The others looked at the safe and sound Isesaki Mahide, and their frightened moods at the sight of the shrill cat meowing eased.
"By the way, let me use this sawed-off tree to burn the witch to death!" Isesaki Mahide stared at Tsurumi Yoko, "It is most appropriate to use this magic tree to burn the witch to death.
Got it!"
For a moment, Chi Feichi's face turned dark again, feeling that he was seriously offended.
"Leave it to me, he is my target."
Yingmu Gong whispered, walking toward the crowd with a livid face. When he passed by Chi Feichi, he heard Chi Feichi behind him say something in a soft but determined voice.
"If things are revealed and you want to leave here, just walk into the fire yourself. I will protect you from death."
…
"You bad guy, don't hurt Sister Tsurumi!"
In front of the crowd, three children blocked Tsurumi Yoko, and Genta pointed at Isesaki Mahide and shouted "bad guy".
Koshimizu Nanatsuki stood next to Tsurumi Yoko, with his hands folded and holding a knife in front of him, staring at Isesaki Mahide, and said coldly, "We have called the police, and the police will be here soon. What else do you want?"
Using lynching, do you really think you are a witch-hunting general living in the Middle Ages?"
"Mr. Shinhide, you have to think carefully. Murder is a very serious crime..." Oyamaya looked at Isesaki Shinhide solemnly and said.
Isesaki Mahide felt a little guilty, but when he saw that there were all foreigners there, he didn’t want to be so cowardly. He shouted calmly, "Police? If the police can investigate this incident quickly, I won't do it myself."
Come and catch this witch!"
"enough!"
Isao Sakuragi walked through the crowd and stared at Isesaki Mahide angrily, but his eyes were not as cold as before, but just and sincere, "The truth is not obtained through torture or bloodshed. If you do this, will your soul be at peace?"
?"
When Isesaki Mahide saw that all the aborigines of Egamihara came out to speak, while the others were silent, their attitude softened, "I..."
"No one can gain stability and happiness through harm. Only those who are willing to sacrifice themselves in times of crisis can gain true peace," Sakuragi said solemnly, his expression softened, and he looked at the silence.
The crowd of people, then continued earnestly, "Although I have not been working in the church in this city for half a year, I have always heard that Ms. Elizabeth devoted her knowledge of herbal medicine without reservation in order to help the people of Jiangshenyuan.
My student, Ms. Tsurumi, is also working hard for everyone, am I wrong?"
Many people in the crowd had relaxed expressions, and some were sighing softly.
Chi Feichi walked through the crowd and arrived next to Yuesui Nanatsuki and others.
The priest is worthy of being a priest, and his face does not turn red when he speaks these words.
He remained silent and watched Sakuragi perform.
"I think there are not just one or two people here who have been helped by Miss Tsurumi, right?" Isao Sakuragi slowed down his tone again, looking distressed, "Is it possible that everyone, like Mr. Shinhide, thinks she will be a murderer?
The murderer of two people?"
"You're right," a boy said, "Tsurumi-sama can't be a witch!"
In the crowd, other adults also spoke out one after another.
"Yes, Miss Tsurumi is so kind, how could she kill someone?"
"You also said that you want to burn Ms. Tsurumi to death. That's such nonsense..."
Sakuragi Isao also looked at Isesaki Mahide and said, "Mr. Mahide, two of the people named in Ms. Elizabeth's will were killed. As a person whose name is on the will, I can understand how you feel uneasy now, but just because of one
Isn’t it too arbitrary to say Miss Tsurumi is the murderer just because of an elder tree?”
When Isesaki Mahide saw everyone standing opposite, his face turned pale, but he still glared at Tsurumi Yoko, "Humph, for the sake of the priest, I will do this for today, but if I catch
If I find any substantial evidence, I will definitely send this witch to the gallows!"
After Isesaki Mahide drove away in his black sports car, the crowd apologized, appeased Tsurumi Yoko, and then left one after another.
The three children directly regarded Isao Sakuragi as a great hero.
"Father Sakuragi, you are really amazing!"
"Fortunately, you stopped him," Dr. Ali also breathed a sigh of relief, "Sophia's tragedy almost happened."
Conan couldn't help but smile with emotion when he thought of what Isao Sakuragi said before.
The priest is worthy of being a priest, and his ideological consciousness is very high.
"The tragedy of that year would never have happened," Mao Lilan clenched his fists and said firmly, "Even without Brother Fei Chi and Sister Nanatsuki, if he dares to act recklessly, I won't let him go easily."
"If that guy dares to mess around, it doesn't seem to be a bad thing for us," Yuantai said bluntly, "Brother Chi and Mr. Dashan don't like that guy to begin with, so they can give him a reasonable beating."
Chi Feichi looked at the elder tree lying deep in the yard and felt that what Yuantai said this time made sense.
"Okay," Dr. Ali sweated and smiled dryly, correcting Gentai's perspective, "Someone will definitely be injured in the fight, how can that be considered a good thing? Mr. Zhenxiu has nothing to say, and everyone truly believes it.
Miss Tsurumi, this is the best!"
Isao Sakuragi smiled, turned to Tsurumi Yezi and said, "Mr. Shinhide might come to cause trouble. Miss Tsurumi, why don't you go to the church to rest for the night."
Mao Lilan and Koshimizu Nanatsuki discussed it and decided to accompany Tsurumi Yoko to the church to rest for a night.
Before leaving, Yuesui Nanatsuki, Conan, and Chi Feichi quietly exchanged clues outside the door.
"That is to say, Mr. Toda, Mr. Motomachi who were killed, and Mr. Isesaki who was hospitalized are probably related to the fire at Sophia's house, and this incident may be revenge for Sophia, right?
"Koshimizu Nanatsuki said thoughtfully, "Miss Tsurumi looks so similar to Sophia, but we tested her and saw that she didn't react like a murderer. I also raised the issue of her appearance, and she said that it was because she looked too much.
Like Sophia, she also had doubts about her life experience, but she didn’t know who her parents were. Elizabeth said it was because they were destined, and she just happened to look a lot like Sophia..."
Wuming nestled in Chi Feichi's arms and found that Chi Feichi was looking in the direction of the elder tree in the yard again. He put his head next to Chi Feichi's ear and meowed in a low voice, "Master, really leave the matter to Yingmu Gong, no need."
Shall I teach that guy Masahide Isesaki a lesson?"
"No need..." Chi Feichi replied in a low voice, and handed Wuming to Yuesui Nanatsuki. Seeing Yuesui Nanatsuki's confused look, he said deceitfully, "You take Wuming with you. Something like this happened today.
With your pet here, you will feel better faster."
"Thank you," Koshizu Nanatsuki reached out to take Wuming, and found that Wuming was lying in his arms obediently without struggling. He smiled and rolled his eyes instantly, "Wuming is so good, you don't want to leave it to us to take care of it so that you can investigate it for yourself.
Bar?"
"Is it a detective's instinct to doubt everything?" Chi Feichi asked.
"Sorry, sorry," Koshizui Nanatsuki smiled guiltily, then suddenly remembered something, took out a letter from his coat pocket and handed it to Chi Feichi, "By the way, this is
I have read what Ms. Tsurumi received this morning. It contains similar content to the previous threatening letters. Please hand them over to Officer Megure and Mr. Mori. I will pay more attention to Ms. Tsurumi's situation. Do you have any clues?
You should also tell me in time."
The police and Kogoro Mori arrived late. They didn't even need to clean up the scene. They only came to provide transportation and took Dr. Agasa, Chi Feichi and others back to the hotel.
Just as a group of people returned to the hotel to have lunch, Megure received another call - Isesaki Mahide was dead.
It was past noon, and the thick fog shrouding Jiangshenyuan had not yet dissipated.
In the white mist, Isesaki Mahide was burned to death in a phone booth in the park, while the black sports car was still parked nearby.
After the police went to investigate, they found that the phone booth in the park could not be opened from the outside when someone was inside. After Isesaki entered, it was impossible for anyone to open the door and attack Isesaki. In the open-air park, the phone booth also became a secret room.
After investigation, it was found that the cause of the fire was domestic gas. However, when staff from the gas company were called, they said that there was no gas supply nearby.
Miura Joji also arrived in despair and told him that Isesaki Mahide called him that morning to tell him that he had also received a threatening letter.
Furthermore, Conan noticed that there was no elderberry smell at the scene, but Megure Thirteen and Mori Kogoro guessed that it was because the smell dissipated too quickly in the open air, so they didn't take it to heart.
Soon, the police received another news - Isesaki Riki was dead.
Isesaki Riki died in the hospital, and the miserable photos of Isesaki Mahide's death were scattered on the floor of the ward. The cause of death was a heart attack.
As a result, the only people left in Elizabeth's will are Tsurumi Yoko, Miura Joji, who also received threatening letters, and Isao Sakuragi, who is currently unknown as to whether he has received threatening letters.
After Chi Feichi saw the scene at the phone booth, he said goodbye to Kogoro Mori on the grounds of "going back to rest" and returned to the hotel first.
After Conan listened to Megure Jusan and Mori Kogoro discussing for a long time "whether Tsurumi Yoko is the murderer", he realized that it was useless to stay any longer, and quickly proposed to go back to the hotel first, but before going back, he went to the library to get a drink.
After bringing a copy of the newspaper about the Sophia incident back to the hotel, because I didn’t want to be pestered by the children asking questions, I asked the hotel manager to help find a room.
The hotel manager heard from Conan that he was helping Mouri Kogoro investigate the case, and immediately took Conan to the library in the hotel. Seeing that Conan was surprised by the number of books in the library, he couldn't help but smile and said, "Would you like to help you prepare afternoon tea?"
Little detective."
Conan had just put the copy of the newspaper on the table. Hearing this, he hurriedly replied, "Ah, no need..."
"If it's convenient, I'd like a cup of English black tea," Haiyuan Ai opened the door and walked into the room. He looked up and said to the hotel manager calmly, "Any snacks are fine. If you find it troublesome, it doesn't matter if you don't have them."
"
"Uh, no trouble," said the manager, "then you can sit down and I'll get someone to prepare it."
Conan looked at Haihara Ai dumbfounded, "Hey, why are you..."
"When you came back, Yuantai happened to buy a drink in front of the vending machine on the first floor. He hugged you with a bunch of things and followed the manager upstairs furtively." Haiyuan Ai pulled up a chair and sat down.
When he got to the table, he turned to the administrator and said, "I'm sorry for causing you any trouble."
The administrator looked at Haiyuan Ai's always cold and calm expression, and didn't feel much 'sorry'. He smiled dryly and said, "It doesn't matter, no one will come here anyway. Only Mr. Chi has been here recently. Someone
This library is meaningful only if we can come here."
Conan looked around at the bookshelves and found that they were all old books on the history of Jiang Shenyuan. He asked curiously, "Has Brother Chi been here recently?"
