Chapter 736: Unscrupulous Boss
Suzuki Sonoko and Mouri Ran hadn't yet realized that the 'Staff' behind the counter was someone they knew. Seeing the people in front of them receive their Things, they continued walking forward.
"By the way, Ran, why didn't your Uncle come with you?" Suzuki Sonoko turned her head to look at Mouri Ran, casually placing the Badge on the Counter, "Didn't you Call him?"
Chi Feichei didn't say anything, naturally taking the Badge, verifying it, taking the Ticket, and taking the Gift Paper Bag.
"I already made a Phone Call back Home, he said he was going to investigate, I bet he's gone drinking or playing Pachinko again," Mouri Ran said weakly, then added, "But, do we need to Call Brother Chi?"
"No way," Suzuki Sonoko casually took the Paper Bag and Movie Ticket handed over from behind the Counter, glanced at them, and turned around to walk towards the hall, "If he comes, something might happen again. Originally, I planned for just the two of us to come, without bringing the Kid with Glasses. It's rare to watch a Movie, if a Case happens, that would be such a downer!"
Chi Feichei looked at Suzuki Sonoko's back, Silence.
Makes sense, it seems I should put up a Sign in the future: [Conan Not Allowed]
Doctor Agasa, who was behind Suzuki Sonoko in line, held the Badges of him and the five Children, unsure whether to hand them over or not, and gave Chi Feichei a dry laugh.
Haibara Ai: "..."
Does this Young Miss have problems with her Eyes?
Ayumi: "..."
She didn't even notice when face-to-face...
Mitsuhiko: "..."
Amazing.
Genta: "..."
Hopeless.
Conan: "..."
Doesn't want to save her, teasing Chi Feichei is fine, but why include him?
"Sonoko." Chi Feichei spoke out, stopping Suzuki Sonoko who was craning her neck to find the hall.
"Huh?" Suzuki Sonoko turned her head back in Doubt, looked at Chi Feichei, was stunned for two seconds, and then took an exaggerated step back in horror, "Ah! Wh-When did you appear?"
"Since you're here, come and Help," Chi Feichei said, then looked at the five Kids, "And you guys, consider it a Commission, 20,000 Japanese Yen per person."
Strive to use Commissions to resolve the Death God's influence!
"Yes! The Junior Detective League accepts your Commission," Mitsuhiko replied seriously, looked at the other four Kids, and Scratch Head, "But my Commission Fee is fine, Brother Ike has always taken care of our Detective League, and bought many Gifts before."
Speaking of Gifts, Mouri Ran and Suzuki Sonoko thought of that selection of Exam Questions, their expressions stiffening.
"I don't want a Commission Fee either." Ayumi said seriously.
"Labor deserves Reward," Chi Feichei didn't give others a chance to express their Attitude, finished speaking and vacated the Counter, walked to the Chair and sat down, and took out his Mobile Phone smoothly, urging ruthlessly, "Work quickly, there are still many Audience members waiting behind."
Mitsuhiko suddenly had the Feeling of working for an unscrupulous Boss, and didn't mention not wanting Reward again.
With someone helping, Chi Feichei was much more relaxed, and the Speed of verifying Qualifications and issuing Tickets also increased a lot.
Moreover, compared to Chi Feichei's cold attitude of handing over Things, a Group of Children were much more lovely and enthusiastic, interacting politely with the Guests while not forgetting to chat with Chi Feichei.
"Brother Chi, do you want to join our Junior Detective League?" Mitsuhiko Proposed, "You can be our Advisor."
Chi Feichei looked at his Mobile Phone and replied to the Email, without even raising his Head, "I refuse."
Mitsuhiko: "..."
"Then Never Mind," Ayumi comforted Self, "Brother Chi is usually busy enough, and we also have Hassashi, the Group Mascot, so Brother Chi is also considered the Master of the Detective League's Group Mascot, so he's also considered one of us in the Junior Detective League."
The Atmosphere became lively again.
"Right, when taking photos for merit or shooting Education Promotional Videos next time, remember to bring Hassashi!" Genta said.
Mitsuhiko said seriously, "If we can Solve a Case and Catch the Thief in this Burglary Incident before the Police, maybe we'll have a Chance to be on Television!"
Conan laughed dryly, "Being on Television isn't that Easy..."
Chi Feichei raised his Eyes, brought a Case with them? Then the Movie Theater shouldn't have an Accident today.
Haibara Ai discovered Chi Feichei Looked over, and explained, "Several Burglary Incidents have happened in Akebono Town recently, and the Criminal has not been Caught. We plan to go there for Investigation Tomorrow, are you Interested?"
"No," Chi Feichei withdrew his Line of Sight and continued to send Emails to Saki Midorikawa, "Just don't turn the Burglary Incident into a Murder Case."
Saki Midorikawa asked him if he had channels for Specially Training in Combat and Shooting. He planned to arrange for Saki Midorikawa to go to Training Base No. 0331. Unlike those Criminals, Saki Midorikawa was going to 'take classes to recharge'.
He was going to THK Company at Night to see the screening results, and by the way, understand the Situation of the Onmyoji IP, and then attend the Banquet for His Dad.
As For Tomorrow, he still had to go to the bank to deposit Money, and didn't have Time to play with the Children. However, getting this Intelligence was a good thing. Since he knew that the Junior Detective League would go to Akebono Town, all Action Arrangements Tomorrow had to avoid Akebono Town from afar!
Strive to handle the backlog of Intelligence in the next six or seven Days. If there are no Accidents, there will be a period of Rest, waiting for the new Intelligence investigated by the Intelligence Personnel to arrive. If there are Accidents, it will be handling Accidents while waiting for new Intelligence to arrive...
...
Uehara Middle School.
Ubu Ayaka returned to the Entrance of the Classroom, took out her Mobile Phone and Looked, and found that there was no Reply. Her Mood was a little down, and she Reach Out and pushed open the Classroom Door.
"Splash..."
A basin of dirty Water was poured down from above, splashing in front of Ubu Ayaka, without a single drop landing on Ubu Ayaka's Body.
"Thump..."
The basin fell on the Ground, spun around, and settled steadily.
Ubu Ayaka stepped on the Water Stain and walked into the Classroom, ignoring the Group of Classmates who stood up and were dumbstruck, Backhand closed the Door, and quietly Locked the Lock.
Before the Holiday, there would be duty students responsible for cleaning. At this Time Point, she could Guess with her Eyes closed that there would be a Surprise when opening the Door.
The People inside hadn't left after School Dismissal, all waiting to watch the Excitement. The number of People was a bit beyond her Intention. Only four or five People didn't seem to intend to participate in the Prank and left In Advance. All the other Classmates were still there.
The Classroom was silent for a Moment. Looking at the Girl in front of them who was still a bit petite, not only was she not tricked, but she also calmly stepped on the Water Stain and entered the Door. Some People always felt something was wrong, and felt inexplicably scared in their Hearts.
Ubu Ayaka ignored the others and walked towards the Mop leaning against the side of the platform.
"She doesn't want to Clean Up the Water Stain, does she?" The Girl who had previously Teasing Ubu Ayaka suddenly laughed, "She's really a good Child, so, isn't it good to obediently follow the School Rules and keep her Hair?"
A Group of Girls gathered around the Girl also began to chatter.
"Helping to clean up..."
"Hehe, like an idiot..."
The Boy with a crew cut led People Step Forward, reached out from behind Ubu Ayaka, and put his Hand on Ubu Ayaka's Shoulder, his Tone teasing, "Classmate Ubu, what are your Arrangements for the Weekend? Do you want me to take you to experience some Fun Life?"
"Although I'm not in a very good Mood, and I also want to see what you mean by Fun Life," Ubu Ayaka turned her Head sideways, Smilingly Looked at the Boy who looked childish no matter how you looked at him, "But I need to go to Cram School tonight and Tomorrow, and my study schedule is very tight, I'm afraid I can't Go Together with you."
Someone in the Class Whistle, and a Group of Girls also had an Expression of watching a good Play.
"He's taking Action so early, I thought that Fellow could endure it for a while!"
"Kawada, don't scare the Little Sister from Kumamoto!"
"Wow, she said she's going to Cram School tonight and Tomorrow, is it true?"
"She's really a good Child..."
The Boy named Kawada was stunned for a Moment, and continued to smile playfully, "What's so Fun about Cram School? Just don't go!"
"No, he will be angry," Ubu Ayaka Looked at Kawada seriously, "However, I have a good Idea, let's do something Fun now. If you don't move your dirty Hand away from my Shoulder, I'm going to start."
"Hey, you..." Kawada was stunned again, always Feeling that the Crazy in front of him was a Crazy, and then felt that he was being played, and was immediately annoyed in his Heart. He reached out another Hand and Grab towards another Shoulder of Ubu Ayaka, "Don't you..."
Ubu Ayaka took the initiative to Reach Out, Grab Kawada's Hand that was already on her Shoulder, rushed forward, and after pulling Kawada into a Stagger, turned around and lifted her Knee, Action paused, and then heavily topped Kawada's Abdomen. At the same Time as Kawada's Face instantly turned Pale and he bent over, she bent her elbow and smashed it towards the Back of Kawada's Neck, directly knocking him down.
"Bang!"
Kawada fell to the Ground in a shrimp shape, and his Nose was also knocked out of Nosebleed by the Floor. Bright red Blood flowed to the Ground, merging into the Water Stain that was already on the Ground.
Ubu Ayaka didn't have a bit of Triumphant Mood.
She thought of the Group of Monsters with amazing Physical Fitness in the Training Base, thought of when she first entered the Base to do Physical Fitness Test, the tester repeatedly Looked at the Report and then at her, with a questioning Expression of 'how did you get in here', and also thought of the People who taught Combat all being desperate for her, and letting her practice by Self after teaching a little Secret Tip every Day...
She seemed to be quite useless, but at least she had also been someone who had participated in Group fights before. In addition, someone pointed out the misunderstandings in her previous Take Action and told her a little Skill, it was no Problem to Handle these People.
"Ah!"
The Boys and Maidens sitting in the front row exclaimed, Subconsciously left their original seats and retreated backwards, causing a burst of rattling from the Tables and Chairs.
The series of Actions just now, coupled with the ruthless Strength and the Blood Stain flowing on the Ground, was enough to scare a Group of teenagers.
Ubu Ayaka picked up the Mop and tapped the Kawada who was constantly sucking in Cold air on the Ground with the handle end, "Hey, does it hurt? You probably didn't See clearly where I originally intended to hit, but your Companions should have Seen clearly..."
The four Boys who had Come Over with Kawada had already retreated to the periphery, their Faces were a bit ugly.
They had Seen clearly. This Girl from Kumamoto originally seemed to intend to hit the Vital Point of a Man, but turned to hit the Abdomen midway.
Just thinking about it made them feel a chill down their Backs, so they suddenly retreated far away...
"No Method, the compensation Amount for severe disability is a bit too much..." Ubu Ayaka had silently calculated just now, if she hadn't changed her mind, 200,000 wouldn't be enough to compensate for this one.
If she did Things beyond the expectation set by that Person, and made that Person angry, she might be thrown back to that Place again, and never be bothered with again.
"Hey, You Guy..." The Boy who had Step Forward with Kawada felt a bit unable to save Face. A Group of them, Boys, were defeated by a Little Girl, that was too shameful...
Ubu Ayaka picked up the Mop and started to whip it around.
She took the Mop before, just wanting to take a Weapon that was enough for her to distance herself from these People and ensure that she would not be hit.
She remembered the Instructor Said that when fighting against many Opponents, unless she was sure to make the Opponent lose Combat Power in a short Time, it was best to keep a distance. Once she was hit, the Pain would make her Body unable to muster Strength, and then she could only be surrounded and beaten.
"Ow! You..."
"Hey! Are you blind to the fact that we... Ow!"
The Boy who spoke out was also whipped.
"Aren't you afraid that we'll tell the Teacher..."
Before the Boy who ran towards the Entrance opened the Locked Door Lock, the Mop had already been swung towards him.
(End of Chapter)
Chapter 737 Send Email, Ask Raki
All the other Students retreated to the Wall Corner, watching a Girl beat up three Boys, looking at Ubu Saika as if she were a madman.
Ubu Saika, taking advantage of a break in hitting people, slowly retreated to the Entrance and blocked the Door with her back.
Seeing that no one dared to come forward wasn't unexpected. It seemed just like those people she had known before.
Among those who bully others, only a few are leaders. The rest are just followers, easily swayed and unwilling to risk Injury to stand out. Seeing their Opponent's fierce momentum, they didn't dare to Take Action again.
As long as you suppress them with momentum from the start, using Skill and Strength to quickly take down those who stand out, and if someone starts to back down, that retreating Atmosphere will spread to others, making them also afraid to step forward.
This was different from those madmen in the Base who seemed to feel no Pain.
Otherwise, with nearly thirty people, they should have been able to defeat her.
"You..." Ubu Saika tapped a boy who was bent over clutching his leg with the Mop. "Go check my desk Drawer and see if there's anything good."
That Boy's legs and back had been hit hard a few times, and he was in Pain. Being called out by Ubu Saika, and seeing that his Companions were all either Injured or intimidated, he hesitated for a moment before going to Ubu Saika's Desk.
"Bastard!" A boy who had been Injured in front of Ubu Saika suddenly jumped up, but was immediately struck in the Face with the Mop, beaten back to his knees, clutching his Face.
The others watching felt a sympathetic Tooth Pain and quietly stayed in the Corner.
The Boy at Ubu Saika's Desk swallowed hard, turned out all the Trash Bags from the Desk Drawer, and placed them on the Desktop. "U-Ubu Classmate, it's just Garbage..."
"You're the Garbage!" Ubu Saika sensed something was wrong and Subconsciously cursed. Seeing the other person look bullied and afraid to Speak Out, she scanned the others standing by the Wall Corner. "Who did this?"
Everyone fell into Silence, Didn't Say Anything.
Ubu Saika knew that some of these people were acting out of 'loyalty', while others were afraid of Retaliation later. Grabbing the Mop, she walked towards the Girl who had sneered during class. "Ozawa Yuna, Classmate, it must be you then."
"Wh-Why..." Ozawa Yuna felt guilty. She had wanted to Call people to go up together, but seeing that three Boys stronger than her had been beaten, and Kawada, who had been taken down earlier, was considered the strongest fighter in the Class, she immediately lost any Intentions of trying.
She couldn't admit it! Anyway, no one had accused her, and the only one who might have, Kawada, had been beaten. It was impossible for him to side with The Other Party now!
"I Think it's you," Ubu Saika Didn't Take Action. She leaned close to Ozawa Yuna's ear, lowered her Sound, and asked, "Ozawa Classmate, you're so cute, you must be very popular with Uncle, right?"
From the moment she arrived in this Class, Ozawa Yuna had looked at her with a hostile Gaze. Naturally, she had to pay more attention.
From the Information Ozawa Yuna usually revealed while chatting with people, her Home probably ran a Ramen Shop, a Small Shop with average Business. It was unlikely her Home could afford that new Mobile Phone Ozawa Yuna had been showing off. She had a Speculation, but wasn't sure.
After All, they had only known each other for two Days. She could only rely on some past Experience to Speculation.
Ozawa Yuna's Face changed slightly. She frowned, lowered her Sound and asked, "How do you know? Even If you use this to Threaten me, it won't work. It's not just me..."
"Of course not," Ubu Saika said softly in Ozawa Yuna's ear. "Not just you. And there are some people in the Class who know too, right? But if Ozawa Yuna's cute Face gets Injured and becomes ugly, you won't be able to go on Dates with Uncles anymore."
"You..." Ozawa Yuna didn't dare to Say she didn't believe it.
"I Just Hope to Getting Along well with my Classmates," Ubu Saika straightened up and backhanded Kawada, who was howling and trying to Pounce Over, with the Mop, throwing him down again. Turning back to Ozawa Yuna, she continued, "Listen to me from now on. If anyone bullies you, I'll Help you stand up for yourself. It's a good deal, right?"
Ozawa Yuna hesitated for a moment and Nodded.
Having a madman... no, having a Girl who can fight and stand up for you, that wasn't bad.
Ubu Saika Looked Towards Ozawa Yuna's followers, waiting for those Girls to Nod in agreement. Then she turned back to look at Kawada. "Including Kawada Classmate."
Kawada was considered to be completely subdued. Stick after Stick, swung fast and ruthlessly – no one could take that. And he suddenly thought this red-haired Girl was pretty cool. "I, I Understand..."
Ubu Saika knew Boys' little hang-ups about Face and didn't force Kawada to Say anything more. She Turned Around, put the Mop back, and said, "It's the Same for everyone else. I have to go to Cram School and need to leave. I'm inviting everyone to dinner at eight o'clock tonight, at Ozawa's family's Noodle Shop. Any Classmates who want to come are welcome."
Injury compensation? As Long As Kawada doesn't tell the Teacher, then No Need.
Moreover, she had aimed for fleshy areas when hitting them. The people she hit only had minor Trauma. Even if they told the Teacher, it was very Possibility that she would only be asked to pay for Medical Expenses. It wouldn't become a big deal, and she would Still Can have a Portion left over. She might as well use it to treat everyone.
She was an outsider. If she didn't seize this Opportunity to build Relationships tonight, some people might Think, 'Why should we listen to someone who came from Kumamoto?' And some might hold Resentment after recovering. It would be very Troublesome in the future, leading to continuous feuds, and rebuilding Relationships would be very Hard.
Being able to infiltrate a delinquent Group in just a few years, and then move from that delinquent Group to a Biker Gang, Ubu Saika had her own strengths. At least among normal peers, she could Understand different people's Mentality and develop her own Relationships.
That Night, a Group of Boys and Maidens had a Gathering at the Noodle Shop.
Ozawa Yuna's Parents were a very Kind and easy-going couple. When they heard they were Ozawa Yuna's Classmates, they even offered to make it free.
Ubu Saika naturally didn't accept. She paid the full Price, and with a few sweet Words, coaxed the couple into leaving them to have fun and let the Group of Children enjoy themselves.
Ozawa Yuna saw that Ubu Saika hadn't said anything to her Parents and felt relieved. She wasn't afraid of Ubu Saika telling her Classmates, but she was afraid of Ubu Saika telling her Parents.
Ubu Saika also gave Kawada and the Group of people she had beaten some Pocket Money, saying Things like, 'We're all Oneself people now. I caused your Injury, so I should pay for the Medical Expenses.' This relieved the Boys who were worried about being scolded for asking for Pocket Money to buy Medicine when they got Home, and smoothed out the knots in the Hearts of this Group of troublemakers.
Many people came, including some who had been bullied before. But Kawada and Ozawa Yuna, who used to bully others, Didn't Say Anything, and the others gradually accepted each other.
They were all a Group of Children of similar Age. Once they started chatting, there were always Topics to talk about – Teasing a certain Teacher at School, Teasing a certain System at School, talking about favorite Stars, recent fresh Matters. The Atmosphere grew more and more lively, and their Relationships rapidly grew closer.
They even chatted without getting their fill. A Group of People, full and satisfied, prepared to find another Place to continue chatting.
"Ubu, will you get in trouble if you go Home late?" Ozawa Yuna asked. "You have Cram School every day. Your family must be very strict, right?"
"In This Case, Yuna, you must Help explain Things properly," Ozawa Yuna's Mother said with a smile.
Ozawa Yuna Looked Towards Ubu Saika. "If you're going to get scolded, I can Go Home with you and explain to your Parents."
Ubu Saika thought of her empty Residence and fell into Silence for a moment. "Let me ask..."
Send Email, Ask Raki.
[Raki, I'm having a Gathering with Classmates. Can I come Home a little later? Also, is it okay if I invite Classmates back to my Residence?]
[Got it sorted? Not bad. You decide for Oneself. --Raki]
That meant it was okay.
Ubu Saika Understood. She simply invited everyone to Go To her Home, bought some Snacks, and they all sat in the Living Room watching Television and chatting.
"Wow, that's amazing! Ubu Classmate, you live by yourself!"
"Ubu Classmate, your family must be rich, right? To rent such a nice Place for you to live alone..."
"I'm so Envy!"
"It's alright." Ubu Saika smiled faintly.
She wasn't sure if she counted as rich. Based on the Money her Father had given her over the years, it probably was. That Money was enough for her to be wealthier than her peers, not to mention the House was rented by the Organization, and her Tuition Fee and Pocket Money were also provided by the Organization. Raki had also transferred Money to her Account.
As the Group of Students got more excited, the Topic slowly shifted.
Ubu Saika Got Up to Go To the Refrigerator to get Fruit, unable to describe the Feeling in her Heart.
She used to Dream of living alone, in a House Just Like this one – a Living Room, a Kitchen, two Rooms, plus a Washroom. She'd use one Room as a Study, and the other to sleep in. Her Friends would be sitting in the Living Room. They could watch Television together and play without restraint, with no Parents to complain. Previously, when she knew someone could live alone, she would have Envy that Freedom.
But yesterday, when she moved in, she went to buy Daily Routine supplies alone after School Dismissal, bought Bento and Fruit, then went Home alone. She ate dinner in the empty House and fell asleep alone at Night, staring at the Ceiling.
She had Insomnia until midnight.
It was very Freedom. She could choose to buy Things she liked, whether it was a Toothbrush, Duvet Cover, Ornament, or Poster. She could buy more expensive Things, Things her Parents had never allowed her to buy before. But she was also very Lonely and lost.
No one cared what she bought, no one cared if she was taking care of herself.
She knew very well that Raki didn't like her and didn't pay her much attention. But the strong Emotion in her Heart, and the respect and thrill she felt when thinking of that person, made it impossible for her to let go easily.
"Ubu, you like Odagiri Toshiya!" Kawada Looked at the Poster on the Wall, Got Up, and mimed playing the Guitar. "I like him the most too! Pity he started a Company and doesn't do Performances or release New Songs anymore. But that's exactly why 'Queen' is so precious, right?"
"Yeah." Ubu Saika turned back, smiled, and took out her Mobile Phone.
This was also something her Stepfather had never allowed her to buy. Her Stepfather said Odagiri Bin was a Criminal, not worth admiring, and forbade her from liking him. But now, asking her to jump around like Kawada, she Seemingly couldn't do it.
The Feeling of suddenly being out of sync with everyone else made her want to Call someone, anyone would do. But holding her Mobile Phone, she Didn't Know who to Call.
Her Mother? She Didn't Know how to explain Things if her Mother asked. She couldn't clearly explain her Father's Situation, let alone mention anything about the Organization.
Moreover, now that her Mother was pregnant with another Child, she could clearly Feel that she had been abandoned.
Her Father? She had Called once, but couldn't get through and hadn't Called again. Raki had said her Father was a person in the Organization. She Didn't Know if her Father was involved in something dangerous or something she shouldn't know about. She didn't dare Contact him casually.
Previous Friends? Those people who watched her being taken away but didn't dare Speak Out. Even if she Understands their Fear of facing the Muzzle, she didn't want to Contact those people again.
Then there was Raki left. But Raki was someone she couldn't Contact casually, or she'd face the Consequences. She knew Raki's Email Address, but there was simply no way to Call him.
(End of Chapter)
Chapter 738 What is the Secret?
A group of young boys and girls laughed and played for a while longer before gradually saying goodbye and departing.
Ozawa Yuna called home to say she would be staying over. She helped Ubu Saika clean the Living Room and lay out the Tatami. After her bath, she was surprised to find Ubu Saika quietly reading a book. "Ubu, aren't you going to sleep?"
Ubu Saika looked up and smiled, "I'm a bit bored and can't sleep. I'll read for a while. If you're sleepy, go ahead and sleep."
She realized she couldn't make any Phone Call and, amidst the excitement, started to feel detached. All she could think about was Study and finishing her homework.
"Tomorrow is the Weekend, it's okay to sleep a little later," Ozawa Yuna lay on the Tatami, "Let's chat for a while, Ubu, you're really amazing. You're pretty, good at fighting, rich, can live alone, and can also do Housework. When I first saw you, I was a little annoyed, but after getting to know you, you're really nice. You're clearly amazing but also polite and enthusiastic, just like... just like the Female Lead in a Manga!"
Ubu Saika didn't know what to say and could only smile.
A long time ago, the words she heard most were 'Idiot'. Her Stepfather felt that her Study hadn't reached his satisfactory Standard, so he would complain that she was stupid. Later, in the Training Base, she was also far inferior to others.
Now someone was sincerely praising her as 'amazing', but she wasn't as Happy as she had imagined.
"Ubu," Ozawa Yuna suddenly asked, "Do you think it's weird that I'm well-fed and clothed but still do compensated dating? You probably can't understand it, right?"
"No, I don't think so," Ubu Saika simply put away her Book and sat on the Tatami to chat with Ozawa Yuna, "When I was in Kumamoto, I also had Friends like you."
"Because there are people like this at School, even more in High School. Just accompanying those people for meals, saying nice Words to make them Happy, and you can exchange it for Reward, and buy the Things you want to buy. I think it's a good thing," Ozawa Yuna said, "Of course, I also encounter annoying Guests, and have to secretly run away... You probably can't understand, if you need anything, your Home will buy it for you, right?"
"Indeed..." Ubu Saika gave a vague Answer. She used to have Money from her Father, and she could buy whatever she wanted, even a Motorcycle. Now, it goes without saying.
"I knew it, you're the most annoying, making people envious to the point of hate!" Ozawa Yuna joked with a smile, her Eyes sparkling with Gossip, "By the Way, Classmate Ubu, are you dating any Boys?"
"No," Ubu Saika hugged her Pillow, feeling a little envious of the sparkle in Ozawa Yuna's Eyes, "I used to, but we broke up."
"Right, you transferred to Tokyo, so what about now? Do you still like him?"
"I like someone else now."
"Huh? Not dating?"
"No, he doesn't like me."
"You're lying, right? Ubu is such a good person, how could there be a Boy who doesn't like you? That's too much, let's go Question him. If he can't explain the Reason, we'll beat him up!"
Ubu Saika: "..."
Girl, don't court death.
"How old is he?" Ozawa Yuna asked curiously, full of Gossip.
"Okay, let's not talk about him," Ubu Saika didn't know, and couldn't say, putting the Pillow back, "Let's sleep, I still have Cram School tomorrow."
Ozawa Yuna was momentarily speechless, "You're really hardworking..."
...
Late at night, Ubu Saika found that Ozawa Yuna had fallen asleep, and couldn't help but take out her Mobile Phone to send an Email.
[Raki, what do you think a Secret is?]
Although Raki said not to contact him if there was nothing important, she still couldn't help but ask.
In the past, she felt that Secrets were inviolable Treasures, and was very disgusted with her Stepfather who didn't respect her Privacy. Now she felt... Secrets make people lonely.
The Email was replied to after a long time.
[Secrets are umbrellas. ——Raki]
Secrets are umbrellas?
Ubu Saika couldn't quite understand. She stared at the Email for a moment, and replied:
[Do you Mean, Secrets make people feel Safety? I can't quite understand, and speaking of Umbrella, I think of Umbrella Chat Software and Umbrella Forum. Do you know about that?]
On the other side, Chi Feichei, who had just come out of the Hotel Banquet Venue, looked at his Mobile Phone, not in a hurry to Reply.
Of course he knew about Umbrella, but he didn't want to reveal too much Information to Ubu Saika. Sometimes knowing too much isn't necessarily a good thing, but he could somewhat understand Ubu Saika's feeling of loneliness from suddenly living alone. Not replying would worry him about driving that girl Crazy...
Fortunately, Ubu Saika sent a new Email right after:
[I probably shouldn't ask so many questions, well then, good Night.]
Chi Feichei didn't Reply, and took Haibara Ai, who had attended the Banquet with him, into the Elevator to the Underground Parking Lot.
After getting in the Car, Haibara Ai said, "I told Doctor Agasa before that I wouldn't be going back tonight."
"Going to my Home?" Chi Feichei asked.
"Going to hunt Bounty, how about it?" Haibara Ai Proposed.
Recently, there had been no Packaging Home Delivery, and she was getting a little itchy.
Chi Feichei reminded her, "You guys are still going to Investigation tomorrow."
They hunt Bounty for the whole Night, and wouldn't be able to get up until noon tomorrow.
Haibara Ai Understood, "It's just a Burglar, it's enough for them to go."
"Alright."
Chi Feichei agreed. Anyway, the Transaction Time for tomorrow was set in the Early Morning, so it didn't matter if he slept until the Afternoon.
After one Night, a Truck of autumn Home Delivery was delivered Near the Metropolitan Police Department.
Haibara Ai peeked out from the Back Seat and saw Sato Miwako standing at the Police Department Entrance from afar.
This scene was a bit familiar. During the Investigation of the Murderer who harmed Sato Miwako's Father and caused his death in the line of duty, she seemed to have also seen Sato Miwako standing blankly at the Police Department Entrance early in the morning.
"Officer Sato seems to still owe you one thing, something she promised to agree to no Matter what."
"Never thought about it, she wouldn't agree to what I want."
"How do you know without trying?"
"I know without trying."
At the Main Entrance of the Metropolitan Police Department, Sato Miwako also saw the Home Delivery Delivery Vehicle driving over, and was stunned for a moment.
A Home Delivery Delivery Vehicle running to the Metropolitan Police Department so early in the morning, without much thought, she could Guess that it was probably 'July Home Delivery Special Delivery' again.
She didn't want to Request July Gang for any help, and she didn't want to always look for July. Standing at the Police Department Entrance early in the morning was probably a bad habit developed last time due to her Father's Matter, when she woke up early to wait for July. When she had Worries, she just wanted to stand in the ice-cold Wind that made people sober for a while.
The Home Delivery Car stopped by the Roadside without turning off the engine.
From the Driver's Seat, a vicissitudes and weak voice came out, "Have someone come to pick up the Home Delivery."
Sato Miwako stepped forward and looked up, and saw an Old Man with a face full of wrinkles smiling Kindlily at her, the corner of her mouth twitching slightly, "July?"
Chi Feichei didn't Answer, stretched out his right Hand wearing Gloves, and pressed a Button next to the dashboard.
The Truck Bed of the Truck slowly rose, and the Home Delivery Cardboard Box inside slid down the laid Oil Paper cloth towards the Rear Compartment Car Door, crashing open the unlocked Car Door, and falling all over the Ground with a crash.
Sato Miwako: "..."
⊙ω⊙
This time's unloading Method was slightly rough.
Chi Feichei waited for all the Cardboard Box to slide out before driving away.
Leopard Express's newly replaced Delivery Vehicle experience, five-star Good Point, it will be more convenient to deliver Goods in the future.
Sato Miwako stood in Original Place, feeling the Wind brought by the Home Delivery Car driving past, looking at the pile of Cardboard Box that had fallen messily on the Ground, Speechless, she Turn Around to Call the Colleague On Duty to pick up the Goods.
July had changed. The Cardboard Box that were packaged so neatly, unloading them like this destroyed the aesthetics.
On the same Day, the Police Officers of the Metropolitan Police Department happily unpacked the Home Delivery, while Chi Feichei and Haibara Ai went Home to catch up on sleep.
Ozawa Yuna followed Ubu Saika to Cram School. After learning that Ubu Saika went to two Cram School every Night after School Dismissal, and had five Cram School scheduled for the Weekend, she once wanted to escape early.
The Junior Detective League went to Akebono Town to Investigation the Burglary Incident, and really turned the Burglary Incident into a Murder Case, silently slandering Chi Feichei for being a Crow's mouth.
The Crime gang continued to commit Crime.
November 1st, School-going parties started going to School, office-going parties also started going to work, and the Crime gang of Chi Feichei's small team continued to commit Crime.
October 27th, School-going parties went to School, office-going parties went to work, and Crime gangs committed Crime.
October 2nd...
October 13th...
School-going parties went to School, office-going parties went to work, and Crime gangs consistently persisted in committing Crime.
November 3rd, School-going parties went to School, office-going parties went to work, and Crime gangs consistently and persistently committed Crime, as conscientious as the Police who worked all year round.
Late at night, in a Black Car speeding through Tokyo Street, a Blonde Hair and blue-eyed Young Man was driving, Expressionless and sighing in his Heart.
Beside him, Yingqu Yan Nan, wearing a Beard and muscular man Disguise Mask, checked both Box again, and after Confirming that there was nothing but Cash inside, he tore off the Disguise Mask, "Boss, Safety."
Chi Feichei said in a hoarse voice, "Throw the Money to the Car Rear Seat, empty the Box, Clean Up the Fingerprint, and when you pass by the Bridge later, Throw the empty Box down."
"I Understand," Yingqu Yan Nan began to rummage through the Money in the Box, "Boss, do you Suspect there's a Problem with the Box?"
He was already familiar with the complete set of Action Procedure.
Before the Action, Confirm the Interpersonal Relationship of the Target, whether there have been any Abnormality recently, Confirm whether the Transaction Location is safe, and whether there are any Suspicious Person, and Confirm whether the escape Route of the Transaction Location is smooth.
Moreover, there was more than one person who went to Confirm. After comparing multiple parties, if the Situation said by any party did not match, the Action would be abandoned.
After Confirming absolute Safety, Action was taken. The Boss responded, and there was a Sniper Lookout. He used a few minutes to meet with the person, complete the Transaction, and leave.
Then there was a Safety Inspection to check whether Bug and Tracker had been placed on himself and in the Box.
At first, he saw that Chi Feichei was not annoyed at all, and inevitably felt tired, but Chi Feichei made him shut up with two Questions.
'How much Money is robbed from a Bank at a time?'
'What is the Transaction Amount tonight?'
How much Gain is there from robbing a Bank depends on how much Cash the Bank has, whether there is a suitable means of transportation, and how much can be taken away. Catching up with the Date when a large Bank transports Cash, it may be about one billion, if it is not the Date of transporting Cash, it may be 300 to 500 million, and if it is a small Bank, it is estimated to be 100 to 200 million. Of course, if it fails, then there will be not a single cent, and one's Life will have to be compensated.
The Transaction Amount tonight is 250 million.
Being able to Extortion such a large Amount, but facing not a group of Bank Employee and Security personnel, but just a person who is afraid, guilty, and has Leverage in their hands.
Why is it so easy?
Because the Organization has Intelligence Personnel who anchored people who can pay so much Amount and have a guilty conscience, investigated the Intelligence clearly, and found the Leverage, but it does not Mean that there is no Risk.
Does the other party really willingly cut meat and bleed? With such a large Amount, won't the Police want to Investigation to the end? In addition to the Police, will the other party ask for help from Yakuza Group?
The hidden Risk is still very large. If they are careless, they will still gain nothing and have to pay with their Life.
He knew that Chi Feichei was reminding him - pay attention to Mentality!
Having seen Extortion Amounts of 100 to 200 million US Dollar in Boston, and the Amount of Money that he had only asked people to Transaction and they were responsible for collecting Funds after the Transaction during this period was not small, he was somewhat Mentality imbalanced.
(End of Chapter)
# Chapter 739: Conan: This is a Man's Premonition
"It's not certain there's a problem. Although the Intelligence Personnel didn't find any channel through which he could obtain eavesdropping devices and trackers," Chi Feichi said in his hoarse voice, still not using his original one, "from now on, discard all such boxes."
Just now, when Yingqu Yan Nan inspected the ten thousand yuan banknotes inside, he saw the interior of the suitcase. The outer casing of the box was a plastic product, with fabric inside and a compartment, which meant things could be hidden.
Yingqu Yan Nan had already thrown all the money into the Back Seat. He took out a dagger and cut open the fabric inside the box. He felt the Boss was still a bit paranoid. He had touched the interior when he inspected it before, and there were no protrusions... Uh...
A small hole the size of a coin had been melted into the plastic layer inside the box. An electronic device about the same size as the small hole was placed inside, inlaid perfectly flush with the surrounding area. Even the color was the same as the plastic layer inside the box, both were black.
Chi Feichi turned his head and took a glance, then withdrew his gaze and continued driving.
In terms of being cautious and not finding it troublesome, his viewpoint and Gin's always remained consistent.
If you're doing shady things, you have to adjust your mentality. You can't get careless just because of one or two successes.
In his previous life, he had seen many desperados who became increasingly arrogant and careless after repeated successes, and eventually fell and died.
As the Car passed over the Bridge, the box, whose fingerprints had been cleaned up, was thrown out of the Car Window and fell Under the Bridge, slowly drifted away with the River.
Yingqu Yan Nan carefully wiped the coin-sized electronic device in his hand with a tissue. Forget fingerprints, even the lacquer on the surface was almost erased. While waiting at the Traffic Lights, he casually threw it onto the Bus Roof of a nearby taxi.
If someone was tracking them, they could only follow that taxi to Other Places.
"Boss, what time should we meet up tomorrow?"
"There's nothing else," Chi Feichi said, restoring his original voice after the things were thrown out, "Rest."
He finally finished the money task before November 7th. Aside from waiting for that large-scale operation, there was nothing else to do. He was going to meet up with that bomber.
...
Next day.
November 7th, weekend, two o'clock in the afternoon.
In the Police Department Parking Lot, after Chi Feichi parked the car, he waited for the five Children of the Detective Boys to get out of the car.
"Huh?" From the Rear of a Mini Patrol Car in the distance, Miyamoto Yumi poked her head out and waved, "Mr. Chi!"
"Ah," Genta turned his head and pointed at Miyamoto Yumi, somewhat astonished, "It's the police officer miss who drives the Mini Patrol Car!"
"My name is Miyamoto Yumi, Miyamoto Yumi!" Miyamoto Yumi quickly stepped forward, hands on her waist, and bent down seriously to emphasize to Genta, then straightened up and looked at Chi Feichi, "Mr. Chi, are you bringing the children to give a statement about the parade bombing case from before?"
Chi Feichi nodded, "Uh-huh."
Miyamoto Yumi: "..."
And... that's it? There was nothing more to say.
Fortunately, the Detective Boys came to the rescue.
Although their method of rescue wasn't very friendly...
"At this time, the Traffic Police should also be out on the street on duty, right?" Genta looked at Mitsuhiko with doubt.
Mitsuhiko touched his chin, "Then is Police Officer Yumi hiding in the Parking Lot being lazy?"
"Of course not!" Miyamoto Yumi quickly explained, smiling, "I don't have to patrol every day. Occasionally, I also have to come back to the Metropolitan Police Department to handle violation records! However, it's really rare for Mr. Chi to be willing to come and give a statement~"
"Inspector Megure said that having the children was enough," Chi Feichi led the Children out of the Parking Lot, "It's just that Doctor Agasa is repairing things at Home, so I brought the children over for him."
"I see," Miyamoto Yumi also went out with the group of people, smiling, "Takagi can't handle your trouble anymore either. He was dumped by Miwako, and he hasn't been in good spirits recently."
Chi Feichi: "..."
Explain clearly, when did he ever trouble Wataru Takagi?
"Ah?" Ayumi was astonished, "Why?"
"Did they have an argument?" Mitsuhiko asked.
Miyamoto Yumi looked towards Chi Feichi, who was walking beside her, staring.
The five Children also looked up at Chi Feichi, staring.
Chi Feichi looked back at Miyamoto Yumi coldly: "..."
What does that have to do with him? Don't throw dirt on him.
"Cough," Miyamoto Yumi felt a chill behind her from being stared at. She withdrew her gaze and walked towards the Police Department Building first, "At least that's what everyone thinks. That day, Miwako suddenly got angry at Takagi, and then chatted with you in the Corner for so long, and seemed very happy. After coming back that day, she told Takagi that the date on the weekend was canceled and dumped Takagi..."
Conan was astonished for a moment, his face suddenly looking unpleasant.
Although Chi Feichi usually seemed distant and difficult to get along with, he was quite good to everyone. He was calm, capable, came from a good family, and was handsome... Anyway, he was very popular with girls.
However, he originally thought that luring those infatuated girls from Teitan High School would be enough. Unexpectedly, Chi Feichi's influence had actually extended to the Metropolitan Police Department.
Ran is so close to Chi Feichi... He won't become the next Wataru Takagi, will he?
He felt a sense of crisis.
As Miyamoto Yumi spoke, her expression became strange for a moment, seeming to want to smile, "So Mr. Chi, coming to the Metropolitan Police Department today is not a good choice!"
"Ah?" Mitsuhiko imagined a scene of a group of police officers glaring fiercely at Chi Feichi, "Then... why don't we let Brother Chi wait outside for us?"
"Although Police Officer Takagi is so pitiful..." Ayumi was conflicted and also wanted to persuade Chi Feichi not to go in.
"It's okay," Haibara Ai said, "Even if their gazes are fierce, it's useless against Brother Hichiji, and as police officers, they can't do anything to civilians."
Conan didn't say anything, sizing up Chi Feichi with the gaze of an imaginary enemy.
No, he knew very well how petty Chi Feichi was. He was cold and a pitfall, even bullying children, and he was a workaholic who wasn't considerate at all. What was so good about him?
Also, this guy Chi Feichi is definitely a hidden philanderer, a ten thousand year veteran!
Definitely! This is a man's premonition.
Chi Feichi sensed a gaze that wasn't quite right staring at him. He lowered his head and met Conan's line of sight.
What's with the Famous Detective's gaze? He didn't do anything, did he?
Conan stared at Chi Feichi with half-moon eyes.
This time, he wouldn't compromise!
"Duang~!"
A bump swelled up on Conan's head.
Chi Feichi withdrew his hand and looked towards Miyamoto Yumi, who was astonished, and said calmly, "It's nothing, there was a fly on Conan's head just now. You continue talking."
Miyamoto Yumi: "..."
What kind of fly needs to be hit with a fist? Does she look like someone who is so easy to be fooled?
Conan held his head and continued to stare at Chi Feichi.
(▼皿▼#)
Now he's still bullying him?
Just wait! He must expose Chi Feichi's true colors, at least let Ran know!
Haibara Ai: "..."
Strange gunpowder smell.
Did they say anything just now that made Conan unhappy? No, right? Could it be that he's standing up for Police Officer Takagi? But who can explain matters of emotion?
Never mind, the Famous Detective's emotion seems a bit unstable today.
After being speechless, Miyamoto Yumi continued walking out of the Parking Lot, "Mr. Chi, what exactly did you say to Miwako that day?"
"With the theme of 'Don't point thorns at people who love and tolerate you'," Chi Feichi's tone was flat, "discussing the handling method of human interpersonal relationships, the psychological changes and future, and the association with personality, as well as examples in modern society."
Miyamoto Yumi: "???"
What? Can you say that again?
Haibara Ai calmly summarized, "In short, he told Officer Sato that getting angry at Police Officer Takagi wasn't very good."
"I see," Miyamoto Yumi looked at Chi Feichi, speechless. Couldn't he just say it that simply? "Then why was Miwako smilingly patting your shoulder? We saw it."
"She said she would introduce me to juniors from the Police Academy if I had time for a gathering." Chi Feichi said truthfully.
"No wonder she asked me if I could call you to Karaoke tonight, I thought..." Miyamoto Yumi muttered in a low voice, then suddenly paused and sighed, "Then maybe it has nothing to do with you. Miwako is probably because of Matsuda."
"Matsuda?" Mitsuhiko was curious.
"Police Officer Matsuda, who died in the line of duty in the bombing case three years ago," Miyamoto Yumi touched her chin, "However, this case hasn't been solved yet, so I guess I can't tell you casually."
What a way to whet the appetite.
How could Genta, Ayumi, and Mitsuhiko give up? They pestered Miyamoto Yumi with a round of flattery, praising her eloquence and saying she must be good at telling stories, insisting on hearing the story of the police officer who died in the line of duty three years ago.
When Conan heard it had nothing to do with Chi Feichi, the sense of crisis in his heart was somewhat eliminated, and he also looked at Miyamoto Yumi curiously, waiting to hear the story.
Miyamoto Yumi couldn't resist the three children and was coaxed into happy compromise, "Alright, alright, I'll just tell you the portion that doesn't have much association with the case. Three years ago, a Police Officer named Matsuda Jinpei was transferred from the Metropolitan Police Department Bomb Squad to Investigation Division One. That person also wore sunglasses at the Metropolitan Police Department and spoke very impolitely, but he was indeed a handsome guy. Moreover, Inspector Megure said at that time that as long as something happened, the higher-ups would assign him immediately. It's obvious he was an intense guy. During that time, Miwako was assigned to guide him. It was said to be for a period of time, but it was actually only seven days. Initially, Miwako would complain to me about how bad Matsuda's attitude was when interrogating people and how he didn't act like a police officer at all. Later, when Miwako talked about Matsuda, she started constantly talking about his advantages..."
"That's right, even I could see it, Miwako fell in love with Matsuda," Miyamoto Yumi's smile on her face became complex, "However, on the seventh day after Matsuda was transferred to Investigation Division One, the Metropolitan Police Department received a fax with a bomb threat cipher on it. Matsuda was also waiting for that fax. Afterwards, I heard Miwako say that Matsuda's good friend was a police officer who died in the line of duty seven years ago, killed by a bomb placed by that Criminal."
Conan's mood became heavy as he listened, and he said softly, "In the bombing case three years ago, the bomb wasn't defused, so that police officer died in the line of duty..."
"After Matsuda got the cipher, he quickly solved it. Because the explosives disposal squad would take some time to arrive, he went up to the Ferris Wheel in front of Beika Department Store where the bomb was placed by himself and started to defuse the bomb," Miyamoto Yumi couldn't smile anymore, "However, when the bomb was almost defused, the Criminal displayed a sentence on the LCD screen of the bomb, saying there was another bigger bomb in Other Places, and the Location would be displayed on the LCD screen three seconds before the explosion. In order to know the specific Location of the other bomb, Matsuda didn't continue to defuse the bomb. He waited until the last three seconds before the explosion, and used his very fast typing speed to send the Location of the other bomb to Miwako's mobile phone, who was waiting Under the Ferris Wheel..."
(End of Chapter)
Chapter 740: Which Old Man Uttered That Sigh?
Five Children fell silent.
Death, dying in the line of duty, and sacrificing oneself to save more lives – these things do sound heavy.
"Takagi sometimes feels very much like Matsuda to me. It's weird, because although their personalities and abilities are completely different, I just occasionally get that feeling. Last time during the parade explosion, Miwako desperately used her hands to peel away at the car that was heated by the explosion flame, because she was reminded of Matsuda, right? I think, what she truly wanted to save at that time was Police Officer Matsuda who died in the line of duty three years ago," Miyamoto Yumi said, looking towards Chi Feichei, her gaze serious. "Actually, I have also thought about explaining this matter clearly to Mr. Chi. Matsuda seems carefree, but sometimes he also has a calmness and composure that comes from his bones, a feeling very similar to you, and also the way he smokes... He also likes to hold a cigarette in his mouth and look down at his mobile phone. Although saying this behind her back is a bit unfair to Miwako, I hope that whether you can understand these situations, if Miwako's choice is based on Matsuda, then, it's very likely because you are a bit more like Matsuda..."
Five Children silently raised their heads and looked at the silent Chi Feichei.
Chi Feichei suddenly remembered a sentence Amuro Toru had said to him, "For Bomb Defusal..."
Impatience is the biggest Trap.
But these Words cannot be said, it's easy for Conan to judge that he and Amuro Toru have a Relationship, Evidence, exposing his Identity.
"Indeed, one should maintain calmness." Chi Feichei said the second half of the Sentence without changing Face and without a bit of hesitation.
Conan staggered.
Hey hey, is this evaluating whether Police Officer Matsuda's Personality is reasonable? Is Chi Feichei this Fellow's focus a bit off?
Miyamoto Yumi: "..."
Seeing Chi Feichei's Serious Face before, she even thought Chi Feichei was seriously considering, Heart in intense struggle, result just this? Then what's the Meaning of what she said so much?
Haibara Ai sized up Chi Feichei with Suspicion in her Gaze.
Is it Intentionally avoiding the important and dwelling on the trivial?
"Okay, don't overthink it," Chi Feichei started walking towards the Entrance of the Police Department Building, his Tone calm and certain, "Officer Sato and I just casually chatted a few Sentences that day, no matter judging from my Feeling or from her expression, demeanor, and Subconscious Animal when facing me, she has never liked me, otherwise she wouldn't have thought about introducing a junior female student to me, as for me towards her, it's also the Same..."
"Re- Really?!"
Wataru Takagi quickly walked out, looking at Chi Feichei with Starry Eyes full of Expectation, "Mr. Chi, those Words you just Said..."
Chi Feichei Nodded, "I Confirm."
"That's great..." Wataru Takagi let out a long sigh of relief, scratching his Head embarrassedly while explaining with a smile, "I didn't Intentionally eavesdrop, I just just intended to come out to pick you up to take a Written Statement, but it's really a relief, these past two Days I've been thinking, if it was Mr. Chi, it seems like I have no Hope."
"Takagi," Miyamoto Yumi suddenly hugged Wataru Takagi, "Have some ambition, Okay?"
"Hahaha..." Wataru Takagi smiled embarrassedly, and soon started sighing again.
But, he was still dumped.
If Not Because of Chi Feichei, then is it Because he's not good enough? Sato looks down on him? Or...
The Written Statement of the Junior Detective League was completed amidst Wataru Takagi's sighs.
And in the Office of Investigation Division One, Chi Feichei received half an Hour of 'a large Group of Police Officers standing at attention style' Gaze Baptism.
When Sato Miwako entered the Door, she saw Chi Feichei sitting calmly in front of Wataru Takagi's Desk reading a Newspaper, surrounded by a large Group of Colleagues with darkened Faces and resentful Gazes, she was Stunned for a moment, somewhat Doubtful, "What's Wrong here?"
"Ah, no, it's nothing..."
A Group of Police Officers squeezed out smiles on their Faces and stepped back, pretending to talk to each other, but also not moving away.
"Mr. Chi, why did you come to the Metropolitan Police Department?" Sato Miwako stepped forward and casually sat down opposite Chi Feichei.
Just Now, in the instant she was Stunned, she indeed thought of Matsuda Jinpei's appearance when he used to Work at the Metropolitan Police Department, but Chi Feichei always exuded a faint Coldness and a sense of oppression, which is completely different from Matsuda Jinpei's carefree Feeling, and also made her quickly distinguish between the two.
Chi Feichei put the Newspaper aside, "On behalf of Doctor Agasa, I'm sending the Children to come to take a Written Statement."
"Then, are you really not Considering it?" Sato Miwako didn't notice the instantly changing Faces of the surrounding Colleagues, and asked with a smile, "Confirming you're not Going Together to sing Karaoke with us tonight? If you're going, I'll contact a Girl of similar Age to you In Advance!"
"Not going." Chi Feichei refused.
A Group of Police Officers around sighed in relief, and then Stared at Chi Feichei with even more resentful Gazes.
Their Police Flower rarely invites a Male to sing Karaoke, actually being rejected so coldly and ruthlessly.
Chi Feichei: "..."
Suddenly Realized, this Group of Police Officers is also not very Normal.
Never Mind, ignore those people.
"Okay." Sato Miwako Regretted, feeling that a good Helper for Solve a Case was about to leave their Metropolitan Police Department far behind.
Wataru Takagi just finished taking the Written Statement and took Five Children to Go Out.
Sato Miwako was going to take Five Children to the Crime Scene to identify Evidence, besides Chi Feichei who was responsible for taking care of the Child today, Wataru Takagi and Ninzaburo Shiratori also drove a Car and followed closely.
When identifying Evidence at the Crime Scene, Sato Miwako repeatedly spaced out, Realized that today is November 7th, she really couldn't help but think about the Matter three years ago.
"Officer Sato?" Ayumi looked at Sato Miwako Doubtfully, "What's Wrong? Your Face looks very pale, are you feeling unwell?"
"I'm fine." Sato Miwako smiled and cheered up.
"Are you thinking about that Case three years ago?" Mitsuhiko asked cautiously.
Sato Miwako was Stunned, "You..."
How did this Group of Children know?
"Police Officer Yumi has already told us!" Genta said.
"There are no two completely Same people in the World," Haibara Ai looked towards Wataru Takagi and Ninzaburo Shiratori who were Standing and talking in front of the Car over there, and also Chi Feichei who was Standing against the Wall opposite the two, Staring at the Car, Seemingly spacing out, "No Matter who is regarded as a substitute for Police Officer Matsuda, it's unfair to everyone involved."
Sato Miwako was Stunned again, and explained with a smile, "No, I didn't regard anyone as his substitute, Actually... Mr. Chi is a bit more like Takagi, Before, I always felt Mr. Chi was very Indifference, and didn't pay much attention, but the Feeling of him talking to me that day, was really like Matsuda, but I'm very clear, Mr. Chi and Matsuda are two people, Takagi of course is also."
It was also during this Time that she clarified her own Goodwill.
In terms of similarity, Chi Feichei that day was more like Matsuda Jinpei than Wataru Takagi, But, she Discovered that facing Chi Feichei didn't give her that Feeling, In Other Words, she wasn't getting close to Wataru Takagi because of Matsuda Jinpei.
This Discovery made her sigh in relief, But also worried that Wataru Takagi would encounter Danger, or that she would have some Accident this time, So that's why she didn't explain to Wataru Takagi that the Matter of canceling the Date that day was her Mind being impulsive.
She must Seize That Thug, at all Price!
Then don't be like that Fellow Matsuda Jinpei, saying Words of Good Impression at the end, making people worry.
Sato Miwako came back to her senses, and said with a helpless smile, "Sometimes I think, If there were no those Matters..."
"Someone Said to me, if even you forget him, he is equivalent to never having existed," Haibara Ai said softly, "The World has more than one Color, a person's Life is also the Same, not only is there red representing happiness, but there will also be blue representing sadness, Memory is a scroll recording a Life, having only one Color is inevitably too monotonous, No Matter whether it's good or bad, blue or red, every Color on it is your own unique Color, and finally forms a unique scroll, Escape is useless, when one Day, you look at that scroll again, no longer only See a certain piece of azure and Pitch Black, but See its overall brilliance, when you go back to recall your own Memory, no longer only Feeling sadness and pain, but also Feeling nostalgia from within, then you will truly grow up."
This Is what Chi Feichei Said to her Previously, at that time she only remembered the first Sentence, and now she hasn't completely Felt the Meaning of those later ones, But she has indeed gradually had different Feelings.
"I don't Intend to forget," Sato Miwako saw Haibara Ai rarely Saying so much, was somewhat Surprised, and also lowered her Voice, "Matsuda also Said similar Words to me, I keep my Father's Belongings, after he Saw them, he told me, I shouldn't forget, if I forget, my Father will truly die..."
Haibara Ai: "..."
She really didn't have the Intention of helping Brother Hichiji steal someone's wife.
"So I don't Intend to forget, But those later ones..." Sato Miwako paused, not forgetting, but also not indulging in grief, that Mentality is what Matsuda Jinpei wanted to tell her, right? "Which Old Man uttered that Sigh?"
Haibara Ai Subconsciously looked towards a certain young Male who was regarded as an Old Man.
Cough, she initially, and even now, also feels that that is a Sigh that only an Old Man would have.
Beside them, three real Children looked Stunned.
Conan did have a bit of realization, and by the way, Teasing in his Heart - a certain Fellow really is like an Old Man.
Sato Miwako followed Chi Feichei's gaze, Understood, and said with a smile, "So it's Mr. Chi, But what he Said to you, seems a bit too early for you, let's continue!"
After All, even she hasn't completely Understood.
That's Just Like a person reaching the End of Life that's when they have that realization.
Conan Looked at Chi Feichei who was Standing by the Wall over there.
Pray to God, find a Girl to take in this Prodigy!
Not far away, Ninzaburo Shiratori who was staying in front of the Car told Wataru Takagi about Matsuda Jinpei's Matter, and also mentioned Chi Feichei, and they also reached a Tacit Agreement.
Pray to God, find a Girl to take in this Prodigy!
Moreover, the Two People are not only praying, they have already secretly listed the List of Girls they know, and are seriously screening.
Asking others is not as good as Asking Oneself, As Long As Chi Feichei has someone, they can rest assured!
