After waiting for a mont, the Detective Badge faintly transmitted the sound of a Car driving away, and then it beca quiet again.
Afterwards, until Mori Kogoro finished his Phone Call and returned, there was no more Movent.
"Inspector gure said he would have people keep an eye out," Mori Kogoro said with a serious Expression, "but it's still uncertain whether they really encountered a Murderer, and the ti since we lost contact with them is still short, so we can't open a case for Investigation. The Police can't Help too much."
"Then should we Go Out to look for them?" Mouri Ran asked.
"The 'ka-la' sound at the beginning was the Sound of a tal Lock Buckle, the Lock Buckle on a non-fully enclosed Truck," Chi Feichei said, "Afterwards, it was the Sound of Fabric rubbing against solidified Cent, and finally the Sound of a Car driving away. Listening to the Engine and the slight 'ka-cha' sound while moving, it is indeed a Truck transporting Cargo. They should be in so Cent Building, and Saw soone commit Murder or Saw a Corpse..."
"At that ti, the Culprit was still there, so they didn't dare to speak loudly," Conan also recalled carefully, "Afterwards, Mitsuhiko said Words like 'he seems to be carrying the Deceased out'..."
"That is to Say, the Culprit might have committed Murder in the Place they were in, and then used a Truck to transport the Corpse away," Mori Kogoro analyzed, stroking his chin, "Or perhaps the Culprit used a Truck to transport the Corpse to the Place they were in, and after moving the Corpse out of the Car, drove away... Then could they be hiding in so Place, Intending to wait for the Culprit to leave before coming out? As a result, the Detective Badge was accidentally dropped and they haven't noticed it yet?"
"You don't understand them enough," Chi Feichei said concisely.
Conan Realized a possibility, and his eyelids twitched, "No way..."
"Huh?" Mouri Ran was puzzled.
"They might have followed them," Conan said, steeling himself.
"This..." Mouri Ran forced a smile, "Xiao Shu is still with them. If Xiao Shu gets scared and starts crying, they will be discovered by the Culprit..."
That's it, I can't go on.
Three seven or eight-year-old Mischievous Kids taking a one-and-a-half-year-old Child, actively following a Murderer... This isn't an adventure, this is courting death!
"It's also possible that they Intend to leave that Place first after they are safe, and then Call us," Conan said, holding onto a little Hope.
"Then let's wait for them to contact us," Chi Feichei said.
Mori Kogoro Nodded, "For now, we can only do this, at least wait another twenty minutes."
"Don't worry," Chi Feichei said, "I told Xiao Shu that if he encounters Thugs, don't resist, tell them that his Ho is rich, and let the Thugs Call to ask for Ransom."
Mouri Ran Nodded, still unable to feel at ease.
Doing so can indeed stabilize the Thugs.
With a Connection, maybe we can also obtain useful Clues.
But, are we sure that a one-and-a-half-year-old Child can do that?
...
After waiting for nearly three Hours, there was still no News.
Midway, Mori Kogoro took Conan Go Out, went to the Street Corner Store to ask the Shopkeeper, trying to find the whereabouts of the Children, but in the end, he gained nothing and could only return.
Just when Mouri Ran Intended to Go Out to look again, an unfamiliar Number Call entered Chi Feichei's Mobile Phone.
"...Where are you... Got it, wait for at the Original Place."
Two Sentences, the Phone Call hung up.
Chi Feichei Got Up and walked towards the Door, "I'll go pick them up, Ran, you make Rice."
"Ah... Okay!" Mouri Ran Subconsciously Nodded.
"I'll go too!" Conan followed and ran out, conveniently closing the Door.
Mori Kogoro then regained his senses and scratched his Head.
His eldest disciple's Speed of hanging up the Phone Call is still so fast, couldn't he let him scold those Kids for a Sentence or two?
Never Mind, I'll scold them when they co back.
More than half an Hour later, the roaring Sound from the Detective Agency spread far.
"Do you know how dangerous this is?!"
Mitsuhiko, Ayumi, and Genta stood in a row obediently, lowering their Heads and enduring Mori Kogoro's Spittle.
"Taking a one-and-a-half-year-old Babies and still daring to run around, what if sothing happens?"
"Saying you Saw soone being Murdered, and then there was no News, making us worry for so long!"
"For you Kids, I've run all over the Vicinity!"
Mori Kogoro gave them a burst of scolding.
Chi Feichei stood by the Windowside, with his back to the others, looking Outside and smoking a Cigarette.
When he went Downstairs to drive to pick up a Group of Children, there was soone in the Car parked at the Alley Entrance Downstairs. When he ca back, the person in the Car was gone, and the Car was still parked there.
When he Just Now walked to the Windowside to light a Cigarette, a red Point in the dim Alley across the Street quickly disappeared, so fast that it would make people think it was an illusion.
However, he was very sure that he Saw it.
Moreover, on the Wall Top of a Household in the Alley, there was also a gray-white Bird standing, completely marking out Akai Shuichi's hiding Location for him.
In the Alley, Akai Shuichi stood in the Shadow by the Wall, put away the Cigarette Butt he had extinguished in his Hand, and quietly waited for a certain troubleso Human to leave from the Windowside.
After that troubleso Human returned from Boston, Matters have beco complicated again?
First, when Jodie Call him, Chi Feichei accidentally heard it.
Although only a Sentence of Teasing was heard, Chi Feichei definitely Discovered that Jodie was sharing Matters about their Group of People with others.
After that, a Woman with a very good Relationship with Chi Feichei moved into the Apartnt Building where Jodie lived, right upstairs from Jodie. That dark-skinned High School Student also ran to Test Jodie.
And in the past two Days, Jodie has encountered that Miss Isogai twice in the Elevator Hall. After Testing, the other party Seemingly just Resignation to co to Tokyo to open a Shop, and happened to live there.
However, because Jodie actively invited that Miss Isogai to go Street shopping to inquire about News, the Relationship between the two beca a little closer, and that Miss Isogai also began to invite Jodie to Go Out.
Now Jodie has to be careful to avoid that Miss Isogai when Going Out, to be careful not to be Tracked. Apart from the Ti to go to School to inquire about News, after going Ho, she will be invited out... He always feels that Jodie's Tricks are being restrained.
Originally, they also Intended to let Jodie move into Chi Feichei's Apartnt Building, but considering Chi Feichei's Keenness, and the Price of that Apartnt Housing, they finally gave up.
Unexpectedly, Chi Feichei turned around and placed a Mole beside Jodie.
Regardless of whether it was intentional or unintentional, this is indeed a troubleso Human who gives people a headache.
Today, running to the Mori Detective Agency, suddenly Going Out to drive a Car, scaring him. Just Now, suddenly running to the Windowside to smoke a Cigarette...
That Fellow just brought a lot of Troubleso Matters to Jodie, wouldn't he turn around and co for him again?
Recalling carefully, he shouldn't have revealed any Opening Just Now.
...
Mori Detective Agency.
The three Elentary School Student waited until Mori Kogoro was tired of scolding, and bowed neatly, "Sorry, we know we were wrong!"
Mouri Ran was a little unwilling to pursue the matter further, but thinking of the recklessness of the Children, she still warned with a serious Face, "You can't do this again in the future!"
"Yes~" The three Elentary School Student continued to pretend to be good.
"Brother Hissashi," Mouri Ran Turn Head to Look at Chi Feichei who was standing by the Windowside smoking a Cigarette, "Do you want to Say sothing?"
Mitsuhiko, Ayumi, Genta: "..."
Please don't...
Sawada Hiroki stood in front of the Sofa, playing with the Comic Book that Conan had thrown on the Sofa, feeling so Sympathy.
Being lectured in turns as soon as they ca back, it's really too miserable.
Fortunately, he is now a one-and-a-half-year-old Child, it's normal that he doesn't understand things, and he is also placed in the 'victim' Angle, no one criticizes him.
Chi Feichei Turned Around, extinguished the Cigarette in the Ashtray on Mori Kogoro's Desk, and said calmly, "Rice."
"Huh?" Genta was Stunned.
Scolding? Criticism?
"Brother Hissashi..." Mouri Ran gave him Half-Moon Eyes.
She asked Chi Feichei Whether or Not he wanted to Say sothing, intending to let Chi Feichei seriously and strictly criticize the Mischievous Kids, not to let Chi Feichei announce that it's ti for Rice.
"They know they were wrong, but they will dare to do it again next ti. Saying it a hundred tis is useless," Chi Feichei picked up Sawada Hiroki and sat him down at the Table Front, "It's good that they ca back safely."
"Hehe..." Mitsuhiko scratched his Head and laughed.
Saying 'dare to do it again next ti'... Brother Chi is talking nonsense, but it's the truth!
"Hehe..." Ayumi was also a little embarrassed.
Genta was silent for a mont, "Ha... Uh..."
Never Mind, he won't laugh.
Conan Speechless glanced at the three people who were laughing foolishly.
He also felt that these three Fellows would dare to do it again next ti.
Mouri Ran suddenly felt powerless.
If Saying it is useless, then don't Say it. Does Brother Hissashi have to be so realistic?
Never Mind, let's eat Rice.
While eating Rice, Genta, Ayumi, and Mitsuhiko, the Three People, chattered about the whole process.
"At that Shop at the Street Corner, we couldn't buy the rare Kan Rider cards, so we wanted to take Xiao Shu to another Street to Check," Ayumi said, "But halfway there, Genta suddenly ran into that Abandoned Building, and no matter what we said, he wouldn't listen."
"Because I Saw a Mannequin at the Building Window Outside, I suddenly Realized that I could take Xiao Shu to play Playing House," Genta said, "Having a Mannequin play the Adult Role would be more interesting than a Group of Children like us playing..."
"After we followed into the Building, we Intended to take the Mannequin to play with Xiao Shu for a while," Mitsuhiko said, "and then we suddenly heard soone arguing inside the Building..."
"Although it was dark inside the Building, we did See a figure knock another person to the Ground," Ayumi continued, "Afterwards, the other person lay on the Ground and remained motionless, definitely Deceased."
Mitsuhiko continued, "Then the Culprit started moving the Corpse. Genta and I Intended to Check if there were any Clues on his Truck, and also to see where he wanted to transport the Corpse, so that we could Report to Police and notify the Police."
"As For Ayumi, we just let her take Xiao Shu to stay in the Abandoned Building and wait for us," Genta Looked at Ayumi, "But Xiao Shu followed and ran into the Truck's Cargo compartnt."
"That's for sure," Conan glanced at the Three People with Half-Moon Eyes, "Both of you ran into the Cargo compartnt, Xiao Shu probably thought you were Playing Ga with him, so he followed. You should at least Consider his Age, you shouldn't have run around at that ti... And then? You all followed?"
Sawada Hiroki silently lowered his Head and ate Rice with a Spoon, pretending to be a good Pet.
"I originally Intended to take Xiao Shu and leave quickly, but just as I Intended to get out of the Cargo compartnt, the Culprit had already moved the Corpse out," Ayumi explained, "We could only hide behind the Cardboard Box together, watching the Culprit move a Mannequin wrapped in Cotton Cloth into the Cargo compartnt, and drive to the Mountains."
"We also Saw a pool of red liquid seeping out of the Corpse," Genta couldn't help but Look at Sawada Hiroki, "Xiao Shu even wanted to go up and Look at those red liquids, but we pulled him back."
Mori Kogoro poured Liquor, "It's really a blessing from God that Xiao Shu wasn't scared into crying... Hissashi, Whether or Not you want to drink a little more?"
Chi Feichei Nodded, "Thank You, Teacher."
Watching a Group of People treat Sawada Hiroki as a Child who doesn't understand anything, it's quite interesting.
(End of Chapter)
"But Xiao Shu is really well-behaved," Ayumi praised, "didn't cry or fuss."
"Then did the culprit bury the Corpse in the Mountains?" Conan asked further.
"I think so," Mitsuhiko said seriously, "After arriving in the Mountains, he moved that Things, and left for more than twenty minutes before returning."
"When he ca back, taking advantage of the Truck stopping at the Traffic Lights, we quickly took Xiao Shu and got out of the Car," Ayumi said, "Afterwards, we Call Brother Chi."
Mori Kogoro casually added Liquor to Chi Feichei, after taking a sip of Liquor, asked, "Do you know where the Place where the Corpse was buried is?"
"Don't Know..."
Mitsuhiko, Ayumi, Genta shook their heads in unison.
"Then it's a bit tricky," Mori Kogoro rubbed his chin, "Even if you say you Saw soone Murder, if you can't find convincing evidence, there's no way to Report to Police."
"The Truck's tarpaulin was torn, I secretly Looked Outside, and rember the Route." Sawada Hiroki said childishly.
Then, was ignored...
"Uh-huh," Mouri Ran comforted with a smile, "Xiao Shu is the best!"
Sawada Hiroki: "..."
He really rembered the Route!
Conan also felt that it was Children talking nonsense without understanding, how could a one-and-a-half-year-old Child rember a one-way Route of nearly 90 minutes?
Guess he wanted to Say he Saw Shops and Big Tree or sothing.
Mori Kogoro directly ignored a certain one-and-a-half-year-old Child, and asked Ayumi Three People, "Then do you rember what those two people who were arguing said? Are there any Clue?"
"Kurata Freight!" Mitsuhiko recalled, "They ntioned this."
"The culprit seemingly called another person Director Suzuki." Ayumi also said.
Genta imdiately interjected, "He called the culprit President Kurata!"
"We also rembered the License Plate Number of that Truck," Mitsuhiko also said, "It's Shinjuku License Plate 1015!"
"It's late today, Tomorrow go to the Company called Kurata Freight and ask," Mori Kogoro picked up the Wine Glass and took a big gulp of Liquor, breathed a sigh of relief, and said intoxicatedly with a smile, "Fragrant and refreshing, with a lingering fragrance after drinking, it's indeed a Famous Liquor that has won the Gold dal of Excellence at the Panama World Expo!"
"Father, restrain yourself a bit." Mouri Ran reminded speechlessly.
"I Know!" Mori Kogoro ate a piece of Strawberry Crystal Cake, and took another big gulp of Liquor, said with a smile, "But I've been worried for so long tonight, I need to drink two more glasses to soothe my Mood! Eating like this, it feels really great!"
Chi Feichei silently took a sip of Liquor.
His Teacher Mouri is also 'I Know I'm wrong, but I next ti will still' in terms of drinking Liquor.
In less than half an Hour, Mori Kogoro knocked his Head on the Table, with a 'thud' sound, and left early.
Conan was stunned for a mont, and looked up at the Wine Bottle.
Thirty-year-old Lao Bai Fen Jiu (Old Bai Fen Wine), 53 Degree...
Uncle is still drinking gulp after gulp, can he still go to Investigation Tomorrow?
...
The next Day.
In front of the Abandoned Building, when Chi Feichei arrived with Sawada Hiroki, Mitsuhiko, Genta, Ayumi, and Conan had already arrived.
Mori Kogoro was absent, the reason was: he had Dinner late last Night, plus drank a lot of Liquor, hangover, drowsiness, lack of ntal State...
After Conan explained, he took out a Business Card and handed it to Chi Feichei, "Uncle Mori also said that you are his Disciple, and it's up to you to lead everyone to Investigation Small Matters like this, this is his Business Card, if you need to ask people about Matters, tell others that you are a Disciple of Famous Detective Mori Kogoro, his Fan will be happy to Help."
Chi Feichei put away the Business Card, "What about that License Plate Number?"
Sawada Hiroki is very Interested in this Case.
He doesn't rember the Details of this Case, he can follow along, just treat it as taking Sawada Hiroki out for a trip.
Although he doesn't rember the Plot of the Case, it's probably not very exciting itself, but compared to those Cases that are boring from the beginning, it can at least retain a little Expectation.
"Uncle Mori made a Phone Call to ask Police Officer Takagi to Help with the Investigation," Conan beca more serious, "It is indeed a delivery Truck of a Company called Kurata Freight Company."
"Go in and Check."
Chi Feichei picked up Sawada Hiroki, and led the other Children into the Building.
At the Cri Scene Place that Ayumi, Mitsuhiko, and Genta ntioned, there was no Blood Stain on the Ground.
"Is this the Place you ntioned?" Conan Looked around, there were so scattered cardboard boxes, but there were no Blood Stain.
"Uh-huh!" Ayumi Nodded.
Chi Feichei put down Sawada Hiroki, took out a small Spray Bottle from his Outerwear Pocket, sprayed so liquid on the Ground, Reached Out his Hand to block the Light from Outside.
"Brother Chi, you even brought Luminol Reagent..." Conan secretly clicked his tongue in his Heart, Chi Feichei can always prepare the Things that might be needed whenever he does sothing, he is indeed Doraemon Chi, but as a Detective, he didn't even think about bringing these before coming, ashad.
"Uh-huh." Chi Feichei responded, and sprayed a lot of Luminol Reagent on the Ground in the Vicinity again, looking at the Fluorescence that lit up, "Looking at the Blood spatter, it was left by a blunt object hitting the Head."
"After the culprit dealt with the Corpse, he returned here again, cleaned the Blood Stain on the Ground," Conan Looked Towards the cardboard boxes next to him, "and also scattered these cardboard boxes here."
Chi Feichei stood up, relying on this alone, there is still no way to Report to Police and file a Case.
"I Investigated before coming, Kurata Freight is in the Vicinity," Mitsuhiko said, "Why don't we just go over and ask about the Situation!"
Chi Feichei did not object, and took a Group of Mischievous Kid to Kurata Freight Company.
...
"Excuse , sorry to bother you."
The two young Girls sitting at the Front Desk looked up, Saw a young Man in simple Black Casual Wear, with a calm and composed Expression, walking in through the Door, and imdiately stood up.
This was completely a subconscious Action, which made Ayumi Three Mischievous Kid stunned.
Just Like welcoming a leader's inspection...
Conan pulled Chi Feichei's Hem, and teased in a low voice, "Tone it down a bit."
Having been with Chi Feichei for a long ti, he was sowhat used to the Aura of Suppression on Chi Feichei, but he could understand the Feeling of these two female Employee.
Just Like when he was Hospitalization last ti, when he Saw Chi Feichei bringing Haibara Ai in through the Door, his first Feeling was 'these two are not here to visit the sick, but to seek revenge', the Front Desk receptionist of this Company suddenly looked up and Saw Chi Feichei entering the Door, that Feeling is probably even stronger than when he was Hospitalization...
Chi Feichei ignored Conan's teasing, and handed Mori Kogoro's Business Card to the Front Desk girl, "Hello, I am the Manager of Mori Detective Agency, Mori Kogoro's Disciple, my Teacher is Investigating an Incident, and asked to co and Understand the Situation of Kurata Freight."
"Ah... hello," the Front Desk girl took the Business Card, lowered her head and Looked.
"Is that the Famous Detective Mori Kogoro?" The long-haired girl behind also Step Forward to Look at the Business Card.
"That... is there sothing wrong with our Company?" The Front Desk girl looked worried.
Chi Feichei explained, "Yesterday these Children witnessed a Weird Case..."
"Ah!" Mitsuhiko pointed at the Photo hanging on the Wall, and exclaid, "It's this person!"
Genta also Saw the Photo of the Man with a mustache, "Brother Chi, this Man is the culprit!"
"Older Sister, may I ask if this is your Boss President Kurata?" Conan asked, looking up.
The Front Desk girl Nodded, "That's right."
"Where is he Present?" Ayumi asked eagerly.
"Please quickly take us to find him!" Genta also urged.
"Our President Kurata only arrives at the Company every Afternoon." The long-haired girl said.
"Ah? Have to wait until Afternoon?" Mitsuhiko was also a little anxious, "Then the culprit would have escaped long ago!"
Chi Feichei Looked at Three Children, his Gaze stopped Three Children from clamoring, seeing Three Children obediently quiet down, then Turn Head to ask the two female Employee, "Does your Company have soone nad Suzuki?"
"Yes, our Director's surna is Suzuki," the Front Desk girl Turned Around and walked to the Photo Wall, pointing to a Photo, "This is a Photo taken at our Company Dinner Party, the one on the far left is Director Suzuki."
Chi Feichei Looked at the Photo.
There are not many Employee in this Company.
In the Photo, besides the Director surnad Suzuki, President Kurata, and the two female Employee here, there are only three male Employee.
The Director Suzuki on the far left was slightly sideways, wearing a pair of black-rimd Glasses, looking very refined, holding a Cigarette in his Hand, and the Ashtray on the low Table in front of him was also filled with Cigarette Butt, Once Seeing, you can tell he is a heavy smoker.
"What is the Relationship between your Director Suzuki and President Kurata?"
"Although they are good Friends who founded the Company together, they have been arguing fiercely recently," the long-haired girl recalled, "I heard that Director Suzuki wants to be Independent and start his own Company, but I'm not very clear about the specific Situation."
"Shinjuku 1015 is the License Plate Number of your Company's Freight Truck, right?" Chi Feichei asked again.
"Yes!" The Front Desk girl Nodded.
"Is the Freight Truck here?"
"Yes, it's in the Garage in the back."
"Can you take us to Look?"
"Okay, please follow ."
Things are going unbelievably smoothly.
Conan felt a little Sigh in his Heart, maybe even without using Uncle's Famous Detective banner, as long as Chi Feichei cos, things can be this smooth.
As soon as he entered the Door, he was suppressed by the Aura.
Arriving at the Garage, the Truck with License Plate Number Shinjuku 1015 was indeed parked in the Garage.
Cardboard boxes were scattered in the Truck Bed, and near the Truck Bed Door, there was indeed a pool of red, but it was not Blood, but red Paint.
"How could this be..." Genta was a little puzzled when he heard Conan say it was just Paint.
"Brother Chi, can Luminol Reagent be used to test for Blood Stain reaction?" Mitsuhiko asked Chi Feichei expectantly.
"Just Now used it all up." Chi Feichei said casually, and walked towards the Front of Car of the Truck.
"Ah..." Mitsuhiko, Genta, Ayumi were imdiately disappointed.
Wait!
Conan was stunned for a mont, and imdiately understood Chi Feichei's intention.
He clearly rembered that when Chi Feichei put away the Bottle Just Now, he Saw that there was still nearly a quarter of the Reagent unused, the Reason why Chi Feichei said this is Because he doesn't Know where the Criminal is!
If Blood Stain is detected in the Truck Bed of the Truck, it would prove that the Testimony of the Three Children is likely to be true, then they can Report to Police and let the Police intervene in the Investigation, but in this way, it would alarm the Criminal and let the Criminal escape.
Chi Feichei did not do a Blood Stain test on the Truck Bed, based on complete Trust in the Testimony of the Junior Detective League, and also to avoid alerting the enemy.
Next, he should be thinking of a thod to lure out the Criminal who is hiding sowhere!
Chi Feichei walked to the Passenger Seat, squatted down and Looked at the Wheel.
Conan pondered, and followed, looking at the clean Wheel, and said in a low voice, "The culprit should have rinsed the Wheel and Undercarriage of the Car."
"Uh-huh." Chi Feichei also found that the Undercarriage of the Truck was too clean, got up, and Opened the Car Door of the Passenger Seat.
Conan stood on tiptoes and leaned in to Look, suddenly froze for a mont, and imdiately Turn Head to Look Towards Chi Feichei.
Chi Feichei Nodded gently, and confird the Answer with Conan.
Sawada Hiroki Saw these two playing 'Tacit Agreent Action' again, just about to Reach Out his Hand to pull Chi Feichei's Hem of pants, his Hand stopped halfway, and turned to Conan's Hem, "Brother Conan, I want to Look too~"
Chi Feichei: "..."
Is this the fake Elentary School Student who usually maliciously Acting Cute, encountering another fake Child who maliciously Acting Cute?
(End of Chapter)
Conan originally wanted to signal to Chi Feichei with his eyes to hold him.
However, before he could react, Sawada Hiroki had already stretched out his hands towards Conan, pretending to be anxious, and said in a childish voice, "Hold, look!"
"Okay, okay, I'll hold you so you can see." Conan compromised, not seeking help from Chi Feichei, he picked up the little one himself and lifted him high above his head.
Even a soft and cute Baby was so anxious that he was speaking single words, how could he have the heart to refuse?
He couldn't refuse, and he was even a little happy inside.
Xiao Shu, besides calling Ran 'Older Sister', had only called him 'Older Brother Conan'.
With Chi Feichei right beside him, he still chose to be held by him.
What did this indicate?
It showed that Xiao Shu was close to him and felt he was reliable!
He didn't expect that he was also quite liked by Children~
"Have you seen enough?" Conan asked.
"Yes." Sawada Hiroki restrained his childish tone, "Thank you."
Conan put the little one down, looking at Sawada Hiroki's calm face, he was suddenly speechless.
This scene was very familiar.
He suddenly recalled Chi Feichei's cold face a second after smiling and deceiving soone before…
Yes, it was the sa rhythm, the change in expression was so fast that it made one's stomach clench.
That Kid's childish appearance just now, wasn't he acting him?
"Are we going to look for the person?" Sawada Hiroki tilted his head to ask Chi Feichei.
Chi Feichei squatted down, making it easier for Sawada Hiroki to communicate with him, "You decide."
"After he Murdered soone, he hid, it's likely he didn't go Ho, it's very difficult to find him," Sawada Hiroki's little face was serious, and he said in a low voice, "But he should be near the Company or the Corpse, secretly paying attention to the Developnt of the Situation, if not here, then near the Corpse, we should still go find the Corpse, once we find the Corpse, he definitely won't be able to sit still!"
Conan was a little stunned, "Xiao Shu, do you know who the Culprit we're looking for is?"
"Director Suzuki," Sawada Hiroki lowered his voice and continued, "The Ashtray in the Car was filled with Cigarette Butts, and they were all Cigarette Butts that were forcefully extinguished, with the tail of the Cigarette Butt pressed into a corner, consistent with Director Suzuki's thod of extinguishing Cigarette Butts in the Photo. In other words, the person who drove for three hours last night to dispose of the Corpse was Director Suzuki. We originally thought President Kurata killed Director Suzuki, but we actually got it wrong, it was Director Suzuki who killed President Kurata."
Conan was in chaos in the wind.
Completely correct!
He had just discovered the Cigarette Butts in the Ashtray in the Car and wanted to confirm with Chi Feichei that the Answer was that the Children had reversed the victim and the Murderer.
But a one-and-a-half-year-old Child could say such coherent words, and even use words like 'in other words', 'pay attention to the Developnt of the Situation', 'consistent', and moreover, his thinking was clear, Logic was accurate, and expression was clear, this, this…
No matter how he thought about it, this was impossible for a one-and-a-half-year-old Child to do!
Could it be that Xiao Shu, like him, was given dicine and beca smaller?
Discovering that Chi Feichei had already left with Sawada Hiroki, Conan quickly followed, walked to Sawada Hiroki's side, who was following Chi Feichei with small steps, and sized him up suspiciously, "Hey, I said… the way you acted when you asked to hold you just now, wasn't it all an act?"
"Can't I?" Sawada Hiroki's Gaze at Conan was a little playful.
Anyway, his Body would disappear in three days.
Next ti he wanted to regain a Body, he would not only need Witch Lady's Puppet Prop, but also wait for him to Splitting new Data to remain in the Internet.
Fearlessly reckless!
Conan perfectly received the playfulness conveyed in Sawada Hiroki's eyes, and his expression also beca a little stiff.
Xiao Shu was really acting him just now!
And this kind of 'evil' Gaze didn't seem like sothing a one-and-a-half-year-old Child could show…
Chi Feichei, walking in front, also vaguely heard the conversation between the two, and did not stop Sawada Hiroki.
It was rare for a certain Death God Elentary School Student who usually Acts Cute and acts others to be acted by soone else Acting Cute. If he wasn't afraid of making the currently tense Conan suspicious, he would have wanted to take out his Mobile Phone and record Conan's expression of doubting his Life.
After quietly widening the distance, Chi Feichei pretended that he was walking in front before, and only now discovered that the two Children had not followed him, and turned his head to remind them, "Keep up, don't get lost."
"Yes~" Sawada Hiroki moved his short legs and ran towards Chi Feichei with small steps, leaving the stiff Conan behind him.
Hassashi: "…"
Enmmm…
Watching Master and Hiroki play with Conan like this, it actually felt…
Quite interesting!
…
Chi Feichei bought a Map and returned to the previous Abandoned Building with the Group of Children, spreading the Map on the Ground.
"First, find the Corpse burial Location, find the Corpse, and then we can Report to Police and open a case for Investigation."
"Okay!" Genta, Ayumi, and Mitsuhiko were full of energy.
In a dark Corner of the Building, Little Black secretly paid attention to the Group of People.
Sawada Hiroki picked up the Marker placed aside and started drawing a Route along the Street.
"Xiao Shu…" Ayumi just wanted to stop him, but after carefully looking at the Route, she was stunned for a mont, "Huh?"
"Xiao Shu, now is not the Ti to draw, we have very Important Matter…" Genta also wanted to stop the little one from scribbling, and reached out to take the Marker in Sawada Hiroki's Hand, but his Hand was stopped halfway by Mitsuhiko.
"Wait, Genta!" Mitsuhiko stared at the Route on the Map, "Xiao Shu drew seems to be the Route we passed last night!"
"Ah?" Genta was stunned.
"Look," Mitsuhiko pointed at the Map, his Expression serious, "When we just started last night, I counted the Gas Stations we passed, first it was an 'Enthusiastic Petroleum', then it was a Gas Station called 'mm Petroleum', and then another 'Enthusiastic Petroleum'… completely matches."
"White Wharf Convenience Store," Ayumi also pointed to a Point on the Route, "I also Saw it on the Road."
"Speaking of which, I also slled the Flavor of Eel Rice on the Road," Genta looked at the Hotel on the Route, a distance in front of the Electronics Store, "It was before I Saw the Television playing Kan Rider."
"I Said it last night, I rember the Route." Sawada Hiroki returned the Marker to Chi Feichei.
"Xiao Shu is so amazing." Ayumi praised.
"Yeah," Mitsuhiko also Nodded, "Just like the child prodigies Reported on Television!"
"When he's older, he'll definitely be more amazing than Conan," Genta didn't forget to mock Conan, "But he can't be as cocky as Conan!"
Conan glanced at Genta with Half-Moon Eyes, feeling flustered inside.
Where was he cocky?
And didn't these three Fellows think that this Child was not just amazing, but too amazing?
Chi Feichei put away the Marker, picked up the Map and Looked at it, Turned Around and left the Abandoned Building, driving the Car to take the Group of Children to the Corpse disposal Location.
On the way, he also didn't forget to buy a Shovel and make a Phone Call to Inspector gure to explain the Situation.
Arriving at the Mountain, the Sun was setting in the west, and the sky slowly darkened.
Several Crows suddenly cawed and flew towards the depths of the Forest, adding a hint of eeriness to the Atmosphere.
There were Wheel Tracks of a Truck left on the Soil Road Road Surface.
Chi Feichei drove along the Wheel Tracks on the Ground, and when he reached the Place where the Wheel Tracks disappeared, he stopped the Car, took the Shovel and got out of the Car. Seeing the Group of Children following him down, he did not stop them.
The Corpse burial Location was also easy to find. After walking into the Forest, one could almost See at a Glance a Place where the Soil had just been turned over.
In the Rear, Little Black secretly followed all the way, hiding behind a Tree, watching Chi Feichei dig Soil with a Shovel, silently clenching the Iron Shovel in his Hand.
The Corpse must not be discovered!
Other Children were easy to deal with, but that Young Man was younger than him, and his Stamina was probably stronger than his, he could only win by surprise attack!
A Group of Children surrounded him, watching Chi Feichei shovel Soil.
Hassashi was wrapped around Chi Feichei's Neck, covered by the Collar of the Windbreaker that was pulled up high, motionless, like a dead Snake, but he kept paying attention to an orange-red Human figure in the Forest, excitedly lowering his voice and saying, "Master, he's going around from behind the Tree, be Careful, the Goal has an Iron Shovel in his Hand…"
Chi Feichei lowered his Head and continued to shovel Soil, one Shovel after another, listening to Hassashi's description that sounded like a ga comntary rhythm.
"Is he planning to flank and attack from the Rear, first solve you, this Adult, and then deal with the Group of Children? It is indeed the only Choice now," Hassashi probably felt that the other party's detour speed was too slow, so he simply began to Comnt and Analysis, "But he hasn't Considered that he might have to Murder more People if he does this? He's hiding it now, but he will be Investigated by the Police sooner or later, it's really an unwise Choice!"
Chi Feichei: "…"
It was indeed like that.
"Okay, he has already gone around to Master's Rear!" Hassashi shouted excitedly.
Chi Feichei paused with the Shovel in his Hand, almost wanting to Throw Hassashi out.
"He raised the Shovel!" Hassashi sped up his speech, "Let's Analysis his Situation, he rembered to Clean Up the Truck Tires and the Soil under the Car, but didn't Clean Up the Wheel Tracks on the Road, is this too careless? No, this is Because he is occupied by Fear and tension in his Heart, and he is already unable to think rationally, now, the Temperature of his Hand and Foot is decreasing, and the Temperature of his Head is a bit high, it can be Seen that he is very flustered, he is hesitating, he is cheering himself up… Okay, he finally rushed out!"
Chi Feichei also heard the Footsteps approaching quickly from behind him, Dodged to the side, and while shifting his Center of Gravity to his left Foot, he quickly raised his Leg, a swing kick.
The Group of Children were watching Chi Feichei dig up the Corpse, when suddenly they Saw a Black Shadow raising a Shovel and rushing out from behind Chi Feichei. Before they could See clearly, the Black Shadow flew past them at a very Fast Speed, smashed into a Tree Trunk, and landed.
"Boom!"
The Tree Trunk trembled slightly, and Fallen Leaves fluttered down. Director Suzuki fell at the Foot of the Tree, unconscious, and a Shovel dropped beside his Hand…
"KO!" Hassashi shouted excitedly, and then with so lingering disappointnt, "Sigh, Too Fast, a battle of equal Strength is more worth Expectation…"
Conan broke out in a Cold sweat. It was rare, Chi Feichei actually didn't use his Hand to press him down, but used a kick.
But this flying Speed and distance… no, it was Chi Feichei's Reaction Speed and Hand Speed that seed even more terrifying than Ran's, and the Strength was not weak either.
Looking at Director Suzuki's swollen cheek, he felt his own Teeth ache.
Why did he feel that the People around him were all relatively violent, especially towards Criminals.
After kicking the person away, Chi Feichei continued to dig Soil.
He was used to tripping people, using a hand lock, and making the Goal's Back of Head hit the Ground to lose consciousness… That way he could control the Strength well, ensuring that the person would lose consciousness and lose the Ability to resist, without being fatal.
But that was in the Previously, now he didn't dare to use his Hands casually.
Although he had almost adapted to the Strength increased by his Arm Transformation, he still needed to slow down for a while to completely integrate the Strength control into his habits.
If he had been a little too excited just now, and caused his Hand Strength to be out of control, he might have perford 'Bare Hands crushing Skull' in front of a Group of Children…
Then would he Silencing? Silencing? Or Silencing?
In order to avoid this overly bloody and violent Scene, he should change his habits, and try to use his Feet more and Hands less recently.

(End of Chapter)
"Ah!" Genta exclaid after snapping back to his senses, pointing at Director Suzuki who had fainted, "He... wasn't he already killed yesterday?"
Ayumi and Mitsuhiko also looked at the burial site with terrified expressions. The corpse was not buried deeply, and Hissashi had already dug out the hand. In the dim light, the pale and slightly purplish back of the hand stood out against the black mud.
"There's a Director Suzuki here..." Ayumi said in a trembling voice. Mitsuhiko turned his head to look at the man who had fainted at the base of the tree, "T-there's also a Director Suzuki over there..."
"You guys are mistaken," Conan, getting goosebumps from the eerie atmosphere the three of them created, saw Hissashi continue digging up the corpse as if nothing was wrong, and took over the explanation, "The one who was killed yesterday was actually President Kurata, not Director Suzuki. The ashtray in that truck was filled with cigarette butts, and those cigarette butts were the sa as the cigarette butt Director Suzuki put out in that photo."
Hissashi squatted down, dug away the soil from the head of the corpse, and pulled the cloth covering the corpse aside. Genta, Ayumi, and Mitsuhiko saw that the corpse was President Kurata, and finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"I See..."
"Whoop—"
Police sirens sounded nearby. A few minutes later, Inspector gure arrived with people, woke up the fainted Director Suzuki, and took him into a Police Car. The work of completely digging out the corpse was also taken over by the Police.
...
"What? You think Xiao Shu, like you guys, shrank after taking that dicine?!"
The Next Day morning, Doctor Agasa's House.
Doctor Agasa looked at Conan in surprise.
"Yeah," Conan said, sitting on the Sofa with a thoughtful expression, "Doctor, don't you think it's a little suspicious for a one-and-a-half-year-old Child to speak so logically? And from the start of the investigation... no, I should say, from the night before last when Brother Chi brought them back to Mouri Detective Agency, his reaction has been very calm. Whether it was just witnessing a Murder Case, the investigation, or seeing the Corpse, or even later when Director Suzuki tried to sneak attack Brother Chi and was knocked down by Brother Chi, he was very calm, just watching quietly..."
Doctor Agasa stroked his chin, "Say So, it does seem unlike a one-and-a-half-year-old Child."
"APTX-4869 has always been used as a Poison. In experints, there is a Mortality Rate of 99.9% or even higher," Haibara Ai said, leaning against the Sofa with her arms crossed, "Shrinking is just an exception. At least so far, the only ones who have shrunk after taking that dication are the Laboratory Mouse I observed in the Organization, you, and . If Xiao Shu is like us, has an Intersection with the Organization for so Reason, took APTX-4869, and like us, his Body shrank to an Infant State, the Probability of this guess being true is less than 0.01%."
"But it's still a Possibility, isn't it?" Conan asked back.
"Then the second Problem, after you and I took that dication, our Bodies both shrank by about ten years. Although it's still not certain whether Body shrinking is fixed at ten years, or shrinks according to a certain Age Ratio, there's one Point I can be sure of," Haibara Ai continued, "If Xiao Shu shrank to one and a half years old after taking that dication, then his Age before shrinking would be no more than 15 years old, probably in the range of 10-12 years old. Generally, children aged 10-12 might be able to express themselves logically, but to achieve the kind of photographic mory, strong Observation Skill, and Analytical Skills you ntioned, it doesn't seem easy either."
"If such a Person exists, then he must have been a Genius before he shrank?" Doctor Agasa speculated.
Haibara Ai did not deny it, and lowered her head to ponder. What she just brought up was not to deny Conan's Speculation, but to raise Key Points that needed to be considered. She always rembered the Person who brought her out of Beika Hotel. During this ti, no one around her seed capable of doing that, but there was one before... Chi Feichei! Her escape that ti must be related to Brother Hichiji. The more she recalled, the more she felt that what she vaguely saw that day was the Ring Necklace Hissashi wore.
Even if Hissashi couldn't get away from Beika Hotel at that ti, the Person who took her away must also be related to Hissashi, or even everything was assigned by Hissashi. Afterwards, Hissashi didn't react at all, and didn't seem curious about why Masuyama Kenzo caught her. Either Hissashi didn't know why she was locked in the Wine Cellar, or Hissashi knew about the existence of the Organization, and even had so Connection.
So, could it be because of Xiao Shu? Soone Hissashi knew was also persecuted and shrank, so he started investigating the Organization, learned so things about the Organization, but not enough Knowledge, and then that day, he targeted Pisco, went to the morial Service, discovered that Pisco had caught her, and rescued her along the way?
But In This Case, there are many things that don't make sense. If Xiao Shu is shrunk, then Hissashi is likely to guess that she and Conan are also shrunk. Logically speaking, when Fellow Birds like Xiao Shu appeared, didn't Hissashi intend to Test and confirm it? Or investigate their original Identities to see if they have any Relationship with the Person who caused Xiao Shu to shrink?
But since Hissashi knew them, he hasn't deliberately tried to Test them, hasn't conducted an Investigation, and Seemingly doesn't find them Weird at all.
Conan pondered for a while, and also felt that there were many Suspicious Points in his own Speculation that could not be explained, "Maybe Xiao Shu is just a Genius originally? Being too quiet might be Introversion, not panicking, maybe he has no concept of Death and Corpses, As For his expressive ability being stronger than ordinary Children..."
"It may also be due to his own photographic mory," Haibara Ai took over, and sorted out her Clues, "If he has had a strong mory since Birth, then from a very young Age, he can learn to speak and act like the Adults around him. Logical Ability and expressive ability may indeed be stronger than ordinary Children."
"Moreover, Children themselves have very strong Observation Ability," Doctor Agasa also followed this line of thought, "Sotis, Children can indeed pay attention to Things that Adults cannot. You can understand it this way, for Adults, seeing a Cigarette Butt may be a very ordinary Matter, but for Children, it is a magical Thing that emits fire and smoke, and Adults put in their mouths but don't let them touch. Seeing photos and truck ashtrays, it's not Weird to Subconsciously pay attention to Cigarette Butts."
"And In This Case, why Brother Hichiji doesn't find us Suspicious can also be explained," Haibara Ai said, "Because he himself knows this kind of Genius who is much stronger than many people at a young Age."
"It may also be that he simply doesn't have much Curiosity," Conan said with Half-Moon Eyes, "Or his thod of thinking about Problems is not quite the sa as Normal Person. At that ti, he actually asked Xiao Shu to decide what to do next..."
"It seems to be the sa usually," Doctor Agasa chuckled, "Isn't he very supportive of you solving cases yourself? It's the sa for Mitsuhiko, Ayumi, and Genta. He encourages them to decide so Things themselves, solve so Problems themselves, and even entrusts the Junior Detective League with Commissions. He seems to always believe that everyone can do well, so everyone likes him so much."
"My Godmother also told that Brother Hichiji had very strong Observation Ability when he was a Child, and was much more Keenness and mature than ordinary Children," Haibara Ai said, "Probably in his eyes, our or Xiao Shu's Performance is not very Weird, at least he won't treat us as Monsters."
"Also Correct, Mrs. Kana didn't seem to find it very Weird that the two of us behaved maturely," Conan recalled the Situation of living at Chi Feichei's Ho those days, and found that he and Haibara Ai could handle so Matters themselves and not rely on Adults. Chi Kana also didn't react much, just let go and let them do it themselves. This is a bit like his Old Mom and His Dad, just the type who are purely carefree, "But no matter how much we Speculation, it's just Speculation. It's best to confirm it!"
"What do you intend to do?" Haibara Ai defaulted to Conan's Idea. She also wanted to Test and find out what the Situation was. Hissashi's Ability to hide his Emotions is too strong, it's difficult to Test anything, and it's rare to have Xiao Shu as a Breakthrough. We can judge Hissashi's Situation based on Xiao Shu's Matter!
"I intend to Go To Brother Chi's Ho, just using visiting Xiao Shu as a Reason," Conan looked towards Doctor Agasa, "Doctor, if you want to go, you can also co with us..."
"I won't go." Haibara Ai said suddenly.
Conan was stunned for a mont, a little puzzled, "Hey, what's wrong with you recently? The day before yesterday, when everyone went to the Detective Agency to see Xiao Shu, you said you had sothing to do. Yesterday, when we went to investigate, you didn't go either. Usually, when Brother Chi is around, aren't you very willing to go with everyone?"
"If you don't want to restore your original Body and just continue to Life like this, I can give up my Research Ti and follow you around all day long, solving cases everywhere." Haibara Ai retorted without changing her expression.
Conan broke out in a sweat, and imdiately smiled ingratiatingly, "Hard work! So you've Decided, you're not going with us today either?"
"There's a pile of Data that needs to be recorded, let's talk about it after I'm done. I'll Call you then." Haibara Ai yawned, turned around and walked towards the Underground Laboratory, muttering 'idiot' in her heart.
She doesn't intend to run to Mouri Detective Agency or Hissashi's Ho recently. Now, maybe soone is Staring near Mouri Detective Agency or Hissashi's Ho. If she runs over, not only is she in Danger herself, but she will also cause these people to be targeted by the Organization.
This is not evasion, but for now, it's best for her to hide well. She has indeed been Researching dication these days, but she will also take ti to Check Data about that Arican Child Star Grace Aihara.
If necessary, she needs to take a risk and ask for help from that Child who looks exactly like her, to ask the other party for a favor and completely eliminate the Organization's Suspicion of her eight-year-old Body. If one Person looks alike, the Possibility of her being Sherry is very high, but what about two people looking alike? It's impossible for both to be Sherry, right? Especially when they are two Little Girls.
In the Living Room, Doctor Agasa watched Haibara Ai leave, turned around and walked to the Landline Phone, "Then I'll Call Hissashi first to see if he's Ho." Conan also followed.
The Phone Call was connected not long after it was dialed, it was Hissashi's usual speed of answering the Phone.
"Hissashi, it's , Doctor Agasa," Doctor Agasa saw Conan approaching, and continued to say to Hissashi on the Phone, "I bought too much Fruit this morning, and wanted to send so over to you, and also go to see Xiao Shu with Conan, I don't know if you are Ho?"
"I just finished taking a Written Statent and ca out of the tropolitan Police Departnt. Then are you coming over now?"
The voice on the other end of the Phone was chilly, making Conan break out in a sweat. He went to take a Written Statent again... It should be because of yesterday's Kurata Freight Case. He always felt that Hissashi's Mood wouldn't be too good.
"Co Over to my Ho?" Doctor Agasa looked at Conan, and agreed, "Okay, then bring the Child over."
"Half an Hour."
"Beep..."
Doctor Agasa: "..."
It was also Hissashi's usual speed of hanging up the Phone.
End of Chapter
Half an hour later, Chi Feichei brought Sawada Hiroki to Doctor Agasa's House for their daily Lunch.
Haibara Ai was a little surprised that Chi Feichei would co over, but having Delicious Food to eat and being able to check Conan's Test results in passing was also pretty good.
After al, Conan saw Chi Feichei and Doctor Agasa go to wash the Dishes, and he approached Sawada Hiroki, who was playing with Hissashi, and Stare.
Sawada Hiroki looked up at Conan, "Older Brother Conan, what's wrong?"
Conan choked. Facing such a innocent and childish face, he really couldn't say anything too harsh. He tried hard to keep a straight Face, "Okay, stop acting and trying to fool , I already know everything."
Sawada Hiroki looked at Conan with a blank face.
When Godfather received Doctor Agasa's Phone Call, he guessed that this Fellow Conan intended to Test him. They had already rehearsed various Situations.
Stay calm.
Conan looked at Sawada Hiroki's blank face and beca a little hesitant, but he still continued to Test, "You're not an ordinary Child, are you?"
Sawada Hiroki Nod, his small Face serious, "I will beco as amazing as Kan Rider in the future, I'm not an ordinary Child."
Conan: "..."
(＿＿)ノ｜Wall
How was he supposed to respond to that?
It would be easier to question him if he had Evidence, but he wasn't even sure now.
After a mont of Silence, Conan asked directly, "Yesterday, you intentionally acted spoiled and asked to hold you, but you were actually acting to deceive , right?"
Sawada Hiroki hesitated for a mont, "Deceive you? ... But, that's just how you are, you like to speak in that Tone, and then Face Changing, I just wanted to know why, so... I learned from you a little."
Conan: "..."
(＿＿)ノ｜Wall
Did that an he had corrupted the Child?
"Are you deceiving other People?" Sawada Hiroki lowered his voice and asked.
Conan: "..."
(＿＿)ノ｜Wall
Should he admit it? Or deny it?
Haibara Ai, who was paying Attention from Aside, couldn't stand it anymore and spoke up to Help, "Xiao Shu, where are your Father and Mother?"
Sawada Hiroki was stunned for a mont, not expecting Haibara Ai to be part of the Test, "They're both Death."
Haibara Ai: "..."
These Words... she couldn't continue.
Her Parents had also passed away early, and she suddenly felt that it wasn't strange for Xiao Shu to be more sensible and calm than ordinary Children.
"Then do you have any other Relatives?" Conan no longer kept a straight Face.
"I have Grandpa and Grandmother, and Godfather..." Sawada Hiroki said.
"Godfather?" Conan paid Attention to the changes in Sawada Hiroki's Expression, "Generally, Children in Japan are not born to receive Baptism, right? Are your Parents or Grandpa and Grandmother Christian?"
"My Mother was, my Father wasn't," Sawada Hiroki recounted, "It was Mother's Last Wish."
Conan didn't see any Trace of Lying from Sawada Hiroki. When he spoke of his Parents, the Emotion in the Child's Eyes was very real, a little downcast, but it didn't seem too sad either.
Perhaps he was too young and didn't have much concept or too much sadness about the Death of his Parents.
Sawada Hiroki was very calm. After Saying that, he continued to lie on the Sofa and pet Hissashi.
He naturally wouldn't reveal any Opening of Lying, Because he wasn't really Lying.
He couldn't control his facial Emotions as ticulously as Godfather, and could only express the Emotions he wanted People to See, but Godfather had also taught him that as long as it wasn't a question that must be answered with 'YES' or 'NO', he could Handle it by mixing Truth and Falsehood.
Using this thod, as long as he didn't dwell on the Lie part in his Heart and didn't have a sense of guilt for Lying, and selectively thought about the part that wasn't a Lie, not only would his Expression and Gaze not have any Problems, but even a lie detector might not be able to detect it.
Simply put, it was to deceive Oneself first.
Today, this was also a Test question that Godfather had given him, and he had to Perform well.
"Oh? He's leaving the day after Tomorrow?" Over there, Doctor Agasa and Chi Feichei had also finished washing the Dishes.
"The day after Tomorrow morning, or maybe Tomorrow Night," Chi Feichei wiped his Hands with a Towel, "He's going to Grandpa and Grandmother's Place."
He wasn't Lying either. Sawada Hiroki did intend to go to Britain to Play for a few days after his Body disappeared.
Conan was stunned. Leaving Tomorrow or the day after Tomorrow?
If Xiao Shu was Shrinking like them, then he should want to contact them, right?
Leaving so quickly, it was too sudden!
"Are his Grandpa and Grandmother in Tokyo?" Doctor Agasa asked.
"In Britain." Chi Feichei said.
"Oh? Are they Kana's Friends in Britain?" Doctor Agasa asked again.
Chi Feichei: "Yes, his Grandpa has a very good Relationship with my Mother."
Sawada Hiroki had originally been thinking about doing this acting Test well, but he had gone Morning Exercise with Chi Feichei early in the morning and gone to the tropolitan Police Departnt to take a Written Statent. A year and a half old Child's Stamina was exhausted again.
Therefore, just as Conan turned his Head to Look at Sawada Hiroki, he found that the little one had already fallen asleep on the Sofa.
"Xiao Shu has fallen asleep?" Doctor Agasa also noticed the sleeping Sawada Hiroki, "Then let's send him to my Room to sleep, he might catch a Cold Outside."
"I took him for Morning Exercise this morning." Chi Feichei picked up Sawada Hiroki.
"Mo-Morning Exercise?!" Doctor Agasa turned around to lead the way to the Room, sowhat surprised.
"Children fall asleep when they are tired from Playing," Chi Feichei followed behind, carrying Sawada Hiroki, "It's worry-free to take care of him."
Doctor Agasa: "..."
Conan and Haibara Ai stayed in the Original Place. After Chi Feichei and Doctor Agasa entered the Room, Conan touched his chin and lowered his Head to ponder, "He doesn't seem to be Lying..."
"He's not the Sa as us." Haibara Ai said firmly.
Conan turned his Head to Look at Haibara Ai, "It's still hard to Say now, right? He was actually able to make both of us speechless. If he is good at concealing Oneself and is intentionally blocking our Words, then..."
"Haven't you noticed?" Haibara Ai said, "Although our Bodies have shrunk, our energy hasn't decreased much. If he shrank after taking that dication, his energy wouldn't be so much worse than ours. You also Said that last Night after the Corpse was found and the Police were notified, he fell asleep in the Car on the way back."
Conan recalled for a mont. Indeed, Xiao Shu's Performance in terms of Stamina and energy was the Sa as a year and a half old Child. He and Haibara Ai were stronger than their peers.
In addition... No, it still needs to be confird.
That day, the Famous Detective guarded Sawada Hiroki's sleep for more than two Hours, confirming that a certain little one was really sleeping. After Dinner, he even used the Excuse of Playing Video Ga to follow Chi Feichei Ho to continue Observation.
Chi Feichei was relieved and threw the Task of keeping him company to Conan. He himself held his Computer and secretly Looked at Bomb Assembly Data Aside.
Conan played Video Ga with Sawada Hiroki for several Hours and found that when the little one's Attention was focused, he was indeed much stronger than his peers, but after concentrating, he easily beca sleepy.
In the Night, Conan again proposed to sleep with Sawada Hiroki.
Chi Feichei naturally wouldn't object, moved Sawada Hiroki's Cot to Conan's Room. With Conan taking care of him, he returned to his Room and continued to Look at Bomb Assembly Data.
One Night passed, and Conan completely dispelled his Suspicion.
Taking Children to Play until they are tired can really make them sleep until dawn. It seems like he has discovered so Weird secret tip for raising Children... cough, in short, Xiao Shu's energy is about the Sa as a year and a half old Child, and even Because his energy is more concentrated during Activities, his sleep Ti is longer than other year and a half old Children.
Looking at it this way, it's more like he was trained by his Guardians.
Could it be that Xiao Shu is just a little too much of a Genius Because of his innate mory?
The Famous Detective decided to squat down and wait to See the Situation of Xiao Shu's Family mbers who would co to pick him up.
Chi Feichei silently asked Koizumi Akako for Help.
That Night, a little after eight o'clock, Koizumi Akako's Old Butler ca to the Door.
Koizumi Akako's Old Butler from the Witchcraft Family was short and slightly hunched over, with snow-white Hair. He looked quite old, wearing a red Formal Suit, with a white and flat Shirt underneath. At first glance, he looked very classy.
After Chi Feichei opened the Door, he Observed him a few more tis.
He had specially tidied up his clothes and Hair, and even the Cufflinks were Antique Items, estimated to be worth at least ten to twenty thousand US Dollar.
He didn't know if it was Koizumi Akako's Intention, or the Old Butler's own preparation...
The Old Butler bowed solemnly, "I am ordered to pick up Young Master Xiao Shu. My Master asked to send her regards to you on her behalf."
This was the Child of Nature, he had to take it seriously!
Conan, who followed to the Entrance Hall, was Be Confused.
The 'Master' that this Old Person spoke of should be Xiao Shu's Grandmother, right?
Even using Words like 'ordered' and 'Master'...
What are the conditions at Xiao Shu's Ho, seriously!
Sawada Hiroki probably guessed that this was Chi Feichei's Arrangent. He Looked at Chi Feichei, walked to the Entrance, "Are we leaving now?"
"Yes." The Old Butler straightened up, still with a serious Face, and looked like he didn't talk much.
"Then..." Sawada Hiroki turned his Head to Look at Chi Feichei and Conan, "I'm leaving, I'll have a chance to catch Criminals together again next ti."
Conan suddenly felt a bit of lancholy about parting, and Nod smilingly, "Okay~ Let's Play together again next ti!"
The Old Butler stepped Aside to wait for Sawada Hiroki to Go Out. He bowed to Chi Feichei again before turning around and following Sawada Hiroki to leave. After entering the Elevator, he finally let out a long breath.
Hongzi-sama suddenly wanted him to co to See the Child of Nature, it was too rushed, and he hadn't prepared well.
Thinking carefully, there shouldn't be anything impolite just now, right? When leaving, should he have Said a few Blessing ssage to be better?
Saying Blessing ssage is a bit too tacky, but not Saying it seems to be disrespectful.
The Elevator went All the way down. Sawada Hiroki Observed the Old Butler's Reaction, "You were very nervous just now, is it Because of Seeing my Godfather?"
The Old Butler was stunned, and Looked down at Sawada Hiroki, "Did I Perform very nervously just now? Was it a bit unnatural? Would it seem very rude?"
"Uh..." Sawada Hiroki had black lines all over his Face. This Old Person's Heart seed to be more nervous than he showed, "No, you Perford very well."
"Phew..." The Old Butler withdrew his Line of Sight.
"You are Witch Lady's People, right?" Sawada Hiroki thought for a while. When his Body was about to expire, the only People Godfather could trust to pick him up should be Witch Lady's People.
"Yes, I am currently considered Hongzi-sama's Butler," the Old Butler said seriously, "Responsible for taking care of Hongzi-sama's Daily Routine."
"Hongzi-sama..." Sawada Hiroki said, "Then do you also add 'sama' when Appellation my Godfather?"
"Of course, if he needs it," the Old Butler was stunned, and then fell into a new tangle, "Even when he doesn't need it, I should still Appellation him like that, but Hongzi-sama specifically instructed not to Say that, but not Appellation him like that seems very rude. As a Butler, when encountering People with a higher class than Hongzi-sama, for Hongzi-sama's sake, I should be more respectful and not listen to Hongzi-sama's willful Arrangent, no, no, this doesn't seem to be Hongzi-sama's willful Arrangent either, but their common Intention..."
Sawada Hiroki: "..."
Are People of the Mysticism System all so mumbo-jumbo?
Ding—
Elevator door opened.
