"I understand," Sato Miwako stood up and smiled at Mitsui Keiichi's homeroom teacher, "Thank you for causing trouble to you."
"Where?" Mitsui Keiichi's homeroom teacher let go of Mitsui Keiichi's hand, lowered his head and said calmly, "You can go back."
After Mitsui Keiichi left, Mitsui Keiichi's class teacher also said goodbye and left.
Conan and others outside the door saw Chi Feichi and the others coming out and hurriedly stepped forward.
"How is it?" Mitsuhiko asked.
"Has Keiichi seen the face of the murderer?" Genta looked expectant.
Sato Miwako looked embarrassed, "Well..."
Hui Yuan Ai understood immediately, "It seems like there is no gain. Didn't he see the prisoner's face?"
"It should be said that he completely denied it. He said that he stayed at home yesterday, the day before yesterday, and the night before yesterday without going out." Miwako Sato turned to look at Chi Feichi, "Mr. Chi actually said that he might have seen it wrong..."
"Huh?" The five children looked at Chi Feichi in surprise.
Takagi Wataru looked helplessly and glanced at Chi Feichi, inexplicably resentful, "Obviously he nodded to confirm that it was Keiichi's."
Conan suddenly became interested, and his friend suddenly changed his mind. It would definitely not be that simple...
"Height, body shape, his right hand is hidden when he walks with his head down, and the blue-green edge of the white baseball cap matches the letter 'M'. It's him, right." Chi Feichi looked at Sato Miwako and Takagi Wataru, "But
He obviously didn't want to say anything and was a little nervous when he resisted. If I confirmed it was him, would you still ask?"
"Of course I'm trying to persuade him..." Takagi She hesitated and paused, not daring to look at Chi Feichi's too calm gaze.
Sato Miwako was silent for a moment and said seriously, "But Mr. Chi, if Keiichi sees the murderer's face, he may be threatened by the prisoner and change his story, and he may also be in danger!"
Chi Feichi looked at the two of them speechlessly, "You all know this already. If he is still in danger, it would be better to hand in your resignation letter as soon as possible."
Sato Miwako was stunned for a moment, then quickly laughed, "Please! Mr. Chi, don't say that, and if you can be kinder, you will be more popular with girls!"
Conan also smiled, his little friend is really gentle at heart, "That's right, we can protect Keiichi secretly, not only to prevent him from being in danger, but maybe we can also take the opportunity to catch the murderer."
"This is indeed better than using pressure to force Keiichi to speak out," Haibara Ai's eyes were soft and there was a smile on his face. He quickly touched his chin seriously and said, "He seems to be the kind of introverted and timid boy.
, If you knew that the person you met last night might be a bad person, you should feel very safe in front of the police..."
"Have you been threatened by the murderer?" Takagi Wataru guessed.
"He was resisting and nervous, but not afraid," Chi Feichi said.
"The prisoner hasn't threatened him yet?" Conan also thought.
Yuantai guessed, "Is he worried about being retaliated for speaking out?"
"In short, while we are protecting Keiichi, we cannot give up the investigation," Sato Miwako said to Takagi Wataru. "The taxi driver said that the suspicious man covered his left shoulder with his right hand. This is also a clue..."
"Ah!" Mitsuhiko exclaimed in surprise, "Mr. Matsuura we met this morning did something like this!"
Five children from the Junior Detective Corps provided clues.
The man named Matsuura opened a coffee shop called "Olive Tree" in front of Mihua Station. He said that he liked olive trees very much. He lived in the same area as Mitsui Keiichi, and his home was not far from the crime scene.
In the morning, Ayumi took the rest of the Junior Detective Team to see the caterpillars. The four caterpillars happened to be growing on Matsuura's olive tree. At that time, Matsuura covered his left shoulder with his right hand, saying it was because he had frozen shoulder.
"Actually, there is another suspicious person," Conan said directly when he saw Takagi Wataru taking notes, "it's Mr. Yoshikawa, the clerk at the convenience store near the school..."
"Mr. Yoshikawa?" Takagi Wataru was confused.
"Haihara would go to that convenience store to read magazines after school, so I knew him and he rented a house at Mr. Matsuura's house," Conan explained. "When we saw him in the morning, he had just returned from the convenience store. We
He knew that the police had gone to Mr. Shimura's house, and he mentioned it, but on the way back to Mr. Matsuura's house from the convenience store, he would not pass by Mr. Shimura's house at all, which means that he specifically went to Mr. Shimura's house to see it."
Gao Mushe recorded it and guessed, "Could it be that someone on the road heard something happened over there, so I went over to take a look?"
Conan nodded and said no more.
It was possible, but he still felt that Yoshikawa was not without suspicion...
"Anyway, let's ask people to find out about those two people first, and protect Keiichi at the same time," Sato Miwako said to Takagi Wataru, "The murderer may have remembered the looks of our two policemen, so we'd better put on a disguise.
…”
"And we!" Yuantai said quickly.
Mitsuhiko nodded immediately, "Yes, we can also protect Keiichi!"
"Hey, hey," Takagi Sheba waved his hands sweatingly when he saw the three children being so active, "Don't get involved..."
"Don't underestimate us, we are a young detective team," Bumi insisted, "and with Brother Chi's help, there will definitely be no problem."
Takagi Shita: "..."
If Mr. Chi can help...
Sato Miwako: "..."
If the murderer dared to attack Gui, he would definitely be miserable... No, no, Mr. Chi is not a policeman, so why should he help them take the risk?
"I plan to go to the airport to book a ticket to Kyushu." Chi Feichi found a reason to refuse.
"Why?"
The three children of the Young Detective Team were surprised, even Haibara Ai was a little surprised.
Takagi She was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "That's right, I've been bothering you all morning."
"Mr. Chi, if you have anything to do, go ahead and do your work," Miwako Sato said, "Thank you for coming to help!"
Chi Feichi nodded, turned and left.
He remembered this case. The murderer was Yoshikawa, so there was no need to endure it with the elementary school students.
If you have that time, wouldn't it be better to meet up with Gin or go to the training ground to play with guns...
Seeing Chi Feichi leaving without looking back, the three children sighed with regret.
"Brother Chi, aren't you going to help..."
"It doesn't matter, we can do it ourselves!"
"That's right, you can't always rely on Brother Chi!"
"No!" Miwako Sato bent down to look at the three children and said with a straight face, "Just leave this matter to our police!"
Conan took the opportunity to look around, and suddenly found that Hui Yuan Ai was missing, and Ban Yueyan quietly followed him away.
…
Outside the school, as soon as Chi Feichi walked onto the street, Haihara Ai chased after him.
"Are you really not going to take care of it?" Hui Yuan Ai looked up at Chi Feichi, "Can you deny that it was him you saw for the sake of that child? If you continue to help, he and everyone will be safer, right?
?”
"Officer Sato and the others underestimated the seriousness of the matter," Chi Feichi continued to walk forward, "The child is introverted and sensitive. If he saw the murderer but did not tell him, he would hate himself for being cowardly or selfish, and he would be guilty.
Feeling that if you are exposed on the spot as lying, you will not only be embarrassed, but also feel despicable. Once you are forced to say it out, you will be relieved and hate your own cowardice even more. Self-denial is a
It’s a strange circle, and it’s the same as being depressed. Sometimes if you fall into it, it will be difficult to get out..."
Haiyuan Ai followed Chi Feichi and was surprised that Chi Feichi thought so much. She and everyone thought that Chi Feichi just didn't want to see Keiyi being questioned. But after thinking about it carefully, Chi Feichi made sense.
It's really possible that things could be this serious.
"If I had insisted that I saw him at that time, maybe he would have been ruined for the rest of his life," Chi Feichi walked and whispered, "Although it is only a possibility, it is only a matter of one sentence for me to say that I was wrong.
It would be better to cut off that possibility directly."
Haiyuan Ai followed, but decided to tell the truth directly, turning to look at Chi Feichi, "The child's mother passed away half a year ago, it's because you understand better how uneasy the child will feel when his mother is not around, and it is not a short-term separation, right?
?”
Chi Feichi paused and turned to look at Hui Yuan Ai.
He didn't think much about it just now. After all, it was just a matter of words. He might think about the child on a whim. The child was quite cute.
Hearing what Haihara Ai said, he saw Mitsui Keiichi's introverted look at that time, hiding his nervousness, as if he was thinking of the original consciousness.
During the period from half a year to a year after his parents left, the original consciousness seemed less timid than Mitsui Keiichi, but deep down in his heart there should be a figure that was exactly the same as the original consciousness.
Every time he faces the outside world and faces changes he has never seen before, that figure is the same as Mitsui Keiichi at that time, clenching his hands, suppressing the panic and anxiety in his heart, feeling helpless, but having to deal with it bravely.
Probably because of this, he wanted to take more care of Mitsui Keiichi.
Hui Yuan Ai was nervous, but did not avoid Chi Feichi's gaze, staring at Chi Feichi seriously and stubbornly.
Soon, Chi Feichi glanced at Hui Yuan Ai and looked at the alley behind him, "How long do you plan to follow?"
Hui Yuan Ai immediately turned around and looked.
Conan walked out and said with an embarrassed look, "Sorry, I didn't eavesdrop on purpose. I just saw Haiyuan following him secretly, so I wanted to follow him and have a look..."
From another alley, Mitsui Keiichi timidly walked out with his head lowered, "I, I didn't eavesdrop on purpose."
Conan looked at Mitsui Keiichi: "?"
So it turned out that he was not the only one following?
Hui Yuan Ai sighed silently, "It seems that relying on them for protection is not very reliable."
The protection targets followed them out quietly, but the protection team didn't notice?
Chi Fei didn't look at the two people who followed him, and said sadly to Haiyuan, "That's right."
Haiyuan Ai didn't react for a moment and was a little confused, "That's right?"
"The answer to the question you just asked." Chi Feichi explained.
Haiyuan Ai looked at Chi Feichi's calm face and felt that his brain was even more confused.
Brother Fei Chi turned away and back again very quickly and abruptly, but that's not the point.
The point is, Brother Fei Chi actually admitted it?
She thought that Brother Fei Chi wouldn't admit it, and even if he admitted it, he would show a sad and emotional look, and tell her his feelings seriously, but Brother Fei Chi actually admitted it so calmly?
She felt it was so unreal.
Could it be said that Brother Fei Chi really doesn’t care anymore?
Conan thought for a moment and felt that it was not surprising that Chi Feichi was calm. A child would be uneasy away from his mother, so there was nothing strange about it. He followed behind just now and thought it was a big secret, which seemed a bit pretentious, "Keiichi, why are you following me?"
Already?"
Haibara Ai:"……"
Is Edogawa unable to empathize with him, or is he affected by Fei Chi's overly calm and free-spirited appearance?
No, wait, isn't it her who is abnormal? In fact, she has been too sentimental recently?
