Chapter 844 Is it considered cold humor? [Adding more for Patron Kindergarten School Bus's Speeding Diary]
Haibara Ai was in a good mood, casually pulled Hassashi over, and started a bet.
She really liked following Chi Feichei to hunt Bounty.
Although she didn't contribute to the arrest, the information she provided about the 'Woman wearing Purple Socks' was useful, she helped package Live Delivery, and she was also always paying attention to the surrounding Crisis and whether they had made Mistakes leaving Fingerprint.
After tensing Nerves and Heartbeat accelerating, the Meaning of the Gain was not just Money.
Each sum of Money was proof of her Help, allowing her to discover that she wasn't useless except for making Medicine. At the same time, having faced Criminals one after another, and even Criminal Group, it probably also gave her a lot more Courage to face the Organization.
This time, after encountering the Man suspected to be 'Jackal' while wandering in the Carriage, she didn't panic and feel uneasy like when encountering those people from the Organization, nor did she feel heavy-hearted like a Detective or Police Officer encountering a Criminal. Instead, she felt like Children who had finally found Treasure, her Heart instantly filled with joy and Expectation.
No Matter whether they could catch him in the End, she had discovered Jackal!
Afterwards, she suppressed the Expectation in her Heart and considered how to collect more Intelligence without leaving a Trace, even if it was just the few seconds when she passed by when Jackal entered the Room. The more detailed the Intelligence, the less Troublesome Brother Hichiji would face. Moreover, she would subconsciously consider how not to attract the Goal's attention and how not to leave Trace of herself.
On the way, she casually picked up a Key, used that Key that wouldn't reveal her Identity based on Scratch Mark to leave a Symbol, then cleaned up the Fingerprint left on the Key afterwards, threw it under a Carriage Seat, and afterwards recalled whether she had made any Mistakes... She was now used to this Behavior Method, and after coming back and Confirming that she was careful enough, she felt very good.
This was proof of her strength.
She suddenly understood why those Fellows in the Organization were so enthusiastic about hunting...
Thinking, Haibara Ai's Hand playing with Hassashi paused, her Face stiffened, and she suddenly Turn Head to Look Towards Chi Feichei beside her.
Chi Feichei Sense Haibara Ai's Line of Sight stopping on his Face, temporarily stopped browsing the Forum, raised his Eyes to Look over, "What's Wrong?"
"Nothing, just wanted to Ask you..."
Haibara Ai paused, Dou Dou Eyes.
Except for being overly sensitive when she just escaped from the Organization and being startled when she saw Chi Feichei wearing Black Clothes, she had never felt the Aura of those people from the Organization on Chi Feichei. Moreover, if Chi Feichei was a person from the Organization, there were too many things that didn't make sense.
After pausing for a moment, Haibara Ai continued, "...Has that Woman's Identity been Confirmed? How much Money can we get?"
Chi Feichei found a comparison object, "Not as Valuable as Scorpio..."
Haibara Ai Nodded, feeling amused in her Heart.
She actually suspected Brother Hichiji, what was she thinking?
"Probably about 500 million Japanese Yen." Chi Feichei added.
"5, 500 million?!" Haibara Ai was stunned.
500 million... Wasn't that about the same amount of Funds that a small Bank summarized in a period of Time?
"Such international Criminals commit crimes in multiple countries, and there are people from many countries who offer Bounty." Chi Feichei knew what Haibara Ai was surprised about and explained, "This Money is not paid by the Japanese Police, but also by the security departments of other countries. Even the Official payment is only the smallest Portion. More than 90% of the Money is paid by the Rich Family members she Offended, those who are gloating and interested in her arrest, and those who want her to be caught for other Purposes. This Money will accumulate in the Bounty Pool of the Bounty Hall. Calculated in Japanese Yen, it is 500 million. However, this 500 million is the result of currency conversion and summing up the Money from fragmented contributors in multiple countries. The Bounty Pool is generally settled in US Dollar. After deducting the Handling Fee that the Bounty Hall charges, it should be more than four million US Dollar. In addition to this, there are also some independent Bounties, such as requesting to catch Kid and have a meal together, or capturing someone alive and handing them over to the other party. However, if they are sent to the Police Station, these kinds of Bounties cannot be obtained."
Every Time he calculated Bounty, it was just that the Process of converting exchange rates and adding Money gave him a sense of accomplishment.
"How do you Confirm that no one will fraudulently claim the Bounty?" Haibara Ai asked curiously.
"I will issue a Bounty claim application on the Bounty Hall. After the Japanese Police confirms that Rose has been arrested by me, and the Bounty Hall Confirms the authenticity, the Money after deducting the Operating Costs will be transferred to my Account." Chi Feichei Said, "The Bounty Hall deducts Handling Fee, which is used not only for helping to launder Money, but also for hiring people to Confirm the authenticity of Information. It has existed until now and will not make such Mistakes. Moreover, Bounty Hunters are very protective of the Platform's Rules and their own Benefit. If someone fraudulently claims Bounty, as long as the Platform leaks Rumors, many Hunters will go to find and Assassination them. Those who cannot go will also throw some Money into the Bounty Pool to encourage the Bounty Hunters who take Action to find out the person who breaks the Rules."
Haibara Ai Nodded, "I see, so it's equivalent to Offend the entire Bounty Group."
Maintaining the Rules was also to maintain their own Benefit. So, as long as it was someone who had obtained what they needed from the Bounty Hall, such as Criminal Group, Mercenary, people like Chi Feichei who become Bounty Hunters when they have nothing to do, Killers, Hackers, and Professional Hunters, they would probably all join this chase. Those with Money contribute Money, those with strength contribute strength, and those with Clues provide Clues. People hidden in every Corner of the World would be staring with red Eyes.
That was much more terrifying than being chased by the Organization.
"So, these kinds of people are generally captured alive." Chi Feichei continued, "Then they will be Live Broadcast Public Execution by the Bounty Hall, relying on the Tip Money from the Rage of Bounty Hunters, the Bounty Hall can also earn some more Money."
"Bounty Hall..." Haibara Ai hesitated for a moment, "Is it an Organization behind it?"
"No, the Bounty Hall is just a Platform. Those responsible for Supervision are generally Elders among Hunters or leaders of major Factions. They have a fixed Bonus as Reward every month. The Fee for Platform upgrades is also funded from the Platform's Income." Chi Feichei explained patiently, "If someone wants to control the entire Bounty Hall, once it is exposed, it will cause backlash from most Bounty Hunters. Everyone can even find a new Platform. In fact, besides the Bounty Hall, there are many Bounty Platforms, but it is the largest and most fair, which is why it attracts so many people to gather and form today's scale."
"Has the Bounty Hall ever had Public Execution?" Haibara Ai asked curiously.
Chi Feichei withdrew his Line of Sight to look at his Mobile Phone, "Children can't watch."
"Got it, I don't want to watch either." Haibara Ai didn't insist. She knew just by thinking about it that kind of Execution was definitely not acceptable for Normal Person. She didn't intend to watch it in the first place. After a Moment of Silence, she Staring at Chi Feichei's Face, "Brother Hichiji, since you became a Bounty Hunter, have you encountered any Weird people? For Example, people who like to wear Black Clothes and are very fierce..."
A person who was capable, acted cautiously, and left no Trace should be very much to the liking of that Organization. Maybe Brother Hichiji was already being targeted now.
Chi Feichei flipped through the Bounty Hall Forum, looking at the Recent News, and asked with a straight Face, "Are you talking about me?"
Haibara Ai: "..."
(#-.-)
She was still waiting for an Answer of 'yes' or 'no', but Chi Feichei actually Said that...
Was it considered cold humor?
"I mean, a Group of..." Haibara Ai's mouth twitched slightly, the Nerves that were originally tense could no longer be tensed, and she Said Speechlessly, "What about people other than you? Are there any who like to wear Black Clothes?"
Chi Feichei intentionally thought for a moment, "Among people active in the Illegal Zone, there are quite a few who wear Black Clothes."
For Example, Gin, Vodka, Kir, Belmode, Bourbon, Ireland...
Adding Outer Member, the number was really quite large.
His Little Sister didn't reveal her own bottom line, only wanted to probe his bottom line, and was still Staring at his Face, wanting to identify whether he was Lie or flustered. What was she thinking? Did she really think that he wouldn't Sense that Line of Sight full of Observation and Test just because he lowered his Head to look at his Mobile Phone?
That's why he Said, his Little Sister was just a Goldfish. If even this bit of Test could be tested out, should he still bother to hang around?
"I-Is that so?" Haibara Ai couldn't Ask anymore, pretending to be Calm and Said, "Recently, you should still not go Bounty hunting. This time the Bounty Gain is good, avoid the Limelight for a while. Also, Edogawa Sense Kid's Action today and almost Run Away to the Salon Car side. If July and you always appear in the same Place, he might become Suspicious."
Chi Feichei Nodded, "Then I'll Rest for a while recently."
Haibara Ai breathed a sigh of relief in her Heart.
Although if the Organization were to target 'July', they would definitely have targeted him long ago, as long as Brother Hichiji reduces the Frequency of Activity, it could reduce the Probability of being found by those Fellows.
If it really didn't work, she would Follow Brother Hichiji when he hunted Bounty. It was interesting, there was Money to be made, and she could also Help Brother Hichiji pay attention to those Fellows.
Of course, it was Possible that she was overthinking. Phantom Thief Kid was also quite active, wasn't he also jumping around everywhere?
Actually, Haibara Ai was underthinking. She didn't Understand the Difference between Phantom Thief and Bounty Hunter for Criminal Organization. The former was a performer who performs shows. It's not bad to watch a Play when nothing was happening. The latter was a Criminal with absorption Value. Moreover, Phantom Thief Kid didn't Murder. Except for being interested in intercepting and Killing Phantom Thief, there were really not many Criminal Organizations that intended to pull Phantom Thief Kid into their Group.
Before the Train stopped at the Station, Aoko Nakamori found Kuroba Kaito in the Carriages behind.
"Kaito, what are you doing here?"
"Aoko? I'm looking for Phantom Thief Kid."
"What? Brother Hichiji Said Phantom Thief Kid has already Run Away, but the Jewel has been found by him. Your Mobile Phone is not reachable, so I can only follow the Carriages to find you."
"Sorry, sorry, I was too focused on looking for Kid and didn't notice at all."
"You didn't get lost on the Train, did you?"
"P-Probably..."
Kuroba Kaito Scratch Head and laughed dryly, silently stabbing a Little Person Figure in the shape of Chi Feichei in his Heart.
(*｀へ*)
What kind of crappy Excuse did that bastard old Brother find? Making him look like a Fool.
When the Train arrived at the Station, the Plainclothes Police Officer from the Osaka Police Department, after receiving Notice from the National Police Agency, also rushed to the Vicinity of the Platform and quietly took that Live Delivery onto the Police Car without alarming anyone.
The Queen's Travel in Osaka lasted for two Days. Under Chi Feichei's introduction, Mori Kogoro became the second middle-aged Man to get drunk in front of the Queen.
Sally Bess maintained her Elegant composure throughout, occasionally looking at Chi Feichei's Purple Eyes, her Eyes filled with Gratitude.
Chi Feichei really couldn't withstand Sally Bess's Gaze. On the third Day, when the Queen was preparing to go to Kyoto, at the Platform, he proposed that he wanted to return to Tokyo with Mori Kogoro and his Group.
"You intend to leave?" Sally Bess was a little surprised, but she didn't force him, "I almost forgot, Kana told me that the Doctor told you to Rest more. Is your Body not very good?"
Chi Feichei was silent for a moment, "Before the end of the Travel, it's better for Majesty not to know, it will Impact Mood."
It's not that his Body was not good, it's that other people thought his Mental State was not good and worried that his Depression would relapse if he didn't Rest well.
