Conan: I Am Not a Snake Spirit

Kyushu, Kumamoto Airport.

A promotional banner of the 'Nation of Fire Cup' was hung in the airport lobby. This time, there were not only children's competitions, but also the semi-finals and finals of the professional tennis group.

After getting off the plane, the three children were elated.

Ayumi: "Here we are!"

Mitsuhiko: "It's Kyushu!"

Genta: "Kumamoto is here!"

Mori Kogoro, who was suffering from indigestion and sluggish yesterday, raised his spirits, "Drink shochu!"

Feichi shouted excitedly, "Eat horse meat sashimi!"

The others stared at Kogoro Mori speechlessly.

Chi Feichi: "..."

All right, I'll buy horse meat sashimi for Feichi tonight.

At the exit of the airport, tennis news was playing on the TV: "The semi-finals of the 'Nation of Fire Cup' Charity Tennis Tournament will be held today..."

"It's Mr. Ma Yuan!" Ayumi's eyes lit up, she ran to the screen and looked up, "That's what he said two days ago when I saw you at the match!"

Mitsuhiko and Genta saw the faces of acquaintances and moved closer.

"It turns out that he also came to participate in the Fire Country Cup competition." Mitsuhiko said with emotion.

"His hometown seems to be Kumamoto. It's normal for him to come back to support a charity tennis match held in his hometown," Conan said.

Yuan Tai looked longingly, "The promotional poster is so handsome!"

"What do you brats know?" Suzuki Sonoko stepped forward and looked at the next group of contestants who jumped out of the screen, "If you want to say really handsome..."

The next set of promotional posters was playing on the TV: "The second round is between Masato Tachikawa, also from Kumamoto, and Mike Wowen from the UK..."

Suzuki Sonoko folded his hands next to his cheeks, with a look of intoxication, "Masato-sama is the most handsome~!"

Others glanced half-moon at Sonoko Suzuki, who was committing a nympho.

Mitsuhiko said unconvinced, "I think brother Chi will be better than him."

Ayumi nodded, and added, "Although I haven't seen Brother Chi playing tennis..."

Yuan Tai struggled, "But how could we beat professional players like them!"

Mitsuhiko had no choice but to say, "Genta, please take a closer look at the schedule."

"This competition is divided into professional group, youth group, and youth group," Chi Feichi explained. "You are participating in the youth group, and you will not face off against professional players or contestants over the age of twelve."

"Moreover, the competition between the professional group and the youth group has already started," Hui Yuanai said with a calm expression, "This morning is the semi-finals of the professional group, and this afternoon is the competition for the youth group to select the top 16." , Tomorrow the professional group will have a day off, and the youth group will decide the top eight in the morning. The top four teams will be selected directly by points, followed by a break at noon. The first game in the afternoon is also our game, which is the semi-finals of the semi-finals, followed by the finals of the professional group. The professional group game will be the day after tomorrow After the end, there will be an awards ceremony, and the day after tomorrow will be the finals of our junior group in the morning and the finals of the youth group in the afternoon, and then the organizer will present awards to us together with the previous champions of the professional group."

"Xiao Ai remembers it really clearly." Mao Lilan sighed.

Conan laughed dryly in his heart, he also knew about the race schedule.

Simply put, they just make up the numbers.

For professional competitions, there is one day off for one day of competition.

There is only one match a day for the youth group.

Only the competition of their junior group ended in a hurry within two days after the morning competition and the afternoon competition.

But it is also understandable. After all, there are children participating. After leaving their hometown and coming to Kumamoto for a long time, there may be troubles. Moreover, they are all short net competitions, and the amount of activity is not large. It will not be too tiring to play two games a day.

"There are only four games for each team, right?" Suzuki Sonoko sized up the five members of the Boy Detective Team, as if watching the excitement is not a big deal, "Which of the five of you are going to sit on the bench and be a substitute?"

"We have already discussed it," Mitsuhiko said with a serious face, "I, Genta, Ayumi and Haibara will participate in the first game. In the semi-finals, Conan will replace Haibara, and we will choose to participate in the finals according to our status. In this way, everyone will have a chance to play!"

Hui Yuanai lowered his eyes and remained silent.

It's okay to participate in the first knockout round. There are a lot of people participating, so there are so many people competing at the same time, and there will be a lot less TV coverage.

As for the semi-finals and finals, they received too much attention, so she didn't plan to participate, she just went to cheer for the children.

Suzuki Sonoko saw that it was not lively, and immediately lost interest, "You kid really don't have a sense of humor!"

"I think this is very good," Mao Lilan said with a smile. "Everyone participated, and everyone sweated for the team and the victory. No matter what the result is, it is a very memorable and commemorative event!"

"I said, are you still leaving?" Mori Kogoro urged silently while standing at the airport exit.

A group of people didn't delay any longer, went to the hotel to put away their things, and had lunch together again.

Chi Feichi packaged the PPT of "Morandi Color System" and sent it to Chi Kanai's mailbox. Before waiting for a reply, he took the five children to report and register, and by the way, he also had to process everyone's admission certificates.

When we got back to the hotel, it was past six in the afternoon. Chi Feichi brought a horse meat sashimi to Feichi on the road, went back to the hotel restaurant by himself, ate something casually with other people, and then took his leave and went back to the room.

The others considered that Chi Feichi had run back and forth today and had a lot of trouble, so no one thought there was anything wrong, and they didn't bother Chi Feichi anymore.

After Chi Feichi returned to the room, he put down Feichi who was digesting food, found a brown coat from his backpack, put it on, and left the room alone.

More than an hour later, in a small bar in Tsuura-cho, Kumamoto, two men in black and sunglasses sat quietly in front of the bar, whispering from time to time.

Behind the bar, the waitress stood far away with an embarrassing expression on her face, without bothering her rashly.

Wearing sunglasses in a place like a bar at night is not a good person at first sight.

Moreover, the two men were both very strong. She guessed that the two men were probably members of a violent society, and she was a little worried that if she said the wrong thing or heard some secrets, she would endanger her own safety.

"jingle!"

The bell at the door rang, and the waitress immediately looked at the door with a smile.

The man in black on the side of the door also looked sideways, and when he realized that a middle-aged man in a brown coat came in, he looked away.

The middle-aged man's back was slightly bent, his shoulders were slumped, and a ponytail was tied behind his head. His somewhat sallow face showed a trace of fatigue and loss. , There is some paint on the trousers, it looks like a frustrated painter.

After being active in the city at night for a long time, I can always meet some strange people. They may be even stranger in the eyes of others.

But the point is, this middle-aged man is not like the person they are waiting for.

"Hi, welcome!" The waitress greeted with a smile.

The middle-aged man saw two big men in black sitting in the bar, he was startled for a moment, walked to the back of the bar, away from the two of them and sat down.

The waitress had a reason to stay away from the two big men in black. She was relieved and didn't show it on her face. She walked to the corner and asked softly, "What do you need?"

The middle-aged man pondered for a moment before speaking, his voice was low and hoarse, but also lightly, with a hint of unease.

"Give me a gin and tonic, please."

"OK, just a second!"

The waitress went to work on the bartending.

The two parties in front of the bar were also far away, and there was no intention of chatting casually.

A big man in black at the back took out his mobile phone and looked at it, then silently sent an email.

"Sorry," the middle-aged man sitting in the corner got up, looked at the waitress' eyes still blank, and said in a tired tone, "Where is the bathroom?"

The waitress looked up, "Huh? The door behind you..."

The two men in black looked sideways and noticed that the other got up and went to the bathroom, but they didn't pay much attention.

The middle-aged man went into the bathroom, closed the door, locked the door softly, took out his mobile phone, found the phone that was hung up just now in the call log, looked at the number, and played back.

The call was connected quickly, and the male voice over there was low and gloomy, "Luck, it's been five minutes since the appointed time, haven't you arrived yet?"

"arrive."

Chi Feichi resumed his original voice, lowered to the point that it was inaudible, but his tone was still calm, "I came here in disguise. There are two of us here, and the target is not there."

"How's the surrounding situation?"

"No suspicious person was found."

"Convert to email first, I will ask about the situation, and I will find someone to pay attention to the movement near the bar."

After Gin finished speaking, he hung up the phone in a hurry.

Chi Feichi was in no hurry to go out, and waited for a minute before pressing the flush button of the toilet, and went to the sink to wash his hands.

This time when he went to Kumamoto, he also reported to that person in advance, and then he got a mission.

It’s not hard to say, this matter has already been followed by someone, Rum has been investigated for a while, the operation started yesterday, and Gin’s people connected with Rum’s people, he only needs to supervise the mission process, if necessary Adjust the action plan from time to time, and bring the last thing back to Tokyo.

The organization currently has no core members or more credible people in Kumamoto, they are all peripheral members. This is the reason why the one asked him to come over to supervise the execution of the mission. At the same time, it also means that these people may not be credible. He has to be careful.

Even Gin can't guarantee that the people he arranges are credible at all, and Feimo's bird army has not covered Kumamoto, so he doesn't want to be squatted by the secret service.

And he couldn't bring a gun to take the plane in the normal way. This time, he only brought APTX-4869 disguised with candy wrappers, a black card, and his skills. Self-protection and action are probably no problem, but he still lacks a gun. people's deterrence.

After all, he didn't come here to kill people this time. The one said that the target can't die.

As for the injury...

If the task requires, you can give up taking things and directly take the target hostage and take it to Tokyo, regardless of whether it is injured or not.

But it is very troublesome to bring a living person back to Tokyo, and he has to escort the car, which is even more troublesome...

After Chi Fei slowly washed his hands, Gin's email was also sent.

[Their explanation is that the target and his companion suddenly left the bar early, and Rum's people have already followed. They were worried about alarming the target, so they stayed in the bar temporarily and waited for you by the way. ——Gin]

[I will confirm. ——Raki】

[OK, I'll let them wait at the bar. ——Gin]
