Chapter 626 They Know They Were Wrong
After waiting for a moment, the Detective Badge faintly transmitted the sound of a Car driving away, and then it became quiet again.
Afterwards, until Mori Kogoro finished his Phone Call and returned, there was no more Movement.
"Inspector Megure said he would have people keep an eye out," Mori Kogoro said with a serious Expression, "but it's still uncertain whether they really encountered a Murderer, and the time since we lost contact with them is still short, so we can't open a case for Investigation. The Police can't Help too much."
"Then should we Go Out to look for them?" Mouri Ran asked.
"The 'ka-la' sound at the beginning was the Sound of a Metal Lock Buckle, the Lock Buckle on a non-fully enclosed Truck," Chi Feichei said, "Afterwards, it was the Sound of Fabric rubbing against solidified Cement, and finally the Sound of a Car driving away. Listening to the Engine and the slight 'ka-cha' sound while moving, it is indeed a Truck transporting Cargo. They should be in some Cement Building, and Saw someone commit Murder or Saw a Corpse..."
"At that time, the Culprit was still there, so they didn't dare to speak loudly," Conan also recalled carefully, "Afterwards, Mitsuhiko said Words like 'he seems to be carrying the Deceased out'..."
"That is to Say, the Culprit might have committed Murder in the Place they were in, and then used a Truck to transport the Corpse away," Mori Kogoro analyzed, stroking his chin, "Or perhaps the Culprit used a Truck to transport the Corpse to the Place they were in, and after moving the Corpse out of the Car, drove away... Then could they be hiding in some Place, Intending to wait for the Culprit to leave before coming out? As a result, the Detective Badge was accidentally dropped and they haven't noticed it yet?"
"You don't understand them enough," Chi Feichei said concisely.
Conan Realized a possibility, and his eyelids twitched, "No way..."
"Huh?" Mouri Ran was puzzled.
"They might have followed them," Conan said, steeling himself.
"This..." Mouri Ran forced a smile, "Xiao Shu is still with them. If Xiao Shu gets scared and starts crying, they will be discovered by the Culprit..."
That's it, I can't go on.
Three seven or eight-year-old Mischievous Kids taking a one-and-a-half-year-old Child, actively following a Murderer... This isn't an adventure, this is courting death!
"It's also possible that they Intend to leave that Place first after they are safe, and then Call us," Conan said, holding onto a little Hope.
"Then let's wait for them to contact us," Chi Feichei said.
Mori Kogoro Nodded, "For now, we can only do this, at least wait another twenty minutes."
"Don't worry," Chi Feichei said, "I told Xiao Shu that if he encounters Thugs, don't resist, tell them that his Home is rich, and let the Thugs Call to ask for Ransom."
Mouri Ran Nodded, still unable to feel at ease.
Doing so can indeed stabilize the Thugs.
With a Connection, maybe we can also obtain useful Clues.
But, are we sure that a one-and-a-half-year-old Child can do that?
...
After waiting for nearly three Hours, there was still no News.
Midway, Mori Kogoro took Conan Go Out, went to the Street Corner Store to ask the Shopkeeper, trying to find the whereabouts of the Children, but in the end, he gained nothing and could only return.
Just when Mouri Ran Intended to Go Out to look again, an unfamiliar Number Call entered Chi Feichei's Mobile Phone.
"...Where are you... Got it, wait for me at the Original Place."
Two Sentences, the Phone Call hung up.
Chi Feichei Got Up and walked towards the Door, "I'll go pick them up, Ran, you make Rice."
"Ah... Okay!" Mouri Ran Subconsciously Nodded.
"I'll go too!" Conan followed and ran out, conveniently closing the Door.
Mori Kogoro then regained his senses and scratched his Head.
His eldest disciple's Speed of hanging up the Phone Call is still so fast, couldn't he let him scold those Kids for a Sentence or two?
Never Mind, I'll scold them when they come back.
More than half an Hour later, the roaring Sound from the Detective Agency spread far.
"Do you know how dangerous this is?!"
Mitsuhiko, Ayumi, and Genta stood in a row obediently, lowering their Heads and enduring Mori Kogoro's Spittle.
"Taking a one-and-a-half-year-old Babies and still daring to run around, what if something happens?"
"Saying you Saw someone being Murdered, and then there was no News, making us worry for so long!"
"For you Kids, I've run all over the Vicinity!"
Mori Kogoro gave them a burst of scolding.
Chi Feichei stood by the Windowside, with his back to the others, looking Outside and smoking a Cigarette.
When he went Downstairs to drive to pick up a Group of Children, there was someone in the Car parked at the Alley Entrance Downstairs. When he came back, the person in the Car was gone, and the Car was still parked there.
When he Just Now walked to the Windowside to light a Cigarette, a red Point in the dim Alley across the Street quickly disappeared, so fast that it would make people think it was an illusion.
However, he was very sure that he Saw it.
Moreover, on the Wall Top of a Household in the Alley, there was also a gray-white Bird standing, completely marking out Akai Shuichi's hiding Location for him.
In the Alley, Akai Shuichi stood in the Shadow by the Wall, put away the Cigarette Butt he had extinguished in his Hand, and quietly waited for a certain troublesome Human to leave from the Windowside.
After that troublesome Human returned from Boston, Matters have become complicated again?
First, when Jodie Call him, Chi Feichei accidentally heard it.
Although only a Sentence of Teasing was heard, Chi Feichei definitely Discovered that Jodie was sharing Matters about their Group of People with others.
After that, a Woman with a very good Relationship with Chi Feichei moved into the Apartment Building where Jodie lived, right upstairs from Jodie. That dark-skinned High School Student also ran to Test Jodie.
And in the past two Days, Jodie has encountered that Miss Isogai twice in the Elevator Hall. After Testing, the other party Seemingly just Resignation to come to Tokyo to open a Shop, and happened to live there.
However, because Jodie actively invited that Miss Isogai to go Street shopping to inquire about News, the Relationship between the two became a little closer, and that Miss Isogai also began to invite Jodie to Go Out.
Now Jodie has to be careful to avoid that Miss Isogai when Going Out, to be careful not to be Tracked. Apart from the Time to go to School to inquire about News, after going Home, she will be invited out... He always feels that Jodie's Tricks are being restrained.
Originally, they also Intended to let Jodie move into Chi Feichei's Apartment Building, but considering Chi Feichei's Keenness, and the Price of that Apartment Housing, they finally gave up.
Unexpectedly, Chi Feichei turned around and placed a Mole beside Jodie.
Regardless of whether it was intentional or unintentional, this is indeed a troublesome Human who gives people a headache.
Today, running to the Mori Detective Agency, suddenly Going Out to drive a Car, scaring him. Just Now, suddenly running to the Windowside to smoke a Cigarette...
That Fellow just brought a lot of Troublesome Matters to Jodie, wouldn't he turn around and come for him again?
Recalling carefully, he shouldn't have revealed any Opening Just Now.
...
Mori Detective Agency.
The three Elementary School Student waited until Mori Kogoro was tired of scolding, and bowed neatly, "Sorry, we know we were wrong!"
Mouri Ran was a little unwilling to pursue the matter further, but thinking of the recklessness of the Children, she still warned with a serious Face, "You can't do this again in the future!"
"Yes~" The three Elementary School Student continued to pretend to be good.
"Brother Hissashi," Mouri Ran Turn Head to Look at Chi Feichei who was standing by the Windowside smoking a Cigarette, "Do you want to Say something?"
Mitsuhiko, Ayumi, Genta: "..."
Please don't...
Sawada Hiroki stood in front of the Sofa, playing with the Comic Book that Conan had thrown on the Sofa, feeling some Sympathy.
Being lectured in turns as soon as they came back, it's really too miserable.
Fortunately, he is now a one-and-a-half-year-old Child, it's normal that he doesn't understand things, and he is also placed in the 'victim' Angle, no one criticizes him.
Chi Feichei Turned Around, extinguished the Cigarette in the Ashtray on Mori Kogoro's Desk, and said calmly, "Rice."
"Huh?" Genta was Stunned.
Scolding? Criticism?
"Brother Hissashi..." Mouri Ran gave him Half-Moon Eyes.
She asked Chi Feichei Whether or Not he wanted to Say something, intending to let Chi Feichei seriously and strictly criticize the Mischievous Kids, not to let Chi Feichei announce that it's time for Rice.
"They know they were wrong, but they will dare to do it again next time. Saying it a hundred times is useless," Chi Feichei picked up Sawada Hiroki and sat him down at the Table Front, "It's good that they came back safely."
"Hehe..." Mitsuhiko scratched his Head and laughed.
Saying 'dare to do it again next time'... Brother Chi is talking nonsense, but it's the truth!
"Hehe..." Ayumi was also a little embarrassed.
Genta was silent for a moment, "Ha... Uh..."
Never Mind, he won't laugh.
Conan Speechless glanced at the three people who were laughing foolishly.
He also felt that these three Fellows would dare to do it again next time.
Mouri Ran suddenly felt powerless.
If Saying it is useless, then don't Say it. Does Brother Hissashi have to be so realistic?
Never Mind, let's eat Rice.
While eating Rice, Genta, Ayumi, and Mitsuhiko, the Three People, chattered about the whole process.
"At that Shop at the Street Corner, we couldn't buy the rare Kamen Rider cards, so we wanted to take Xiao Shu to another Street to Check," Ayumi said, "But halfway there, Genta suddenly ran into that Abandoned Building, and no matter what we said, he wouldn't listen."
"Because I Saw a Mannequin at the Building Window Outside, I suddenly Realized that I could take Xiao Shu to play Playing House," Genta said, "Having a Mannequin play the Adult Role would be more interesting than a Group of Children like us playing..."
"After we followed into the Building, we Intended to take the Mannequin to play with Xiao Shu for a while," Mitsuhiko said, "and then we suddenly heard someone arguing inside the Building..."
"Although it was dark inside the Building, we did See a figure knock another person to the Ground," Ayumi continued, "Afterwards, the other person lay on the Ground and remained motionless, definitely Deceased."
Mitsuhiko continued, "Then the Culprit started moving the Corpse. Genta and I Intended to Check if there were any Clues on his Truck, and also to see where he wanted to transport the Corpse, so that we could Report to Police and notify the Police."
"As For Ayumi, we just let her take Xiao Shu to stay in the Abandoned Building and wait for us," Genta Looked at Ayumi, "But Xiao Shu followed and ran into the Truck's Cargo compartment."
"That's for sure," Conan glanced at the Three People with Half-Moon Eyes, "Both of you ran into the Cargo compartment, Xiao Shu probably thought you were Playing Game with him, so he followed. You should at least Consider his Age, you shouldn't have run around at that time... And then? You all followed?"
Sawada Hiroki silently lowered his Head and ate Rice with a Spoon, pretending to be a good Pet.
"I originally Intended to take Xiao Shu and leave quickly, but just as I Intended to get out of the Cargo compartment, the Culprit had already moved the Corpse out," Ayumi explained, "We could only hide behind the Cardboard Box together, watching the Culprit move a Mannequin wrapped in Cotton Cloth into the Cargo compartment, and drive to the Mountains."
"We also Saw a pool of red liquid seeping out of the Corpse," Genta couldn't help but Look at Sawada Hiroki, "Xiao Shu even wanted to go up and Look at those red liquids, but we pulled him back."
Mori Kogoro poured Liquor, "It's really a blessing from God that Xiao Shu wasn't scared into crying... Hissashi, Whether or Not you want to drink a little more?"
Chi Feichei Nodded, "Thank You, Teacher."
Watching a Group of People treat Sawada Hiroki as a Child who doesn't understand anything, it's quite interesting.
