Conan: I Am Not a Snake Spirit

"I remember that Judas, who betrayed Jesus, was hanged on an elder," Haibara mourned, "Traitor... Did the murderer say that Mr. Toda is a traitor?"

"No," Chi Fei corrected aloud, "the long-standing meaning of elderberry is to protect, suppress evil, and eliminate disasters."

This is what elderberry has always been about.

If you have to contact the 'traitor', it is probably because the Avengers planted elderberries in various strongholds back then, and irrigated the elderberries with the blood of some people who betrayed and hurt those families, and the elder trees were also there. A research point is set up next to it, in order to protect the family from the lingering fire, and let themselves and the enemy suffer the pain of being transformed together.

"In addition, some people say that elderberry is a very mysterious plant, which will be regarded as the habitat of the soul, and will also be associated with witches, bad luck, etc.," Maurilan recalled, "In the Middle Ages, burning elderberry or It seems unlucky to put elderberries in the house."

The corner of Chi Feichi's mouth couldn't help but evoke a cold smile.

He has heard this statement. During the Middle Ages, after the traitors appeared in the parliament, the people of the Holy See tried to dig out the various strongholds of the parliament using the "planting elderberry" as a clue.

In order to prevent the council members from disposing of the elderberries in the courtyard ahead of time, the publicity about the elderberry will bring bad luck, and it is forbidden to burn or cut off the elderberry, and encourage other people to report. After getting the news, let a team of people go to the people who plant elderberries to investigate, and tell those people that they are easily hated by the witches of the dark council, and then remove the elderberries one by one and send them to the wild. Concentrate on 'purification'. .

Ordinary people who have elderberries near their houses are excluded. The burning or cutting of elderberries is not small, and they may be discovered and reported at any time. In this way, the parliamentary stronghold will gradually emerge, and investigations will be carried out in many cities. If you do, you can wipe out all the members of the council who are hiding in the dark...

The Holy See thought so, but the outcome was not as the Holy See wished.

The members of the council were stirred up to be rebellious. They did not try to burn or cut down the elders, but transplanted them from the outside yard into the house. The strongholds also bid farewell to the sun completely and moved to the dark room and underground.

There are all kinds of strange people, don't worry about the lack of indoor sunlight affecting the growth of elderberries, with the help of different techniques, coupled with the **** watering method, those elderberries have grown very vigorously.

He often stayed with Phoebe at the headquarters. As for the elderberry he often stayed at, the growth speed and height were not what a normal elder should have, and the branches were the best material for making a staff.

He had never heard of the saying that 'elders cannot be placed in the house'. Maybe the Holy See finally found those elders planted indoors in the parliament. It's a rumor that evolved over time...

But when he thought that the elder tree at the headquarters might also have been dug up or burned by the Holy See, he remembered that when the Montgomery's house was raided, the elderberry that Lawrence planted for him was also stolen by those bastards.

I was upset, very upset.

Conan was listening to Mao Lilan, and he caught Chi Feichi's smile from the corner of his eyes. He glanced sideways and caught the sneer at the corner of Chi Feichi's mouth. frowned.

Was his little friend sneering just now? Why?

Let’s not say that Xiaolan is right. There is indeed such a rumor about elderberry. Even if Xiaolan is wrong, he believes that with Chi Feichi’s character, he will never laugh at Xiaolan. Some people even laugh at Xiaolan’s words. This guy Chi will also be tepid on the surface, but in reality, he will refute the other side speechlessly.

In other words, the fleeting sneer on Chi Feichi's face was not mocking Xiaolan, but because of what Xiaolan said.

Before the union, Huiyuan said that elderberry represents 'traitor', and Chi Feichi immediately corrected the point that it was 'protection, warding off evil, and eliminating disasters'. Chi Feichi should be describing 'bad luck' and 'bad luck' I objected, and Miss Tsurumi said that Chi Feichi went to the herbal garden to lie down under the elderberry. It can be judged that Chi Feichi should like elderberry very much!

Well, it's not surprising to sneer... no, it's still weird.

He and Chi Feichi have known each other for so long, and he still understands Chi Feichi. If he is only dissatisfied with a certain sentence, he is unlikely to make a direct sneer. It is more likely that he did not hear it, especially this The sentence was said by a female friend, and Chi Feichi was even less likely to do so.

It is very likely that Chi Feichi thought of something because of this, which caused his mood swings to be unusual, and he also felt a trace of disdain and hostility from Chi Feichi's sneer just now.

Having said that, Chi Feichi seems to have said something like 'the elderberry has something to do with me', so he shouldn't feel wrong.

Hey, what the **** is going on with this incident, how does it feel like there are so many secrets involved...

...

A group of people sat in the living room discussing for a long time, and they didn't get a possibly useful answer.

Drinking the herbal tea, Kogoro Mori told Tsurumi Leaf again, "Ms. Tsurumi, your name is also on the will, you must pay attention to safety. If you don't mind, I can stay in the herbal shop to protect you!"

Tsurumi Yeba felt that Maori Kogoro's eyes were bright like a strange uncle, and he hurriedly smiled and declined, "I think, I don't need to bother Mr. Maori, I haven't received the threatening letter you mentioned."

"No trouble, no trouble," Maori Kogoro said with a smile, "Isn't it safer to have my personal protection? I think..."

Next to him, Mao Lilan was covered in a suppressed aura, and soon he laughed again, stretched out his hand to hold Maori Kogoro's arm, smiled and said to Maori Kogoro, "Ms. Tsurumi is a girl, I think it's a matter of personal protection. , or it is more convenient for the girls to come, if Miss Tsurumi needs personal protection, it is better for me to come, what do you think? Dad-daddy-?"

Maori Kogoro felt a strong threat from Maurilan's eyes, and sweated, "Yes, yes."

"I really don't need it," Tsurumi Ye Zi said with a smile. "There are people who know people around the herbal medicine hall. If I am in danger, they will not sit idly by."

"My church is not far from here," Sakuragi Gong also said kindly, "If I have time, I will come to visit Miss Tsurumi."

Conan has been standing in front of the sofa beside Chi Feichi, wandering, thinking about it, but he has no clue. Just about to see if the detective Koshimizu Nanatsu has found anything, he looks up and sees Koshimi Nanatsu looking at Tsurumi leaves, He looked down at his clothes again, and saw the leaves of the crane...

Behaving oddly.

Chi Feichi put down the tea cup containing the herbal tea and found that Conan's eyes were constantly cruising on Yusui Nanatsuki and Tsurumi Yeko, leaned over behind Conan's ear, and asked in a low voice, "What are you looking at?"

Conan was startled by the cold words behind him, suppressed the goose bumps on his body, looked back at Chi Feichi speechlessly, and said in a low voice, "It's not me, it's Sister Nanatsuki, she seems to be looking at Miss Tsurumi all the time. And the front of your own clothes... Is there something wrong with Tsurumi-san's clothes today?"

Chi Feichi raised his eyes to see Tsurujie Ye's clothes, then turned to look at Yueshui Nanatsuki's clothes, "I didn't find it."

Due to the sudden arrival of the person taking the medicine in the herbal hall, Tsurumi Kogoro and Sakuragi Gong took advantage of the situation to bid farewell.

Chi Feichi heard that Maori Kogoro and others had booked a room at the hotel in the port, and took a taxi back to the hotel together.

The signboard is the 'Toy Museum', and the hotel as a whole seems to belong to the last century. It is very special, especially the hotel is built with a grand and heavy feeling. You can still see the pier. A group of people in front of the hotel can't help but look around and feel emotional For a while.

Chi Feichi called and asked Dashan Mi to cancel the reservation for the return cruise. After a group of people had seen enough of the hotel's exterior, he led a group of people into the lobby through the brass revolving door.

After listening to his teacher talk about the situation of the case, he has the elderflower fragrance left at the scene of the crime, so it is best not to leave in a hurry.

So, he probably won't be able to leave today.

"Wow! It looks more luxurious inside!" Mitsuhiko looked up at the large crystal chandelier, and his eyes were shining brightly.

"Even the chair is a rococo-style backrest," Maurilan glanced around and talked to Koshimi Nanatsuki beside him, "It feels like being in the court of the last century, right, Nanatsuki-san?"

"Yeah..." Yueshui Nanatsuki was a little absent-minded, and couldn't help but looked at the front of Mao Lilan's clothes, and then looked down at the front of his own clothes.

"Huh?" Mao Lilan looked down at his T-shirt in confusion, "What's wrong with my clothes?"

Yueshui Nanatsu found that Chi Feichi was looking at him, and hurriedly said vaguely, "No, no."

Hai Yuanai went to the wall to look at the photos on the wall, and turned around to say hello, "There are many old photos here, it seems that they were taken a long time ago."

The three children ran over immediately.

"true!"

"Is this taken at a reception a long time ago?"

"It doesn't look like the same reception!"

Conan also stepped forward and looked at the men and women wearing long skirts and tuxedos in the photo, and said with emotion, "The interior decoration is exactly the same as it is now, and it has been completely preserved."

Chi Fei didn't look at Yueshui Nanatsuki and Maurilan's clothes again, and stepped forward and introduced, "This was a place where wealthy merchants were entertained and stayed in the early Meiji period. The previous owner was old and had no children, so he It was resold to the current owner, Mr. Motomachi. Mr. Motomachi planned to open a toy museum, but he also agreed to the original owner~www.NovelMTL.com~ The hotel will operate from the second floor to the fifth floor here, so each room on the first floor has a history from the Meiji era. Toys from different periods, and hotels on the second to fifth floors.”

"A toy on the first floor?" Ayumi's eyes lit up, "Can we go take a look?"

"Yes," Chi Feichi looked in the direction of the toy display area, "the toy display area here is open to the public. Many children in Jiangshenyuan will come here to play with toys, and there should be many children there now. As long as the exhibition area is open, you can go whenever you want, provided you don’t deliberately break the toys.”

The three children immediately cheered out of the hall, ran to the toy display area, and the others followed.

Except for the hall and a few rooms on the first floor, the rest of the rooms are filled with toys, which are placed in different rooms according to the year. From wooden dolls of the Meiji period to modern video games, the variety is dizzying.

Children from all over the world gather here, and they all play together happily, with laughter and laughter everywhere.

There are also the most staff in this area. Because some antique toys are of great value, there are four or five strong bodyguards guarding the back door and the corridor, but no one will stop the children from touching the toys.
