Conan: I Am Not a Snake Spirit

Early the next morning.

Since the tram can go directly, it is much faster than driving by yourself, and there are not many people on the train to the destination, and it will not appear crowded, so Chi Feichi resolutely gave up driving there by himself.

The trio of Maori plague gods and the duo of Chi Feichi's eating and playing case met at the station and took the tram to Kanagawa.

When he arrived at the destination, Kuroki Jiro was already waiting at the station. After seeing Kogoro Mori, he enthusiastically greeted him, "Mr. Mori!"

"Kuroki," Mori Kogoro walked forward with a smile, "I want you to come pick us up, I'm really sorry for you!"

Chi Feichi followed and took a look around.

This is a small town, not that prosperous, but quiet enough.

There are not many passers-by, and there are almost no tourists who come here. Most of the people who enter and leave the station are locals who are going to other places or returning from outside.

Kuroki Jiro is a muscular young man with his hair tied back in the front, exposing his forehead and unibrow. He has a square face and broad palms. Compared to the apprentice of a famous painter, he looks more like a sumo wrestler. .

However, Chi Feichi noticed the thick calluses between Kuroki Jiro's fingers that he held the paintbrush all the year round, the pink paint remaining in the crevices of the nails, and the traces of black-gray charcoal powder deep into the texture of the joints on the side of the palm.

Drawing does not require nimble fingers, and not only good-looking hands are suitable for picking up a paintbrush.

Leaving aside ideas and talent, it can be seen that Kuroki Jiro himself is a hardworking person, as long as his talent is not so bad that heinously bad, his work will not be too bad.

It's just that Zaohe Jingshan is famous for his sketches, but his disciples still take care of painting gouache...

"Let me introduce, this is the Mr. Kuroki I told you about last night," Mori Kogoro smiled and introduced the group of people he brought to Kuroki Jiro, "This is my disciple Chi Feichi! "

"Hello."

"This is his little sister, Xiao Ai."

"Hello."

"This is my daughter Xiaolan, and Conan who is currently staying at my house."

"Mr. Kuroki, hello."

"Hello, please give me your advice."

"Please give me your advice too," Kuroki Jiro responded with a smile, took the luggage bag from Mori Kogoro's hand, and walked out of the station, "Mr. We walked there and it didn't take too long to get there."

Outside the station, Kuroki Jiro put the luggage bag brought by Mori Kogoro on the back seat of the bicycle, took the bag brought by Ike Feichi, put it on the same place, and pulled the rope to tie it tightly.

When Mori Kogoro was waiting for Kuroki Jiro to pack his luggage, he talked about business, "Actually, I had a general understanding of the situation during the phone call last night. Is Master Jingshan's trough this time really that serious?"

"Yeah," Kuroki Jiro looked worried, "In the past three months, the teacher has not even made a work."

"How could this be?" Mori Kogoro wondered.

Kuroki Jiro continued to tie his luggage, "I'm thinking that he is seventy years old, which may be a reason, but he doesn't seem to have any inspiration for creation. He even started to shake his fingers in anxiety recently."

"That's serious..." Mori Kogoro said.

"The teacher hasn't eaten well recently, and his mood is not very stable." Kuroki Jiro packed his luggage and looked at Mori Kogoro. "Sometimes he is very excited, and sometimes he seems abnormally silent."

Mori Kogoro said with a heavy expression, "So, the idea of ​​suicide was finally conceived..."

"Hmm..." Kuroki Jiro responded, and quickly said, "Anyway, I'll take you there first."

On the hill behind the station, houses are scattered on both sides of the loess path built along the hill. Behind the bamboo forest at the end is the residence of Zaohe Jingshan.

Kuroki Jiro pushed the bicycle, carrying a group of people's luggage to lead the way, "The reason why I invited Mr. Mori here today is mainly to help the teacher change his mood a little bit. You are a busy person and I am causing you trouble. "

"Where?" Mori Kogoro scratched his head and smiled, "I have been friends with the master for many years, and of course I want to help him a little!"

"Since a hotel with wine and hot springs has been arranged here, of course uncle will not refuse," Conan who was walking behind debunked Mori Kogoro, "Right? Sister Xiaolan."

"Exactly." Mao Lilan said with a smile.

Mori Kogoro turned around speechlessly, "What are you talking about!"

"But when it comes to drinking and shaking hands," Hui Yuanai looked at Chi Feichi, "Could it be hepatic encephalopathy related to liver cirrhosis?"

"It's impossible to judge," Chi Feichi recalled. "Hepatic encephalopathy associated with cirrhosis will be accompanied by asterixis, involuntary shaking of the arms, and chronic, recurrent changes in personality and behavior. It is impossible to judge without seeing the person himself."

"By the way," Mori Kogoro asked Kuroki Jiro, "Did Master Shizuyama go to the hospital for an examination?"

"You also know that the master is a stubborn person who cares about face," Kuroki Jiro said with a helpless smile, "During the physical examination last year, the doctor did say that his liver is not very good and asked him to control the amount of alcohol he drinks, but he I don’t like going to the hospital, saying that it’s not good to be treated as an old man who is sick everywhere. Of course, his condition doesn’t seem to be that serious, but his fingers sometimes tremble slightly, which affects his painting. I persuaded him Twice, seeing that he was in a worse mood, I had no choice but to let him go."

While speaking, a group of people also entered the bamboo forest.

On both sides of the loess trail, there are green bamboos standing neatly.

Feichi poked his head quietly, looked at a clear green bamboo forest and grassland, and immediately became refreshed, "Master, the scenery here is really good!"

"That's right, but your teacher's life is really good," Mori Kogoro was still talking to Kuroki Jiro with a smile, "to have such a caring apprentice like you by my side."

Kuroki Jiro still has the honest appearance of a sumo wrestler, "I can be where I am today because of my teacher, but I didn't expect Mr. Mori to have an apprentice."

"Yeah, he's my chief disciple," Mori Kogoro smiled, caught a glimpse of the indifferent profile of Chi Feichi who was walking aside, approached Kuroki Jiro's ear with black lines, and whispered, " He is very capable, but he has no plans to be a detective in the future, and he has nothing to do with empathy."

Chi Feichi didn't even look at Kogoro Mouri, "Oh, I'm sorry."

Maori Kogoro:"!"

Σ⊙▃⊙chuan

His voice is so low that he can be heard?

The crisp and leisurely chirping of birds came from the bamboo forest.

"Humans! Humans!"

Mori Kogoro found the target to change the topic, looked up, "Oh? It's Huang Ying!"

Conan laughed dryly, the uncle faced his apprentice like a mouse meeting a cat, there was no way to save him.

Kuroki Jiro also found it interesting, smiled, and cooperated with Mori Kogoro to change the subject, "There are many orioles in this bamboo forest."

Mori Kogoro breathed a sigh of relief, and glanced at Chi Feichi: Look at other people's apprentices, can this kid be gentle with his teacher... No, the requirements are too high, can he be more pleasant?

Chi Feichi glanced at Mori Kogoro's resentful face, and looked away: childish.

Maori Kogoro:"……"

Feeling despised by apprentices, how to break, how to maintain the dignity of a teacher in front of such disciples, etc. online.

"It came from here," Mao Lilan was really distracted, and didn't notice the silent contempt and despise between the master and apprentice here, walked to the edge of the bamboo forest, and looked into the depths of the bamboo forest, "Huh? This person is..."

In the bamboo grove, an old man with gray and simple clothes and gray hair left behind his neck was sitting on a stone, with his back to the road, and painting tools were placed at his feet, concentrating on the painting on the easel in front of him.

"Master Jingshan!" Mao Lilan recognized the other party.

Hui Yuanai walked to the edge of the bamboo grove, looked at the figure from behind, and nodded slightly. It was indeed a bit of a master, and it seemed that his condition was not that bad.

Mori Kogoro led a group of people into the bamboo forest to say hello to Haya Kazuyama.

Zaohe Jingshan put the painting aside, let Conan and Hui Yuanai take the painting to look at, and laughed at Mori Kogoro, "Zi said, it's such a pleasure to have friends coming from afar, what I'm talking about is this kind of situation Well, if I can’t find you, I’ll drop by here.”

Mori Kogoro followed what he said to Kuroki Jiro before, pretending that a group of people were just stopping by, and said with a smile, "When I saw the Honyu Station, I immediately thought of the master, so I brought these juniors over to visit, excuse me Please don't be offended if your cleanliness is compromised!"

Conan and Hui Yuanai looked at the painting from the side, and walked up to them with the painting.

"It's okay," Zaohe Jingshan said with a smile, "It's a good thing to be lively once in a while."

"However, it's great to see your body so strong!" Mori Kogoro said.

"Don't look at me as I'm old, I'm old and strong!" Zao He Jingshan still sat on the stone, with a long gray beard, and the wrinkles on his face were slightly bent because of his smile, which made people feel kind at first glance. He turned and pointed Zhu Lin said, "Just take the example just now, I'm sitting here drawing a sketch for Zhu Lin, hahaha..."

Mori Kogoro approached Kuroki Jiro, who was standing aside with downcast eyebrows and extremely respectful, and muttered in a low voice, "Why can't I see any pressure in Master's heart at all?"

"Can't you see it?" Kuroki Jiro opened one eye and said seriously, "He doesn't want others to see him looking lonely, so he tries to stay calm."

Kogoro Mori looked back at Shizuzan Hayaka.

Is it pretend?

Chi Feichi also observed Zao He Jingshan's state, and he always felt that he did not seem like someone who would commit suicide.

A yellow warbler flew across the bamboo forest, attracting the attention of Mao Lilan and Hui Yuanai.

Mori Kogoro looked up at the yellow warbler, "This is the sound the yellow warbler makes when it crosses the valley."

Zao He Jingshan stood up, not tall, about 1.6 meters, probably older, a little thin and thin, and even shorter, "Actually, that was their sound of warning, sorry, I have to Please leave here first, this bamboo forest, to these orioles, is a sacred and inviolable..."

The oriole croaked and flew around and landed on Chi Feichi's shoulder, not forgetting to call out to friends with a clear voice, "This way, this way."

Spirituality is not enough for it to express too clearly, it just feels comfortable with this person, has a feeling of seeing its companions, and wants to ask them to come and witness its new discoveries.

Conan, Mao Lilan, and Haibara fell silent.

Hayakawa Shizan and Kuroki Jiro were also silent.

This is Huang Ying's warning?

It all falls on other people's shoulders.

Mori Kogoro secretly observed the slightly surprised and embarrassed expression of Sao Kawa Shizan, sweating in his heart.

The slap in the face came a bit suddenly, and it is fatal to an old man who cares about face. He chose to bring Chi Feichi to visit this time, isn't it a bit depressing...
