# Chapter 1050: Two Superfan Uncles
Just after midnight that day, the time jumped to the end of December, and winter snow began to fall.
The next day, the snow stopped, but it was still deep winter. Three days later, the snow in the City Area had melted, but the Snow Mountains in the Hokkaido area were still covered in silver, with heavy snow falling.
On a snowy road in Yamagata Prefecture, a three-row passenger Bus Roof was driving up the Mountain against the Wind and Snow. Rhythmic Music came from inside the Car.
"Father, can you turn down the Sound over there a Bit?" Mouri Ran complained. "We can't even chat."
Mori Kogoro was holding his Notebook and didn't hear her at all. He was still mesmerized, Staring at Chizuru dancing with a fan inside, laughing loudly, "Miss Chizuru is just too cute~!"
Mouri Ran: "..."
Although she had also watched it several times in the past two days and felt amazed and unsatisfied every time she watched it, her Old Dad shouldn't be like this.
Chi Feichei sat in the third row, turning his Head to look at the Wind and Snow Outside the window, lost in thought.
Aside, Haibara Ai was browsing the Official Website of THK Company on her Mobile Phone.
These types of Websites belong to the Umbrella System, with Forums and Blogs similar to Blogs, provided for businesses and individuals to use.
There were too many discussion Posts on the THK Company Forum, so she preferred to look at the Messages below the Video posted on the Official Website.
Nichimuri TV Station couldn't replay the Video repeatedly. Given the appeal of that Video, many people in the Crowd who had seen it On Television would find the Website and watch it repeatedly.
For Example, the Uncle in front of her had watched it at least twenty or thirty times in the past few days.
The Appellation 'Miss' that Brother Hichiji came up with also became Popular. Some people who previously didn't like to follow the Official Website went back to look at the content Odagiri Toshiya had posted using the Company Account Before, causing the click-through rate and follower count of the THK Company Official Website to surge uncontrollably.
Between the Seats in the middle row, Mouri Ran saw that she couldn't persuade Mori Kogoro, so she also browsed the Website on her Mobile Phone, but she was looking at the Forum and saw a Post whose Popularity was skyrocketing.
《H's Identity is H of THK Company!》
Mouri Ran Turn Head to look at the two people in the Back Seat, "Brother Hichiji, Ai, there's a Post on the Forum that seems to be talking about H's Identity."
"Let me Check." Haibara Ai frowned and Lowered her Head to press her Mobile Phone.
She knew Chi Feichei didn't want to be disturbed and supported his Idea.
If Chi Feichei's Identity were exposed, it would be very Troublesome to wear a Hat or Sunglasses to cover his Face when going Out with them in the future.
Mouri Ran looked at the content of the Post and read, "It says... Everyone must be very Curious about H's Identity after seeing a string of 'H's in the Behind the Scenes footage again, right? On the Official Website of the Entertainment Company, there is an Employee List in the upper right Corner. After clicking on the Name of a certain Artist or Employee, you can go to that person's Blog. People who follow the Official Website should know this. In these three days, Miss Chizuru's Blog follower count has already ranked among the top five in THK Company..."
Conan leaned next to Mouri Ran and peered at the Phone Screen, "Because of this, I also thought..."
"...Because of this, I also wanted to search for 'H''s Blog, but there is no Name 'H' in the Employee List. Although 'H' is clearly not a Real Name, as an Entertainment Company, even if it's not a Real Name, THK would add that person's Blog Link to the Employee List. For Example, the Makeup Artist 'Little Bear' who does Makeup for Miss Cang Mu, you can also find her in the List! But 'H' is completely missing. And in the naming of THK Entertainment Company, T should refer to the First Letter T at the beginning of 'Toshiya' in Odagiri Toshiya's Name, and K is the handsome Shareholder Mr. Kikuto Morizono, the First Letter of 'Kikuto' is K. Many Artists know that THK Company was founded by Three Good Friends, so the 'H' in 'THK' should be the remaining person, and the 'H' we are Curious about is very likely that person! In this way, it can also explain why 'H' is not in the Employee List, Because 'H' is not an Employee..."
"...But one of the founders of THK Company and a Shareholder of THK Company..." Haibara Ai took over and finished reading, looking at Chi Feichei, "That's the content."
Chi Feichei looked Outside the window, his Expression still Calm, "Both Toshiya and Kikuto are on the Employee List and have their own Blogs. Saying that 'H is not on the List Because he is a Shareholder' doesn't make sense."
Mouri Ran scrolled through the Reviews below, "Indeed, some people agree, and some people disagree. Although the Ratio of people who agree is relatively large, there are also many who disagree."
"This time, more people are interested in H than in Miss Chizuru. Miss Cang Mu's Fans have been Curious about H's Identity for a long Time," Haibara Ai asked Chi Feichei in a low Voice, "Aren't you worried that someone will Leak it?"
Chi Feichei shook his Head, "It's fine. Even if someone posts to expose it, someone will Handle it."
It doesn't Matter if they Analyze that 'H is the H in THK', and it doesn't Matter if they know his surname is Chi, as long as they don't post his Home Address, Identity Background, Appearance Features, Photos, and other Information, there's no need to Control it.
But if someone reveals his Personal Information, Ark and Noah will screen it out immediately and Entrust it To the Relevant Departments for Handling.
Even an Ordinary Person, upon seeing their Personal Information leaked, can report it to the Forum Management and Request deletion, let alone him.
Don't forget whose Home Umbrella is.
Ordinary Person reports it, they need to wait for Handling, and during this Time, it's very likely that the Information has already spread. However, he doesn't need to Worry about these things. His Family's Personal Information is constantly monitored by Ark, and upon Discovery, they will immediately restrict its publication.
Even if The Other Party doesn't use the Umbrella Website but uses other Websites or Paper Reports to Leak his Personal Information, they can still contact those Websites and Reports for Handling. Many Websites will give Umbrella Face or give Money Face.
The Music in the Car Abruptly Stop. Mori Kogoro frantically patted the Computer Keyboard, "Ah... wait, wait!"
"Father," Mouri Ran grabbed Mori Kogoro, Speechless, "Brother Hichiji lent you the Notebook, don't break it!"
Conan leaned forward and looked at the black-screened Notebook. He Reached Out and tried pressing the Power Button, finding that the Screen lit up and then automatically Turn Off Phone, "It seems like it's out of power."
"Seriously, I wanted to watch it two more times." Mori Kogoro regretfully closed the Notebook and Turned Around to Hand it Over To Chi Feichei in the back row, "Thank You, Hassashi, for the Trouble of lending me the Notebook."
"You're welcome." Chi Feichei took the Notebook and put it in his Backpack.
"You should also Rest a Bit, Father," Mouri Ran glanced at Mori Kogoro. "Even the best Melody should be enjoyed in moderation. I originally liked this Melody very much, but you've been playing it repeatedly these past few days, and I'm almost starting to dislike it."
"That's Because you haven't watched it with the Video," Mori Kogoro clenched his Fist and swung it upwards, Smiling like a Superfan, "Miss Chizuru's dancing is so cute, you can never get tired of watching it!"
"I think so too," the Hotel Owner driving the Car said Smilingly, "Recently, the Guests at the Hotel have also been playing it over and over again. It's better when you watch the Video..."
As he spoke, the Hotel Owner raised his Right Hand, which was clenched into a Fist, "Miss Chizuru is so cute!"
Mori Kogoro: "Miss Chizuru is the best!"
Hotel Owner: "Miss Chizuru's dancing is the most beautiful to watch!"
Mori Kogoro: "Chizuru..."
Conan looked at the Behavior of these Two Superfan Uncles shouting Slogans, Black Lines on Forehead. He Suddenly noticed that the Car had deviated from the Street, his Face changed drastically, and he quickly shouted, "Careful!"
The Hotel Owner came back to his senses and quickly turned the Steering Wheel, driving the Car back onto the Main Road.
Due To the slippery road after the Snow, the Rear of the bus swung out in an 'S' shape. The Three People in front, Conan, Mouri Ran, and Mori Kogoro, tilted to the Right and squeezed together for a while, then tilted to the Left.
Haibara Ai held Chi Feichei's Arm and sat relatively steadily, looking at the front Seat with Sympathy.
Poor Edogawa, won't he be flattened...
After the Hotel Owner stabilized the Car, he broke out in a sweat, "S-Sorry."
"It's okay," Mori Kogoro sat up straight, adjusted his Collar, and said, sweating, "You should just focus on driving properly..."
Mouri Ran sat up straight and found that she had been squeezed against the Car Door, so she quickly moved Aside, "Conan, are you okay?"
Conan Reached Out to adjust his Glasses. After sitting up straight, he still had to Turn Head and show Mouri Ran a Smile, "I'm fine."
Mouri Ran breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good."
"Oh no..." The Hotel Owner finally started to seriously watch the road while driving, not turning his Head at all. "Younger Brother, can you help me Check if the Cake placed on the Passenger Seat has fallen?"
Conan leaned forward and found that the Cake Box had been shaken to the side of the Car Door. He strained to Reach Out and pulled the Cake Box to the middle of the Seat, "It didn't fall down, and it didn't tip over, but it slid to one side. I've already pulled the Box to the middle of the Seat."
The Hotel Owner breathed a sigh of relief, "Thank You very much."
"Boss, may I Ask if this is the Dessert for tonight?" Conan asked.
"Sorry," the Hotel Owner said Smilingly, "This was entrusted to me by a Guest to buy for her. This Guest particularly likes Dessert, and I heard she's also a very famous Writer."
Mouri Ran laughed, "Conan, are you really craving Cake?"
"No way," Conan scratched his Head and Smiled.
...
The Car drove over a Bridge and stopped at the Entrance of Kotoya Inn.
Heavy Snow filled the Sky. An Awning was set up in front of the Japanese-Style Building's Entrance. A slightly Fat Landlady and two other Female Receptionists wearing Kimonos stood at the Entrance, their Hands clasped in front of them.
After the Car stopped and A Group of People got off, the Landlady, along with the other two Female Receptionists, bowed neatly.
"Welcome, we have been waiting for everyone here for a Long Time," the Landlady said Smilingly, turning to lead the way. "It must be very Cold Outside, right? Please come in quickly!"
The Corridor of the Japanese-Style Building Hotel was very wide. A row of Wooden Frames was placed in front of the Wall, hanging colorful Long-sleeved Kimonos one by one.
Mouri Ran followed them inside, turning her Head to look at the Kimonos on both sides, "They're so beautiful."
Chi Feichei saw that Haibara Ai was also looking and said softly, "I brought your Kimono, the white and blue one."
Haibara Ai Be Stunned and looked towards Mouri Ran in front.
If only she wore it, would Young lady feel disappointed...
"Really?" Mouri Ran Turned Around to look at Haibara Ai, Expectation in her Eyes, "Only seen Ai wear the Red one, but white and blue should also be cute. Ai, change into it when we go Out to Play later, I can help you put it on!"
Haibara Ai: "..."
Okay, she was overthinking.
She, a Doll without Emotion, provides Joy for everyone's Dress-up Game.
The Corridor led to the Courtyard. Turning the Corner, the Right Hand side was a Japanese-style Wall Building, and the Left Hand side was the Courtyard with Snow falling, creating a strong 'Wealthy Family Estate' Atmosphere.
Mori Kogoro walked, carrying his Travel Bag in his Right Hand, and raised his Left Hand to support the back of his Neck, rotating his Head to stretch his Neck, "My Shoulder has been really Soreness recently."
Chi Feichei raised his Eyes and Looked. The part his Teacher felt Soreness in should be his Neck...
That means he's been Anesthetic Needle Shot by Conan too many times.
