On the other side of the room, Mouri Kogoro and a group of people were drinking tea.
Yagura Morio said about the monster legend, "I only heard that this happened in the Edo period. It is said that this pond would continuously emerge with cold and clean spring water, so the area was much larger than it is now. Later, a pond appeared beside the pond.
A clear and beautiful girl, when she played the flute, the color of the pool water would change accordingly. People who came here felt like they were in a fairyland. Not long after, a wealthy businessman moved into the town..."
"The businessman fell in love with the girl's beauty, so he built a luxurious mansion beside the pool and proposed to her. The girl agreed to marry the businessman on the condition that the pool would only belong to her from now on and no one would be allowed to approach it.
"
"Unexpectedly, the businessman broke this promise and soon built a dormitory in the middle of the pond. Not only that, the girl begged in every possible way to have the dormitory demolished, but the merchant became impatient, killed the girl, and finally threw her into the pond.
inside."
"Then one night, a giant python suddenly appeared in the pond. After emerging from the water, it attacked the businessman. This giant python was the incarnation of the girl. In fact, she was originally a monster living in the pond..."
Chi Feichi was editing an email to Gin and listening distractedly.
It's a very boring legend. If it were thrown into a well, it would probably be another story called Sadako...
"Huh?" Feichi couldn't help but poke his head from Chi Feichi's collar, "Then is she a monster or a snake?"
It turns out that Fei Chi was also eavesdropping...
Chi Feichi originally thought that Feichi was sleeping in his bed, but seeing that Feichi wanted to listen, he simply took it out and put it at hand, lowered his head and continued editing the email.
Yagura Morio continued, "The businessman was seriously injured. He risked his life and finally escaped back to his dormitory in the pond. He also posted a charm to ward off demons in the house, and the giant python did not come in to hurt him again.
However, he stayed outside the house day and night, waiting for the opportunity for the businessman to leave the dormitory. Finally, the merchant, exhausted both physically and mentally, hanged himself in the dormitory and ended his life. Now the color of the water in the pool will change.
It is said that it is because that monster still appears occasionally, transforming into a girl and playing the flute by the pool."
"Is it still there?" Feichi immediately stood up and turned to stare in the direction of the pond, "It's a giant python and a monster. Master, I want to see it..."
"Go." Chi Feichi whispered.
"Ah!" Miss Mimura turned her head inadvertently and saw Feichi next to Chi Feichi. She screamed in fright, backed away and sat on the ground, "Snake...snake..."
On the side, Yagura Morio's expression also changed.
"Ah, I'm sorry," Mao Lilan quickly explained, "This is Brother Fei Chi's pet. It is very obedient and will not bite. I'm sorry, I forgot to tell you before."
"Yes, really..." Yagura Morio's face turned a little pale.
Chi Feichi turned to look at Feichi. Didn't he say that he wanted to take a look? Why didn't he move?
"Um..." Fei Chi struggled, "Master, can you defeat the monster? I'm worried that you've lured her here. How about we go get a gun and come back? Or find two charms?"
"There's no such thing as a monster."
Chi Feichi sent the edited email and put down his phone. He seemed to be talking to other people, but in fact he was explaining to Xie Feichi, "The story is very unreasonable. How did the seriously injured businessman escape to the dormitory to stop the bleeding? Is there a first aid kit in the dormitory?"
There is no explanation of whether there are anti-inflammatory and sterilizing medicines or whether the monsters are poisonous."
Yagura Morio sweated and said with a dry smile, "Mr. Chi's focus is really special."
"He is a doctor..." Mouri Kogoro explained with a black line.
"In addition, how do monsters attack businessmen?" Chi Feichi said calmly, "Except for a few types of pythons, most pythons have no teeth. Even if they have teeth, they do not have the ability to bite. Pythons usually wrap around their prey and devour it after death.
, the monster turned into a python, and the businessman would either be swallowed whole and die, or he would not be injured, at least not seriously."
Mouri Kogoro added: "Veterinarian."
Yagura Morio: "..."
I can see it...
"That's a monster," Miss Mimura couldn't help but say, "Maybe she has teeth and can bite. Not only may she have teeth, but she may also have other terrifying abilities."
"One more question, why did she transform into a python instead of directly transforming into a beast or a ghost? Wouldn't that be easier to attack?" Chi Feichi said, "There are two possibilities. First, her body is a python, and second, she only has
Only those who transform into a python have the ability to attack others. These two may not conflict and can exist at the same time. Since the monster is a python in its form, it is very likely that it will retain the python's habit of treating its prey. In any case, the attack in this story
The method is unreasonable.”
Mouri Kogoro continued to introduce: "You also know that he is still a disciple of my famous detective..."
Yagura Morio: "..."
Miss Mimura: "..."
"Actually, based on this analysis, monsters are not impossible to deal with," Chi Feichi said, no matter what others thought, he originally explained it to Feichi, not for others, "First of all, she should not have attack power after transforming into a human form.
Otherwise, the merchant would have fought back when he tried to hurt her. There is also a possibility that she will lose her strength after leaving the pool, including standing in a wooden house on the pool. Then, you can find a way to trick her into transforming into a human form.
When we got to the shore or in the dormitory, the reason could be to talk about compensation, and then I would put a charm on her head, put some firewood on her head, and burn her to death."
other people:"……"
That makes sense...
But isn’t this too cruel? You will be scared of monsters when they encounter them, right?
"Secondly, she may be a python."
Chi Feichi continued, "Snakes don't like substances that emit pungent odors. They can be restrained or driven away with realgar, herbs, alcohol, sulfur, etc. When a businessman is seriously injured, he does not die from wound infection or blood loss.
If there is more, then there should be something like strong alcohol in his dormitory. Even if there is not, you can try to use medicine. Even if the medicine in his hand does not have a pungent smell, snakes are still afraid of smoke and fire, so you can try to start a fire to drive them away.
By the way, consider that the merchant has no fire... No, since the dormitory built in the middle of the pond is not a storage room, then for daily life, candles, ignition equipment, and maybe basins and bedding should be prepared.
class of things.
The whole plan can be as follows. First, find an utensil such as a basin, put a small amount of clothes or bedding in it, light a fire to create smoke, observe whether the monster is uncomfortable or tries to stay away, and then try to burn some of the medicine. Generally, medicine will be emitted when burned.
Emit strange smells and fire smoke, and continue to observe the monster's reaction. In this way, you can basically determine whether it is really afraid of such things. After that, you can try holding a pot of burning things and expose yourself to the fire smoke.
He rushed out of the dormitory in one breath."
"Won't the basin be hot to touch?" Miss Mimura asked curiously.
Chi Feichi was speechless for a moment. He was talking about the overall action plan, but he actually asked him if the basin was hot or not?
"The things in the dormitory are not decorations. The rope used for hanging can completely isolate the hot edge of the brazier, or make a simple lifting net." Chi Fei paused for a moment, "Don't ask if there is enough burning material. When trying
Just do the calculations, and if you don’t have enough, use other methods.”
"We also need to consider whether the monsters will use water to extinguish the brazier..." Conan was also brought into the idea of 'fighting monsters', stroking his chin and analyzing, "But don't worry too much, there should be lamp oil in the dormitory, which can be used to burn things.
You can also use your body to block the water by pouring lamp oil on it. In addition, as long as the fire is not extinguished, some burning objects, such as wood blocks, can maintain a little humidity and release more smoke when burning. Self-rescue is the first priority. After running out of the pond
, you can let people come to catch monsters, since there are spells to restrain monsters, there should be people who can subdue monsters."
"You can also cut off the water source," Chi Feichi also said. "Looking at it this way, the monster's power may come from the pool water. In fact, from the story, 'the pool water is clear' and 'the girl is clear', and 'she doesn't want others to approach.
Judging from the description of the pond, whether the water is pure and clear probably also affects her strength. Methods such as filling the pond and polluting the water source can be used. For example, having a large amount of wine transported and poured into the pond can also avoid causing excessive pollution.
There is so much pollution, but we can try to force it out and scare away the monsters. Otherwise, why would the wealth be used to build a mansion by the pool?"
Conan nodded and reminded, "Brother Chi, your idea is wrong. The wealth of the family is not used for revenge."
"When dealing with a monster, if you don't kill her, she will kill you. This is self-protection, not revenge," Chi Feichi corrected, "If you want revenge, you should capture her alive."
Python spirit, catch it and use it to make wine, use it as a mount, use it as a labor force...
For example, promote a monster pulling a cart, set standards for how much it will cost to try it out, and how much it will cost to have a close encounter with the monster. You can make a fortune from it and recover the losses incurred by catching the monster!
Others were dumbfounded.
Originally, this story was supposed to teach people to keep their promises and not to break them and kill people, otherwise they will be retaliated by monsters.
But if the businessman you meet is like Chi Feichi, then the story is probably that the businessman not only broke the agreement, killed the girl, forced out the monster, but also used his wisdom to escape, and then killed the monster...
Why do I suddenly feel so pitiful about monsters...
Fortunately, others didn't know Chi Feichi's subsequent thoughts, otherwise they would have felt that the monster's life was too miserable and the world was not worth it.
"It's too courageous for a businessman to commit suicide like that," Conan lamented. "At least try to save yourself."
"Well," Chi Feichi nodded, "This businessman was not forced to death by monsters, but because he was stupid."
other people:"……"
This map cannon is a bit excessive. Can others have such calmness and analysis?
The corner of Mouri Kogoro's mouth twitched slightly, and then he nodded seriously, pretending that he could also think of it, and said with emotion, "Fei Chi, your progress is amazing, I think it won't be long before you can surpass me."
Conan thought in his heart, he has already surpassed it, okay...
"Thank you, teacher," Chi Feichi said without changing his expression, "I still have a lot to learn."
Yagura Morio and others looked at Mouri Kogoro in awe, with a hint of heat in their eyes.
Mouri Kogoro smiled happily, "No, I'm not kidding. You are indeed very talented and humble enough. Your future achievements will definitely be higher than mine!"
