Chapter 268: Teacher, You're In Trouble
They drank lively for half an hour.
Mori Kogoro was drunk, leaning close to Duibing Lizi and rubbing against her, looking like a pervert. "If something happens to me, Lawyer Ritsuko, you have to defend me with that sweet voice of yours too!"
Chi Feichei silently took a sip of liquor.
You really shouldn't set Flags randomly, Teacher...
Duibing Lizi didn't mind at all and said with a smile, "You really like to joke, Mr. Mouri!"
Kisaki Eri's death Gaze had been staring for half a minute, seeing that it was completely useless.
"Father!" Mouri Ran couldn't stand it anymore and spoke out to remind him.
Mori Kogoro completely blocked out the outside world, laughing heartily and pulling Duibing Lizi's Hand. "Your Hand is so small, it's so cute!"
Haibara Ai had Black Lines on her Forehead. "Is he really okay like this?"
Chi Feichei was also a bit Speechless. No amount of Peanuts... no, Snack, could stop Mori Kogoro from getting this drunk.
The atmosphere was perfectly fine, but he made it seem like some weird Place.
"Teacher, pay a bit of attention, there are Children here," Chi Feichei reminded him. "And your Wife."
Mori Kogoro even blocked out Chi Feichei, still chatting heatedly with Duibing Lizi.
"Mr. Mouri, you're so annoying..."
"Not at all, I like Hands like yours the most~"
"I think he's completely forgotten who he is!" Kisaki Eri got Up with a dark Face. "Sorry, I'm going out for a bit first."
"Mother..." Mouri Ran quickly followed.
Conan hesitated for a moment, but still sat there without moving. Never Mind, let that mother and daughter talk. It was Better for him to watch this drunk Uncle.
"Where's the Restroom?" Haibara Ai Turned Head and asked Chi Feichei. She had been watching the Play without restraint and seemed to have drunk too much Juice...
"Seemingly Outside." Chi Feichei got Up and greeted Conan. "I'll Go To the Restroom with Ai and be right back."
"Okay~!" Conan responded cutely, glancing at Haibara Ai. He chuckled inwardly. This Fellow really thinks of herself as a Little Girl, huh? In the End, he was indeed the one left to guard Uncle Mori...
Chi Feichei went to find a Waitress, asked for the Location of the Restroom, and after searching for a while, found it at the Corner Outside the Door.
Haibara Ai went to the Restroom. After coming out, she took advantage of the quiet Surrounding Area and asked, "What's going on with your Parents? Is their Couple's Relationship completely broken, or are they just having a spat like that couple?"
Chi Feichei walked towards the Bar. "It's more Complex. If my Analysis is Correct, the Problem is still with me."
"You?" Haibara Ai thought it was Weird. "Can it be Solved?"
"I'll talk to them when I have Time," Chi Feichei said. "But when I called my Mother last night, the Secretary answered."
The Day before yesterday, he went to see Dino, and he did Call his cheap old mom, but it was the Same as before, he couldn't find the Lord.
Haibara Ai comforted him, "Perhaps she really has a lot of Matters to be busy with."
Chi Feichei didn't explain much. "The Secretary said she will Probably be back for a trip in two months. I'll talk to her Then."
Haibara Ai Nodded and Didn't Say Anything.
Chi Feichei glanced sideways and saw Haibara Ai Pondering with a Serious Face. He felt amused in his Heart. "It's not that Serious, it's not Because she dislikes me."
Haibara Ai felt a bit more Relaxation in her Heart. After a moment of Silence, she imitated Conan's tone, pretending to be a Child, and encouraged him, "Then when you meet, you must have a Good Talk."
Chi Feichei was Expressionless: "..."
Led astray, she was led astray by Conan!
Haibara Ai Acting Cute in a Child's Voice was too scary!
Haibara Ai: "..."
What kind of Reaction is this? Wrong, can't he give some Reaction?
She rarely pretended to be a Child, didn't it sound like one? Should she learn from Edogawa again?
Returning to the Bar, all the People who were drinking had Already left.
Kisaki Eri and Mouri Ran had returned and were waiting for Chi Feichei and Haibara Ai with Conan.
"Everyone else went back first," Conan explained to Chi Feichei again. "Uncle said he drank too much and went back to his Room to sleep first."
Chi Feichei Nodded. "Then let's go back too."
They went back to the Hotel, only to find that Mori Kogoro was missing.
Kisaki Eri had asked in the Rooms of the other three male Lawyers, and they all said they hadn't Seen Mori Kogoro.
Finally, it was Duibing Lizi's Room...
Haibara Ai watched Kisaki Eri go and knock on Duibing Lizi's Door, feeling so awkward her Scalp was Numbing. "That muddle-headed Uncle couldn't really have..."
"Then I support Teacher's Wife Hammering him." Chi Feichei said with an Indifference Face.
"Thank you for your support, I will Consider it!" Kisaki Eri Turned Head and Smiled.
The Room Door opened, and Duibing Lizi stood at the Entrance, her Expression full of Doubt. "Oh? Lawyer Fei?"
Kisaki Eri asked, "Sorry to bother you so late, but I was wondering if my Husband came here?"
"He didn't come here," Duibing Lizi opened the Door a bit more, Looked towards the Rear, but didn't Invite the A Group of People in. She Turned Around and said, "Did something happen?"
Mouri Ran felt a sense of Relaxation in her Heart. Thankfully, he wasn't here. Otherwise, she would also want to Hammer Mori Kogoro. She Stepped Forward to explain, "We can't find my Father. He's not in our Room, nor is he with anyone else..."
"Given his personality, he might have gone Outside to wander around now. He used to like going out for a walk when he drank," Kisaki Eri came back to her senses and said to Duibing Lizi, "Sorry to bother you, we'll go look Outside."
"Sorry for disturbing you." Mouri Ran bowed to Duibing Lizi.
Chi Feichei Looked at Duibing Lizi Once, Didn't Say Anything, and followed them.
After Duibing Lizi closed the Door, she Go To the Bedside and Looked at Mori Kogoro sleeping on the Bed.
She knew she could never compare to Kisaki Eri, so she would just pull Kisaki Eri down.
As Long As Kisaki Eri knew her Husband was having an affair with her, she wouldn't have the Intentions to focus on her Work anymore, and the Queen's Throne would be hers...
While she was watching, the Doorbell suddenly rang Again.
"Honestly, why are they back Again..." Duibing Lizi muttered softly, Turning Around to Open the Door.
Outside the Door, the one looking for her was the Criminal, Mr. Black.
...
On the other side, Kisaki Eri led the A Group of People and searched the Surrounding Area Outside the Hotel, the Rooftop, and the Stairwell. They searched until Midnight two o'clock but still couldn't find Mori Kogoro.
Finally, even the other three male Lawyers were alerted.
"Weird, he was on the Same Floor as Miss Duibing, so they went back together..." Yanze Xianzhao said.
"The only Place we haven't searched is her Place." Kisaki Eri was Thoughtful.
Haibara Ai Yawned. "That Uncle really knows how to cause Troubles for People All."
"Sorry, Ai, if you're sleepy, you can go to sleep first," Kisaki Eri said. "Conan too."
"No Need, Aunt, I'm not sleepy yet!" Conan quickly said.
"If we can't find him, I can't sleep peacefully either," Haibara Ai said calmly. "Let's find him first."
"Thank you!" Kisaki Eri Smiled, Feeling the heaviness in her Heart dissipate quite a bit.
The large Team arrived Outside Duibing Lizi's Room and knocked, but there was no answer.
Kisaki Eri Called Mori Kogoro's Phone, but found the Sound of the Phone Call ringing inside Duibing Lizi's Room.
"No way..." Mouri Ran was shocked.
Kisaki Eri Turned Head and said to Yuji Mikasa, "Lawyer Mikasa, sorry to trouble you, but could you please go to the Front Desk and get a Spare Key?"
"Okay." Yuji Mikasa responded and left.
The Waitress came up with the Spare Key and Opened the Door, but found that the Door's Security Chain was locked.
Kisaki Eri Looked inside Once, and her Face changed drastically.
Duibing Lizi Seemingly lay on the Ground beside the Bed. From the Door Seam, only Duibing Lizi's Face could be Seen. Her Pupils were contracted, her Face was stiff, and she didn't look like she was still alive at all.
"What's going on?" Zuoqiu Fashi Stepped Forward and Looked. His Face also changed instantly. "Wh- what? Isn't that Lawyer Duibing?"
Conan leaned in to See, his Expression turned Serious, and he Turned Head and said, "Waitress, quickly go get Forceps to cut the Chain Lock!"
"Get out of the way!" Zuoqiu Fashi Subconsciously retreated and directly rammed the Door. "There's no Time to wait for the Waitress!"
The Door was rammed Open. Kisaki Eri and Zuoqiu Fashi went Up to Inspect. Duibing Lizi no longer had a Pulse.
Mori Kogoro then crawled out from under the Quilt, saying groggily, "What's with all the noise? What are you guys doing?"
"Father?" Mouri Ran was shocked.
Kisaki Eri was also stunned. "Husband..."
"Huh?" Mori Kogoro Looked at the A Group of People standing by the Bed, Stunned.
"Teacher, you're in Trouble." Chi Feichei reminded him calmly.
After her surprise, Haibara Ai felt that it was impossible for Mori Kogoro to Murder anyone, and Subconsciously added a Sentence, "You're in Big Trouble..."
Conan: "..."
Hey, hey, these two are enough, it's those two sentences Again...
Mori Kogoro Yawned and got Up, preparing to get off the Bed. "I say, what exactly happened?"
"Uncle, don't step on that Place!" Conan reminded him, pointing to a Telephone Line that had fallen on the Ground. "I think the Telephone Line that fell there must be the Weapon!"
"Weapon?" Mori Kogoro quickly retracted his Foot.
"That's right, Look," Conan Turned Around and Looked at the Corpse. "Lawyer Duibing's Neck has thin marks from being strangled."
"Indeed," Zuoqiu Fashi leaned in to Look. "So the Murderer used a Telephone Line to strangle her to Death..."
Chi Feichei ignored the Corpse and Turned Head to examine the Room.
"Telephone Line? Murderer?" Mori Kogoro was still groggy. "Who?"
"Of Course it's you!" Yanze Xianzhao said. "Who else but you?"
Yuji Mikasa also questioned Mori Kogoro, "Why did you Murder her?"
"Please wait a moment! There must be some Misunderstanding in this, how could my Father Murder anyone?" Mouri Ran was anxious. "Right, Mama?"
"According to Article 199 of the Criminal Law, a Murderer shall be sentenced to Life Imprisonment or Fixed-Term Imprisonment of three years or more, Otherwise it's..." Kisaki Eri, who was squatting on the Ground, stood Up, pointed at Mori Kogoro, and said with a Serious Expression, "Death Penalty!"
Mori Kogoro was Suppressed by her Aura for a moment. "Wh... what?"
"Hey, Mama..." Mouri Ran was covered in sweat.
"Ran, what are you standing there for?" Kisaki Eri said to Mouri Ran. "Quickly Report to Police!"
"Based on the Situation at the Crime Scene," Chi Feichei calmly Gazed at Mori Kogoro. "Teacher Mori is Indeed the Prime Suspect."
Conan Looked at the Two People, was Speechless for a moment, and Turned Head to cast a Gaze of Sympathy towards Mori Kogoro.
Having a Wife with an explosive Aura, and also finding a Disciple Kuroki Jiro with an explosive Aura, may I ask, what was Uncle Mori thinking? Did he feel he wasn't being Suppressed enough?
But Then Again, Uncle's Trouble-making Ability when he's drunk is truly something no one can Suppress...
