Conan: I Am Not a Snake Spirit

Late at night, 2 am.

A car drove quickly through Mission Hill, passed the hospital where Joshua once lived, and stopped by the side of the road after not driving far.

"Master, would he really hide in such a place?"

Feichi looked out of the car window, "There's a church over there, and it's not far from the hospital where he lived before. This place isn't too remote, it's easy to find, right?"

"It's dark under the lights," Chi Feichi looked at the building complex on the left side of the street, "he left the hospital at night, and it was not until the next morning that the hospital found out that he was missing, and he was never found. After that, the hospital called the police and told the police. After the church, the police and the church began to look for him, and it was easy to ignore this kind of place, because when they wanted to come, Joshua was far enough away in one night, and the police are now considering whether he has been killed by someone else."

"Is it possible that he was really killed?" Feimo asked.

"Yes," Chi Feichi said, "but aside from the possibility of him being killed, he may be hiding here. In that case, the murderer was shot to death on the spot for resisting when he was arrested. After the case was closed, it existed. There are many doubts, such as where the murderer's weapon was purchased, the police have not obtained the corresponding testimony, and judging from the old photos, the deceased was pierced to death by a spear nailed to the ground, but there were a lot of cuts on his body, and the scene was The blood left in the room does not match the amount of blood from the two people..."

"The murderer took the blood?" Fei Mo smacked his lips.

When human beings are twisted, it is terrifying.

"The police also judged the same, and also did a blood reaction test at his house," Chi Fei paused, "No, except for the room at the scene of the crime, there was no blood reaction anywhere or on any container, so the police guessed, He was directly talking..."

Fei Mo: "..."

Feichi wondered, "What's wrong with talking directly?"

Fei Mo: "Fei Chi, shut up."

"Pay attention to a few details."

Chi Feichi did not compete with the two pets and continued to analyze.

"In the photos we looked at before, there was a photo of a study room. There were some books about vampires on the bookcase. From the book cover, we could see that the books were flipped. The books that were hardly flipped were some reckless and vulgar books by vampires. The ones that are flipped more are "The Vampyre", "", ""."

"These three books are classics."

"The Vampyre" was written by an English poet's personal doctor in 1819. The book transforms the vampire protagonist from a murderous corpse into an image of an English aristocrat."

"' is a novella by a British bizarre writer from 1971 to 1972, which portrays the female vampire protagonist as beautiful and charming."

"", Dracula, is a Gothic horror novel by an Irish writer in 1897. The protagonist Dracula in the book is a gentle, elegant and decent gentleman, which is also the basis for many vampire film and television adaptations."

"The second detail, the things on the collection shelf, there is a set of Romanian traditional costumes, Romania has always been the most complicated place for vampire superstition, in the novel "Dracula", Dracula's residence is also in Transi, Romania Vania, coupled with the description of the case, the two victims were nailed to the head, which is an old Roman custom to prevent the dead from turning into vampires, indicating that he went to Romania specially."

"The third detail, judging from the introduction on the post, the murderer used to be a very successful businessman. Looking at all the photos, the room was neat and tidy, and the things were carefully placed, and the clothes in the closet were ironed without any wrinkles. , The decoration has a retro charm, and even the crime scene, there is not too much messy blood. The photos were taken after the place was abandoned, and the condition of the corpse was not photographed, but only a little blood was left on the ground under the spear at the crime scene. , the rest of the place is too clean."

"In addition to the fact that the murderer used puncture to kill people, it can be seen that this is a person who pays great attention to the quality of life and worships elegant vampires, especially Dracula, after his brain is pumped."

Chi Feichi concluded, "It's hard to believe that such a person would talk directly, especially when I heard that the two deceased... are homeless."

This case was also a representative of madness. In Boston that year, vampire-related culture was also attacked to a certain extent.

This kind of thing is really hard to tell. Some people just watch some works for fun, while a very small number of people just become snake spirits.

But people are also good at forgetting. This case was only discussed for a while that year, and then the popularity was replaced by various cases, and related posts were almost sinking to the bottom of the sea.

If he hadn't had the patience to rummage, he wouldn't have been able to find the details of this case.

"The blood and the blood-filled thing..." Feimo tilted his head and thought, "Did he throw it away? No, if the murderer really worshipped vampires, he shouldn't throw those..."

"There is a place in this house that the police did not find, it may be a secret room," Chi Feichi concluded, "After the murder here, Joshua once came to represent the church, and he may have found the house left by the former owner. Chamber of Secrets."

"It's dark under the lights again, and it's the mystery of the case a few years ago. It's really not easy for Joshua to think so much," Feimo looked at Chi Feichi, "but, Master, will this be your stand? What choice would Joshua make in his position? In fact, he didn't think about it so much, and he ran away a long time ago..."

"No, I won't make this choice. There is no food to hide here. I have to go out, and I will be found out. If I want to run away, I will choose to leave here early, even if the police will lock me based on information such as taxis. Where to go, but find a remote place for a few laps, and find a way to get rid of it, and Joshua did not commit any serious crime, but only said some remarks that the church did not like. He just said that he wanted to live a peaceful life, and it would be better to retire in that small place," Chi Feichi looked at the building complex, "I judged that he is here because the police have not found any clues that he left Boston, and he has never been taught. If found, the church searches other places very strictly, if he is in other places, it is very likely that he has been found, and those places can be ruled out, only this is left..."

"Would he have died without food?" Feimo asked.

Chi Feichi opened the car window, "Then you have to go and see."

"Master, won't you come with me?" Feimo was embarrassed, "I don't know human language, so I can't communicate."

"No wonder you insisted on letting me take you here..."

Chi Feichi is not very interested in this kind of pretending to be a ghost, and as a human, his appearance may destroy the mystery, but he is also willing to help Feimo when necessary.

"Okay, go take a look first and find that hidden place."

Chi Feichi made a decision and didn't hesitate any longer. He went to the trunk of the car to find the black robe and mask, put them on, and walked into the alley.

...

There are not many residents near the old house, and there is not a single person on the street late at night.

Under the dim street lights, the melting snow dripped from the eaves and the walls, and a shrill cat meow was heard from time to time in the distance.

Chi Feichi passed through the unlocked gate, looked up at a car parked in the courtyard, and approached quietly.

There's still heat on the hood...

There are no traces of cars going in and out repeatedly in the yard...

It's not the car of the godfather, and it won't be a car that a 60-year-old would choose. The car still has a pendant from a pop band in Boston five or six years ago...

Small black gravel stuck on the wheel...

Sun marks on the car, tiny scratches on the rear of the car, mud on the fenders, the spacing of the car seats, the faint smell from the car, the stains under the rear windshield...

A... male guest, about 30 years old, visiting for the first time, not long after arriving from Port Beach.

"Master," said Fei Chi, who was hiding under a black robe to keep warm, "there was someone in the attic, not under the roof triangle, but under the sloping roof on the right side. It seems that the top of the room below was pulled down by design. Some, leaving a space for, um... two people."

"There's a guest here." Chi Feichi left the car, walked towards the house, and repeated Feichi's words to Feimo in a soft voice.

Fei Mo consciously flew up in the air and circled around the top of the house, trying to find a place where he could first observe the situation inside.

Chi Feichi looked up at the layout of the roof, stretched out his black robe, and gestured to Fei Mo in the air.

chimney.

...

In the chimney connected to the fireplace on the third floor, there was a wooden ladder leaning against it.

The wall tiles in the middle section were removed, and a small space inside was dimly lit by candlelight.

At the entrance, a large and intricate pattern is formed on the floor with black and white bricks.

The walls were full of tools stained with black stains and rust, some biscuits, breads, and two small long black boxes were piled up.

Near the corner, Joshua, with gray hair and a hospital gown, knelt on the ground ~www.NovelMTL.com~ motionless and looked down at the ground, like a sculpture, only the faint heaving of his chest proved that he was still alive.

A middle-aged man in a black robe turned his back to the door, stood aside, and put down his hat with a tough face full of rage, looking around boredly, "Father, it's really hard for you to find this place."

"You found it here too." Joshua still didn't move, "and I'm not a priest anymore."

"I wanted to go around Mission Hill, pass by here, and follow you when I saw you," the middle-aged man walked to the wall and looked at the two long black boxes, "Consider my proposal, Joshua , you can only get the bomb by yourself, or when you are being searched by those people outside, I admire your ability, and you are looking for this thing, aren't you with the same purpose as us? The pagans outside are really disgusting Hell, we should send them to **** and accept..."

"Is Belial your god?" Joshua asked suddenly.

The middle-aged man was taken aback, "No, our God is Satan, and there is only Satan."

Joshua couldn't help but glance up at the man, his eyes focused on the large white pattern of the inverted cross on the man's black robe.

Middle-aged man: "..."

I don't know why, but in Joshua's eyes, he saw... contempt?

Just as Joshua was about to speak, he caught a glimpse of a crow at the door, and was suddenly stunned.

The crow had jet-black feathers with blue awns, and looked at them with scarlet eyes, with a sense of scrutiny that people have, and it was parked in the middle of the pattern at the door!

Just as he was stunned, the crow tilted its head to look at him, flapped its wings and flew out, and then flew up the chimney.

"Joshua?" The middle-aged man saw that Joshua suddenly turned his head to stare at the door, turned his head in confusion, and heard the flapping of his wings, "What..."
