Chapter 371 The torch is extinguished three times

"She has really eaten mermaid meat, and she really has magical powers," Hisumi Ebihara touched her chin and said, "You should also know that the body of the mermaid found three years ago..."

Conan and Hattori Heiji were surprised.

"Human, the body of a mermaid?!"

Mao Lilan recalled, "Are you talking about what was reported three years ago..."

"In that case, there seems to have been a similar report three years ago," Mouri Kogoro recalled, stroking his chin. "It seems that a strange charred corpse was found in a warehouse..."

"Actually, that's just an exaggeration from the TV show." Shimabukuro Kimie said quickly.

"You're telling lies with your eyes open, didn't you also see it?" Ebihara Hisumi's expression became a little sinister, "The broken bones of the mermaid, that weird..."

"Sumei, stop talking!" A man put his hand on Sumi Eirahara's shoulder and stopped her.

Ebihara Hisumi turned around in surprise, "Rokuro?"

"It's not convenient to say those words in front of outsiders," Fukuyama Rokuro said, then looked at Chi Feichi's group and turned to leave, "I heard that you are detectives from Tokyo. If you want to find Saori,

Don’t waste time here, let’s go to Saori’s house to understand the situation! However, the prerequisite is that her alcoholic father welcomes you there..."

Hisumi Ebihara also followed.

"It's really strange," Hattori Heiji half-moon watched the two people leave, "It's obvious that someone has disappeared, but no one is worried about her safety..."

Chi Feichi retracted his gaze from looking at the shrine, "Because Miss Kadowaki Saori and her father often quarreled, and it is not the first time that she ran away from home when they had a quarrel."

"Huh?" Shimabukuro Kimie was originally going to explain, but Chi Feichi beat him to it.

Hattori Heiji and others also silently turned their attention to Chi Feichi.

"Before I came here, I inquired about the location of her home and visited her home," Chi Feichi explained. "Her father was at home and drank a lot. He said that she hadn't been back since four or five days ago. I don't know.

Where did she go? From the change in his facial expression, it didn’t look like he was lying. Then I asked the neighbors around. Kadowaki Saori’s father, Mr. Kadowaki Benzo, was an alcoholic. The relationship between father and daughter was not good. They often quarreled.

Miss Kadowaki Saori would run away from home every time she had a quarrel, so others didn’t pay much attention to when Miss Kadowaki Saori disappeared.”

Hattori Heiji smiled dryly and scratched his head, "So you have already investigated before coming here..."

"That's true. I also think Saori might have had a quarrel with her father and went somewhere to relax," Shimabukuro Kime said, then smiled at Chi Feichi, "But I really didn't expect him.

You will be welcome to come over, sometimes even if friends like us go to see Saori, he will seem very impatient."

"I claim to be a friend of Miss Kadowaki's in Tokyo, and I bought a bottle of wine to take with me," Chi Feichi said. "For drunkards, just give me wine."

Mouri Kogoro suddenly remembered that the first time Chi Feichi went to his house for dinner, he brought wine. He always felt that his apprentice was making fun of him. The corner of his mouth twitched slightly, but he couldn't help but ask, "What kind of wine did you buy?"

Let that kind of person welcome you?"

"Maotai," Chi Feichi said, "it seems that the only Chinese wine on the island is this kind of wine, which is quite fragrant."

"That's one of the three famous distilled spirits, along with Scotch whiskey and French Cognac." Kogoro Mori looked distressed, "The price is ridiculously high. I haven't even tasted it, so you just gave it away like this?"

"

Chi Feichi said without changing his expression, "I have another bottle in my bag, specially reserved for you."

Mouri Kogoro was stunned, then scratched his head and laughed, "Oh, you even left a bottle for me. How can you be so embarrassed? It really cost you money..."

Mao Lilan was speechless and held her forehead, feeling tired. She had an alcoholic father and really wanted to run away from home every minute.

Hattori Heiji gave Mouri Kogoro a half-moon glance, and then continued to ask Chi Feichi about the business, "Then what? What else did you and Ms. Saori's alcoholic father talk about?"

"No talk, I didn't go in, I just took a look inside the room," Chi Feichi explained. "There were at least ten wine bottles piled up in the corner of the living room. They were very scattered. There were cigarette butts and ashes scattered irregularly on the floor and under the sofa.

There are also wine bottles and cigarette butts, and there are wine stains on the table that have been at least three days old. The curtains are drawn, and the lower corners of the curtains are blackened. In addition, judging from the condition of the table legs and under the table, it can be seen that they have not been cleaned for a long time.

, Miss Kadowaki usually stays in her room at home. She doesn’t spend much time outside her room and leaves very few traces. If you want to investigate, you have to enter her room, but a young man suddenly came to her room.

At home, when a young girl is not at home, saying to her father, 'Can I go to your daughter's room to take a look?

Others may not believe his whereabouts."

Shimabukuro Kimie looked at the man in front of her calmly and methodically analyzing. The detective from Tokyo seems to be really powerful. Will her criminal plan be revealed...

Hattori Heiji sweated, "That's right. It's better for everyone to go there together. Especially if there are girls present, it will be more convenient."

"Or sneak in to investigate when her father is not at home." Chi Feichi added.

Hattori Heiji:"……"

Conan: "..."

Do you know this is a criminal act?

Even if you think so in your heart, it’s not impossible to consider it if necessary, but... well, don’t say it in front of so many people.

Mao Lilan smiled sheepishly, turned to look at Shimabukuro June, and found that Shimabukuro June was distracted looking at Chi Feichi, "Huh?"

Shimabukuro Kime came back to his senses and said with a smile, "After the festival is over, I will take you to Saori's house to see it. Although it is a festival, it is actually just a lottery. If the number plate purchased by the guest in advance will be the same as the ancestor's,

If the numbers grandma burns on the door are the same, you can get the Dugong Arrow."

As he said that, he took out two wooden plaques with numbers written on them and smiled at Mao Lilan, Yuanshan and Ye Dao, "Do you want to give it a try? An old couple happened to cancel temporarily this morning, so now there are two more numbers.

Cards, the words of divination cannot be trusted, but maybe, as others say, you can achieve eternal youth and beauty~!"

"Ah? Thank you."

Toyama and Ye took the number plate.

"Thank you..." Mao Lilan took the number plate and suddenly turned to ask Chi Feichi, "Brother Feichi, do you want to try it? If so, I can give you my number plate."

Um?

Conan perked up and stared at the two people suspiciously.

Why didn't so many people ask Xiaolan, but why did they ask Chi Feichi?

To say that young people are most needed, uncle is more needed than Chi Feichi, right?

Very strange, so strange.

"I don't need it." Chi Feichi turned around and walked towards the door of the shrine first, saying in a cold tone, "Those who dream of gaining the power of gods will eventually turn into demons."

"Uh..." Yuan Shanheye and Mao Lilan looked at each other.

Mao Lilan laughed dryly and said to Shimabukuro, who was a little confused, "Brother Chi is like this..."

Conan's half-moon eyes, okay, he understands why Xiaolan asked Chi Feichi if he wanted a number plate before.

I don’t understand why women get so excited when there is gossip and try to pull red strings...

"Yeah, then I'll be busy getting ready, everyone, please..." Shimabukuro Kime smiled, watched a group of people leave the shrine, and then lowered his head with a wry smile.



At night, red flames danced on the torches outside the wooden houses in the village.

Three villagers were beating neat, rapid drumbeats, and other villagers and tourists were also chatting and laughing in low voices, gathering in front of the wooden house from all directions.

Before going there, Chi Feichi went back to the hotel to send his laptop back for charging. However, with Mao Lilan and others helping to occupy seats, he was still able to stand at the front and watch the fun.

The short old woman with her back to everyone picked up the long pole on the wooden frame, turned around and walked out the door.

"It's Changshou Po."

"Grandma Changshou is out..."

There were villagers whispering around.

"This is Changshou Po..." Conan looked at her speechlessly.

"You're really small..." Mouri Kogoro also complained in a low voice.

Hattori Heiji's half-moon eyes are just like an old woman wearing heavy makeup...

As soon as he turned his head, he noticed that Chi Feichi next to him was staring at the torch intently.

Tsk, Fei Chi’s eyes are so cold that they can extinguish a flame...

Chi Feichi stared at the flames in silence.

In front of a person whose life span is unknown, he was in a very subtle mood when he tried to play longevity tricks.

Even Fei Mo is at least 180 years old, okay...

When he said those words at the shrine before, it was purely because he felt something in his heart, otherwise he wouldn't have talked nonsense at all.

On the steps of the wooden house, the longevity woman reached out and put the long pole to the torch, preparing to light the fire.

The next second, the flame suddenly went out.

The noisy crowd fell silent and stared blankly at the long pole hovering over the extinguished torch.

The person in charge of the festival sweated: "..."

Such a big flame suddenly went out. What happened?

Hattori Heiji couldn't help but look at Chi Feichi.

Isn't it? He was just complaining about Chi Feichi's cold face all day long.

Uh, but someone put out the flame? How is that possible! His imagination is really rich recently...

Changshou Po was still calm and moved the long pole to the torch on the right.

Chi Feichi subconsciously turned his head to look at the torch on the right like everyone else.

Does longevity belong to him?

He didn't know, but there was always an uncontrollable arrogance from strange people in his heart...

The next second, the torch on the right also went out.

The onlookers looked at the long pole hovering on the extinguished torch in silence.

The person in charge of the activity couldn't sit still and whispered a few words to the villagers next to him.

The villagers went up and relit the torch respectfully.

Changshou Po did not move the long pole to the left, but waited for someone to light the torch, then silently moved the long pole towards the flame.

I was really infected by Hongzi...

Chi Feichi closed his eyes and looked at the torch again.

It was extremely arrogant, but neither he nor Koizumi Hongzi dared to say what his fate was, but someone dared to use the term "fate" as a respectful address to a god, which made him feel uncomfortable.

The next second, the moment the long pole came into contact with the flame, the torch went out again.

In front of the wooden house, people were already talking to each other and whispering, not understanding what was going on.

Activity person in charge: "..."

Can you still have a good time tonight?!

Changshou Po remained expressionless and moved the torch to the left.

Chi Feichi also looked over.

Don't turn it off...

If I turn it off again, I will have to consider leaving early in order not to ruin other people's festivals...

Normally, if you stare at a candle, you won't see it go out. Tonight, don't trigger any weird things with these three golden fingers.

This time, the ignition was successful.

Changshou Po also breathed a sigh of relief and continued to calmly light the paper on the door with the long burning pole.
