Chapter 866: Is the Routine That Deep?
"So it was the Grandmother from the Village." The Big Golden Eagle flew behind the Rock and landed on the Ground behind Granny A-Fu.
The second Golden Eagle landed to Granny A-Fu's Right Hand side and called out towards Chi Feichei On the Tree Trunk, "She's a Good Person, our ancestors and her ancestors were Friends!"
"Very Good," the mother Golden Eagle said seriously to Chi Feichei, "Gave us Meat to eat, gave us Fabric."
The Reaction of the three Golden Eagles in Granny A-Fu's Eyes was: as soon as that Young Man spoke, the Golden Eagles immediately came over and caught the Human, and even used their Cry to signal to that Young Man that they had stopped the person...
"Sigh..."
Granny A-Fu sighed and walked out from behind the Cliff Face. Thinking of the Calm Gaze of that Young Man's Eyes in the noisy Crowd, she Suddenly didn't Think it was Weird anymore.
This Young Man is very Ominous!
The three Golden Eagles followed Granny A-Fu back Under the Tree. To Granny A-Fu, who couldn't understand the Golden Eagles' Words and could only guess their Intention from their Behavior, they were understood as 'escorting' her...
Under the Tree, Granny A-Fu looked up at the Human On the Tree. When she Saw the Snake Head peeking out from under Chi Feichei's Collar to look at her, she was stunned, "You... what kind of Human are you exactly?"
Keeping a Snake wasn't Strange, she had heard of it, But this Young Man in front of her was very Ominous. The Scene of this Human and Snake looking at her with the Same Indifference and Calm Gaze was also very Strange.
"My Name is Chi Feichei."
Chi Feichei crossed out the two Answers 'Detective' and 'Veterinarian' in his Heart and didn't Say anything further.
Granny A-Fu didn't press for Chi Feichei's Identity. She Raised her Right Hand and touched the Feather on the Big Golden Eagle's Wings beside her, "What's going on between you and them?"
Chi Feichei's Gaze paused on Granny A-Fu's Right Hand for A Bit, then quickly withdrew his Line of Sight and jumped down the Tree Trunk, "Then what's going on between Grandmother and Officer Tsuchishi?"
Officer Tsuchishi's Right Hand Thumb's Fingernails had a Dent, and Granny A-Fu's Right Hand Thumb's Fingernails also had the Same Dent. Moreover, the Fingernail shapes were consistent, which Indicate that these Two People very Likely have a Blood Relation.
Granny A-Fu's Face stiffened for a moment, then she pretended to be dissatisfied and said sharply, "That Guy doesn't believe in the Great Bird God. Ever since he came to the Village, he's been spreading Rumors everywhere, Saying our Faith is unscientific. How could he know the Great Bird God's Power? It's simply Ridiculous!"
Chi Feichei caught a trace of Panic in Granny A-Fu's Eyes, "Is that so?"
Granny A-Fu Originally wanted to Say, 'I'm Asking you, why are you Asking me instead?', But the Words reached her Mouth and she couldn't Say them.
Before, when she Saw this Young Man, this Young Man was always with These People. She only paid a little Attention Because of Chi Feichei's Excessive Calmness Temperament, black Color Tone clothing, and Annoying Attitude. She didn't have any other special Feeling.
But Now, the Two People were Alone On the Cliff, being Gazed at by Chi Feichei's Calm Gaze. She felt an indescribable Pressure Envelop her Heart. This Cliff with a wide Field of Vision Seemingly also turned into a narrow Dark Room, and she was the Criminal waiting for Interrogation.
Chi Feichei Looked for a moment, then walked past Granny A-Fu towards the Base of Cliff. His Voice was very light, "It's indeed Ridiculous that the Priest Lineage doesn't believe in your God."
Granny A-Fu's Whole Body Trembled A Bit. She Turned Head to look at Chi Feichei's Figure, her Expression Shocked.
She had Said Before that Tushi Yicheng didn't believe in the Great Bird God and it was Ridiculous, while this Young Man Said, 'It's indeed Ridiculous that the Priest Lineage doesn't believe in your God'. In Other Words...
This Young Man knows that Tushi Yicheng and she are Direct Blood Relation!
Hassashi rested its Head on Chi Feichei's Shoulder, looked back at Granny A-Fu, and slowly flicked its Snake Tongue, "Master, Granny A-Fu's Face has become so Snake-Scaring."
Chi Feichei had Certainty in his Heart.
He had Bluffed her out. Tushi Yicheng was Indeed Granny A-Fu's Descendant.
He Suddenly Realized what Granny A-Fu had Said to Tushi Yicheng Last Night.
'I'm going to Mozushou Shrine to Pray Tonight. If you're the Guardian of the Village, you Should Go Together with all of us!'
'No way! I still have Work...'
'You'll Be Punished like this!'
'But, But...'
'Never Mind! If anything happens to you, I won't Care...'
It Seemingly Granny A-Fu had Already Sense that the Murderer was Tushi Yicheng. Last Night, she wanted to drag Tushi Yicheng to Pray, also wanting to stop Tushi Yicheng from continuing to Crime.
As soon as Chi Feichei got Down to the Villa Entrance, he was blocked by Doctor Agasa and the Junior Detective League.
Genta stared at Chi Feichei with Half-Moon Eyes, "Brother Chi, don't be like Conan, always Leaving everyone and Acting Alone..."
"Correct, only Edogawa runs off whenever he wants, and often sends everyone away to Act Alone..." Haibara Ai looked at Chi Feichei and said in a Leisurely Tone, "Ignoring Safety, and also instigating everyone to Conceal it Together."
"Hey, hey, you guys..." Conan was Dumbfounded.
Chi Feichei made everyone Worry, just Say Chi Feichei is fine, why bring him into it?
"Black Sheep." Chi Feichei Looked at Conan, Left a Comment, and walked past A Group of People into the Villa Main Gate.
Conan: "..."
%@#&＝#...!
In the Living Room, Kisaki Eri Saw Chi Feichei come in, Turned Head to Greet him, "Hissashi, you're back."
"Uh-huh, Teacher's Wife, I'll Return to Room to Rest A Bit. Ayou, please send Lunch to my Room."
"Okay, Young Master Ike."
At the Villa Entrance, the three Children stared blankly at Chi Feichei's Figure disappearing up the Staircase, their Faces bewildered.
What were they waiting here for again?
Haibara Ai Speechless withdrew her Line of Sight, "He Bluffed his Way Through."
"That's right," Ayumi came back to her senses, "I still wanted to tell Brother Chi 'don't make everyone Worry'."
"This is Just following our Words and then Slipping Away when we're Unaware!" Mitsuhiko said.
Genta was indignant, "That's right, Brother Chi is too Cunning!"
"Who told you to Accuse me?"
Conan's Face was expressionless. He put his Hands in his Pants Pocket, Turned Around, and walked in the Direction Chi Feichei had come from.
He Originally wanted to Ask Chi Feichei what he went to do, But Suddenly didn't want to Care about These People anymore.
Especially Chi Feichei.
What did he mean by 'Black Sheep'? Excessive!
"Wait, wait!"
The three Children quickly chased after him.
Haibara Ai thought for a moment and Decided to Follow Conan anyway.
She also didn't want to Care about a certain person who ran around Alone, made everyone Worry, and successfully Bluffed his Way Through.
Doctor Agasa had a Headache and could only Follow, once again Following A Group of People running around.
...
Second Floor of the Villa.
After Chi Feichei Returned to Room, he took a quick Bath. When he Came Out, he Saw Hassashi lying by the Window. He Walked To the Cabinet and Looked at the Liquor.
Hassashi no longer Looked Outside the window. It darted onto the single Sofa, lay on the Handrail, and Looked at Chi Feichei, "Master, Conan isn't angry, is he? They just Left!"
Chi Feichei Inspected the House, Confirmed there were no Eavesdropping Devices, then Turned Around and Looked at the Liquor on the Wine Cabinet.
"Just let him be angry."
"Conan Should have Already figured out the Murderer's Crime Method by Now. Currently, he still needs to Confirm who the Murderer is."
"He has three Investigation Directions. First is to Check who can get the Key to the Reservoir Gate Switch. He can Ask Granny A-Fu or Resident Police Officer Tushi Yicheng."
"Second is to Check who sealed the various Exits of the Cave with Cement. The Houses in this Village are Traditional Wooden Structure. There aren't many Places where Cement can be used. To Seal those Cave Entrances, a large Amount of Cement is needed. Someone transporting a large Amount of Cement into the Village must be known. There aren't many People in this Village. If someone transports a large Amount of Cement into the Village, someone must know. The best people to Ask are Granny A-Fu, who is Hosting the Village's Matters, and Resident Police Officer Tushi."
"Finally, the Murderer used the Sacrifice Method to Crime. It's Possible to Suspect the Motive is Revenge Killing. It's necessary to Investigate the Situation of the Girl who was used as a Sacrifice more than twenty years ago. Similarly, the best people to Ask are Granny A-Fu and Tushi."
The Liquor in the Room's Wine Cabinet was brought back By the Way by Wakura Yuumi when he went to Mexico in pursuit of Mesoamerican Civilization. Most of it was Tequila and Mezcal.
Chi Feichei picked a bottle of Tequila and placed it On the Table.
"Among these Two People, Granny A-Fu Seemingly has prejudice against Outsiders and People related to the Wakura Family, and she keeps talking about Feudal Superstition like the Great Bird God. And Tushi is a Resident Police Officer sent by the Local Police Station. Priest and Resident Police Officer, Conan will tend to Choose the Police Officer he usually deals with more to inquire about the Situation."
"Last Night, when we were Outside Tushi Yicheng's Residence, I Saw something white, very much like Lime Powder, at the Entrance of the Resident Police Office. As Long As Conan Goes To Tushi Yicheng's Place, he Will Discover that Tushi Yicheng is the Murderer."
A bottle of green Mint Liqueur was placed next to the Tequila.
"Actually, everyone Don't Think they can't Contact the Outside World. Today, when Inspector Megure gets the Autopsy Report, he Will bring People Up the Mountain to prepare for another Inspection of the Crime Scene. He Will also Discover that the Suspension Bridge is Already broken. It Will take a long Time to Organize People to repair the Suspension Bridge. A Murderer who might Crime Again could be lurking in the Village that has been Sealed off from the Outside World. For the Safety of the People in the Village, he Will Go Back, temporarily apply for a Helicopter to Come Over, and at the Same Time, have one or two Police Officers use Mountaineering Equipment to go around to the Above of the Cliff Face and sneak into the Village first to Understand the Situation."
Chi Feichei Reached Out and Opened the Cabinet where the Cups and Plates were kept. His Gaze swept over the Cups inside, each with a strong Religious Feature, "Tonight, the Police Will meet with us. Conan Already knows the Murderer's Crime Method and who the Murderer is. He still needs to collect Evidence, But Tushi Yicheng still has a piece of Obsidian Mirror Shard that hasn't been sent out, and he Will Crime again. Conan and the Police Will Definitely use Tushi Yicheng's Next Goal as Bait and Grab him at the Crime Scene."
"Tushi Yicheng doesn't have the Patience to wait any longer, and he also Worries that if he waits, the Police On the Mountain Will Come Over. So, at most By Tomorrow Morning, he Will Start Doing it Again. As Long As he Starts Doing it, the Matters can be Solved."
"After the Matters are Solved, I had best Leave with everyone. Tonight, I had best also make Preparation with everyone. If I stay Alone, or if I Act Alone and disappear after the Police arrive, it Will seem very Suspicion after Fifteen Night Village disappears."
"Even if Conan only has a 30% Probability of Suspecting me, I won't give him that 30%."
A Wine Glass with a Flashy, Strange Pattern was picked out and placed next to the Wine Bottle.
"And Conan is Sulking with me, not only Will he not Come Over to Ask me for Clues anymore, he might even Go To Investigate where I went Just Now. This way, it can Extend their Investigation Time. Probably between two and five o'clock this afternoon, they Will have their Attention attracted by Investigating the Truth. Ai is also a Prideful Person. After Sulking, she won't Come Over to Ask me anything either, so I won't need to find a Method to send her away anymore," Chi Feichei closed the Cabinet Door, "During this Time, I need a Space where I won't be disturbed, to meet with Hongzi who is rushing here, to help Hongzi make Preparation or Formulate a Plan. Afterwards, I Will Naturally Integrate into the large Team assisting the Police in Grabbing the Human and Leaving. Hongzi Will stay behind to Seal and Control Fifteen Night Village, Handle the Matters before the Wakura Family Leaves and before the New Resident Police arrive."
Hassashi stared blankly at Chi Feichei walking towards the Room Door.
Did Master Intentionally make Conan and Ai angry? Is the Routine that Deep?
Chi Feichei Opened the Room Door, walked through the Corridor, and at the Stairwell Entrance, Said to the Old Maid Downstairs, "Ayou, are there Crushed Ice and Lemon Juice here?"
"Ah, yes," the Old Maid put the Rag On the Table and Looked up and Asked, "It's in the Kitchen. Do you want me to prepare it for you?"
Chi Feichei's Line of Sight swept over the Old Maid's Hand On the Table, not lingering, and walked Downstairs, "No Need, I'll Go Get it. By the Way, I'll Check if there are any Bartending Tools in the Kitchen."
Thank you for the rewards from Yihua╮Yiye, Lord Meng + rewards + rewards, then + chapters + chapters + chapters... cough.

(End of Chapter)
Chapter 867: Hmm, That Should Be It
Back Mountain.
Conan and the group perfectly missed Granny A-Fu and followed the Mountain Road to the Cliff.
"Wow, the Scenery here is really Good!" Ayumi looked around.
Mitsuhiko walked to the Cliff Edge, looking out at the entire Village and the endless Forest at the End of the Village. "You can see the whole Village!"
Doctor Agasa quickly said, "Pay attention to Safety, don't go to the Cliff Edge!"
"But, Why did we run all the way here?" Genta looked at Conan in Doubt.
They had followed Conan over.
"The one who inexplicably ran to this Place and needs to pay attention to Safety is the other Fellow, right?" Conan, with Half-Moon Eyes, walked towards the Big Tree by the Cliff Edge.
Walking along the way, he also felt Childish. He clearly knew that Chi Feichei and the others were joking, but he was sulking like a Child. Moreover, the others on the Road had also apologized to him, so he felt Sorry to keep a straight Face.
"The other Fellow?" Doctor Agasa didn't Understand.
"It's Brother Chi. There's Rock Ash on the side of his Shoe, not Soil, and there are no Scratch Marks from Bush Branches and Leaves on his pant legs, which Indicate he didn't go into the Forest but came here to the Cliff behind the Village. As Long As you follow the Direction he went back in and observe the Traces along the way, it's Easy to find out where he went Before," Conan looked at the Tree Trunk, pointing at a shallow Dust Mark. "There are Traces of climbing on the Tree Trunk, and the Footprint should also be left by him. He should have climbed up this Tree by the Cliff Edge by himself Before."
<(｀^)>
Even If Chi Feichei didn't Say anything, he had a Method to know where that Fellow went Before, hmph!
"What is Hissashi doing climbing a Tree?" Doctor Agasa looked at the Big Tree.
"Maybe he came to see the Golden Eagle. Golden Eagles like to build their Nest among the Cliffs," Conan Teasingly thought to himself that Chi Feichei had too much leisure time. He looked up at the steep Cliff Above. "See, there's also a Nest built by a Golden Eagle up there."
"Really!" Ayumi looked up.
Mitsuhiko's Eyes lit up. "What a Big Nest."
"There are quite a few Golden Eagle Feathers here. Looking at the roots, they shouldn't have fallen off long ago, But these Feathers are a Bit too Many, not like they fell off Naturally. He didn't just come to see the Golden Eagle, then got into a fight with the Golden Eagle..." Conan squatted down, Maliciously Speculating about what Chi Feichei did. He picked up a Feather from the Ground and Suddenly saw a shallower Footprint hidden under the Grassland. "Huh?"
"What's Wrong?" Doctor Agasa leaned over, bending down to look at the Footprint. "This Footprint isn't Big, it doesn't look like it was left by Hissashi. Did Hissashi meet someone from the Village here?"
"It's a Shoeprint from Straw Sandals," Haibara Ai also leaned over. "The only People who would wear Straw Sandals here should be the Villagers, But generally, Villagers don't wear Straw Sandals either. And the Person who has been wearing Straw Shoes..."
"Only that Priestess Granny!" Conan said with Certainty. "Moreover, the size of the Footprint is about the Same as the size of her Foot."
Mitsuhiko bent down and observed Aside. "Could it be a Footprint left by Priestess Granny from Previously?"
"No, the Field of Vision here is wide, the Wind is strong, and the Soil Quality is dry. If it were a Footprint left Before, it would Definitely be invisible by now," Conan squatted among the Grass, Looked around the Vicinity, and Reached Out to pull aside a clump of Wild Grass. "Moreover, the Feathers here are stepped on and pressed against the Ground. Looking at the Footprint, it was also left by that Priestess Granny. Looking at the Position of the toe, she should have stepped on it when leaving. In addition, Brother Chi's Footprints that stepped on the Golden Eagle Feathers were all left when he was leaving..."
Genta was Stunned. "Wh-What's the Intention?"
"In Other Words, Brother Hichiji came here first, climbed the Tree, and then the Golden Eagle arrived here, so none of his incoming Footprints stepped on the Golden Eagle Feathers," Haibara Ai summarized. "Afterwards, the Golden Eagle might have played around here, or attacked him, leaving far more Feathers on the Ground than would Naturally fall off. After that, that Priestess Granny came over, and they talked about something Before leaving. This way, that Priestess Granny would step on the Golden Eagle Feathers both coming and going."
"Brother Chi came here, perhaps through some Channel, knowing that Priestess Granny would come here to see the Golden Eagle, so he arrived here In Advance to wait..." Conan stood up and walked down the Mountain.
He thought about it again and again, and still didn't Think that Chi Feichei was simply here to see the Golden Eagle. If he wanted to see them, there was no need to hide it and come alone.
Chi Feichei shook them off and ran here alone, he Definitely had some Purpose!
He was more inclined to Speculate that Chi Feichei was secretly Investigating. As For Why he didn't bring them...
Chi Feichei is Not That Kind Of Person who likes to show off, doesn't like to explain or Deduce to People, and doesn't have a Competitive Spirit about who is better at Deduction. He Usually doesn't take the Opportunity to Deduce, so it wouldn't be because he wants to win against him. Most likely, he Thinks the Culprit this time is relatively Dangerous and wants to investigate clearly and have Certainty Before letting them get involved.
After All, Present, they Don't Know who the Culprit is or where they are hiding. So Many People in the Village could have committed the Crime. It's impossible to Stare at them all, and impossible to Defend against them all. They have So Many People, running around making a fuss. If they startle the snake, it will be Troublesome if the Culprit targets them.
Hmm, that Should be it.
Doctor Agasa and the others Followed Conan.
Genta pressed on, "Why did Brother Chi want to meet that fierce Priestess Granny?"
"He Should be looking for Clues about the Culprit," Conan Said. "When we went to the Sacrificial Tree to Investigate this morning, I Said to you that Brother Chi speculated that the Culprit's Modus Operandi was to Utilize the Cave's Air Pressure. Although we were blocked by Priestess Granny at the time, Afterwards, when we returned to the Villa, Brother Chi reminded us that the Sacred Tree and the Sacrificial Tree were in a straight line. We went to verify it and also discovered the Mechanism under the Sacred Tree, which Confirms that Brother Chi's Speculation about the Modus Operandi is Correct. And he should have wanted to Find People based on the Method to understand who could get the Switch Controller for the Reservoir Gate, or who could install that Kind Of Thing. Also, who bought a large Amount of Cement into the Village in the Recent month. Maybe he also wanted to Ask about the Situation of the Girl who was Sacrificed more than twenty years ago. And the People who have Knowledge of the Small Matters in the Village are only the Priestess Granny who is Hosting the Village affairs and the Police Officer, Officer Tsuchishi. However, Officer Tsuchishi is only in his twenties, so he Should Don't Know about the Matters from more than twenty years ago. He Should have Chosen to Ask Priestess Granny..."
"Ah, then does Brother Chi Already Know who the Culprit is?" Mitsuhiko eagerly pressed on.
Conan Suddenly let out a 'pfft' and Spoke Out laughing.
"Probably not," Haibara Ai guessed Why Conan laughed and Glanced at Conan. "That Priestess Granny is not very Easy to talk to. There are unnaturally shed Golden Eagle Feathers at the Crime Scene, and when Brother Hichiji went back, he wasn't willing to chat much with us, and he impolitely pointed out that a certain Person was a Black Sheep. It seems his Mood isn't very Good, he Should have had no Gain. Moreover, if he knew who the Culprit was, there would be no Reason to Conceal it for the Culprit, and he would also tell everyone and Discuss how to get in Contact with Inspector Megure and the others from the Outside World. At least the Deduction would be left to Edogawa."
"Hey, I'm telling you..." Conan was Speechless.
"Why should the Deduction be left to Conan?" Mitsuhiko Asked.
"Because Edogawa is a Deduction Tool." Haibara Ai Said seriously.
Conan: "..."
Understood, Haibara is probably a Bit unhappy because she can't figure out Why Chi Feichei didn't tell them anything?
But Haibara could just go and confront Chi Feichei, Why vent her Anger on him...
Never Mind, as soon as he Realized that Chi Feichei might have Said that because his Investigation wasn't going well and he was in a bad Mood, he felt amused. That Fellow would Actually throw a Childish Temper tantrum, it's quite cute.
Since he was in a Good Mood, he would let Haibara be.
These two Childish Fellows who Usually have a Cold and arrogant Face!
"Then are we going to Find Priestess Granny?" Ayumi frowned. "What if she refuses to tell us Clues?"
"No, we're going to Find Officer Tsuchishi. Maybe Brother Chi has Already gone there," Conan Said with a determined Face. "Let's first figure out who the Culprit is. As For Whether the Culprit's Motive is related to the Matters from more than twenty years ago, and what exactly happened back then, let the Culprit tell us Onself!"
...
In the Wakura Family Villa.
Kisaki Eri, Wakura Ryoji, Tiantang Qinghua, and the others were Still together, each with a Mockingbird Cocktail.
Kisaki Eri wanted to go out and Investigate, But someone had to stay and watch the Wakura Family People. Moreover, After Chi Feichei went Downstairs and mixed the Liquor, he went back to his Room. As his Teacher's Wife, she had to Help take care of Tiantang Qinghua, who was currently without support and was her Husband's only Disciple's Old Schoolmate.
In the Second Floor Room, Chi Feichei sat at the Table Front drinking Liquor. He didn't go To Tushi Yicheng as Conan speculated, and he wasn't 'cute' at all as Conan speculated.
Koizumi Akako had Already secretly hidden from the others and arrived in Chi Feichei's Room. She dipped her Finger in Ice Water and drew on the Table. "According to your Idea, you plan to make this Village disappear from the Public's Field of Vision. Blocking the Mountain Road Entrance is very simple. When I came on my Broom, I Looked at the Mountain Road from the Air. As Long As a Road is built at this Corner, connecting to the Bend behind it, and a Magic Array is set up at this Intersection, People passing by will see this Intersection leading to the Village as a Cliff. What they see will also be a Cliff, and they will only pass through the newly built Road."
That is to directly build a Substitute Road and then block off the original Intersection.
Chi Feichei also dipped his Finger in Ice Water and drew a horizontal String next to the original Intersection. "Dig a Deep Ditch here and build a Suspension Bridge. We Know the Location of the Suspension Bridge and won't fall down, But if someone enters the Intersection leading into the Village rashly without Knowing the Location of the Suspension Bridge, there's a high Probability they will fall into the Deep Ditch and fall off the Real Cliff, After All, the original Road is right next to the Cliff."
Koizumi Akako was Speechless. "Then Whether or Not we should just destroy the original Road and only use the Suspension Bridge to connect?"
"If you Think it's Convenient, you can," Chi Feichei drank a sip of Liquor with a Calm Expression. "If someone who can't Think straight comes here wanting to jump off the Cliff to Suicide, then fulfill them. I Don't Want To them to fail to die and accidentally wander into the Village and See something they shouldn't See, nor do I Hope the Police can't Find the Corpse of the Person who should have fallen off the Cliff."
Koizumi Akako Teasingly thought 'Evil Child of Nature' in her Heart. After Thinking for a Bit, she continued, "But Before breaking the Road, there's a bigger Problem to Consider. With my Magic Power, blocking a Place as Big as our Laboratory is Already the Limit, and in the future, I will have to continuously repair the Magic Array and replace the Magic Materials. If the area from the Intersection to the Three Great Mountains disappears from the Public's Field of Vision, my Magic Power is not Sufficient to do it, and I don't have enough Magic Materials on Hand. Even If Mr. Shinnosuke helps collect all the Magic Materials still existing in the World, it might not be enough for us to block such a large piece of Land, and some worn-out Magic Materials will need to be replaced After one year."
End of Chapter
Chapter 868 Koizumi Akako: Live Version of Fear
"Are there other solutions?" Chi Feichei asked.
If there were no other solutions, then they would have to give up.
The manpower, material resources, and financial resources required to collect Magic Material all over the World would be enough to find a more suitable place, or directly dig out a few large underground Palaces.
"Yes, there are," Koizumi Akako's lips curled up slightly, but her eyes staring at Chi Feichei revealed an evil intent, like a Demon tempting people to fall, "I can open the Holy Spirit Gate and directly borrow the Divine Power to complete this large-scale Illusion Magic. It doesn't require consuming Magic Material, but our only choice is Satan. Only he doesn't need those Magic Material that are now impossible to find as an exchange, and is willing to lend me power just with Blood Sacrifice. However, in that case, we will need a large number of living people as Sacrifice."
Chi Feichei could tell at a glance that Koizumi Akako had fallen into Chuunibyou fantasy again. This girl looked like she was 'super evil', but she was actually just a harmless Little White Rabbit, "How many people do you estimate are needed?"
The smile on Koizumi Akako's Face froze, "Are you really planning Blood Sacrifice?"
"I'm considering it," Chi Feichei didn't rush to give an answer, "You say the number of people first."
"Dozens or hundreds are not enough, about a thousand Sacrifices should be enough," Koizumi Akako looked at Chi Feichei meaningfully, "But if it's certain special people, maybe one would be enough."
"Magic Person of Light?" Chi Feichei asked without thinking.
"Isn't your relationship with him pretty good?" Koizumi Akako had Black Lines on Forehead.
She was hinting that Chi Feichei should Sacrifice himself, why did Chi Feichei think of Sacrificing the Magic Person of Light?
And he asked it without even thinking.
Chi Feichei's Face didn't change much, "Just kidding."
Koizumi Akako: "..."
Please don't say you're joking with a cold Face, it doesn't have the Atmosphere of a Joke, thank you.
Chi Feichei didn't mention Conan again, "I want to Confirm two Problems. First, will using Blood Sacrifice have any adverse effects on you?"
Koizumi Akako saw that Chi Feichei was considering her, and felt a little touched in her Heart. She said seriously, "As a Medium for energy transfer, my Body will have some Damage, but it will Recover after a period of rest. As long as I take good care of myself, there will be no Aftereffects."
"Then the second Problem, the Blood Sacrifice you mentioned, specifically requires Blood, Life, or Soul?"
"Blood Sacrifice of course requires Blood..." Koizumi Akako paused, and looked at Chi Feichei with a somewhat dull Gaze, "You wouldn't be thinking..."
"An Adult has about 4500 milliliters of Blood, and a thousand people is 4500 liters," Chi Feichei said, "If only Blood is needed, we can spend money to buy it from the Black Market."
Koizumi Akako didn't know what Expression she should use to face Chi Feichei, so she simply learned from Chi Feichei and put on a calm Face. It was very effective, and she began to consider the feasibility, "I remember in the Records passed down from my Ancestral Records, it is recorded as using Human Blood as Sacrifice, and it didn't mention that people must die, but since it is a Sacrifice to Satan, it is impossible for no one to die..."
"Can you Confirm it?" Chi Feichei asked.
"No Method, the Ancestral Records are recorded like that, and there's no way to Ask Satan," Koizumi Akako lowered her voice, "Every time I use the Holy Spirit Gate to borrow Divine Power, I can't Communicate with them. Even if they can speak, they are very rigid. I suspect that the Deities are already Offline, and only their Power and a certain specific borrowing Rule are left."
"Maybe they have been made into Containers for storing Power." Chi Feichei's voice also lowered a little, and under his calm tone, the voice sounded a little cold.
Koizumi Akako shuddered. She was just guessing that the Deities had left some Power and went to other Places. Death was the most terrifying Answer, but Chi Feichei's guess was even more terrifying, "D-Don't scare me."
"Don't worry, that kind of Salary won't be your turn anyway, and it's a good thing that the Deities are dead," Chi Feichei said calmly, "If Satan is still alive, then Jehovah might also be alive. You can borrow Satan's Power, maybe Others can also borrow Jehovah's Power."
Koizumi Akako imagined the situation where Jehovah was still alive, imagined the outcome of herself being crippled and then sent to the stake to be burned to death, and took out the Crystal Ball out of thin air and hugged it tightly.
The evil Child of Nature's Words are too scary.
Chi Feichei looked Speechless at Koizumi Akako's Performance of a live version of fear, "You first open the Holy Spirit Gate and Ask Satan."
"No Need," the Crystal Ball spoke out happily, "Lady Hongko, Child of Nature, there are two Mirrors in this Village. You only need to use Magic to seal about two hundred people's worth of Blood into the Night Mirror, place the Day Mirror in a High altitude, and then try to use the Holy Spirit Gate to guide Satan's Power to cast Illusion Magic. It can be maintained for a year. In this way, Lady Hongko doesn't need to be a Medium for Power transfer, and doesn't need to Worry about Injury, and no one needs to die. However, after a year, those two Mirrors will turn into Dust, so the Illusion Magic can only be maintained for a year."
"Only one year?" Koizumi Akako frowned.
"One year is enough," Chi Feichei said, "In the future, we can try to use Equipment to affect Magnetic Field and other Methods to shield Satellite capture, and use Projection, Curtain and other Visual Deception Means to shield the Line of Sight of passersby."
If Metaphysics is not enough, Science can make up for it.
Koizumi Akako was stunned, "Then why are we still borrowing Satan's Power?"
"Buying Blood is cheaper, and it's not easy to reveal Opening." Chi Feichei said without thinking.
Koizumi Akako: "..."
Cheaper? Is this the so-called spirit of a profiteer?
"Support it for a year. With the Technology Development Speed of Shinchi Group, the cost of manufacturing this type of Equipment should be much lower after a year, and it will be more Perfect."
Chi Feichei also had an Idea, he could use the Time BUG of this World.
Anyway, this Year is very long, and it won't pass no matter what. When the Mirror fails, who knows what the Technology Level of Shinchi Group will develop into.
However, he still had a Problem to Confirm with the Crystal Ball.
"What exactly are those two Mirrors?"
"Two clumsy Toys," the Crystal Ball's voice revealed a hint of disdain, "They are just easier to transmit the Deity's Power than the Holy Spirit Gate. They are probably Small Toys left by a certain Deity in order to obtain Faith of Believers back then. They are simply incomparable to me!"
Chi Feichei didn't Ask any more questions. Since they weren't that precious, then it would be fine if they were scrapped after a year, "Hongzi, do you have any Problems?"
His Body changed back and forth, but he still had no Magic Power, so he could only let Koizumi Akako busy herself.
"I don't have any Problems here," Koizumi Akako thought for a while, "But what about the Villagers here? We want to build a Base here, we need their Cooperation, or move people away quietly, but that also requires them to Help Conceal the Location here."
"No, we can't let people leave. If so many people are released, Matters can't be Concealed," Chi Feichei said, "And these people are also useful. They don't have much contact with the Outside World, and they are Believers themselves. I have Observed that their Physical Fitness is also much stronger than those Outside. Don't you Think this is more Suitable for Training than the people in your Unlucky Base?"
"That's true," Koizumi Akako deeply agreed, "The people over there are too thin and weak. So what do we do? Use Chocolate?"
"You go talk to their Priestess, that Priestess has a lot of Influence in the Village. Coax that Priestess, and then use Chocolate to Control some Young Adult Men, using both Methods," Chi Feichei paused, "Try to talk as much as possible. If the negotiation breaks down, Dispose of the Priest Lineage."
Priest Lineage, currently he has discovered three people: Granny A-Fu, Tushi Yicheng, and...
The Old Maid Ayou Downstairs!
The Thumb fingernails of these three people all have the exact same Dent.
If he hadn't Seen Ayou's Right Hand Thumb just now, he would have almost missed it.
If Granny A-Fu is to be Disposed of, then Tushi Yicheng and Ayou must also be Disposed of together, to avoid leaving Hidden Danger.
Afterwards, create a situation where Granny A-Fu voluntarily passes the position to Koizumi Akako or Others, and use religion to Control the Villagers. He also has to inquire about it, and it is best to organize the Villagers to do a Paternity Test to avoid any other fish slipping through the Net.
...
After Koizumi Akako avoided the Informants of Others and found Granny A-Fu, Granny A-Fu was quickly coaxed.
Chi Feichei didn't Care about what Koizumi Akako did. He stayed in the Villa Room and waited for Feimo to arrive, and let Feimo go to a Place with Signal to transmit the 'Blood Requirement' to Chi Shinnosuke. Afterwards, he looked at the Terrain Map reflected by the Crystal Ball while drawing a Terrain Map on his Laptop.
The construction of the Village can be planned later, but before the new Police Officer arrives, they have to set up the Illusion Magic.
It's not just drawing a Hoop casually to Finish it. To make this Area of the Village disappear perfectly, it is also necessary to Confirm the Boundary Point of the Illusion Magic according to the Surrounding Area Terrain. It must be hidden without leaving a Trace, and it must be set up in a Perilous Location so that people cannot enter the Village from the Boundary.
When Koizumi Akako came back, seeing that Chi Feichei hadn't Finished yet, she sat Aside and waited, "Granny A-Fu said that the Day Mirror is with her Grandson Tushi Yicheng... No, it should be said that there is still the last Fragment with Tushi Yicheng, and the remaining three Fragments are with you. The Night Mirror is not in her Hand either. The Night Mirror in her Hand is just an Imitation she made."
"I know," Chi Feichei Staring at the Computer, "When you were talking before, I asked the Crystal Ball to reflect the Situation. The Crystal Ball Judged that Granny A-Fu was not Lying. Don't Worry about the Mirror. The Real Night Mirror is in the Wakura Family. We will find an Opportunity to take it Tomorrow."
Koizumi Akako knocked on the Crystal Ball, "Crystal Ball, it doesn't matter if the Day Mirror is broken, right?"
"Lady Hongko, please rest assured, it can be used." The Crystal Ball Promised.
Koizumi Akako Relaxed, Turned Head and looked at Chi Feichei's Computer Screen, and Asked casually, "Has Feimo been sent to convey the News that Blood is needed?"
"Uh-huh, it will take at least two days for my Father to send the Blood," Chi Feichei Estimated, pulling a String with the mouse to draw a picture, "I Asked the Crystal Ball just now, building Buildings does not consume energy to set up Illusion Magic. The Information I sent Feimo is that we need Blood for three hundred people. Let's simply borrow more of Satan's Power. While Guaranteeing that the Illusion Array can be maintained for a year, we will use the excess Power to rebuild the Village."
"Rebuild?" Koizumi Akako's Eyes lit up, and she tried hard to Suppress the excitement in her Heart, keeping a reserved and subtle Smile on her Face, "Then I'll just build a Palace."
"Just build?" Chi Feichei Asked without raising his Head, "Don't want a Pyramid?"
This time Koizumi Akako will have to exert a lot of Effort, and he felt it was necessary to satisfy Koizumi Akako's Chuunibyou Fantasy.
"P-Pyramid? Cough, then build a Pyramid, this will also be convenient for me to do Divination in the future..."
Koizumi Akako paused for a second, no, she felt that the excitement in her Heart could not be Suppressed.
Turning her Head to the side, she raised her Right Hand to block her Face and covered her mouth to Smile.
"Your Idea is really great! Oh ho ho ho ho~"
(End of Chapter)
Chapter 869: The Spoiling Attribute Also Emerges
Six o'clock in the afternoon.
Chi Feichei finished determining the boundary points for the Illusion Magic and created a new file on the computer.
Koizumi Akako, who had been eagerly waiting beside him for a long time, asked, "What kind of Pyramid are you going to build?"
"Modeled after Teotihuacan City."
Chi Feichei skillfully drew the diagram, "Not just the Pyramid, but the overall layout as well. Although it's impossible to make it as large as the Pyramid there, we can build it scaled down proportionally."
Teotihuacan City, also known as the 'Place Where Gods Were Created', the 'Holy City'.
In the center is a north-south avenue, very wide, called the 'Avenue of the Dead', also known as the Road of Death, Netherworld Avenue, Path of the Dead.
The Sun Pyramid is located on the east side of the Avenue of the Dead, in the middle section. It is trapezoidal, facing west from the east. The bottom four layers have a total of three hundred and sixty-four Steps, plus the one Step on the top layer, making it three hundred and sixty-five Steps. The top layer is topped with the Sun God Temple and altar.
Moreover, there is a smaller Pyramid inside the Sun Pyramid. When he visited Teotihuacan City in his previous life, it was already forbidden to visit. He secretly slipped in to take a look, but it was unoriginal, not as good as redesigning it.
In addition, a Passage leading to the Underground Building must be added.
He had considered the load-bearing issue before, but the Crystal Ball told him to just draw the diagram, and then use Magic Power to directly adjust it to the best Structure.
The Moon Pyramid is at the northern end of the avenue, with the Moon Plaza in front, used for important religious activities and Sacrifice activities. The Moon Pyramid is shorter than the Sun Pyramid, but because the terrain where it is built is higher, it looks level with the Sun Pyramid. Moon God Temples and altars are also added on top of the Steps, and internal Buildings and Underground Level Passages must be added inside.
To the right front of the Moon Pyramid is the Butterfly Palace, which is the Residence of the Priest and a place for daily Prayers.
At the southern end of the avenue is the Feathered Serpent Temple Castle, a huge square Castle Building with 12 City Towers on the city walls, and Temples and altars inside the Castle.
Conch Palace, Jaguar Palace…
Finally, there are Residential Area.
The characteristic of the Residences in Teotihuacan City is that they are square, with a square Courtyard in the middle, arranged in rows on both sides of the Avenue of the Dead.
Koizumi Akako's Interest never stopped.
"Add another Pyramid!"
"Where?"
"Here! And, add a large Bath here... Add a Palace here, for the Golden Eagle to live in, add a Pyramid here... Oh, right, Child of Nature, don't forget Stone Sculptures, I want beautiful Portrait Stone Sculptures!"
"Go get them yourself."
Koizumi Akako fell into contemplation.
Chi Feichei drew for a while, and when he looked up, he found Koizumi Akako still with a Serious Face and silent, "If you can't think of a Stone Sculpture style, just make something random."
"It's not that," Koizumi Akako stroked her chin and pondered, "I was thinking, is the Gold I collected in Africa enough? And can I ask Mr. Shinnosuke to transport it here in two or three days?"
Chi Feichei had a premonition that Koizumi Akako's middle school syndrome had not yet fully Burst, "What do you want to do?"
Koizumi Akako proudly raised her chin, and said in a matter-of-course Tone, "The Sun Pyramid must of course be built with Gold to match my Identity as the orthodox Red Magic Heir, and how can it be called a Pyramid if it's not built with Gold? The Moon Pyramid will be made of Silver, it must be very beautiful under the Moonlight at Night, and the Feathered Serpent Temple will be made of Jewels... No, Jewels are definitely not Sufficient, then use Obsidian, and add Jewels as embellishments!"
Chi Feichei: "..."
It seems Hongzi not only had a middle school syndrome Burst, but her spoiling attribute also emerged.
Although it's okay to spoil oneself occasionally when happy, isn't Hongzi afraid of being blinded by the Sun under the Sun?
The Crystal Ball's flattery followed, "Lady Hongko's Idea is really good!"
Hassashi was also eager to try, "Master, I also think it's good..."
Koizumi Akako continued, "The Residences of the Villagers can't be too bad either, but they still have to be distinguished from the Pyramids, let's use good-looking Stones!"
"Load-bearing will be a Problem, we can only add a layer of gold plating outside the Pyramids, and in two or three days, your Gold will definitely not be transported here," Chi Feichei poured cold water on her.
Koizumi Akako: "..."
"Lady Hongko, don't worry, load-bearing can be solved by using Magic Fusion with high-hardness Metal, and there's no need to Consider the transportation Problem. When the time comes, we can directly borrow Satan's Power to move Things over!" the Crystal Ball said excitedly, "I can also Help determine the Location of some Unowned Gold Mines. If we can find Suitable Mine Caves, you won't have to Worry about not having enough Gold!"
Five minutes later, Koizumi Akako, Hassashi, and the Crystal Ball huddled together and began searching for Unowned Gold Mines, Silver Mines, and Diamond Mines, as excited as three bandits.
Half an hour later, the Maid Ayou knocked on the Door, saying that the Children had returned and Dinner was ready.
Chi Feichei asked Ayou to bring Dinner up, and spent more than ten minutes completing the '2.0 Deluxe Edition Fifteen Night Village Diagram'. At the same time, Ayou also delivered the Meals.
Eating in the Room, he could spare a Portion for Koizumi Akako.
Koizumi Akako did not Stay Long. After eating, and after Chi Feichei used a Data Cable to transfer the Diagram to her Mobile Phone, she jumped out of the Window and left on her broom, preparing to stay at Granny A-Fu's Shrine for a few days.
Chi Feichei tidied up the Room, picked up five long Red Hairs from places such as beside the Table and in the Washroom and Burned them, and re-examined everything to Confirm that all Traces left by Koizumi Akako had been Cleaned Up, before carrying the Tray and Empty Plate out of the Room and Go Downstairs.
A Group of Children had just Called Doctor Agasa and were preparing to Go Upstairs to Care about Chi Feichei, who was Suspected of being in a Shut-in State. Seeing Chi Feichei Go Downstairs, they sat back down.
"Have you already finished eating?" Ayou greeted him and Step Forward, "Let me take those Things."
Chi Feichei Handed Over To Ayou the Plate, and Turn Head to Look, Fukuura Reiji and Iiai Takuto, the two missing people, had returned.
Kisaki Eri saw Chi Feichei Look at the two, and explained, "They didn't leave the Village. At that Time, it was too dark, and they accidentally fell into the Cave. Officer Tsuchishi Helped bring people to find them today."
Fukuura Reiji and Iiai Takuto had already changed their Clothes, but they looked pale.
It was understandable, they had been Hungry since last Night until now, and they couldn't sleep well in the Cave. It would be strange if they were energetic.
"The two of you should go Rest first," Wakura Misa said with Concern.
Conan quietly tugged at Chi Feichei's Hem. After Chi Feichei sat down on the Sofa, he approached Chi Feichei's ear, "Hey, I Say... Pfft, you wouldn't be angry because you Asked Priestess Granny about the Situation in the morning, and as a Result, you hid in your Room and didn't want to come out, right?"
Chi Feichei Guessed that Conan's Deduction was probably wrong, but he didn't explain, and perfunctorily Said, "No."
Conan didn't believe it, but he didn't tease Chi Feichei anymore. He whispered to Chi Feichei about their Discovery.
The Murderer is Tushi Yicheng.
Although Deducing the Crime Method, plus the Cement at Tushi Yicheng's Place, could be used as a Basis for Suspecting Tushi Yicheng of Murder, there was room for sophistry, not Sufficient to make Tushi Yicheng Confess, and the Police hadn't come either.
As Chi Feichei expected, Conan Intended to catch him in the act.
...
The next morning, Villagers gathered at Mozushou Shrine, preparing to hold a Festival Activity that occurs once every three hundred years.
Not only Chi Feichei and others came, but Wakura Yuumi, who had been Bedridden due to Heart Disease, also arrived in front of the Shrine.
Tushi Yicheng stopped Wakura Yuumi at the Shrine Gate, and said anxiously in a low voice, "Mr. Wakura, it's very Dangerous for you to come to the Festival now. Your two Children have already been Murdered!"
"Yes," Wakura Misa said while wiping away Tears, and Looked Towards Wakura Ryoji, "Older Brother Ryoji, you should also persuade Father!"
"Hmph," Wakura Ryoji said angrily, "No matter what I Say, he won't listen."
Chi Feichei Walked To between Tushi Yicheng and Wakura Yuumi, and lowered his voice, "Mr. Wakura..."
"Young Master Ike, you don't need to Say anything, I must come," Wakura Yuumi said resolutely, "I own most of the Land in this Village, I am the de facto Village Chief, I have the Qualification and also the obligation to participate in the Sacrifice activities of this Village!"
"But..." Tushi Yicheng hesitated, "Although you may be unhappy to hear me Say this, the Villagers are probably not welcome you to Come Over."
"What does that Matter?" Wakura Yuumi Said, and Walked directly Towards the Plaza.
Tushi Yicheng hurriedly followed, looking nervous, "Since you insist so much, then there's no Method, I will be on Vigilance for you, please don't leave my Side later."
"Then I'll have to Trouble you, Tushi," Wakura Yuumi straightened his Clothes and Stepped into the Shrine, "The Festival is about to begin, let's hurry over too."
There is a large Plaza in the Shrine, with Sacrifice Tree and God-Dwelling Tree in the center as well.
As soon as Noon arrived, a high-pitched Flute Music suddenly sounded in the Shrine.
A Group of strong Villagers rushed out from all directions. These people were bare-chested, draped in Bird Feather, and wore Bird Beak Masks on their Faces.
"Wow!"
Genta, Ayumi, and Mitsuhiko opened their Eyes wide.
"Please be Quiet, this is our Clothing specially used for Sacrifice," Granny A-Fu, standing on the Steps of the Shrine Gate, Said, couldn't help but Look at Chi Feichei a few more times, then put on a Serious Face, holding an Obsidian Mirror, walked down the Steps and Towards the White Cloth Platform, "Then, Village Chief, please go to the God-Dwelling Tree."
Wakura Yuumi Walked Towards the Sacrifice Tree in the middle of the Plaza.
Tushi Yicheng looked apprehensive, and also followed.
Conan looked up at Chi Feichei beside him, and when he saw Chi Feichei Nod slightly, he relievedly withdrew his Line of Sight and Looked Towards the stout Big Tree tied with Shimenawa in the field.
"Although I am unwilling to Say this, but regardless of Ability or contribution to the Village, I should Call you Village Chief..."
Granny A-Fu raised the Obsidian Mirror, aimed the Mirror at the Sacrifice Tree, sighed secretly, and silently added in her Heart: It's also the last time.
"This, this Mirror..." Wakura Yuumi Looked at the Tezcatlipoca carved on the Mirror, widened his Eyes, but didn't continue to Say, quickly lowered his Head, looking a little lost.
Granny A-Fu also ignored Wakura Yuumi's Emotion, and still with a Serious Face, "Then, please hold the God-Dwelling Tree on behalf of the Villagers, Say your Wish, and Pray with your Heart for the Great Bird God to arrive!"
Wakura Yuumi looked dejected but acted decisively to hug the Round Log placed on the Base.
"Mr. Wakura looks very unhappy," Ayumi whispered.
Chi Feichei Glanced at him, and no longer Pay Attention To Wakura Yuumi, but turned to Pay Attention To Tushi Yicheng, "Looks as desperate as if his beloved had died."
Others: "..."
His two Children died, it's indeed no Reason to be Happy and laughing.
In order not to leak Rumors, the Truth is temporarily only known to the Junior Detective League, Chi Feichei, Doctor Agasa, Kisaki Eri, and two Police Officers whom Inspector Megure secretly sent into the Village last Night. Tiantang Qinghua was a little worried and leaned closer to Kisaki Eri, "Lawyer Fei, will anyone else die today?"
"Don't Worry," Kisaki Eri put on a Smile on her Face, and whispered, "No one else will be Murdered."
"Woo..."
As Granny A-Fu raised the Obsidian Mirror in her Hand, the Villagers dressed as Birdman around her let out a low Cry, and used the Torches in their Hands to ignite the Sacrifice Tree.
Fukuura Reiji had recovered his Mental State after resting last Night, Turn Head and asked Wakura Misa with a gentle Face, "Miss Wakura, are they going to Burn the Sacrifice Tree?"
Tiantang Qinghua Glanced at Fukuura Reiji, and did not Say anything, continuing to Look Towards the center of the Plaza.
"It's Said to be like this," Wakura Misa explained, her Eyes still nervously Staring at her Old Dad who was hugging the God-Dwelling Tree, "Every three hundred years, the Villagers will Burn the Sacrifice Tree and replant it, Meaning the End of a Reincarnation and the arrival of a new beginning."
"Chirping chirping chirping..."
The high-pitched Cry sounded through the Village again.
Many people's Faces changed, but this Time nothing happened, and no Corpse appeared on the Burning Sacrifice Tree.
"Why?" Wakura Yuumi, hugging the God-Dwelling Tree, looked up in shock, "Why wasn't I Sacrificed?"
Tushi Yicheng stood in Original Place, his Right Hand in his Pocket was still desperately pressing the Remote Control Switch.
"Officer Tsuchishi," Doctor Agasa Stepped Forward, and said with a Serious Face, "Even if you press that Remote Control Button again, the Great Bird God will not descend!"
Chi Feichei stretched out his Right Hand from his Pants Pocket, and Threw a Remote Control the size of a Palm to Conan.
Chapter 870 The Culprit is So Arrogant, Are You Guys Not Going to Do Anything?
"Hey!" Conan quickly caught the Remote Control, trying to avoid pressing the two buttons for the Reservoir Gate's switch, and complained speechlessly, "Could you please not throw it? What if it accidentally falls on the Ground?"
Doctor Agasa also sweated a bit, and said to Wakura Yuumi, who was still holding the God-Dwelling Tree, "Mr. Wakura, please leave the Vicinity of the God-Dwelling Tree first."
Holding it at this time, isn't he afraid of death?
Tushi Yicheng understood at a glance, staring blankly at Hissashi, "You, when did you..."
Chi Feichei didn't explain to Tushi Yicheng, and went Aside to prepare to watch the Reasoning.
When did he switch the Remote Control in Tushi Yicheng's hand? Of course, it was before entering the Shrine, when he walked between Tushi Yicheng and Wakura Yuumi.
He was at least Magician's Apprentice, maybe his Hand Speed couldn't compare to Kuroba Toichi, but secretly switching a Remote Control was still no Problem.
Next, the Police Officer who had entered the Village before Inspector Megure last Night using Mountaineering Equipment also walked in from outside the Shrine.
Guided by Conan, Doctor Agasa and the other four members of the Junior Detective League cooperated in Reasoning, and also used a Quilt rolled up as a Victim in advance, put the rolled-up Quilt on the God-Dwelling Tree, and pressed the Switch of the real Remote Control, simulating a Crime Method.
"It's all this Fellow!"
After being exposed, Tushi Yicheng no longer concealed it, tore off the enthusiastic and honest Mask from Before, and stared at Wakura Yuumi with a face full of Resentment, "Twenty-three years ago, this Fellow, for his own future, to expand his own Company, didn't hesitate to Sacrifice a Woman who Love him, and treated my Mother as a Sacrifice!"
"Twenty-three years ago?" Wakura Yuumi was stunned, walked towards Tushi Yicheng, staring at Tushi Yicheng with his Eyes, Seemingly wanting to see the Young Man in front of him clearly, "Could it be that you are Machiko and my..."
"Don't Come Over!" Tushi Yicheng shouted and took two steps back.
"Mr. Wakura, what exactly is going on?" Kisaki Eri frowned and asked, "Did you really treat someone else as a Sacrifice?"
Wakura Yuumi sighed, took out the real Night Mirror from his arms, "It's all Because of this..."
"Indeed, it's you!" Granny A-Fu's Eyes suddenly turned red.
Kisaki Eri Looked at the two Mirrors, "Both are Night Mirrors engraved with Tezcatlipoca."
"The Mirror in his hand was Originally from Mozushou Shrine," Granny A-Fu lowered her Head and Looked at the Obsidian Mirror in her Hand, "After the real Night Mirror was stolen, I made this imitation Mirror."
Genta glanced at Wakura Yuumi, "Uncle's Home is so rich, and he's still a Thief?"
"No, no..." Wakura Yuumi sighed for a long time, recalling, "This was thirty years ago, at that Time I was still a University Student majoring in Archaeology Major, Because my Father suddenly passed away, I had to inherit the Family's Company that was about to go bankrupt. The Economy was much worse than it is now, a large number of Companies and Factories closed down. In order for the Company to survive, I could only constantly lay off Employee. My Mother was also hospitalized Because of overwork. I made up my mind that for my Mother in the Hospital and the remaining Employee of the Company, I had to survive that Cruelty Competition no matter what. But even if I inherited my Father's Bloodline, I didn't think I had Ability comparable to his. Even he was struggling to Support himself in that economic turmoil, and what about me? I only had the Power of Mesoamerican Civilization that I had Researched since Middle School Period..."
"Mesoamerican Civilization created hundreds of Pyramids, invented Base 20 and the Concept of 0, and possessed sophisticated Calendar System and Celestial Observation Technology. It is one of the greatest Civilizations in Human History. I wanted to Discovery the Secret and Source of this Power, and wanted to take this Power for myself," Wakura Yuumi Said, "This Civilization naturally also has Darkness. The people of Mesoamerican Civilization sacrificed the Hearts of Prisoner of War to Huitzilopochtli in order to be invincible, and in order to Sacrifice more Hearts, they continued to launch Wars, as if they had fallen into a Cursed Cycle. But as long as it could save my Company, I didn't Care what kind of Power it was, and even wanted more powerful Power. Huitzilopochtli can only control the Daylight, while the Night is dominated by the Darkness God, that is, the Night God Tezcatlipoca. If I could get both of these two Powers, when Daylight and Night become one, I would be able to obtain the Power to dominate the World."
Conan Half-Moon Eyes, this Uncle is abnormally Superstition.
Chi Feichei lit a Cigarette Aside and continued to listen to the Story.
If Wakura Yuumi had been born thirty years later, Koizumi Akako would have had an Opponent... an Opponent to compete with who is more foolish.
"At that Time, I heard a Classmate Say that in Japan, there was a Village that believed in Mesoamerican Civilization, and there were two Mirrors, which sealed the Power of the Sun God and the Night God respectively. I spent a lot of Time looking for this Village, and finally I found it," Wakura Yuumi Looked up at Granny A-Fu, "Although this place is called Fifteen Night Village, it is called that way to hide those two Mirrors. I saw through this at a Glance..."
"I Came Over here to Request the Villager to let me Look at the two Mirrors, but they Said that they were Sacred Mirrors that could only appear once every three hundred years and refused me. I was not willing to go back like this. When I found out that there was a young Witch in this Village, I tried to Approach this Witch, Konno Machiko."
"Although I Approached her for the Sacred Mirror, but as we interacted, we soon fell in Love. I also confessed everything to her. She was very angry at first, but after her anger subsided, she Said that Even If she violated the Taboo in the Village, she would help me. She gave me this Mirror, and thanks to this Mirror, my Company miraculously reversed the decline and developed faster and faster..."
"I don't remember my Daughter giving you this Mirror!" Granny A-Fu Said sharply.
"Daughter?" Wakura Yuumi was stunned and stood there dumbfounded.
"That's right, Machiko is my Daughter," Granny A-Fu glared at Wakura Yuumi, "Even if you didn't steal it, she was also bewitched by you, and violated the Taboo to steal the Mirror from Mozushou Shrine!"
Tushi Yicheng roared, "It's Because of you that my Mother sacrificed herself to Sacrificing to Gods!"
Wakura Yuumi was stunned, and quickly explained, "But, but I didn't ask her to Sacrifice herself for me!"
"Idiot, if you want to obtain the Power of the Sun God and the Night God, you definitely need Sacrifices," Granny A-Fu stared at Wakura Yuumi with Tears in her Eyes, "So she let you take the Night God Mirror away on the Day of the Annular Solar Eclipse twenty-three years ago, and she herself took the Sun God Mirror and volunteered to become a Sacrifice."
Wakura Yuumi knelt down on the Ground powerlessly, covered his Face with both Hands and wept, "How, how could this happen... I always thought she was retaliated by you, the Priest, and other Villager Because she gave me the Mirror, how could this happen... Machiko... Machiko..."
Chi Feichei's Finger paused, and a little bit of greyish-white Cigarette Ash fell Beside his Foot.
The Pace is wrong.
The Culprit didn't kneel, Wakura Yuumi knelt?
"You simply don't believe in your own Ability, but Machiko has always believed that you are a capable Person, and even gave Birth to Child for you," Granny A-Fu roared, "But you are still not Confidence, blindly pursuing some more powerful Power, you are just a greedy Man!"
"Yes, don't you want powerful Power? Then I will offer Sacrifices for you," Tushi Yicheng suddenly laughed wildly, "Are you satisfied now? Hahaha!"
Chi Feichei Turn Head, with a calm Face Said to the Little Police Officer Beside him, "He's so arrogant, are you guys not going to Care?"
Although he thought Wakura Yuumi's behavior of squeezing Employee over the years was stupid, Guess it was Because he had been under high pressure, his Mentality was out of balance, and he felt that others should also endure it, but as far as this Incident is concerned, Wakura Yuumi is really miserable enough. The Woman he liked was a wolf, and she sacrificed herself without Saying hello. The Son she left behind was also a wolf, and came to Retaliation after more than twenty years, and wiped out half of his four Siblings at once...
After learning that Wakura Yuumi was not aware of the truth, Even If Tushi Yicheng hated him again, Even If he could be cruel enough not to feel guilty, he Should have realized that he had misunderstood, right? As a result, this Fellow is unreasonable at all, and he still laughs so ugly.
In his two lifetimes, there have been many reasonable people around him. He himself may not be very reasonable. Sometimes, having Ability means you don't need to be reasonable, so he doesn't hate unreasonable people.
He doesn't hate hypocrites either. If he meets someone he is Interested in, he is still Interested in competing with the other party to see who can act better. If he meets someone he is not Interested in, for him, it is the Same as those 'true villains' and 'good old people'. As long as they don't provoke him, everyone can live in peace.
Tushi Yicheng is neither a true villain nor a hypocrite.
Hypocrites know that their Hearts are not Little White Sheep and try to disguise themselves as Little White Sheep, while Tushi Yicheng completely failed to Discovery that he is a Big Grey Wolf, and still firmly believes that he is a Little White Sheep. It's okay for him to Think so himself, but he also reveals a sense of 'everyone Thinks so, right? I am very Normal like this' of mysterious Confidence, which makes him feel that his Intelligence is being rubbed frantically on the Ground.
"Ah?" The Little Police Officer came back to his senses, looking at Chi Feichei foolishly.
Chi Feichei Say Nothing More, Step Forward, and extinguished the Cigarette Butt thrown on the Ground with his Foot.
Haibara Ai suddenly Reach Out and grabbed the Hem of Chi Feichei's Clothes, looked up and sized up Chi Feichei, "Brother Hichiji?"
Should be her Illusion, right? She Actually felt that her Brother Hichiji wanted to beat someone up.
Chi Feichei's Face was calm, "I want to Reason with Mr. Tushi."
Conan also couldn't stand it anymore, walked up to Wakura Yuumi, "Mr. Wakura, you Should have vaguely Sense who the Culprit is, right? You also Guess the Reason why he hates you. In order to compensate for all this, you just now took the initiative to hug the God-Dwelling Tree, so that you can be the Same as Miss Machiko."
"What, what?" Tushi Yicheng Looked at Wakura Yuumi in surprise, and when he saw Wakura Yuumi Default Assumption, he was stunned in Original Place.
Chi Feichei gave up his Intention to Step Forward and Reason with Tushi Yicheng, Right Hand Reached into his Pants Pocket, and took out a Cigarette Case with a black background and silver Characters.
Tushi Yicheng is not arrogant anymore? Could it be Conan's Mouth Cannon Great Conversion Technique? Unscientific, really unscientific.
The Cigarette Case was taken away by Haibara Ai, leaving Chi Feichei with no Opportunity to smoke to calm his nerves.
"Be moderate," Haibara Ai glanced at Chi Feichei, "Cigarettes and Liquor are the Same."
Chi Feichei did not hesitate at all, Reached his Right Hand into his Coat inner pocket, and took out a pack of unopened black box Cigarettes.
Haibara Ai was stunned for a moment, and immediately snatched the Cigarette Case, Staring at Chi Feichei.
(﹁"﹁)
Come on, if you have the Ability, take out another pack.
Chi Feichei Looked at Haibara Ai, and a pack of unopened Cigarettes slipped out of his Left Sleeve, and landed steadily in his Left Hand Palm.
Take it if you want.
