Chapter 577 Doctor Agasa's Task Was Stolen
"Doctor?" Conan turned his head back.
Doctor Agasa saw that Chi Feichei and his group were by the Dining Table, some distance away from them, and with the Host's voice covering their Whispering, they wouldn't be able to hear. He bent down and said in a low voice, "One of the Game Stage was designed with your Old Dad's help, set in London at the End of Century. He thought you would definitely like it. Moreover, when we were in Boston, Doctor, Yusaku, and Hassashi specially discussed this Game and spent a lot of effort!"
"When you were in Boston, you were busy with this?" Conan Speechless Teasing his Old Dad, "My Old Dad really likes that era."
"Say So, Brother Hichiji already knows the Game content?" Haibara Ai asked, "Then in the Game, wouldn't he be considered someone with a Game Walkthrough? If we follow him closely, we can clear the Game?"
"Yusaku didn't tell him the Story design, just discussed the Situation in London during that period and the overall Plan of the Game," Doctor Agasa corrected Smilingly, "He also doesn't know the Story development and the Murderer's Identity. Following him may not necessarily lead to an easy Game clear!"
"Really?" Haibara Ai looked Calm, "I think, if the Game is about Solve a Case, following Brother Hichiji can really clear the Game easily."
Doctor Agasa had to admit, and laughed dryly, "Say So Also Correct."
Conan raised his Fighting Spirit and Interest, "Then after entering the Game, I will participate separately from him, and use this Game as the Stage to compete again!"
Haibara Ai Teasingly said, "It seems Brother Hichiji went to Boston for a while, and some people have recovered from the blow and started to become restless again."
Conan: "..."
Don't mention Previously, everyone can still be good Friends!
Doctor Agasa suddenly Realized one Matter, the Smilingly expression on his Face disappeared, he leaned closer to Conan and Haibara Ai's ears, lowering his voice even further, "By the Way, when you came here today, was there anything Weird about Hassashi's Emotion?"
"No," Conan Teasingly said, "Still Same as Previously, besides, how can you see any Emotion from him?"
Haibara Ai asked further, "Did something Matter happen?"
Doctor Agasa secretly Looked at Chi Feichei, and Realized that Chi Feichei wasn't paying attention here, so he said in a low voice, "Hassashi is the Godfather of Sindora Chairman's adopted son, you should Already Know this, right?"
"Don't Know," Haibara Ai was speechless, when did Doctor learn to be secretive, "We just met not long ago."
"No wonder he could get so many Experience Badge," Conan Realized something, turned his Head to Look around, "But we didn't See that Child..."
The adoptive Father is the Chairman of Sindola Company, the Godfather is a Game fan, that Child should have Come Over to Check.
"He didn't come, and... can't come," Doctor Agasa said with a serious Expression, "I Realize it when I went to find Yusaku today and heard Yusaku say it. Three days ago, that Child jumped down from the Apartment Building Rooftop, Suicide."
Haibara Ai's Heart thumped, and she couldn't help but Turn Head to Look Towards Chi Feichei who was Whispering with Chi Kana.
Black Formal Dress, Black solid color Necktie, his Expression was as calm and indifferent as Previously. Given Chi Feichei's Preference, this wouldn't be Weird originally.
And Chi Kana's black tone Formal Dress, she thought this Family had a special Preference for Black, but now Looking again...
That should be Mourning Dress expressing condolences.
Conan also paused for a moment, "Three days ago? I remember that Day Seemingly was..."
"Sister Ran made Chocolate and asked us to go to the Detective Agency to get Chocolate," Haibara Ai said in a low voice, "Afterwards, we went to Mr. Hota's Home to Help find the Watch. Brother Hichiji didn't go. When he came out of the Cafe Downstairs of the Detective Agency, he Seemingly received a Text Message or Email and left in a hurry. Yoshida also said that he Saw his Face become very ugly at that time. He received the News at that time, right?"
"It should be like this. It is said that on the Day of the incident, Sindora Chairman told him about this," Doctor Agasa sighed, "Hassashi and that Child had a very good Relationship. That Child's Parents divorced when he was young, and Sindora Chairman was also busy with Company matters. Almost all of the time, Hassashi was taking care of that Child. That Child also relied on him and Trusted him. Even Yusaku said that they were more like Father and Son than real Father and Son."
"Then how could he jump off a building and Suicide?" Conan frowned.
That Day he was thinking, it was unlikely that Chi Feichei's Face would change Color Tone because of Business matters. Perhaps he received some particularly serious bad News.
At that time, he also guessed whether it was people from the Organization who used some News to lure Chi Feichei away, intending to Start Doing something to Chi Feichei.
Afterwards, he made a Call to Chi Feichei, and Chi Feichei also answered Normally. And nothing happened to Mori Detective Agency, so he didn't take it to Heart.
Now it Seems, his Judgment at that time was Indeed Correct, and a Big Deal really happened.
"This, I'm also not very clear," Doctor Agasa Reached Out and touched his Head, "When Hassashi was with him, he looked very Happy..."
"Could it be Because after Brother Hichiji left, that Child suffered some Grievance? Or did someone Say something to him?" Haibara Ai guessed, "For Example, Words like 'your Godfather doesn't want you anymore'. When he committed Suicide, Brother Hichiji had only just returned for less than two days, right? Judging by Time, it's entirely possible that someone deliberately waited for Brother Hichiji to leave before Saying something to that Child."
"Ai, I think you are thinking too much. That Child is already ten years old, and he looks very steady. To say that he would be unable to think things through Because of what others Said..." Doctor Agasa recalled his History of getting along with Sawada Hiroki, "I think it's unlikely."
Uh-huh...
Conan also touched his chin and pondered for a while, "There are not enough Clue, and I have no Method to Judgment the Reason for his Suicide."
"Brother Hichiji might Know," Haibara Ai reminded.
"But he Seemingly doesn't Intention to Say to us..." Conan felt a little Annoyed in his Heart.
Even his Old Dad said that Chi Feichei and that Child were like real Father and Son, indicating that the Relationship between those two people was really good.
His Old Dad might have Seen the scene of Chi Feichei and that Child getting along, and Saw the Previously Matters of their Father and Son.
When a Child who is considered Family committed Suicide and passed away, he couldn't imagine what kind of Feeling was in Chi Feichei's Heart under that ugly Face that Day.
He was a little Annoyed that Chi Feichei didn't Say anything to them, and also a little Annoyed that he clearly guessed that Chi Feichei received unusual bad News, but didn't even pay attention to what the News was.
Uncomfortable, feeling sorry for his Little Friend.
"Not Intention to Say anything?" Ayumi approached from somewhere, curiously Looking at the Three People who were Whispering, "Conan, are you Whispering about some Secret that you can't tell Others behind our backs?"
"No, no," Doctor Agasa Saw that Chi Feichei and others also Looked Over, and quickly stopped the Topic, straightened up and walked towards Chi Kana, "Hello, I am Agasa, thank you for sending the Clothes before."
"Hello, I heard Hassashi mention you," Chi Kana Reached Out and shook hands with Doctor Agasa, Realized that the introduction On Stage was over and the lights in the Banquet Hall were turned on again, and was stunned for a moment, "I was still thinking of waiting for you to finish talking with Conan and Ai, and then let the two of them and the Children participate in the Intelligence Quiz..."
Saying So, Chi Kana bent down and smiled at Ayumi, Genta, and Mitsuhiko, "But it doesn't matter, there is still some Time before the Game starts. Before going to Experience the Game, let's all use our brains and answer an interesting Quiz Show, how about it?"
Doctor Agasa was stunned.
Wait, interesting Intelligence Quiz?
This should be his Matter, right?
He has been trying hard to think of an interesting Quiz Show these past two Days, wanting to test the Children.
"Okay!" Ayumi agreed happily.
"Please ask," Mitsuhiko prepared seriously, "But don't underestimate us."
Genta also felt something was wrong. According to the Normal Routine, the person asking the questions should be Doctor Agasa. However, after Looking at the gently Smiling Chi Kana, he touched his Head, "It's better than Doctor's Cold Joke."
Chi Feichei: "..."
His Old Mom stole Doctor Agasa's Role as the questioner as soon as she came. Is that really Okay?
Look at Doctor Agasa's depressed Face...
"Then, I'm going to ask a question," Chi Kana Looked at the five Naughty children, "The question is, Why does the Dog not make a Sound? The Answer Options are, A: Because its Throat is Uncomfortable, B: Because its Tongue is Grabbed by a Cat, C: Because it doesn't have the Opportunity to Play Cocoon Game, and is in a bad Mood, so it doesn't want to make a Sound, D: Because it is a Toy Dog."
"Uh-huh..." Mitsuhiko pondered seriously. It seemed that every Answer was possible, indicating that the Problem was not that simple and should have other hidden meanings.
Conan pondered for a moment, Understood, and then he and Haibara Ai shuddered together.
So Cold...
"Is it C?" Genta guessed, "Today is the Cocoon Game Launch Event, it can't Play, so it's unhappy. I didn't get the Game Badge before, and I was also in a very bad Mood. I just wanted to eat Things, so I wouldn't have time to speak."
"Request, Genta," Mitsuhiko was speechless, "The only one who wants to eat Things when in a bad Mood should be you, right?"
"Dogs can't Play Cocoon Game originally," Ayumi said hesitantly, "Then it should be A, right? Its Throat is Uncomfortable, so it doesn't make a Sound."
"If it doesn't make a Sound at all, the Answer is more likely to be Toy Dog," Mitsuhiko touched his chin, "But Answer B is so Weird, can a Cat Grab a Dog's Tongue?"
Chi Kana Looked Towards Conan and Haibara Ai, "What about you?"
Genta, Mitsuhiko, and Ayumi also Expectation Look Towards Conan and Haibara Ai.
Request their Quiz Show in charge to fight!
This is the First Time to answer Mrs. Kana's question. If they can't Answer it, they will always feel ashamed.
"The Correct Answer should be B," Haibara Ai looked woodenly.
Congratulations to Doctor Agasa for having an Opponent.
"Why?" Ayumi was Doubtful.
Genta recalled blankly, "Can Cats really Grab Dogs' Tongues?"
"Because it's 'Cat got your tongue?'," Conan explained aloud, sighed in his Heart, this kind of History of having to explain Cold Joke to Children is so familiar, "This Sentence is an English Idiom. The superficial Meaning is 'Did a cat get your tongue?', but it's actually asking someone 'Why Not Talking?', so, the Dog is not talking, just Because its Tongue is Grabbed by a Cat..."
"Correct!" Chi Kana Nodded Smilingly.
Silence.
Genta silently hugged his Arm.
So Cold...
Mitsuhiko broke out in a Cold sweat. He suddenly felt that he could look forward to Doctor Agasa's Intelligence Quiz in the future.
Ayumi maintained an awkward but polite Smile, inadvertently Saw Chi Feichei, and suddenly froze, "Brother Ike..."
Smiling!
Although he didn't laugh out loud, when a person who is usually Face Cold suddenly smiles, even if there is not so much Coldness in his Eyes, and his mouth is only pursed, the Feeling is still very obvious...
Genta looked up and Saw, widening his Eyes.
Shock! Brother Ike can Actually Smile.
Ayumi was at a loss.
Could it be that this Intelligence Quiz is actually very Interesting?
Mitsuhiko silently recalled for a moment, but didn't find anything funny.
Haibara Ai was confused. Is Brother Hichiji's Funny Bone a bit Weird?
Conan and Doctor Agasa were also Silent.
Look, Chi Feichei's style is different from Others again.
Chi Feichei didn't Cover-up his Smilingly expression, nor did he explain.
He suddenly Realized in his Childhood Memory, Chi Kana would occasionally chase Chi Shinnosuke with a Grievance Face and ask: Did a cat get your tongue? Did a cat get your tongue? ...
Quite Interesting.
But if this kind of Matter is Said, his Old Mom would be too embarrassed.

"Really?" Haibara Ai looked Calm, "I think, if the Game is about Solve a Case, following Brother Hichiji can really clear the Game easily."
Doctor Agasa had to admit, and laughed dryly, "Say So Also Correct."
Conan raised his Fighting Spirit and Interest, "Then after entering the Game, I will participate separately from him, and use this Game as the Stage to compete again!"
Haibara Ai Teasingly said, "It seems Brother Hichiji went to Boston for a while, and some people have recovered from the blow and started to become restless again."
Conan: "..."

Doctor Agasa suddenly Realized one Matter, the Smilingly expression on his Face disappeared, he leaned closer to Conan and Haibara Ai's ears, lowering his voice even further, "By the Way, when you came here today, was there anything Weird about Hassashi's Emotion?"
