Conan: I Am Not a Snake Spirit

Chapter 3631 Kamaita Hotel

At noon that day, a group of people went to Poirot Café for a quick meal.

In Poirot Cafe, Azusa Enomoto was the only one looking after the store. According to Azusa Enomoto, Toru Amuro took half a day off in advance, helped Azusa prepare food and ingredients in the morning and left the store. In recent days, Toru Amuro seemed to have received I have been entrusted with something, and I have been very busy.

While others were talking, Chi Feichi remained silent, finished his portion of food, and called someone to arrange a car suitable for entering the mountain.

When the vehicle arranged by Ike Feichi arrived outside, Mouri Kogoro took the initiative to take over the driving task and drove a group of people to the mountains of Nagano Prefecture and found the hotel Hattori Heiji mentioned.

This hotel is called 'Ryokan Ryokan'. It is located on a snow-covered mountain and covers a large area. There are several Japanese-style buildings in front and behind that are merged into one hotel. It looks very grand.

Hattori Heiji reserved a suite in advance, planning to let the two girls Maori Lan, Toyama and Ye live in the small bedroom in the suite, while he, Chi Feichi, Maori Kogoro, and Conan lived in the large bedroom.

After the hotel proprietress registered a group of people at the front desk, she took a group of people to see restaurants and other public places, and then took six people to check in their rooms.

Mouri Kogoro kept looking around all the way. When he got to the room, he looked at Hattori Heiji with a suspicious look on his face. "I said, are there really college girls here coming here for vacation and bathing in hot springs? Don't talk about college girls along the way. No young girls have seen it... No, it should be said that there are not many guests in this hotel at all, right? "

"Dad, please stop talking!" Seeing the embarrassed look on the landlady's face, Mao Lilan quickly grabbed Maori Kogoro and smiled at the landlady, "I'm sorry, what my father means is that the environment of your hotel is so good and the price is so good. It's fair, it's not full, which makes him a little surprised..."

"It's okay," the landlady felt Mao Lilan's kindness, and responded with a gentle smile, "This gentleman is right. We don't have many guests in the hotel, but please don't worry, we have not neglected to take care of the guests' bedrooms, Cleaning and maintaining indoor public facilities, I hope you can have fun here! ”

Chi Feichi walked into the room, "I think it's better to be cleaner like this. There won't be many people crowded in the hot spring."

Conan laughed in his heart and followed Chi Feichi into the room.

Anyway, one of Uncle Kogoro and Brother Chi must be dissatisfied. Let's let him down this time. I hope he won't be deceived so easily next time.

Toyama Kazuye and Mao Lilan also walked into the room.

“The room looks very nice, and there is a big window with a view of the snow!”

"It's very clean inside... Dad, come in and take a look. The environment here is really good!"

Hattori Heiji saw Mouri Kogoro entering the door with a speechless expression, and followed him with a smile.

They are all here. Even if the uncle finds out that he has been deceived, he can only live in peace now~

…

After a group of people looked at the room and made the beds, they went to the restaurant to have dinner.

This hotel can serve breakfast, lunch, and dinner for guests. You only need to indicate the number of people when checking in or making a reservation, and then pay a moderate meal fee, and you can eat in the restaurant during meal time.

Probably because the hotel is not in the city and it is inconvenient to purchase ingredients. In addition, there is only one chef in the hotel and the food he can cook is limited. Therefore, the store does not accept guests' designated meals and only provides home-cooked food made by the chef himself.

Of course, if a guest really wants to eat a certain kind of food, he or she can also add money and ask the hotel waiter to buy it in the city.

It was the first time for Chi Feichi and his party to stay in this hotel, and they were happy to try the skills of the hotel chef. The chef did not disappoint the group. Although the 'parent-child rice' he made looked ordinary, the eggs inside were slippery. The chicken is tender and fragrant, and the overall taste is not bad.

In addition, the hotel also provides guests with ginger juice and arrowroot soup to dispel cold for free. After eating a 'parent-child rice' with chicken and egg dumplings, and drinking a bowl of warm soup to dispel cold, as long as the guests do not pursue high-end food, such a Dinner wasn't bad either.

Mao Lilan drank ginger juice and arrowroot soup after the meal and said with emotion, "This arrowroot soup is delicious. The ginger in it is very rich. I feel warm all over after drinking it!"

"Right?" Toyama and Ye smiled, "The magazine I read mentioned that the arrowroot soup in this hotel is very delicious and is one of the specialties of the hotel!"

"Then what?" Mouri Kogoro glanced at Hattori Heiji, "You don't hesitate to lie and say that there are young girls coming here to patronize, but you also want to call me, a famous detective, to a mountain hotel like this, just to bring me here to drink. Plant something slimy?”

"Wouldn't it be nice for everyone to drink arrowroot soup together?" Hattori Heiji said with a smile, "The scenery here is also nice..."

Seeing that Hattori Heiji was still talking about him, Conan said speechlessly, "Did something happen?"

"Yeah, first of all..." Hattori Heiji didn't try to be pretentious anymore. He took out a photo from his coat pocket, held it up in front of him, and showed it to others, "Please look at this photo first!"

The background of the photo is an outdoor hot spring. The edge of the hot spring pool is covered with white snow and the water is steaming. A black figure is running on the hot spring pool. The black figure seems to be carrying a sickle on its back.

The photo was taken at night, and the light was dim, so the specific appearance of the black shadow was not captured clearly. The part behind the feet looked like the hem of clothes and a furry tail, which looked a bit weird.

Chi Feichi looked up at the photo, then quickly retracted his gaze and continued to drink his bowl of kudzu powder soup.

It was indeed the incident in "Kamaitachi Inn"...

"What? Is this a person?" Maori Kogoro looked at the shadow in the photo, "No, it looks like an animal..."

Mauri Ran was a little scared, "This shadow looks a bit scary."

Hattori Heiji put the photo on the table, pointed at the back of the shadow in the photo, and reminded, "Look carefully, the thing on his back! Doesn't it look like a sickle? Speaking of animals with sickles, there is only the legendary Kamaitachi, a monster that appears in a whirlwind and can instantly disembowel people, right?"

Mauri Kogoro and Maori Ran's faces changed drastically.

"Kama, Kamaitachi?!"

"But, doesn't the legendary Kamaitachi have a claw that looks like a sickle?" Conan looked at the photo speechlessly, "This looks like a person carrying a sickle, right? Compared to Kamaitachi..."

Mouri Kogoro put away the surprised expression on his face and said thoughtfully, "It looks more like a bounty hunter..."

"Oh, right," Maori Ran's eyes lit up, "Nanyue seems to have a sickle as a weapon, because she also wears a black cloak and a white mask, so some people say that Nanyue looks like the god of death!"

Conan secretly glanced at Chi Feichi and found that Chi Feichi was drinking soup with a cold face. He smiled helplessly, "But there is no reason for Nanyue to carry a sickle to the hot spring, right?"

"Who knows," Maori Kogoro lost interest in the photo , holding up the soup bowl, he said, "Maybe there is some dangerous criminal lurking near the hot spring pool, and that guy was attracted here!"

"But the shadow in this photo doesn't look like a human at all! The background of this photo is the open-air hot spring of this hotel. The reporter who published this photo took another photo from the same angle not long after taking this photo," Hattori Heiji took out another photo from his pocket and put the two photos together, "In the latter photo, the hot spring water has flooded the abdomen of an adult male, but in the photo with the black shadow, the black shadow looks like it is running over the hot spring water. If you look closely, there are splashes of water under the feet of the black shadow. Humans shouldn't be able to run over the water like this, right?"

Conan frowned and looked at the photo.

It is indeed difficult for humans to do this...

"Brother Feichi, how is it?" Seeing that Conan, Maori Kogoro, and Maori Ran were all attracted by the photo, Hattori Heiji turned around and asked Chi Feichi expectantly, "Is the matter I mentioned worth investigating? Looking at this photo, have you ever thought of finding out the truth?"

"No," Chi Feichi glanced at the photo on the table again, and was more certain that he was not interested in this incident. He put the bowl on the table with a cold reaction, "But their kudzu powder soup is good."

Hattori Heiji: "..."

("￣￣)

Hey, they have already talked about the monster incident in this hotel, why is Brother Feichi still thinking about kudzu powder soup...

And he said that he was not interested in the strange incident he mentioned, which is too discouraging!

"Also, if you have nothing else to do," Chi Feichi stood up and left his seat, "I want to go back to the room to change clothes, and then go to the hot spring."

Hattori Heiji was stunned for a moment, then stood up, "But..."
