MTL - Conan: I Am Not a Snake Spirit-Chapter 2490 Can I ask directly?
Kuroki Yasuji found the owner of the special gourmet restaurant, and packed a copy of all the ready-made dishes in the store today.
These include fried crickets, grilled spider skewers, live hornet larvae, marinated silkworm chrysalis, locust sushi rolls...
After seeing all kinds of insect food packed, the three children shook their heads like rattles when Chi Feichi asked, "Do you want to try something?"
Dr. Ali, Conan and Hui Yuanai were faced with a plate of insect dishes, but they couldn't tell what they wanted to eat for a long time.
Feichi couldn't figure out what he wanted to eat, mainly because he wanted to try it all.
In the end, Chi Feichi packed up all the things and took them away, planning to pick some of them to taste, and leave the rest to the greedy Feichi. If Dr. A Li and the five children change their minds, they can share it with a few people. .
The Tachibana House is on the side of the village. The Japanese-style buildings are surrounded by towering walls and gates, like a large square seal on the edge of the village.
Walking near the wall, the villagers were no longer visible, and Conan couldn't help asking, "Mr. Kuroki, what did you go to the north of the village just now?"
Before Yasuji Kuroki could speak, Chi Feichi said, "Conan, wait until we get there."
Yasuji Kuroki was startled, and quickly nodded, "It would be better for Mr. Xinghei or my young master to discuss this matter."
Conan turned his head and reacted.
It's not that his little friend didn't find the problem, and Mr. Kuroki kept talking about other things just now, and it wasn't because he was talking about other things to conceal it, because the matter might involve members of the family. Mr. Kuroki is just a housekeeper, so it's inconvenient to say more .
When we were on the road before, Mr. Kuroki said, "Mr. Xingping invites, Chi Feichi should know that Mr. Tachibana Xinghei and Xiaoshu's brother will not hide them, and reached a tacit agreement with Mr. Kuroki - when we arrive at the place, Listen to what the master has to say.
But these people have concerns and don't say it clearly, and they all rely on everyone's understanding. Don't you find it troublesome?
"ah?"
The three children looked at the three with puzzled faces.
"Conan, what are you talking about?"
"What's matter?"
"No," Hui Yuanai stepped forward to intercept the three children's questions, and changed the subject, "By the way, on the way you came here, didn't you say that you wanted to try all the special delicacies?"
The faces of the three children changed, and when they thought of those insect delicacies, they immediately lost their mind to think about other things.
"Oh, it's not
"We didn't know it was an insect before, but we thought it was delicious rabbit meat."
"Actually, I don't really want to eat rabbit meat. I've been looking forward to whether there will be delicious and fresh fruits...
Arriving at the main entrance of Tachibana's house, Yasuji Kuroki stepped forward and knocked on the door.
Not long after, a middle-aged maid opened the door.
Before the middle-aged maid could speak, the old woman's eager voice came from the room, "Is Nanase back?"
"Ma'am, it's not Missy, it's Mr. Heimu and the guests he brought back," the middle-aged maid turned around and explained, then smiled apologetically at Chi Feichi and the others, and stepped aside to get out of the way, "Mr. Guests come in."
Behind the main entrance is a long corridor with Japanese wooden doors on both sides.
After a group of people entered, the maid helped them get the slippers.
On one side of the corridor, a short old woman stood in front of an open wooden door, dressed in a light brown kimono, with short shoulder-length hair all white, and her face was full of sorrow. When she noticed someone coming from the room behind her, she looked back. With a glance, he turned sideways to get out of the way.
The old man who walked out was wearing a short jacket, with a long snow-white beard and his white hair combed back into a warrior's head. He walked towards the door barefoot, with a calm and strong step, trying to hide the anxiety and melancholy on his face, "Master Feichi, I'm so sorry that you came here with your friends, but I couldn't treat you well."
Disturbed. "
"You are too polite, Mr. Xingping." Chi Feichi was not in a hurry to change his slippers, and politely greeted Tachibana Xingping with a calm expression, "We are the ones calling."
"Yeah," Dr. Ali also hurriedly said
, "Thank you very much for your invitation, I hope I won't cause you any trouble."
The five children also bowed obediently.
"excuse me!"
"I heard from Xiaomo before that you have children with you," Tachibana Xingping faced the children, trying to calm down his face and eyes, "I can ask the maid at home to take them to the yard to play later. .”
Chi Feichi sat down to change his shoes, and asked straightforwardly, "What happened here?"
Conan: "..
Is it okay to ask directly now?
"Yes..." Tachibana Xinghei looked hesitantly at the children who were also changing shoes.
"It's okay to tell them...
From behind the open door came a young male voice with a Kansai accent that Conan was very familiar with.
"These brats should be reliable, and they can play in the yard until the matter is over, and they won't have the opportunity to tell the situation here," Hattori Heiji walked out of the door, leaning against the door, seeing Chi Feichi, Conan and the others looked at themselves and greeted with a smile, "Brother Feichi, doctor, kid with glasses, and everyone, long time no see!"
Three children: "Why is only Conan singled out among the children..."
Conan: "Why do I say "glasses brat..."
Hattori Heiji half-moon eyes.
Hey, he said hello so warmly...
Chi Feichi responded calmly, "Long time no see."
Hattori Heiji still has half-moon eyes.
It must be too cold...
Are these people not surprised to meet him here suddenly?
When Hattori Heiji was depressed, someone finally showed the reaction he wanted. Dr. Ari asked in surprise, "Hattori, why are you here?"
"I'm here to help with the investigation," Hattori Heiji said as he got down to business, and his expression became serious, "Mr. Xinghei's ten-year-old granddaughter Nanase was kidnapped! "
Dr. Ali's expression changed, "What, what?!"
Conan also looked at Hattori Heiji in surprise, changed the shoes three times, five times and two times, and looked at a pair of girl-style sneakers placed at the entrance, "Are these shoes just..."
"It belongs to Ms. Nanase," Hattori Heiji saw that the old woman was going back to the house, he moved to give way, and said seriously, "But she didn't come back after going to school yesterday. The pair of shoes were left by her the day before. at the door."
"I went to school yesterday," Mitsuhiko asked suspiciously, "They haven't had summer vacation yet?"
Hattori Heiji looked at Tachibana Yukihei, "It's Mr. Yukihei's private elementary school in the village. The children in the village and Ms. Nanase all go to school there. The summer vacation time is later than other schools. Of course, the school start time is also."
"Actually, yesterday they only had moral education class and activity class. After the activity class, the summer vacation is officially over." Tachibana Kohei frowned, "Nanase usually goes home after school, and at most half an hour will be delayed on the road, but yesterday In the afternoon, she didn't come home until five o'clock in the afternoon. I sent people to the school and various places in the village to look for her..."
"As a result, at night, a letter asking for a ransom was put into the mailbox. At that time, everyone in the village was looking for Ms. Nanase everywhere. Mr. Xinghei and the people in this family also went out. No one knew about the letter. When and by whom was the letter delivered," Hattori Heiji said, "After dark, they turned back, hoping that Ms. Nanase had returned by herself, and saw a half-exposed letter in the mailbox. After reading it, I realized that Nanase-san was kidnapped."
Dr. Ali became worried when he thought that the kidnapped little girl was only ten years old, "Did you call the police?"
Tachibana Xingping anxiously said, "No, you can't call the police!"
"Normally, there are not many outsiders who come in and out of this village, and they are all people they know. If the kidnappers were watching around here and saw many strangers entering the village, they should have guessed that Mr. Xinghei called the police, so Ms. Nanase Maybe there will be danger," Hattori Heiji helped explain, "so I first asked me, a high school student detective, to come over to help. As for Mr. Kuroki who brought you back
..."
"Mr. Xinghei is going to send Nanase to Kyoto to study literature after she is on vacation. We will study with the same teacher at that time..."
Walking out of the rooms of Tachibana Yukihei and Hattori Heiji one after another, talking from far to near, a ten-year-old boy wearing a gray and blue kimono walked out.
The boy's small face under the black hair looked calm, his voice was still a little immature, but his tone was always unhurried. He stopped in the corridor and looked up at Tachibana Xinghei, "Grandpa Xinghei would have sent Nanase to Kyoto today, I Grandpa called Grandpa Kohei this morning to ask when they will arrive...」
When a certain gentleman came out, Feichi poked his head out of Chi Feichi's collar, stared straight at the certain gentleman, and whispered with great emotion, "Master, Feimo should belong to Isn’t that kind of cute?”
Chi Feichi couldn't answer.
Fei Mo's face after turning into a human form is absolutely passable in appearance, coupled with the round facial contours that children have, and the rounded curvature of the eyes, head and tail, it can be regarded as cute.
But I can't say 'very cute' either.
Children should have innocent eyes and a soft and harmless expression, but Feimo in front of him does not occupy at all, his eyes are not innocent and ignorant, and his expression is relatively calm. Just like Conan and Xiaoai, he can win a precocious evaluation by his demeanor.
This is still the appearance that Fei Mo has concealed, otherwise, with the appearance in private, he would not have engraved the vicissitudes and far-reaching notes in his eyes.
But then again, Feimo's pupils are not brownish red or black red like Koizumi Hongzi or Baima Tan, but UU Reading www.uukanshu.com is more vividly red, scarlet like sticky blood. Trying to show a naive and ignorant appearance, you will only have an innocent face with a pair of evil-looking eyes, and it will look even more awkward. It is better to keep it like this.
"As a result, as soon as Grandpa Xingping answered the phone, he said in a nervous tone." Hey, after hearing that it was my grandpa on the other end of the phone, he said that he had urgent work to deal with, and he would call my grandpa tomorrow to explain, "Feimo didn't Looking at Yukihei Tachibana, he turned to Yasuji Kuroki at the door, "My grandfather said that someone might have been kidnapped from Grandpa Yukihei's house, so let me come and have a look."
Hattori Heiji was speechless, "Although I felt a little strange when I heard it, but..."
"In the past, Mizuno's family had children who were kidnapped, as did some of the houses our master is familiar with. Once you heard Mr. Xinghei's words in a panic, you can guess what's going on," Yasuji Kuroki changed. Shoes, picked up the bag on the cabinet at the door again, straightened up and said to Chi Feichi, "Of course, my master is not very sure, so he asked me to take the young master for a run."
Dr. Ali smiled dryly.
There are children at home and friends who have been kidnapped and survived. It is really speechless.
