Outside the window, Yuki had been falling in flurries all morning. Even after the Snow Stop, the Sky remained a vast expanse of white.
Inside the house with the heating on, Chi Feichei, Hassashi, and Feimo were fast asleep together on the Sofa, while Xiaoi entered a 'hibernation state' without moving.
Wu Ming had even 'guruguru'ed himself to sleep, lying on Chi Feichei's Belly, occasionally 'guruguru'ing twice in his dreams.
When Chi Feichei woke up, he found that the light coming into the House from Outside the window was still palely bright. Without getting up, he raised his hand to pick up the Mobile Phone on the Table to check the Ti.
Three PM.
Originally, he had turned on Computer and opened his Email because he had sothing to do, but he had actually fallen asleep. However, compared to having slept well for seven Hours, that little Matter was no longer that Important.
He had been sleeping poorly night after night. Even if he could force his Brain to not be muddled during the Dayti, he found that his Attention span was still Descend day by day.
After a good night's sleep, although he still felt Weakness, had a sore Throat, and chest tightness, his Brain felt much clearer.
And what he needed to do in the morning were just two Matters.
First, a piece of Intelligence sent by the Crows: Haibara Ai had caught a Cold this morning, and Doctor Agasa drove her to the Hospital.
If there were no Accidents, Doctor Agasa would temporarily park the Car in the Shopping Mall Parking Lot on the way. Haibara Ai, who had a bad Cold and was sleeping in the Car, would be seen by Belmode and Jodie, and thus be targeted by Belmode.
He had originally planned to have the Crows follow and sneak in, and secretly use a Pinhole Cara to Broadcast the live Situation to him.
However, he fell asleep before Doctor Agasa even entered the Shopping Mall Parking Lot, and could only see a Text report when he woke up.
The Email sent by the Crows just five minutes ago said that Fake Niide disguised by Belmode, Jodie, and Doctor Agasa had already left Beihu Town's Toto Tower with Haibara Ai.
Thanks to Conan running to Toto Tower, and just two Hours ago, soone else had died in their Beihu Town.
The second Matter was that at 11:00 AM today, Yingqu Yan Nan and Takayama Oto t for the third Ti.
He should have paid Attention to the progress during the Action period, but unfortunately, he fell asleep.
However, the reception of Yingqu Yan Nan had already been handed over to Gin for Arrangent. The Intelligence was with Rum, and without his participation, it would not Impact the overall Situation.
And an Hour ago, Rum had sent an Email saying that Yingqu Yan Nan and Takayama Oto's eting this Ti had concluded with a Cooperation agreent. In the Night, Yingqu Yan Nan would take Takayama Oto to et Wataru Ichiro, formally allowing the Cold Butterfly Society to get on the Smuggling Route.
[Help keep an Eye on things in the Night. ——Raki]
[Help pick up Slivova in the Night. ——Raki]
Chi Feichei sent two Emails, one to Rum and one to Gin.
Today, the Cold Wind Whoosh Outside was strong, and he Don't Want To Go Out and get choked by the Wind, which would easily cause a Cough.
Wu Ming vaguely heard movent next to him and groggily opened his Eyes, "Guruguru... Master? Guruguru..."
"No Need."
Chi Feichei stopped Wu Ming from continuing to guruguru. Seeing that Feimo, Hassashi, and Xiaoi had also woken up, he Get Up and picked up Wu Ming, then Get Up and went to the Kitchen to Call, asking Leopard Express to co to his Door to pick up the Goods.
Cooking and eating alone was Torture. If he made too little, it was not easy to make. If he made a little more, he would have to eat leftovers for the next al. Even with Wu Ming and Feimo eating together, it was still a little short. Adding Haibara Ai would be just right...
He had been waiting for today for a long Ti.
...
Doctor Agasa's House.
Jodie watched the Fake Niide, who was disguised as a good person, settle Haibara Ai down. She noticed the Aquarium Tank standing between the Living Room and the Kitchen Counter. Using 'going to cut Fruit' as an Excuse, when she passed by the Fish Tank, she casually stuck a Bug under the Aquarium Tank stand, and walked towards the Kitchen Counter without turning her Head. In a poor accent, she Say, "Oh~ Doctor Agasa! Your Ho is very, very Unexpectedly, I thought a Scientist's Ho must be very simple and solemn, but Unexpectedly it has a very strong Life Aura. Did you Specially decorate it for your Granddaughter?"
In this Living Room, there was an Aquarium Tank with a few red and Golden Goldfish swimming around, which showed that they were well taken care of.
In the Corner, there was a Piano, next to which were placed a large Plush Bear, Children's Building Blocks, a Down Carpet, and a Ga console. On the Wall, there was also a large Cartoon Picture pieced together from a Puzzle.
It had a strong Life Aura, but the Key Point was that she wanted to Test the Relationship between this Girl and Doctor Agasa.
"Is that so?" Doctor Agasa and Fake Niide put Haibara Ai on the Bed that had been moved out, and Scratch Head smilingly, "Actually, most of these were bought by Hissashi. That Puzzle Hanging Painting was also bought by Hissashi for the Children. After they finished piecing it together, I thought it looked good, so I frad it and hung it up. Actually, I don't really understand what Toys Little Girl need."
No thod, he knew Haibara Ai's real Age, so he never thought about buying Haibara Ai a Plush Bear or other Dolls... He couldn't Say these Words.
"Oh? Mr. Chi?" Jodie pretended to be surprised and Looked Up, secretly paying Attention to Fake Niide's Reaction. She found that Fake Niide also Subconsciously Looked Up at Doctor Agasa, and then nonchalantly withdrew her Line of Sight and continued to cut Fruit, "He would actually buy Things for Little Girl, it's really Unexpected!"
The Fake Niide, who was actually Belmode, was also quite Unexpected. She couldn't figure out Chi Feichei's Attitude towards Haibara Ai, and felt that it was necessary to temporarily join forces with Jodie to Test the Details. She showed a gentle Smiling Face and pretended to joke, "Unexpectedly, he likes Children so much. If the Girls at Teitan High School who secretly admire him knew, he might be even more popular."
"Good idea!" Jodie looked like she feared the world would not be in chaos, and smilingly added fuel to the Fire, "Let everyone know that he will buy Plush Bear for Little Girl, it will definitely be a Surprise!"
Doctor Agasa sweated. If Chi Feichei's Gossip spread to the School and beca distorted in the process, Chi Feichei might co to talk to him. "Doctor Niide, Teacher Judy, please don't talk nonsense at School. He bought Plush Bear for Ai, it's out of care for his Younger Sister."
Jodie looked surprised, "Younger Sister?"
"Yes," Doctor Agasa Looked at Haibara Ai, who was sleeping soundly on the Bed, and explained with a smile, "Ai is Hissashi's Mother's Goddaughter."
"Oh~ I See, no wonder their Hair and Eyes don't look alike at all," Jodie said with a smile, lowering her Head to cut Fruit. Her Glasses flashed a Reflection, and she enthusiastically and childishly exclaid, "But your Relationship is really Complex, are you all considered Relatives?"
No wonder that Woman repeatedly contacted and Investigated Chi Feichei. It turned out that she wanted to start with Chi Feichei to find this Little Girl...
Although Doctor Agasa did not Sense that he was being Drawn Out Information by the two Won, he also felt that he should not reveal too much about Haibara Ai to people he was not familiar with, and vaguely admitted, "Ah, I guess so."
Belmode Probably Guess that Sherry was at Doctor Agasa's House because it must be related to that Kudo Shinichi kid...
Jodie discovered that Belmode had given up trying to Draw Out Information, and Realized that Belmode should have more Clues than them. Her Heart felt a little heavy, but her Face did not change. She continued to lower her Head and cut Fruit, and Say in an enthusiastic and Expectation Tone, "Then Mr. Chi should know about this Child's Illness, right? If he Cos Over later, I must compete with him again to see who is better at playing Ninja Battle! I won't lose again this Ti!"
Doctor Agasa sweated. He always felt that this Teacher's Personality was not very reliable, and Say helplessly, "But Hissashi also has a Cold, he Probably won't Co Over, right?"
"Is his Cold serious?" Belmode frowned with a worried Face, looking like a good Doctor who was 'worried about Patients and good Friends'.
She did not yet know that Raki had a Cold. She had originally wanted to send Raki to Britain when she found Sherry and started Action, but if Raki had a Cold, he might not be able to go.
Moreover, was Raki really having a Cold? Could it be that he was performing so Task, but everyone was hiding it from her?
This was a very Danger Signal.
"It seems to be very serious, it's been a Few Days Ago," Doctor Agasa helplessly raised his hand and touched his Forehead, feeling that the new Circle of Hair he had grown recently was about to wither from Worry, "I feel that his Mood is not very good either. He hasn't contacted us much in the Recently Days, and when I Call him..."
As Doctor Agasa Say, the Doorbell rang from the intercom.
"Ding-ling-ding-ling! Hello, Leopard Ho Delivery, there is a Ho Delivery here that needs Mr. Agasa to Sign for in person."
"Okay, please wait a mont."
Doctor Agasa ran to open the Door.
Belmode pretended to Check Haibara Ai's Situation, and when she Turn Head, her Gaze beca deep for a mont.
Having a Cold for several Days and not contacting others by Phone Call, could it be that that Raki Fellow was really preparing for so Action?
Contrary to Belmode, the corners of Jodie's Mouth rose crazily.
This Ti's Gain was great. They had Confird the Location of this Girl, installed a Bug here, and were about to take Action. Chi Feichei, that Troubleso fellow, just happened to be sick, and seed to be very serious.
She was a professional Special Agent, and would not usually smile when she should not, unless she could not help it.
Today is a good Day~
No, calm down, Chi Feichei just has a Cold. She still had to Confirm the Situation and not let that Troubleso fellow suddenly pop up at the Key Ti of their Action.
"Oh~ Being sick is really too bad, Doctor Niide, would you like to Go Together to see Mr. Chi later?"
Jodie suppressed the corners of her Mouth from rising, pretending to be worried and sighing. However, when she thought of Chi Feichei making her angry in the Ga, sending her Colleague to the tropolitan Police Departnt, and Isobe Nagisa, the Fake Daughter of a certain Chi who lived Upstairs from her and constantly harassed her, and then thought of Chi Feichei being sick, she felt refreshed and happy no Matter what!
Reflected on her Face, Jodie's Mouth corners rose, suppressed, rose, suppressed, like twitching...
"Ah?" Belmode did not hear Jodie's Words clearly at all, and Turn Head in Doubt, looking at Jodie's twitching Mouth corners, a question mark slowly appeared in her Brain.
Does this FBI Woman have so kind of Problem?
Jodie tried hard to suppress the Joy of gloating in her Heart, "I an, shall We Go Together to see Mr. Chi later?"
Belmode's Brain turned quickly.
Use Jodie as a cover to Test Raki's Situation? It seed like a good Idea.
Although this was proposed by Jodie, she had to be wary of the FBI's Ambush and Trap, but that was Raki's Territory. Even if the FBI made any Abnormality, she could join forces with Raki...
No, in that case, the Matter of her disguising as Niide Tomoaki would be known by Raki.
Indeed, she still couldn't go.
"Oh? Are you going to see Hissashi?" Doctor Agasa ca in holding the Ho Delivery Delivery Box, "I Called him a Few Days Ago, but he was unwilling to speak. Afterwards, he sent a Text ssage Say that the Doctor Say it was best for him not to speak anymore and didn't want to Go Out either. He doesn't seem to be in a good State. We were originally planning to go to Beihu Town today to see him. His Apartnt is not far from Toto Tower, but we Probably won't be able to go today."
"Then let him have a good Rest," Belmode pretended to have a gentle Face, "If his Situation is still not good in two Days, we will go to his Door and drag him to the Hospital!"
Let the FBI and these people take the risk. She won't go. Anyway, she has other Channels to understand Raki's Situation.
(End of Chapter)
That night.
Inside a high-rise Apartnt Building in Beihu Town, Chi Feichei opened the Glass Window leading to the Balcony, took the Blood Bottle handed over by the Golden Eagle's claw, and coughed twice as the Cold Wind blowing in his face made his Throat itch.
"Godfather, stop running to the Balcony," Sawada Hiroki's voice ca from the Computer, "Just let Xiao i or Non-Ink go get it."
Chi Feichei closed the Glass Door, and as he turned back to the Sofa, he calculated that it was ti for him to sleep. He casually turned off the Living Room light, but didn't Return to Room. After sitting down, he opened a blank Docunt on the Computer and typed 'Understood'.
Sawada Hiroki: "..."
His Godfather really intended to not speak until he recovered?
Chi Feichei continued typing: You don't need to keep watch.
"I am your Godson, guarding you is what I should do," Sawada Hiroki said helplessly, "You should have told when you got sick. If I hadn't discovered that you've been helping Ark test the Inner Network these past few days and wanted to co see you, were you really planning to not tell at all?"
Chi Feichei typed: It's not a serious Illness, and I haven't reached the Age where I need a filial son to serve at my bedside.
Sawada Hiroki suddenly felt that what Chi Feichei said made sense, choked for a mont, and his Tone weakened by three points, "Then... even if you're not sick, I can still co see you, and I can also help you summarize Surveillance Information."
Ok.
After Chi Feichei finished typing, he closed the Docunt and brought up Computer Program after Computer Program.
Four Scenes popped up on the Computer Screen one after another, displayed in four Areas. They were taken by four groups of Birds carrying Pinhole Cara.
The Scene displayed in the first Area was near his Apartnt Building. From high altitude, it fild the Street where snow had begun to lt. There were so Leaves with Water Drop blocking the view in the Front, probably because the Bird was hiding On the Tree by the Roadside. In the center of the Lens was a silver-gray Car, which didn't seem to have anything noteworthy, but the two people in the Car were FBI confird by Non-Ink.
The second Area was the Street in Beika Town 2-Cho. The Bird carrying the Cara was also hiding On the Tree. In the Scene, Akai Shuichi bought a Canned Juice from the Vending Machine across the Street and returned to the Car.
The third Area was still Beika Town, near Kudo Shinichi's House. The Scene was a Warehouse with a Window boarded up, faintly revealing dim Light.
Probably because Belmode discovered Haibara Ai's Location and was in a good Mood, she didn't go to places like Shopping Mall to change her Disguise Mask, but went directly to the Park.
After the Crows doing Tracking and Surveillance dispersed to track several Goals, they locked onto Belmode and followed her from a distance to Belmode's current Temporary Residence.
The fourth Scene was completely dark. This was the Cara carried by the Crow that sneaked into Doctor Agasa's House through the Ventilation Duct. It was attached with a small Bug. More than ten minutes ago, they could still hear Doctor Agasa typing on the Keyboard, but it soon beca quiet, with only occasional snoring.
He had a good sleep during the Dayti under Naless's 'Purring Therapy', and his ntal State had improved a lot. As expected, he still couldn't help but want to do sothing interesting.
The FBI were doing Surveillance on him, and he was also doing Surveillance on the FBI. He could take advantage of this Opportunity when the FBI clashed with Belmode to dig out all the FBI who had Illegal Immigration connections with Akai Shuichi.
If things went smoothly, he could grasp those people's Appearance, Temporary Residence, Action, and so small habits.
As for the Surveillance of Doctor Agasa, he wanted to grasp the Plot Progress and Confirm whether there had been any Transformation due to his existence.
Chi Feichei Staring at the changes on the Screen, sent a ssage to the Crows at the Beika Town Base, asking the Base to send Crows to replace the Bird in the Tube at Doctor Agasa's House. There was no need to stay any longer, just install the Bug and they could withdraw.
Not long after the ssage was sent, Haibara Ai's terrified cry ca from the Computer speaker.
"Doctor?! Doctor!"
Sawada Hiroki was startled. The Information he could grasp was also transmitted from the Cara and Bug. Since the Bird was still in the Tube over there, it couldn't film the inside of the House, making it impossible for him to Confirm what had happened over there, "Godfather, did sothing happen?"
Chi Feichei didn't feel surprised, "It's nothing, probably a cough... false alarm."
"Hey, you're awake," Conan's voice wasn't as loud as Haibara Ai's just now, and was filled with helplessness, "It's just that Doctor accidentally knocked over the Tomato Juice. You didn't think it was a Blood Stain, did you? I've told him several tis, don't drink Canned Juice when you're surfing the Net, he always falls asleep and knocks over the Juice."
"But, why, why are you here?"
"I just had an Ominous Premonition, so I ca here to Check on you. I said I ca to Help take care of you. By the Way, there's Crucian Carp Porridge made by Brother Hichiji in the Insulated Container over there. Doctor heated it up for you with the Microwave before, it should still be warm."
"He ca?"
"No, Doctor said it was sent by Ho Delivery Service, and there was also a Note left inside, saying that he would also send Food to you Tomorrow, but he won't Co Over, so as to avoid infecting each other with a Cold. Probably Doctor told him you had a Cold in the morning, and he made a Get-Well al for you."
"Hey, I said..."
"I know, suddenly Disappear and can't be contacted, Communication is just Text ssage, and sending Things is also by Ho Delivery Service, you're worried that he's in Danger, right? But it's also Possible that he has a very uncomfortable Cold and wants to Rest. His Approach to doing Things and thinking about Problem is very Weird originally. If you're really worried, we'll go See Tomorrow..."
"No Need to go, the Handwriting is indeed his... I also have an Ominous Premonition."
Afterwards, there were Footsteps and typing sounds.
Chi Feichei Guess what Haibara Ai was planning to do. He temporarily minimized the Surveillance Window, opened the ga 'Wonder Continent', quickly entered his Account and Password, logged in, switched to Stealth Mode, and randomly entered a High-Level Dungeon.
Within two seconds of him entering the Dungeon, the Na 'Sweet Little ow' in the Friend List indeed lit up.
Chi Feichei didn't Consider much, Pulled Into Haibara Ai into the Team, and then switched the Surveillance to his Mobile Phone, "Noah, Backup the Surveillance Video... cough."
These past few days, he hadn't shown his face or made Phone Call, which indeed had the Suspicion of 'already being hard'. To reassure Haibara Ai, he would create a Pretense of 'feeling unwell and Staying Ho playing Ga like crazy recently'.
Playing Ga was the most reassuring thing.
The Eavesdropping was transferred to the Mobile Phone, Conan: "Are you going to Check so Data?"
Haibara Ai: "No, I'll Keep Company Brother Hichiji to play Ga for a while. He Seemingly has been playing Ga alone these past two days..."
Conan: "..."
In the next Hour, Chi Feichei and Haibara Ai brushed through two High-Level Dungeon, and also Said in the ga chat that his Throat was indeed uncomfortable, and then they each went Offline to Rest.
The Next Day, Chi Feichei put on a Mask and Go Out to buy Food Ingredients, letting those two FBI See, so as to prevent the FBI from suspecting that he had been hard or was not at Ho. Afterwards, he asked Leopard Express to co to his Door to pick up Breakfast and deliver it to Doctor Agasa's place.
There were only two portions of Breakfast.
He shouldn't know that Conan was staying overnight there, so he could only send portions for Doctor Agasa and Haibara Ai.
When the Ho Delivery Service arrived at Doctor Agasa's House, Mouri Ran had already gone over. Due to Conan saying that the Entrance Gate of Doctor Agasa's House was broken, they went back and forth through the Back Door.
After Mouri Ran left, Doctor Agasa took Haibara Ai and Conan to find Atsushi Miyano's Friend from Previously.
Chi Feichei Considered for a mont and let the Crow follow them.
This ti, Conan would cause soone to die, and while Solve the Incident, he would Discover the Audio Tape that Akemi Miyano had hidden there, left by Elena Miyano for Haibara Ai.
That Audio Tape contained Elena Miyano's Words she wanted to Say to Haibara Ai. Although there might be Organization's News, Haibara Ai definitely wouldn't play it aloud when listening, and the Possibility of him hearing the content was very slim.
No Matter what, let the Crow follow them and Test.
This Day...
In the Apartnt Building in Beihu Town, Chi Feichei was Staying Ho Eavesdropping on the Movent of all parties, his Eyes silently Staring at the Surveillance Video in the Display Screen, looking just Like a Mad pervert peeping into other people's Privacy.
On the Street of Sanmu Bridge, Akai Shuichi sat in the Car wearing Earphone, Staring at a Yellow Beetle not far away, looking just Like a pervert who not only crazily peeped into other people's Privacy, but also engaged in stalkerish Stalking.
In the Warehouse of the abandoned building in Beika Town, Belmode sat on a Chair with her Legs crossed, a smile on the corner of her Mouth, her lowered Eyes full of contemplation, looking just Like a pervert who not only crazily peeped into other people's Privacy, but also pondered how to dig a Pitfall to bury people.
...
At around 7:30 in the Night, Chi Feichei received a Call from an unfamiliar Number.
The Phone Call was answered, and Belmode's casual greeting ca from the other end, "Hi, Raki (Pinyin na)~"
Chi Feichei: "..."
Hold back, this Phone Call cannot be hung up.
Organization mber Connection is mostly done by Email. Belmode chose to Call, so there must be a Reason to Communicate by Phone.
Generally, it's because there is an Action that needs to be confird face-to-face. To Guarantee that the person on the other end is the real person when agreeing on the Ti and Place to et, Phone Communication is necessary.
Moreover, human inertia is terrible. He hadn't spoken for five days, and just now he was a little used to 'not speaking'. If this continued, he might even suffocate himself into being mute.
"Belmode?"
Chi Feichei's voice was hoarse. When he spoke, his Throat ached again and he wanted to Cough, but he still held back.
"It's . I heard from The Boss that you have a Cold. Is the Situation serious?" Belmode asked.
She had sent an Email to The Boss early in the morning to deliver Intelligence, and at the sa ti asked if she could let Raki (Pinyin na) go to Britain in her place. The Boss then told her about Raki (Pinyin na)'s Cold.
Therefore, if she wanted to know Raki (Pinyin na)'s State, there was no need for her to run to his Door. She could completely Test it out from The Boss.
"Not sure... cough cough," Chi Feichei coughed twice. This Problem was very boring. To Say serious, compared to the Injury he would suffer in so dangerous Tasks, this was not serious. To Say not serious, he felt Weakness in his Hand and Foot every day, and had to cough every now and then, which could also be considered serious, "What's the Matter?"
Belmode: "..."
Not even sure whether his own Cold was serious or not, Raki (Pinyin na) still Said it so seriously and so solemnly, Just Like he really didn't know... Never Mind, ignore it. It's hard to Guess the Approach of a Crazy Cat.
"I have Serious Business to find you for. I've already reported to The Boss," Belmode lowered her voice, and her Tone beca a little more solemn, "Co out and et. I shouldn't Trouble you at This Ti, but it's Probably that you won't need to personally take Action."
Chi Feichei Cooperate with the Performance, "Ti? Place?"
"Two Hours Later, Shibuya District Line Club. Gin will also go there at that Ti. Before that, you and Rum Help to carry out Security Confirmation, and by the way, let the Little Girl from the Cold Butterfly Society familiarize herself with how to do Things."
"Ok."
(End of Chapter)
Sawada Hiroki eavesdropped on the phone conversation. After the call ended, he directly reminded from the mobile phone, "Godfather, be careful when you go out. Those two FBI Agents are still watching outside."
"Don't eavesdrop on my cough cough... calls."
Chi Feichei suppressed the discomfort from coughing and sent an email to Ubu Saika.
[Bring a few Friends to Line Club to have fun, arrive before 8 PM. If there are suspicious people inside or outside the Club, or any Abnormality, email . Don't wear black, and don't let people discover your Purpose. –Raki]
After sending the email, Chi Feichei didn't wait for a reply. He picked up Feimo, Hassashi, Wu Ming, and Xiaoi and placed them on the Table so that the four Creatures could see the Computer Screen. Then, he typed on the Computer:
[Feimo, Xiaoi, Wu Ming, you stay at Ho to create the Pretense that I'm Ho. Noah, pay attention to reminding them: around 9 PM, go to the Washroom, turn on the Washroom light, fill the Bathtub with Hot Water, drain the Hot Water after half an hour, turn off the Washroom light. Around 10 PM, turn on the Bedroom light, turn off the Living Room light after three minutes. The Ti doesn't need to be too precise.]
Even without Sawada Hiroki's reminder, he wouldn't forget the two FBI Agents outside the Apartnt.
Judging from the Surveillance Situation, Akai Shuichi was staking out near Doctor Agasa's House with two people. The FBI's focus was definitely on Haibara Ai. Jodie had contacted several foreign Face today, she should be Dispatching Personnel and preparing for a Duel.
In addition, since last Night, there had been two FBI people Surveillance near his Apartnt and near Mori Detective Agency, and they hadn't left.
The FBI was probably worried that Belmode was playing a 'sche within a sche within a sche', seemingly wanting to Take Action against Haibara Ai, but in reality, she was diverting people to Take Action against him or soone from Mori Detective Agency. Although Akai Shuichi would think this Possibility was Unlikely after seeing Haibara Ai's Photo, they still had to consider this Possibility.
Arranging Personnel at his Place and Mori Detective Agency could also prevent Belmode from using the Safety of these people as her last Trump Card for a Sure Kill.
In short, in these few days, the FBI near his Apartnt and Mori Detective Agency wouldn't withdraw, and the Surveillance would continue until the FBI and Belmode had a Victory or Defeat.
Belmode definitely knew about the FBI's Arrangent. Tonight, asking him out was just to Take a Gamble, to see if she could take advantage of him.
If he was careless because of a Cold, because he hadn't taken Action Recently, or because of the apparent calm, or if he didn't Sense the FBI Surveillance nearby, then, according to his habits, he would directly use his own Face to leave the Apartnt, find a Place with a large Crowd nearby, such as a Station or Shopping Mall, Disguise, change Clothes, Concealnt in the Crowd to leave, arrive at the Place where another Car was parked, drive away, and then drive to the eting Location.
In this way, the two people Surveillance Outside would discover that he went out in the middle of the Night, Tracking him all the way to So Place, and then be deceived by his Disguise Technique, losing him as a Tracking Goal.
What would FBI people think if a person with a severe Cold who had been staying at Ho for days suddenly went out in the middle of the Night and Secretive went to a Shopping Mall or similar Place to shake off Tracking?
It might be okay at other Tis, but in the Situation of 'having a Cold and not Going Out for many days', his sudden run out in the middle of the Night was unreasonable.
The FBI would speculate that he must have sothing Important to do, even if he had to do it while dragging his sick Body, and it was sothing that couldn't be Tracked or discovered.
Once Suspicion arose and they started Staring and Investigating, he would be locked down by the FBI, and it would beco very inconvenient to act in the future.
But since he knew that there were FBI people Surveillance nearby and knew the current Situation of all parties, breaking the Sche was simple—
Don't walk out of the Main Entrance in a grand manner, create the Pretense that he was always at Ho.
"I Understand, Godfather, you an to make the Surveillance people think you are at Ho, right?" In the Computer, Sawada Hiroki lowered his voice, "Don't worry, I will remind them when the Ti cos."
Chi Feichei's eyes flickered, and his voice was very soft, "Noah, cough cough, record my Sound..."
Ho Delivery Service is not only the most Joyful existence, but also the easiest thing to have Pitfalls.
…
8:00 PM.
On the Apartnt Rooftop where Chi Feichei lived, a Rope shot towards the Rooftop of the Apartnt Building next door. The cone at the end wrapped around the Railing twice and got stuck.
A Black Shadow pulled the Rope and quickly passed between the two Buildings. When it was about to reach the End Point Rooftop, the taut Rope suddenly broke. The section of Rope in the Black Shadow's hand quickly extended, taking the Black Shadow all the way down to the third Floor of the Building.
After flipping through the Window of the third Floor Safety Passage, the Black Shadow took out a Lighter and lit the Rope, and then Clean Up the Trace on the Window sill.
Gray-yellow Flas lit up on the Rope, quickly burning upwards.
After doing all this, the Black Shadow turned around and walked towards the Elevator, while Reaching Out to cover his Mouth, suppressing the Cough in his Throat.
Chi Feichei, wearing a Disguise Mask of a Middle-aged Man's Face and dressed like an ordinary Office Worker, stepped into the Elevator and then slowed down the urge to Cough.
Pit-fall Belmode!
8:11 PM.
A silver-gray Car was parked on the Streetside of the Luxury Apartnt area in Beihu Town. Two foreign Face were sitting in the Car, paying attention to the Movent of the Apartnt next door.
A Middle-aged Man in a Suit and leather shoes walked quickly across the Sidewalk, his back slightly hunched, holding a Mobile Phone in one Hand and putting it to his ear, nodding obsequiously to the other side, "Yes, yes, Section Chief... I'm on the Street..."
The two foreign Face paid a little attention, then withdrew their Line of Sight and continued to Stare at the Apartnt next door.
9:26 PM.
A Leopard Ho Delivery Car drove to the front of the Apartnt and stopped. After the Delivery Person got out of the Car, he went around to the cargo box and took out a Box, walking into the Apartnt Building that was being Surveillanced by two foreign Face.
In the Car, the person in the Passenger Seat whispered a few Words to the Earphone, opened the Car Door, and pretended to follow the Delivery Person casually.
The First Floor of the Apartnt Building had a Glass Security Door that required card verification. The Delivery Person, holding the Box, found the Number 1102 on the Display Screen of the Doorbell Intercom in front of the Security Door and pressed it.
"Ding-ling-ding-ling! Ding-ling-ding-ling!..."
The Doorbell rang for a while before the Intercom was connected. A young male voice, slightly hoarse, said, "This is the Chi Family, cough, may I ask who this is?"
"Excuse , is this Mr. Chi Feichei of Room 1102?" the Delivery Person said, "I am a Delivery Person from Leopard Ho Delivery. Here is a Ho Delivery for you, which requires personal Sign for."
"It's ... cough cough cough... but I didn't order Things."
"Ah, but..." The Delivery Person lowered his Head to Confirm the Printed Order, "It is indeed Things delivered to you."
"Then please Trouble you to put it in the Storage Mailbox at the Entrance... cough, sorry, I'm not feeling well."
"Okay, no Problem, then I won't bother you, please take a good Rest."
The Delivery Person waited for the Intercom to be disconnected, turned around and went to the Mailbox at the Entrance, looked up and found the Cabinet marked 1102, put the Ho Delivery in, and closed the Cabinet Door.
The foreign Face Man stood in front of the Intercom, pretending to look for the Floor, and after the Delivery Person turned around and left, used the Reflection of the Glass Security Door to Stare at the Delivery Person getting in the Car and leaving, and whispered to the Earphone, "Mr. Akai, the person has left."
"Understood, you continue to Stare, soone will change shifts at five o'clock tomorrow morning."
On the other end of the Earphone Communication, Akai Shuichi breathed a sigh of relief in his Heart.
When he just heard that it was a Ho Delivery for Chi Feichei, he couldn't help but be on high alert.
Belmode, that Woman, knew Disguise Technique, they had to be on guard, what if she pretended to be a Delivery Person to Kidnapping Chi Feichei?
Although Unlikely, they still had to be Careful.
Fortunately, it seed to be a Normal Ho Delivery, and had nothing to do with that Woman.
…
9:28 PM.
The Street where Line Club was located was full of Cars driven by Guests.
In one of the Cars, Chi Feichei, wearing Raki Disguise Face and a Mask, waited for Ubu Saika and two young Woman to co out of the Club and walk away before taking off the Earphone plugged in his left ear, pulling up his Hat, getting out of the Car and entering the Club.
Belmode really dug a good Pitfall.
The Driving Distance from his Apartnt was forty minutes, plus the Ti for Disguise in the middle, Observation of whether anyone was Tracking, and Confirmation of whether the Vicinity of the eting Location was Safety, it was probably an Hour.
The Promise was to et at the Club at 9:30 PM, so at the latest 8:30 PM, he had to Go Out.
If a Ho Delivery was delivered to his Apartnt Building after he went out, and the Delivery Person rang the Doorbell but no one answered, the FBI who were Surveillance Outside the Apartnt Building would discover that he was not at Ho.
That Ho Delivery might be a Lottery Ticket from so Ho, or an Invitation Letter from a certain Company with Gifts attached.
As long as they took away the Ho Delivery that was supposed to be delivered to him today in advance, and put it into the Ho Delivery Truck leaving Beika Town after 6 PM, when the Leopard Ho Delivery Delivery Person was preparing to End today's delivery and checking and verifying the delivery items at 9 PM, they would discover that his Ho Delivery was 'missed', and deliver it to his Apartnt after 9 PM.
In this way, even if he Suspected that it was Suspicious for this Ho Delivery to arrive when he was about to Go Out, and went to Investigate the sender, the sender would Reply - 'Yes, we sent it to you', and if he went to Investigate Leopard Ho Delivery, the Delivery Person would also Reply - 'Sorry, the reason why it was delivered so late was Because we missed it, and we sent it to you when we found it during the evening Inspection'.
Everything would only look like a Coincidence.
And the FBI's Staring at him and Investigating him would be carried out Secretive, even if they found out that he was an Organization mber, they would not imdiately do anything to him, but choose to play the Long Ga, so that when he discovered that he was locked down by the FBI, he probably wouldn't know when he was locked down.
Fortunately, he was Prepared. He had Sawada Hiroki record several Dialogue Recording of his Sound at Ho, all of which were commonly used Dialogue Recording. When needed, Sawada Hiroki could cut and synthesize them to Handle ergencies.
Belmode actually wanted to use Ho Delivery Service to Pitfall him? Impossible.
After Chi Feichei entered the Club, he saw a touch of silver in the Crowd at a Glance. He walked to that Table and noticed the Cigarette in Gin's mouth, who was sitting Leisurely with his legs crossed in front of the Table. His sitting Action paused, and he changed to sit on the Chair furthest from Gin.
Gin glanced sideways: "..."
Explain, what's the aning of this act of disgust?
Belmode wore Sunglasses and a Long Trench Coat, looked at Chi Feichei sitting down, and a smile appeared on the corner of her Mouth, "Your Cold is very serious, Raki."
Chi Feichei 'uh-huh' and said Nothing Else.
Gin Reached Out and pressed the Cigarette into the Ashtray on the Table, "Belmode, you should get straight to the Point, right? What's the Matter with calling both and Raki over here? He looks like he's not far from dying of Illness."
Chi Feichei: "..."
Don't bully him for not wanting to Speak Out.
"Sorry, Raki, I didn't want to Trouble you Originally," Belmode took out a Poster and put it on the Table, "But there is indeed sothing Important..."
(End of Chapter)
The poster had a cold color tone, and on it was a dilapidated large ship floating in the air.
Beside it, in blood-red letters, it read, 'Ghost Captain - The Ghost Ship carries monsters back to the human world, the nightmare that should have sunk into hell returns again.' In the lower corner were details such as the release date and producer.
"This is the 'Ghost Captain' series movie that was released last year. There are so very interesting things in it, seemingly hinting at sothing about the Organization. And those plots were almost entirely decided and revised by the producer, Senzo Fukuura, alone. That Guy has been acting a bit secretive since last year. Although we can't rule out coincidence, The Boss values this very much and wants us to confirm as soon as possible whether his actions are coincidental or intentional, and if anyone is instructing him behind the scenes," Belmode said, taking out another photo and placing it on the table. She flipped through emails on her mobile phone, letting Gin and Chi Feichei at the table see, her tone becoming serious, "The Boss's intention is, after confirmation, regardless of whether there's a connection, eliminate the person."
Chi Feichei looked over. The email address was correct, and the content was correct.
As for the photo, it was of a Middle-aged Man with a figure-eight mustache, gaunt cheeks, and thick eyebrows.
Gin glanced at the email content. "What about Rum?"
"That Woman from MI6 has appeared in London," Belmode flipped the photo over, placing it face down on the table. "Rum needs to investigate the plan to infiltrate MI6. At the very least, he needs to find out that Woman's Contact Information and the timing of her contact with MI6, and look for an opportunity to eliminate her. Originally, I was thinking of asking Raki to help with Disguise and take a couple of trips to London when I couldn't get away, to make it easier to track that Woman's Action Trajectory. However, he has a Cold and obviously can't travel that far, nor is it convenient for him to Disguise his identity. So, Rum will have to put in more effort to investigate. As for the others, they all have matters to investigate at the mont."
Chi Feichei: "..."
Speak properly. Even if it wasn't about him, Belmode would have found a way to send them all away. Don't make it sound like his Cold seriously disrupted the pace.
However, the points 'possibly knows about the Organization' and 'possibly contacted the Police' are indeed enough to put this person in the category of 'confirm and Clean Up as soon as possible.'
"What do you intend to do?" Gin asked coldly.
"In three days, there will be a Cruise Ship departing from Tokyo Pier. That producer will hold a Makeup Ball on this Cruise Ship, gathering a group of people dressed up as monsters. We can take this opportunity to arrange a Search Command of his Residence and Office Location. In addition, we'll arrange for people to get on board to gather Intelligence. These are the Invitation Letters," Belmode said, taking out two Envelopes sealed with Sealing Wax Stamps and placing them on the table. "I've already lured over everyone who might be involved. Although, barring accidents, we probably won't need to Start Doing it ourselves, but if my arrangents don't work, then find a way to eliminate the relevant people together."
Gin snorted coldly. "Then what about you? Are you preparing to go on the Search Command or to participate in that Ridiculous Party on the Cruise Ship?"
The light Between Seats was dim, and Belmode's Eyes were hidden behind Sunglasses, making it impossible to see the Emotion in her eyes. But a mysterious Smilingly returned to her lips. "I have an important Clue here that I need to Confirm A Bit first. You No Need to wait for . If I Gain anything, I'll tell you."
Chi Feichei picked up the Envelope on the table, not deliberately looking at Gin's Reaction.
No Need to look. No matter what Gin's Expression was, his Heart was probably on the verge of exploding... no, it had already Exploded.
Belmode Seemingly has always been like this. Right, and Bourbon too. Whereabouts unknown, and they never reveal what they're doing. When asked, they just say, 'I have a Clue, Confidentiality, I'll tell you when I Confirm it.'
Although it's Said that it's a good thing for Intelligence Personnel to conceal their Whereabouts, and it's okay to Cover-up personal Investigation ans, but even Investigation Progress, Plans, and other Information are not revealed at all. When asked, they are still evasive. No wonder Gin hates Mysterious Doctrine.
Gin kept a cold Face and didn't ask Belmode what Clue it was in the end. Even if he asked, he wouldn't get an Answer.
"Alright, don't be angry..."
Belmode Said softly, sensing the Waiter coming over, she stopped and Turned Head to Look at the Waiter.
The Waiter bent down, keeping the Tray just a little above the Desktop, and proceeded to place three Glass of Wine Cocktails on the Table. He Said softly, "This is the Silver Bullet you ordered. According to your Intention, we used the Anise Wine Recipe. The Anise Wine is also made with the Rakija you specified."
Chi Feichei didn't Look at Belmode. After tearing open the Envelope, he looked at the Invitation Letter inside, but his Intentions were not on the Invitation Letter.
Silver Bullet, Silver Bullet, made with 40ml of dry Gin, 10ml of Netherlands Gin, and 10ml of Lemon Juice, shaken evenly and poured into a glass.
And because Netherlands Gin is Liquor infused with Anise, Silver Bullet also has another Recipe: 30ml Gin, 15ml Anise Wine, and 15ml Lemon Juice.
Since the Waiter Said So, then Belmode Should Be specified the second cocktail Recipe, and also specified Rakija.
But then again, in Legend, Silver Bullet is sothing that eliminates Werewolf, Zombie, Vampire, and other Evil Creatures. If Belmode hadn't suddenly ordered 'Silver Bullet' tonight, he wouldn't have even rembered the Recipe for 'Silver Bullet'. Except for Gin, it's still Gin...
Right, the later Recipe doesn't count. The original Recipe only has Gin.
Should he be Suspicion A Bit that Gin has a Problem?
Unlikely. If Gin, this Murderer, can be whitewashed, then there would be no Criminals in this World.
...
After Serious Business was finished, the Three People didn't stay any longer. No one even touched the three Glasses of Wine on the table.
After Chi Feichei slid down a rope from the Building Next Door to Ho, he listened to the Surveillance Recording of Doctor Agasa's House from the ti he was away, finished watching the Videos, refused Wu Ming's Suggestion to get into Bed and provide 'Purring Therapy', Wash Up, and went to sleep.
The Next Day, Chi Feichei took Wu Ming to the Hospital for a check-up and to have the stitches removed. After returning Ho, he continued Staying Ho, crazily peeping into other people's Privacy.
The Search Command matter wasn't urgent. Gin hadn't yet Confird how to Arrangent the Action. Before it was Confird, he didn't want to run around everywhere and arouse the Vigilance of those two FBI outside the Apartnt.
When the ti cos, he would still have to leave by sliding down a rope from high altitude...
On the other side, Jodie had already submitted her Resignation application to the School. Under the Proposal of Mouri Ran and Suzuki Sonoko, she was preparing to have a farewell Party with the two Girls. Just when they went to Purchase Things, they encountered an Incident.
It wasn't a Murder Case, just shoplifting at a Supermarket.
Mouri Ran, in the Under Circumstances of the Detective Boys' collective absence, figured out the Answer herself. When she was Unlikely, she received a Phone Call from Conan using Kudo Shinichi's Na.
"...Most Detective, before Say Out the Answer, will also feel a bit uneasy in their Heart, Because there might be sothing they haven't noticed," the Famous Detective encouraged. "So, when Deduction hits the Target, the Enjoynt is also twice as much as others! I Just don't want to deprive you of that most Joyful Portion..."
"I, I understand," Mouri Ran replied, her Face flushed. "Although Seemingly not everyone likes Deduction, but I Should Be... like you."
Conan's Brain suddenly flashed with 'dislike Deduction Chi Feichei'. The corner of his mouth twitched A Bit, and he quickly threw Chi Feichei's Image out of his Brain.
In this sweet, sweet Ti, why think about That Guy!
Right, those who dislike Deduction are all Monsters. Ran will definitely like Deduction just like him.
After hanging up the Phone Call, Mouri Ran filled the vacant Detective seat, completed the Deduction, and successfully Purchased Snacks and Beer at the Supermarket. She and Suzuki Sonoko went to Jodie's House to have a Party.
Jodie also went Upstairs to Call on Isobe Nagisa. Although Isobe Nagisa had annoyed her for a while, they had at least been Getting Along as Friends for so long. At her farewell Party, the first person she thought of was still Isobe Nagisa.
Listening to Mouri Ran, Suzuki Sonoko, and Isobe Nagisa chat about recent Trends, Gossip matters inside and outside School, and even Chi Feichei who had fallen into a Shut-in State Due To a Cold, Jodie found it a bit funny and also felt a Sigh in her Heart.
Suzuki Sonoko Suspicion that Chi Feichei was secretly in Romance and went on a Date with a Girl, but she knew that Chi Feichei had really been sick and Staying Ho at Ho these past few days.
According to the Present Situation, in that Woman's four Photos, Chi Feichei and Mouri Ran both belonged to the Category of people being Concealed from.
That Tea-colored Hair Girl and the Kid from the Detective Agency were Concealing things. Belmode, that Woman, was also Concealing things sohow. And they, the FBI, were of course happy to Conceal things as well.
Correct. No Matter whether a Storm is coming or has already passed, ordinary citizens just need to live a stable and peaceful Life like this. The bloody rain and fishy wind should be left for them to face.
Looking at the simple and lively Appearance of the young Girls, and thinking about the sincere reluctance of everyone when she said goodbye to her Classmates in Class during the Dayti, she suddenly felt a bit reluctant too.
An Hour Afterwards, Jodie, with too many Matters in her Heart, got drunk and lay prone on the Table. Her Brain was Stunned. At one mont, she was in a farewell ntality, missing the people she had t during this ti. At another mont, her Brain continuously replayed the Day her Father was murdered by Belmode.
Mouri Ran made a Call to tell Mori Kogoro that she would Rest at Jodie's House for one Night. After hanging up the Phone Call, she noticed the drunk Isobe Nagisa Getting Up, a bit Accidentally. "Miss Isogai, are you still going back?"
"Yeah, I still need to go see the Shop's Renovation Tomorrow, and I'll Get Up very early, so I won't disturb your sleep," Isobe Nagisa said, her Face full of drunk Intentions. She waved her Hand casually and walked towards the Entrance. "Anyway, it's Just Upstairs, just a couple of steps away."
Suzuki Sonoko blankly watched the Door close with a 'bang'. It took her a while to return to her senses. Smilingly, she Sigh said, "Miss Isogai's Personality is very good, Oh, But her Alcohol Tolerance isn't great. Teacher is the sa. Holding a farewell Party and actually getting Oneself drunk."
"Teacher drank too much," Mouri Ran said, smiling as she Got Up. "I'm going to the Restroom first."
"Okay," Suzuki Sonoko rolled up her Sleeve. "Then I'll Packing Up here first!"
Mouri Ran closed the Door and went to the Restroom. When she was preparing to wash her Hands, she suddenly Discovered a small white corner sticking out from the lower corner of the Mirror. Curious, she Reached Out and pulled open the Mirror, imdiately stiffening in her Original Place.
Behind the Mirror were Photos pasted one after another.
Photos of Kudo Shinichi in Knight (Ga Class) attire at the Teitan High School Garden Party, Photos of Hattori Heiji also at the Garden Party, Photos of Chi Feichei walking into School, Photos of her lying on the Table and talking to Suzuki Sonoko after Class at School, Photos of Conan touching his chin in thought...
All the Photos were taken from a sneak photo Angle.
And among them, on Conan's Photo, 'cool guy' was written in English Language with a Red Ballpoint Pen.
Mouri Ran returned to her senses, her Expression sinking into solemnity. She Reached Out to take down the Photo Above and looked at the Photo pressed underneath.
On her Photo was 'angel', and Brother Hichiji's was... 'cold highness'.
Previously, she Seemingly had heard Teacher Judy Say sothing about it, but No Matter what, taking sneak photos of so many Photos is Wrong. It's like a pervert.
In addition, Jodie had Said to them during the Dayti, 'I've always been in Search of a Puzzle, finally found it, So I'm leaving.' These Words made her always Feeling a bit off...
Happy Lantern Festival! There will be an extra update tonight, along with the accumulated reward updates.
(End of Chapter)
Upstairs, after Isobe Nagisa returned ho, she yawned, her eyes clearing up a lot. She took out her Mobile Phone and sent a Text ssage to Chi Feichei.
[Old Dad, I heard you caught a Cold? Jodie is leaving Japan, she has already resigned from the school. Today, her two Student are having a farewell Party at her Ho. I heard them say you were sick and the Doctor said you should try not to talk, so I wanted to send you a Text ssage to tell you, I think Jodie is a bit weird. Looking at her Palms, Arms, and other places, she should have been training in Combat and Marksmanship all along, not like an Ordinary Person. But she is an Arican People, and she seems to have a rich Old Dad, maybe it's an Interest she developed since she was a Child. I didn't Care About it originally, but she Seemingly tested Recently, so I paid attention a bit.]
[When did she test you?]
Still her Old Dad's Style, just get used to it.
Isobe Nagisa went to the Washroom while typing quickly and sending Text ssage.
[I can't be sure when she started either, it's just that her Curiosity is a bit excessive, which seems a bit abnormal. By the Way, she also inquired about you to , asking how we t. I don't know much about Old Dad's Matters either, so I didn't Intentionally Conceal anything, wanting to See what she was going to do, but she suddenly Decided to leave... Old Dad, do you Say she might be a Special Agent sent by Arica to Japan to investigate Secret Intelligence? Now that the Intelligence gathering is complete, she is preparing to go back to report.]
In an Apartnt Building several streets away, Chi Feichei flipped through the long Text ssage content.
Isobe Nagisa is also the Daughter of a Shadow Planner after all. Although she hasn't learned from her Old Dad who is good at planning bank robberies, she is still Keenness enough.
Her Speculation about Jodie's Identity is also right on the Point.
"Buzz..."
Before Chi Feichei could Reply, the Mobile Phone vibrated, and a new Text ssage ca in.
[Should We Report to Police? No, no, this kind of Matter should be told to the Public Security Police? Or the Foreign Affairs Departnt?]
Isobe Nagisa asked very seriously, completely unaware that she had turned a beautiful Friendship into Plastic Friendship.
She really wasn't Intentionally pretending to be drunk tonight, it's just a habit... cough, since discovering that Jodie's Behavior was a bit strange, she had been Guarding Against it every ti she drank with Jodie, pretending to be drunk, but actually very sober, just afraid that Jodie would get any Intelligence from her.
Although she doesn't have anything worth the attention of Spies and Special Agent, her Old Dad does.
Her Old Dad is the Heir of a Transnational Corporation, who knows if soone wants to do sothing harmful to her Old Dad.
Chi Feichei received the Text ssage and seriously Considered it, but quickly gave up on this Idea.
He wanted to give Jodie a free tour of the tropolitan Police Departnt. The FBI has changed shifts now, and the new people who have been transferred are still squatting Downstairs from him, which ans he still has to drag his 'Sick Body' to walk the Rope Sliding and cross the Building to et Gin Tomorrow, but...
Without Evidence, it is difficult for the Police to investigate Jodie based on Isobe Nagisa's Words alone, and if Jodie is held back by the tropolitan Police Departnt, it may lead to Uncertain Transformation in the Plot.
[No Evidence, the Police won't believe it, and she is relieved to let other people be guests at Ho and get drunk Oneself, she Should Not be that kind of Person.]
[Also Correct, then Maybe I am too suspicious, then Old Dad, you Rest early, rember to take Cold dicine oh!]
Ordinary Person Chi Feichei Looked at Isobe Nagisa's Text ssage, put the Mobile Phone on the Table, and silently flipped through the Scenes taken by the Crows with Pinhole Cara, asking Sawada Hiroki to intercept and archive the Scenes of people who are confird to be FBI and Suspected FBI.
Sawada Hiroki helped to intercept and insert full-body Photos, Face Photos, and Car Photos one by one.
He was responsible for recording the Clues observed in the past few days, Text descriptions of height, Body Shape, appearance Characteristics, whether he is Right-handed Person or left-handed Person, subtle habits when Action, current Temporary Residence, Car Model and license plate...
Of course, this also included Information about Akai Shuichi and Jodie.
Having both a Daughter and a Son is Indeed Happiness.
...
The next day, five o'clock in the Afternoon.
Beside a Utility Pole at an Alley Entrance, a Middle-aged Man in his forties leaned against the Wall, with ssy Black Short Hair, a square face, high cheekbones, deep eye sockets with Dark Circles (Under Eyes), and a blue Suit with Wrinkle in inconspicuous Places. No matter how you Look at it, he looks like a frustrated Middle-aged Man.
The Middle-aged Man held a Mobile Phone in one Hand and put it to his ear to listen to the Phone Call. When he lowered his Head, the Wrinkle beside his eyebrows revealed Fatigue and Weakness, Seemingly suffering a heavy blow from society and Reality.
People passing by in the distance did not pay too much attention, and naturally had no way of knowing that when the Man spoke in a low voice, his Sound was clear, Neutral and young, without any feeling of decadence of being obsequious.
"Vermouth?"
"Yes," Mouri Ran on the other end of the Phone Said, "It's very Weird English Language, Probably a Na or sothing, I want to Ask you if you have heard of this kind of English Language."
"Heard of it," Chi Feichei Said, coughing twice in a low voice, "It's a kind of Vermouth."
Mouri Ran was surprised, "Wh-where did you hear it?"
"It's a kind of Vermouth," Chi Feichei Said, coughing twice in a low voice, "Teacher Mouri wants to drink?"
"Uh, n-no..." Mouri Ran's eyes turned into dots, after recovering, she continued, "It's my Father who received a boring Letter, the Signature is very strange, inside are so provocative Words, I want to Ask if it was done by soone who hates him, whether it will be sent to his acquaintances, so I Ask you if you have received it..."
"I have been... cough, haven't Go Out much Recently, and haven't Looked at the Mailbox either."
"Is that so, then there is No Need to Look, so as not to affect your Mood, Brother Hichiji, is your Cold still not better?"
"It's much better today."
Chi Feichei told the truth.
In the morning, he used Rope Sliding and Disguise to leave from the Building Next Door and scouted around the Fukuura Senzou Residence, the producer of the "\\"Ghost Captain\\" Series Production".
By the Afternoon, although the feeling of Weakness in his Whole Body had not weakened, the Symptoms of sore throat and chest tightness had eased a lot, and the Cough was not so frequent.
"Then it seems that Resting at Ho is very useful, Brother Hichiji, then you should Rest well, pay attention not to blow the Wind again, Otherwise the Cold will worsen and it will be very Troubleso."
"Got it, I'm not in the Mood to run around."
On the Second Floor of Mori Detective Agency, Mouri Ran stood in front of Mori Kogoro's Desk and quietly breathed a sigh of relief after hanging up the Phone Call.
"Uncle, don't move, I'll add another Eye for you!" Suzuki Sonoko was helping Mori Kogoro put on Monster Makeup on his Face.
Mori Kogoro sat on the Sofa, looking at his Face in a Mirror, depressedly Said, "I would rather be a handso Vampire Mr.."
Mouri Ran turned her back to the two people and seriously dialed Doctor Agasa's Ho Phone.
"Ah, Doctor, it's , I'm Ran."
"Ran, what's the Matter with you Call?"
"It's like this, I want to Ask you, do you know anyone nad Vermouth?"
"Vermouth?" Doctor Agasa who answered the Phone pretended to be stupid, "Sorry Ran, I haven't heard of this Na."
Aside, Conan held a Letter with the Signature 'Vermouth' on the Envelope, looking down at it with a solemn Expression.
Haibara Ai, wearing a Mask, sat on the Bed, also without saying a Word.
"The Office received a very strange Letter, the Signature is this, inside are so mumbo-jumbo Words, inviting Father to Yokohama the day after Tomorrow to attend a Cruise Ship Costu Party, and also provoking Say to bravely accept the Challenge to be considered a Tokyo Person," Mouri Ran asked in Doubt, "Brother Hichiji Said that is a Codena (Alcohol Na)..."
"Li-Liquor Na?!"
Doctor Agasa exclaid in alarm, realizing that he had lost his composure, he slowed down and changed his Expression drastically, "Hissashi Said so, then... is he at the Detective Agency?"
"Whoosh."
"Whoosh."
Two Little Heads instantly gathered beside the Receiver held by Doctor Agasa.
Haibara Ai and Conan knelt in unison and lay on the Table where the Landline Phone was placed, eavesdropping with solemn Faces.
"No, I was thinking whether he would also receive this kind of Invitation Letter, I Called to Ask him before."
"Uh, then what did he Say?"
"His Cold Seemingly hasn't gotten better yet, his Sound is still quite ntal State, but he is Coughing, he Said that he hasn't Go Out much these two Days, and hasn't Looked at the Mailbox, so he doesn't know whether he has received that kind of Letter," Mouri Ran hesitated, but still didn't Say those Photos she saw at Jodie's Ho, although she had a bad Premonition, but what if it was a misunderstanding, "But he Said 'Vermouth' is a kind of Vermouth, and also Asked if Father wanted to drink..."
"Is that so," Doctor Agasa pretended to be casual in his Tone, "Then do you Intention to go to the appointnt of that Invitation Letter?"
"Father is already preparing, Sonoko is helping him Makeup."
"Makeup?"
"Yes, the Letter Said, because it is Halloween's Costu Party, please dress up as Monsters, and go with Companions wearing Black Clothes or Skirts, so Father and Sonoko are preparing, As For Brother Hichiji, he Said he is not in the Mood to run around, plus he has a Cold, he Will Not go to blow the Sea Breeze on the Sea again, right."
Doctor Agasa breathed a sigh of relief, "Then what about you? Ran, do you also Intention to go together?"
"How could I possibly go to that kind of Party full of Monsters and Ghosts?!" Mouri Ran exclaid in panic.
Doctor Agasa: "..."
Just listening to it makes her scared, it seems Ran Will Not go.
Mouri Ran cald down, a little embarrassed, and lowered her Voice again, "Doctor, have you received this kind of strange Letter?"
"No."
"Then how is Ai's Situation? Is the Cold better?"
"It's better than the previous two Days, but she still has a bit of Cough and Fever," Doctor Agasa couldn't help but Sigh, "The Recent Colds Seemingly are very Stubborn, Probably need to Rest for another two Days."
"Then let her Rest well," Mouri Ran only saw Photos of her, Chi Feichei, and Conan marked with red Characters in the Mirror of Jodie's Ho Washroom, and didn't think Haibara Ai would be involved, paused, and then Said, "I still have one Matter I want to Troubleso Doctor with, the Letter attached to the Invitation Letter ntioned 'incompetent Detective', I think since Father received this kind of Letter, Will Shinichi also receive it, can you Troubleso you to help Look at the Mailbox at his Ho? If there is this kind of Letter but you don't tell him, that Fellow Will be very long-winded in the future..."
"Okay, then I'll go Look, and I'll Call you again if there is one," Doctor Agasa Looked at Conan, "But I think you Should Not have received it..."
"Also, Troubleso Doctor to keep Confidentiality from Conan, Conan likes to run around, if he goes to that kind of Place, Maybe he will be involved in Danger, and Moreover..." Mouri Ran thought of those Photos at Jodie's Ho and was a little lost in thought.
"Moreover?" Doctor Agasa asked in Doubt.
Mouri Ran ca back to her senses and Cover-up, "It's that Elentary School Winter Vacation is coming to an End, tell him to go Ho earlier, don't wander around Outside."
The three people whose Photos were marked, she Definitely Will Not go to that kind of Party, she wants to go to Teacher Judy's Place to See what Teacher Judy wants to do, Hissashi Brother Said he is not in the Mood, Probably really Will Not go, the only one that makes her uneasy is Conan, but As Long As Doctor Agasa doesn't Say it, and doesn't arouse that Child's Curiosity, then Conan Will Not know about that Party either.
As Long As they don't go, they Will Not be fooled!
