That night, Dr. Ali stayed in the small room repairing the hot spring dolls. He also had dinner in the room and worked after dinner. He was so focused that even the three children were embarrassed to disturb him.
Chi Feichi took five real and fake primary school students to play 'playing cards'. The five little guys were lying on the ground stacking tall pyramids, and he was shuffling, cutting, and changing cards with a deck of playing cards next to him, silently.
Exercise your hand speed.
It's not difficult to take care of children.
Mitsuhiko stared at Genta's hand placing the cards on the tower, and said in a very soft voice, "Genta, please be gentle."
Yuantai held his breath and put the cards up gently and steadily, but still let the top of the card tower shake slightly.
Five pairs of eyes stared at the card tower, and they quietly breathed a sigh of relief until the card tower stabilized.
"Boom!"
"Guest, I'll collect the dishes," the voice of the hotel owner came from outside the door, "I've brought you the wine and drinks you asked for."
When Genta turned his head, the corner of his yukata rubbed against the edge of the card tower.
"Ah..." Ayumi stared blankly as the card tower scattered all over the floor.
Conan lowered his head and sighed.
Ruined... Hey, wait, why did he play such a childish game with elementary school students for so long?
Yes, if he wasn't worried about the three children playing loudly and disturbing the doctor, he wouldn't play this kind of game with him.
"It's already great. Let's take a break and let's have something to drink." Chi Feichi put a deck of playing cards on the table, picked up the dinner plate that was placed aside, opened the door and exchanged things with the boss.
The five children were still sitting on the floor, turning to look at the door.
"Did I hear you correctly?" Guangyan stared blankly at Chi Feichi's back and murmured softly, "Brother Chi just said..."
"Already great?" Yuantai's expression was also a little dull.
"Although there is absolutely no exaggeration on his face," Haihara Ai said speechlessly, "but let's just assume that he is sincerely complimenting me."
"But I'm really tired." Ayumi stretched, looked at the half-open door of the small bedroom, and said softly, "The doctor is still busy."
Chi Feichi closed the door, came back with a tray of drinks and wine, put it on the table, went to close the bedroom door, then returned to the table and sat down, "The boss said, if all the hotel staff have taken a break, we would like to drink
You can buy drinks from the vending machines on the first floor.”
Haihara Ai looked at the ice hockey cup on the tray and the unopened bottle of Scotch whiskey, then reached for a bottle of juice, "Do you still want to drink at this late hour? Although drinking can temporarily suppress the activity of the central brain system and make people fall asleep faster.
, but sleep after drinking is different from normal sleep. The brain cannot rest after drinking, and will even be more active than when not sleeping. Long-term use of drinking to promote sleep will cause insomnia."
"Although alcohol has a sedative and hypnotic effect, the sedative effect will disappear after three or four hours," Conan said, "When the sympathetic nerves are excited, it will be easy to wake up, and it may also cause alcohol poisoning and psychosis.
, gastrointestinal function..."
"Teacher Maoli sleeps every time after drinking, and he is still alive and well," Chi Feichi interrupted the two of them, opened the bottle and poured wine into the glasses, "Except for the signs of multiple personalities."
Conan: "..."
"I just drink a little bit, not too much." Chi Feichi added.
Seeing that Chi Feichi had poured the wine, Haiyuan Ai didn't stop him, but he still couldn't help but ask, "Brother Feichi, have you had a good rest recently? Do you have any difficulty falling asleep before going to bed?"
"No……"
"Buzz...buzz..."
Noticing that the phone in his pocket was vibrating, Chi Feichi took out his phone and took a look at it, then turned and walked out the door, "Sorry, I'm going to answer a call. If you want to watch TV, you can turn it on yourself. Remember to turn down the volume."
Yuantai suggested, "Then let's watch the Masked Superman quiz show?"
Conan: "..."
Can he refuse? He would rather watch a mystery TV series.
…
Outside the door, Chi Feichi closed the door, answered the phone, and walked to the end of the corridor, "Hello?"
On the other end of the phone, Ginjiu was used to Chi Feichi calling without using a code name, so he got straight to the point, "It's me, have you seen today's noon news?"
"No, I traveled to Hakone and just arrived at the hotel at noon." Chi Fei arrived late and turned his back to the window so that he could see the stairs and corridors. "What happened?"
"Today's noon news reported that around nine o'clock last night, a publishing editor was killed at his home in Cupido Town. The police found a pre-death message at the scene," Gin said in a deep voice, "The one who was killed
The man seemed to have written 'KIRA' in blood on the ground. No photos of the scene were released in the report. It is not yet sure whether it is in English or Katakana, and the arrangement is not sure..."
Chi Feichi reminded silently, "At nine o'clock last night, I was on the road selling medicine, not in Abeido Town."
If it is English KIRA, then after the perversion and reorganization, it can indeed become 'RAKI', but he did not have time to commit the crime last night, so no matter how you think about it, it cannot be referring to him.
Feichi, who eavesdropped on the phone: "..."
Yes, they went to sell medicine last night.
"Yes, it is indeed impossible for you to go there to kill people, and that person is not the target of the organization, and no one from the organization attacked him. If you hadn't had time to return to Abeido Town last night, I would have suspected that you were sick again.
You have to inform that person to find someone to help you deal with the aftermath," Gin complained unceremoniously before continuing, "But that man has dealings with your THK company, and he seems to be still in charge of receiving script drafts in your company.
Editor, I want to confirm with you whether he had any other intentions when he left that kind of pre-death message?"
"I don't think anyone can discover this," Chi Feichi paused, "What's his name?"
Gin was silent for a moment, "Wait a moment..."
Chi Feichi: "..."
It was impossible to turn over the memo, so he estimated that Gin would choose to ask about vodka.
If vodka is on the side...
Vodka's uncertain voice came vaguely, "It seems to be called Zenan..."
"Anyway, Tokyo Nippon TV's evening news should be replayed. The news is being broadcast now. If you can watch TV, you can watch it by yourself. If you can't watch TV, I'll wait until you return to Tokyo," Gin said, "After you confirm
Until there is no problem, someone will help keep an eye on the progress of the police investigation."
"Well, let me read the reports first and then talk."
After hanging up the phone, Chi Feichi put away his phone and returned to the room.
Zenan? It seems like he really is someone he knows...
In the room, three children were eating snacks, drinking drinks, and watching the Masked Superman quiz show with great interest.
Conan felt bored and kept revealing the answers. When he heard the three children complaining helplessly, he suddenly felt Chi Feichi's bad taste every time he told the answer.
Hui Yuan Ai sat bored and drank juice. When he heard the door open, he raised his eyes to look at Chi Feichi who came in.
Chi Feichi returned to the table and sat down, reaching for the remote control on the table, "Sorry, I'll watch the evening news."
"Huh?" Bumi looked at Chi Feichi in surprise, but she didn't feel resentful.
Guangyan and Yuantai looked at Chi Feichi's calm but serious face, swallowed their questions, and sat aside obediently, waiting for Chi Feichi to change the channel.
"Last night around nine o'clock, a home invasion and murder occurred in Aipido Town. The deceased was the well-known publishing editor Yuki Sawana..."
The female host's voice soon came from the TV.
What followed the sound was a police car and a residential building cordoned off by cordon tape. However, the camera was only shot outside and did not get close to the scene.
"According to our understanding, the cause of death of the victim Zenan Youhui was that he was stabbed to death with a sharp knife at home. Specifically, whether he was killed with one knife or stabbed several times, we have not yet received exact information from the police..."
When Conan saw the exterior scene of a single-family building on the TV, he couldn't help but look sideways at Chi Feichi.
His little friend went out to answer a phone call, and then came back to watch the evening news report. While watching TV, his face was calm and a little gloomy...
The editor of a publishing house who lives in Cupido Town? Is he someone his friends know?
"Is he someone you know?" Hui Yuan Ai turned his head and asked Chi Feichi in a low voice.
Chi Fei slowly softened his stiff expression and nodded towards Hui Yuan Ai.
During the show, the camera cut back to the studio, where two hosts, a man and a woman, began to interact and talk.
"I heard that Mr. Zenan has recently joined THK, the most influential entertainment company in Japan, as one of the editors of an upcoming film and television series. It should be a project that THK has been preparing for a long time, and the body was first discovered.
The person is Ms. Utakura Akiko, a trainee who has just signed a contract with THK Company, and is about to debut as a model. After this case, Ms. Utakura's blog and THK Company's announcement stated that Ms. Utakura was frightened and planned to postpone it.
The female host turned to look at the male host and asked, "Is this case an action against THK?"
"I think the possibility is very low," the male host analyzed. "Although Mr. Zenan is the editor of THK's new series of film and television dramas, he is only one of them. His death will only delay the progress of some matters of THK.
, it will not cause too much damage. If there are no subsequent attacks on THK staff, then I am more inclined to judge that this is a case of home invasion, vendetta, etc. Of course, it is also possible before the police announce more information.
It is other circumstances. I heard that there was a 'KIRA' message left in blood at the scene. It is not clear whether it was a pre-death message or the murderer's provocation to the police. We should wait for the police to announce the new investigation situation...
…”
"Okay, let's continue with the next news. Dongying Subway Line 15 is about to open..."
Chi Feichi didn't look any further, put down the remote control, took out his cell phone, stood up, dialed the number, and walked out the door.
In the room, the three children looked at each other and sneaked behind the door.
Conan and Haiyuan Ai hesitated for a moment, and then they also put their ears to the wooden door and eavesdropped with the three children.
The soundproofing of the Japanese-style wooden door is not very good, but you can't hear the voice on the other end of the phone. You can only hear Chi Fei calling "Minye" after a moment of silence.
Outside the door, Chi Feichi did not go to the corridor. He leaned against the wall and faced the wooden door. He stared at the five shadows on the wooden door paper and listened to Odagiri Toshiya's pretending to be relaxed on the phone.
Voice.
"Fei Chi? Why did you call me suddenly?" Odagiri asked with a smile, "Do you want to go out for a drink with me? But I remember you said that you would go out to the hot springs with the little devils recently, so you shouldn't have
In Tokyo, right?”
"I saw the evening news report on Mr. Zenan's matter," Chi Feichi asked straight to the point, "What's the situation like?"
