Chapter 975: All Drama Kings + Split Personalities! [Bonus chapter for Lord Meng's Orange Cat]
"I knew you were looking for Brother Hichiji," Suzuki Sonoko straightened up, looking at Conan with her hands on her hips, and teased, "But unfortunately, you won't be able to see him tonight."
"Brother Hichiji isn't coming?" Mouri Ran asked.
"He said," Suzuki Sonoko explained, "He said since tonight is just a preview, he won't come. He'll come again tomorrow night when Phantom Thief Kid formally takes action on the Jewel."
On a nearby Building Rooftop, Suzuki Jirokichi's hired helicopter team changed shifts.
Due to Phantom Thief Kid stating he would come tonight, the temporarily recruited helicopter team was also put into use.
"Thank you for your hard work."
On the Building Rooftop, a Driver in full gear nodded to the person greeting him and got on the Helicopter.
As the Helicopter took off, Kuroba Kaito, who had been hiding in the Helicopter in advance, then appeared.
The Driver temporarily turned off the Intercom and said in a low voice, "Young Master Kaito, we will arrive at Alpha Point in one minute."
"Understood!" Kuroba Kaito looked at the aerial photography displayed in the Helicopter, and pressed the Earphone in his ear, "Brother Hichiji, we will arrive at Alpha Point in one minute, we can prepare to take Action!"
"Ok."
Chi Feichei used Tool to hide below the Helicopter, already wearing a Disguise Mask of Kuroba Kaito's Face and having put on the Kid Outfit.
After the Helicopter took off, the Light in the Night Sky was dim, and plus, Chi Feichei's Kid Outfit was the same color as the Helicopter's white body, so no one could clearly see that a person was attached below the Helicopter.
One minute later, Chi Feichei heard Kuroba Kaito say 'arrived' through the Earphone, aimed at the Rooftop of the Building below, and forcefully threw out the Hook Rope.
The Hook Rope landed on the Rooftop of a Building, the Hook Claw was pulled by the Rope and slid across the ground, firmly stuck in the Cement Guardrail Side of the Terrace.
"I'm going."
Chi Feichei said, pressing the Switch at his waist.
The Mechanism attached to the bottom of the Helicopter closed, Chi Feichei's whole body fell downwards. Quickly, the Mechanism Framework supported the Cape behind him, and the formed Hang Glider not only stabilized the falling Speed, but also flew towards the Opposite Building under Chi Feichei's Control.
"Brother Hichiji, are you used to operating the Hang Glider?" Kuroba Kaito asked.
"It's alright." Chi Feichei landed on top of the Opposite Building and stuck another Hook Claw connected by the Rope onto the Terrace.
"You heard the calls of the Fans below, right?" Kuroba Kaito said, "Tonight you are Kaito Kid, remember to respond to everyone more enthusiastically, and don't let down those who are expecting the Performance!"
Chi Feichei put on the Black Robe, jumped onto the Rope connecting the two Buildings, and slid to the Building Center, "Got it, I've already arrived at the Building Center."
In the Helicopter, Kuroba Kaito looked Speechless.
I already said to be a bit more enthusiastic, but he's still like this.
He was very worried that a 'very abnormal Kid' would appear in a moment...
...
Just now, as Chi Feichei flew between the two Buildings, someone in the Crowd standing on the Street had already Saw it. Following the shouts, more and more People looked up at the Sky.
"Bang!"
At the same time as Chi Feichei threw out a Smoke Bomb, he tore off the Black Cape on his body and stood up straight.
"Ah——! Kid! Kid!"
The Crowd on the Street below cheered.
In the Crowd, Conan looked up and Saw the white Figure floating in the Sky, a surprised Expression on his Face, "What?!"
"Floa-, floating in the Sky..."
The Crowd became Quiet for a moment.
In the broadcast Car, Suzuki Jirokichi shouted loudly into the Intercom, "Don't be fooled, it's all an Illusion! He must be using something like a Black hot air balloon to lower a String and hang himself in the Sky. Helicopters nearby, immediately go above him to Confirm!"
"Helicopter No. 7, received!"
On Helicopter No. 7, Terai Kiichirou, Assistant replied in a suppressed voice, and drove the Helicopter above Chi Feichei.
This Method, the Real Core is still the Helicopter.
There were still two transparent Strings on Chi Feichei's Body, connected to the Helicopter. When the Helicopter arrived Above, Terai Kiichirou, Assistant stretched the two transparent Strings taut.
And the Hook Rope that Chi Feichei previously used to connect the two Buildings was also connected to the Helicopter, and was retrieved by Terai Kiichirou, Assistant and Kuroba Kaito.
In Other Words, after the Helicopter arrived above Chi Feichei's Head, Chi Feichei no longer needed to rely on the Rope connecting the two Buildings to stand in the Sky, but instead used the transparent Strings lowered by the Helicopter to hang himself up.
At the same time, in the Helicopter, Terai Kiichirou, Assistant and Kuroba Kaito would also play the Video synthesized from the Suzuki Foundation's previous aerial photography and Kaito Kid's Figure, to replace the current aerial photography and transmit the Video without transparent Strings hanging a person to the broadcast Car.
In this way, the Crowd below could not clearly See the transparent Strings in the High Altitude, and Suzuki Jirokichi Staring in the broadcast Car also Saw the synthesized Video. Plus, there was strong Airflow nearby when the Helicopter was flying, and other Helicopters would not Approach, so a Levitation Magic was completed.
On Helicopter No. 7, Terai Kiichirou, Assistant and Kuroba Kaito quickly retrieved the Ropes, replaced the Video, cast down a Beam of Light, and did not forget to report.
"Th-, this is Helicopter No. 7! There is nothing above Kid's Head..."
"What?" Suzuki Jirokichi Stared in shock at the Display Screen in the broadcast Car.
"Since there is nothing above his Head..."
Inspector Nakamori didn't finish Saying and immediately Turned Around and ran towards the Building next to him.
Conan also followed.
Then it must be that there are Ropes crossing horizontally between the Buildings on both sides Supporting Kid to be able to stand in the Sky!
The Two People quickly ran Upstairs the Buildings on both sides of the Street. Also acting at the Same Time were the Police Officer mobilized by Inspector Nakamori.
In the Sky, Chi Feichei said in a low voice to the Earphone, "Conan and the Police Officer have Gone Upstairs, lower the Helicopter's Altitude a Bit more."
"Understood!"
The Helicopter slowly lowered its Altitude Downwards, the Helicopter body was level with the Building Terrace.
Conan and Inspector Nakamori ran to the Building, against the strong Wind brought by the Helicopter Propeller, and ran to the Terrace Side.
The Wind was too strong. If the Two People wanted to See the Helicopter, they could only squint their Eyes, and squinting Eyes made it very difficult to clearly See a transparent String hidden in the dim Night Sky.
Furthermore, the Two People also did not Suspicion the Helicopter, they Just Speculation that 'Kaito Kid' in the Sky had connected the Ropes to the Building Rooftop.
After looking around in a Circle, and Discovery there were no Ropes at the Building Terrace Side, both were a Bit Stunned.
"None?!" Inspector Nakamori, against the strong Wind, leaned out from the Terrace and looked Downwards, and Discovery that Once Seeing he could See the Crowd on the Street below and Kaito Kid floating in the Sky, "There are no steel cables anywhere!"
On the Opposite Building, the Police Officer on the Building where Conan was also reported to the Intercom, "Police Officer Nakamori, there is also nothing here!"
In the mid-air between the two Buildings, Chi Feichei pressed down his Hat slightly. Under the white Top Hat and Black Hair, the corners of the Mouth of the Disguise Mask of Kuroba Kaito turned up in a Smile.
Once a Magic Trick is exposed, it will make People Think it is an unmagical scam, but Before being exposed, it is still very worth watching.
And in a Magic Show, it usually needs Warm-hearted Audience to Help witness, For Example, to Inspection Gadgets, Check that there is nothing on the Magician's Body. He straightened his Body, pretended to be standing on the Floor and stood in the Sky for a long Time, was Just waiting for Warm-hearted Audience to actively Come Over to Inspection.
Now that the Warm-hearted Audience has Already finished Inspection, Then the Performance can Also begin...
On the Building Terrace, Conan lay on the Guardrail Side, gritted his Teeth and looked at the white Figure floating in the Sky, and vaguely Saw the corners of the other party's Mouth reveal a Smile that seemed like mockery, and Also seemed like expressing Goodwill.
This Fellow... still loves to put on an Acting so much!
Chi Feichei stood in the Sky, found the 'Kaito Kid' Pronunciation, stretched out his Hands, the White Cloak behind him was blown fluttering by the strong Wind brought by the Helicopter, and his Voice was amplified and transmitted from the Loudspeaker.
"Ladies...and...gentlemen!"
"Ah——!"
The Crowd below emitted enthusiastic Screams and cheers as a response.
"Puff!"
In Helicopter No. 7, Kuroba Kaito heard the Movement, and the Calm Expression on his Face Before completely collapsed, "He...he..."
That kind of Enthusiastic and passionate Attitude towards Performance is very Kaito Kid, but very not Brother Hichiji!
Terai Kiichirou, Assistant Turned Head, Saw Kuroba Kaito looking like he had Seen a Ghost, and Asked Puzzled and worried, "Young Master Kaito, What's Wrong?"
"He...cough cough..." Kuroba Kaito paused for a moment, Tried Hard to Calm, "It's Nothing, I'm Just a Bit Unexpectedly, I didn't Expect Brother Hichiji to be like this..."
"Then there's Nothing Strange about it," Terai Kiichirou, Assistant Withdrew his Line of Sight, and Said Smilingly and Sigh, "He is Also a Student of Old Master Toichi, and of course, Also a Disciple Kuroki Jiro of Kaito Kid! Being able to Play Kaito Kid well is Also a very Normal thing, right!"
Sigh, he didn't Know why Young Master Kaito was so Surprised.
Clearly Young Master Kaito Oneself is Also like this, Once he uses the Identity of Kaito Kid to Appear, it's Just Like being possessed by the 'Soul of Kaito Kid'.
But he could Understand, the First Time he Watched Young Master Kaito using the Identity of Kaito Kid to Activity, he was Also Surprised and Thought it was his Old Master Toichi.
As the Legacy of Old Master Toichi, whether it's the Legacy of Disguise Technique or the Legacy of Magic, that kind of Drama King and split personality... cough, no, it Should be Said that kind of 'love of Acting, focus on Performance' this quality on their Bodies are the Same!
After the cheers below subsided, Chi Feichei imitated Kaito Kid's usual Warm and reserved Tone and continued, "Then, tonight's Preview... a Preview happening to me, please everyone watch."
In the Helicopter, Kuroba Kaito held his Head in his Hands and scratched his Hair.
Correct, he can Play the Play, it's Also Normal for Brother Hichiji to be able to Play the Play, But the sense of disharmony is very strong... completely unimaginable... it catches People All off guard... Also, he Really wants to Go Outside to See the Crime Scene live...
"Tap...tap...tap..."
At the Same Time as Chi Feichei moved his Footstep, with his Hand in his Pants Pocket, he played recorded Footsteps. Following the Movement of the Helicopter Above, he Step by Step walked towards the Rooftop of the Suzuki Museum, looking Like he was Leisurely strolling in the Sky.
Being hung in the Sky, But still having to imitate the Appearance of walking on flat Street, has very High Request for Limbs Balance, Stamina, and Performance Ability.
His Stamina and Limbs Balance are Definitely not a Problem, But for walking, he still Preview for a whole Afternoon.
Performance is not Easy.
When Chi Feichei walked near the Rooftop, that Golden Statue on the Rooftop holding a Gem was Suddenly retracted into the Mechanism.
Chi Feichei Stopped, pressed down on his Top Hat with his Right Hand, and Said in Kaito Kid's Voice, "Okay, today's Preview Ends here. Tomorrow Night at 8 o'clock, I will meet you all again at the Same Location."
"Bang!"
The Smoke Bomb Explode in the Sky, and the Beam of Light from the moving Helicopter shifted a Bit.
Chi Feichei in the Smoke Fast took off the white Kid Outfit, changed into All Black, and Concealment in the Darkness Afterwards the Beam of Light shifted.
Kuroba Kaito on the Helicopter activated the transparent String Mechanism, pulled Chi Feichei Up, and Opened the Cabin Door Below the Helicopter to allow Chi Feichei to enter the Helicopter.
Kuroba Kaito, Seeing Chi Feichei Safety Come Over, Then sat back down, "It Seems Grandpa guessed Correct, As Long As you Approach the Rooftop, that Mechanism will take the Jewel back into the House, Then We still have to Take Action from the Inside..."
Chi Feichei walked to the Vicinity of the Driver's Seat, tore off the Disguise Mask of Kuroba Kaito's Face on his Face, "Tomorrow Afternoon at one o'Clock, I will take Ai to visit Suzuki Advisor."
Kuroba Kaito was a Bit Unexpectedly, "Then you won't Go Together to the Museum with him tonight, right?"
"No, Ai and I will Go To the Museum First Time."
[For Lord Meng Donglou's Orange Cat], two bows!

Chapter 976 Suzuki Jirokichi: Get Out!
The next day, afternoon.
A Red Sports Car drove through the Main Gate of Suzuki Jirokichi's Home and stopped in the Courtyard.
Suzuki Sonoko, standing at the Entrance Doorway, stepped forward and greeted enthusiastically, "Brother Hichiji! Ai! You're a step late, Non-Ink has already arrived!"
Haibara Ai paused in the action of opening the Car Door, turned her head to Look Hissashi, "Non-Ink it...?"
Hissashi shook his head, indicating that he didn't know.
"Gaa!" Non-Ink flew out from the Living Room, still grabbing an Apple in its Claw, and Threw it to Haibara Ai who got out of the car.
"When I was having Lunch at Home, Uncle Jirokichi Called me and Said that Lupin found a Crow with Red Eyes. Because he Heard me Say about Non-Ink, he Called to Ask me," Suzuki Sonoko Said with a smile, "I knew it was Non-Ink as soon as I came over. It's really smart, it Actually found its way here in Advance!"
"Hahaha, it is indeed a smart Crow, and very Courageous. When Lupin discovered it, it was stopping On the Tree Outside the window. Facing Lupin's barking, it wasn't flustered at all," Suzuki Jirokichi followed Non-Ink out of the Door, Looked at Non-Ink stopping on Hissashi's Shoulder, his Eyes lit up, and when he Saw Hissashi sticking his Head out from Hissashi's Collar, his Eyes became even brighter, "That's Hissashi, right?"
Hissashi Nodded, just about to Say hello to Suzuki Jirokichi, when he was interrupted by a Dog barking.
"Woof woof!" Lupin crossed Suzuki Jirokichi's Leg and rushed happily towards Hissashi.
"Lupin!" Suzuki Jirokichi hurriedly reprimanded sternly, "Don't be rude to the Guest..."
Lupin ran to Hissashi's Foot, poked its Head to rub and sniff, begging to be petted.
Suzuki Jirokichi: "..."
So it was expressing welcome, he should have Said so earlier...
Hissashi Squatted down, Touched Lupin's Head, Subconsciously turned over the Dog Ear to Look.
The Body Shape was not too Fat or too thin, the limbs were Agility and the Muscle was firm when running, the Eyes were bright and energetic, without Tear Marks or Blood streaks, the Ear canal was clean, the Teeth had not been checked, but Suzuki Jirokichi's Dog should not have any Problem... Well, a very healthy Doggo.
Haibara Ai silently covered her Face, Brother Hissashi's Occupational Disease has relapsed again.
"How is it? Brother Hichiji," Suzuki Sonoko also Saw Hissashi's action, bent down and Looked at Lupin with a smile, "Is Lupin, raised by my Great Uncle, very healthy?"
Hissashi Touched Lupin's Head again, and stood up, "Healthy, and strong."
"Hahaha... I almost forgot that you are from the Department of Veterinary Medicine," Suzuki Jirokichi laughed loudly, "So Lupin can also See a Doctor by himself! Please come in, let's go Inside the Room and sit down first!"
Lupin wagged its Tail and followed Hissashi into the Door. After Hissashi sat down, it jumped directly onto the Sofa, occupied the Location Beside Hissashi, and started nudging Hissashi with its Head.
"It seems Lupin likes Brother Hichiji very much!" Suzuki Sonoko sat down on the Sofa opposite.
Haibara Ai sat down on Hissashi's other Side, Looked at it rubbing against Hissashi's Body, "Brother Hissashi has always been very attractive to Animals."
"Lupin, restrain yourself a little," Suzuki Jirokichi Looked at Lupin's Saliva dripping onto Hissashi's Pants, Black Lines on Forehead, "Don't rub Saliva on other people."
"It's okay." Hissashi Said, finally couldn't help but Take Action on the Doggo, lifted its Mouth, and Looked at its Teeth.
White and shiny, indeed very healthy.
Suzuki Jirokichi Saw that Hissashi didn't mind, turned his Head to ask the Maid to serve Tea, and Asked, "Boy Hassashi, although I know you probably won't agree, I still want to Ask, is your Non-Ink for Sale? If you are willing to Sell it to me, I will Take good Care of it. This Crow can Actually find its way here in Advance, such a smart Animal, I really want to raise one."
"Not for Sale." Hissashi refused.
"Then how about giving it away?" Suzuki Jirokichi Asked expectantly again.
Haibara Ai: "..."
Suzuki Sonoko: "..."
"Not giving it away." Hissashi refused.
"I see, Animals that you have developed Affection for are Just Like Family, then bring it over to play when you have Time," Suzuki Jirokichi Originally wanted to Touch his own Dog, but found that his own Lupin was still Acting Cute and acting spoiled with Hissashi, a little disappointed, and soon Stared at Hissashi with his big black Eyes, "Then how about Hissashi? For Sale? Giving it away? I raised Lizards in my early years, and have always wanted to raise a Snake. Not many of these kinds of Animals are willing to be so close to Humanity."
"Not for Sale, not giving away." Hissashi continued to refuse.
"Is that so," Suzuki Jirokichi Looked Regretful, "Then..."
"Great Uncle, what else do you want to buy?" Suzuki Sonoko interrupted with Black Lines on Forehead, "Brother Hichiji won't Sell them."
"I suddenly feel that I am very poor, and there are many Things I want, so I always have to try to Ask..." Suzuki Jirokichi Thoughtful Looked at Haibara Ai, "Boy Hassashi, then is your cute Little Girl for Sale? Giving her away?"
Haibara Ai: "???"
Is he talking about her?
Hissashi didn't hesitate, "Not for Sale, not giving away."
Suzuki Jirokichi Said with Emotion, "Pity, I am also relatively short of Children, and no one will Provide for Old Age and Death in the future..."
Haibara Ai silently picked up the Teacup and lowered her Head to drink Tea.
Are these people enough... Is her Meaning of existence Specially to Help people Provide for Old Age and Death?
Suzuki Sonoko Half-Moon Eyes, "Great Uncle..."
"Okay, okay, I'm Just joking!" Suzuki Jirokichi waved his Hand with a smile, "There's still you at Home, Sonoko, I'll have to Request you in the future!"
"Yes, yes." Suzuki Sonoko responded Speechless.
Suzuki Jirokichi became more serious, "Hassashi, are your Parents still well recently?"
"They are all fine." Hissashi gave a generic answer.
Suzuki Jirokichi leaned over, lowered his voice and Asked, "Is their Relationship still okay? I went to Britain before returning to China, and they Seemingly Cohabitation."
"Pfft!" Suzuki Sonoko, who had Just elegantly picked up the Cup and was preparing to drink Tea elegantly Like Haibara Ai, sprayed, glanced at Suzuki Jirokichi Speechless, this Old Man is so old and still gossiping, the next second, she excitedly moved closer, "Really? Brother Hichiji, then are Uncle and Aunt going to reconcile?"
Haibara Ai drank Tea with a wooden Face, but still quietly listened.
"It Probably still needs Time to adapt." Hissashi Said with a Neutral Face.
"You Help a little bit, Just Like Ran, take the initiative to attack and create Opportunities for them!" Suzuki Sonoko started to give Idea, "You can Help book a Trip Itinerary for Two, book Lovers' Restaurant with an ambiguous Atmosphere for them, if you know the Place where they had their First Time Date, it would be even better, let them go on a Date there, recall the good Memory together, and then they will Say to each other 'Actually, I have always had you in my Heart'... That's really too happy!"
The other three Looked at Suzuki Sonoko who was brainwashing herself to excitement, Silence.
"Cough, this cannot be rushed." Suzuki Jirokichi Said.
The four sat and chatted for a while, and drank Tea.
The Atmosphere was relatively harmonious, but the two from the Suzuki Family were enthusiastic and gossipy, while the two from the Chi Family were lukewarm and calm, with Neutral Faces. The Maid beside them felt awkward all over.
A combination of Ice and Fire, a bit Uncomfortable.
Also, Suzuki Advisor always secretly Looked at Lupin, who was pleasing and Acting Cute Beside Mr. Chi, several Times already, that little Gaze was resentful...
"By the Way, I'll Take you to See my Collection," Suzuki Jirokichi Saw that the Tea was almost finished, and got up again in a hurry, leading the way towards the Collection Room, "That's not ordinary Collections Like Gem, Antique, Famous Painting..."
Haibara Ai Yawned.
Very good, even Gem, Antique, and Famous Painting have become unrare 'ordinary Collections'...
The Collection Room collected Suzuki Jirokichi's Extreme Sports Awards, and the Trophy and Medal filled the Glass Cabinet.
When leaving the Collection Room, Suzuki Jirokichi Saw that Lupin was still following Hissashi all the time, Looked at Hissashi's Side, with a well-behaved Snake in his arms, a well-behaved Crow stopping on his Shoulder, a well-behaved Doggo following at his Foot, and a well-behaved Little Girl following on the other Side, Looked at himself with nothing Beside him, the corner of his Mouth twitched slightly, and waved to Lupin, "Lupin, you Come Over here."
If this continues, his Heart will soon lose Balance, and he always has a Feeling of being flaunted in the Face...
"Woo..." Lupin raised its Head to Look at Suzuki Jirokichi, then turned its Head to Look at Hissashi again, and still walked to Suzuki Jirokichi's Side.
Suzuki Jirokichi Squatted down and Touched Lupin's Head, his own Doggo is still good, it hasn't forgotten him, "Sigh, Hassashi, you Get Out! Don't come again next Time, Just let your Little Girl bring Hissashi and Non-Ink over, you kid is too Destructive to the Affection between me and Lupin..."
"Great Uncle!" Suzuki Sonoko Said Speechless.
What kind of Words are these.
Although she knew that her Great Uncle was joking, but Just after meeting...
Hissashi's Expression remained unchanged, "Tomorrow is the Celebration Banquet, when I Come Over, I will bring some Snacks for Lupin."
Subtext:
First, I will come again Tomorrow.
Second, not only will I come, but I will also bring Snacks for your Doggo.
"Hahaha!" Suzuki Jirokichi laughed loudly, stood up, "Okay, then I also want to See what Crow and Snake Like to eat, let the Chef prepare it, you must not lose to me!"
Suzuki Sonoko Saw that Hissashi had not misunderstood, and breathed a sigh of relief, "Really, don't Joke around randomly next Time."
"What are you Worrying about?" Suzuki Jirokichi led the way to the Living Room, waved his Hand, "I Saw him when Hassashi was one year old Birthday, I Saw him earlier than you Saw him!"
"That's for sure," Suzuki Sonoko had an Expression of 'I'm defeated by you', "When Brother Hichiji was one year old, I wasn't even born yet."
"By the Way," Suzuki Jirokichi turned his Head to Ask Hissashi, "Are you free to Take your Younger Sister to the Suzuki Museum to See me catch the White-Clothed Thief today?"
Hissashi Nodded, "We'll Go Over in a while."
"Then you Take your Younger Sister and Sonoko to Go first," Suzuki Jirokichi Said with a smile, "I have already prepared the best viewing Location, you can rest assured and wait to See it!"
"That was clearly prepared by me..." Suzuki Sonoko muttered in a low voice, turned her Head to Look at Hissashi, "Brother Hichiji, I will ask the Driver to pick up Ran, Uncle Mori and Four-Eyed Brat in a while, do you want to Go over together? Or wait for us there first?"
"We'll Go Over first."
"Okay, then I'll Call and tell them, someone will Take you to the Building Rooftop, and don't be Polite about what you want to eat, Just tell them!"

Chapter 977: Two Equally Bad Guys
Hissashi, Sonoko, and Ai bid farewell and left, separating at the Entrance.
Sonoko took a Car to pick up Ran and the other two, while Hissashi drove Ai to the Suzuki Museum.
The Suzuki Family's Secretary, accompanied by Bodyguard, waited in front of the Suzuki Museum. Upon seeing Hissashi's Car, she proactively stepped forward. After Hissashi parked the Car, she led Hissashi and Ai to the Terrace of a Roadside Building.
Many Bodyguard wearing Sunglasses stood around the Terrace. On the Street side, a large Table covered with a luxurious Tablecloth was placed, with a Parasol erected above it, and a Circle of exquisitely carved Armchair arranged beside it.
The Secretary led Hissashi and Ai to be seated, and the Bodyguard retreated to other parts of the Rooftop to guard.
"Please, take a seat, you two," the Secretary said, placing her hands folded in front of her and slightly bowing. Seeing Ai looking around, she explained, "The Buildings nearby have all been rented out by the Advisor. Last night, Phantom Thief Kid appeared in the air between this Building and the Opposite Building. If Phantom Thief Kid keeps his word, he should appear between the two Buildings again tonight. This is the best viewing Location, so Miss Sonoko kept it to entertain Friend. Please let me know if you need Beverage, but it's probably not possible to have Snack. The wind from the Helicopters is too strong and will blow Dust into the Food."
Ai leaned forward and Looked. Indeed, the sky in this Area was full of Helicopters, more than sixty of them, densely packed and flying in the sky. Sitting here, she felt like she was surrounded by Fans and being blasted by strong wind from 360 degrees without Blind Spot. "Then, please get me a glass of Watermelon Juice with Ice Cube."
"Okay," the Secretary said, looking at Hissashi. "Young Master Hissashi, what about you? Would you like Beverage or Drinks?"
Hissashi had no Idea of eating Things. "No Need."
The Secretary then Looked at Feimo, who was on the Table, and Hassashi, who was peeking out from Hissashi's Collar. "Then, would you like me to prepare something for your Pet?"
"No Need either, Thank You."
"Then I will go prepare the Watermelon Juice Miss Ai wants. I won't disturb you two any further. If you need anything, please feel free to tell me or someone else."
The Secretary bowed and Turn Around to leave.
Ai looked up at the Helicopters in the sky. "That Uncle is really generous, recruiting a Helicopter team and renting out all the Buildings nearby. Does he have a grudge against Phantom Thief Kid?"
"No grudge. He's just too bored and wants to find something to do," Hissashi also looked up at the Helicopters in the sky, then withdrew his Line of Sight, preparing to tell Ai about the Suzuki Family's Matters. "After being free from worries about basic needs, people will pursue Mental Pleasure. For Mother and My Father (Chi Zhennosuke), Career is the Support of their Mental State. But Mr. Suzuki Jirokichi is different. This has to start from before Mr. Suzuki Jirokichi was born. During the time when his Grandpa was in charge of the Family, the eldest son was a very outstanding person, and naturally, he was also cultivated as the successor. To prevent brothers from fighting for Family Property, the second son, who was Mr. Suzuki Jirokichi's Father, had no contact with Business Matters from a young age and only did what he wanted to do every day. However, his Uncle passed away unexpectedly, and the Suzuki Family lost their successor. At that time, his Father was in his twenties, and it was too late to train him. Fortunately, the youngest son, who was still young, was very talented. And so, after the youngest son grew up, he became the head of the Suzuki Family..."
Ai Thought for a moment, "That would be Sonoko's Grandpa, right?"
Hissashi Nodded and continued softly, "Mr. Suzuki Jirokichi is only a few years younger than Sonoko's Grandpa. During his Growth, he was also like his Father. Because the successor had been determined and was very outstanding, everyone in the Family supported him to do what he liked. When Sonoko's Father was born, Mr. Suzuki Jirokichi was already in his twenties, almost thirty years old, and Sonoko's Grandpa was in his prime. He was also not Suitable as a successor, so he couldn't vent his Energy on managing the Conglomerate. He had never been in contact with it and no longer liked to be in contact with it."
Ai Understood.
Suzuki Jirokichi had a Age Bug, perfectly avoiding all the Family Head cultivation periods.
In this way, Suzuki Jirokichi had no Opportunity to contact Conglomerate affairs at all. He didn't Understand, and probably played too wildly and lost Interest.
"When Mr. Suzuki Jirokichi was in his twenties, he had a hobby - he liked to spend Money," Hissashi Looked towards the Museum Building not far away. "His Uncle, who is also Sonoko's Grandpa, was fully supportive at that time, letting him serve as an Advisor to the Suzuki Foundation and spend Money as he pleased. The more Mr. Suzuki Jirokichi spent Money, the more Money the Suzuki Family had. Just like this time, when Mr. Suzuki Jirokichi was choosing the Location to Challenge Kid, Sonoko's Father suggested he do it here. This Museum was just built not long ago, and the Buildings Surrounding Area are all newly built. Mr. Suzuki Jirokichi bought the Front Page, recruited Helicopters, and made Things big. Now, there are few people in Japan who haven't heard of the Suzuki Museum. Even visiting the Museum has an added Meaning, which is to visit the Place where Phantom Thief Kid performs miracles. Before Mr. Suzuki Jirokichi rented the Buildings nearby, the Buildings had actually been rented out One Step Ahead by Suzuki Foundation Person. The lease term is at least five years, with the Intention to build a Commercial Street, culture, Entertainment, and accommodation Area. Also, there are Apartments invested and built by the Suzuki Foundation nearby."
Ai: "..."
Say So, the Suzuki Family really can't suffer a Loss.
Kid's Fan will definitely come back to savor this Duel, and people who know about the Suzuki Museum will also invite Friend to come and See when they have time. The pedestrian traffic may not be less than these two days. With the financial resources of the Suzuki Foundation, the Commercial Street can be built in a short time. By then, a newly built Area can suddenly become an Area with considerable pedestrian traffic and Consumption.
Not only can't suffer a Loss, but can also earn.
"No Need for Mr. Suzuki Jirokichi or Mr. Shiro to Consider. The Plan Department in the Conglomerate will Aiming for the Timing to complete the Solution. So, a person who can spend Money, dares to spend Money, and knows how to spend Money is really Important," Hissashi made a summary. He and His Dad thought Wilson was usable because Wilson had the courage to throw Money around. If he didn't have Money, he would ask the Boss for it. Profitability was something others should Consider. His Task was to throw Money around to establish the Umbrella Network Ecosystem. "However, Mr. Suzuki Jirokichi threw a Temper again. He could get whatever he wanted since he was a child. At that time, he wanted to squander Family Property, but the more he squandered, the more Family Property he had..."
Wealth, power, fame, and Beauty, he can have whatever he wants. Such a Life seems very beautiful, but it can also be very boring.
If it were someone who had never possessed it before, and suddenly had this kind of Life, they might initially indulge in it and enjoy it to their heart's content, but how many years can they enjoy it? Ten years, twenty years... One day, emptiness will overwhelm all the beauty felt in the Heart, just like being in a desolate wilderness. Tomorrow, there will be nothing new worth Expectation. They won't Understand the Meaning of their existence in the World and won't See the way forward and the way back.
In short, Suzuki Jirokichi had played all the things he should have played, and they were no longer fresh. He wanted to experience the Feeling of crazy squandering of Family Property, and he did try it. As a result, Sonoko's Grandpa expressed his position with Action: "Nephew, spend Money as much as you want. If you can bankrupt the Family, I'll admit defeat. Not only can you not spend it all, but the Family's Money will also increase the more you spend!"
"Mr. Suzuki Jirokichi squandered Family Property lavishly for several years, but the more he squandered, the more Family Property he had. He suddenly felt it was Meaningless. Every day, seeing Sonoko's Grandpa smilingly sending Money for him to spend, he felt a Headache. Coincidentally, he came into contact with Extreme Sports, just like opening the door to a new World. He left Japan and began to Challenge his Limit everywhere," Hissashi Said. "You've also Seen the Awards in his Home. He started from scratch, Learning, Training, and constantly breaking through. Perhaps it was because he was single-minded and had Perseverance. He quickly won the First Award and surpassed others. He suddenly felt it was Meaningless again and began Aiming for the second Extreme Sports. In this way, he won so many Awards and broke many records in Extreme Sports, such as the record for being the oldest person to climb Mount Everest. Initially, he should have just wanted to Challenge Self and break through Self, but after climbing up and breaking the Record, his Goal was achieved, and he lost Interest..."
Ai: "..."
Initially, she thought Suzuki Jirokichi was quite pitiful, perfectly missing the Inheritance because he had never been in contact with it and didn't Understand it much, and couldn't even Work. But soon, she realized it was Wrong. As a wealthy young master, not having to Work and just living idly is the Life that many people Dream of. But he actually went to work hard and desperately, won the Awards that others couldn't win, broke the Records that others couldn't break, put the Achievement of many people's Dreams into his Pocket, and then lost Interest in a blink of an Eye, running to cut off other people's Dream Road... It's simply outrageous!
If Uncle is pitiful, then there would be no pitiful people in the World.
Ai looked up again and Saw Hissashi's calm Face. She suddenly Understood why she had felt Suzuki Jirokichi was pitiful before.
Because there is an equally bad Fellow in front of her - "I just don't want to live idly, I just want to make Matters happen. A Life without Matters to do is too unbearable."
Just talking about her Brother Hichiji, his Cooking surpasses many Chef, his Reasoning surpasses many Detective, and he even went to become a Bounty Hunter. Currently, he is also the most famous Bounty Hunter in Japan. He is also good at treating Bone Fracture himself, his Airplane Technology is also good, he is so good at playing Game, and he also knows how to treat Animals... As a result, such a person still sighed seriously, 'Mr. Suzuki Jirokichi is really pitiful for having no Work to do,' making her almost feel that Suzuki Jirokichi was pitiful too.
Do these two people know that this is very likely to cause public outrage and get them beaten to death...?
"Even If Mr. Suzuki Jirokichi doesn't want to admit it, he is already 72 years old This Year, and many Extreme Sports are no longer Suitable for him," Hissashi continued, truly feeling Sympathy in his Heart. Suzuki Jirokichi, whose Life has no Goal and is lost during this Period, is pitiful. And it is also a Regret that he clearly has a Goal, but the Matter is not finished and he is old. "The Suzuki Family is worried about him doing Extreme Sports Outside. He also Understands that he Should be more settled. At the same time, being Older, he probably wants to spend more time Getting Along with Family..."
"In Other Words, he came back because of the Suzuki Family's Intention, and he himself also Discovered that he Should come back," Ai summarized with Half-Moon Eyes. "But after he came back, he still couldn't stay put. He wanted to continue to Challenge, so he chose 'Catching Kid' as a Goal. He will go all out, but the more he can't catch Kid, the happier he will be in his Heart. He also doesn't want Kid to be easily caught by him. Otherwise, he will have to find a new Challenge Goal, which is not easy."
Hissashi Nodded and Said again, "He also has another Purpose for coming back, to create momentum for Sonoko."

Chapter 978 Conan: Suspecting Little Partner Has Fallen
"Build momentum?" Haibara Ai asked doubtfully.
"Originally, everyone thought Ayako Suzuki would be the future heir of the Suzuki Foundation. Her personality is more mature and she is more suitable to be an heir, but she got married," Chi Feichei explained, "Sonoko is already seventeen years old This Year. Previously, her Older Sister was regarded as the heir, but now suddenly telling others that Sonoko is the future heir, even if no trouble arises, the Executives and Partners of the Conglomerate will doubt whether Sonoko is capable. Moreover, Sonoko rarely appeared in public as Miss Suzuki before. Then, before Sonoko formally takes over the Conglomerate, someone needs to put her in the Limelight and build momentum for her. In a few years, when she takes over the Conglomerate, it will go much smoother, and everyone will take it for granted, which can avoid a lot of unnecessary trouble."
"I See," Haibara Ai said thoughtfully, "So it seems, this time, accompanying Uncle Jirokichi on television has always been Sonoko, and no one else from the Suzuki Family has been involved..."
"There will be more in the future," Chi Feichei judged, "until Sonoko's Limelight overshadows Ayako."
"Then what about you?" Haibara Ai looked at Chi Feichei, "Do you need someone to build momentum for you?"
"I don't need it," Chi Feichei explained, "I am naturally the obvious choice, and everyone has already default assumed and accepted it."
If his cheap Parents wanted to establish another Heir, whether it was Haibara Ai, or a Second Child or an Illegitimate Child, only then would they need to build momentum, spend a few years to cover up the Concept of him 'rightfully inherit' in other people's minds.
And Chi Shinnosuke hasn't done nothing either. He promoted Da Shan Mi and reused Wilson, these two people who understand each other with him. That's just the first step. Afterwards, in approximately five years, he will make the new and old Executives in the Corporation all have Connection and Relationship with him, making those people believe in their minds that he is the Future person in charge.
As For the Field Group, his cheap Old Mom still seems to have a kind of Worry that 'my son won't live long', and is more inclined to let him live an idle life and wait for death, have fun and be wild, not considered the Problem of Power Transition. But Clean Up Internal of the Corporation is a Matter that has Benefit for both Development and Transition.
Of course, not doing these will also not affect Inheritance. Doing these is just to make the Power Transition even smoother.
Suzuki Family's Secretary served a cup of Watermelon Juice, which also halted the Topic of the Two People temporarily.
"Thank You," Haibara Ai thanked. After the Secretary left, she then picked up the Cup and took a sip of Watermelon Juice with a straw, "You explained so much to me, aren't you planning to drink a cup to quench your thirst?"
Chi Feichei took out a Cigarette Case, spun it between his fingers, and a Cigarette was easily flicked out. Unbeknownst to him, the Cigarette Case closed, "I had tea at Suzuki Home Just Now. Later, if you want to go to the Toilet, I certainly won't Keep Company you."
""Going to the Toilet this kind of Matter, when have I ever troubled you?" Haibara Ai said, biting her straw, aloof, proud, and despising a certain Famous Detective, "Only Edogawa will have someone Keep Company him to go.""
Chi Feichei, following Haibara Ai's words, agreed, "Also Correct, Ai is much more Independent than Conan.""
"Then do you have an Approach?" Haibara Ai looked up at Chi Feichei, "What was the miracle of Kid's Walking in the Air last night actually all about? Can we tonight..."
Chi Feichei Stare: "..."
Haibara Ai, being looked at by Chi Feichei's Weird Gaze, felt uneasy and stopped talking, "What's Wrong?""
Chi Feichei withdrew his gaze, took out a Lighter, lowered his eyes and lit his Cigarette, "That one last night was me. I accidentally give Phantom Thief Kid diarrhea. At that time, the Notice had already been sent out, so I could only stand in for him. Don't tell Others.""
Haibara Ai was silent for a moment, Get Up, leaned across the Table, Reach Out and pinch Chi Feichei's Face.
She suspected that the one in front of her was not Brother Hichiji...
Chi Feichei: "..."
Is Ai this mischievous now?
After Haibara Ai's Discovery that it was not a Fake Face, she then sat back down, Weirdly Gaze sized up Chi Feichei, and said in a low voice, "You being mixed up with Phantom Thief Kid, I'm not surprised. You two were originally shady. He Previously also played identity swap with you, creating the Pretense that you are not July for you..."
Chi Feichei corrected, "You can't use the word 'shady' here.""
Haibara Ai ignored Chi Feichei's Protest, "But Last night I watched the Broadcast at Doctor's House. That Kid... you... you..."
""If I don't act more like him, how can I fool them?"" Chi Feichei Say, "As For the Method of Walking in the Air, Kid prepared it in Advance, and his Assistant Assisted me in completing it...""
Haibara Ai's Attention shifted. As she listened, she then Discovery that something was off.
Chi Feichei explained the whole Method, and Also Say, "The Kid who will appear Tonight is also not the Real Kid, just a Dummy, Because that Golden Statue holding a Gem will be taken back to the Museum by a Mechanism. He will use a Dummy to attract everyone's Line of Sight, and Oneself Disguise as Suzuki Advisor, sneak into the Museum to take away the Gem.""
Once the Magic Show's Method is revealed, watching it will lack Joy.
The events about to happen Tonight are not at all attractive to him. He already knows the Process. He just Come Over to sit on the Terrace and get some air.
Since Haibara Ai Ask, then don't blame him for seizing the chance to spoil the fun and drag someone down to Keep Company him in being bored together...
Haibara Ai completely lost all Expectation for tonight, and Expressionless asked, "You are Intentionally doing this, right?""
Chi Feichei frankly admitted, "Uh-huh, yes.""
Haibara Ai: "..."
She Also wanted to drag someone down, But can't.
If she told Others, what if Phantom Thief Kid encounters Danger because of it?
Kid has Relationship with Brother Hichiji. Kid believes Brother Hichiji, so he told the Plan to Brother Hichiji. Brother Hichiji believes her, so he told these things to her. She absolutely must not tell anyone...
"Brother Hichiji, Ai!"
Suzuki Sonoko Come Over from the Terrace Entrance, still same as Previously, from a distance, she already greeted loudly.
Mori Kogoro, Mouri Ran, and Conan Follow and arrived at the Terrace.
The Secretary waiting at the Entrance brought A Group of People to Table Front, "Miss Sonoko, what Beverage do you need?""
Suzuki Sonoko sat down, propped her hands below her chin, rarely showing a bit of Young Miss's reserved manner, "Anything's fine.""
As soon as Conan sat down, he revealed an innocent Expression and asked, "Brother Chi, Why didn't you come last night?""
""A Little Black Cat at an Elder's Home got Ill,"" Chi Feichei said without changing Expression, ""It was arranged for me to go check on it.""
"I See." Conan smiled, and in his Heart, he also believed it.
His Little Friend is relatively fond of Small Animals, and the Cat at an Elder's Home got Ill, he also couldn't refuse, therefore giving up coming to catch Kid is not surprising.
Just speaking of Cat, he again remembered what Ayumi Said, that Chi Feichei adopted a sick White Cat, and also remembered Belmode!
Itakura Taku mentioned in his Diary that there was an Arrogant Woman who made a Phone Call to him, she was a Companion of the Black Organization. He once heard Meowing one after another coming from The Other Party's side, and The Other Party very impatiently hung up the Phone Call.
(End of Chapter)
"But that's Kaito Kid! I've always wanted to see him," Suzuki Sonoko said regretfully. "Originally, I even suggested that I sit on the Rooftop holding the Goddess Statue inlaid with the Jewel, but my uncle didn't agree."
Mouri Ran glanced at Suzuki Sonoko, "You wouldn't be thinking of letting Kaito Kid steal you and the Jewel together, would you?"
"Yeah, yeah, if I get kidnapped, Zhen will definitely come to save me!" Suzuki Sonoko covered her face with a look of longing, wildly imagining, "Ah, if those two Men Duel for me, what should I do~"
Mori Kogoro couldn't stand it anymore, turned his head to look outside the Guardrail Wire Mesh, "But such tight security is understandable, Kaito Kid actually walked through the Air yesterday."
"Yeah," Mouri Ran smiled and echoed, "It seems like he didn't use any Equipment..."
"Kaito Kid definitely used Equipment!" Conan, who had picked up his Hat and returned, stood next to the Chair, looked up at Mouri Ran, and acted cute with a Child's Voice, "If Humanity could walk in the Air so easily, wouldn't the Birds be scared to death?"
Mouri Ran chuckled, "What Conan said is so cute!"
Conan realized he had overdone the acting cute, felt a little embarrassed, laughed dryly, and wanted to see if Haibara Ai was giving him a mocking expression again, but when he looked up, he realized that Haibara Ai and Chi Feichei didn't seem to be paying attention to him at all.
Haibara Ai rested her hands on the Table, lowered her head and stared at Hissashi on the Table.
Chi Feichei also lowered his head, stroking Feimo's fur as it perched on his leg.
Conan: "..."
What's the Situation? Did these two have a fight?
"Hmph, I think it's you, Kid, who got scared along with the Birds, right?" Mori Kogoro said.
Feimo was almost stroked to sleep, vaguely heard it, made a puzzled 'ga' sound, and continued to doze.
What scared to death? They wouldn't be scared to death.
Conan stopped looking at the two people who seemed to be fighting, looked up and acted cute, and told Mori Kogoro his Discovery - he had discovered Traces of Hook Claw marks on the Terrace Guardrail.
Mori Kogoro and Suzuki Sonoko began to speculate about various Possibilities, while Chi Feichei and Haibara Ai still lowered their heads with indifferent faces, stroking their Pets.
On the Table, the Monitor was playing a visit to Suzuki Jirokichi, Chi Feichei and Haibara Ai still lowered their heads with indifferent faces and stroked their Pets.
Conan thought of the Key, looked up and saw the two people focused on stroking their Pets, and ran Downstairs by himself.
Kaito Kid appeared, Chi Feichei and Haibara Ai still continued to lower their heads with indifferent faces and stroke their Pets.
Rain began to fall from the Sky, Suzuki Sonoko got up in surprise, "Why is it raining?"
Haibara Ai then looked up, looked at the drizzle in the Sky, her eyes were as dazed as an Elementary School Student who had just been woken up from a nap in class, "Huh? Can we go Home?"
Mouri Ran: "..."
Mori Kogoro: "..."
"Huh?" Suzuki Sonoko was Be Confused for a moment, "What are you talking about? Kid is still performing a Magic Show over there, because of the Rain, Aerial Photography by Airplane has been interrupted, so I stood up, wanting to go to the Guardrail Side to see Kid."
"Speaking of which, what's going on with Ai and Brother Hichiji tonight?" Mouri Ran asked with concern, "You guys haven't been talking, did you have a fight?"
Mori Kogoro also looked at the two, these two are usually silent for a long time, and he hadn't noticed any Abnormality.
"No," Chi Feichei said with an Expressionless face, "I'm just sleepy."
Haibara Ai Yawned, too lazy to find another Excuse, "I'm sleepy too."
Suzuki Sonoko was even more confused, "But it's only past eight o'clock now..."
"If you guys feel sleepy, just go Home and sleep earlier!" Mori Kogoro waved his hand speechlessly.
These Words were like a pardon, Haibara Ai became much more energetic, and looked up at Chi Feichei.
Chi Feichei stood up, picked up Hissashi from the Table, "Then we'll go Home first."
Mouri Ran was worried that Chi Feichei would be drowsy while driving, and quickly reminded him, "Be careful and pay attention to Safety while driving on the Road."
"Uh-huh, you guys should also go Home and Rest earlier."
Chi Feichei decisively left with Haibara Ai.
Suzuki Sonoko watched the two enter the Terrace Door, "Even Kid's Performance Show can't attract them?"
"It seems they are really too sleepy," Mouri Ran said with a smile, "Probably because they stayed up late playing Computer Games together again last Night."
Downstairs, Conan had just come out of the Broadcast Van in front of the Museum, saw Chi Feichei and Haibara Ai coming over, and was a little surprised, "Did you guys also discover Kid's Method?"
"No," Chi Feichei walked towards his Car, "You Refuel."
Haibara Ai was in a daze, Expressionless and floated past following Chi Feichei, "Refuel, we're going Home first."
Conan: "???"
What's wrong with these two? Now even Haibara has become like that Chi Feichei Fellow, their Behavior is weird and strange, making them difficult to understand...
That Night, while Conan was chasing after Kid, Chi Feichei and Haibara Ai, who planned to stay at his place for the Night, returned to the Apartment.
While waiting for Chi Feichei to open the Door, Haibara Ai Yawned again.
Congratulations to Brother Hichiji for successfully depriving her of all Expectation.
Magic Trick was exposed, Action was Spoiled, there was no more boring Performance Show than this.
She suddenly Suspicioned that Chi Feichei's usual indifferent face and silence was Because he had seen through too much and completely lost Interest.
"Click."
Chi Feichei pushed open the Door, put away the Key and went inside the Home.
As soon as Haibara Ai entered the Door, she looked up and saw a Shadow of a Woman with retro Makeup and disheveled hair standing in front of the Living Room Curtain, and immediately became energetic, but when she looked carefully, she found that the Curtain was hanging down, and there was no Ghost Shadow at all in front of her.
After Xiao Mei hid her Shadow, she breathed a long sigh of relief in her Heart.
So dangerous, luckily she Dodged quickly...
Chi Feichei closed the Door, turned around and saw Haibara Ai staring at the Curtain, "What's Wrong?"
"No, maybe I'm just too sleepy." Haibara Ai found Slippers from the Shoe Rack and changed into them herself.
"Whether or Not to Eat Something?" Chi Feichei asked while changing his Shoes.
"Okay," Haibara Ai was indeed Hungry, stood up after changing her Shoes, "Just Eat Something casually."
Chi Feichei got up and went to the Kitchen, preparing to Start Doing Cooking Noodles.
As soon as Xiao Mei saw this, she decisively hid herself and followed into the Kitchen.
Haibara Ai, who was going towards the Curtain, felt a trace of Coldness swaying past her side, suppressed the Weird Feeling in her Heart, looked up at the Above, Confirmed that there was no Projector or anything like that, and then turned to the Kitchen.
Should be because she stared at Hissashi too much before, and her Eyes were playing tricks on her, right?
"Brother Hichiji, where's the White Cat you adopted?"
Chi Feichei boiled the Water, turned around and went to the Refrigerator, "Free-range."
"Free-range... you didn't keep it at Home?" Haibara Ai was Stunned, turned her Head to Look Outside the window at the drizzle, "Won't it get wet in the Rain?"
"It ran wild, the Apartment Building floors are too high, it's inconvenient for it to go Outside from Upstairs, I bought a House for it to settle down, don't Worry," Chi Feichei explained, and without turning his Head back, rummaged through the Refrigerator, "Want to add Egg?"
Haibara Ai with blank Eyes, "Okay..."
She Originally wanted to Say, if Chi Feichei didn't have time to take care of it, he could send it to Doctor Agasa's place, and definitely don't throw the Kitten you brought Home out for 'free-range'.
But Chi Feichei Actually bought a House for the Cat to settle down, this... she was Speechless.
The two Eat Something casually with Noodles, Wash Up, and went to Bed.
In the Midnight, a Rag in the Kitchen floated up swaying, after stabilizing, it floated to the lower corner of the Kitchen Counter and Erased a tiny Oil Spot.
Xiao Mei looked around in a Circle, and Discovered that the Kitchen was cleaned too cleanly by Chi Feichei, and she had no Place to tidy up, helplessly put down the Rag, picked it up, put it down...
The Witch Lady didn't lie to her, it turned out that more Extra Training can really pick up Things.
In the future, she can still continue to do Housework, standing at a larger Body Shape, putting away Clothes, pressing the Washing Machine, and wiping the Floor are much more convenient, and she doesn't have to Worry about her head falling off, and she can also learn Cooking.
She doesn't even need Master to Help leave the Door open, she can open the Door herself... no, Wrong, she doesn't even need to open the Door now.
Xiao Mei was Happy, threw away the Rag, passed through the Wall to the Living Room, then poked her head over the Wall, looked at Haibara Ai sleeping in the Bedroom, quietly floated over, Helped pull up the Blanket Corner that had been kicked open, and the corners of her Mouth turned up madly.
(^～^)
In the future, not only will doing Housework be more convenient, but she can also do more and more Things... Happy! So Happy!
"Hehehehehe..."
Xiao Mei couldn't help but laugh softly, under her disheveled Black Hair, her Pale Face stained with Blood Stain was full of smiles, due to her rigid face, her upturned Mouth corners seemed to be pulled up with all her Strength, twisted and stiff, revealing a bit of Strangeness.
Haibara Ai felt a bit Cold, just Intentioned to pull up the Quilt, suddenly Discovered that the edge of the quilt seemed to move a bit, opened her Eyes in a daze, and saw a ferocious and terrifying blood-stained Face.
Xiao Mei: "!"
(°д°)
It's over, it's over, she scared...
Haibara Ai closed her Eyes with an Expressionless face.
This is a World of Science, how could there be Ghosts? It's over, it's over, she's having Hallucinations again.
Did she stay up too late the Night before yesterday? Or has she been staring at Research Data too much Recently, and the Pressure is too great?
Xiao Mei took the opportunity to Slip to the Living Room, and the phantom Shadow reattached itself to the Doll on the Doll Wall, shivering.
Miss Ai actually suddenly opens her Eyes and suddenly closes her Eyes when sleeping, so scary!
Silently hanging on the Wall for more than an Hour, Xiao Mei hesitated for a moment, and still detached from the Doll, passed through the Wall and floated into Chi Feichei's Room, quietly looking around.
She can't be biased, she also needs to Check Whether or Not Master needs to have his Quilt pulled up.
But it seems that it's No Need, Master sleeps too well, not only does he not kick the Quilt, but even the Wrinkles on the Quilt are very few.
Doesn't Master even Turn Around when sleeping? It's a pity that she wants to Help smooth out the Wrinkles but can't.
There's also no Place beside the bed that needs cleaning, and the Desktop is also very clean...
Meeting such a Master, it's really frustrating.
On the Bed, Chi Feichei opened his Eyes, using the Light coming in through the Crack of the Curtain, Staring at a certain phantom Shadow that was Turning Head and looking around, without Speak Out.
He just wanted to See what Xiao Mei wanted to do when she ran in at Midnight.
Xiao Mei looked around in a Circle, disappointedly Intentioned to Look at Chi Feichei again and then retreat, but as a result, she Turn Head...
"!"
(°д°)
A pair of Eyes without Emotion were Staring straight at her, in the dim and silent Room, it was like a Gaze from the abyss, scary... scary!
Chi Feichei stopped looking at Xiao Mei who was frozen in Original Place, closed his Eyes again, "If you want to clean, go to Next Door Room 1103, don't come to my Room in the future."
"Yes!"
Xiao Mei turned around, passed through the Wall and ran away.
Humans at Midnight are so scary!
