Chapter 471: Gift from Nature
“Also, if you want to be a king, that won't work,” Hassashi chatted with Fei Li while lying down, “You need to learn to Rule...”
“Rule?” Fei Li asked doubtfully.
“It's about having a large group of followers, letting them do things for you, that's what a King is,” Hassashi said, “Actually, I don't really understand it either, Feimo told me this, Feimo is a Crow, it can also fly, but it's not as big as a Seagull.”
Fei Li：“Then it's so small.”
Hassashi：“But it's still very powerful, many Birds listen to it, it's a pity it went to America, otherwise we could have it teach you how to Rule...”
Fei Li：“America？”
Hassashi：“Feimo said, it's land on the other side of the Sea, very far away, Master found an Airplane to send it and its Subordinates over there.”
Fei Li：“Why did it go to such a far Place?”
Hassashi：“Because……”
……
While waiting for Chi Feichei to eat, Hassashi and Fei Li talked about Tuanzi after talking about Feimo, and talked about Jubei after talking about Feimo, and also talked about the White Snake Dabai family and those Cats that jog with Chi Feichei at night.
Fei Li then told Hassashi about the Situation in the Sea, all kinds of Creatures, all kinds of interesting things.
Chi Feichei became interested, listening to Fei Li's description, occasionally reporting Humanity's Appellation for that Animal.
He didn't know much about Matters in the Sea either, listening to Fei Li talk about it was quite interesting.
For one meal, Chi Feichei ate for almost an Hour.
Fei Li waited for Chi Feichei to clear the Table before looking up at the Sky, "Master, that person died eight years ago today, let's quickly send the Things to that Child, he should feel a little happier."
Eight years today? Went to Sea and died at Sea?
Chi Feichei recalled the Case Conan encountered this time, the Fathers of the three Suspects all died today.
He got involved with the Case again?
“Fei Li, was the Ship that person took hit by someone?"
“Huh?” Fei Li was stunned for a moment, recalling, “Really? When I went over, he was already in the Sea, so I wasn't sure...”
“Yes, yes!"
Three Seagulls fell from the high sky chirping, chirping and chattering.
“Another Ship sank their Ship by hitting it, Intentionally! Intentionally!"
“That Man who used a Ship to hit someone else's Ship must be dead now."
“Tonight, when it just got dark, he was made drunk, then entangled with a Fishing Net and placed in a Sand Pit, and then a Ship was pressed on top of him, the Seawater is already rising, he will definitely be drowned."
“It was done by the Child of one of those three people from back then..."
Seemingly all Seagulls like to spoil Cases.
Now that's good, Chi Feichei recalled the entire Plot again.
Fei Li looked up and asked, "Is it the Child I Say?"
“Seems like no and seems like yes...”
“The sky is too Black, I didn't see clearly...”
“I didn't see clearly either...”
The three Seagulls couldn't quite distinguish.
“No."
Chi Feichei gave Fei Li a definite Answer.
He couldn't even remember the Names of the three Suspects in this Case, but the Culprit would go to the Dining Room early to create an Alibi, and didn't go to worship the Father who died at Sea eight years ago.
The 'Child' that Fei Li Say would go to worship every year, so that's not the Culprit.
The Problem to Consider now is that a Human has already died, if he runs over there again, leaving Traces on the Beach, he will Probably be treated as a Suspect.
And his appearance will Probably also make that 'Child' become a Suspect because of Time or other reasons.
But...
With Conan around, Matters will come to light sooner or later, being under Suspicion for a while doesn't seem to have much impact.
……
The Cemetery behind the Temple is near the Cliff, a lonely Light hung under the Eaves, shining with dim Lamplight, swaying in the Sea Breeze.
A Man with dark Skin and a tall and strong build sat in front of a Tombstone, listening to the sound of Sea Waves crashing at the foot of the Cliff, Whispering to the Tombstone.
“Tonight, it's just Myself coming..."
“This year has been pretty good, still the same Old Man Place..."
“Arakami uses Ships to pull Nets, catching all the Fish near the Coast, we are Coast Patrolmen on the Beach, preventing people from drowning, and also cleaning up the Garbage left by tourists..."
“We decided to talk to that Fellow Arakami, those two went ahead, I came to have a chat with you, and will go to find them later..."
A Seagull skimmed across the sky, calling softly.
In front of the tomb, a circle of Incense burned more than halfway, wisps of White Smoke rose up and were scattered by the Wind.
The Man smiled, looked up at the Pitch Black Night Sky, "You used to nag me, Old Man, about being verbose, telling me to abide by Nature's Rules, not to be greedy, but, the greedy Fellows are still living a prosperous life, while you are gone, you were the most powerful Fisherman back then..."
He suddenly remembered that half a year before his Father had the Accident, he was again nagging him about the so-called Rules.
‘Old Dad... you always catch the most Fish, if people Knowledge that you are always nagging about not being greedy, you will be seen as hypocritical!'
‘Idiot! What relation does this have with how much you harvest? What I'm Saying is, when you catch Small Fish, remember to release them back into the Sea, This Is the Rule! Animals with Spirituality cannot be Damaged, Afterwards don't catch Whales, This Is my Rule!'
His Father patted him on the back with a laugh at that time, actually making his back hurt from the pat, said proudly, 'Shinji, your Old Dad is so powerful, Just because I am a person who received Nature's Gift!'
“Narcissistic Old Man boss, if you really received Nature's Gift, how could you have been lost at sea..." Nezu Shinji watched the Incense circle that was about to burn to the End, sighed, Get Up patted his Clothes, and when he was about to leave, the corner of his eye suddenly caught a Black Shadow in the Rear, startled, he quickly Turned AroundLooked Go To.
Behind him, a Monster person stood at some unknown time.
The Monster person was tall and large, wearing a Cloak that was Black on the back and White in the front, wearing a Hood, the Mask under the Hood was also Black, and there were two White spots on the cheeks of the Face.
Nezu Shinji was so frightened that he let out a low growl, closed his eyes, and threw an Old Man fist.
“Pa!”
The Fist was easily Grabbed.
“I'm bringing back your Father's Remains." Chi Feichei changed to a gentle Male voice and stated his purpose.
Pretending to be a Ghost monster has Risks.
If you encounter this kind of person who directly attacks when frightened, if you are not skilled, you really can't handle it.
Nezu Shinji was stunned for a moment, opened his eyes and sized up the Monster person in front of him, "My... my Father?"
“Come with me." Chi Feichei released the Hand that Grabbed Nezu Shinji's Fist, and Turned Around to the Cliff side.
Nezu Shinji was stunned for a moment, didn't hesitate much, and followed.
This Monster person's voice was very gentle, making people feel full of goodwill, he Decided to check.
Although his Father was buried in the Sea, he Don't Think he could find the Remains back, most of those buried in this Cemetery are Fishermen from this area, and there are also many cenotaphs, But...
He still couldn't help but hold a glimmer of Hope, this Monster person quietly appeared behind him, just like a Ghost monster, what if it's true?
He was confident in himself, running shouldn't be a Problem, this is also the Place where he grew up since he was a child, people in the Village all know him, why would he be afraid of a Monster person?
Chi Feichei walked to the Cliff edge, turned his head to look at the two bags beside him, still speaking in a gentle voice, and said, "The bag on the left contains your Father's Remains, and partial Remains of his two Companions, not all of which were recovered, the bag behind... This Is from my Small Li to you."
“Small, Small Li?" Nezu Shinji was a little confused.
"Ten years ago today, Small Li wanted to approach the Coast to see Humanity, and happened to encounter your Father returning from fishing," Chi Feichei turned to look at the Sea, "It was your Father who warned Small Li about the rising tide, and also drove Small Li away from the Coast, saving Small Li from being stranded on the Beach, for the next two years, whenever your Father went out to Sea, Small Li kept watch..."
Nezu Shinji was stunned in place.
Ten years ago?
He remembered that it was roughly from that time onwards, his Father could catch a lot of Fish every time he went out to Sea, and it was also around that time that he was called the most skilled Fisherman.
At that time, he would also go fishing with his own Father, but he had never seen any Small Li...
Don't Think, wait, he remembered a few times, his Father would Whisper to the shimmering Sea Surface.
'You're here again...'
'Aren't you leaving here to Play somewhere else...'
'Won't you meet me? Are you afraid of me? I didn't want to Damage you that night... but never mind, it's better for you to hide, then just obediently hide then...'
'The tide will rise tonight, don't get close to the Coast...'
At that time, he thought it was just a quirk developed by his Own Old Dad out of boredom.
It's terrifying to think about!
So what exactly is that 'Small Li'?
Chi Feichei continued in a gentle tone, "Eight years ago, on that stormy night, your Father and his Companion took a Ship out to Sea..."
Nezu Shinji came back to his senses, raised his eyes and stared at the Monster person Stationed on the Cliff side.
"Small Li encountered an Undercurrent in the Sea and couldn't get there in time, by the time she arrived, your Father was Already dead..." Chi Feichei paused, "She was very sad, and has always wanted to return your Father's Remains, and also to give you some Things she found on the Seabed, Hoping you can Life well, But she can't approach the Coast, and you haven't gone to Sea again, so she asked me to help deliver them today."
After all, This Is someone else's Old Dad's Matter, he felt it necessary to let Nezu Shinji know the whole story, and also Hope Nezu Shinji cherishes this Gift.
Orcas rarely proactively Attack Humans, he also hoped that a Legend of an Orca repaying kindness could spread, even if only one Fisherman insists on not hunting Orcas, that would be considered continuing this reciprocal kindness.
"Then what exactly is Small Li..." Nezu Shinji already had a vague Guess in his heart."
Rising tide near the Coast causes stranding, helping his Father catch Fish, the Monster person's Black and White Cloak and Mask...
Orca in the Sea!
Could this Monster person be... an Orca who has become a spirit?
"I Don't Hope she gets close to the Coast again." Chi Feichei ignored Nezu Shinji's probing and walked forward.
“Wait..."
Nezu Shinji watched as the other party directly stepped out of the Cliff edge, subconsciously stepped forward, Just because the Hand he extended quickly stopped in mid-air.
The other party didn't fall straight down, but flew out diagonally.
In the dim Night scene, the Cloak was blown by the Wind, the Black side hidden in the Black Night, only a strip of swaying White was visible, heading towards the distant Sea Surface.
Nezu Shinji was stunned for a moment, then regaining his senses, he quickly called out, "Did my Father really have an Accident when he went out to Sea back then?"
“No."
In the Black Night, the gentle Male voice's reply faintly echoed, quickly fading into the Night Breeze.
Nezu Shinji stood at the Cliff edge.
This Answer was not unexpected to him.
Eight years ago, a sudden Storm hit, his Father heard that Arakami had gone out to Sea and not returned, so he and his Companion took a Fishing Boat out to search.
Afterwards, Arakami returned, the Fishing Boat his Father was on was washed ashore by Sea Waves, the Ship's hull was damaged, but on the Ship that clearly hadn't sunk, there was no one...
It was that Fellow Arakami who Intentionally drove a Ship to ram the Ship his Father was on, knocking the Human into the Sea!
