Chapter 630 What are the conditions at Xiao Shu's Home?
Half an hour later, Chi Feichei brought Sawada Hiroki to Doctor Agasa's House for their daily Lunch.
Haibara Ai was a little surprised that Chi Feichei would come over, but having Delicious Food to eat and being able to check Conan's Test results in passing was also pretty good.
After Meal, Conan saw Chi Feichei and Doctor Agasa go to wash the Dishes, and he approached Sawada Hiroki, who was playing with Hissashi, and Stare.
Sawada Hiroki looked up at Conan, "Older Brother Conan, what's wrong?"
Conan choked. Facing such a innocent and childish face, he really couldn't say anything too harsh. He tried hard to keep a straight Face, "Okay, stop acting and trying to fool me, I already know everything."
Sawada Hiroki looked at Conan with a blank face.
When Godfather received Doctor Agasa's Phone Call, he guessed that this Fellow Conan intended to Test him. They had already rehearsed various Situations.
Stay calm.
Conan looked at Sawada Hiroki's blank face and became a little hesitant, but he still continued to Test, "You're not an ordinary Child, are you?"
Sawada Hiroki Nod, his small Face serious, "I will become as amazing as Kamen Rider in the future, I'm not an ordinary Child."
Conan: "..."
(＿＿)ノ｜Wall
How was he supposed to respond to that?
It would be easier to question him if he had Evidence, but he wasn't even sure now.
After a moment of Silence, Conan asked directly, "Yesterday, you intentionally acted spoiled and asked me to hold you, but you were actually acting to deceive me, right?"
Sawada Hiroki hesitated for a moment, "Deceive you? ... But, that's just how you are, you like to speak in that Tone, and then Face Changing, I just wanted to know why, so... I learned from you a little."
Conan: "..."
(＿＿)ノ｜Wall
Did that mean he had corrupted the Child?
"Are you deceiving other People?" Sawada Hiroki lowered his voice and asked.
Conan: "..."
(＿＿)ノ｜Wall
Should he admit it? Or deny it?
Haibara Ai, who was paying Attention from Aside, couldn't stand it anymore and spoke up to Help, "Xiao Shu, where are your Father and Mother?"
Sawada Hiroki was stunned for a moment, not expecting Haibara Ai to be part of the Test, "They're both Death."
Haibara Ai: "..."
These Words... she couldn't continue.
Her Parents had also passed away early, and she suddenly felt that it wasn't strange for Xiao Shu to be more sensible and calm than ordinary Children.
"Then do you have any other Relatives?" Conan no longer kept a straight Face.
"I have Grandpa and Grandmother, and Godfather..." Sawada Hiroki said.
"Godfather?" Conan paid Attention to the changes in Sawada Hiroki's Expression, "Generally, Children in Japan are not born to receive Baptism, right? Are your Parents or Grandpa and Grandmother Christian?"
"My Mother was, my Father wasn't," Sawada Hiroki recounted, "It was Mother's Last Wish."
Conan didn't see any Trace of Lying from Sawada Hiroki. When he spoke of his Parents, the Emotion in the Child's Eyes was very real, a little downcast, but it didn't seem too sad either.
Perhaps he was too young and didn't have much concept or too much sadness about the Death of his Parents.
Sawada Hiroki was very calm. After Saying that, he continued to lie on the Sofa and pet Hissashi.
He naturally wouldn't reveal any Opening of Lying, Because he wasn't really Lying.
He couldn't control his facial Emotions as meticulously as Godfather, and could only express the Emotions he wanted People to See, but Godfather had also taught him that as long as it wasn't a question that must be answered with 'YES' or 'NO', he could Handle it by mixing Truth and Falsehood.
Using this Method, as long as he didn't dwell on the Lie part in his Heart and didn't have a sense of guilt for Lying, and selectively thought about the part that wasn't a Lie, not only would his Expression and Gaze not have any Problems, but even a lie detector might not be able to detect it.
Simply put, it was to deceive Oneself first.
Today, this was also a Test question that Godfather had given him, and he had to Perform well.
"Oh? He's leaving the day after Tomorrow?" Over there, Doctor Agasa and Chi Feichei had also finished washing the Dishes.
"The day after Tomorrow morning, or maybe Tomorrow Night," Chi Feichei wiped his Hands with a Towel, "He's going to Grandpa and Grandmother's Place."
He wasn't Lying either. Sawada Hiroki did intend to go to Britain to Play for a few days after his Body disappeared.
Conan was stunned. Leaving Tomorrow or the day after Tomorrow?
If Xiao Shu was Shrinking like them, then he should want to contact them, right?
Leaving so quickly, it was too sudden!
"Are his Grandpa and Grandmother in Tokyo?" Doctor Agasa asked.
"In Britain." Chi Feichei said.
"Oh? Are they Kana's Friends in Britain?" Doctor Agasa asked again.
Chi Feichei: "Yes, his Grandpa has a very good Relationship with my Mother."
Sawada Hiroki had originally been thinking about doing this acting Test well, but he had gone Morning Exercise with Chi Feichei early in the morning and gone to the Metropolitan Police Department to take a Written Statement. A year and a half old Child's Stamina was exhausted again.
Therefore, just as Conan turned his Head to Look at Sawada Hiroki, he found that the little one had already fallen asleep on the Sofa.
"Xiao Shu has fallen asleep?" Doctor Agasa also noticed the sleeping Sawada Hiroki, "Then let's send him to my Room to sleep, he might catch a Cold Outside."
"I took him for Morning Exercise this morning." Chi Feichei picked up Sawada Hiroki.
"Mo-Morning Exercise?!" Doctor Agasa turned around to lead the way to the Room, somewhat surprised.
"Children fall asleep when they are tired from Playing," Chi Feichei followed behind, carrying Sawada Hiroki, "It's worry-free to take care of him."
Doctor Agasa: "..."
Conan and Haibara Ai stayed in the Original Place. After Chi Feichei and Doctor Agasa entered the Room, Conan touched his chin and lowered his Head to ponder, "He doesn't seem to be Lying..."
"He's not the Same as us." Haibara Ai said firmly.
Conan turned his Head to Look at Haibara Ai, "It's still hard to Say now, right? He was actually able to make both of us speechless. If he is good at concealing Oneself and is intentionally blocking our Words, then..."
"Haven't you noticed?" Haibara Ai said, "Although our Bodies have shrunk, our energy hasn't decreased much. If he shrank after taking that Medication, his energy wouldn't be so much worse than ours. You also Said that last Night after the Corpse was found and the Police were notified, he fell asleep in the Car on the way back."
Conan recalled for a moment. Indeed, Xiao Shu's Performance in terms of Stamina and energy was the Same as a year and a half old Child. He and Haibara Ai were stronger than their peers.
In addition... No, it still needs to be confirmed.
That day, the Famous Detective guarded Sawada Hiroki's sleep for more than two Hours, confirming that a certain little one was really sleeping. After Dinner, he even used the Excuse of Playing Video Game to follow Chi Feichei Home to continue Observation.
Chi Feichei was relieved and threw the Task of keeping him company to Conan. He himself held his Computer and secretly Looked at Bomb Assembly Data Aside.
Conan played Video Game with Sawada Hiroki for several Hours and found that when the little one's Attention was focused, he was indeed much stronger than his peers, but after concentrating, he easily became sleepy.
In the Night, Conan again proposed to sleep with Sawada Hiroki.
Chi Feichei naturally wouldn't object, moved Sawada Hiroki's Cot to Conan's Room. With Conan taking care of him, he returned to his Room and continued to Look at Bomb Assembly Data.
One Night passed, and Conan completely dispelled his Suspicion.
Taking Children to Play until they are tired can really make them sleep until dawn. It seems like he has discovered some Weird secret tip for raising Children... cough, in short, Xiao Shu's energy is about the Same as a year and a half old Child, and even Because his energy is more concentrated during Activities, his sleep Time is longer than other year and a half old Children.
Looking at it this way, it's more like he was trained by his Guardians.
Could it be that Xiao Shu is just a little too much of a Genius Because of his innate Memory?
The Famous Detective decided to squat down and wait to See the Situation of Xiao Shu's Family members who would come to pick him up.
Chi Feichei silently asked Koizumi Akako for Help.
That Night, a little after eight o'clock, Koizumi Akako's Old Butler came to the Door.
Koizumi Akako's Old Butler from the Witchcraft Family was short and slightly hunched over, with snow-white Hair. He looked quite old, wearing a red Formal Suit, with a white and flat Shirt underneath. At first glance, he looked very classy.
After Chi Feichei opened the Door, he Observed him a few more times.
He had specially tidied up his clothes and Hair, and even the Cufflinks were Antique Items, estimated to be worth at least ten to twenty thousand US Dollar.
He didn't know if it was Koizumi Akako's Intention, or the Old Butler's own preparation...
The Old Butler bowed solemnly, "I am ordered to pick up Young Master Xiao Shu. My Master asked me to send her regards to you on her behalf."
This was the Child of Nature, he had to take it seriously!
Conan, who followed to the Entrance Hall, was Be Confused.
The 'Master' that this Old Person spoke of should be Xiao Shu's Grandmother, right?
Even using Words like 'ordered' and 'Master'...
What are the conditions at Xiao Shu's Home, seriously!
Sawada Hiroki probably guessed that this was Chi Feichei's Arrangement. He Looked at Chi Feichei, walked to the Entrance, "Are we leaving now?"
"Yes." The Old Butler straightened up, still with a serious Face, and looked like he didn't talk much.
"Then..." Sawada Hiroki turned his Head to Look at Chi Feichei and Conan, "I'm leaving, I'll have a chance to catch Criminals together again next time."
Conan suddenly felt a bit of melancholy about parting, and Nod smilingly, "Okay~ Let's Play together again next time!"
The Old Butler stepped Aside to wait for Sawada Hiroki to Go Out. He bowed to Chi Feichei again before turning around and following Sawada Hiroki to leave. After entering the Elevator, he finally let out a long breath.
Hongzi-sama suddenly wanted him to come to See the Child of Nature, it was too rushed, and he hadn't prepared well.
Thinking carefully, there shouldn't be anything impolite just now, right? When leaving, should he have Said a few Blessing Message to be better?
Saying Blessing Message is a bit too tacky, but not Saying it seems to be disrespectful.
The Elevator went All the way down. Sawada Hiroki Observed the Old Butler's Reaction, "You were very nervous just now, is it Because of Seeing my Godfather?"
The Old Butler was stunned, and Looked down at Sawada Hiroki, "Did I Perform very nervously just now? Was it a bit unnatural? Would it seem very rude?"
"Uh..." Sawada Hiroki had black lines all over his Face. This Old Person's Heart seemed to be more nervous than he showed, "No, you Performed very well."
"Phew..." The Old Butler withdrew his Line of Sight.
"You are Witch Lady's People, right?" Sawada Hiroki thought for a while. When his Body was about to expire, the only People Godfather could trust to pick him up should be Witch Lady's People.
"Yes, I am currently considered Hongzi-sama's Butler," the Old Butler said seriously, "Responsible for taking care of Hongzi-sama's Daily Routine."
"Hongzi-sama..." Sawada Hiroki said, "Then do you also add 'sama' when Appellation my Godfather?"
"Of course, if he needs it," the Old Butler was stunned, and then fell into a new tangle, "Even when he doesn't need it, I should still Appellation him like that, but Hongzi-sama specifically instructed me not to Say that, but not Appellation him like that seems very rude. As a Butler, when encountering People with a higher class than Hongzi-sama, for Hongzi-sama's sake, I should be more respectful and not listen to Hongzi-sama's willful Arrangement, no, no, this doesn't seem to be Hongzi-sama's willful Arrangement either, but their common Intention..."
Sawada Hiroki: "..."
Are People of the Mysticism System all so mumbo-jumbo?
Ding—
Elevator door opened.
End of Chapter
Half an hour later, Chi Feichei brought Sawada Hiroki to Doctor Agasa's House for their daily Lunch.
