Chapter 970 Odagiri Father and Son's Decision
That night, because Hiroki Sawada fell asleep as soon as his head hit the pillow, and it was too late, Conan didn't start a night talk.
Kinu Kawa Kazuki thought he would have insomnia, but he underestimated how sleepy Children could be. Lying in the quiet room, he fell asleep in a short while, and slept very deeply. As a result, the next day early morning, he groggily opened his eyes and saw a snake head on Brother Chi's pillow next to him. His mind went blank, completely forgetting Hissashi's existence. His mind was full of thoughts: There's a snake, a live one, so scary... A snake got into the room, so scary... Then he screamed.
"Ah—!" Conan was scared and jolted awake. He quickly looked towards Kinu Kawa Kazuki who had thrown off the quilt and retreated to the wall corner, "What's wrong? What happened?"
Kinu Kawa Kazuki stood with his back against the wall. Seeing Chi Feichei also wake up and sit up, and Xiao Shu also rub his eyes and open his eyes, he pointed at Chi Feichei's pillow with a terrified expression, "Snake... There's a snake..."
Sawada Hiroki sat up and looked at Hissashi on the pillow next to him, looking blank, "It was originally there."
Kinu Kawa Kazuki: "..." It was originally there? It... Uh, it seems so.
"Kazuki?" Mouri Ran's anxious inquiry came from outside the door, "Brother Hissashi? Conan? What happened?"
"No..." Conan threw off the quilt, got up and stepped forward to open the door a door crack, looking up at Mouri Ran, "Kazuki forgot that Hissashi also came along, and was scared by Hissashi when he woke up."
Mouri Ran thought of the scene of waking up and seeing a snake next to her, and instantly understood, sweating a little, "I-Is that so..." Whether or not to ask Conan if he's afraid, and whether or not to switch to sleep with her or her Father in the future? But wouldn't that seem distant? Would it make Brother Hissashi overthink? Uh... never mind, Conan is a brave Child, it seems he won't be scared.
What Mouri Ran didn't know was that Conan had already experienced 'waking up and seeing a snake' scared more than once, but he didn't scream at the time, and he's long been used to it now.
Hearing Kinu Kawa Kazuki's scream, the hotel receptionist was also alarmed, thinking something happened again. Those on duty at night ran to the third floor, and those about to wake up were also scared awake and ran to the third floor.
In short, Kinu Kawa Kazuki was scared by Hissashi, and others were scared by Kinu Kawa Kazuki. Everyone was in high spirits... Those who should work worked, and those who should eat breakfast waited to eat breakfast.
Due to getting up too early and being too energetic, while Chi Feichei took Sawada Hiroki to the Restroom, Mouri Ran, Conan, and Kinu Kawa Kazuki sat at the table in the dining room, staring at each other in silence for a while.
"Cough," Mouri Ran felt it was a bit weird for everyone to just sit and wait for food early in the morning, so she found a topic, "Kazuki, are you okay?"
Kinu Kawa Kazuki remembered that he had actually forgotten Hissashi's existence and almost scared himself into wetting his pants, and felt embarrassed, "N-It's nothing."
Mouri Ran leaned her body towards Kinu Kawa Kazuki on the opposite side of the table, and asked in a low voice, "Then... what about your Mother's matter? My Father has to cooperate with the Police to handle Mr. Yaxia's case, and I don't know when he will be able to spare time. Whether or not Brother Hissashi and I should help you with the investigation? Brother Hissashi is also very capable!"
"Brother Ike has already solved it." Conan said.
"Huh?" Mouri Ran was surprised, "Brother Hissashi already knows who Kazuki's Mother is?"
Conan was just about to explain when he saw Sawada Hiroki trotting over.
"Brother Kazuki," Sawada Hiroki pulled Kinu Kawa Kazuki, "Come over here."
"Got it." Kinu Kawa Kazuki was a little doubtful, but he still got up and followed Sawada Hiroki to go out.
First Floor of the hotel, Chi Feichei waited in the corridor after the corner of the lobby.
Kinu Kawa Kazuki followed Sawada Hiroki and walked closer, looking up at Brother Ike in doubt, "Brother Ike?"
"Have you thought about what to do?" Chi Feichei asked, "Whether or not to say words to your Mother?"
A hesitant and tangled expression appeared on Kinu Kawa Kazuki's face, his brows furrowed tightly, "I... I..."
"Then, I'll tell you now, Minya and Uncle Odagiri's idea after discuss," Chi Feichei looked down at Kinu Kawa Kazuki, his voice very soft, "They asked me to come and see what kind of person your biological mother is. If she is a woman who only cares about personal gain and doesn't care about you at all, then no matter what your attitude is, I will directly take you away. But if the other party's character is not bad and she also feels sorry for you, she can come to the Odagiri residence to work, and the wage will be paid as usual. They are very busy, so in that case, there can also be someone who cares about you to take care of you and keep company with you. But you can only call her Miss Saegusa, Miss Wen Zi, or some other Miss, and she can only call you Young Master. Of course, you can also choose to agree or disagree, and even you decide whether to say to her or not..."
"Father and Brother Minya are very good to me. I came to find that woman just to see her, to see what kind of person my biological mother is, whether I am very annoying to her, I..." Kinu Kawa Kazuki hesitated for a moment, and looked at Chi Feichei seriously, "I don't know what to do, Brother Ike, what do you think?"
"I won't help you make this kind of decision that will attract grievances, but..." Chi Feichei turned his head to look towards the end of the aisle, hostess's room, his voice still soft and calm, "Full of grievances and resentment has been rooted in the depths of heart, don't know how to resolve it, and there is no way to resolve it. And whether it is to remember it for life and refuse to accept it, or to choose reconciliation for each other to be more relaxing..."
Chi Feichei suddenly paused, bent down and picked up Sawada Hiroki, "In short, you decide for oneself, and don't blame anyone in the future. But she seemed to be hesitating whether or not to leave. I just now saw her packing clothes, then putting them back in the wardrobe, and packing again... so repeatedly several times."
Kinu Kawa Kazuki was stunned for a moment, quickly ran into the aisle, pushed open the half-closed room door, frowned and roared at Saegusa who looked up at him in surprise in the room, "Do you still want to leave me again without a word?!"
Chi Feichei held Sawada Hiroki and turned the corner, looked at Mouri Ran and Conan hiding by the wall, and walked towards the dining room.
"Ah..." Mouri Ran was discovered eavesdropping, smiled awkwardly, picked up Conan who didn't want to leave yet and followed, "Brother Hissashi, they won't end up breaking up unhappily, right?"
"Never mind it," Chi Feichei said, "We go to eat breakfast."
"Yes..." Mouri Ran turned her head to looked, and followed into the dining room.
When breakfast was almost finished, Kinu Kawa Kazuki came back, wearing sunglasses, ate breakfast in silence, and then signed autographs for A Group of People who came to the hotel to ask for signatures.
Mitsu Kusano got the signature, smilingly hugged the notebook with the signature in her arms, and turned her head to call out to Saegusa who was call on the counter, "Hey, Saegusa, come and ask for a signature too!"
Saegusa whispered 'wait a moment' to the other end of the phone call, reached out and covered the receiver, then said to Mitsu Kusano, "Sorry... signature another day, I'm call to tell the Boss about resigning."
"Ah? You're leaving..."
"Yes..."
At two o'clock in the afternoon, Saegusa came to the platform with luggage to meet with Chi Feichei and A Group of People.
Mouri Ran, who was wondering, saw Miss Saegusa step forward, her eyes lit up, "Miss Saegusa? Could it be that you..."
"Yes, I want to go to the Odagiri residence to work, and this time it's just on the way," Saegusa saw Chi Feichei look towards, and bowed to A Group of People with a little nervousness, "Let me do a formal self-introduction, I am Saegusa Ikuri, this is my current name, formerly known as Wen Zi, please give me more guidance in the future."
"Please give us more guidance." Mouri Ran smiled and returned the bow.
"Okay, you don't need to be so nervous," Kinu Kawa Kazuki wore sunglasses, turned his head and saw the train at the station, and muttered in a low voice, "They are very good people..."
When they arrived in Tokyo, Mouri Ran took Conan home, and Chi Feichei took Kinu Kawa Kazuki and Saegusa Ikuri to the Odagiri residence to report.
Inspector Odagiri specially adjusted a day off to meet Saegusa Ikuri, and waited at home with Odagiri Toshiya, and had dinner together.
After dinner, Chi Feichei slipped away first with Sawada Hiroki.
It was also within his expectation that the Odagiri father and son would make this decision.
Last night before going to bed, he sent an email to notify Odagiri Toshiya about Saegusa's matter. When he called Odagiri Toshiya to confirm the next day morning, Odagiri Toshiya did not conceal that their father and son had used one night to investigate Saegusa Ikuri's matter.
Inspector Odagiri would not do anything that violates regulations, but just using favor to make a phone call to inquire is enough to investigate Saegusa Ikuri in general.
Miss Saegusa's character is fine. Overall, she is an upright and grateful person. Inspector Odagiri and his Son decided to ask Miss Saegusa whether or not she would like to come to the Odagiri residence to work.
It's better to guide than to block. Even if you prevent Kinu Kawa Kazuki from finding his biological mother now, you may not be able to stop him in the future. In ten or twenty years, when Kinu Kawa Kazuki gets marriage and has Children, will he feel that his Mother is a regret? Who can stop him at that time?
Rather than making things unpleasant and damaging affection because of this problem, it is better to choose acceptance.
In this way, Kinu Kawa Kazuki will be moved by the Odagiri father and son's understanding and heart for him, and his affection with them will be even better.
As for Saegusa Ikuri, being able to watch Child grow up was originally an unattainable dream, but now it can be realized because of the Odagiri father and son's generosity. Based on the personality that woman has shown in the past, she will probably be grateful and try her best to protect the Odagiri home.
Also, Inspector Odagiri's statement that Kinu Kawa Kazuki can only appellation 'Miss Saegusa' has already shown his attitude - the Child is now a member of the Odagiri Family, and will not let you take him back, but you can choose to companionship him to grow up.
Father and Son Odagiri are indeed busy and need someone who can wholeheartedly take care of Child's life and education Child's growth. Then, Saegusa Ikuri, as Kinu Kawa Kazuki's biological mother and with her own upright character, is the best choice.
Moreover, Inspector Odagiri, as the Chief of the Criminal Investigation Department, his family is easily targeted for retaliation by criminals, so he needs someone trustworthy enough to take care of the home.
If you don't know how to handle crisis now, you can learn, but you must be 'loyal'.
With Miss Saegusa's personality, under gratitude, the consideration and care for Odagiri Toshiya and his Son will not be worse than for Kinu Kawa Kazuki.
Even if the danger encountered is not Kinu Kawa Kazuki, but Odagiri Toshiya, Saegusa Ikuri will also stand in front.
Of course, the Odagiri father and son made this decision also based on three points: 'Miss Saegusa's character is good', 'affection with Kazuki is already stable', and 'there is no Hostess at home who will feel uncomfortable'. In this situation, choice reconciliation is the most beneficial decision for everyone.
And even if Kinu Kawa Kazuki or Saegusa Ikuri disagree, they have done their best.
