Chapter 451 Brother Hichiji, Stop Playing
Here appeared an imposter Mori Kogoro, who arrived three hours ago, took the briefcase, occupied the room booked by Mori Kogoro, and even impersonated Mori Kogoro to sign for the Shop Owner of the Hotel...
"Whether or Not to beat him up?" Chi Feichei turned his head to ask Ran.
Ran had already silently rolled up her sleeves, her face serious, and nodded heavily, "Yeah!"
Conan sweated, if these two were to give a double beatdown... would that imposter Uncle fellow still survive?
"Wait, wait," Mori Kogoro hurriedly pulled one with each hand, pulling them to the side, "Doesn't this kind of Plot appear in TV Drama, where an imposter swindles and cheats and encounters the real person..."
Saying that, Mori Kogoro also pushed his Sunglasses, expectantly saying, "Endure what is unbearable for a moment! When that Fellow calls everyone over for random Reasoning, I will suddenly appear and use grand pronouncements to expose that Fellow, surprising everyone~!"
"What kind of stupid Idea is that?" Ran Half-Moon Eyes.
Shancun Cao leaned over, looking expectantly at Mori Kogoro, "That's really great! Please be sure to let me lend you a hand!"
"Right?" Mori Kogoro said smugly, "Hahaha..."
"Never Mind, I'm too lazy to bother with you guys!" Ran Speechless turned around and walked away first.
Chi Feichei was a little regretful, if they don't fight now, how can he bring himself to do it later when it's cold...
Boss Enta Yoshiro prepared to register and asked, "By the Way, sir, may I ask what your Name is?"
Mori Kogoro turned to look at the Boss, pushed his Sunglasses, and pretended to be profound, "Just consider me Echigo Mitsuemon, an insignificant little person..."
Shancun Cao chimed in from the side, "Right, right, just that kind of hermit-like person!"
"Just give us the cheapest Room will do!" Mori Kogoro said.
"Sir," the Shopkeeper Jinbo Masao who went to help park the Car earlier entered the Door, handing a Mobile Phone to Mori Kogoro, "Your Daughter seems to have left her Mobile Phone in the Car, is this your Daughter's?"
Mori Kogoro took it and looked at it, "Yes, thank you."
"You've really worked Hard!" Shancun Cao followed up with a smile.
Chi Feichei glanced at Jinbo Masao, looked at the Shop Owner Enta Yoshiro, just as he was about to report his Name, Enta Yoshiro said with a smile, "Police Officer sir, no need, since you're here for Investigation, just consider it my treat!"
Police Officer?
Conan, Mori Kogoro, Haibara Ai turned their heads to look at Chi Feichei, stunned for a moment, then Realize.
Originally, Mori Kogoro was bringing the four of them over, having told the Hotel Boss in advance, and then the Hotel Boss took the imposter Mori Kogoro as real, while Haibara Ai, Conan, Mouri Ran, and the real Mori Kogoro were the four people he was bringing.
As For Chi Feichei...
He was taken as a Police Officer.
Mori Kogoro couldn't help but size up Chi Feichei again and again, why was his Disciple taken as a Police Officer? Where does he look like a Police Officer?
Conan could only chuckle dryly, probably because Chi Feichei exuded an Aura of being too calm and composed, making people think he was a Police Officer?
"But you are really young," Enta Yoshiro also said with a sigh, leaning closer to Chi Feichei's ear, and said in a low voice, "Bringing Subordinates who look so unreliable, it must be very Hard, right?"
Shancun Cao: "..."
What does this Boss mean?
A bit unbearable.
Mori Kogoro pulled Shancun Cao, and muttered in a low voice, "Plan, Plan."
Shancun Cao took a deep breath, he endured it.
Chi Feichei, on the other hand, nodded calmly, "It's alright."
Conan: "..."
Haibara Ai: "..."
Acting really natural.
Mori Kogoro was worried that Shancun Cao's impulsiveness would ruin their 'Plan', pulled Shancun Cao and walked away first, "Later we'll go take a Bath, and then have a drink together!"
"Ah? No, no, I'm still on Duty..." Shancun Cao hurriedly said.
Haibara Ai said in a low voice with a wooden face, "He really is easily distracted..."
On the way to the Room, Ran realized the Problem with the number of people, "Weird... Father Called the Hotel before, saying there would be five of us in total, we here, besides Police Officer Shancun, are clearly five people, plus that imposter that's six, doesn't the Boss think it's Weird?"
Conan was about to explain, but Chi Feichei spoke first.
"The number of people Ghost can bewilder is limited," Chi Feichei's voice was chillingly quiet, "Those who are not bewildered, naturally cannot See me."
Ran froze for a second, and screamed, "Ahhh!"
Haibara Ai: "..."
Brother Hichiji, Stop Playing.
Shancun Cao also turned his head to look at Chi Feichei with a horrified face, instantly retreating to the Wall, "Ahhh!"
Conan: "..."
Hey hey, Police Officer Shancun knows the Boss misunderstood, right, why is he still so scared?
...
Arrived at the Room...
"Because I didn't Realize it for a moment," Shancun Cao said as a matter of course, "Mr. Chi's Indifference Expression and eerie Sound just now were really too much like a Ghost!"
Ran looked at Chi Feichei resentfully, "In short, Brother Hichiji is not allowed to scare people anymore."
"I think only Older Sister Ran was scared." Conan laughed.
This little thing, he just... uh... Ran's Gaze is a bit dangerous.
"Actually, I'm also a little scared," Conan immediately changed his words blankly, "Or rather, let's not talk about it..."
"Then I'll go take a Bath first," Chi Feichei went to the Compartment, took out a small Travel Bag, and handed it to Haibara Ai, "Yukata, Slippers, Towel, Toothbrush, Comb, Mosquito Repellent, Band-aid, Cold Medicine, Anti-Inflammatory Medicine, Bandage, Compass, Water Bag, Whistle, Small Knife, Chocolate..."
"Chocolate?" Ran glanced sideways.
"Not as Snacks," Chi Feichei said, "If you get lost in the Wilderness and there's no Food around, it can replenish Heat to last until Rescue."
Ran: "..."
Haibara Ai silently took it.
She knew, since Chi Feichei said there's No Need to bring anything, then there really is No Need to bring anything.
Even Wilderness survival is enough...
"There's also a Rubber Duck for Children to play with while bathing." Chi Feichei added.
Haibara Ai was stunned: "..."
This one is No Need, right?
Ran looked at Haibara Ai with a smile, "Ai, then let's go take a Bath later too."
"Then I'll go with Brother Chi." Conan also started packing his Things, having forgotten to bring his Yukata, he was a little sad.
Haibara Ai rummaged through the small Travel Bag, found the Rubber Duck, and handed it to Edogawa, "Edogawa, for you."
Ran laughed, "Ai is really sensible, but..."
"It's okay," Haibara Ai said with a calm Face, "He Seemingly was a little unhappy just now because he didn't bring his Yukata, just consider the Rubber Duck as my gift to him."
Conan glanced at Haibara Ai.
This Reason she came up with...
"No Need, Conan's is here with me." Chi Feichei took out a Rubber Duck from his Travel Bag, returned Haibara Ai's one back to her, and handed the one in his hand to Conan.
Haibara Ai: "..."
Still can't Dodge it.
Conan: "..."
No one can escape.
...
Arrived outside the Bathhouse, Conan turned his Head to look at the Women's Bath side, "There's a Sign saying 'Cleaning in Progress' at the Entrance, it seems Older Sister Ran and them will have to wait a while."
"Yeah." Chi Feichei Looked, and stepped into the Bathhouse first.
He doesn't really like taking a Bath with Men, considering Conan is a Kid, he'll let it slide.
Anyway... it's not the first time.
If it were Mori Kogoro, he would definitely not be able to resist kicking the person out with one Foot.
After entering the Bath in the Bathhouse, Chi Feichei leaned against the Wall, holding his Mobile Phone in his right Hand, flipping through the News, occasionally replying to Emails.
He ran out to Travel, naturally it was after confirming that Fulante over there doesn't need Disguise recently.
The Matter in America, a Few Days Ago it was already arranged almost completely, recently only needs a little adjustment.
In addition, the two pieces of Intelligence provided by Saki Midorikawa also don't need him to worry about, throw them to the intelligence personnel to reconfirm the Information of those two Fellows.
Yingqu Yan Nan disliked staring at the Construction Site construction all the time as too boring, and also ran off to play Investigation, he also let Yingqu Yan Nan join in the fun.
The Matter of him coming to Gunma Prefecture, he also Said it to The Boss.
The Boss Said that he doesn't restrict his Activity Location, but if he wants to run outside, he still has to Say a word.
One is for convenience of Arrangement, For Example if somewhere in Tokyo needs Personnel, The Boss knows he's not in Tokyo, so he can directly contact people in Tokyo, if there's any urgent Matter in Gunma, he can also conveniently let him go over to handle it.
Two is to avoid him dying without even knowing where he died... cough, saying die is a bit exaggerated, if he dies there will definitely be Rumors, but if he's kidnapped, arrested, or something like that, it's hard to say, knowing roughly where he is, at least it's convenient to arrange Rescue, or, Silencing.
Conan occasionally glanced at Chi Feichei, then silently turned his Head back, chasing the Rubber Duck floating on the Water surface, wading back and forth in the Hot Water.
He never Dreamed that the Rubber Duck would actually come in handy.
Taking a Bath with Chi Feichei is really so boring.
It was the same last time when they went to Izu to see the Fireworks Festival a long time ago, Chi Feichei didn't chat with him about everything under the sun, didn't rub his back, this time it's even more excessive, he's been playing with his Mobile Phone the whole time.
Sigh, Ran Next Door will definitely rub Haibara's back, taking a Bath with Ran, Ran would also rub his back, unlike Chi Feichei, who completely lets him swim freely...
Chi Feichei replied to an Email, just as he was about to Check Whether or Not Conan was feeling bored, he raised his eyes and saw Conan chasing the Rubber Duck with great enthusiasm, and withdrew his Line of Sight again.
Famous Detective is really childish sometimes, he can play with Children's Toys so enthusiastically...
Conan chased the Rubber Duck for a while, then Reached Out to press the Rubber Duck down, watched the Rubber Duck float to the Water surface, pressed it down, watched it float up, then pressed it down again...
After playing for a while, he started to pinch the Rubber Duck to make it squeak...
Chasing and pinching, pressing and pinching, chasing and pressing...
Chi Feichei had finished soaking, Got Up, and put on his Yukata, turned his Head back and found Conan was still playing with the Rubber Duck, reminding him, "Conan, stop playing, soaking for too long is not good for your Body."
Conan hurriedly stopped his childish Behavior, and waded to the side of the Bath.
"If you like to take it Home to play with, it's yours." Chi Feichei turned around to take a Towel and wipe his Hair.
Conan Half-Moon Eyes: "..."
Who likes it? Isn't it just because taking a Bath with Chi Feichei is boring to death?
Not to mention Ran, taking a Bath with Uncle is more interesting than taking a Bath with Chi Feichei!
...
The two returned to the Room, Mouri Ran and Haibara Ai were not there.
The Table was filled with Dishes and liquor, Mori Kogoro and Shancun Cao had already started drinking.
"Oh my, Mr. Mouri is really amazing!" Shancun Cao was already red-faced from drinking.
Conan muttered, "Didn't you Say no drinking on Duty?"
"What do you Kid know? Men's Friendship is all drunk out!" Mori Kogoro was full of Liquor smell, raised his eyes and glanced, saw Chi Feichei in a black Yukata, with an Indifference Expression, sobered up a bit, mentally Teasing him as Black Impermanence, but quickly didn't think too much, and greeted, "Hassashi, Whether or Not to come have a drink together? The Sake in this Shop is very good!"
"Mr. Mouri is right," Shancun Cao raised his Wine Glass with a chuckle, "Drink!"
"Drink!" Mori Kogoro clinked his Cup with Shancun Cao, and very heartily drank it all in one gulp.
Chi Feichei stepped forward and sat down, picked up a bottle of Liquor and looked at it.
Very delicate small porcelain bottle, thin neck, no Sake Level marked, and he doesn't Don't Know Whether or Not it's blended with Alcohol, but smelling the Fragrance, it should be pure rice brewing.
Drank it all in one breath.
The Taste is a bit sweet.
He also Don't Know what the Alcohol Tolerance of those two people is, two bottles of Liquor around 15 Degree, plus two bottles of Beer, and they can get drunk like this...
"Cough..." Conan was almost choked.
He could see it now, in terms of Alcohol Tolerance, ten Mori Kogoros tied together are not Chi Feichei's Opponent.
