Chapter 766 We Watch the Show...
Half an hour later, Kenkyo Station was still filled with the rumbling of machinery, without any disturbance or Police arriving.
In the car, Belmode breathed a long sigh of relief and drove away.
At the street corner behind, Akai Shuichi hesitated for a moment, then spoke into his earphone, "Target leaving, you guys follow, be careful, don't get discovered..."
Coming to the Station before dawn and squatting for more than three hours, leaving without doing anything, were they here to confirm some news?
Then, the key should still be this Station that is still under construction.
Not long after Belmode drove away, Haibara Ai looked at the location displayed on the Spare Tracking Glasses, lowered her head and walked into the Station, all the way to the Storage Room.
Two construction workers curiously stopped working.
"Little Girl, are you separated from your family?"
"This place is under construction, it's unsafe. If you are separated from your family, you can go outside and ask passersby for help, let them take you to the Police Department."
Haibara Ai distinguished the location, confirming that the location displayed by the Tracking Glasses was in the Locker behind the two, and pretended to be a Child, using a Child's tone, "No, I'm playing hide-and-seek with my friend, he seems to have run in here."
"Really?"
The two construction workers looked at each other in confusion.
"But when we came in, we didn't see any Children."
"He's a very naughty person..." Haibara Ai sarcastically mocked Conan in her heart, and walked to the Locker on her own.
In the Locker, Conan was awakened by the approaching Footsteps. His Consciousness was still stuck before he fell asleep. He found that his Body was completely unable to move, and could only watch helplessly as the Door of the Locker was opened.
Light shone into the Locker, and outside was Haibara Ai bending down and looking in.
Conan was stunned for a moment, "Ha-Haibara?"
Haibara Ai looked at Conan, who was shrinking in the Locker, with a puzzled expression, "What are you doing here?"
Conan took a deep breath of the still turbid air in the Underground Level, but felt much better than before when he was in the Locker. He looked at Haibara Ai blankly, "Why are you here again?"
"I saw that it was already dawn, and you and Doctor Agasa hadn't returned Home yet, so I used that Spare Tracking Glasses to track your Detective Badge and found you here," Haibara Ai explained.
"Ah? It's already dawn?" Conan was surprised, and quickly climbed out of the Locker.
"Little Girl, has your friend been found?" The construction worker in front turned his Head and asked.
"Uh-huh!" Haibara Ai responded with Acting Cute.
Another person said, "You guys will hinder the construction work here, you'd better get out quickly!"
Conan didn't have time to think too much, stood up, and ran anxiously towards Outside the Station.
"Hey, wait..." Haibara Ai quickly followed.
Conan ran all the way up the stairs, looking at the Street with people coming and going. The people from the Black Organization he was chasing were gone again. He lowered his Head and looked at the Watch on his Wrist, and found that it was already past nine in the morning. He realized that he had fallen asleep due to lack of oxygen.
Last night's thrilling encounter seemed like just a Dream, but at least there was a little Gain.
Raki Wine!
A Male with a hoarse voice.
He didn't see the other party's Appearance last night, but the other party's voice was too special, as if his vocal cords had been cut open. As long as he heard that voice again, he would definitely be able to recognize it!
Thinking about it, a Face appeared in Conan's mind.
That time at the Twin Towers, the Young Man with Blonde Hair and blue eyes standing beside Gin... Uh, impossible, right? That childish Face with some Freckles, having that kind of voice, would be too discordant.
But…
Conan lowered his Head in thought.
If that Young Man was Raki Wine, then, in Yuan Jiaming's Death Message, one Hand was Gin, and the strange shape circled by fingers with the other Hand, hinting at 'R', could it be representing 'Raki', not 'Rye (Pinyin name)'.
Haibara also seemed to insist that it was impossible for 'Rye (Pinyin name)' to commit the Crime with Gin last time...
But there are also things that don't make sense.
In Yuan Jiaming's Gesture, there was no information about 'a', 'k', 'i'. Was he over-interpreting it? Yuan Jiaming just wanted to express 'R', and it had nothing to do with 'e'?
Haibara Ai chased after him, and found that Conan was in a daze. She stepped forward and pretended to ask easily, "What were you doing hiding in that Place just now?"
"Ah..." Conan came back to his senses, hesitated for a moment, and still didn't ask Haibara Ai if she knew the Code Name Raki, so as not to make Haibara Ai know that he had taken risks again and start nagging. He smiled and said, "I was too sleepy last Night, so I just took a nap there..."
Haibara Ai crossed her arms, and glanced at Conan with Half-Moon Eyes, "Do you think I would believe this answer?"
"Don't ask," Conan said with a smile, turned around and left, desperately changing the Topic, "Let's go, let's hurry back Home to eat... I'm starving~"
"Wait a minute," Haibara Ai followed speechlessly, "Aren't you going to care about Doctor Agasa?"
"Doctor Agasa is fine," Conan said, "He's with the Police now."
On the Street, the Television was broadcasting the News that happened yesterday: "Now broadcasting the next News, at around five o'clock yesterday afternoon, a Male was found dead in a Hotel Room of the New Rice Flower Hotel. The Deceased was the famous CG Designer Itakura Taku, who died at the age of 45. According to Police Investigation..."
In the Crowd not far away, Akai Shuichi, who was just about to leave, passed by the two, and suddenly turned his Head in surprise, staring at Haibara Ai's Figure.
Last time he saw her from a distance, he thought this Little Girl looked very much like Sherry. This time he saw her facial features up close...
Haibara Ai felt a dangerous Gaze staring at her, stiffened, and immediately turned her Head to look over.
Akai Shuichi quickly retracted his Gaze, lowered his Head and blended into the Crowd.
Conan found that Haibara Ai hadn't followed, stopped in Doubt, turned around and asked, "What's wrong?"
"Nothing..." Haibara Ai steadied her mind and walked forward as if nothing had happened.
...
The next day, Afternoon.
Beihu Town 1-chome, 119.
Chi Feichei came out of the Laboratory, took off his White Coat, and threw it into the Washing Machine casually.
Hissashi lay in the Cooler Box, playing with his Mobile Phone, "Master, there was a Phone Call coming in more than ten minutes ago, and Emails have been non-stop since 1 p.m."
Chi Feichei added Laundry Detergent Powder and Disinfectant to the Washing Machine before walking to the Table, picking up his Mobile Phone to check Emails.
There was one from Gin, talking about the Situation after that Day.
No Explosion, no Abnormality, which meant that the thing in the Locker at that time was a Kid.
The Report didn't say that Mori Kogoro solved a Case, only that the Police Investigation showed that Itakura Taku died of homicide, and the Murderer had been arrested on the same Day. So Gin said that perhaps Itakura Taku commissioned someone before his Death, or perhaps someone accidentally got a Clue, and someone would follow up the Investigation, so there was no need to worry about it for the time being.
There were also Emails from Fulante, Emails from Yingqu Yan Nan...
Hissashi's Line of Sight moved from the Mini-Game in the Mobile Phone to Chi Feichei, and asked seriously, "Master, I have a Problem, which side are we on?"
Chi Feichei typed quickly on his Mobile Phone, replying to Emails one by one, "Umbrella."
Hissashi choked, and decided to change the Method of asking, "Then if Conan and Gin fight, which side do we help?"
Chi Feichei replied to Emails without raising his Head, "We watch the Play."
Hissashi: "..."
Okay, very strong.
But…
"Master, if Conan had been discovered the Day before yesterday, wouldn't he have been dead?"
"He won't die," Chi Feichei's fingers typing paused, and then continued to reply to the next Email, "Hissashi, what was Conan's Expression at that time?"
"Using Thermal Vision Observation, it's not very clear what his Expression was, but his Hands and Feet were cold, and the Body Temperature of his Heart, Abdomen, and Head was higher than usual, he should be very Fearful..." Hissashi found that a hint of Morbid Taste smile flashed across his Master's mouth again, and suddenly understood.
Master thinks it's Fun to scare Conan half to Death? What an evil taste!
But it brainwashed Conan's Fear Face, and suddenly felt it was quite Fun~
After Chi Feichei replied to the Emails, he checked the Call Log and found that the previous missed call was from Chi Kana. He called back.
The Phone rang twice and was connected.
"Mother."
Chi Kana, who was far away in Britain, felt as if she was being invaded by Coldness. This indifferent greeting was not heartwarming at all. She eased the helplessness in her Heart, "Hassashi hasn't called me recently."
Chi Feichei was silent.
Thinking about it this way, if there was nothing Matter, he really wouldn't think about calling Chi Shinnosuke or Chi Kana.
Not only him, but the Original Consciousness in the later years would not think about contacting his Parents if there was no need.
Chi Kana also realized the Problem, and hesitated for a moment, "That..."
"I've been busy recently," Chi Feichei skipped over the Topic, "Is there anything you called for?"
"Girl's Day is coming soon," Chi Kana said in a soft voice, "There is a set of Dolls in the Family Warehouse, which my Mother gave me when I was a Child..."
"I know," Chi Feichei turned his Head and looked at the Wall Clock on the Wall, "I'll go back and find it later, and let her put it at Home tomorrow, or at my Place, or Doctor Agasa's House?"
"Ask her what she means, it doesn't Matter where you put it," Chi Kana's voice returned to her usual composure, "Hassashi, let me tell you, that set of Dolls..."
The origin of the Dolls, the way to display the Dolls, the preparations to be made for Girl's Day...
Chi Feichei sat on the Sofa, patiently listening to Chi Kana's unhurried and slow nagging, sat for a while, got up and cleaned up the Table, and Chi Kana was still talking.
"Don't drink White Alcohol, it's not good for Children to drink, go to the Street and buy some sweet wine, I'll call her later and tell her that she can invite Friends with good Relationships to play together, you help take care of her, Hard work, by the way, do you want to hang Carp Streamer on May 5th?"
Chi Feichei reminded with a calm Face, "Mother, I'm already an adult."
What Boy's Day is an adult Male celebrating?
"That's right..." Chi Kana paused, "The Time for the Coming-of-Age Ceremony has also passed, you didn't participate this Year, did you? Have you received an Invitation Letter?"
Chi Feichei: "..."
From the end of December, suddenly jumping to February, and then jumping to March, how would he know when the Coming-of-Age Ceremony passed?
And he didn't want to go either.
"Don't want to go, the oath looks like a bunch of idiots." Chi Feichei commented unceremoniously.
"Is, is that so..." Chi Kana was speechless.
"If there's nothing else, I'll go to the Warehouse to find the Dolls, you tell Ai."
"Beep... Beep..."
After Chi Feichei finished speaking, he hung up the Phone in seconds.
If Chi Kana continued to talk, it would be impossible to finish before Night.
[Dog head saves life][Kowtow thanks][Kowtow thanks], bow, and add more updates at Night. By the way, ask for Monthly Pass on the last day of the end of the month, and add more updates for the New Year tomorrow... (*><)
