Chapter 1098: Trouble Follows You!
The next day, two in the afternoon.
Mori Detective Agency.
Mori Kogoro sat at his desk, snoring as he slept leaning back in his chair.
Conan sat bored on the Sofa, listening to the ticking sound of the Clock's second hand, and gave a Yawn.
The Television wasn't interesting, Ran wasn't Home, the Junior Detective League had no activities, the Doctor had taken Ai to the university to visit a friend, and he had finished reading the Mystery Novel he bought...
On such a boring day, he pondered whether or not he should Go Out and kick a ball for a while, or simply go to sleep for A Bit.
If that didn't work, even playing a game with Feichi would be better than staying here doing nothing.
This Quiet and Boring Afternoon Suddenly made him recall the recording he heard during the Red Horse Incident. That fortune teller Actually put an eavesdropping device inside the Crystal Ball and even gave the Crystal Ball to Chi Feichei. As a result, after listening to the eavesdropping content, he was Scared to the point of almost going Crazy.
That fellow Chi Feichei was also quite Weird. He could stay Otaku at Home alone for several days, staying Otaku without making a Sound. Inside the Room, there was only the Sound of the Door opening, the Door closing, Boiled Water turning on, Boiled Water turning off, and cooking every Day. He didn't even watch Television. If it were him, a Normal Person, he Definitely wouldn't be able to stand it.
Speaking of which, he hadn't seen Chi Feichei Recently. A few days ago, Ran's invitation for Chi Feichei to go to Kagoshima to play was also refused. Could that fellow be in a Bad Mood because of Haga Kyosuke's Matters and be acting like an autistic Patient at Home again?
"Ran isn't here?"
Conan was Yawning when Suddenly, a familiar male Voice with a Calm Tone came from Beside him, Scared him into falling forward.
━Σ(Д|||)━
He was Just muttering in his Heart A Bit!
Chi Feichei quickly grabbed the Collar of Conan's Coat, put Conan back on the Sofa, and Went To sit Beside him.
Conan Reach Out and pulled Chi Feichei's Sleeve, confirming that the person in front of him was Indeed a living Human, not a Hallucination caused by his sleepiness. With Half-Moon Eyes, he Said, "Hey, where did you pop out from? Do you know how Scared that is?"
"The Door wasn't closed, so I came in." Chi Feichei responded with a Calm Face.
Seeing that Chi Feichei didn't show any Sorry, Conan felt a sense of powerlessness in his Heart. "Sister Ran isn't here. She's participating in the Kanto Karate Grand Competition in a few days, and she'll be at the Karate Club for Intensive Training on recent rest days... I'm telling you, next Time you come in, can you knock on the Door A Bit? Or make some Sound when you walk?"
Chi Feichei Look Towards Mori Kogoro, who was still snoring loudly. "Teacher is asleep, I didn't want to disturb him."
Conan continued to Stare at Chi Feichei with Half-Moon Eyes. "Why did you Suddenly Come Over to the Office?"
Is it really okay to Scare him like that Just to avoid disturbing the Uncle's sleep?
Actually, he also wanted to Ask if Chi Feichei had been in a Bad Mood these two days because of Haga Kyosuke's Matters and had gone into isolation. If necessary, he could Help Chi Feichei A Bit, But that fellow Chi Feichei was really annoying.
Chi Feichei took out the boarding pass that came with the invitation letter from his coat pocket and put it on the Table. "I'm here to give you Free Invitation Tickets for Tourism. Before I came, I contacted the Doctor and Ai, but they weren't Home. I put their shares, as well as Genta's, Ayumi's, and Mitsuhiko's, in the Doctor's House mailbox."
Conan was curious, picked up the Free Invitation Ticket, and Looked at it. "Aphrodite... maiden voyage? Did the Shinchi Group build a new cruise ship?"
"It's the Yashiro Conglomerate," Chi Feichei took out a cigarette and lit it. "The relationship with the Chi Family isn't great, But I Also don't want to see them being arrogant."
Conan gave a dry laugh, Understood. Colleagues are rivals. No wonder Chi Feichei Said 'Free Invitation Ticket for Tourism'. It meant not going would show weakness, and if he went, he might as well bring everyone along to enjoy the free food, drinks, and fun. "You don't want to go there to argue, do you?"
Chi Feichei held the cigarette in his mouth, put the lighter back in his pocket, Turn Head and Looked at Conan with an Indifference Face. "Do you Think I would argue with them?"
He Just wanted the Death God Elementary School Student to send Entaro Yashiro and his daughter away from this World.
Conan with Bean Eyes, "No way..."
From Getting Along with him, Even If someone Said something unpleasant, his little partner wouldn't argue with them. They would either Ignore it or Repel the person in a few Words. Just having a Cold Face was Scared enough.
Chi Feichei picked up the Newspaper placed on the Coffee Table and flipped through it.
This was the morning Newspaper.
On the Entertainment Page Space, Reports about THK Company and the Company's Artists took up more than half.
Currently, the Popularity of 《Geisha》 was still rising Overseas. Chizuru's Worth was increasing, coupled with high-traffic Artists like Yoko Okino and Kuraki Mai, it was not Weird for them to dominate the Page Space.
The International Page Space was the Same as the Entertainment Page Space, not much, and there was no news he was concerned about, like the Alcohol Restriction Order.
There was much more Other News: Criminal Cases, Political Developments, Business Developments...
Conan had no interest in looking at the Newspaper he had already Looked at in the morning again. "Didn't Feichi Come Over?"
Feichi slowly poked his Head out from Chi Feichei's Left Hand Sleeve, flicked his Snake Tongue A Bit, and then slowly retracted back.
Conan: "..."
He Actually Understood Feichi's Intention - feeling sleepy, wanting to sleep.
But if Feichi didn't want to play Games, he would be even more Boring.
The Clock's hands ticked, Chi Feichei pressed out the Cigarette that had burned to the End, and continued to read the Newspaper.
Conan Went To the Water Bar to pour Chi Feichei a Cup of Water, poured himself a cup Also, drank Water, spaced out, and Yawned.
The Warm Weather made people sleepy, and there weren't any Incidents...
"Screech—"
Suddenly, a harsh Braking Sound came from Outside, followed immediately by an Impact Sound.
Mori Kogoro, who was sleeping behind the desk, was Directly Scared awake. He frantically Turn Head to Look Outside the window. "What's Wrong?! What happened?"
Conan Get Up and ran to the Windowside, pulled open the Window with a 'whoosh', jumped up and propped himself on the Window Sill with his elbows, and poked his Head out to Look Outside.
Chi Feichei Also put down the Newspaper and Went To the Windowside.
On the Street Outside the Office, a Human wearing a cycling suit and helmet was lying in Front of the Car. The Motorcycle had flown far away. The onlookers gathered, shouting in panic.
"Ambulance! Call an Ambulance quickly!"
"And Report to Police!"
"It looks like there was a Car Accident..." Mori Kogoro Turn Around and ran Outside with a Serious Face. "I'll go down and Check if anyone needs Help!"
Conan Looked at Chi Feichei with a Complex Gaze, Turn Around and followed.
No wonder there haven't been any special Murder Cases or Robberies in Beihu Town Recently. Is Chi Feichei saving up his Death God Skill cooldown to bring Disaster to their Beika Town?
The Street in front of the Mori Detective Agency is usually very Quiet, and there had never been a Car Accident before. He and the Uncle had stayed there all morning without anything happening, But not long after Chi Feichei arrived, a Car Accident occurred Outside the Office.
As For the Incidents he encountered Before...
Those were Cases Summoning him, which is different from This Is. Anyway, that fellow Chi Feichei is definitely a Plague God!
"Master, What's Wrong?" Feichi asked lazily.
"Car Accident."
Chi Feichei followed him Go Out, By the Way, helped close the Door properly, and Pondered the not-quite-right Gaze Conan gave him Before leaving.
Seemingly saying—'Trouble Follows You!'
The Famous Detective is putting the Responsibility on him again. He doesn't realize how many Cases he himself has encountered.
It's Clearly because Conan didn't go to bring Disaster to Beihu Town or Other Places Today. When his Skill cooldown was ready, he activated it Beside him. The Standard 'Famous Detective has no Holiday', 'The Elementary School Student Demon who brings Death wherever he goes', 'Even without Go Out, Incidents can find their way to your Door', 'Too Boring, activate Skill to find something to do'... !
People had gathered outside the Car Accident Location, three layers deep inside and three layers deep outside. When Chi Feichei squeezed in, Mori Kogoro had already Inspected the Vital Signs of the Motorcycle rider on the Ground.
"There's no need to call an Ambulance anymore," Mori Kogoro withdrew his Hand and sighed, Saying, "He's a Corpse."
The Weather was so Good Today. In the Time it took him to take a nap, someone died Outside the Office. It was... A Bit Stunned.
The onlookers and the Driver stood aside, discussing amongst themselves.
"Who told him to ride so Fast?"
"The Steering Wheel wasn't obeying at all..."
Chi Feichei Look Towards the Box that had fallen Beside the Car.
The Box's Lock was already broken from the fall, and two Banknotes had fallen out.
The Box wasn't big. By visual estimation, even if the Box was full of Money, it wouldn't exceed fifty million Yen.
That's good. Such a small Amount Indicates that it has no Relationship with their Organization.
Mori Kogoro and Conan Also noticed the Box on the Ground. They Step Forward and Opened it. Inside the Box were bundles of Banknotes, and there was Also a Letter:
[Here is thirty million Yen. We did not Report to Police about this Matter. Please let my father return as soon as possible. My father has always had a Chronic Illness related to his Kidney and must inject Medication every six Hours. An Explosive Package is attached with the Letter. Please make sure my father receives the injection! --Domoto]
The Events are already Obvious. The money in the Box is the Ransom for someone who was Kidnapped. The Human who had the Car Accident is either a family member delivering the Ransom or a Criminal who took the Ransom.
The Police quickly arrived at the Crime Scene. Inspector Megure listened to Mori Kogoro explain the Events, Received the Letter and Looked at it. He raised his Eyes and Looked at Mori Kogoro, Conan, and Chi Feichei, who seemed unaffected, with an Expressionless Face.
"Inspector Megure, 'I was properly
The next day, two in the afternoon.
Mori Detective Agency.
Mori Kogoro sat at his desk, snoring as he slept leaning back in his chair.
Conan sat bored on the Sofa, listening to the ticking sound of the Clock's second hand, and gave a Yawn.
