"But that sticker of karma..." Mao Lilan still couldn't hide the worry between her eyebrows.
"What karma?"
On the other side of the phone, Chi Feichi heard something.
"Ah, it's nothing," Mao Lilan came back to her senses. She heard faint laughter on the other side of the phone and asked directly, "Brother Fei Chi, where are you now? Are you still at the station?"
"I was just about to get on the train, what can I do?"
"It's okay, then you can go back first and contact us after we get back..."
Mao Lilan hung up the phone and looked relieved.
"Is Brother Chi already planning to take the train back?" Conan asked.
Mao Lilan smiled and nodded, "Well, it seems I've thought too much..."
Conan felt relieved and his eyes became serious. He had to solve this case, otherwise Xiaolan would definitely be left with a knot in her heart.
…
On the top of a mountain not far away, a figure was sitting on the branches of a majestic tree, hidden among the leaves, reaching out and pressing the switch of the recording pen.
The crowd's laughter suddenly stopped.
"recording?"
Koizumi Hongzi walked under the tree, looked up at the branches more than two meters above the ground, decisively chose to ride up on a broom, and stood next to Chi Feichi, "You are really well prepared."
"A must to tell lies." Chi Feichi cleared the recording and put the recorder into his pocket.
It was impossible for him to really go back, at least until Mouri Kogoro and the others left and 'arranged' Aoyagi Tetsuya.
Since you are lying, you need to prepare recordings at the station and on the train to cover up the lie. Regardless of whether you can use it or not, it is always good to be prepared.
Isn’t this useful?
Koizumi Hongzi sat aside, looking at the mountains in the distance, and said thoughtfully, "Do you think the energy of my ancestors still remains in this place?"
Chi Feichi leisurely leaned against the tree trunk, "No."
"Why are you sure?" Koizumi Hongzi asked.
"This is what happened to the Demon of Light, and it needs to be explained scientifically," Chi Feichi said.
"Then why can Domoto Eizo disappear into the closed cable car and reach the goddess statue above within 30 seconds?" Koizumi Anko pondered, "I can probably do it by flying up on a broom, or prepare it in advance.
Magic circle."
"Ropes, piano wires, dummies, mirrors, projections... there are many tricks in magic. I'm not there, so I can't judge." Chi Feichi closed his eyes to rest his mind, "The Demon of Light will solve it."
"Really?" Koizumi Anko took out a crystal ball from nowhere, held it and sat aside, remotely monitoring the movements of Conan and others. After watching for a while, she said, "They are going down the mountain."
no respond.
Koizumi Hongzi turned around and discovered that Chi Feichi was leaning against the tree trunk with his eyes closed, wondering if he had fallen asleep.
Fei Chi stood motionless on the side.
Feimo also squatted on a branch nearby, dozing off with his eyes closed.
The breeze blows slowly, the air is fresh, the leaves block the sun, there is no hustle and bustle of the city, only the chirping of birds comes from time to time in the distance.
Koizumi Anko was silent for a while, holding the crystal ball, found a comfortable place to lean on, and planned to squint for a while.
This is indeed a good place for a nap...
…
An hour later, at Conan's suggestion, the group got on the cable car again.
Conan boarded the cable car with firm eyes.
He has solved this mysterious mystery!
The cable car set off, and Mouri Kogoro was brought down by an anesthesia needle.
On the mountain, from the crystal ball, Henggou Shanwu exclaimed, "Mr. Mori, could it be said... is that going to start again?"
Chi Fei didn't open his eyes for a long time, but just reminded him loudly, "Hongzi, the reasoning has begun."
"Huh?" Koizumi Hongzi opened her eyes in a daze, hugged the crystal ball, yawned, and continued to lean on the tree trunk to watch the show.
On the mountain, the two people watching the theater were as lazy as salted fish.
In the cable car, Conan was in full swing with his reasoning.
Of course it's not a curse.
These were originally the plans of President Eizo Domoto——
When the cable car passed through the tunnel, he turned off the lights and pretended to be attacked, but actually hid in the empty space under the seat.
After the cable car passed through the tunnel, the 'him' on the hand of the goddess statue was the dummy he asked someone to make.
When others were so frightened that they got off the cable car and ran over, Domoto Eizo would take the empty cable car on the return trip, go from the tunnel to the statue of the goddess in advance, throw the dummy on the statue of the goddess off the cliff, and stand there
There he greeted everyone and said no such thing as a curse.
The person who helped place the dummy was Vice President Domoto Yasunori.
"I think the time for you to place the dummy should be this morning," Conan said in the voice of Kogoro Mori. "Originally, you left early yesterday afternoon just to place the dummy, right? Why did you change your mind?
"
If Domoto Yasunori had placed the dummy in the hands of the goddess last night, Chi Feichi would have discovered it long ago. It was really...
I don't know whether Chi Feichi was lucky or unlucky because he almost got another important clue to the case.
"Actually, I should have put the dummy up yesterday," Domoto Yasunori smiled uncomfortably, "But it's funny, yesterday I always felt that something was staring at me on the goddess statue, but I couldn't see it.
The closer I got, the more it became like this, so I hurried back and put the dummy up today."
Koizumi Anko, holding a crystal ball and eating melon: "..."
Why are you still involved with her?
Yesterday she was a little unhappy. It would be okay to build an observation tower and develop it into a scenic spot, but it would be a bit excessive to drill a hole in the stone statue of her ancestors and let the cable car carry people through, and then put the Five Hundred Arhat statues in it.
As Conan listened to Domoto Yasunori's explanation, he suddenly remembered that Chi Feichi had been staring at the statue of the goddess yesterday.
Chi Feichi has always been keen. Could he have sensed something? Is there a camera placed by someone on the statue of the goddess?
"I think you have a guilty conscience." Tetsuya Aoyagi couldn't help but sneered.
On the mountain, Chi Feichi opened his eyes and turned to look at Tetsuya Aoyagi reflected in the crystal ball.
Yellow hair that stands up, two rows of earrings, sunglasses...this guy's exaggerated outfit rivals Odagiri Toshiya's before.
In the cable car, Tetsuya Aoyagi felt as if he was enveloped in a cold atmosphere, but he didn't pay attention to it immediately.
It's an illusion...
"Don't let out murderous intent," Koizumi Hongzi reminded Chi Feichi, "or remind me first and I will block it, otherwise you will be discovered."
"I didn't show murderous intent." Chi Feichi calmly declared.
Koizumi Hongzi glanced at Chi Feichi and continued to look at the crystal ball, "The same goes for cold air."
Chi Feichi: "..."
Conan's reasoning continues.
The murderer knew Domoto Eizo's plan, took the cable car over before others arrived, killed Domoto Eizo who was waiting there, ran down, and then came back to join everyone.
The only person who did not follow the main force along the way and might know Domoto Eizo's plan was secretary Yoshino Ayaka.
As for the evidence, it is Yoshino Ayaka’s brooch.
Yoshino Ayaka disposed of the dummy by throwing it into the incinerator under the observation tower. While disposing of it, a pearl from the brooch fell onto the dummy's hand.
As a result, the dummy was not completely burned, and the pearl remained on the unburned prosthetic hand, which was found by Conan.
Seeing that there was evidence, Yoshino Ayaka did not refute anymore and told her the reason for the murder.
Her parents divorced early, and she followed her father to Tokyo, while her mother took her brother to Tianbu Mountain.
When the tunnel was being built, a collapse accident occurred, and the man who died was her brother. Later, Eizou Domoto was worried about the negative impact on the scenic spot, so he used money to prevent her mother and related people from telling the story.
It was not until last year, when her mother was seriously ill that she went to the hospital to visit her, that she told her about the incident in tears and kept telling her that she would not forgive the Domoto family.
"That's why I abandoned my past and went to work for Domoto Tourism Company, in order to take revenge on Eizo Domoto, who killed my brother and even made my mother miserable..."
In the crystal ball, Yoshino Ayaka's sad and tenacious voice came.
The people around him were silent during the projection, with expressions of emotion on their faces.
"This family is sick." Chi Feichi couldn't help but say.
"Hmm? The Domoto family?" Koizumi Anko was confused.
"Yoshino Ayaka's house," Chi Feichi explained, "To put it simply, after a construction site accident, the boss said to the family of the deceased, we are private and we will give you money, but don't tell anyone, and then
, the family agreed, took the money, and kept it a secret for several years. Before her death, the mother said that she hated her so much and could not forgive her family, so her daughter ran to kill the boss. Don’t you think something is wrong after I said this?
"
Koizumi Hongzi: "Well..."
When I think about it, it’s really...
"Since Yoshino Ayaka's mother was unwilling to forgive, why did she accept the money from the Domoto family? After accepting the money from the Domoto family and not telling anyone, why did she instigate her daughter to take revenge before she died?" Chi Feichi said without mercy.
, "Yoshino Ayaka is also sick. She is such an old person, but she still doesn't have any judgment? I wonder what her mother's behavior is? Even if she takes the money and regrets it, and comes back to take revenge on others, this is her choice, and others can't control it, then
Just don’t talk about your dead brother.”
Wouldn't it make people feel more comfortable to directly admit that "I am a bad person"?
Also, what are the expressions of Conan and the others?
If Yoshino Ayaka's family didn't take any money from others and were so oppressed by the powerful that they didn't dare to speak out, then this revenge can still be sympathized with, but what's going on now, can you sympathize with her?
His three views are about to collapse...
Koizumi Anko was silent again for a moment, then red light and blue arcs of electricity appeared around her, with a gloomy face, "That girl also said that Yoshino Ayaka is very similar to the goddess statue, right?"
As soon as Chi Feichi raised his eyes to look at Koizumi Hongzi, he saw a barrel-thick arc of electricity rising from Xiaoquan Hongzi to the sky and then falling on the goddess statue in the mountains in the distance.
"boom--!"
Suddenly, a bolt of lightning struck the statue of the Goddess. The huge stone statue of the Goddess began to shatter, and countless rubbles flew in all directions.
"What does it look like? It doesn't look like it at all! I will not break the contract if I promise, and I will admit it if I do it, and I will never use others as a shield!" Koizumi Anko was shrouded in red light, her face was ugly,
After being silent for a while, he turned to look at Chi Feichi with a puzzled look on his face, "How should I say this? Seeking advantage and forgetting one's righteousness? No, breaking one's word... It doesn't seem serious enough..."
Chi Feichi silently warned, "Going back on your word is double-dealing."
"Yes!" Koizumi Hongzi's face returned to the expression of "I'm so angry." She turned to look at the stone statue, drew a few words in the air, and stretched out her palm to slap it.
"Are you sure you want to play this in front of the Demon of Light?" Chi Feichi asked calmly.
Koizumi Hongzi calmed down a little. If she and Chi Feichi belong to different systems, but it is not too conflicting, then the conflict between magic and the 'scientific' concept advocated by the Demon of Light is great.
It's not that I can't afford to fight that brat, it's much easier than fighting Chi Feichi, but it's just not worth losing both sides...
