"Yes," Conan whispered, "I just went to his residence. It seems that he has not been back for a long time. Only his roommate who rented with him was there. I heard from the other party that Mr. Mizutani and Mr. Mizutani died in the fire.
My dear Miss Nanako, she likes to look at the stars."
"Have you been there?" Hui Yuan'ai frowned, "That means..."
"If the police went to Mr. Mizutani's residence after me, they might hear from his roommate that there was a little boy who went there earlier than them and asked similar questions, right? In that case, he would pretend to be someone
Ireland, a policeman, will be more suspicious of me," Conan sighed helplessly, "But there is no other way, I have to find out the truth of the matter faster than the police."
Hui Yuan Ai was silent for a moment, "Hey, I said..."
"Don't worry," Conan laughed quickly. "When I went over, I told the other party that it was the famous detective Mouri Kogoro who asked me to investigate. I also asked the other party not to tell others, even if he faced the police, he might
But I think he would also have the idea that "the famous detective Kogoro Mori is investigating this matter, there can be no malicious intent," and he felt there was no need to tell the police..."
…
In the living room.
Chi Feichi simmered the pumpkin porridge, cut some ginger slices and added brown sugar to cook, then turned on the faucet and washed his hands, "The water is more watery, the porridge needs to simmer for a while, and the egg custard needs to be simmered for ten minutes."
Koshimi Nanatsuki added salt to the egg custard, raised his head and said, "Ah, okay."
"I really caused trouble to you." Dr. Ali sighed with emotion.
"It's okay. I'm Xiao Ai's brother. It's my duty to take care of her."
Chi Feichi lowered his eyes and wiped his hands with a towel, raised his head and smiled lightly at Dr. A Li, put down the towel and walked to Haibara Ai's room.
Dr. A Li was surprised that Chi Fei Chi smiled softly, and froze on the spot. When Chi Fei arrived at the door of the room late, he came to his senses and quickly followed him, "Fei Chi..."
Chi Feichi opened the door softly and saw the bulging bag under the quilt on the bed. He walked to the bed and called out calmly, "Xiao Ai."
Under the quilt, over the phone in Haiyuan Ai's hand, Conan still whispered in a serious tone, "Anyway, I'm going to Miss Benshang's brother now..."
Facing the wall, Hui Yuan Ai was lying on her side on the bed. She was startled when she heard a cool, familiar male voice coming from the bedside behind her. She froze on the bed with her phone in her right hand.
Σ
Why did Brother Fei Chi come in? When did he come in?
"Fei, Fei Chi..." Dr. Ali quickly followed to the door and saw Chi Fei Chi standing by the bed, staring down at the bulging ball in the quilt. Cold sweat broke out on his forehead, because Chi Fei Chi's expression remained the same.
Calm was not sure whether Chi Feichi had discovered anything, so he hesitated for a moment and decided to continue playing innocent, "Breakfast is not ready yet, why are you..."
On the other side of the phone, Conan also noticed something was wrong and remained silent decisively.
"It's nothing," Chi Feichi sat down by the bed, "You don't have to watch the porridge all the time. I'll talk to Xiao Ai."
Dr. Ali breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile, "So that's it."
"Xiao Ai," Chi Fei belatedly saw that Hui Yuan Ai was still hiding under the quilt. He reached out and patted the quilt, his voice was soft and calm, "Don't you have anything to say to your brother?"
It was obviously the same as usual, even with a hint of gentleness in his voice, but when Dr. Ali listened, the hairs all over his body stood up in an instant, and his relaxed expression froze on his face.
It seems...no, something is very wrong!
Koshizui Nanatsuki, who followed him to the door, also felt his scalp numb, and quietly looked at Chi Feichi's calm side face with his eyes lowered as he stared at the bed.
Brother Xiao Qi seems to have suddenly broken down.
Under the covers, the weird and terrifying feeling in Hui Yuan Ai's heart became even stronger. His finger paused while pressing the hang-up button on his phone, and countless similar thoughts flashed through his mind.
She is finished...
She is dead...
On the other side of the phone, Conan also remained silent.
It’s over, has Haiyuan been discovered?
Should he hang up the phone now, or not?
If he didn't hang up, he might be directly caught by Chi Feichi with "irrefutable evidence". Hang up the phone. He felt that the atmosphere on the other side of the phone was very wrong. It didn't seem good for him, the instigator, to leave Haiyuan and the doctor to face him.
.
Chi Feichi had no intention of lifting the quilt from his sister. He just sat on the edge of the bed, looking down at the bulging quilt, and waited patiently.
Before coming to the doctor's house, he had some doubts. After all, there was no plot about Haihara Ai catching a cold in the original plot, but there was no certainty about catching a cold, and he couldn't be sure whether it would happen.
It wasn't until he arrived at the doctor's house that he found the stuffed bears placed in the corner next to the piano. There were indentations on one big bear and strangulation marks on the other, and he was convinced that the doctor had been lying.
The fur of this kind of stuffed bear is dense and soft. It will leave some traces if you lean against it or hold it. It can recover in about ten minutes if left alone. However, Hui Yuan Ai has the habit of holding the little bear in the arms of the big bear. When he did this in the past
, the traces left are similar to those on today’s doll bears.
Judging from the depth of the marks on the big stuffed bear, Haihara Ai stayed close to it for at least twenty minutes.
As for Koshimizu, who came from Cupido Town, he was not much closer than him, and at most he was a minute or two earlier than him.
In other words, the doctor called him and kept saying, "Xiao Ai doesn't want to get up," and "Xiao Ai has been lying in bed." In fact, when he called, Haiyuan Ai was next to the landline, probably on the sofa.
Holding the little bear and leaning against the big bear, he watched Dr. Ali call him.
The doctor was lying, Haihara Ai didn't lie down and refused to get up at all, and the two of them colluded in the lie.
He had seen Haiyuan Ai's condition and found that he had indeed caught a cold.
It’s not strange for a little girl to suddenly want her brother to accompany her when she catches a cold. But if she knew that her brother had recently been invited by the police to investigate a series of murders, any sensible little girl would consider whether her brother would break his trust with the police.
Not so good?
Huihara Ai will not act willfully without consideration.
Then think about it on the other hand, Dr. Ari and Haibara Ai colluded to lie in order to get him to come over, probably because they didn't want him to go to the Metropolitan Police.
Who does this benefit? Conan.
Conan should really want to find the murderer before the police. If he can get the memory card or seize the clues of the organization, it will be a big gain. Even if it doesn't work, the detective will work hard for the safety of the replaced policeman.
investigation.
Delaying him so that he could no longer provide the police with ideas was probably a last resort decision.
And Conan can also make Dr. Ari and Haibara Ai collude to lie.
He didn't care about this. His sister was sick and pretended to be a willful little girl. He pretended not to know and cooperated. When he left the room, he revealed the progress of the police investigation to Haiyuan Ai and asked Haiyuan to
Please give Conan a heads up.
However, he had new suspicions that Haihara Ai's illness was a random event, or was he deliberately making himself sick in order to delay him?
When cold evil enters the body, simply speaking, it means catching a cold.
Now that the weather is getting warmer, even if you kick under the quilt at night and wear thin clothes, you will not catch a cold. If you want to catch a cold, the only way is to shower in cold water, soak in cold water, wash your hair in cold water without blow-drying, etc.
So, after he left the room, he went to the bathroom and took a look at the bathroom.
Haibara Ai and Dr. Ali have separate toiletries, including shower gel. Haibara Ai's ones are more geared towards girls, and Dr. Ai is not used to that kind of fragrance.
He had previously helped Haihara Ai go to the storage room to get the shower gel. Judging from the recent weather, Haihara Ai's bathing frequency, shower gel consumption pattern, and the amount of shower gel left, Haihara Ai should not have taken a shower yesterday.
However, after using the shampoo, Haihara Ai's bath towel and the towel used to wipe her hair that were hung on the shelf were still wet. Moreover, the shower drain was dry, and there were some fresh water stains next to the bathtub.
.
Well, that is to say, his sister washed her hair and took a bath yesterday, but she did not use any shower gel or bath soap. She soaked in water, which was against her usual bathing habit. It is necessary to suspect that she deliberately took a cold bath because of a cold.
…
After he left the bathroom, he made another discovery.
There was no trace of water being filled in the cup in the cupboard this morning. There was no sign of the cup on the kitchen table. There was no sign of the water cup on the living room table. The kettle that Haihara Ai brought to school must have been washed and hung out last night. It was also dry inside.
Unlike the water filled in the morning, there are no water stains nearby.
He has even considered the possibility of "drinking medicine with water from a bowl". Although there is a cup and water at home, it is impossible for Dr. Ali to watch Haihara Ai swallow the medicine directly or take the granules dry.
It couldn't be that self-abuse. Haiyuan Ai had a cup that he didn't use, and the possibility of using a bowl to fill water and take medicine was very slim, but he still paid attention to the bowl at the doctor's house.
Likewise, except for a plate with fried fish balls, none of the dishes showed signs of being used this morning.
Very good, even saying 'I have taken medicine' is false.
In order to help a famous detective hold off his brother, he took a cold bath to let himself catch a cold. He refused to take medicine when he caught a cold, and even lied to his brother that he had already taken medicine. It was really good.
…
There was silence in the room for a while. After Hui Yuan Ai came to his senses, he hung up the phone, poked his head out of the quilt, only his eyes were exposed, and looked up at Chi Feichi, who was looking at her expressionlessly, his face a little stiff.
She is finished...
She is dead...
"Fei Chi..." After Dr. Ali came to his senses, he walked through the door and walked to the bed, a little at a loss.
He felt that Fei Chi must have discovered something, but he was not sure how much Fei Chi had discovered, and he didn't know if Fei Chi had been stimulated for any reason. He didn't know if Fei Chi would do anything dangerous after being stimulated...
…
Alas, my claws are numb, it’s really hard for Shinichi to help.
"What's going on?" Koshimizu Nanatsuki also followed the door, pretending to be slow and calm the atmosphere, and changed the subject by the way, "Even if you don't need to watch the porridge, you have to be careful whether the heat will be too high, which will damage the rice.
Or is the pumpkin stuck to the bottom of the pot? I think..."
"I never fail to control the heat when cooking porridge." Chi Feichi declared.
Koshizu Nanatsuki: "..."
This strong self-confidence actually feels... inexplicably arrogant?
After Chi Feichi finished speaking, he looked at Hui Yuan Ai and asked, "How can you not take medicine when you have a cold?"
"I..." Hui Yuarai hesitated.
Is Brother Fei Chi angry because she didn't take her medicine?
Then she said it was because there was no more cold medicine... No, no, absolutely not. When Brother Fei Chi went through the medicine box, she was really doomed. She didn't think that the doctor could secretly take the cold medicine under Brother Fei Chi's nose.
Walk.
Chi Feichi looked at Dr. Ali who was standing by the bed again, "Doctor, you also help her lie."
Dr. A Li sweated and scratched his head with a dry smile, "It was a little too early when I got up in the morning. Xiao Ai said she would eat later, and I didn't want you to worry, so...that's why I said..."
"Forget it," Chi Feichi looked at Huiyuan and said sadly, "It doesn't matter if you don't want to take medicine. I'll have a bowl of ginger soup later."
"good……"
Hui Yuan Ai nodded immediately. After Chi Feichi got up and walked out, he felt relieved and looked at Dr. A Li.
╥﹏╥
It was too difficult to deceive Brother Fei Chi, and it was too difficult for her.
Dr. A Li also had deep helplessness and fear in his eyes.
╥﹏╥
It was too difficult to deceive Fei Chi, it was too difficult for him.
The round he just made was definitely the fastest reaction and the fastest thinking he had ever done besides researching and inventing.
