Chapter 609 What's the matter with finding your Old Dad?
Kazami Yuya was speechless. Mr. Furuya thought that if he smiled nicely and found a reason, he would... Never mind, let him laugh.
"What Mr. Kinyuan is worried about now is whether July will misunderstand him and then be unwilling to accept the Bounty from the National Police Agency."
"Don't Worry," Amuro Toru said, looking down and flipping through the Calendar, still amused, "He left the Home Delivery Service, only leaving the drawing, which shows he's not really angry."
"Then this drawing... could it have some hidden meaning?" Kazami Yuya speculated. He had seen these drawings, and they weren't as obvious as Jin Yuansheng's. It was just a Little Person Figure holding a Pill and throwing it at another Little Person Figure. Compared to Jin Yuansheng's drawings, it didn't seem to have such strong hostility. "Is it expressing dissatisfaction?"
"Of course," Amuro Toru said, having laughed enough, and looked at Kazami Yuya strangely. "It's definitely expressing dissatisfaction. Is it necessary to ask? As for the meaning... it should be saying to Mr. Kinyuan: You should Take Medicine."
When they played Game together, if Magical Girl occasionally proposed some extremely exaggerated and unreliable Idea, Advisor would Say: You should Take Medicine. Be good, open your mouth and Take Medicine.
As for the specific meaning, Chi Feichei had also explained it. Seeing in the Simple Sketch, one person shoving a Pill into another person's mouth, and another person throwing a Pill to smash another Little Person Figure, he immediately Realized.
"Take Medicine?" Kazami Yuya didn't Realize, "Is Mr. Kinyuan sick?"
Amuro Toru explained in detail again, "July is saying, you Psychopath, you are seriously ill, you should Take Medicine."
So harsh? Kazami Yuya Looked at the drawing on the Calendar, which was the one about shoving Medicine into the mouth, and felt it really did have that kind of meaning. "July is really... subtle. Only you can understand it. Mr. Kinyuan researched all morning today, and asked me to bring the Calendar out, also wanting to ask you Whether or Not you could see something."
Such subtle mockery, Mr. Furuya actually understood it after seeing it, amazing! This is the gap between them... This won't do. He needs to make more effort in the future.
Amuro Toru couldn't say that he knew that guy July. He had heard these words from The Person Themselves and only then Realized it.
He also felt that Jin Yuansheng should Take Medicine, not because of the Simple Sketch cursing July, but because he felt that Jin Yuansheng was overly obsessed with Home Delivery Service and really needed to Adjust his Psychological State.
"Kazami, when you backup, remember to copy an extra one, send it to my Office, and put it in the first Drawer on the right-hand side of the Desk, that will be fine."
"Okay, Mr. Furuya!"
"Hard work."
Amuro Toru continued to eat. Retorted too well, must collect it.
... Afternoon two o'clock.
When Chi Feichei woke up, he discovered Hissashi was still nestled beside him on the Pillow, sleeping soundly. He sat up, picked up his Mobile Phone, and checked his Account.
A total of 8.7 million Japanese Yen was received, and 1 million was transferred to Haibara Ai.
Even in Japanese Yen, last night's Gain wasn't small. If it weren't for Feimo's Intelligence Network, he really wouldn't have been able to lock down those Criminals in a short Time.
Afterwards, there was the Phone Call he received in the morning, made by Isobe Nagisa. He was sleepy at that time, answered it, said a word, and hung up. He still needed to return a Phone Call.
The Phone Call rang for a while before it was answered.
As soon as Isobe Nagisa answered the Phone Call, she started teasing, "Old Dad, you're awake? You still need to be more restrained in the future, it's bad for your Body~"
Chi Feichei wasn't stimulated by the appellation 'Old Dad', nor did he respond to the playful Tone of 'restrained', "I know, Child, what's the matter with you finding your Old Dad?"
This time it was Isobe Nagisa's turn to be speechless. After being depressed for a moment, she said, "You actually respond when I call you?"
"I don't suffer a loss." Chi Feichei said.
Isobe Nagisa became even more depressed. Listening to that calm Tone, it really made people feel no Joy in joking at all. "I say, can't you Joke?"
Chi Feichei thought for a moment, "Probably can."
Isobe Nagisa really wanted to express 'disbelief', but she still said the Serious Business first, "Okay, I just want to tell you, I submitted my Resignation."
"Why?" Chi Feichei was a bit surprised.
There is a characteristic in the Japanese Workplace. If two people have similar Ability, Promotion is mostly sorted by Seniority. In other words, the longer you stay in a Business, the easier it is to get Promotion.
And in a Business, 'Senior' employees can suffer less, while 'Junior' employees will have a harder time. Many Odd Jobs are done by newly hired Newcomers.
So generally speaking, the Probability of Employee Job-hopping and Resignation is very low. Many people will stay in a Business for a Lifetime.
Isobe Nagisa had stayed in her previous Workplace for nearly ten years, and was somewhat considered a Senior in the Company. After Resignation and going to a new Business, it's not necessarily as desired.
"Originally, I could have been Promoted to Supervisor, but as a result, just because I'm an unmarried Female who is almost thirty years old, the Company worried that I would get married and have Childbirth next, which would delay Work, so they gave the Promotion Opportunity to another male Employee. I was very angry, so I Resigned," Isobe Nagisa said with a helpless Tone, but without much Feeling of anger, "My Home has some Savings, and I've also saved some Money in recent years. I'm preparing to come to Tokyo and open a Shop by myself. I arrived last Night, and just moved into a New Apartment this morning..."
"Next, do you Intend to find a suitable Shop?" Chi Feichei proactively asked.
The Unfair Situation that Isobe Nagisa mentioned indeed exists. Since she is his own 'daughter', he definitely needs to help with what he can.
"No Need, No Need," Isobe Nagisa laughed, "A Friend of my Mother's Recently Intended to sell the Flower Shop in Beihu Town. Before Resignation, I had Already bought it. I also contacted a Renovation Company, and they will start construction in a couple of days. I'm not the kind of person who would Resign Recklessly. The reason why I Call you is to invite you to be a guest at my New Apartment."
"Has your Mother also come to Tokyo?"
"No, only me. She wants to stay in her Hometown for a few years. When she needs to be taken care of, we will then Discuss Whether or Not to bring her to Tokyo, or I go back... Then, do you want to Come Over to my place now?"
"Okay..."
After noting down the Address Isobe Nagisa said, Chi Feichei hung up the Phone Call, Got Up, Washed Up, Returned to Room, and Opened the locked Cabinet.
Inside the Cabinet, there were two rows of Small Bottle the size of a Thumb, fully more than twenty of them, filled with crystal clear liquid.
Beside the Small Bottle, there was also a Plastic Bag for empty bottles, and a Glass Cup the size of a Water Cup.
Hissashi drowsily woke up, burrowed into the Bedding to the foot of the Bed, "Master, are you extracting Venom again?"
Chi Feichei 'Uh-huh'ed, Looked at the Drawer, then Turned Around and Went Out of the Room.
Hissashi was too lazy to move, still lying prone on the foot of the Bed, curiously looking at the Room Door.
After a moment, Chi Feichei entered the Door holding a large-sized Glass Jar with a Lid, and changed the Plastic Bag containing Small Bottle to the Drawer below.
Hissashi: "..."
Master feels that using Small Bottle to store is too Troublesome, Intending to change to a larger Container?
Chi Feichei really just thought so.
If the Venom Gland is full, new Venom will not be born. It's too Pity not to collect the Venom.
Moreover, if most of the Venom is regularly removed, when he bumps his Teeth or his Emotion fluctuates greatly, the Possibility of Venom seeping out will be much smaller.
But at most, he just uses Venom to poison Cards, the Consumption Speed is too much slower than the Storage Speed.
Even if he didn't extract Venom in Boston at that time, usually forgot, or didn't extract when busy, Small Bottle are still increasing one by one. Currently, there are more than 20 bottles.
He felt it was necessary to change to a larger Container to save trouble.
This Glass Jar was the packaging jar when he bought Mung Bean. It was a bit like the Bottle for soaking liquor he had seen in his previous life. Putting it in, it just reached the top of the Loft.
If it can be put in, then that's it.
Hissashi watched Chi Feichei pick up the Glass Cup and bump his Teeth onto it to extract Venom, "Master, do you think my Venom should also be regularly extracted a bit? Not extracting it won't generate new Venom either, it feels so wasteful."
Chi Feichei let the Venom all drain into the Glass Cup, conveniently handed Hissashi a Small Bottle, and reminded, "You are an Opisthoglyphous Snake."
He wasn't looking down on Hissashi's Venom. Venom with paralyzing effect is sometimes more useful than his Highly Toxic Venom, but Hissashi's Venomous Fang is in his throat area, which is more Troublesome to extract Venom than Proteroglyphous Snake.
Hissashi was stunned. It wanted to extract Venom, but it wasn't like Chi Feichei, who just bumped his Teeth onto the Cup and that was it. Seemingly, it needed to swallow most of the bottle mouth to touch its Venomous Fang.
This... "Uh, No Need, Master..."
Chi Feichei picked up the Bottle, then Turned Around and poured the Venom into the Glass Jar, only a shallow layer. "Do you want to go find Isobe with me in a while?"
Hissashi agreed without thinking, "Go!"
If it weren't for it, how would Master handle the Date Problem if he encountered it again? It must follow Master closely, in order to avoid some Network Lifeform that pops out of the Mobile Phone from time to time stealing its Work.
"Then wait for me a while."
Chi Feichei went to the Washroom again, washed the two Black Plate with Crow Pattern and RAKI Pattern a bit, threw them into the glass cylinder to soak, re-locked the Cabinet, and Went Out with Hissashi.
Isobe Nagisa's newly found Apartment is also in Beihu Town, not far from here. It's a walk of more than ten minutes to reach.
... Beika Town, Doctor Agasa's House.
Haibara Ai also woke up, rubbed her Eyes, took out her Mobile Phone to check Transaction Information.
1 million Japanese Yen... Just following and running around easily for one night, there's this much, not strange either. What they do is an illegal and dangerous Matter, and they need to bear the corresponding Risk.
Moreover, she had followed and participated in Bounty several times, and had a number in mind about the Price of those Wanted Criminals. It's probably only about 6 million Japanese Yen. The bulk of last night's Bounty was probably still the Project Information that Chi Feichei stole from that Company.
She just helped with Packaging a bit, and Chi Feichei gave her 1 million Japanese Yen, which is absolutely giving too much.
Haibara Ai yawned, while daydreaming, she Got Up and Went Out, preparing to Wash Up.
She also didn't need to be affectedly reserved with Chi Feichei. Being affectedly reserved would instead appear distant. She would take as much as given, just consider it as Pocket Money.
Actually, even if she did nothing, simply asking Chi Feichei for Pocket Money, Chi Feichei would also give it. But she didn't want to ask for Pocket Money like Children, and couldn't bring herself to say it...
"What? The Archives of the Cases that Mr. Mouri and Hissashi handled in the Metropolitan Police Department were stolen?! Is Police Officer Takagi really Say So?"
Doctor Agasa's exclamation came from the Living Room.
Haibara Ai was stunned for a moment, Stopped, dodged and hid into the Shadow behind the Corner.
