Chapter 935: Are you treating him like a punch card?
"No..." Conan's panicked expression froze and vanished. He looked at Chi Feichei with a complicated gaze, sighed deeply, used his Watch Flashlight to illuminate and walk past Chi Feichei, entering the Abandoned Washroom. Seeing the gloomy and eerie environment inside, he sighed deeply again, his gaze towards Chi Feichei becoming even more complicated.
Chi Feichei turned back and closed the door.
Since he would misunderstand that he was on the phone, Conan probably didn't hear the content of his conversation, or even Otozawa Mami's voice.
Conan pondered how to talk to Chi Feichei.
When they first met, he heard that Chi Feichei had delusions and Auditory Hallucination, and he felt quite terrified. He had seen a case where the Criminal killed a Colleague with a good Relationship because of delusions and Auditory Hallucination. After getting along with him, he found that Chi Feichei only occasionally said some inexplicable Words, as if Communication with something invisible, or perhaps Communication with Heiji or other Animals. He probably gradually got used to it, and since Chi Feichei didn't have any strange Behavior, he didn't take it to Heart.
However, tonight as he came along the Corridor, he faintly heard someone talking here. Only when he got closer did he recognize that it was Chi Feichei's voice.
In the Old House abandoned for ten years, what was Chi Feichei whispering alone in the dark Washroom?
Just now he also comforted himself, telling himself not to overthink and not to be alarmed, because Chi Feichei might be on a Phone Call with someone, or had called the Police Officer Ambush downstairs to come up to Communicate Situation.
But when Chi Feichei opened the door, there was no Mobile Phone in his hand, and there was no one in the Washroom, then...
A chill ran down his Back.
Chi Feichei stared at Conan, feeling uncomfortable with Conan's strange gaze, which was very similar to the Stare of the Great Demon King Zhi Ming Fukuyama, "Don't look at me like that, what are you doing here?"
Conan felt that Chi Feichei's State might be a bit off, and he'd better not stimulate Chi Feichei anymore. He instantly changed to a naive and innocent Expression, Acting Cute in a childish voice, "I saw you haven't returned for a long time, and I was worried that you couldn't find the Washroom~!"
Chi Feichei was Speechless, extinguished the Cigarette that had burned to the end on the Sink, put away the Cigarette Butt, turned around and went out the Door, "Let's go."
Cold Wind poured in from the broken Window, and after the only light went out, the surroundings became darker.
Before leaving, Conan looked up and saw his dim and blurry reflection in the broken Mirror, sighed in his Heart, put his hands in his pockets and followed out the Door.
Fortunately, he had a strong Heart.
Anyone else would have been scared Crazy by Hissashi long ago.
...Late at Night, the lights of the Village Houses were gradually turned off, and the strange cry of a Bird 'coo coo' came from afar.
A Little Black climbed into the Attic of the Otozawa Family, rummaged through the piles of Boxes, found a Cloth Bag from a Box, carefully opened the Cloth Bag, and looked at the Gems inside with joy.
"You really came after all."
Haibara Ai said, walking out from behind the Boxes, opened the Watch Flashlight, and shined it on the Black Shadow, "Mr. Sakamoto (Sakamoto Shouji)."
Genta and Mitsuhiko also walked out from behind the Boxes, using Watch Flashlights to illuminate the person who revealed his True Form in the Light.
"We have been waiting for you for a long time!"
"This time you can't escape!"
Shoji Sakaki was startled, then got up, pretending to be stupid and said, "W-what are you talking about? I just couldn't sleep, so I came out for a walk, and then I walked into this House that looks very similar..."
Haibara Ai raised the Mobile Phone in her hand that was on a Phone Call, and Mori Kogoro's voice came from the Mobile Phone.
"Then how do you explain the Gems in your hand? Mr. Sakamoto (Sakamoto Shouji)! Those Gems should be the Gems that were robbed from the Next Door village half a year ago, right?..."
Conan hid Outside the Door, using the Phone Call connected with Haibara Ai, and used Mori Kogoro's voice to speak Deduction.
"Mr. Sakamoto (Sakamoto Shouji), actually you are the main Criminal who killed Eiji Nagakura and then embezzled the Gems..."
Shoji Sakaki quibbled a few times, seeing that he really couldn't argue his way out, he tightened the Cloth Bag in his hand containing Gems, waved the Dagger in his hand to scare away the Young Police Officer and Children who came over, and suddenly turned around and ran towards the Window.
Behind the Wooden Box beside the Window, Chi Feichei leaned against the Wall Side, visually estimated that Shoji Sakaki had entered the Attack range, and kicked out with one foot.
Otozawa Mami appeared Outside the window, floating in the air, "Give it back to me, give back Eiji..."
"Bang!"
Shoji Sakaki smashed into the Attic Wall, the mouth of the Cloth Bag in his hand fell to Aside, the mouth of the Cloth Bag opened, and the Gems inside spilled all over the Ground.
Only then did Chi Feichei Turn Head to look at Otozawa Mami Outside the window.
Why is it stuck?
Otozawa Mami: "..."
Big brother is indeed a good person, he took care of everything from finding the main Criminal, exposing the main Criminal, and arresting the main Criminal.
The Young Police Officer called for Personnel, dragged the unconscious Shoji Sakaki Downstairs, picked up the Gems scattered on the Ground with an Evidence Bag himself, just raised his head to say thank you, and found that Chi Feichei and the Children had already disappeared, scratched his Head in Doubt, and continued Packing Up.
Downstairs, Ayumi was draped in a White Cloak, standing with her Back to the Window, and immediately Turned Head when she heard Footsteps, "Conan! Everyone!"
Conan ran to the front, Stop Walking, and smiled, "You did a great job, Ayumi!"
"Your Acting Skill was truly amazing just now!" Mitsuhiko also praised.
Chi Feichei walked at the end, looked up at the Window of the House Attic.
Conan actually saw Otozawa Mami who appeared as Ayumi, how many degrees of myopia is this?
Outside the Attic, Otozawa Mami showed Chi Feichei a sweet smile, and her Figure slowly dissipated.
"What Acting Skill?" Ayumi looked at Conan in Doubt, "I have been standing here quietly just now."
"But, just now that..."
Genta was interrupted by Mitsuhiko's exclamation before he could finish speaking.
"Ah!" Mitsuhiko pointed at the White Shadow Outside the Attic Window, and said with a terrified Expression, "Y-you guys look at that!"
Otozawa Mami's Figure has already Integrated into the White Mist. Conan looked up and looked, and said Speechless, "That's just Mist, you see clearly."
"Is it Mist?!"
Mitsuhiko and Genta looked again, and found that it was really a ball of White Mist that was about to dissipate.
"This is called the Brocken Spectre phenomenon. This is a light phenomenon where light is reflected through Clouds and Mist, and diffraction and interference occur in the Water Drop in the Clouds and Mist, and finally form a Circle Rainbow halo. The halo often includes the Shadow of the observer himself. Some places will regard it as Buddha's Light." After Haibara Ai finished her explanation, she concluded, "That's just Nature's Mist and Light playing a Magic Trick, projecting Ayumi's Figure onto it."
Ayumi looked enlightened, "Was the Mami I saw that Night also because of this phenomenon?"
"Correct," Conan smiled, "So, there are absolutely no phenomena in this World that Theory and Deduction cannot explain!"
Chi Feichei withdrew his Line of Sight, his Left Hand still in his Coat Pocket, his fingers gently stroking the Stone with rough Epidermis, the Name engraved on the Stone was gradually fading, and finally he could no longer feel the childish Lines of the carving.
It seems that Conan and Haibara are firm Science believers.
Even if he took out the Stone, no one would believe that Otozawa Mami gave it to him, and it is estimated that they would think that his Illness was even more serious.
Even if he showed his Claw, it is estimated that these Children would also look at him with a terrified Expression, suspecting that he was a Test Subject in some Human Body modification Research.
In response, he can only Say... 'Whatever makes you Happy'.
...The next day in the evening, on Tokyo Street.
A Black Porsche 356A was parked on the Roadside. Gin, waiting for Vodka's Opening, Sense that his Mobile Phone rang, took it out and Looked at it.
[Returned. --Raki]
Gin suddenly remembered something, returned to the Email List, and flipped through the Emails from Recently.
[I'm going to Osaka tomorrow to attend a Banquet, and I'll be back in two days. The Boss asked me to tell you that if there is anything convenient, I can help you deal with it. --Raki]
[I'm back, just arrived in Tokyo. --Raki]
[I'm going to Tottori tomorrow, for three days. The Boss asked me to tell you. --Raki]
[I'm back. --Raki]
[I'm going to Yokohama, at most two days, just telling you. --Raki]
[Going to Kyoto, for a week. --Raki]
[Returned. --Raki]
[Going to Karuizawa, for three days. --Raki]
[Returned. --Raki]
[Huis Ten Bosch, for three days. --Raki]
[Returned. --Raki]
[Guizawa Village, for three days. --Raki]
...
Is this treating him like a punch card?
Not even a work punch card, but a travel punch card!
And getting even lazier!
He really wanted to Say to The Boss 'Don't let Raki find me to check in every time', but he couldn't.
He really needed to know Raki's Location. If Raki had an Accident, or if there was something urgent in Tokyo, he could at least know Raki's Situation, whether he could Help or... where Raki died.
The Problem seems to be with Raki's 'Freedom of Activity', but can't that Fellow just stay in Tokyo obediently for a while?
[Resting. --Gin]
After Gin Replied, he didn't clear the Email. He wouldn't let his Mobile Phone fall into other people's hands. The various Passwords set in the Mobile Phone were also very Complex, and he also needed to keep some recent Intelligence, so he didn't need to clear it too frequently.
"Buzz..."
New Email:
[Sea Vacation, for one day. --Raki]
Gin: "..."
Damn it... Go to hell!
...Beihu Town a Car Repair Shop.
Chi Feichei didn't wait for a Reply, quickly pressed a familiar Phone Number, and dialed.
His Mobile Phone Email is cleared frequently, and he doesn't keep unimportant Emails, but he remembers that at the beginning, Gin would also Reply with things like, 'There is nothing going on in Tokyo Recently, I will contact you again if there is something,' and 'There is nothing for us to do there.' Recently, it's just:
[Understood, contact me if there is something. --Gin]
[Nothing. --Gin]
[Ok. --Gin]
[Resting. --Gin]
His Attitude is extremely Indifference and seems very impatient.
Gin has changed.
The Phone Call connected.
"Hello?"
"It's me."
"Ah, the Evil Child of Nature? How is it? Are you free tonight?"
"I'm free. I'm picking up the Car, and I'll go back to pick up Heiji and them later."
"Then I'll go rent a Yacht first. Dabai and Jubei and them are at my Home now, and I will bring them over together. Tuanzi's side still has to wait for The Zoo to close, right?"
"Uh-huh, I'll pick you up then."
"Then I'll prepare Dinner by the way. How about Hot Pot for Dinner tonight? Try my Skill."
"Okay, I'll contact you again when I get to the Wharf."
(End of Chapter)
Chapter 936 Hongzi Drunk to the Point of Losing Her Mind
At ten o'clock that evening, a Luxury Yacht departed from Tokyo Pier, gradually moving away from other Tour Boats and sailing out of the Bay.
After leaving the line of sight of others, a Group of People of burly men carried things onto the Deck.
Also surging onto the Deck were swimming Snakes, a large Group of Cats, a large Group of Crows and birds of various colors, two Black Bears... a rich variety of Species.
A Group of Men carefully avoided the running animals, set up the Hot Pot, and returned to the Cabin to bring out Desserts, Raw Meat, Fruit, Drinks, Clear Water, and Cat Food. The remaining two guarded the Open-air Swimming Pool, one reaching out to test the Water temperature and using an Intercom to contact the person releasing Hot Water, and the other setting up a Heater beside him.
Koizumi Akako, draped in a Fluffy Long Cloak, arrived at the Deck accompanied by Old Butler.
The Old Butler was also holding a boy who looked a little over a year old, Expressionless.
From a certain day onwards, the Style of their Red Magic Heir, Lady Hongko, had become a bit strange, but looking at the Development, it was good. At least Lady Hongko's followers were increasing, and they were all young and strong. Their Magic Level also seemed to have improved. The Key point was that Lady Hongko was much happier than before...
That was a good thing, right?
It was just that it was a bit much for an Old Person like him to accept all at once.
Sawada Hiroki looked up at the gloomy Face of the Old Butler holding him, worried that he would be thrown into the Swimming Pool in the next second. "Uncle, No Need to Hard, I can Go To Oneself."
"You're too Polite," the Old Butler squeezed out a smile, which looked very Strange, "I'll carry you over."
This was a Network Lifeform, a very magical existence.
Sawada Hiroki: "..."
He was even more worried about being thrown into the Swimming Pool.
Koizumi Akako squatted down in front of the Open-air Swimming Pool, Reach Out to test the Water temperature, and said to the two busy Men, "Okay, it's ready."
"Yes, Lord Night God." The two Men nodded solemnly and turned to leave.
After Koizumi Akako and the others walked away, she took off her Coat and threw it Aside, revealing a red swimsuit with a somewhat girlish Style underneath. After stepping into the Swimming Pool with a smile, she noticed out of the corner of her Eye that the people setting up the Hot Pot table were Looking over. She restrained the intoxicated Expression on her Face, returned to an Indifference Face, and Looked up at the Sky. "What a Pity, it's not Summer."
"If you want to come out and play, you can come again in Summer," the Old Butler said, placing Sawada Hiroki by the Poolside, not forgetting to hand Sawada Hiroki an Inflatable Dolphin.
"That's Also Correct..." Koizumi Akako nodded, and the next second, her Calm Face collapsed.
Hassashi Pounce and leaped into the Warm Water, followed by a large Group of Snakes also Pounce into the Water, white, grayish-white, grayish-black...
Koizumi Akako's Face instantly changed. She quickly got out of the Poolside, picked up her Cape and put it on, calmed down, and Turn Head to smile at the Old Butler. "Never Mind, let's go eat something first."
"You can do whatever you want to do, Lady Hongko," the Old Butler Looked towards Sawada Hiroki by the Poolside, "But..."
"I'll wait for Godfather a little longer, Don't Worry About Me." Sawada Hiroki took the Inflatable Dolphin and entered the Swimming Pool.
So what if there was a Nest of Snakes floating in the Water? Anyway, they wouldn't bite him...
Even if he was bitten to Death, it would be fine. Maybe Witch Lady could get him another Body after a while.
After Sawada Hiroki entered the Water, Jubei jumped into the Swimming Pool with his Son with a 'plop'. Tuanzi stretched out his Forepaw to test the Water, and also jumped in with a 'plop'.
Sawada Hiroki was splashed with Water all over his Head. Afterwards, he was passively drifting in the Tumble Snake Group, in the swaying Water waves, and among the three Bears splashing and hitting each other with Water. He Notice Koizumi Akako sitting among the Seats, watching him and laughing while slapping the Table. Expressionless, he Reach Out and wiped the Water off his Face.
On the other side of the Deck, Wu Ming and a Group of Cats just Turn Head to Looked, and moved further away with disdain, continuing to discuss Serious Business.
"Great Yokai Master said that you are willing to Follow me in the future," Wu Ming Looked at a Group of Stray Cats Chi Feichei had recruited from the Beihu Town area, and seriously Meow Meow Meow, "Then, I will be Responsible for you, and I will not be partial. Time will prove my Sincerity. As long as I, Wu Ming, have food, I will not let you go Hungry. Of course, if the food is not enough, we will find Great Yokai Master..."
On the Upper Level Platform Railing, Non-Ink watched with a large Group of Birds. After watching for a while, he Looked towards the Distant Dark Sea.
Wu Ming was still talking seriously, "If you need Residence, we will find Great Yokai Master. If you need a Soft Nest, we will find Great Yokai Master. If you need Medication, we will find Great Yokai Master. In short, when you lack Things, I will Say to Great Yokai Master. But there is one Point, everyone must learn to use human Communicator and Cooperate with the Crows to collect Intelligence..."
Crows?
Non-Ink lowered his Head and Staring at Wu Ming.
"The Base must be manned at all times. I don't really understand the Details, but I can ask Non-Ink for advice," Wu Ming Meow seriously, "But I Hope everyone can Go All Out. In addition, abide by the Rules, there are not many Rules..."
"Splash!"
The Sound of a behemoth emerging from the Water beside them made the Yacht shake as well.
Koizumi Akako immediately quickly formed a Magic Circle, protecting the Things and Creatures on the Deck, mainly protecting her pot of steaming Hot Pot.
The Orca's huge Head rested on the edge of the Deck, Looking at the stunned Humans and animals on the Deck, baring its white Teeth. "Hello everyone, I'm Hiri~ I Seemingly came late."
Wu Ming Looked up at Non-Ink above. "Meow Meow Meow?"
Non-Ink 'Meow Meow Meow', "It's Hiri..."
"It says hello everyone, I'm Hiri, I Seemingly came late." Xiao Mei walked out of the Cabin.
"...Tomorrow? I got it." Chi Feichei hung up the Phone Call and followed Xiao Mei to the Deck.
In a Moment, roars of Bears, hissing of Snakes, and Meows of Cats rose and fell on the Deck.
Translator Xiao Mei paused for a Moment, Looked at Hiri, and gave a Sentence summary, "Everyone is expressing friendly greetings to you."
Once Hiri saw Chi Feichei sitting down on the Sofa by the Deck, he didn't bother to greet anyone. His big Head rubbed wildly against Chi Feichei's Head. "Master, I missed you so much~!"
Koizumi Akako: "..."
She had a feeling that Child of Nature would be eaten in the next second.
Wu Ming and the Group of Cats had Indifference Faces, and silently retreated, all the way to the Cabin Entrance, continuing their meeting.
Terrifying Creature!
Chi Feichei let Wu Ming rub against him again and again before Reach Out and pat Wu Ming's Face. "I'll eat first."
"Okay~" Hiri obediently lay on the edge of the Deck, greeting other Creatures he had and hadn't seen before.
The Old Butler watched the chaotic Deck in a Cold sweat. When Hiri popped up, everyone else had decisively retreated, leaving only him...
Oh right, and Young Master Noah, who was drifting around in the Swimming Pool, swayed by the Water.
Sawada Hiroki took advantage of Tuanzi getting ashore, and only managed to escape by holding Tuanzi. When Tuanzi ran towards Hiri, he let go and jumped onto the Sofa. "Godfather, what were you busy with just now?"
"Yeah, it's rare for everyone to come out together for a lively Vacation, but you're still on the Phone Call non-stop." Koizumi Akako distributed Dishes to Chi Feichei and Sawada Hiroki.
"Someone asked me to Help introduce her to Teacher Mouri. Teacher Mouri accepted the Commission, but he said that Ran will be going to Karate Training Camp Recently. If he goes to busy with the Commission, Conan will be unattended, so he asked me to go over and take Care of him..." Chi Feichei Looked at the Red Hot Pot, picked up the Intercom thrown on the Sofa, connected to Communication, and said to the other side, "Send a Bowl of Hot Boiled Water up."
Koizumi Akako was eating Spic Food more and more terrifyingly, but Sawada Hiroki couldn't stand such Spicy Food Hot Pot...
Today's Gathering was something he and Koizumi Akako had Discussed. They gathered the animals around him to get to know each other and to make it lively. Setting the Location at Sea was to make it convenient for Hiri to come over.
Originally, he Intention to let Joshua leave later and call Joshua's Group of People over, but Koizumi Akako said that she wanted to drink some Blood to help the Excitement, and was worried about scaring those people, so he didn't call that Group of People over.
As for the people from Fifteenth Night Castle who stayed here to Help...
Koizumi Akako hadn't concealed anything when she was in Fifteenth Night Castle, and those people already knew about Koizumi Akako's peculiar Recipe.
An Hour after the meal started, Koizumi Akako, who had been clamoring to drink Blood mixed with Liquor for Excitement, drank too much. She slapped the Table and stood up. "I just want to eat the spiciest Hot Pot, drink the sweetest Blood, live in the best Palace, and raise the most male pets! Oh ho ho ho ho ho~"
The Old Butler was silent for a Moment. "You deserve to have everything."
Chi Feichei felt he couldn't bear to watch, and said to the 'Golden Eagle Warrior' who came to collect the Hot Pot basin, "Once you've Packing Up, arrange the shifts and go to Rest."
"Yes, Lord Sun God."
A Group of Golden Eagle Warrior had serious Faces, and Packed Up the Things on the Desktop at the fastest Speed, wiped the Desktop clean, and passed through Groups of noisy animals, and withdrew.
"It's so lively," Koizumi Akako leaned back on the Sofa again, leaned back, and Looked up at the Sky. "So many Star..."
Chi Feichei Looked at the Old Butler. "Send her to Rest."
"Wait!" Koizumi Akako sat up straight in a second, Looking at Chi Feichei with a flushed Face from being drunk. "There's one more Matter, you Promised to let me Check the Stone you got in Guizawa Village..."
Chi Feichei took out the Stone from his Coat Pocket and put it on the Table.
It seemed that Koizumi Akako wasn't so drunk that she had lost her mind, she still remembered...
"So it's this..." Koizumi Akako picked up the Stone and Looked at it, then Backhand shoved it into Xiao Mei's Body Aside.
Xiao Mei, who was sitting by the Sofa as a Translator, was stunned for a Moment. The Stone was like Cotton Candy, and was swallowed into her Body without any resistance. "Delicious, Thank You..."
Silence.
Chi Feichei was silent.
He was wrong, Hongzi was already drunk to the point of losing her mind.
And...
The Old Butler was silent.
This Stone smashed into the Head of the Doll in Child of Nature's Home, was that okay?
Sawada Hiroki was also silent.
After Witch Lady drank too much, she felt even more Mentally Unstable.
Aside, Hiri and Tuanzi were comparing the White Patch on their Bodies. Noticing the Strange Atmosphere, they also Turn Head and Looked at the Group of People by the Sofa in Doubt.
Hassashi and the Snake Group stopped, Non-Ink and the Bird Group lowered their Heads to Looked, and the Cats who were Preparing to go to sleep also Turn Head in unison...
In the spotlight, Koizumi Akako waved her Hand indifferently. "It's just a Stone used by the Way of Yin and Yang Lineage to raise Shikigami. Some people also use it to store Souls, and then borrow other people's Bodies to revive..."
Sawada Hiroki Looked at Chi Feichei. The voice of the child was very childish, but his Tone was very serious. "It's like my Soul staying Portion in the Internet to ensure that I won't die completely. It's an Opportunity to get Rebirth, can it be understood like this?"
Chi Feichei Nodded, and Looked at the Old Butler with a Neutral Face. "It's okay, send Hongzi to Rest."
The Old Butler Nodded and Step Forward to help Koizumi Akako. "Lady Hongko, I'll send you to Rest."
Koizumi Akako Get Up and smiled at Chi Feichei. "Maybe it will raise a Daitengu!"
"Sorry, Child of Nature Master," the Old Butler said apologetically, "My Lady Hongko..."
"It's okay, it's okay for Xiao Mei, as long as Xiao Mei doesn't die," Chi Feichei said calmly, "Hongzi's extravagance isn't just for a Day or two."
Tears streamed down the Old Butler's Face in his Heart.
Right on the Vital Point, someone finally understood him. His Lady Hongko was a true-spendthrift Witch!
P.S. Thanks to Little Zi for the extra chapter.
[End of Chapter]
## Chapter 937: I Want to Spoil the Family Fortune
After Koizumi Hongzi was helped downstairs by the Old Butler, Chi Feichei stayed on the Deck, listening to the noise of the Animals and chatting with Sawada Hiroki.
"Grandpa said that the headquarters of the New Consortium will not be located in Britain," Sawada Hiroki asked in a low voice, "Is it planned to be in Japan then?"
"No," Chi Feichei said, "It should be located in America, Massachusetts."
Sawada Hiroki frowned in confusion, "But, we don't have a Foundation in America... Even if the former Thomas Company had Connections, with Thomas's downfall, those Connections have also scattered, and not much will be left after Grandpa's acquisition of the Company. The cooperation with major partners before also needs to be renegotiated, while they have some Connections in Britain and Japan, and the Relationship with the Official side is also good..."
"Precisely because the Relationship is good, we can't choose them," Chi Feichei reached out to add Ice Cube to his Cup, Garaku Liquor, "Where the headquarters is located will benefit the economy and employment of that side. No matter which side the headquarters chooses, the other side will definitely have opinions. Choosing Japan, then the Queen will be unhappy. Choosing Britain, my Father's Relationship in the Japanese police and political circles will be dissatisfied. This is dissatisfaction based on comparison. The unchosen side will feel that in my Parents' eyes, another Kingdom is more important. And choosing a third party, lets them avoid comparing with each other, and there is also an Excuse of 'opening up new markets'. As long as we invest more in comprehensive trade and commerce, and connect the American market with these two sides, it will not only benefit us, but their Profit will also be improved, and they will become more and more supportive of this decision."
Sawada Hiroki nodded thoughtfully, "I Seemingly Understood."
Chi Feichei lowered his eyes and added Blood to his Cup, making another cup of 'Brain Matter' drink, and said softly, "Also, in the political circles of Britain and Japan, there are not too many people controlled by Conglomerate, and when Conglomerate develops to a certain extent, for Benefit, there will definitely be disputes and Conflicts between the two sides. At that time, the Queen or my Father's Friend will be in a dilemma, letting the Affection between the two sides fade in rejection and discussion. But America is different, political figures are backed by Capital support, and the tolerance for Capital is higher. And even if they can't tolerate it, without the constraints of past Affection, they won't feel too sad if they fall out."
"Do you Think that Grandpa and Grandmother intend to interfere in politics?" Sawada Hiroki thought for a while, "The former Shinchi Group and Field Group, Seemingly did not interfere in political circles, but just maintained a friendly Relationship with those people..."
"I'm not sure what they are thinking, but doing so is the best," Chi Feichei explained to Sawada Hiroki patiently without rushing to drink, "To set the headquarters in America, then Massachusetts, where Thomas Company was originally located, is the best Choice. Moreover, there are world-class Universities there, with a very good Academic Matters Atmosphere and excellent Talent in all walks of life, which is conducive to attracting Researchers and Talent in all aspects. There are many coastal Ports, which is beneficial to international trade. If we can develop there, there are many more Benefits. With the original Assets Foundation of Thomas Company, we have to try it. And the state Councilor elections are about to begin..."
American political circles are very strange, they don't need seniority, first of all, they need a candidate who is eloquent and has Charm, and secondly, they need Capital Promotion support to let more people know about that person, which is the so-called 'Political Donation'.
Occupying these two Conditions, you can enter the arena.
And after the people who accepted the 'Donation' are elected, they will reciprocate the supporting party behind them. This is a legal Behavior in America and is not considered corruption.
Such a Road, such a good Place, is worth venturing into.
"If we can get the people we support to become state Councilor, then it is Indeed enough for us to gain a foothold," Sawada Hiroki thought, "But that is not Easy, right? I didn't understand this aspect in Massachusetts before, but such a good Place, there should be many people vying for it. We are newcomers, can we do it?"
"When the Inner Network is established, with Ark, it will be much easier," Chi Feichei's voice was very low, "This is not a Gambling Game to determine the outcome in one round. Be prepared to compete term after term. If you lose one game, just treat it as exploring the Road and spending Money to buy Experience. Moreover, even if the people we support are not elected, it may not necessarily be considered a loss. Everyone is throwing Money into it. At the beginning, there will be fierce competition, but once it reaches the point where the expected Profit is not as good as the Investment, some people will choose to stop and choose to negotiate. The Difference is just which side will Benefit more in the future."
There is a Saying, there are no eternal Enemies in the business world.
There is also a Saying, eating Cake alone will only lead to death by gluttony.
Umbrella plans to develop in the past, and it is Indeed necessary to consider the Ally Problem.
Rushing straight over and Leaving the local old Factions to play by themselves is not a wise move, it is Easy to be beaten to death.
Sawada Hiroki pondered for a moment, "Do you want to Ask Grandpa about their Intention? If there is no unity, we can Discuss it. I also Think we can try Massachusetts. When I was studying at MIT, I heard about some amazing people, and I also heard about their Personality and Temper. Some of them I have even contacted. If there is Development there, it would be good to find a way to Pull those people into Umbrella."
"You Ask."
Chi Feichei handed the Mobile Phone to Sawada Hiroki, picked up his Cup, and took a sip of Liquor.
Sawada Hiroki calculated the Time Difference and Decided to disturb Chi Zhennosuke, and made a Phone Call.
"Grandpa, I am Noah. I am with Godfather. Just now we were talking about the site selection of the new headquarters... Godfather said Massachusetts... Okay."
The Call ended quickly. Chi Feichei just Reached Out intending to take it and say a few words, but the Call ended.
Sawada Hiroki handed the Mobile Phone to Chi Feichei in confusion, "Grandpa said that's okay, what does that mean?"
"They are also Considering it, no need to Discuss it anymore."
Chi Feichei explained, took the Mobile Phone, and dialed back.
The Phone rang twice and was connected.
"Noah, what else is the Matter?"
"It's me, is it okay to spoil the family fortune? I want Dumpling, that Giant Panda at Ueno Zoo."
"Wait for a while, it's not Suitable to talk to China about it now, and I'm too busy."
"Okay."
"Beep beep..."
Chi Feichei put away his Mobile Phone.
If he agreed, then it's okay. This Matter can't be rushed. At least it will be qualified to talk about it after Umbrella is established, and a large amount of Rent will have to be paid.
This Rent is definitely sky-high. Renting to other countries, the Rent is actually the maintenance of national and international Relations. If it is rented to an individual, it is definitely more than just Money that can rent it.
If Money could rent it, there are so many big Conglomerates in the World, and there are not a few people who like Giant Panda, wouldn't they have one each?
He just wanted to go all out to spoil the family fortune, whether to throw away Technology or to boost the Economy, his cheap Old Dad would Consider it.
Giant Panda are really expensive.
...
At four o'clock in the Early Morning, the Yacht docked.
Chi Feichei first sent Dumpling back to The Zoo, and then sent Wu Ming and a Group of Cats to an empty Mansion in Beihu Town.
That was the Stronghold he arranged for Wu Ming and the Group of Cats.
He was very clear from the Beginning that he was not Suitable for raising Animals that need Companionship, such as Cats and Dogs, at least not in the past two years, he couldn't settle down.
Heiji was an exception, Because Heiji can perfectly hide under his Clothes.
So he never Considered raising Cats. When he first met Wu Ming, he didn't have the Idea of adopting them at all.
Currently, he has taken over Wu Ming, and if he has to lock Wu Ming in a high-rise Building as soon as he Go Out, and lock them up for several days, it is Easy to turn Wu Ming into a Crazy Cat. It is better to let Wu Ming go out and toss around. Anyway, Wu Ming's Injury has recovered very well, and they can also Go Out.
After Koizumi Hongzi woke up, she began to arrange for the people from Fifteenth Night Castle to withdraw, and by the way, let those people send Dabai's pile of Snakes and Jubei and her Child back.
When Chi Feichei returned to the Yacht again, Feimo had also left with the Group of Birds. Only Sawada Hiroki, Koizumi Hongzi, and the Old Butler were left on the Yacht.
Koizumi Hongzi and the Old Butler went Home, and prepared to go to the Ski Resort with Kuroba Kaito and Aoko Nakamori and their Classmate in the Afternoon.
Chi Feichei left holding the Child, and drove to Mouri Detective Agency.
At seven o'clock in the morning, after Conan sent off Mouri Ran and Mori Kogoro, he was waiting for Chi Feichei at Mouri Detective Agency.
The Famous Detective propped his chin with one hand, turning the Television channels back and forth, wanting to Go Out but worried that Chi Feichei would miss him, so he could only wait boredly.
After waiting for more than an Hour, the Doorbell finally rang.
"Coming~!" Conan jumped off the Sofa, put on his Slippers and ran to open the Door. Just as he was about to complain, he saw the small Child in Chi Feichei's arms, and instantly lost his Temper, "Xiao Shu?"
Sawada Hiroki was held by Chi Feichei, grabbed into Chi Feichei's Clothes in front of him with one hand, was silent for a moment, and reluctantly greeted politely, "Conan... Older Brother."
What's with this unwilling look?
Conan was speechless, and embarrassed to complain about a Child who was just over one year old, "Brother Chi, you arrived so late, did you go to pick up Xiao Shu? How long will he stay here this time?"
"About a week," Chi Feichei did not enter the Door, "Go to Poirot to eat something, and then I will take you to Children's Land to Play."
Conan: "..."
Hey hey...
If they go to Children's Land later, Chi Feichei will definitely wait Outside. He has to take care of a small Child and Play with a Group of Children.
It was agreed to let Chi Feichei take care of him, is Chi Feichei planning to bring the Child over for him to take care of?
"I Think it's also good to go to Doctor's Home to Play Game for a while."
The Famous Detective looked up at Chi Feichei, smiling reluctantly.
Sawada Hiroki guessed that Chi Feichei was just having a Morbid Taste attack and wanted to watch them force a smile at Children's Land, and said with a serious Face, "I also want to Play Game."
Chi Feichei did not force it, and nodded.
Conan breathed a sigh of relief in his Heart, changed his Shoes, and Followed Chi Feichei Downstairs.
"Ding-ling!"
Downstairs, the Bell at the Entrance of Poirot Cafe just rang. Enomoto Azusa, who was cleaning up in the Shop, smiled and looked up to greet, "Welcome! Eh? Conan? Mr. Chi?"
"Older Sister Azusa," Conan looked up and greeted with a smile, "Brother Chi brought us here to eat something."
Enomoto Azusa stepped forward, bent down and asked Conan, "Mr. Mouri and Miss Ran are not here today?"
Conan nodded obediently, "Uh-huh! Uncle went to the Client's Place, and Older Sister Ran went to School to participate in Karate Training Camp."
"Then please sit wherever you like!" Enomoto Azusa turned to go behind the Counter, "Mr. Chi, long time no see. Although you sometimes come to Detective Agency, I have been busy in the Shop and have not had a Chance to go out and say hello to you."
"Long time no see," Chi Feichei arrived at the Location by the Window, put Sawada Hiroki down to sit beside him, "Miss Enomoto is more beautiful than before."
Conan looked up in shock and sized up Chi Feichei.
Did these Words come from Chi Feichei? Shocking!
Sawada Hiroki also looked at Chi Feichei in surprise. His Eyes, which were wearing Black Contact Lenses to cover his Purple Pupil, were bright black and bright, blank like a one-and-a-half-year-old Child.
(End of Chapter)
## Chapter 938: Conan: Thank You, Chi Feichei! [Bonus Chapter for Lord Meng Xiaozi Playing with You]
"Ah?" Enomoto Azusa was a little shy, taking the menu from the Counter, "Thank You for your Compliment. I'm almost embarrassed. But from what Mr. Mouri usually says when he comes to the Shop, I thought you were a very Serious person."
Conan Looked towards Enomoto Azusa walking over, "Brother Chi rarely praises people."
Chi Feichei said calmly, "I'm just telling the truth."
Compared to the last time they met, Enomoto Azusa had let her Hair grow into long, straight black Hair, which made her look younger and more adorable than her previous short, curly Hair.
Conan was even more surprised. He Looked at Chi Feichei, then at Enomoto Azusa, who was Smilingly Curved her eyes from the Compliment, and suspected that Chi Feichei hadn't Taken Medicine… No, he suspected that Chi Feichei had Taken Medicine, speaking so nicely.
"If you say it so seriously, I'll take it seriously!" Enomoto Azusa smilingly put the menu on the Table, "Take a Check at what you want to eat. Today is Sunday, and the Shop has quite a lot of Food prepared. There are Fried Noodles, Matcha Cake, Egg Tart, and Pizza too…"
The Food was all prepared in advance, only needing to be heated or cut and plated. Enomoto Azusa wasn't busy for long before she successively brought the Food and drinks ordered by the Three People to the Table. Taking advantage of the Opening after serving other Guests, she stood Aside and Looked at Sawada Hiroki.
"He's Xiao Shu that Miss Ran mentioned, right? He's really cute!"
"Thank You," Sawada Hiroki politely replied, then continued to eat Fried Noodles with his Head lowered.
"Mr. Chi, is it okay for him to eat Fried Noodles?" Enomoto Azusa Looked at the one-and-a-half-year-old little one, a little worried, standing Aside and watching, "Should I prepare some softer Cake for him? Or… make some Milk Powder?"
Sawada Hiroki: "..."
He wasn't that small, he refused.
"He likes it." Chi Feichei didn't Care about Sawada Hiroki anymore, lowering his Head to eat slowly and methodically.
Enomoto Azusa Stared at Sawada Hiroki eating, Stared at him throughout the whole process, and sighed in her Heart that letting a Man take Care of such a small Child was indeed not good.
Sawada Hiroki had eaten almost enough and wanted to take the Cup on the Table that contained Milk. As soon as he Reached Out, he discovered that the Cup had already been moved to his Hand Side, "Thank You, Older Sister, but I can do it myself."
"It's okay," Enomoto Azusa said Smilingly, "Anyway, there aren't any other…"
"Good morning, everyone Citizen!"
Outside the Door, a Car slowly drove past. The loudspeaker on the Car transmitted deafening speech sounds, "I am Baishō Shūhei, and I hope everyone can cast their precious vote for me, so that I, Baishō Shūhei, can have the Opportunity to create a Quiet City for everyone! Good morning, everyone Citizen! I am…"
Conan Turned Head to Look at the Car outside the window driving away, then retracted his Line of Sight, Intention to continue eating, "That Seemingly is a Propaganda Car for the Council Election."
Enomoto Azusa Nodded, "Yes, that Propaganda Car will recently pass by Outside the Store around eight o'clock…"
Chi Feichei gently put the Fork on the Plate, then picked up the Coffee Cup, Thoughtful, "Isn't this considered a Threat to Citizens?"
"Ah?" Enomoto Azusa was Stunned, "Th-Threat?!"
Sawada Hiroki held the Glass Cup of hot Milk, speaking in a childish voice, "Clearly destroying the Quiet of the City in the Early Morning, yet saying to give him an Opportunity to create a Quiet City for everyone, it's Just Like saying, if you don't vote for me, then don't even think about being Quiet, the Car will always, always disturb you!"
"Pfft!" Conan couldn't hold back his breath, and the Fried Noodles almost shot out of his nostrils. Although he managed to steady himself and didn't make a fool of himself, he was still choked into a fit of coughs.
Enomoto Azusa was Stunned for a moment, then couldn't help but Smilingly Curved her eyes, "I think it shouldn't be that Intention, right… Ah, By the Way, speaking of Threat… Mr. Chi, are you free today?"
Chi Feichei raised his Head to Look at Enomoto Azusa standing Beside the Table, "You're being threatened?"
"No, no," Enomoto Azusa waved her Hands hurriedly, Turned Head to Look at the Guests in front of the Counter over there, and lowered her voice, "It was two Days ago, I picked up a Weird thing forgotten by a Guest in the Shop. I was still hesitating Whether or Not to Trouble Detective Mori, but he Seemingly is very busy. If Mr. Chi is free, I'd Like to ask you, Detective Mori's Disciple, to Help, it Should be okay…"
Conan laughed dryly in his Heart. That Uncle was going to Help a rich person find Evidence of his Wife's affair today, and indeed had no Opening. Immediately, he Acted Cute and gave Chi Feichei Flattery, "Brother Chi is very amazing, definitely no Problem! What is the Weird thing that Sister Azusa is talking about?"
If Chi Feichei didn't Help introduce Commissions with high Commission Fee, that Uncle would Just go Horse Racing and play Pachinko when he had nothing to do. The Mori Detective Agency's Project was about to show a Deficit again, and the recent Food Standard was about to be lowered again… Thank You, Chi Feichei!
"Thank You," Enomoto Azusa took out a Mobile Phone from her Apron Pocket and handed it to the Table in front of Chi Feichei, "It's This Is…"
"Mobile Phone?" Conan Looked at the Mobile Phone on the Table, "There Seemingly are Stickers on it, the Pattern is very special."
It was a Flip Phone, with Camouflage Sticker on the Back Cover, Button surface, and around the Screen surface.
"Yes, I want to ask Mr. Chi to Help Find the Owner. I originally Intended to wait for the Owner to Call, then tell him that the Mobile Phone was left here, but Afterwards…" Enomoto Azusa saw Chi Feichei take out Gloves and put them on skillfully, sweating, "Mr. Chi, do you need to wear Gloves? That…"
"Don't be nervous, Just a habit." Chi Feichei didn't raise his Head, picking up the Mobile Phone to Observe.
He Seemingly had encountered an Incident again.
He remembered that this Should be the election black accounts existing in the Mobile Phone. Whether or Not to wear Gloves didn't Matter, but this Mobile Phone would be sent to the Metropolitan Police Department as Evidence. He didn't want to go to the Metropolitan Police Department to leave Fingerprint or something at that time…
Enomoto Azusa breathed a sigh of relief, "You scared me. I thought this was something from a Crime Scene…"
Conan laughed dryly twice, and then Asked, "Then Sister Azusa didn't receive a Phone Call Made by the Owner Afterwards?"
"Phone Calls were received three times," Enomoto Azusa recalled, "The First Time the Phone Call Made, after I answered, the other side Said, 'Huh? Sorry, wrong number,' and then hung up. Soon after, another Phone Call Made, the other side was still that Man, saying, 'Huh? That's Weird, is there a Ringtone ringing next to me?' There Seemingly were other people Beside the other party, and they also hung up quickly. When the Third Phone Call Made, the other party suddenly changed his Attitude, Roaring very fiercely on the Phone Call, 'Hey, hey, are you that Fellow's Woman? Let him listen to the Phone Call! I'm going to kill him!' Words Like that…"
"Kill him?" Conan's Face changed, and he hurriedly Asked further, "Then what? Sister Azusa, did you explain this Matter clearly to the people over there?"
"I, I was too scared, so I Turned Off Phone," Enomoto Azusa had Dou Dou eyes, embarrassedly fiddling with her Fingers, "The Next Day, I told the Boss about this Matter, and was scolded by the Boss, and then turned on the Power Supply and left it there, but no Phone Calls Made came in all Day long. Indeed, I Shouldn't have Turned Off Phone, right…"
Conan Turned Head and saw Chi Feichei sitting by the Window Side, lowering his Head to press the Mobile Phone Button. He suddenly remembered Belmode using a Mobile Phone to send Email in the Car that night, and couldn't help but be a little lost in thought.
At that time, he had already recorded Belmode's Mobile Phone Key Tone. As Long As he analyzed the Buttons corresponding to those Key Tones, he could know the Organization Boss's Email Address.
As soon as he Thought of these, he felt a little uncontrollably excited in his Heart.
Uh-huh, As Long As he analyzed that Email Address, he could let the Police Officer Seize the Boss of that Organization, and then wipe out those Fellows in one go!
"Any Clue?" Sawada Hiroki leaned closer to Chi Feichei to Look at the Mobile Phone.
Conan regained his senses, Looked at Chi Feichei, and waited for an answer.
"The Sticker was put on within a week. There are Indentation on the Edge, Wrinkles and air bubbles inside. It's not Professional, and doesn't Look Like it was put on in a Specially Mobile Phone Decoration Shop. The Mobile Phone is 90% New. Places where Personal Information Like Photo Album and SMS Inbox would be stored have no content. The Call Log only has the three Phone Calls that Miss Enomoto Said. There is no Caller ID, so you can't See the other party's Number, which also shows that this is not a Number stored in the Address Book. In addition, there are quite a few Numbers stored in the Address Book, but the Names and Numbers are not right. I tried to dial them, but this Mobile Phone's SIM Card Should be in an Overdue Payment State. After dialing, the Phone Call will hang up quickly," Chi Feichei Started Doing to disassemble the Mobile Phone Back Cover, took off the Battery and Looked at the Mobile Phone Back, "The Factory Information Sticker has also been torn off…"
"Factory Information?" Enomoto Azusa was Doubtful.
"That is the Sticker that can be Seen after the Mobile Phone Battery is removed, pasted inside the Mobile Phone. There is Factory Information on it. As Long As you know the Number on it, you can Call the Manufacturer and Ask them which Mobile Phone Shop the Mobile Phones in the Same Batch were sold in," Conan popularized, "Afterwards, As Long As you Find that Shop, Ask the Shopkeeper about what the person who bought this Mobile Phone Looked Like, and Check the Contract and Invoice for purchasing the Mobile Phone, you can at least know the other party's Name. And some Shops will let Guests leave a Contact Address, so you can directly Go Find them."
"I See," Enomoto Azusa Understood, and then exclaimed with emotion, "Conan, you really know a lot!"
"Ah, I heard Uncle Mori mention it!" Conan said Smilingly and Scratch Head.
This was the truth.
Uncle was still very good at Investigation of affair Commissions, and it was no Problem to secretly obtain Mobile Phone purchase Information, Hotel check-in Record and the Like.
Chi Feichei installed the Mobile Phone Battery, turned it on again, flipped through it, took out his Handbook and Ballpoint Pen, and recorded a string of Letters and Numbers.
"But," Enomoto Azusa was a little Distressed, "If the Factory Information Sticker is torn off, then you can't use this Method to Find people."
Conan discovered that Chi Feichei Seemingly was copying the content in the Mobile Phone, so he didn't disturb him, "Sister Azusa, do you still remember the Guest's Situation? Can you tell me in detail? No Matter what Matter it is."
"It was a Middle-aged Man wearing Glasses, a little Fat, and Not Tall. Because he was also playing with this Mobile Phone with Stickers while eating, I was quite Impressed. And…" Enomoto Azusa recalled, and suddenly laughed, "He ordered Fried Noodles, Beef Hash, Fruit Drink, Tomato Juice, and also Caesar Salad! Calculated, it was exactly 3000 yen!"
Conan was Stunned, "3, 3000 yen?"
"If he ordered other Things, it would definitely not be exactly 3000 yen," Enomoto Azusa smiled, "Because there was no need to give change, I was also moved for a moment, thinking he ordered it Specially Like that!"
Conan: "..."
This Clue… how Should I Say, it's quite special, making him have no Mental Preparation.
He thought it would be Clues Like special Things or Scent on Clothes, or some special habits or special Characteristics of the person himself, but Unexpectedly, Enomoto Azusa's focus was actually on the order placed by the Guest.
Really Dedicated.
Enomoto Azusa saw Conan Look at her Speechless, and was a little embarrassed, "Because Conan you Said anything is okay, so I Said it! But I think he Should be during Working Hours, so he ate more…"
"Working Hours?" Conan was Doubtful.
Enomoto Azusa Said, "Yes, because he Specially asked for an Invoice…"
"Invoice?" Conan hurriedly Asked further, "Then what is the Invoice Title?"
Enomoto Azusa said Smilingly, "Of course it's 'Honored Guest'! He ordered an Invoice even when eating alone. I thought, would he be an Employee or Individual Business Owner on a business trip."

(End of Chapter)
Chapter 939 Dark Account of the Election [Bonus chapter for Lord Meng, Little Azusa, to play with you]
Conan defaulted to Enomoto Azusa's Idea in his Heart, followed the Approach, and pondered while stroking his chin, "In Other Words, even eating alone requires an Invoice, and also Reporters, Detectives, Police Officer..."
"Huh?" Enomoto Azusa was a little Unexpectedly, "Do Police Officer also ask for Invoices one by one when they eat?"
"He's talking about Detectives who are performing Investigation, Tracking, and Surveillance Tasks..."
At the Cafe Entrance, Miyamoto Yumi and a slightly Fat female Police Officer walked in, "Keep the Invoices for Transportation Expenses and Meal Expenses generated during this Process, which can be reimbursed at that Time. Police Officer like us who Patrol in Uniform will not incur these types of Fee, so we won't Specially ask for Invoices!"
Conan Turn Head Look Towards Miyamoto Yumi, "Police Officer Yumi? Why are you here?"
"Because of..." Miyamoto Yumi took out an Invoice, the Project on it was Meal, the Address was Poirot Cafe, and the Amount was exactly 3000 Japanese Yen, "This!"
"3000 Japanese Yen?" Conan was surprised, "Is it an Invoice from a Middle-aged Man wearing Glasses and a bit Fat? Does Older Sister Yumi know where that Person is?"
Miyamoto Yumi didn't expect Conan's Reaction to be so big, "Kn-Know..."
"Great," Enomoto Azusa Look Towards Chi Feichei, who hadn't looked up, and smiled, "We can finally return that Mobile Phone to him!"
"Mobile Phone?" Miyamoto Yumi followed Enomoto Azusa's Line of Sight and saw Chi Feichei, "Mr. Chi is here too?"
"Uh-huh." Chi Feichei responded without raising his Head, indicating that he heard.
Miyamoto Yumi Half-Moon Eyes, "..."
Still the Same as always.
Enomoto Azusa smiled awkwardly, feeling that Chi Feichei might be seriously Investigating. Although she felt it was no longer necessary, Chi Feichei's seriousness made her not want to disturb him. She explained to Miyamoto Yumi, "That Guest wearing Glasses left his Mobile Phone in our Shop when he came here to eat. That's the one Mr. Chi is holding. I Request Mr. Chi to Help find the Owner's Information so that we can conveniently send the Mobile Phone back. But if you know where that Guest is..."
"You probably won't be able to return this Mobile Phone," Miyamoto Yumi's Expression was a little Weird, "Because that Person died the Day Before Yesterday Night."
Conan: "!"
Enomoto Azusa: "!"
"D-Died?" After Conan came back to his senses, he asked nervously, "Could it be Murder?!"
"You're thinking too much, it's Just an Ordinary Car Accident," Miyamoto Yumi's Gaze at Conan became even Weirder. This Child has been with Detective Mori for too long, right? He can Think of Murder in everything, "It was a Traffic Accident before 2 PM the Day Before Yesterday Afternoon. According to the Witness, that Person Suddenly rushed from the Sidewalk to the Roadway and then had a Car Accident. Although the Person was sent to the Hospital at that Time, it was already too late. We don't know his Identity, and only found a pile of Invoices on him, so we followed the Shop Names on the Invoices all the way, and only today did we find Poirot Cafe."
"Could it be Suicide or someone chasing him?" Enomoto Azusa asked.
"Shouldn't be..." Miyamoto Yumi recalled, "We asked the People Nearby afterwards. A Shop Assistant at a Convenience Store Nearby remembers him. He asked the Shop Assistant very anxiously, 'Do you Know how to get to a Shop called Poirot?' After asking clearly, he left in a hurry. A Person who wants to commit Suicide shouldn't want to rush to another Shop, and looking at it this way..."
"He might have had a Car Accident because he was in a hurry to come to the Shop to find his Mobile Phone?" Enomoto Azusa felt a little self-blame.
Conan also felt that it was Possible, and fell into a grave Silence. He Turn Head Look Chi Feichei and found Chi Feichei circling on a Map, and immediately became energetic, "Brother Chi, did you Discover anything?"
Enomoto Azusa, Miyamoto Yumi, and another female Police Officer looked at Chi Feichei in unison.
Chi Feichei didn't raise his Head, still drawing Circles and marking Characters on the Map, using his Left Hand to turn the Booklet towards Conan, "Mobile Phone Factory Information, and also Weird content in the Address Book."
Enomoto Azusa bent down and looked at the English Language Number combination at the top of the Booklet, "But, wasn't the Sticker with Factory Information torn off?"
"It can be found in the Mobile Phone Settings," Sawada Hiroki, who was lying on the Table, said childishly, "If it's not in the Mobile Phone Settings, you can go to the Folder to find the file corresponding to the Settings Entry. Some are hidden, some are not, but they can all be found."
"Then in This Situation, can we Call the Manufacturer to find the Shop that sold this Mobile Phone, and ask for that Person's Personal Information?" Enomoto Azusa asked.
"That Person's Information is not that Important." Chi Feichei Said.
Miyamoto Yumi, who had been curiously sizing up Sawada Hiroki, came back to her senses and said solemnly, "Mr. Chi, confirming that Person's Identity now is very urgent and very necessary! Although it's not very good to Say So, but we have to quickly Notify his Family to claim his Corpse!"
"No, Brother Ike Means, there is something more Important now," Conan See the Address Book that Chi Feichei copied, and then See the Circles Chi Feichei marked on the Map, and Understood, Look Towards Enomoto Azusa, "Brother Chi Said Before, this Mobile Phone is 90% New, and there is nothing left inside that can prove Personal Identity except for the Address Book and those three Phone Calls. And the Sticker was put on in the Recently week, and it was put on by Oneself, without going to a Specially Shop, Correct?"
Enomoto Azusa nodded blankly, "Yes..."
Conan guided step by step, "A Person clears the Personal Identity Clues in the Mobile Phone, puts on an eye-catching Sticker by Oneself, and the Key is that he also tore off the Factory Information. Don't you Think it's very Weird?"
Miyamoto Yumi pondered, "You Means, he Intentionally eliminated the Information related to Oneself in the Mobile Phone?"
Enomoto Azusa touched her chin, "It's Just Like knowing that the Mobile Phone will be picked up by someone, and preventing Personal Information from being See by Bad Person in Advance..."
Conan's Eyes lit up, and the final Key was also found, "Sister Azusa, where did you pick up this Mobile Phone?"
"Ah? It was Just under the Sofa where Mr. Chi is sitting. Maybe he wanted to put the Mobile Phone in his Pocket, but accidentally dropped it on the Ground, and then didn't Notice it, and kicked the Mobile Phone under the Sofa," Enomoto Azusa Said, "That Night, I heard the Phone Ring and found this Mobile Phone under the Sofa. That was also the Time I received the first Phone Call. When I picked it up, the Antenna was still pulled out..."
Conan Nodded, "Then that's Correct."
"What's Correct?" Miyamoto Yumi was a little dizzy.
"He Intentionally put the Mobile Phone here." Chi Feichei Said.
"Correct, if it was when putting the Mobile Phone back into his Pocket, and accidentally dropped the Mobile Phone on the Ground, then the Mobile Phone Antenna Should be retracted," Conan See Enomoto Azusa and Miyamoto Yumi Thoughtful, and continued to explain, "Ordinary Person would want to retract the Antenna when putting the Mobile Phone into their Pocket, right? Because it would be terrible if the protruding Antenna was damaged, and he Specially cleared the content of the Mobile Phone, Just Like Specially dropping the Mobile Phone here."
"But Why did he do this?" Miyamoto Yumi asked, "And, since he Intentionally dropped the Mobile Phone here, Why would he inquire about Poirot's Location and rush back to get the Mobile Phone?"
"Dropping the Mobile Phone here is to Let another Person get it," Conan's Expression became Serious, "And he cannot meet with the Other Party, and cannot Let the Other Party get his Personal Information. I Think, he Should Communicate with the Other Party by Email, and Promise with the Other Party that at a certain Time, Call his Number here. After hearing the Mobile Phone Ring, follow the Ringtone to find the Mobile Phone. Putting on the Sticker is also to facilitate the Other Party to find the Mobile Phone and distinguish it from other Mobile Phones."
Enomoto Azusa Understood, "No wonder when the Other Party made the second Phone Call, they mentioned whether they heard the Mobile Phone Ring. Then the Man who made the third Phone Call was very Angry. That Should be because he felt that he was cheated by that Mr. wearing Glasses, right?"
"Correct," Conan Nodded, and continued, "The Person who was going to Come Over to get the Mobile Phone Should have found the wrong Place, and this Mobile Phone happened to be picked up by Older Sister Azusa, which is why This Situation happened. And after he knew that the Other Party did not get the Mobile Phone, he would rush back to get it, Should be because there is Important Information in the Mobile Phone, and he is Worried about being See by Others."
"Could it be Extortion?" Miyamoto Yumi Said.
"Very Possible," Conan Look Towards the Map that Chi Feichei was marking, "The Clue left in this Mobile Phone is probably..."
Chi Feichei was still busy, and did not Cooperate with Conan to take over the Words.
"Is probably?" Miyamoto Yumi and Enomoto Azusa looked at Conan curiously.
Conan Half-Moon Eyes Chi Feichei, he left the Important Place for Chi Feichei to Say, but Chi Feichei didn't Cooperate, Speechless Said, "It's probably the Ledger of Election Bribery."
"Ah?" Enomoto Azusa was surprised.
"Is there this in the Mobile Phone?" Miyamoto Yumi also quickly Look Towards the Mobile Phone on the Table.
"It's the Information hidden in the Address Book," Conan Once Seeing that Chi Feichei didn't Intention to Reasoning again, he could only go up by Oneself, pointing to the Address Book Information that Chi Feichei copied, "Look, aren't these Names very Weird?"
"Xianqiao Shop, Omawatari Reside," Miyamoto Yumi bent down and looked at the Records on the Booklet, "Aida Constr..."
Enomoto Azusa also gathered Beside and followed to See, "Ishizawa Manu... Seemingly a bit Weird..."
"They are Place Names." Sawada Hiroki reminded.
Conan had already picked up the Mobile Phone on the Table and was looking through the content inside, "They all have Tokyo Place Names, In Other Words, Xianqiao Shop may refer to Xianqiao Shopping Mall, Omawatari Reside refers to Omawatari Neighborhood Committee, Aida Constr is Aida Construction, Ishizawa Manu is Ishizawa Manufacturing, and also, some Names in the Mobile Phone Address Book are also marked with Little Black Ink Dot, that Should be the Address where Bribery Money Transaction took Place..."
"So these Ink Dot are not left by Mr. Chi accidentally when copying," Miyamoto Yumi pointed to the bottom corner, "Then what about this? Why are there Suddenly only Numbers?"
The content copied on this page was obviously not complete, Just a small part. At the Beginning, there were Names and Numbers in groups, and in the last few lines, there were only Numbers like [1030, 1031, 1101, 1027...].
"Because there is no ten-digit Phone Number starting with 1, these Numbers in the Address Book have other Meanings," Conan finished reading the Address Book content in the Mobile Phone, put down the Mobile Phone, and pointed to the last Numbers, "Brother Chi probably Discovered the Pattern when copying, and has already sorted it out. The first four Numbers are from 1023 to 1031, and then it's 1101. There are no Numbers starting with the first four digits from 1031 to Before 1101 in the entire Address Book."
"Could it be Dates?" Enomoto Azusa Said, "1023 is October 23rd, 1031 is October 31st, and 1101 is November 1st, and there is no 1032 afterwards Because there is no October 32nd..."
"I See," Miyamoto Yumi Understood, "The end of last October to the beginning of November was exactly the Time of the Council Election, so the Numbers behind Should be the Amount of Bribery, right?"
