Chapter 435 Chi Feichei is Still That Chi Feichei
"After that incident, we closed down for a while," Anzai Kyoko said with a smile, taking over the conversation. "We reopened a month ago, and our popularity has only just started to recover recently."
Haibara Ai turned her head to look at Conan, "Are you sure it's okay for you guys to gather here again today?" These two are revisiting this place, won't they cause trouble for the Shop again?
"Hey, hey, what do you mean by that..." Conan gave her Half-Moon Eyes. If you're talking about Plague Gods, Chi Feichei is the real Plague God, okay?
"We're here," Anzai Kyoko said, pushing the Door open and stepping aside. "Please, come in." Haibara Ai walked in, "Edogawa is back." Conan: "..."
By the Way, before he went on Tourism to Nanki Shirahama, he seemed to have called Chi Feichei, lied and said Haibara Ai had an accident, wanting to see Chi Feichei get anxious, but he was seen through... Going on Tourism, he actually forgot about this. That petty Chi Feichei wouldn't be waiting inside to set him up, would he? Is Haibara bringing him here to sell him out?
"Brother Chi." "Brother Chi!" Ayumi, Genta, and Mitsuhiko entered and greeted him. Conan could only follow them in, greeting him with a smile, "Brother Chi!" Trying hard to act cute, maybe Chi Feichei won't have the heart to hold it against him~
"Sit down," Chi Feichei didn't take that Matter to heart at all. Conan running off to Wakayama Prefecture to hide from him, he found it quite amusing. "I've already asked the Shop to prepare Specialty Dishes. It seems like you guys don't have any disliked food or food allergies. I've also ordered some Sushi and Fish Dishes."
"Yes~" "Thank you!" "Thank you, Brother Chi, for treating us to a meal..." Haibara Ai watched Conan act like a well-behaved Child with the other three Children, and after sitting down to Chi Feichei's left, the corners of her mouth quietly lifted.
Conan thanked him and sat down with the three Kids, feeling relieved in his heart. It seemed Chi Feichei didn't take it to heart, that's good. Turning his Head, he noticed a hint of a smile on Haibara Ai's lips, and immediately understood.
"I'm talking about you..." It seems Haibara Ai knew long ago that Chi Feichei didn't take it to heart, and deliberately said 'Edogawa is back' when they entered, making him think Chi Feichei was waiting to settle accounts with him.
"What's wrong?" Haibara Ai asked calmly. Conan: "..." Who did she learn this bad habit of bullying him from?
After Mitsuhiko sat down, he took out the Notebook he carried with him, and looked at Chi Feichei with a serious Expression, "Well then, let's first talk about the Investigation Result of the Commission." The others also took out their own Notebooks, including Conan as well.
Chi Feichei saw Conan's action and asked, "Conan also participated in the Investigation?" "Conan went to Nanki Shirahama to play yesterday, and encountered a Murder Case again. He came back early last night, and this morning he went to investigate with us," Ayumi helped explain.
"After all, he's also a member of the Junior Detective League!" Genta said. Chi Feichei nodded, "Then tell me the Outcome."
Mitsuhiko cleared his Throat, looked at the Notebook and said, "We asked Brother Minya, and there are a total of 9 people who might hold Resentment towards him..."
"So many people resent him, that's really scary!" Genta exclaimed. "But, Brother Minya didn't do anything wrong," Ayumi couldn't help but Say, "He just stopped singing Rock and Roll and started a Company, those people, if they were willing to Work hard, Brother Minya wouldn't refuse them from joining the Company, but they clearly just want to be lazy and coast through life, how can we let those woodworms get in..."
"But it's true that not many of his former Friends are good people," Haibara Ai said, looking at the Notebook. "After our Investigation, 6 of them only have some resentment because their requests to join the Company were rejected. They just don't want to associate with Brother Minya anymore, it doesn't count as Resentment."
"There are 3 people worth noting," Conan took over, speaking seriously, "First is the Keyboardist from his former Band..." "That person with long Hair, dyed Golden, and wearing Earrings on his Ears, who looks very much like a Woman..." Mitsuhiko solemnly handed the Notebook to Chi Feichei.
Chi Feichei lowered his Eyes to Look, on the Notebook was a Simple Sketch. Hmm... the features are very clear, Golden long Hair, two Circle Earrings, very thin eyebrows, a lot of white in the Eyes, the Eyes are just black dots, but when combined, it looks more like a menacing Monster. Hassashi also curiously poked his Head over to Look, and flicked his Snake Tongue, "It's drawn pretty well!"
Chi Feichei: "..." Compared to Hassashi, the Soul Painter, it is indeed pretty good.
"He's not the one who sent the Threatening Letter, but his Relationship with Brother Minya seems a bit strange," Mitsuhiko said, pondering. "According to the Situation we learned when we went to the Company, he was the first to propose that Brother Minya bring him into the Company. After being rejected, he even went to the Company to look for Brother Minya, but he's been quiet recently. When we visited his Home, he even said that the Company isn't Brother Minya's alone, and he would be understanding."
"He doesn't seem like someone who would be considerate of others," Conan frowned. "Moreover, we asked the neighbors around his Home, and he hasn't done any Work recently, he's been idle. But the Television at his Home is new, and the Price of the Liquor he drinks isn't cheap either. He also seems to be planning to go to the 4S Store to buy a new Car. He's probably Extorting Brother Minya, using the Matter of Brother Minya once Extorting others."
"Didn't Brother Minya already confess to the Police?" Genta asked in Doubt. "And the subsequent Detention and Bail were all normal Procedures, not illegal."
"Because the current THK Company can't withstand scandals, especially scandals of the President, it's easily used as a Target of Attack by Opponents," Haibara Ai explained, looking at Chi Feichei. "Although I can Understand, I don't think this Matter must be resolved. There are only 0 times and countless times for compromising with threats."
Conan nodded, "He went to the 4S Store to look at new Cars, probably planning to Extort Brother Minya again after a while." Ayumi looked worried, "But, when we went to Brother Minya to ask about this Matter, he said he was in a hurry to record a Program, and he's going on a Honeymoon with his Lover tomorrow, and told us to come find you after we finish the Investigation, he was completely unwilling to talk to us more."
"This can't go on like this!" Mitsuhiko said seriously. "Being Extorted all the time, that person's appetite will only get bigger and bigger. When Brother Minya can't take it anymore, he might do something drastic!" "This kind of thing can't be compromised at all!" Genta also said.
"I know about this Matter," Chi Feichei said calmly. "I told Toshiya before, if someone Extorts you with that Matter from before, just give him the Money he asks for." "Huh?!" The five Naughty children's Expressions all changed, including Haibara Ai's calm Expression, which also somewhat broke down.
"From the time the Company was established, I considered the Troublesome Matter that Toshiya Extorted others back then would bring," Chi Feichei said. "Don't worry, everything is in the Plan. It will end when the Fifth Episode of the Program starts broadcasting."
"Plan..." Haibara Ai suddenly thought of a possibility, "Then in the Fifth Episode of the Program, Brother Minya will appear, right?" "Yes, taking advantage of the opportunity to perform on stage, let him proactively expose this Matter, make a deep self-criticism, and also talk about his mental journey," Chi Feichei poured Tea into the Teacups in front of the Children. "With the current Popularity of the Program, it's almost like confessing to all of Japan. Of course, we also told Uncle Minro Odagiri about this point in the beginning, and he also agreed for Toshiya to do this. There will definitely be public opinion, but compared to being passively exposed, being proactive, we can be prepared, control the trend of public opinion in our Hands, and finally help him completely eliminate the hidden dangers of this Matter. Furthermore, the Popularity of the Program needs public opinion to drive it, the Program will be even more popular, and we will earn more."
"Then why wait until the Fifth Episode?" Mitsuhiko asked, puzzled. "When he was initially threatened with Extortion..." "Because of Value," Haibara Ai seemed to Understand, explaining to the other three Children, "The Value that can be obtained by arranging it in the Fifth Episode far exceeds the little Money given to the Extortionist. So, compared to bringing Brother Minya's appearance forward, Brother Hichiji and Brother Minya chose to give Money first to stabilize that Fellow."
Chi Feichei nodded, "Benefit weighing, the Fifth Episode is very important. The Program Popularity can be fiercely increased again, and the Company Value and Program Value will both be improved. Stabilize him first, don't affect earning the big bucks."
"This is the Capitalist..." Haibara Ai said Speechless to the other three Children.
"I'm afraid there's another Reason," Conan gave Chi Feichei Half-Moon Eyes. "After Brother Minya himself reveals the Matter on the Program, he will Report to Police to arrest that Fellow, right? The Extortion Crime is sentenced according to the Extortion Amount. The more that Fellow Extorts, the heavier his sentence will be. Judging from his Situation, it's at least five years or more..."
This is using Money to raise the Extortionist, and when the Extortion Amount reaches the standard, directly throw the person into Prison for a few more years! Chi Feichei nodded, indicating that Conan guessed correctly. "Toshiya didn't tell you, probably because he was worried that Children couldn't keep Secrets, so I told you, asking you to maintain Confidentiality, at least until the Plan ends, there are not many Days left."
"We won't talk nonsense everywhere!" Genta said. "Don't worry," Mitsuhiko also said seriously, "We will keep the Secret." Ayumi nodded emphatically, "Mmm!" Conan was speechless, Chi Feichei is indeed still the same Chi Feichei, giving people Scalp Numbing feelings.
In addition, he suspected that Chi Feichei was also using Routine on Children. First, he said that Odagiri Toshiya was worried that Children couldn't keep Secrets, and then expressed his Trust in them. If they told anyone, it would be equivalent to betraying Chi Feichei's Trust. These three Kids are moved and also have to consider not betraying Chi Feichei, probably they won't tell anyone, which is much more effective than nagging 'can't say, can't say'.
But although this Matter is a Trap, it's not an illegal operation. It's still the fault of that Extorting Fellow for wanting to get something for nothing, and he's too lazy to care... "I definitely won't say anything," Haibara Ai looked at Conan, she felt Conan was the one who needed the most attention. "What about you? Edogawa."
"I know, I won't say anything either," Conan said Speechless, "Detectives are supposed to maintain Confidentiality for their Clients." "Then what about the remaining two people who need attention?" Chi Feichei asked.
There was one Matter he didn't say. Once a person has a large sum of Money that comes without labor, they will become inflated and do things they didn't dare to do before. Odagiri Toshiya has already found someone to keep an eye on him. That Fellow has also done some other shameful things, such as spending Money to hire people to beat others, such as harassing Female, and also... taking Contraband. At that time, it's probably more than five years. Since a Scheme has already been set up, instead of letting the other party hold Resentment and later come out to stare at them for revenge, it's better to directly step on them to the end. Moreover, he didn't have people guide him, which is considered the utmost benevolence and righteousness. As long as that Fellow's character is a little better, and he doesn't do other outrageous things, it's at most five years... Not telling this group of Naughty children is just because he's worried that These People will suddenly have an outburst of Sympathy and run to inform that Fellow.
"The second person who needs attention," Mitsuhiko flipped through the Notebook on the Table in front of Chi Feichei, revealing the Simple Sketch Portrait of the next person, "She is Brother Minya's Fan."
Chi Feichei looked at the Portrait of the person on it. The features were also drawn very clearly: a thin Woman, her Hairstyle is very special, one side is braided with many braids, and the other side is Short Hair, wearing long Earrings, and her clothing Style is also quite flamboyant.
"She's the kind of Fan who still really likes Brother Minya!" Ayumi added. Genta looked doubtful, "Although it's hard to believe, Brother Minya actually has Fans..." (End of Chapter)
"After that incident, we closed down for a while," Anzai Kyoko said with a smile, taking over the conversation. "We reopened a month ago, and our popularity has only just started to recover recently."
Haibara Ai turned her head to look at Conan, "Are you sure it's okay for you guys to gather here again today?" These two are revisiting this place, won't they cause trouble for the Shop again?
