Chapter 861 The third sacrifice

 Three o'clock in the morning.

Chi Fei arrived outside Toshi Ichiro's residence late, more than ten minutes behind Fei Chi.

Toshi Ichiro lived in the police sub-station. Like the houses in the village, it had the same wooden structure with a pitched roof, and separate offices and accommodation.

After tracking and investigating so far, he can also restore the trajectory of Ichiro's activities last night——

After he and Conan fell into the cave, Toshi Ichiro ran deep into the jungle. After realizing that they had not followed, he went to the stone monument where the bouquet was enshrined.

The bouquets should have been picked and tied up during the day and placed in front of the stone monument. The reason why Ichiro Toshi went there may be that he wanted to talk to Machiko Konno after harming innocent people, or maybe he wanted to tell Machiko Konno that he was going to formally

The Wakura family took action.

After that, Toshi Ichiro arrived near the sacrificial tree known as the "Second Tribute", called Wakura Yoichi who was waiting there, knocked him unconscious in the jungle, and then placed Wakura Yoichi on the sacred tree and pressed the button

Opening and closing of the lower reservoir gate.

There were also the prints of Toshi Ichiro's straw sandals and the prints left by the edges of Kura Yoichi's leather shoes. Unfortunately, there were many footprints near the sacred tree and the sacrificial tree, and theirs and those of the villagers were all mixed together.

After that, Toshi Ichiro went to the forest to change into the clothes he had hidden before leaving the forest, and went to the road to join the villagers who rushed over after hearing about Wakura Yoichi's death.

He found Toshi Ichiro's 'Birdman' suit on a tree, which must have been replaced at that time.

Since it is certain that Yoichi Wakura was killed by Toshi Ichiro, then the same should be true for Yasumi Shiratou who died in the same way.

After Chi Feichi and Feichi met at Tushi Yicheng's residence, they turned back without staying any longer.

When they reached the road, Feichi, who was lying on Chi Feichi's shoulder, couldn't hold it in any longer and hinted, "Master, am I not slow to find him?"

Chi Feichi knew what answer Feichi wanted as soon as he heard it, and praised calmly, "It's amazing."

"No," Fei Chi's tail tip happily waggled, "because it didn't rain, the smell left by his shoes is still very obvious, but it seems that the local police officer is the murderer..."

"It's him."

All the way back to the large rock bathhouse, Chi Feichi observed it and made sure that no one had been there during this period. He placed Feichi among the rocks and went to the washing room to take a bath. He also rinsed his yukata and clogs with water.

, rinse off all the dust collected in the jungle, change into your previous clothes, and return to Wakura's house with your yukata.

It was close to four o'clock in the morning. The old maid of the Wakura family had a guest room next to the living room on the first floor. She heard a noise and went out to check.

"Master Chi?"

"Sorry for disturbing you, I accidentally fell asleep in the bathhouse."

"Ah, it's okay. You have to pay attention to your safety. The yukata..."

"Fell into the water."

"Then leave it to me. I'll get you another set of yukata. I'll wash this one tomorrow."

"sorry to bother you."

"You're welcome."

After dealing with the old maid, Chi Feichi went upstairs to his room to sleep.



At around ten o'clock in the morning, Chi Feichi was awakened by a high-pitched chirping sound.

The scream that echoed throughout the village sounded again, which also meant that the local master Issei had killed someone again.

By the time Chi Feizan went out and followed the direction of the noise, Fei Yingli, Conan and others, as well as most of the villagers, had already arrived in front of the sacrificial tree.

This time, the person who died this time was Kotomi Wakura, who was also impaled on the sharpened branches of the sacrificial tree.

The villagers were a little numb after seeing people die one after another. Only the Wakura family remained in grief.

Of Wakura Yonghai's four children, currently only two are left, Wakura Ryouji and Kura Misa.

Seeing that Chi Fei had come late, Fei Yingli's solemn expression softened a little, "Fei Chi, you're awake. Ayou said you fell asleep in the bathhouse last night. Don't take a bath if you're too sleepy. You may drown."

"Sorry for making you worry." Chi Feichi apologized.

Fei Yingli: "..."

There was no hint of 'sorry' on that calm face.

Dr. Agasa looked at the corpse on the tree and sighed, "We agreed not to act alone, but this morning Conan wanted to come to the Sacrificial Tree to have a look, so I brought the children over. Before coming, Miss Kotomi clearly

Stay at home well..."

"In the morning I went to Mr. Wakura to confirm some defense issues. Miss Misa accompanied me. When we came out, only Mr. Ryouji, Miss Qinghua and the maid were in the living room," Fei Yingli looked at

The corpse on the tree, "Miss Qinmei probably came out alone at that time and was killed by the murderer."

"It's the Big Bird God!" Po Po jumped out again.

"Same as Mr. Yoichi," Chi Feichi observed the corpse, "there are traces of being hit on the forehead."

"Yes," Fei Yingli touched her chin, "the murderer should have knocked them unconscious first and then killed them, but Miss Shiratou Yasumi was not knocked unconscious at that time..."

Ah Fupo: "..."

Can these people listen to her?

Even if you don’t believe in the Big Bird God, you shouldn’t ignore an old man over and over again, right?

So angry!

Conan wrapped an obsidian fragment in a handkerchief, walked from under the tree to Chi Feichi, reached out and handed the thing over, "Brother Chi, I found this at the feet of Miss Qinmei!"

Chi Feichi took out an evidence bag and asked Conan to put the fragments in it.

Conan took out the two pieces he got yesterday and put them on the grass to piece them together.

After putting it together this time, only one piece of the obsidian mirror was missing.

The pattern on the back is a very simple carving, showing a half-human, half-animal figure holding a drum-like object in his hand.

This kind of mural-like carving is very abstract. It can be seen that it is a human figure with fangs, but it cannot be seen what kind of beast it is. The thing in the hand is just a long object.

"What kind of pattern is this?" Yuantai followed and lay aside to watch.

Mitsuhiko touched his chin and thought, "It feels like a mural... No, it looks like a newly unearthed ancient cultural relic, a statue with big eyes and a big mouth made of clay."

Chi Feichi knelt down and looked at it for a moment, and could barely distinguish, "Huitzilopochtli."

"Huh?" Ayumi asked in surprise, "Do the people of Mesoamerica believe in the sun god?"

"Well, it is said that Huitzilopochtli's hands were decorated with feathers," Chi Feichi pointed to the hand of the figure on the obsidian fragment. "The left foot also has the same feather decoration, and he holds a shield and a spear in his hand."

"It turns out this is a shield, not a drum," Haiyuan Ai looked at the fragments and activated the poisonous tongue skill. "It's such a simple artistic depiction that people can't tell what it is."

"Did you come to investigate this morning?" Chi Feichi asked.

"Uh, yes," Conan looked at Afupo speechlessly, "But..."

"The little devils you brought here actually climbed the sacrificial tree. They will be punished!" Seeing that the group of people finally started to pay attention to her, Afupo said with a dark face, "I stopped them, but they still followed me.

Arguing, you really don’t respect me as a priest at all!”

Yuantai declared seriously, "We are not rude."

"That's right!" Mitsuhiko nodded.

Ayumi looked aggrieved, "It's my mother-in-law who is too cruel!"

Ah Fupo: "..."

Seeing how wronged the little girl was, she suddenly couldn't bear to accuse her.

While others were not paying attention, Conan leaned close to Chi Feichi's ear and whispered, "Before I had time to check if there was anything wrong with the sacrificial tree, this mother-in-law ran over. She stared closely and had no time to take a good look at it.

investigation."

Chi Feichi thought about it and could only say...

"come on."

Conan: "..."

Haiyuan Ai walked closer to the two of them, "Did you two discover anything else?"

"So..." Conan hesitated when he saw the commotion around him, "Let's wait until we get back."

"I made some discovery. When I got up in the morning, I looked through the books on the bookshelf in the Wakura family's living room," Haibara lamented. "There was a book called "Mesoamerican Dictionary", which contained

Picture of the golden eagle warrior who worshiped Huitzilopochtli.”

"Golden Eagle Warrior?" Conan's face changed slightly after being confused, "Could it be that..."

"That's right, it's an image with feathers covering its body and a bird's beak mask on its face." Haiyuan Ai looked at the villagers in the distance and softened his voice a little, "That weirdo must have become a golden eagle warrior.

Dress up, and it is also recorded in the books that they would sacrifice the hearts of prisoners of war. At the same time, fearing that the God of Darkness would defeat the God of the Sun, they would also sacrifice people who the God of Darkness liked alive. Of course, it is said that the Mayans who believed in the Sun God still ended up

They failed, and the victors were the Panthers who believed in Disktripoca, the god of darkness, that is, the people of the Olmec civilization."

Conan frowned and thought.

It seems that this village is indeed related to the Mesoamerican civilization, but where is it from?

Judging from the dress of the birdman yesterday, there should be a golden eagle warrior in the village. This is consistent with people who believe in the sun god. The murderer seems to be performing a human sacrifice.

But the name of the village is also called 'Fifteen Nights Village', and it looks like it comes from the God of Darkness.

Does the murderer have anything to do with his faith?

Is that what the weirdo said to the Cang family before about "being my divine enemy" hinting at this?

The villagers talked for a while and then left one after another and continued to pray at the shrine.

Chi Feichi and others also returned to Hecang's house.

"We can't contact the police at all now. Should we put down the bodies of my eldest brother and second sister first?" Misa Wakura sat helplessly on the sofa, turning to Ryoji Wakura for help, "Also, how should we follow up?

What did dad say about the second sister?"

Her father had a bad heart condition. He was scared by a birdman last night. Then her eldest brother died again. Her father almost had a heart attack and died. He still hasn't been able to get out of the hospital bed.

"Although I want to say it's better to hide it from Mr. Hecang first, but the strange noise that echoed through the village cannot be hidden. I'm afraid he also guessed that someone was killed," Fei Yingli sighed and said to Chi Feichi, "How about that?"

Yes, there is still no news about Miss Qinghua’s two companions, and the local police officer has promised to organize the villagers to help search for them.”

Chi Feichi didn't care about the movements of the two people and said casually, "If there's no news, it's not bad news."

At least judging from his tracking of Master Issei's whereabouts last night, those two people were not harmed.

Mitsuhiko nodded and said, "Maybe they have gone back long ago!"

"That's right." Fei Yingli breathed a sigh of relief.

Haiyuan Ai took out the "Mesoamerican Dictionary" from the bookshelf, took it to the table, opened it, and placed it in front of Chi Feichi, "This is the golden eagle warrior I saw, and... this

Page, above are the sun god Huitzilopochtli and the dark god Disktripoca."

Mitsuhiko stepped forward out of curiosity, "Both of them look half-human and half-animal."

Gentai exclaimed, "And the God of Darkness's left leg is really an obsidian mirror!"

"Ah..." Wakura Misa looked at the picture and suddenly exclaimed in low voice. When she saw other people looking at her, she quickly calmed down and stood up, "By the way, it's time for dad to take medicine. I'll go take a look."
