Chapter 1005: Disaster Lasts a Thousand Years
"Ding-a-ling, ding-a-ling... Ding-a-ling, ding-a-ling..."
Zhi Ming Fukuyama heard the Phone Ring coming from his Pocket. Coming back to his senses, he took out his Mobile Phone to look at it, stopped and spoke out, "Sorry, I suddenly have an Important Phone Call..."
"Then we'll head back first." Mouri Ran said with a smile.
"I'll take my leave first too."
Chi Feichei said a word to the others. Seeing that there weren't many Cars on the Road, he walked towards the Street Corner across the Street.
"Bye-bye! Doctor Niide, Brother Hichiji, see you another day!" Suzuki Sonoko waved her hand energetically.
Niide Tomoaki stayed in the Original Place. After waiting for the others to walk far away, he answered the Phone Call, "Hello, yes, this is Niide..."
On the other end of the Phone, Jodie stood at a Public Phone in the Hospital, inquired about today's Matters with Niide Tomoaki, and said with a smile, "Then congratulations to you, you integrated into the School without being suspected."
"It's still thanks to your Help, telling me everything that person pretending to be me did at School," Niide Tomoaki said.
"Then, this Phone Call with you will be the last time," Jodie said, "It would be a good thing if you could completely forget about me..."
After recovering, she probably wouldn't go back either.
"That... I still have one Matter to ask you," Niide Tomoaki hurriedly spoke out to stop Jodie from hanging up the Phone Call. After Saying that, he hesitated again, "That person pretending to be me... really..."
Today's experiences popped up in his mind again.
Chi Feichei sat beside the Desk, looking down at the Letter. Without even raising his Head, he Said, 'You are still like this, a pushover.'
Kuni Shigu turned his Head at the Infirmary Entrance, smiling and joking with him, '...Otherwise, the Doctor who likes to worry will grab me and take me to the Hospital!'
Kazumi Tsukamoto turned her Head and smiled, 'You are still such a pushover.'
The Principal of Teitan High School also thanked him with a smile, 'Thanks to the Health Exercise you taught me, my Waist has been much more comfortable recently...'
Also, just now Mouri Ran also Said, 'Doctor Niide is still so considerate of Others.'
Chi Feichei said that, probably Because the person impersonating him had Said Words similar to 'treat other people's Goodwill seriously'. Kuni Shigu said that, it should be Because in the past, there were Classmates who didn't go to the Hospital Because they were sick, and the person impersonating him forcibly dragged them there. That person shouldn't have done this kind of 'pushover' Matter for the First Time, so everyone would Say that.
He was able to integrate into everyone so well, seemingly Because that person made the Choice he would make, and also helped many people.
If it was just to impersonate him to do Bad Deeds, was it really necessary to do this?
Moreover, being able to Think of and know the Choices he would make, he felt that person couldn't be that Bad Person, right?
"Really..." Niide Tomoaki asked the Doubt in his Heart, "Is she a Bad Person?"
On the other end of the Phone, Jodie was stunned for a moment. The appearance of Belmode pointing a Gun at her popped up in her mind.
Niide Tomoaki explained softly, "After getting in touch with the people around her, I just can't imagine her being a Bad Person..."
"Idiot!" Jodie flared up, "How could someone who can Murder with a smile be a Good Person!"
"Beep... Beep..."
The Phone Call was directly hung up by Jodie.
Niide Tomoaki lowered his Head, looking at the 'Communication End' page on the Mobile Phone, speechless for a moment.
It was the First Time he had seen Jodie get so angry.
...
Beika Central Hospital, Corridor.
Jodie suspected that Niide Tomoaki's Personality was just too kind, and that there was a huge Problem with his ability to distinguish between Good and Bad People. After being angry for a while, she put the Receiver back, closed her Eyes, and calmed down.
Right, that Woman was just disguising, that's why she even imitated Niide Tomoaki's Personality thoroughly, what terrifying Skill...
It's just like that.
...
On the Street of Beika Town 1-chome, most of the Roadside Shops were already closed, only a 24-hour Convenience Store at the Street Corner was still open.
Chi Feichei stood on the Sidewalk, wearing a Baseball Cap pressed down low on his Head, and the Hat of his Windbreaker also blocked his Hair and most of his Face. He lowered his Eyes and quietly looked at the Car Lane in front.
The Road Surface was washed clean by the Rainwater, and a Puddle accumulated beside the Car Lane. The decorative colored Lights on the Signboard of the closed Shop reflected down, turning into colorful light clusters on the Road Surface.
There are many Good People in this World.
Wanting to take a Graduation Photo with a deceased Classmate, even if it's just Desk and Chair, it doesn't Matter. The whole Class pooled Money together to buy New Desks...
Because of Suspicion that a Good Friend was bullied and died, they racked their brains to create Haunted Rumor, wanting to find out that person to avenge their Friend...
They would feel Guilt for proposing to harm Classmates, and still couldn't forget it after two years...
They would also fabricate a Lie that doesn't exist at all in order to reduce the psychological burden on Others...
Then, in the more than ten years before the Original Consciousness met Zhi Ming Fukuyama, why didn't he run to Teitan High School?
As long as it was a little earlier, in Elementary School, in Middle School, or in High School, before the Original Consciousness completely fell into the Pitfall of despair, as long as there was once, that Fellow would probably be different, maybe he would get along very well with Conan and those people.
He himself is fine, he is originally a Person who despises Human Life, he is originally a Person who admires Self Strength and Self Faith more, and he Never expects Others to rescue him.
But listing the Matters in a Book, the Good Deeds done by the Original Consciousness are definitely more than the Bad Deeds. Even 'being naughty and making Girls cry', 'kicking a Ball and breaking a stranger's Glass', and 'pranks that hurt people' have never happened. Before completely losing Confidence, he was not so indifferent, and could be considered a Person who liked to protect the weak, and at the same time, it was difficult to resent and hate anyone.
Just thinking that there are also many pushovers in this World who are Murdered Because of misunderstandings, he didn't want to think about it anymore. Even if it was to pass the Time, he didn't want to waste it like this, it would be better to relax and Rest for a while.
Or Think about the old Saying, Good People don't live long...
Chi Feichei looked towards the Black Porsche 356A driving from the Street Corner, and silently completed the next Sentence in his Heart.
Disaster Lasts a Thousand Years.
Gin, this Disaster, is very self-aware of being a Disaster. He drove to the Puddle and didn't even slow down. With a 'splash', he drove past before slowly slowing down and stopping.
Chi Feichei retreated two steps in advance so that his Shoes and Pants were not splashed by the Puddle. After waiting for the Car to stop, he stepped forward to pull open the Car Door and got into the Car Backseat.
Gin felt a little Pity in his Heart, and drove the Car towards a Riverside with a wide Field of Vision.
It's not his fault, who told Raki not to stand in a good Place, but to stand beside the Puddle, and still be motionless like a Statue, making people want to try...
Chi Feichei pulled down the Hat of his Windbreaker Jacket, and didn't take off his Baseball Cap again, "How long has the Banquet over there been over?"
Tonight is considered an Action against target number 3.
It's not appropriate to Say it's an Action, Because only Yingqu Yan Nan went over, and it wasn't for Assassination. What should be done has already been done. Yingqu Yan Nan only needs to use the Pinhole Camera installed in the Car to follow and film the target until he confirms whether the Plan is successful or fails.
Target number 3 is a wealthy businessman whose family inherited a Steel Refinery from the previous generation, and later also dabbled in Catering and Hotel aspects.
The Organization didn't Aiming at this Person at the beginning to set a trap, but one night two years ago, this Fellow had a slight Intersection with the Organization Operation, and accidentally bumped into the Organization's Scope of Activity, and still as a drunk driving hit-and-run person, then don't blame the Organization for taking advantage of the Disaster after finding out the Details.
Afterwards, someone from the Organization contacted the other party several times, threatening the other party to do some Matters for the Organization, but this Person was originally used as a disposable pawn, and the Connection was not deep. Most of the Matters arranged to be done had irreparable hidden dangers, and it was easy to be investigated by the Police. When it was time to Clean Up at present, the Value was almost squeezed out, so naturally it was necessary to find an opportunity to Clean Up.
Time is not rushed, as long as you don't alarm the other party and let the other party run to the Police before a fatal blow.
Considering that the other party is not an unknown Person, Gun Murder is easy to cause social attention and make the Police increase their Investigation efforts. It is best to create an Accident or find a suitable scapegoat.
What he should do has already been done, just look at the results of Yingqu Yan Nan's follow-up feedback.
Success, Clean Up completed.
Failure, then the next Plan.
"It ended an Hour ago, and the target hasn't left the Hotel yet."
Gin Said, turning the Car around the Street Corner and driving forward to a Riverside with a wide Field of Vision, and stopped the Car.
Vodka put the Tablet in front, and said jokingly, "Oh? People are already out!"
On the displayed Scene, a Man in his forties with a wealthy figure walked out of the Hotel Main Gate with two Bodyguards, and the Driver who drove also drove the Car to the Entrance.
Gin lowered the Car Window and lit a Cigarette, "Raki, what's your Plan?"
"Judging from the Investigation Data and related News reports, he has a Problem. If he himself does something wrong and causes huge Loss, and someone points out with a mocking, critical, or tough Attitude that makes him dissatisfied, he will instead deliberately repeat the Mistake, wanting to prove that he did not choose wrongly, but only some minor Mistakes occurred in the execution Process."
Chi Feichei watched the Man walk to the Front of Car and talk to the Driver, calm and casual, unhurriedly, "Of course, in recent years, no Matter who pointed out his Problems, he could successfully find a successful breakthrough from the wrong Road, making the other party speechless. A total of 12 times, without exception. This has become his proudest Matter, and also makes him more stubborn than Ordinary Person."
"The Intelligence says that he hasn't driven after drinking since the hit-and-run two years ago, and he will also carry a Bottle containing Anti-Alcohol Drug and Vitamin Pills with him. In addition, he made a Reservation for a Physical Examination at Beika Central Hospital the Few Days Ago. The Time provided by the Intelligence is 4:50 PM..."
These were confirmed by the Birds that Feimo sent to Tracking.
Originally, it should have been him who went to Confirm, but he was busy building a Base for Nameless those two Days, so he let the Crows go.
There is a lot of Information confirmed by Tracking, from the style and placement Location of the Medicine Bottle, to the other party's walking habits, raising hand habits, etc.
"I happened to go to Beika Central Hospital that Day, so I changed my Face to the Physical Examination Floor. When I pretended to be a Doctor and passed by him, I replaced the Medicine in his Medicine Bottle with Cephalosporin Antibiotics."
"Yesterday night, I contacted him and proposed that he do a Matter that was very difficult for him. When he expressed that the Matter was difficult and his Mentality was dissatisfied, I said to him with a tough Attitude a Sentence similar to 'I don't care so much, who told you to drunk drive and escape two years ago and be discovered?'..."
"Tonight's Cocktail Party is very Important to him. He will definitely have Social Engagements and drink Liquor. As long as he remembers the Worries I caused him last night, he will probably repeat the Mistake of two years ago and drive alone to the Road he went to two years ago."
"And before repeating the Mistake, he will make more detailed Preparations."
"For Example, Rest for an Hour or two after drinking to make himself sober..."
"For Example..."
In the displayed Scene, the Man took out the cylindrical, exquisitely shaped special Medicine Bottle, took out two Medicines and took them, then waved to let the Driver get out of the Car, got into the Driver's Seat himself, and did not bring Bodyguards.
Chi Feichei didn't Say anymore, the other party had already explained everything with Action.
Actually, in addition to Personality weaknesses, he also Considered the other party's Attitude towards the Organization.
This Person's contact with the Organization is not deep. He has no Fear of the Organization, only Anger and unwillingness at being threatened and Extortion, and Fear of the escape Matter being exposed.
Then, under the Impact of that face-saving and recently repeatedly slapped-in-the-face Personality, hearing the sarcastic Tone he used last night to Say those Words, coupled with the dissatisfaction of being oppressed by the Organization in the past two years, it is very likely that he will make a 'repeat the previous Mistake' move.
It's like telling them: 'I'm not wrong, it's just that I wasn't careful enough at the Time. As long as I'm careful enough, I won't make Mistakes!'
But drunk driving is really wrong, playing with other people's lives, and also playing with one's own life.
