Chapter 462: Chapter 666-670
Chapter 666 Collective Holiday Time [Happy Birthday Hissashi]
"It's the President of this Company, Mr. Ohtsu, who was found dead in the Company Office," Inspector Megure looked up at the Floor above, then withdrew his gaze, his Half-Moon Eyes looking at Chi Feichei with disdain, "But this case doesn't need a Detective. The Murderer is a Burglar. There are traces and fingerprints left behind from his ransacking everywhere. Just three minutes ago, he was arrested..."
"Inspector Megure! The Weapon..." A Forensic Personnel ran out holding an Ashtray, his hand slipped, almost dropping the Ashtray, and he quickly grabbed it with both hands.
Inspector Megure rushed forward two steps anxiously. Seeing that the thing hadn't fallen, he stopped and breathed a sigh of relief, "I told you to be careful! This is the Weapon used by the Criminal!"
"Sorry, it's a bit slippery because it's stained with a lot of oil," the Forensic Personnel was also frightened, and quickly said, "But we have checked the traces on it, and they match the Wound on the Deceased's Head, but no fingerprints were found, and the Blood Stain was also wiped off."
"I see," Inspector Megure Nodded, "Then he must have hurriedly wiped it before leaving in a panic, but he didn't expect to leave fingerprints in other places."
Chi Feichei felt something was wrong. Just as he was about to speak, he saw Wataru Takagi running forward and whispering in Inspector Megure's ear.
"Inspector Megure, the Suspect Inoue Takashi has already confessed. He is a Repeat Offender of Burglary. This time, it was because he happened to be seen by the Victim during the Burglary, and he panicked and used the Ashtray to smash the Victim's Head. In addition, there is also an Eyewitness who saw him peeking around in the Vicinity at around 8 o'clock."
"Police Officer Takagi, what is the Time of Death?" Chi Feichei asked.
"Ah? Mr. Chi?" Wataru Takagi noticed Chi Feichei, and scratched his Head, "The Time of Death judged by the Forensic Doctor is between 8 o'clock and 9:30, and there are Witnesses who saw the situation at the time of the Murder, probably around 9 o'clock. They saw the Victim being hit on the Head through the Window on the Door. When they went in, the person had already escaped."
Chi Feichei Nodded, "Since the Criminal has been caught, then I won't delay your Investigation."
Inspector Megure saw Chi Feichei leave so decisively, and felt a little embarrassed about his previous disdain. He scratched his Head and laughed, "Then see you another day! Let's chat again when we have time."
"See you another day." After Chi Feichei drove away in his Car, he couldn't help but shake his Head.
He was indeed infected by Detectives. He would actually be meddlesome enough to ask a question, but since there are Eyewitnesses and the Culprit has been caught and confessed, then there should be no Problem.
Moreover, he didn't know why Gin asked him to come and investigate the Situation. He should mind his own business and leave after understanding the Situation.
Inspector Megure Watched the Red Sports Car leave, with a face full of regret.
"Inspector Megure?" Wataru Takagi spoke to Inspector Megure, and found that Inspector Megure was distracted, and raised his voice, "Inspector Megure!"
"Cough, it's nothing..." Inspector Megure Recovered, and coughed dryly in embarrassment.
He realized something was wrong after he finished speaking.
Why did he say 'see you another day' to Chi Feichei?
He was so busy that he rarely took a Holiday, and Chi Feichei liked to pop up at some Crime Scene. Saying 'see you another day', wasn't it either at some Crime Scene, or when Chi Feichei went to the Metropolitan Police Department to make a Written Statement?
Isn't this cursing his Jurisdiction to have a Case?
He should have said 'I hope we don't see each other again'... Uh, no, that's a bit hurtful, he should have said 'I hope to see you when I'm on Holiday'.
...
More than twenty minutes later.
On the Terrace of the 11th Floor of the Apartment, Chi Feichei was on the Phone with Gin, while pouring Bourbon Whiskey into a Cup filled with Ice Ball.
The Crows hadn't found where Amuro Toru had run off to yet. He wasn't at his Residence, nor around the eight people to be investigated, but he was definitely not dead.
If the Organization had confirmed that Amuro Toru was an Undercover Agent and wanted to Clean Up, he would also hear Rumors, and could probably participate in the Action.
"...That Fellow is dead?" Gin sneered, "Hmph! I originally planned to get some Money from him. The Transaction Time is tomorrow Night. I heard that the Police came, and thought he wanted Money more than his life, and notified the Police... I didn't expect him to be killed by a Burglar. Then forget it."
Chi Feichei put down the Wine Bottle, "Did you leave any Trace?"
"No, that Fellow shouldn't tell others that he was being Extortioned. After all, he would be finished if that Scandal was exposed," Gin had seen too many speechless Situations, and was not surprised by this kind of thing of 'the Extortion target suddenly being killed', "Even if someone knows that he was being Extortioned, they won't investigate us... By the way, did you see his Corpse?"
Chi Feichei understood Gin's meaning. He was worried that the other party would Report to Police and act with the Police, "When I went, the Corpse had already been taken away by the Police. I didn't see the Corpse, but the onlookers, the Police, and the Shopkeeper of the Street Corner Convenience Store all said this. It seems that more than one person saw the Corpse being taken away. There should be no Problem, and there's no need for it either."
The other party only received Extortion. Even if he didn't want to be Extortioned and Report to Police, there was no need to fake Death. Openly dying and hiding, he would not only lose Money, but even the Company would become someone else's.
And the Police would not only provide Protection, but also want to fish out the person who was Extortioning, and would not act out this kind of Play with President Ohtsu.
"Also Correct," Gin was just suspicious, and soon felt it was impossible, "There's no Action recently. We'll talk about it after this period of Time. Tell Wayne Walkerly yourself."
"Okay."
After hanging up the Phone, Chi Feichei called Yingqu Yan Nan again.
"Takatori, there's no Action recently. If you want to have fun, go have fun for a few days. Don't forget to pay attention to the News about the Smuggling Route. We'll talk about it after a while."
"Ah?" Yingqu Yan Nan heard Chi Feichei say such a long string of words as soon as he answered the Phone, and sorted out his Clues, "Why? Did something happen to the Organization?"
Could it be that the Rumors are tight? Or has the Organization been investigated?
"Heat."
Chi Feichei broke Yingqu Yan Nan's brainwashing of 'the Organization's Predicament is precarious' with one word.
When Yingqu Yan Nan Recovered, he found that the call had already been hung up, and he was immediately Speechless.
He knew what 'Heat' meant—the Weather is hot.
It had been really hot recently, but he was used to wearing Black Clothes with those people in the Organization. He was used to wearing them all the time. When he thought about wearing Clothes of other Colors, he actually felt very strange, and it looked awkward after putting them on.
Just thinking about wearing Black Clothes and standing under the big Sun, he felt despair. Fortunately, there seemed to be no Action recently. Occasionally when he needed to Go Out, he would choose the Time from after dusk to Early Morning of the next day.
It was a good thing to be able to Rest for a period of Time and avoid the hottest Time, but he thought about it carefully. Since returning from Boston, he and the Boss seemed to have no decent Action. It was not easy to have something to ponder, but they were Resting again.
He sometimes really wanted to Ask That Boss, what does it feel like to have such a group of willful people under his command?
...
11th Floor of the Apartment.
Chi Feichei sat on the Balcony, blowing the Night Breeze and looking at the Email on his Mobile Phone, sending Emails or UL Messages to others, and occasionally taking a sip of Liquor.
Feeling the increasingly hot Weather recently, he knew that the year N-th 'Gin refuses all Actions, whoever loves wearing Black Clothes and basking in the Sun can go, anyway, he doesn't organize Actions' Holiday Time had arrived again...
Actually, Gin was still considered a workaholic.
Just watch, it won't be long before Gin can't stand being idle and wants to cause Matter again.
Looking at Belmode again, if it wasn't for Conan and Haibara Ai shaking in front of him from time to time, and he occasionally seeing Shinde Tomoaki disguised by Belmode, he would have almost forgotten what Belmode was doing.
Compared to her, Saki Midorikawa was also a workaholic among the Intelligence Gathering Personnel.
Hissashi saw Chi Feichei busy looking at his Mobile Phone, and took advantage of Chi Feichei's inattention to stick his Head into the Wine Glass again.
Since it's a Holiday, it should be okay for it to drink some Liquor... right?
...
The Next Day morning.
The Red Sports Car stopped in the Parking Lot of a Tennis Club. After Haibara Ai got out of the Car, she Looked at the fiery Sun in the sky, and Turned Around to Ask Chi Feichei who got out of the Car, "By the way, Brother Hichiji, where's Hissashi? Didn't it Go Out with you today?"
Chi Feichei moved to the Trunk to get the Backpack containing the Tennis Wear, "Last Night it took advantage of my inattention and stole my Liquor again. I Guess it will be hungover for two days."
Conan, who jumped out of the Back Seat, almost didn't stand still, "Hissashi can drink Liquor?"
Chatting with Ayumi, Genta, and Mitsuhiko who got out of the Car.
"Can snakes also drink Liquor?"
"I Don't Know..."
"I think they shouldn't be able to."
Haibara Ai recalled that Hissashi was like a dead Snake the day after drinking Liquor last time, frowned, and asked Chi Feichei again, "How many Degrees was the Liquor it drank last Night? Judging from its Body Shape, even if a small sip of human Amount is drunk by it, the Alcohol Content in its Blood will be very high..."
"Whiskey," Chi Feichei handed the Backpacks of a Group of Elementary School Student one by one, "But No Need to worry, there was no Abnormality in its Body after it Recovered last time."
Snakes can adjust their Metabolism Speed. After eating, they can increase their Metabolism Speed to several times the original Speed, and weaken it after the Food is digested.
He suspected that Hissashi's Hangover every time was because Hissashi was worried that the Alcohol Content in its Blood was too high and would make it drunk to Death, so it reduced its Metabolism Speed, reduced Activity, and entered a Dormant State similar to Hibernation to let the Alcohol slowly digest.
Hissashi would be like a dead Snake for a day or two when it was drunk, but there was no Problem with its Body after it Recovered.
Haibara Ai was relieved a lot when she heard Chi Feichei say this. She took her Backpack, flipped out a Bag from it, and handed it to Chi Feichei, "Your Tennis Wear. Yoshida and I went to the Shopping Mall early in the morning to buy it for you."
Chi Feichei had also prepared Tennis Wear, but seeing that Haibara Ai had prepared Tennis Wear for him, he Guessed the Reason, so he accepted it.
The Junior Detective League's Tennis Wear was bought uniformly, and would be used as Team Uniform during competitions. The main Color Tone was white, and there were two blue Stripe on the Short-Sleeved T-shirt and Shorts, Skirt respectively.
When he arrived at the Changing Room and Looked, it was Indeed the same style as the others in the Junior Detective League.
After Haibara Ai and Ayumi went to the Changing Room to change into Tennis Wear, they hid Behind the Door and Stared at the Door of the Men's Changing Room opposite.
Ayumi leaned against the Door and asked in a low voice, "Haibara, do you Say Brother Chi will change into that Tennis Wear today?"
"He seems to have prepared Tennis Wear himself, but he should wear the ones we prepared for him." Haibara Ai stood in the Rear, feeling that Ayumi's Action was too childish, but her Eyes were very honest and glanced outwards.
This morning, the Junior Detective League talked about today's Training, and unanimously agreed to prepare the same Clothes for Chi Feichei, so that it would look more like a Team. She went out with Ayumi to buy it.
Whether it was a Team or not was not Important, she just felt that Chi Feichei should wear Clothes of other Colors.
Her Hissashi Brother's own Temperament was calm and composed, and wearing Black Clothes again would make people feel solemn and cold at first glance. If he wore white Clothes, probably...
"Click."
The Door of the Men's Changing Room opposite opened, and Chi Feichei came out with Conan, Mitsuhiko, and Genta. There was still no Expression on his Face, and his Tone was as calm as ever, "...Go to the Tennis Court first, I have booked a Coach for you."
Cold air invaded the Changing Room opposite.
Haibara Ai: "..."
Even if he changed into white Clothes, it didn't feel much better. It turned out that Aura can really crush the Impact of external Clothes...

Chapter 667: Look at the Lineup Before Speaking [Happy Birthday Chi Hissashi]
Five minutes later, A Group of People met the Coach Hissashi mentioned.
On the outdoor Red Clay Tennis Court, two Men were practicing.
One is Mabuchi Kyohei, a currently famous new tennis Contestant, with flowing medium-length hair dyed Golden, plus a handsome face. If it were in an open Tennis Court, the Female onlookers Beside the court would probably be three circles deep, and another three circles deep.
The other Man looked like an ordinary middle-aged Uncle, with a buzz cut and wearing a blue Tennis Wear, looking very energetic. When practicing with Mabuchi Kyohei, not only did he not fall behind, but he also faintly gained an Advantage.
Chi Feichei brought A Group of Children to watch behind the protective net.
"Is that Coach Toda?" Mitsuhiko's Eyes lit up. "Actually able to fight with a professional Contestant to this extent, so amazing!"
Conan Nodded in agreement, "It looks like he still has energy to spare, just helping his Opponent become proficient in a new Serving Style."
Haibara Ai Turn Head and asked Chi Feichei, "Where did you find this Coach?"
"My Coach from when I used to learn Tennis," Chi Feichei Looked at the Man on the court, "I practiced with him for a Winter Vacation and two Summer Vacation."
Although like Suzuki Sonoko, His Mom and His Dad also adopted a Down-to-Earth free-range Education for the Original Consciousness, they went too far with it. They couldn't even see each other during Holidays. Those two were probably worried that the Child would be Bored and cause Disaster, so they arranged a lot of Interest learning.
After All, not every Child is like the Junior Detective League, living a colorful Life at a young age.
The Original Consciousness also studied seriously. Musical instruments, Horse riding, Tennis, shooting, swimming, skiing… It was to pass the Time, and also Because when he went to Britain to find His Mom when he was Child, he was ridiculed by people with ulterior motives, so the Original Consciousness learned with a vengeance.
The two people in the court also noticed Chi Feichei's Group, the first to See them was Mabuchi Kyohei, but his Reaction was very Weird. He directly froze in Original Place, not even noticing the Tennis Ball flying Beside him.
Toda Coach Turn Head Looked, Say a few Words to Mabuchi Kyohei, then walked towards the Entrance with a Tennis Racket, Smilingly Say, "Hissashi, sorry to keep you waiting."
"We arrived early," Chi Feichei Look Towards the five Children, "I wanted to bring them to Feel the Atmosphere first."
"These are the Group of Children who are going to have Special Training, right?" Toda Coach greeted A Group of Children. "My surname is Toda, and I will help you train safely next, and explain some taboos that can lead to Injury."
"Hello, please give us your guidance!" The five Children bowed.
"Please give me your guidance," Toda Coach smiled, then Turn Head and explained to Chi Feichei, "I am now Kyohei's full-time Coach, and I no longer work here, but since you asked, I have to Come Over and See. I can only spare a week, what do you Think?"
"No Problem," Chi Feichei Look Towards Mabuchi Kyohei who was walking over, "But is it okay for his side?"
"Uh… my side is also Okay." Mabuchi Kyohei proactively Say.
Toda Coach asked questions and understood the Situation while leading A Group of People to the short net Tennis Court Suitable for Children. When they arrived at the Tennis Court, he led the five Children to Check the Rackets.
Although both Badminton and Tennis are Swing Motion sports, the Difference is huge.
Looking at the Difference between Badminton and Tennis will make it easier to Understand.
A Badminton is about 4.75-5.5 grams, light in weight, irregular in shape, and has high resistance in the air. The Strength used when Serving is less than that of Tennis, and the Impact of the Ball flying over is not great. It emphasizes Agility and Skill.
Tennis Balls are about 56.7-58.5 grams, elastic and Circle. The resistance in the air is not great, and the Strength used when Serving is much greater. The Impact of the Ball flying over is also greater than that of Badminton, which leads to a crucial Point—
Don't move your Wrist randomly when playing Tennis!
You can move your Wrist when playing Badminton, but if you move your Wrist randomly when playing Tennis, the Strength is enough to injure your Wrist instantly.
This also leads to Badminton being easier to master. After learning for a while, you can try to hit back and forth and play a Draw, while Tennis is much more difficult to get started with. If there is a slight Mistake in the Swing Motion, the Ball will fly who knows where.
You know, it hurts a lot when a Ball hits a person, and it also hurts a lot when a Racket hits a person…
Because you have to hit hard, if the non-slip strip on the Racket is not properly attached, or if your Hand suddenly loses Strength and you don't Grab the Racket tightly, the Racket will fly out. It's okay if it hits the Ground, but it would be bad if it hits Flowers and Plants or Kid.
In addition, the Serving Style and receiving Rule of the two are also Different, and Because Tennis is an elastic Ball-shaped object, 'Spin' can also be added as a variable factor.
This is also somewhat like table tennis. According to the Landing Point of the Ball on the Racket, the Angle of flight, the Skill of Strength exertion during the Swing Motion and other factors, the Ball is made to Spin in flight to achieve the Effect you want.
For Children, Skill practice is a bit too early, and there are only ten Days left before the Competition, so it's too late.
Toda Coach mainly explained to the Children some Safety Hazards and things that need attention, arranged the Regulations for pre-match Training, and taught a few Secret Tips that are easy to master.
"…If receiving the Ball will injure yourself, don't force yourself. If the Racket is smashing over, don't care about anything, Dodge quickly. Your Future is still far away," Toda Coach Smilingly Say, "Understand?"
Seeing Toda Coach Kind and easy to talk to, the five Children felt relieved, "Yes!"
"I used to force myself to win a Competition, and as a Result, I was hit in the Eye by a Ball. It took a long Time to recover my eyesight. Even now, as long as I Stare at Tennis for a long Time, my Eyes still can't take it, so I can no longer participate in Competitions," Toda Coach Say, "You must also learn a Lesson."
"What a Pity…" Ayumi sighed in a low voice.
Even Conan felt it was a Pity. Based on Toda Coach's Level just now, he could get good Score in professional Tennis Grand Competition. He was still wondering Why Toda Coach didn't participate in Competitions. It turned out to be a Body Problem…
Chi Feichei Beside him Say, "Teaching a professional Contestant, your Wish can be considered half-fulfilled."
"Yes," Toda Coach laughed again, Look Towards Mabuchi Kyohei who had Follow to There, "As long as Kyohei can win a Grand Slam in the Future, I will have no Regret, but he is still accumulating Competition Experience now."
Chi Feichei Heart approved. Toda Coach pays more attention to Safety and Future. This is the Reason he found Toda Coach for A Group of Children.
Toda Coach Get Up, clapped his Palm, "Okay, Children, let's have a Combat between two People for one round next. You decide for Onself who will play one more match. I want to Look at your current Ability."
The Junior Detective League used rock-paper-scissors to decide who would play. First, Ayumi and Haibara Ai, two Girls, Combat, then Conan against Mitsuhiko, and then Conan against Genta… Conan lost in rock-paper-scissors and had to play one more match.
But Conan didn't take it to Heart. With the Level of Children, they wouldn't be tired even after playing a few matches. He didn't seriously play rock-paper-scissors.
When Haibara Ai and Ayumi were practicing, A Group of People went to the side of the court to Look.
Toda Coach Observed the Actions of the two people on the court, "It seems that both of them have only had simple contact with Tennis before. There are still some Problems with their Swing Motion…"
"Why don't you Say it more directly? The Problems are big. There are bad habits in their Swing Motion," Chi Feichei evaluated with a calm Expression, "If they undergo high-intensity Training or the Combat in the Competition is more intense, with Ayumi's habit of Turning Around, her Shoulder will be unable to bear it sooner or later, while Ai will have Ankle Injury."
He asked Toda Coach to Come Over, not to coax Children. Let alone whether they win the Competition or not, those habits that can cause Injury must be corrected for him.
To prevent Problems from occurring in the Kumamoto Competition, and also to prevent these Children from getting injured when playing Tennis in the Future.
"Uh… Say So is also Correct." Toda Coach smiled awkwardly with a stiff Expression. When Chi Feichei was not paying attention, the smile subsided, and the Gaze Look Towards Chi Feichei became a little complicated.
Conan was originally Teasing in his Heart that Chi Feichei was too strict. Suddenly, Toda Coach's Transformation made him Doubt. He Discovery that Mabuchi Kyohei standing Beside him was also Looking at Chi Feichei Weirdly, and quickly Turn Head to Look at the court.
Weird…
Why did these two people show this kind of Expression?
Before he had Time to Think more, the Duel between Haibara Ai and Ayumi had already ended. Conan could only suppress the Doubt in his Heart and go on stage to complete the Combat first.
When all the Duels were over, it was also Lunch Time.
Toda Coach took A Group of People to the Club Restaurant.
The Food in the Club Restaurant is Specially made to provide Sufficient Energy for Exercise without making people fat. It also pays attention to acid-alkali Balance, but the Flavor is not very good.
"There's actually no Eel Rice here." Genta Looked at the Plate, Feeling it was unpalatable, and Looked Up at Toda Coach, "If Training is going to last for a week, can I bring my own Bento?"
"It's better to eat here, right?" Toda Coach smiled, but directly stopped Genta's Little Intentions, "Good Children are not picky eaters. In addition, there is no Benefit in eating too many Snacks. During the week of Training here until the end of the Competition, I Hope you don't eat too many unhealthy Snacks either."
Even if they are not aiming to be professional Contestant, let these Children eat less Snacks by the way. If they can develop a habit, it is also a good thing~
"Yo, Toda, didn't you Fellow resign? Aren't you running around with your unpromising Disciple, Why did you run here?" A Man in his forties, tall and strong, walked over, his Tone sarcastic, looking like 'I'm here to pick a fight'.
Chi Feichei Looked Up and recognized the person who came.
Makino Yasuhiko, the Tennis Coach of this Club, was still wearing a work Card on his Body. The Original Consciousness had Seen him twice when he came here at the age of ten. There was Memory of this person, but the Impression was not deep. Toda Coach's Interpersonal Relationship was not bad. At that Time, he did not Discovery any Conflict between Toda Coach and Makino Yasuhiko.
However, regardless of whether there is Conflict or not, can everyone please stop making trouble and Look at what kind of Lineup is here today before speaking. With Death God Elementary School Student here, and annoying people appearing again, something might happen…
Toda Coach frowned, "Makino, I don't need to report to you when I Come here, right? Moreover, only I, the Coach, know best whether Kyohei is promising or not!"
"Yes, you, the Coach, know it especially clearly…" Makino Yasuhiko coldly snorted, and after Seeing Chi Feichei, he was stunned for a moment, and his Tone became more Normal, "Hissashi, you are here too."
Chi Feichei Nodded, "Coach Makino."
"I didn't expect you to still remember me…" Makino Yasuhiko didn't continue, waved his Hand, and Turn Around to leave, "Never Mind, I still have to take Meals over to the team members who are doing Extra Training. I'll find you again when I have Time."
(End of Chapter)
Chapter 668 Three People Full of Problems [Happy Birthday Chi Feichei]
"Don't take his words to heart, only I know your progress best," Coach Dong Tianyue comforted Mabuchi Kyohei, then livened up the atmosphere, and said to several children, "Okay, let's talk about everyone's problems first. First is Conan, who performed very well and basically has no problems. In the afternoon, you can practice Swing Motion Training with everyone, or you can try to Serve by yourself."
"Yes!" Conan responded with a smile, acting cute.
His Swing Motion is definitely fine, after all, his father taught him in Hawaii~
"What is it," Genta muttered, "Conan is in the limelight again."
Chi Feichei lowered his head and ate silently.
It's probably because the famous detective's father taught him at the omnipotent Hawaii school again.
Coach Dong Tianyue noticed Genta's little emotions and said with a smile, "As for Genta, your strength is actually greater than theirs, which is very suitable for playing Tennis. Correcting the small mistakes in your movements will make you a Tennis expert~"
"Really…" Genta became happy and felt that his little emotions just now were a bit excessive.
Coach Dong Tianyue nodded and continued, "Then there's Ayumi and the others…"
In the afternoon, Coach Dong Tianyue was correcting Genta, Ayumi, Mitsuhiko, and Haibara Ai's Swing Motion, and at the same time conducting Swing Motion Training, allowing the children to repeatedly practice the correct movements.
Conan couldn't run away and was dragged to practice together with the reason that 'the Junior Detective League should be neat and tidy'.
Chi Feichei watched for a while, and remembering that there used to be a special Serving Training Room in the Club, with a Machine that delivered balls, as long as he took the ball and faced the Wall to continuously Serve, it would be very suitable for practicing his hand strength control. He took his Tennis Racket and stood up, "Coach Toda, is the Serving Training Room still in the original location?"
Coach Toda was standing in front of the five children watching Swing Motion. Hearing this, he turned his head and smiled, "Are you going to Training? It's still the original location. The Serving Training Room on the left side of the Indoor Training Court on the First Floor should still be available. The equipment inside was updated two years ago, and the door is the same. You can tell if it's in use by looking at the sign at the door."
Chi Feichei nodded and left with his Tennis Racket.
When Genta, Ayumi, and Mitsuhiko saw Chi Feichei leave, they felt a little desperate when they thought that they would have to continue with the boring Swing Motion Training.
"Okay, everyone," Coach Toda clapped his hands, drawing everyone's attention to him, "Hold on for a while longer, and then you can Sparring. But when Sparring, remember to use movements that won't cause injuries!"
As soon as they heard they could Sparring, the three children cheered up again.
Haibara Ai had been serious all along, repeatedly repeating the correct Swing Motion.
She felt that learning Tennis was also good. It seemed that Brother Hassashi could play Tennis and had received professional Coach Training, so he should play well. In the future, when the family goes out to play, they can play Tennis.
Since she was going to play against Chi Feichei, she couldn't be too bad.
Conan was already unwilling, and Coach Toda also said that he didn't need to do correction Training anymore. After practicing for a while, he went to the Restroom, planning not to go back later, and to go to the Serving Training Room to find Chi Feichei.
He didn't know what level that Fellow Chi Feichei played Tennis at. They had never heard Chi Feichei mention that he could play Tennis before…
"…Yes, I saw him at the Tennis Club…"
Footsteps and a young man's voice came from the Restroom entrance.
"Purple eyes are special, and the name matches too, there's no mistaking it…"
Huh?
Conan immediately thought of Chi Feichei and pricked up his ears to listen.
The other party was seemingly calling someone and didn't speak for a while. Outside the Compartment, there was only the sound of water flowing from the Water Tap. After a while, he spoke out intermittently.
"I haven't heard Coach Toda mention him before… Okay, I'll find out about his situation. Don't worry, I won't let him be discovered…"
"Then just say it directly…"
The Water was turned off, and Footsteps went outside again.
"Don't think too much about it. Although this is a bit much to say, everyone should pay for the mistakes they made when they were young…"
In the Compartment, Conan frowned deeply, quietly opened the Compartment door, and walked outside.
It was Mabuchi Kyohei's voice!
He felt that Mabuchi Kyohei's gaze at Chi Feichei was strange before. It turned out that the two people hadn't met, but Mabuchi Kyohei recognized Chi Feichei.
The Corridor outside the Restroom was empty, and Mabuchi Kyohei was already gone.
Conan checked around the Corridor in a circle and discovered that more than one Training Room door sign was lit with a 'Do Not Disturb' Indicator Light. He couldn't tell which Training Room Mabuchi Kyohei or Chi Feichei was in. In addition, his phone was in the Locker in the locker room, so he couldn't call Chi Feichei. He could only walk back while distracted.
What did that Fellow Mabuchi Kyohei want to do?
Also, what was the 'mistake from young time'?
Before he figured out what Conflict the two people had, he couldn't judge what Mabuchi Kyohei wanted to do, but it seemed that Mabuchi Kyohei still wanted to contact Chi Feichei and find out the situation, so temporarily there would be no matter. He would find time to ask Chi Feichei.
When the famous detective was walking back to the outdoor Training Ground absentmindedly, he saw Coach Toda and Makino Yasuhiko talking in front of the Flower Bed outside the Training Ground. They seemingly were arguing, so he curiously crept over.
"…I said, he's offline, and I don't know which Serving Training Room he went to," Coach Toda looked at Makino Yasuhiko with a cold face, "If you have anything to say, I can help you convey it."
"Never mind, I wouldn't dare to ask you to help convey it. I'll go and say it to Hassashi myself…" Makino Yasuhiko said, and was about to turn around and leave, "I'll come over again later."
Coach Toda frowned, "Makino, I've told you before, don't pay attention to him!"
"Toda, I think it's weird… Why do you hate that child so much?" Makino Yasuhiko suddenly stopped footsteps, turned his head to look at Coach Toda, and after saying this, without waiting for Coach Toda to answer, he smiled and laughed sarcastically, and left directly, "Ten years ago, that matter happened, I didn't expect he would still be willing to come here. I have a lot to say to him!"
Coach Toda watched Makino Yasuhiko leave, then turned around and went to the Restroom.
At the Flower Bed entrance of the Indoor Training Court, Conan stood in the Shadow, avoiding Coach Toda's line of sight. He suddenly paused and walked to the back of the Flower Bed.
He just now saw the Flower Bed plants moving unnaturally, could it be…
Sure enough, Genta, Mitsuhiko, and Ayumi were hiding sneakily at the back of the Flower Bed, and even Haibara Ai was standing aside.
Genta originally wanted to follow Coach Toda on tiptoe, but was startled by Conan suddenly coming over, "Ah…"
Mitsuhiko quickly reached out a hand and tightly covered Genta's mouth.
Ayumi was also startled. After seeing clearly that it was Conan, she patted her chest and breathed a sigh of relief, "Conan, it's you…"
A minute later, Conan and the others set off and returned to the outdoor Tennis Court.
"Just now Makino Coach came over to find Brother Ike. Coach Toda said swing motion training would end here first, and afterwards he left with Makino Coach," Ayumi explained, "Because we thought that there would be sparring next, and you went to the Restroom and haven't come back, so we intended to find you…"
"Of course, also because Coach Toda and Makino Coach's relationship seemingly isn't very good," Mitsuhiko scratched his head and added, "We worry that they might fight, so we intended to go up and check…"
"Unexpectedly, we listened to an important point of content." Haibara Ai took over and summarized.
Conan stroked his chin in thought. It was indeed not simple, and the amount of information was large…
"Coach Toda said Makino Coach is interested in Brother Ike, while Makino Coach actually said Coach Toda hates Brother Ike," Ayumi couldn't think clearly, "But, Brother Ike just looks a bit indifferent, but he is a very good person. Coach Toda is also a very good person, how could he hate Brother Ike?"
"Could he be lying?" Genta speculated.
"Genta, please!" Mitsuhiko speechlessly reminded him, "They shouldn't know we are hiding there eavesdropping. Only two people were talking, there's no need to say fake words, right?"
"Moreover, also no need to lie to children. Coach Toda also didn't refute by saying 'Where do I dislike him?'" Haibara Ai said.
"But, I think Coach Toda and Brother Chi's relationship is very good, where is there a problem!" Genta argued, saying.
Mitsuhiko sighed a bit, "This is adult life, hypocrisy, right?"
Conan: "..."
Haibara Ai: "..."
Hey, as children, no need to emit such a mature sigh, right?
But coming back to the point, the interaction between Coach Toda and Chi Feichei indeed can't see what's going on. If two people harbor resentment towards each other, they can still be kind in front of others, then these two people's acting skills are really formidable.
"What is Makino Coach planning? Not clear yet, but he seemingly wants to say something to Brother Hichiji. We can check first. If he wants to say something excessive, just say go home and it's okay," Haibara Ai sorted out her thoughts, "As for Coach Toda disliking Brother Hassashi… We should ask Mr. Mabuchi. He is Coach Toda's student. Here, probably only he understands Coach Toda better."
"No way!"
Conan interrupted with a serious face and told others about what he heard in the restroom.
There is also a problem with Mabuchi Kyohei. Currently they still don't know why, and Mabuchi Kyohei also wants to do something. If Mabuchi Kyohei originally knew about these matters, it's still nothing if they inquire. But if Mabuchi Kyohei doesn't know, it's very likely that Mabuchi Kyohei will use these matters to do something, which would be more unfavorable for Chi Feichei.
Rather than finding another breakthrough point first, first sort out these matters.
"Mr. Mabuchi's 'mistake from young time', will it be the same reason as Coach Toda disliking Brother Ike?" Mitsuhiko speculated, "Actually, this is the same matter?"
"Ten years ago, Brother Hassashi was only 10 years old. What mistake could he commit that's unforgivable, right?" Haibara Ai analyzed and said, "Also, consider, if it was a mistake that caused very serious consequences, to the point of making people resentful, Brother Hassashi, out of consideration for us, also wouldn't take us here for training. Even if he came, he would also tell us clearly."
"Correct, there are many places to train tennis. Chi Feichei couldn't not find one. There's no need to come here unnecessarily…" Conan tried hard to recall, attempt to analyze Chi Feichei's ideas.
Attempt failed.
He discovered Chi Feichei rarely tells people about past matters, or what he does recently, and even less expression of emotion. Facing a matter or a certain person, very little expression of intense emotion. Even if sometimes he looks cold or says overly harsh words, there's also no way to tell if Chi Feichei is truly angry or faking it, or how angry he is.
Sometimes he looks truly angry, but Chi Feichei probably just wants to make fun of people out of morbid taste. Sometimes he looks not angry, but Chi Feichei is probably already angry. Sometimes he pays no attention to people, possibly he can't stand certain people. Also possibly it's just that he doesn't want to talk at that time. Conversely, sometimes he kindly says a few more words to people. Also possibly it's not that he finds that person agreeable, but it's that he suddenly wants to say something, or to delay others for a certain purpose…
Uh, anyway, wanting to ponder Chi Feichei's ideas from Chi Feichei's behavior is too difficult. I think it's still better to think of other methods. Don't waste this time.
[Happy Birthday to Hassashi who must celebrate every year! ]
[Chapter End]
(End of Chapter)
Chapter 669: Does He Have Paranoia? [Chi Feichei Birthday Bonus Chapter]
Before the five Little Devils could figure things out, Coach Dong Tian Yue caught up to them.
Coach Dong Tian Yue had originally gone to the Washroom to look for Conan, but when he didn't find him there, he hurried back to check. He saw A Group of Children standing outside the Tennis Court talking, and that settled it.
Continue Training!
Seeing this, Conan could only suppress the questions in his Heart and decided to mention it to Chi Feichei on the way Home after Training.
It would be better to ask Chi Feichei directly anyway.
After sparring in pairs, they continued with action correction.
With Coach Dong Tian Yue's coaxing and praise, even though Training was boring, Time passed quickly. No one gave up or slacked off, and even Genta persevered to the end.
It wasn't until they were about to change Clothes and go Home that Genta belatedly realized how tired he was. Once they reached the Changing Room, he collapsed onto the bench for changing Shoes. "I'm so tired," he groaned, "My hands are sore. Do we have to do this kind of Training again tomorrow?"
"No," Conan said, seeing that Genta's spirits had recovered a bit. Before Genta could even sit up, Conan added with a Morbid Taste, "Coach Toda said we won't be doing so much Swing Training tomorrow, but we'll be adding running Training."
"Ah..." Genta slumped again, his mind racing. Could he pretend to be sick and skip Training tomorrow?
"Genta, you better not..."
Mitsuhiko hadn't finished speaking when Chi Feichei interrupted him.
"Go Out."
In the Changing Room, the light from the Incandescent Lamp was a bit pale. Chi Feichei stood with his back to them in front of the Locker. His voice, calm to the point of being cold, stunned the Three People.
"Everyone out," Chi Feichei repeated, Turning Around to Stare at the Three Little Devils as they walked towards the Entrance. "Hurry."
"Uh..." Feeling pressured by his Gaze, Genta scrambled up from the bench and walked towards the Entrance, a little scared. "Y-yes, I understand."
Mitsuhiko followed him a couple of steps, but still couldn't resist Turning his Head back. "But..."
But why was he suddenly so fierce in driving them out?
They hadn't done anything wrong... Grievance.
Conan tugged at Mitsuhiko, signaling him to do as he was told.
Just Now, he had also thought Chi Feichei was having a Mental Dislocation. But then he Realized that Chi Feichei had only Spoken Out suddenly after Going To the Locker. He Looked Up for a Glance and only then Discovered that the lock of the Locker in front of Chi Feichei seemed to have Traces of being pried open.
It just happened to be the compartment where Chi Feichei put his Things.
Once the Three Children reached the Entrance, Chi Feichei also followed them out. He took his right hand out of his Pants Pocket, and it turned out he was holding a Tennis Ball.
Mitsuhiko and Genta were even more confused when they Saw that Chi Feichei had also followed them to the Entrance and was holding a Tennis Ball.
Brother Chi wasn't driving them out, but he came out himself? What was he trying to do? Was he having an episode?
Uh, well, they should be understanding then.
On the day they accepted Brother Chi, they had made this Mental Preparation. It was just that Brother Chi had always Performed so Normally that they...
"Bang!"
Chi Feichei forcefully threw the Tennis Ball in his hand, hitting the compartment of the Locker squarely.
To be precise, it was smashed on the lock head.
The Tennis Ball bounced back after being thrown forcefully, then hit the opposite Cabinet and shoe rack, creating a series of crackling and banging sounds.
"Bang! Bang! Pop!"
Quickly, the second Tennis Ball that Chi Feichei threw also hit the lock head hard, and the Tennis Ball bounced back again.
The lock of the Cabinet had already been pried open. After Chi Feichei found the right Angle and smashed it twice, the lock popped open immediately.
From the Changing Room across the way, Haibara Ai and Ayumi, who hadn't had Time to change Clothes, opened the Door and poked their heads out.
"Did something happen?" Ayumi asked, looking questioningly at A Group of People standing at the Entrance of the Men's Changing Room.
Chi Feichei didn't answer. He wasn't in a hurry to enter the Door either. He squatted down, Took Out a Tennis Ball from Conan's Pants Pocket, found the Angle, and smashed it out again.
Conan: "..."
He had forgotten to Take Out the Tennis Ball he had casually put in his Pocket earlier. He hadn't expected Chi Feichei to See it too.
"Bang!"
The Tennis Ball Inside the Room smashed open that compartment of the Locker directly and bounced towards the Entrance.
Chi Feichei quickly closed the Door, listening to the 'pop' of the Tennis Ball hitting the Door, followed by continuous 'bang' and 'pop' sounds of Destruction Inside the Changing Room.
Haibara Ai Stepped Forward and cast a Doubtful Gaze at Conan, Genta, and Mitsuhiko.
What exactly is going on?
Mitsuhiko and Genta responded with blank faces.
Don't ask them. Brother Chi probably has Mental Dislocation.
But it was a good thing that Brother Chi hadn't forgotten to drive them out before smashing the Tennis Balls.
If they were still Inside, they Guess they would have had to squat down and cover their heads.
The Sound of the Tennis Balls smashing against the Cabinet Door made them feel pain just listening to it.
"Click."
Chi Feichei reopened the Door. Inside the Room, everything had returned to calm. Three Tennis Balls were scattered everywhere, and the Cabinet Door of the Locker was wide Open.
Conan couldn't help but Ask, "You don't Suspect there's a Bomb in there, do you?"
Chi Feichei made an 'Uh-huh' Sound, and only then did he enter the Door.
Bomb?
Haibara Ai's eyelid twitched. She Asked seriously, "What exactly is going on?"
"Someone messed with Brother Chi's Cabinet. The Locker lock has Traces of being pried open," Conan said, Speechless.
Thinking about how Chi Feichei had brain-imagined Last Time in the Elevator that the Murderer would block the Elevator and open fire... He Suspects Chi Feichei has Paranoia!
But, Last Time the Murderer really did Intend to block the Elevator and Gun down Chi Feichei. It's just that Chi Feichei's brain-imagination was a Mistake This Time. There was no Bomb.
"So, that's why you made us Go Out?" Mitsuhiko breathed a sigh of relief. He had thought they had made Chi Feichei angry, or that Chi Feichei was having a Mental Dislocation. Luckily, it was just a misunderstanding.
Chi Feichei didn't explain. He maintained a certain distance from the Locker and walked into the Door.
In that Moment Just Now when he Saw the Locker, he had indeed brain-imagined many Possibilities.
When he was distracted by the pry marks on the Cabinet Door, it was also very Possible that he would be attacked.
He had Observed when entering the Door that someone must have come in after they left. But when they came back in, Little Black wasn't there, so he could rule out that Possibility.
At the same time, there were no projectile Mechanisms or Weapons of that kind on the opposite side or the sides, so he could also rule out the Possibility of a Mechanism attack.
The Possibility of an attack was ruled out, but there might still be a Problem inside the Cabinet.
Robbed? Stolen? Are there troublemakers who want to harm me? If nothing is missing from Inside, then could there be something extra? Something like Blood-stained Clothes or a Weapon to frame someone? Or something like a Bomb, Snake, or Toxin that would kill upon opening the Door?
Although he hadn't heard the click of an electronically detonated Bomb, what if it was a touch-sensitive Bomb or something else?
In any case, he couldn't open the Door manually!
He Thought of using Tennis Balls to smash open the Door. When he said 'Go Out', he also Considered that this could all be a Trap. Someone might be anticipating his Idea, forcing him to Go Out, and planning to shoot him while he was off guard... But thinking about it, that was Unlikely.
Not many people were that arrogant, and not many people understood him that well either. People who understood him, were arrogant, and wanted him dead? Probably none.
But he still Decided to let the Children Go Out first, to Guarantee victory.
If someone was coming for him and raised a Gun in advance, waiting to instantly kill him as soon as he Stepped Out, then the Muzzle would be aimed High, pre-Aiming at the approximate Altitude of his Head or Heart. The Children Going Out first weren't tall enough; that Bullet wouldn't hit them. He, following closely behind, could then smash the person down with a Tennis Ball.
If the Other Party didn't raise a Gun in advance, then by the time they raised the Gun, he, being prepared, could Take One Step Ahead and smash the Tennis Ball in his hand at them.
As For whether the Other Party was coming for the Children, raising a Gun in advance and Aiming at the Children's height...
That's Impossible!
If the Other Party was coming for the Children, there was No Need to go to so much trouble, setting up Traps and calculations. They could just find an Opportunity to take a Gun and rush forward to kill this Group of Little Devils.
Was this Paranoia? No, he wouldn't admit it.
There were too many Dangers in this World. Think about Tequila, who was innocently bombed to death. Think about Gin, whose Helicopter could be shot down by Conan with just a retractable belt and a Helmet. Think again about how Tequila was already dead, while Gin was Still Alive...
After Comparison, it proved that his cautiousness was not a Mistake.
Conan still didn't Know that Chi Feichei's brain-imagination and calculations in that short Time Just Now were far more extensive than he could have imagined. Seeing Chi Feichei enter the Door, he also followed and Looked Up at the Locker.
Empty!
That compartment of the Locker was empty. The Backpack that Chi Feichei had put in earlier was gone.
Chi Feichei was Silent for a Bit, then said, "Good thing Hissashi isn't here."
Conan: "..."
Hey, it's already been stolen... Okay, well, if Hissashi had been here, given Hissashi's Hangover and still being asleep, plus the fact that they and Chi Feichei were all going to play Tennis and wouldn't have Time to look after Hissashi, Hissashi would most likely have been put in the Backpack and placed in the Locker... No, looking at Chi Feichei's expression, that's exactly what he was planning to do. In that case, it wouldn't just be lost Things now, they would also have to rush to find Hissashi.
Haibara Ai followed him into the Door and also Saw the empty Locker. She looked up and Asked Chi Feichei, "Brother Hichiji, what Things did you have in your Backpack?"
"Mobile Phone, Bank card, Home Key, Car Key, a Portion of Cash, the Clothes I changed out of, and some Things in the Clothes Pocket, like Hemostatic Medicine, Anti-Inflammatory Medicine, and Disposable Alcohol Swabs."
As Chi Feichei said this, he silently reflected in his Heart.
Mistake! All his Equipment was in the pockets of his original Clothes. After changing into Tennis Wear, he hadn't brought anything else with him. Now he had Nothing on him.
But Luckily, today was just a day to Go Out and play. There were no Action Necessities like APTX-4869 in his Backpack, nothing related to the Organization. The Mobile Phone Password would lock after three incorrect unlock attempts, and only Ark could Open it. There was No Need to worry about anything being discovered if someone took his Things.
"You didn't put any Company Confidential Files or anything like that in there, did you?" Haibara Ai Realized that Chi Feichei's Car Key had also been taken and Asked again, "What about in the Car?"
"No, there's only my Driver's License and Personal Health Insurance and things like that in the Car," Chi Feichei said, Turning Around to Go Out. "I'll Go To the Front Desk for a moment."
Chi Feichei used the Landline Phone at the Front Desk and made just One Phone Call to His Dad.
"Father, my Backpack is gone. My Mobile Phone is in it."
"Understood."
One Sentence each, Communication completed, and he hung up the Phone Call.
Conan followed him closely, but didn't have Time to clearly hear what Chi Feichei had Said. He just Saw Chi Feichei hang up the Phone Call. "Uh, can't you get through to the Emergency Call?"
How could he not get through to the Emergency Call? That shouldn't be possible.
"I didn't Report to Police," Chi Feichei Said.
After Reporting to Police, he would have to explain Personal Information, the specific Situation, Information about what was in the Backpack, and there would be repeated Communication. It would be very Troublesome.
It was much simpler to just Say it directly to His Dad.
One of his cards was a Bank card from a Bank under the Field Group. He could temporarily set it to a State where Transfers required repeated Confirmation. If someone tried to Transfer Money from his Account, not only would they be unable to Transfer it out, but their Location would also be easily traced by the Bank and Ark.
Another card was used to Transfer out Bounty, Organization Funds, and other Dirty Money. If he didn't Take Out Cash, that Money would be scattered in Bank Accounts in Switzerland. Only when he needed Cash would he Transfer Money to the card and then Take Out the Money. So, there was only change of less than 100 Japanese Yen in the card. If it was lost, it was lost.
Also, by Calling Chi Shinnosuke, he was also Intending for Chi Shinnosuke to Help him Locate his Mobile Phone.
His Mobile Phone had originally been prepared by Chi Shinnosuke. With Ark's Help, he would soon have News. In the Time it would take to Report to Police, he could probably find his Things himself.
As For whether Chi Shinnosuke understood his meaning... Well, he would just assume Chi Shinnosuke did.
End of Chapter
Chapter 670: Prank Incident Targeting Chi Feichei [Happy Birthday Chi Feichei Extra Chapter]
"Why not Report to Police?"
Conan was feeling surprised when the Landline Phone on the Front Desk Counter suddenly rang.
"Ding-ling-ling..."
Chi Feichei answered the Phone Call one Step Ahead of the Front Desk Receptionist.
On the other end of the Phone Call, Chi Shinnosuke didn't waste any time.
"Hissashi?"
"It's me."
"That Tennis Club you used to go to, Entrance Building, 37 degrees north-northeast, about 500 meters, Location can't pinpoint the exact Floor, find it yourself, no Abnormality in Bank Account Transfer."
"Understood."
The Phone Call ended.
Chi Feichei judged the Direction and walked towards the Office Building.
At the End of the Second Floor Corridor of the Office Building, a black and white Backpack was thrown in the Wall Corner.
The Junior Detective League, five Child, followed Chi Feichei from the First Floor to the Second Floor, and saw the Backpack from afar.
"Found it, it's there!" Genta pointed at the Backpack and Said.
"How did Brother Chi find this Place?" Conan wondered.
Just now, on the way here, Chi Feichei Seemingly had already Confirmed the Direction, and only searched in this Building.
Is it Reasoning? Or...
"I have a Location Program on my Mobile Phone, my Father can do Location." Chi Feichei explained.
Conan: "..."
No wonder Chi Feichei didn't Report to Police, with the Time it takes to make an Emergency Call, he could find it himself based on Location.
"I Don't Know who is doing this kind of Prank..." Mitsuhiko stroked his chin.
Genta ran towards the Backpack, but had only taken two steps when he was stopped by a cold voice.
"Stop."
Genta braked suddenly and stopped, turning his Head to Look at Chi Feichei.
"Go to the Rear."
Chi Feichei walked forward with a Tennis Ball and String he had picked up on the way, squatted down, tied one End of the String to the Tennis Ball and the other End to the Zipper Lock, then stood up again, holding the Tennis Ball and retreating, moving away from the Backpack.
The five Child stood in the Rear, quietly watching Chi Feichei messing around.
Chi Feichei retreated to in front of the five Child, and threw the Tennis Ball heavily out of the Window opposite the Corridor.
After the Tennis Ball flew out, the Backpack Zipper was pulled open with a 'whoosh' sound.
No Abnormality.
Mitsuhiko breathed a sigh of relief, "It seems there are no Dangerous Items like bombs."
Genta muttered speechlessly, "Is Brother Chi being too Careful?"
Chi Feichei didn't Turn Head, and walked towards the Backpack with the Zipper open, "Better safe than sorry."
Conan chuckled dryly and followed.
Ordinary Person, after finding a lost Backpack, should think about checking the Things inside as soon as possible to see if anything is lost, right?
Chi Feichei actually thought about Confirming whether there were Dangerous Items like bombs in the Backpack first, he was really something else.
The Key Point was, he also felt that what Chi Feichei Said was very reasonable, Safety first.
"What 'afraid of what, not afraid of what'?" Genta was a little Stunned.
"It's 'better safe than sorry'!" Mitsuhiko explained seriously, "It means that even if the Probability of something happening is not high, there is still a Possibility of it happening, so we must take precautions."
Conan squatted down in front of the Backpack with Chi Feichei, watching Chi Feichei inspect the items, "How is it? Is anything missing?"
"No, everything is inside," Chi Feichei pulled up the Backpack Zipper, stood up and Said, "The person who took the Backpack didn't Open the Zipper, they just threw the Backpack here."
He had previously stuck a Hair between the Backpack Zippers, at the Edge of the Backpack, as long as the Zipper was opened, the Hair would fall outside the Backpack.
Just now, he used a Tennis Ball and String to pull open the Zipper, and the Hair fell on the side of the Backpack, the position of the fall would not be caused by someone pulling the Zipper.
Furthermore, the way the Things inside were placed was not messy either, he Specially folded a corner of the Clothes inwards, and wedged a corner of the Bank card in the middle of the Flip Phone...
Those Details were still maintained in their original state, which Confirmed that the other party had not rummaged through his Things.
Conan only thought that Chi Feichei had Discovered that the Clothes had no Wrinkle, so he Confirmed that the other party had not opened the Zipper, and frowned in thought.
Who would do such a thing? And Why would they do this?
Since the Backpack had been found, the Group of People returned to the Changing Room to change Clothes again.
Chi Feichei re-inspected the Locker, changed Clothes in Silence, and took the Group of Child to the Parking Lot.
When they arrived at the Parking Lot, Chi Feichei Discovered that his Car Tires had been punctured...
"How excessive!" Ayumi Looked at the Rear Tire that had been punctured and was leaking air, her eyebrows furrowed tightly.
Haibara Ai also silently Looked at the Tire.
One Prank was fine, but to come one after another, it was too much bullying!
"Hissashi!" Makino Yasuhiko walked forward from the Rear, and asked with a face of Doubt, "Why are you all gathered in Front of Car? What happened?"
"Brother Chi's Car Tire was punctured!" Mitsuhiko frowned.
"Before, someone also threw his Backpack to the Second Floor of the Office Building," Genta puffed out his Face, almost turning into a Pufferfish, "Don't let us know which Fellow did it, otherwise we will definitely make him suffer!"
"Coach Makino, do you know who might do this?" Conan looked up at Makino Yasuhiko, frantically Testing.
Coach Makino had Said that Coach Tota hated Chi Feichei, so, as long as he guided this Topic a little, he could probably ask why Coach Makino thought so...
"This... I Don't Know either," Makino Yasuhiko didn't fall for Conan's trick, and Looked at Chi Feichei with a meaningful Gaze, "Hissashi, you..."
Chi Feichei Stared at Makino Yasuhiko, his Gaze calm, his Eyes like a deep, dark purple spring.
"Uh, what do you Think?" Makino Yasuhiko finished speaking with a stiff face.
Chi Feichei met Makino Yasuhiko's Gaze with a calm Expression, "Not clear."
He was at least an old hand at picking locks, and based on the Scratch Mark on the Locker Lock and the Trace inside, he could basically Confirm the height of the person who picked the lock.
Moreover, the other party was left-handed.
The only person who could reasonably enter the Changing Room without attracting attention, whose height matched, and was left-handed was Makino Yasuhiko.
He had Roughly Guessed Why Makino Yasuhiko did this.
His Backpack was taken by Makino Yasuhiko, but Looking at the hole Trace on the Wheel, the person who punctured the Tire used their right Hand, so it was Unlikely to be Makino Yasuhiko.
In Other Words, in addition to Makino Yasuhiko taking his Backpack, there was also a right-handed bastard who punctured his Tire!
"Cough," Makino Yasuhiko felt uncomfortable being Stared at, and always felt that his Little Intentions seemed to be completely exposed under that Gaze, so he took the lead to shift his Line of Sight, Step Forward and patted Chi Feichei Shoulder, "Since the Tire is broken, let's Go Together to the Dining Room for Dinner, how about it? There are Surveillance Camera in the Parking Lot, I can help you Ask the Security Guard for the Surveillance Video, we can See who has entered the Parking Lot during this Time, and we Should know who did it."
"Might As Well," Chi Feichei paused before Saying, "Coach Makino Seemingly is much more childish than Before."
"Ah?" Makino Yasuhiko heard Chi Feichei say this Sentence in a low voice, raised his Eye to Look, and Discovered that Chi Feichei had already walked towards the Parking Lot Entrance, then Looked down at his Clothes again.
Childish? Is it Because he was wearing Tennis Wear printed with green Star today?
...
The Group of People returned to the Dining Room again.
Makino Yasuhiko brought the Surveillance Video, and while waiting for Dinner to be served, he watched it with the others.
While the Group of People were watching the Surveillance, Coach Dong Tian Yue also ran to the Dining Room to eat, and joined the army watching the Surveillance by the way.
The Surveillance Camera did not capture the Place where Chi Feichei's Car was located. From the Time Chi Feichei and the Group of Child left the Parking Lot in the morning, there were nine people who had been near the Car or might have been near the Car.
Conan watched the Surveillance Video for a while, quietly jumped off the Chair, stroked his chin, thought for a while and walked Outside the Door, and groped all the way to the Changing Room, moved a Stool and stepped on it, tiptoed to see the Scratch Mark on the Locker Door Lock clearly, was Stunned for a moment, jumped off the Stool and ran to the Parking Lot.
The sky Outside had completely darkened, Haibara Ai, Ayumi, Mitsuhiko, and Genta quietly followed behind Conan, their Gaze gloomy.
After Conan arrived at the Parking Lot, he Discovered that the Repair Personnel called by Chi Feichei were already removing the Tire, ran forward and tilted his Head to Look at the Tire, his Pupils shrank, then frowned again, Turned Around and walked Outside the Parking Lot.
At the Parking Lot Entrance, Haibara Ai swayed to Conan's side, who was in a daze, and asked, "Already Gained something?"
"Yeah, I already know who took the Backpack, but..." Conan Subconsciously answered, and then belatedly Sense something was Wrong, Turned Head to Look, and Discovered that not only Haibara Ai was walking behind him, but Genta, Ayumi, and Mitsuhiko were also Staring at him gloomily from all around, and was startled.
Σ(っ°Д°;)っ
When did these people pop up?!
"Conan, you really want to Act Alone again." Genta glanced at Conan with Half-Moon Eyes.
"This Matter concerns Brother Chi, we can't sit idly by," Mitsuhiko Said seriously, "It's not just you who wants to Investigate the Truth!"
"It's too much to do this kind of Prank to Brother Chi one after another," Ayumi's Emotion was a little low, but she still Stared at Conan stubbornly, "And there may be someone who will Damage him, Isn't It?"
Haibara Ai's Expression was cold, but she also kept Staring at Conan.
That was her Older Brother, how could she not care?
"Okay, Okay, I know," Conan compromised, and Said his Gain to the others, "Actually, it's not a series of Pranks, the person who took the Backpack and the person who punctured the Tire are not the same..."
"There are two people?" Haibara Ai couldn't Understand a Bit, "Although Brother Hichiji's Personality is a little Weird, sometimes he Speaks without leaving any Affection and is Venomous Tongue, always releases Cold air, making the Criminal feel pressured and want to kill him..."
Conan: "..."
He suspected that Haibara Ai just wanted to take the opportunity to Teasing Chi Feichei.
Haibara Ai: "He Looks difficult to get along with, and occasionally makes people feel that he is not a good person..."
Ayumi: "..."
Genta: "..."
Mitsuhiko: "..."
Haibara Ai ignored the dull Expressions of the three Child, finished speaking slowly, and then added, "But there Shouldn't be so many people who hate him, as long as you can adapt to getting along with him, you will find that he is a very good person... Huh? What's Wrong?"
"Uh, it's nothing." Conan retracted his Line of Sight that looked around.
He wanted to See if Teasing would Summoning Chi Feichei.
Haibara Ai Nodded, "In short, if someone hates him, then it must be the other party's Fault."
Conan: "..."
Haibara's Tone of voice that takes things for granted is very similar to a certain Fellow who often makes people Speechless, she was indeed corrupted.
"Then Conan, do you already have a Clue as to who specifically did these Things?" Mitsuhiko restrained the Speechless feeling in his Heart and pulled the Topic back to the right track.
"Uh-huh," Conan Nodded, and analyzed seriously, "The Scratch Marks on the Locker Cabinet Lock are all from left to right, and the right side is much deeper than the left side, In Other Words, the person who picked the lock is left-handed, if it was someone from Outside, the Receptionist and the Security Guard at the Entrance Should have noticed and told us, and after they learned that a Guest had lost something, they didn't Say anything about suspicious people, In Other Words, it was done by someone Internal, and only Internal people can reasonably enter and exit the Changing Room without being suspected, and Chi Feichei's Backpack was placed on the second Floor of the Cabinet from top to bottom, the Strength of the Scratch Mark was from top to bottom, and there was no Trace of anything padded in front of the Cabinet, indicating that the other party is very tall, Possibly similar to Brother Chi, tall, left-handed, and someone from the Club, I Think, the person who took the Backpack Should be Coach Makino."
Haibara Ai recalled for a moment, Makino Yasuhiko had indeed been using his left Hand all the time before, and also Realized the Weird Words Chi Feichei Said when he left the Parking Lot, "Brother Hissashi Said Coach Makino was childish Before, could it be Said..."
(End of Chapter)
