Conan: I Am Not a Snake Spirit

"Yes," the administrator smiled and sighed again, "that was when Mr. Motomachi was still alive, he seemed to bring Mr. Chi to find some photos, and asked someone to make a photocopy of the photos, and then Ms. Elizabeth passed away. Now, he was busy for two days before sending that photo to the room to Mr. Chi."

"What pictures are they looking for?"

Conan pretended to be innocent and curious, and wondered if it had something to do with this incident, "Are the two of them the only ones who came here at the time?"

For example, Chi Fei came here late for another purpose. He was investigating something with Motomachi Kiyozo, but just after finding important clues, Motomachi Kiyozo died...

In that case, he would have to consider whether the direction of the investigation of the incident should be changed.

The administrator recalled, "That day, Ms. Elizabeth, Ms. Tsurumi, Mr. Oyama, and the lady who had left were all present. It seemed that Ms. Elizabeth was taking them on a tour of Jiangshenyuan, and Mr. Chi suddenly mentioned some photo, and they immediately stopped. We came here together, and since Mr. Motomachi personally received them, I don't know exactly what the photo was."

"yes……"

As soon as Conan heard that so many people were present, he knew that his guess was wrong. If it was a secret discussion and investigation, it would be impossible to bring so many people. How many days? Did she actually take Brother Chi and the others to visit Jiangshenyuan in person?"

"It was about two days before Ms. Elizabeth died," the administrator sighed. "Actually, Ms. Elizabeth has been ill for a long time. Mr. Chi and the others seemed to be in a lot of energy during the two days when they came here. Some people speculate that this old man who is over 100 years old is over 100 years old. Will it be possible to perform miracles again? Some people say that it is just a return to light, but Ms. Elizabeth is considered to be dead, and she did not suffer any guilt when she died..."

Conan nodded, thinking that "return to the light" is reasonable, so he didn't take it to heart, and sat down at the table to open the copy of the newspaper and read it.

During the period, the hotel manager came once and asked someone to bring afternoon tea and a plate of snacks, and left without much disturbance.

Haibara Ai sat aside, drinking afternoon tea leisurely, and waited for Conan to read all the copies of the newspaper before saying, "I remember Mr. Dashan mentioned to us that they have already found out about the Sophia incident that year. 's newspaper, you deliberately didn't go back to your room, and went here to secretly read it again, do you suspect that there is something wrong with them?"

"Please, I just want to see if I have overlooked anything," Conan raised his hand and rubbed his eyebrows, "I won't go back, I'm just worried about Yuan Tai and the others pestering me to ask questions, and now I don't understand the murderer's method of killing at all. , I'm really not in the mood to explain anything to them... By the way, since Yuan Tai saw me in the lobby on the first floor, why didn't they come over?"

"My doctor and I guessed that you were not in the mood to deal with them, and told them that Brother Feichi was sleeping in the room. It would be very dangerous to leave Brother Feichi alone, but it is impossible for everyone to leave anyone behind, so why don't you The living room of the suite is waiting for you to bring the clues back, so it might be holding them back temporarily," Haibara Ai reminded with some schadenfreude, "So if you don't gain anything, I'm afraid it will be difficult to get rid of their entanglement, then, look again. Have you found any of these newspapers?"

"No, it is worth noting that some teenage children were seen fleeing at the time, which had been discovered before. Also, the above only said that Sophia's body was found, and did not mention the baby's body, Based on the police force in those years, it should be tacitly agreed that Sophia's son was burned to death together, but Mr. Miura also said that during that time, Elizabeth often went to help Sophia take care of the child. Escaped..." Conan said, got up and walked to the bookshelf, looked at the books on it, found a photo album from the dust traces, and took it back to the table, "After that, Elizabeth, for some reason, hid him In the matter of being alive, after decades, he heard some secrets of his mother's death from somewhere, so he took revenge on the detective team back then, which was also what he thought of before."

"Calculate the age, that child should be in his sixties now, and there are many people in Jiang Shenyuan who have reached this age," Haibara thought sadly, looking at Conan who was flipping through the album, "Father Sakuragi who has been taking care of Miss Tsurumi. It is doubtful, but it may be his personality. There should be no clues in the album. The child was only about one year old at that time. Even if there were pictures, they were only pictures of his infancy. It is difficult to guess who he is now. Even if you hand it over to a doctor and use software to make his 60-year-old appearance, it is unlikely to get accurate results..."

"Yeah, I didn't expect any clues in the album, I was just a little curious about what photo Brother Chi was looking for, put the case aside for a while to let my brain cool down, that's not bad, and this album was recently stolen by someone. I took it down, it should be..." Conan stopped while flipping through the album, looked at a black and white photo above, found that it was copied and printed recently, and pulled out the photo out of curiosity.

Haiyuan Ai looked sideways and saw the signature on the back of the photo, "Huh?"

"What's wrong?" Conan turned over the photo, looked at the signatures of '.Field', 'Michell', 'Xiumi', and the date of '1952.5', a little surprised, "I remember Brother Chi said that his grandmother The name is..."

"Anastasia Hessel Field, the abbreviation is .Field..." Haibara Ai read it out in a soft voice, looking at the lazy woman in the photo, the corners of her mouth could not help revealing With a smile, "So domineering, my godmother has two completely different styles."

Conan looked at the black and white photo in his hand and turned into a curious baby, "Then the other two..."

"This man is probably Brother Fei Chi's grandfather," Hai Yuanai looked at the gentle-looking man in the photo, looked down at the boy in the photo, and said, "As for this child, I don't know very well. ."

"It seems that the three of them are very close, and they look like a family no matter what," Conan looked at the hands of the woman and the boy in the photo, and asked curiously, "Is Mrs. Kanai not the only child?"

"I don't know, she didn't mention the godmother," Hai Yuan looked at the three people in the photo, "When this photo was taken, my godmother had not yet been born, this boy should be about ten years older than her, if he It's my godmother's brother, and my godmother doesn't have to worry about inheriting the Field family's estate, right?"

"Because I haven't heard of any other heir to the Field family, everyone assumes that Mrs. Ganai is the only child, but if you calculate the age, Mrs. Anastasia was about forty years old when she gave birth to Mrs. Ganai. Centuries ago, very few people gave birth to their first child at the age of forty," Conan asked seriously, looking at the boy in the photo, "and don't you think this photo is a bit strange?"

"Strange?" Haiyuan Ai looked up and down at the person in the photo, not even letting go of the background. .

"I mean this boy's eyes," Conan reminded, frowning, "When I first saw the photo, I thought his eyes were very strange. focal length."

"You mean to say that because the older child in the family has a physical defect, it makes sense to let the younger daughter inherit the family business, right?" Haiyuan said sadly, "But I have never listened to Brother Feichi and The godmother mentioned that there is such a number one person in the family, and I have never heard anyone say that the godmother has a brother, isn't that strange?"

Conan thought that Chi Feichi seemed to walk freely in the dark after being incarnated in July, and he became more and more suspicious that the boy in the photo had a close relationship with Chi Feichi, and then thought of some of Chi Feichi's previous actions, he couldn't help laughing, "It's very strange, I I think my previous guess was half right, Brother Chi may have other purposes when he arrived at Jiang Shenyuan..."

Suddenly, I brought Dashan Mi and a girl to Jiangshenyuan. Maybe Chi Feichi and the girl knew Elizabeth long ago. They came to visit Elizabeth, who might not be able to survive this time, but Chi Feichi came here to find this photo and let him. Motomachi Seizo left a photocopy, took the original photo himself, and proposed to go to the library to investigate, and he did come out from the Jiangshenyuan Historical Celebrity Notebook Collection Area...

He suspects that another purpose of Chi Fei's late coming to Jiang Shenyuan is to follow the traces of his ancestors. That's reasonable, right?

But it shouldn't have anything to do with this case.

The two discussed it. When Conan put the album back on the bookshelf, he found that there was a book on the other side that had been taken out recently. He stepped forward and took out the book, "The history of Jiang Shenyuan's opening of Hong Kong?"

"Brother Zhi Feichi saw it at that time?" Haibara Ai was speechless at the curiosity of a certain famous detective, and was even more speechless at Conan not investigating the case and turning to investigate Chi Feichi, but when he stepped forward to see After seeing the traces on the bookshelf, I changed my mind~www.NovelMTL.com~ The dust on the shelf has not been touched by anyone for at least a month. This book will not be read by Brother Fei Chi. "

"Yeah~www.NovelMTL.com~ Conan opened the book, looked down at the content, and walked back to the table," the administrator said that only Brother Chi had been here recently, and he was talking about the last few days. Look at the traces, this person I came here more than a month earlier than Brother Chi... Huh? ! "

"This is..." Haiyuan sadly saw Conan's expression froze, and leaned over in doubt, "The route map of the city gas pipeline before Jiang Shenyuan?"

Conan stared at the old blueprint in the pages of the book, put the blueprint and the book on the table with a solemn expression, opened the blueprint, and pointed to a spot above, "This is the Jiangshenyuan Elementary School when Mr. Toda died, originally a school In the house of the rich, the gas pipeline used to pass through the basement. At that time, the gas pipeline was supposed to be used to light the lights, but after the city was connected to the electricity, the gas pipeline was abandoned, but what method could the murderer use to make Mr. Toda Fall asleep, then pour tap water into the basement through the gas pipe, wait for the tap water to submerge to a certain height, and then inject the scent of elderflower into it..."

"This is a hotel," Haibara Ai pointed to another location. "The previous gas pipelines also passed through, but only in part of the first floor. The murderer could block the pipelines in other directions and inject some kind of flammable gas into the pipelines. Explosive gas, fill Mr. Motomachi's room with that gas, and then wait for Mr. Motomachi to ignite when he smokes."
