Chapter 464 Light Demon Conan
[Are you going to open a bet on you and me tonight? —Raki (Pinyin name)]
[You can understand this ‘2’ as a ‘V’ gesture. —Gin]
Chi Feichei typed and replied rapidly.
[Sure, next time I go to Britain, do this gesture in the most crowded place to celebrate this big win. —Raki (Pinyin name)]
The scissors gesture has an insulting meaning in Britain, similar to the middle finger for American People. If Gin dares to do this gesture to the crowd in a crowded place in Britain, he will definitely be beaten to death by a group!
He didn't believe Gin didn't know this meaning.
[Almost forgot, the V gesture doesn't have a good meaning in Britain, do you need to rest for a few days? —Gin]
[Don't look for me in the next two days, Fulante is still resting. Before she needs Disguise, I will adjust my State. —Raki (Pinyin name)]
Gin, you petty man.
Wasn't he just making a little trouble last night, wanting to torment everyone for a while…
He actually used a Transfer to secretly provoke him.
After Chi Feichei finished replying, he looked at other people's messages again.
Non-Ink had already arrived in America and was in the same city as Saki Midorikawa, planning to wander around the edge of the city and choose a suitable Stronghold.
Chi Feichei transferred money to Saki Midorikawa, asking Saki Midorikawa to buy a batch of Electronic Device and send it to a Warehouse, and then sent the Address of the Warehouse to Non-Ink.
In the evening, Chi Feichei went to Chinatown again to find a Dining Room and ripped off Kuroba Kaito for a meal. As soon as he got Home, he received a Phone Call from Haibara Ai.
"Brother Hichiji, Doctor said he will take us to Izu Bathing Beach tomorrow," Haibara Ai's voice was very low, as if she was secretly making a Phone Call, "I'm worried that you won't have the energy to take a Group of Children to play, so I called you first to let you know..."
"I have the energy, but not the Mental State," Chi Feichei said truthfully.
His head hurt from the music yesterday, and he just wanted to be alone and quiet for two days.
"Then when Doctor Agasa calls you later to ask you, don't force yourself either."
"Okay, I got it."
After a while, Doctor Agasa indeed called, asking Chi Feichei if he wanted to go to Izu together.
Chi Feichei refused on the grounds that he was busy.
Doctor Agasa didn't force it either.
Not long after the Phone Call ended, Suzuki Sonoko's Phone Call came in again.
"Brother Hichiji! Do you want to go to Izu Beach to play?" Suzuki Sonoko said happily, "It's just you, me, and Ran going, without that Kid from their family. Although you also encounter Cases wherever you go, at least we can play together..."
Chi Feichei: "..."
What do you mean he encounters Cases wherever he goes?
That doesn't exist, it's all Conan's fault.
"And always taking a Kid out to play seriously affects my and Ran's Charm!" Suzuki Sonoko sighed.
"Kyogoku," Chi Feichei reminded.
"That's why he's making me so troubled, he hasn't called me for a long time," Suzuki Sonoko said angrily, "There's a time difference between the two sides, and I'm worried that calling will affect his rest. When he occasionally calls, he just talks about the Competition, he doesn't understand me at all! This time I'm going to find a cute boy and make him jealous!"
"Kyogoku will come back to find Households for a Pk," Chi Feichei said.
Suzuki Sonoko broke into a sweat, and finally became more serious, "Okay, I'm just joking, I just want to take advantage of the Holiday and go out to play with Ran. Don't tell him, okay? So, do you want to go with us?"
"No, I have something to do."
"Okay, okay, then I'll call you next time we go out to play."
After hanging up the Phone Call, Chi Feichei silently called Mr. Oyama.
"Mr. Oyama, please arrange a Yacht for me in Izu... I will drive it myself, I don't want anyone to follow me."
"But you don't have a Yacht License, do you?"
"That's why I'm asking you to arrange it."
"This... Okay, please be careful yourself, remember to press the Alarm Button in case of emergency, and also, when you go to Sea alone, be sure not to dive..."
Mr. Oyama babbled a lot before hanging up the Phone Call to arrange a Yacht for Chi Feichei.
Hassashi asked in confusion, "Master, aren't we not going?"
"It's just that we're not going with them, we're going by ourselves," Chi Feichei said.
...
The next day, Izu, sunny and bright.
A Yacht was parked alone on the Sea, without a fixed Location, drifting with the waves.
A Parasol was set up on the Deck of the Yacht, and Hissashi was dozing off on the Table.
Chi Feichei was wearing Beach Pants, lying on the Chair, closing his Eyes to rest.
Doctor Agasa will bring the Junior Detective League to Izu, and Suzuki Sonoko and Mouri Ran will also come to Izu, and they will probably run into each other.
Then he probably remembered which Incident it was.
In his Memory, the Process of the Incident, the Method of the Murder, who the Culprit was... these were all a bit vague, and he couldn't remember them specifically without taking a Look.
He remembered that in this Plot, Haibara Ai took the initiative to Reach Out to Mouri Ran for the first time and gave a serious Self-introduction.
He was not sure what his existence would change, so he wanted to come over and take a Look to confirm Haibara Ai's Mental State.
And the reason for not playing with that Group of People, one reason was that he wanted to be alone and quiet, and didn't want to care about any Case, and the second reason was...
The Victim of this Case had killed the Culprit's Father and several other people's Fathers when he went to Sea before.
After a sailor let it slip, the Culprit originally intended to Report to Police with that sailor, but this sailor was also Silencing, so the Culprit chose to Kill.
He didn't think it was right to do so, nor did he think it was wrong, and he didn't even like the Culprit's Personality very much, he just didn't want to watch this Incident.
Conan said that Holmes was his idol, the person he was trying to become, but Conan only admired Holmes' Talent and Ability to be as calm as a Reasoning machine, right? Conan probably couldn't understand some of Holmes's practices.
Holmes, outside the Law, also had his own standard of 'Justice', supporting private revenge, and even possibly witnessing the Process of Murder without stopping it.
If the Victim had been harming the Culprit for a long time, or the Culprit had already eliminated the influence, Holmes might choose to stand on the side of Sympathy for the Criminal, which is different from Conan's complete pursuit of Procedure Justice.
In "Milverton", Holmes witnessed the whole Process of the noblewoman Killing Milverton, but because Milverton was full of evil, when Inspector Lestrade sought help, he chose to refuse.
"If we intervene, we may not be able to save this person from Death..."
"Justice defeated the villain, we should not forget our due Responsibility and Purpose..."
Holmes also said, "Inspector Lestrade, I'm afraid I can't help you... I know this Fellow Milverton, I think he is one of the most dangerous figures in London, and I think some Crimes are beyond the reach of the Law, so to some extent, private revenge is justified... No, no need to say more... I have Decided... My Sympathy is on the side of the Criminal, not on the side of the Victim, so I will not handle this Case."
Also, Holmes once let Watson join the jury to help the Culprit captain judge innocent, and also tolerated the Criminal servant...
When Reasoning, Holmes is like a machine with the most perfect Reasoning and Observation. In "The Sign of the Four", he also Said, 'Emotion will affect clear reason', but Holmes also has a Human Touch.
In fact, in all Sherlock Holmes Detective Stories, only 33% of the Criminals were transferred to the Police, 22% were let go by Holmes, 17% of the Criminals died, and 16% of the Criminals escaped.
Some people say that it was the influence of the old London era, when the Law was not so Justice, but Chi Feichei felt that Holmes was always more Human Touch and more willful than Conan.
Conan may be able to become Holmes, but definitely not now.
The current Conan is just a 'Light Demon'.
Like a Demon who cannot understand a little Feeling of People who are deeply trapped in the mire and Darkness, standing in the Light, raising the butcher knife for 'Light Justice' and wanting to destroy all heresies.
Of course, compared to Conan, he is the one who can never become Holmes.
Because he has never regarded becoming Holmes as a Growth benchmark.
He has always felt that this World is a jungle where the weak are prey to the strong, and it is not entirely black and white. There are always many existences that transcend rules and create new rules.
But it doesn't prevent him from liking Holmes as a Detective.
He can't hate People like Conan or Mouri Ran, these People are sometimes quite heartwarming.
And everyone has their own Belief and meaning to exist in the World.
As a Friend, disagree, but it doesn't mean you can't tolerate it.
But being able to tolerate it doesn't mean he is willing to get involved. He felt a Conflict with his own ideas when he watched this part in his previous life. Why should he go to see a live version again and make himself unhappy?
It's better to leisurely fish at Sea and relax...
On the Table, Hissashi, who was lying down, suddenly felt the Fishing Rod resting on the Chair Armrest move, and immediately became energetic, "Master, is there a Fish Hook? Quick, quick, my Dinner is coming!"
Chi Feichei opened his Eyes, Reached Out and took the Fishing Rod, reeling in the line...
The Fish Hook was empty, not only without Fish, but even the original Bait was gone.
"Sigh, it ran away again..." Hissashi sighed.
It just wanted to taste the freshest Sea Fish, and didn't want to eat Frozen Fish in the Yacht Refrigerator.
Master Said he could help it catch one, but this is already the sixth Bait gone, can Master still catch Fish today?
Chi Feichei silently threw the Fish Hook back into the Sea.
Can he admit that he is very bad at fishing?
Absolutely not, he doesn't admit it!
"Master, you didn't put Bait..." Hissashi reminded.
Chi Feichei closed his Eyes again, "The willing take the Bait, the Fish that should be caught can be caught without Bait."
Hissashi tilted his Head and looked at Chi Feichei's calm Face.
The willing take the Bait? Is there such a Statement?
Why does it feel like Master is fooling it in a serious manner?
...
On the Beach in the distance, Doctor Agasa also arrived at the Seaside with five Children who had changed into Swimsuit.
"Be sure to pay attention to Safety when playing in the Water. I'll wait for you on the Shore. Be sure not to leave me too far!" Doctor Agasa instructed.
"We know!"
"Doctor has already Said it many times on the way."
"Doctor, aren't you going to play in the Sea with us?"
In the air, two Seagulls fluttered their Wings, looked down at Doctor Agasa and his Group on the Beach, and chirped at each other.
"Is it These People? They look very similar to the People in the Photo he showed us!"
"One, two, three, four, three, five, there are only five People, aren't there supposed to be six People in total?"
"Really? One, two, two, three, four, four... there are clearly only four, where did five People come from?"
"No, no, there are clearly five!"
"I counted correctly, four!"
"Five!"
The two Seagulls quarreled until the five Children went into the Water to play, and then temporarily stopped.
"No matter how many, we'll know if we get closer and take a Look."
"Okay, then let's go down and take a Look!"
In the Sea below, Conan and Haibara Ai were dragged to play hide-and-seek at Sea with blank expressions.
"Now let's decide who will be 'it' first!" Genta was eager to try, but the next second, he was a little stunned.
Two Seagulls flew down and landed on Haibara Ai's Shoulders, one on each side, turned their Heads, and stared.
Haibara Ai: "..."

"Kyogoku will come back to find Households for a Pk," Chi Feichei said.

"No, I have something to do."
"Okay, okay, then I'll call you next time we go out to play."
