Conan: I'm Not a Ghost

Sakaki smiled very happily.

only.

The smile fell in Kidd's eyes, but it made his hair stand on end.

Sakaki Cheng placed the plate in front of Kid, took away his rice and miso soup, and said with a smile:

"Tell me about the fried shrimp you ordered."

Kidd looked at the fried shrimps and then at the rice not far away.

The corner of his mouth twitched slightly:

"Where's my staple food?"

"You only asked me for fried shrimp and didn't say anything else."

With a grin on his face, Sakaki asked with interest:

"What did you find out about your investigation?"

"."

Kidd regretted it.

Especially when Miyano Akemi brought the stewed tomato beef brisket to the table and smelled the aroma that poured into her nose.

My stomach growled.

It seems like he shouldn't threaten Sakaki Cheng with fried shrimp.

after all

Sakaki Cheng is a typical person who eats soft things but not hard things.

This is troublesome.

If you have nothing to show for yourself.

Not surprisingly, his lunch today was this tempura fried shrimp.

"I discovered that the invitation was sent directly from the Dusk Annex!"

Without any further hesitation, Kidd directly stated the information he had learned:

“After looking through the post office files, I found that the invitation was sent from a gas station in the mountains of Nagano Prefecture!”

"so."

Sakaki Cheng said:

"Do you suspect that the owner of the Dusk Annex is currently in Nagano Prefecture?"

"That's right!"

Kidd nodded repeatedly:

"The invitation letters received by Hattori Heiji, Hakuba Tan, and Mori Kogoro have the same handwriting. They are definitely written by the same person!"

"And the most infuriating thing is"

"The name on the invitation turned out to be me again!"

"Who did I provoke?"

"Why do every prisoner commit crimes in my name?"

name on invitation

oh.

It is the phantom of the abandoned son of God at the end.

“When Aaron has finished offering the sin offering for the holy place, the tabernacle, and the altar, he is going to offer the living goat. He will lay his hands on the goat’s head and confess all the iniquities and transgressions of the Israelites, who are All their sins will be laid on the head of the sheep, and the sheep will be sent into the wilderness by the hands of those who are appointed. The sheep will bear all their sins and carry them away to no one. place.”

With her lips slightly parted, Miss Miyano read out these words and looked at Sakaki:

"This passage comes from Chapter 16 of Leviticus in the Old Testament."

“God gave up the goat to eternal exile as the bearer of sin.”

"In the New Testament, the black goat also symbolizes Baphomet, the devil who fell into the abyss, and the kid goat can also be translated as KID in English. The owner of the Twilight Villa really regarded Kid as a heinous sinner. Woolen cloth."

"That's it!"

Kidd slammed the table and said angrily:

"How could I be so evil!"

"You didn't do anything good anyway."

After drinking water, Sakaki's head ached, but he didn't show it:

"Have you found out the identity of the owner of Dusk Villa?"

"No."

Kidd sighed:

"The first owner is not difficult to investigate. His name is Karasuma Renye. He was a rich man half a century ago. At that time, the Karasuma family had considerable power in politics and business. They could even enter and leave the Imperial Palace at will."

"But just half a century ago, the Karasuma family suddenly disappeared. All information about them was hidden, and very few people knew about it."

"There is only one cabinet minister floating on the water so far."

Kidd has always been favored by Sakaki for his powerful intelligence gathering ability and voice-changing skills.

Compared with the information he could obtain, although his stealing methods were superb, they were still a little inferior.

Even he couldn't find any information about the Karasuma family.

It's worth considering.

"Let's eat."

Sakaki Cheng rubbed his eyebrows, picked up the chopsticks, and stopped asking.

Suddenly, someone pulled his sleeve.

Turn around and look.

Kidd was looking at him longingly and kept pouting his lips to indicate.

"."

Sighing, Sakaki pulled the rice and miso soup in front of him and said with a smile:

"I was joking with you just now, why didn't I let you eat?"

Kidd picked up a piece of beef brisket and put it into his mouth without saying a word.

Go ahead and cheat!

He didn't believe it.

If I hadn't reacted quickly, today's lunch would have ended up with just one pitiful tempura fried shrimp!

but.

Beef brisket is so fragrant

Under the pressure cooker, the beef brisket is completely tender. When you bite it gently, the soup contained in it will burst out, making it sweet and sour.

Now let’s take a bite of the tempura fried shrimp with tartar sauce.

It can be called a delicacy in the world.

Too much food.

A fried shrimp arrived in a bowl.

Sakaki Cheng glanced at Miss Miyano:

"Aren't you going to eat?"

"I have one more."

Miss Miyano held the bowl and sipped the miso soup:

"You have contributed a lot, so you have to make up for it."

"Right."

When Sakaki mentioned the matter of contribution, he remembered:

"Brother Kidd, are you going to the Dusk Annex tomorrow?"

"Sure!"

Kidd devoured the food without raising his head and said:

"I have to see who dares to call a detective in my name."

"I will never spare him!"

The next day, 7 o'clock in the morning.

Dragging a suitcase, Sakaki Cheng arrived at the car rental company on time with Miss Miyano and Hattori Heiji.

The staff who had been waiting at the door early took the vouchers and led the three people to the backyard parking lot.

"Sir, your rental period is 48 hours, ending at 7 a.m. the day after tomorrow."

Taking the insurance policy, the staff member said:

"If you fail to pay the rent overdue, we will charge you 1,500 yuan for rent for every hour exceeded. If it is less than one hour, it will be counted as one hour. Is this okay?"

"Can."

"Please inspect the vehicle. If you find any defects or bumps, please report them to us as soon as possible."

Before handing over the car, the staff took photos of the entire car and kept them to ensure that no disputes would arise due to bumps and other issues during handover:

"We have already filled up the gas tank. Please fill it up when you return the car."

After everything is ready

"This is your key, please keep it."

After getting the keys, Sakaki and the others immediately got into the car, put away their luggage and put the drinking water in the back seats, under the supervision of Hattori's brother.

As for Miss Miyano.

Then he sat on the passenger seat.

After starting the vehicle, fastening the seat belt and shifting it to D, Sakaki stepped on the accelerator and the station wagon slowly drove out of the parking lot and arrived downstairs at the office.

At this time, Mouri Kogoro and his family were waiting downstairs in a white car.

After the rendezvous, according to the pre-agreed route, the two cars went straight to the highway one after the other.

Yesterday noon

Sakaki Cheng had invited Kidd to go with him.

But I don’t know why.

Kidd actually refused, saying he had his own way.

Sakaki didn't think much about it. How could Kidd always surprise him?

Drinking water and food were all available in the car. Miss Miyano looked at the map and said:

"As long as you keep going north, you can reach Nagano Prefecture along the highway. There are 13 service areas on the road."

"It's 7 a.m., estimated time of arrival in Nagano Prefecture"

"For 5 p.m."
