Conan: I Am Not a Snake Spirit

Three o'clock in the morning.

Chi Fei arrived outside Tushi Ichiro's residence late, more than ten minutes later than Fei Chi.

Ichiro Toshi lives in the police sub-station, which is the same as the house in the village, with the same wooden structure with a sloping roof, and separates the office and dormitory.

After tracking and investigating until now, he was able to restore Shiichiro's activities last night——

From the moment he and Conan fell into the cave, Ichiro Toshi ran deep into the jungle, and after finding that they hadn't followed, he went to the stone tablet enshrining the bouquet.

The bouquet should have been picked off and tied up during the day and placed in front of the stone monument. The reason why Tushi Ichiro went there may be that he hurt innocent people and wanted to talk to Machiko Konno, or maybe he wanted to tell Machiko Konno that he was going to formally talk to Machiko Konno. The people from Hecang's family started.

After that, Tushi Ichiro went near the sacrificial tree known as the "Second Tribute" and called Wakura Yoichi who was waiting there into the jungle to stun him, then put Wakura Yoichi on the sacred tree, and pressed The switch of the lower reservoir gate.

There are also the imprints of Tsushi Ichiro's straw sandals and the edge of He Cangyang's leather shoes. Unfortunately, there are many footprints near the tree of the gods and the tree of sacrifice. Theirs and those of the villagers are all mixed together.

Afterwards, Tsushi Ichiro went to the forest to change into the clothes he had hidden in advance, went out of the forest, and went to the main road to meet the villagers who had rushed over when they heard of Wakura Yoichi's death.

He found Tushi Ichiro's 'Birdman' suit on a tree, which should have been replaced at that time.

Since it is certain that Wakura Yoichi was killed by Doshi Ichiro, then Shirato Taimi who died in the same way should be the same.

After Chi Feichi and Feichi met at Tu Shi Yicheng's residence, they didn't stay long and turned back.

When they got to the main road, Feichi, who was lying on Chi Feichi's shoulder, couldn't hold back anymore, and hinted, "Master, I won't be slow to find him, right?"

Chi Feichi knew what answer Feichi wanted as soon as he heard it, and praised with a calm face, "It's amazing."

"Not at all," Feichi shook the tip of his tail happily, "Because it wasn't raining, the smell left by his shoes is still obvious, but the police officer of Tushi seems to be the murderer..."

"It's him."

All the way back to the big rock bath, Chi Feichi observed it, and after confirming that no one had been there during this period, he put Feichi among the rocks, took a bath in the washing room, and washed his bathrobe and clogs with water by the way. , Wash off all the dust in the jungle, change into his previous clothes, and return to Hecang's house with his bathrobe.

It was close to four o'clock in the morning, and the guest room of Hecang's old maid was next to the living room on the first floor, so she went out to check when she heard the noise.

"Master Chi?"

"Sorry to disturb you, I accidentally fell asleep in the bath."

"Ah, it's okay, you have to be careful, that bathrobe..."

"Falled into the water."

"Then leave it to me. I'll get you another bathrobe. This one will be cleaned tomorrow."

"sorry to bother you."

"You are being polite."

After dealing with the old maid, Chi Feichi went upstairs to sleep in his room.

...

At around ten o'clock in the morning, Chi Feichi was awakened by high-pitched and sharp chirping.

The screams that resounded through the village sounded again, which also meant that Tu Shi Yicheng had killed another person.

When Chi Feichi went out and followed the direction of the noise, Fei Yingli, Conan and most of the villagers had already arrived in front of the sacrificial tree.

This time it was Wakura Qinmi who died, who was also impaled on the sharpened branch of the sacrificial tree.

The villagers became a little numb after seeing people die one after another. Only the Hecang family was still grieving.

Of He Cang Yonghai's four children, only He Cang Lianger and He Cang Meisha are left.

Seeing that Chi Fei was late, Fei Yingli's solemn face eased a little, "Fei Chi, you woke up, a friend said you fell asleep in the bathing place last night, don't take a bath if you are too sleepy, and be careful of drowning."

"Sorry for worrying you." Chi Feichi apologized.

Fei Yingli: "..."

There was no sign of 'sorry' at all on that calm face.

Dr. Ali looked at the corpse on the tree and sighed, "We agreed not to act alone, but this morning Conan wanted to visit the tree of sacrifice, so I brought the children here. Just stay at home..."

"In the morning, I went to Mr. Hecang to confirm some defense issues. Ms. Meisa accompanied me. After we came out, only Mr. Ryoji, Ms. Qinghua and the maid were in the living room," Fei Yingli looked at The corpse on the tree, "Miss Qinmei probably came out alone at that time, but was killed by the murderer."

"It's the big bird god!" The rich woman jumped out again.

"Same as Mr. Yangyi," Chi Feichi observed the corpse, "there are marks on the forehead from a blow."

"That's right," Fei Yingli stroked her chin, "The murderer should have knocked them out before killing them, but Ms. Shirato Taimi was not knocked out at that time..."

A rich woman: "..."

Can these people listen to her?

Even if you don't believe in the Great Bird God, you shouldn't ignore an old man over and over again, right?

Very angry!

Conan wrapped a piece of obsidian in a handkerchief, walked up to Chi Feichi from under the tree, and handed the thing forward, "Brother Chi, I found this at Miss Qinmei's feet!"

Chi Feichi took out an evidence bag and asked Conan to put the fragments in it.

Conan took out the two fragments he got yesterday and put them on the grass to piece them together.

After putting it together this time, the obsidian mirror was only missing one piece.

The pattern on the back is a very simple carving, a half-human, half-animal holding something like a drum in his hand.

This kind of mural-like sculpture is very abstract. It can be seen that it is a human figure with fangs, but it can't be seen what kind of beast it is. The thing in the hand is just a long shape.

"What kind of pattern is this?" Yuan Tai followed and looked at it.

Mitsuhiko touched his chin and thought, "It feels like a mural... No, it looks like an ancient cultural relic just unearthed, the kind of statue with big eyes and a big mouth made of clay."

Chi Feichi knelt down and looked at it for a moment, barely distinguishing, "Huizilopochtli."

"Huh?" Ayumi asked in surprise, "Is the sun god that people in Mesoa and America believe in?"

"Well, it is said that Huizilopochtli has feather decorations on his hands." Chi Feichi pointed to the hands of the characters on the obsidian fragments. "The left foot also has the same feather decorations, holding a shield and a spear in his hands."

"It turns out that this is a shield, not a drum." Hui Yuanai looked at the fragments and activated the poisonous tongue skill. "It's so simple that people can't tell what it is."

"Did you come to investigate this morning?" Chi Feichi asked.

"Uh, yes," Conan looked at the rich woman speechlessly, "but..."

"The little ghosts you brought are actually climbing the sacrificial tree. They will be punished!" Seeing that the group of people finally began to pay attention to themselves, the rich lady said with a dark face, "I stopped them, but they still followed me!" Arguing, you really don't respect me as a priest at all!"

Yuan Tai declared solemnly, "We are not impolite."

"Yes!" Mitsuhiko nodded.

Ayumi looked aggrieved, "It's the mother-in-law who is too fierce!"

A rich woman: "..."

Seeing the little girl being so wronged, she suddenly couldn't bear to criticize her.

Taking advantage of other people not paying attention, Conan leaned close to Chi Feichi's ear and whispered, "I haven't had time to check whether there is any problem with the sacrificial tree, this mother-in-law ran over, she stared very closely, there was no time to take care of it." investigation."

Chi Feichi thought about it, and could only say...

"come on."

Conan: "..."

Hui Yuanai moved between the two of them, "Have you two discovered anything else?"

"It's sort of..." Seeing the commotion around, Conan hesitated, "Let's talk about it when we get back."

"I discovered a little bit. When I woke up in the morning, I looked through the books in the bookshelf in the living room of Hecang's house," Hui Yuanai said, "There is a book called "Mesoa-American Dictionary", which contains Drawings of golden eagle warriors of Faith Huizilopochtli."

"Golden Eagle Warrior?" Conan's face changed slightly after being puzzled, "Could it be that..."

"That's right, it's an image with feathers on its body and a bird's beak mask on its face." Hui Yuanai looked at the villagers in the distance, and lowered his voice again, "That strange person should have become a golden eagle warrior It is also recorded in the books that they would sacrifice the hearts of prisoners of war. At the same time, they were worried that the God of Darkness would defeat the Sun God, and they would sacrifice alive to those whom the God of Darkness liked. Of course, it is said that the Mayans who believed in the Sun God were the last Failed, the victors were the Jaguar Legion who believed in the God of Darkness Disco Tripoca, that is, the people of the Olmec civilization."

Conan frowned thoughtfully.

It seems that this village is indeed related to the Mesoa-American civilization, but where is it?

Looking at the bird man's outfit yesterday, there should be golden eagle warriors in the village, which is consistent with people who believe in the sun god. The murderer seems to be performing a living sacrifice.

But the name of the village is 'Fifteen Nights Village', and it looks like it belongs to the God of Darkness.

Does murder have anything to do with belief?

Is that what the weirdo said to Cang's family before, "I am my enemy"? Is this implying this?

After discussing for a while, the villagers left one after another and continued to pray at the shrine.

Chi Feichi and others also returned to Hecang's house.

"There is no way to contact the police now. Do you want to put down the bodies of the eldest brother and the second sister first?" He Cang Meisha sat helplessly on the sofa, and turned to He Cang Liang Er for help, "Also, how should we contact the police?" Dad said about the second sister?"

Her father had a bad heart, and was frightened by the bird man last night, and then her elder brother died again, and her father almost died of a heart attack, and he has not been able to get up from the hospital bed until now.

"Although I want to say that it's better to hide it from Mr. Hecang first, but I can't hide the strange noise that resounded through the village. I'm afraid he also guessed that someone was killed," Fei Yingli sighed, and said to Chi Feichi, "What's the matter?" Yes, there is no news of Miss Qinghua's two companions so far, and the police officer of the Tushi has promised to organize the villagers to help find them."

Chi Feichi didn't care about the movements of those two people, and said casually, "No news is not bad news."

At least from his tracking of Tu Shi Yicheng's whereabouts last night, those two people were not murdered.

Mitsuhiko nodded and said, "Maybe they have gone back long ago!"

"That's right." Fei Yingli heaved a sigh of relief.

Hui Yuanai dug out the "Mesoa-American Dictionary" from the bookshelf, took it to the table, opened it, and put it in front of Chi Feichi, "This is the golden eagle warrior I saw, and... page, on which are Huizilopochtli, the sun god, and Discotripoca, the god of darkness."

Mitsuhiko leaned forward curiously, "Both of them look half-human and half-beast."

Yuan Tai was amazed, "And the left leg of the God of Darkness is really an obsidian mirror!"

"Ah..." He Cang Meisha looked at the picture, and suddenly exclaimed in a low voice. Seeing other people looking at her, she quickly stabilized her mind and stood up, "By the way, it's time for Dad to take medicine, I'll go and see .”
