Chapter 1744 Everyone speaks of gold, accumulating and destroying bones
Chi Fei saw that Tsurumi was reluctant to say anything, and everyone else looked at him, put down the lunch box again, and explained, "The fragrance you smell should be the fragrance of elderberry flowers, where Jiang Shen originally planted elderberries.
This is the only place, and when it comes to elderberry, what people in Egamihara can think of is the Montgomery family. In fact, elderberry has something to do with me, but apart from Elizabeth, even Miss Tsurumi probably doesn’t know about this relationship.
Ms. Tsurumi probably wondered whether the murder was related to the Montgomery family, and she hesitated for the sake of Elizabeth's reputation. Of course, she didn't lie. The medicines in the herbal medicine shop were all prepared on the spot. There is indeed no bone setting here.
I have a box of ointment made of wood flower ingredients in my hand."
With that said, Chi Feichi took out a small box from his pocket and handed it to Maori Kogoro next to him.
After Mouri Kogoro opened the box, he came closer and smelled it, "It has such a strong smell of Chinese medicine!"
Koshizui Nanatsuki reached out and applied some ointment, put it under his nose, and carefully distinguished the complex smell in the ointment. "After the strong Chinese medicinal smell, there is a slight sweet floral fragrance."
"Is there any?" Mouri Kogoro tried to smell it again, but felt that the smell of the medicine was too strong, so he put the ointment box on the table.
Conan stepped forward and took a sniff, "It has a similar smell to the medicinal wine that Brother Chi gave to Mr. Kyogoku before. However, elderberry is a very popular medicinal material, so it is not surprising that it is used in ointments."
"Is elderberry a very popular medicinal material?" Ayumi asked curiously.
"The whole elderberry plant can be used as medicine. Depending on the prescription, it can be used in many ways, such as treating rheumatism, bruises, fractures or traumatic bleeding. I mainly use it as medicine for bruises," Chi Fei looked at it late.
Looking at the ointment on the table, "This ointment is similar to the medicinal wine I gave Kyogoku, except that the medicinal wine has a relatively strong analgesic effect and is suitable for use soon after being injured in a fight. This ointment is suitable for joint sprains, such as previous sprains.
Conan lost his foot..."
Conan: "?"
Was he suddenly called upon?
"It's so magical," Bumi exclaimed with bright eyes, "different medicinal materials can be combined to produce different therapeutic effects, just like magic!"
"I thought so at the beginning," Tsurumi Yezi's eyes softened, "Elizabeth is like a kind witch, using herbs from the herbal garden to mix various medicines to help injured or sick people.
Prevent disease."
"Dad, I told you before," Mao Lilan said to Maori Kogoro with a raised eyebrow, "The herbal tea made according to the recipe in Elizabeth's book is to help you regulate your body. Don't show that kind of drink in the future.
The expression of something strange.”
Mouri Kogoro whispered, "I don't think it's useful..."
"It can be seen that Ms. Tsurumi admires Ms. Elizabeth very much and has a very good relationship with her," Dr. Ali sighed, and then asked, "But Ms. Elizabeth has passed away. Ms. Tsurumi said what they smelled was
The scent of elderflower doesn’t matter, does it?”
"If word gets out that there is elderflower fragrance at the crime scene, maybe it will be like what I said," Chi Feichi said, "from the elderberry to the Montgomery family, and then to the witch, and then guess.
Will Elizabeth be resurrected to harm people? If people spread the word, if more people think so, Elizabeth will change from a kind lady to a vicious witch..."
Hearing Chi Feichi say "evil witch" in a cold tone, Yingmu Gong's eyelids twitched and his face darkened. He quickly lowered his eyebrows and continued to sit quietly aside.
"In addition, on the day when we all helped Elizabeth wake up, I talked about the legend that cats cannot enter the mourning hall," Chi Feichi continued, "The story is that after an old lady died, she was resurrected by a cat. After that, the old lady came back to life.
He turned into a half-man, half-cat monster and gradually lost his mind. At first he would eat live mice at night, and soon he would eat his own little granddaughter. He also hunted many people in the city. Because the story was quite gory, everyone seemed
If you are very frightened, it will be easier to think of Elizabeth. I am sorry for this..."
Conan: "..."
When his friends were keeping vigil at someone else’s funeral, wouldn’t they be ‘terribly frightened’ if they told a story about an old lady coming back to life and eating people?
Moreover, he suspected that Chi Feichi's words "more bloody" were based on Chi Feichi's own subjective consciousness, just like "Feichi usually doesn't bite" and "I'll tell you a less scary story".
judgment without considering the true feelings of the people who heard the story!
"You didn't know this would happen. I was just trying to cheer everyone up that day," Tsurumi Yezi expressed his understanding and said gratefully, "Thank you for understanding my thoughts and feelings."
"And once the rumor spreads, even if it can be proven that Mr. Toda's death has nothing to do with Elizabeth, when the people of Egamihara tell the story of Elizabeth to their children, they will no longer be a respectable figure, but will have some horror overtones, even
It may be used to scare naughty children," Chi Feichi paused, looking at Dr. A Li calmly and said, "A lot of words make gold, but accumulation destroys bones."
"Ah?" Yuantai looked confused, "Why do you want to destroy the bones?"
"It's 'A lot of words make a gold, but a heap of rubbish will destroy the bones'," Conan saw that Chi Feichi was saying something that the children didn't understand, and he explained to the three children speechlessly, "It means that if many people criticize,
Even something as hard as iron can be melted, and constant slander can make it difficult for people to survive."
"That is to say, public opinion plays a very important role," Chi Feichi calmly took over the words. "Everyone agrees and accumulates what is wrong. Rumors are terrible. They can confuse right and wrong and put people to death."
Conan: "..."
Hey, hey, if the children ask what they mean by "Ji Fei Cheng" or something like that, he won't explain it to Chi Fei Chi!
After Chi Feichi finished speaking, he looked at the ramen that had become a ball on the table and did not move his chopsticks again.
He didn't say this for children.
Thinking of the scent of elderflowers and the Montgomery family, this idea is not wrong.
Outsiders think that the Montgomery family has no descendants, so they may think of "Elizabeth's resurrection".
But he knew that there were actually two people in the Montgomery family lineage. One was Elizabeth's grandson, Sophia's son, Isao Sakuragi, who changed his name, and the other was Elizabeth's great-granddaughter Tsurumi Yoko.
One of these two people may have known his life experience and killed Jiro Toda.
When he mentioned the 'evil witch' before, it was easy for insiders to think of Sophia. At that time, Tsurumi Yoko was just frowning, while Sakuragi looked unnatural for a moment, and then quickly returned to calm. There were signs of deliberate concealment.
When it comes to "people's opinions make gold, accumulation destroys bones", I just want to test Yingmu Gong again and see Yingmu Gong's reaction.
Isao Sakuragi looked normal, and Tsurumi Yezi's reaction was even more normal. This time the temptation seemed to have been cleverly avoided, but it didn't matter. If one of these two people was the murderer, they would definitely care about how much he knew.
, sooner or later he will avoid other people from finding him.
He was not in a hurry to find out the murderer, he just wanted to get the situation under his control as soon as possible.
It is up to the murderer to decide whether he can continue killing people or go to jail immediately.
"Ms. Elizabeth is already dead, and it is impossible for her to die again..." Mouri Kogoro noticed that Tsurumi Zizi frowned in worry, and immediately patted his chest and said, "But don't worry, Miss Tsurumi, there are such details at the crime scene,
Neither the police nor us can spread the word casually before solving the case, and I can assure you that no one will damage Ms. Elizabeth’s reputation!”
Tsurumi Ye Zi breathed a sigh of relief, smiled and turned to look at the tea room, "I almost forgot, I made herbal tea for everyone!"
Seeing Tsurumi leaving tea, Mitsuhiko returned to the topic in confusion, "But then again, why did the murderer leave elderflower scent at the crime scene? Could it be that he wanted to smear Ms. Elizabeth's reputation?"
"Maybe she wants to put the blame on Brother Chi," Bumi looked serious and dissatisfied, "That's really abominable!"
"The same goes for Tsurumi-sister," Genta added, "she also has the fragrance of elderflower."
Have the same smell on you?
Koshizui Nanatsuki raised his eyes to look at Tsurumi Yoko who was coming out with a tray, and unknowingly thought of Reiko Akinewa, Suzu Chiga, Mai Kuraki and others, silently comparing them.
No matter what their personalities are like or what their facial features are, those women who are rumored to have a good relationship with Chi Feichi seem to have some common characteristics - long hair, fair skin, long legs, and a first-rate figure.
Although those were all artists and idols, and it was not surprising that they had outstanding appearances, she still wondered whether Chi Feichi was particularly fond of this type of women.
Under those conditions, Tsurumi Yezi has long hair, a pretty face, and as a mixed race, he is tall and has a better figure than others, speaks softly, and seems to have a good relationship with Chi Feichi, and both of them are good friends.
Know about herbal medicine...
Tsurumi Zizi went out and queued up hard to buy lunch for Chi Feichi. Chi Feichi immediately knew what Tsurumi Zizi was worried about. The two of them stayed at the herbal medicine shop in the early morning. They both had the same smell...
"That could be a coincidence, right?" Dr. Ali joined the team of speculating on the case. "The murderer may just like the scent of elderflower, or he may have something like a sachet on his body."
Conan didn't say anything, just lowered his head and thought silently.
No, the murderer used a very special method to commit the crime. He also sent a threatening letter from the 'witch' in advance, clearly guiding everyone to think about Montgomery's house. Moreover, things like sachets could not keep the entire underground audio-visual room occupied for a long time.
It smells like elderflower, so it can't be a coincidence.
As for whether it was to discredit Elizabeth's reputation, he couldn't tell yet.
Because the murderer may have wanted to kill people for a long time. After listening to Chi Feichi's story on the night of the wake, he suddenly had an idea and formulated this murder plan just to make everyone think that it was done by a witch, thereby misleading the investigating police.
, to facilitate one's own escape.
And since Elizabeth voluntarily gave the inheritance to the people in the will, the murderer also said, "What belongs to the witch belongs to the witch," as if those people should not inherit the inheritance. This is very contradictory. If the murderer wants to mislead the police, he can first follow the instructions.
Isn't it more reasonable to point out the reason for "repentance" in Elizabeth's will and leave the words "found these people unworthy"?
Therefore, the most likely thing is that the murderer left elderflower scent at the crime scene, not to mislead, but as a special 'mark' when committing the crime, to express what the murderer himself wanted to express...
