Chapter 387: Just Grab It [Bonus Chapter for Silver Patron hust
Haibara Ai thought for a moment, still unable to figure out what connection there was between 'Natural Law' and the 'Sole-Self Faction'. Was it because Chi Feichi himself was a Capitalist? Or did it have other meanings...
No way, stop. I can't talk about ideology with Brother Hichiji anymore, I'll really turn into a Crazy Person.
Chi Feichi parked the Car near a Residential Building, went to catch those two escaped Kidnapper, did the Packaging, loaded the car, and then drove again to a Commercial Street where all the shops had already Closed for Business.
"Wine and Dine Restaurant..."
Haibara Ai looked at the shop next to them from the Car Window and asked curiously, "You're not here to catch that Shopkeeper, are you?"
Chi Feichi paused for a moment, not in a hurry to get out of the car. "An acquaintance?"
If it was an Acquaintance of Haibara Ai, depending on the Relationship, if the Relationship was good, he wouldn't catch them. If the Relationship wasn't good, he'd beat them up first, then catch them.
Don't ask Why, if you ask, it's Nature is the true law.
To put it simply... Being Willful.
Haibara Ai looked Away. "Today, Edogawa and the others received a Commission from a Child in Class 1-B, asking them to Help with the Investigation of this Shopkeeper..."
Chi Feichi rolled down the Car Window, lit a cigarette, and while listening, took out his Mobile Phone to Confirm the Situation with the Crow.
"The Wine and Dine Restaurant is run by that Child's Family. Originally, there was Nothing in terms of Business. Suddenly one Day, a Man came. That Man said that the Child's Grandpa who had Pass Away had shown him Favor, and in order to repay this Favor, he Decided to stay in his Family's Shop and work Part-time for Free. But that Child said that his Grandpa who had Pass Away was stingy and harsh towards Others, and was not someone who would bestow Favor upon Others at all," Haibara Ai said. "Moreover, this Shop previously had practically no Guest at all. Seemingly, After that Man came, the Business only then got better..."
Chi Feichi was looking at the Email.
The Reply from the Crow had Already arrived. The general Meaning is that among the Recently gathered Peripheral Member, there were two Sparrows who five years ago Saw the Criminal from the Jewelry Store Robbery, did a Bit of Tracking, and Recently again Saw this Man at the Wine and Dine Restaurant. Because Feimo had been collecting Criminal Information, the Crow who learned of this Matter then reported it.
The earliest reporting Time was half a month ago, But Feimo and he both had no Time to pick Bounties. It wasn't until Yingqu Yan Nan asked him to take on that 'Leg Breaking' Bounty that he summarized the nearby Bounties A Bit, with the Intention of doing them By the Way, and only then did he pick this Bounty.
"I originally thought this Matter was Weird and wanted to let Edogawa Keep Company with that Group of Children and be more active, which is why I told them there was a strong Criminal Atmosphere. Unexpectedly, it really was an escaped Criminal," Haibara Ai asked. "Then, exactly Because of what was this Guy Bountied?"
"The Jewel Thief who stole 300 million Japanese Yen five years ago. At that Time, he Seemingly buried the stolen Jewelry here," Chi Feichi said, recalling A Bit himself. This Man's Name was very Unfamiliar, Probably not some Incident where people would Pass Away.
"Then he found an Excuse to come to the Wine and Dine Restaurant to be a Shopkeeper, is the Intention to Unearth the Jewelry?" Haibara Ai thought for a moment. "But, Although the Criminal Legal Prosecution Period for a Theft Case is five years, But the Civil Statute of Limitations is 20 years. Even If he Unearths it Present, According to Law Regulation, that 300 million Jewelry must also be recovered. He also has no way to take that Jewelry and sell it, right?"
"Also Correct, the Criminal Legal Prosecution Period has passed..." Chi Feichi, on the other hand, Realized a Problem. He logged onto the Bounty Board using his Mobile Phone.
Indeed, it was Already gone from the Bounty Board.
Half a month ago, when the Crow was reporting, they Probably Confirmed that the Bounty had not yet expired. In Other Words, Because he procrastinated, Probably around 100,000 Japanese Yen left him...
This is also not Weird. The Crow summarized too many Bounty News. A Portion of them, Because the Distance was far, he was too lazy to run and couldn't run over. If delayed for two Days, the Criminal would Because of leaving Tokyo and other Reasons separate from the Monitoring Network, and he would have no way to Catch people.
Although this is still the First Time a Criminal was removed from the Bounty Board Because the Criminal Prosecution Period passed...
Haibara Ai also Realized this Point. "If the Criminal Prosecution Period has passed, there's also no Bounty to get if you Seize them?"
"Uh-huh, Guess it expired a few Days ago." Chi Feichi Replied to the Email to the Crow:
[The Bounty for Guicang Xionger has expired. Pay attention Afterwards to log into my Account, check against the Bounty Board, and Regularly Update the Situation.]
"Do you have a Bounty Intelligence Source?" Haibara Ai asked curiously.
"Sort of." Chi Feichi did not elaborate.
Haibara Ai also didn't ask further. "Then are you still going to catch this person? Those three Child are really looking forward to getting an Award from the Police Department after they catch this Criminal, Moreover Edogawa is also... Investigation..."
Silence for a second.
Chi Feichi said decisively and efficiently, "Catch people."
"Go ahead and Catch people," Haibara Ai said faintly. "That Arsonist Before was also Captured by the Police In Advance Because they Get Involved."
No Matter whether or not you can get the Bounty, Just Grab It is the right way.
Chi Feichi decisively got out of the Car, Infiltrated Inside that Shop. After ten-plus minutes, he quietly brought out an Unconscious State Man, did the Packaging, pasted a Note, loaded into the car, then took out his Mobile Phone and Looked. "Ai, Help Look and Check if there is a Printer in the Vicinity."
"Is there anything else?" Haibara Ai asked, taking out her Mobile Phone to search the Map, Then...
"No Need to look anymore, there is a Leopard Express Takkyubin Packaging Point right at the Street Corner if you turn right."
"Uh-huh," Chi Feichi put away his Mobile Phone. "But this Time I'm going to pick up Goods, not going to Catch people."
Haibara Ai was a Bit Doubtful, But what was more Doubtful was another Problem. "Does Leopard Express have many Packaging Points?"
"This Problem is something I also want to ask."
Chi Feichi got in the car. "Clearly, normally you can't find them no matter what, But as soon as it's Time for Bounty Hunting, there always is one in the Vicinity."
Haibara Ai also Followed and got in the car. This is Probably the ill-fated Relationship between Brother Hichiji and Leopard Express, right?
Chi Feichi Infiltrated the Packaging Point, printed two Notes, then went into a Park and dragged out a tied up Man who was Already in an Unconscious State, did the Packaging, pasted a Note, and loaded into the car.
The Printed Paper Content on the Cardboard Box was not quite the Same as Previously:
[Live Delivery
Sender: Flying Eagle (Please transfer Payment to this Person's Account)
July Transit]
Haibara Ai gave him Half-Moon Eyes, Silence.
Brother Hichiji is really walking further and further down the Road of Delivery Service. Previously, he Just delivered his own Goods, but now he also Helps receive and send Others' Goods...
Chi Feichi closed the Rear Compartment Car Door, got in the car After Disguise, and drove towards the National Police Agency.
On the Road, having someone for company is also not considered Boring.
"Brother Hichiji, is there Reward for you Helping with Delivery Service?"
"Ten percent."
"Then at least there is also 10,000 Japanese Yen, right? That's much more expensive than the General Delivery Service Charge..."
"Ai."
"Uh-huh?"
"If sending Things worth 10 Japanese Yen, a regular Delivery Service will Charge at least 100 Japanese Yen. The Delivery Fee is 10 times the Items Value. I only Charge one tenth, they will always make a profit no matter what, it's not black-hearted."
"Hmm... Makes Sense, But... they?"
"Flying Eagle talked with me. Other Bounty Hunter Worry about being targeted by the Public Security Police. Sometimes they See Criminals but also don't want to Catch people. Just watching the Bounty slip away is a Pity. Afterwards, I will collect A Bit of Others' Goods and Help with Delivery. Anyway, many Times my own Goods also can't fill one Car, so I might as well Help deliver A Bit. Besides Flying Eagle, Others' Delivery Fee is twenty percent."
Haibara Ai: "..."
This is fundamentally not the cool Bounty Hunter in her imagination, it is Just a Delivery Service person.
And also has to be Responsible for receiving Goods, Packaging...
...
The Next Day, 8 o'clock in the morning.
Haibara Ai comfortably ate Breakfast, put the Bento into her Schoolbag. "I'm going to School."
"Be Careful on the Road."
Chi Feichi Admonished, and continued Packing Up the Dining Table.
In Japan, Student all go to School by Oneself. If he insists on picking up and dropping off Haibara Ai, Probably After two Days, there will be people chasing After Haibara Ai calling her 'Haibara Young Miss'.
Child Perhaps there is no mocking Intention, Just joining the Excitement and making a fuss, But it will still have an Impact on Haibara Ai's Elementary School Life.
At least, whether it is him or Suzuki Sonoko, no one picked up or dropped off from the start of School.
This Is a Social Phenomenon unique to Japan.
Other Things also include, in an ordinary Family, if there is a Hostess at Home and they also hire a nanny, they will be pointed at and talked about by Others, saying that Woman is Sloth and not virtuous. Because in most people's view, the Female at Home Should all take on the Responsibility of doing Housework.
And Male, After Work, if at Night there are always no Social Engagements, and no one invites them to Places like an Izakaya for Drinking Alcohol, they will also be considered as not Getting Along well with Colleague and Friend, and is a failure.
Feichi saw Haibara Ai left, then impatiently crawled onto the Ground from the Sofa. "Master..."
Feimo also Turn Head to look at Chi Feichi. "That..."
"Go play."
Chi Feichi Packed Up the Table without raising his Head, in Preparation to Start Doing the washing of the Plates. "Later, I'm going out for a trip."
Feichi immediately ran to Chi Feichi's Room, wrapped his Tail around the Kendama and dragged it out, and started bouncing, twisting his Body, and playing Kendama.
Feimo shook his Body which had just grown out fuzz, stood Aside, and lined up waiting to play.
Chi Feichi really very much wanted to film a Video and send it to The Boss to Check, to see what kind of Troublemaker his Pets have been turned into...
Afternoon, After Chi Feichi Go Out, he did a Disguise halfway, changed Car, sent Email to Contact two Organization Peripheral Member and Fulante, and After Arranging the Action, he drove out of Tokyo City.
Let Fulante Disguise and Substitute for Koizumi Kumi, the Action to Contact that Arms Smuggler can also begin.
Before, Fulante was already Contacting Koizumi Kumi and became Good Friend with Koizumi Kumi.
He Just needs to find two Organization Peripheral Member, let Fulante Cooperate, make Koizumi Kumi unconscious, send her to a Secluded Place and keep her under guard.
Exactly how to Action he won't Care anymore, at most is Just Supervise A Bit, to let the Action Process not have any Mistake.
In the Forest, a Car was Already parked in front of a Secluded Cabin.
Chi Feichi Parked the Car in the Vicinity, raised his Head and Looked at the Bird flying In the Sky. Only After Confirming there was no Abnormality did he walk over, wearing that Freckles Europe Youth Face, and went over.
The Person Inside the Room Seemingly Heard Movement. Not long After, a Man wearing a Black Suit carefully opened the Door a Crack.
"Open the Door." Chi Feichi said using a Hoarse Voice.
The Man immediately put away his Gun, opened the Door, and stepped Aside. "Raki, the Person is not yet awake."
Inside the Room, Besides the Black Hair Woman tied to the Chair, there was also a Woman sitting on the Chair Next to her, with Shawl Blonde Hair, azure eyes, deep Facial Features, a hot Figure, wearing a deep V Black one-piece Skirt, who immediately attracted people's Line of Sight with a Glance.
From Chi Feichi's Voice, Fulante recognized his Identity. Smilingly, she looked at Chi Feichi. "Raki, you're here. Is this enough? No Need to Directly Eliminate?"
"If the Corpse is discovered by Others, it is difficult to Handle. First send her to a Place." Chi Feichi Looked Away, Stepped Forward to Observe Koizumi Kumi's Appearance. His Voice Still maintained its Hoarse quality. "How is the Investigation of her Habit going?"
"Everything is understood," Fulante Got Up, Stepped Forward and took out a Wallet from Koizumi Kumi's Outerwear Pocket, and Found a string of Keys. "It also includes her Friend in the Surrounding Area, and some Matters she experienced Previously. Impersonating her for a Period of Time Should be no Problem."
"Uh-huh, Let's go."
Chi Feichi Looked Away, Turn Around and Go Out. When passing by the remaining two Man Inside the Room Beside him, he reminded them, "Keep a close eye on the Person."
"Understand!" The two Man nodded heavily.
