"No problem!" Jodie smiled confidently and prepared to enter the Monitoring Room. Turning back, she winked at Chi Feichei, "Then don't forget our promise. After I help you convey the Reasoning to the Police, you must also truthfully tell me why you're unwilling to tell the Reasoning to the Police yourself."
Chi Feichei nodded, "Okay."
Conan watched Jodie happily go to check the Surveillance Camera footage and suddenly felt that what he was seeing was actually a Little White Rabbit just being tricked by a Big Grey Wolf.
And the Little White Rabbit was still happily being fooled...
Chi Feichei, that Fellow, is really a pitfall.
Regardless of gender, without considering feelings, whether familiar or unfamiliar, regardless of the occasion or Environment, he seizes any Opportunity and casually throws a Pitfall.
Just watching it made his Scalp Numbing...
"Hey, I'm talking to you... is it really okay to Pitfall a Female you just met like that?" Conan asked with Half-Moon Eyes.
"Teacher Mouri isn't here," Chi Feichei said.
Conan touched his chin, "Actually, I could have Sonoko fall asleep to help with the Reasoning..."
"Sonoko is still young," Chi Feichei reminded, "And she still has exams."
What does that mean!
Conan almost jumped up and hurriedly explained, "This is an Anesthetic Needle specially researched by the Doctor, it has no effect on people's Brains!"
"But I think Teacher Mouri is sometimes abnormally muddled," Chi Feichei bent down and gently patted Conan's Head, then straightened up and walked towards the Monitoring Room, saying in a low voice, "Don't go too far, catching one Disaster is enough."
Conan really wanted to raise his Watch Anesthetic Needle, aim it at Chi Feichei's Back, and give Chi Feichei a shot first.
Anyway, he doesn't need to do any Reasoning today!
But...
Thinking about how Chi Feichei just now dug a Pitfall for Jodie without changing his expression, he suddenly felt a little weak.
Revenge now is momentarily satisfying, but revenge finished is a crematorium...
Never Mind, he's magnanimous, he won't bother with Chi Feichei's pettiness!
...
After watching the Surveillance Camera footage, the Autopsy Result also came out.
Jodie sorted out her Clue, took over the Task of Reasoning, and told Inspector Megure and the others Chi Feichei's Reasoning in more detail.
By the way, to better demonstrate the Crime Method, she also had Mouri Ran and Wataru Takagi play the Victim and Culprit, conducting a Game duel.
Chi Feichei brought Conan to watch from a distance, "Letting a Teacher do the Reasoning is indeed the right Choice."
Conan had black lines all over his face, recalling Mouri Ran's previous admiration for Jodie, "Especially a Teacher who lectures well and can make Students understand easily, right?"
"Mm," Chi Feichei acknowledged.
Conan: "..."
He actually admitted it so naturally and calmly...
Looking at the spirited Teacher Judy over there, doesn't Chi Feichei's conscience hurt?
"Mr. Shimizu," Jodie said, arms crossed, looking seriously at Shimizu Takayasu. Her Glasses reflected the light slightly, making her look sharp and confident. Although her tone was strange, her seriousness made people ignore that oddity. "Your Fingerprint must be on that Coin."
Inspector Megure was a little overwhelmed by Jodie's Aura, but still couldn't help but remind her, "But, if we don't check, we still can't be sure..."
"No, Mr. Shimizu didn't know that the Shop Assistant had cleaned the Coin Box before. He probably thought that even if a Coin with his Fingerprint was found in a pile of Coins, it wouldn't matter. And he wasn't wearing Gloves, so he would definitely leave his Fingerprint," Jodie noticed that she seemed to have overdone her Performance a bit, immediately restrained her serious Aura, and looked at Inspector Megure with a smile, "Oh, I think it should be like this, Police Officer just needs to investigate a little and it will be clear~!"
"Uh, mm..." Inspector Megure broke out in a cold sweat.
Is she serious about changing faces so quickly?
She was clearly so confident and sharp just now, but in the blink of an eye, she became amiable and uncertain again.
He suspected that people who are good at Reasoning might not have a very normal Mental State.
"Indeed, there are my Fingerprints..."
Shimizu Takayasu confessed his guilt.
The Murder Motive was because after his Younger Sister started dating the Victim, in order to help the Victim repay the huge Debt owed from Horse Racing and Racing Car gambling, she had been working non-stop for a month, barely eating anything.
"Can you all imagine?" Shimizu Takayasu said with a complex Expression, "In this era, there are still people who almost went blind due to Vitamin E deficiency caused by nutritional imbalance..."
Chi Feichei turned his Line of Sight away, wondering if it was because he knew about his family's Genetic Disease that he was a bit sensitive to the word 'blindness'.
Although it was like this in the original Plot, with Conan, FBI's Jodie, and him here, he always felt it was a bit subtle, as if Heavens was again taking the Opportunity to throw Clues to Conan...
"Finally, that Fellow even joined a Violent Organization. Even so, my silly Younger Sister was still unwilling to leave him. That Fellow said that as long as I beat him once, he would be willing to break up with my Younger Sister," Shimizu Takayasu looked at the Arcade Machine over there, "To beat him, I worked hard to improve my Game Skill and even got the Title of 'Beika Lutas', but even then I still couldn't beat him, so I Murdered him. But to be honest, I really regret it now, because I've ruined the Opportunity to personally defeat the 'Mihua Kaiser Emperor'..."
Conan silently watched Shimizu Takayasu. This time, he didn't think about whether Shimizu Takayasu was saying 'regret' to reduce his guilt, because this wasn't an excuse. Initially, Shimizu Takayasu probably already considered the Consequences of Murder...
Chi Feichei didn't say anything either.
Regret? Unnecessary.
Even if Shimizu Takayasu could defeat the Victim, there was an 80% chance that the Victim would say with a smile, 'Boss, you really took a Joke seriously, huh? How could I leave her just because of a Game's Victory or Defeat!'
Right, Human Inferiority.
For a hoodlum, there's nothing better than a Woman who wholeheartedly follows him and can also help him repay his Debt. Even if that Woman is ugly, even if he's already tired of her, for that little Value, the Victim wouldn't let go.
Shimizu Takayasu wanted to let his Younger Sister Break Away from this Man, either hoping his Younger Sister would figure it out or that the Man would have a change of heart, or... this Man died!
The former hope was slim, and the initiative was in other people's Hands, while the latter could be controlled by himself.
If it were him, he would also choose the latter. Of course, he wouldn't do it himself. It's not cost-effective. There are many Opportunities to borrow a Knife for Murder, and even 'incitement' isn't necessary. Just a quiet push at the right Time is enough.
He has the patience to practice Game Skill, but not the patience to dig a Pitfall?
Of course, he wouldn't help Shimizu Takayasu with any ideas just because of this.
Who knows if Shimizu Takayasu will Surrender because his Mentality can't handle the pressure? Who knows if Shimizu Takayasu will run into any problems?
He and Shimizu Takayasu aren't familiar, there's no need to take the Risk.
It could also be said that he himself is truly a Human lacking a Sense of Justice.
...
With the Incident resolved, the Game couldn't continue either.
Leaving the Game Arcade, Suzuki Sonoko walked on the Road and couldn't help but say admiringly, "Teacher Judy was so cool just now! Just like Agatha Christie!"
"No, that was actually..." Jodie said with a Sorry Expression, secretly glancing at Chi Feichei, who was walking beside her with an indifferent Expression.
Mouri Ran and Suzuki Sonoko Understood.
"No way..."
"Could it be that Brother Hichiji asked Teacher..."
"Yes!" Jodie smiled and nodded. She didn't want to be in the Limelight too much, although she had already been in the Limelight enough just now. "It was Mr. Chi who asked me to Help convey the Reasoning to the Police. The Promise was that he would tell me the Reason why he didn't do the Reasoning himself. Mr. Chi, can you tell me now? If it's not convenient for others to Know, you can tell me secretly..."
The corner of Mouri Ran's mouth twitched slightly, and she guessed a possibility, "I think Probably..."
"There's nothing inconvenient about it," Chi Feichei said naturally and calmly, "I don't like explaining Reasoning to others, and I also don't like doing Written Statements."
Jodie: "..."
She was already prepared to dig up some big Intelligence, but the Outcome is just this? Just this?
He doesn't like doing Written Statements, so he doesn't do the Reasoning... wait, does that mean the matter of doing the Written Statement has just fallen on her Head?
She also doesn't want to be called to the Metropolitan Police Department to do a Written Statement. She herself is an FBI agent who entered the country privately. If there are Places she can't explain clearly, her Abnormality will be discovered...
"Sure enough, it's like this," Mouri Ran said with a dry smile, seeing Jodie's Expression was a bit dull, she explained, "Brother Hichiji really doesn't like doing Written Statements. Many Times when doing Written Statements, he'll call on Conan to restate the Course of Events. And he also doesn't explain the Reasoning in detail to others. He's even given Inspector Megure a Modus Operandi Explanation before, letting the Police restore and Experiment themselves..."
"Is, is that so..."
Jodie suddenly felt a pain in her chest.
Looking at it this way, Chi Feichei initially asked her to help with this idea, right? She happily agreed before, how silly she looks now...
Pitfall-ed to the point of chest pain.
Looking again, Chi Feichei beside her still had a calm Face.
Feeling even more pain in her chest...
Chi Feichei saw Jodie looking at him, thought for a moment, and decided to apologize, "Sorry, I didn't explain it clearly to you beforehand and ask for your Opinion."
But, since she took over the Reasoning work, she should have thought about having to do a Written Statement, right...?
Jodie also thought of this point, and she couldn't exactly say that it was inconvenient for her to go to the Metropolitan Police Department. Plus, the other person had already apologized with a serious Face. Although she was angry and depressed, she still had to maintain a smile...
"Okay, I'll forgive you this time, But you must explain it to me clearly next time!"
"Actually, Brother Hichiji could also tell me and let me do the Reasoning!" Suzuki Sonoko couldn't help but emphasize her existence, "I'm at least the Reasoning Queen Suzuki Sonoko, aren't I more suitable for Reasoning than a Teacher? I don't mind doing Written Statements at all!"
"Sorry, forgot," Chi Feichei said.
He was taking care of Suzuki Sonoko's Little Spirit, and didn't say it directly.
This time's Criminal, when initially accused, even refuted and said harsh Words. He worried that Suzuki Sonoko wouldn't have the Confidence to intimidate the other party. If she was scared by the other party, her train of thought would be messed up.
Jodie is still more suitable. Her lectures are outstanding, and her explanation train of thought is definitely very clear, not so easily disturbed...
"Forget, forgot..." Suzuki Sonoko hadn't even heard the Truth and was already greatly hit.
Jodie could only smile. If Time could reverse, she definitely wouldn't mind giving this Performance Opportunity to her Student, really...
"But I didn't expect Brother Hichiji and Teacher Judy to get along so well, helping each other out on their first meeting," Mouri Ran said with a smile. "Speaking of which, Brother Hichiji's mother grew up in Britain since she was little, and her Nationality was also British before she got married, right? Is Brother Hichiji more used to getting along with British People?"
"Prejudice," Chi Feichei said concisely.
"No, no, no," Jodie shook her index finger and said seriously, "This is your misunderstanding. Actually, British People and American People have quite big Differences in some aspects..."
