"You're quite the scher," Belmode turned her head to look at the venue, smiling faintly as she murmured, "Indeed, the Police are completely in the dark. You've helped them solve cases before, won't they suspect sothing if you don't lend a hand?"
"No," Chi Feichei glanced at Inspector gure's direction, "I'm not a Kid like Kudo Shinichi who likes to be in the Lilight."
Belmode was taken aback for a mont, Kudo Shinichi…
The venue gate was suddenly pushed open, and reporters outside beca noisy, with flashes of flash going off incessantly.
As two small figures squeezed out of the door, the gate was quickly closed again.
Belmode snapped back to reality, and asked seemingly casually, "Do you know him? That famous High School Detective Kudo Shinichi."
"Heard of him." Chi Feichei felt slightly relieved.
Although the Organization had investigated him, it wasn't exhaustive. It was probably just an investigation into his past History.
His recent two months of Relationship were just a small part of his 20-year History, probably just a brief ntion.
That made things much easier…
Belmode looked towards the Entrance, "It seems the morial Service is over."
The Police investigated but still found nothing. It looked like an Accident no matter how you looked at it, and there was no way to keep people at the venue any longer.
The gate opened, and everyone left the venue one after another. The reporters outside were in an uproar.
"Is it true that Councilor Tunko was killed?"
"Could you please tell us the detailed process of this matter?"
Chi Feichei distanced himself from Belmode and didn't leave together, but Belmode followed him not too far or too close, and he didn't leave too far either.
Masuyama Kenzo was nowhere to be seen.
Before they even walked out of the Beito Municipal Hotel, Inspector gure brought Police to look for people again.
"Mr. Chi!" Inspector gure stepped forward and said seriously, "We received a clue and found a purple handkerchief with gunshot residue reaction at the scene. We need the person who was given the purple handkerchief to stay behind to cooperate with the investigation."
Chi Feichei nodded without even thinking, "Okay."
Inspector gure was a little embarrassed, "You don't have anything urgent to do, do you?"
Over there, Belmode had already been approached by a Police officer. While talking, she turned her head and tentatively asked Chi Feichei in English, "You will keep company with , won't you?"
She was completely acting like a weak woman in a strange foreign environnt who was extrely uneasy after seeing soone killed and wanted to find soone to rely on…
Chi Feichei knew that Belmode was reminding him not to leave her and run around, so he nodded, "Of course."
After saying that, he turned his head to Inspector gure and said, "I don't have anything urgent."
Inspector gure nodded understandingly, looked around, "Then, please everyone separate and accept questioning in the rooms."
Masuyama Kenzo, who had been missing for a while, had returned and also expressed his cooperation to accept Police questioning. When he passed Belmode, he quietly took the purple handkerchief from Belmode's hand.
Belmode winked at Chi Feichei, and as a group of people followed the Police to a room on the side, she whispered, "It's really convenient to have a good relationship with the Police, but it's going to be a bit troubleso for since I don't have a handkerchief. I'll have to request you to testify for …"
"I will say you went missing halfway through." Chi Feichei threw down a sentence and followed Wataru Takagi into the room on the right-hand side.
Entering the door and closing it.
Wataru Takagi looked at Chi Feichei, and had a bellyful of complaints but didn't know how to voice them. He coughed dryly and prepared to ask about the main matter first, "Mr. Chi, could you please show us the purple handkerchief that was distributed at the morial Service?"
Chi Feichei took out the handkerchief from his pocket, and handed it to Wataru Takagi.
Wataru Takagi took it, checked it carefully, nodded, handed it to his colleague beside him, and asked again, "Did you notice anything suspicious at the ti? Uh, even unimportant small matters are fine…"
"Didn't pay much attention," Chi Feichei said calmly, "I was talking to Chris the whole ti, and it was the sa when the Slideshow was being played."
"Oh? Is she your Girlfriend?" Wataru Takagi's eyes were filled with gossip.
"No, we were talking about a Movie based on my Mother." Chi Feichei knew without thinking that Belmode would ntion this matter. They couldn't talk about the Organization, and their Testimonies would definitely match up.
"I See…" Wataru Takagi didn't know whether he should believe it or not, but then realize that now was the ti to investigate the case, not the ti for gossip.
However, Chi Feichei asked first, "Is the Culprit among the seven people who received the purple handkerchief?"
Wataru Takagi hesitated for a mont, but still nodded, and whispered, "We can't let them leave for now."
"Hey, Takagi…" The Police officer next to him spoke up to remind him that Chi Feichei had a good relationship with the Police, but this was detaining people under the pretext of questioning, and it would affect the Police's reputation if it spread.
"I won't say it." Chi Feichei said directly.
Wataru Takagi scratched his head and laughed, "And if others have Opinions, Mr. Chi can also help persuade them…"
Anyway, he didn't think Chi Feichei would commit a cri.
"But can you let go to the restroom first?" Chi Feichei took out his mobile phone and looked at the ti, "I guess we'll have to stay here for a while."
"Ah, of course, no problem," Wataru Takagi get up to open the door, "That…"
"It's okay, Police Officer Takagi can keep company with ." Chi Feichei went out the door.
Wataru Takagi followed, and waited outside the restroom. Seeing that there was no one else around, he explained in a low voice, "That… we are worried that it would be bad if the others saw it. If only Mr. Chi is going to the toilet and doesn't need to be accompanied, they…"
Chi Feichei's voice ca from the restroom, "I understand."
In the restroom, Chi Feichei quickly turned his mobile phone to silent mode, put it in the pocket of his coat that he had taken off, and hung it on the hook. He also stuck a loudspeaker on the wall behind the toilet.
Even if Wataru Takagi didn't offer to co along, he would have request it for the convenience of making an Alibi.
Moreover, he wouldn't bring his mobile phone with him, let alone use his mobile phone to contact anyone.
The Organization was still in the stage of investigating him, and they would be watching him very closely. Maybe there was a Bug in his mobile phone.
If it were him, he would also listen in at this stage to see if he had betrayed his accomplices to the Police, or ntioned the mysterious Email.
Coincidentally, a Suit Coat was really not suitable for action, and it was best used to hold a mobile phone. It could block the Cara and also transmit sound, making people think he was always in the restroom.
The window of the restroom had already been opened, and a rope was hanging down. This was prepared by Non-Ink long ago.
Chi Feichei check his body, and found a small bug in his sleeve. It was probably put on him by Belmode. He gently put the bug into his coat pocket, leaned out the window, grabbed a rope, and tied it to the buckle on his waist.
At the sa ti, he took out the necklace, turned on the communication, and lightly tapped his fingernail.
Haibara Ai's location in the annex was next to the Beito Municipal Hotel, separated by a distance. The ground was covered with snow, and anyone who went over there would definitely leave traces.
On the rooftop, Non-Ink and a large group of crows gathered. Hearing the soft sound from the necklace, their claws pressed the 'send' button on the mobile phone.
Across the street, a truck was parked by the roadside. After the Driver received the text ssage, he started the car and prepared to deliver the cargo to the designated location.
As the truck drove out, the rope on the Roller on the rooftop rolled quickly.
Chi Feichei temporarily turned off the transmitter connected to the loudspeaker in the toilet to avoid transmitting the noisy wind sound. At the sa ti, he listened to Wataru Takagi's words over there. After being pulled to the rooftop by the rope, he turned on the transmitter and calmly responded, then quickly turned it off, cut the rope, grabbed another rope connected to the low house opposite, and fastened both ropes to the buckle.
A flock of crows flapped their wings and flew past, and there was no sign of anyone on the rooftop.
The annex was next to the Beito Municipal Hotel, and the building was very short.
A rope was stretched across the sky, one end connected to the rooftop of the Beito Municipal Hotel, and the other end above the two-story building next door, diagonally stretched.
Chi Feichei was wearing a dark gray overcoat, which almost blended into the snow-covered sky. Coupled with the crows flying past quickly, even if soone looked up or looked down from the window upstairs, they would not be able to see anyone at all.
Sliding along the rope from the rooftop of the Beito Municipal Hotel was almost a straight descent, and the speed was very fast.
Near the chimney, a rope tied to Chi Feichei's waist tightened, and the heavy object at the end tightened the rope, also allowing Chi Feichei to stop steadily above the chimney.
Haibara Ai was already awake, and talking could be faintly heard from the top of the chimney.
"…Listen carefully, Kudo…"
Chi Feichei took out a Hypnotic Gas Pellet from his pocket, and threw it down the chimney tube. At the sa ti, he put on the hat of his coat.
He didn't want his hair to fall down below, and there was dust accumulated in the chimney. If it got on his hair, Belmode might be able to see it later.
The Pellet fell to the bottom of the chimney, and white smoke imdiately spread out.
"I seemingly heard so Weird Sound…" Haibara Ai murmured, and gradually lost her voice.
Chi Feichei pricked up his ears to listen for a mont, loosened the rope on the buckle on his waist, borrowed the rope handed over by the Crow, tied it on, and jumped down the chimney while holding his breath.
Haibara Ai fell in the white smoke, her black-rimd Glasses fell to the side, and Conan's doubtful and anxious voice ca, "Haibara? Haibara! What's wrong? Say sothing!"
Chi Feichei picked up the Glasses and directly crushed the Glasses leg.
The sound stopped abruptly.
It was necessary to give Conan a little lesson. Let Conan be anxious over there.
Chi Feichei didn't throw the Glasses away randomly, put them in his pocket, picked up Haibara Ai, returned to the bottom of the chimney, and pulled the rope.
Another truck was started under Non-Ink's text ssage control. The Driver didn't notice the rope tied to the rear of the car at so point, nor did he care about the slight increase in resistance, and quickly pulled the two people back to the rooftop of the Beito Municipal Hotel.
On the rooftop terrace of the Beito Municipal Hotel, a person wearing a white Suit stood there, his white Cloak fluttering in the wind behind him, looking down at the Pocket Watch in his hand, "3 minutes and 11 seconds…"
Chi Feichei used the Coat collar to block the wind sound, turned on the transmitter and chatted with Wataru Takagi for a few words, then turned it off. When he reached the rooftop, he cut the rope, tied another rope, and stood suspended in mid-air.
"That thod of using crows to cover, quickly disguise, and create the illusion of soone disappearing, is still the first ti you've used it, right?" Kuroba Kaito, dressed as Kaito Kid, moved his line of sight away from the stopwatch, looked up at Chi Feichei, with a gentle and reserved smile, "It's the first ti you've used it, but there were no mistakes. It was a wonderful performance, with a lot more artistic appreciation effect than last ti, but it was a bit too fast…"
Chi Feichei hovered in the air, his dark gray coat fluttering in the wind, with crows covering him, his expression cold, looking down at Kuroba Kaito condescendingly, "You left footprint."
Kuroba Kaito froze, and looked down.
The rooftop was originally covered with a thick layer of snow, and there were two footprint where he was standing that had been stepped on.
No wonder Chi Feichei only used ropes and rollers throughout the whole process, it turned out to be to avoid leaving footprint.
This… did he do sothing wrong?
