Conan: I Am Not a Snake Spirit

Chapter 3826 The Fate of the Detective

As they were talking, the four of them walked past the eaves above the main entrance of the hotel and arrived at the window on the other side.

Conan lay in front of the window, took a look into the house, and quickly lay on the eaves.

The next second, the window was opened and a man's voice was heard from the window.

"I see……"

The moment the window opened, Chi Feichi, Huihara Ai, and Maori Kogoro also lay down.

In the room, the man stood in front of the window, looking at the night outside and making a phone call, without noticing that there were four people hiding outside the windowsill.

"I plan to go back tomorrow morning... Yes, I've already booked the train ticket, don't forget to pick me up at the station... What? I'm serious... Let's make it like this, when I get back to Kumamoto, we'll have lunch together..."

Conan listened to the man's words and felt that someone who planned to leave tomorrow morning, had already bought a ticket, and had an appointment to meet someone at the station was not a big suspect. He moved forward using his hands and feet, crawled under the windowsill, and prepared to go to the next room.

Chi Feichi and Huihara Ai didn't want to waste time in front of this window, so they crawled under the windowsill.

Kogoro Maori followed the team with a speechless look on his face.

Why on earth did he follow these little brats to make trouble?

Conan climbed to the next window, reached out to hold on to the outer wall, slowly stood up, and looked into the house carefully.

The curtains in this room were three-quarters drawn. Ike Hichi, Huihara Ai, and Maori Kogoro went to the window and looked inside the house with Conan.

In the room, a man wearing sunglasses and a baseball cap sat at the table, facing a laptop. At his side were headphones connected to the computer, a drone and its remote control, and a backpack.

"It should be this person," Conan observed the environment in the room and whispered, "This room is diagonally opposite to Brother Chi's room and next to Miss Manami's room. If Miss Manami wants to go downstairs, she will definitely pass through this room. As long as the people inside stay at the door, they can observe whether Miss Manami goes downstairs or goes to other people's rooms. After that, they can just chase after her or use a drone to take pictures to continue monitoring Miss Manami."

Chi Feichi looked at the windowsill, reached out and picked up a pine needle that had fallen on the windowsill, lowered his eyes and observed, "There are no pine trees planted on this side of the hotel. Even if it is windy, the pine needles will not be blown onto the windowsill here."

Huiyuan Ai also looked at the pine needles in Chi Feichi's hand. "The pine needles look like they were cut off by something. This should be because when he was using the drone to monitor us from outside the window just now, he found that we noticed the red light emitted by the drone, so he hurriedly controlled the drone to leave, causing the drone to crash into the pine tree, breaking the pine needles and bringing them to the windowsill of this room..."

"There is a waterfall next to the hotel, and there is a constant sound of flowing water, so when he flew the drone over, we didn't hear any sound," Conan added.

"It seems that the person who is monitoring Miss Manami is this guy," Maori Kogoro looked at the computer in front of the man, "He is monitoring the sounds in Miss Manami's room now... But who is this guy? Why is he monitoring Miss Manami?"

Muttering quietly, Maori Kogoro found that the window in front of him was not closed tightly. He quickly made a decision, stood up, opened the window, and climbed over it. "Anyway, let's catch him and ask him clearly!"

Inside the house, the man was startled by a sound near the window. He turned around and saw Maori Kogoro climbing into the house from the window. He hurriedly packed up the computer and drone on the table and stuffed the things into his backpack.

"You are Hiroyuki, you little brat?" Maori Kogoro climbed into the room and angrily rushed forward to question, "Tell me the truth, why are you spying on Miss Manami? What are you planning?!"

Chi Feichi followed Maori Kogoro into the house and saw the man in the house taking out a gun from his pocket in panic. He quickly quickened his pace and ran forward, catching up with Maori Kogoro, and put one hand on Maori Kogoro's shoulder, "Conan, Xiaoai, hide outside!"

"Bang!"

When flames came out of the muzzle of the gun, Kogoro Maori was also pinned to the ground by Chi Feichi.

The bullet flew over Kogoro Mori's head and easily shattered the window glass.

Kogoro Mouri didn't expect that the man would carry a pistol. After being pinned to the ground by Chi Feichi, he realized belatedly that he was almost shot and broke out in a cold sweat.

After firing a random shot, the man did not stop, hurriedly picked up the backpack on the table, turned around and ran towards the door of the room.

When the door opened, Mao Lilan's puzzled voice was heard from the corridor outside.

"Dad? Brother Feichi? I seemed to hear..."

Maori Kogoro was startled and quickly got up, "Xiaolan, go back to your room and hide!"

Chi Feichi was also worried that the man would break into the next room with a gun and take the three girls hostage, so he ignored Maori Kogoro and started chasing after him towards the door.

The man ran to the corridor and noticed that Chi Feichi had chased him to the door. He turned around in panic and fired a shot at the door, not caring whether the bullet hit anyone or not. He carried the backpack in one hand and the gun in the other and quickly ran towards the stairs.

Chi Feichi was not hit by the randomly fired bullets, but he was delayed for a while. When he chased to the corridor, the man had already run downstairs.

"Fei Chi, stop chasing!" Maori Kogoro followed Chi Fei Chi into the corridor, "The other party has a gun, it's too dangerous to chase him!"

Chi Feichi did not chase after them. He turned around and saw a crack in the door of the next room. Three pairs of eyes appeared behind the crack and asked, "Are you okay?"

The door of the next room opened, and Nanatsuki Koshimizu, Ran Mori, and Manami Nakadai were standing at the door. They were also frightened by the gunshots and their faces turned pale and they shook their heads.

"We are fine..."

"No one was injured on our side..."

"I'm glad you're all okay..." Maori Kogoro remembered that Haibara Ai and Conan were still outside the window, and quickly looked at the broken glass window, "Little brats, are you all okay?"

"I'm fine!" Conan responded from outside the window.

"I'm fine too," Huihara Ai stood up outside the window, "How about you? No one is hurt?"

"No one of us was injured either." Chi Feichi responded and walked back into the room.

While they were talking, the residents on the second floor were alarmed. They carefully opened a crack in the door and looked around. When they found that the danger seemed to have passed, they opened the door and asked Kogoro Mouri in the corridor about the situation.

At the same time, the man with the gun had run to the first floor, rushed out of the hotel gate, and quickly ran to a car in front of the hotel.

Conan did not rush into the house. He ran to the eaves in front of the main entrance of the hotel. When he saw the figure of the man with a gun, he immediately squatted down, pressed the button on the tracking glasses with one hand, locked his eyes on the man's figure, and turned the knob of his foot-strengthening shoes with the other hand.

Chi Feichi nodded calmly, turned around and walked back along the eaves, "Let's go back first."

…

Half an hour later, local police arrived at the hotel.

"Officer Takeyoshi."

Nanatsuki Koshimizu knew the leading police officer and took the initiative to greet him. She introduced him to Chi Feichi, Maori Kogoro and others, "This is Officer Shinji Takeyoshi from Beppu. When I was in high school, I went to Beppu to investigate a commission and was accidentally involved in a kidnapping case. It was at that time that I met Officer Takeyoshi..."

Shinji Takeyoshi looked to be of the same age as Kogoro Mori. He had messy hair and a beard, like a decadent uncle who didn't care much about the quality of life. He looked at Nanatsuki Koshimizu speechlessly, "And the second year after that, I met Miss Koshimizu again. That time was because of a murder case. The year Miss Koshimizu graduated from high school, it was because of contraband smuggling. Half a year later, it was because of a disappearance case..."

Mao Lilan looked at Nanatsuki Koshimizu in surprise, "It turns out that Nanatsuki-san was often involved in incidents before."

Koshimizu Nanatsuki: “…”

(all'')

What can we do?

The commissions she had received in the past were mostly concentrated in the Kyushu area, and she would come to Beppu to investigate from time to time. The detective's commissions were usually tricky matters, so when she came here to investigate, she naturally had to come into contact with the police.

Compared to Inspector Megure who meets the detective almost every day, her meetings with Inspector Takeyoshi are not that frequent, right?

"Being a plague god, being hated by people and dogs, this may be the fate of a detective." Chi Feichi complained in a low voice.

Nanatsuki Koshimizu, Kogoro Mori, Conan: "..."

Hey! They heard it!
