Conan: I Am Not a Snake Spirit

Mao Lilan and Shenjin Chunmei played table tennis for a while, and the dazed mind finally came alive. When it was 11:30 in the evening, they called Shenjin Chunmei and Haiyuan Ai to take a bath.

Conan unceremoniously followed out.

"Huh?" Kogoro Mouri, who was lying on the table and almost fell asleep, raised his head in confusion, "Where are you going?"

"Women's bathroom." Chi Feichi got up.

"Ah?!" Mouri Kogoro suddenly became energetic, "Hey, Conan, Feichi, you two stinky brats, stop for me!"

At the door of the women's soup, the wooden sign '10:00 to 11:00 for the reserved venue' is still hanging on the closed wooden door.

Mao Lilan tried to open the door, but was unable to open it. He looked down and saw a kimono paper figurine on the ground. Curiously, he squatted down and picked it up, "Why is it so cold?"

There was also a small piece of paper tied to the kimono paper figurine's head. Mao Lilan turned the piece of paper upright with his fingers. It was a small Prajna mask, which just fit the paper figurine's face.

"Ah!" Mao Lilan was startled, and the paper figurine dropped to the ground, "What is this!"

Haibara Ai whispered, "Kimono sleeve Prajna..."

Conan's expression changed, he raised his head and shouted to Chi Feichi, "Brother Chi, open the bathroom door!"

Chi Feichi stepped forward, grabbed the door handle with one hand and the door next to it with the other, and with force, he stopped the door and threw it aside.

Even if the situation was urgent, Conan stared at the door that was thrown to the side, and couldn't help but stunned for a moment, the corner of his mouth twitched slightly, and then he ran to the bathroom.

He sometimes suspects that Chi Feichi is really not human.

The arm strength is terrifying.

Chi Feichi, Mao Lilan, Maori Kogoro, and Shenjin Chunmei stayed at the door and did not go in.

Haiyuan sadly saw that Conan ran to the hot spring and stopped, but he walked in without any scruples.

They are kids anyway...

Surrounded by mist, in the hot spring, long belts of various colors were in the water, wrapped in motionless Asuka Shibasaki, spread out in all directions, floating on the water, like a flirtatious piranha in full bloom.

Shibasaki Asuka, who had lost her breath in the middle, was the food that the piranha swallowed, and her long black hair floated in the water in a fan shape.

"Conan, Xiao Ai, is there no one inside?" Mao Lilan asked.

"Yes, yes," Conan looked at the man in the water, feeling a little dry in his throat, "but..."

"Miss Asuka?!"

Mao Lilan, who was looking at it, was startled, and Shenjin Chunmei let out an exclamation.

"Miss Asuka? Wake up!" Mouri Kogoro immediately ran forward, jumped into the hot spring, and waded to Asuka Shibasaki's side. He found that there were some kimono belts on Asuka Shibasaki's body. The blood hole oozes red streaks, "This is bad, she was stabbed in the chest!"

Conan remembered the legend of "Kimono Sleeve Prajna", after a moment of stunned, he turned around and ran out.

The others could only keep up. Chi Feichi did not enter the door and followed.

Eri Akechi, Tokyo Ichi, and Riko Honda were playing poker in the saloon. They heard that Shibasaki Asuka was dead, and heard Conan asking Anzai Ema's location. went to the shrine.

Conan ran over and opened the door to the courtyard, only to find a row of footprints on the ground leading to the entrance of the ancestral hall, turned on the watch-shaped flashlight, and loudly reminded Kogoro Mouri who followed, "Uncle Mouri, don't step on those footprints. , go elsewhere!"

"Understood," Maori Kogoro put on waterproof boots and stepped on the snow to the ancestral hall, "you don't need to remind me, have you forgotten what I do?"

Conan followed behind, using a watch-type flashlight to help illuminate, leaving a string of small footprints next to Mouri Kogoro's.

Mao Lilan noticed that Chi Feichi hadn't been there, and asked aloud, "Brother Feichi, don't you want to take a look?"

"It's enough for the teacher and Conan to go," Chi Feichi said coldly, not interested in this case that knew the cause and effect. "It's easy to damage some traces when more people go."

Mao Lilan believed, worriedly watching Mouri Kogoro and Conan enter the ancestral hall.

It didn't take long for Mouri Kogoro and Conan to return.

"Call the police, Xiaolan," Mauri Kogoro looked solemn, "Miss Anxi was also killed. She was lying on the spread out long-sleeved kimono. She was also fatally stabbed in the chest. It should be the same person who killed Shibasaki Asuka-san!"

More than 20 minutes later, a local policeman surnamed 'Xiaocang' arrived.

Although Kokura had contacted the prefectural police in Yamagata Prefecture, the prefectural police said that the snow on the road outside was too deep, and they would not be able to rush over until dawn tomorrow, and Kogoro Mouri directed the protection of the scene and evidence.

"Madam, can you bring ten bath towels, please?"

"Yes."

When the proprietress left to get the bath towel, Kogoro Mauri looked at Maurilan again, "Xiaolan, bring your digital camera here!"

"Okay!" Mao Lilan nodded immediately and sighed inwardly.

Next time, she will not bring a digital camera. She can't take pictures of landscapes, but only pictures of crime scenes and corpses.

"Then, Officer Kokura and I will cover the footprints on the snow, and Conan will be responsible for following my instructions and taking pictures of the scene," Mouri Kogoro looked at Chi Feichi, "Feichi, you brought gloves and evidence. Bags, right? Then help put away the evidence, pay attention to whether there are any special things on the snow, and if there are, put them away together."

Chi Feichi nodded and took out the disposable gloves in a sealed bag from his pocket.

"Then, everyone else should wait in the Japanese-style living room," Mouri Kogoro said to the others, "It's best not to act alone!"

The others quickly agreed.

When Maorilan brought the digital camera, it started snowing again.

Conan stepped into the snow, walked ahead, and took a photo of the footprints with a digital camera.

Mouri Kogoro and Officer Kokura were behind them, covering their footprints with towels.

Chi Feichi didn't have anything to do for the time being, so he just watched the footprints to see if there was anything that needed to be stored in the evidence bag first.

Conan patted and patted, turned down the corridor, turned on the flashlight, looked in the direction of the back door, looked at the snow where there were no footprints leading to the back door, took out the camera again, and looked at the footprints that Anxi Ema left when she went to the ancestral hall. , I vaguely felt that something was wrong, but I couldn't tell, and ran back to the footprints covered by the towel, squatted down and lifted the towel.

"Hey, Conan, why did you lift the towel?" Kogoro Mori had already covered his footprints in front of the ancestral hall and turned around, "Be careful that the footprints are covered by snow!"

Conan flipped the towel and looked at the footprints below, but still couldn't find the reason why he felt something was wrong, he frowned, turned around and stepped on the snow to follow the ancestral hall.

Mouri Kogoro began to direct Conan to take pictures of the scene, photos of corpses, and photos of evidence with reference objects.

Chi Feichi silently began to install evidence.

A prajna paper figure with a kimono sleeve, a piece of paper with a message printed on it, calling Ansai Ema to the ancestral hall.

Conan turned up the photo of the snow footprints in the digital camera, and leaned forward, ready to let Chi Feichi take a look, "Brother Chi, the footprints on the snow seem a little strange..."

"What's so strange?" Kogoro Mori bent over to look.

"I just don't know what's weird..." Conan pretended to be a childish ignorant, "But it just doesn't feel right!"

Mouri Kogoro stared at Conan and wanted to hammer, "You brat..."

Chi Feichi collected the evidence, handed the evidence bag to the police station in Kokura, stood up and said, "Those footprints that are suspected to be left by Miss Anxi are about five centimeters deep, and the footprints left by the teacher and Conan after that, probably have Nine centimeters."

Conan looked down at the photo in the camera.

It turns out that this fellow Chi Feichi also noticed it. Looking at it this way, it is indeed a matter of the depth of the footprints...

"What's so strange about that?" Kogoro Mouri touched his chin and said, "Probably the footprints left by Miss Anxi were covered with snow, and then we left footprints..."

"However, the three people in the saloon said that Miss Anxi went through the saloon to the ancestral hall after 10:30 p.m., and it didn't snow until about 12 p.m. when we went to the ancestral hall and left footprints. ," Conan reminded aloud, "and if the footprints are covered by snow, it will leave a layer of snow in the footprint pit, and the footprints will not be so clear."

"That's because the snow on the upper layer of the footprint pit has melted." Mouri Kogoro said again.

Conan looked up at Mouri Kogoro, and reminded him again in a childish voice, "In that case, the snow we stepped on should also melt to the extent that it is similar to the footprint snow pit, and the footprints we left should also be about five centimeters. what."

"Well..." Mouri Kogoro rubbed his chin and thought, "Well..."

Conan turned his head to look at the towels covering the snow outside the gate of the ancestral hall, and then looked down at the photos of footprints in the camera.

The murderer did not leave footprints on the snow, it should be similar.

First call Anxi Eema here, then cover the footprints left by Anxi Eema with a hard board, and walk on the hard board by yourself. You only need to use two boards alternately, and you can move to the entrance of the ancestral hall without leaving footprints. After killing, go back in the same way.

In this way, above and around the snow where Anxi Ema left footprints, the snow was compacted by the weight of wooden boards and people, and it was a few centimeters lighter than the footprints they left later...

"Maybe the snow there is a little lighter," Kogoro Mouri continued to guess, "or maybe the road is inclined, so of course her footprints are lighter than ours!"

Conan didn't refute ~www.NovelMTL.com~ The former is unrealistic, the latter is possible, but I don't feel that the road surface is obviously inclined, and the depth of the footprints should not be that much worse...

"Okay, let's hurry up and go to the open-air hot spring," Kogoro Mori turned around and walked out, "Don't linger."

The four of them went to the open-air hot spring where Shibasaki Asuka was dead.

Conan is too short to take pictures of footprints on the snow, but it is not easy to wading into the hot spring water to take pictures of corpses.

Maori Kogoro took over the job of taking pictures, took pictures of the corpse from various angles, and waited for the police stationed in Kokura and Chi Feichi to find evidence and take pictures of the evidence.

At the bottom of the hot spring, there is a knife that has been specially manufactured. There are circles of lines on the handle. After a rough comparison, it should be the murder weapon that killed Shibasaki Asuka and Anxi Ema.

There was also a stapler sinking at the bottom of the hot spring, similar to the wound on the back of Shibasaki Asuka's head where she was attacked.

In addition, it was a printed towel floating in the water with blood stains.
