Chapter 1031: Is This Something a Human Can Do?
The two returned to the Mori Detective Agency, it was just past ten in the evening.
Mouri Ran had just changed into her pajamas and was standing at the Washroom entrance waiting for Conan to finish washing up. She was a little surprised to see Mori Kogoro and Hissashi enter, "Father, you're back? So early today?"
In the Washroom, Conan curiously poked his head out.
Although Uncle Mori had said beforehand that he had something to do tonight and would ask Chi Feichei to go with him, and repeatedly promised not to drink too much, it was still strange that he really didn't drink too much.
When did Uncle become so restrained?
"Yeah." Mori Kogoro was listless, taking off his coat after entering and draping it on the cabinet by the Entrance.
"I say..." Mouri Ran stared at a light red mark on the sleeve of Mori Kogoro's shirt, hands on her hips, her gaze gradually becoming dangerous. She suspected it was a Lipstick Mark, "Father, you didn't take Brother Hichiji to some shady shop for drinks again, did you?"
Conan chuckled dryly in his heart.
Right, Uncle has a Criminal Record. He's never seen a Teacher like this, only taking his Disciple Kuroki Jiro to drink and visit Adult Entertainment Shop. Will he have to add playing Mahjong, Horse Racing, and Pachinko in the future?
"No, it was very proper."
Chi Feichei helped Mori Kogoro make a Statement.
With a business license, it must be proper.
"Right, what are you thinking?" Mori Kogoro raised his hand to look at his sleeve, feigning composure to Cover-up, "We just went to see an Opera Performance, this must have accidentally rubbed on at some point."
(╥﹏╥)
That's right, they went to an Adult Entertainment Shop. Putting aside the hour he spent drinking and chatting, they really did watch an Opera Performance, which sobered him up and made him feel detached.
What kind of suffering is this in the Human World...
"Really?" Mouri Ran was dubious, sizing up Mori Kogoro, "You would go to see an Opera Performance?"
Mori Kogoro retorted unconvincingly, "Why can't I go to see Opera?"
"But Uncle doesn't seem very excited," Conan couldn't judge the Situation.
He also didn't believe Uncle would go to see Opera, but looking at Uncle like this, he didn't seem like he just came back from some shady shop. If he went to those shops... not to mention those shops, even if it was just an ordinary Izakaya, Uncle would have to be drunk to the point of being completely wasted before coming home.
Mori Kogoro became resentful in a second, "A tragedy like 'Madame Butterfly' where the protagonist commits Suicide in the end, how could I possibly be happy!"
Conan and Mouri Ran immediately believed it—Mori Kogoro really did go to see Opera.
"Then I'll go back," Chi Feichei said goodbye, "The Taxi is still waiting downstairs."
Mori Kogoro suddenly remembered something, "Hassashi, let me see you off..."
Mouri Ran watched the two turn back and go out, and couldn't help but laugh, "Brother Hassashi sees Father upstairs, and Father sees Brother Hassashi downstairs, these two are really something... but their Master and Disciple Affection is really good, isn't it, Conan?"
"Uh-huh!" Conan raised his head and smiled sweetly, Acting Cute to Mouri Ran.
Outside, Mori Kogoro, when he reached the Stairwell Entrance, approached Chi Feichei with a dark Face, and reminded him in a low voice, "When I take you to Okinawa, don't destroy the Atmosphere like tonight, otherwise I won't take you!"
Chi Feichei nodded expressionlessly to indicate that he understood, "Then next time listen to 'The Barber of Seville'."
Mori Kogoro: "..."
How should he explain to his own Disciple Kuroki Jiro that a Club really can't be used as an Opera House...
"It's a Comedy."
Chi Feichei added another Sentence, pulled open the Car Backseat Car Door, and got in the Car.
Mori Kogoro watched the Taxi leave, still in a state of disarray in the Wind.
Is this a question of tragedy or Comedy? No!
No matter how talented the Girl is, she's not a professional Opera Actor, she's just there to drink and chat, and he actually used a Tip to Temptation her to sing Opera for half a day. Is this something a Human can do?
A Group of People happily went to the Club to play, originally they should have teased and chatted with pretty Girls, drank some Liquor, and relaxed their Mood, but they made him listen to Opera for half a day. Next time they actually plan to listen to Opera again, so that when their Private Room Door is opened, what is heard outside is a passage of high-pitched Bel Canto Soprano. Is this something a Human can do?
...
At eleven o'clock at Night, the Taxi stopped In front of the Apartment.
Chi Feichei paid the Fare and got out of the Car. When he entered the Building, he By the Way took the Things from the Mailbox and Delivery Locker on the First Floor. After returning Home, he used the Sink to put Water for Heiji to take a Bath, and also put a Tub of Water for himself to take a Bath.
Tonight, when Mori Kogoro was chatting with the Girl, he Pay Attention To the content of the conversation. The two talked about the Cold Butterfly Society.
The Cold Butterfly Society is now very famous in the Nightclub Circle, and people who often go to Nightclubs also hang out in places like Horse Racing Track. It's not strange that Mori Kogoro has heard of it.
At that time, Mori Kogoro put his arm around the Girl, drank Liquor in big gulps, and said with a hearty laugh: 'Isn't that a Club composed of many Beauties? I even want to go and be their Detective Consultant. If they encounter Pervert or Harassment, I can Help them Solve it!'
As an old Uncle, while saying these Words, he also took advantage of the Girl, which looked very shady no matter how you looked at it.
The Girl didn't Care About it, and smiled and lightly patted Mori Kogoro's Chest, telling Mori Kogoro not to look down on Female, that united Female are very strong.
Mori Kogoro immediately asked with a Pervert Face where they were strong, and then the Topic slowly shifted, developing in the Direction of flirting and playful banter.
He still couldn't figure out whether Mori Kogoro brought it up unintentionally, or intentionally to Inquire about News. After All, Mori Kogoro was once a member of the Police and is now a Detective. Recently, the Matter of the Shuanghe Society has become so big. Based on Mori Kogoro's usual Style, he will definitely Call Inspector Megure to Understand the Situation. Inspector Megure is inconvenient to reveal too much Case Details, but it is Possible that he mentioned that the Violent Gangs that have had friction with the Shuanghe Society Recently are the Yamaguchi-gumi and the Cold Butterfly Society.
Mori Kogoro knows that the Suspect List of the Shuanghe Society Incident includes the Cold Butterfly Society, with a Probability of more than 90%. Then, Even If he didn't deliberately Help to Inquire about News, after knowing some News, he would Probably tell the Police or Investigate it himself.
And tonight, the Information Mori Kogoro obtained was—the Cold Butterfly Society is dominated by Female Members, the Chairman is called Lady Cold Butterfly, and was once the Daughter of a Large Organization Chairman. The Cold Butterfly Society was established This Year but has developed very Fast, and the Matters they usually Handle are a bit like the Women's Federation. This is public News that can be understood by chatting.
As For the News in the Dark Place, there is also...
First, it is not Easy for Men to join. If it was Easy for Men to join, that Girl would Joke and let him Try, instead of bypassing the Question that might make Guests embarrassed and saying that Female Group is also not weak.
Second, the Cold Butterfly Society has a good Reputation among Nightclub Women. The Girl chatting with Mori Kogoro was not a Member of the Cold Butterfly Society. The Reason for not joining was that her Parents at Home didn't like Violent Gangs and were Worried about being angry and sad after being Discovered by her Family. However, the Girl herself also yearned for and admired the Cold Butterfly Society when she mentioned it, saying that she was Actually also Considering joining.
It is not ruled out that this is a personal point of view, but it can also Indicate that the Cold Butterfly Society does not provoke Nightclub Women to be disgusted, and there is still a lot of Development Space.
Third, the Cold Butterfly Society is not a simple 'Female Rights Protection Women's Federation'. There are Likely 'Thug' Identity Female within it, or they have a very close Relationship with Large Organizations like the Yamaguchi-gumi. Because the Girl's Words revealed a piece of Information—when facing Harassment, the Cold Butterfly Society does not need Others to Help.
In Fact, there are Indeed 'Thugs' within the Cold Butterfly Society. The Members are not only Women in the Sex Industry and weak female Students, but also serious female Lawyers, female Kendo Masters, and female Shooting Enthusiasts.
It is Normal for a Violent Gang to have 'Military Force' Crowd inside, otherwise it would not be called a 'Violent Gang', but Understanding these can also Confirm the Nature of the Cold Butterfly Society—it is not a Female Group forming a caring and mutual aid Group, it is Different from the Women's Federation. Peeling away the Gentle Facade that is Easy to confuse people, its essence is still a Violent Gang.
Regardless of whether it was intentionally Inquire about News, his Teacher at Home really can contact a lot of Information on weekdays.
Racecourse, Game Arcade with Pachinko so there are many middle-aged Uncles, Izakaya, Bar Club...
"Master, I'm done washing," Hissashi's Sound came from Outside the Frosted Glass Door, "I'll Go To Help you Check the Letters and Things sent Recently~!"
Chi Feichei 'Uh-huh'ed, no longer thinking about Mori Kogoro's Matter, and turned to think about the Problem on himself.
Facing the Death of those people from the Shuanghe Society, there was no Touch in his Heart.
He had seen a lot of Death in his Previous Life. In addition to 'jumping Play', for those who were not familiar with him or had no Connection with him, he really couldn't generate any Sympathy.
For Example, the Victims of some Cases. At a certain moment, he Looked at the Corpse as if he was Looking at a Cardboard Cutout, and Looking at the busy Surrounding Area People as if he was Looking at frames of Lens from Detective Manga.
How could this make him feel anything?
He cannot know what date it is Tomorrow by himself. In his Memory, the Seasons of this World have rotated or even jumped around in confusion, but Time has not yet passed This Year or even half a year. In addition, he has a Weird Ability that Others do not have, and can predict the Development of Cases in Advance...
These Seemingly are all aggravating the Difficulty of him Integrate into the World, Just Like some existence has been Hinting to him: Look, they are all Cardboard Cutouts, you come from a higher Dimension than them, you possess Abilities they cannot imagine, you predict a Portion of their Fate, Life and Death are just Reincarnation, Everything in the World is Illusion...
This kind of Idea is very Dangerous.
He doesn't want to be able to say 'Dust to dust, earth to earth' with a calm Heart when facing the Life and Death of his Relatives one day.
Fortunately, the Situation is not particularly bad.
Feeling that his Thought is 'jumping Play' Indicates that he is sometimes already 'in Play'.
With Contact, the People around him are becoming more and more Vivid. He Seemingly has separated these People from the rest of Humanity in this World and listed them in the Category of 'Fellow Birds'.
Animals are a little better, because in his Previous Life he was 'Human', and Animals were 'Animals'. He himself is Different from Animals and does not Understand them enough, so Animals in this World and Animals in other Worlds, apart from the positive Buffs of 'being able to Communicate' and 'being more Kind', Seemingly there is no Difference in his Eyes, and 'jumping Play' happens rarely...
However, the Problem has come again.
Even when facing Acquaintance, he will occasionally 'jump Play'.
For Example, he thought about blocking Conan in a Small Corner, and firing a few Gunshots at Conan, opening a few Holes in Conan's body, to see what a dead Famous Detective looks like.
This kind of Mentality must not be Discovered by Zhi Ming Fukuyama, nor by anyone who might be nosy. Otherwise, he is Likely to be sent to the Hospital for Inspect, and then be admitted for Treatment, be Monitored by a Small Window, sleep in an empty Room, and Take Medicine Day after Day...
This is as difficult to 'cure' as Auditory Hallucination Plant and Animal Words and not being able to figure out Time. It is Likely to be treated for a Lifetime, which is simply a Nightmare.
Therefore, he must hide himself well, Just Like Belmode when she was still impersonating Shinde Tomoaki. Before the Bus was hijacked by Thugs and Exploded, he first Leave the unconscious Thugs off the Bus, No Matter whether he Cares About that person being Exploded to Death or not, if there is an Opportunity, he will take the Opportunity to Cover-up a A Bit.
