Chapter 454 Is it time to erect a divine statue?
A group of Police Officers were stunned in the Bush.
What's the Situation?
They were still wondering if they should rush out to arrest the Criminal since the Little Girl's voice had alerted him, but the person just fell? Fell?
Why?
Those words were scary, but not scary enough to cause this, right?
Shancun Cao was stunned for two seconds, then suddenly jumped up, moved away from Chi Feichei and Haibara Ai, and pointed at them with a horrified expression, "Ahhh! You actually cursed him to death!"
Conan had already run forward, squatted down to check Jinbo Masao's breathing, and turned his head to remind the unreliable Shancun Cao, "Police Officer Shancun, he just fainted from fright."
"Phew..." Shancun Cao breathed a sigh of relief and patted his chest, "Thank goodness, thank goodness, it was just a curse to make him faint."
Haibara Ai: "..."
Why does he have to attribute this to a curse?
It's clearly just that this person is a bit too timid.
"Early finish..."
Chi Feichei was too lazy to argue with Shancun Cao and took a breath of fresh air in the Forest.
"All ghosts are scattered."
Conan: "..."
The Criminal has fainted, can it not end early?
...
Jinbo Masao woke up at the Police Department, honestly confessed the entire process of the crime, and also confessed to a robbery case he had committed ten years ago.
No Deduction, no need for Deduction.
Mori Kogoro was needlessly injected with a needle, woke up in the Car, and groggily returned to the Hotel to continue sleeping.
The Next Day, Shancun Cao drove to the Hotel, told them the follow-up, and offered to send the group away.
"Police Officer Shancun, it's really Troublesome to have you send us, we feel so Sorry, just send us out of the Forest, Hassashi's Car is parked Outside the Forest," Mori Kogoro said, but still followed Shancun Cao out of the Hotel quite readily, scratching his hair, "But, did I really not do any Reasoning last night?"
"Yes," Shancun Cao nodded seriously, after leaving the Hotel, he walked to the Front of Car, opened the Car Door of the Back Seat, and said to Haibara Ai, "Princess, please!"
"Huh?" Mori Kogoro looked confused, why again?
Haibara Ai was too lazy to pay attention to Shancun Cao, yawned, and got into the Car.
The road walked last night was a bit far, and I'm still a bit tired this morning after getting up.
On the way to leave, Shancun Cao drove the Car and couldn't help but say, "Mr. Chi, it was actually a Sacrifice, right? It must have been a Sacrifice! Last night you took Princess out and secretly sacrificed her, saving the person who committed Suicide last night, and also cursed the Criminal to faint, helping us arrest the Criminal, so now that there is a Forest Princess, there won't be so many people running here to commit Suicide in the future, right? Ah, By the Way, is it okay for the Princess to leave the Forest? Can she still bless here afterwards?"
Haibara Ai: "..."
Conan: "..."
What rich imagination.
However, after the horror Legend spreads, there will indeed be fewer people coming here to commit Suicide in the future.
People who commit Suicide will not be frightened by Legends.
Those people are already disheartened, unless they personally encounter such a terrifying Scene as last night, arouse Fear, and have a little Belief in escaping and living, just Legends, Guess it's not very useful.
But after the horror Legend spreads, I'm afraid many daring horror enthusiasts will come to adventure, and maybe Reporters and the like will also run here.
People come here to commit Suicide, originally because they don't want to be stopped, so they find such a remote Place, when this Place is no longer remote, no one will choose to commit Suicide here.
In addition, as more people come, that Hotel and the nearby villagers can also develop Tourism and earn some Money...
Mysteriously speaking, the Forest Princess can really eliminate the Suicide phenomenon of Head God Forest all along, and can also benefit the people in this area.
Chi Feichei also thought of this, "Leaving can also bless, then is it time to erect a divine statue?"
Haibara Ai: "..."
Hey hey...
"Of course!" Shancun Cao said seriously, "The Boss of Aoi House Inn is already organizing the villagers to build a divine statue of the Forest Princess, and it will be erected near the Pre-Fallen Jizo in front of the Forest, everyone will not forget Princess and Mr. Chi's Sacrifice and dedication!"
"Don't forget to erect a divine statue of Child of Nature as well," Chi Feichei said calmly, "The Forest is managed by Nature, there is this Legend in Shizuoka."
Hassashi, hiding under the Clothes, couldn't help but poke its head out, is it really okay for Master to seriously ask for a divine statue like this?
However...
Ai is 'sacrificed' by Master, Master should have a divine statue, no Problem.
"Huh? Really?" Shancun Cao nodded seriously, "Then I'll Call Shizuoka later to ask, and tell them later."
"Hey..." Conan pulled on the corner of Chi Feichei's Clothes.
Isn't it not very good to promote superstition like this?
"Tourism." Chi Feichei said to Conan in a low voice.
He didn't know what the divine statue was for, the 'Crimson Witch', 'Child of Nature', 'Light Demon' divine statues on Tenbu Mountain were also erected for a while, and he, Koizumi Akako, and Conan didn't see any Benefit.
But he just wanted to have one more divine statue than Koizumi Akako and Conan, is that not okay?
Also, he always felt like something was staring at him.
Could Koizumi Akako be secretly watching?
As soon as it involves divine statues, she looks so active...
Conan Considered for a moment and nodded.
Let's not talk about whether the divine statue is useful or not, if it's built a little better, it's also a work of Art, which can be shown to people who come to play, take photos, etc., and there are also Stories to listen to, which is better than a dry Forest.
If Tourism can be developed, it will also be a Benefit to the people here, and building a divine statue won't be a Loss.
"Then after the divine statue is built, should I come back to Check?" Haibara Ai teased with a calm Face.
"Are you coming back to See the divine statue?" Shancun Cao said actively, "If you come, you must tell me, if I'm not on Duty, I will definitely pick you up!"
"What are you guys talking about?" Mori Kogoro was confused, "What divine statue? What Princess?"
"Pfft!" Mouri Ran chuckled, her Face couldn't hide her smile, she didn't explain to Mori Kogoro, turned her Head to look Outside the Car Window, and sighed softly, "I feel like Head God Forest has become much brighter too, Ai must come back to See it another Day, I want to come too."
Haibara Ai also turned her Head to look Outside the Car Window, looking at the Jungle slowly passing by, her Gaze gradually softened.
I don't know if it's a Mood change, but this Forest seems to be really not as gloomy as when we came.
She knew very well that there was no Sacrifice, but this Place would leave traces of her existence, and she always felt much kinder, as if this Forest was really connected to her.
...
"Because you are recognized by people, you want to protect, because of protection, you have a sense of belonging..."
In the Basement, Koizumi Akako lay on the Table, propped her chin with one hand, looking at the Scene in the Crystal Ball, her eyes a little lost in thought.
"Miss Hongzi, what you said is really great!" The Crystal Ball's voice cheerfully flattered.
"Of course," Koizumi Akako's emotion in her eyes instantly receded, she raised her chin, her voice soft and proud, "I am the official Heir of the Red Magic Lineage."
"Ding~"
Mobile Phone received a new UL Message.
Scarecrow (Chi Feichei's game name): [Don't peep, otherwise I'll go back and smash your Crystal Ball.]
Koizumi Akako's head suddenly popped up with a '#' symbol, she put the Mobile Phone next to the Crystal Ball, slapped the Table and got up, "Is he threatening me? I want to See it, so I'll See it, so what? Hmph, evil Child of Nature!"
The Crystal Ball reflected the UL Message on the Mobile Phone, "Cough, um, Miss Hongzi, I think..."
"Don't look at it, there's nothing good to See, let's See how Kaito will be unlucky Recently!"
Koizumi Akako decisively made the Crystal Ball change the Scene, her Crystal Ball, if it's going to be smashed, only she can smash it, "If it's not about unlucky things, then don't say it."
"Unlucky things... I guess there are some," the Crystal Ball shook out a Scene, "If no one helps, he will be caught..."
Koizumi Akako was stunned.
So unlucky?
Seems a bit too unlucky, that won't do.
She should still remind him...
Wait, before that, I have to show off in front of Child of Nature...
[I saw that Kid is going to be arrested~]
[No News about Spider, don't look for me]
Koizumi Akako: "..."
(`Δ`)!
...
Outside Head God Forest, Chi Feichei put away his Mobile Phone, said goodbye to Shancun Cao, and got into his Car.
Kaito Kid is going to be arrested?
Then Kuroba Kaito owes him that Feast, he has to eat it quickly.
But not tonight, tonight he has to go to Doctor Agasa's House to make something Delicious for Doctor Agasa who has been eating Bento for two Days...
That Night, Doctor Agasa's House.
After Dinner, the Television was turned on.
Doctor Agasa and Haibara Ai were already in position on the Sofa, staring at the Advertisement on the Television.
Chi Feichei poured Juice, brought it over, and put it on the Table, "It's still more than 10 minutes before it starts broadcasting, no need to wait idly."
"Ah, Thank You," Doctor Agasa thanked him, picked up the Juice with a smile, "Have you not been to the Forum on your Company's website? For this Program, Guess everyone will be waiting in advance."
"The Notice for the fifth Program is too suspenseful," Haibara Ai said.
Chi Feichei sat down beside them.
Currently, most Program Notices are videos like Advertisements, finding a guest to babble words, for example, for diet Variety Show, they just say with a smile something like 'Yoko invites you to taste Delicious Food together at x o'clock', 'Duel of two chef kings', etc., play a Video of Delicious Food, and then play a visually impactful cooking Performance from the previous or this Program.
'Inter-Genre Singing Competition' has hardly changed its Notices for the first three Programs since it started broadcasting, because it is to spread Fame, it is also in the form of Advertisements, reciting the slogan 'Anyone from any Profession can take the Stage', plus a little Scene of the Stage.
Until the last Program, the Notice began to be suspenseful, for example, not filming the singer, but only filming the Reaction of the judges or the audience, making people curious about what exactly happened.
Because the people who appear on Stage in the Program itself have various Identities, which is novel enough, it is really too suitable to be so suspenseful.
And this Program, that is, the fifth Program, after testing the audience's acceptance, under his advocacy, this kind of bad behavior of being suspenseful has become more serious.
There is a clip in the middle where the expressions of the four judges become very exciting after they turn around one after another.
Reiko Akiba, who is usually calmer, almost lost her Expression, not to mention the other three, it was completely a reaction of being greatly frightened, the kind that takes a long time to recover.
As For the person On Stage...
Want to know who it is? Sorry, please wait for the broadcast to start.
Guess many people who are following it are also waiting for the broadcast to start, and when the Notice came out a few Days ago, they had already kindly greeted the person who planned the Notice.
For Example, Gin sent an Email to ask him, who came up with this suspenseful Notice, he honestly replied with 'me', and Gin also kindly replied with a Sentence - 'Lack of virtue'.
Actually, in another two years... no, in this World, probably after a while, Notices will be like this, if it's not suspenseful, how to attract people to watch?
Conan should have already Guess who the person On Stage is, he is not sure whether Conan will wait in advance, but it should not prevent Conan from keeping his anticipation.

Conan had already run forward, squatted down to check Jinbo Masao's breathing, and turned his head to remind the unreliable Shancun Cao, "Police Officer Shancun, he just fainted from fright."
"Phew..." Shancun Cao breathed a sigh of relief and patted his chest, "Thank goodness, thank goodness, it was just a curse to make him faint."
