Chapter 507 Akai Shuichi: It's Just... Quite Sudden
In the end, Conan and 'Niide Tomoaki' joined forces, pretending that Wataru Takagi had arrived, causing Sato Miwako to rush out and leave.
A group of people also left the shop after Sato Miwako left.
As for Ninzaburo Shiratori... he would probably still be standing in the White Crane Room, feeling lost for a while.
Conan pulled Mao Mu Yao Shi to talk, "Mr. Mogi, why did you join the FFF Group?"
"Well..." Mao Mu Yao Shi explained from the side.
It was time for Chi Feichei to leave too. After saying goodbye to the group, he found a Taxi on the pretext of hailing a Car.
Belmode, wearing 'Niide Tomoaki's face, watched Chi Feichei get into the Car, a gentle smile on her Face, but the smile in her eyes gradually disappeared.
Bow Tie Voice Changer...
Sleeping Kogoro...
It seems that the one doing the Reasoning is not Mori Kogoro, but a Famous Detective hiding in the Dark Place.
Does Raki know this?
She guessed that Raki probably knew.
Perhaps... Raki was also instructing Conan to use Mori Kogoro for Reasoning.
Raki was not suspicious of Conan, probably because her own Reasoning Ability was too strong.
When Raki was around, Conan had no chance to perform at all, so he didn't attract Raki's suspicion much.
And even if Conan sometimes behaved differently from ordinary Children, in Raki's eyes, that cleverness was probably nothing.
Looking at it this way, Raki's intelligence is actually a good thing, not only suppressing the performance desire of a certain Fellow who can't control himself when he encounters a Mystery, but also having a different standard of measurement for 'normal' than ordinary people.
However, there are still hidden dangers.
Sherry is the biggest hidden danger.
Raki has never seen Sherry as a Child, nor has she seen photos of Sherry as a Child. Even if she finds a Child who looks like Sherry, she will only treat it as a coincidence.
Moreover, before Raki joined the Organization, she probably already knew the Target. First impressions are strongest, and she wouldn't think that the Child she knew was an Adult whose Body had become smaller.
Smart people are hard to deceive, but they are also arrogant enough. Once they are deceived, it is difficult to get them to overturn conclusions they believe are correct.
But that's only temporary.
Judging from Raki's past History, Raki is much more mature and steady than her peers. She is not overly arrogant, and is also too cautious. Once she discovers Suspicious Point that are enough to make her doubt her own conclusions, she will definitely start Investigation.
Sherry is too involved with the Organization. The Organization will definitely investigate to the end. Keeping her here is a time bomb sooner or later.
As long as Sherry dies, the Investigation ends, and the Organization's Attention will shift. Coupled with her cover-up and other Matters of the Organization diverting Raki's Attention, Conan will always be a 'smart, mature, and sensible' Child in Raki's mind.
Yes, just like Raki in Childhood, a Child whose Ideology is too mature and out of place with her peers.
As long as Conan doesn't court death... Raki will more or less favor and take care of him a little.
"Doctor?" Mouri Ran looked at the absent-minded 'Niide Tomoaki' in confusion, "What's wrong?"
Belmode came back to her senses, withdrew her Gaze, and smiled, "It's nothing."
"Are you reluctant to part with Brother Hichiji?" Mouri Ran smiled and sighed, "Although Brother Hichiji usually has things to do and can't often go out to play with us, but the Feeling of him being in Tokyo and being far away is indeed different..."
"Yes, it is."
Belmode echoed.
'I tried to trap it in a cage, but I can no longer control it. Once it appears, it will tear me apart, destroy me. Why doesn't anyone come to rescue me and end all this...'
Thinking of these, she couldn't bear to see such a person disappear from the World.
She was afraid of Raki's cold-bloodedness, sometimes even her own Heart felt chills, and she admired Raki's talent, but she also felt that she had never seen through this Man, like a Mystery, making people daunted.
In addition to the Conflict, there was also a trace of regret.
If Raki hadn't joined the Organization, it would have been a very good thing.
Whether for Conan, for Mouri Ran, for Raki, for her, or for others, it would be so.
She could have done something at the beginning, but she stood on the side of fueling the flames, trying to profit from it, but it was just spinning a cocoon and trapping herself, harming others and herself.
...
On the Road ahead, a Car drove out and followed the departing Taxi.
Akai Shuichi drove the Car, paying attention to the group of people in the Rearview Mirror.
Here they come again.
Belmode was once again staring in the Direction Chi Feichei left, revealing this kind of unfathomable Gaze.
Contemplation, fear, but not just fear, there was more complexity that he couldn't decipher.
A Few Days Ago, he grasped a Clue—on the day of the Bus hijacking case, the Case files of Kogoro Mouri and Chi Feichei involved in case Investigation in the Police Department were stolen.
It seemed like two Targets were set up, like Smoke Bomb thrown out, but he could Judgment that whether it was Mori Detective Agency or Chi Feichei, the final Intention was directly aimed at the Real Target—Sherry.
Should he choose to Surveillance Mori Detective Agency, or Surveillance Chi Feichei?
There are three people in Mori Detective Agency. On the surface, it seems more important, but more people also Mean that Attention is dispersed, and he feels that Chi Feichei's importance is no less than the sum of those three people at Mori Detective Agency.
This is Intuition, and also a Judgment based on evidence.
Belmode initially tried to contact Chi Feichei. After the Beika Hotel incident, the Female Celebrity suddenly disappeared from public Line of Sight, changed her skin, and even at the Risk of being discovered Opening, she still hadn't given up contacting Chi Feichei, such a Keenness Man...
If you want to find Sherry, you can find her by staring at Mori Detective Agency or Chi Feichei, but staring at Chi Feichei should be more effective.
What Akai Shuichi didn't know was that his Deduction had a slight Deviation.
For Example, Belmode sometimes wanted to test and Understand Chi Feichei, creating some Opportunity, using the Identity of 'Niide Tomoaki' to test, but sometimes she didn't want to see Chi Feichei, but she just happened to meet him. What could she do? She was also very helpless...
For another Example, Belmode's Investigation of Chi Feichei was not for finding Sherry at all, and she would even avoid finding Sherry from Chi Feichei's side. It was purely for Investigation and Understanding. Putting Chi Feichei's Photo on the Target was because Chi Feichei was involved in this Matter, but Chi Feichei's Photo was different from the Meaning of other Photos...
However, although there was Deviation in the Process, the conclusion was very correct.
In the Situation where they also Don't Know they are being Tracking and Surveillance, if you want to find Sherry, the effectiveness ranking of Surveillance of four people is definitely Chi Feichei > Conan > Mouri Ran > Mori Kogoro.
When Chi Feichei is not around, Haibara Ai will not casually run to Mori Detective Agency, but when Chi Feichei is resting, he will really run to Doctor Agasa's House, or take Haibara Ai out to play.
Of course, the premise is 'Chi Feichei Don't Know he is being Tracking Surveillance'.
In the sky, a gray and ugly Sparrow crossed Akai Shuichi's Car, flapping its Wings, chirping and flying past the Car Window of the Taxi in front.
Chi Feichei raised his eyes, saw the Car behind from the Rearview Mirror of the Taxi, did not stare down, withdrew his Gaze, took out his Mobile Phone to Check the incoming call, and answered.
"Mother? I'm on my way to the Airport..."
...
In the Rear, Akai Shuichi followed all the way, looked at the Route, and was a little puzzled.
The Road leaving Beihu Town?
It's so late, where is Chi Feichei going?
Never mind, just follow him.
Belmode only dares to contact Chi Feichei indirectly, then they will directly target the core and strive to lock down Sherry's Location first!
Two Cars drove one after another onto the Street with heavy traffic. The Car behind followed the Taxi far behind, all the way to...
Haneda Airport.
Chi Feichei got out of the Taxi and went directly into the Airport.
Akai Shuichi parked the Car Roadside and walked into the Airport naturally.
More than ten minutes later, Chi Feichei passed through the Gate and went smoothly.
Akai Shuichi Judgment that this was taking a Private Plane, but he still pretended not to know and stepped forward to ask.
"Excuse me, is this the Flight to Kyushu?"
"No, it's to Boston, America, and this is not open to the public. They are all Private Flight. Today's Flight to Kyushu should be at the Gate area to the left and straight ahead..."
"Thank You."
Akai Shuichi mixed into the Crowd, watched the Airplane to America take off, watched for a long time before withdrawing his Gaze, turned around and left the Airport, returned to the Car, and lit a Cigarette.
This is... quite sudden.
They just arrived in Japan from America, locked the Target, and were investigating, but the next Target ran to America?
They definitely can't follow him back.
He needs to sort out his confused thoughts.
A Phone Call came in, he looked at it, and answered.
"Shu, it's me..." Jodie said, "You sent a Text Message before saying that you have locked down Mr. Chi's whereabouts and confirmed that the next Tracking Target is him, right? How is the Situation?"
"No, change the original Plan."
Akai Shuichi took a puff of Cigarette, looked at the brightly lit Airport Lobby outside the Car Window, and felt a twisting pain in his Stomach, "I lost track of him."
"Huh?" Jodie was surprised, her originally leisurely Tone became serious and earnest, "Even you lost track of him? Did he find out? Do you want me to Help?"
"He shouldn't have found out he was being Tracking," Akai Shuichi said, "But he just boarded a Airplane and went to America."
Jodie: "..."
Went... went to America?
"If you want to Help, you probably have to go back to America," Akai Shuichi relaxed his Tone and joked.
"Forget it, I don't want to give up that Rotten Apple," Jodie said, and then hesitated, "Do you think... we should follow him?"
"No Need..." Akai Shuichi sorted out his thoughts and continued, "He is on the Target list, and he is indeed being investigated and contacted. Our previous Judgment should be correct. His departure at this time may be to leave for other Matters, or he may have noticed something, but no matter what, his departure is not a bad thing."
"But, didn't you say that you can find the Real Target faster through him?" Jodie was a little anxious.
"That's true, but the Clue is not broken, and there is also Detective Mori's side," Akai Shuichi said, "And after he leaves, the Situation will become simpler, and we don't have to worry about who to Surveillance. Staring at Mori Detective Agency will definitely have gains! Of course, you also need to inquire about what he is going to America for. The two Girls who are studying at Teitan High School should know. Check if there are any Abnormality Situation. He should be going to Boston, and also contact Colleagues in America to confirm the Situation."
"You suspect that people from the Organization will attack him in America?" Jodie asked.
"Not sure, that's why we need to confirm the Situation." Akai Shuichi said.
"Then do you want our people to Surveillance his Movement?" Jodie asked again.
Akai Shuichi thought for a while, "Although in America, FBI Action will be more convenient, it's best not to alarm him. It's not that easy to Surveillance him, and I'm not comfortable letting other people go. His Parents have a large network of contacts in America. If he knows that the FBI is investigating him privately, we might be in Troublesome. Let's confirm the Situation first. He is going on a long trip, he should pay Attention to Security Force. I don't think it will be easy for the Organization to deal with him."
"Okay, I Understand!"
Hanging up the Phone Call.
Both of them were silent.
The Target's whereabouts were locked, but the Target ran to America again...
Every Investigation involving Chi Feichei is not smooth, and Accidents always happen. Can they avoid it as much as possible in the future?
Is this person poisonous? Completely doesn't play by the Routine...
