Conan: I Am Not a Snake Spirit

Chapter 1738: Sakuragi Gong: Thinking about it

When Elizabeth was talking to Tsurumi Yoko, she said that she was sleepy and wanted to take a nap, but she never woke up once she fell asleep.

Tsurumi found out about Ye Zi an hour later, and his mind was dazed for a long time before he remembered that someone would send a message to Chi Feichi and Koizumi Hongzi, and then went to the funeral agency to help with the funeral matters.

Because Elizabeth helped a lot of people during her lifetime and was a legend who lived for more than 100 years, almost half of Jiang Shenyuan's people changed into black clothes and went to the herbal medicine hall to help, and it didn't take long to prepare everything needed for the funeral. .

After dark, there were still many people who came to burn incense to pay their respects, and the line was far away.

Koizumi Hongzi stood under the elder tree deep in the yard, listening to Chi Feichi making the bone jade play a melody next to her, and looking at the crowd in line, she suspected that she had become indifferent.

I don't know if she sent away several generations of the Montgomery family. She was not as sad as she thought.

At least Elizabeth had a good death, her wish was almost fulfilled, and there was no pain before her death. She felt that it was easier to accept than Phoebe's death.

It doesn't seem very strange. .

Look at how many generations of the natural son of the Montgomery family have been sent away. After making Gu Yu sing a melody, he went to the back of the tree to answer the phone, much calmer than her...

"Over the water?"

Chi Feichi stood behind the tree, holding the bone jade in one hand and listening to the phone in the other.

Elizabeth's funeral, can not be said to belong to the Japanese tradition, or belong to the European tradition, because the relatives and friends who came are of Japanese and European descent, monks and priests have been recruited, each occupying one side, the sound of chanting, wooden fish and prayers intersect. in one place.

However, the group of monks is obviously better in terms of voice.

When Yueshui Nanatsuki heard the sound of chanting scriptures and wooden fish on the phone, she was a little surprised, "Huh? Has anyone died?"

"An old friend passed away," Chi Feichi said, and asked bluntly, "I called so late, what's the matter?"

"It's like this, Conan accidentally sprained his foot while walking today. Xiaolan and I were shopping. After hearing about it, we rushed to Xinxing Hospital to see him. In the evening, I stayed at the detective office for dinner," Mr. Mori said. I plan to take Conan to Kinosaki Onsen for a trip, because Kinosaki Onsen has a saying that white cranes heal wounds," Koshisui Nanatsuki explained, lowering his voice, "Mr. Mori seems to have a hot spring coupon from someone here, just made a decision, tomorrow will be In the past, there seemed to be a lot of coupons, Conan and Xiaolan were calling to ask Dr. Li and the other children, and I was in charge of calling to ask if you would like to go together tomorrow..."

Chi Feichi understood. His teacher probably thought that if the coupons were not used, they would be wasted when they expired. He just took a group of people out to the hot springs, "Sorry, I'm not in Tokyo, and I might not be able to go back in the next two days."

"You have a friend who dies, there is nothing you can do," Koshimizu Nanatsuki said with emotion, "Although it is a pity, but you should still be busy over there. If you encounter interesting things or see beautiful scenery, we will If I share it with you again, then I won't bother you, and I'll talk to you another day."

"Chat another day."

Chi Fei late hung up the phone.

It's a pity that it can't be a hot spring trip.

But today Elizabeth passed away. Motomachi Kiyozo, as Jiangshenyuan's 'Three Saints' and one of the heirs of the property in his will, will be busy at least until tomorrow night. I'm afraid he won't have time to take care of the photos he promised to give him. He wants to get the photos again. If you walk, you can't go to Kinosaki Onsen in Hyogo Prefecture.

Thinking about it again, this group of people will definitely not be peaceful when they go there. If they want to make an appointment to take a bath in the hot spring, there is no need to hit the case when the opportunity arises.

……

In the early morning, people who burned incense and mourned left one after another.

Chi Feichi and Koizumi Hongzi stayed under the elder tree all the time. After they were almost gone, they arrived in front of the house and handed over the money in the incense bag to Sakuragi Gong, who was in charge of collecting the incense.

"Thank you," Tsurumi Yazuo bowed and thanked, "If you two are not in a hurry to leave, you can stay for a while, and I will prepare some vegetarian dishes, snacks and herbal tea for you."

Koizumi Hongzi nodded, then turned to ask Chi Feichi, "Are you going to wake up here tonight?"

"I'm going back to the yacht after a while," Chi Feichi looked down at Wuming, who was lying in his arms and yawning, "I wonder if there is a rule here that cats can't enter the mourning hall."

Sakuragi Gong thought that the two were outside the house before, watching Tsurumi Ye go to the kitchen, and curiously looked at the lazy Wuming, "Can't cats enter the mourning hall?"

"There is a legend in China that cats are psychic, and when they come to the side of the deceased, they may cause the phenomenon of deceitful corpses. There are some similar legends in other countries. I have heard a story that once an old lady died, the cat passed away from the body. Passing by, the old lady suddenly sat up and was resurrected like this. After the resurrection, the old lady's behavior gradually became strange, and people didn't notice it at first, but the little granddaughter who lived with her, one night..."

Chi Feichi saw that the night was still long, and calmly told the story of the "cat-faced old lady".

"In the dark, the girl followed the sound of chewing and came to the kitchen. She saw the shadow of a suspected old lady, and asked the old lady, what are you eating, grandma..."

"The old lady put the dead mouse in her mouth into her mouth, chewed it, wiped the blood from her mouth, and replied that she was eating beans..."

"The girl asked again why there was a **** smell, and the old lady said..."

A gust of night wind blew into the house, and a group of watchmen listened to the story with their ears pricked up, feeling a chill on their backs.

This is a maddening story. The old lady who was possessed by a cat and deceived her corpse was half human and half cat. She behaved strangely and cunningly. Now, neighbors, friends, and people all over the city suffer one after another.

When Tsurumi Ye came back with the herbal tea, he found that the mourning hall was quiet, and the people who were guarding the spirit were all kneeling in the room, their faces pale and their heads bowed, they put down their trays in doubt, and went to close the windows, "Is it going to be tonight? a little cold?"

A group of people raised their heads in unison with pale faces, and nodded in unison.

Sakuragi Gong eased his stiff face and smiled, "I don't believe those..."

"Meow~" Wuming stretched his waist and bowed his waist, seemingly planning to jump from Chi Feichi's arms into the mourning hall.

Sakuragi Gong hurriedly dodged to block the front. Seeing Wuming lying back in Chi Feichi's arms, he was somewhat embarrassed and added, "But since there is such a legend, it's better to avoid it."

Tsurumi Yee came back from distributing herbal tea to others, and noticed that the other people's reactions were still weird. When he arrived at the door, he asked in a low voice, "What's wrong with everyone? Do you think I'm not good at hospitality, so you're angry?"

"It's nothing," Chi Feichi clasped Wuming in one hand, freeing up his hand to take the cup handed by Tsurumi Yee, "You need to stay up late for the wake-up call, so I'll tell you a horror story to refresh you."

It's just that these people's ability to bear is too poor. His story is obviously not that scary, just a little bloody.

"Yes, that's right," Tsurumi Yezi thought of the pale faces of a group of people, sweating, "Please take care, the herbal tea I prepared for you can also refresh your mind, and it can be considered a place to go. , the two of you should try it too."

"Ok……"

Chi Feichi took a sip of the herbal tea, and tasted a little refreshing and bitter taste from it, and found that Feichi was curious and wanted to drink it secretly.

When Feichi heard this, she retracted her head again, "I'm just curious what it tastes like..."

"Huh?" Tsurumi Yezi looked curiously at Fei Chi, who had retreated, and asked again, "Mr. Chi, do you also know herbal medicine?"

Chi Feichi put the cup back on the tray, and did not directly answer Tsurumi Leaf's question, "You can replace the lemon with soaked safflower to relieve the cold. Verbena is not suitable for pregnant women to take, this tea will not give Pregnant women drink it, and it’s okay to add safflower, but improper use of safflower can lead to poisoning, and in severe cases, there is a risk of respiratory failure, so it’s okay to not use it.”

Koizumi Hongzi also put the cup back, turned around and left with Chi Feichi, and said with a smile, "In this respect, he is your ancestor."

"Old Ancestor..." Tsurumi Ye Zi watched the two leave, but smiled helplessly, "Obviously he should be about the same age as me, he's really a strange person."

Sakuragi turned his head and asked suspiciously, "They seem to have a good relationship with Elizabeth, did Miss Tsurumi know them before?"

"I've never met before, but they and Elizabeth seem to have known each other for a long time. Elizabeth told me this morning that you must respect the two adults," Tsurumi Yeba explained to Sakuragi Gong, "that's why I feel strange, They are about the same age as me, and they may look younger than me. I have followed Elizabeth since I was a child. According to their familiarity with Elizabeth, I should not have seen them before, and I think... Elizabeth brought When they went to see the Jiangshenyuan scenic spot, what they said was a little strange."

Sakuragi Gong also followed for a long time yesterday, frowned and nodded in approval, "Yes..."

Yesterday, Elizabeth was very happy. When she arrived at the library, she said to the two of them, 'It's a surprise, Otis' house has been requisitioned as a library, but the original building has been preserved', and when she arrived at the school, she said again' This is the school that Parker and the neighbor's house changed', as if these two should know the same people.

He came to Jiangshenyuan for half a year, and he didn't know the Otis and Parker that Elizabeth spoke of.

But it's no wonder...

The red-haired girl quickly asked Elizabeth: 'Odis? Are his descendants still in Jiangshenyuan? ’

Elizabeth's answer was: 'After 1960, his children moved back to Europe. ’

In 1960...he was in Europe at that time, and he was probably about the same age as Tsurumi Ye, of course he didn't know the man named Otis.

Later, the red-haired girl also talked about the Parker: 'Is Parker's descendants okay? He seems to be in good health all the time. ’

Elizabeth also talked about Parker: 'Parker passed away in 1963, and his son also died a few years ago. After his grandson went to school in Tokyo, he stayed there to work and didn't come back for a long time. ’

Otis and Parker are not alone.

Some people even almost forgot about Elizabeth. When the two mentioned their names, Elizabeth suddenly realized, smiling like she was reminiscing with her peers, talking about what happened to their children and grandchildren.

Not to mention the question of whether he should know these two people, this kind of topic that often spans half a century and talks about grandchildren from grandparents to grandchildren at every turn, makes people ponder very terribly~www.NovelMTL.com~ two Young people who have not been born in half a century, and Elizabeth who lived more than 100 years old, talk about old people who have left or died for half a century, but they seem to know those people very well.

Yesterday, I walked with Elizabeth and these two for a while. He listened to the three of them chatting from time to time. He always felt that these two young faces had lived in Jiang Shenyuan for many years, and only left about half a century ago, so he knew that Jiang Shenyuan was half It looked like a century ago, and didn't know the changes in recent decades, so Elizabeth was so happy to take the two on a tour, just as happy as a child showing off that he knew a lot and understood the development of the city.

And Elizabeth's attitude towards the two is also very strange, just like a child seeing an elder, thinking about Elizabeth's age, and looking at the young faces of the two, he felt horrified. He left early yesterday and saw two of them tonight. The man stayed under the elder tree and didn't go up to say hello. When he heard Chi Feichi's story just now, he was worried that it had really happened, and he was so nervous that the cat jumped into the mourning hall.

It is clear that Mr. Chi's identity has been determined. He is a member of the British Field family. He should not be a person of the same age as Elizabeth...

He could feel that between Elizabeth and these two young people, there was a secret beyond the expectations of the world, and maybe it was a secret related to the Montgomery family.
