Chapter 600 Conan: Don't Say It! Don't Say It!
"The file bag that the Deceased was holding was already empty," Wataru Takagi analyzed, "So, the person who embezzled Company Funds and the person who Kill the Deceased should be the same person, right?"
"Uh... He probably took the Document in the Deceased's file bag after Kill the Deceased, and then fled back to the Company." Inspector Megure expressed agreement, and then asked Kisho Norihisa, "Then what? Regarding the Suspect who embezzled Company Funds, do you still not have any Clue?"
"Ah... No, in the early interim Report, that Detective once gave me a List of suspicious Employee," Kisho Norihisa took out a List from the file bag, raised it for Inspector Megure to See, "This is the List!"
Inspector Megure surprisingly took the Paper, looked at the Name on it, "Filtering out these People is not an easy thing!"
Chi Feichei stood behind Inspector Megure, raised his Eye to See the List. He remembered this Case, the Pattern left by the Deceased, actually there were four. □○╳△, as long as you Glance at it, you can See it from the Name... Fumita Kuniyoshi!
Conan stood beside Chi Feichei, also peeked at the List from behind Inspector Megure, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. There are 58 Suspects, and the only Clue at Present is ○╳△, things Seemingly very interesting... Uh? Conan Discovery that Chi Feichei, who was still standing beside him Just Now, suddenly Turn Around and walked Outside, somewhat Doubt. Not See the List anymore?
Chi Feichei went straight Outside the Cafe. Everything was already tasteless...
Outside the Door of the Cafe, Jodie leaned against the Wall and made a Phone Call to someone, speaking English in a low voice. "...Yes... I encountered a Case again, they are inside with the Police Officer to Understand the Situation, I temporarily came out to Call and tell you."
"What kind of Case specifically?" Akai Shuichi asked. According to what Jodie said Previously, Chi Feichei is there, and that smart Boy is also there, solving this Case should not be a Problem. But he still wanted to try, to See if he could solve it, if he could solve it before those two People.
"A Detective was Kill on the escalator of the Building, the current Clue is only the pre-death Message he left, a Pattern of circles, crosses, and triangles side by side, and a List of 58 Suspects," Jodie said in a low voice, "If you want it, I will find an Opportunity to secretly take a picture and send it to you."
Akai Shuichi Considered for a moment, he was doing Surveillance at Mori Detective Agency, and there was nothing Matter, Mystery Solving Entertainment is also good, "Then I Request you, take a picture and let me Look, but be Careful not to be Discovery, that Lord who often appears at the Crime Scene, although not a Detective, is more powerful than many Detectives."
"Of course, I have always felt that he is like Holmes," Jodie chuckled, couldn't help but Teasing, "But it is true that he often appears at the Crime Scene, his Luck Seemingly not very good..."
In terms of secretly Teasing, Conan is obviously much smarter than Jodie, generally only Teasing crazily in his Heart, especially after Discovery that Teasing occasionally Summons Chi Feichei...
Jodie obviously didn't Understand these, and was still saying in English in a low voice, "Inspector Megure is almost treating him like a Plague God~"
A certain Black Clothes Plague God happened to Go Out the Door and walked past Jodie.
Jodie: "!" Σ(дlll) Why did Chi Feichei suddenly run out? The Police Officers are still investigating in the Cafe, right? Also, did Chi Feichei hear her Words? How much did he hear?
Uh... Whether Chi Feichei heard the previous Words, she was not sure, but when she Said 'Inspector Megure is almost treating him like a Plague God', Chi Feichei should have just stepped out of the Door of the Cafe.
On the other end of the Phone Call, Akai Shuichi joked, "It's not very good if your Words are heard by him, and also, be Careful of that Younger Brother, don't get caught by them when you secretly take pictures..."
Jodie: "..." The Problem now is, it has already been heard, how to deal with it... Mentioning Inspector Megure, and at This Time not long after the Case happened, if she explained 'I'm not talking about you, I'm talking about a Friend of mine from Previously', no Fool would believe it, right?
"Jodie?" Akai Shuichi Discovery that Jodie was Silent, was Doubt and Vigilance, then heard a faint young male voice coming from the other end of the Phone Call. It Seemed to Say - "He is not almost treating me like a Plague God, but has already treated me like a Plague God..."
Akai Shuichi immediately Understood. Probably Jodie was Teasing People behind their backs when she was bumped into by the person themselves? This... He felt embarrassed for Jodie. Also, is it because Chi Feichei went to Boston for a while, Jodie didn't encounter any Troublesome Matters, too little Sense of Crisis, and started to be a bit reckless? She should also find a more hidden Place to Call him.
... In front of the Cafe in the Building, Chi Feichei temporarily Stop his Footsteps to correct Jodie's Words. Inappropriate description, should be corrected.
Jodie held the Mobile Phone, stiffened at the Wall Corner Outside the Door. Conan followed Go Out the Door, Looked at Jodie, walked to Chi Feichei's Beside, "Brother Chi, what's wrong?" The Atmosphere is a bit wrong, must get close to Allies.
Chi Feichei withdrew his Gaze from Looking at Jodie, "Nothing."
Conan did not pursue the question, looked up at Chi Feichei, "You are no longer going to See that List?"
"No Need to See it again." Chi Feichei Said.
Conan's eyelid twitched, and there was an ominous Premonition in his Heart. He just felt that this Case was worth pondering, could it be that Chi Feichei already... Indeed, Chi Feichei continued, "The Culprit is..."
"Don't Say It, Don't Say It!" Conan stomped his Foot in Place, Grievance turned into a bun Face, "Give me half an Hour, you write down the Answer first, I will verify after I think of the Answer."
Chi Feichei took out a Notebook and Pen, wrote a line of Characters on a page of Paper with a swish, tore off the Paper, folded it, squatted down, put the Paper Strip into Conan's Outerwear Pocket, Reach Out and gently patted Conan's Head, "I'll go find Evidence, you think slowly, no rush..."
Conan was stunned for a moment, and suddenly felt a little guilty in his Heart. Even if Chi Feichei's Tone was still indifferent, but he was so unreasonable, Chi Feichei still accommodated him and comforted him, he actually felt a little warm. Alas, this Fellow is really...
"Remember to do Reasoning after thinking of it, and take the Police Officers up," Chi Feichei stood up, walked towards the Elevator, and reminded in passing, "Then you do the Written Statement."
Conan Half-Moon Eyes. Really... Ruthless!
Seeing Chi Feichei get on the Elevator, Conan also Turn Around and returned to the Cafe. He wanted to find Inspector Megure to get the List to Research, and didn't believe that he couldn't solve that Weird pre-death Message!
Jodie Watched Leave Conan enter the Door, Looked at the Mobile Phone, Discovery that the Phone Call had not been hung up, walked a little further, and asked after a moment of Silence, "Do you... still want the List?"
On the other end of the Phone Call, Akai Shuichi also fell Silent for a moment, "Are you... okay over there?"
Jodie took a deep breath, cheered up, "Don't worry, I will go to explain in a while, I should be able to Handle it!"
"That's good, since he has already solved the Answer, then I don't need to See the List either," Akai Shuichi paused, and still reminded, "When he is there, contact should be a little Careful."
"I know, I will pay attention in the Afterwards."
Hung up the Phone Call, Jodie reflected for a moment, and also felt that she had been lax Recently, and actually made a Phone Call to Akai Shuichi while standing at the Entrance. It's not too bad that Teasing was heard by Chi Feichei, she can smooth it over, but if she was heard saying some Weird Words, such as 'Surveillance', 'Goal', 'Close the Net' and other Words that do not conform to her High School Teacher Identity, it would be more Troublesome.
... On the other side, Chi Feichei got on the Elevator, just as the Elevator was about to close, it was stopped by someone.
"Sorry, I also want to Go Upstairs..." Kazunobu Chiba hurriedly entered the Elevator.
Chi Feichei looked at Kazunobu Chiba who was busy and sweating, and was also considered an acquaintance, and took the initiative to greet him, "Officer Chiba."
Kazunobu Chiba raised his Eye to See Chi Feichei, "Ah, Mr. Chi?"
Chi Feichei Nodded, and proactively asked, "Are you going to investigate the Alibi in the Suspect List?"
"Yes," Kazunobu Chiba Turn Head to Look at the Elevator Button, Discovery that the 8th Floor was pressed, so he didn't press it again, somewhat curious, "Are you also Intention to Go to that Company?"
"Uh-huh, I want to Go To See," Chi Feichei Said, "Can I Go with you?"
Kazunobu Chiba smiled, "Of course no Problem!" These Detectives just like to run around, he was already used to it.
Chi Feichei followed Kazunobu Chiba to the 8th Floor, waiting for Kazunobu Chiba to show his Police Badge, and asked the Personnel Department to gather the People on the List. Following the Police is convenient, no Need to find People oneself.
Kazunobu Chiba asked People one by one, verified the People who had Alibi, and crossed out the Name on the copied Suspect List.
Chi Feichei heard that Fumita Kuniyoshi's Office was Next Door, Turn Around and Go Out the Door, and arrived at the Next Door Office.
After Fumita Kuniyoshi Murder, he took the Document in the file bag in the Deceased's arms, returned to the Company located on the 8th to 11th Floor, and afterwards should think of a Method to Dispose of the Document.
That Document is the Investigation Data of Fumita Kuniyoshi's Embezzlement, Fumita Kuniyoshi should not dare to directly Dispose of it in the Trash Can or other Place. If it is directly Throw into the Trash Can or other Place, after being Seen by People, they will know about his Embezzlement, and also know that he is the Murderer who Kill that Detective and took the Document.
Originally taking it out of the Building and burning it was a good Choice, but the Vicinity is a lively Street District, there is no hidden Place, once someone accuses 'there is a suspicious Man burning Things there', he may be Suspect if he can't return to the Company for a while.
According to what Fumita Kuniyoshi Said, the Reason why he has no Alibi is Because during This Time before and after the Crime Scene, he went out to get the Data that needed to be delivered by the Client, and by the way helped other Colleague buy Things, and returned to the Office about half an Hour after the Power Outage...
Thinking about it, it's Also Correct, Fumita Kuniyoshi also needs to find a Place to change out of the Clothes he wore when committing the crime and Dispose of them, the Time to return will not be too early.
From the Things just unpacked and unpacked on the Table, the Things Fumita Kuniyoshi bought were two Ballpoint Pens, five bottles of Beverage plus two bags of Snacks.
Before Kazunobu Chiba called People over, there were still People eating Snacks and drinking Beverage...
The Things on Fumita Kuniyoshi's Office Desk were moved out to a blank space, the Computer Screen was also a little tilted, and a little fresh Breadcrumbs crumbs fell on the Desk behind the Computer, then, after Fumita Kuniyoshi returned Just Now and distributed the Things to his Colleague, another Colleague bent down and rested his elbow on his Office Desk, while eating Snacks and talking to him, maybe to thank him, or maybe to Say other Words...
In other Words, Fumita Kuniyoshi probably hasn't Dispose of the Document into a Shredder or other Place to destroy it yet, avoided his Colleague, temporarily put the Document somewhere first, it is Guess that he Intention to wait until after being questioned by the Police, and then leave his Work Station as naturally as possible and Throw the Document into the Shredder together with other Documents.
In order to facilitate timely destruction later, it is unlikely to run to the Washroom to hide Things, it should be brought back to the Office together with the Document to be retrieved, pretending to organize while secretly hiding the Document to be hidden.
At the same Time, People are also accustomed to hiding Things that 'it would be terrible if Discovery by People' on their Onself or in a Place close to Onself, so as to easily confirm whether they have been Seen by People.
Then... Chi Feichei scanned the Office with his Eye, Judged the Situation, put on Gloves, walked to Fumita Kuniyoshi's Office Desk and squatted down, and found the Document temporarily fixed Under Table with Adhesive Tape Under Table.
"Buzz... Buzz..." Phone Vibration.
"Noah?" Chi Feichei got up and Go Out the Door holding the Document.
"Master, he Said he was going to your Father's Place, and has already left." Hassashi Said.
Chi Feichei took out his Mobile Phone, Looked at the incoming Call Number, answered the Phone Call, "Ran?"
"Brother Hissashi, where did you Go? If it's convenient, can you spare a little Time..."
