"Of course," Ayumi sighed with drooping eyebrows, "Originally we planned to invite Doctor and Brother Chi to watch the game together tomorrow, but it ended up like this."
An idea flashed in Conan's mind, and he confirmed to Haibara Ai, "You don't seem to be very enthusiastic about these competitions. Could it be that the reason why you have been so worried all day is... Brother Chi already knows that the Bihu players will not play?
What happened?"
Hui Yuan Ai nodded and walked under the overpass, feeling that there was no need to hide anything from the four people, and said frankly, "Yes, after the physical education class, I called Brother Fei Chi and asked about the fact that the contestants would not be on the field.
From what he said, he seemed to have driven to Shizuoka alone in the morning..."
Let's analyze it. Fei Chi likes bigo players. On the eve of the finals when bigo players couldn't play, he drove to Shizuoka alone. It seemed that he didn't want to go back to Tokyo for the past two days. Even Nanatsuki-san was injured and didn't want to come back. This
How big a blow did you bear?
When I think about it again, Brother Chi's words, "How do I know what's going on with him?" make me feel like I'm complaining.
Her brother was really miserable, so how could she feel better?
After hearing what Haiyuan Ai said, Bumi thought about how Chi Feichi was so shocked that he ran out to heal his wounds alone. Affected by Haiyuan Ai's emotions, her eyes became red, "Brother Chi is so pitiful."
Conan wanted to say that he felt that the word 'poor' didn't fit Chi Feichi very well, but after thinking about it he gave up, "It's rare for him to be interested in anything, but when it comes to this kind of thing..."
"well……"
The three children sighed in unison.
Conan hurriedly waved his hand to persuade, "Okay, there's nothing we can do about it. There will be many competitions for competition contestants in the future. We can ask him to go there then."
Yuantai looked up at the sky with a look of despair on his face, "I have to go to see the cavities tomorrow. It hurts just thinking about it. Tomorrow is really a bad day..."
"Oh my, these words are not suitable for children to say!"
A man's smiling voice came from the side.
On the way home from school, the Junior Detective Team met an old man who seemed full of hope for tomorrow. After helping him pick up lottery tickets that were almost blown away by the wind, they had an afternoon snack.
The three children were affected by each other's energetic spirit, and their moods improved. They laughed and ate a meal, and chatted with each other when they parted.
"Ah... that's right," Mitsuhiko suddenly stopped not long after leaving the store and suggested with bright eyes, "I'm so good at comforting people and full of hope for life. Why don't you tell him about Brother Chi?
, let him talk to Brother Chi, what do you think? Maybe Brother Chi will feel better after talking to him! "
"Yes, I feel like tomorrow will be great right now!"
"Let's go find him quickly before he goes far..."
Conan, who had been frowning in thought, came back to his senses and interrupted the three children's cheerful discussion with a serious expression, "It is indeed necessary for us to follow the old man, but not so that he can comfort Brother Fei Chi."
At night, on the platform of Mihua Station.
The elderly man looked down at the photo in his hand, without the hopeful smile on his face. He did not notice the five children following him. After hearing the sound of the train entering the station, there were tears in the corners of his eyes. , sadly and decisively stepping towards the edge of the platform.
This step towards death was stopped by Conan's voice.
As the train passed the platform, Conan and the three children each expressed their reasoning in one sentence.
The man kept saying that he was full of hope for tomorrow and made a full schedule for tomorrow. However, he said that he was going to Osaka to watch the game, but he didn't even know that Bihu and Hero would be playing. He said that he would go back to Tokyo to drink with friends an hour after watching the game. But I didn’t want to think about how I could get back to Tokyo from Osaka in an hour. Even the lottery tickets were almost blown away by the wind, but after being picked up by the children with help, they were put into the bag without counting. No matter how I thought about it, I didn’t care at all. What will happen tomorrow?
Conan even deduced that the man bought himself a high insurance policy because his granddaughter was sick and needed a lot of medical expenses, so he prepared to commit suicide by jumping off the rails. Afterwards, the police found things like game tickets and the children in the man's bag. The testimony confirms that the man is full of hope for tomorrow, and there will be no suspicion that the man committed suicide. If the case is settled as "accidentally falling off the platform," he will be able to receive a high insurance premium.
When the man saw that his idea was exposed, he said that he had won a 100 million yuan jackpot before, but the lottery ticket was lost. Because he felt guilty and sorry for his little granddaughter who was hospitalized and still had a lot of medical expenses, he thought of committing suicide to defraud the insurance.
With Conan's help, the man found the lottery ticket from his glasses case, and his heart was instantly relieved.
"Oh, I wanted to go there and rob a bank," the man said with a smile, "It's a good thing I didn't!"
Conan: "..."
Hey hey, this kind of thinking is even more wrong...
"However, you must not do bad things!" The man smiled and bent down to rub Conan's hair. After leaving, he waved with a smile and said, "Thank you very much, everyone from the Young Detective Team!"
"He is such a carefree guy..." Yuantai looked at the man's cheerful back and complained in a low voice, "If only Brother Chi's troubles could be solved so easily."
"It's not that simple. The inability of the competition players to play is something that cannot be changed."
Conan smiled helplessly and began to think about Chi Feichi's problem.
When he saw someone who was planning to commit suicide, he remembered how serious Chi Feichi's condition was.
The reason why the contestants couldn't play was secondary. He thought about it just now and felt that Chi Feichi's disinterest in many things was really dangerous.
Haiyuan Ai looked at the man's back and thought of the same point. He said softly, "I'm a little worried that Brother Fei Chi will be affected by the bad mood and his depression will relapse."
"Let's give him a call later," Conan also felt that we should pay attention to this issue, comforted Haibara Ai, and gave some advice, "When I first got to know him, he didn't seem to care about other people and other things at all. Doesn't he also pay attention to the people and things around him now? In fact, he is much better. I can also feel that maybe he just wants to find a place to relax. Of course, when you call, it is best to pay attention to his emotions. …”
Haihara Ai looked at Conan speechlessly and reminded, "It may not be easy."
Want to test Brother Fei Chi's mood? She found it difficult.
Conan choked, "Well, then at least ask him where he is and when he plans to come back. We don't have to go to school tomorrow. If that doesn't work, we can go to Shizuoka to look for him together..."
Next to them, three children didn't think too deeply and gathered together to talk about another thing.
"Speaking of bank robbery, do you still remember the last incident?"
"You are talking about the Imperial Capital Bank, of course. Of course you remember that strange big brother disappeared under everyone's gaze..."
"Yes, and that big brother's voice is so strange..."
Hearing the three children mention this matter, Conan and Haihara Ai subconsciously stopped talking and turned to look at the three children.
Raki…
"But he is really smart," Ayumi said with a smile. "He immediately saw through the kidnapper's purpose. I feel he is better than Conan and Hattori brother!"
Conan: "..."
Not only was he deeply shocked, but he was also very depressed.
Mitsuhiko touched his chin, "I wonder how it compares to Brother Chi..."
Haibara Ai:"……"
No, she didn't want Brother Chi to meet that dangerous guy at all!
"Could he be a magician?" Yuantai guessed with interest, but then quickly denied, "No, it's even more magical than a magician!"
"Okay, okay, I don't want to talk about him," Mitsuhiko said seriously when he saw that the topic was going off track, "Although he is indeed a very special person, what I want to say is that I seemed to see an acquaintance that day, the bus
During the robbery, the man wearing a black knitted hat and a mask and sitting in the last row..."
Conan recalled that it should be Akai Shuichi, and couldn't help but be startled.
"During the bus robbery, he also used Morse code to communicate with Brother Chi and me. When I saw him at the bank that day, he seemed to have been seriously injured, with big burn scars on his face," Mitsuhiko didn't notice.
Conan's face turned ugly for a moment, and he sighed, "I originally wanted to go up and say hello to him and ask what happened to him, but unfortunately there were too many people at the time, and I never found him again..."
…
Late, nine o'clock.
"The number you dialed..."
Hui Yuan Ai frowned when he heard the 'power off' sound on his phone, hesitating whether to continue calling.
Brother Fei Chi's cell phone was turned off. Maybe he was in a bad mood today and forgot to charge it, but...
After hesitating for a while, Haibara Ai decided to call and ask Nanatsuki Koshizui. She learned that Chi Feichi had chatted with Nanatsuki Koshizui on the UL chat software in the afternoon, and she was sure that there was nothing wrong with Chi Feichi's mood. She also knew how to ask
After their situation, I finally felt a little more relieved.
When Conan saw that everything was alright, he said hello to the doctor and said goodbye. After going out, he met Subaru Okiya who was waiting in the shadow of the Kudo mansion next door and whispered in a low voice.
Subaru Okiya listened to Conan briefly talk about meeting Akai with the burn scar. He touched his chin and thought, and he was still in the mood to joke, "I'm sure I don't have sleepwalking or split personality."
Split personality...
Speaking of this, Conan looked at Okiya Subaru with exploration and suspicion, "You know that Brother Chi was admitted to Qingshan Fourth Hospital? He did it because he couldn't remember what he did before when his personality alternated, and
His condition was discovered by his teachers and classmates only after he showed abnormal habits and behaviors. Before that, he probably didn't realize that he had dissociation. By the time he discovered it, it was not the first time it had appeared."
Subaru Okiya's mouth twitched slightly, he raised his hand helplessly to push up his glasses, and assured in a low voice, "I can confirm that I am in good condition recently, and I have not suddenly forgotten a certain memory or appeared in a strange place without my knowledge.
It's a local matter, and don't forget, looks can be stolen, and the person in the organization has this method."
Conan nodded, "I have doubted her before, but..."
"That person seems to appear beside Judy from time to time on purpose," Okiya Subaru paused, "I noticed something was wrong with Judy before. She seemed to be looking for someone in the crowd, and her recent whereabouts were also very strange. I
I think she should have seen it too."
"A test by those guys?" Conan frowned slightly, "Raki was also there during the bank robbery that day, but Raki probably went to the bank to get something..."
Okiya Subaru whispered, "What is their purpose, we will know sooner or later."
Conan breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that he had to go back to the Mori Detective Agency, and it was inconvenient to talk to Subaru Okiya, so he decided to end the topic, but after turning to leave, he couldn't help but add, "If you feel that you are not in a good state,
Please also take a rest and come to me if you need anything."
Okiya Subaru: "..."
How do you want him to explain?
He is really sure that he does not have a split personality. (To be continued.)
