Chapter 669: Does He Have Paranoia? [Chi Feichei Birthday Bonus Chapter]
Before the five Little Devils could figure things out, Coach Dong Tian Yue caught up to them.
Coach Dong Tian Yue had originally gone to the Washroom to look for Conan, but when he didn't find him there, he hurried back to check. He saw A Group of Children standing outside the Tennis Court talking, and that settled it.
Continue Training!
Seeing this, Conan could only suppress the questions in his Heart and decided to mention it to Chi Feichei on the way Home after Training.
It would be better to ask Chi Feichei directly anyway.
After sparring in pairs, they continued with action correction.
With Coach Dong Tian Yue's coaxing and praise, even though Training was boring, Time passed quickly. No one gave up or slacked off, and even Genta persevered to the end.
It wasn't until they were about to change Clothes and go Home that Genta belatedly realized how tired he was. Once they reached the Changing Room, he collapsed onto the bench for changing Shoes. "I'm so tired," he groaned, "My hands are sore. Do we have to do this kind of Training again tomorrow?"
"No," Conan said, seeing that Genta's spirits had recovered a bit. Before Genta could even sit up, Conan added with a Morbid Taste, "Coach Toda said we won't be doing so much Swing Training tomorrow, but we'll be adding running Training."
"Ah..." Genta slumped again, his mind racing. Could he pretend to be sick and skip Training tomorrow?
"Genta, you better not..."
Mitsuhiko hadn't finished speaking when Chi Feichei interrupted him.
"Go Out."
In the Changing Room, the light from the Incandescent Lamp was a bit pale. Chi Feichei stood with his back to them in front of the Locker. His voice, calm to the point of being cold, stunned the Three People.
"Everyone out," Chi Feichei repeated, Turning Around to Stare at the Three Little Devils as they walked towards the Entrance. "Hurry."
"Uh..." Feeling pressured by his Gaze, Genta scrambled up from the bench and walked towards the Entrance, a little scared. "Y-yes, I understand."
Mitsuhiko followed him a couple of steps, but still couldn't resist Turning his Head back. "But..."
But why was he suddenly so fierce in driving them out?
They hadn't done anything wrong... Grievance.
Conan tugged at Mitsuhiko, signaling him to do as he was told.
Just Now, he had also thought Chi Feichei was having a Mental Dislocation. But then he Realized that Chi Feichei had only Spoken Out suddenly after Going To the Locker. He Looked Up for a Glance and only then Discovered that the lock of the Locker in front of Chi Feichei seemed to have Traces of being pried open.
It just happened to be the compartment where Chi Feichei put his Things.
Once the Three Children reached the Entrance, Chi Feichei also followed them out. He took his right hand out of his Pants Pocket, and it turned out he was holding a Tennis Ball.
Mitsuhiko and Genta were even more confused when they Saw that Chi Feichei had also followed them to the Entrance and was holding a Tennis Ball.
Brother Chi wasn't driving them out, but he came out himself? What was he trying to do? Was he having an episode?
Uh, well, they should be understanding then.
On the day they accepted Brother Chi, they had made this Mental Preparation. It was just that Brother Chi had always Performed so Normally that they...
"Bang!"
Chi Feichei forcefully threw the Tennis Ball in his hand, hitting the compartment of the Locker squarely.
To be precise, it was smashed on the lock head.
The Tennis Ball bounced back after being thrown forcefully, then hit the opposite Cabinet and shoe rack, creating a series of crackling and banging sounds.
"Bang! Bang! Pop!"
Quickly, the second Tennis Ball that Chi Feichei threw also hit the lock head hard, and the Tennis Ball bounced back again.
The lock of the Cabinet had already been pried open. After Chi Feichei found the right Angle and smashed it twice, the lock popped open immediately.
From the Changing Room across the way, Haibara Ai and Ayumi, who hadn't had Time to change Clothes, opened the Door and poked their heads out.
"Did something happen?" Ayumi asked, looking questioningly at A Group of People standing at the Entrance of the Men's Changing Room.
Chi Feichei didn't answer. He wasn't in a hurry to enter the Door either. He squatted down, Took Out a Tennis Ball from Conan's Pants Pocket, found the Angle, and smashed it out again.
Conan: "..."
He had forgotten to Take Out the Tennis Ball he had casually put in his Pocket earlier. He hadn't expected Chi Feichei to See it too.
"Bang!"
The Tennis Ball Inside the Room smashed open that compartment of the Locker directly and bounced towards the Entrance.
Chi Feichei quickly closed the Door, listening to the 'pop' of the Tennis Ball hitting the Door, followed by continuous 'bang' and 'pop' sounds of Destruction Inside the Changing Room.
Haibara Ai Stepped Forward and cast a Doubtful Gaze at Conan, Genta, and Mitsuhiko.
What exactly is going on?
Mitsuhiko and Genta responded with blank faces.
Don't ask them. Brother Chi probably has Mental Dislocation.
But it was a good thing that Brother Chi hadn't forgotten to drive them out before smashing the Tennis Balls.
If they were still Inside, they Guess they would have had to squat down and cover their heads.
The Sound of the Tennis Balls smashing against the Cabinet Door made them feel pain just listening to it.
"Click."
Chi Feichei reopened the Door. Inside the Room, everything had returned to calm. Three Tennis Balls were scattered everywhere, and the Cabinet Door of the Locker was wide Open.
Conan couldn't help but Ask, "You don't Suspect there's a Bomb in there, do you?"
Chi Feichei made an 'Uh-huh' Sound, and only then did he enter the Door.
Bomb?
Haibara Ai's eyelid twitched. She Asked seriously, "What exactly is going on?"
"Someone messed with Brother Chi's Cabinet. The Locker lock has Traces of being pried open," Conan said, Speechless.
Thinking about how Chi Feichei had brain-imagined Last Time in the Elevator that the Murderer would block the Elevator and open fire... He Suspects Chi Feichei has Paranoia!
But, Last Time the Murderer really did Intend to block the Elevator and Gun down Chi Feichei. It's just that Chi Feichei's brain-imagination was a Mistake This Time. There was no Bomb.
"So, that's why you made us Go Out?" Mitsuhiko breathed a sigh of relief. He had thought they had made Chi Feichei angry, or that Chi Feichei was having a Mental Dislocation. Luckily, it was just a misunderstanding.
Chi Feichei didn't explain. He maintained a certain distance from the Locker and walked into the Door.
In that Moment Just Now when he Saw the Locker, he had indeed brain-imagined many Possibilities.
When he was distracted by the pry marks on the Cabinet Door, it was also very Possible that he would be attacked.
He had Observed when entering the Door that someone must have come in after they left. But when they came back in, Little Black wasn't there, so he could rule out that Possibility.
At the same time, there were no projectile Mechanisms or Weapons of that kind on the opposite side or the sides, so he could also rule out the Possibility of a Mechanism attack.
The Possibility of an attack was ruled out, but there might still be a Problem inside the Cabinet.
Robbed? Stolen? Are there troublemakers who want to harm me? If nothing is missing from Inside, then could there be something extra? Something like Blood-stained Clothes or a Weapon to frame someone? Or something like a Bomb, Snake, or Toxin that would kill upon opening the Door?
Although he hadn't heard the click of an electronically detonated Bomb, what if it was a touch-sensitive Bomb or something else?
In any case, he couldn't open the Door manually!
He Thought of using Tennis Balls to smash open the Door. When he said 'Go Out', he also Considered that this could all be a Trap. Someone might be anticipating his Idea, forcing him to Go Out, and planning to shoot him while he was off guard... But thinking about it, that was Unlikely.
Not many people were that arrogant, and not many people understood him that well either. People who understood him, were arrogant, and wanted him dead? Probably none.
But he still Decided to let the Children Go Out first, to Guarantee victory.
If someone was coming for him and raised a Gun in advance, waiting to instantly kill him as soon as he Stepped Out, then the Muzzle would be aimed High, pre-Aiming at the approximate Altitude of his Head or Heart. The Children Going Out first weren't tall enough; that Bullet wouldn't hit them. He, following closely behind, could then smash the person down with a Tennis Ball.
If the Other Party didn't raise a Gun in advance, then by the time they raised the Gun, he, being prepared, could Take One Step Ahead and smash the Tennis Ball in his hand at them.
As For whether the Other Party was coming for the Children, raising a Gun in advance and Aiming at the Children's height...
That's Impossible!
If the Other Party was coming for the Children, there was No Need to go to so much trouble, setting up Traps and calculations. They could just find an Opportunity to take a Gun and rush forward to kill this Group of Little Devils.
Was this Paranoia? No, he wouldn't admit it.
There were too many Dangers in this World. Think about Tequila, who was innocently bombed to death. Think about Gin, whose Helicopter could be shot down by Conan with just a retractable belt and a Helmet. Think again about how Tequila was already dead, while Gin was Still Alive...
After Comparison, it proved that his cautiousness was not a Mistake.
Conan still didn't Know that Chi Feichei's brain-imagination and calculations in that short Time Just Now were far more extensive than he could have imagined. Seeing Chi Feichei enter the Door, he also followed and Looked Up at the Locker.
Empty!
That compartment of the Locker was empty. The Backpack that Chi Feichei had put in earlier was gone.
Chi Feichei was Silent for a Bit, then said, "Good thing Hissashi isn't here."
Conan: "..."
Hey, it's already been stolen... Okay, well, if Hissashi had been here, given Hissashi's Hangover and still being asleep, plus the fact that they and Chi Feichei were all going to play Tennis and wouldn't have Time to look after Hissashi, Hissashi would most likely have been put in the Backpack and placed in the Locker... No, looking at Chi Feichei's expression, that's exactly what he was planning to do. In that case, it wouldn't just be lost Things now, they would also have to rush to find Hissashi.
Haibara Ai followed him into the Door and also Saw the empty Locker. She looked up and Asked Chi Feichei, "Brother Hichiji, what Things did you have in your Backpack?"
"Mobile Phone, Bank card, Home Key, Car Key, a Portion of Cash, the Clothes I changed out of, and some Things in the Clothes Pocket, like Hemostatic Medicine, Anti-Inflammatory Medicine, and Disposable Alcohol Swabs."
As Chi Feichei said this, he silently reflected in his Heart.
Mistake! All his Equipment was in the pockets of his original Clothes. After changing into Tennis Wear, he hadn't brought anything else with him. Now he had Nothing on him.
But Luckily, today was just a day to Go Out and play. There were no Action Necessities like APTX-4869 in his Backpack, nothing related to the Organization. The Mobile Phone Password would lock after three incorrect unlock attempts, and only Ark could Open it. There was No Need to worry about anything being discovered if someone took his Things.
"You didn't put any Company Confidential Files or anything like that in there, did you?" Haibara Ai Realized that Chi Feichei's Car Key had also been taken and Asked again, "What about in the Car?"
"No, there's only my Driver's License and Personal Health Insurance and things like that in the Car," Chi Feichei said, Turning Around to Go Out. "I'll Go To the Front Desk for a moment."
Chi Feichei used the Landline Phone at the Front Desk and made just One Phone Call to His Dad.
"Father, my Backpack is gone. My Mobile Phone is in it."
"Understood."
One Sentence each, Communication completed, and he hung up the Phone Call.
Conan followed him closely, but didn't have Time to clearly hear what Chi Feichei had Said. He just Saw Chi Feichei hang up the Phone Call. "Uh, can't you get through to the Emergency Call?"
How could he not get through to the Emergency Call? That shouldn't be possible.
"I didn't Report to Police," Chi Feichei Said.
After Reporting to Police, he would have to explain Personal Information, the specific Situation, Information about what was in the Backpack, and there would be repeated Communication. It would be very Troublesome.
It was much simpler to just Say it directly to His Dad.
One of his cards was a Bank card from a Bank under the Field Group. He could temporarily set it to a State where Transfers required repeated Confirmation. If someone tried to Transfer Money from his Account, not only would they be unable to Transfer it out, but their Location would also be easily traced by the Bank and Ark.
Another card was used to Transfer out Bounty, Organization Funds, and other Dirty Money. If he didn't Take Out Cash, that Money would be scattered in Bank Accounts in Switzerland. Only when he needed Cash would he Transfer Money to the card and then Take Out the Money. So, there was only change of less than 100 Japanese Yen in the card. If it was lost, it was lost.
Also, by Calling Chi Shinnosuke, he was also Intending for Chi Shinnosuke to Help him Locate his Mobile Phone.
His Mobile Phone had originally been prepared by Chi Shinnosuke. With Ark's Help, he would soon have News. In the Time it would take to Report to Police, he could probably find his Things himself.
As For whether Chi Shinnosuke understood his meaning... Well, he would just assume Chi Shinnosuke did.
