"Conan was taken aback," Conan said, stunned, "So, you're saying Mr. Sugiyama isn't dead yet, but has just lost consciousness or had his movements restricted?"
"Uh-huh." Hissashi nodded.
Conan was flustered.
Still just saying 'Uh-huh'? Are you that calm?
We need to quickly find a way to find the Manager and save him!
"Let's go grab him!"
Genta, Mitsuhiko, and Ayumi were already running towards the Shop aggressively.
"We have to force him to tell us where he hid Mr. Sugiyama!"
"And," Ayumi added indignantly, "ask him why he would use Police Officer Takagi, such a good and pitiful person!"
"Hey! Wait up!" Conan quickly chased after them.
Some murderers are determined to kill, and even if you interrogate them, you won't get anything. It's better not to alert the suspect and find the person first.
Of course, he also needs to double-check, to confirm whether Jiro Hanazaki really intends to commit murder.
Ai followed, running out a couple of steps, then turned back to find Hissashi unhurriedly getting up and following, leaving her speechless.
Brother Hichiji is sometimes so calm it's scary.
In front of the BBQ Restaurant, Conan successfully stopped the three Children who were about to rush in, and quietly observed through the glass window of the BBQ Restaurant, his heart sinking.
In the Shop, Jiro Hanazaki had food grilling in front of him, but didn't eat any of it, instead constantly looking at the Clock hanging on the Wall.
"He keeps checking the Time," Conan said, "It seems Brother Ike was right, his estimated time of crime is indeed from one to three in the Afternoon, specifically choosing a Shop that's open for two hours, so the Time can be even more precise, his Method will probably cause Mr. Sugiyama's Death between two and two-thirty."
"Then what should we do now?" Ayumi turned her head worriedly, looking at Hissashi who had just caught up with them.
"Either grab him and torture him severely, but he might not talk," Hissashi said, "Or quickly go find his Residence, Mitsuhiko was right before, he should have put the Manager in his Bathroom."
"Okay!" Conan automatically ignored the 'torture him severely' option, taking it as Hissashi joking with them, and said to the three Children and Haibara Ai, "Then let's split up and search!"
"Uh-huh!"
Genta, Mitsuhiko, and Ayumi ran off full of energy.
Conan also moved quickly.
Haibara Ai was about to run when she suddenly stopped, turning her head to look at Hissashi who hadn't moved.
Hissashi observed Jiro Hanazaki in the Shop, and looked towards the crane operating in the Construction Site not far away, "There's sand on the side of the Slippers, near there."
Haibara Ai looked speechlessly at the direction Conan ran off in, "Let's go too, we can probably be one step faster than them."
She always felt that Conan's State today was a bit Offline.
Like Hissashi, observing Jiro Hanazaki for Clues before going to search will be much faster, right?
In the Park next to them, Wataru Takagi turned his head and found that everyone had left, feeling a little lost and aggrieved.
"Sigh... Even Mr. Chi and the Junior Detective League don't want to pay attention to me..."
...
"Are you still going to make Money tonight?"
"This Case shouldn't be delayed for too long."
"Have you confirmed the specific area to go to?"
"Earlier Conan saw you take out a Map, so we won't choose a Place that needs a Map, let's find a familiar Place... Let's go to the Shinagawa Station area."
"You're really guarding against him."
"His Curiosity is too strong."
"Also Correct, we should guard against him a little..."
Haibara Ai and Hissashi chatted about 'Making Money', and when they arrived near the Construction Site, they asked a nearby resident and confirmed the specific Location of Banzaki's Residence. Then, using the Detective Badge, she contacted the others, "We found it..."
More than ten minutes later, Conan ran up to the Apartment Building, panting heavily, and said to Hissashi who was waiting at the Entrance, "I know Banzaki's Murder Method! He went to the Ice Shop before to buy large Ice Cubes, and also picked up Bricks at the Construction Site, he should have tied up Mr. Sugiyama and put him in the Bathtub, then hung the Bricks above Mr. Sugiyama's Head, and tied the other end of the Rope to the Ice Cubes, when the Ice Cubes melt, the Bricks will fall down and hit Mr. Sugiyama to Death, afterwards, as long as he rolls Mr. Sugiyama's Corpse down the Staircase, it will make people think that Mr. Sugiyama was drunk and accidentally fell to his Death..."
Ayumi was also panting heavily beside him, "When we rushed over, Mitsuhiko and Genta had already gone to find Police Officer Takagi, they should be arriving soon too."
Haibara Ai went upstairs with a large bunch of Keys, "I asked the Landlord for a Spare Key."
Hissashi moved aside, letting Haibara Ai go open the Door.
Originally, he wanted to go get the Spare Key together, but Haibara Ai actually said that if he went along, the Landlord might not give them the Key.
Does he look that much like a bad person...
Also, even if they couldn't get the Key, what does it matter? Couldn't they just break down the Door by force?
"Conan, is it this room?" Wataru Takagi hurriedly followed Genta and Mitsuhiko upstairs, went straight into the Door, and ran towards the Living Room, then was pulled back.
Hissashi dragged Wataru Takagi to the Washroom and opened the Door.
Wataru Takagi saw Seiichi Sugiyama tied up in the Bathtub, stunned for a moment, then realized that the Ice Cubes had broken, and the Bricks hanging above were falling towards Seiichi Sugiyama, he quickly reached out and pulled Seiichi Sugiyama out in time.
Haibara Ai looked at Hissashi, "You've given him the opportunity to redeem himself."
Conan saw that the person was saved, breathed a sigh of relief, and couldn't help but chuckle dryly.
Hissashi's 'opportunity' was really given decisively, he directly dragged Wataru Takagi over... But it was very useful!
The good News is that Wataru Takagi's Police Handbook was picked up by Seiichi Sugiyama, Jiro Hanazaki just saw it and took advantage of this Matter.
The Police Handbook is still on Seiichi Sugiyama, and it was also returned to Wataru Takagi.
Wataru Takagi doesn't seem to need any opportunity to redeem himself anymore.
The bad News is...
An Hour later, Inspector Megure led a team to arrest Jiro Hanazaki at the BBQ Restaurant, looking at Wataru Takagi with Half-Moon Eyes, "Police Officer Takagi, I heard that you prevented a Murder Case from happening, is that right?"
"Ah, yes," Wataru Takagi hesitated, looking at Hissashi and the others, "But..."
"You've really worked hard, this is a great achievement," Inspector Megure said, clearly displeased, "But is your headache better now?"
"Huh?" Wataru Takagi was stunned.
"Didn't you say you had a Fever of 39 Degrees?" Inspector Megure stared at Wataru Takagi, walking closer step by step, "You also said that your stomach was constantly cramping, your legs were weak, you couldn't stand up, and just breathing could make you gasp for breath..."
Wataru Takagi broke out in a cold sweat, retreating step by step.
Aside, Ayumi whispered, "Police Officer Takagi pretended to be sick and asked for a day off to find the Police Handbook."
"It looks like it." Conan was also a bit speechless.
"Now there's no use in having an opportunity to redeem himself." Haibara Ai summarized succinctly.
"You bastard!" Inspector Megure was extremely angry, and started a stern roaring mode at Wataru Takagi, "How can a Police Officer pretend to be sick and ask for leave?! You come back to the Police Station with me right now!"
"Yes..." Wataru Takagi was so scared that his face stiffened, and he stood straight and saluted, "Yes!"
Inspector Megure turned around and got into the Police Car, closing the Car Door, "You run!"
"Yes..." Wataru Takagi watched the Car drive off, and quickly ran to follow, "Wait for me, Inspector Megure!"
Mitsuhiko withdrew his gaze, Police Officer Takagi was really too miserable, Brother Ike inviting him for Coffee beforehand as comfort was indeed the right thing to do.
...
The group dispersed and went back to their Homes.
Haibara Ai wasn't in a hurry to go back, and went for a drive with Hissashi.
Hissashi really found a Place he hadn't been to before, drove Haibara Ai for a drive and dinner, Disguised himself, found a Truck, and also helped Haibara Ai Disguise as a Little Girl with Short Hair.
Haibara Ai made a Phone Call to Doctor Agasa, saying that she would go to Hissashi's Place to play Horror Game tonight and try to clear the Game, gaining a night of Freedom.
Then, she spent the whole Night helping to Packaging Deliveries...
"He, three years one Robbery, a very persevering Bank Robber Boss..."
"He, three years one Robbery, a very persevering Bank Robber Member..."
Haibara Ai wore Gloves, threw the corresponding Printed Paper into the Cardboard Box, and took the Adhesive Tape Hoop handed over by Hissashi.
There were quite a few people in this wave, they caught four at once... Huh? Wait, the Adhesive Tape Hoop was handed over by Hissashi?
Hissashi helped hand over the Adhesive Tape with his Tail, sighing in his Heart.
Ai's action of sealing the box is getting more and more skilled, skilled enough to make a Snake feel sorry for her.
Such a small person staying up late to Work to make Money, it can only help hand over Adhesive Tape.
Haibara Ai looked at Hissashi, turned around to tear off the Adhesive Tape and seal the box, not forgetting to leave a few air holes, and then pasted the Printed Paper of Live Delivery.
Sigh, Hissashi's action of handing over Adhesive Tape is so skilled it makes people feel sorry for it, I Guess it has helped a lot...
Hissashi came back with a Woman in a coma, dragged her into the Car, and put her in a box, "Fraudster."
Haibara Ai flipped through the Printed Paper, and found that Hissashi had really prepared a Printed Paper that said 'Me, a Fraudster who swindles Elderly People, worth 500,000', threw it into the Cardboard Box, covered it on top of the Woman's Head, and asked curiously, "She's really a Fraudster?"
"She has repeatedly used false Information to swindle Money, mainly swindling Old Person who have Pensions, or Family members who have Accidents and received Compensation, she has been wandering around for about ten years, and has swindled almost more than 500 million Japanese Yen," Hissashi explained, throwing a Voice Recorder into the Cardboard Box, "This time her other Accomplice are not here, Police interrogation should be able to find out."
He didn't know where the Accomplice went either, anyway, the Crows only locked onto this Woman.
The process of locking on was also very special.
After this Woman wandered to Tokyo, she lived alone in a Residential Building. One day, she suddenly saw Crows staying On the Tree Outside the window, probably had a moment of brainlessness, and threw a Drink Bottle to hit the Crow out of cheapness, and then she was unlucky.
That Crow called its Companions, originally wanting to Stare and find an Opportunity for Retaliation, and discovered that this Woman was contacting her Accomplice, going out to scout and inquire about Information, and contacting an Old Person who had received Compensation.
A Group of Birds decisively reported it, and Feimo arranged for a Voice Recorder to collect evidence.
Recording evidence was necessary, because so far, the Police had not obtained a Photo of this Woman, only some Testimony descriptions, and the Appearance in the descriptions were all Disguises, and according to the Testimony, they couldn't catch anyone at all.
Haibara Ai looked at the Woman with long Hair, slender figure, and honest Appearance for the last time, and helped to seal the box, "What about those four Bank Robber? Why do you say they are very persevering?"
She really liked this kind of Night, leisurely sealing boxes while listening to Hissashi tell Stories of a Group of strangers.
Even though most of these Stories are about Crime, you will always encounter some special People, making people Sigh at the vastness of the World and the strangeness of everything.
"Those four People are from different Places, but they insist on one Robbery every three years, and every October of every three years they will gather together and randomly choose a region to commit a crime," Hissashi said, "They have committed a total of four crimes, the second crime was in Hokkaido, heavy Snow blocked the Road, there were not many People in the Bank, but they still persevered, the third crime was uneventful, but the fourth crime, which was three years ago, the Location was in Kumamoto, and as a result, they encountered a Celebration Parade, the Road section where the Bank they robbed was located did not allow Car traffic..."
(End of Chapter)
Chapter 607: The Sense of Ritual Regarding Home Delivery Packaging
"Then how did they take the money they robbed away?" Haibara Ai helped seal the box with adhesive tape.
"Manpower," Chi Feichei said, "According to the Police's Investigation Result afterwards, the bank was closed for service that day, and only On-duty Staff were there. One of them guarded the hostages, and the Driver and the remaining two put on Festival Masks, took a Path, and used different models, colors, and Styles of handbags to transport the money to the Car parked in Another Area in batches."
Haibara Ai: "..."
Truly 'perseverance' that makes people not know what to say...
After packaging the Paper Box, Chi Feichei jumped out of the Truck Bed, put Haibara Ai down, and locked the Car Door, suddenly having the Illusion that he was dragging his Family to work.
"Is there any Home Delivery next?" After being put down, Haibara Ai took out her Mobile Phone and Looked at the Time, "It's already 4 AM, probably can run one last trip, and then we have to send the Things to the Metropolitan Police Department before dawn, right?"
"Yes, the last trip," Chi Feichei walked to the Truck Driver's Seat, "This time it's not Live Delivery."
For the Wanted Criminals on the Bounty Board, as long as the Statute of Limitations hasn't expired and the person hasn't been caught, they can be caught at any time. He usually sends them directly to the Metropolitan Police Department.
The Police of the Metropolitan Police Department can directly take them in for questioning and Investigation, without having to transfer people from the Police Department.
As for the Live Delivery that needs to be sent to the Police Department, most of them are people contacted privately by liaisons, designated people.
They may be Special Agents, or Criminals who are temporarily inconvenient to publicly arrest. The timeliness is very strong. If he doesn't catch them in those two days after receiving the News, he doesn't need to bother anymore.
When Public Security frees up manpower, they will arrange for people to secretly arrest them. Issuing a Bounty is just because they are temporarily not free and need him to assist in the arrest.
And the Home Delivery sent to the Police Department is more often Documents and Materials, helping to Search for Evidence of Crime of some Important figures, or conducting some shady Investigations.
This time, it was to let him go to a certain Big Company to steal their recent Funds flow, Account Flow... No, saying steal is too harsh, it should be said Investigation, and by the way, help Backup.
Haibara Ai sat in the passenger seat, and after listening to Chi Feichei, she had a Speculation in her Heart, "Is it related to Overseas spies?"
"Maybe," Chi Feichei explained while driving, "It may also be colluding with Politicians or other powerful figures, But, no matter what their Purpose is, we just need to complete the Bounty and get the Money, don't ask too much, don't Investigation, control Curiosity, this is the industry rule."
"Industry rule..." Haibara Ai recalled, and found that Chi Feichei really didn't have much Curiosity, and didn't know if it was for this Reason.
Arriving near that Company, Chi Feichei parked the Car Roadside, and pulled up his Outerwear Hood, "Wait for me in the Car, I need to copy Data, it will take about an Hour, lock the Car Door yourself."
Haibara Ai Nodded, Looked Towards the Security Room with the Light on Roadside in front, and the beams of light flashing through the Glass between the Buildings, "Be Careful, there are many On Duty and patrolling people, and there seem to be many Surveillance Cameras too."
"Small Problem." Chi Feichei got out of the Car, and after closing the Car Door, he patted his collar, signaling Hissashi to work.
"Okay, okay, I'm ready," Hissashi immediately cheered up, without sticking his Head out, still hiding under his collar, "Get a little closer... Okay, pause for a while, there are two Surveillance Cameras at the main Entrance, and another one outside the Window of the First Floor Corridor."
Sawada Hiroki's voice sounded faintly from the Mobile Phone again, "Godfather, give me some Time, I can help you Infiltration and cut off Surveillance."
"Noah, leave me some Joy, go to sleep." Chi Feichei moved in the dim Corner, approached the Security Room, then accelerated, stepped on the Wall, Grabbed the Window, grabbed the Window edge with one Hand, and took the Lockpicking Tool to Open the Lock inside the Window with the other Hand. After lightly Opening the Window, he flipped into the Second Floor Corridor above the Security Room.
"I don't need to sleep..." Sawada Hiroki muttered in a low voice, and seeing Chi Feichei Infiltration the Building, he stopped talking and left along the Internet.
Haibara Ai stayed in the Car, and after Chi Feichei's figure disappeared from Line of Sight, she took out her Mobile Phone to Look at the Time and went online to browse the Forum.
Sawada Hiroki attached himself to the Website, Infiltration Haibara Ai's Mobile Phone, Opened the Camera to Look, and silently tampered with the sorting of Forum Posts.
'Everyone, my nephew is older than me, I feel very Uncomfortable at Home, he keeps arguing with me, what should I do...'
'Having an aunt who is younger than me, I especially like to bully her...'
Haibara Ai: "..."
Is this a pharmaceutical Forum?
When did it become a Family Conflict exchange Forum?
Also, are you sure these two posters are not aunt and nephew?
Looking further down, there are still a bunch of Family Conflict Posts.
'I have to take care of my Daughter, and also take care of my aunt...'
'When a person's Age and seniority do not match, it is easy to cause the following Worries and Family Conflicts...'
'How awkward it is for elders to be younger than oneself...'
Haibara Ai: "..."
What's the Situation? Has the Forum changed?
Sawada Hiroki was considering whether to flip two Posts about Family disputes and Murder Cases over.
He was very clear that the Matter was a foregone conclusion, but he was idle anyway, if he could scare this Little Girl a little, and let the Little Girl take the initiative to raise concerns, maybe Godfather and the others would change their minds?
But pushing this to a Little Girl sitting alone in a Truck Car late at night is not kind.
Others are nothing, he doesn't care so much, but this is after all the person Godfather treats as his Younger Sister, and she looks beautiful and cute. If he changes her seniority, and makes her his Younger Sister, he would also be very happy, he can't scare her.
Before Sawada Hiroki finished struggling, Haibara Ai had already exited the Forum and went to Search for News.
Keywords: 'Drug manufacturing', 'aunt and nephew Family disputes'.
Sawada Hiroki was in high spirits, could it be effective?
Haibara Ai silently flipped through the News Report.
Suddenly so many people on the pharmaceutical Forum are discussing Family Problems, something Big Deal must have happened, such as something happened to a well-known Drug researcher's Home, so everyone is discussing it so enthusiastically... This idea is okay.
There are really related Reports online, an expert from a pharmaceutical factory, because he couldn't stand his aunt who was just loafing around and greedy, wanted to make his aunt die slowly, and also hoped that the Autopsy would not find anything, so he tried to R&D a Medicine himself, secretly added it to his aunt's Diet, for more than a month, that is, at the end of last year, he finally made his aunt's Heart disease become failure and Death, However, in the end, it was still Investigated and was arrested by the Police.
It just so happened that the aunt was younger than the expert.
What's even more coincidental is that Kudo Shinichi solved the Case.
Haibara Ai carefully read two related Reports, thought for a while, and Opened the Forum again, and clicked Post.
According to some onset Details, speculate on the Drug researcher's Medicine-making ideas, and speculate on the ingredients used...
According to those ingredients, Consider replacing or Adjusting the ratio, whether it can strengthen the Medication Effect, or lead to a more Natural Death...
Also, whether it can provide some Help for the R&D of other Medications based on some ingredients and R&D ideas of this Medication...
Sawada Hiroki: "..."
Accelerate Death Time? Conventional Autopsy Procedure? About how to avoid Autopsy Result being unnatural Death? Further processing of the Corpse afterwards?
This... the Pace is a bit wrong.
Haibara Ai typed a lot, and found that the number of Characters exceeded the Post limit, copied the typed Characters to the Notebook, did not Post, and stretched.
Anyway, being idle is also being idle, it's good to activate Thought... Comfortable.
Sawada Hiroki pondered for a while, as expected of the person his Godfather is Optimistic View of, it seems that scaring trick is useless, he has to think about whether there are other Methods...
Haibara Ai Looked at the Time, and Looked up at the Building in front.
It's been almost an Hour, Brother Hichiji should be back, right?
Not long after, Chi Feichei returned to the Front of Car of the Truck, but he detoured to the Alley Behind the Building and came out from Another Alley Entrance.
After Chi Feichei got into the Car, Haibara Ai put away her Mobile Phone and asked, "Was it smooth?"
"Got it." Chi Feichei handed a Disk to Haibara Ai, "Valuable Numbers."
It was expected to be fifteen Bounties, and he had prepared the Printed Paper, but in the end only nine were completed. Preparing more is a precaution. See which Bounty is convenient, and go for whichever Bounty you want. After the end, burn the remaining Printed Paper.
Haibara Ai took the Disk, found Foam Plastic Paper to seal it, flipped through the Printed Paper, and flipped out a Printed Paper that said 'This Is a pile of valuable Numbers, please keep it properly', stuck it on the Plastic Paper, and took a Paper Box from behind, put the Disk in it, and sealed it with Adhesive Tape, "What about the Box? Which one should I stick on?"
Chi Feichei drove towards the Police Department without turning his Head back, "The one that says 'Do not pile heavy Things on it'."
Haibara Ai Nodded, flipped out the Printed Paper, and stuck it on with Adhesive Tape.
This Home Delivery really cannot pile heavy Things on it, the Disk will be crushed.
She suddenly understood a little what Chi Feichei meant by 'sense of ritual'.
She doesn't know if there is a sense of ritual in unpacking Home Delivery. Usually, for the Home Delivery she receives, she knows what's inside, and there is no Surprise or sense of ritual at all when unpacking, but she feels that packaging is indeed very ritualistic.
First of all, when handling these high-priced Home Deliveries, the Documents have to find a suitable Box, and put them in after sorting, which looks neat and comfortable; the Disk has to find Things to wrap, so as to avoid the Disk being scratched on both sides and affecting the content reading, use the smallest size flat Paper Box, which can be placed very nicely; Live Delivery, to avoid the Home Delivery from running out, the Home Delivery received at the beginning should be covered with a small Handkerchief with Hypnotic Drug on the Face to make the Home Delivery sleep obediently. At the same time, the Rope for binding must also be handled well. If it is too short, the binding is too tight like strangling fat, if it is too long, it is procrastinating and not good-looking. The Rope should be segmented, and several more Knots should be tied to avoid the Home Delivery from running away after the Rope is cut off, and the Knot should not be too big, and remember to leave Air Holes.
Then, it is the Information of the Cargo put in. Because the Home Delivery they send is special, the Information cannot be written on the Box, so as to avoid the Home Delivery being 'stolen', and the Printed Paper with the Information written on it can only be placed together with the Cargo. The Information written by Brother Hichiji is particularly interesting.
After that, the Packaging is also very particular. Brother Hichiji has always pasted it straight and neatly, and the two sides of the Box are completely symmetrical. She was a little crooked when she first pasted Adhesive Tape, but now she can do it too. It looks pleasing to the Eye and comfortable.
Finally, it is the 'Warm Reminder' pasted on the Box, such as 'No Violence to Open Box' for Live Delivery, to avoid the Live Delivery inside from being injured, and there are corresponding Hints for Dangerous Home Delivery and Important Home Delivery, which is another thoughtful operation, and this Paper should be pasted in a conspicuous Place.
Paper and Adhesive Tape are pasted neatly, and the Cargo is classified and placed properly... This set of Procedures is too ritualistic!
Haibara Ai Looked at the Cheetah Home Delivery Cardboard Box she had sealed, confirmed that the Paper was pasted straight and the Adhesive Tape was not crooked at all, and suddenly felt very satisfied.
This is not only Home Delivery, but also Faith!
(End of Chapter)
Chapter 608: Sense of Ritual for Unpacking Home Delivery
Having arrived in the Vicinity of the Police Department, Chi Feichei didn't drive further, parking the Car at an Alley Entrance.
"Ai, wait for me here, I'm going to deliver the Goods."
"Okay." Haibara Ai handed the Home Delivery Service for the Police Department to Chi Feichei.
Three Home Delivery Service packages, one Document, one Key, and one Disk, all packed in corresponding Paper Boxes.
Due to their small size, they hadn't been placed in the Truck Compartment earlier, but were kept by Haibara Ai's side.
Chi Feichei got out of the Car with the Home Delivery Service packages, adding, "The Disk is very important, I'll Help deliver it inside."
Haibara Ai was a little surprised. It seemed the Data in that Disk was really important, probably involving Matters that even Public Security couldn't Solve. "Is it okay to deliver it to the Police Department? If Infiltration is discovered, it will be Troublesome, right?"
"Don't Worry, the contact person's Office is considered to be on the periphery. I'll be quick, deliver it and come right out, nothing will happen." After Saying this, Chi Feichei closed the Car Door, pulled his Hat down a bit lower, and walked towards the Police Department.
There weren't many Cameras outside the Police Department facing the Road, but strict Surveillance was Set Up at every Exit. It wouldn't be easy to get in without being seen by the Cameras.
Going deeper inside, there were also Alarm Systems and various Detection Systems, as well as people on duty. Without Preparation, Infiltration would be impossible.
Fortunately, he was only going to an Office on the periphery, Just Like he had infiltrated the periphery of MI6 before. It was a bit of a Test of Skill and Observation Skill, but not a big Problem.
Chi Feichei went all the way in and found an Office, Lock Picking, entered the Door, and placed the Home Delivery Service packages on the Office Desk.
Important Data would definitely not be placed on the Office Desk after people left, so the Office Desk was very tidy, with only a Calendar and Office supplies such as a Ballpoint Pen.
Jin Yuansheng…
Chi Feichei Saw the small Characters engraved on a Pen, and finally knew the Name of the contact person who would bother him with Emails whenever he had free time and had been responsible for contacting him.
However, was the Graffiti on the Calendar serious?
This Calendar was probably a Souvenir issued uniformly, with no Schedule written on it.
As Public Security, it was also impossible to mark the Schedule in such an obvious Place, otherwise, once someone grasped their Whereabouts, it might lead to the failure of a certain Task or themselves being ambushed and endangered, but it wasn't very tidy either, with Weird Graffiti.
On it were two Stick Figure, one of whom was holding a Submachine Gun and aiming at the other to shoot, even the Bullet flying out was drawn with small Points. The other person was shot and bent backwards at the Waist, and next to it was a Sentence: Shoot July one hundred times!
After Chi Feichei put down the Home Delivery Service packages, he couldn't help but pick up the Calendar and flip forward.
He was wearing Gloves, Disguise with a Wig, and also a Hat, so he wasn't worried about leaving any Trace. He wanted to See if there was anything else.
The previous pages were all drawn with Simple Sketch.
One person swinging a Sledgehammer to hammer another person, with the words next to it: Hammer July one hundred times!
A person driving a Car and hitting another person, with the words next to it: Hit and fly July one hundred times!
One person stabbing a Little Person Figure with Needles, another person next to it falling to the Ground, Eyes were XX, looking like their soul had returned to the west, with the words next to it: Curse July!
One person holding a Whip and whipping another person, with the words next to it: Lazy July who doesn't deliver Home Delivery Service should be whipped!
One person being hung on a high building, another person standing beside them with hands on hips, with the words next to it: Sanction July!
…
Chi Feichei flipped through it, Black Lines on Forehead.
He remembered not Offend his contact person, right?
This was almost drawing his one hundred and eight ways to die.
Whipping, Shooting, hitting and flying… let's not talk about these, and most of them were marked 'one hundred times', it was a bit Excessive.
Calm down, I am in the Service Industry, I am in the Service Industry…
Chi Feichei silently recited it several times in his Heart, and finally chose to understand and leave, but before leaving, he used a Ballpoint Pen on a page in the back that hadn't been drawn on, leaving a pile of Simple Sketch:
One person holding a Pill the size of a Fist, pointing at another person, Expression Serious.
One person using a Pill to poke another person's Head.
One person stuffing a Pill into another person's Mouth.
One person sitting at a Table unpacking a large Cardboard Box of Home Delivery Service, inside was a large pile of Pills.
One person smashing a pile of Pills onto another person's Face.
One person sitting at the Dining Table, the Plate and Bowl on the Table were all full of Pills.
…
Eight o'clock in the morning.
Jin Yuansheng walked into the Office with a Document, preparing to handle the Affairs that hadn't been handled yesterday.
Before he came, he went to the Express Delivery Storage Point Outside to Check, and it was another day without Home Delivery Service.
He felt that July had been seriously Sloth Recently, even if not Sloth, he Guess he was chasing after the Killer Code Name 'Spider'.
How long has it been since there was Home… Delivery Service…?
On the Office Desk, three Leopard Express Paper Boxes were neatly stacked, automatically highlighted in Jin Yuansheng's Eyes.
Impossible, he hadn't even received a Delivery Notification Email…
But he hadn't ordered any Home Delivery Service Recently, and the other party could deliver the Home Delivery Service to his Office without him knowing, it seemed to be only July.
Jin Yuansheng Stepped Forward while freeing up his Right Hand to take out his Mobile Phone to Check his Email, Confirm that he had indeed not received a Delivery Notification Email, and also Look at the Printed Paper pasted on the Box, Confirm that it was July's Home Delivery Service…
Turn Around, walk back, and close the Door.
When closing the Door, Jin Yuansheng also Saw the Lock Picking marks on the Door Lock, but didn't Care much, returned to the Office Desk and sat down, put the Document aside, and took out a delicate Paper Cutter from the Drawer.
Finally, there was July's Home Delivery Service again, not Easy.
Let him See, what Good Stuff was there this time.
First of all, he had to See the 'Warm Reminder'.
'Prohibited from stacking Heavy Object on top', was it fragile?
But there was no 'Handle with care', it didn't seem very fragile either…
Jin Yuansheng recalled the Bounty Commission he had sent to July during this Time, Speculation about what was in the Home Delivery Service, and used a Paper Cutter to cut open the Adhesive Tape along the Crack of the Paper Box.
Secondly, the action of cutting should be gentle, so as not to damage the Things inside, and unpacking Home Delivery Service must have a Sense of Ritual.
Look at this Adhesive Tape that was pasted flat and symmetrically, how could he roughly open the Box and destroy the beauty?
Gain a tightly packaged Disk.
Then, reading the Printed Paper inside, he could basically Guess what this was.
Project Details of a certain Company!
This was something only he, the contact person responsible for issuing Bounty, could Guess.
Afterwards, he had to carefully Tear Off the Printed Paper pasted on the Box, and put it together with the Printed Paper in the Box, and put it in the Archive Room together with the previous Printed Paper for storage, Convenient for Analysis of July's Behavior Pattern and Personality.
Finally, it was inspection and verification, preparing for the Time to Transfer money.
After spending an Hour, Jin Yuansheng verified the three Home Delivery Service packages, picked up the Printed Paper and the Things inside, preparing to put what should be put in the Database into the Database, and transfer what should be transferred to other Departments to other Departments, and then discovered that his Calendar had been moved.

He almost forgot that during this Time of waiting for Home Delivery Service, he had Resentment, and Seemingly drew some Simple Sketch.
July delivered Home Delivery Service to his Office, wouldn't he have Saw it?
Picking up the Calendar, and flipping through it, Jin Yuansheng suddenly felt sad.
Crap, he was really Saw by July, and also drew a lot of Drawings in the back.
July wouldn't Misunderstanding him, right…
…
"It is confirmed that July's Home Delivery Service has been received, one of which is the Project Information We want, but Mr. Kinyuan's Mental State is not very good today…"
At noon, Kazami Yuya and Amuro Toru secretly sat in a Restaurant Corner for lunch, By the Way talking about the Situation.
Amuro Toru was a little surprised, raised his Eyes to Look at Kazami Yuya sitting opposite him, "Received Home Delivery Service, and his Mood is still not good?"
Not receiving Home Delivery Service, Jin Yuansheng's Mood was not good, receiving Home Delivery Service, Jin Yuansheng's Mood was also not good… another one who doesn't let people Worry.
"July Probably discovered that that Data was very Important, this time he didn't put the Home Delivery Service at the Express Delivery Storage Point, but delivered it directly to Mr. Kinyuan's Office…" Kazami Yuya's Expression was Weird for a moment, and he tried hard to hold back his laughter, he couldn't laugh, he was Public Security, he was Public Security who had undergone Professional Training, although the Environment here was not Formal, but this was a very Formal report for him, he must not laugh, "Do you remember the Calendar issued some Time ago?"
Amuro Toru Nod, eating while Lower Head, listening.
Calendars issued in batches, many people had them, but he couldn't expose his Identity as Public Security, so he threw it casually in the Office.
In Fact, many Public Security would not expose their Identity to the Outside, let alone people from their Zero Group.
He completely didn't Understand what the higher-ups were issuing this for.
Probably Guess they would just put it in the Office, wanting to make the Office look a bit unified in characteristics?
"Mr. Kinyuan put the Calendar on the Table, and put it there for a few Days. Probably because he was waiting for Home Delivery Service and his Mood was not very good, every day when he went to Work, he would first draw and write on the Calendar, Curse July," Kazami Yuya kept a straight Face, Serious Face, held back, not laughing, "This time July delivered Home Delivery Service over, and Saw it…"
Amuro Toru felt happy in his Heart, ate while Lower Head, his Face still Calm, "What was July's Reaction?"
Oh, he really wanted to know what the Advisor's Reaction was when he Saw himself being cursed Behind his back.
"July left Drawings on the Calendar, the Calendar will be put into the Archive Room, and at the Same Time, in order to Convenient our Investigation, Mr. Kinyuan handed it over to me. When I go back to Work in the Afternoon, I have to go to Copy Backup," Kazami Yuya Saw that no one nearby was paying attention, took out a Calendar from his arms, put it on the Table and Hand Over To the opposite side, and said in a low voice, "It's a Pity that July didn't leave any Characters, otherwise We could also Record July's Handwriting, Convenient for Investigation of Identity."
Amuro Toru casually flipped open the Calendar, and laughed when he Saw the Simple Sketch of whipping July, "Pfft!"
Kazami Yuya raised his Eyes, Saw Amuro Toru laughing so happily, the corner of his Mouth twitched slightly.
This was a very Serious report, he had held back his laughter, how could Mr. Furuya take the lead in not being Serious? Excessive!
Amuro Toru ate while Looking, laughing non-stop.
"Kazami, I Think Mr. Kinyuan's Drawings are quite good, July should be whipped…"
"Hitting and flying one hundred times is also not bad, next time let him draw hitting and flying one thousand times…"
He also had considerable Resentment towards a certain Advisor who let himself go and didn't take the initiative to contact him when nothing was wrong, Seeing these Simple Sketch really made him feel Mood Relaxation…
"July's Drawings are also not bad…" Amuro Toru continued to Look at the Simple Sketch of feeding Medicine Pills drawn by Chi Feichei, continuing to gloat.
"Cough," Kazami Yuya couldn't help but cough dryly, reminded in a Formal tone, "Mr. Furuya, I am reporting Work."
"Ah, sorry," Amuro Toru raised his Head, his Eyes curved with laughter, "General I won't laugh, But Since We are Outside, then Relax a Bit, don't be too Restrained."
Yes, he was Professional, General he wouldn't laugh, unless he couldn't help it!
(End of Chapter)
Chapter 609 What's the matter with finding your Old Dad?
Kazami Yuya was speechless. Mr. Furuya thought that if he smiled nicely and found a reason, he would... Never mind, let him laugh.
"What Mr. Kinyuan is worried about now is whether July will misunderstand him and then be unwilling to accept the Bounty from the National Police Agency."
"Don't Worry," Amuro Toru said, looking down and flipping through the Calendar, still amused, "He left the Home Delivery Service, only leaving the drawing, which shows he's not really angry."
"Then this drawing... could it have some hidden meaning?" Kazami Yuya speculated. He had seen these drawings, and they weren't as obvious as Jin Yuansheng's. It was just a Little Person Figure holding a Pill and throwing it at another Little Person Figure. Compared to Jin Yuansheng's drawings, it didn't seem to have such strong hostility. "Is it expressing dissatisfaction?"
"Of course," Amuro Toru said, having laughed enough, and looked at Kazami Yuya strangely. "It's definitely expressing dissatisfaction. Is it necessary to ask? As for the meaning... it should be saying to Mr. Kinyuan: You should Take Medicine."
When they played Game together, if Magical Girl occasionally proposed some extremely exaggerated and unreliable Idea, Advisor would Say: You should Take Medicine. Be good, open your mouth and Take Medicine.
As for the specific meaning, Chi Feichei had also explained it. Seeing in the Simple Sketch, one person shoving a Pill into another person's mouth, and another person throwing a Pill to smash another Little Person Figure, he immediately Realized.
"Take Medicine?" Kazami Yuya didn't Realize, "Is Mr. Kinyuan sick?"
Amuro Toru explained in detail again, "July is saying, you Psychopath, you are seriously ill, you should Take Medicine."
So harsh? Kazami Yuya Looked at the drawing on the Calendar, which was the one about shoving Medicine into the mouth, and felt it really did have that kind of meaning. "July is really... subtle. Only you can understand it. Mr. Kinyuan researched all morning today, and asked me to bring the Calendar out, also wanting to ask you Whether or Not you could see something."
Such subtle mockery, Mr. Furuya actually understood it after seeing it, amazing! This is the gap between them... This won't do. He needs to make more effort in the future.
Amuro Toru couldn't say that he knew that guy July. He had heard these words from The Person Themselves and only then Realized it.
He also felt that Jin Yuansheng should Take Medicine, not because of the Simple Sketch cursing July, but because he felt that Jin Yuansheng was overly obsessed with Home Delivery Service and really needed to Adjust his Psychological State.
"Kazami, when you backup, remember to copy an extra one, send it to my Office, and put it in the first Drawer on the right-hand side of the Desk, that will be fine."
"Okay, Mr. Furuya!"
"Hard work."
Amuro Toru continued to eat. Retorted too well, must collect it.
... Afternoon two o'clock.
When Chi Feichei woke up, he discovered Hissashi was still nestled beside him on the Pillow, sleeping soundly. He sat up, picked up his Mobile Phone, and checked his Account.
A total of 8.7 million Japanese Yen was received, and 1 million was transferred to Haibara Ai.
Even in Japanese Yen, last night's Gain wasn't small. If it weren't for Feimo's Intelligence Network, he really wouldn't have been able to lock down those Criminals in a short Time.
Afterwards, there was the Phone Call he received in the morning, made by Isobe Nagisa. He was sleepy at that time, answered it, said a word, and hung up. He still needed to return a Phone Call.
The Phone Call rang for a while before it was answered.
As soon as Isobe Nagisa answered the Phone Call, she started teasing, "Old Dad, you're awake? You still need to be more restrained in the future, it's bad for your Body~"
Chi Feichei wasn't stimulated by the appellation 'Old Dad', nor did he respond to the playful Tone of 'restrained', "I know, Child, what's the matter with you finding your Old Dad?"
This time it was Isobe Nagisa's turn to be speechless. After being depressed for a moment, she said, "You actually respond when I call you?"
"I don't suffer a loss." Chi Feichei said.
Isobe Nagisa became even more depressed. Listening to that calm Tone, it really made people feel no Joy in joking at all. "I say, can't you Joke?"
Chi Feichei thought for a moment, "Probably can."
Isobe Nagisa really wanted to express 'disbelief', but she still said the Serious Business first, "Okay, I just want to tell you, I submitted my Resignation."
"Why?" Chi Feichei was a bit surprised.
There is a characteristic in the Japanese Workplace. If two people have similar Ability, Promotion is mostly sorted by Seniority. In other words, the longer you stay in a Business, the easier it is to get Promotion.
And in a Business, 'Senior' employees can suffer less, while 'Junior' employees will have a harder time. Many Odd Jobs are done by newly hired Newcomers.
So generally speaking, the Probability of Employee Job-hopping and Resignation is very low. Many people will stay in a Business for a Lifetime.
Isobe Nagisa had stayed in her previous Workplace for nearly ten years, and was somewhat considered a Senior in the Company. After Resignation and going to a new Business, it's not necessarily as desired.
"Originally, I could have been Promoted to Supervisor, but as a result, just because I'm an unmarried Female who is almost thirty years old, the Company worried that I would get married and have Childbirth next, which would delay Work, so they gave the Promotion Opportunity to another male Employee. I was very angry, so I Resigned," Isobe Nagisa said with a helpless Tone, but without much Feeling of anger, "My Home has some Savings, and I've also saved some Money in recent years. I'm preparing to come to Tokyo and open a Shop by myself. I arrived last Night, and just moved into a New Apartment this morning..."
"Next, do you Intend to find a suitable Shop?" Chi Feichei proactively asked.
The Unfair Situation that Isobe Nagisa mentioned indeed exists. Since she is his own 'daughter', he definitely needs to help with what he can.
"No Need, No Need," Isobe Nagisa laughed, "A Friend of my Mother's Recently Intended to sell the Flower Shop in Beihu Town. Before Resignation, I had Already bought it. I also contacted a Renovation Company, and they will start construction in a couple of days. I'm not the kind of person who would Resign Recklessly. The reason why I Call you is to invite you to be a guest at my New Apartment."
"Has your Mother also come to Tokyo?"
"No, only me. She wants to stay in her Hometown for a few years. When she needs to be taken care of, we will then Discuss Whether or Not to bring her to Tokyo, or I go back... Then, do you want to Come Over to my place now?"
"Okay..."
After noting down the Address Isobe Nagisa said, Chi Feichei hung up the Phone Call, Got Up, Washed Up, Returned to Room, and Opened the locked Cabinet.
Inside the Cabinet, there were two rows of Small Bottle the size of a Thumb, fully more than twenty of them, filled with crystal clear liquid.
Beside the Small Bottle, there was also a Plastic Bag for empty bottles, and a Glass Cup the size of a Water Cup.
Hissashi drowsily woke up, burrowed into the Bedding to the foot of the Bed, "Master, are you extracting Venom again?"
Chi Feichei 'Uh-huh'ed, Looked at the Drawer, then Turned Around and Went Out of the Room.
Hissashi was too lazy to move, still lying prone on the foot of the Bed, curiously looking at the Room Door.
After a moment, Chi Feichei entered the Door holding a large-sized Glass Jar with a Lid, and changed the Plastic Bag containing Small Bottle to the Drawer below.
Hissashi: "..."
Master feels that using Small Bottle to store is too Troublesome, Intending to change to a larger Container?
Chi Feichei really just thought so.
If the Venom Gland is full, new Venom will not be born. It's too Pity not to collect the Venom.
Moreover, if most of the Venom is regularly removed, when he bumps his Teeth or his Emotion fluctuates greatly, the Possibility of Venom seeping out will be much smaller.
But at most, he just uses Venom to poison Cards, the Consumption Speed is too much slower than the Storage Speed.
Even if he didn't extract Venom in Boston at that time, usually forgot, or didn't extract when busy, Small Bottle are still increasing one by one. Currently, there are more than 20 bottles.
He felt it was necessary to change to a larger Container to save trouble.
This Glass Jar was the packaging jar when he bought Mung Bean. It was a bit like the Bottle for soaking liquor he had seen in his previous life. Putting it in, it just reached the top of the Loft.
If it can be put in, then that's it.
Hissashi watched Chi Feichei pick up the Glass Cup and bump his Teeth onto it to extract Venom, "Master, do you think my Venom should also be regularly extracted a bit? Not extracting it won't generate new Venom either, it feels so wasteful."
Chi Feichei let the Venom all drain into the Glass Cup, conveniently handed Hissashi a Small Bottle, and reminded, "You are an Opisthoglyphous Snake."
He wasn't looking down on Hissashi's Venom. Venom with paralyzing effect is sometimes more useful than his Highly Toxic Venom, but Hissashi's Venomous Fang is in his throat area, which is more Troublesome to extract Venom than Proteroglyphous Snake.
Hissashi was stunned. It wanted to extract Venom, but it wasn't like Chi Feichei, who just bumped his Teeth onto the Cup and that was it. Seemingly, it needed to swallow most of the bottle mouth to touch its Venomous Fang.
This... "Uh, No Need, Master..."
Chi Feichei picked up the Bottle, then Turned Around and poured the Venom into the Glass Jar, only a shallow layer. "Do you want to go find Isobe with me in a while?"
Hissashi agreed without thinking, "Go!"
If it weren't for it, how would Master handle the Date Problem if he encountered it again? It must follow Master closely, in order to avoid some Network Lifeform that pops out of the Mobile Phone from time to time stealing its Work.
"Then wait for me a while."
Chi Feichei went to the Washroom again, washed the two Black Plate with Crow Pattern and RAKI Pattern a bit, threw them into the glass cylinder to soak, re-locked the Cabinet, and Went Out with Hissashi.
Isobe Nagisa's newly found Apartment is also in Beihu Town, not far from here. It's a walk of more than ten minutes to reach.
... Beika Town, Doctor Agasa's House.
Haibara Ai also woke up, rubbed her Eyes, took out her Mobile Phone to check Transaction Information.
1 million Japanese Yen... Just following and running around easily for one night, there's this much, not strange either. What they do is an illegal and dangerous Matter, and they need to bear the corresponding Risk.
Moreover, she had followed and participated in Bounty several times, and had a number in mind about the Price of those Wanted Criminals. It's probably only about 6 million Japanese Yen. The bulk of last night's Bounty was probably still the Project Information that Chi Feichei stole from that Company.
She just helped with Packaging a bit, and Chi Feichei gave her 1 million Japanese Yen, which is absolutely giving too much.
Haibara Ai yawned, while daydreaming, she Got Up and Went Out, preparing to Wash Up.
She also didn't need to be affectedly reserved with Chi Feichei. Being affectedly reserved would instead appear distant. She would take as much as given, just consider it as Pocket Money.
Actually, even if she did nothing, simply asking Chi Feichei for Pocket Money, Chi Feichei would also give it. But she didn't want to ask for Pocket Money like Children, and couldn't bring herself to say it...
"What? The Archives of the Cases that Mr. Mouri and Hissashi handled in the Metropolitan Police Department were stolen?! Is Police Officer Takagi really Say So?"
Doctor Agasa's exclamation came from the Living Room.
Haibara Ai was stunned for a moment, Stopped, dodged and hid into the Shadow behind the Corner.
(End of Chapter)
Chapter 610 Request Brother Hissashi to Stay Calm!
"Shhh..." Conan gestured, indicating Doctor Agasa to lower his voice, "Don't be too loud."
Doctor Agasa softened his voice, "Could it be that the ones who stole those records were..."
"Yeah, maybe it was those guys who did it. If they heard that I, who was supposed to be killed by that medicine, am still alive, and they think Uncle Mori's Reasoning is suspicious, then it's not hard to imagine why they did this," Conan's expression was grave, and the figures of Gin and Vodka surfaced in his mind once again, "Those Black Clothes men's companions can easily guess that Kudo Shinichi is pulling the strings behind Mori Kogoro! My disappearance and the appearance of 'Sleeping Kogoro' happened almost at the same time, so it's no wonder it aroused suspicion..."
"If stealing Mr. Mouri's archive is the reason, then why did they steal Hissashi's archive as well?" Doctor Agasa asked.
"Initially, my guess was that the other party might not be sure whether the person behind 'Sleeping Kogoro' was Kudo Shinichi or Brother Chi, so they stole the archives together to confirm," Conan said.
Doctor Agasa looked around and lowered his voice even further, "If they think Hissashi did it, you won't be discovered, and they won't take action against Hissashi, so it's safe, right?"
"That's right, that's the best possibility, but many things don't make sense," Conan pondered, stroking his chin, "'Sleeping Kogoro' appeared when Brother Chi had already entered Aoyama Fourth Hospital. This is also why I deny my own guess. They only need to go to Aoyama Fourth Hospital to investigate Brother Chi's admission record and compare the time, and they should know that the person helping Uncle with Deduction wouldn't be Brother Chi. Then there's only another possibility left."
"Another possibility?" Doctor Agasa asked, puzzled.
"The other party is not only investigating Uncle Mori, but also investigating Brother Chi!" Conan concluded, then laughed again, "Of course, it's still not certain that those guys did this. It looks more like Uncle and Brother Chi together handled a certain Case that aroused resentment, and they probably wouldn't have thought that I turned into a child after taking that medicine, but it's true that someone is secretly investigating..."
As he spoke, Conan reached into his Pocket to feel around, "To be cautious, there's something I want to Request of you..."
"Hmph! What's the deal? You only come to Request me when you need something!" Doctor Agasa deliberately put on an indifferent Face, "If you have something you want to Request others to do, why don't you find someone more trustworthy?"
Conan sized up Doctor Agasa, "Hey... it can't be because I didn't tell you about the Investigation Record being stolen before that you're so angry, right?"
"That's not it!" Doctor Agasa turned his head away, continuing to be stubbornly proud.
"Doctor, don't be angry," Conan explained speechlessly, "I can't help it either. When Police Officer Takagi told me about this, Haibara was right next to you. If she knew that someone was lurking around investigating, she might worry about this and that again, like feeling that there is Danger around her, feeling uneasy, or feeling that she will be a burden to the people around her, messing around like she did on the Bus... By the way, where is she now?"
"She went to Hissashi's place to play Game last night, and seemed to play until very late before going to sleep. She went back to catch up on sleep after returning this morning," Doctor Agasa said in a low voice, "Didn't you tell Hissashi about this either?"
"Not yet," Conan explained hesitantly, "It's not that I'm being stubborn. If he helps, it will be easier, but how should I explain it to him? Should I truthfully tell him that I am actually Kudo Shinichi, that I have provoked a group of dangerous Fellows, and that someone is investigating around us recently, so we need to be careful?"
"Isn't that good?" Doctor Agasa asked.
"Don't forget, I lied to him and said I was a Schizophrenia patient," Conan gave him Half-Moon Eyes, "What if he thinks this is my Delusion? Even if he believes it, if he doesn't take the other party seriously, even he will be in Danger. Besides, you were the one who said not to tell anyone else my True Identity back then..."
Doctor Agasa mentally pictured Chi Feichei being given medicine and becoming smaller, Chi Feichei being given medicine and dying instead of becoming smaller, Chi Feichei escaping by luck but being targeted by the other party and hiding everywhere like Conan...
He was instantly persuaded.
Shinichi is not an ordinary High School Student, he is smarter than many adults, but he still failed.
Hissashi is probably a little stronger than Shinichi in terms of Reasoning, and he is much more stable in Personality, but he might also fail, right?
"In short, never tell Haibara about this, as for Brother Chi... if the Situation becomes serious, I will find a way to remind him to be Careful of his Safety," Conan hesitated for a moment, "Actually, there is another very Weird Place, why did the other party send the archive back to the Metropolitan Police Department intact?"
"Since the Investigation is already clear, the archive is useless, of course it should be sent back to the Metropolitan Police Department," Doctor Agasa said as a matter of course.
"Idiot, since it's useless, wouldn't it be fine to just throw it away?" Conan retorted, and then speculated, "This may be a bold Signal sent by the other party, telling us that they know our every move like the back of their hand, or it could be..."
"A Trap to lure someone out," Hattori Heiji sat on the Table, stroking his chin and taking over the conversation, "In This Case, investigating Brother Hissashi might be a warning, the Goal might be you, or it might be that Big Sister..."
"That's right, it's probably expressing a subtext like 'If you don't want to implicate others, then take the initiative to stand in front of me yourself', but, I have another Speculation..." Conan was stunned, turned his Head to Look at the black-skinned guy behind him, took two steps back in surprise, and pointed at Hattori Heiji who suddenly popped up, "Hattori? Why are you here?!"
"Uncle asked me to come," Hattori Heiji smiled and pointed at Doctor Agasa, "Because I'm the only one who knows your Identity and can Help you, knowing that you are in Trouble, of course I have to lend you a hand!"
"But now the other party's Whereabouts are uncertain, it's difficult to come up with good Countermeasures to deal with them..." Doctor Agasa had a headache.
"You're too naive, Uncle! How could Kudo, who has been keeping this Matter in his Heart, come here to tell you these things for no Reason?" Hattori Heiji spread his hands, "The Reason why he ran over here is probably because he has already discovered important Clues, or found a Method to deal with the other party..."
Conan could only reveal all of his Speculation.
At Beika City Hotel, the Businessperson Masuyama Kenzo, Code Name Pisco, committed Murder. During the Interrogation, an Accomplice handed him his Purple Handkerchief.
At that time, besides Pisco, there were six other people who received the Purple Handkerchief.
"Removing Brother Chi, there are still five people," Conan didn't suspect Chi Feichei at all, and said with a grave Expression, "And among those five people, only one person announced her retirement after that Matter and has disappeared since then..."
Doctor Agasa's Face changed slightly, "Retirement? Is that person perhaps..."
"Chris Vineyard!" Conan's Gaze became firm, "That American Movie Star!"
Behind the Stair Landing, Haibara Ai was stunned, her Face a little unsightly.
Chris Vineyard?
That Female Celebrity's Relationship with Brother Hissashi seems to be a bit unusual.
At Teitan High School's School Fair, Conan took the Temporary Antidote and turned back. She put on a Mask and disguised herself as Conan, using the Method of Conan and Kudo Shinichi appearing at the same Time to dispel Mouri Ran's Suspicion that 'Conan = Kudo Shinichi'.
At that Time, she and Uncle Mori went to the Garden Party together to find Chi Feichei to meet up, and then went to the Backstage of the Stage Play together. At that Time, Doctor Tomoaki Araide also asked Brother Hissashi if he liked Chris Vineyard.
At that Time, Doctor Niide said that when Chris Vineyard went to see a Doctor and talked about Chi Feichei, she said that Chi Feichei was considerate and had Manner, because not many women said that, so Doctor Niide wanted to ask Chi Feichei if he had a Good Impression.
It's no wonder that Doctor Niide would think so. At the Memorial Service that Day, she also felt that Chi Feichei and that Female Celebrity were too close, and it was Chi Feichei who took the initiative to Reach Out and put his Hand around her Shoulder, Turning Head to talk to her... Among the women she knew, except for her own Old Mom, Chris Vineyard was the First Time a Woman had maintained such a close distance with Chi Feichei for such a long Time.
If it were other women, even if he didn't say 'I already have a Daughter' to scare them away, Chi Feichei wouldn't get so close to them.
At the Garden Party at that Time, she was still wearing Conan's Alias and said to Chi Feichei—People are beautiful, have a good temperament, and have a good figure, which is quite good.
If Chris Vineyard is a Companion of those people, then...
(゜ロ゜)
Request Brother Hissashi to stay calm, that Female Celebrity is not suitable at all!
"What? Chris? Are you talking about that second-generation actress? That sexy, beautiful, and smart Female Celebrity?!"
Hattori Heiji roared in disbelief to confirm with Conan, but found that Conan and Doctor Agasa's Expressions were a bit strange, "Uh... what's wrong?"
Doctor Agasa recovered from his surprise and couldn't help but ask Conan, "Shinichi, could you be mistaken? I remember when you came back, you said that she was with Hissashi at the Memorial Service, right?"
"They were indeed together communicating, but they weren't together all the Time," Conan corrected, "It only takes a Moment to hand over a Handkerchief, and it's hard to notice if you're not paying attention."
"No, what I mean is..." Doctor Agasa looked tangled, "You also said that they looked very close, didn't you?"
"Huh?" Hattori Heiji sweated, "Hey, hey, Kudo, could it be that Brother Hissashi and her..."
"On the Day when Ran sent Chocolate to everyone, I already asked Brother Chi," Conan said, "I asked him if he had contacted that Big Star again, and he said that because a Murder Case happened, they didn't even have Time to leave Contact Information."
Hattori Heiji breathed a sigh of relief in his Heart, "That means their Relationship is not that good either."
"That Day, I also told Brother Chi that Masuyama Kenzo had an Accomplice to Help him Handle the Police's Interrogation, and mentioned that Chris Vineyard was a Suspect. He said that he also knew Masuyama Kenzo before, and asked me why it wouldn't be him..." Conan's Expression didn't relax much, and he stroked his chin and pondered, "Hattori, if it were you, in the Situation where I suspect someone is a Criminal Accomplice, would you say 'Why wouldn't it be me'?"
Hattori Heiji thought for a while, "Do you think Brother Hissashi was a little angry when he heard you suspect Chris, so he said such Words?"
"I didn't see him look angry at the Time, but that guy is like that, whether he's angry or happy or has other things in his Heart, he won't show it on his Face," Conan said, "But if his Relationship with Chris Vineyard was just meeting once at the Memorial Service, he should also be interested in analyzing Chris's Suspicion, even if he's not interested, he wouldn't..."
"Also wouldn't say such Words," Hattori Heiji took over the conversation thoughtfully, "It's like saying 'If you want to suspect her, you should also suspect me', it looks a bit like he's protecting her."
Neither of them thought that Chi Feichei was a member of the Organization, so they didn't think about Chi Feichei correcting Conan's thinking—don't forget there is another Suspect.
Putting that aside, when Little Friend suspects someone, saying 'Why wouldn't it be me' sounds a bit like being proudly angry, and being angry that Little Friend is suspecting randomly.
