Chapter 1147 Odagiri Toshiya: Forcing a Smile
Hiromatsu Hiroshi watched Officer Sakurada and A Group of People leave, gratefully saying, "Thank You, Brother Takagi! And Mr. Chi, Little Partner, Thank You so much!"
"It was nothing," Wataru Takagi said with a smile. "It's good that you weren't misunderstood."
"That was a Famous Deduction," Conan smiled at Wataru Takagi. "Police Officer Takagi was so cool just now!"
Being praised like that by a Child, Wataru Takagi smiled embarrassedly and Scratch Head, "It was nothing..."
Chi Feichei started walking towards the Parking Place, "Then I don't need to make a Statement."
Conan, who had been praising Wataru Takagi just a second ago, had already lifted his foot to follow, looking up at Chi Feichei beside him with a beaming smile, "If Officer Sakurada contacts you, just tell him that it was Police Officer Takagi's Reasoning."
Finally, he didn't have to make a Statement for Chi Feichei. Happy!
Wataru Takagi stared blankly as the Two People left.
Why did he feel that something was Wrong? Was he being schemed against?
But this time's Reasoning was indeed what he said, and his Approach was quite Clear...
...
Beside the Red Lexus SC.
Chi Feichei stopped and Turn Head to Ask Conan, "Where are you going? Whether or Not you want me to take you?"
Conan Considered for a moment, feeling that it wouldn't matter if Chi Feichei went over. Anyway, he only needed to keep what he was going to Say to Doctor Agasa a secret from Chi Feichei and Haibara Ai for a while, and he also had something he wanted to Ask Chi Feichei, "I'm going to Doctor's House."
"Get On The Bus."
Chi Feichei pressed the Car Door Lock, Open the Car Door, and after Get On The Bus, he didn't rush to leave, but made a Phone Call to Odagiri Toshiya's Office.
Conan very consciously, proactively, skillfully Get On The Bus Passenger Seat, and very consciously, proactively, skillfully fastened his Seatbelt.
"Beep... Beep..."
The Phone Call rang twice before being answered.
"Hello, this is the President Office of THK Entertainment Company..."
"It's me," Chi Feichei Interrupt Odagiri Toshiya's serious Self-introduction.
"Oh, it's you, Chi," Odagiri Toshiya's Tone became lazy in a second. "What's the Matter?"
"Around five o'clock this morning, the Police Officer Call me and Ask me to go to Beika Town. Mr. Okubo is dead," Chi Feichei Said. "The Case has just been solved, the Murderer is Mizuhara Ryoji..."
Odagiri Toshiya: "..."
This News came too Suddenly. Couldn't he have made a preamble Before Saying it?
Well, let him sort it out. He was still Considering how to poach the Two People last Night, and after one Night, one was dead and one became the Murderer...
"Are you still going to Contact and Cooperate with An Yong Agency?" Chi Feichei Asked.
Odagiri Toshiya really wanted to Roar, 'Cooperate my ass now', but he couldn't Roar it out in the End, and tried to Calm down, "N-No Need. An Yong Agency didn't have many People to begin with. Only Mizuhara Ryoji's Popularity was considered good, and the remaining Two Artists didn't have much Reputation. What We Need now are Artists with medium Popularity for Transition, and We don't lack Newcomer who need to be nurtured. Since... Since Mr. Okubo and Mizuhara have both had an Incident, then forget it. Recently, the President of An Yong Agency probably won't be in the Mood to Handle Affairs..."
This was a subtle Statement.
An Yong Agency relied on Mizuhara Ryoji to support it. Once Mizuhara Ryoji was gone, there would be no one to take over the burden. Moreover, when an Artist had such an Incident, An Yong Agency would have some Scandal. Even if the President could regain his Mental State, he would have to Handle the Media and express his Attitude on these Matters for a long Time, and he would have no Time to Consider Development at all.
In short, an Office would be directly crippled by 80%...
"...That's all for now. Thank You for this Time. Hard."
After Odagiri Toshiya finished Speaking, he listened to the Busy signal after the Phone on the other side hung up, and Staring at the Table with a solemn Expression for a while, he immediately cheered up and dialed a Phone Call.
He felt that he had been too confused recently, and would actually Think of Asking Chi Feichei to Help with the Investigation...
Look, a Partner that was expected to be quite good was gone in an instant.
And the most deadly thing was that it wasn't just this side!
"Hello, Mr. Mouri... It's me, Odagiri Toshiya... About the Matter I Commissioned you to investigate... It's not urgent, I wanted to Say that there's no Need to investigate... Yes, terminate the Commission. I will pay you the Commission Fee in full..."
"Did something happen?" Mori Kogoro Asked very seriously.
"The original Investigation of those small Companies and Offices was for Partners," Odagiri Toshiya Said with a dry smile. "Now it's almost enough. The List has been preliminarily drafted, so..."
He hadn't forgotten that when he Commissioned these People to Help Kazuki find Kazuki's biological Old Mom, People also died, and Kazuki's Old Mom was almost treated as a Suspect.
Although he wasn't sure who the Plague God was, or how many Plague Gods there were, it was already certain that something had happened on Chi's side. And he heard that when Chi was Offline, Mr. Mouri also often encountered Cases, indicating that this was also a Plague God, which had nothing to do with Chi's Impact. It was best to avoid it.
"Enough?" Mori Kogoro was Silent for a moment. "Sorry, Toshiya, it Seems that my Action here was a little too Slow, but I won't give up the Investigation. Although the Partners you selected this Time are enough, you will definitely need the Data of these small Companies and Offices for Cooperation or Acquisition in the future. My Investigation Progress has already reached halfway. After the Investigation is Clear, you can keep the Investigation Data, so you won't have to be Troublesome in the future!"
Odagiri Toshiya was the Son of his Old Superior's Superior, and also a Good Friend and Partner of his Disciple Kuroki Jiro. Now that he had embarked on the Main Road, he found this Kid quite pleasing to the Eye, and he was also an Old Patron who had Commissioned him again and again. He had to be Warm-hearted and couldn't take advantage of others!
"But..." Odagiri Toshiya tried hard to find an Excuse.
"Okay, you don't need to Say anything. I can't take advantage of you," Mori Kogoro laughed heartily. "Since I accepted your Commission, I will be responsible to the End. This is also my Awakening as a Famous Detective!"
"Then... Then Thank You, Mr. Mouri..."
Odagiri forced a Smiling Face.
He hoped that Mr. Mouri would be fine.
...
Mihua Town.
A Red Car drove from 4-chome to 2-Chome.
In the Car, Conan Turn Head to Look at Chi Feichei, and tentatively Asked, "Brother Chi, don't you Think Mr. Mizuhara and Mr. Haga are a little Similar? But I'm not sure where..."
"Voice Tone," Chi Feichei Said directly while Ride the Car. "There are also Similar Hairstyle and Stubble on the chin."
Conan sighed in his Heart.
Look, his Little Partner was so Clear in his Heart, he must Care About Mr. Haga and that Case.
The most deadly thing was that Mizuhara Ryoji, who looked a bit like Haga Kyosuke, also committed Murder, and in this Incident, Mr. Okubo had a Serious Illness and only had half a year left, which was the Same as the Old Master of the Haga Family.
Sometimes he felt that Fate was simply cruel to Chi Feichei.
Not to mention those Matters in Aoyama Fourth Hospital, let's just Say after they met, the Households where Chi Feichei was staying frequently had Incidents. After finally getting familiar with one, he had to change to the next one. He went to Mermaid Island, and the Shimabukuro Miss he knew committed Murder. He played Music to relax, and the Haga Mr. he knew committed Murder. He came out to relax, and a Person who looked like Haga Kyosuke also committed Murder, and used Matters like 'Entertainment Industry, Murder, live for half a year' to remind Chi Feichei to Think about Haga Kyosuke's Case...
In this Time's Case, Mr. Okubo's Goodwill made even him feel Sad and heavy. Wasn't this adding insult to Injury?
Chi Feichei heard the sigh and glanced sideways. Seeing that Conan had a look of Emotion, he withdrew his Line of Sight and seriously Look at the Road and Ride the Car.
What was Conan sighing about? Because of the Case just now?
Children were just Children, easily sentimental and melancholic.
After Conan finished sighing, he reluctantly smiled, "I Suddenly felt that Mr. Mizuhara and Mr. Haga were very Similar, and I remembered Mr. Haga."
"Are you so sorry for Haga?" Chi Feichei Asked.
So Conan Cared About Haga Kyosuke's Case so much? He didn't even know.
"Yes," Conan responded.
He tried to mix into Chi Feichei's Team and find an Opportunity to enlighten Chi Feichei.
"Don't Think too much, they are not Similar at all," Chi Feichei Said Calmly.
Haga Kyosuke looked gentle, but his Heart was already Cold. He knew very well what he was doing, Considered it well Before doing it, and didn't regret it. On the other hand, Mizuhara Ryoji looked Indifference, but he couldn't even Control his own Emotion and did such a Thing as Impulsive Murder.
Moreover, he really couldn't have a trace of Pity for Mizuhara Ryoji.
When Haga Kyosuke composed Music for others, he always handled it with a 12-point serious Attitude. Even if he had Killing Intent in his Heart, he would still seriously Handle his Work when it was Time to Handle his Work.
But Mizuhara Ryoji, as an Actor, couldn't even do his own job well. He could even Say that he didn't even understand his own Profession thoroughly.
The so-called Actor should have played the Role he was Act well. It was never possible to lie down and muddle through a Lifetime just by showing up on camera with a straight Face or squeezing out a Smiling Face to pretend.
As an amateur, he could try his best to Perform for a certain Need, Profession, or Purpose of his own. No Matter how long he squatted near a certain Role Group to Observe, he had the Patience to do it and try to Restore it. No Matter Whether or Not he needed to be disheveled, have an ugly Countenance, or even be as humble as a Clown, as long as he was Act a certain Role, he didn't mind, because he was just Act that Role.
He really didn't know what to Say about Mizuhara Ryoji. They weren't familiar, and he was too lazy to Comment. However, if he would have thought of Haga Kyosuke because of Mizuhara Ryoji's Voice Tone Before, he couldn't connect the Two People at all now.
Even if their Voice Tones were Similar, they were Two completely Different People.
"Not Similar at all?" Conan looked at Chi Feichei in Doubt. After waiting for a long Time, he didn't get a Response from Chi Feichei, and he was Speechless. He Understood that this meant he was too lazy to explain to him, so don't blame him for Asking directly, "Brother Chi personally talked about Cooperation with Mr. Okubo, also because Mr. Mizuhara's Voice Tone was like Mr. Haga's, right?"
"Sort of," Chi Feichei paused, feeling that Conan might be Thinking too much, and thought that he still Cared About Haga Kyosuke's Murder, and explained, "But there are other Reasons as well. Toshiya wants me to Contact and investigate to See Whether or Not An Yong Agency is Suitable for long-term Cooperation."
"I See!" Conan smiled.
It Seems that Odagiri Toshiya discovered it earlier than him, and deliberately created an Opportunity for Chi Feichei to Contact Mizuhara. It was a Pity that it failed in the End.
It was really him, he was actually so slow to Sense it now, but it was also because this Fellow Chi Feichei was too good at hiding things. On the Day of Mr. Haga's Case, he didn't feel that Chi Feichei would Care About it so much at all.
"By the Way, Brother Chi, Shouldn't you go to Aoyama Fourth Hospital for a Follow-up Examination?" Conan couldn't help but Say again. "There should be a Follow-up Examination every Two Months..."
Chi Feichei: "..."
He forgot about it after coming out and wandering around. This was one of the Reasons.
There was also another Reason...
He just wanted to Ask Conan, how long has it been since they met? How many Seasons are there in a year? After March, is it February, April, or December?
Talking to him about Time Date? It was simply telling him a Cold Joke.

Hiromatsu Hiroshi watched Officer Sakurada and A Group of People leave, gratefully saying, "Thank You, Brother Takagi! And Mr. Chi, Little Partner, Thank You so much!"
"It was nothing," Wataru Takagi said with a smile. "It's good that you weren't misunderstood."
"That was a Famous Deduction," Conan smiled at Wataru Takagi. "Police Officer Takagi was so cool just now!"
