Chapter 1041

Chapter 1051: A Little Bit Scary

"Our hot spring here is very effective for treating illnesses like shoulder soreness," the Landlady said, leading the way towards the Lobby at the End of the Corridor, Smilingly introducing, "The Social Hall is up ahead."

Mouri Ran saw the A Group of People sitting in the Lobby ahead, her Eyes lighting up. "Oh? Isn't that Miss Eri Akachi, the one who Specially writes Romance Novels?"

The Japanese Pronunciation of 'Eri' and 'Eri' is the Same.

Mori Kogoro froze upon hearing this. The Travel Bag in his Right Hand dropped, hitting his Foot. The Next Second, he was grimacing in pain, hopping On the Original Place while holding his Foot. "It hurts! It hurts!"

Ran was helpless. "Father..."

In the Social Hall, A Group of People were gathered around the Coffee Table, sitting on the Sofa and drinking Tea.

Hearing the Movement Mori Kogoro was making, the Middle-aged Man in a deep Gray Suit sitting in the main Seat looked up. The four Female on the Sofas to his left and right Turned Head, and even the Young Woman Standing beside the Middle-aged Man stopped admiring the Snow and Turned Head to Look Towards them.

Silence.

"Ah," the Middle-Aged Woman wearing Glasses exclaimed softly, looking at Mori Kogoro. "Are you...?"

The Middle-aged Man in the main Seat put down his Teacup and Got Up.

On the Right Side Sofa, the Woman with Black Hair and the Woman with Brown Wavy Hair also Got Up almost Simultaneously.

The Middle-Aged Woman and the other two Women Be Stunned.

This Stance of standing up in unison...

Isn't it A Bit too exaggerated?

"Mr. Ike?" Tokyoichi Bando Step Forward quickly, Reaching Out his Hand to Chi Feichei in surprise. "Unexpectedly, I would See you here!"

Chi Feichei Reached Out his Hand to shake hands with Tokyoichi Bando. After withdrawing his Hand, he turned his Head and introduced to Mori Kogoro, who had a Look of Doubt, "Teacher, This Is Mr. Tokyoichi Bando, a Producer from Nichimuri TV Station. I've met him twice at THK Company. Mr. Bando, This Is my Teacher, Famous Detective Mori Kogoro."

"So it's the famous Famous Detective Mori Kogoro," Tokyoichi Bando offered his Business Card to Mori Kogoro with both Hands. "I've long heard of your great reputation!"

"Hahaha, not at all, not at all," Mori Kogoro laughed heartily as he Received the Business Card, then Turned Head to Look Towards his side. "Ah, By the Way, This Is my Daughter, Ran..."

"Hello." Mouri Ran bowed to Greet.

Chi Feichei Looked Towards Haibara Ai. "This Is my younger sister, Ai."

"Hello." Haibara Ai Followed suit and Greeted.

Mori Kogoro Looked Towards Conan. "As For This one, he's a lodger..."

Conan: "..."

"This Is Conan!" Mouri Ran One Step Ahead, bending down and stroking Conan's Top of Head as she introduced him.

"Hello, Uncle." Conan looked up and Greeted obediently.

"Oh my, how could we let everyone Stand and Talk..." Tokyoichi Bando Turned Head to Look Towards the Sofa.

The two Women on the Right Side Sofa had made space, and the two Women on the Left Side Sofa had Already stood up, but there was only one main Seat, so...

Chi Feichei Reached Out his Hand and Received Mori Kogoro's Travel Bag. "Teacher, you Chat. I'll take the Things to the Room."

"Me too!" Mouri Ran felt Sorry to let Chi Feichei take the Luggage Return to Room alone. She Looked Towards Tokyoichi Bando. "Sorry, we'll take our leave for A Bit."

"Not at all, I'm the one who disturbed everyone," Tokyoichi Bando Understood Once Seeing. He warmly welcomed Mori Kogoro to the Table Front. "Come, Mr. Mouri, please sit..."

Mori Kogoro didn't stand on Ceremony and sat down in the main Seat. "Were you discussing something Before?"

"That's right," Tokyoichi Bando Said. "Our TV Station and University Hall Publishing are planning to collaborate and invite Miss Eri Akachi to write the New Drama we plan to launch Next Year Spring. We are currently in Discussion."

Going to the Room required passing through the Social Hall and turning Right. Chi Feichei and Mouri Ran went with the Luggage, and Conan and Haibara Ai also Followed Behind.

"Hello, Mr. Mouri, I am Raiko Honda from University Hall Publishing," the Middle-Aged Woman handed a Business Card to Mori Kogoro, then Looked Towards the three Women opposite, two sitting and one Standing, and Smiled. "This Play is a Story about three Young Female who are starting to make a name for themselves in various Domain. So, we plan to use the most active Female in various aspects as the Blueprint for this Play."

Tokyoichi Bando took over the Words. "This Time, we have Specially invited three Graduate from Ms. Raiko's alma mater, Odo University, to discuss together. This Is Miss Asuka Shibasaki, a Fashion Model who is very active in Paris and New York..."

"Mr. Mouri, please give me more guidance."

"Hello, you are truly beautiful!"

"This Is Miss Ema Anzai, an Oil Painter who won an Award at the Touto Art Exhibition."

"Please give me more guidance."

"Oh... you are really cute!"

"As For This one, she is Miss Harumi Fukatsu, a Singer-Songwriter who is Already quite famous in the Music Industry..."

After Chi Feichei and the other three turned the Corner of the Corridor, the Conversation from the Social Hall There was no longer very clear.

Haibara Ai withdrew her Line of Sight from Looking Back. "Brother Feichi, do you know Miss Asuka Shibasaki and Miss Ema Anzai?"

Mouri Ran and Conan Looked Towards Chi Feichei curiously.

Just Now when Tokyoichi Bando Got Up, those two also stood up Simultaneously, Looking Towards Chi Feichei, Probably Because they recognized Chi Feichei.

Chi Feichei carried the Luggage with a Calm Face and went towards the Room. "Perhaps I've seen them Sometime, I don't Remember."

Mouri Ran was A Bit Stunned. "You... you don't Remember?"

Conan had Half-Moon Eyes. They were two quite pretty Girls, and he didn't Remember them?

"Perhaps he saw them at a Banquet," Haibara Ai said, not finding it Weird. "Sometimes the Light in the Banquet Hall is dim, and the Guests are dressed more formally than usual, and Female also Makeup when attending. Sometimes there are many People you need to Greet or Respond to. If you've only met them once or twice and haven't had a deep Conversation, it's Normal not to recognize them Immediately when you See them Again. As For them being able to recognize Brother Feichi, it's Because Brother Feichi's Pupil Color is relatively rare."

Mouri Ran Understood. "I See."

"Then their Family Fortune should be quite Good," Conan Said. "Brother Chi doesn't really like attending Banquets, unless it's inconvenient to refuse or the host's Status is unusual, right? The Guests invited by such People should also have simple Backgrounds."

Haibara Ai added, "But they wouldn't be the Young Misses of those Large Corporations or a certain Financial Group. Their Families also don't have a Partnership with Brother Feichi's Family. They are the type of People who are relatively unfamiliar."

Chi Feichei: "..."

Don't bother. No matter how much you Analyze, he can't Remember.

Those should be People with no Benefit connection, and this Time should be the Plot of the Long-sleeved Kimono Case. It seems that two of the three outstanding Female died...

"By the Way, what about Miss Harumi Fukatsu?" Mouri Ran Looked Towards Chi Feichei with Expectation. "Brother Feichi, you Should know her, right? The Song she wrote herself is very nice to listen to, I like it very much!"

Chi Feichei thought back A Bit. "I've heard of her, but haven't seen her."

The Landlady didn't Speak Out to disturb the four People's Conversation. When they reached a Room Door, she pulled open the Room Door and then Spoke Out. "This Is the Room you booked."

This Time, Mori Kogoro booked a large Suite, with a Living Room and two Rooms.

There were Wooden Table and Chairs in the Living Room, and bright Long-sleeved Kimono and Belts were also hanging on the Wooden Frame in Front of the Wall.

"Wow, there are also Long-sleeved Kimono here," Mouri Ran asked after entering the Door and Turning Head. "Landlady, your Hotel is full of Long-sleeved Kimono and Belts hanging everywhere, is there some story behind it?"

"Because every household in this Vicinity worships the Kimono Sleeve Deity," the Landlady's Attitude was Still gentle. She put down the Thermos and sat down at the Table Front to make Tea for them. "Every Family has such decorations. It's very common here."

"Ran, Ai, which Room do you want?" Chi Feichei asked.

"The one inside, with Brother Feichi, Conan, and Father in the Room near the Courtyard. I'll feel a Sense of security in the Room inside," Mouri Ran asked Haibara Ai. "What do you Think, Ai?"

"I'm Okay with anything." Haibara Ai Said indifferently.

Chi Feichei took Conan to the other Room. After putting down the Luggage, he Found his Laptop and plugged it in to charge.

When Mouri Ran was putting away her Luggage, she was still Chatting with the Landlady. "Can I wear a Kimono here? Are there any Taboo? I want to let This Child wear a Kimono and take her Outside for a walk later."

"Feel free to wear it," the Landlady Smiled. "There are no Taboo."

Chi Feichei Found a Sealed Plastic Bag from his Luggage Bag, took it to the Next Room, and placed it on the Floor, expressing his Support for Mouri Ran with Action.

"Is it this set?" Mouri Ran picked up the Bag, Looking Towards Haibara Ai with Expectation and Smilingly. "Ai, I'll Help you change~"

Haibara Ai: "..."

Suddenly felt that Sister Ran's Smiling Face was A Little Bit Scary...

"Brother Feichi, wait..." Haibara Ai called out to Chi Feichei. Seeing Chi Feichei Turn Head, she struggled in her Inner Self for A Bit, but still gritted her Teeth and pretended to be a Little Girl acting shy and awkward. "It's different here from Kyoto. There aren't many People who don't wear Kimono here. It would be very Weird if I went out shopping alone wearing one..."

"Understood."

Chi Feichei Went Out and By the Way helped pull the Room Door shut.

Haibara Ai: "..."

He Said he Understood, but he still used Action to indicate that he wanted her to wear a Kimono, right?

She even acted spoiled for once, and he still didn't give her any Face... Heartless!

Mouri Ran knelt in front of Haibara Ai, holding the Bag, Smiled. "Ai~"

Haibara Ai: "..."

Conan in the Next Door heard Haibara Ai not saying a Word There and couldn't help but snicker, imagining how dark Haibara Ai's Face must be.

He felt Sympathy for Haibara.

Chi Feichei returned to the Room, Found his own set of Kimono, and went to the Washroom to change Clothes.

It would be very Weird to go shopping alone wearing a Kimono? Then two People would go. Anyway, it was impossible for Haibara Ai to get out of it by acting cute.

Five minutes Afterwards, the Landlady left the Room.

Conan sat in the Living Room drinking Tea, By the Way waiting for the others to change Clothes.

Ten minutes Afterwards, Chi Feichei came out of the Washroom.

Conan looked up and froze instantly. It seemed as if a wave of coolness shot up his Back to the Top of his Head.

Men's Kimono would not be Pure White; that was worn by Men in ancient times when performing seppuku. The Kimono Chi Feichei was wearing was naturally not Pure White.

Although white accounted for a large Part, the Juban under the Kimono revealed a layer of Blue-Purple Collar with a grayish Tone, a Belt of the Same Color, and a Pattern of the Same Color embroidered under the Kimono Collar. Because he was wearing a Haori Jacket over it, he could roughly distinguish that it was a Tsuru with spread wings, only a small section of the Tsuru's wings visible, blocked by the Haori Jacket.

And although the Haori Jacket was also mostly white, there were Blue-Purple Petal Patterns on the Shoulder, with layers of Cherry Blossom extending from the Shoulder to halfway down the Sleeve.

The overall Color of the Clothes was concentrated on the upper Part. Below the elbow of the Sleeve and below the Waist of the torso were white. This Color Tone of Men's Kimono is rare, and not common even in Women's Kimono. The designer's original Intention should have been 'fresh, diverse', for Young Man to try.

Wearing it on Chi Feichei, there was not a trace of freshness, diversity, or youthful Vitality. Looking at Chi Feichei walking Come Over, he Actually felt that the Person in front of him had no Temperature at all.

It wasn't the lifelessness of a Corpse, nor the twilight and decay of an Old Man, nor the gloominess of the Ghost in a White T-shirt at Dusk in the Old Apartment that Day.

The Clothes were grand and noble in white, the Person's demeanor was steady and Casual, yet indifferent and Cold, ancient and distant, with too strong a Sense of distance, a Sense of distance so strong that it was Just Like...

Non-Humanity!

Why exactly?

What was going on with that 'very scary' Feeling?
