Chapter 884 The Famous Detective is Mute... That's All
Shancun Cao recovered, and with a ‘whoosh’, he rushed in front of Mori Kogoro, who was touching his teeth, grabbed Mori Kogoro's free left hand, and said with a sincere and moved expression, “Mr. Mouri, you are so dedicated! To demonstrate the Murderer's Crime Method, you actually risked yourself… You don’t know, when I saw you fall just now, I was shocked and almost thought you were going to die just like that! Wuwuwu… Please pay more attention to your Safety in the future, and don't do this again!”
Mori Kogoro: “……”
He wasn't willing!
He didn't want to risk himself either!
However, since Shancun Cao thought so, he was too embarrassed to say that he had been tricked into going up there, that would be too shameful.
“Yeah, Uncle,” Suzuki Sonoko patted her Chest and said with sweat, “Your Expression just now really scared me, that kind of horror and despair before death was even more terrifying than what's shown in movies!”
Mouri Ran also breathed a sigh of relief, “Father, don’t scare people like that in the future.”
Mori Kogoro turned his Head and glared at Chi Feichei resentfully.
He wasn't acting to deliberately scare people just now, in terms of being frightened, he was the most frightened person present!
Chi Feichei silently said ‘thank you’ to Shancun Cao in his Heart. This unreliable Police Officer was sometimes very useful, otherwise Mori Kogoro would definitely have roared and sprayed saliva at him already.
“But In This Case, the Culprit…” Shancun Cao turned his Head to look at A Group of People standing at the Entrance.
Mori Kogoro straightened his Expression, deciding to settle accounts with Chi Feichei later, “The Culprit is you, Mr. Akashi Hiroto!”
Afterwards, it was Mori Kogoro's Deduction time. When Akashi Hiroto pointed out that the Electric Light had three levels of Brightness and raised questions, he was also refuted by Mori Kogoro.
In addition, the Police found Akashi Iwao's fallen Molar Tooth in the Curry Rice, and Akashi Hiroto confessed.
“Even if you didn't come, I was planning to end my Father's Life today, Because today is really my Wife's Anniversary of Death,” Akashi Hiroto sighed, “My Wife fell in this Forest and died in a flash flood…”
“Fell, fell in?” Shancun Cao was a little confused.
“That was a Rainy Day when I drove to Tokyo for Work. My Father suddenly called my Wife, who was resting in Bed due to a Cold, and said he wanted to eat Matsutake Mushroom Rice, asking my Wife to hurry to buy it,” Akashi Hiroto said softly, “My Wife could have refused, but she still dragged her weak Footstep to the Supermarket three kilometers away, and just like that, she fell on the way Home and encountered a flood.”
Mori Kogoro was silent for a moment, “But, just Because of this, you wanted to Murder him…”
“No, what really made me have Killing Intent was the second Day after my Wife's Funeral,” Akashi Hiroto said, “I inadvertently heard him talking to himself while sitting alone in the Buddha Hall, saying, ‘Wife, that one is finally broken, next time I still want a long-lived one, a Toy as sturdy as Hiroto’.”
“Wh-what…” Mouri Ran frowned, “That’s too Excessive!”
Shancun Cao didn't know what to say, “Th-Speaking of which, are you an adopted Son?”
“Yes, before hearing those Words from him, I always felt that his various willful Requests to me were Because he didn't treat me like an outsider and regarded me as his own Child, including his sudden proposal to build a House here and live here with my Wife and me, away from those vulgar people,” Akashi Hiroto raised his Eyes to look at the Lamp Cord hanging down, his Expression nostalgic and sad, “And lengthening the Lamp Cord was also his Idea. For this reason, my Wife specially bought a lot of Fishing books to Study how to tie a Fishing Line Knot to lengthen the Lamp Cords at Home, but the Lamp Cord in his Room was connected by himself, and it was full of messy Knots. If the Knot was tied by my Wife, I'm afraid I would probably be reluctant to cut off that Lamp Cord, and there wouldn't have been this Murder…”
The Police took Akashi Hiroto away, and Shancun Cao also offered to drive Chi Feichei and others down the Mountain.
“Shall We go down the Mountain first?” Mouri Ran looked back and saw that no one else objected, and smiled at Shancun Cao, “Thank You very much.”
“Ah, it's nothing, it's all thanks to Mr. Mouri's wonderful Reasoning and Princess's blessing that another Case was solved!” Shancun Cao said with a smile, and took out a Circle of Incense Stick and a Lighter from the inner Pocket of his Suit Coat, “Fortunately, I was prepared!”
Haibara Ai: “……”
This Rookie Police Officer wouldn't be…
Shancun Cao neatly lit the Incense, placed it on the Ground in front of Haibara Ai, clapped his Hands three times (clapping), and bowed seriously, “Princess, bless me to solve all the Cases I encounter smoothly in the future!”
Haibara Ai was Expressionless, it was the First Time in her Life that she wanted to hit someone so much.
Mori Kogoro couldn't stand it anymore, and said with Half-Moon Eyes, “I said, you've had enough, haven't you.”
“Of course, Mr. Mouri's Deduction is also very handsome!” Shancun Cao stood up straight, with a longing Expression, “Especially when he said ‘The Culprit is you’, it's really a Pity, I actually forgot to record it…”
“R-Really…” Mori Kogoro scratched his Head and smiled, suddenly remembering that he still had to settle accounts with Chi Feichei, he turned his Head, approached Chi Feichei, and complained in a low voice with resentment, “I said you…”
Chi Feichei glanced sideways, gazing at Mori Kogoro.
Come on, please Say it.
Mori Kogoro recalled the Glance Chi Feichei gave him earlier, his Face changed rapidly, serious Face, and he complained in a low voice, “I said, can you Discuss with me next time before you encounter this kind of thing? You scared me!”
Chi Feichei nodded, “Okay.”
What should be discussed can be discussed, what should be experienced still needs to be experienced.
He felt that only when Mori Kogoro personally felt the Victim's desperate Predicament of ‘Hand unable to move, Mouth unable to Speak’ could he more accurately grasp the Key points of the Murderer's Crime Method.
Mori Kogoro pondered for a while, and found that as long as Chi Feichei promised not to mess around in the future, he had nothing else to Say, he looked down at Conan, “Kid, rest in the hotel after going down the Mountain, you should be okay, right?”
Conan just wanted to Say ‘no Problem, he is very energetic’, but when he opened his Mouth, he found that his Throat was hoarse and he was Unable to Speak, “Ah…”
Mori Kogoro: “……”
This Situation of being Unable to Speak was very familiar.
Mouri Ran noticed Conan's abnormality, “Conan?”
Conan: “Ah… Ah…”
(＃－.－)
He, is mute…
“Oh, but this time it's actually not Sleeping Kogoro…” Shancun Cao was still sighing, and suddenly found A Group of People looking at Conan quietly, “Wh-What's Wrong?”
Chi Feichei took a deep Look at Conan before withdrawing his Line of Sight.
It's nothing, it's just that the Famous Detective's Cold from Wind-Heat is more serious, and he's mute… That's all.
……
The Next Day.
Tokyo, Araide Hospital Backyard Residence.
“Pfft…”
Belmode, with Niide Tomoaki's Disguise Mask on her Face, couldn't help but laugh, “You ate Beef Curry after catching a Cold?”
Mouri Ran looked helpless, “Doctor…”
“Okay, okay, since you took Medicine over in Gunma, you should get better in the evening,” a certain fake Niide said gently, and said to Conan, “Remember to drink more Hot Water and pay attention to Rest. Hissashi is right, before the Cold gets better, Beef and Spicy Food are absolutely not allowed to be eaten again.”
Conan nodded obediently, “Uh-huh~!”
Chi Feichei put the four Bowls he brought over on the Table, and opened the Lunch Box he brought.
He was not surprised by the Treatment Solution of ‘drink more Hot Water’.
In Japan, if a Cold is not serious, it's just more Rest and drink more Hot Water, if it's more serious, you Take Medicine, but if it's just a Cold and Fever, there will be no IV drips.
“Brother Hichiji, let me do it!” Mouri Ran took the Lunch Box, poured the Rock Sugar Stewed Pear inside into four small Bowls, put spoons on them, and handed a Bowl to Conan who was peeking over, “Conan, here, try it first!”
In the small Bowl, Snow Pear chunks cut into small pieces were soaked in sugar juice, with a few red Goji Berry dotted in the white.
Mouri Ran watched Conan eat two bites, “Conan, how is it? If you like it, I’ll learn how to make it from Brother Hichiji and make it for you to eat in the future.”
“It’s delicious,” Conan showed a big Smiling Face and acted cute, his Voice still a little hoarse, “It’s a refreshing sweet and sour Flavor.”
Mouri Ran chuckled, and looked at Chi Feichei, “Brother Hichiji…”
“Wash the Snow Pear clean, cut it into pieces and put it in a Bowl, add Rock Sugar and Goji Berry, and steam it in a pot for about 30 minutes. You can use a steamer or a rice cooker. The Ratio of Goji Berry, Rock Sugar, and Snow Pear I use is 2:10:20, which can be adjusted arbitrarily,” Chi Feichei said the method in one go, and then instructed, “Remember not to eat it with Crab.”
Mouri Ran noted it down and smiled, “Then it’s not difficult to make, I’ll try it another Day!”
“It’s not difficult originally,” Chi Feichei looked at Conan who was burying his Head in eating happily, and said in a calm Tone, “But are you really planning to raise Conan for a Lifetime?”
“Cough cough cough…” Conan choked on a Pear chunk and turned his Head to cough.
“Conan, be careful,” Mouri Ran quickly helped Conan pat his back, comforting him in a tone of coaxing Children, “It’s okay, as long as Conan is willing, he can live at the Office for as long as he wants.”
Conan stopped coughing, straightened up, and looked at Chi Feichei Speechless.
He was eating well, why did he suddenly Say such Words.
Chi Feichei didn't continue to Say anything. He just Realized that Ran was raising her future Boyfriend like raising a Son without knowing it, and couldn't help but Ask.
“But, this is actually Goji Berry, then is this considered Kampo Medicine?” Belmode, with Niide Disguise Mask on her Face, scooped up Goji Berry with a Spoon, looking like she was observing seriously.
Facing the Food that Raki had touched, she must not rush to eat it. It is best to wait for others to finish eating and wait for a minute or two to see if others have Poisoning Death before eating.
Although this seems a bit cowardly, and although Raki has never Poisoned anyone in the Organization since joining the Organization, she doesn't want to gamble on whether Raki is making this Food in a Normal State, let alone die so unjustly.
She would not forget Pisco's evaluation of Raki as ‘capricious’. No matter what, Pisco was also an Elder of the Organization, and would not talk nonsense, and could also feel the dangerous Aura revealed by others. Something must have happened at that time to make Pisco so nervous.
And Pisco's nervousness was very reasonable. She was careless at the beginning, so she was tricked by Raki and foolishly drank the Poisoned Liquor.
She will not fall into the same Pitfall twice.
Preventing Mouri Ran and Conan from eating would seem very suspicious, and might make Raki suspect her. She can only let Conan try it first.
If Conan is Poisoned, she can still find a way, but if she eats with the other two, once she loses the gamble, it will really be a total annihilation.
“Probably.” Chi Feichei said uncertainly.
Kampo Medicine is just a Japanese Statement for ‘Traditional Chinese Medicine’.
Rock Sugar Stewed Pear tastes better than many Desserts, but it is very effective for Cold from Wind-Heat, and it also has many Benefits if you eat it usually.
