Chapter 463: Chapter 671-675
Chapter 671 Another Day, Another Conversation Killed [Happy Birthday Chi Feichei - Bonus Chapter]
"That's right, Brother Chi already knew at that time," Conan's lips curled into a smile, worthy of being the Little Friend he was chasing after as a goal, "He already knew that Coach Makino was the one who took the backpack, that's why he said Coach Makino was much more childish than before…"
Ayumi stared intently at Conan, "Conan…"
"You actually called Brother Ike 'that guy'," Mitsuhiko sweated.
Genta reminded him, "If Brother Ike finds out, he'll say that's not polite at all!"
"It's no wonder, everyone is very self-aware, Brother Hichiji hasn't been saying these things much recently." Haibara Ai coldly glanced at Conan, subtly hinting that Conan was the 'un-self-aware' one.
The Famous Detective gets carried away with Deduction and blurts out his inner appellation, huh?
Moreover, Kudo actually calls Brother Hichiji 'that guy' in his heart… Even if you calculate based on their real ages, Hissashi is older than them, calling him 'Older Brother' is very normal, right?
Childish competitive spirit, does someone think that if he doesn't call him 'Brother', he can crush Brother Hissashi in Reasoning?
Conan recalled the 'wonderful' times he had been tormented by Hissashi, and sweated, "If you guys tell him, you'll be stared at by him too."
Haibara Ai: "…"
He even threatens Elementary School Student in a serious manner, this Famous Detective is really getting more and more childish.
However, Genta, Ayumi, and Mitsuhiko were indeed threatened, especially Genta. He didn't know how long he had been stared at by Hissashi. Every time he was impolite when talking to adults, he felt Hissashi's cold gaze condensing on him again…
"It's decided then, no one is allowed to tell!" Genta made the final decision.
Conan breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, "In short, Brother Ike already knows that Coach Makino is the one who took the backpack, and agreed to Coach Makino's invitation to the Club Restaurant, he must be on guard, he probably wants to see why Coach Makino did this and what his Purpose is. With his Ability, there's no need to worry about him suffering a Loss."
Genta, Ayumi, and Mitsuhiko thought of Hissashi's 'Paranoia' and skill, nodded in unison, and were a little worried about Coach Makino's Personal Safety.
If Brother Ike suddenly feels that Coach Makino wants to harm him and directly Start Doing… Uh, that would be too miserable.
However, Coach Makino actually did this kind of thing, and if the victim Brother Ike hammers him, they don't intend to interfere.
"However, I looked at the Trace on the Tire, it should have been done by a Right-handed Person," Conan continued, "In Other Words, the person who punctured the Tire is not Coach Makino, but someone else. Brother Ike should have also discovered this Problem, he Specially Looked at the Tire before."
"Then how do we find this person?" Ayumi recalled, "There are nine people who had the Opportunity to approach the Car, even if we exclude Coach Makino, there are still eight people left, some people have already driven away, and we can't Confirm whether they are Right-handed Person."
"Hmm…" Mitsuhiko also pondered, "And it's Not Necessarily a Retaliation Behavior aimed at Brother Ike, maybe someone hates red Lexus SC and couldn't help but puncture the Tire when they saw it?"
"No, the Other Party's Goal is very clear," Conan denied, "If someone went to the Parking Lot to drive and couldn't help but puncture the Tire of a car they hated, they would look for Things from the Car or themselves, but judging from the Trace on the Tire, the Other Party used a slender Awl to puncture the Car's Outer Tire along with the Inner Tube. Few people would put this kind of Thing in their Car or on their Body, right? In Other Words, the Other Party had already Intention to do so and prepared an Awl to go to the Parking Lot."
"Moreover, it's not like there are no Suspects," Haibara Ai said, "Among those eight people, Mr. Mabuchi seems to want to Retaliation against Brother Hissashi because of past Matters, and Coach Toda was said by Coach Makino to hate Brother Hissashi. Ten years ago, something seemed to have happened that made Coach Makino Think Brother Hissashi would not come here again. If Brother Hissashi has anything that Coach Toda hates, it's Probably when he came here for Training ten years ago…"
Conan nodded solemnly, "Let's start investigating these two people first! I'll ask Doctor Agasa to check Mr. Mabuchi's Data online, focusing on investigating past Matters, maybe there will be some Clue, and during this Time, we will go find old Employees who have worked in the Club for more than ten years and ask clearly what happened ten years ago."
The Junior Detective League began to Action.
After Conan Called Doctor Agasa to Help check Data online, Haibara Ai, Ayumi, Mitsuhiko, and Genta also went to the Front Desk to ask the Female Employee in charge of reception and learned about the people who had worked here for more than ten years.
"The entry Assessment for Coaches here is very strict. In addition to needing Knowledge of all aspects of Tennis and Tennis Match Tactics, they also need to have a certain Ability to Sparring with Professional Player, and even need to Know some Knowledge of Nutrition, so there are very few Coaches," Haibara Ai said about the Investigation Result, "Most of them are retired Professional Player. After reaching a certain Age, they come to be Coaches for a few years, teach their Ability, and then Retire. Although sometimes they will bring people Over, there are very few who have been in office for more than ten years. Three of them are just nominal Coaches, they only come Occasionally. Among the Coaches here today, besides Coach Makino and Coach Toda, there is only the rare Female Coach Coach Shiraishi. She has Training appointments today, and should have just returned to the Office now. I don't Know if she will stay at the Club Restaurant for Dinner, but it's still Time to go find her now."
"Other personnel like Front Desk receptionists, Security Guard, Dining Room staff, people who wash Clothes, people who are responsible for leading Guests to the Training Facility, delivering Water or Towel, people responsible for Hygiene… the turnover rate is relatively high, and University Student will also come to work as temporary workers during Holidays," Mitsuhiko said, "The Security Guard Captain who worked here ten years ago is still here, and he will always be in the Monitoring Room."
"Then there's also the Chef Mr.," Ayumi said, "He won't be in the Kitchen, he will be in his Office to Adjust the Recipe based on the Situation of the people who will come for Training tomorrow."
"There's also only one old cleaning lady," Genta said, "But she will come in from the Back Door around nine o'clock in the Night with people from the same Cleaning Company."
Conan Turn Head Looked at the Wall Clock, "It's already eight thirteen, let's split up, Haibara, go find Coach Shiraishi, Ayumi and I will go find the Chef, Genta and Mitsuhiko stay to find the Security Guard Captain, contact each other with Detective Badge to let us Know the Situation, and then go to the Back Door to meet up before nine o'clock and wait for the old cleaning lady to Come Over."
The five Children dispersed again to Investigation.
In the Dining Room, Coach Dong Tian Yue Looked at the Time, "Weird, where did the Children run off to? Dinner is almost ready."
"Not even Knowing where they went, they are really unlucky to encounter a Coach like you!" Makino Yasuhiko ridiculed.
Hissashi took out a Cigarette from the Cigarette Case and lit it, raised his Eye and found that the two people were Looking at him, and said without changing his Expression, "You guys continue, just pretend I don't exist."
He was just watching the Excitement.
Coach Dong Tian Yue: "…"
Makino Yasuhiko: "…"
No, can this kid Consider other people's Feeling before Speaking?
With such a suppressive and cold Aura, who can pretend he doesn't exist?
Also, what's with this Stance of Intention to watch a Play?
After a moment of Silence, Coach Dong Tian Yue smiled and sighed, "You've grown up, and the sharpness in your Heart can't be hidden anymore, but you're still young, smoke less."
"I usually only smoke when watching a Play or Thinking about Problems." Hissashi Said.
Coach Dong Tian Yue: "…"
He actually admitted that he was watching a Play?
"What does it matter?" Makino Yasuhiko's Tone was a bit playful, "Anyway, you can't be a Professional Player, why Care About so much? Are you worried about Impacting your Body?"
"Is it because of the mess ten years ago that you guys became like this?" Hissashi Asked.
Makino Yasuhiko: "…"
He originally Thought that Hissashi was still the silent Little Boy in his Memory, but now this mature Stance and calm but firm Speech Pattern is really…
Changed, changed, really changed.
However, when Hissashi mentioned ten years ago, Makino Yasuhiko and Coach Dong Tian Yue's Expressions both became unnatural and completely silent.
Hissashi Realized that he seemed to have killed the conversation again, and took out his Mobile Phone Speechless to Look at the Intelligence in the Email.
He had just gone to Ask the Dining Room staff and Realized that Makino Yasuhiko and Coach Dong Tian Yue had been arguing like this for several years. The Waiter was not sure whether it was eight or nine years, or ten years, but he also Guessed the Reason.
Ten years ago, he was not familiar with Makino Yasuhiko, but he heard that Makino Yasuhiko and Coach Dong Tian Yue had a good Relationship, and Coach Dong Tian Yue also praised Makino Yasuhiko very much. He didn't expect their Relationship to collapse after ten years.
It's Probably still Because of him.
Humans are really complicated and also very wonderful.
Looking at Makino Yasuhiko, such a big man, you can tell he's an old cynic as soon as he opens his mouth. Doesn't he feel awkward? His tall Appearance has completely collapsed.
Looking at Coach Dong Tian Yue again, as soon as he heard him Say about the Matters of ten years ago, his Face was full of wanting to Say something but stopping, wanting to Say something but stopping, his Face changed from firm to tangled, becoming like a running lantern.
He wanted to See how long these two people could hold back while sitting together like this.
However, he still had no Clue as to which bastard punctured his Tire.
Hmm… Joshua found Clue about Grace Aihara in a small town in Britain and has already rushed Over.
Feimo is missing…
Fei Li is missing…
Amuro Toru is missing…
Sawada Hiroki and Koizumi Akako went to open up a Military Training Camp, and these two people haven't had any News for a long Time either…
Just when Hissashi was silently Analysis and Confirming that these missing people and Animal were unlikely to encounter Danger, Conan and his Group also went to Investigation and got Results one after another.
"Okay, I got it…"
"Conan, how is it?" Seeing Conan hang up the Phone Call, Ayumi Asked immediately, "Did Doctor find out any News?"
"Hmm…" Conan's Expression was a bit strange, "Mabuchi Kyohei became a Professional Player three years ago. The only Intersection with Brother Ike is Probably his Younger Sister Mabuchi Junko. His Younger Sister used to be a Student at Beika High School, one grade younger than Brother Ike. After Graduation last year, she went Overseas to University. There is very little News about Mabuchi Junko, and Doctor only found so much, not even a Photo. However, if Mr. Mabuchi's Younger Sister and Brother Ike had Intersection during High School…"
"Um… a debt of Affection?" Haibara Ai's Voice came from the Detective Badge, "Brother Hissashi doesn't seem to Know Mr. Mabuchi, and it seems that he shouldn't be very familiar with that Girl. Of course, it's also Possibility that he inadvertently made someone sad, then that would be really wronged."
"In short, Doctor will go to the Forum related to Mr. Mabuchi again to Check," Conan also Felt that he couldn't figure it out. If they weren't very familiar, then it wouldn't be emotional deception or anything like that, so even if something happened to Mabuchi Junko, it wouldn't be blamed on Hissashi, right? "Let's not talk about Mr. Mabuchi's Matter for now, how is the Situation on your side about the Matters of ten years ago? Any Gain?"
(End of Chapter)
Chapter 672: Past Events from Ten Years Ago [Happy Birthday Chi Feichei Bonus Chapter]
"Coach Shiraishi doesn't know much either. According to her, Brother Hichiji came here for Training during the summer vacation twelve years ago, the winter vacation eleven years ago, and the summer vacation ten years ago. He trained very hard and was a very restrained person. His Level seemed to be not bad, and each time he would stay here for at least half of the holiday. He ate Lunch and Dinner here, and a Driver would pick him up in the Night, but often because he trained too late, he would stay overnight in the Dormitory here and eat Breakfast here the next day. It was almost like he lived here for a while," Haibara Ai said, "I asked her if Coach Toda disliked Brother Hichiji, and she smiled and said it was impossible. At that time, Coach Toda was very attentive to Brother Hichiji's Training, would stay with him until very late, and would stare at the Canteen to change the Cookbook according to Brother Hichiji's Body Situation. Sometimes Brother Hichiji trained too late, and Coach Toda would even send him Dinner."
"We asked the Head Chef, and his answer was similar," Conan said, "Coaches communicate a lot, but rarely talk about Training Situations, so he knows even less. However, he did see Coach Toda and Coach Makino letting Students try Competition back then. At that time, their Relationship should have been very good. In that Competition, Brother Ike won against all Opponents under the age of sixteen, but if we have to Say So about disliking someone, Coach Makino would be the one who dislikes Brother Ike, right?"
"Coach Makino and Coach Toda's Relationship seemed to deteriorate starting ten years ago, but it seems that their Relationship was already bad when Brother Hissashi was still Training. According to Coach Shiraishi, the specific Time was indeed after that Competition," Haibara Ai continued, "Probably a week later, Brother Hissashi left the Club, and hasn't come back in these ten years since."
"Could it be Because Brother Ike performed too well in the Competition, making Coach Makino lose Face and unwilling to be Friends with Coach Toda?" Genta joined the Detective Badge Discussion Group and speculated, "Coach Toda lost a Friend, so he dislikes Brother Ike?"
Conan frowned. This was a Possibility, but he always felt something was wrong. Coach Makino's Attitude and Coach Toda's Attitude didn't match This Situation. As for Chi Feichei's Attitude… Never Mind, Chi Feichei's Attitude is not worth pondering.
"However, regarding Coach Toda disliking Brother Ike, we have a Gain here," Mitsuhiko said, "Ten years ago, that Security Captain Mr. was just an ordinary Security Guard, responsible for Safety at the Entrance. He had Seen Brother Ike many times. After Brother Ike stopped coming to the Club, he Asked Coach Toda, but Coach Toda Said 'That Child better never come again' such Words."
"Everyone's Clues seem to be very few," Ayumi said.
"Things from ten years ago are too long ago," Haibara Ai said with a Sigh, "It's not only difficult to find People who worked here ten years ago, even if we find them, it's difficult to remember some Details from back then. Ten years have passed, and even the Data has been lost for the most part. Originally, Coach Shiraishi was going to take me to the Archives Room to Check the Photos and Training Arrangement taken when Brother Ike trained here back then, but no previous Data was found in the Archives Room… In short, after I came out, I hurried towards the Back Door, and I'm almost there now."
"Ayumi and I have arrived," Conan said, "It's almost nine o'clock, you guys hurry up and Come Over too."
"I Know."
"Genta and I are almost there too."
…
In the silent Corridor, after Haibara Ai cut off the Detective Badge Communication, she thought about it and felt that it would be better to Call and Ask her Godmother.
Although Chi Kana Seemingly is very busy and doesn't really care about her Child, completely free-range, but maybe she would Understand some Situations.
On the other side, when Genta and Mitsuhiko were about to reach the Back Door, they Saw Mabuchi Kyohei passing by. They felt it was Weird that Mabuchi Kyohei hadn't left the Club at This Time, and decisively followed him.
So at nine o'clock, only Conan and Ayumi were waiting at the Back Door.
"It's already nine o'clock and two minutes, why haven't they arrived yet?" Conan felt Weird and quickly sorted out his Clues. He felt he was already close to the Truth of ten years ago, but he was always a little bit short…
"Click."
The Back Door was Opened.
Seeing A Group of People getting out of a Cleaning Company Car, Conan quickly came back to his senses and found the Old Woman who looked the oldest among them to Ask about the Situation.
"Correct, I was responsible for the Hygiene Clean Up Work here ten years ago," the Old Woman spoke slowly, looking very Kind, "To be accurate, it's been fifteen years."
"Do you Know Coach Toda and Coach Makino?" Conan Asked.
"Them, I Know," the Old Woman spoke very slowly, but with a hint of dissatisfaction, "Everyone prefers Coach Toda, but I don't like him at all."
"Huh?" Conan was a little Doubtful, "Why?"
The Old Woman shook her Head, "That Person, in private, is not as Kind as he seems on the surface."
Could it be that Coach Toda is a two-faced Person?
Conan felt even more confused. It shouldn't be, it didn't feel like it.
"Then do you remember the Boy who came here for Training ten years ago?" Ayumi tried her best to describe Chi Feichei's Situation, "He was in charge of Coach Toda, very handsome, uh… his Tennis Level was very impressive, and he trained very hard, By the Way, his Eyes are Purple!"
Such obvious Characteristics, she almost forgot.
The Old Woman obviously didn't need much reminding, "Oh! That Child, of course I remember him, and I remember him very clearly…"
…
The previous Club was not much different from today, but the Equipment was not as smart as it is now.
The Doors of the previous Indoor Tennis Court were not replaced with electronic Doors with Signs. People Training inside would not close the Door tightly in order to let Others Know that someone was using the Training room, so that Sound could be transmitted out, or Light could penetrate out.
That Night, at almost ten o'clock, a Woman in her fifties and her Colleague who was twenty years younger were talking quietly, passing by with cleaning Tools.
She liked the Atmosphere here very much.
Here, there would be one Young Man after another with Vitality, sweating profusely, staring at the Net with firm Line of Sight again and again, hitting the Ball out with a 'bang', seemingly never getting tired of the monotony.
She still had Work to do, and often could only Come Over at Night. Only occasionally when she was resting could she go to the Outdoor Tennis Court during the Day to Take a Look.
But it's not a Pity either, even in the Night there would be Young People making an Effort to practice here.
That Night, she Saw a Boy, probably only seven or eight years old.
There were very few Children here, and even fewer Children Training until so late.
She came here almost every Day. Although she didn't play Tennis, she also knew how to watch.
She looked through the Door Crack and Discovered that the Child was Station in the bright Indoors, practicing his Swing. His Actions were still a bit clumsy, constantly correcting his own Actions. He should have just started learning not long ago, but the firmness and focus in those Purple Eyes was no weaker than anyone she had ever Seen.
She Thought, that Child must really like playing Tennis, maybe he even wanted to become a Professional Tennis Player, and he could become a Professional Tennis Player.
Without disturbing the Child, she and her Colleague quietly left and went to Clean Up the Office first. When they came back, the Lights there were already off.
From that Night onwards, she could occasionally See that Child's Training.
Sometimes he was alone, sometimes Coach Dong Tian Yue, who was always Smilingly, Keep Company with him.
But it wasn't every Night that she could See him. After All, she came over too late, and Besides, she Afterwards Realized that the Child only came over for a period of Time during the Holiday.
People came and went here. After a year, she almost forgot about that Child, when she Saw that Child Training in the Training room again in the Night.
That Child's Serve and Return were already impeccable, and he Seemingly was pondering some Skill. The Tennis Ball fell on the Ground and was caught by his Hand, once and again. After a while, the Tennis Ball was thrown up and hit out.
Just Like countless Nights before, she watched for a while, and continued to move forward. Perhaps she would linger at a Door with the Light on, and when the People inside Saw her, they would return a Smile, and then she would go to Work.
In another Night of that year, that Child Saw her. After she returned a Smile, he was stunned for a moment, Nodded to her, and continued Training.
Another year passed, and she Saw that Child again in a certain Night. This Time, she spoke to Mr. Dong Tian Yue.
"Mr. Toda, this Child is here again."
"Yes, he arrived about a week ago, but I told him to Rest early, so he didn't train too late. Tonight is Because there is a Practice Match organized between Coaches tomorrow, and he wants to participate, so I'm Keeping Company with him to Come Over for Training."
"He's still young, he Should pay attention to Rest… By the Way, I'm resting tomorrow, can I Come Over to watch his Competition?"
"Of course, tomorrow's Competition is at Court No. 2 Clay Court, starting at nine o'clock in the morning, Lunch break at noon, starting at one o'clock in the afternoon, lasting for three Days in total."
She went to watch the Competition the next Day.
Just Like she had a Premonition two years ago, that Child was very outstanding, more impressive than his peers and People who were much older than him. He was Probably the Champion of this Practice Match.
On the third Day, she had to go to a Company to Clean Up during the Day, so she didn't go to watch the Competition. When she arrived at the Club in the Night, she Indeed Saw that the Training room was lit.
She Thought she Should Ask for that Child's Name. Maybe that Child would be a Celebrity among Tennis Players in the future. She also wanted to chat with that Child, Ask him how old he was, how the Competition was today, and by tomorrow, she Should probably Congratulate him on winning the Champion. She could See that Others were not his Opponents…
Thinking like this, she quickly walked towards That Door, brushed past a Coach who was passing by, but heard Dong Tian Yue inside Say, his Tone was rarely stern.
"I've Said to you, you are not Suitable for playing Tennis, leave as soon as possible, I don't want to and will not teach you anymore in the future!"
"There is still the final Competition tomorrow, and Besides, I still need to practice the Skill you mentioned for a few more Days, and then I will leave," the Child Said softly. When he went out, he Saw her, Nodded to her, and walked towards the Dormitory Building.
She couldn't Understand why Dong Tian Yue Said that. That was clearly a very outstanding and very hardworking Child, so she also Asked Dong Tian Yue who was coming out.
Dong Tian Yue replied with a sullen Face, "As a Professional Tennis Coach, I Know very well what kind of Person is Suitable and what kind of Person is not Suitable!"
…
"From that Day onwards, I never Saw that Child again, and I Don't Know when he completely left the Club," the Old Woman Said, "I only Know that he was Indeed the Champion of that Practice Match."
"How could This Situation be like this…" Ayumi's Eyes turned red as she listened.
Conan felt a little touched in his Heart. He didn't expect that Fellow Hissashi had such a History in the Previously…
"I was still in Time to Congratulate him on winning the Champion. Although it was just a Champion of a private Practice Match, someone Should Congratulate him, After All, he was just a Child," the Old Woman Smiled, "However, if he leaves here, he can also go to other Places to practice. Such an impressive Person, it's the Same wherever he goes. Maybe in another two years, we can See him On Television."
Ayumi pursed her lips.
She knew that Chi Feichei didn't play Tennis anymore, and it was impossible to See Chi Feichei On Television…
Hold back, hold back, can't hold back anymore.
The more Ayumi Thought about it, the sadder she became, and she 'waa' cried out, startling Conan.
Conan was stunned for a moment, then his Eyes lit up, "I Understand!"
(End of Chapter)
Chapter 673 Payback for Slashing My Tire[Happy Birthday Bonus Chapter for Chi Feichei]
"Ayumi..." Mitsuhiko's hushed voice came from the Detective Badge, "Keep it down."
Ayumi felt even more aggrieved. She just wanted to cry, wanted to cry loudly, and didn't want to keep it down.
Mitsuhiko panicked a bit, "We can ask Coach Tota about that matter later..."
Haibara Ai's voice, "I also have something I want to say to him."
So everyone was listening...
"It's not that, I wanted to..." Conan was about to explain when Mitsuhiko interrupted him in a low voice.
"Putting that aside, we just ran into Mr. Mabuchi and secretly followed him. We heard him personally say on the phone in the Lounge that he was the one who punctured Brother Chi's Car tire, just to make Brother Chi stay behind. He also said he didn't want to dilly-dally anymore, wasting opportunities would lead to regret. Afterwards, he went to the Dining Room alone with a dark face... Anyway, Genta and I will stop him first, you guys hurry over!"
"Hey..."
Before Conan could speak, he realized the Communication had been cut off and quickly ran towards the Dining Room.
If Mabuchi Kyohei was targeting Chi Feichei, then just leave it to Chi Feichei to solve. Chi Feichei can handle it. Those two Children shouldn't try to stop him and end up getting hurt themselves.
Too reckless!
Ayumi couldn't bother crying anymore, hiccuped, wiped the corner of her eyes, and followed after them.
...
The path leading to the Dining Room was silent. Mabuchi Kyohei walked step by step towards the brightly lit Dining Room with a stiff face.
As he got closer, he could faintly hear Coach Dong Tian Yue talking to the Chef in the Dining Room.
Closer, five steps, four steps...
As long as he stepped through That Door, he would...
"Action!" Children's shouts suddenly came from behind him.
Before Mabuchi Kyohei could turn his Head to see clearly, Genta, who rushed out, gave him a 'Wild Bull Rush', pushing him in the back.
Mabuchi Kyohei directly lunged through the Door and fell in front of the Dining Table.
Coach Dong Tian Yue glanced sideways, "..."
What's going on?
Makino Yasuhiko, "..."
What happened?
Chi Feichei raised his Eyes, "..."
Having discovered that this group of Kids had collectively disappeared for a while, he knew something was going to happen.
Were they helping him find the person who punctured his tire?
"Hey!" Mabuchi Kyohei was about to get up when Genta followed up with a 'Mount Tai Press', deeply feeling the weight from the Elementary School Student.
"Don't even think about doing Bad Deeds!" Genta plopped down on Mabuchi Kyohei's back and said menacingly, "Mitsuhiko!"
"Click!"
"Click!"
Mitsuhiko continuously handcuffed two Toy Handcuffs onto Mabuchi Kyohei's ankles.
Although they were toys, they were still Metal Products.
Because he discovered that toys could be broken free from, he specially prepared two and handcuffed them crosswise. It would still take an adult some time to break free.
Mabuchi Kyohei was completely unable to stand up, "I..."
Ayumi, who had run up close, saw that the 'battle' had already begun, reached into her pocket, took out a Small Bottle, and flung it out far away.
Chi Feichei saw the Bottle flying towards the Dining Room, immediately Get Up and darted out the Door.
As for the others, he couldn't control them, and it was too late to remind them...
"Bang!"
The Bottle landed, and the Chili Powder inside burst out.
The Dining Room was directly thrown into chaos.
Coach Dong Tian Yue, Makino Yasuhiko, Coach Shiraishi, and the Waiter who had stepped forward to serve tea, who were originally planning to have Dinner after the Children arrived, all got a whiff of it.
Chi Feichei stood Outside the Door, watching A Group of People running out, silently holding his breath.
To rashly open his mouth to remind them would easily lead to getting a mouthful of Chili Powder...
Mabuchi Kyohei, who couldn't stand up or run away, choked on Chili Powder, closed his Eyes and coughed until Tears streamed down his Face.
In the end, Chi Feichei couldn't stand to watch anymore, entered the Door, and hauled Mabuchi Kyohei out.
Five minutes later, A Group of People recovered. After the Chili Powder in the Dining Room was cleaned up, they returned to the Dining Room again.
Mabuchi Kyohei slumped in the Chair, wiped his Face with a Wet Towel, and only then felt a little better. However, as soon as he put down the Towel and raised his Eyes, he saw Genta, Ayumi, and Mitsuhiko staring intently at him. He looked down at the crosswise handcuffs on his feet, still a bit stunned, "Wh-Why..."
Why were they doing this to him?
Chi Feichei sat across from Mabuchi Kyohei, "Payback for slashing my tire."
"Correct! Confess honestly..." Genta nodded, paused for a moment, and turned his Head to look at Chi Feichei, "Brother Chi already knew it was him?"
"I knew you guys definitely went to find the person who punctured the tire," Chi Feichei explained.
Conan, "..."
So this guy guessed their Intention and was just waiting in the Dining Room to 'sit back and reap the benefits'?
However, this person really wasn't found by them through searching for Clues, but was just coincidentally bumped into by Genta and Mitsuhiko.
Makino Yasuhiko thought of Mabuchi Kyohei's miserable state just now and felt a bit Scalp Numbing.
These Children probably don't know that he pried open Chi Feichei's Cabinet and took Chi Feichei's Backpack, right?
"Not only that," Mitsuhiko said to Chi Feichei, then looked at Mabuchi Kyohei with a serious Face, "What exactly do you want to do to Brother Chi?"
Chi Feichei thought these Words were a bit Weird. What did he mean by wanting to do something to him...
Mabuchi Kyohei paused for a moment, raised his Eyes to look at Chi Feichei, his Gaze complex, "Mabuchi Junko... she's my Younger Sister."
Haibara Ai, holding a cup of Orange Juice, walked to Chi Feichei's side, sat down, put in a straw, and silently watched the two people.
Hmm, indeed related to that Girl?
It's time to enjoy Gossip while drinking Juice again.
It's all because previously, when Chi Feichei was around and there was Juicy Gossip to enjoy, she always had Juice to drink at hand, which made her develop a habit. She always felt that Gossip heard without the Companionship of Juice had no Joy.
"I guessed it," Chi Feichei wasn't surprised. Mabuchi Kyohei would secretly glance at him from time to time during the day, and they also shared the same surname Mabuchi. If he still couldn't tell, he would be too slow-witted. "But why did you puncture my tire?"
"Don't misunderstand! I have no Malice, I just wanted to find an Opportunity to talk to you alone," Mabuchi Kyohei looked at A Group of Children, "But previously you were always with Others. When you went to Training, I also didn't know which Serving Training Room you were in. I was worried that you would have already left by the time I came out, so... so I went to the Parking Lot, thinking that as long as there was a Problem with your Car, you would probably stay until the Car was repaired."
"Then why were you in the Washroom, making a Call to someone saying 'Everyone should pay the price for the Mistakes they made when they were young'?" Mitsuhiko questioned sternly, "Could it be that it's because Brother Chi previously did something that wronged your Younger Sister, and you want to Retaliate against him?"
"Huh?" Mabuchi Kyohei was Stunned.
Chi Feichei also said Speechless, "Your imaginations are really rich."
He and Mabuchi Junko had only met three or four times during High School, they weren't that familiar. Where did these Kids' minds wander to?
Haibara Ai rested her right hand on her chin, placed it on the Table, and bit on the straw to drink Juice.
Huh? This Gossip actually still has a twist.
"Turns out you thought I wanted to Retaliate against Mr. Chi," Mabuchi Kyohei said, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, and quickly explained, "Unexpectedly, you heard me making a Phone Call in the Washroom. But Matters aren't what you're thinking. At that time, I was calling Junko. Making Mistakes when young was also referring to Junko, not Mr. Chi."
"In Other Words, actually it's your Younger Sister who did something that wronged Brother Chi?" Genta stared at Mabuchi Kyohei.
"Sorry... you could also Say So," Mabuchi Kyohei hesitated for a moment, "Actually, it's no big deal to tell everyone. When Junko was in High School, she was studying at Beika High School. She knew a Girl named Asaka. They had the same hobbies and Interests, got along well, and quickly became good Friends. But she discovered that Asaka often Staring at a Senior in a daze, with a worried look. One day, she knew that Asaka had arranged to meet that Senior, and secretly followed her. She saw Asaka crying and bowing. Afterwards, she told Others that the Senior was too Cold and Arrogant, and even bullied cute Girls, things like that. Then, it led to Rumors spreading like wildfire, and that Senior was Isolate in School..."
"Could it be that, that Senior is..." Mitsuhiko Look Towards Chi Feichei.
"Correct, it's Mr. Chi," Mabuchi Kyohei nodded and added, "But, this is just superficially the course of events of this Matter. Mr. Chi also thinks so, right?"
Chi Feichei Uh-huh'ed, "Then, what is the fact?"
Haibara Ai continued to drink Juice with a straw.
Actually, there's still inside information? This Gossip today is not bad.
"She did it Intentionally," Mabuchi Kyohei raised his Head and looked straight at Chi Feichei, "Initially, she thought that it was just a sentence or two from her, and it wouldn't gain Others' approval, but instead, it would get these Words to the Ear of the person she liked, and that person would come to her for explanation. But she didn't expect that the Development of Matters completely surpassed her imagination. Rumors spread wider and wider. Your Classmate from Middle School days also started saying how Cold and Arrogant you were in Middle School, and how much you looked down on everyone. There was more than one person who badmouthed you. She, the instigator, not only failed to get your attention, but even Others no longer paid attention to her..."
"Please give me a cup of Watermelon Juice," Chi Feichei turned his Head and Said to the Waiter.
"Uh, okay." The Waiter could only put aside his Intention to enjoy Gossip and go get Juice.
Conan looked at Chi Feichei Speechless. How could this Fellow still be in the Mood to drink Juice?
"Bring me one too!"
Uh-huh, he'll drink too!
Genta, "Me too."
Ayumi, "I want to drink too..."
The Waiter saw this, simply used a cart to wheel out two large bottles of Watermelon Juice and a pile of Glass Cups. One cup each, and he also poured a cup for himself and sat aside.
Mabuchi Kyohei, "..."
This scene of everyone with a cup of Juice in hand, sitting around waiting to hear the Story, what's going on?
He was really seriously discussing serious business.
The Waiter young man saw Mabuchi Kyohei looking at him, paused for a moment, Get Up and handed over a cup of Watermelon Juice, "So-Sorry, Mr. Mabuchi, I forgot to pour you a cup."
Mabuchi Kyohei took the Cup, was Speechless for a moment, but still continued to talk about Serious Business, "Afterwards, Asaka found Junko. Only then did Junko Realize that Asaka wasn't confessing and getting rejected that day, but was going to Apology. She and Asaka truly are best Friends who get along best. They not only share common Interests, but even the person they like and the wrong Method are all alike..."
"Please give me a cup of Watermelon Juice," Chi Feichei turned his Head and Said to the Waiter.
"Uh, okay." The Waiter could only put aside his Intention to enjoy Gossip and go get Juice.
Chi Feichei saw Haibara Ai turning her Head to look at him and explained, "Kutsuna... is Asaka. In Middle School, we were in the same School. During my second year of Middle School and her first year, she confessed to me, and I refused. She also told Others that I was hard to get along with, Cold and Arrogant, Words like that."
"I see," Haibara Said, "When you were in your second year of High School, Miss Asaka and Miss Junko also went to Beika High School to School. Miss Junko thought that Miss Asaka had only confessed then and was harshly rejected, and she was also afraid to tell you herself, so she wanted to use other Methods to talk to you. But because you weren't in the same grade, and also because you had few Friends due to Rumors during your Middle School years, and probably didn't join School Club Activity much, she couldn't find an Opportunity to talk to you, so she resorted to this approach, wanting you to actively seek her out. But what she didn't know was, her Friend had also done the same thing during Middle School. Middle School Rumors combined with her Words, only then led to things getting out of hand."
(End of Chapter)
Chapter 674: Boss, Don't Talk About Number Two [Happy Birthday Chi Feichei Bonus Chapter]
"My Parents are very strict and don't want us to be in romance before University. Junko always hid it from her Family, and no one told her what to do. She wasn't as brave as Asaka. When the rumors got worse and worse, she chose to escape. She didn't have the courage to stand in front of you again, nor the courage to confess her little Intentions to others, even Asaka. And even less to formally say 'I'm sorry' to you before you Graduation and left," Mabuchi Kyohei said, looking at Chi Feichei. "After she Graduated from High School last year, she chose a University Overseas and reduced contact with Asaka. I thought it was very Weird. After I asked her a few times This Year, she told me that she was very Regretful, and felt that she should have at least apologized to you before you Graduated..."
"Actually, I should have Realize it earlier. Her Emotion suddenly became very low in the past two years, and she also became taciturn. I should have noticed it, but at that time I was busy with Tennis Training and Tennis Match. It was only after so long that I Realize she was hiding this Matter in her Heart."
Saying that, Mabuchi Kyohei smiled helplessly, "Today I met Mr. Chi and secretly called her. In the Washroom, I talked about paying for the Mistake made when she was young. I was comforting her that she hasn't been Happy these years and has been living in guilt. I think she should face this Matter and come to you to explain it clearly, or let me Say it. But she procrastinated again, saying she wanted to prepare Mentality and then come to you in person to talk about this Matter. I think it's not okay to continue like this, so I simply said it for her. Junko is my Younger Sister, and I also have to apologize to you on her behalf..."
"Never Mind," Chi Feichei said calmly, "I am indeed not a very easy person to get along with."
This wasn't saying the opposite. He himself was taciturn, and the Original Consciousness also had Problems in terms of social interaction. He wasn't a very approachable person.
But what's Different between him and the Original Consciousness is that he doesn't Care About these Matters. If it had been him back then, no matter what others Said, he would just live his Life happily.
Cold and Arrogant? Uh-huh, Correct, I am this kind of person. Do you have an Opinion? If you have an Opinion, you can Say it directly, but whether I listen or not depends on my Mood.
Probably it's because of the Difference in Mentality. Although he occasionally feels the Emotion of the Original Consciousness in Memory, he can't treat it as something that happened to himself, which also led to his generosity.
Actually, he is not qualified to forgive anyone on behalf of the Original Consciousness, whether it's Mabuchi Junko or Chi Kana.
But the Original Consciousness has already dissipated, and the living people have to continue living. He who took over this Body and this Identity will also continue to exist in this World, so let's make a Choice that is good for everyone.
If the Original Consciousness existed, with that Fellow's Personality, figuring out these Matters and getting them Solved would probably also make him relieved and much more relaxed, right?
"Brother Hichiji, do you really not Care About it?" Haibara Ai discovered that the straw was sucking air. She looked down and Realize that she had finished a glass of Orange Juice. She Reach Out to take the Watermelon Juice.
Gossip or Watermelon Juice is better...
"It's all in the past, I didn't Care About it," Chi Feichei stopped Haibara Ai's Hand and moved the Juice away a Bit, "Drink less."
Drinking so much Juice before eating Rice, not to mention whether you can still eat Rice later, it's also easy to get a Belly ache.
"Mr. Chi..." Mabuchi Kyohei hesitated, he couldn't figure out what Chi Feichei's Attitude meant, whether he had forgiven his Younger Sister or not.
Haibara Ai regretfully withdrew her Hand. Although she knew she really couldn't drink anymore, she couldn't help but secretly tease Chi Feichei, "Don't Worry, if Brother Hichiji Cared About it, he would have gone to your Home long ago. He is not that kind of person who swallows his anger and does nothing."
In Haibara Ai's Heart, is he this kind of person? Chi Feichei silently reflected on what Matter made Haibara Ai have this Illusion, and by the way reminded, "Can you be a gentle and considerate caring little cotton-padded jacket like other people's Younger Sister?"
"You are not as Kind and gentle as other people's Older Brother, and not stingy with giving your Younger Sister a few Smiling Face." Haibara Ai retorted leisurely.
Everyone is about the Same, Boss, Don't Talk About Number Two.
Conan couldn't help but chuckle. He felt that Haibara was more Suitable to be reborn into the Chi Family, so that she could argue from a young age... Uh, Never Mind, Never Mind, if these two people had lived in a Family early on, their Personalities would be even worse than they are now.
Genta, Mitsuhiko, and Ayumi shifted their Line of Sight to Makino Yasuhiko and Coach Dong Tian Yue again. They hadn't forgotten that there were still two problematic figures here!
Mitsuhiko looked at Makino Yasuhiko seriously, "Then, Coach Makino took Brother Ike's Backpack..."
Makino Yasuhiko was Stunned, these Child already knew?
"Wrong," Ayumi Interrupt Mitsuhiko's question, looked towards Coach Dong Tian Yue, "I think we should ask Coach Toda first!"
"Uh..." Coach Dong Tian Yue was a A Bit Stunned. Why is this Child looking at him with such fierce Gaze?
Conan came back to his senses and quickly Said, "Coach Toda doesn't hate Brother Ike."
Ayumi frowned, "But ten years ago..."
"Ten years ago, Coach Toda Said Brother Ike was not Suitable for Tennis, actually Because he didn't want Brother Ike to become a Professional Tennis Player, right?" Conan looked towards Coach Dong Tian Yue, "At that time, Brother Ike would Training until very late. I think the Training Intensity had exceeded the Intensity corresponding to his Age, but Coach Toda once injured his Eyes due to too strong Competitive Spirit and could never stand on the professional court again. And today's Training for us is also appropriately arranged according to Age. Therefore, his Training was not arranged by Coach Toda, but he conducted Training On his own. Coach Toda probably saw the dangerous Competitive Spirit in him, worried that he would follow his old Road, so he Said some excessive Words..."
"Then why not Say it directly?" Makino Yasuhiko said dissatisfiedly, "Why would you rather Blow a Child's Confidence who is Talented and hardworking, than directly explain it to him clearly?"
Conan Be Stunned for a moment, and then muttered in a low voice, "I See."
"What's Wrong?" Haibara Ai asked in Doubt in a low voice.
"He thought that Coach Makino and Coach Toda have been at odds these years Because Coach Makino heard those Words Coach Toda Said ten years ago," Chi Feichei said, "But they have worked together for many years after all. Coach Makino is very clear about the Reason why Coach Toda did this, he just can't accept Coach Toda's Handling Method."
"Yes, I think at that time, Coach Makino was also paying attention to Brother Ike," Conan Nodded and admitted that he had indeed guessed this way before, "That old woman Said that she brushed past a Coach on the Night of the second Day of the Competition. That person was probably Coach Makino. I thought Coach Makino had an Opinion on Coach Toda Because he was dissatisfied with those Words and felt that Coach Toda had delayed Brother Ike..."
"Because I had a Premonition that I couldn't persuade Hissashi," Coach Dong Tian Yue suddenly Speak Out, his Face becoming a little Weird, "His Training Intensity not only exceeded that of his peers by a lot, but it was basically already at the Limit that his Body could bear. Initially, when I saw a Child who was Talented and hardworking, I also felt very gratified..."
At that time, Coach Dong Tian Yue Intention was to train Chi Feichei as his only Disciple, feeling that his Wish of not being able to stand on the professional court could be inherited by Student, and that little Fellow would definitely shine brightly.
In the first year when Chi Feichei came to Training, although Coach Dong Tian Yue felt that the Training Intensity was too High, his Attitude was not too tough to stop it. Perhaps he had tried, but he failed to convince Chi Feichei, and was instead convinced by Chi Feichei.
"'Isn't Effort good? Anyway, my Training has not exceeded the Limit that my Body can bear, Isn't It?' Just this Words made me unable to refute," Coach Dong Tian Yue looked frustrated, indicating that it was too difficult for him as a Coach. It's not that he hadn't thought about talking it over properly, but he couldn't win the argument, "When he came over in the second year, I felt that it couldn't continue like this anymore. I also talked to him about the Problem of too strong Competitive Spirit, but none of them were successful. On the contrary, I was somewhat convinced by him..."
Who can understand how difficult it was for him at that time? After talking to Chi Feichei here, he was full of Heat, and his Heart was full of: That's right, young people should work hard, there's nothing wrong with having a strong Competitive Spirit, Competitive Spirit is the driving force for Humanity to move forward.
After calming down afterwards, his Heart was again full of: No, that's not right, too strong Competitive Spirit is also harmful. He was trying to persuade that Child, how could he be convinced instead? The next time he went to talk, he repeated the same old Road.
Conan glanced at Chi Feichei, look, look, look, what have you done to the Coach, even a good-tempered and Kind person can be forced to say 'You are not Suitable, I don't want to teach you' with a Cold Face.
Chi Feichei didn't explain. These are two Different Life Philosophies.
One believes that one should proceed step by step, do the right thing at the right time, protect oneself, and focus on the Future.
The other believes that Life should take advantage of being young and energetic to compete and fight.
It's impossible to Say who is right and who is Wrong, or rather, neither is Wrong.
Coach Toda's past History led to the former Viewpoint, and for the Original Consciousness, Effort was also to achieve his Goal. If he was willing to fight, what was Wrong with that?
He still thinks that the Idea of the Original Consciousness at that time was not Wrong.
In Memory, Coach Toda once Asked: If your Competitive Spirit is too strong, have you ever thought about what if you lose a Competition one day?
Probably he wanted to give the Original Consciousness a Preventive Shot, worried that the Original Consciousness would suffer a greater Blow after losing and couldn't get over it in his Heart.
And what the Original Consciousness Said at that time was...
"I won't lose. If I lose, I will probably be a little unwilling, and then win back next time, and win back again and again, until the other party can't Challenge me... That's what he Said," Coach Toda also remembered Chi Feichei's Words back then, feeling very helpless in his Heart. So he was pumped up again at that time, "I was convinced again, and even agreed to his Extra Training, which was on the eve of that Practice Match. It wasn't until the Competition that I Realize that it couldn't continue like this. If he really wanted to continue, I wouldn't stop him, but I wouldn't teach him anymore. Even if he thinks I'm a Bad Person, when he stands on the Competition field to compete for victory that Day, when he wants to take risks in order to win, if he can remember me as a Bad Person, remember what I Said, and hesitate a A Bit and Consider the Consequences, then it's worth it."
"Then why wouldn't it be that when I remember you, I would want to prove even more that your Idea is Wrong? I can keep winning, I can make you Regret, and instead work even harder?" Chi Feichei asked back.
He wasn't arguing for the sake of arguing, but rather raising a Possibility. If it weren't Because the Original Consciousness's Goal was not originally to be a Professional Tennis Player, he might really go to this Extreme.
Coach Dong Tian Yue was Stunned for a moment, and then fell into Silence.
Yes, if he Said that, what if it backfired? Again and again and again, he suddenly felt that what Chi Feichei Said was very reasonable.
Then is he Wrong? Wait, he needs to sort it out. What was he thinking at that time...
(End of Chapter)
Chapter 675 Energetic, Can Add Extra Training [Happy Birthday Chi Feichei, Extra Update]
Seeing Coach Dong Tian Yue looking like he was doubting his life, Conan could roughly feel how difficult Coach Dong Tian Yue's past had been. He tried to salvage Coach Dong Tian Yue, who was on the verge of being broken by Chi Feichei, "But at least Brother Chi isn't like that now, right?"
Coach Dong Tian Yue Nod.
"Because Brother Hassashi's Goal has never been Professional Tennis." Haibara Ai spoke out. Seeing the others looked at her, she propped her chin up with one hand, her Expression somewhat lazy, "I called Godmother earlier, she said that during that time you were not only in training tennis, but also learning horse riding, shooting, Latin, and the piano you have been learning since you were a child has not been abandoned. The reason why you only come over during summer vacation or winter vacation every year is because you have to go to study other things during another holiday. Godmother said that she thought at that time that you had a wide range of interests, and it would be good to learn more things to pass the time, but after listening to what I said, she realized that you had been to Britain before, and someone said some not very good words. You probably just wanted to prove it to those people."
She wanted to mention that past event in as light a tone as possible. Chi Kana didn't tell her what those people said, but she could probably imagine that it would definitely be more hurtful than the words Coach Dong Tian Yue said back then.
Hurtful to the point that Chi Feichei could desperately learn so many things in those years.
Even if Chi Feichei didn't squeeze his stamina and energy at the Tennis Club, he would probably do so at the Riding Arena, in the Piano Classroom, at the Shooting Range, or even somewhere else.
Haibara Ai didn't knew that Chi Feichei had lived two lifetimes, but she thought of Chi Feichei's Horseback Archery again, and couldn't help but sigh in her heart.
At that time, she only thought it was wonderful and amazing, but she never thought about how much sweat was piled up behind it.
This was only what she could knowledge, and she didn't knew how much more there was behind the scenes. Even Chi Kana didn't knew when Chi Feichei learned combat, cooking...
"Is that so?" Coach Dong Tian Yue looked at Chi Feichei in surprise.
"I said it to you before, right?" Chi Feichei said, "I didn't go for Professional Tennis, I have my own reason."
"Uh, I thought you were just being insincere," Coach Dong Tian Yue scratch head somewhat awkwardly, "After all, your training at that time..."
"But no matter what, you can't see your student's goodwill, and you said those kind of words to a child, it's a bit too much," Makino Yasuhiko said, "I'll be honest, Hissashi's Backpack was indeed taken by me, just like that kid Mabuchi's reason, I have words I want to say to Hissashi, but there's always a fellow blocking me. I really couldn't find an opportunity, so I took the Backpack, wanting to find an opportunity to say a few words to him when he was looking around the Club, but I didn't expect him to find the Backpack so quickly. I went to the Parking Lot, not because I wanted to drive out to buy things, but I wanted to talk to him before he left. As a result, his Tire was punctured, so I wanted to help him find out who was playing a prank, and then talk about those matters later, but then Toda came again..."
"It's because Coach Toda thought you wanted Brother Ike to participate in Professional Competition and become a Professional Player, that's why he kept stopping you, right?" Conan looked at the Two People Speechless, Guessing that it was also because Makino Yasuhiko had been sarcastic for a long time, making the Two People not communicate properly for a long time, "So Coach Toda said 'Don't have any designs on Hissashi' such words before."
"That's not it," Makino Yasuhiko glanced at Coach Dong Tian Yue, then looked at Chi Feichei again, his gaze and Expression very serious, "I just want to say to you, you are very excellent, there's nothing bad about it, and... I want to explain Coach Toda's idea to you, so that you don't take it to heart."
Conan looked at Chi Feichei again, "Brother Chi knew why Coach Toda said those excessive words back then, right?"
Chi Feichei Nod, "Guess."
The Original Consciousness wasn't stupid either. Not understanding the Parents' Indifference was because of the lack of the Important Clue of 'Genetic Disease', otherwise the Original Consciousness could also deduce the Parents' Idea by Oneself.
After all, he had spent time with Coach Dong Tian Yue, and the Original Consciousness understood Coach Dong Tian Yue's Idea back then. The reason why he didn't come to the Club again was not because of Misunderstanding, but for another reason.
Actually, what Haibara Ai knowledge is right, but also not right.
The Original Consciousness was so desperate back then, not only because someone ridiculed him for not mastering those so-called High Society Things and being like a Wild Child, but also because of Chi Kana.
The Original Consciousness always remembered that before Chi Kana left, she roughly said such words to him: When you were Birth, I signed you up for Eton College for him. Don't be sad, when you turn twelve, you can come to Mother.
Looking back now, that was probably a sentence Chi Kana used to stabilize the Original Consciousness, but the Original Consciousness took it seriously.
When he went to Britain that year, what the Original Consciousness cared about was not only ridicule, but also hearing those people say some admission conditions of Eton College. The desperate study for two or three years after returning was not only to prove oneself, but more reason was to get closer to his Mother, and then, he had to be very excellent, so as not to make Mother lose face.
But the Original Consciousness had never waited for the Notice. When he ran to Britain during the Summer Vacation of his twelfth birthday, he originally wanted to ask Chi Kana if there was any News, but Chi Kana was 'busy' and there was no Opportunity to ask at all.
Moreover, he also found an Invitation to participate in the Academic Exam of Eton College at Chi Kana's Place. The time was a year and a half ago, and about three months ago, there was also a Reply Letter, expressing Regret at Chi Kana's rejection of the Child's admission to Eton.
At that time, the Original Consciousness pretended not to have Discovery, put the Letter back in Place, and carefully covered-up the Trace of Oneself having looked at the Letter. Although he probably didn't understand why he had to cover-up, rather than question with the Letter.
Such a Child who could hold things in, in the end, didn't say to Chi Kana that he knew about these matters, and secretly Comfort Oneself that Eton was nothing good.
Yes, Eton looks glamorous on the surface, but in fact, even if the Original Consciousness only went to Britain for a period of time during occasional holidays, but no matter at the Banquet or somewhere else when waiting for Chi Kana to be busy, he had heard some secret dirty things more or less.
What the Original Consciousness cared about was originally not Eton, but hope to be closer to Mother, but Chi Kana secretly refused, making him realized one point - Eton or any other School, his Mother didn't hope him to be beside her.
So Self-Comfort was ineffective.
After returning, the Original Consciousness threw away all the things he had learned and was learning, including the Piano he had been exposed to since he was a Child. Not only did he no longer come to these Clubs, he even hated it to the point that he didn't want to touch it.
Before he came, he had only participated in the Clay Target Shooting Competition in his High School year, not only because that was a rare matter where classmates took the initiative to find him, but the Original Consciousness also wanted to check, when he touched those things again, could he still re-experience the pain of the long-term Expectation being destroyed and completely shattered into residue.
He went with a Cold Face and returned with a Cold Face, and didn't even go to receive the Award. The Original Consciousness, who looked cool as if nothing had happened, discovered that he would no longer be as sad as he was a few years ago, and he would not care about the Champion or other matters.
But these matters don't need to be mentioned again, the Truth is sometimes not that Important.
If Haibara Ai told Chi Kana, Chi Kana would probably get into a Dead End again.
"But you guys are really amazing," Coach Dong Tian Yue looked at a group of children, and said with emotion, "I didn't expect that the matters of that year would be investigated by you."
"Actually, it's nothing..." Mitsuhiko scratch head smilingly, feeling a little embarrassed.
Genta and Ayumi also felt a little proud in their Hearts, but in the next second, they were made to slump their little Faces by Chi Feichei's Sentence.
"I said they are very energetic," Chi Feichei said aside, "can add Extra Training."
...
'Under Chi Feichei's persecution, we conducted a week of Intensive Training. The persecutor himself didn't even change his Tennis Wear, playing with his Mobile Phone leisurely Day after Day, and by the way, Surveillance. Even Mr. Mabuchi's Invitation to Sparring was rejected.'
'In the end, Coach Dong Tian Yue regained his Self and discovered that he had been fooled and tricked by Chi Feichei, and gave us a Holiday, allowing us to Rest before the Competition...'
A week later, Conan was wearing Beach Pants, lying on a deck chair in a Slacker state, silently monologuing in his Heart.
So, he was able to follow Uncle to participate in Program Filming.
It is said to be a Program of Famous Detective Duel, one side is Tokyo Famous Detective Kogoro Mouri, and the other side is Osaka's famous High School Detective...
"Hey, Kudo," Hattori Heiji leaned in front of the deck chair, mischievously poking Conan's Face with his Finger, and said in a low voice with a smile, "Since you're out to play, be Happy!"
Conan sat up and dodged Hattori Heiji's Hand, "Where did you see that I'm not Happy? Besides, it wasn't you who invited me here. I came with Uncle. Before coming, I didn't know that the other Detective was you."
"You're not angry, are you?" Hattori Heiji said helplessly, "I can't help it, who made you have so many people?"
"The Organizer seemingly said that you can bring people along casually, right?" Conan glanced at Hattori Heiji.
He wasn't too angry, just a bit unable to understand. It would be fine if Hattori Heiji went out to play by Oneself, that was Hattori Heiji's Freedom, but knowing that there was a Case Mystery and participating in a Program Filming Competition with Uncle, he didn't tell him. Hattori Heiji has changed.
"No, I mean you have too many people, it's not fair at all. Think about it, I'm not only competing with Uncle, but also you," Hattori Heiji said, secretly looked at Chi Feichei sitting under the Parasol over there, feeling a little guilty, "Brother Hissashi, you two people will definitely help Uncle cheat, so I didn't tell you, and even requested the Organizer to keep the other Participant being me Confidentiality from Famous Detective Kogoro Mouri first. I was still thinking, If you didn't know I would also come, maybe you wouldn't come."
"Then I'm really sorry, we are just so tactless to follow." Conan said gloatingly.
Hattori Heiji looked at Haibara Ai who came up from swimming, "But speaking of which, that young lady is really energetic."
Conan also looked at Haibara Ai, "Yeah."
What surprised him more was Haibara Ai.
A person who would stay home if she could and doesn't like exercise, this training actually persisted silently, and even did more than them, without a sentence of complaint, and without giving up.
He heard that when Chi Feichei, the persecutor, was invited by Uncle Mori to come over, Ran Mouri also said to him that Haibara Ai would also come, and he thought it was quite unexpected.
He thought Haibara Ai would choose to stay home and be a homebody for a few days, but he didn't expect Haibara Ai to not only agree to come over, but also swim very actively... no, it should be said training.
It was just like Chi Feichei from back then possessed her.
Hattori Heiji was silent for a while, and looked at Conan suspiciously, "I say... your Souls haven't been swapped, have they?"
He thought that young lady should be the one lying on the beach chair to enjoy the coolness, and Kudo was the one who played more happily, and today Kudo's words are a bit sarcastic.
"Your imagination is really rich." Conan returned the words Chi Feichei had said to Hattori Heiji, even learning that Cold Tone perfectly.
Hattori Heiji was immediately stunned, and then reached out and pinched Conan's Face hard.
The touch was real, not a Fake Face.
