Chapter 438: Could You Speak Normally?
Conan looked at Inspector Megure, "Inspector Megure, regarding the reason for sending the Threatening Letter, didn't Miss Shimizu say anything else?"
Inspector Megure thought for a moment, "Nothing else."
Conan was puzzled. So, his previous Reasoning that Shimizu Reiko sent the Threatening Letter for Chi Feichei was completely wrong?
Chi Feichei said he would handle it, just because he saw that Miss Shimizu was helping someone else send the Threatening Letter, and Miss Shimizu herself had no hostility towards Odagiri Toshiya, so they didn't need to worry?
Or was his guess right, Chi Feichei and Miss Shimizu really knew each other, and Miss Shimizu concealed her real Motive from the Police?
Chi Feichei didn't even explain things at the time, making it impossible for him to judge.
"Inspector Megure, did the Police confirm the Room of the upstairs resident afterwards, and the Personal Belongings of the Landlord?" Saguru Hakuba asked.
Inspector Megure nodded, "Confirmed, no Luminol Reaction, Plastic Sheet or similar items were found."
"Knock knock!"
A knock on the door.
"Please come in," Inspector Megure said.
Ms. Anzai, accompanied by a Police Officer, stood at the Entrance somewhat embarrassed, "That... Mr. Chi, Things have been delivered."
Chi Feichei turned his Head and asked Hakuba, "Have you eaten Dinner?"
"Not yet," Hakuba took out his Mobile Phone and checked the Time, "It's already 8:11:03 PM, I've been at the Metropolitan Police Department since 1 PM, originally I planned to go Home for Dinner after leaving the Metropolitan Police Department..."
"Toshiya?"
"I haven't eaten either, I came to the Metropolitan Police Department around 5 PM."
"Inspector Megure, and you?" Chi Feichei looked at Inspector Megure again.
"Me?" Inspector Megure pointed at himself in confusion, looking blank, "After receiving the Emergency Call, we went to the Crime Scene to investigate, then brought people related to the Case back to the Metropolitan Police Department for questioning, and haven't had Dinner yet..."
"Then let's Eat Something," Chi Feichei looked at Ms. Anzai, "Ms. Anzai, I'm sorry to trouble you."
"Just a moment." Ms. Anzai turned around, beckoned her Companion to bring the Meals over, and two people started serving Dishes plate by plate.
Chi Feichei ordered Table-draping Cuisine at Flowing Water Pavilion, also known as Nagasaki Cuisine, which is Chinese-style Cuisine.
The characteristic of Table-draping Cuisine is that everyone sits around a Table, and all the Meals and Dishes are placed on one Table.
Initially there were seven Side Dishes, and also Shark Fin Soup, Tea, Large Plate, Medium Plate, Stewed Dish, Mochi Red Bean Soup, Fruit...
In addition, Chi Feichei also ordered some Salmon Sushi, plus Genta's Eel Rice, and since they were coming to the Metropolitan Police Department, and considering that others probably wouldn't have time for Dinner either, he also added a few Side Dishes.
Hakuba: "..."
Although everyone hasn't eaten, it's fine to have Meals delivered to Eat Something together, but such a large Table, isn't it a bit too elaborate?
Inspector Megure: "..."
Wouldn't a Bento be enough for Eat Something?
Looking at this large Table of food, he felt a little flustered.
Odagiri Toshiya: "..."
It feels like corruption is happening at the Metropolitan Police Department.
Then the Problem is, if his Old Dad sees this scene, would he choose to beat him to death, or would he choose to beat Inspector Megure to death...
The Junior Detective League recognized it, this was the Table they were at before at Flowing Water Pavilion, which they hadn't had time to eat yet.
"Please enjoy your Meal." After the Dishes were set, Ms. Anzai bowed again and left.
"Before, I took These People to eat, but hadn't had time to eat yet, then received Toshiya's Phone Call," Chi Feichei explained, "so I asked the Shop Assistant to send the Things over, after understanding the Situation, it's just right to let the Children Eat Something at the Metropolitan Police Department."
"Also Correct, letting a Group of Kids go hungry is really Troublesome," Toshiya was relieved.
"And leaving it there, it is indeed a waste," Hakuba was also relieved.
With such a suitable Reason, then let's eat, eating better is definitely good.
"I'm going to dig in!"
Genta, Ayumi, and Mitsuhiko were also really Hungry, and couldn't wait to start eating.
A Group of people happily started eating, the only one who was a little uncomfortable was probably Inspector Megure.
Inspector Megure's heart was filled with mixed feelings, holding a Feast in the Metropolitan Police Department is really inappropriate, should he stop it? Or should he bite the bullet and accompany the three Young Masters and a Group of Children to eat?
But it seems they have already started eating, so he will also eat, at worst he will eat faster.
Odagiri Toshiya noticed that Inspector Megure was eating at an extremely fast Speed, and couldn't help but look sideways, "Inspector Megure, are you already Hungry? Was your Meal Time also delayed by the Case? You've really worked Hard."
"Although exquisite Cuisine needs to be slowly savored, but at this time, Never Mind," Hakuba also smiled slightly, "You've worked Hard."
Inspector Megure: "..."
Thank You, but he feels that keeping Company with These People is even more Hard.
...
During the Meal, except for the three Children occasionally praising how delicious the Food was, no one else spoke much.
Chi Feichei, Hakuba, and Conan, the three of them, did not talk about the Case.
There are some Ideas in mind, but still need confirmation.
After Dinner, Odagiri Toshiya's Alibi was also found, confirming that at the Crime Scene Time, more than one person had seen Odagiri Toshiya in Shibuya.
Odagiri Toshiya raised his Wrist and looked at his Watch, "Then that proves I didn't have Time to commit the crime, it's already past nine, I'll leave first, I still have very important Matters Tomorrow..."
"Then, if you need to Cooperate with Investigation, we will contact you again," Inspector Megure said seriously.
Odagiri Toshiya nodded, and looked at Chi Feichei again, "Hassashi, you still want to Investigate this Case, right?"
"I'll just go to the Crime Scene Apartment to take a look," Chi Feichei said.
"Okay!" Odagiri Toshiya hurriedly Get Up and Go Out, not forgetting to remind, "You should also go back to rest early!"
"Then I'll also go to the Crime Scene Apartment to take a look first," Hakuba asked Inspector Megure, "Inspector Megure, is it okay?"
Inspector Megure nodded, the Case Details have all been discussed, does he still need to say no? Hurry up and Solve a Case.
"Can we also go together?" Mitsuhiko asked.
Ayumi and Genta also looked at Inspector Megure with expectant expressions.
Inspector Megure instructed, "After going there, you must not run around or touch Things at the Crime Scene!"
"Yes!"
...
Night, 9:49 PM.
Second Floor of the Apartment Building, Police Officer Takagi opened the Room Door.
Chi Feichei consciously took out a pair of Medical Gloves from his Pocket, unpacked it, and put it on.
Hakuba also consciously took a pair of Gloves from Takagi's Pocket and put them on.
Conan was one step late, and looked up at Police Officer Takagi.
Police Officer Takagi lowered his Head and looked at his Pocket, should he bring a few more pairs of spare Gloves another day?
Why do These Detective all like to casually take Gloves from his Pocket...
Conan looked at Police Officer Takagi, turned around and went to Chi Feichei's side, "Brother Chi..."
Chi Feichei withdrew his Line of Sight from looking at the Ceiling, while walking towards the Window, took out a Plastic Bag containing Medical Gloves from his Pocket and gave it to Conan.
Conan decisively took it.
Ayumi, Mitsuhiko, Genta: "Brother Chi..."
"Nothing Else," Chi Feichei said, "Use your own Handkerchiefs."
The three Children: "..."
Conan secretly smirked, he knew, since Chi Feichei brought Gloves, he would definitely have a spare pair, but definitely wouldn't bring too many.
Luckily, he was quick!
On the side, Haibara Ai looked at Conan Speechless, and followed Chi Feichei, "What's there to be proud of..."
Conan was taken aback, seemingly there really is nothing to be proud of, investigating the Case is the priority.
Inspector Megure turned his Head Outside the Door and chatted with the Landlord for a few sentences, when he turned back, he saw that a Group of people were already running around everywhere in the Room, and immediately frowned.
Didn't they say they wouldn't run around and touch Things?
"The Method is probably understood," Chi Feichei walked Outside the Door, "The Traces are quite obvious."
"Indeed!" Conan nodded, followed him out in contemplation, "However, this Method can be done by anyone, and anyone could have done it..."
"According to this, the other three people don't have Alibi, and there's no need for them to do this," Hakuba also took off his Gloves and walked Outside the Door, "The only one who has Alibi, Brother Toshiya, is instead the most suspicious, but he can't do it either."
Haibara Ai: "..."
Police Officer Takagi: "..."
Inspector Megure: "..."
Are these three being a bit too arrogant?
They only went in for a few minutes and are walking out, Crime Method understood? And Traces are quite obvious?
"No, there's still another suspicious person," Chi Feichei corrected Hakuba's Reasoning.
"Another one?" Hakuba was puzzled.
Conan also thought for a moment, and then he and Hakuba were stunned together, with a look of 'I Understand'.
"Speaking of which..." Conan thought for a moment again, and looked at Chi Feichei, "That Thing was originally in the Room, seemingly can't be Evidence..."
Hakuba also looked at Chi Feichei, "Even if only one person's Fingerprint is found on the Plastic Sheet and Adhesive Tape, it can't explain anything, it can be said that the Culprit wore Gloves..."
Chi Feichei leaned against the Door Frame in Silence.
Lacking the final piece of Evidence to prove their Reasoning.
Fallen into a dead end? At this point, according to the 'Conan logic' Routine, there should be a...
Hmm?
This angle and Direction...
Okay, coincidental Evidence has appeared.
Chi Feichei raised his Eyes and saw the Window opposite the Entrance Hall, reminding the other two, "Evidence."
Hakuba and Conan turned their Heads to look, their Eyes lit up.
Hakuba's lips curled into a smile, still staring at the Window, "Now it's already late, it would be best to come back Tomorrow, right?"
"I'm busy Tomorrow," Chi Feichei said.
Conan hesitated for a moment, "I'm also busy Tomorrow."
Hakuba choked, touched his chin, "Hmm... then let's use a Searchlight?"
"That..." Police Officer Takagi chuckled dryly.
What are these three talking about?
"I'm saying..." Inspector Megure also glanced at the three people with Half-Moon Eyes.
Could you speak human language that we can understand?
"Ah, Sorry," Hakuba smiled apologetically at Megure and Police Officer Takagi, and looked at Chi Feichei again, "Then..."
"I'm not interested in Deduction," Chi Feichei went straight out of the Room.
"Good work, Brother Hakuba~!" Conan said to Hakuba with a smile, and also turned around and followed Chi Feichei to Go Out.
Since someone is doing the Deduction, he should still keep a low profile...
Hakuba asked Inspector Megure, puzzled, "Do all Detective in Tokyo not like Deduction?"
"Uh, no..." A person popped into Inspector Megure's mind.
Previously there was a person who quite liked Deduction, but that person disappeared, afterwards Mori Kogoro also quite liked Deduction, but occasionally when Mori Kogoro wasn't around, and it was Chi Feichei instead, Deduction became inactive.
"Weird, before seeing that High School Detective called Kudo Shinichi, seemingly he liked to be in the Limelight," Hakuba muttered in Doubt, and didn't delay any further, looked at Police Officer Takagi, "Police Officer Takagi, sorry to trouble you..."
