Conan: I Am Not a Snake Spirit

For the last five years, Massachusetts...

Chi Feichi checked the situation at the port, and everything was normal.

In recent years, there has been no abnormality in the ports of Massachusetts on Saturdays and Sundays. Other cargo ships should still dock, and there is no special urgent inspection.

So, why did Ichiro Saruto avoid this period of time?

Judging by the status of both parties, it will only be Ichiro Saruto who is accommodating and currying favor with that important military official, not the other party who is accommodating Ichiro Saruto.

From Saturday afternoon to Sunday afternoon...

That military official is on vacation? Have something else to do? Or do you just hate the moment?

In the list provided by Rum, the investigation of the eight people did not specifically mention this period of time, and no one has been resting during this period, and there are also some retired military generals who rest every day.

Do you want to spend time with your family? Want to train?

That wouldn't be the case for five years, would it?

Persist in activities for such a long time...

Coupled with the smuggling process...

Chi Feichi was stunned for a moment, and carried Feichi, who was entangled in his right hand, to his left, opened the mailbox with a computer, packed and sent the voyage information to Langmu, and sent an email to Langmu.

[Confirm the religious beliefs of those eight people.

In the past five years, the freighter has never arrived at a port on the east coast of the United States between Saturday afternoon and Sunday afternoon, targeting suspected devout Christians and worshiping on Sunday.

——Raki】

Saruto Ichiro did not bribe the port inspectors, but loaded and unloaded smuggled goods from the sea near the port. During the process, the target may need to cooperate, or when discovered by the maritime patrol, the target needs to seek connections and mediate.

In order to avoid disturbing the target when the target is on weekdays, Saruto Ichiro deliberately avoided docking or sailing on Sundays.

And the time after Saturday afternoon also needs to be set aside, so that the target can have a good night's rest and welcome the next day's worship.

If his guess is correct, the target has insisted on going to church every week for almost five years or even longer, and he is definitely a devout Christian.

Although the proportion of Christians in the United States is very high, as far as he knows, many people were baptized at birth and became Christians.

If someone asked, he might say: 'Yes, I am a Christian', but he is not that fanatical, he goes to church but not every week, and some people even hardly go to church.

In this way, the range of those eight people can be further reduced.

Of course, this is one of the possibilities, and there may be other reasons.

But if it can be ruled out, it should be ruled out. First find out one or two most likely targets for investigation. If something is wrong after the investigation, then think in another direction.

Anyway, the time period from Saturday afternoon to Sunday afternoon is definitely an important clue!

[According to their files in the military, seven of them are Christians. As for whether they are devout, I will ask people to confirm.

You can test Ichiro Saruto's attitude towards Christianity.

——Rum]

【Ok. ——Raki】

After replying to Rum, Chi Feichi sent an email to Luchuan Saki again, telling Luchuan Saki to stop running around and focus on investigating Boston and Quincy.

He felt that the target might be in the area of ​​Boston and Quincy, so he insisted on asking why...

No reason, just feeling.

At present, Feimo is strolling in Boston and exploring the terrain, so there is no need to notify him.

Early the next morning, when Chi Feichi helped Frante change his face, he asked Frante to test Ichiro Saruto's attitude towards Christianity, and then drove away.

Change the car, unload Yirong, and pick up Hui Yuanai.

It's time to take the little girl out for a walk again.

Frante doesn't need to keep an eye on it all the time, as long as he can return to Tokyo by tomorrow morning.

After reading the report for the whole day yesterday, he also wanted to relax and go horseback riding in the wild ranch.

Hope this long line ends the investigation phase quickly.

Almost every day, he had to choose a different place, confirm safety, disguise himself, and help Frante disguise himself. He rarely rested for a few days, which was enough torment.

...

On the endless grass, there is a cool breeze.

The red car lowered its roof and sped along the road.

"In the past two days, there have been no reports about July, except for some bribery scandals, murders, policy reports, and the Miss Kusano you mentioned just now, she is going to retire and marry Mr. Broker..."

Hui Yuanai sat on the passenger seat, propped his chin with one hand, looked at the grassy field outside the car, let the strong wind mixed with mud and green grass blow his hair, and felt relieved, "By the way, there is also 'Crossover Song According to Wang's report, a reporter said that he originally thought that there would be four judges and four groups fighting against each other, but he didn't expect that the judges would first eliminate half of the students in their own group. The idea of ​​program planning is very novel, but also very cruel ..."

Chi Feichi drove the car, quietly listening to Hui Yuanai's chatter.

"I also think it's cruel enough," Hui Yuan Ai looked out of the window and looked at Chi Feichi, "Is it embarrassing for the four judges not to ask you to protest?"

"No," Chi Feichi said bluntly, "They already knew the rules. When selecting candidates, they decided who would be trained as trump cards and who would be discarded as cannon fodder."

Hui Yuan choked, and Ban Yueyan complained, "Hearing these inside stories, it really makes people feel that there is darkness inside, and some people are destined to be abandoned?"

"It's not predestined," Chi Feichi explained, "The list in the minds of the four judges will be adjusted according to the situation, and it's not impossible for a dark horse to appear. After all, it's a program for the public, and the champion must be convincing, otherwise you will be scolded .”

"That's true." Hui Yuanai nodded, and joked again, "Now many people in the forum ask Brother Min Ye to participate in the competition, and they also say that he is the uncrowned king. His song has been at the top of the Oricon chart for a week. Don't think about throwing him out to accept advertising endorsements?"

"If it gets to the point where the president also has to accept commercial endorsements, then THK will not be far from going bankrupt." Chi Feichi said.

The show is making money.

In addition to the huge sponsorship advertising fees, there are those songs.

It was stated in the agreement to participate in the show that most of the profits from those songs belonged to them.

In addition, people who are more capable and popular with the audience have been signed by their THK company, and they will make some money if they throw them out to participate in an event or endorsement.

"It is precisely because I may never see you again in the future that people will miss and love her so much, just like Yukiko Kudo who quit the entertainment industry at the age of 20 after the fire and got married," Haibara Ai commented and asked again, "By the way, where is Feichi? Didn't you bring it?"

In the past, even if Feichi didn't run out, she would still like to put her head on Chi Feichi's collar and peek outside. Today, she has never seen Feichi since she got in the car.

"It's in the pocket of my coat." Chi Feichi said.

Hui Yuanai leaned over and pulled Feichi out of Chi Feichi's pocket. Seeing Feichi who was limp, motionless, and didn't even spit out snake letters, she was shocked, and her usually calm face collapsed a little. "No, Brother Fei Chi..."

"Don't worry," Chi Feichi said, "It drank secretly last night and is still hungover."

Sleepover, hangover?

Hui Yuanai looked at Feichi in his hand, which looked like a dead snake, and was still a little worried.

In fact, she really wanted to ask...

Are you sure Feichi is still alive?

The snake is usually cool, so she can't tell the difference.

Along the way, Hui Yuan Ai stopped talking and kept watching Feichi in his hand until he saw Feichi spitting out snake letters slowly. Then he felt a little relieved and put Feichi carefully back into Chi Feichi's coat pocket. After thinking about it, she was worried that Feichi would accidentally fall out and be stepped on, so she took it out again and put it into the small backpack that Chi Feichi bought for her.

Even if she didn't die, she was worried that Feichi would just be so stupid.

I feel that Feichi has become so dull...

...

At the gate of the ranch in front of the road, a woman looked around, and when she saw the approaching red car, she immediately stepped aside, waited for the car to drive into the ranch parking lot, and then walked forward with a smile.

"Mr. Chi, Mr. Da Nan said to calculate the time, you are almost here, let me wait for you here!"

Chi Feichi took Hui Yuan Ai out of the car. He had brought Hui Yuan Ai to ride a horse before, and he called the ranch owner on the way this time.

"Miss Xiao Ai is here too." The woman bent down with a smile and greeted Hui Yuan Ai, "It's still cool today!"

"Thank you..." Hui Yuanai hesitated, then paused, "Sister Sanae."

"Miss Takeuchi, is Mr. Da Nan in there?" Chi Feichi asked.

"You can call me Takeuchi or Sanae," Takeuchi Sanae smiled and turned to walk into the house. "Please follow me. Mr. Okusu is waiting for you in the reception room. Mr. Ninomiya went shopping in the city and should be back soon."

Chi Feichi led Hui Yuanai to follow, and said in a low voice, "Don't force yourself to do things you don't like. A friendship that comes from accommodation is not a real friendship."

Hui Yuanai looked up at Chi Feichi, then lowered his head and thought for a while, "I understand."

She has been learning to 'release kindness' in the past few days, and she is really uncomfortable, as if she is not herself anymore.

Now that I think about it, it was she who was on the edge again, and other people accepted her, and they didn't seem to care whether she was close, kind, and sunny.

As soon as he entered the door, a man in a denim suit and a mustache greeted him with a big smile.

"Mr. Chi, you're here, oh, and Miss Xiao Ai is here too..." The ranch owner Da Nan Youzhi walked up to him, bent down to look at Hui Yuan Ai, and spread his hands, "Watch it, I'll give it to you." You become a magic~”

Hui Yuanai looked at the hands of Tomoyuki Nanu.

Takeuchi Sanae laughed at the side, and explained to Chi Feichi in a low voice, "Mr. Da Nan failed to tease Ms. Xiao Ai last time. During this time, I was still talking about it. If Ms. Xiao Ai comes again, I must make a wonderful magic trick for her. have a look."

Youzhi Da Nan folded his palms together and rubbed his hands, and quietly shook out the chocolate hidden in the sleeve of his clothes, and held it with his right hand, "Look!"

Hui Yuanai looked at Youzhi Da Nan speechlessly: "..."

It's not that she doesn't give face.

It's just that she couldn't help applauding and praising this kind of performance where she could hear the sound of the plastic bag and even saw the chocolate wrapping bag in her sleeve.

"It seems to have failed again." Da Nan Youzhi touched his nose regretfully, but did not take back the chocolate in his hand, "Then, do you want to taste this piece of chocolate?"

"We just had snacks on the way..." Hui Yuanai said.

"Well, the timing of my choice is wrong." Tomoyuki Da Nan stood up straight, put the chocolate on the counter beside him, rubbed his chin to think, "Actually, I should choose flowers, right? Girls should like flowers more? No, no, little For girls, it would be better to use magic to conjure things like plush toys..."

Hui Yuanai looked numb.

She regrets it.

If I had known that this uncle was unwilling to give up and was thinking about the next embarrassing performance, she should have cooperated and applauded just now...
