Conan: I Am Not a Snake Spirit

On the shore, a young man in black sat on a large rock, looking at the gloomy sea in the distance.

A flock of seagulls hovered nearby, and from time to time one or two flew over from a distance, singing and landing beside the man.

"I guess it won't rain."

"No one was found there? It doesn't matter."

"I don't have a suitable place for you to live in."

"Yes, on the big island on the other side of the sea..."

"Have you been living here?"

"Come here when it's cold?"

"Has a man in black with long silver hair been here before?"

"Well...he really doesn't look like a good guy."

"that time……"

The man's expression was cold, and he looked at the drowsy sea with no emotion in his eyes. He whispered softly... like a snake maniac muttering to himself in the sea.

Another seagull flew over, landed beside Chi Feichi, and blew twice.

"Found it? Where's the bug and transmitter?"

The seagulls sang with a long voice, which looked a little strange in the gloom.

Chi Feichi took the laptop from the side, put it on his lap, and turned it on.

At the same time, he dialed the phone with his mobile phone.

"It's me, I'm here."

On the other side of the phone, Qin Jiu directly asked, "Did you find the person?"

"I found it. I brought an assistant. Both of them wore masks, scarves, and fake beards. It was really not easy to find." Chi Feichi held the phone in his left hand, and connected a long box-shaped monitoring device to the On the computer, he controls the laptop to open a software, "The transmitter has already been put in his travel bag. In addition, I have taped a bug on the window of his room. For the specific bugging situation, I will use the software in the computer. Automatically record it, and then upload it to you from the Internet..."

There was silence on the phone for a while, and there was a faint sound of typing on the keyboard.

"I saw it, please excuse me."

"fine."

After hanging up the phone, Chi Feichi also used the computer to play the sound from the bug.

"Mr. Gibbon, if other people find out, I'm afraid they will say that you are too superstitious..."

"That's just an attack method of the opponent. Don't take it to heart. If others find out, they will say that we are here to investigate the environment of the American island and plan to invest in a school here. What does the shrine say?"

"Ms. Miko said that they will not sell dugong arrows privately. Please draw according to the rules. If you don't win, you can buy them from the winners. Mr. Gibbon, in fact, even if you give the dugong arrows to Mr. Mitsui, he My body may not get better..."

"Whether it's useful or not, as long as he sees my intentions..."

Chi Feichi pressed to pause playback, but the recording continued.

Looking at it this way, Yoshimoto Rongyou came to Mermaid Island to please someone, and wanted to get a dugong arrow.

As for why he acted secretly without telling the organization, he couldn't judge. Maybe he felt that his wings were stiff and wanted to fly away from the organization. Whether he needed to be cleared was up to Qin Jiu to judge, and he didn't need to worry about it.

I checked the battery level and it's 99%.

This laptop was assembled with the help of Dr. A Li, and its battery life has also been improved. Although the recording and transmission software running in the background consumes a lot of power, it can last for about five or six hours.

Chi Feichi sat and talked with Seagull for a while, and not long after, he received another call from Hattori Heiji.

"Brother Feichi, people in the village say that Saori Kadowaki disappeared three days ago. Some people in the village say that she may have gone to the island by boat, but if the letter of appeal for help is not a prank, she may be in danger. Now we are going to go to the specialty store where she works on the corner of the street, if you want to come over, you can just go here."

"Oh, I see."

Chi Feichi hung up the phone, got up and put the computer in his bag, and said to a group of seagulls, "I'm going back first."

Seagulls without spirituality accounted for the majority, and they didn't respond when they spoke, they just called out to their companions.

But a seagull flaps its wings and begins a nasty spoiler.

"By the way, the Longevity Woman on the island is disguised by Miss Miko. That festival is useless at all!"

"No, no, the former Longevity Lady was pretended by Miss Miko's mother..."

"Miss Witch's mother was killed by her friends. Her friends thought that Longevity Woman was real. They went crazy for longevity and wanted to attack her mother. As a result, her mother was locked in a warehouse and burned to death."

"Yes, that was also three years ago. There was a big fire in the warehouse. We all went over and watched secretly..."

Chi Feichi: "..."

Originally, he remembered this case and lacked interest in the investigation, but the group of seagulls wanted to remind him...

Nasty spoilers.

...

Before meeting the others, Chi Feichi went to Kadowaki Saori's house.

If you actively agreed to come here before, and then become a salted fish after coming here, you will be suspected by Conan and Hattori Heiji that you came here for something else.

So no matter how uninterested in the investigation, he had to put on a show.

There was a knock on the door, and the man who opened the door smelled of alcohol, stared at Chi Feichi with blushing eyes and narrowed his eyes, as if trying to identify him, and said after a while, "Who are you? It can't be the man that the wild girl Saori was looking for outside. Bar?"

"Hi, I'm just a friend she met in Tokyo," Chi Feichi handed over the wine he bought, and said indifferently, "This time I'm here to participate in the festival at Mermaid Island, and I want to visit her by the way, is she at home?" ?”

Kadowaki Benzo felt a bit frozen by the air-conditioning, sobered up a lot, looked at the wine in his hand, and was about to enthusiastically pull Chi Feichi in, but raised his eyes, and saw that Chi Feichi was dressed in black, with a demeanor The silence was gloomy, so she gave up, stepped aside at the door, and said with a smile, "Please come in and have a seat, that child Saori is not at home, she left the house four or five days ago and hasn't come back yet, but I think she will be home soon It's..."

Chi Feichi stared at Kadowaki Benzo, "Do you know where she went?"

Hearing Chi Feichi's polite words, Kadowaki Benzo still felt quite cold around him, and said with a dry smile, "I don't know, she can't stay with this child since she was a child, and she likes to run around..."

Chi Feichi glanced at the room, the curtains were drawn, it was very dark, the floor was a little messy, and there was a strong smell of tobacco and alcohol, "Since she's not here, I'll come visit tomorrow."

Seeing the other party turn around and leave, Kadowaki Benzo was stunned for a moment, and then he didn't know whether to regret it or to breathe a sigh of relief.

Forget it, it's fine to leave, he went to drink.

After Chi Feichi left, he inquired about Kadowaki Saori's situation with the people around him, and after receiving a call from Hattori Heiji, he went to the shrine to meet a group of people.

After Ike Feichi entered the shrine, he saw Hattori Heiji and his party standing with the girl in the maiden costume at a glance, and walked over.

"What is the age of my grandma?" Miko Shimabukuro Junhui held in her hand the royal coin that the maiden used for prayer and cleaning, her voice was gentle and serious, "Actually, no one said 200 years old, she just turned 130 this year, as long as you go to You can find out from the household registration office, she just lived a little longer than others, and she caused such a big commotion."

"Of course..." Mao Lilanhan.

Mori Kogoro also sweated, "To be able to live to 130 years old is already a sensational thing..."

Chi Feichi walked behind them and asked aloud, "Are you investigating or gossiping?"

"Uh, Brother Feichi, you're here..." Hattori Heiji broke into a sweat, and forced his defense, "The investigation should be done step by step!"

"That..." Yuan Shan and Ye couldn't help asking, "Where's your grandma?"

Shimabukuro Junhui looked at Chi Feichi curiously, and then said to Yuan Shan and Ye, "She is in the room now, preparing to impart magic power to the three arrows that will be given to others later."

"Then, did that old lady really eat mermaid meat?" Mori Kogoro couldn't help but approached and asked.

Hattori Heiji had black lines all over his head: "..."

Well, he admitted that Chi Feichi wasn't talking nonsense, so they still seemed to be gossiping...

"Huh?" Shimabukuro Junhui was taken aback for a moment, and then burst out laughing, "Hahahahaha...how could there be mermaids in this world...that's a lie!"

"Huh?" Mori Kogoro was dumbfounded by Shimabukuro Junhui's smile, "But, but 'Dugong's Arrow'..."

Junhui Shimabukuro stopped laughing, and explained seriously, "My deceased mother said that the arrow was supposed to represent the arrow of the forbidden curse that exorcised evil spirits. People associated it with the mermaid, changed it into a dugong living in the sea without authorization, and passed it down as the arrow of the dugong..."

"So your mother has passed away." Mao Lilan said softly.

Hattori Heiji noticed that Chi Feichi was looking at him, he knelt down speechlessly, and reached out to scratch his hair.

Well, well, he admitted, they were just here to gossip.

"Yes, she and her father died in the sea five years ago," Shimabukuro Junhui said. "Even my grandparents disappeared when they went out to sea on a boat before I was born."

"All your family members died at sea?" Yuan Shan and Ye couldn't help but ask, "Is there something you don't know? For example, if you eat mermaid meat, you will be cursed?"

"Impossible!" Junhui Shimabukuro laughed, "I went to the island by boat with Saori before, but nothing happened."

Hattori Heiji stood up all of a sudden, and asked, "Are you going to talk about the island with Miss Saori? When?"

"Just four days ago..." Shimabukuro Junhui said, "I said I was going to the dentist, so she went with me, because there is no dentist on this island."

"At that time, was Saori's emotional state stable?" Mori Kogoro asked.

Shimabukuro Junhui recalled, "Saori was very scared because she lost the dugong arrow, and asked me to ask my grandma if there was any way. Even if I told her that the curse was fake, she still didn't believe it and kept saying She must have been cursed by the mermaid...probably because I will tell them the legend when I hand over the Dugong Arrow."

"Oh?" Mori Kogoro looked at Junhui Shimabukuro inquiringly.

Junhui Shimabukuro lowered his head, "I'm worried that those who ask for arrows will come to complain because they don't have a long life, so when I give them arrows, I will tell them that if they lose the arrows or don't believe in arrows strength, mermaids will bring disasters... In fact, there is no such thing at all."

"Jun Hui, you are so stupid!" A woman in a purple dress stepped forward, "You say that because you don't understand the power of fate at all."

Junhui Shimabukuro turned her head in surprise, "Sumi..."

Chi Feichi raised his eyes to look at the environment of the shrine.

Mingyang is a respectful title for gods or nobles.

However, he really didn't find anything different here.
