Chapter 627 But next time will still
"But Xiao Shu is really well-behaved," Ayumi praised, "didn't cry or fuss."
"Then did the culprit bury the Corpse in the Mountains?" Conan asked further.
"I think so," Mitsuhiko said seriously, "After arriving in the Mountains, he moved that Things, and left for more than twenty minutes before returning."
"When he came back, taking advantage of the Truck stopping at the Traffic Lights, we quickly took Xiao Shu and got out of the Car," Ayumi said, "Afterwards, we Call Brother Chi."
Mori Kogoro casually added Liquor to Chi Feichei, after taking a sip of Liquor, asked, "Do you know where the Place where the Corpse was buried is?"
"Don't Know..."
Mitsuhiko, Ayumi, Genta shook their heads in unison.
"Then it's a bit tricky," Mori Kogoro rubbed his chin, "Even if you say you Saw someone Murder, if you can't find convincing evidence, there's no way to Report to Police."
"The Truck's tarpaulin was torn, I secretly Looked Outside, and remember the Route." Sawada Hiroki said childishly.
Then, was ignored...
"Uh-huh," Mouri Ran comforted with a smile, "Xiao Shu is the best!"
Sawada Hiroki: "..."
He really remembered the Route!
Conan also felt that it was Children talking nonsense without understanding, how could a one-and-a-half-year-old Child remember a one-way Route of nearly 90 minutes?
Guess he wanted to Say he Saw Shops and Big Tree or something.
Mori Kogoro directly ignored a certain one-and-a-half-year-old Child, and asked Ayumi Three People, "Then do you remember what those two people who were arguing said? Are there any Clue?"
"Kurata Freight!" Mitsuhiko recalled, "They mentioned this."
"The culprit seemingly called another person Director Suzuki." Ayumi also said.
Genta immediately interjected, "He called the culprit President Kurata!"
"We also remembered the License Plate Number of that Truck," Mitsuhiko also said, "It's Shinjuku License Plate 1015!"
"It's late today, Tomorrow go to the Company called Kurata Freight and ask," Mori Kogoro picked up the Wine Glass and took a big gulp of Liquor, breathed a sigh of relief, and said intoxicatedly with a smile, "Fragrant and refreshing, with a lingering fragrance after drinking, it's indeed a Famous Liquor that has won the Gold Medal of Excellence at the Panama World Expo!"
"Father, restrain yourself a bit." Mouri Ran reminded speechlessly.
"I Know!" Mori Kogoro ate a piece of Strawberry Crystal Cake, and took another big gulp of Liquor, said with a smile, "But I've been worried for so long tonight, I need to drink two more glasses to soothe my Mood! Eating like this, it feels really great!"
Chi Feichei silently took a sip of Liquor.
His Teacher Mouri is also 'I Know I'm wrong, but I next time will still' in terms of drinking Liquor.
In less than half an Hour, Mori Kogoro knocked his Head on the Table, with a 'thud' sound, and left early.
Conan was stunned for a moment, and looked up at the Wine Bottle.
Thirty-year-old Lao Bai Fen Jiu (Old Bai Fen Wine), 53 Degree...
Uncle is still drinking gulp after gulp, can he still go to Investigation Tomorrow?
...
The next Day.
In front of the Abandoned Building, when Chi Feichei arrived with Sawada Hiroki, Mitsuhiko, Genta, Ayumi, and Conan had already arrived.
Mori Kogoro was absent, the reason was: he had Dinner late last Night, plus drank a lot of Liquor, hangover, drowsiness, lack of Mental State...
After Conan explained, he took out a Business Card and handed it to Chi Feichei, "Uncle Mori also said that you are his Disciple, and it's up to you to lead everyone to Investigation Small Matters like this, this is his Business Card, if you need to ask people about Matters, tell others that you are a Disciple of Famous Detective Mori Kogoro, his Fan will be happy to Help."
Chi Feichei put away the Business Card, "What about that License Plate Number?"
Sawada Hiroki is very Interested in this Case.
He doesn't remember the Details of this Case, he can follow along, just treat it as taking Sawada Hiroki out for a trip.
Although he doesn't remember the Plot of the Case, it's probably not very exciting itself, but compared to those Cases that are boring from the beginning, it can at least retain a little Expectation.
"Uncle Mori made a Phone Call to ask Police Officer Takagi to Help with the Investigation," Conan became more serious, "It is indeed a delivery Truck of a Company called Kurata Freight Company."
"Go in and Check."
Chi Feichei picked up Sawada Hiroki, and led the other Children into the Building.
At the Crime Scene Place that Ayumi, Mitsuhiko, and Genta mentioned, there was no Blood Stain on the Ground.
"Is this the Place you mentioned?" Conan Looked around, there were some scattered cardboard boxes, but there were no Blood Stain.
"Uh-huh!" Ayumi Nodded.
Chi Feichei put down Sawada Hiroki, took out a small Spray Bottle from his Outerwear Pocket, sprayed some liquid on the Ground, Reached Out his Hand to block the Light from Outside.
"Brother Chi, you even brought Luminol Reagent..." Conan secretly clicked his tongue in his Heart, Chi Feichei can always prepare the Things that might be needed whenever he does something, he is indeed Doraemon Chi, but as a Detective, he didn't even think about bringing these before coming, ashamed.
"Uh-huh." Chi Feichei responded, and sprayed a lot of Luminol Reagent on the Ground in the Vicinity again, looking at the Fluorescence that lit up, "Looking at the Blood spatter, it was left by a blunt object hitting the Head."
"After the culprit dealt with the Corpse, he returned here again, cleaned the Blood Stain on the Ground," Conan Looked Towards the cardboard boxes next to him, "and also scattered these cardboard boxes here."
Chi Feichei stood up, relying on this alone, there is still no way to Report to Police and file a Case.
"I Investigated before coming, Kurata Freight is in the Vicinity," Mitsuhiko said, "Why don't we just go over and ask about the Situation!"
Chi Feichei did not object, and took a Group of Mischievous Kid to Kurata Freight Company.
...
"Excuse me, sorry to bother you."
The two young Girls sitting at the Front Desk looked up, Saw a young Man in simple Black Casual Wear, with a calm and composed Expression, walking in through the Door, and immediately stood up.
This was completely a subconscious Action, which made Ayumi Three Mischievous Kid stunned.
Just Like welcoming a leader's inspection...
Conan pulled Chi Feichei's Hem, and teased in a low voice, "Tone it down a bit."
Having been with Chi Feichei for a long time, he was somewhat used to the Aura of Suppression on Chi Feichei, but he could understand the Feeling of these two female Employee.
Just Like when he was Hospitalization last time, when he Saw Chi Feichei bringing Haibara Ai in through the Door, his first Feeling was 'these two are not here to visit the sick, but to seek revenge', the Front Desk receptionist of this Company suddenly looked up and Saw Chi Feichei entering the Door, that Feeling is probably even stronger than when he was Hospitalization...
Chi Feichei ignored Conan's teasing, and handed Mori Kogoro's Business Card to the Front Desk girl, "Hello, I am the Manager of Mori Detective Agency, Mori Kogoro's Disciple, my Teacher is Investigating an Incident, and asked me to come and Understand the Situation of Kurata Freight."
"Ah... hello," the Front Desk girl took the Business Card, lowered her head and Looked.
"Is that the Famous Detective Mori Kogoro?" The long-haired girl behind also Step Forward to Look at the Business Card.
"That... is there something wrong with our Company?" The Front Desk girl looked worried.
Chi Feichei explained, "Yesterday these Children witnessed a Weird Case..."
"Ah!" Mitsuhiko pointed at the Photo hanging on the Wall, and exclaimed, "It's this person!"
Genta also Saw the Photo of the Man with a mustache, "Brother Chi, this Man is the culprit!"
"Older Sister, may I ask if this is your Boss President Kurata?" Conan asked, looking up.
The Front Desk girl Nodded, "That's right."
"Where is he Present?" Ayumi asked eagerly.
"Please quickly take us to find him!" Genta also urged.
"Our President Kurata only arrives at the Company every Afternoon." The long-haired girl said.
"Ah? Have to wait until Afternoon?" Mitsuhiko was also a little anxious, "Then the culprit would have escaped long ago!"
Chi Feichei Looked at Three Children, his Gaze stopped Three Children from clamoring, seeing Three Children obediently quiet down, then Turn Head to ask the two female Employee, "Does your Company have someone named Suzuki?"
"Yes, our Director's surname is Suzuki," the Front Desk girl Turned Around and walked to the Photo Wall, pointing to a Photo, "This is a Photo taken at our Company Dinner Party, the one on the far left is Director Suzuki."
Chi Feichei Looked at the Photo.
There are not many Employee in this Company.
In the Photo, besides the Director surnamed Suzuki, President Kurata, and the two female Employee here, there are only three male Employee.
The Director Suzuki on the far left was slightly sideways, wearing a pair of black-rimmed Glasses, looking very refined, holding a Cigarette in his Hand, and the Ashtray on the low Table in front of him was also filled with Cigarette Butt, Once Seeing, you can tell he is a heavy smoker.
"What is the Relationship between your Director Suzuki and President Kurata?"
"Although they are good Friends who founded the Company together, they have been arguing fiercely recently," the long-haired girl recalled, "I heard that Director Suzuki wants to be Independent and start his own Company, but I'm not very clear about the specific Situation."
"Shinjuku 1015 is the License Plate Number of your Company's Freight Truck, right?" Chi Feichei asked again.
"Yes!" The Front Desk girl Nodded.
"Is the Freight Truck here?"
"Yes, it's in the Garage in the back."
"Can you take us to Look?"
"Okay, please follow me."
Things are going unbelievably smoothly.
Conan felt a little Sigh in his Heart, maybe even without using Uncle's Famous Detective banner, as long as Chi Feichei comes, things can be this smooth.
As soon as he entered the Door, he was suppressed by the Aura.
Arriving at the Garage, the Truck with License Plate Number Shinjuku 1015 was indeed parked in the Garage.
Cardboard boxes were scattered in the Truck Bed, and near the Truck Bed Door, there was indeed a pool of red, but it was not Blood, but red Paint.
"How could this be..." Genta was a little puzzled when he heard Conan say it was just Paint.
"Brother Chi, can Luminol Reagent be used to test for Blood Stain reaction?" Mitsuhiko asked Chi Feichei expectantly.
"Just Now used it all up." Chi Feichei said casually, and walked towards the Front of Car of the Truck.
"Ah..." Mitsuhiko, Genta, Ayumi were immediately disappointed.
Wait!
Conan was stunned for a moment, and immediately understood Chi Feichei's intention.
He clearly remembered that when Chi Feichei put away the Bottle Just Now, he Saw that there was still nearly a quarter of the Reagent unused, the Reason why Chi Feichei said this is Because he doesn't Know where the Criminal is!
If Blood Stain is detected in the Truck Bed of the Truck, it would prove that the Testimony of the Three Children is likely to be true, then they can Report to Police and let the Police intervene in the Investigation, but in this way, it would alarm the Criminal and let the Criminal escape.
Chi Feichei did not do a Blood Stain test on the Truck Bed, based on complete Trust in the Testimony of the Junior Detective League, and also to avoid alerting the enemy.
Next, he should be thinking of a Method to lure out the Criminal who is hiding somewhere!
Chi Feichei walked to the Passenger Seat, squatted down and Looked at the Wheel.
Conan pondered, and followed, looking at the clean Wheel, and said in a low voice, "The culprit should have rinsed the Wheel and Undercarriage of the Car."
"Uh-huh." Chi Feichei also found that the Undercarriage of the Truck was too clean, got up, and Opened the Car Door of the Passenger Seat.
Conan stood on tiptoes and leaned in to Look, suddenly froze for a moment, and immediately Turn Head to Look Towards Chi Feichei.
Chi Feichei Nodded gently, and confirmed the Answer with Conan.
Sawada Hiroki Saw these two playing 'Tacit Agreement Action' again, just about to Reach Out his Hand to pull Chi Feichei's Hem of pants, his Hand stopped halfway, and turned to Conan's Hem, "Brother Conan, I want to Look too~"
Chi Feichei: "..."
Is this the fake Elementary School Student who usually maliciously Acting Cute, encountering another fake Child who maliciously Acting Cute?

"But Xiao Shu is really well-behaved," Ayumi praised, "didn't cry or fuss."
"Then did the culprit bury the Corpse in the Mountains?" Conan asked further.
