Chapter 951: How Many Cups Have You Had? [Bonus chapter for Lord Meng, Book Friend 201906...]
Mori Detective Agency.
Haibara Ai saw Hissashi suddenly turn his head to look outside the window, and followed his gaze with confusion. However, due to her height, she could only see the blue Sky. "Brother Hichiji, What's Wrong?"
"Is it the end of April now?" Chi Feichei asked.
"Yes, April 21st." Haibara Ai observed Chi Feichei's Clothes, then looked at Sawada Hiroki's Clothes. Fortunately, it was indeed spring attire, which meant Brother Hichiji hadn't mistaken the Season.
"Does April have anything to do with the Notice from this Notice?" Conan asked in a low voice.
"No," Chi Feichei retracted his thoughts, "Spring is suitable for flying kites. It's windy today, I'll take you to fly kites later."
Sawada Hiroki's Eyes lit up. When his Mother was alive, she had flown a kite with him once, but only once. His Father hadn't gone, and that was when he was about four years old, he could hardly remember it.
He was going to fly a kite with Godfather!
Conan staggered. Hey, hey, at this time, you're not thinking about deciphering the Cipher in the Notice, but thinking about flying kites...
"But, the Detective Agency doesn't have a kite, right?" Haibara Ai recalled, "Doctor's House doesn't have one either. Student Kojima said his Home has a kite, but it seems to have been broken by him Recently."
"It's okay," Chi Feichei Station Get Up, put Sawada Hiroki on the Chair, "Wait For Me."
Since Mori Kogoro was still looking at the Notice, Chi Feichei didn't Step Forward to disturb him, Just went to the Water Boiler Room to Say hello to Mouri Ran, and Go Out to the General Goods Store at the Street Corner to buy a pile of Things.
When he came back, Chi Feichei hadn't even entered the Door when he heard Mori Kogoro's voice.
"I know! In the Notice sent by Kid, there are 3 Ws and 1 H respectively, representing 'who', 'When', 'Where', and 'How'..."
Chi Feichei opened the Door and entered the House with the Things.
"First is 'who', that goes without saying, it must be Kid! Next is 'Where', that is on the Stage of the Cosmic Theater where the Stage Play 'Romeo and Juliet' is performed! Then is 'When', the Notice mentioned 'Applause', that is when the Audience applauds, As For 'How'... the Letter mentioned 'Victor', which refers to Napoleon, that is, the person Kid wants to Disguise as!" Mori Kogoro stood in front of the Sofa, solemnly interpreting the Phrases on the Notice, "As For the Playing Cards drawn on the Letter, it represents 'V' for Victory! To sum up, Phantom Thief Kid will be on your performance of 'Josephine' Stage, when you finish the Performance and accept the Audience's Applause, Disguise as a Napoleon performer to steal the Jewel!"
Mouri Ran Step Forward to Help Chi Feichei take the Things in his Hand, and when she turned around carrying the Bag, her Line of Sight paused on the Ring Box in Maki Juri's Hand.
Chi Feichei Looked glanced, and found that the Ring Box contained a Star Sapphire Ring.
Star Sapphire is a Treasure among Gem Treasures. It is blue under white Light, indigo blue under Sunlight, Purple under yellow Light Source, and Red under ultraviolet Lamplight. There are three intersecting Light lines on the Gem that is polished into a convex shape, Just Like a six-pointed star, hence the name 'Star'.
The Star Sapphire inlaid on that Ring is quite large, blue with Purple undertones, delicate and clear, and the star lines are complete and bright, which are Characteristic of the highest Value Star Sapphire, and the Edge of the Gem is also inlaid with White Diamond, which is indeed very attractive to Female Line of Sight.
However, he remembered that Kid would give up the Ring this time, because the Star Sapphire on this Ring was fake.
Haibara Ai also Step Forward to Help Chi Feichei take the Bag. Seeing Chi Feichei noticing the Ring, she lowered her voice and Said, "That is the 'Jewel of Fate' that Kid intends to steal. Miss Juri Said that the three lines on it symbolize Trust, Hope, and Intertwined Fate. It's a very beautiful Jewel, and it's no wonder Phantom Thief Kid wants to steal it."
Chi Feichei Discovery Haibara Ai Should like this kind of Gem, otherwise she wouldn't use the adjective 'very beautiful'. "Mother Seemingly has two, if you like them, you can Ask Her to borrow them for two days when you have Time, Ran too."
"N-No Need." Mouri Ran sweat.
Two, two? And... can be borrowed to play for two days?
Looking at that Jewel again now, it doesn't Seemingly be so precious anymore.
Haibara Ai Speechless for a moment, and then Asked in a low voice, "Does Godmother collect many Gems? I remember Recently Newspaper Company Overseas Reported that she was also being Staring at by an International Thief to steal. What should I do if Phantom Thief Kid Staring at her?"
"It's okay, she's not afraid of being stolen." Chi Feichei Said.
Kuroba Chikage had Already Said to His Mom about Kuroba Kaito looking for the 'Pandora Gem', and His Mom also Said that if he wanted to See it, he could Just go over and See it for as long as he wanted.
Kuroba Kaito had no Need to send a Notice to steal His Mom's Gem at all. Even if he sent a Notice, His Mom would Probably throw the Gem to the Notice Location, without placing Security Guard, without any arrangements, and let Kuroba Kaito See it Oneself.
This kind of Matter without Audience and without a bit of Challenge is Obviously very inconsistent with Kuroba Kaito's arrogant Personality, so Kuroba Kaito intends to screen the Gems Outside, and if he really can't find the Pandora Gem, he will Consider going to His Mom's place to Check...
Just because he didn't provide an opportunity to show off, His Mom's Collection warehouse was so disliked.
While Haibara Ai was trying hard to Understand whether the Phrase 'she's not afraid of being stolen' was showing off wealth, Maki Juri clapped her Palms Smilingly, "Wonderful! Mr. Mouri is indeed a Famous Detective!"
"Where, where," Mori Kogoro Said triumphantly, Scratch Head Smilingly, "This is Just a Side Dish! Hahaha..."
Conan Looked at the Notice and raised a Question to Mori Kogoro, "Then Uncle, what does 'in the 26 English Letters flying and intertwining' refer to?"
"Idiot, count the English Letters on the Notice!" Mori Kogoro Said, "Romeo... Juliet... Victor... Bravo, a total of 26 Letters!"
Chi Feichei's Mind stuck for a moment, Looked at Mori Kogoro who was laughing heartily, Expressionless Said, "Teacher, How Many cups have you had?"
"Huh?" Mori Kogoro asked in Doubt, "It's not Lunch Time yet, I haven't drunk Liquor yet!"
Conan was Already counting on his Fingers, re-counting the Letters on the Notice uncertainly.
This Seemingly...
Chi Feichei saw that Mori Kogoro still hadn't Realize, and reminded him bluntly, "It's 22."
Was his Teacher drunk? Or was Mathematics taught by a physical education Teacher? It made him directly Doubt Self, Doubt that even his Number perception was Problem, and recalculated it repeatedly twice.
"Correct..." Conan also re-counted the Letters on the Notice one by one, Speechless Looked at Mori Kogoro, "Uncle, there are only 22 Letters on the Notice!"
Uncle actually made a mistake on the Problem of how many Letters there are, which made him count one by one on his Fingers Like an Elementary School Student.
But this Fellow Hissashi's Mouth is really poisonous, Saying 'How Many cups have you had'...
"How is that Possible!" Mori Kogoro expressed disbelief.
Mouri Ran stepped forward, Looked at the Notice and counted, "It's indeed 22, Even If you add the exclamation mark at the end, it's still 3 short."
"Then it must be Kid who counted wrong," Mori Kogoro unceremoniously threw the Responsibility to Kid, Looked towards Maki Juri, "Miss Juri, When will the 'Josephine' Stage Play perform until?"
"Tonight is the last night." Maki Juri Said in a gentle voice.
"Then there will be no mistake, Phantom Thief Kid will Definitely Take Action tonight!" Mori Kogoro Said in a determined Tone.
"Ah, I Understand, there is one more Matter I want to Troublesome you with," Maki Juri's Gaze at Mori Kogoro was gentle and expectant, "Although the Police will go over at that Time, I still want to ask you to go to the Theatre tonight to stop Kid from stealing the Jewel."
"No Problem!" Mori Kogoro Said spiritedly, "Mori Kogoro, will Never refuse a Beautiful Woman's Commission!"
"Then Thank You very much!" Maki Juri Said with a smile, Looked towards Yaguchi Masayo sitting beside her, "Hey, Masayo."
"Ah, yes..." Yaguchi Masayo took out two Envelopes from her Handbag and handed them to Maki Juri.
"These are tickets for tonight's Performance, I Hope you will bring Friends to appreciate it together," Maki Juri handed an Envelope to Mori Kogoro, and then Get Up and handed another Envelope to Chi Feichei, "Mr. Chi, please be sure to honor us with your presence."
"Thank You." Mori Kogoro took the Envelope.
Chi Feichei didn't refuse either, and accepted it.
When Mori Kogoro Get Up to send Maki Juri Go Out, Chi Feichei smoothly put the Envelope on the Table, Squat down, and flipped out the Things he had bought back from the Bag.
Cooling Mat, Wooden Strip, Fabric, Scissors, Needle and Thread, Alcohol Lamp, Noodles...
Mouri Ran bent down and Looked, "Brother Hichiji, what are you buying these for?"
Chi Feichei Start Doing to spread the Cooling Mat on the Ground, "Making kites, the main force-bearing part of the kite can be made of Wooden Strip, the Bamboo Strip dismantled from the Cooling Mat can be used as a detailed Skeleton, and Noodles are used to cook Paste, Parchment and Silk Fabric are used to cover the surface."
Making kites Oneself is more interesting.
Bringing Son, he was serious, so Parent-Child Interaction must be indispensable.
"Ah? Making kites by Hand?" Mouri Ran's Eyes lit up.
Conan couldn't Help but put the Notice Aside, and gathered around the Materials with Haibara Ai, "It's still making the most traditional kite!"
Kid? What Kid? Never Mind, he wants to try making kites now.
Haibara Ai bent down to Look at the Things on the Ground, and also completely threw the Matter of Phantom Thief Kid to the back of her Mind, "Brother Hichiji, what is the Alcohol Lamp for?"
"Baking Bamboo Strip," Chi Feichei explained, "It is convenient to Adjust the shape of the Bamboo Strip."
In the end, Chi Feichei's Parent-Child Interaction still turned into leading a Group of big Children and Children to do Handicraft...
Discovery that there were many tickets in the Envelope Maki Juri gave, Mouri Ran directly made a Phone Call and called Suzuki Sonoko, Doctor Agasa, and the other Children of the Junior Detective League over.
When Mitsuhiko heard that they were going to make kites, he also brought the Oil Paint Pigment from Home when he came.
Mouri Ran went to the Water Boiler Room and cooked Paste according to the method Chi Feichei Said.
The others sat on the Cooling Mat in the outer room, Discussing what kind of kite to make.
"Big one! With so many of us, why not make a very big kite!" Suzuki Sonoko Reached Out and gesticulated a big Circle in front of her, happily Said, "When the Time comes, put the kite into the Sky, it will Definitely be very cool!"
Haibara Ai Looked towards Chi Feichei, "These Materials for making big kites Should be blown apart, right?"
"Big kites won't work," Chi Feichei flipped out a Printed Paper and picked up a Pen, "After you Discuss what kind of kite you want to make, I will Help you draw a production drawing."
After a Discussion, the others of the Junior Detective League were persuaded by Genta and Decided to make an Eel kite, and write Characters on the long Tail of the fish to Advertise for their Junior Detective League.
Chi Feichei Help draw a picture and handed it to Doctor Agasa, "Doctor, Help them, I will make one with Xiao Shu, Sonoko, you and Ran can try to make one..."
Saying that, Chi Feichei Turn Head and asked Mori Kogoro, "Teacher, what about you?"
Mori Kogoro sat behind the Desk reading the Newspaper, Speechless waved his Hand and Said, "I don't Need it, I won't join in the Fun with you Group of Kids..."

"Is it the end of April now?" Chi Feichei asked.
"Yes, April 21st." Haibara Ai observed Chi Feichei's Clothes, then looked at Sawada Hiroki's Clothes. Fortunately, it was indeed spring attire, which meant Brother Hichiji hadn't mistaken the Season.
"Does April have anything to do with the Notice from this Notice?" Conan asked in a low voice.
"No," Chi Feichei retracted his thoughts, "Spring is suitable for flying kites. It's windy today, I'll take you to fly kites later."
Sawada Hiroki's Eyes lit up. When his Mother was alive, she had flown a kite with him once, but only once. His Father hadn't gone, and that was when he was about four years old, he could hardly remember it.
He was going to fly a kite with Godfather!
Conan staggered. Hey, hey, at this time, you're not thinking about deciphering the Cipher in the Notice, but thinking about flying kites...
