother everyone."

"No, don't say that..." The person in charge paused, then quickly cheered up and encouraged, "Then please adjust your state! Oh, by the way, the celebrity wants me to ask, is your sudden departure related to the new tactics?"

Hana Hideyoshi didn't expect the current celebrity to associate it with the new tactics. He was stunned for a moment, but still felt that he couldn't mislead the celebrity, and said awkwardly, "It has nothing to do with tactics, it's just that I'm not in a good state... Sorry..."

"It's okay," the person in charge was silent for a moment, and then smiled after the person on the other end finished speaking, "The celebrity said that he will wait for you to come back to continue the game!"

"Thank you!"

Haneda Hideyoshi thanked him sincerely, but did not promise that he would definitely go back. After Nanatsuki Koshimi hung up the phone, he looked at Chi Feichi in the front seat and said firmly, "Mr. Chi, I know you really want to see me win the game with that tactic, but I hope you can understand that I will not rush back to participate in the game before rescuing Yumi, even if I lose the game because of this. I hope you can understand that when I saw this letter, I was ready to give up the game. Get ready! ..."

"Then why don't you just give up the game..." said Nanatsuki Koshimi, and quickly realized, "Are you worried that giving up the game will cause your chess time to be reset to zero, so you asked for a long time to think instead of giving up the game directly? The kidnapper mentioned in the letter that he would wait until your time was up. If you give up the game directly, he might think that your time has run out and attack Officer Yumi in advance..."

"Yes, that's what I'm worried about," Haneda Hideyoshi said with a hint of worry in his eyes, but more of determination, "I asked for a long time to think just to stabilize the opponent!"

"I We will do our best," Chi Feichi drove ahead, looking at the road ahead, "If we can rescue Officer Miyamoto and let you participate in the competition, that would be the best, but if there is no time to come back, there is nothing we can do. People are definitely more important than the shogi competition."

Haneda Hideyoshi saw Chi Feichi supporting him, and felt a little comforted in his heart, and his tense face relaxed. He found that Chi Feichi drove into a winding mountain road and asked, "Is this the road you mentioned?"

"Yes, I'm going to speed up, you fasten your seat belts."

After Chi Feichi finished speaking, he stepped on the accelerator and increased the already fast speed again.

The car hummed and accelerated in the lane, and Haneda Hideyoshi quickly pulled the seat belt and fastened it.

Koshimizu Nanatsuki had fastened his seat belt long ago, watching the scenery outside the car window turn into a fleeting line, feeling the horror of the speed, silently checked the seat belt, and looked at the seat belt on Chi Feichi.

There were indeed not many vehicles on this winding mountain road. The red Lexus SC rushed to the bend unimpeded, drifted past with a "squeak", and rushed to the next bend without slowing down much.

When the car turned, Haneda Hideyoshi's body fell uncontrollably to the side of the car. Fortunately, the seat belt helped to stabilize his body and he was not thrown onto the door. However, just after he sat firmly for a while and the dizziness had not disappeared, his body was thrown to the side of the car again.

"Squeak--"

The car turned smoothly again and rushed forward.

After turning several times, Haneda Hideyoshi was thrown dizzy, holding the seat belt tightly with both hands, and his face was dazed.

I really want to tell Yumi... He saw heaven at this moment.
