Conan: I Am Not a Snake Spirit

Chapter 3635 The Lost Foodstuffs

The proprietress immediately led the way through the corridor to the open-air hot spring between the main building and the annex.

The open-air hot spring was full of warm hot spring water. If a group of people walked through the hot spring pool, they would inevitably get their clothes wet and catch a cold in such a cold weather. The narrow sides of the pool made it difficult for people to walk.

In addition, the corridor leading to the annex was under repair recently and could not be passed, so the group of people could only consider going to the annex from another way.

The proprietress thought about it and decided to take a group of people out, go around the hotel half a circle to the back door, and then go to the annex from the back door.

Since Maori Ran, Toyama Kazuha, and Ono Kohei had just been frightened, Maori Kogoro asked the two girls to take Ono Kohei and others to the hotel room.

When the detective team took action, Chi Feichi also left behind the detective team. However, after walking out of the hotel gate, he secretly left the team while others were not paying attention. He quickly climbed over the wall, climbed over the roof of the hotel, crossed the snow-covered roof, and reached the eaves in front of the open-air hot spring.

"Master?"

It was still snowing heavily in the sky. As soon as Feichi showed his head out of Chi Feichi's collar, he shivered and retracted his head.

"Watch carefully," Chi Feichi looked at the annex not far away, squatted on the roof, looked at the open-air hot spring pool below, and reminded, "The sickle weasel is coming out."

Feichi didn't care about the cold wind freezing his head, and immediately stuck his head out, stretched his neck to look at the hot spring pool below.

Xiao Liulu didn't let Feichi wait for long. Soon, he appeared at the hot spring pool with a sickle more than one meter long, stepped barefoot on the hot spring water, ran quickly over the hot spring pool, passed through the unlocked door, and entered the annex.

"Could it be that Miss Xiao Liu is a sickle weasel..." Fei Chi was surprised to see Xiao Liulu's figure disappear behind the door, and quickly reacted, "No, if she is a sickle weasel, why would she be cut on the face in the warehouse? So all this is a conspiracy designed by her, she is not a sickle weasel at all, right?"

"Really smart." Chi Feichi praised Fei Chi, but his face was frozen by the cold wind, and his calm tone made the praise seem less sincere.

Fei Chi believed that his master would not be so yin and yang to him, so he sighed, slowly retracted his almost frozen head back to Chi Feichi's collar, and said sadly, "Master, we don't seem to have sickle weasels to eat..."

"There are no sickle weasels, but all the baits that lure sickle weasels can be yours." Chi Feichi comforted his pet, stood up, and walked along the roof towards the back door.

Fei Chi felt a little more comforted, "That's right, we still have six frogs and six mice, enough for me to eat for several meals!"

"Ah!"

The old man's low and rapid cry of pain came from the annex, and the cold wind whistled, and the sound quickly dissipated in the cold wind.

"Master, I seem to hear someone screaming..."

"The old man was killed by Miss Xiao Liu."

"Humans are really complicated. They have to make so many dramas to kill each other. But why can Miss Xiao Liu run over the hot spring water with a sickle? Is there a glass box in the hot spring water? No, Mr. Maori just threw a stone in to confirm it. The stone sank very quickly. There shouldn't be a box in the water..."

"It's kudzu powder. Miss Xiao Liu poured a lot of kudzu powder into the hot spring, making the hot spring water have a sand-like texture. If she ran fast enough, her body would not sink. In order to make today's plan successful, she may have practiced several times before, so the reporter took the photo of the sickle weasel. "

"So that's it..."

When Chi Feichi arrived near the back door, he stopped and saw the hotel proprietress, Hattori Heiji, Maori Kogoro, Conan, Naka Yamada Satoru, and Yamamura So walked through the back door quickly, then walked from the roof to the wall next to the back door, and then climbed down from the wall, sweeping off the snow on his head and shoulders, and followed the team to the entrance of the annex.

When the detective team opened the door, they saw the body of the proprietress and her father-in-law with a giant sickle stuck in his chest.

While the group of people were attracted by the corpse, Xiao Liulu quickly mixed into the back of the team, "Anyway, let's call an ambulance first!"

"There's no need for that," Maori Kogoro squatted beside the corpse, looking solemn, "He's dead, the body is still warm, and the time of death should be less than 30 minutes..."

Chi Feichi did not expose Xiao Liulu. When the detective team and Yamamura Cao were investigating inside and outside the house, he took out a cigarette box from his yukata pocket, went to the yard to smoke a cigarette, and walked back and forth along the wall twice, destroying the footprints he left when he climbed over the wall.

The detective team and Yamamura Cao investigated inside and outside the annex. After Yamamura Cao called his colleagues to take over the scene, a group of people returned to the main building of the hotel.

Mauri Ran and Yuanshan Heye were scared before, but now they became indignant and took the initiative to find Chi Feichi.

"Brother Feichi, let's go catch the sickle itachi together!"

"Yes, we must catch it!"

Hattori Heiji was a little surprised, "Hey, hey, what are you two doing..."

"Heiji, we have heard from Officer Yamamura," Toyama Kazuha turned to look at Yamamura Cao at the door, and said to Hattori Heiji seriously, "An old man has been killed!"

Hattori Heiji was even more confused about the two girls' train of thought, "But someone has been killed, don't you feel scared?"

Conan looked at Mao Li Ran in confusion.

Xiao Ran is not afraid at all? Is this still Xiao Ran?

"Kamaita either scares women and children, or attacks the elderly," Mao Lilan frowned angrily, "Brother Fei Chi has obviously said bad things about it, but it doesn't dare to appear in front of Brother Fei Chi at all. That guy is simply bullying the weak and afraid of the strong. , He only bullies the weak!"

"What Brother Fei Chi said before is right," Toyama Kazuye clenched his fists firmly, "Humans can definitely defeat Kama Itachi. If they can't, it only means that that person is not strong enough..."

"There are three of us plus Brother Fei Chi. I think we can give it a try." Mao Lilan also showed a determined look, "If that guy dares to show up, we will catch him!"

Conan: "..."

(▽)

It turns out that it was Brother Chi who gave Xiaolan and Heye the courage.

Hattori Heiji: "..."

However, as long as it can make Heye and Xiaolan less afraid, it doesn't seem like a bad thing for the two of them to think so?

Chi Feichi had no intention of participating in the investigation and started to walk to the side of the main building, "Then let's go to the corridor to drink tea."

After Mao Lilan, Yuanshan and Ye followed Chi Feichi, the detective team sent Zhongan Taiwu and Xiao Liulu to follow Chi Feichi to drink tea on the grounds of 'not to hinder the investigation'.

Chi Feichi had no intention of taking care of others, and naturally he didn't care if there were a few more people around him. He returned to the tea stove, poured out the cold tea in the teapot, and made another pot of hot tea. Out of courtesy, he gave it to everyone. Everyone poured a cup of hot tea.

Xiao Liulu had not forgotten that she and Chi Feichi had an unpleasant quarrel before. Naturally, she did not expect Chi Feichi to pour tea for her. Unexpectedly, Chi Feichi poured a cup of tea without changing her expression and put it in front of her. She was a little surprised. For a moment, "Ah, thank you..."

"That's great!" Nakamata Satoru smiled, "Although it's the first day we met, it's better to get along well together than to quarrel, right?"

"I didn't want to quarrel," Xiao Liulu showed an embarrassed look on her face and explained in a soft voice, "It's just that I was injured earlier and I wasn't in a good mood, so I said that..."

Chi Feichi was not in the mood to be hypocritically polite to Muggles, nor did he follow the topic and say things like, 'It doesn't matter, I'm not right either'. He picked up the teacup and drank tea silently.

Seeing that Chi Feichi was not polite as usual, Zhongnan Taiwu smiled and talked to Chi Feichi with a smile in order to prevent the atmosphere from becoming tense again, "By the way, did Mr. Chi feel uncomfortable in any way when he was having dinner in the restaurant? After you had dinner, you went back to rest first. I was calling the publishing house near you and happened to notice your conversation..."

"I've been like this for the past two days," Chi Feichi gave the same old excuse. "Maybe it's because I was too tired from work the past few days."

"Brother Fei Chi's mental state was not very good before," Mao Lilan helped explain. "The doctor also asked him to get more rest, but he has work to do, and there is nothing we can do..."

"No matter what, brother Fei Chi, you must pay attention to rest," Yuan Shan and Ye Zhengse advised, "You must listen to the doctor!"

"I understand," Chi Feichi said, "Didn't I go out with you to relax?"

"That's right..." Yuan Shan and Ye's expressions softened for less than a second before becoming helpless again, "But we encountered such a thing when we went out, and someone was killed. It seems that the purpose of relaxing is not achieved... "

Chi Feichi didn't think the incident would affect his holiday mood. He lowered his eyes and looked at the blazing fire and asked, "Do you want to eat roasted sweet potatoes?"

Mao Lilan, Yuan Shan and Ye swallowed their saliva as they thought of the smell of roasted sweet potatoes.

That...if possible...

"If you want to eat, could you please go to the kitchen and ask?" Chi Fei belatedly saw that the two girls were about to move, and reminded him, "If you don't have sweet potatoes, meat, vegetables or anything else will do. Bring seasoning by the way." Bring the ingredients, I'll marinate and season them, let the kitchen write down the cost, and I'll settle the bill tomorrow morning."
