Chapter 425: Stance is askew, Master!
At night, street lamps illuminated the silent road.
In front of a three-story Apartment Building, two Cars stopped one after the other.
Chi Feichei got out of the Car wearing Gloves, and glanced at Gin, noticing he was also wearing Gloves. He looked up at the Sky.
It seemed they would be staying a while longer tonight, but there was No Need to worry about Accidents. There should be a Crow following him, which could Help with Warnings when the time came.
In the dim Night Sky, two Crows flew to the edge of the Balcony of the Apartment Building and stopped.
Gin also looked up, "Feimo still doesn't intend to Go Out?"
"His Feather has grown out a bit, and he Probably thinks he's not as good-looking as before, so he's still staying at Home all day," Chi Feichei said, walking Upstairs. "What's wrong, are you worried? Other Crows can be used for Warnings, no Problem."
Gin withdrew his gaze and didn't Say anything else.
He thought about raising two more Crows for Warnings again.
But, thinking about having to feed, train, and cultivate Emotion...
Never Mind, when Warnings are needed, just bring Raki along. Raki doesn't need him to worry about feeding, which is more convenient.
In a Room on the Third Floor, Vodka stood in front of the Bookshelf, rummaging through Things with a clatter, occasionally looking at what he held in his hand, tossing it behind him casually, panting from the search.
Chi Feichei pushed open the Room Door, looked at the mess on the floor, and entered in Silence.
Speechless.
Vodka had really worked Hard, searching until he was exhausted like this...
Gin also followed him in, in Silence. He was the one who told Vodka to come first, and didn't remind Vodka not to destroy the Crime Scene Traces. He should have thought of these Consequences at the time, and now...
Speechless.
"Boss, Raki, you're here." Vodka paused his rummaging Action, Turned Around and greeted them.
"Is this the Room?" Gin silently ignored the mess on the Ground.
"I showed the Apartment Manager the Photo just now and already confirmed it," Vodka Said.
Gin entered the Door, "I didn't expect her to hide in this kind of Place behind the Organization's back."
"The Rent was prepaid for a year, and the Phone Call has always been Voicemail," Vodka explained the Situation seriously. "Neighbors Say they sometimes hear Phone Calls coming in, which quickly go to Voicemail, but when I was just about to listen to the Phone Recording, I discovered a weird thing..."
Seeing Vodka so serious, Chi Feichei was embarrassed to Say anything, and went to the Bookshelf that had been rummaged through to Check it out.
Piles of Biology and Physiology books.
Gin also walked to the Bookshelf, casually picked up a Biology Book, and Said decisively, "The Voicemail was not Recorded!"
"Huh?" Vodka was surprised, then 'hmmed' in agreement, confirming Gin's deduction, "Who on earth would do this Weird Matter?"
"Obviously, this Apartment is not only known to Akemi Miyano, and she's been here," Chi Feichei walked to the Sofa and sat down. There was nothing good to See anymore, and the Traces had been almost completely destroyed by Vodka. "For a Phone Call that can't be connected and only has Voicemail, calling all the time is not for the sake of talking..."
"Hmph, a Woman is a Woman after all." Gin sneered, casually tossed the Book in his hand behind him. Anyway, the Traces had been almost completely destroyed, and his action wouldn't make much Difference. He took out a Disk from his Trench Coat Pocket. "Vodka, there's a Computer in the Car, bring it here. Inside, there's a Reverse Tracking Program newly developed by the Organization. With this thing, in 20 seconds, you can track the Location of the person who made the Phone Call!"
"Got it!" Vodka grinned and Turn Around to go Downstairs to get the Computer.
Gin left the Bookshelf, put the Disk on the Table, and also sat down on the Sofa.
Chi Feichei suddenly Said, "You looked like a Disk salesman just now."
Gin glanced at Chi Feichei, thought about it carefully, and it did look a bit like selling Discs. He withdrew his gaze, leaned back on the Sofa, and crossed his legs. "At least I need to let Vodka know what these Things are."
Forcibly finding a Reason to explain.
And this Reason...
Chi Feichei really couldn't refute it.
After Vodka brought the Computer Upstairs, logged into his Account, and connected the Disk and the Computer, the Three People waited aside.
"Raki..." Vodka was bored waiting and wanted to find a Topic. He Turned Head to look at Chi Feichei, and at a Glance saw a Snake Head hanging in front of the Windbreaker Coat Zipper, and choked for a moment. "Have you ever been bitten by Hissashi, carrying Hissashi around like this all the time?"
"No." Chi Feichei pulled Hissashi out and coiled him in his Hand.
"Has he bitten other Humans?" Vodka sized up Hissashi, who looked like a Toy Snake.
"Bitten a few," Chi Feichei Said.
Vodka decisively gave up the Idea of Reach Out his Hand. For no reason, he didn't want to be bitten by a Snake. He suddenly chuckled, "By the Way, you seem to have a special fondness for this Disguise Mask..."
"There are still some Rats in the Organization," Gin Said. "Having always seen him use this Face, those Rats will more or less think this is his original Appearance. After all, always Disguiseing as one Appearance is a very boring Matter."
"If you're tired of looking at it, I can change it," Chi Feichei Said to Vodka, preparing to tear off the Face.
Vodka broke out in a sweat, "Ah, No Need, but do you usually put on several layers of Disguise on your Face?"
"Depends on my Mood," Chi Feichei Said. "Sometimes I also decide by rolling Dice. Whatever number I roll, I prepare that many layers of Disguise."
Vodka: "..."
"It seems you're in a good Mood today," Gin suddenly Said. "You can even chat enthusiastically about such a boring Topic."
"Huh?" Vodka was confused.
"After All, this time's Goal is quite Difference from Yuan Jiaming."
Chi Feichei tacitly agreed with the 'good Mood' Statement.
Although his good Mood was because he was looking forward to something, from the Organization's point of view, Sherry knew much more about the Organization than Yuan Jiaming. The longer she escaped, the more likely the Organization's Matters would be known by others. Being able to catch Clues was certainly a good thing, and it made sense that he was in a good Mood.
Gin wasn't in a hurry now because he was sure that Sherry had grown up in the Organization since she was a child and knew that the Organization's hidden Intelligence Network was very extensive. She wouldn't easily Trust others. At the same time, Sherry understood the Organization's Style and wouldn't easily drag others into the water, so she wouldn't easily reveal the Organization's Matters.
Perhaps, there was also Knowledge of her Personality...
Gin also thought of Sherry's Matter, "Raki, when you were staying at Pisco's House, did you notice anything Abnormality about Pisco? For Example... was he interacting with any suspicious Humans?"
"During that time, I was busy playing Game and wasn't monitoring him all the time," Chi Feichei Said. "From my interactions with him, Probably not."
"Hmm..." Gin pondered for a moment. "Last time, he Said he got News of Sherry and had already captured the Human. When Vodka and I went, we didn't See Sherry. Instead, we encountered a Fellow who wanted to plot against me. Taking the initiative to attack is not Sherry's Style at all. She would only think about escaping far away. In other words, there was another Human at that time!"
"Boss, are you suspecting Pisco of setting a Trap to scheme against us?" Vodka Asked. "Why would he do this?"
"He indeed has no Reason to do so," Gin Said. "I also Don't Think he would do this. That Old Man's Loyalty to the Organization is still guaranteed. I'm just confirming with Raki if he has any Problem."
"Then..." Vodka was thoughtful.
"Then that means Sherry found a Helper," Gin continued. "Pisco didn't Lie. He did capture Sherry, but when he wasn't paying attention, a Fellow rescued Sherry and ambushed us there..."
Chi Feichei: "..."
The Responsibility for saving people, please let Conan take it.
"A bold Fellow," Gin sneered. "He noticed Pisco's Action, rescued the Human from Pisco without Pisco knowing, and ambushed us there. He's also a smart Fellow."
"But, that Human making this kind of Behavior..." Chi Feichei paused. "Not very old, or doesn't have much Knowledge of the Organization. Sherry didn't reveal too much, Otherwise he wouldn't be so impulsive."
He wasn't intentionally revealing Conan's secret, but Gin would definitely be able to figure it out.
"That Woman indeed won't Say much to outsiders. She doesn't easily Trust others." Gin agreed with Chi Feichei's deduction.
"Then we can slowly catch Humans, and we'll be able to catch them all sooner or later..." Vodka grinned.
"Ding-ling-ling!"
The Landline Phone on the Table rang.
The Three People stopped talking and listened quietly.
The Phone Call rang twice and switched to Voicemail.
"This is Miyano, I'm not at Home right now..."
At the same time, the Tracking Program in the Computer started running.
"...Please leave your Name and message after the beep."
After the 'beep' sound, a gentle female voice came from the Phone Call.
"Older Sister? It's me..."
Chi Feichei lowered his eyes and stared at Hissashi in his Hand, the corners of his mouth slightly raised.
He could be thankful for the Call Quality of Landline Phones nowadays. It sounded no Difference from the Sound of an ordinary young Woman, and it was impossible to tell if it was Children.
Vodka was surprised and couldn't help but Turn Head to look at Gin and Chi Feichei beside him. He found that the two of them seemed not surprised at all. Their Eyes were also largely obscured by the Shadow cast by their Hair, and the corners of their mouths were also carrying a smile without any warmth...
Hmm? Raki actually smiles?
It seems Raki is in a really good Mood today...
He was also in a good Mood, and another Traitor was about to be caught...
Vodka's thoughts drifted for a moment, and the Phone Call continued to play the female voice.
"The day after tomorrow, I'm going to attend the Opening Ceremony of the Twin Towers Skyscraper..."
"Beep."
The Phone Call was suddenly cut off.
The Procedure running on the Computer also popped up a 'Cannot Detect' Hint box.
Vodka was stunned, and couldn't help but punch the Table. "Damn it! Just a few seconds away from Tracking it!"
"Ding-ling-ling..."
The Phone Call suddenly rang again.
"This is Miyano, I'm not at Home right now..."
Key Tones came from the other end, and then, the Call was cut off.
"The Phone Recording has been erased!" Vodka was surprised. "Could it be that the Woman knows we're here?!"
"No, no way," Gin lit a Cigarette. "The reason she erased the Phone Recording is because she doesn't want it to be heard by others in the future. She would never Dream that we are eavesdropping next to the Phone Call..."
"Saying 'eavesdropping' is a bit harsh," Chi Feichei Said. "We are listening openly and honestly."
Not arguing... okay, I am arguing.
But the Statement of 'eavesdropping' is indeed harsh.
Gin chuckled, "Say So, that's also Correct, Raki, your Luck is really good. Just when you were bored, Traitors are coming to our Door one after another."
"Will she Call again?" Vodka Asked.
"Probably not," Gin stood up, with a chilling bloodthirsty intent in his Eyes. "But this is already enough. This time, Fate seems to be on our side too!"
Vodka also laughed, "The day after tomorrow, the Opening Ceremony of the Twin Towers Building..."
"I'm getting a little excited being influenced by them..." Hissashi muttered in a low voice, feeling that it was not right for him to be excited now, and secretly looked up at Chi Feichei.
Huh?
Wait, is Master's Emotion in his Eyes a little weird?
That kind of suppressed, prey-like anticipation...
Your Stance is askew, Master!
Chi Feichei was indeed looking forward to it.
It had nothing to do with Stance, he just wanted to watch the excitement and satisfy his Morbid Taste.
The Long String with Fulante was both worrying and boring. Having the Opportunity to See Conan's terrified Expression was enough to make him look forward to it.
