Chapter 633: None of These Students Are Reliable
The next day, 3:30 PM.
Downstairs at the Mouri Detective Agency.
Chi Feichei leaned against the car door, making a phone call to Koizumi Akako who had arrived in London.
"What about your final exam?"
"I told the Teacher that I'll return to school for make-up exams after the summer vacation," Koizumi Akako said fearlessly, "Compared to forming a Legion, going to school and facing those little boys is just too boring."
"Be careful, don't be reckless," Chi Feichei reminded, "There aren't many people who can get the better of you like Spider, but there are at least ten or more in this World."
"When have I ever suffered a loss at his hands?" Koizumi Akako felt this was slander against herself.
Chi Feichei was too lazy to explain. Last time, if it weren't for him, Koizumi Akako would definitely have suffered a loss at Spider's hands.
"Okay, don't worry, I'll be careful," Koizumi Akako didn't act tough.
Not to mention Spider and those people, The Vatican is her biggest headache.
If she acts recklessly in the West, she's afraid of being caught and burned to death...
"Help me keep an eye on Spider's Movement. He doesn't seem to have any performances recently."
Chi Feichei expressed his longing for Spider, but Koizumi Akako didn't think Spider would miss Chi Feichei at all.
Why hasn't Spider had any performances recently? Isn't it because of a certain fellow!
"Okay, I'll help you keep an eye on his Movement..." Koizumi Akako said, "But I can't guarantee whether I can find him or not."
"It's okay, just pay attention to relevant News when you have Time," Chi Feichei said, and suddenly asked, "Do the boring little boys at school you mentioned include Kaito?"
"Kaito..." Koizumi Akako was awkwardly silent for two seconds, "I seem to have forgotten to say goodbye to Kaito. Could you help me... Never mind, I'll Call him myself later... The Car has arrived Downstairs at the Umbrella Corporation Building. The Outside the Building looks very technological."
Chi Feichei: "..."
He couldn't respond to that. He hadn't been to the Umbrella Company since it was established.
"I see Mr. Shinnosuke, so I'll stop talking for now..."
"Wait, give him the Mobile Phone."
"Okay..."
Koizumi Akako didn't understand why, but she still went to communicate for Chi Feichei.
Chi Feichei leaned against the Car Door, quietly listening to the whispers on the Phone Call.
After a moment, Chi Shinnosuke's calm voice came through, "What's the matter?"
"Concealing Mother's matter was my Idea," Chi Feichei said, "But Mr. Shinnosuke, please speak to me more gently and patiently in the future."
"I'll try my best," Chi Shinnosuke added, "Do you have anything else?"
Chi Feichei: "Nothing else..."
"Beep..."
Chi Feichei: "..."
This 'I'll try my best' has no Sincerity at all!
...London.
Chi Shinnosuke handed the Mobile Phone back to Koizumi Akako, feeling relieved.
He still remembered when his Son was at Aoyama Fourth Hospital, not staying there for Treatment properly, insisting that he find a host Family, and then causing trouble at the host Family's Home.
And threatening him that if he didn't Help, he would keep Call harassing him...
Threatening Parents is too much, it can't be tolerated!
...Tokyo.
Chi Feichei put away his Mobile Phone, feeling quite good.
It's a kind of happiness to have someone you can act shamelessly with, regardless of whether you succeed or not.
It's much better than the Family keeping Worries to themselves before.
Behind him, talking sounds came from the Stairwell Downstairs at the Mouri Detective Agency.
"Ran, don't forget to bring the Meal Coupon..."
"I know, I won't forget. But you, Dad, don't get drunk again..."
"I don't have to drive today, what's wrong with drinking a little more..."
Conan arrived Downstairs first, saw Chi Feichei's Car at a Glance, and stepped forward to greet him obediently, "Brother Chi! Hassashi!"
Because the Weather was hot, Chi Feichei was no longer wearing a Coat, simply putting on a loose Long-Sleeved T-Shirt.
Hassashi didn't hide under his Clothes either, wrapping around Chi Feichei's Neck to help cool down and block the Sun. Hearing Conan's greeting, it lazily flicked its Snake Tongue to show that it was still alive.
"Brother Hichiji, Sorry for keeping you waiting!" Mouri Ran came Downstairs, stepped forward with Mori Kogoro, and happily shared with Chi Feichei, "I won a Meal Coupon for a High-end Restaurant in Yokohama Chinatown a Few Days Ago. Dad plans to go there today. Because you usually like Chinese Cuisine very much, I thought of inviting you to go together. I tried hard to participate in the Lottery, and I really won enough Meal Coupons!"
Chi Feichei: "..."
Magical 'tried hard to win enough Meal Coupons'.
The Top Prize of others must have been taken away by Mouri Ran again.
"There was originally one more," Mouri Ran was still a little regretful, "I wanted to ask my Mother to go with us, but after the Meal Coupon was sent to her, she said that she had to prepare for the court hearing the day after tomorrow these Few Days, and she would go if she had Time."
"Then let's go and Check it out first," Conan said expectantly, "Maybe we can have a sumptuous Chinese Cuisine Meal."
Chi Feichei Nodded in Cooperation, having already given up Expectation in his Heart.
With Conan coming along, whether they can even have Dinner tonight is a Problem.
However, whether they eat or not is not important. He had already had an extra Meal Before coming. He hadn't been to Yokohama Chinatown, so going to stroll around is also good.
"The Meal Coupon for that Chinese Restaurant doesn't seem to specify whether Pets are allowed in the Shop..." Mori Kogoro Saw Hassashi wrapped around Chi Feichei's Neck.
If he wasn't also familiar with Hassashi, he would find it strange and eerie when he Saw it.
He hoped his eldest disciple wouldn't be driven out as a Black Wizard as soon as he entered the Shop.
"Generally, it's not allowed," Conan said.
"Hassashi will definitely hide well," Mouri Ran said Smilingly, looking at Hassashi, "Right?"
Hassashi turned its Head and burrowed under Chi Feichei's Clothes, only revealing its Head resting on the edge of the Collar.
Mouri Ran couldn't help but chuckle, Smilingly saying, "You can't tell at all!"
"What kind of hiding is that? Others can see that Snake Head at a Glance," Mori Kogoro couldn't stand to see his Daughter talking nonsense with her eyes open, opened the Passenger Seat Car Door, and sat inside, "Let's hurry up and set off. If we arrive at Chinatown early, we still need to find where that Shop is."
Chi Feichei also got into the Car. After waiting for Conan and Mouri Ran to get into the Car and sit down, he drove off.
Along the way, Mouri Ran kept her Head down, reading a History Book and Recitation.
"Who proposed the 'Twelve Articles of Sealed Opinion' to Emperor Ti Hu..."
Closing the Book.
"San Shan Qingxing!"
Opening the Book.
"What is the name of the Drawing depicting Buddha descending to Pure Land?"
Closing the Book.
"Saints Welcoming Painting."
Chi Feichei listened while driving.
Finally, it felt a bit like the Final Exam was approaching for Students.
Mouri Ran continued to Open the Book, "In the Heian Period, regarding..."
Mori Kogoro felt his Mind buzzing from listening, and couldn't help but say, "Hey, please! Stop reciting, my Head is about to explode!"
"I can't help it," Mouri Ran retorted, "There's a History Exam at School Tomorrow, but there have been too many Club Activities recently, and I haven't been able to study properly at all..."
"Then you shouldn't have come," Mori Kogoro said speechlessly, "Wouldn't it have been better to stay at Home and study properly?"
"The Meal Coupon was won by me," Mouri Ran said dissatisfiedly, leaning forward to Mori Kogoro in the Passenger Seat, "Do you want me to stay at Home and study alone? That's so boring. Besides, today is supposed to be my treat for Brother Hichiji and Conan, not for you, this stingy Uncle who only knows how to bet on Horse Racing and Pachinko even though you have Money!"
Critical hit! Mori Kogoro's Face darkened. Doesn't a Father need Face? It's okay in front of Kid Conan, but can't she save him some Face in front of his disciple, "Then you can study when we get back!"
"It will be too late then," Mouri Ran sat back, opened the Book, pressed down the Ballpoint Pen, and said seriously, "Tonight is the Final Competition of the Inter-Genre Singing Competition. I want to wait and see who wins the Champion in the end, and there's also a TV Drama I want to watch."
Chi Feichei: "..."
None of these Students around him are reliable.
Mouri Ran is—Go Out to play? Yes! Watch Television? Yes! Read Book? Read Book... Read Book, just try to squeeze in Time.
This counts as Effort.
Conan is—Elementary School Student's questions? Easy! Elementary School Student's Homework? Almost none! Go Out to play? That's a must! Solve a Case? That's top priority!
Koizumi Akako is—Final Exam? What's that? Not as important as being Queen! Summer Homework? What's that? Not as important as being Queen! What? What if I fail the Exam? Find a way to negotiate with the Teacher to solve it. If negotiation doesn't work, solve it with Magic!
Kuroba Kaito is—Homework? Recitation? Revision? What are those things? Never seen them before! Even class suspension doesn't exist, okay? Fail the Exam? It's impossible to fail. Exams are easy peasy, don't let it affect his thinking about which Big Gem to steal tonight!
According to the News from Feimo's Subordinates, every time they inadvertently see Kuroba Kaito during class time at Ekoda High School, Kuroba Kaito is either sleeping on the Table, or secretly performing Magic Trick to flirt with girls, or being caught by the Teacher and made to stand as punishment...
In the Back Seat, Conan acted cute with an innocent Face, "But, isn't it easy to get Motion Sickness when reading a Book in the Car?"
"No, Don't Worry," Mouri Ran said Smilingly, "My Semicircular Canals are very strong!"
"Actually, the pathogenesis of Motion Sickness is not clear at present," Chi Feichei corrected, "The vestibular organ hypersensitivity theory is just one of them. There are also sensory conflict theory, neural mismatch theory, hemodynamics change theory..."
Mori Kogoro raised his Hand and weakly held his Head.
Let him off!
And has this Kid forgotten that he is a Veterinarian?
He doesn't do anything a Veterinarian should do all day long, and he can even talk about Medical Knowledge for Humans in a systematic way. Doesn't his eldest disciple think he looks like a fake Veterinarian...?
"Patta!" Raindrop hit the Car Window.
Chi Feichei didn't continue speaking and turned on the Windshield Wiper.
Mori Kogoro raised his Eyes, "It's raining..."
"There are Umbrellas in the Car," Chi Feichei said, and added, "Three."
Conan chuckled dryly in his Heart. Going out with Chi Feichei really doesn't require worrying. He guessed that Chi Feichei was also carrying disposable gloves, evidence bag, emergency medicine, and maybe even a flashlight and other Things that might not be used...
Mouri Ran turned her Head to look at the Rain Threads falling Outside the window, and some unclear Scenes flashed in her Mind again.
Late at Night, in an unfamiliar Street, the Man wearing a Knit Cap stood in the Rain...
Afterwards, it was Kudo Shinichi getting wet in the Rain, with a slightly sad and slightly gentle expression...
But she couldn't remember what exactly happened at that Time.
"Ran," Conan turned his Head and Saw Mouri Ran frowning and spacing out. Seeing Mouri Ran regaining her senses and looking over, he pointed at his eyebrows and acted cute, "What's wrong? You've been frowning here just now, looking so serious..."
"Because there's a Problem I can't figure out no matter what..." Mouri Ran explained, opening the Book intending to continue reading, but as soon as she lowered her Head, she found her vision blurring.
Crap, Motion Sickness...
