Chapter 751: It Was Mr. Chi Who Led Them Astray!
"People who are tall and thin are prone to developing pulmonary bulla due to congenital abnormalities in the visceral pleura. Pulmonary bulla can rupture with just a little pressure," Conan explained knowledgeably. "After that, gas accumulates in the pleural cavity, which can cause cardiopulmonary dysfunction such as Difficulty Breathing and low blood pressure. Spontaneous Pneumothorax may be accompanied by hemopneumothorax, which means the lung tissue and visceral pleura rupture, and the Situation will be very dangerous."
"In simple terms, his current Situation is," Chi Feichei explained simply, "his Lung has exploded."
Inspector Megure: "..."
Sato Miwako: "..."
Wataru Takagi: "..."
Junior Detective League: "..."
Kiyonaga Matsumoto was silent for a moment, then instructed Inspector Megure, "Megure, from now on, prohibit Mr. Chi from contacting or passing Information to the Criminal in any form! Including but not limited to meetings, conversations, having people convey conversations, and body language Communication!"
"Yes!" Inspector Megure nodded seriously.
Now it's not to protect Chi Feichei, but to protect the Criminal. He also doesn't want to let the Criminal get angered to death in the Interrogation Room before the court hearing.
Chi Feichei: "..."
He really has no Interest in angering the Thug now, he was just summarizing it in a simple and understandable way.
"Also, Sato is the same!" Kiyonaga Matsumoto specifically mentioned Sato Miwako's name before turning to leave.
Sato Miwako: "..."
Last night, she just saw that the other party was unrepentant, and remembering that Matsuda Jinpei died at the hands of this kind of person, she was temporarily angry and deliberately spoke to anger the Criminal. This... it was Mr. Chi who led her astray!
Moreover, she really doesn't think that way now.
After Inspector Megure watched Kiyonaga Matsumoto leave, he directly started urging people to leave, "Sato, take Mr. Chi and the Children to the Lounge to rest for a while!"
...
Lounge.
Sato Miwako poured Tea for Chi Feichei and the five Children, and also poured a cup for herself.
Genta, Mitsuhiko, and Ayumi saw that this was the Room they had been to several times for taking Testimony, so they were no longer restrained.
"I wonder how the Situation is on the other side..." Ayumi said worriedly.
"Don't Worry," Sato Miwako saw Conan lowering his head and not speaking, and guessed it might be because of Mouri Ran, and said with a smile, "The Bomb Disposal Squad has already arrived, and with them there, they will definitely be able to handle it well! But, you guys really know a lot."
"Ah, no..." Conan scratched his Head and Acting Cute, "I heard the experts on the TV Program say it when I was watching TV Program, and he also said that people can't just get angry casually, it's not good for the Body."
"Me too." Haibara Ai used Conan's Excuse, "Probably because I happened to watch the same Program with Edogawa Recently."
"Brother Chi is also very amazing!" Ayumi said.
Mitsuhiko nodded, "Unexpectedly, you dismantled three Bombs by yourself, and even helped catch the Criminal!"
Genta also agreed, "It's just so cool!"
"Yes," Sato Miwako said with a smile, looking at Chi Feichei, "The Member of the Explosive Ordnance Disposal Team said that your Method of dismantling Bombs is very professional!"
Chi Feichei originally wanted to say 'I learned it in Hawaii' to tease Conan, but finally gave up, "I have Knowledge of it."
"Brother Chi, in the Cipher, 'I am a strong hitter among league players, the Extra Innings has begun, even if you prepare high-quality countermeasures, it will be useless, because I will still Turn the Tables in the end...', the Key lies in 'major league players', which means to translate it into English Language, 'high-quality countermeasures' refers to a Pitcher with a good ERA, right?" Conan asked Chi Feichei for the Answer, "The English of 'Extra Innings' is Extrain-ninggame, and the abbreviation for 'ERA' is ERA, 'countermeasures are useless', which means to Eliminate the three Letters ERA from 'EXTRA', leaving X and T. Arrange these two English Letters vertically, and 'Turn the Tables', which is also turned over, is the 'text' in the word 'text', which is the Symbol on the map that represents School..."
Genta, Mitsuhiko, Ayumi: "..."
Unintelligible but feels impressive.
Sato Miwako: "..."
If Conan hadn't said it, she wouldn't have understood.
"However, in the entire Tokyo, there are more than 400 Schools of all sizes," Conan asked with some Doubt, staring at Chi Feichei with inquisitive Gaze, "Why did you use Teitan High School to trick the Criminal? Is there any Hint hidden somewhere else?"
"Today, only High School Student are not on Holiday because of the National Unified Exam. He is aiming to kill people and put the Police in Public Opinion, so it is impossible for him to choose Middle School and Elementary School where only on-duty Teachers and Security Guard are present today. School can Eliminate more than half," Chi Feichei explained. If he couldn't remember the Plot, he would only be able to let the Police investigate like this. "And considering from the Criminal's Mentality, setting the Bomb to Explode at Noon at 12 o'clock, he will definitely observe near Tokyo Tower, wait for the Outcome, and appreciate the Police's anxiety and his own Crime Achievement. And before the Bomb Explosion at 3 PM, he will arrive near the School Vicinity in advance, find a Place with an excellent Line of Sight in advance, and appreciate the Moment from beauty to destruction. Every day from 11 AM to 1 PM at Noon, the Vicinity of Tokyo Tower is when the traffic flow and pedestrian flow are the highest, and there may be traffic jams. He wouldn't want to miss the wonderful Moment because of this, so the School he chooses will be within a Driving Distance of no more than one Hour from Tokyo Tower, or even choose a School within a Driving Distance of 40 minutes. And there are only six Schools like Teitan High School and Beika High School. As long as you trick him once, you can either directly lock down the Bomb Location, or Eliminate one School. The remaining five Schools, within four Hours, are enough for the Police to investigate the Bomb Location and Evacuate the crowd. Because Ran and Sonoko are at Teitan High School, I chose Teitan High School, which is considered to be out of selfishness."
"I See."
Conan felt a little Sigh in his Heart.
After he saw that the Cipher referred to School, he was also worried that it might be Teitan High School, and he hadn't thought of taking the step of Eliminating and tricking the Criminal from the Criminal's Crime Mentality.
Perhaps he would be able to think of it soon, but he was always one step slower.
Uh-huh, as expected of the Man he wants to catch up to!
"By the Way, Brother Hichiji, don't you want to go to Teitan High School to dismantle Bombs?" Haibara Ai jokingly said to tease Chi Feichei.
From yesterday until now, Chi Feichei seems to be unable to resist the attraction of Bombs, causing them to Worry so many times, it is necessary to tease him a bit.
"Not going," Chi Feichei pretended not to hear the resentment in Haibara Ai's Words, took a sip of Tea, "I Said, I have no Interest."
Anyway, under his leadership, none of the Bombs Exploded, which is also considered to have completed the small Goal he had set in his Heart before. It doesn't matter whether he goes to the last Bomb or not anymore.
He believes in the Technology of the Explosive Ordnance Disposal Team personnel.
Haibara Ai: "..."
She was Speechless at his Ability to remain calm and collected.
"Um... Mr. Chi," Sato hesitated for a moment, "I have something I want to Say to you."
Chi Feichei understood and Get Up, and walked towards the Entrance.
"You guys wait inside for a while." Sato Miwako Get Up, greeted the five Children, and followed him out.
"Snap."
The Door was closed.
Genta, Mitsuhiko, and Ayumi exchanged a Glance.
They confirmed with their Gaze that they were all people who wanted to eavesdrop.
"Hey, you guys..." Conan was Speechless, when he Suddenly discovered that Haibara Ai had taken Action directly, and decisively followed.
Haibara Ai leaned close to the Door and listened, shook her Head at the other four people looking at her, indicating that the two were not Outside, lightened her Action, turned the handle, Open the Door, looked out from the Door Crack, confirmed that the two had gone to the Corner at the End of the Corridor, then slipped out quietly.
After the Corner, Sato Miwako stopped and opened her mouth hesitantly, "Mr. Chi, if some Rumor in the Metropolitan Police Department has brought you trouble or misunderstanding, I... I am very sorry."
"No Need, I didn't misunderstand." Chi Feichei Said.
"Is, is that so..." Sato Miwako with bean eyes, "That's good then."
Chi Feichei Turn Around, "Then I'll take the Children to Lunch first."
"Wait!" Sato Miwako hurriedly Speak Out to Call Chi Feichei, "Thank You very much this time. I think, regarding Matsuda's Matter, I should also let it go, not forget it, but treat it as the most special Color on the paper of Life."
Chi Feichei didn't expect Haibara Ai to tell Sato Miwako what he Said before. After All, Haibara Ai doesn't seem like the kind of warm-hearted person who would enlighten others. He Turn Head and glanced at Sato Miwako, and continued to walk Outside, "That's your Matter, it's up to you to Decide."
Sato Miwako always felt that these Words were a bit indifferent, and couldn't figure out Chi Feichei's Intentions, "Then are you going to Karaoke tonight? If the last Bomb can also be safely dismantled, Yumi and I plan to go to Karaoke, and Takagi and Shiratori should also go."
The five Kid just touched the Corner and were about to lean their Heads to listen when they were bumped into head-on by Chi Feichei who came over.
Conan: "!"
Haibara Ai: "!"
Genta, Ayumi, Mitsuhiko: "!"
"I won't go."
Chi Feichei refused Sato Miwako, and was not surprised by the five Kid hiding behind the Wall. He took out his Mobile Phone, looked down at it, and walked towards the Elevator, "Let's go, I'll take you to Lunch first."
Genta immediately perked up and immediately trotted to follow, "Can we eat Eel Rice?"
Ayumi was a little conflicted, "Ayumi wants to eat Sushi..."
"I still prefer to eat Ramen." Mitsuhiko Said.
Conan and Haibara Ai followed Speechless. Children's Attention is really easy to divert.
In a certain Room by the Corridor, Kazami Yuya leaned against the Door, secretly Observation from the Door Crack, and said in a low voice to the Earphone, "Mr. Furuya, it's like this..."
Amuro Toru was walking back from South Beika Station, thinking that he had actually waited for nothing, feeling a little annoyed, "Oh? Then what did Officer Sato Call the Advisor to Say?"
"I'm not sure about that either," Kazami Yuya Said, "I just heard Mr. Chi Say that he's not going."
"How does the Advisor's Mood look?" Amuro Toru was Curious whether the Advisor was confessed to or dumped.
"Uh," Kazami Yuya recalled for a moment, "Can't tell..."
Amuro Toru didn't expect Kazami Yuya to be able to tell either, "Then forget it, come out to eat, I'll wait for you at that Ramen Shop before."
Kazami Yuya looked at the Mobile Phone that hung up the Phone Call and fell into contemplation.
Even wanting to know what the Mood is like... Mr. Furuya is clearly still paying Attention to the former Advisor.
On the same Day, in a certain Ramen Shop, Kazami Yuya couldn't help but accuse his Superior of being hypocritical, and as a result received a warning of 'No telling others, no deliberately contacting Chi Feichei, and no paying Attention to Chi Feichei anymore'.
"This is an order to cover up my infiltration." Amuro Toru added with a Serious face.
Don't let the Public Security's Attention expose the Advisor.
"Cough, I understand."
Kazami Yuya replied seriously, then lowered his Head to eat Noodles, feeling very Grievance in his Heart.
Look, his Superior is just using public orders for private purposes, using subordinates for private purposes, using public...
(End of Chapter)
Chapter 752: Problem, Big Problem
It was nighttime, just after early morning, when the date abruptly jumped from November to late December, and the temperature plummeted.
At nine in the morning, outside the Mouri Detective Agency, a Red Lexus SC was parked on the Streetside.
Further down the street, Akai Shuichi sat in his Car, lowered his head to light a Cigarette, then looked up at the Rearview Mirror.
One Look at the Car and he knew who had come.
Indeed, the Driver's Seat car Door opened, and a Young Man with messy Black short Hair and a tall, thin build got out of the Car, wearing a light brown Trench Coat and Black Trousers…
At least he wasn't wearing Black Clothes.
If he hadn't known that the Chi family Father and Son were always 'Black formal wear enthusiasts,' he would have suspected Chi Feichei of having connections with some Organization.
Akai Shuichi speechlessly smoked his Cigarette. To avoid being noticed by a certain keen and troublesome person, he was about to shift his Line of Sight when his Gaze suddenly froze.
The Little Girl who got out of the Passenger Seat of the Red Car was wearing a long, dark blue cotton coat, her hands tucked into her pockets, following behind Chi Feichei towards the Stairwell Entrance.
They were too far away for him to see her specific appearance clearly, but that wavy short Hair looked like…
At the Stairwell Entrance, Haibara Ai's Heart suddenly thumped, her Footstep halted, and she abruptly turned her Head to Look towards the Cars on the Roadside.
Akai Shuichi immediately turned his Head away, not Staring any further.
Haibara Ai only saw the Figure in the SUV in front, quickly retracted her Line of Sight, and followed Chi Feichei's Footstep.
Just now, someone was definitely Staring at her.
Could it be that person sitting in the SUV?
Judging by the Body Shape, it was a Male, wearing a Knit Cap, and a wisp of smoke drifted to the side of his Head, he should be smoking…
"Brother Chi, Ai, you're here!" Upstairs, Mouri Ran opened the Door and greeted them with a smile, stepping aside to let them in. "Please come in~! Breakfast is ready."
They could vaguely hear Mori Kogoro's sighing voice from inside the Room, "If it's like this every day, the Home's Finance will soon be in the red!"
Mouri Ran turned her Head to Glare at Mori Kogoro, "Brother Chi often treats us to meals, and this is just a Breakfast and taking Brother Chi and Ai to Shizuoka to play on the side, Old Dad, what are you complaining about? Besides, as long as Old Dad doesn't go to Pachinko or Horse Racing, even if it's always like this, the Finance will absolutely, absolutely not have any Problems!"
"I was just joking," Mori Kogoro said, breaking out in a sweat, put down the Newspaper in his Hand, walked to the Dining Table and sat down, and casually greeted, "Hassashi, bring your Little Girl and sit anywhere."
Conan walked to the Dining Table and pulled out a Chair, "And doesn't Uncle have Work today?"
Mouri Ran smiled and Looked at Chi Feichei, "A Program Crew invited my Father to be a guest in Shizuoka, it seems to be a Reasoning Play, and he needs to go and say the Opening remarks, so I Call to Ask if you want to take Ai to play on the side…"
Chi Feichei helped Haibara Ai pull out a Chair.
Mouri Ran seemed to be in a good Mood. After sitting down, she said to Haibara Ai again, "Ai hasn't seen a Program Filming Crime Scene before, right?"
Haibara Ai Nodded and started eating Breakfast.
Conan laughed dryly in his Heart, these two shut-in Children.
Mouri Ran was also used to it, guessing that these siblings just didn't want to talk much in the cold early morning. She didn't feel awkward. Seeing Hissashi poking its Little Head out from Chi Feichei's Collar, she greeted with a smile, "Hissashi, good morning!"
Hissashi slowly stuck out its Snake Tongue, "Ran, cold!"
Chi Feichei: "…"
Hissashi is Ill, hopeless.
Mouri Ran didn't know what Hissashi said. Seeing Hissashi sticking its Snake Tongue out at her, she took it as Hissashi's response, and asked Chi Feichei with a smile, "Brother Hassashi, do you want to prepare something for Hissashi to eat?"
Chi Feichei finally spoke, "No Need, it ate yesterday."
Across the Table, Mori Kogoro Looked up at Hissashi and Asked doubtfully, "It doesn't need to Hibernation?"
"It doesn't Intention to Hibernation," Chi Feichei Said.
Mori Kogoro's Gaze changed slightly, Staring.
As far as he knew, Snakes Hibernation because the outside Environment Temperature dropped, and the Snake's Body Temperature also dropped accordingly, entering Hibernation. Could Hissashi still Hibernation when his Apprentice carried Hissashi on his Body every day?
Or rather, does a Pet Snake have a Choice?
(From Haibara Ai's Stare.)
(From Conan's Stare.)
(From Mouri Ran's Stare.)
Problem, Big Problem.
Should she persuade him? But if she persuades him, what should she Say?
Chi Feichei endured the four people's Stares, and lowered his Head to eat without changing Expression.
Probably because after Hissashi's Last Time Hibernation, the Big Deal of him joining the Organization happened. Hissashi would rather endure it, not even dare to poke its Head out every day, struggling with whether to hibernate or not, and didn't want to obediently Hibernation.
But in other people's eyes, it might be that he put Hissashi on his Body, forcibly maintaining the Temperature around Hissashi, not letting Hissashi Hibernation…
He couldn't possibly explain to the four people 'I can hear it, it's Hissashi Oneself who Said it doesn't want to Hibernation', right?
Then it was estimated that other people's Gaze at him would be even more complicated.
Never Mind, he would take the Responsibility.
Mouri Ran, Haibara Ai, and Conan exchanged a Glance, then Looked at Mori Kogoro.
Among them, only Mori Kogoro was considered Chi Feichei's elder. It was more appropriate for Mori Kogoro to understand the Situation.
Mori Kogoro braced himself and Looked at Chi Feichei, "Hassashi ah…"
Chi Feichei Looked up at Mori Kogoro, waiting for Mori Kogoro to start his speech.
"This…" Mori Kogoro's Expression was serious, "Having someone or other Creatures to rely on is a very happy thing, but excessive dependence is a Performance of a lack of Sense of security, and, We are all here, if you feel too bored alone, you can also Come Over to the Detective Agency at any time…"
Mouri Ran Nodded repeatedly, her Old Dad Said it so well.
Chi Feichei continued to Look at Mori Kogoro quietly.
Please continue, since he Decided to take the Responsibility, then no Matter what others Said, he would listen.
Mori Kogoro: "…"
What did his Apprentice's cold, chilly, and emotionless Gaze mean?
"Cough," Mori Kogoro choked for a moment, Smilingly Curved his Eyes, "Of course, it's okay if Hissashi doesn't Hibernation once or twice, right? Ahahaha…"
Chi Feichei Nodded and retracted his Line of Sight, "Teacher Mouri is right."
Mouri Ran, Haibara Ai, and Conan lowered their Heads powerlessly.
…
Downstairs, Akai Shuichi got out of the Car and walked towards the Stairwell Entrance of the Detective Agency. He casually Threw a small Thing behind the Potted Plant outside the Poirot Cafe, didn't stay too long, lowered his Head to hide his Face under the pulled-up Scarf, and continued walking forward.
Although the Age didn't match, the Hair, the general facial features, were really too similar to Sherry that Belmode was looking for.
In addition, that Woman Belmode was constantly contacting the People from the Mori Detective Agency and Chi Feichei. He vaguely had a Feeling—
This is Sherry!
This time, she actually came with Chi Feichei? In Other Words, Belmode's Choice to contact Chi Feichei Initially and then contact the People from the Mori Detective Agency later was not wrong? Then should they change the Surveillance Goal?
As soon as he Thought about switching to Surveillance Chi Feichei, he remembered the two Companions who were sent to the Metropolitan Police Department, and his Head ached…
But now it seemed that there was No Need.
They had Surveillanced Chi Feichei's Residence, and the suspected Goal Little Girl was definitely not hidden there, and of course, not hidden in the Mori Detective Agency either, but she had Intersections with These People, and the Relationship was still very good.
Since they chose the Mori Detective Agency, and now there was also Gain, it showed that squatting at the Mori Detective Agency was not wrong. As For Chi Feichei's side, it was suitable to Approach openly.
Let Jodie try to contact him again?
Walking into the Alley, Akai Shuichi decisively made a Decision and Called Jodie.
"Hello…"
"It's you, what's the Matter?" Jodie Said, speaking in broken Japanese.
As soon as Akai Shuichi heard it, he knew that there were other People on Jodie's side, "If it's inconvenient, I'll Call you again later."
"Oh, ok!" Jodie Said with a smile, explaining in Japanese with inaccurate Pronunciation, "Yesterday, Teitan High School where I work was placed a Bomb by the Bomber Criminal, and it also delayed the Student's National Unified Exam. Miss Isogai was very interested after reading the News, and wanted me to tell her about the specific Situation. Later, We will also Go Together to a very delicious Restaurant near her Doll Shop for Dinner~"
Early in the morning, a Neighbor Upstairs came to visit, enthusiastically and gossipy to understand the Situation, and also Said that it was rare for Teitan High School to have Winter Vacation, and that she, as a Teacher, should also have a good Rest, inviting her to sit in the Doll Shop, and by the way, share a super delicious Restaurant with her. What else could she Say?
She really wanted to Say 'Thank You, I want to do other Work, I don't want to Rest', but she couldn't Say anything.
This Miss Isogai knew Those People, although she Seemingly didn't know anything, but she could explore more, and maybe there would be Discoveries.
Akai Shuichi heard the helplessness filled under Jodie's Smilingly voice, and was silent for a moment, "Hard Work, then I'll Call you again at Night."
It seemed that Jodie's side was being held back.
But stabilizing the Relationship there was also a Benefit for contacting Chi Feichei.
…
Half an Hour later, Chi Feichei and the five others finished Breakfast, went out, and went Downstairs.
While waiting for Mouri Ran to check the Door Lock Downstairs, Haibara Ai Looked towards the Place where the SUV was parked before.
The Car was still there, but the People inside were no longer there.
Was she overthinking it before? The other party was not Surveillance or Tracking, but just killing Time in the Car while waiting for someone?
Chi Feichei noticed Haibara Ai observing the Car in the distance, and also Looked over, "What's Wrong?"
"It's nothing," Haibara Ai retracted her Line of Sight, struggling with Whether or Not to let Chi Feichei be Careful, hesitated for a moment, and still Said, "When We came, the person in that SUV looked particularly fierce, I wanted to Confirm Whether he was a Bad Person."
"People Seemingly are no longer in the Car," Conan Looked, turned his Head and smiled at Haibara Ai, "I Think it's Probably you are thinking too much, it Should not be a Bad Person!"
Behind the Potted Plant of Poirot Cafe next door, a small Bug transmitted the Sound to someone's Ear in the nearby Alley.
Akai Shuichi: "…"
Fortunately, he was more careful and didn't stay in the Car anymore.
But looked particularly fierce… Did he?
In front of Poirot Cafe, Conan smiled and finished speaking, leaned closer to Haibara Ai, and Asked in a low voice, "Hey, Haibara, could it be that what you saw was…"
Could it be that Man?
Recently, there has been a Mysterious Man wearing a Black Knit Cap Surveillancing the Mori Detective Agency. He could only pretend not to know, wait and see, and secretly observe the Situation before making a Decision.
Because if it was someone from that Organization, and it had been Confirmed that he was Kudo Shinichi, they would have already Take Action directly, and there was No Need to spend Time and effort on Surveillance at all.
Haibara Ai waited for Conan to Say the Following Text.
Conan paused, and didn't want Haibara Ai to be frightened and suspicious all day long, "Uh, No Need, I wanted to Ask, could it be that you saw a Criminal who is Wanted."
Akai Shuichi: "…"
"Don't Know, didn't See clearly…" Haibara Ai suddenly Discovered that Chi Feichei was walking towards that Car, "Huh?"
Conan was also startled by Chi Feichei's action, "Brother Chi!"
If that Man was related to that Organization, approaching so rashly…
Chi Feichei just walked closer to Take a Look, then turned back, took out his Notebook and Recorded, "I'll write down the License Plate, if he is a Bad Person, maybe I can provide a little Clue to the Police in the future."
Conan and Haibara Ai secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Writing down the License Plate, so that Chi Feichei can be Vigilance when he sees this Car in the future, is also a good thing.
Akai Shuichi in the Alley touched his nose, okay, he might have to Consider exchanging Cars with his Colleague, that Veterinarian is really a good example of police-civilian family…
Merry Christmas.
(End of Chapter)
```
Chapter 753 Teacher Mouri Sets Another Death Flag
Chi Feichei was just casually noting down the license plate, but Haibara Ai noticed it, and it was near Mori Detective Agency, so it should be Akai Shuichi.
Even if it wasn't Akai Shuichi, this car was very likely related to the FBI.
After Mouri Ran checked that the doors were locked, A Group of People got in the Car. Chi Feichei drove, heading to Shizuoka.
Listening to Mouri Ran talking about Winter Vacation arrangements along the way, Chi Feichei felt a little emotional in his Heart.
He remembered that school hadn't started long ago, and so quickly it was already the Winter Vacation period when the Death God Elementary School Student started bringing Disaster to the surrounding areas again.
Arriving at Shizuoka, after having Lunch with the Staff of the Program Crew, Mori Kogoro started working, memorizing Dialogue, and confirming the Filming Process with others...
Mouri Ran watched with Conan and Haibara Ai, while Chi Feichei sat Aside playing with his Mobile Phone.
Mobile Phones at this time didn't have much to play. For Entertainment, besides some simple Mini-Game, chatting on UL, and browsing Forums, that was considered being at the forefront of the Trend. Of course, he wasn't playing Game, but was getting Knowledge of the Situation from Yingqu Yan Nan.
The Transaction they were responsible for was completed, but a Portion of unimportant Matters were thrown to others, and they also needed to keep an Eye on it.
In addition, there were some Emails to Reply to.
The reason for constantly playing with his Mobile Phone was that if he frequently took out his Mobile Phone to Reply to Emails, people would realize he was frequently contacting someone about something, and it would be Easy to Think that he was arranging something.
Therefore...
Haibara Ai and Conan curiously turned their Heads to Look twice, but only saw Chi Feichei playing the Snake Game on his Mobile Phone Game.
"Okay, Mr. Mouri, let's Rest for A Bit and go have Dinner first," the Director said enthusiastically, "Once it gets dark, we'll formally begin!"
Mouri Ran breathed a sigh of relief and turned her Head to Ask Chi Feichei, "Brother Hichiji, are you not Interested in TV Drama Filming?"
"No..."
Chi Feichei felt his Mobile Phone vibrate, and at the first moment the Mobile Phone vibrated, he made the Snake Game crash into the edge.
"Buzz."
The Scene on the Screen paused for A Bit, and a Game Over display box popped up.
Chi Feichei stood up and continued pressing his Mobile Phone, "Just wanted to refresh the Record."
The others didn't See the Email he had just received, and only Thought that the Mobile Phone vibration just now was because the Game ended, and Chi Feichei had started playing again, and were Speechless in their Hearts.
Chi Feichei really had an Abnormality passionate love for Game.
...
After coming back from Dinner, Filming formally began.
On the dimly lit Open Ground of the Villa, a Figure's Back looked very profound.
With a 'Bang', a Beam of Light shone down. Mori Kogoro, wearing a White Suit and with a Serious Face, turned Around, Looked at the Lens, and said in a slightly low voice, "Good evening, everyone. I am Private Detective Mori Kogoro. Today's Stage is this Villa behind me, far from the crowds."
All the Lamplight arranged by the Program Crew turned on, illuminating the Villa behind Mori Kogoro.
"This is a Mystery Story of intertwined love and Hatred," Mori Kogoro raised his Index Finger with a Serious Face, and moved to walk closer to the Lens, "The focus of the Incident is... Color! When buying Things, people will Subconsciously choose the Color they like, and it's the Same at the Crime Scene! Okay, I will meet you all again at the end of the Program. I am Mori Kogoro."
Saying that, Mori Kogoro also Blinked his left Eye at the Lens.
Chi Feichei: "..."
There was Suspicion of maliciously Acting Cute.
"Okay, Cut!"
The Director called to stop, and other Staff immediately burst into praise.
"Wonderful, Mr. Mouri!"
"It's really too perfect!"
Mori Kogoro immediately laughed triumphantly, "There, hahaha~!"
"Father, very cool!" Mouri Ran said with a Smile.
"Really?" Mori Kogoro was even happier.
"Uh-huh!" Conan nodded obediently, Teasing silently in his Heart, it's just that the Blinking action at the end was A Bit redundant.
Chi Feichei and Haibara Ai also Nodded. Compared to his usual unreliable appearance, Mori Kogoro was really quite cool just now.
"You've really helped us a lot," the Director greeted him with a Smile, Reached Out to shake hands with Mori Kogoro with both hands, "Because the big-name Actor who used to Say the Opening remarks for us before the Program just happened to catch a Cold today..."
"Oh, No Need to be so Polite," Mori Kogoro Scratch Head and said with a Smile, "If you need a fire brigade in the future, you can always ask me to Come Over!"
Chi Feichei: "..."
His Teacher set another Death Flag. Then, it can be formally announced that this Program has no future.
"If your Program needs a permanent guest, I don't mind either." Mori Kogoro said with a smile.
"That's not necessary!" The Director refused with a dry laugh.
"I'm afraid that's not possible, Mr. Mouri," a Young Man with an Airplane Head walked forward, biting a Cigarette, and lit it with a Lighter, "Because, in this episode's Story, besides the Widow Hostess, her flirtatious Daughter, and the old and frail Butler, there are only the murdered Husband and me, who plays the Detective, a total of five people."
Haibara Ai raised her Eyes to size up the Man, her Gaze focusing on the Man's Coat.
Kazami Yoshiki, a mediocre Actor, his Coat is... greyish-purple, uh-huh, the Style is also from a Clothing Company under Field.
"Wait a minute," a Woman with brown dyed Hair and a large wavy short curly Hair similar to Haibara Ai's said dissatisfiedly with her hands on her Waist, "Request, what do you mean by saying I'm flirtatious? I'm just playing the Role I like according to the Script!"
Haibara Ai continued to size her up.
Hohara Kasumi, a not-so-famous Actress, her Coat is light greyish-purple, the Style can't be identified, but it's mostly also from that series of Clothes.
Kazami Yoshiki faced Hohara Kasumi's glare and spoke unceremoniously, "It's because you're playing it that it feels flirtatious!"
"What did you Say?" Hohara Kasumi was even more annoyed.
"I Say, Brother Kazami," Nagumo Akira, who played the Butler, also stepped forward and said helplessly, "You don't need to Say I'm old and frail, I'm only just 60 years old!"
Haibara Ai continued to size him up.
This one is a dark grey Coat...
"I'm not talking about Age," Kazami Yoshiki Looked at Nagumo Akira playfully, "The 'frail' I'm talking about refers to your Acting Skill."
"What did you Say?" Nagumo Akira was also annoyed.
"To Think you were a once very popular Actor." Kazami Yoshiki said dismissively.
"Old Dad, don't be angry!" Nagumo Akira's Son, Nagumo Nobuharu, who played the Deceased, stepped forward to smooth things over, "Let's not have unpleasantness before Filming starts. Brother Kazami, you should also calm down."
Haibara Ai: "..."
This one is actually wearing Black Clothes, but the Scarf is also greyish-purple.
Mouri Ran watched from Aside, Speechless, and Teasing in a low voice to Chi Feichei and others, "Looks like he's not an Easy person to Get Along with."
Conan looked up and smiled at Mouri Ran, "Anyway, Uncle is only Filming this time, and we won't See him again in the future."
"However, the promotion of the 'Morandi Color Scheme' is very successful," Haibara Ai Looked at Chi Feichei, "Especially among Stars, I believe it won't be long before more people imitating Star clothing will push it into a Trend."
"Greyish-purple has a wider audience," Chi Feichei also said in a low voice, "This Color is Suitable for both men and women, Looks warm, Suitable for Winter Clothes, and should be able to catch a ride on the tailwind of this cold winter."
Haibara Ai remembered that Chi Feichei also had a greyish-purple Sweater, and Nodded, greyish-purple plus a Sweater indeed Looks warm, "Then in Summer Clothes and Spring/Autumn Clothes, we should adopt more cool Color Tone like greyish-green and greyish-blue."
Conan Half-Moon Eyes: "..."
It's going off track, Haibara has been led astray.
Coming to a Film Set once, and she's actually doing Market Research and Market Assessment.
"Speaking of which," the Director raised his Wrist and Looked at his Watch, "Why hasn't Miss Amashiro arrived yet?"
Mouri Ran was immediately attracted by Attention and Asked with Expectation, "Excuse me, could the Miss Amashiro you're talking about be..."
Mori Kogoro also actively crowded forward, "Are you talking about Miss Amashiro Ruri, who is known as the number one person in healing Songs?"
The Director was Stunned by Mori Kogoro's praised Reaction, "Uh-huh..."
Haibara Ai Looked at Chi Feichei, "Has your Company Knowledge of this Miss Amashiro?"
Chi Feichei recalled for A Bit, "The Mainstay of the Other Party's Company, someone was sent to contact her, but she wasn't poached. However, she Seemingly has a Relationship with Teacher Mouri..."
"Huh?" Mori Kogoro heard Chi Feichei mention himself, turned his Head to Look at Chi Feichei, and pointed at himself in Doubt and Asked, "Relationship with me?"
"Miss Amashiro?" Mouri Ran felt Unexpected.
Impossible, how could that famous Singer have a Relationship with her Old Dad? And what exactly does this 'Relationship' refer to?
"Yes, Mr. Mouri Should know Miss Amashiro," the Director said, "The one who specifically requested you to Come Over to replace her to Say the Opening remarks was Miss Amashiro herself!"
"Ah?" Mori Kogoro was Unexpected.
Hey hey, how come he doesn't know that he knows Amashiro Ruri?
"Humph!" Kazami Yoshiki, who was standing Aside smoking, said, "I don't know if she's the number one person in healing Songs or not. I only feel disgusted when I listen to her Songs. That kind of Old Woman is already outdated!"
"Oh dear, even if you want to listen, I wouldn't dare to sing..."
A tall Woman with long Black Hair and a Shawl, wearing a dark Red Trench Coat, arrived nearby at some point, standing behind Kazami Yoshiki, leaned close to Kazami Yoshiki's ear, her pretty Eyes Staring at Kazami Yoshiki with a smile that was not a smile. Seeing that she had scared the Cigarette out of Kazami Yoshiki's mouth, she leisurely retorted, "As for you, a childish Kid who doesn't look like an Idol, I also respectfully decline!"
"It's really Miss Amashiro Ruri herself!" Mori Kogoro's Eyes lit up.
Haibara Ai raised her Eyes to Look, and commented, "Dark brick red, a very personalized and tasteful Choice."
She remembered this Style of Trench Coat, it was still from that new series launched by Field. The new series was a great success, far more popular than she had imagined. It Seems that Field is going to make a big profit this time~
In a very good Mood.
"Thank you for the praise," Amashiro Ruri bent down, smiled and Blinked at Haibara Ai, "Cute Little Sister!"
Haibara Ai looked indifferent, "Thank you for your praise too."
This level of discharge is like charming her? Useless.
"Miss Amashiro, please don't Care About it," Mori Kogoro hurriedly said with a smile, "This Kid is just like this!"
Staying in the room, people hugging their Mobile Phones in Small Room are really envious of people dating Outside... By the way, asking for Monthly Pass
(End of Chapter)
```
"Understood," Amashiro Ruri straightened up and laughed, "She's a cool Girl~"
"Red is also a Color that shows charm." Chi Feichei said.
Amashiro Ruri curiously sized up Chi Feichei, "Can I take that as a compliment?"
"No, the point is..." Chi Feichei looked towards Mori Kogoro, who was excitedly watching Amashiro Ruri from the side, "Showing it off."
The new Designer Trench Coat, specially chosen in an elegant Morandi Color Scheme, yet boldly selected Dark Brick Red, clashes with Amashiro Ruri's age of 37 and her usual simple style.
Red is a Color that easily attracts other people's Line of Sight, appearing flamboyant but also able to show feminine charm. A Human who doesn't usually wear Red suddenly puts on Red, plus delicate makeup and some specially selected Small Accessories like Earrings. No need to think, she definitely came for someone here, to attract someone's Attention.
Moreover, choosing a darker Red, if not because she is still somewhat conservative and reserved in her Heart, then it's because she has a hopeless inferiority complex.
In summary, it's a Mentality of clearly knowing there is no Hope but still being unwilling to give up, wanting to try to attract Attention to get an Answer to give up completely.
In this way, he recalled this Plot, his Teacher Mouri met an old classmate, and for the sake of the old classmate, he displayed great power and solved the Case himself.
More specifically... can't remember for now.
Guess it's not a Case with a particularly brilliant Method.
After Saying that, Chi Feichei fell into Silence.
Why did he put himself in the Limelight?
He must have been infected by some Famous Detective, and couldn't help but point out anything he noticed.
"Huh?" Mori Kogoro was Stunned, "Showing it off?"
Amashiro Ruri was stunned for a moment, then pretended to be relaxed and said, "Oops, you saw through it, that's right, today I specially dressed up to see Kogoro!"
"Ko-Kogoro?!" Mouri Ran exclaimed in surprise.
Conan and Mori Kogoro both had 'I'm scared' looks on their faces.
Amashiro Ruri approached Mori Kogoro, pointed to a Little Black Mole under her lips, and said with a smile, "Could it be that you still can't remember when you see this Mole of mine?"
Mori Kogoro stared for a moment, recalled, and said in surprise, "You're Little Lili? It's been a long time!"
"What exactly is going on..." Mouri Ran muttered, looking to Chi Feichei for help.
Conan also looked up at Chi Feichei.
Chi Feichei definitely knows something.
Haibara Ai looked around, she missed the Juice that is essential for watching a Play again.
Chi Feichei explained, "Toshiya had someone investigate before, Miss Amashiro and Teacher Mouri are Elementary School and Middle School classmates."
Not digging into Amashiro Ruri, firstly because he couldn't dig anything out, and secondly because Amashiro Ruri's Relationship with his Teacher was unusual.
If he brought her over, for his Teacher's Face, he would have to take care of her a bit, but promoting an old Singer whose upward space is almost at its End does not fit with the Company's Development Plan, and it is also easy to have some Conflict with Kuraki Mai, the rising star they are vigorously promoting.
Kuraki Mai is a Newcomer. If there was an older Singer in the Company who had higher Fame and more Works than her, once resources were tilted towards Kuraki Mai, even if Amashiro Ruri agreed, Amashiro Ruri's Fans would be dissatisfied. At that time, it would instead destroy Kuraki Mai's Fan foundation, and there might even be some Scandal and Rumors that are unfavorable to Kuraki Mai, such as rising to the top by using her feminine charm. Once those Rumors exist, Kuraki Mai's own Ability would also be obscured by prejudiced eyes.
And if they chose to tilt resources towards Amashiro Ruri, for the Company's Benefit, Development Speed, Fame improvement and other comprehensive situations, it would not be as cost-effective as tilting towards Kuraki Mai.
They didn't spend much Time signing Kuraki Mai, quickly signed her and formulated a Plan for the Company to open up the situation, decided to promote Kuraki Mai, this potential Newcomer, so for Amashiro Ruri, they only sent an Invitation, belonging to casting a wide Net to catch Fish, without any determination to definitely sign her.
"Oh dear, I really can't tell, not only did you change your Name, your appearance has also changed drastically," Mori Kogoro saw his old classmate, naturally he couldn't avoid reminiscing about the past, "I remember you used to wear Glasses as thick as beer bottles..."
"How is it?" Amashiro Ruri turned sideways and raised her hand, striking a pose to show off her figure, the Mole under her lips made her already pretty Face even more charming, "Have I become prettier?"
"Yes! Yes!" Mori Kogoro responded repeatedly, the perverted expression on his Face was almost completely revealed, fortunately he Realized this was his old classmate, and restrained himself a little, "But why haven't you gotten Marriage yet? A Beauty like you should have suitors!"
"You're so silly..." Amashiro Ruri winked at Mori Kogoro, "Of course it's Because I've been secretly in love with you!"
Mori Kogoro was teased until his Face turned red, in the middle of Winter, steam was rising from the top of his head, and his Eyes also turned into heart shapes.
Chi Feichei raised his Eye: "..."
The Eyes of people in this World are truly magical, why can't he do it...
He can't even learn 'Dot Eyes'!
"Please don't Joke!" Mouri Ran squeezed between the two, anxiously said, "He will take it seriously..."
"Huh?" Amashiro Ruri looked at Mouri Ran, "This Child is..."
"She lives near my Home," Mori Kogoro pulled Mouri Ran behind him, and laughed, "It's not like..."
Mouri Ran hugged Mori Kogoro's Arm, and looked at Amashiro Ruri with hostile Gaze, "I am his Daughter - Ran!"
"Oh?" Amashiro Ruri laughed, "Then she's Eri's Child?"
"Huh?" Mouri Ran was Stunned, and couldn't release her hostility, "You know my Mother?"
Could it be that everything before was a Joke?
"Yes, Eri and I were Classmates from Kindergarten to Middle School," Amashiro Ruri explained, with an expression of disbelief, "But I still can't Understand, Eri was one of the top talents in the School back then, but she let Affection cloud her Brain, took a fancy to the womanizing and unreliable Kogoro, and in the End, the two of them actually got Marriage."
Conan agreed in his Heart, he also couldn't figure out how these two people got together.
"Were they already letting Affection cloud their Brains back in Middle School?" Mouri Ran Expectation Gossip.
Haibara Ai listened silently, wanting to Call for a glass of Juice.
"Yes," Amashiro Ruri actively shared, "Usually very calm Eri, once she met Kogoro, her temper would become very irritable, so we would all tease them from the side, saying they were flirting."
"They still often bicker." Haibara Ai got caught up in the Gossip, and rarely added a Sentence.
Mori Kogoro immediately turned his Head with Black Lines on Forehead and said, "You Little Kid, too much talk!"
Haibara Ai leisurely Tone supplemented, "And it's always Uncle who makes Lawyer Kisaki angry."
Mori Kogoro: "..."
He... he...
Suddenly felt that Conan Kid was much better behaved.
After All, if it was Conan, if he was not behaved, he could be hammered into being behaved, but he couldn't bring himself to do that to a Little Girl, and his eldest Disciple, that abnormal Creature with explosive battle Ability, overly calm Emotion and Gaze, was still watching from the side.
"Pfft!" Amashiro Ruri saw Mori Kogoro's deflated look, and laughed out loud, "This Child is..."
"Cough, let me introduce you," Mori Kogoro turned his Head to Look Towards Chi Feichei, "This is my Disciple, Chi Feichei, currently Study Reasoning with me."
"Hello." Chi Feichei greeted.
"This Little Girl is his Younger Sister, Haibara Ai," Mori Kogoro couldn't help but squeeze in a jab, "A Little Kid who is Cold and arrogant to death."
Haibara Ai: "...Hello."
Petty, if she wasn't familiar with Mori Kogoro, she wouldn't be interested in teasing him.
"This one is Conan, who is temporarily staying at my Home." Mori Kogoro grabbed Conan's Head and rubbed it violently.
Conan endured the resentment in his Heart, and obediently greeted first, "Hello."
Why is he just temporarily staying?
It feels like he instantly became an Outsider.
Besides, it was Haibara who provoked Uncle, Uncle should go to Haibara, why rub his Head so madly!
"Your Relationship is really good," Amashiro Ruri watched Conan hug his Head and jump to the side to tidy his Hair, her Eyes Smilingly Curved, "But it's really Unexpectedly, that super pervert back then actually became a Famous Detective."
Mori Kogoro broke out in a Cold sweat, and could only laugh dryly.
Aside, Kazami Yoshiki looked at the Group of People chatting in a heated Atmosphere, scoffed lightly, and Turn Around and left.
Without letting A Group of People chat for too long, the Program soon began Filming.
The Actors responsible for playing the Roles entered the house, took off their Coats, revealing the Costume underneath, and began to play out a Murder Case.
"...The Corpse beside the Fireplace is covered with a Gray Tablecloth, and on the Chair beside that Table, the Victim's Black Coat is also hanging," Kazami Yoshiki, playing the Detective, walked around the 'Crime Scene' with his hands in his Pants Pocket, "Moreover, the Weapon also fell beside the Corpse, it's a Golf Club with a white Cloth Cover... Hmph! It seems the Mystery is already about to be revealed."
Haibara Ai watched from the sidelines, and couldn't help but Look Towards Chi Feichei.
Compared to the 'Famous Detective Lawyer' played by Kurara Midorikawa, who is currently popular after the Movie was broadcast, the Detective played by Kazami Yoshiki doesn't look cool at all.
But Also Correct, that Lawyer Role was gender-swapped, and the Prototype is still her coolest Brother Hichiji.
In the scene, Amashiro Ruri and others playing other Roles were still Performance.
"Don't play coy!"
"Tell us quickly, who exactly is the Culprit?"
"Hmph!" Kazami Yoshiki snorted lightly again, "Originally, it should be me who explains the ins and outs, but..."
"Hey, wait," the Director couldn't help but Say, "There's no such Dialogue in the Script."
Kazami Yoshiki still continued to do things in his own way, pointing the finger directly at Mori Kogoro, "Tonight, let Famous Detective Mori Kogoro reveal the Mystery!"
"Huh?" Mori Kogoro was Stunned.
Kazami Yoshiki Go To Mori Kogoro, Staring at Mori Kogoro, "First of all, why did the Culprit cover the Corpse with a Gray Tablecloth?"
"This..." Mori Kogoro broke out in a Cold sweat, "This may be Because the Culprit deeply loved the Deceased, so he couldn't bear to let his Corpse lie in such a Cold Environment..."
"But, isn't there a Coat hanging on the Chair?" Kazami Yoshiki relentlessly pursued, "Why deliberately use a Tablecloth?"
Requesting monthly tickets... Requesting monthly tickets for Christmas
...
(End of Chapter)
"Ah, this might be..." Mori Kogoro was sweating, then suddenly laughed, "Gray tablecloths look warmer than black coats, right!"
Kazami Yoshiki chuckled, "Hey, hey, don't tell me that's the answer you're giving?"
Because the heating was on in the room, Hissashi also quietly poked its head out from Chi Feichei's collar, looking at Kazami Yoshiki's triumphant and mocking smile. It really wanted to rush up and bite him, and it actually started asking for Chi Feichei's opinion, "He's so annoying! Master, can I bite... him... hey?"
When Hissashi looked up at Chi Feichei from his collar, it froze.
Chi Feichei lowered his eyes, his expression still calm and indifferent, looking the same as usual. However, from Hissashi's upward angle, it could clearly see the excitement, playfulness, and sinister intent that Chi Feichei was desperately suppressing in his eyes. It was like black ink dripping into purple Pond Water and being stirred frantically, making it have no doubt that Chi Feichei might pull out a scythe in the next second and chop everyone present into pieces.
This kind of gaze was a little familiar. He had seen this kind of gaze from his Master before, when they were in the Small House with Gin, waiting for Ai to Call, and before going to the Twin Towers Building for Sniping...
Could it be that his Master's Nerves were misfiring? Was his Stance skewed again?
"Cough, Master, control yourself," Hissashi quickly reminded, "If this continues, the Organization Aura will be exposed..."
Chi Feichei closed his eyes briefly, and the emotion in his heart, whether it was Expectation or excitement, was completely eliminated in the next second, returning to calmness.
Hissashi was right, he almost exposed his Aura.
However, he had discovered something interesting, so interesting that even the Three-No Cheat couldn't suppress the emotions surging in his Heart.
Is this Role-playing Mystery Game difficult?
Not at all.
Because it was a Program, the Crime Scene was not as complicated as a real Crime Scene. The Key Clue could be seen at a Glance, and strong Insight was not needed.
The Weapon was a Golf Club, and in the Wooden Cylinder by the Wall Side behind the Table, there were many Golf Clubs placed there. One of the Golf Clubs with a Black Cloth Cover was slightly higher than the others, which meant that the Culprit first took that Golf Club, then suddenly put it back, and then chose the one with the white Cloth Cover.
In addition, instead of using a Black Coat to cover the Corpse, the Culprit chose a gray Tablecloth. The Answer was already obvious—
The Culprit was avoiding using Black.
Why? Disgust?
No, if it was disgust for Black, the Culprit would not have Subconsciously reached for the Golf Club with the Black Cloth Cover at the beginning. Just like Mori Kogoro's Opening Remarks said, people Subconsciously choose the Color they like. That Opening Remarks was the biggest Hint.
Therefore, the Culprit was the Hostess played by Amashiro Ruri, wearing a Black Dress. She Subconsciously chose the Golf Club with the Black Cloth Cover when committing the crime, then realized that this was her favorite Color. To avoid being suspected, she began to avoid using Black objects, putting the Golf Club with the Black Cloth Cover that she had originally taken out back, and choosing a gray Tablecloth to cover the Corpse instead of a Black Coat was also for this Reason.
When committing a crime, the Culprit often considers many things, but unknowingly, the more they consider, the more detailed they think, the more likely those details they desperately try to make up for will expose themselves.
This was a Question that anyone with a little Reasoning Ability could Deduce.
Mori Kogoro could know the Culprit of the Real Incident afterwards, his Ability could not be so low that he couldn't even see this Answer.
To take a step back, Mori Kogoro had recited the Key Opening Remarks many times and memorized them. The Clue was obvious and concise, clearly related to 'favorite Color'. Even if he couldn't Say the completely Correct Answer, if he was even slightly reliable and touched the edge of the Answer, he wouldn't have triggered such strong Emotions in him.
Was his Teacher pretending to be stupid even though he clearly knew the Answer? Possible.
It was also Possible that Mori Kogoro didn't bother to Think at all and was just talking nonsense. The gap between Mori Kogoro's Reasoning Level in an unserious State and a serious State was too big.
But if it was the latter, it would also mean that his Teacher was not serious and didn't take other people's provocations or the Detective's Reputation to Heart at all.
Not caring about other people's provocations, that was Correct. His Teacher was sometimes silly and had a big Heart.
Not caring about the Detective's Reputation, that also made sense. Sometimes Mori Kogoro was very much a Slacker, indulging in eating, drinking, gambling, and prostitution, and he didn't care about the Home's expenses at all.
Everything seemed to fit Mori Kogoro's Personality and Style, but Mori Kogoro himself was a very responsible person. He loved his Wife and Daughter. When Matters involved people he Valued, he would become serious...
Would such a person not care if his Home was running out of Rice? Would he not care if he had disappointed his Daughter?
Mori Kogoro cared, and sometimes he would Worry about his 'Detective Career' not improving, but sometimes he seemed not to care whether things would be ruined.
A contradictory Point that didn't make sense appeared, which proved that there was a Problem!
Such a Man could be broad-minded and have a carefree Personality to the point of not caring about other people's provocations, but if he didn't really Value even the Reputation of the Detective Livelihood that supported his family, wouldn't that mean that Mori Kogoro had a more important Career in his Heart that he was carrying out?
Chi Feichei's Momentary Change in Emotion was not noticed by anyone. Everyone was paying Attention to Kazami Yoshiki, who was deliberately making things difficult, and Mori Kogoro, who seemed to be falling into a disadvantageous situation.
"Father, why do you Think gray looks warmer than Black?" Mouri Ran asked Mori Kogoro in a Speechless low voice.
This Answer was too nonsensical!
"Huh?" Mori Kogoro looked puzzled, "Don't you Think so?"
Mouri Ran turned her Gaze to Chi Feichei for help.
Chi Feichei had completely regained his calmness, "Because Teacher's Wife said gray looks warmer than Black."
"I didn't mean to Say..." Mouri Ran was Stunned, with Dou Dou Eyes.
Oh right, she asked 'why Mori Kogoro would Think gray looks warmer than Black', so Chi Feichei's Answer was Correct, no Problem at all.
Mori Kogoro looked at Chi Feichei in surprise, "How did you kid know that?"
"A Few Days Ago, Teacher's Wife read Field Group Fashion Magazine and made a Phone Call to Ask me when it could be sold in Japan, Saying that gray looked very warm and she liked the Morandi Color Scheme very much," Chi Feichei explained, "So I Think, it Should be because Teacher's Wife felt that gray was warm that Teacher would Think so."
"Really?" Mouri Ran's Attention was diverted, "So it was because of Mother!"
"It's not because of that Woman who is so strong and has no Femininity at all!" Mori Kogoro retorted stubbornly.
Conan: "..."
Hey, hey, doesn't anyone feel like we're off-topic?
Amashiro Ruri couldn't help but add, "That Color Scheme is indeed very Suitable for someone as calm as Eri, it's not surprising that she would like it."
"Actually, many Colors are quite good-looking," Hohara Kasumi also couldn't help but Say.
Conan gave a Half-Moon Eyes look, hey, hey...
"Hey!" Kazami Yoshiki, who had been left hanging for a long time, interrupted unhappily, "Mr. Mouri, you're not planning to use this kind of joking Method to muddle through, are you?"
Chi Feichei Reached Out and patted Conan's Head.
Conan Understood, and shot an Anesthetic Needle into the back of Mori Kogoro's neck.
Okay, he still had to do it.
Mori Kogoro Spun in place, staggered, and fell back onto the Chair.
The Staff around him brightened their Eyes, "It's here, Sleeping Kogoro!"
Conan hid behind the Chair and used the Bow Tie Voice Changer to Say, "Cough, of course I didn't want to muddle through, it's just that this Mystery Play is too simple, making me unable to resist wanting to Prank a bit. Since you are so eager to know the Answer, then I will formally begin..."
"Simple?" Kazami Yoshiki was Stunned.
"In short, the Culprit didn't choose to use a Coat to cover the Corpse, but chose to use a Tablecloth, because they didn't want to use their favorite Black..."
Conan began Reasoning in Mori Kogoro's voice.
The Clues were clear and not complicated, and the Opening Remarks were completely a Hint. This was a Bonus Question!
After Reasoning, Conan stepped hard on Mori Kogoro's Foot.
"Ouch!" Mori Kogoro was awakened by the Pain.
"I was right, wasn't I?" Conan quickly said in Mori Kogoro's voice, and slipped out from behind the Chair.
Mori Kogoro looked around in confusion.
Chi Feichei: "..."
He Should be able to distinguish whether these were his own Words, right?
"Amazing," Hohara Kasumi clapped and exclaimed, "Truly worthy of being Sleeping Kogoro!"
"What you said is completely Correct!" Nagumo Akira, who played the Butler, also laughed.
"Huh?" Mori Kogoro looked Stunned.
The Director was also clapping, "What a wonderful Deduction!"
Other Staff also sent Applause with a crackling sound.
Amashiro Ruri laughed, "You are truly worthy of your Reputation, Kogoro!"
"Really, if you had been this serious from the beginning, wouldn't it have been Better..." Although Mouri Ran was complaining, the Pride in her Heart was also undisguisedly reflected in the Smile on her Face.
Nagumo Nobuharu, who was lying on the Ground playing the Corpse, also turned his Head and said, "Real Detectives are indeed extraordinary..."
Kazami Yoshiki saw that he had not stumped Mori Kogoro, but instead made Mori Kogoro take the Limelight and become the Focus of everyone, and gritted his Teeth secretly. Suddenly, he stepped on Nagumo Nobuharu's back as Nagumo Nobuharu propped himself up, "Hey! How can a Corpse move!"
"Ouch!" Nagumo Nobuharu was stepped on and fell back to the Ground again. After Kazami Yoshiki retracted his Foot, he struggled to sit up.
"What are you doing?" Hohara Kasumi quickly stepped forward to help Nagumo Nobuharu, "Are you alright? Nobuharu."
"Oh..." Kazami Yoshiki said in a weird tone, "Kasumi, have you gotten tired of that Scriptwriter again and taken a fancy to this Fellow, is that right?"
Hohara Kasumi looked at Kazami Yoshiki in surprise.
Kazami Yoshiki laughed, "I forgot, you are a Woman who throws people away after using them..."
"Hey," Nagumo Akira was annoyed and stepped forward to grab Kazami Yoshiki's Collar, "You better restrain yourself!"
"You Old Man, how dare you talk to me like this?" Kazami Yoshiki stared at Nagumo Akira without any fear, full of Malice, "I know, you've been Dating a Lover who is very different in Age from you every Night recently!"
Nagumo Akira was Stunned, and his Hand Subsided Subconsciously.
"Although I don't have concrete Evidence yet..." Kazami Yoshiki said, glancing at Amashiro Ruri who was standing Aside, "However, I can probably guess who your little Lover is, and I Think she Should also be very clear."
Amashiro Ruri, who was being hinted at, stared at Kazami Yoshiki in Silence.
"Hey, why are you all looking at me with this kind of Gaze? Are you not afraid that this Program will not be able to continue filming?" Kazami Yoshiki glanced at the Staff who were Staring at him, turned around and walked towards the Entrance, "Humph! Mood is terrible! I'm going to the Inside the Room to sleep for a while to see if my Mood will get Better. You guys shoot the Scenes without me first!"
Everyone Watched Kazami Yoshiki leave, no one spoke.
Chi Feichei also Watched Kazami Yoshiki's Figure.
Smell of Death...
Confirmed, this Fellow is the Victim, definitely the kind who will die a cold death.
