Chapter 562 Akai Shuichi: He's Back Again!
"At the Metropolitan Police Department, the Investigation Record of Mr. Mouri and Mr. Chi's past case involvements in Tokyo have all vanished without a trace," Wataru Takagi said in a puzzled and heavy tone, continuing in a low voice, "The copies of those case investigations were kept by Manager Matsumoto, so the court hearing wasn't affected, but surprisingly, last night, those Documents were returned to the Metropolitan Police Department, completely untouched, and there was no Signature on the Envelope..."
Conan suppressed the surprise in his heart, "When did those Investigation Records go missing?"
"Hmm... it seems like..." Wataru Takagi recalled, "The day the Bus was hijacked."
Conan's expression could no longer hold, changing again and again.
"Originally, we thought that maybe someone involved in the Cases Mr. Mouri and Mr. Chi participated in held a grudge and wanted to retaliate against them, but in the end, we couldn't find out the result. We were also considering whether or not to send people to protect their Safety..." Wataru Takagi laughed again, "Ah, but it might also be someone's Prank. In short, if you discover any suspicious people near the Mouri Detective Agency or beside Mr. Chi, be sure to Report to Police immediately!"
No...
Conan watched Wataru Takagi continue to investigate the Case, standing in Original Place with a grim face.
This isn't a Prank, nor is it aimed at Uncle Mori and Chi Feichei...
The Case Investigation Records of Uncle and Chi Feichei being stolen might be because someone suspects Uncle's Reasoning isn't that strong, but rather due to Chi Feichei's Impact. The person who did this cannot be pinpointed.
However, the Investigation Record went missing on the day the Bus was hijacked, and Haibara sensed the Aura of the Organization's people on the Bus at that time.
The person who did this is very likely someone from that Organization.
Otherwise, why would the Investigation Record be stolen at that specific time, neither earlier nor later? Was it when Haibara was likely seen as abnormal by the Organization's people?
The Black Shadow of that Organization is slowly approaching them, and then suddenly returning the Investigation Record... It's a Threat!
It's practically telling him, or Haibara: We have a good grasp of your Situation, and we've also contacted people around you, right? If you don't want anything to happen to them, then obediently come out and face death!
This is hitting the Vital Point accurately...
Conan secretly glanced at Haibara Ai, who was talking to Doctor Agasa over there.
Then, even more so, he can't let that Fellow Haibara know.
Otherwise, with that Fellow's Personality, she might really go to their Door.
Also, Chi Feichei suddenly left today, although it's reasonable to say he had urgent Matters to deal with, he didn't notice any abnormal Emotion in Chi Feichei...
"Really... Brother Chi's Expression was very bad..." Ayumi whispered to Genta and Mitsuhiko over there.
Conan was taken aback, and quickly walked over, "Ayumi, you said Brother Chi's Expression was very bad? When... was it?"
"It was when we were at the Entrance of Poirot Cafe earlier," Ayumi said with some worry, "I wanted to ask him if he would come investigate with us, and when I looked up, I saw him staring at his Mobile Phone, his Expression was very bad, because it's rare to see Brother Chi with such a bad Expression..."
"So we were thinking, if he said something happened, it definitely wasn't a small Trouble," Mitsuhiko stroked his chin, "But since he's unwilling to tell us, he wouldn't say even if we asked."
Genta nodded in agreement, "That's right, afterwards when he talked to us, I didn't notice anything wrong with his Expression..."
Ayumi couldn't help but state again, "I really saw it, I wouldn't misread it."
"But..." Mitsuhiko scratched his head with a smile, "Even if we knew about Business matters, we wouldn't be able to help much... Huh?"
Conan turned and ran out the Door, took out his Mobile Phone to Call Chi Feichei, feeling uneasy in his heart.
If he encountered some big Trouble, then it might also be...
The Phone Call connected.
"Hello?"
The calm and cold voice was familiar, making Conan breathe a sigh of relief, but how should he explain to Chi Feichei the Reason for calling?
"Uh... that... Brother Chi, it's me, Conan, we encountered a Case," Conan quickly found an Excuse, "If you're not busy, are you interested in coming over to investigate?"
Chi Feichei: "No Interest."
Conan choked, okay, he knew that Fellow Chi Feichei never showed Face when rejecting people, but then he heard sounds of movement over there, "Are you not at Home?"
"At Home, changing Furniture at Home, you guys go investigate the Case yourselves."
"O-okay..."
"Beep..."
Conan looked at the Mobile Phone in contemplation.
If it were Business Troubles, would Chi Feichei's Expression become even worse?
At least since he's known him, Chi Feichei has never had a bad Expression because of Business matters.
Even when THK Company was just established and was being attacked, that Fellow had already dug Pits, thought of Countermeasures for Counterattack and breaking the Scheme, and could even point out Odagiri Toshiya's problem of being blindly anxious.
Calm and composed, handling things with ease, it's as if everything is under control, making people unconsciously calm down with him.
No matter how he thought about it, Chi Feichei couldn't possibly lose his composure because of Business matters.
But it's not impossible either, what if some tricky Troublesome Matters came up, it's possible that Chi Feichei might reveal a bit of Emotion, when THK Company was just established, maybe Chi Feichei was also anxious on the way here?
As for the Sound over the Phone, although changing Furniture is a bit strange, he really couldn't be sure if Chi Feichei had this habit, or maybe he suddenly wanted to change new Furniture and just changed it, that's also possible.
Because that Fellow Chi Feichei is not short of Money...
And hanging up the Phone quickly is also Chi Feichei's consistent Style, it can't prove anything.
"Conan, what are you doing here?"
Three Little Heads poked out at the Entrance.
Conan snapped back to reality, "Uh, nothing..."
Never mind, first quickly solve this Case.
...
Investigation, Reasoning, demonstrating the Method... after a Procedure, the sky also darkened.
"Then I'll go Home first!"
Conan hurriedly went out the Door, dialing the Mouri Detective Agency's Phone on the Street.
Chi Feichei's side is unfathomable, leave it for now, but the Agency's side...
Not getting through?!
At Goda Hideo's House, Haibara Ai thoughtfully watched Conan leave in a hurry.
Suddenly going downstairs to the Cafe with Chi Feichei to Whisper...
Suddenly Whispering with Police Officer Takagi...
Suddenly running out the Door to Call, and then running back so urgently...
Conan is hiding something from her!
Could something have happened?
Something related to the Organization?
Doctor Agasa looked at Haibara Ai, "I think we..."
"Doctor, can you lend me your Mobile Phone? I left mine at Home and didn't bring it," Haibara Ai said calmly, "I'll ask Brother Hichiji if his Matters have been handled well."
"Oh, okay!" Doctor Agasa didn't suspect anything else, and handed the Mobile Phone to Haibara Ai.
Haibara Ai calmed down in her Heart, and dialed with a solemn Expression.
Then...
It connected quickly.
"Doctor?"
"Brother Hichiji, it's me," Haibara Ai breathed a sigh of relief in her Heart, it seems like nothing happened, "I wanted to ask, have your Matters been resolved over there... not yet? By the way, what did Edogawa say to you at the Cafe earlier? Go-Gossip? ... Then is there something going on at the Mouri Detective Agency... Horse Racing Upset, going to have a Feast? Are you going? Tomorrow? I see..."
Hanging up the Phone Call.
Haibara Ai was confused.
Conan is in a hurry to go Home, is it to have a Feast?
Brother Hichiji suddenly left, is it because the Matters are really tricky?
Earlier at the Cafe, was it also to Gossip about whether Brother Hichiji and that Female Celebrity had any Connection?
No, something is still not right.
...
On the other side, Conan ran while constantly Calling the Landline Phone of the Mouri Detective Agency.
Finding that he couldn't get through all the time, he completely panicked in his Heart.
After making several Phone Calls, he changed the Number and Called Chi Feichei.
It also connected quickly.
"What is it again?"
"Uh, no... nothing, that... the Detective Agency's Phone is not connecting..."
"An Hour ago, Teacher Mouri called and said he had a big Upset in Horse Racing, asking if I wanted to go over for a Meal. If I went, I would definitely drink Liquor with Teacher Mouri, but my Mother is coming back Tomorrow, and I want to Rest earlier tonight, so I refused. They probably went out to buy Food Ingredients to prepare a Feast."
Listening to Chi Feichei's voice, Conan also calmed down a little in his Heart. Seeing the Mouri Detective Agency, he ran Upstairs, "Then I'm going Home, Brother Chi, talk to you another Day!"
He still needs to go Home and Check to feel at ease.
In the Alley beside, Akai Shuichi stood in a Corner where the Detective Agency couldn't be observed, took out a Match and lit a Cigarette.
They were preparing to Surveillance the Situation around Chi Feichei, and Chi Feichei ran to America.
They started to Surveillance the Situation of the Mouri Detective Agency, and Chi Feichei came back again.
That Fellow...
Running back and forth, it's really disrupting the Pace!
The Surveillance here has already started for a while, it's a Pity to give up, but, just now the Little Boy from the Mouri Detective Agency hurried Home, looking very abnormal, and also Called Chi Feichei, should they also consider that side?
Took out his Mobile Phone and made a Phone Call.
"Jodie, it's me... Mr. Chi is back."
"Back?" Jodie felt her Mentality was also a bit broken, "Then our Surveillance Goal..."
"No need to change," Akai Shuichi said, "But that side, you still need to pay attention..."
"Do you want me to move to another Apartment?" Jodie proposed, "The Environment of his Apartment is also very good!"
"I Guess you haven't figured out anything yet, and your background will be figured out by him." Akai Shuichi expressed his disapproval.
"I was joking, buying an Apartment in Tokyo is really too expensive," Jodie said helplessly, "The Apartment he lives in is not for rent, and there are no small rooms, the Price is frighteningly high, there are very few residents there. If it were in America, after communicating with the developers, we could temporarily borrow it, but unfortunately this is in Japan, and we haven't gotten permission for entry Investigation yet..."
Akai Shuichi: "..."
As the FBI, giving up close Surveillance because he can't afford a House, it sounds heartbreaking.
However, this is not buying it for himself to live in, it's just for Surveillance, there really isn't that much Funds to burn.
Even if there is, it can't be burned, it's too wasteful.
"But don't worry, the Apartment I live in is also good, not far from his place, I will find an Opportunity to meet him, and also pay attention to his Movement from those two Girls," Jodie laughed, "Although it's a Pity that I can't Surveillance the Situation on his side from the Window, at least I won't be discovered by him. When facing him, I am very Vigilance."
"Then thank you for your Troublesome."
Akai Shuichi hung up the Phone Call, put away his Mobile Phone, and stared at downstairs of the Mouri Detective Agency, silently smoking.
Why did Chi Feichei run back again?
Isn't it good to stay safely in Boston?
Their people have checked, when Chi Feichei was in Boston, there were Bodyguards everywhere, living in City Center, and there were no suspicious people, why insist on running back to wade into muddy water, doesn't he know that the Situation here is very dangerous and complicated?
Maybe... Households really don't know?
No, he still has to sort out the Clues and see which side is more suitable to Stare at.
Encountering such a Pace-disrupting and difficult person... it wastes more Cigarettes.
