"Dong--"
A bell sound came from the Japanese-style Room.
Doyle struggled free from Haibara Ai, who had carried him out, and turned back to run Inside the Room.
"Doyle?" the three Children said in surprise.
"It's nothing, it's just his Snack time..." Kano Teruya smiled, easing the strange Atmosphere from before, "By the Way, Doctor Chi, my Parents are planning to stop Doyle's Snacks later and only feed him twice a day, morning and evening. It should be okay to feed him today, right?"
Chi Feichei Nodded, "It's okay."
Kano Teruya led a Group of Children to watch Doyle eat Snacks.
The young Woman also untied Christine's Rope, letting Christine go play with Arthur, and followed behind, "Doctor Chi, I'm sorry, I forgot to do a Self-introduction earlier. My name is Hasuki Shino, Christine's Master. Can I ask... um... how many Babies does Christine have?"
"At least three, I'm not sure about the specifics. It would be clearer if you take her to the Hospital for an X-ray..."
"So, are they Male Dog or Female Dog?"
"...Ms. Hasuki, I'm not an Ultrasound Machine."
"Ah, sorry, sorry, I'm just too happy. Is there anything I need to pay attention to? Should I let her rest more?"
"No, the most likely time for miscarriage has already passed. After a week, increase the Dog-walking Time by once a day..."
"Then what about her Diet?"
"Appropriately increase nutritional intake, Meat, Egg, Yogurt, but it must be in moderation. In short, add food appropriately and maintain Activity levels..."
When the Group arrived at the Japanese-style Room, they didn't see Doyle's Figure.
"Woof! Woof!"
"Woof!"
Arthur and Christine, who had agreed to play together earlier, suddenly barked in the Backyard.
A Group of people went over to take a Look and found Doyle's Collar burning in the Incinerator, but Doyle himself was nowhere to be seen.
Conan quickly deduced that the Criminal hadn't left through the Back Door carrying Doyle. The opened Back Door was just a Diversion. Doyle and the Criminal were still Inside the Room. And because Hasuki Shino's Shoe was found in the Backyard, Tosabayashi Aki suspected her.
"In any case, let's split up and search!" Conan looked at Kano Teruya, "We Children will be with Brother Kano, Doctor, Brother Chi, and the other three people..."
"I'm not going," Chi Feichei sat down on the Backyard Corridor, reached out and beckoned Arthur and Christine over, "You guys go find him, I'll wait for you."
"Uh..." Conan was Speechless, leaned closer to Chi Feichei, and whispered, "The Collar was cut with a sharp Weapon. The other person is likely still carrying a Weapon. We Children will be fine with Mr. Kano, but Doctor over there..."
"I'll be here to coordinate and respond. If something happens, I'll shout loudly," Chi Feichei replied in a low voice.
Seeing that Chi Feichei really didn't intend to go, Conan helplessly compromised, went to quietly tell Doctor Agasa to be careful, and went Inside the Room with the others.
"Hey, I'm just saying..." Tosabayashi Aki whispered, "Is that Doctor really okay? His Reaction earlier was too calm, wasn't it?"
"Well, I'm really sorry about that," Haibara Ai said coldly, "Even if the Bus he was on was hijacked by Gun-wielding Thugs, Brother Hichiji would still be like that."
"And no one likes Small Animals more than Brother Chi!" Ayumi stared at Tosabayashi Aki with a face full of dissatisfaction.
"Old Woman, you're not holding a grudge against Brother Chi just because he didn't agree with you earlier, are you?" Genta glanced at Tosabayashi Aki, "As an Adult, it's better to be more generous!"
Mitsuhiko didn't even remind Genta to be polite and just Nodded silently.
Tosabayashi Aki choked, a little annoyed, "I didn't say it was definitely him..."
"Alright, alright," Doctor Agasa quickly laughed and smoothed things over, "Let's hurry up and find Doyle!"
...Backyard.
The Autumn Sunshine was warm but not scorching, shining on the Courtyard Grass.
Chi Feichei sat on the Corridor Wooden Floor, spacing out while looking at the Green Plants in the Courtyard. Even when Arthur and Christine passed by him, playing and playing noisily, he didn't pay much attention.
Ever since his Plan succeeded last night, his Mood had been good, and it was the same now.
So he didn't want to bother with any troublesome Matters.
The reason he came was to check Haibara Ai's Psychological State, and also to relax his Mood, which was constantly brewing with anticipation.
If it weren't for the fact that there were many people watching Giant pandas recently, and The Zoo couldn't conveniently close the Panda Pavilion early, he would have considered going to sit with Tuanzi.
Not to mention that there were no casualties in this Incident, even if someone had died, he wouldn't participate in the Investigation.
Hissashi suddenly spoke mysteriously, "Master, I know where that Dog is."
Chi Feichei: "I know too."
"Whether or Not I..." Hissashi choked, Master wasn't playing by the Routine, "Then shall we say it together?"
"Stereo."
"Inside the Stereo."
Hissashi was completely out of temper, slipped out from under Chi Feichei's Clothes, stretched his Body in the Sun, and lay down to doze.
After a while, Arthur and Christine ran out again.
Chi Feichei didn't move.
Conan and his Group quickly followed and discussed beside them.
"It seems like it won't work to have Arthur help find Doyle..."
"Is he tired of searching?"
Chi Feichei didn't move.
The Group discussed it for a while and planned to go back and search again.
Chi Feichei still didn't move...
Hmm?
Conan looked at Chi Feichei with Doubt, and noticed that Haibara Ai glanced at him and then turned her Line of Sight away, making him even more Doubtful.
"Let's go, we'll search again," Haibara Ai turned around and walked Inside the Room.
Conan deliberately lagged behind and whispered to Doctor Agasa, "Doctor, did Ai and Brother Chi quarrel?"
"No," Doctor Agasa turned his Head to Look at Chi Feichei's Figure, also feeling Weird, "When we came, you and Ai rode in Hassashi's Car together, did they quarrel at that Time?"
"No, and with those two's Personalities, it's impossible for them to quarrel, right?" Conan stroked his chin. Arthur was missing, and Chi Feichei and Haibara Ai's abnormal Behavior was too intriguing, "Doctor, how has Ai's State been recently? I mean after the Bus hijacking Incident."
"Going to school, playing Games, going out to buy Gifts for everyone," Doctor Agasa recalled, "It seems like there's nothing abnormal..."
"No Abnormality is the most Abnormal thing," Conan said with certainty, "Judging by her Personality, she wouldn't be so carefree. She bought Gifts for all of us, right?"
"Right," Doctor Agasa said, "I also asked her where she got the Money, but she wouldn't say."
Conan was exasperated, "Please, it's not important where her Pocket Money came from now. I Suspect she still cares about that Matter on the Bus, and is intentionally pretending to be nonchalant, just to deceive us."
"Speaking of which, she seems to have not been sleeping well Recently, often getting up at night, and her appetite isn't as good as before," Doctor Agasa thought carefully, "Then her buying Gifts for us..."
"Probably wants to give everyone some Things before leaving," Conan said with a serious Expression.
Doctor Agasa sweatdropped, "Shinichi, could it be that you're overthinking it? Maybe Ai just suddenly got some Money and wanted to buy some Things for everyone?"
"There is indeed that possibility," Conan analyzed, "But, she saw Brother Chi sitting there alone for a long Time without moving, and pretended not to see him. And she refused to go to Brother Chi's place a few days ago. These Behaviors are really Suspicious. She should be worried that after making a certain Choice, it will make Brother Chi sad or get Injured like last time, and is deliberately distancing herself from Brother Chi."
Doctor Agasa thought for a moment, "Then should I talk to her after we get back?"
"Probably can't wait until we get back," Conan said helplessly, "Brother Chi's State is also not right. He probably noticed Ai's distancing, so... I don't know what he's thinking, but the person who is more Worrying should be him..."
Doctor Agasa had a headache, these two are both worrisome, "Then Whether or Not we should solve them separately?"
"But I'm not sure what Brother Chi is thinking," Conan said with Half-Moon Eyes, "Even if I ask him, he won't say. And, maybe he just wants to be Quiet for a while. The only Abnormality is that he didn't help find Doyle together, but maybe it's..."
"What's wrong with me not helping to find Doyle?" A calm male voice came from behind.
Conan and Doctor Agasa felt a chill down their backs and froze. When they were discussing someone behind their back, that person suddenly appeared behind them and spoke chillingly, it was really scary.
Conan turned his Head, looked at Chi Feichei, who had arrived behind them at some point, and smiled cutely, "It's nothing, hahahaha..."
"Inside the Stereo," Chi Feichei reminded him.
After Conan Realized what Chi Feichei was talking about, his chest suddenly felt a little stuffy. That's right, Chi Feichei didn't help find Doyle together, maybe it was because... he already knew where Doyle was.
"In the Incinerator, besides the Collar, there's also Soundproofing Cotton from inside the Stereo. This shows that someone hollowed out the inside of the Stereo to make space to put some Things or a Creature."
"For Example, record the Bell sound from the Japanese-style Room, play it in the Living Room, put the Cushion and Snacks with Sleeping Pill on the Stereo in the Living Room. After Doyle hears the Bell sound and goes to the Living Room, smells his own scent on the Cushion and the Flavor of the Snacks, he will go into the Stereo to eat by himself, and then fall asleep..."
"Why did that person do this?" Conan subconsciously asked the question, just about to think...
"For the Jewel on Doyle's Collar. That Jewel is worth quite a bit." Before Conan could speak, Chi Feichei looked at the Clock beside him again, "The Jewel is placed in this Clock that he can take away later. As for the specific Location... the Clock was very accurate at 12 o'clock, but now it's 3 minutes slow. It should be stuck behind the Pendulum."
Conan: "..."
This kind of Behavior that completely doesn't give others a chance to think and directly spoils the plot is really terrible...
Chi Feichei Reach Out and gently patted the top of Conan's Head, said in a Low Voice, "Solve it quickly, I want to Go Home earlier."
Conan lowered his Head and walked towards the Japanese-style Room like a walking dead, "I understand..."
Sure enough, he was overthinking it. Judging by this, Chi Feichei is completely fine.
Doctor Agasa followed worriedly, wouldn't Shinichi be too discouraged and develop some Mental Illness?
Sigh, neither of them is reassuring!
