Chi Feichei arrived at the Entrance Hall Outside and opened the Shoe Cabinet.
What he found strange was that the Cri Scene was cleaned too thoroughly.
Sachiko Nishimura's Chair still showed signs of being pulled back and getting up, but the other party's Chair did not. In Other Words, the other party restored the Chair after the Cri.
Moreover, the Floor and the surface of the Chair didn't leave any Trace of him being there...
Only soone who has undergone Professional Training, and also needs to wear Gloves and a Hat, and clean up the Cri Scene afterwards, can completely avoid leaving any personal Trace, making it comparable to the Organization's House Search Action.
Moreover, this person also has Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder and must arrange the Chair neatly.
But if a Boyfriend dressed like this ca for a Date and didn't touch any Food, wouldn't Sachiko Nishimura Think it's strange?
The Cri Scene had no Trace of Struggle, indicating Sachiko Nishimura had no Guarding Against at all.
It's Possible that Sachiko Nishimura knows her Boyfriend is engaged in special Work, or that the other party falsely claid to have a Disease and can't be exposed to Wind.
But there was no Trace of wiping...
Even If the other party wore Gloves, As Long As the Gloves touched the surface of those Things, it Will Possible erase Sachiko Nishimura's Fingerprint and leave a wiping Trace. Even without a single wiping Trace, he couldn't do it.
In this World, Probably only Xiao i's kind of soul body can achieve 'picking up Things and smashing soone to Death without leaving contact Trace'. That's Because of this, he Suspicion Sachiko Nishimura's Boyfriend is fundantally Non-Existent.
This is also easy to Verify, just Look at the Shoe Cabinet.
Japan has a Lifestyle Habit of changing into Slippers when Guests co to the Door, unless they forcibly break in, otherwise they Will change Shoes.
The Shoe Cabinet in the Entrance Hall often hides many Clues.
Haibara Ai Followed Chi Feichei to the Entrance Hall, watching Chi Feichei Open the Shoe Cabinet. After Seeing the Situation inside the Shoe Cabinet, she couldn't help but be stunned A Bit, squatting down to Look at Chi Feichei putting on Gloves and inspecting the Slippers pair by pair.
The Slippers in the Shoe Cabinet are all the sa Style, with a full range of sizes, including small sizes for Children, dium sizes for Female Guests, and slightly larger Slippers for Male Guests or Female Guests with larger feet. Each size has more than one pair.
This is very common in Japan. Due To Disposable Slippers being uncomfortable, providing them to Guests Will seem neglectful. And Throwing away Slippers after only one use is too luxurious. So, Hos Will prepare many Slippers. The Style is unisex, and Because Slippers being a little bigger or smaller doesn't matter, As Long As they prepare Slippers that general Child, Male, and Female can wear, then it's Okay.
And Because of the materials used, Slippers will beco slightly concave where the Shoes and soles of the feet make contact after prolonged use. But in the Shoe Cabinet, only two pairs of Slippers show Trace of frequent use and cleaning. The rest are very new.
Chi Feichei put on Gloves and Took Out all the Slippers to Look at them once. "Male Slippers show no Trace of use, not even a single pair. The sa goes for Children's Slippers. Among the Female Slippers, three pairs have been used frequently. Two of them have been used the most, and the other pair a little less. But judging by their Appearance, all three pairs have been used for more than two months."
"Whether or Not it's like you, cleaning out and Throwing Out all the Slippers every A Period of Ti?" Haibara Ai Speculation Say, "But she only Clean Up the Slippers used by Guests, keeping the ones she usually wears and is Already used to."
She Suspects Chi Feichei has Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder.
At Ho, things are often cleaned spotless, even Cracks are thoroughly Cleaned Up. The Trash Bag in the Trash Can is Never filled to the brim. Whenever there's Ti, he Packs Up and conveniently Throws it away Go Downstairs. Even Slippers are completely replaced every A Period of Ti, including the Slippers Chi Feichei wears Oneself, which are also frequently replaced with new ones.
The Slippers she wore on the Day she was picked up by Chi Feichei were Already Thrown away by Chi Feichei long ago. Afterwards, every A Period of Ti, she Will discover that the Slippers she wore Last Ti, which felt quite comfortable, are gone, replaced by a Shoe Cabinet full of new ones.
Although the Style is the Sa, there's Nothing Bad about wearing new ones. But every ti she can't find the Slippers she wore Last Ti, it still gives her a Weird Feeling.
Especially the Slippers she wore the First Ti she went to Chi Feichei's Ho, those Slippers with such Commoration aning, Actually were Already Thrown away by Chi Feichei. This made her feel A Bit depressed...
Wait, Wait, Brother Hichiji Wouldn't be Guarding Against soone deducing the Guest Situation at his Ho from the use Frequency of Slippers, Right?
But that's also Wrong.
Who Would secretly Go to Chi Feichei's Ho to Look at Slippers?
Even If soone is secretly conducting Surveillance on Chi Feichei, they go there openly and legitimately every ti. If they want to know about the Visitor Situation and Lifestyle Habit at Chi Feichei's Ho, As Long As they stake out and conduct Surveillance for A Period of Ti, or Ask people in the Shops in the Vicinity, it's much more convenient and simpler than Infiltration into that Security-strict Apartnt Building and sneaking into Chi Feichei's Ho to Inspection the Shoe Cabinet.
Anyway, Brother Hichiji either has Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder and dislikes Seeing Slippers that have been used for too long, or he has Paranoia and always Suspects soone Wants to Harm him...
Chi Feichei Don't Know how far Haibara Ai's thoughts had drifted. He Took Out a pair of frequently used Slippers and a pair of Large size Slippers with no Trace of use, flipped them to the side, and let Haibara Ai See the not-so-obvious Letter and Number combination on the side of the Slippers' soles. "Factory Product Number. Except for Children's Slippers, the first four Numbers of adult Style Slippers are all the Sa."
In Japan, 'Guest Slippers Packages' Will be sold in Packaging. That is, the Sa Style cos in Large, dium, and Small sizes, so that when Custors Purchase Guest Slippers, there's No Need to waste Ti repeatedly selecting.
And these 'Slippers Packages' are mostly already packed at the factory. Except for Children's Product Numbers being Different, adult Style Slippers Will all be packaged according to the order of delivery.
Due To the Different sizes, the Numbers on Slippers of Different sizes cannot be arranged completely in order. But the Product Numbers, which are six digits long, have the sa English Language and first four Numbers, which can also indicate that they are from the sa batch of Goods and very Possible from the sa 'Slippers Package'.
"Brother Ike, Haibara, what are you doing here?" Conan also found his way to the Entrance Hall and saw Chi Feichei squatting in front of the Shoe Cabinet, with Haibara Ai Looking Aside. He poked his head into the Shoe Cabinet and Looked at it with a Glance, also being stunned A Bit. "These Slippers..."
"Slippers from the Sa batch of Product Numbers, Even If they weren't bought on the Sa Day, the interval between Purchase Tis Wouldn't be too long," Haibara Ai Help Explain the Situation. "But Female Slippers have been used frequently for more than two months. Larger Male Slippers and Children's Slippers show absolutely no Trace of use. Brother Hichiji said So after Observation."
Conan frowned, saw the Gloves in Haibara Ai's Hand, decisively Reach Out and Say, "Haibara, give the Gloves for A Bit."
The Famous Detective put on Gloves and flipped all the Slippers over again, Confirming that Chi Feichei's Judgnt was correct.
"If Not the Murderer Took Away the Slippers they used after the Cri, then that ans no Male has visited here in the past three months." Conan finished Inspection, Got Up, Looked Towards the Location of the Dining Room, and seriously announced the Outco. "Although the Slippers still have the last two Product Numbers without a Pattern, making it impossible to Judgnt Whether or Not any Slippers have been Thrown away, but combined with the fact that her Boyfriend left absolutely no Trace, not even a Trace of wiping Fingerprints, then it's Possible that the Boyfriend Miss Nishimura ntioned is fundantally Non-Existent. So Female living alone, for Safety, Indeed Will create a Pretense to the Outside that there is a Male living with them at Ho, or that there is a Male frequently visiting their Ho..."
"But is there a Need to buy such expensive Beef and Red Wine to create a Pretense?" Haibara Ai raised a Question. "Moreover, she Looked really Expectant and very Happy last night."
Conan remained in Silence, frowning as he Thought.
Also Correct, If it's to create a Pretense, there's fundantally No Need to spend So Much Money...
Chi Feichei recalled it A Bit, but couldn't recall what this Incident was about. He Guess it wasn't a Complex Case, but he Seemingly had Seen this kind of Behavior sowhere before...
"Commoration."
"Commoration?" Conan raised his Head to Look at Chi Feichei, vaguely Feeling he had found a Clue.
"Yesterday, the Boss of that at Shop Said that the 25th of every month Seemingly is the Day Miss Nishimura and her Boyfriend et," Chi Feichei Said. "It's Possible that a Boyfriend she had Already broken up with once ntioned a special Day, or it could be so Commoration Day for a Boyfriend who has Already passed away. I Previously Saw a Woman who also always Said she had a Boyfriend and Would hold a Birthday Banquet for her Boyfriend every year, but her Boyfriend had Actually died several years Before."
"In This Case, it can explain why that Person left no Trace, but Miss Nishimura was Indeed Happy and Expectant. It's a Boyfriend who once existed but is now Non-Existent. And she is Still deceiving Herself, creating a carefully prepared Date every month on the 25th. And the Photo on the Table is Probably also left behind by that Man Previously." Haibara Ai took over and Said, "If In This Case, I would rather Hope that Man is Dead, rather than that he Left her and left."
Conan gave Half-Moon Eyes. "Hey, hey... Leaving still leaves an Opportunity to reconcile. Death ans there's really no Hope. No matter how you Look at it, leaving is Better, Okay?"
Haibara Ai nodded with an indifferent Face. "Also Correct. Then just consider it my lack of consideration. Then let add another Sentence: If there's no Possibility of that Man returning, then Death is still Better."
Conan: "..."
"Takagi!" Kazunobu Chiba quickly stepped through the Door and walked towards the Dining Room. "I've Already Confird this Matter with her Friends. She and this Boyfriend Seemingly started Dating half a year Before. But her Boyfriend is Possible too busy. Seemingly, he can only co here to See Miss Nishimura on the 25th of each month. So, every month when the 25th arrives, Miss Nishimura Will appear especially Happy from early in the morning. But her Colleague Don't Know what this Boyfriend looks like or what his surna is."
"Say So, the Clues are fundantally Just Zero." Wataru Takagi had a Headache.
Kazunobu Chiba continued, "I went to Ask a Miss who is a Good Friend of hers from her school days in the Vicinity, but I couldn't get any Clues. Even about the Matter of her Recently making friends with a Kid, that Miss isn't clear..."
"Then Whether or Not we should Go Ask again?" Conan Followed to the Entrance of the Dining Room, put on an innocent Expression, and Acting Cute in a Child's Voice, "Go Ask Miss Nishimura if she had a Boyfriend Previously!"
"A Previous Boyfriend?" Wataru Takagi was puzzled.
"Because..."
Conan Turned his Head and Discovered that Chi Feichei and Haibara Ai had Already gone Outside to wait. He could only take over the Work of explaining alone. "Brother Ike Discovered that the Male Slippers in this Ho show no Trace of use..."
After Listening to Conan's Explanation, Wataru Takagi instructed the other Police Officer conducting a House Search Inside the Room to put all the Slippers into Evidence Bags. Then, together with Kazunobu Chiba, he led A Group of People to Sachiko Nishimura's Good Friend's Ho to Ask about the Situation.
(End of Chapter)
"That's right, Sachiko did have a Boyfriend before."
At the Kawamura Family Ho nearby, the Hostess stood at the Entrance, nodding to confirm. She looked towards Kazunobu Chiba, "Actually, I ntioned it to that Police Officer before."
Kazunobu Chiba saw Mouri Ran turn her Head to look at her, and scratched his Head, "Ah, yes, so we wanted to ask you again to understand more about her Boyfriend, whether they broke up, or…"
"His na is Henmi, and he's a Mountain Climbing Enthusiast. Sachiko and him were Dating since school," the Woman recalled, "Five years ago, Henmi went Mountain Climbing as usual, but this ti the Place he went to had an Accident, and he has been Offline ever since. The Police Organization organized a Search Command and Rescue, but they didn't find his Corpse. However, based on the Situation at the Ti, it was Judged that Henmi had Likely died."
Wataru Takagi and Kazunobu Chiba exchanged a Look.
Mountain Climbing Enthusiast, died in an Accident, the Photo on the Table, and what the Neighbor heard Sachiko Nishimura say last Night, combined, Sachiko Nishimura really might have been missing her Boyfriend who died in an Accident five years ago last Night.
"That Ti when Henmi left, when Sachiko went to see Henmi off, I also went with her. Henmi also said, telling Sachiko to rest assured, that he would be back on the 25th. Sachiko also happily said that she would make delicious food to wait for him to co back. He also Smilingly Joke, saying he wanted the thick kind of Steak," the Woman sighed, "Who could have Unexpectedly thought that Henmi would never co back after this trip? Those two were really a Pity. I've always wanted to let Sachiko get out of it, but I didn't expect that this kind of thing would happen to her again."
"Then, may I ask, did anything happen on the 25th half a year ago?" Wataru Takagi asked seriously.
Now there is still a Problem: since Sachiko Nishimura's Boyfriend from before died in an Accident five years ago, then why did Nishimura's Colleague say that her current Boyfriend started Dating half a year ago, and the Dates every month also started half a year ago?
Conan also looked at this Hostess, pondering all kinds of Possibilities in his Brain.
Half a year ago, that Mr. Henmi ca back, and in order to deceive the Insurance, he Concealed that he was not dead to the outside world?
Wrong, if the Person really ca back, and Sachiko Nishimura was secretly eting with Henmi, then there should be Traces of Male Guest visiting at Nishimura's Ho…
"Half a year ago?" The Woman recalled for A Bit, and shook her Head, "I'm not sure either. In recent years, Sachiko has been desperately Work, and we only get together when both of us are free. And in the year before last, I also married my current Husband. Last year to the beginning of this Year was just the Ti when I was pregnant and waiting to give Birth. Half a year ago, My Child was just born, and up to this Ti, I have been taking care of my Child every Day. I only t Sachiko once not long after My Child was born, and we haven't seen each other since."
Wataru Takagi Nodded, "I See…"
"Then may I ask where Mr. Henmi's Ho is?" Conan looked up and asked, "Are there other People in his Ho?"
"His Parents are all at Ho, and their Ho is not very far from here…"
The Woman turned her Head to Look Towards a Direction, and told A Group of People the Location of Henmi Family Ho.
A Group of People found Henmi Family Ho again. Mr. Henmi's Father was not at Ho, only an Old Mother with white hair was at Ho.
Facing the Old Woman's Invitation, A Group of People did not enter the Door, and just stood at the Entrance to understand the Situation.
"The 25th half a year ago? That Day happened to be the Day My Old Man received his Salary," the Old Woman said, with a painful sense of sadness in her Eyes, "It was also the Day My Child ca back."
Wataru Takagi was surprised, "Ca- Ca back Day?"
"Yes, We have a Son, who went out Mountain Climbing five years ago and encountered a Mountain Accident. We couldn't even find his Corpse. But half a year ago, Police ca to our Ho, saying that soone found his Backpack on that Mountain, with the Things he took with him inside, and also a roll of Negative that he had taken," the Old Woman's Eyes reddened, "That Child, he Liked to take a lot of Landscape Photo when Mountain Climbing and bring them back for us to Look."
Wataru Takagi was Silent for A Bit. Although he didn't want to reopen old wounds, but now he still had to investigate the Case, and imdiately took out his Mobile Phone, flipped out the saved Photos of those Photos found on Sachiko Nishimura's Table, and handed it to the Old Woman, "Then may I ask, are these Photos?"
The Old Woman Stared at the Mobile Phone and Looked, and Nodded, "That's right, these are the Photos. My Son had a Girlfriend who he had been Dating since school, and I Think he must have wanted to show those Photos to that Girl called Sachiko, so that Day I made a Phone Call to let Sachiko Co Over and gave her the Photos."
Conan lowered his Head and pondered. In this way, the Photos on the Table, and Nishimura's Colleague saying that she started Dating a Boyfriend half a year ago, these two Points can all be explained.
"May I ask…" The Old Woman hesitated for A Bit, "Did sothing happen to Sachiko that the two Police Officer ca here?"
"This…" Kazunobu Chiba hesitated, "Sothing A Bit happened, but it's not convenient to reveal it for the Ti being, so…"
The Old Woman didn't ask any more questions, and Nodded.
Leaving the Henmi Family Ho area, Wataru Takagi and Kazunobu Chiba breathed a long Sigh of relief.
Following closely behind, Mouri Ran sighed.
Before coming here, she was still struggling.
If Chi Feichei was right, then it would an that Sachiko Nishimura had been busy Work these years and had no Interest in Dating a Boyfriend, Just Because she couldn't let go of her Boyfriend from before, and from half a year ago, one Day of Happiness every month was Just herself deceiving herself.
But if Chi Feichei was wrong, then it would an that the Murderer who Murdered Sachiko Nishimura was very Likely the Boyfriend she was so Happy and Expectation to et.
She really didn't Know which Answer being Correct was Better, and after knowing the Answer, her Emotion was even lower.
Conan looked at Mouri Ran, and spoke out to shift Mouri Ran's Attention, and also to remind the two Police Officers who looked lancholy, "Since Miss Sachiko didn't et with her Boyfriend at all last Night, then who would be the Person who Murdered her?"
Wataru Takagi, "..."
Right, then who would be the Person who Murdered Miss Nishimura?
Kazunobu Chiba, "..."
Looking at it this way, their Police still have to re-investigate Miss Nishimura's Interpersonal Relationship, and it's also not ruled out that it was Random Murder…
Chi Feichei, "..."
Is it that he pushed the Progress too Fast, so that the Suspect Clues that should have appeared haven't appeared yet?
But there's no thod, he doesn't rember this Case, and plus, he's been quite bored Recently, and wanted to find so Matters to activate his Brain, so he Just… like this.
Then can the Clues still appear?
"Could it be a regular Custor at her Ho?" Haibara Ai speculated, "There are three pairs of Won's Slippers that are frequently used at Ho. The Frequency of use of two of them is similar, and when Miss Nishimura's Corpse was discovered, she was at Ho, and should have been wearing a pair of Slippers on her Foot. In Other Words, even if one of them is her Change of Slippers, then there are still two Female Guest who are regular Custors at her Ho…"
"I've understood this," Kazunobu Chiba took out his Notebook, "The two Females who often go to her Ho are both her Colleague, and they are also the People who went to her Ho to check the Situation Because they discovered that she was absent without asking for leave. As the first discoverers of the Cri Scene, I understood their Alibi at the Ti of the Cri. Because the Cri Ti happened to be Dinner Ti, they were all eating Dinner with their Family, so they all have Alibi."
Wataru Takagi had a Headache, "Miss Nishimura's Interpersonal Relationship is very simple. She is usually very busy Work. Apart from Company Colleague, she rarely interacts with other People, and no one said that she had Enmity with anyone, or that anyone was dissatisfied with her…"
Mori Kogoro stroked his chin, "There are no Traces of ransacking in her Ho, so there should be no Money lost, right? Then it's not Murdered by a Burglar or encountered a Burglary Murder…"
Kazunobu Chiba also had a Headache, "There are also no Traces of violation, so it's Probably not a Pervert or sothing who followed her Ho…"
"Acquaintance Cri," Chi Feichei said.
Conan, who was Just about to speak out to remind them, didn't speak out again, and felt a little Sigh in his Heart.
Little Friend is also full of energy today, Probably like Ran, feeling that Miss Sachiko Nishimura's Matter is quite a Pity, and also holding back a breath, wanting to Help find the Culprit.
Chi Feichei saw other People Look at him, and explained, "Miss Nishimura fell at the Entrance, Just next to the Cabinet where the Phone is placed. It is not yet clear whether she wanted to Call before she died, but there are no Traces of Struggle or Resistance at the Scene, and there are no Traces of the Door Lock being pried open, so the Other Party should not be a Stranger. Miss Nishimura opened the Door for the Other Party, and did not Think that the Other Party would Murder or Rob her."
Conan Nodded.
Correct, judging from the Situation at the Scene, it is Acquaintance Cri, then it eliminates the Possibility of a Murderer Random Murder.
Mouri Ran also Understood, "In Other Words, we still have to investigate the People Sachiko knows…"
Wataru Takagi made a Phone Call to report the Situation, and called Kazunobu Chiba to go to the Company together to investigate Sachiko Nishimura's Interpersonal Relationship and investigate the Alibi of Sachiko Nishimura's Company Colleague.
In this way, the Police have a lot of Matters to be busy with, and they can't take care of taking Mori Kogoro to understand the Situation.
Mori Kogoro Decided to take A Group of Little Friend and Child Ho, and wait until Night to Call Wataru Takagi to ask about the Investigation Result.
Conan silently recalled the Investigation Situation of the entire Case, and discovered that there really are no other Clues at Present. He can only go back and wait for the Police's Investigation Result.
He rarely encounters this kind of Case. The existing Clues have all been interpreted, but there is not a single Clue about the Criminal, which makes him feel very Uncomfortable…
Chi Feichei also remained Silent all the way.
Investigating Interpersonal Relationship, investigating Alibi, if there is Surveillance Cara, Check Surveillance Cara, if there is no Surveillance Cara, then conduct interviews and Investigation… these are all Normal Police Case Procedure, and many Cases have to be investigated like this.
Inspector gure has other Cases in hand, and the biggest Manager of this Case is only Wataru Takagi and Kazunobu Chiba. If he Calls to ask at Night, I'm afraid that even the Alibi of Nishimura's Company Colleague has not been verified, and it will take at least until Tomorrow Afternoon.
In Other Words, even if Conan wants to Solve a Case this Ti, he will have to wait at least two or three Days to get a Suspect List, and then go to investigate the Situation one by one, and Help catch the Culprit…
Apart from Movie, there are very few Cases that can allow Famous Detective to investigate for two or three Days, but he has no Impression of this Case at all, indicating that not only is it not a Movie, but the Cri thod may not be new, and the Culprit may not be too eye-catching. In fact, the more ordinary Cases are, the more difficult it is to Solve a Case quickly. This Plot may have really been pushed to collapse by his Progress.
[Pen and ink falls, adding more for ngzhu Yisheng Yonghui], adding more!
[End of Chapter]
(End of Chapter)
Haibara Ai saw the adult and the child deep in thought, Mouri Ran silently lowered her head, and Mori Kogoro also looked clueless about the case. She didn't disturb them and waited for a while. Seeing Conan raise his hand and scratch his head in annoyance, she then spoke out, "Being anxious now won't help. The Police will speed up the investigation. Even if there are no results today, there will be so clues tomorrow. We can call to ask again after School Dismissal. As long as we follow up, we will eventually find the Culprit. Anyway, we don't have other things to do recently..."
Chi Feichei suddenly rembered sothing. He put away his idea of watching the excitent and silently observing Conan's case-solving rules, and his footsteps also stopped abruptly.
Conan imdiately looked up, casting a focused Gaze, the Intention in his eyes clearly conveyed: Got a Clue? Discovered sothing? Tell quickly!
Mouri Ran also stopped walking, turned her Head to Look at Chi Feichei, with Expectation hidden in her eyes: Is there a Situation? Did Brother Hichiji discover sothing? Hurry, catch that hateful Murderer!
Chi Feichei saw the others looking at him and explained, "Sothing ca up. I have an Appointnt with Police Officer Takagi tomorrow."
Conan: "..."
This sudden excitent and then letdown, he thought Chi Feichei had suddenly thought of sothing!
Haibara Ai: "..."
So Brother Hissashi did think of sothing, but it has nothing to do with the Case? No, it can't be said that it's completely unrelated...
Mouri Ran gave a dry laugh, "Police Officer Takagi has to investigate this Case now, he probably won't be able to spare Ti tomorrow."
Conan beca Curious instead, "Brother Ike, what are you and Police Officer Takagi going to do?"
It's impossible for two grown n to go on a Date, right?
"Going to see Ms. Shimabukuro," Chi Feichei said with a Neutral Face, "She killed more than one person and has been transferred to Tokyo Maximum Security Prison. I asked Police Officer Takagi to help inquire about it. He's going to see her with tomorrow and ask the Prison Guard about her Situation."
He could visit her alone, but it would be difficult to get more real and detailed information from the Prison Guard.
Of course, he could also use his Identity as an Advisor of Zero Group to secretly find out, but for this kind of thing, there's no need to use his authority for personal gain. Originally, letting Wataru Takagi go with him was the best Choice...
Is he ssing up the Plot and burning the Fire on himself?
Mouri Ran was stunned, rembering the Witch from rmaid Island who had an Intersection with them, "Miss Kimiie..."
Conan felt complicated. He hadn't paid attention to Shimabukuro Kimiie's Situation, he just Finished the Case and that was it. He was Unexpectedly surprised that Chi Feichei was still paying attention. After a mont of Silence, he looked up at Chi Feichei and Acting Cute in a Child's Voice, "It's okay, after this Case is Solved, let's go see Miss Kimiie together!"
"I'm not going with you," Chi Feichei didn't give Face, "If you want to go, make a Reservation for a visit yourself."
Conan: "..."
He was being kind, yet he was rejected and disliked without hesitation, so ruthless!
Mouri Ran saw Conan's depressed Face and comforted him with a smile, "Brother Hissashi probably wants to see Miss Kimiie alone, then I'll take Father and Conan to go another day."
"Miss Kimiie?" Haibara Ai asked in Doubt.
"She's a Friend we knew before. She killed her three Friends from childhood to avenge her Mother. Brother Hissashi ran to find her alone and asked her to Surrender. She made Brother Hissashi fall asleep, but she didn't Damage Brother Hissashi," Mouri Ran explained simply, looking at Chi Feichei, "Actually, she's a very lovely and nice person. Brother Hissashi, what's Miss Kimiie's sentence?"
"Life Imprisonnt," Chi Feichei Said.
Japan still has the Death Penalty. Killing three or more people is very likely to result in the Death Penalty, but the sentencing Standard for the Death Penalty also considers factors such as the Criminal Motive, nature, cruelty of the Murder, Emotions of the Victim's Family, social Impact, Criminal Age, Criminal Record, and Performance after the Cri.
Shimabukuro Kimiie killed three people, but the Motive was because those three people had locked her Mother in a Warehouse and burned her alive. She had no Criminal Record and the social Impact was not significant. In addition, they didn't ntion Shimabukuro Kimiie being exposed after the Cri and drugging him, so the Investigation Result recorded was Surrender. Afterwards, the Victim's Family also expressed understanding, and the Villager on the Island were also saying good things, so she couldn't be sentenced to Death.
Mori Kogoro walked to the Street Corner, turned his Head and found that a Group of People were still standing behind him chatting. He Said speechlessly, "Hey, aren't you going Ho yet?"
"Father, go Ho first!" Mouri Ran shouted back, then looked at Chi Feichei again, "Brother Hissashi, how about we go to Miss Sachiko's Company to find Police Officer Takagi? If you go, you might be able to discover so Clues? And we can also bring Conan, Conan can always discover so Clues that Adults can't discover..."
"No Need."
Chi Feichei raised his Eyes to Look at the Street they were on, which happened to be This Street where they bought Food Ingredients last Night.
Disrupt his Itinerary for tomorrow? That won't do, he doesn't agree.
There is also a thod to break the Situation - reverse reasoning.
Looking at the previous Situation, if he hadn't interfered, the Police and Conan wouldn't have Suspected 'Nishimura's Boyfriend doesn't exist' for a while.
Then, Sachiko Nishimura's 'Boyfriend' will still be regarded as a Suspect. After asking Colleagues, Friends, and Apartnt Residents, no one has seen that Man. What will the Police investigate next?
Ask more people, inquire about Sachiko Nishimura's Boyfriend from more people, and want to find soone who has seen Sachiko Nishimura's Boyfriend.
Including the Shopkeeper on This Street where Sachiko Nishimura often buys Food Ingredients!
Conan turned his Head in Doubt to Look around, "Brother Ike..."
"Yesterday, listening to the Statent of the Shop Owner of the Beef Shop, Miss Nishimura should often co to This Street to buy Things, and her Residence is not far from here," Chi Feichei looked at the Rice and Noodle Shop next to him and Said in a low voice, "Ask along the Street, tell them that the Police are Suspecting Miss Nishimura's Boyfriend, and ask them if they have seen that Man."
Conan was stunned for a mont. After Realizing, his whole Mood could only be described with one word - damn.
He Understood, Chi Feichei's thod is completely unconventional.
They know what's going on with Sachiko Nishimura's Boyfriend. In addition, the Culprit who broke into the Nishimura Residence last Night and is an Acquaintance of Sachiko Nishimura should also Realize that Sachiko Nishimura did not have a Date with her Boyfriend at all.
The Murderer will definitely not publicize 'she doesn't have a Boyfriend', but as long as they tell the Murderer 'the Police are Suspecting Miss Nishimura's Boyfriend', the Murderer may fabricate many Things about 'that Man' in order to cover up their Cri, Mislead the Police's Investigation Direction.
Bluffing like this may lead to nothing, but they are just waiting for the Investigation Result anyway, so it's better to try this thod that has a high Probability of finding the Murderer first.
Even if they don't find the Murderer in the end, they can also Test the Attitude of Sachiko Nishimura's Acquaintance through this Matter, and maybe they can discover so Clues.
"Ah?" Mouri Ran didn't Understand, "But Miss Sachiko's..."
Conan raised his Hand and pulled Mouri Ran's Hem. After Mouri Ran bent down and leaned closer, he whispered Chi Feichei's Idea.
"I see..." After Mouri Ran finished listening to the explanation, she also beca a little eager to try, and asked Chi Feichei curiously, "However, Brother Hissashi, are you Suspecting the Shop Owner and Shop Assistant on This Street?"
"Uncertain," Chi Feichei looked at Mouri Ran and Said, "So we have to let Police Officer Takagi also Ask."
"I Understood," Mouri Ran Nodded imdiately, "I'll Call Police Officer Takagi and tell him now."
After Mouri Ran made the Phone Call, a Group of People started asking from the Rice and Noodle Shop next door.
"Miss Sachiko Nishimura?"
There was only a Fat Genta's Mom guarding the Rice and Noodle Shop.
"Yes," Mouri Ran Nodded, raised her Mobile Phone, which showed a Photo from Sachiko Nishimura's job Archive that Wataru Takagi had sent, "It's this Miss."
Genta's Mom Nodded imdiately, "Ah... so it's this Miss Nishimura, I have seen her, she often cos to This Street to buy Things, and also cos to my Shop to buy Rice and Noodles, so I rember her."
Mouri Ran approached Genta's Mom with a Serious Face, deliberately lowered her Voice and Said, "Miss Nishimura had an accident. Now the Police Suspect it's related to her Boyfriend. I wonder if you have seen her Boyfriend?"
Genta's Mom hesitated, looking at the Group of People, "You are..."
Mouri Ran Dou Dou Eye, "We, we..."
"Are Assistants of Famous Detective Mori Kogoro Agency," Chi Feichei handed a Business Card of Mori Kogoro to Genta's Mom, "This is my Teacher's Business Card. My Teacher is also paying attention to this Case, and we are here to Help him investigate. Of course, it's also considered Helping the Police."
They brought Children, so it was inconvenient to impersonate Police, and they didn't have any License to show, so they brought out Mori Kogoro.
His Teacher is quite Famous now, and sotis it's very useful.
Genta's Mom took the Business Card in Surprise, looked down at it, "So it's the famous Famous Detective Mori Kogoro!"
"Yes," Chi Feichei looked Calm and serious, "If you encounter any Trouble, you can also Call for consultation, or go directly to Mori Detective Agency."
Mouri Ran: "..."
Brother Hissashi doesn't forget to solicit Commissions for the Detective Agency, she doesn't know whether to be Speechless or moved.
Conan: "..."
This Fellow Chi Feichei actually carries Business Cards of Mori Detective Agency with him, he... has nothing to Say.
Haibara Ai: "..."
If this continues, Uncle Mori will be able to live a Life of 'being busy with Commissions every day' sooner or later.
Genta's Mom put away the Business Card and looked at Chi Feichei with Expectation, "Then can small Matters like Suspecting that the Neighbor Next Door is saying bad Things about our Ho also Trouble Detective Mori?"
Chi Feichei Nodded, "No Problem, you can go to the Agency another day and sign a Commission Contract after consultation."
"Then, Auntie, have you seen Miss Sachiko's Boyfriend?" Conan couldn't help it and Asked about the Serious Business, "Or do you know what that Man's Na is? Where does he live?"
"I'm sorry, Little Brother," Genta's Mom bent down and Said Kind to Conan, "Miss Nishimura only occasionally cos to my Shop to buy Things. I haven't seen her Boyfriend, and I don't know her Boyfriend's Na either."
"I see," Conan looked up, Acting Cute in a Child's Voice, "Then we won't disturb Auntie!"
The next Shop, the Beef Shop where they bought at last Night.
This Ti it was much smoother. The Shop Owner knew that Mouri Ran knew Sachiko Nishimura, and told Mouri Ran without much hesitation.
"Miss Nishimura's Boyfriend? I Said yesterday too, I have never seen her Boyfriend, he should be a very busy person..."
Next Shop, the Fruit Shop opposite.
"Miss Nishimura?"
"Yes, it's this Miss," Mouri Ran routinely took out her Mobile Phone Photo to show the Shop Assistant, and then handed over the Business Card borrowed from Chi Feichei, "We are Assistants of Famous Detective Mori Kogoro. He is very concerned about this Case, so he asked us to Help investigate."
"I have seen this Miss," the young female Shop Assistant recalled, "But I have only been working here for less than two months, I haven't chatted with her, and I don't know about her Boyfriend's Situation."
Asked all the way down, to the Liquor Shop where they bought Liquor last Night.
"Miss Nishimura's Boyfriend?"
A tall young male Shop Assistant stood in front of the electric Car at the Entrance, sorting Goods.
"Yes, it's this Miss," Mouri Ran continued to let the other party Look at the Photo in her Mobile Phone, "Sothing happened to Miss Nishimura's Ho, and her Boyfriend is highly Suspected. We are Assistants of Famous Detective Mori Kogoro. Mr. Mouri is very concerned about this Case and is Assisting the Police in the Investigation, so he asked us to Ask everyone if they have seen her Boyfriend and know the other party's Na and Address."
"Ah... so it's Miss Nishimura, I know her," the Man Shop Assistant temporarily stopped sorting the Goods and stood in front of the electric Car, recalling, "Miss Nishimura's Boyfriend is very mysterious, but I should have seen him yesterday."
Conan looked up, Stare: "..."
There's a Situation!
Haibara Ai looked up, Stare: "..."
It was really bluffed out?
[Thank you for your support, this Chapter is an extra Chapter for Lord ngzhu Yisheng Yonghui], second bow!
[End of Chapter]
"Yesterday?" Mouri Ran, with a Serious Face, stared at the Male Shop Assistant. "Is that true?"
The Male Shop Assistant thought Mouri Ran beca serious Because she got a Clue. He Nodded. "That's right, Probably around 8 PM. I was walking on the Street after getting off work and Saw a Man rushing out of her Apartnt. He ran past very quickly, looking very rushed."
"But, Older Brother, how would you know that was Miss Sachiko's Boyfriend?" Conan Asked.
The Male Shop Assistant touched his chin, looking like he was recalling. "I rember it was Probably the 25th of last Month. There was a Fire in the Vicinity. My Apartnt Building was just opposite Miss Nishimura's Apartnt. I heard the Siren Sound of the Fire Truck passing by and was Curious, so I went to the Balcony to See the Situation. Miss Nishimura from the Apartnt opposite and her Boyfriend also went to the Balcony to See the Situation. That's when I Saw Miss Nishimura's Boyfriend. That Man had his arm around her Shoulder at the ti, so I think it must be her Boyfriend, I can't be wrong..."
Mouri Ran's Hand hanging by her side slowly clenched. Chi Feichei Step Forward one step and blocked her.
"In Other Words, yesterday evening around 8 PM, you Saw that Man you had Seen a Month ago rushing out of Miss Nishimura's Apartnt, right?" Chi Feichei Confird.
The Male Shop Assistant Nodded. "Correct. I Saw him Seemingly startled, scrambling and tumbling."
Mouri Ran Lowered her Head and gritted her Teeth.
Bastard, Culprit, Actually still Lying!
If it weren't for Seeing Brother Hichiji blocking in front of her, she would have Already taken action and started hitting him!
Chi Feichei took out a Notebook, pretending to Record. With a Calm Face, he continued Asking, "Then, may I Ask for your full Na?"
"You Say ?" the Male Shop Assistant Said without Guarding Against. "My surna is Suenaga."
"Full Na," Chi Feichei Said.
"Suenaga Kenji," the Male Shop Assistant Said.
Chi Feichei wrote down the Na in the Notebook, then raised his Head. Looking at Suenaga Kenji with a Calm Gaze, he Said, "We will notify the Police that soone here knows a Clue about Miss Nishimura's Boyfriend. Before the Police arrive, we Hope you can Help Draw a Portrait of that Man."
"That's possible," Suenaga Kenji Turned Around and entered the Shop. "Then I'll go tell the Boss."
Chi Feichei Turned his Head to Look Towards Mouri Ran. "Ran, Call Police Officer Takagi. Call from here. Just Say soone here can provide Appearance Information about Miss Nishimura's Boyfriend."
"Ah, Okay..."
Mouri Ran used her Mobile Phone to Call Wataru Takagi.
First Call the Police over, then we'll see!
Conan Suddenly rembered Fumita Kuniyoshi, who was once held back by Chi Feichei. That ti, Fumita Kuniyoshi was angered quite a bit by Chi Feichei. Then this ti...
Half an Hour later, Wataru Takagi arrived, driving a Car and bringing Kazunobu Chiba.
Chi Feichei and A Group of People were still at the Shop Entrance, Looking at Suenaga Kenji leaning on the front of the Electric Bike, sketching a Portrait on a White Paper.
"I don't Draw very well..."
"It's okay, it's Already fine," Chi Feichei's Attitude was still very Calm. He Turned his Head towards Wataru Takagi and the other person who got out of the Car and Said, "Police Officer Takagi, Officer Chiba, I'll leave it to you."
Wataru Takagi, with a Serious Expression, Nodded towards Chi Feichei. Then, he took out his Police Badge, showed it to Suenaga Kenji to See, and Said, "Hello, I am Wataru Takagi of the tropolitan Police Departnt Criminal Investigation Division One. I'd like to Understand so Situation from you."
Chi Feichei walked Aside, leaving the main stage to the Police.
"Okay, No Problem!" Suenaga Kenji Nodded very Cooperatively.
"May I Ask, You Say you Saw Miss Nishimura's Boyfriend last Night? Is that true?" Wataru Takagi Asked.
"Yes," Suenaga Kenji Looked Towards Chi Feichei, who was standing on the other side. "I Already Said it to that Mr. Just Now..."
"Police Officer Takagi," Chi Feichei took out a silver Voice Recorder from his Pocket and threw it to Wataru Takagi. "The Recording. Listen To it first."
Conan laughed dryly in his Heart. When Chi Feichei was Asking Suenaga Kenji for his full na, he was guessing Whether Chi Feichei was secretly Recording to keep as evidence. Unexpectedly, he really was.
Wataru Takagi Received the Voice Recorder, took out the mory Card from the Voice Recorder, put it into his Mobile Phone, and listened to the Recording with his Earphone. His Face beca more and more serious the more he listened. Then he took out an Evidence Bag, put the Voice Recorder and mory Card inside, and was too lazy to act anymore. He Said Seriously to Suenaga Kenji, "Mr. Suenaga, according to our Investigation Result, the Boyfriend Miss Nishimura Said publicly does not exist. Or rather, the Boyfriend she Said Actually Already Passed Away. May I Ask, how did you See her Boyfriend last Night and a Month ago, when he Originally shouldn't exist?"
Suenaga Kenji's Face changed. "How, how is that Possible..."
"I Present suspect you are related to the case of Miss Nishimura's murder," Wataru Takagi put away the Bag containing the Voice Recorder and mory Card, Staring at Suenaga Kenji. "We Hope you can Go To the tropolitan Police Departnt with us to undergo Investigation."
"I... ah, Actually, I'm also not sure that was her Boyfriend..." Suenaga Kenji Saw the other People Looking at him in Silence. He steadied his Mind, Decided not to admit it, and thought Then he would insist that the Group of People who ca to Ask him were talking nonsense and Misleading him. His Heart was no longer very Panicked. "Right, it was Just Because I Saw soone running out of Miss Nishimura's Apartnt Building Panicked last Night, I thought..."
"Older Brother, you didn't Say it like that Before," Conan Spoke Out to Interrupt. Looking up at Suenaga Kenji, he Said, "You Also Said you Saw Miss Nishimura's Boyfriend last Month. Even If you argue Present, it's Useless. Our Dialogue Just Now is Already Recorded. We didn't induce you to Say that, it was Just the Sa Interrogation as with other People."
Saying this, Conan Again Turned his Head to Look Towards Chi Feichei. "You have the Investigation and Interrogation records for those Shops from Before, right?"
Chi Feichei Nodded.
Originally, he was still thinking that Even If nobody here Says they Saw Miss Nishimura's Boyfriend, Then he would Record all the Dialogue, combine the Recordings with Wataru Takagi's side, and Then Listen To the Recordings to See if they could find the Culprit's Opening.
Unexpectedly, it would be so smooth. Suenaga Kenji Actually exposed himself so Directly...
Haibara Ai was standing Beside Chi Feichei, Looking at Suenaga Kenji with the Sa Calm Face. She added, "Moreover, you yourself reported your full na. Even If you want to argue that the person admitting in the Recording is not you, Then Also it's Useless."
"You, you..." Suenaga Kenji Looking at A Group of People angrily.
Understood. These People Said they would Help the Police with the Investigation, which was true. But when he Said he Saw Miss Nishimura's Boyfriend, These People Already knew he was the Culprit.
The Outco was, These People clearly even had the Recording ready, yet still pretended Don't Know. In front of him, they Contacted the Police, Looked at him foolishly waiting for the Police to Co Over and Grab him, and Also made him Draw the Portrait to hold him back...
This Is treating him like a Fool and playing tricks? Excessive! Too Excessive!
Wataru Takagi Saw Suenaga Kenji Lower his Head. He Step Forward one step. "Mr. Suenaga..."
Suenaga Kenji Suddenly Grabbed a bottle of Liquor from the Cargo Basket on the Back Seat of the Electric Bike. Waving it ferociously, he scared away Wataru Takagi. He Turned his Head and discovered Haibara Ai was Beside Chi Feichei. He Turned Around and ran towards the Direction where Conan was.
There was either Children or female High School Students. He could completely take one as a Hostage and make the Police let him go!
Moreover, these Two People also had a part in playing tricks on him and clearly knowing everything yet still Looking at him like a Joke.
Although he disliked Chi Feichei even more, who stabilized him with a Calm Face but secretly Recorded him, But dealing with one of these two was the Sa. Wait until he takes a Hostage and escapes, Then he'll kill them!
Conan Saw Suenaga Kenji rushing towards him with a fierce Face, carrying the Wine Bottle. He was stunned A Bit, Then imdiately stood in the Original Place with an indifferent Face, not moving.
This Fellow is asking for a beating...
"Ran, be careful not to Damage the Shop Glass," Chi Feichei stood Aside, Lowered his Head, took out a Cigarette, and lit it. "Otherwise, Police Officer Takagi and the others will have to pay Money."
"Understood!" Mouri Ran flashed forward and rushed to Conan's Front. Finding the right Angle, she delivered a fierce Presence Turning Kick.
Suenaga Kenji's chin was kicked. His whole body flew backward across the Street, smashing into the Wall of the closed Shop opposite, before limply sliding down the Wall.
Conan: "..."
(′—`;)
That was a tall and big Man who was 1.8 ters tall. Actually, he was kicked so far with one Foot. Ran Seemingly got stronger...
"Hoo..." Mouri Ran exhaled and withdrew her Stance.
Okay, my Heart feels relieved.
Wataru Takagi also sweated A Bit. He deeply felt that the Mori Detective Agency's overall Combat Power was amazing. He Step Forward to check on Suenaga Kenji's Situation, and together with Kazunobu Chiba, helped the person Get On The Car. He Turned his Head to Look Towards Chi Feichei. "Mr. Chi, Then the Written Statent..."
"Don't forget, Tomorrow we agreed I'd take a Vacation to Keep Company you to Go To See soone," Chi Feichei Said. "Entrust To the Written Statent to Officer Chiba and Conan."
Conan imdiately got Half-Moon Eyes. Hey, hey, is he Just Specially doing the Written Statent on behalf of Chi Feichei? He pushed it off so smoothly, he didn't even Say a phrase like 'Request Help'...
Wataru Takagi gladly agreed. He Nodded and Said, "Okay, Then Entrust To it to Officer Chiba and Conan. If the Investigation Tomorrow can end, I can take leave in the Afternoon to Keep Company you Go To."
"Let's Go Together!" Mouri Ran Suddenly Spoke Out. Looking Towards Suenaga Kenji, who was still unconscious in the Car Backseat, she Said with a Serious Face, "Conan and I will Go Together to do the Written Statent. I Also want to know Why he killed Miss Sachiko!"
Wataru Takagi Scratched his Head. "This Is No Problem..."
"I'll Go To drive the Car." Chi Feichei Turned Around and walked towards Sachiko Nishimura's Apartnt Building. He and Mori Kogoro had co in his Car, which was parked Downstairs Sachiko Nishimura's Apartnt Building.
When they arrived at the tropolitan Police Departnt, Suenaga Kenji had Already woken up. His chin was swollen with a large lump. Following Kazunobu Chiba when getting out of the Car, he Turned his Head and Saw Mouri Ran getting out of the Red Sports Car beside him. The Corner of his Mouth twitched slightly. Probably because his chin hurt and his back that hit the Wall also hurt, a trace of Fear Subconsciously arose in his Heart. He didn't Look much and moved his Line of Sight away, secretly glancing at Chi Feichei getting out of the Driver's Seat of the Car beside him.
If he had known earlier that Girl was so Intense, he Should have...
Wataru Takagi closed the Car Door properly, Step Forward, and blocked Suenaga Kenji's Line of Sight A Bit. He couldn't help but Say in a low voice, "Don't Look. You can't beat that one even more..."
Originally, he Should have prevented Suenaga Kenji from being harmful to Chi Feichei. But after thinking A Bit, there was No Need to Worry about Chi Feichei's Safety. He was still more Worried that Suenaga Kenji might do sothing rash, rush up, and be Hamred unconscious Again.
Suenaga Kenji: "..."
He Present Says he didn't have bad intentions, didn't think of Retaliation, and Also didn't think of escaping. Don't Know whether everyone believes it or not...
Bonus Chapter!
(End of Chapter)
After entering the tropolitan Police Departnt, Ran and Conan went with Officer Chiba to give their Written Statent. Takagi took so officers to interrogate Suenaga Kenji, while Chi Feichei and Haibara Ai waited Outside.
If Suenaga Kenji hadn't run away earlier, he might have been able to delay things a bit, but his attempt to assault a Police Officer and escape was inexcusable. It didn't take long for him to honestly confess.
"...But Police Officer, it was that Woman who was too much!"
Ran and Conan were leaving when they heard this sentence from Next Door, so they went to the Next Door Doorway to listen.
"I saw that she was always alone, and I had already fallen for her. A month ago, when she ca to the Shop to buy Things, I mustered up the Courage to ask her out. She rejected , saying she had a Boyfriend and that her Boyfriend would visit her at Night..."
"I had already given up, but that Night, a Fire broke out Vicinity. When the Fire Truck passed by, I went to the Balcony to Check the Situation, and I saw that she, who lived across the way, was also on the Balcony, and she was alone. She didn't have a Boyfriend at all!"
"Last Night, she went to the Shop again and bought a bottle of Good Wine, saying her Boyfriend would co. So yesterday, I wanted to see for myself, but there was no one else at her Ho!"
In the Interrogation Room, Suenaga Kenji's voice was very agitated, "She even said she would Call the Police. In a fit of anger, I picked up the Copper Ornant next to and smashed her with it. I didn't expect her to... It's all her fault! Why did she Lie to and put on airs..."
Ran frowned as she stood at the Entrance, and silently clenched her Fist again.
Officer Chiba broke out in a sweat, worried that Ran would barge in and beat the man up again, and quickly stepped forward, "Ran..."
"If he was just going to take a Look, there's no need to wear Gloves," Chi Feichei said in a low voice, "The Prosecutor won't ignore this Point."
The Sentencing Standard for Impulsive Murder and Preditated Murder is different.
The reason Suenaga Kenji gave for the Murder might be true, but it wouldn't be an impulsive Murder out of anger. He might have had the intention to Murder as early as when he was rejected, and chose to Take Action last Night just to conveniently shift the Cri to Sachiko Nishimura's non-existent Boyfriend, which has nothing to do with whether he misunderstood Sachiko Nishimura.
Even if Ran rushed in, explained Sachiko Nishimura's real Intention, and cleared up the misunderstanding, making Suenaga Kenji feel guilty and cry in pain, so what? Suenaga Kenji might not care at all whether it was a misunderstanding, he just wanted to leave a 'Impulsive Murder' Impression.
However, the Prosecutor isn't that easy to fool. At that Ti, the Prosecutor will definitely Seize the 'wearing Gloves' Point and not let go...
Ran looked at Chi Feichei blankly, not understanding so much Subtext.
Haibara Ai, who was leaning against the Wall Aside, sighed. Could her Brother Hissashi speak a little more clearly and not hide so much content in one Sentence? She helped explain, "In Other Words, judging from his Behavior, he is clearly committing Preditated Murder, but he wants to portray it as Impulsive Murder. He is simply Lie. For this kind of person who is still Lie, has no Repentance, and is only thinking about how to reduce his sentence, you don't need to be angry, and you don't need to explain so much to him, because he may not care about these Things at all now..."
Ran's Face turned ugly, "No, I feel even more angry!"
Conan quickly looked up and Acting Cute, "Didn't Brother Chi say that? The Prosecutor won't ignore this Point. Isn't the best Outco to prevent him from succeeding, rather than Ran going in to beat him up?"
Haibara Ai looked at Chi Feichei and said in a Leisurely Tone, "Moreover, after soone has seen through his Intentions, I'm not in the Mood to watch his Performance anymore."
Ran was silent for a mont, Also Correct. After Chi Feichei saw through him, even if she went to explain, to beat Suenaga Kenji up, or to make Suenaga Kenji cry and Repentance, she wouldn't feel any Comfort. The breath in her Heart was still stuck...
Chi Feichei started walking towards the Stairwell Entrance and called out, "Let's go."
When facing punishnt, many people Hope to strive for lenient treatnt. Ran couldn't stand this kind of sophistry and hypocrisy, but he had seen too much of it.
As Long As it doesn't disrupt his Itinerary Arrangent for Tomorrow.
The Matter is over, and what's left is Matters for the Police and the Prosecution. Professionals know better how to handle it. No Matter what the Outco is, he won't pay attention to it anymore.
"Officer Chiba, then we'll leave first." After Ran said goodbye to Kazunobu Chiba, she sighed and followed Chi Feichei.
Conan followed Speechless.
Sigh, this Fellow Chi Feichei, can't he leave them a little Fantasy Space sotis? He has to say it so bluntly.
He is okay, he has a strong ability to accept, but Ran's Mood will probably not be good for the next two Days.
...
The Next Day, Ti jumped back from October to the end of July.
Takagi took half a Day off in the Afternoon to accompany Chi Feichei to Visit Shimabukuro Kimiie.
"Mr. Chi?"
Shimabukuro Kimiie was a little surprised to see Chi Feichei's Visit, but being in Prison didn't make this Witch from rmaid Island depressed. On the contrary, probably Because she no longer had Hatred in her Heart, her Gaze was much brighter. After sitting down, she smiled, "Unexpectedly, you would co to see ."
"I've been idle Recently. See what you need, and I'll send you whatever can be sent in," Chi Feichei said.
"Can't you say that you took Ti out of your busy schedule to Specially co to see ?" Shimabukuro Kimiie joked, and didn't wait for Chi Feichei to answer, so as not to be Blow, and started Self-Absorbed talking about her Situation.
The Villager on the Island will co to see her whenever they have Matters in Tokyo. Everyone said to let her behave well and they would wait for her to go back...
Her Body is fine, and she gets along well with the others here. No one bullies her, everyone is quite good...
Chi Feichei had previously followed Takagi to understand this from Prison Administration, but he didn't Interrupt and listened to Shimabukuro Kimiie finish speaking. The Visit Ti was almost up.
Then Shimabukuro Kimiie Get Up to say goodbye and left with the Prison Guard.
Takagi watched the whole Strange Visit, feeling confused.
Mr. Chi ca over and really only Say one Sentence, and then... Nothing Else?
Didn't even Care About her for a few Sentences?
The other party was so Cooperative, and said her own Situation without even being asked.
No wonder Mr. Chi's Written Statent is so Headaches, it's all Because these people spoil him.
After leaving the Prison, Takagi got into the Car and suddenly sighed, thinking of the Troubleso Matter he encountered in the morning.
"What's Wrong?" Chi Feichei asked, fastening his Seatbelt.
From the Afternoon when they t, Takagi had looked Mood, and occasionally he would be absent-minded and distracted, which was very Weird.
"Ah, no, Nothing Else." Takagi quickly shook his Head.
He wouldn't tell Chi Feichei that he had actually taken leave for this Afternoon and Tomorrow, planning to go on a Date with Sato to Tropical Land, and had even bought a Ring to give as a Marriage Proposal.
As a result, he was caught by his Colleague in the morning and taken to the Dark Room for Interrogation. He couldn't hold on and told them about the Date, but fortunately, he was witty and left the Football Match Ticket in the Desk Drawer in Advance, so that those fierce Colleagues thought they were going to watch the Competition, but in fact, he was planning to go to Tropical Land.
No one can Destruction his Marriage Proposal Action Tomorrow!
Thinking of this, Takagi's Gaze beca much firr, and his Mood also improved. He secretly glanced at Chi Feichei.
Including Mr. Chi as well, he Don't Want To encounter Acquaintance on a Date and Destruction the Atmosphere of their Private Ti for Two. Moreover, Mr. Chi is very Ominous, and he Don't Want To encounter any Case when he finally has a Vacation to go on a Date.
Chi Feichei discovered that Takagi was smiling foolishly and happily for a while, and then looked solemn for a while. He didn't Ask further and drove away from the Original Place, heading to the next destination.
Takagi's Emotion changes really fast... Never Mind, Guess it's about Affection Matters again. He still needs to go Check on Numabuchi Kiichiro.
Compared to Shimabukuro Kimiie, this 'Criminal' Numabuchi Kiichiro has not yet been formally sentenced.
Because Numabuchi Kiichiro Murder more than one innocent person, the Degree of Danger is high, and he fled after committing the Cri, causing Panic among the Public. After Numabuchi Kiichiro was arrested, he also Lie and claid to identify another Burial Site of the Victim to escape once. Although it was to See Firefly, this Reason cannot reduce the negative Impact of 'escape', and can even be said to be quite willful.
Regarding Numabuchi Kiichiro's sentence, the Prosecutor's Opinion has always been the Death Penalty, but they are very cautious about Death Penalty sentences. It is difficult for Criminal to be sentenced to Death Penalty. For Fairness, the Court also provided Numabuchi Kiichiro with a free Lawyer Team as Legal Aid. The results of the First Trial and Second Trial were different. The Prosecutor directly raised the Indictnt to the Supre Court. Numabuchi Kiichiro has also been held in Tokyo Prison, living alone in a single room, waiting for the next Court Hearing.
When Chi Feichei and Takagi asked the Prison about the Situation, the other party also said that the final Result might be Death Penalty, and then Numabuchi Kiichiro's Lawyer would file an Appeal. After the Case is sent back for Retrial, they would Request a Psychiatric Evaluation...
If a non-Death Penalty Result is not obtained, the Lawyer will file many Appeals, and the two sides will constantly argue between Death Penalty and non-Death Penalty until all Appeal Opportunities are exhausted.
Even if it is Death Penalty, it must be executed after the Minister of Justice signs the Execution Order. Due to Political Factors and Personal Factors, the Minister of Justice generally refuses to sign the Execution Order during their tenure and sends it back for Retrial.
Repeating this over and over again, it is estimated that it will take about ten years for the Verdict Result to co down.
"I heard that he is related to so Matters that the Public Security Departnt is paying attention to. Soone from there has been here, and they don't seem to want him to be sentenced to Death Penalty so early. The Retrial Ti will continue to Extend," Takagi's Classmate during Police Academy took the two of them over and revealed a little Insider Information in a low voice on the Road, "So it's really hard to Say what the Result will be, and he may really have ntal State Problems."
"Is it about July Matters?" Takagi asked in a low voice.
Public Security probably Hopes that Numabuchi Kiichiro can provide so Clue that Outsider don't know. Then what he can think of is the Clue of 'July'.
Chi Feichei didn't Speak Out, nor did he feel Unexpectedly.
What Public Security wants to Ask Numabuchi Kiichiro about may be July Matters, or it may be Organization Matters.
July's Identity has been kept Confidentiality. Besides Amuro Toru, the only people who know are that Public Security Committee mber, and at most one or two high-level officials, such as a Big Shot. That level of Confidentiality is truly high.
However, precisely Because the Confidentiality level is too high, many Public Security Police don't know that soone inside Public Security knows who July is. People who know are also inconvenient to directly announce the cessation of the Investigation into July. That would instead show Abnormality. They can only use other Matters to slowly suppress the Investigation into July. So it is Possible that soone ca to Numabuchi Kiichiro to Ask about July's Clue.
If they are here to Ask about 'July' Matters, the level of the person who cos will not be too high, at least not soone from Zero Group.
On the contrary, if they are here to Ask about Organization Matters, the level of the person who cos will be even higher.
He is more inclined to Judgnt that both have been here.
It doesn't Matter whether Numabuchi Kiichiro said anything about Organization Matters, Because Numabuchi Kiichiro really doesn't know much. And Numabuchi Kiichiro didn't provide July's Clue, Otherwise he would have received Information from Public Security long ago.
