Chapter 775: Is He That Honest?

"Cough..." Mori Kogoro straightened up and coughed dryly, adjusting his expression. He was pondering what to say to ease the awkwardness when he suddenly saw the Rabbit turn around and dart into the Shrubbery. Anxious, he quickly chased after it, shouting, "Stop!"

"Father!" Mouri Ran quickly Got Up.

Haibara Ai glanced at Conan, who had already opened his Watch and was Aiming at the Shrubbery beside them. "Edogawa, what are you trying to do?"

Seeing Mouri Ran also Turn Head and Looked over, Conan closed the Watch Cover, Smilingly Acting Cute. "Um... I Just wanted to Check Whether my Watch was broken..."

(╥ω╥`)

Anyway, there's No Need to use Anesthesia on Uncle for Case Solving anymore. The Anesthetic Needle is just left over anyway, wouldn't it be nice to shoot a Rabbit?

But he didn't dare to say these words.

After A Bit, Kondo Eiichiro woke up, covering his Head and sat up. "Uh..."

Mouri Ran Turn Head and advised, "Mr. Kondo, you should wait for the Police to Come Over and actively Surrender to the Police!"

"You can't escape!" Mori Kogoro darted back and forth In the Forest, chasing the Rabbit.

Conan Looked at Kondo Eiichiro with a Glance, then Turn Head to Look Towards Mori Kogoro.

The Criminal Definitely couldn't escape. He was more concerned now Whether Uncle could catch that Rabbit.

His Spicy Rabbit Head, Dry-Fried Rabbit Meat, Braised Wild Rabbit, Rabbit and Radish Stew, Cold Rabbit, Steamed Rabbit Meat with Rice Flour, Honey Herb Roasted Rabbit, Hand-Torn Sauce Rabbit Leg, Yam and Rabbit Soup...

Relying on Uncle was completely unrealistic. Chi Feichei, this Fellow, also hadn't made any Action.

Just as Conan cast a Gaze of Help towards Chi Feichei, the Police also discovered that there was no one in the Office Down the Mountain and had also found their way In the Forest.

Seeing the Police Come Over, Kondo Eiichiro was still a Bit unwilling. He Got Up from the grass and said, "Hey, hey, you're treating me like this based on just one Sentence from me? That doesn't Seemingly right, does it?"

"But..." Mouri Ran saw Kondo Eiichiro's Appearance of refusing to admit anything. Subconsciously, she Looked Towards Mori Kogoro In the Forest, finding that Mori Kogoro was still focused on chasing the Rabbit. She then Looked Towards Chi Feichei, finding that Chi Feichei didn't even Give the Police and Kondo Eiichiro a direct Look. He stood Aside, watching Mori Kogoro catch the Rabbit, clearly indicating he wouldn't say any Reasoning in front of the Police.

Conan Go To Aside, Open the Watch Lid, Aiming at Mori Kogoro who was running around In the Forest. Seeing the Timing, he Subdued him with one Anesthetic Needle, sighing in his Heart.

With This Is, that cute Rabbit had completely gotten away from him...

Under the Reasoning of 'Sleeping Kogoro', and witnessed by two Police Officers, Kondo Eiichiro could no longer argue and knelt on the Ground.

"Damn it...!" Kondo Eiichiro, Staring at the Ground with an ugly Face, said, "You Don't Know how many prohibited Alpine Plants and Animals that Fellow Hirai took and sold at a High Price to the Unscrupulous Dealers at the Foot of the Mountain. Not long Before, in order to obtain Evidence, I and the Female Employee who died from falling off the Cliff a month ago started investigating and Surveillance his Actions. One Night, we personally Saw the Fact of his Crime. But, when I was arguing with him, I accidentally bumped into that Female Employee, causing her to fall off the Cliff and resulting in her Death..."

Chi Feichei glanced sideways: "..."

No, according to the usual Plot, shouldn't the Development here be 'Hirai killed that Female Employee to escape guilt, and I'm taking revenge for her'? 'I accidentally caused her to fall off the Cliff'? What the heck?

"Hirai kept blackmailing me Afterwards," Kondo Eiichiro knelt on the Ground. "That's why I decided to finish what I started... But, perhaps This Is the best Outcome. Only This Is can atone for the Sin of accidentally causing her Death..."

Haibara Ai Looked at Kondo Eiichiro, who was prostrate on the Ground. A trace of confusion flashed in her Eyes. She Looked Towards Chi Feichei beside her.

This bizarre and strange thought process almost made her unable to figure it out. She Didn't Know if Brother Hichiji had figured it out...

Chi Feichei was Silent for A Bit. "In short, he committed Murder Because he couldn't stand the blackmail."

So Many other Things he said were meaningless!

...

The Police took away Kondo Eiichiro.

Chi Feichei carried the still unconscious Mori Kogoro onto the Bus, making Preparation to head back Home with the others.

Originally, Little Tengu Mountain had three Administrators. One died a month ago, one died today, and one was arrested. They were completely wiped out.

There was no one else in the entire Scenic Area except the five of them. Without Administrators, continuing to play around Seemingly felt A Bit off. Moreover, this Scenic Area would Probably be closed for a period of Time, until the development company hired new Administrators.

In the Setting Sun, the Bus drove along the Mountain Path towards the City Area. Apart from the Driver, there were only five people on the Car, the Same as Before, deserted and quiet.

Mori Kogoro, who was snoring asleep in the last row, Suddenly woke up. He Turn Head and Looked Outside the window in a daze, his Eyes lit up. He pulled the Binoculars hanging around Conan's Neck and Looked Outside the window.

Conan, whose Neck was being strangled by the Binoculars Strap: "..."

This Is Murder, Uncle!

"Father, what did you See?" Mouri Ran asked in surprise. "Why..."

Chi Feichei and Haibara Ai, sitting in the second to last row, Turn Head to Look.

Mori Kogoro focused on Staring Outside the window with the Binoculars, a perverted smile gradually appearing on his Face.

Chi Feichei picked up the Binoculars he Found from his Backpack and Followed suit, Looked over.

A expanse of white backs...

Three young Girls bathing in the Open-Air Hot Spring without Clothes...

"Hahahahaha..." Mori Kogoro in the back row let out a string of strange laughter.

Once Seeing This Situation, Mouri Ran Suddenly Guessed the Reason. Her Face darkened slightly. She Step Forward and snatched the Binoculars from Mori Kogoro's Hand, Aiming them at the Car Window to Look out.

Conan, whose Neck was being strangled by the Binoculars Strap: "..."

Can you please take the Binoculars strap off his Neck first? He's going to be hanged...

As Mouri Ran Looked through the Binoculars, her Face slowly turned red. She gritted her Teeth, and her Fingers gradually tightened their grip. With a 'crack', a Crack appeared on the Binoculars.

In the row in front, Haibara Ai was A Bit Curious. She pulled Chi Feichei's Hem. "I want to Look too."

"No!" Mouri Ran's Reaction was very intense.

"Children can't Look." Chi Feichei put down the Binoculars with a Calm Face, having no Intention of Handing them Over To Haibara Ai.

"Uh-huh, Uh-huh!" Mouri Ran Nodded with a Serious Face, then Aimed a Danger Gaze at Mori Kogoro.

"Well..." Mori Kogoro felt flustered in his Heart. He Smilingly dryly waved his Hand. "I Just... uh..."

"What exactly were you Looking at Just Now, Father!" Mouri Ran Roared, her Face red.

Mori Kogoro, with a guilty conscience, said, "I Just happened to..."

"You were Looking at other people with Binoculars, and you call that by chance?" Mouri Ran angrily waved the Binoculars.

Mori Kogoro shrank back A Bit, lest he be Hammered by Mouri Ran. "I really did Just happen to See it!"

"You've even led Brother Hichiji astray, you perverted Old Man!" Mouri Ran continued angrily. "Even If it's Brother Hichiji, what will happen If Conan thinks it's interesting and Follows suit to sneak a Look?!"

"You Stubborn Daughter!"

"Is that so? If Mother finds out, I Don't Know what she'll Say Again!"

Listening to the noise from the back row, Haibara Ai propped her Face with her Right Hand on the Seat Handrail. She Looked Towards Chi Feichei, who had resumed his proper sitting Appearance, with a blank expression. "What exactly did you See Just Now? Young and pretty Girls?"

Conan, sitting beside Mori Kogoro, gave him Half-Moon Eyes and thought "heh heh" in his Heart.

Most likely not anything related to Health...

Chi Feichei, with a Calm Face, said, "Three young and pretty Girls without Clothes bathing in the Open-Air Hot Spring."

Haibara Ai froze for A Bit, then awkwardly Turn Head and averted her Line of Sight.

(///ˊˋ///)

Is Brother Hichiji that honest...

Conan: "..."

Uncle and Chi Feichei are really... Too Excessive!

Mouri Ran was Stunned by Chi Feichei's Calm Attitude. She choked for A Bit, then Turn Head to Stare at Mori Kogoro. "It's all your fault, Father! As a Teacher, you're not setting a good role model. Leading Brother Hichiji to drink is one Thing, but you even took him to sneak a Look!"

Looking at Brother Hichiji's Appearance, he didn't have any evil thoughts at all. So, it's still that perverted Old Man's Responsibility!

"Hey, hey, Tell me clearly," Mori Kogoro retorted, not convinced. "What's wrong with me as a Teacher?"

...

The argument continued all the way. The Outcome was that by the Time they ate Dinner, the Father and Daughter would occasionally look at each other, but then turn their Heads away with a cold snort.

Conan ate Rice with his Head down. No Spicy Rabbit Head, but Stir-Fried 'Fly Heads' is also Good.

Haibara Ai and Chi Feichei also ignored the Father and Daughter's Conflict and ate Rice unhurriedly.

"Ding-a-ling..."

The Landline Phone rang.

"Okay, Okay," Mori Kogoro seized the opportunity to propose a reconciliation. "Stop Sulking, and quickly Go and answer the Phone Call!"

Mouri Ran put down her Dishes, glared at Mori Kogoro with a Glance, and Got Up to answer the Phone Call.

If Not for Thinking that Brother Hichiji, Conan, and Ai would be awkward if this continued, she wouldn't Compromise with that Slothful Old Man!

"Hello, this is the Mori Detective Agency. How can I Help you?" Mouri Ran answered the Phone Call. After listening for A Bit, she Turn Head and Said to Mori Kogoro, "Father, it's for you!"

"Who would be looking for me at This Time..." Mori Kogoro muttered as he Got Up to answer the Phone Call. "Hello, this is Mori Kogoro... Oh! It's Kuroki. Is Master Seizan's Body doing well Recently?... Uh, is that so? Okay, I See. I'm free Recently, so let's make it Tomorrow. We'll take the Train at 1 PM Tomorrow... Ah, I might bring Others Go Together... Not at all, we're the ones causing you Troublesome! ... Okay, then I'll See you at the Station Tomorrow!"

Mouri Ran waited until Mori Kogoro hung up the Phone Call before asking, "Father, What happened?"

"It's about Master Seizan, the Painter famous for his Sketch," Mori Kogoro Go To the Dining Table and sat down, explaining with a solemn Expression. "The Phone Call Just Now was from his Disciple Mr. Kuroki Jiro. When I was a Police Officer, I once Handled a Burglary case and got to know Master Seizan and Kuroki. Master Seizan is a very strong-willed person who cares about Face, but he's very Polite and Enthusiastic towards me. We've been friends through drinking for So Many years. Kuroki Just Now said that Master Seizan has fallen into a slump, and This Time it Seemingly very Serious. He Already hasn't had any new Work for a long Time, and there are Seemingly Signs of suicidal thoughts. He wants to Request me to Go and Check on him under the Reason of passing by for Tourism and visiting By the Way. If possible, he wants me to try and guide Master Seizan."

"That Master Seemingly Already 70 years old, right?" Conan asked.

Mori Kogoro Nodded, his Expression still not showing Relaxation. "Yes."

Seeing Mori Kogoro so solemn, Haibara Ai was A Bit unaccustomed to it. She tried to Help with the Analysis. "Perhaps he hasn't had much Inspiration Recently, which led to a bad Mood. And a bad Mood makes it even harder to get Inspiration, falling into a Malignant Cycle."

"That's a Possibility. Anyway, I promised to Go to Kanagawa Prefecture Tomorrow to Check. You'll Know when you Check then," Mori Kogoro's Serious Face collapsed in a second. Looking at Chi Feichei, Haibara Ai, and Conan across the Dining Table, he laughed heartily, "Alright, if you want to See my Work as a Famous Detective, you can sign up Now!"

Conan gave him Half-Moon Eyes, heh heh. That Uncle is Indeed the Same as Before.

Haibara Ai Turn Head and asked Chi Feichei, "Brother Hichiji, do you have any Intention of Going to Check?"

Chi Feichei Nodded. "I haven't had much to do Recently."

"Okay, it's rare for you to be so leisurely Recently," Haibara Ai Said casually. "Then I'll also sign up for the Kanagawa Tour Group."

Mori Kogoro Speechless corrected, "Hey, hey, I'm Going to Work..."

"Then let's Go Together!"

Mouri Ran Smilingly Interrupted, "I heard Master Seizan is someone who likes a leisurely life. His Residence has a quiet Environment, it's a good Place for Relaxation. Maybe we Still Can admire Master Seizan's Paintings from Previously."
