Chapter 931 Conan: The Sense of Crisis Grows Stronger
Conan snapped out of his thoughts and avoided Chi Feichei's Line of Sight.
Being stared at by Chi Feichei with that kind of Gaze felt even more frightening.
"According to the Report, Mrs. Yong Cang also claimed to believe in her son's innocence during the interview," Chi Feichei continued, "Mr. Nagakura is a supporter of the Village's application for Earth Heritage, but there are some people in the Village who oppose it. He constantly stated that there were no Ghosts and became emotional when mentioning his son, probably because he was worried that these Things would affect the success of the Earth Heritage application."
"Then," Haibara Ai took over the conversation, "when he said last night that we 'were sent by them', he suspected that we were sent by the opposition to make trouble, right?"
"That should be the case," Chi Feichei Say.
Conan Looked up at Chi Feichei, "Then what you Say, there is a Jewelry Appraiser beside us..."
"Mr. Sakaki Shoji," Chi Feichei Confirm, "When we were drinking last night, I Observed others. Mr. Sakaki has a habit of squinting his left Eye and only using his Right Eye to See Things. He Looked at the Wine Glass and the Drinks, and this happened more than ten times during the drinking Process."
"I See," Conan Understood, "That should be a habit developed from using a Magnifying Glass to Observe certain items, and he should have been using a Magnifying Glass for Observation for a long Time, so he is used to Observing Things like this even without a Magnifying Glass."
"When I passed him the Wine Bottle, I touched his Right Hand. There was a Callus on the first Joint of his Right Hand's Finger, near the back of the finger, and it hasn't softened yet, so it can't be a Callus formed by holding a Pen for a long Time. The Callus formed by holding a Pen will be on the side of the finger, and a hard Callus will form near the back of the finger. It should be left by holding a Magnifying Glass for a long Time," Chi Feichei Say, "The Callus hasn't softened much, so he hasn't been out of the Profession for less than a year."
Conan Nodded and Asked again, "Then have you Test him?"
"I Asked about everyone's Professions," Chi Feichei took out a Cigarette Case, took out a Cigarette and bit it, "He Lied. He Lied and Say he was a Middle School Teacher and took advantage of the short vacation to Travel."
"What about the others?" Haibara Ai Asked, "Are there any others who are more Suspicious?"
"Mr. Sangashima Say he is a Company Employee. He complained that his Work was tedious and that he had been Working for more than ten years without any Opportunity for Promotion. He Should not be Lying," Chi Feichei took out a Lighter, lowered his Eyes and lit the Cigarette, "When he usually sits, his left Shoulder is tilted upwards, and his Head is also habitually tilted to the left. He carries a stack of his own Business Card and Company Business Card. The Joint at the tiger's mouth of his Right Hand is larger than that of ordinary people. He Should be a salesperson in a certain Company's sales department, not in insurance sales, but a person who takes orders or provides after-sales service for physical products. When these people answer Landline Phone Calls and need to Record, they will tilt their Heads and use their Ears and Shoulders to clamp the Phone, freeing up their Right Hand to hold a Notebook to Record. This Position is indeed tedious. If you do it right, it is what you Should do, and if you do it wrong, it is a Mistake. It is difficult to have an Opportunity for Promotion..."
Conan continued to Nod. He had not touched the hands of those two people, nor had he paid attention to Observation, but on closer Recall, Kazuaki Kuwashima's Head and Shoulders were indeed a little tilted.
Chi Feichei added, "Also, his Action of pouring Liquor. When I went to the Izakaya with Teacher Mouri, I often encountered Company Employees having Gatherings. The Action of pouring Liquor like Mr. Sangashima, with both hands raised flat and his Body lowered and leaning forward to face the other party, is also a habit that most lower-level Employees have. He Say he has been Working for more than ten years without Promotion, and I believe it."
Conan: "..."
He also believed it.
"So, so amazing!" Genta, who had been listening blankly, exclaimed in admiration.
Mitsuhiko Nodded heavily, his Eyes shining, "Just Like Holmes!"
"That's not true," Conan couldn't help but speak for his Idol, Half-Moon Eyes Say, "Holmes can judge a lot of Information about the other party at first glance, and can also know Whether the other party is Lying, without having to drink together to investigate!"
"Isn't that almost the Same?" Mitsuhiko Asked back.
Conan: "..."
He... he... Okay, he admitted that Chi Feichei's Growth Speed was too terrifying. Other people approached Holmes at most at a running Speed, but this guy was approaching by jumping several meters at a Time.
What was going on with the Sense of Crisis in his Heart getting stronger and stronger?
"There is also a Weird Place," Chi Feichei Turn Head Look Towards the Otozawa House Houses base, "The Soil of the base is very new."
Conan Turn Head Looked, Thoughtful Say, "When I checked into the Nagakura Residence yesterday, I also noticed that the Soil of the Nagakura Residence base was also very new, not Like it hasn't been moved for hundreds of years..."
"And when I came along the Road, I Saw that at least the Households along the Road were not Like this," Chi Feichei added.
"I Understand," Mitsuhiko Say seriously, "Mr. Nagakura Eiko is indeed the Hijacker who robbed the Jewelry Store, but he also has an Accomplice, who is the Jewelry Appraiser. After he pretended to Hijacker the Appraiser and escape, he returned to his Hometown and hid the Jewelry in Some Place here. Afterwards, the Jewelry Appraiser killed Eiko to take the Jewelry for himself, but he didn't know the specific Location where the Jewelry was hidden, so he pretended to be a tourist and returned here, secretly digging Soil in the basement of the Nagakura Family and Yosawa Family Houses at Night, Because he knew that Eiko had a Childhood Sweethearts who he had deep Emotion for but had already passed away, and that House was an Empty House that had been uninhabited for ten years, so Eiko might have buried the Jewelry in the basement of the Yosawa Family besides burying it in his own Home!"
"Okay!" Genta rolled up his Sleeves, "Then let's find the Jewelry quickly!"
"Wait," Haibara Ai raised a Question, "It's not easy to dig through the underground of Houses. Even if no one lives in the Yosawa Family, he can sneak over to dig, but what about the Nagakura Family? The Nagakura couple are often at Home, and they also entertain many tourists at Home. If he can't secretly dig through the underground without alarming others, and if he comes disguised as a tourist, he has to come at least twice, each Time staying for more than five Days, to avoid others and secretly dig through the underground, or come and stay for more than half a month at a Time, but in that case, he would have been noticed long ago. Even if he disguises himself as another Appearance, the Nagakura couple in charge of hospitality will Sense something is Wrong, right?"
Mitsuhiko Be Stunned, "Makes Sense..."
Chi Feichei was Silent.
As Long As there is one Point that does not make Sense or has no basis, the entire Reasoning may be completely Wrong, not to mention, he just Suspected that 'Shoji Sakaki', 'Jewelry Appraiser' may be an Important Clue. If you really want to Say basis, there is none yet, so now it can only be Speculation.
But he still Think that Mitsuhiko may have also hit the Key Point this Time, but there is still a Problem...
"Then let's Ask the Villagers again!" Conan Say seriously Proposal, "Ask them Whether they have Recently Discovered any Weird people near the Yosawa Family and Nagakura Family, or Whether anything Weird has happened. Probably we can Confirm Whether what Mitsuhiko Say is Correct."
"That's right," Genta Say full of energy, "So Many Villagers, someone will definitely notice something!"
Ayumi smiled, "Then We..."
Chi Feichei: "Go Home for Lunch first."
Five Kid: "Yes..."
...
After Lunch, Chi Feichei did not Follow a Group of Child to run around again.
Conan Suspected that Chi Feichei was going to secretly look for Clue, but after Thinking about it, it was better to actively look for other Case Solving Approachs himself. He couldn't always Follow Chi Feichei's Pace and rhythm, Otherwise it would definitely not Benefit him in the long run.
Dependence is unacceptable!
A Group of Child ran until Night before returning to Nagakura Residence. They Discovered that the drinking group had started drinking again at some Point, and after eating Dinner in a hurry, they ran upstairs.
Chi Feichei found an Opportunity to get rid of the drinking group, and also used 'Rest' as a Reason to return to the Second Floor Room in Advance.
Mori Kogoro was still drinking Downstairs, so their male group's Room was currently very Suitable for holding a small meeting.
Sure enough, five Child were already sitting neatly in the Room, preparing to hold a meeting for Discussion.
Hearing the sound of the Door opening, five Child Turn Head in unison.
Haibara Ai Saw that it was Chi Feichei, and Asked, "Why are you drinking again?"
Chi Feichei closed the Room Door, "It's been a while since I Kept Company Teacher to drink."
Even Genta, Mitsuhiko, and Ayumi Understood.
"Uncle Mori must have Call everyone to drink together again!" Ayumi Say with a smile.
"Then do you have any other Gains?" Haibara Ai Asked.
"Uh-huh, what about you?" Chi Feichei Go To Aside and sat down.
"We Asked the Villagers here. In the past, the Yosawa Family was at the Location of the Nagakura Family, and the Nagakura Family was at the Location of the Yosawa Family, but not long ago, Mr. Nagakura Gen swapped the Houses of the two Families," Haibara Ai Say, "He directly dug the base and used Engineering Vehicle to swap the Houses of the two Families."
"I Think the Reason Should be that the current Location of the Nagakura Family is the High Place of the Village and the most Suitable Place to See the Scenery. It's no wonder Mr. Nagakura is so supportive of applying for Earth Heritage here, Because once the Earth Heritage application is successful, Guizawa Village will become a famous tourist attraction, and among all the Guesthouse, the current Location of the Nagakura Family, which is the original Location of the Yosawa Family, will be more popular with tourists. In the future, there will be no Worry about Guest check-in, and the fee can be higher than other Households. This Time the fee is obviously higher than other Guesthouse," Conan Say, Look Towards Mitsuhiko, "But the Soil of the base is very new Because Mr. Nagakura swapped the Houses of the two Families before, not Because it was dug, and the Villagers did not See anyone digging Soil near the Yosawa Family and Nagakura Family, so Mitsuhiko's previous Idea is not valid."
Mitsuhiko Nodded, but couldn't help but Say again, "But, I still Think Mr. Sakaki is very Suspicious. Why did he Lie and Say he was a Middle School Teacher?"
Conan was Silent. He also felt that Shoji Sakaki was Suspicious. It was Intuition, and it could be considered a bit of basis. At least Shoji Sakaki's Lying was unreasonable, and his own subtle Profession as an Appraiser might be related to the Eiko Nagakura case.
"Suspicious Person is not just Mr. Sakaki," Haibara Ai Looked at Chi Feichei and explained, "After We Asked the Villagers about the Nagakura Family and Yosawa Family, We wanted to Check Whether there were any Clue in the Place where Ayumi Followed the Girl Suspected of being Mami last Night, and Whether last Night's Matter was related to these Things, so We Followed the Road Ayumi walked last Night. Ayumi walked all the way to the Shrine at the bottom of the Village last Night..."
"Afterwards, Mami disappeared with a whoosh," Ayumi Say, "I shouted for a long Time but she didn't come out. Afterwards, I was too sleepy, so I fell asleep at the Foot of a Tree of the cedar tree near the Shrine."
"Haibara Classmate Discovered a grayish-white Yukata Outerwear in the River beside the Shrine," Mitsuhiko Say, "The Collar was embroidered with the Character 'Tamai'. It Should be the Clothes of the Tamai Family in the Village, but the Tamai Family is far from the Shrine, and you have to pass through the Forest. It is Impossible for it to be blown by the Wind."
"When We were at the Shrine, We also Saw the Uncle with a bad Attitude wearing a Purple Suit," Genta Say, "He was Secretive hiding Behind Tree, gesticulating at the Village with a Tree Branch, and kept taking Photos with a Camera!"
Conan touched his chin, "He gesticulated with Tree Branch, Should be measuring or Assessment the Buildings of the Village..."
