Chapter 797: Learn to Be Self-Reliant

After the three Police Officers left, closing the Door behind them, the Patient Room fell into a Moment of silence.

"Cough," Hattori Heiji planned in his Heart how to get Kazuha Toyama, Mouri Ran, and Suzuki Sonoko away, while talking to Chi Feichei, "Brother Chi, when did you solve that Cipher?"

"After I went back last Night," Chi Feichei picked a Suitable Time.

Conan Realized. After he went back last Night, he also Pondered the Case before going to Bed. Chi Feichei Probably lay there thinking, and then suddenly got Inspiration, "Brother Chi, about the Weapon, do you have any Clue? Was it a Crime committed by someone from the Outside? Or Rather..."

Chi Feichei Got Up and picked up the Mineral Water Bottle on the Bedside Table. He Unscrewed the Lid, poured the Water inside into the Wash Face basin that still had Hot Water, took out a Pen from his Pocket, threw it vertically into the Mineral Water Bottle, Tightened the Lid, and casually threw it into the Wash Face basin.

"Plop!"

The Bottle fell into the Water, making a light Sound Due To the Weight of the Pen.

Suzuki Sonoko was Be Stunned. She Turned Head to Look at the Bottle floating in the Water in the basin, "That Sound Just Now, it Seemingly sounds A Bit Similar to the Sound I heard last Night..."

Hattori Heiji and Conan Looked at the Bottle in the basin, then simultaneously Looked Towards Chi Feichei, Expressionless.

Correct, last Night, the Culprit could have put the Short Sword into an empty Plastic Bottle after committing the Crime. If a Mineral Water Bottle wasn't big enough, they could prepare a large Drink Bottle and Throw it Out from the Window.

The River Channel Outside the Teahouse had much more Water than the basin, and it was flowing Water, which could completely carry the Plastic Bottle and take the Weapon away from under the Eyes of the three Girls, Mouri Ran, on the terrace.

As Long As the Culprit went Downstream to pick up the Bottle after leaving, they could recover the Short Sword.

But...

(Skeptical look)

If they hadn't asked, Whether Chi Feichei wouldn't have Said anything?

Looking at Chi Feichei Before, he didn't seem to have any Intention of Saying anything!

"Wh-What's Wrong?" Kazuha Toyama Looked at the Bottle. She also had a Rough Conjecture in her Heart, But she didn't Understand Why Hattori Heiji and Conan were Staring at Chi Feichei without Speaking Out.

Was it Wrong? There's No Need to be like this, right?

Chi Feichei Looked Back at Conan and Hattori Heiji Calmly.

He remembered the Method, and he even remembered that the Culprit was Saijo Taiga, But Why did he have to tell these two Fellows?

As High School Detective of Kanto and Kansai, they should Learn to Be Self-Reliant.

Being Stared at by Chi Feichei, Hattori Heiji immediately Missed his Line of Sight, "Cough, Say So, those four People All are Possible to commit the Crime..."

The Next Moment, Hattori Heiji jumped off the Bed, and ran Outside the Door with Conan.

"Kazuha, I'm going to Mio House to Understand the Situation, I'll be back soon, wait for me at the Hospital!"

"Hey! Heiji..." Kazuha Toyama Unexpectedly didn't Think Hattori Heiji would just run off. Just as she Realized, the Figure Outside the Door was Nothing Else. She was Annoyed and Helpless, "Really, his Injury isn't healed yet!"

Chi Feichei Got Up, picked up the Coat Hattori Heiji had left Bedside, "I'll take the Coat to him, you guys pay attention to Safety, Don't run around."

"Uh, Thank You," Kazuha Toyama Said with Some Sorry, "Troublesome you, Brother Chi..."

Haibara Ai silently Followed Chi Feichei, slipping away. There was No Excitement to See staying in the Patient Room anyway.

Until Chi Feichei Went Out, Kazuha Toyama Realized. She Turned Head to Look at Suzuki Sonoko and Mouri Ran.

The two People the Police had told not to leave the Hospital seemed to have both left?

...

Outside the Hospital.

Haibara Ai watched Chi Feichei Call Conan, then continued to Look at Chi Feichei, without Speaking Out.

"They went to Mio House," Chi Feichei put away his Mobile Phone.

"Then let's Go Over quickly too," Haibara Ai then withdrew her Line of Sight from Looking at Chi Feichei, "You can't be part of Genji Firefly."

"Indeed not," Chi Feichei held Hattori Heiji's Coat and walked towards the Street Corner with Haibara Ai, "But I can hear Some Rumors."

Haibara Ai heard that Chi Feichei didn't Intend to elaborate, so she didn't Ask further. She Originally wanted to Ask Chi Feichei Whether he knew about a certain Organization, But Considering the Organization's Style of leaving No Trace, she wasn't too sure if Chi Feichei would have News, and she also didn't want Chi Feichei to pay attention to those People. That Group of Crazy Cat in the Organization were Troublesome, "You Already told the Police about those Clue long ago, and told them you couldn't Come to Kyoto. It seems you Really just Intended to Come to Kyoto to play this Time, and didn't Intend to Seize anyone Initially, right?"

"There are too many Eyes focused on this Case, and it involves a lot of Police Force," Chi Feichei Said, "The Risk is too great."

The Key was that there were also Conan and Hattori Heiji, these two People, Staring.

Haibara Ai also Thought that those two High School Detective were the biggest Disaster, so it was Might As Well to give up. She Looked Towards the clear Street in the Sunshine in the Front, "Sometimes, even though you are helping the Police, you still have to be Guarding Against the Allies who should be on the Same side. Do you Think it's very Hard?"

Actually, she wanted to Ask 'Do you Think it's Grievance'. The Police had never considered July as one of their Own People. No Matter how much July helped, how many Criminal he Seized, the Police were still desperately Investigating his whereabouts and thinking of Unearth him and Seize him.

"No," Chi Feichei Said Expressionless, "I Get Money for doing things, and they also Understand that Bounty Hunter only recognize Money, not People. But, Seize me might not be just for recruitment."

"Recruitment..." Haibara Ai choked A Bit, "Say So is Also Correct."

The Two People arrived at Mio House and met up with Conan and Hattori Heiji.

Hattori Heiji Received the Coat and put it on, Said Thank You, and even secretly Observed A Bit by poking his Head in, Confirming that Kazuha Toyama hadn't Followed, before Stepping Forward to knock on the Door.

According to Hattori Heiji's Statement, Kazuha Toyama and the Others following would only be Troublesome, But Chi Feichei Thought the Black Skin had another Hidden Agenda:

Following them was Dangerous, Easy to be attacked by the Culprit; staying at the Hospital, there were A Group of People, they could stick together, and there were also Police Officers at the Main Entrance, Safety.

After knocking on the Door, Hattori Heiji also Turned Head and Said to Chi Feichei, "Brother Chi, Whether or Not let your Younger Sister go back first?"

Haibara Ai gave Hattori Heiji a Cold Gaze. Although she also knew Hattori Heiji's Intention, she Just wanted to Come. What was that Little Danger? "Can't I Come to Investigate the Case?"

Hattori Heiji was Be Stunned for A Bit, then Looked at Haibara Ai Smilingly. This was learning Brother Chi's Gaze Kill, Pity...

"It's still A Bit off!"

Haibara Ai withdrew her Line of Sight and didn't Pay Attention To Hattori Heiji anymore.

Seeing Mizuo Harutaro Come to open the Door, Hattori Heiji also didn't mention letting Haibara Ai go back again.

When the Four People went in, Ryūen and Saijo Taiga were also at Mio House, staying in the Living Room drinking Tea, Saying they were discussing the Case from last Night, wanting to Check if there were any Clue they could provide to the Police.

Last Night, Hattori Heiji was attacked, so it was necessary to Confirm the Alibi of the Three People during that Time period.

Investigating the Alibi for that Time was also the Fastest and most Convenient Method of elimination.

However, none of the Three People had an Alibi. After All, it was already late Night at that Time. After returning from the Teahouse, the Three People were all alone in their Room Resting.

"I have another Problem," Hattori Heiji Asked Again, "May I Ask if any of the Three of you have practiced Archery?"

"Archery?" Saijo Taiga Said very decisively, "No."

Mizuo Harutaro Said, "I have pulled an Azusa Wood Bow in a Noh Play Performance called 'Maple Leaf Viewing'."

"I will pull the Bowstring to dispel Evil Spirit when performing rituals," Ryūen Said, "But I haven't Really practiced Bow and Arrow as a Time."

"Then do you know if anyone else who was at the Teahouse at that Time knows Archery?" Conan pressed on.

Saijo Taiga stroked his chin, recalling, "Say So, Yamakura Seemingly..."

"You Say Lady Yamakura practices Bow and Arrow? But she wasn't present that Day, right?" Hattori Heiji finished with Doubt, then Turned Head to explain to Chi Feichei, "It's the Landlady of Chizuru Miss's Shop."

Chi Feichei raised his Eyes. Through the Crack in the Wooden Railing of the Main Gate, he Saw a Figure wearing a yellow Kimono standing Outside.

"No..."

Just as Saijo Taiga Spoke Out, the Wooden Door Outside the Door was pulled open.

"Excuse me." Chizuru wore a simple and elegant yellow Kimono, without Geisha Makeup, revealing a clean and beautiful Face. Her Long Hair was tied up, with a Pink Hair flower tucked in. After opening the Door, she walked slowly Inside the Room.

"She's finally here," Ryūen Got Up to welcome her.

"Huh?" Conan Looked at Chizuru with Some Surprise, "Young lady, are you Chizuru Miss?"

"I am," Chizuru responded with a Smile.

"This outfit makes you look completely different from an Apprentice Geisha, Unexpectedly, right?" Ryūen Said Smilingly, "Please Come In and sit."

"Thank You," Chizuru placed her Shoes on the Steps Outside the Door and sat down after entering the Door.

Haibara Ai Looked at Chizuru's yellow Kimono, then Turned Head to Look at Chi Feichei.

On the Appearance, nothing could be Seen, But Brother Chi indeed didn't Look at Chizuru anymore. It seems Brother Chi Really dislikes yellow enough.

Saijo Taiga Got Up and gestured a welcoming Intention, then sat back down.

"Thank you everyone for last Night," Chizuru bowed deeply, performing a Dogeza.

"Not at all, you are too Polite."

Mizuo Harutaro Said, and Ryūen and Saijo Taiga also Returned a deep Bow.

Conan was Be Stunned for A Bit, then followed suit and bowed with the Stunned Hattori Heiji.

Haibara Ai Turned Head to Look at Chi Feichei blankly. Seeing Chi Feichei slightly shake his Head, she also didn't Bow, Same as Chi Feichei.

A Group of People didn't gather for long. After Chizuru Said that she also didn't have an Alibi last Night, they left one after another.

When leaving, Chizuru walked together with Chi Feichei and the Three People.

"Ai didn't wear a Kimono today?" Chizuru Asked Smilingly.

Haibara Ai Unexpectedly didn't Think Chizuru would Speak Out to her first, and was Some surprised in her Heart, "It's not Convenient for Activity, so I didn't wear it."

"That outfit is very beautiful, and Miss Ai is also very cute. The Moment I Saw you at the Teahouse, I Thought you were more like an Artwork," Chizuru smiled and lowered her Eyes, "Ah, I didn't mean anything else, I Just felt Some Sigh. Some People Think Geisha is a very respectable Profession, treated as Artwork. Although they have to entertain Others, Some People will also respect them. Just Like today, after bowing, Some People also Returned Gift. Everyone is Just having a pleasant Time together."

Speaking of bowing, Haibara Ai couldn't help But Look Towards Chi Feichei Again.

So, the fact that they didn't move Just Now was Indeed noticed by Households, right?
