Conan: I Am Not a Snake Spirit

"It's alright, I think you will be too worried about Mr. Mouri and rush over here, so I'll come over and check, if you're not feeling well, I can help you investigate," Natsuki Yueshui and Mo Lilan walked towards the sofa, He smiled, "After all, I'm also a detective!"

"I just got a cut on my shoulder, it's not that serious," Chi Feichi sat down in front of the sofa, raised his head and asked Mao Lilan, "What about Teacher Maoli?"

"He went to the racetrack early in the morning," Ma Lilan said with a speechless face, and then apologized, "I'm really sorry, Brother Feichi, Sister Nanatsuki, I made you worry, but my father doesn't seem to have it. Affected, you sit down first, and I'll go get you some tea."

"I have something to tell the teacher." Chi Feichi said.

Mao Lilan, who went to the tea room, looked back in confusion, "Huh?"

"I also have something I want to ask Mr. Mouri," Koshimizu Nanatsuki sat on the sofa and turned to look at Maurilan in the pantry, "Is the report about Mr. Mouri's death of the client too detailed? One point? As a detective, Mr. Mauri should not reveal the content of the commission. The police have not finished the investigation and will not disclose the case to the outside world. However, the report not only explained the content of the commission, but also the situation of Mr. Pu Sheng who committed suicide. It also mentioned some inside information that is difficult for other people to find out, such as Mr. Pu Sheng was wronged by the police five years ago..."

"Do you suspect that the people involved in this incident are deliberately trying to trouble me?" Kogoro Mouri came in from the door, followed by a tall, middle-aged man in a brown suit, "I saw it downstairs. Fei-chi's car was just wondering if he was here, but I didn't expect you to be here, Miss Yueshui."

"Yeah," Mao Lilan stood at the door of the pantry, half-moon glanced at Maori Kogoro, "Everyone is worried about you, but you ran to bet on horses... eh?"

The middle-aged man behind Maori Kogoro smiled and said, "Xiao Lan, long time no see!"

"You are... Mr. Takeoka? Long time no see!" Mao Lilan came forward to greet him in surprise, and then introduced Chi Feichi and Yueshui Nanatsuki with a smile, "This is my father's former friend Takeoka Takeoka, who used to be a former friend of mine. A police officer who resigned five years ago."

"I quit my job because of a problem with my job. I happened to meet Maori at the racetrack today and came to disturb me," Takeoka Isao smiled, raised his hand and scratched his head, "I made everyone laugh."

"Zhuoka, let me introduce to you, this is my disciple Chi Feichi," Mouri Kogoro looked in a good mood and smiled, "This is Miss Yueshui, a young female detective!"

"Hello."

"Hello."

Chi Feichi and Yueshui Nanatsu stood up to greet Takeoka Isao.

"Hello," Takeoka Xun responded with a smile, looked at Conan again, and asked in surprise, "Mori, I remember five years ago, you and your wife didn't seem to have a son, right?"

"You misunderstood," Mouri Kogoro smiled and stretched out his hand to rub Conan's hair, "This kid is just a child living in my house, just call him Conan!"

Conan was speechless at the introduction of Kogoro Mouri. Although it was true, he always felt that he was treated as an outsider. Because Takeoka was watching, he still smiled and said hello, "Mr. Takeoka, hello."

"Okay, let's all sit down!" Kogoro Mori greeted a group of people with a smile and greeted them to sit down, "Xiao Lan, Mr. Takeoka brought you a present!"

Takeoka Xun put a large box of animal biscuits on the table and smiled, "If I had known that Maori was so lively here, I would have brought two more boxes here."

"Sure enough, it's animal biscuits..." Mao Lilan smiled and heard the sound of water boiling, and hurriedly turned back to the pantry, "Wait, I'll make tea!"

After Yueshui Nanatsuki sat down, he looked up at Kogoro Mouri, "Mr. Mouri, then what I said before..."

"Hmph, someone deliberately told the reporter this inside story," Mouri Kogoro looked unhappy, "Probably because of a guilty conscience, Mr. Pu Sheng did not commit suicide, but was killed by someone else."

"Suicide?" Koshimizu Nanatsuki wondered.

"I'll start from the beginning," Mouri Kogoro looked at Chi Feichi, "the day after we came back from Kamakura, I borrowed Mr. Pu Sheng's phone, and he asked me to go out the next night to discuss in detail, you When I brought the panda doll over to me, I seemed to have told you, but you were busy delivering dolls to everyone, so you didn't come with me that night."

Chi Fei nodded, confirming that he still remembered this incident.

"I went to the agreed izakaya by myself that night and met Mr. Pu Sheng. He said that the police suspected that he was related to the death of the owner of the art store who was killed half a month ago. When the police asked him about the situation, he was anxious and said He was worried that the police would find him lying, and the situation would be even more unfavorable for him, so he entrusted me to secretly go to Akebono to find a witness who could give him an alibi," Mouri Kogoro spread his hands helplessly, "I've been investigating for the next few days, and Mr. Pu Sheng said he didn't use his mobile phone, he left the number of the detective office, and called every night to see if the investigation was progressing, but I really didn't get anything here, until the night before yesterday, he called and said that he was desperate, and then yesterday morning, the police found his body in a park far away from his home..."

Yueshui Nanatsuki touched his chin and recalled, "I remember that the report said that Mr. Pu Sheng committed suicide by hanging himself."

"Yeah, but that place is in the woods in the park. At night, the lights can't shine there at all. When he found the body, there was a flashlight at his feet, and it was far away from his home. Isn't it strange for a ten-year-old man to take a flashlight and a rope to commit suicide so far away in the park and woods at night?" Kogoro Mouri analyzed, "That's why I judged that he did not commit suicide. The murderer took advantage of his anxious thoughts. To prove his innocence, he also took advantage of the desperation he said when he called me, and took the opportunity to kill him."

Mao Lilan went out with tea and put the tea on the table.

"It's very suspicious to say that," Koshimizu Nanatsuki pondered and asked again, "Mr. Mori must have a target of suspicion, right? For example, if you want to know what Mr. Pusheng entrusted you to investigate, Mr. Anxious mood, it must be someone he can trust, who has a conflict with Mr. Pu Sheng, or someone who can benefit from Mr. Pu Sheng's death..."

"Yes, Mr. Pusheng's nephew, Mr. Arai," said Kogoro Mouri, "he seems to have had a dispute with Mr. Pusheng not long ago. According to the police, Mr. Pusheng has no children. If Mr. Pusheng dies, then He can inherit a large estate, and when we went to investigate, he seemed to insist that Mr. Pu Sheng committed suicide."

"If anyone resents Mr. Pusheng, it's probably me," Takeoka Isao said suddenly, seeing Koshimizu Nanatsuki and Chi Feichi looking at him and smiling, "Mr. Pusheng was arrested five years ago, after that He was acquitted again. This incident seems to have been mentioned in the report. At that time, the policeman who resigned due to a mistake was me. Although it was an unreasonable anger, I also had resentment towards him. This could also be the motive for the murder. "

Mouri Kogoro looked serious, looked at Takeoka Xun and said, "Where were you the night before yesterday?"

Takeoka Xun asked calmly, "When is the estimated time of death?"

"Around nine o'clock in the evening." Maori Kogoro said sternly.

"It's a pity," Takeoka Xun laughed, "I made an appointment with a friend at 8:30 the night before yesterday, and we stayed together until midnight."

"I was alone at the hotel the night before yesterday," Koshimizu Nanatsuki recalled, "but around nine o'clock in the evening, I asked the room attendant to help me deliver new towels to the room."

Chi Feichi thought for a while and couldn't say what the criminals like Jinjiu said. He didn't have an alibi, "I play games at home alone."

"I said..." Mouri Kogoro glanced at the two of them for a long time. "What does this have to do with you? You don't know Mr. Pu Sheng, do you?"

"I want to help Mr. Mouri," Koshisui Nanatsuki said with a smile, "If it's impossible for me to commit the crime, then I can help you investigate!"

"You don't have to worry about this. On the way back, I agreed with Takeoka, and his help is enough." Mouri Kogoro waved his hand, stood up and walked to the door with Takeoka Takeoka. The genius is injured, so let's take a good rest, as for Detective Yueshui, if you are free, it is enough to help me entertain the kid and the wounded here."

"Teacher," Chi Feichi didn't get up, turned his head and said, "Arai Kyosuke..."

When he walked to the door, Kogoro Mouri was stunned and turned around in surprise, "Mr. Pu Sheng's nephew? Do you know him?"

"I don't know, but on the way I came, I called and asked the newspaper that issued the report, who wrote the report, and who gave him the information. He said it was Kyosuke Arai, a publishing company. The editor of the company," Chi Feichi said, looking at Mouri Kogoro, "Kyosuke Arai is an insider and knows a lot of reporters. I'm here to tell you this."

Mouri Kogoro's mouth twitched slightly.

I almost forgot~www.NovelMTL.com~ His apprentice is also very energetic in this regard, he is not an insider, but you can contact the person in charge of the newspaper directly and find out that Kyosuke Arai has no pressure at all...

"Also, if someone is causing trouble or resistance to you in terms of public opinion, you can tell me." Chi Feichi added calmly.

"Understood," Mouri Kogoro felt like a child who was taken care of by his apprentice in many ways, and went out with a black line, "We've gone to investigate, you can rest in peace."

Takeoka Xun followed and asked in a low voice curiously, "Mori, does your apprentice work in a place like a newspaper office?"

"No, he's a veterinarian." Maori Kogoro said.

Takeoka Xun was a little confused, "Veterinarian?"

Arriving downstairs, Mouri Kogoro looked at the red sports car parked downstairs speechlessly, "The eldest young master who also serves as the chairman of a certain group."

"No wonder..." Takeoka Xun smiled helplessly.

It can be seen that Maori is very happy now.
