Conan: I Am Not a Snake Spirit
Chapter 1740: A witch's thing is a witch's
Remember [New] for a second,! "Xiao Ai will also pay attention to this," Mao Lilan laughed and found Qishui Nanatsuki staring at him, and smiled again, "But no, I promised Sister Nanatsuki not to say it."
"Wow!"
In front of the window, the exclamations of the three children made the speechless Hai Yuanai turn around and look over. . .
The cruise ship crosses the cable-stayed bridge, and the spectacular marina emerges.
In the mist, luxury cruise ships from all over the world stopped at the pier. The rows of white cruise ships are like white swans staying on the water, very imposing.
After getting off the cruise ship, a group of talented people turned back to their senses, looked back at the pier, and were quickly attracted by the lively Chinatown not far away.
Mao Lilan and Yueshui Nanatsu insisted on going to the graves before going to dinner. Dr. A Li had to take the three hungry children to the Chinatown restaurant to occupy a seat.
As for Mouri Kogoro, Conan, and Haibara Ai, rather than worrying about the two girls going to the grave, they wanted to see if they could hear any news.
After all, Mao Lilan's karate is not easy to mess with, and Yueshui Qiqi also carried the black Tang knife on her back...
The two people who were sweeping the tomb did not mention their dreams on the way. When they arrived at the cemetery, they quickly found Elizabeth's tomb full of bouquets.
While waiting, a panicked cry of the old man suddenly came from the thick fog.
Conan immediately chased into the fog, and saw a man in a black robe who seemed to be holding up something sharp, intending to stab an old man who fell to the ground, shouted loudly to frighten the other party, and vaguely saw a black robe under the hood. Zhang's terrifying face was burned, but because of the fog, he couldn't catch up with him.
The tomb-sweeping team did not stop at the cemetery, but sent back the old man who introduced himself as "Joji Miura".
After Miura Joji returned to the office, he relaxed and introduced himself, "I am a lawyer, and I usually have people here to help, but today is a holiday, so there is nothing to entertain you, everyone, please take a seat."
Mouri Kogoro looked at the old sofa with exposed cotton, and took the lead to sit down.
Miura Joji was a little embarrassed, but after exchanging business cards with Mouri Kogoro, he immediately became excited, "You, are you that famous detective Mouri Kogoro?"
"Oops," Mouri Kogoro smiled and scratched his head, "Has my fame spread here?"
"Of course," Miura Joji hurriedly said, "You are very famous in Jiang Shenyuan!"
Mouri Kogoro laughed proudly, "Hahaha...is that so..."
"Dad, don't take care of yourself," Mo Lilan said with a black line, looked at Yueshui Nanatsuki again, and smiled at Miura Joji, "Sister Nanatsuki is also a detective, although she is not very famous, But it's also great."
"Really? That's great," Miura Joji excitedly said, "Actually, I have something I want to ask the two detectives for help!"
"Need help with something?" Kogoro Mori closed his smile.
Koshimizu Nanatsuki also became serious, "Is it related to the incident you were attacked this morning?"
Haibara sighed inwardly.
When she saw the Chinatown restaurant before, she wondered if Brother Feichi would regret hearing about it, but now she began to think that Brother Feichi was lucky.
They went to the hot springs in Hyogo Prefecture, and they also encountered incidents. When they came here, it seemed that they had to solve the incident, and there would not be much sightseeing atmosphere at all...
"I think it has something to do with it." Miura Joji got up, took out a handkerchief and put it in his hand, took out an envelope from the first drawer of the desk, and handed it to Mouri Kogoro, "I found this this morning. ."
Mouri Kogoro took out the handkerchief from his pocket, and suddenly regretted that the apprentice who could hand him the gloves was not there, took the envelope, opened it and looked at the letter inside.
On the letter paper are the words cut out from newspapers and magazines:
[Witch's things are witch's. If you want to get it, no matter where you are, you will be cursed by the witch, and your heart will be poached alive! 】
"What is the witch's thing?" Kogoro Mori looked up at Joji Miura in confusion.
"Probably refers to the legacy of a lady who passed away two days ago," Miura Joji said helplessly, "She was called a witch by the people here during her lifetime."
"Oh?" Mori Kogoro guessed that the inheritance was not much, and asked casually, "So, how much inheritance did that witch leave?"
"Let me think about it," Miura Joji calculated, "the savings she left alone should be 500 million yen, and she owns a lot of real estate, which is one of the best in Jiangshenyuan. 2 billion yen."
"2 billion?" Maori Kogoro almost jumped off the sofa.
"This is a threat," Koshimizu Nanatsuki looked at the letter. "It doesn't look like a joke."
Conan took the opportunity to take out the handkerchief, put it in his hand, picked up the envelope and looked at it, "I thought I saw the black-robed man who attacked Mr. Miura just now, holding some sharp weapon in his hand."
Chi Fei is not here, so he has to communicate with Detective Yue Shui for clues. Detective Yue Shui is still very keen.
After Mouri Kogoro returned to his senses, he couldn't help but ask, "Who the **** is this lady?"
"Her name is Elizabeth Montgomery, the old lady who opened a herbal medicine shop in Jiangshenyuan." Miura Joji said.
"Elizabeth?" Upon hearing this, Maurilan chatted with Joji Miura about the book "Secrets of European Herbs", only to realize that Joji Miura had also visited Elizabeth's grave before.
After listening to it for a while, Mouri Kogoro felt that the 'witch' was still the key, and asked earnestly, "Can you tell me more about this witch?"
Joji Miura nodded and recalled, "Although I am her counselor, I am very embarrassed. I really don't know much about her growth history, because she was stubborn before her death and would not tell anything casually. Others have her past, but one thing is certain, she has lived in Jiangshenyuan as early as the Meiji period."
"Meiji period?" Mouri Kogoro asked in surprise, "Then she must be over a hundred years old?"
"Yes, although she wasn't very visible from her appearance before she got sick, she was definitely over a hundred years old," Miura Joji said, "I once had the pleasure of chatting with a 90-year-old man, who is said to know the best Elizabeth's person, he said that since he can remember, Elizabeth has opened a herbal medicine shop in Jiangshenyuan. My grandfather came here from Belgium 85 years ago, so Elizabeth's time here must be longer than that Much earlier."
Mouri Kogoro looked at Joji Miura's chestnut hair, high nose bridge and dark blue eyes, "So your grandfather is also a foreigner."
"Yeah," Miura Joji said, "My grandfather built this house with all his hard work, but my house is far from hers. I heard that her house was originally owned by a European Viscount. The descendants, but the noble families who are fake, but I heard that their family loves nature very much and has been using herbal medicine to heal the local people, but this behavior is not recognized by the king and the church, because the land under their family's rule is very rich , the king coveted, so their family was judged as a witch, and in order to escape the king's persecution, they came to the foreign mansion area of Jiangshenyuan, and their life has been very low-key."
"Then she's called a witch, isn't she talking nonsense?" Mouri Kogoro rubbed his chin. "By the way, who will inherit the inheritance worth 2 billion yuan?"
"There are three people, but they are not related to her by blood," Miura Joji said, "She seems to have no descendants in Jiangshenyuan, only Miss Tsurumi Yezi who was adopted since she was a child. She was brought up by me. A beautiful and kind girl with a beautiful heart, I am also very surprised that Elizabeth does not leave her inheritance."
"Can you be more specific, what kind of people are the three people left in the will?" Koshimizu Nanatsuki asked aloud.
"These three have grown up in Jiangshenyuan for generations since their ancestors," Miura Joji laughed, "I heard that they formed a young detective team when they were young, and they are good friends who have always played together."
"The Young Detectives?" Conan was very sensitive to this.
Koshimizu Nanatsu couldn't help but look at Conan.
This is the juvenile detective team from many years ago, meeting the juvenile detective team of today's era, right?
Immediately afterwards, Miura Joji introduced the names of the three people as 'Three Saints', and said that if the three and their families could not inherit the inheritance, Tsurumi Tsurumi and Sakuragi Gong would inherit it in order, and he said, "If Sakura cannot inherit the inheritance. If Father Mu gives up the inheritance, then I will become the property manager, and in my personal judgment, I will donate the money to the most suitable charity."
"Really..." Mouri Kogoro thought for a while, "Then do you think that you were attacked by the gangster just now because your name was written in the will?"
"Yes," Miura Joji said sternly, "but the one just now was definitely not a gangster, but a witch!"
"Hahaha, that lady Elizabeth is rightly called a witch, but she has already passed away, isn't she?" Kogoro Mori said in disbelief, "Where is there any witch now?"
"That's right, but..." Miura Joji frowned with cold sweat on his forehead, "Actually, the day before Ms. Elizabeth passed away, she asked Miss Tsurumi to come to me, saying that she wanted to revise her will and want to transfer all her inheritance. Give it to the young men and women who came to Jiang Shen a few days ago."
"Huh?" Conan felt a problem~www.NovelMTL.com~ couldn't help asking, "Will it be her descendant?"
Imagine if Elizabeth had descendants who came here before Elizabeth died and learned that Elizabeth left her inheritance to people who are not related by blood, it is possible to have a story of 'revenge'.
"It doesn't look like it, Elizabeth said they are friends, and I see their attitude towards Elizabeth is also very strange," Miura Joji looked strange for a moment, and seemed to be unbelievable, "When I was talking to Elizabeth, the two of them happened to arrive. , and also refused to inherit the inheritance. The Mr. Chi went directly into the house and said, "Elizabeth did not discuss with us, she made her own decision. Do you think it is appropriate?" The other Miss Koizumi looked very angry, even more so. Asking Elizabeth whether she used money to humiliate them or humiliate their friendship, how could this not be an attitude towards elders? And Elizabeth was like a child who did something wrong at the time, saying that she just wanted to repay their help, but I still listen to them and let me keep my will as it was."
quiet.
Maurilan looked at Koshimi Nanatsuki who was sitting beside him, and then looked at Haibara Ai, Conan, and Mouri Kogoro.
"The surname Chi..." The indifferent face of his apprentice appeared in Maori Kogoro's mind, and he tentatively probed, "It doesn't seem to be rare."
