Digging a Pit for Belmode
Beihu Town.
Ayumi, carrying her schoolbag and a bag, walked quickly down the Street with an umbrella in hand, in a good mood. She thought that when she arrived at the meeting place, she must happily say to everyone: "Long time no see, I missed you all during the holiday!"
A Car stopped in front, and a Middle-aged Uncle in the Back Seat got out of the Car with an umbrella. After bending down to say goodbye to the driver, he walked towards the Apartment on the Roadside.
"Huh?"
Ayumi stopped, looked up at the Apartment the Man entered, and her eyes lit up. She quickly followed, waiting for the Man to swipe his card, and followed him Inside the Door.
The Middle-aged Uncle had a Kind face. After entering the Elevator, he noticed Ayumi following him in and said with a smile, "Little Sister, are you new here? Which Floor are you going to? I'll press the Elevator for you."
Ayumi was about to happily agree when a calm voice suddenly popped up in her mind:
【When a Girl takes the Elevator alone in an unfamiliar Place, if she finds that there are only one or two strangers in the Elevator, or if strangers suddenly squeeze into the Elevator, it is best to wait for the next one. If you are in a hurry, remember not to press the Floor Number before the other party...】
"I... I forgot," Ayumi pretended to be puzzled and recalled, walking out of the Elevator, "Sorry, I have to wait for my Older Brother, Uncle, please go first."
The other party didn't think that a Little Girl would endanger the Safety here, smiled kindly, pressed the Floor Number he lived on, and before the Elevator Door closed, he smiled again, "I am a Residents living on the 27th Floor, you are welcome to bring your Family over as guests when you have time!"
"Thank You, Uncle."
Ayumi watched the Elevator Door close, feeling relieved in her Heart.
It seems he's not a Bad Person, am I being too careful... No, no, Brother Chi also Said - better safe than sorry!
The Elevator came down again, Ayumi got into the Elevator, pressed the 11th Floor Number, and waited for the Elevator Door to open again. After Confirming that she had arrived at the 11th Floor, she looked up at the Number on the Door and rang the Doorbell.
"Ding-ling-ding-ling! Ding-ling-ding-ling!"
There was no Response from Inside the Door for a long time.
Ayumi stood for a while, then rang the Doorbell again, and Said aloud, "Brother Chi, are you not Home? I'm Ayumi, I'm passing by here on my way to School and wanted to see you."
"Half a moment!"
A Woman's voice came from the Intercom.
Ayumi was surprised, Wo, Woman?
Soon, the Door opened.
A tall Woman in a Yukata poked her head out of the Door. Her Curly Hair of light Golden color was casually tied behind her head, and a strand of Curly Hair fell on her Shoulder. Her water-green Pupil reflected the Little Lori standing at the Entrance, with a hint of Doubt and Curiosity, and her Japanese was not Standard when she spoke, "Are you here to find Chi Feichei?"
"Ah, yes," Ayumi Nodded, and introduced Oneself sweetly, "Young lady, hello, my Name is Ayumi."
Belmode smiled, using the Door to block her view, put her Right Hand behind her back, put the Gun she had been holding tightly back on the Bandage on her Leg, then opened the Door, and still Said in not-so-Standard Japanese, "Come in and sit down, are you here to visit him?"
Chris Vineyard was an American People who couldn't speak Japanese when she was questioned by the Police at the Beito Municipal Hotel. She had to play the Play to the fullest.
"Yes! I was passing by here on my way to School, so I wanted to Check if Brother Chi's Cold is better," Ayumi Nodded and entered the Door, looked around, saw Chi Feichei and Non-Ink running out, and Greeted with a smile, "Chi Feichei! Non-Ink! Huh? There are Kittens?"
"Chi Feichei found them a few days ago," Belmode closed the Door and walked towards the Living Room, "He Named the Cat Wu Ming. It seems to be a Stray Cat that was Ill. He took the Cat to see a doctor, and then brought it Home."
Ayumi squatted down, Reached Out to Wu Ming standing in front of the half-opened Room Door, and seriously introduced Oneself, "Wu Ming, hello, I'm Ayumi."
Scum Cat Wu Ming didn't buy it, and Turned Head and went into the Room.
"It doesn't like Contact with people very much," Belmode bent down behind Ayumi, Just Like a gentle and Kind Older Sister, and Said softly, "It is only willing to let Chi Feichei hold it. Even if I want to hold it, it refuses."
"It's so shy," Ayumi Turned Head, and asked tentatively, "Young lady, you are so beautiful, are you Brother Chi's Girlfriend?"
"Thank you, but not yet," Belmode's Eyes were smiling, "I just heard that he was Ill, so I came to take care of him."
Ayumi then remembered the Purpose of her visit and quickly asked, "Then is he better?"
"Not very well, he has been having a Fever since yesterday, and he has no Appetite. The Medicine didn't reduce the Fever, and he just fell asleep," Belmode Drama King possessed her, straightened up, deliberately frowned slightly, showing a worried expression, walked to Chi Feichei's Room Door, opened the Room Door and Looked, and lowered her voice, "He is still sleeping, let's not wake him up."
Ayumi followed up, saw Chi Feichei sleeping soundly on the Bed with a Wet Towel on his Head, Nodded, Handed Over the Bag in her Hand to Belmode, and carefully lowered her voice, "Young lady, when Brother Chi wakes up, please give this to him. Inside are Little Rabbit Cookies that I made with my Mother last Night. Originally, I wanted to bring them to Conan and the others to try, but Brother Chi is not feeling well, so I'll give them to him. Ayumi Hopes he gets well soon."
Belmode Receive the Bag, Looked at Ayumi's serious expression, and asked with a smile in a low voice, "Give him Things, aren't you worried that your Friends will be angry?"
Ayumi Shook Head, "No, everyone won't be angry."
"Then come with me." Belmode tiptoed and closed the Door, took Ayumi to the Kitchen, and started Packing Up Food for Ayumi, "You should also bring some Gifts for your Friends..."
Ten minutes later, Ayumi left with a Bag of Food. She politely Said goodbye to Belmode. When she walked to the Elevator, she realized that she had forgotten to ask the other party's Name, but seeing that the Door had been closed, considering that she had been delayed for a long time, she returned and quickly walked into the Elevator.
In the Living Room of Room 1102, Belmode closed the Door, went to the Room Door and Looked, found that Chi Feichei was still not awake, ate Breakfast alone, sent Emails in the Living Room while smoking, and By the Way helped Chi Feichei change the Wet Towel on his Head in the middle, and then Leisurely went to take a Bath, changed Clothes, Packed Up her Things, took out a Red Pen and wrote a paragraph on the Cardstock, put a Lip Print on it, and then went out with her Things.
"Pa..."
The Living Room Door was closed softly. The next second, the silent Room boiled.
Chi Feichei, Wu Ming, Xiao Mei, and Non-Ink ran to watch the Paper Strip on the Table.
In the Room, Chi Feichei opened his Eyes and sat up against the Bedhead.
Non-Ink flew back and forth, and was the first to return to the Room, landed on the Bedside Table, and reported with a caw, "Master, we stared at the whole process, no Weird Things were left at Home, Belmode took away all her Things, including the Hair in the Drain of the Washroom, only left a Paper Strip, which Said that she has Follow-up affairs to Handling with her Manager and contract termination, so she went back to America first, and told you to remember to go to the Hospital, don't let her Worry, and also left a Lip Print on the Signature... Master, is she Intentionally doing this? Actually, she could have not opened the Door at all."
"Uh-huh." Chi Feichei Reached Out and took the Water Cup placed on the Bedside Table, took two sips of Water, "She told Ayumi to share Food with her Friends after School Dismissal, Just to make sure that Conan can get the News after Elementary School Dismissal. As Long As Ayumi mentions it, Conan will Definitely Think of her, and then Come Over here, and before Conan arrives, she has already Packed Up her Things and safely escaped."
Non-Ink Pondered, "Then she lured Conan over..."
"To Pitfall me," Chi Feichei put the Cup back on the Bedside Table, lay down again, "She didn't write about Ayumi's visit on the Paper Strip. When Conan comes to the Door, with Conan's Curiosity, he will Definitely ask me Questions to get to the bottom of it. As Long As there is a slight Dislocation between my Statement and hers, Conan will Suspect me. Even if Conan doesn't Suspect that I am People from the Organization, he will also Suspect my Relationship with her. And Even If I temporarily distract Conan at that time and secretly send Emails to collude with her, it may be Discovered by Conan..."
That's right, Belmode is still Gambling.
Digging a Pit casually, if she wins the Gambling, Conan will start to Pay Attention To him secretly, which is equivalent to giving Conan a little Hint. If she loses the Gambling, there is no Loss.
Even if he finds Belmode and Questions Belmode why she opened the Door, Belmode can Probably fool him. He can even help Belmode find a good Statement—
'You are resting at Home because you are Ill. If someone comes to the Door, but finds that you are Offline, maybe they will Suspect that you secretly left Home to do Bad Deeds. I saw that there was only a seven- or eight-year-old Little Girl, so I opened the Door and let her See that you are indeed Ill, which is not Bad for you. It should be no Problem for you to fool that Little Girl, Raki?'
'I left in Advance without Saying goodbye to you? I think if I stay any longer, if someone comes to you again, maybe it will cause you Troublesome, and it's Time for me to leave too...'
In Belmode's opinion, he doesn't know about 'Conan is Kudo Shinichi and is Staring at the Organization'. If he is careless when facing Children, maybe he won't Care About whether she opened the Door for a Little Girl.
Belmode's Pitfall is still the familiar Flavor, still the familiar Recipe, the Same as before, regardless of whether it can be successful or not, it doesn't expose Oneself, and she still wants to Pitfall him so that he doesn't even know when he dropped his Alias, and why he dropped his Alias, and was marked red by Conan.
Fortunately, he had been Defenses against Belmode early on. How could he sleep so soundly when Belmode was staying at his Home?
Even if he is not feeling well, he must spare half of his Mind to be Vigilance when sleeping!
"Furthermore, she suffered a little Loss in the Duel with Conan, Ai, and the FBI. She is not Balanced in her Heart and wants to scare those two a A Bit," Chi Feichei added.
Even if she doesn't Pitfall him, she can also scare Conan and Haibara Ai. Anyway, opening a Door and Saying a few Words is something that she can just leave after doing, so why not do it for Belmode?
"Scare Conan and Ai," Non-Ink smacked his Mouth, "Then it's okay, Master, are you Hungry? Do you want to eat Something?"
Chi Feichei wrapped the Quilt tightly, closed his Eyes, "Wait until I wake up."
Belmode is gone, and he can also sleep well in peace.
Moreover, Belmode doesn't seem to be Pitfalling him in a Mad and frantic Degree. Confirming that Conan and his Group will be lured over before leaving, in this way, if his Illness worsens and he has a high Fever and becomes muddle-headed, at least someone can send him to the Hospital or help him Call Ambulance...
P.S. [Dog head] The chapter name was originally called [Digging a Pit for Bourbon], but after thinking about it, it’s still more appropriate to Pitfall Belmode [dog head]. Thank you for your tolerance, and thank you for your support! [Kneeling and thanking] I will continue to work hard! [Kneeling and thanking]
P.S. Thanks to the two new Lord Mengs for the additional updates, etc. in March... (Really - feel like I've been emptied out)
[Thank you]
