Conan: I Am Not a Snake Spirit

Chapter 371: The Torch Extinguished Three Times

"She has really eaten mermaid meat, and she really has magical powers," Ebihara Sumi touched her chin and said, "You should also know that the corpse of the mermaid that was discovered three years ago..."

Conan and Hattori Heiji were surprised.

"Human, mermaid corpse?!"

Mao Lilan recalled, "Did you say that it was reported three years ago..."

"If you put it this way, there seems to be a similar report three years ago," Mouri Kogoro touched his chin and recalled, "It seems that a strange charred corpse was found in a warehouse..."

"Actually, that's just an exaggeration on the TV show." Junhui Shimabukuro said quickly.

"You're talking nonsense with your eyes open, didn't you see it too?" Ebino Hara Sumi's expression became a little gloomy, "The broken bone of that mermaid, that weird..."

"Shoumei, stop talking!" A man put his hand on Shanghai Laoyuan Shoumei's shoulder and stopped him.

Ebihara Sumi turned her head in surprise, "Lu Lang?"

"It's inconvenient to say those words in front of outsiders," Fukuyama Rokuro said, then looked at Chi Feichi and his group, and turned to leave, "I heard that you are detectives from Tokyo. If you want to find Saori, Don't waste time here, let's go to Saori's house to find out the situation! However, the premise must be that her alcoholic father welcomes you to go..."

Ebihara Sumi also followed.

"It's really strange," Hattori Heiji Banyue watched the two leave, "It's obvious that someone has disappeared, but no one is worried about her safety..."

Chi Feichi withdrew his gaze from looking at the shrine, "Because Ms. Kadowaki Saori and her father often quarreled, and it's not the first time that they ran away from home when they quarreled."

"Huh?" Shimabukuro Junhui was going to explain, but Chi Feichi took the lead.

Hattori Heiji and the others also silently turned their attention to Chi Feichi.

"Before I came here, I inquired about the location of her home and visited her home," Chi Feichi explained, "Her father was at home and drank a lot of wine, saying that she hadn't been back since four or five days ago. Where did she go? Seeing the change in his facial expression, he didn't seem to be lying. After that, I asked the neighbors around. Saori Kadowaki's father, Mr. Benzo Kadowaki, was a heavy drinker. The father and daughter had a bad relationship and often quarreled. The next time Miss Kadowaki Saori quarreled, she would run away from home, so the others didn't pay much attention to when Miss Kadowaki Saori disappeared."

Hattori Heiji scratched his head with a dry smile, "So you have already investigated before you came..."

"That's true. I also think that Saori might have quarreled with her father, so let's go somewhere to relax," Shimabukuro Junhui said, and then smiled at Chi Feichi, "But I really didn't expect him You are welcome to come over, sometimes even if we friends go to Saori, he will seem very impatient."

"I claimed to be a friend Ms. Kadowaki met in Tokyo, and I bought a bottle of wine to bring there," Chi Feichi said, "For alcoholics, just give them wine."

Mori Kogoro suddenly remembered that Chi Feichi brought wine when he went to his house for dinner for the first time. He always felt that his apprentice was complaining about himself, and the corner of his mouth twitched slightly, but he couldn't help asking, "What wine did you buy in the past? Let that kind of person welcome you?"

"Moutai," Chi Feichi said, "It seems that there is only this kind of Chinese wine on the island, and it is very fragrant."

"That's one of the three famous distilled spirits that is as famous as Scotch whiskey and French cognac," Mori Kogoro said with a distressed expression, "The price is ridiculously high, and I haven't even drunk it, so you just gave it away? "

Chi Feichi said without changing his expression, "I still have a bottle in my bag, specially reserved for you."

Kogoro Moori was taken aback, then scratched his head and smiled, "Oh, you left me a bottle, how can you be so kind, it really cost you..."

Mao Lilan held her forehead speechlessly, feeling tired. She has an alcoholic father who really wants to run away from home every minute.

Hattori Heiji glanced at Mori Kogoro for half a month, and continued to ask Chi Feichi about his business, "And then? What else did you talk about with that alcoholic father of Miss Saori?"

"No talk, I didn't go in, I just glanced into the room," Chi Feichi explained, "There are at least ten wine bottles piled up in the corner of the living room, very scattered, with cigarette butts and ash scattered irregularly on the floor, under the sofa. There are also wine bottles and cigarette butts. There are wine stains on the table for at least three days. The curtains are drawn, and the lower corners of the curtains have turned black. In addition, judging from the condition of the table legs and under the table, it has not been cleaned for a long time. It can be seen that , Ms. Kadowaki is usually in her own room at home, and she doesn't spend much time outside her room, leaving few traces. If you want to investigate, you have to enter her room, but a young man suddenly came to someone's house At home, when a young girl is not at home, saying to someone's father, 'Can you let me go to your daughter's room and take a look at it', will seem rascally and impure, even if I said it was to investigate Kadowaki-san Others may not believe her whereabouts.”

Junhui Shimabukuro watched the man in front of her calmly and methodically analyze. The detective from Tokyo seems to be really good. Will her criminal plan be seen through...

Hattori Heiji sweated, "That's right, it's better for everyone to go there together, especially if there are girls present, it's more or less convenient."

"Or sneak in to investigate while her father is not at home." Chi Feichi added.

Hattori Heiji:"……"

Conan: "..."

This is a criminal act, do you know that?

Even if you think so in your heart, it's not impossible to consider it when necessary, but...well, don't say it in front of so many people.

Mao Lilan smiled a little embarrassedly, turned her head to look at Junhui Shimabukuro, and found that Junhui Shimabukuro looked at Chi Feichi and was distracted, "Huh?"

Shimabukuro came back to his senses and said with a smile, "After the festival is over, I'll take you to Saori's house. Although it's a festival, it's actually just a lottery. If grandma burns the same number on the door, she will get the Dugong Arrow."

As he said that, he took out two wooden signs with numbers written on them, and said to Mao Lilan, Yuan Shan and Ye with a smile, "Would you like to try it? An old couple happened to cancel it temporarily in the morning, so now there are two more numbers cards, the words of divination are unbelievable, but maybe, as people say, you can obtain eternal youth and beauty~!"

"Ah? Thank you."

Yuan Shan and Ye took the number plate.

"Thank you..." Mao Lilan took the number plate and suddenly turned to ask Chi Feichi, "Brother Feichi, do you want to try it? If you want, I can give you my number plate."

Um?

Conan came to his senses and stared at the two people suspiciously.

Why did Xiaolan ask Chi Feichi instead of asking so many people?

To say that young people are most needed, uncle needs it more than Chi Feichi, right?

It's weird, so weird.

"I don't need it." Chi Feichi turned around and walked towards the entrance of the shrine first, and said in a cold tone, "Those who dream of gaining the power of gods will eventually turn into demons."

"Uh..." Yuan Shan, Ye and Mao Lilan looked at each other in blank dismay.

Mao Lilan smiled dryly, and said to Shimabukuro Junhui who was a little confused, "Brother Feichi is like this..."

Conan Banyueyan, well, he understands why Xiaolan asked Chi Feichi if he wanted a number plate.

I don't understand why women are so excited when they gossip, and they try to pull the red line...

"Yeah, then I'm going to be busy with the preparations too, everyone please..." Junhui Shimabukuro smiled, watched a group of people leave the shrine, and then lowered her head with a wry smile.

...

At night, outside the wooden houses in the village, red flames danced on the torches.

The three villagers beat the drums neatly and quickly, and other villagers and tourists also chatted and laughed in low voices, gathering in front of the wooden house from all directions.

Before Chi Feichi went, he went back to the hotel to charge his laptop. However, with the help of Mao Lilan and others, he was able to stand at the front and watch the excitement.

The little old woman with her back to everyone picked up the long pole on the wooden frame, turned around and walked out the door.

"It's the longevity woman."

"The Longevity Lady has come out..."

There are villagers whispering around.

"This is the longevity woman..." Conan looked at her speechlessly.

"It's really small..." Mori Kogoro also complained in a low voice.

Hattori Heiji's half-moon eye is just an old woman with heavy makeup...

As soon as he turned his head, he found that Chi Feichi beside him was staring at the torch intently.

Tsk, Brother Feichi's eyes are so cold that they seem to be able to put out flames...

Chi Feichi quietly stared at the flames, distracted.

In front of a person whose life expectancy is unknown, he is in a delicate mood to play some longevity tricks.

Even Feimo is at least 180 years old...

When I said that at the shrine before, it was purely because I felt a little bit in my heart, otherwise he wouldn't talk nonsense at all.

On the steps of the wooden house, Longevity Possessed her long pole onto the torch, ready to light the fire.

The next second, the flame suddenly went out.

The noisy crowd fell silent, staring blankly at the long pole hovering over the extinguished torch.

Yihan, the person in charge of the festival: "..."

Such a big flame suddenly went out, what happened?

Hattori Heiji couldn't help looking at Ike Feichi.

no? He just complained about Chi Feichi's cold face all day long.

Uh, but someone put the flames out? How can it be! He's really imaginative lately...

Longevity Po was still calm, and moved the long pole to the torch on the right.

Subconsciously, like everyone else, Chi Feichi turned his head to look at the torch on the right.

Does longevity belong to him?

He didn't know, but there was always an irrepressible arrogance from strange people in his heart...

The next second, the torch on the right also went out.

The onlookers quietly looked at the long pole hovering over the extinguished torch, silently.

The person in charge of the activity couldn't sit still, and hurriedly whispered something to the villagers next to him.

The villagers went up and lit the torch again respectfully.

Longevity Po didn't move the pole to the left any more, but waited for someone to light the torch, and silently moved the pole towards the flame.

I was really infected by Hongzi...

Chi Feichi closed his eyes and looked at the torch again.

Arrogance is outrageous, but neither he nor Koizumi Hongzi dared to say what kind of fate they are, and I feel uncomfortable that someone dares to use the "fate" that is respected as a god.

The next second, the moment the pole touched the flame, the torch went out again.

In front of the wooden house, there were already people whispering and whispering, not understanding what was going on.

Activity Manager: "..."

Can you have a good time tonight? !

Changshoupo remained expressionless, and moved the long pole to the left.

Chi Feichi also looked over.

Don't turn it off...

If I turn it off again, in order not to spoil other people's festivals, I have to consider leaving early...

I usually stare at a candle and don't see the candle go out, so don't trigger any weird things with these three gold fingers tonight.

This time, the ignition was successful.

Changshoupo also breathed a sigh of relief, and continued to light the paper on the door with a burning pole calmly.
