"This..." Hattori Heiji touched his chin and thought, "There will always be a chance. People will be negligent sometimes. If you can't catch it once, then do it twice. If twice doesn't work, then do it three times. Sooner or later, you will be able to prove yourself. guess……"
"Yeah, you're right!"
Conan smiled in relief and walked towards the mask stall.
He suddenly thought of this today because of Huiyuan.
Haiyuan usually doesn't show any special emotions towards Qiyue, or even pays too much attention to it. When he encounters this opportunity to draw on a blank mask, why does he suddenly think of Qiyue's mask? Why isn't it the classical mask I've come across before?
No matter how deeply you hide it, as long as you are human, you will always be negligent.
If there is someone lurking next to him, who can set him up so many times, Chi Feichi, who can solve the case before him every time, has that ability.
As for Hui Yuan, maybe he had the same suspicions and wanted to test things out as he did, or maybe he had known about it for a long time and sided with Chi Feichi, but...
Beside the stall, Haibara Ai didn't know that a famous detective was approaching with malicious intentions, and talked to Mao Lilan, "The time Edogawa was hit by a stray bullet, it was Qiyue who helped bring Edogawa out. Children I quite like him, and Qiyue's mask is very simple, you can draw it casually..."
Conan stumbled as he walked to the side.
July's mask is indeed very simple. On the pure white mask, two black dots represent the eyes, and a thicker and longer black line represents the mouth. Then add blue and purple marking lines above and below the eyes. That's it.
Wait, this guy Haiyuan is not interested in painting masks, but wants to pass the time, so it seems that it is not impossible to suddenly draw a July mask?
After Haiyuan Ai finished drawing the mask of the 'faceless man', he turned to ask Chi Feichi who was squatting next to him, "Brother Feichi, do you want to try it?"
Chi Feichi looked at the faceless male mask and said, "No, like a fool."
Conan: "..."
He is definitely overthinking.
Haibara Ai:"……"
Brother Fei Chi's self-deprecation is really amazing, as if Qi Qiyue is not himself, he complains so naturally, she can't help but admire him.
Chi Feichi casually picked up a red Tengu mask from the stall, stood up and paid with the boss.
The faceless man is originally a fool, wandering alone, abducted by others' polite warmth, clumsily wanting to be nice to one person, but not knowing how, the frog-eating man just wants to talk to one person and devour other existences Just to get that person's attention, I yelled "I won't let you go" fiercely, but in the end, I did nothing...
There is a faceless man in everyone's heart. The original consciousness has it, and he has it too, but people will grow and die.
When he chose this mask for Qiyue, he would stick to it, which would give Qiyue an identifiable feature. But when he was playing outside, he would not have anything to do with anything related to Qiyue. .
Don’t deliberately choose, don’t deliberately avoid, always be vigilant.
"He's really missing!"
From the side, a loud shout attracted the attention of a group of people.
A young monk was carrying a shopping bag with ingredients in his hand. He seemed to be passing by to buy ingredients. He stood in front of Mouri Kogoro with an eager look on his face. He looked around and stared at Chi Feichi who was wearing a Tengu mask on his face. "It's like meeting a tengu who abducted a child in the forest and having a divine hideout!"
Chi Feichi's hand paused, and he stared at the young monk through the mask that covered half of his face and the fingers holding the mask.
I see other people talking about abducting children. Master, are you polite?
The young monk was froze by Chi Feichi's cold gaze. He weakly retreated to Maori Kogoro, then looked at Maori Kogoro and said, "Anyway, when I meet a famous detective like you here, I have to say It's a kind of fate, please! Can you help me solve this mystery?"
"Dad, what happened?" Mao Lilan asked doubtfully.
"This..." Mouri Kogoro scratched his head strangely when he saw others looking at him, "This master said someone is missing."
"What?" Hattori Heiji was surprised.
"Yes, it's like this." The young monk calmed down and turned to look at a temple not far away. "I practice in that temple. My Dharma name is Chuanjiu. A few days ago, a guest came to visit the host. Suddenly disappeared into the monastery.”
"Did you leave by yourself and you didn't know about it?" Yuan Shan and Ye asked.
"That, that's impossible!" Monk Chuanjiu's face turned pale, "The guest was a female benefactor with long hair, so I invited her to live in another courtyard. The next morning, when I made breakfast and went to call her , she was still in the room, but with a knife stuck in her stomach, she was already dead..."
A chill spread in the air, and Huiyuan Ai couldn't help but look at Chi Feichi beside him.
Although she doesn't believe in gods, ghosts, ghosts, or corpses, what this young monk said is quite scary. At this time, she should look at Brother Fei Chi and make sure there are family members around her, which will definitely help her feel at ease and calm down a lot...
Chi Feichi had already put on the Tengu mask and looked down at Haiyuan Ai: "?"
Hui Yuan Ai silently looked away: "..."
Forget it, when she wasn't looking, Brother Fei Chi was wearing a black coat and a tengu mask, which made him feel even more gloomy.
Hattori Heiji didn't pay attention here and asked with an ugly face, "You mean she's dead?"
"Did you call the police?" Conan asked.
"Of course, after I told the abbot who was sleeping in the temple, I immediately called the police," Monk Chuanjiu said with a look of horror on his face, "But when the police arrived, except for the abbot who was staying there, no matter whether it was the body of the female donor, , or the blood stains on the tatami, all disappeared!"
Mao Lilan felt a chill on her back and hid behind Yuan Shan and Ye, "It's a lie..."
Haihara Ai suddenly felt that this incident was interesting and asked aloud, "Then what did the host say?"
"He said that the guest had returned early in the morning," said Monk Chuanjiu, whose face was as white as paper. "He also said that I must be dreaming."
Mouri Kogoro looked at Monk Denjiu with suspicion, "You really didn't wake up, right?"
"How is this possible!" Monk Chuanjiu emphasized with certainty, "I definitely saw it!"
"Okay, okay, since you said so, let's go to the temple and listen to what the master said..." Hattori Heiji smiled and turned to look at the others. After seeing Chi Feichi, his face changed. His smile froze, the corner of his mouth twitched slightly, and he said speechlessly, "Brother Fei Chi, can you take off the mask? I look very scary..."
Chi Feichi stretched out his hand to push the mask over his head and looked at Hattori Heiji, "Is it okay?"
Tengu legends are everywhere. Is this mask so scary? Hattori's ability to bear this is too low.
Hattori Heiji looked at it and found that it was indeed not as cold as before, so he nodded reluctantly, "But, it's okay..."
…
Shengyue Temple.
Mouri Kogoro's rental car and red Lexus SC were parked at the door.
Monk Chuanjiu led a group of people to the place where the host was resting. He introduced the host Shilian to the group of people, and then introduced Kogoro Mori to the host.
Host Shi Lian was thin, with wrinkles on his face, but he was in good spirits. He wore a pair of black-rimmed glasses and looked gentle and kind. However, when listening to Monk Chuanjiu's introduction, he couldn't help but look at Chi Feichi, and then He looked at Chi Feichi.
Mouri Kogoro looked back, scratched his head and introduced, "This...he is my disciple, Chi Feichi."
His disciples were standing in the back. They had often done this before, and they were not very eye-catching. But today, they were wearing a red Tengu mask on their heads, which made it easier for people to notice. In addition, Fei Chi was leaning on his shoulders and staring straight at them. , the whole person is very gloomy, no wonder the host is always distracted...
Master Shi Lian looked away, "What's the point of a famous detective like you coming to our temple?"
Mouri Kogoro looked at Denku, "Well, it's actually Master Denku from your temple..."
"My guests disappeared like children abducted by Tengu," Host Shi Lian looked at the Tengu mask on Chi Feichi's head again, "Did Chuanjiu's sleep talk arouse your interest?"
Chi Feichi silently took off the Tengu mask and held it in his hand.
Yes, there is a legend that the Tengu will lead lost people in the forest, and the children taken away by the Tengu are called "Shenyin", but these monks don't have to look at him over and over again and say it, right?
He never abducted children. If he had any at home, he would pick them up.
"Ah, well..."
Mouri Kogoro couldn't help but follow Shi Lian and look at his apprentice, his expression gradually became dull.
If it weren't for the fear of being violently intimidated by his apprentice, he really wanted to let his apprentice go out first so as not to affect their normal conversation.
Hattori Heiji's half-moon eyes took a step forward, "Let's be honest, we came here to confirm whether what Master Denkyu saw was an illusion, or if someone really died, but you rushed before the police arrived, Get rid of all the corpses and blood stains!"
"Oh... this young man's idea is really interesting," Shi Lian's expression changed. He stood up and put on his shoes, "Okay, then I will take you to the other courtyard to have a look, the one Chuanjiu mentioned. A room that devours people.”
Hattori Heiji:"……"
( ̄- ̄?)
It must be because Brother Fei Chi made the atmosphere too cold and seemed to lack momentum!
…
The distance between the monastery and the temple is not close.
A group of people were walking on the road. It was getting dusk, and the setting sun spread a layer of warm orange on the road.
Shi Lian would look at Chi Fei Chi from time to time, which attracted others to look at Chi Fei Chi from time to time.
Chi Feichi didn't care and walked on the road like no one else.
Hattori Heiji couldn't hold back his anger at first. When Shi Lian looked at Chi Fei Chi again, he asked aloud, "Master Shi Lian, what's wrong with Fei Chi? Why do you always look at him?"
Shi Lian looked away and thought seriously, "Red is a color that easily attracts attention. When I noticed him just now, there seemed to be a sense of harmony and harmony between him and the Tengu mask, and the snake owner also It’s rare, maybe because it’s so special. I’ve never met such a person before, so I can’t help but look at it more.”
Hui Yuan Ai looked up at Chi Feichi who was walking beside him, and acknowledged, "Brother Feichi often gives people a very strange feeling when he is put together with some traditional and old things."
"I think it's probably because he doesn't have any youthful vigor in him," Mouri Kogoro sighed inwardly, telling himself that his apprentice didn't mind, "Fei Chi, young people need to be more energetic and smile more. Okay..."
No energy?
dead!
Shi Lian paused for a moment, and soon felt that she was out of her mind. Without looking back at Chi Feichi, she continued to the other courtyard.
Conan also instantly thought of the word 'dead person', and even thought of Chi Fei Chi's ability to stay motionless until dawn without talking in his sleep or turning over when sleeping. He thought of Chi Fei Chi staying in the old apartment like a dead soul, and thought of Chi Fei Chi. Fei Chi felt like a god when he wore the white kimono. In the end, he silently disliked himself in his heart.
It was all because the atmosphere today was so supernatural that he actually thought about that kind of feudal superstition.
His little friend is sometimes a little quieter, but he can run, move, and talk, but he doesn't look like a corpse...
