Chapter 935: Are you treating him like a punch card?
"No..." Conan's panicked expression froze and vanished. He looked at Chi Feichei with a complicated gaze, sighed deeply, used his Watch Flashlight to illuminate and walk past Chi Feichei, entering the Abandoned Washroom. Seeing the gloomy and eerie environment inside, he sighed deeply again, his gaze towards Chi Feichei becoming even more complicated.
Chi Feichei turned back and closed the door.
Since he would misunderstand that he was on the phone, Conan probably didn't hear the content of his conversation, or even Otozawa Mami's voice.
Conan pondered how to talk to Chi Feichei.
When they first met, he heard that Chi Feichei had delusions and Auditory Hallucination, and he felt quite terrified. He had seen a case where the Criminal killed a Colleague with a good Relationship because of delusions and Auditory Hallucination. After getting along with him, he found that Chi Feichei only occasionally said some inexplicable Words, as if Communication with something invisible, or perhaps Communication with Heiji or other Animals. He probably gradually got used to it, and since Chi Feichei didn't have any strange Behavior, he didn't take it to Heart.
However, tonight as he came along the Corridor, he faintly heard someone talking here. Only when he got closer did he recognize that it was Chi Feichei's voice.
In the Old House abandoned for ten years, what was Chi Feichei whispering alone in the dark Washroom?
Just now he also comforted himself, telling himself not to overthink and not to be alarmed, because Chi Feichei might be on a Phone Call with someone, or had called the Police Officer Ambush downstairs to come up to Communicate Situation.
But when Chi Feichei opened the door, there was no Mobile Phone in his hand, and there was no one in the Washroom, then...
A chill ran down his Back.
Chi Feichei stared at Conan, feeling uncomfortable with Conan's strange gaze, which was very similar to the Stare of the Great Demon King Zhi Ming Fukuyama, "Don't look at me like that, what are you doing here?"
Conan felt that Chi Feichei's State might be a bit off, and he'd better not stimulate Chi Feichei anymore. He instantly changed to a naive and innocent Expression, Acting Cute in a childish voice, "I saw you haven't returned for a long time, and I was worried that you couldn't find the Washroom~!"
Chi Feichei was Speechless, extinguished the Cigarette that had burned to the end on the Sink, put away the Cigarette Butt, turned around and went out the Door, "Let's go."
Cold Wind poured in from the broken Window, and after the only light went out, the surroundings became darker.
Before leaving, Conan looked up and saw his dim and blurry reflection in the broken Mirror, sighed in his Heart, put his hands in his pockets and followed out the Door.
Fortunately, he had a strong Heart.
Anyone else would have been scared Crazy by Hissashi long ago.
...Late at Night, the lights of the Village Houses were gradually turned off, and the strange cry of a Bird 'coo coo' came from afar.
A Little Black climbed into the Attic of the Otozawa Family, rummaged through the piles of Boxes, found a Cloth Bag from a Box, carefully opened the Cloth Bag, and looked at the Gems inside with joy.
"You really came after all."
Haibara Ai said, walking out from behind the Boxes, opened the Watch Flashlight, and shined it on the Black Shadow, "Mr. Sakamoto (Sakamoto Shouji)."
Genta and Mitsuhiko also walked out from behind the Boxes, using Watch Flashlights to illuminate the person who revealed his True Form in the Light.
"We have been waiting for you for a long time!"
"This time you can't escape!"
Shoji Sakaki was startled, then got up, pretending to be stupid and said, "W-what are you talking about? I just couldn't sleep, so I came out for a walk, and then I walked into this House that looks very similar..."
Haibara Ai raised the Mobile Phone in her hand that was on a Phone Call, and Mori Kogoro's voice came from the Mobile Phone.
"Then how do you explain the Gems in your hand? Mr. Sakamoto (Sakamoto Shouji)! Those Gems should be the Gems that were robbed from the Next Door village half a year ago, right?..."
Conan hid Outside the Door, using the Phone Call connected with Haibara Ai, and used Mori Kogoro's voice to speak Deduction.
"Mr. Sakamoto (Sakamoto Shouji), actually you are the main Criminal who killed Eiji Nagakura and then embezzled the Gems..."
Shoji Sakaki quibbled a few times, seeing that he really couldn't argue his way out, he tightened the Cloth Bag in his hand containing Gems, waved the Dagger in his hand to scare away the Young Police Officer and Children who came over, and suddenly turned around and ran towards the Window.
Behind the Wooden Box beside the Window, Chi Feichei leaned against the Wall Side, visually estimated that Shoji Sakaki had entered the Attack range, and kicked out with one foot.
Otozawa Mami appeared Outside the window, floating in the air, "Give it back to me, give back Eiji..."
"Bang!"
Shoji Sakaki smashed into the Attic Wall, the mouth of the Cloth Bag in his hand fell to Aside, the mouth of the Cloth Bag opened, and the Gems inside spilled all over the Ground.
Only then did Chi Feichei Turn Head to look at Otozawa Mami Outside the window.
Why is it stuck?
Otozawa Mami: "..."
Big brother is indeed a good person, he took care of everything from finding the main Criminal, exposing the main Criminal, and arresting the main Criminal.
The Young Police Officer called for Personnel, dragged the unconscious Shoji Sakaki Downstairs, picked up the Gems scattered on the Ground with an Evidence Bag himself, just raised his head to say thank you, and found that Chi Feichei and the Children had already disappeared, scratched his Head in Doubt, and continued Packing Up.
Downstairs, Ayumi was draped in a White Cloak, standing with her Back to the Window, and immediately Turned Head when she heard Footsteps, "Conan! Everyone!"
Conan ran to the front, Stop Walking, and smiled, "You did a great job, Ayumi!"
"Your Acting Skill was truly amazing just now!" Mitsuhiko also praised.
Chi Feichei walked at the end, looked up at the Window of the House Attic.
Conan actually saw Otozawa Mami who appeared as Ayumi, how many degrees of myopia is this?
Outside the Attic, Otozawa Mami showed Chi Feichei a sweet smile, and her Figure slowly dissipated.
"What Acting Skill?" Ayumi looked at Conan in Doubt, "I have been standing here quietly just now."
"But, just now that..."
Genta was interrupted by Mitsuhiko's exclamation before he could finish speaking.
"Ah!" Mitsuhiko pointed at the White Shadow Outside the Attic Window, and said with a terrified Expression, "Y-you guys look at that!"
Otozawa Mami's Figure has already Integrated into the White Mist. Conan looked up and looked, and said Speechless, "That's just Mist, you see clearly."
"Is it Mist?!"
Mitsuhiko and Genta looked again, and found that it was really a ball of White Mist that was about to dissipate.
"This is called the Brocken Spectre phenomenon. This is a light phenomenon where light is reflected through Clouds and Mist, and diffraction and interference occur in the Water Drop in the Clouds and Mist, and finally form a Circle Rainbow halo. The halo often includes the Shadow of the observer himself. Some places will regard it as Buddha's Light." After Haibara Ai finished her explanation, she concluded, "That's just Nature's Mist and Light playing a Magic Trick, projecting Ayumi's Figure onto it."
Ayumi looked enlightened, "Was the Mami I saw that Night also because of this phenomenon?"
"Correct," Conan smiled, "So, there are absolutely no phenomena in this World that Theory and Deduction cannot explain!"
Chi Feichei withdrew his Line of Sight, his Left Hand still in his Coat Pocket, his fingers gently stroking the Stone with rough Epidermis, the Name engraved on the Stone was gradually fading, and finally he could no longer feel the childish Lines of the carving.
It seems that Conan and Haibara are firm Science believers.
Even if he took out the Stone, no one would believe that Otozawa Mami gave it to him, and it is estimated that they would think that his Illness was even more serious.
Even if he showed his Claw, it is estimated that these Children would also look at him with a terrified Expression, suspecting that he was a Test Subject in some Human Body modification Research.
In response, he can only Say... 'Whatever makes you Happy'.
...The next day in the evening, on Tokyo Street.
A Black Porsche 356A was parked on the Roadside. Gin, waiting for Vodka's Opening, Sense that his Mobile Phone rang, took it out and Looked at it.
【Returned. --Raki】
Gin suddenly remembered something, returned to the Email List, and flipped through the Emails from Recently.
【I'm going to Osaka tomorrow to attend a Banquet, and I'll be back in two days. The Boss asked me to tell you that if there is anything convenient, I can help you deal with it. --Raki】
【I'm back, just arrived in Tokyo. --Raki】
【I'm going to Tottori tomorrow, for three days. The Boss asked me to tell you. --Raki】
【I'm back. --Raki】
【I'm going to Yokohama, at most two days, just telling you. --Raki】
【Going to Kyoto, for a week. --Raki】
【Returned. --Raki】
【Going to Karuizawa, for three days. --Raki】
【Returned. --Raki】
【Huis Ten Bosch, for three days. --Raki】
【Returned. --Raki】
【Guizawa Village, for three days. --Raki】
...
Is this treating him like a punch card?
Not even a work punch card, but a travel punch card!
And getting even lazier!
He really wanted to Say to The Boss 'Don't let Raki find me to check in every time', but he couldn't.
He really needed to know Raki's Location. If Raki had an Accident, or if there was something urgent in Tokyo, he could at least know Raki's Situation, whether he could Help or... where Raki died.
The Problem seems to be with Raki's 'Freedom of Activity', but can't that Fellow just stay in Tokyo obediently for a while?
【Resting. --Gin】
After Gin Replied, he didn't clear the Email. He wouldn't let his Mobile Phone fall into other people's hands. The various Passwords set in the Mobile Phone were also very Complex, and he also needed to keep some recent Intelligence, so he didn't need to clear it too frequently.
"Buzz..."
New Email:
【Sea Vacation, for one day. --Raki】
Gin: "..."
Damn it... Go to hell!
...Beihu Town a Car Repair Shop.
Chi Feichei didn't wait for a Reply, quickly pressed a familiar Phone Number, and dialed.
His Mobile Phone Email is cleared frequently, and he doesn't keep unimportant Emails, but he remembers that at the beginning, Gin would also Reply with things like, 'There is nothing going on in Tokyo Recently, I will contact you again if there is something,' and 'There is nothing for us to do there.' Recently, it's just:
【Understood, contact me if there is something. --Gin】
【Nothing. --Gin】
【Ok. --Gin】
【Resting. --Gin】
His Attitude is extremely Indifference and seems very impatient.
Gin has changed.
The Phone Call connected.
"Hello?"
"It's me."
"Ah, the Evil Child of Nature? How is it? Are you free tonight?"
"I'm free. I'm picking up the Car, and I'll go back to pick up Heiji and them later."
"Then I'll go rent a Yacht first. Dabai and Jubei and them are at my Home now, and I will bring them over together. Tuanzi's side still has to wait for The Zoo to close, right?"
"Uh-huh, I'll pick you up then."
"Then I'll prepare Dinner by the way. How about Hot Pot for Dinner tonight? Try my Skill."
"Okay, I'll contact you again when I get to the Wharf."
