Conan: I Am Not a Snake Spirit

Downstairs, after Ji Beizhu returned home, he yawned, his eyes became clearer, and he took out his mobile phone to send a text message to Chi Feichi.

【Father, I heard you have a cold? Judy is about to leave Japan. It’s like resigning from the school. Today, two of her students held a farewell party at her home. I heard them say that you are sick, and the doctor said that you should try not to talk, so I want to send you a text message to tell you, I I think Judy is a bit weird, look at her palms, arms, etc. She should have been practicing fighting and marksmanship, unlike ordinary people, but she is an American, and she seems to have a rich father, maybe It's an interest I've developed since I was a child. I didn't pay attention to it at first, but she seemed to be tempting me some time ago, so I paid attention. 】

[When did she test you? 】

It's still her father's style, just get used to it.

Isogai Nagisa was typing and sending text messages while going to the bathroom.

[I'm not sure when she started it, but her curiosity was a bit too much, which seemed abnormal. By the way, she also asked me about you and how we met. I know about you, Dad. Not much, so I didn't deliberately hide it, I wanted to see what she was going to do, but she suddenly decided to leave... Dad, do you think she will send agents from the United States to Japan to inquire about classified information? Now that the intelligence investigation is over, she is going to go back to work. 】

In the apartment building a few streets away, Chi Feichi flipped through the text message.

After all, Isogai Nagisa is also the daughter of a shadow planner. Although she hasn't learned from her father who is good at planning bank robberies, she is still sharp enough.

The speculation about Judy's identity is also on point.

"Om..."

Before Chi Feichi could reply, the phone vibrated, and a new text message came.

[Should we call the police? No, should I tell the police about this kind of thing? Or the foreign service? 】

Isogai asked very seriously, completely unaware that he had turned a beautiful friendship into a plastic friendship.

She really didn't mean to be drunk tonight, but she's just used to it...cough, ever since she found out that Judy behaved strangely, every time she drank with Judy, she was on guard, pretending to be drunk, but actually very sober, just afraid of Judy What kind of information was obtained from her.

While she had nothing worthy of a spy agent's attention, her dad did.

Her father is the heir of a multinational group, who knows if someone will try to do something to harm her father.

Chi Feichi received the text message, thought it over carefully, and quickly gave up the idea.

He wanted to give Judy a free tour of the Metropolitan Police Department. The two FBIs were not intimidated by his behavior of entering the Metropolitan Police Department during the day. Even if he meets Gin tomorrow, he still has to drag his 'sick body' to walk the ropes and climb over the building, but...

There is no evidence, and based on Isobe Nagisa's words, it is difficult for the police to investigate Judy, and if Judy is held back by the Metropolitan Police Department, it may lead to an uncertain change in the plot.

[Without evidence, the police will not believe it, and she is assured that other people are guests at home and she is drunk, she should not be that kind of person. 】

[That's right, maybe I'm too suspicious, so dad, you should go to bed earlier, remember to take cold medicine! 】

Ordinary citizen Chi Feichi read Isogai Nagisa's text message, put his phone on the table, and silently flipped through the pictures captured by the crows with pinhole cameras, and asked Sawada Hiroki to share the pictures of people who are sure to be the FBI or who are suspected of being the FBI. Cut it down, organize it, file it.

Hiroki Sawada helped cut out and insert the full-body photos, face photos, and car photos.

He is responsible for entering the clues observed in the past few days, such as height, body shape, text description of appearance characteristics, whether he is left-handed or right-handed, small habits of action, current foothold, car model and license plate...

Of course, it also includes the information of Shuichi Akai and Judy.

Both children are indeed happy.

...

The next day, at five o'clock in the afternoon.

Beside a telephone pole at the entrance of an alley, a man in his forties was leaning against the wall, with short black hair in a mess, a square face, high cheekbones, deep eye sockets with dark circles, and a blue shirt with wrinkled inconspicuous parts. No matter how you look at him, he looks like a depressed middle-aged man.

The middle-aged man held a mobile phone in one hand and listened to it by his ear. With his head lowered, the wrinkles around his lowered brows and eyes revealed fatigue and weakness, as if he was being hammered by society and reality.

People passing by in the distance didn't pay much attention, and naturally they couldn't know that when the man whispered, his voice was clear, calm and young, and he didn't feel depressed at all.

"Vermouth?"

"Yeah," Mao Liland said on the phone, "it's a very strange English, maybe a name or something. I want to ask if you have heard of this kind of English."

"I heard." Chi Feichi said.

Mao Lilan was surprised, "Where is it?"

"It's a kind of spiced wine." Chi Feichi said, coughing twice, "Mr. Mao Li wants to drink?"

"Uh, no, no..." Mao Lilan's peasy eyes, after recovering, continued, "It was my father who received a boring letter with a strange signature and some provocative words in it. It will be made by someone who hates him, and will it be sent to his acquaintances, so I ask if you have received it..."

"I've been...well, I haven't gone out much, and I haven't checked my mailbox."

"That's it, then don't read it, so as not to affect your mood, brother Feichi, is your cold still not healed?"

"today is much better."

Chi Feichi told the truth.

In the morning, he changed his appearance with a slide rope, left from the building next door, and went to the residence of Chizo Fukuura, the producer of the "Captain Ghost" series.

In the afternoon, although his feeling of fatigue did not diminish, his sore throat and chest tightness eased a lot, and his coughing became less frequent.

"Then it seems that staying at home and resting is very useful. Brother Feichi, then you should have a good rest. Be careful not to blow the wind, otherwise the cold will get worse and it will be very troublesome."

"Got it, I'm not in the mood to run around."

On the second floor of the Mori Detective Agency, Mao Lilan stood in front of Mori Kogoro's desk, and after hanging up the phone, he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Uncle, don't move around, I'll add another eye for you!" Suzuki Sonoko was helping Mori Kogoro put ghostly makeup on his face.

Mori Kogoro sat on the sofa, looked at his face in a mirror, and said depressedly, "I would rather be a handsome Mr. Vampire."

Mao Lilan turned her back to the two, and dialed the phone number of Dr. Ali's house with a serious face.

"Ah, doctor, it's me, I'm Xiaolan."

"Xiao Lan, what's the matter with you calling?"

"Well, I want to ask you guys, do you know anyone named Vermouth?"

"Vermouth?" Dr. Ali who received the call pretended to be stupid, "I'm sorry Xiaolan, I haven't heard of this name."

On the side, Conan held a letter signed "Vermouth" in an envelope, and looked down solemnly.

Hui Yuanai sat on the bed wearing a mask, but didn't say a word.

"The office received a very strange letter, signed by this, and it contained some babbling words, inviting my father to Yokohama to attend a makeup party on a cruise ship the day after tomorrow, and provocatively saying that only a person from Tokyo is brave enough to accept the challenge," said Maori. Lan wondered, "Brother Feichi said that was the name of the wine..."

"Wine, the name of the wine?!"

Dr. A Li exclaimed, and realized that he had lost his composure, and his expression changed slowly, "That's what Feichi said, then... is he at the detective agency?"

"Whoosh."

"Whoosh."

The two little heads instantly moved to the receiver held by Dr. A Li.

Haibara Ai and Conan neatly half-kneeled on the table where the landline phone was placed, eavesdropping solemnly.

"No, I was wondering if he would also receive this kind of invitation letter. I called him before to ask."

"Well, what did he say?"

"His cold doesn't seem to be healed yet, and he's still in good spirits, but he's coughing. He said he hasn't gone out much in the past two days, and hasn't checked the mailbox. I don't know if he has received that kind of letter," Mao Lilan hesitated. , still didn’t mention the photos she saw at Judy’s house, although she had a bad feeling, but in case it was a misunderstanding, “But he said that ‘Vermouth’ is a kind of aromatized wine, and asked me if my father wanted to I drank..."

"Really," Dr. A Li pretended to be careless, "Then are you going to go to the appointment of the invitation letter?"

"Father is already preparing, Yuanzi is helping him with makeup."

"make up?"

"Yeah, the letter said, because it's a Halloween make-up party, please dress up as a monster, and go with your companions in black clothes or skirts, so Dad and Yuanzi are preparing. As for Brother Feichi, he said he didn't The mood is running wild, and he has a cold, so he won't go to the sea to blow the sea breeze again."

Dr. A Li breathed a sigh of relief, "What about you? Xiao Lan, do you plan to go together?"

"How could I go to that kind of party full of demons and ghosts?!" Mao Lilan roared in panic.

Dr. Ali: "..."

Just listening to it makes me afraid, it seems that Xiaolan will not go.

Mao Lilan slowed down, a little embarrassed, and lowered her voice again, "Doctor, have you received such a strange letter?"

"No."

"How is Xiao Ai's condition? Is the cold better?"

"It's better than the previous two days, but I still have a cough and fever," Dr. A Li couldn't help feeling, "The recent cold seems to be very stubborn, and I probably need to rest for another two days."

"Then let her have a good rest," Mao Lilan only saw the photos of her, Chi Feichi, and Conan marked in red on the mirror in the bathroom of Judy's house. She didn't think that Hui Yuanai would be involved, so she paused. He added, "I have one more thing to bother the doctor. The letter attached to the invitation mentioned 'incompetent detective'. I wonder if Dad has received this kind of letter, so will Shinichi also receive it? Can I trouble you to check his mailbox? If you don’t tell him if you have such a letter, that guy will be very troublesome in the future..."

"Okay, then I'll go and have a look, and I'll call you if I have something." Dr. A Li looked at Conan, "But I don't think I received it..."

"Also, Dr. Trouble, you keep it a secret from Conan. Conan's kid likes to run around. If he goes to that kind of place, he might be involved in danger, and..." Mao Lilan recalled those photos at Judy's house, somewhat Absent.

"And?" Dr. Ali was puzzled.

Mao Lilan came back to her senses and concealed, "It's the end of the elementary school winter vacation, tell him to come home early and stop wandering around outside."

The three people whose photos are marked with words, she will definitely not go to that kind of party, she wants to go to Mrs. Judy to see what Mrs. Judy wants to do, Brother Feichi said that he is not in the mood, probably true No, Conan is the only one who worries her, but as long as Dr. Ali doesn't say anything and doesn't arouse the child's curiosity, then Conan won't know about the party.

As long as they don't go, they won't be fooled!
