After Yuantai came to his senses, he screamed and pointed at the unconscious Director Suzuki, "He... wasn't he killed yesterday?"
Ayumi and Mitsuhiko also looked at the burial place with horrified faces.
The body was not buried deeply, and Chi Feichi's hands had been dug out.
Under the dim light, the pale and slightly purple back of the hand stood out among the black mud.
"There is a Suzuki director here..." Ayumi said tremblingly.
Mitsuhiko turned to look at the unconscious man at the foot of the tree, "Well, there is also a Suzuki director there..."
"You made a mistake," Conan said, feeling goosebumps all over because of the supernatural atmosphere created by the three people. When he saw Chi Feichi, he continued to dig up the corpse as if nothing had happened and took over the job of explaining, "The person who was killed yesterday was actually Kurata.
The president, not Director Suzuki, the ashtray in that truck was filled with cigarette butts, and those cigarette butts were the same as the cigarette butts that Director Suzuki put out in that photo.”
Chi Feichi knelt down, peeled off the soil from the head of the corpse, and pushed aside the cloth covering the corpse.
Genta, Ayumi, and Mitsuhiko were relieved when they saw that the body was President Kurata.
"So this is ah……"
"Woo——"
A siren sounded nearby, and a few minutes later, Megure Thirteen brought someone over, woke up the unconscious Suzuki director, and took him into a police car.
The work of completely exhuming the body was also taken over by the police.
…
"What? Do you think Xiaoshu, like you, became smaller after taking that kind of medicine?!"
The next morning, Dr. Ali’s house.
Dr. Agasa looked at Conan in surprise.
"Yeah," Conan sat on the sofa with a thoughtful look on his face, "Doctor, don't you think it's a bit suspicious for a one-and-a-half-year-old child to say such coherent words? And starting from the investigation... No,
It should be said that since Brother Chi took them back to the Maori Detective Agency the night before, his reaction has been very calm. Whether it was witnessing the murder, investigating, or seeing the body, or even Director Suzuki wanted to sneak attack Brother Chi, but was killed by Chi.
When my brother was defeated, he was very calm and watched quietly..."
Dr. Ali touched his chin and said, "So, he really doesn't look like a one-and-a-half-year-old child."
"aPTx-4869 has always been used as a poison. In experiments, there is a 99.9% or higher death rate," Haiyuan Ai leaned against the sofa with his arms folded. "The reduction is just an example. At least so far, after taking that
The only one that became smaller after taking the drug was the white mouse I observed during the organization. You, and me, if the little tree is like us, it interacts with the organization for some reason, takes aPTx-4869, and then becomes smaller with us.
The probability of this conjecture being realized is less than 0.01% if the same body shrinks to the state of a child."
"But it's still possible, isn't it?" Conan asked.
"Then the second question is, after you and I took that drug, our bodies became about ten years younger. Although it is not yet certain whether the body shrinkage is a fixed ten years younger, or it shrinks according to a certain age ratio, but
One thing I can be sure of," Haihara Ai continued, "if Xiaoshu becomes one and a half years old after taking that kind of medicine, then his age before becoming smaller will be no more than 15 years old, and he will probably be between 10 and 12 years old.
In this range, children aged 10 to 12 may be able to express themselves coherently and clearly, but it seems not easy to achieve the kind of photographic memory and strong observation and analytical skills you mentioned."
"If there is such a person, then he must have been a genius before he became small?" Dr. Ali guessed.
Hui Yuan Ai did not deny it, but lowered his head and thought.
What she just mentioned was not to deny Conan's speculation, but to raise key points that needed to be considered.
She always remembered the person who took her out of Aido Hotel.
During this period of time, there was no one around her who might do this. On the contrary, there was one before...
Chi Feichi!
Her escape that time must have something to do with Brother Fei Chi.
The more she thought about it, the more she felt that what she saw in a daze that day was the ring necklace Chi Feichi was wearing.
Even if Chi Feichi couldn't get out of the Abedo Hotel at that time, the person who took her away must have something to do with Chi Feichi, and even everything was assigned by Chi Feichi.
Chi Feichi didn't react at all afterwards, and he didn't seem to be curious about why Kenzo Fanshan arrested her. Either Chi Feichi didn't know why she was locked up in the wine cellar, or Chi Feichi knew about the existence of the organization and even had some contact with it.
.
So, could it be because of the small tree?
Someone Chi Feichi knew was also persecuted and was reduced in size, so she started to investigate the organization and knew some things about the organization, but not enough. Then she targeted Pisk that day, went to the memorial service, and found that Pisk had caught her.
Saved her by the way?
However, there are many things that don't make sense in this case.
If Xiaoshu has become smaller, then Chi Feichi will probably guess that she and Conan have also become smaller. Logically speaking, if the same kind as Xiaoshu appears, Chi Feichi has no intention of testing and confirming it? Or?
Investigate their original identities and see if they are related to the person who caused Xiaoshu to shrink?
Since Chi Feichi got to know them, he didn't deliberately test or investigate them, and he didn't seem to find them strange at all.
Conan thought about it for a while, and felt that there were many unexplained doubts in his guess, "Maybe Xiaoshu is a genius? Maybe he is too quiet because he is introverted and has no panic, or maybe he has no concept of death and corpses. As for Xiaoshu,
The expressive ability is better than that of ordinary children..."
"It may also be caused by his own photographic memory," Haiyuan Ai took over and sorted out his thoughts, "If he has had a strong memory since he was born, then he will have it from a very young age.
If you can learn how the adults around you speak and do things, your logical and expressive abilities may indeed be stronger than those of ordinary children.”
"Moreover, children themselves have strong observation abilities," Dr. Ali also thought along this line of thinking, "Sometimes, children can indeed pay attention to things that adults cannot pay attention to. It can be understood that, for adults,
Come on, seeing cigarette butts may be just a common thing, but for children, they are magical things that can emit fire and smoke, and adults will put them in their mouths but not touch them. See photos and truck ashtrays
, it’s not surprising that people subconsciously pay attention to cigarette butts.”
"In this case, it can be explained why Brother Fei Chi doesn't think we are suspicious," Haiyuan lamented, "because he himself knows this kind of genius who is stronger than many people at a young age."
"It may be that he has no curiosity at all," said Conan Half Moon Eyes, "or the way he thinks about problems is different from normal people. At that time, he actually asked Xiaoshu to decide what to do next..."
"It seems to be the same in normal times," Dr. Ali laughed, "Don't he very much support you to solve the case yourself? The same goes for Mitsuhiko, Ayumi, and Genta. He encourages them to decide some things and solve some problems by themselves.
He also gives commissions to the Young Detective Team, and he seems to have always believed that everyone can do a good job, so everyone likes him so much."
"My godmother also told me that Fei Chi had very strong observation ability when he was a child, and he was sharper and more mature than ordinary children," Haiyuan lamented. "Perhaps in his eyes, our or Xiaoshu's behavior is not as good as ours."
Isn't that weird? At least he won't think of him as a monster."
"That's right. Mrs. Kana's maturity toward the two of us didn't seem strange at all." Conan thought back to those days when he stayed at Chi Feichi's house and found that he and Haibara Ai could handle some things on their own without relying on others.
Sir, Ikegana didn't react at all, he just let them do it themselves. This is a bit like his parents, they are just a big-hearted type. "However, no matter how you guess, it's just a guess. It's best to confirm it."
!”
"What do you want to do?" Haihara Ai acquiesced to Conan's idea, and she also wanted to find out what the situation was.
Chi Fei Chi was so good at hiding his emotions that it was difficult to detect anything. It was rare for him to have a breakthrough like Xiao Shu.
You can judge Chi Feichi's situation based on Xiaoshu's incident!
"I plan to go to Brother Chi's house, just to see the little tree," Conan looked at Dr. A Li, "Doctor, if you want to go, you can come with us..."
"I won't go." Hui Yuan Ai suddenly said.
Conan was stunned and a little confused, "I said, what's happened to you recently? The day before yesterday, everyone went to the detective office to see Xiaoshu. You said something happened, and you didn't go to investigate yesterday. Usually when Brother Chi is here, you don't always
Would you be happy to go with everyone?"
"If you don't want to return to your original body and continue to live like this, I can give up my research time and follow you around all day, solving crimes everywhere." Haiyuan Ai replied without changing his expression.
Conan sweated and immediately laughed, "Thank you for your hard work! Then have you thought about not going with us today?"
"There's a bunch of data that needs to be recorded. Let's talk about it after we're done. I'll call you then."
Hui Yuan Ai yawned, turned around and walked towards the underground laboratory, muttering 'idiot' in her heart.
She has no plans to go to the Maori Detective Agency or Chi Feichi's house recently.
Now there might be someone watching near the Maori Detective Agency or Chi Feichi's house. She ran over, not only saying that she was in danger, but also letting these people be targeted by the organization's people.
This is not an escape, but for now, it is best for her to hide.
She is indeed researching medicine these days, but she will also take time to look up information about the American child star Grace Alhara.
If necessary, she needs to take a risk and ask for help from a child who is exactly like her to completely eliminate the organization's suspicion of her eight-year-old body.
If one person bumps into each other, the probability of her being Shirley is very high, but what about two people bumping into each other? It’s impossible for both of them to be Shirley, right? What’s more, it’s two little girls.
In the living room, Dr. Ali watched Haibara Ai leave, then turned and walked to the landline, "Then I'll call Fei Chi first to see if he's at home."
Conan also followed.
It didn't take long for the call to be connected, which was Chi Feichi's usual speed in answering calls.
"Fei Chi, it's me, Dr. A Li," Dr. A Li saw Conan approaching and continued to talk to Chi Fei Chi on the other side of the phone, "I bought too much fruit this morning and wanted to send you some. By the way, I'll talk to you.
Conan, let’s go see Xiaoshu together. I wonder if you are at home?”
"I just finished taking notes and came out of the Metropolitan Police Department, shall we go there now?"
The voice on the phone was so cold that Conan sweated.
I'm taking notes again...
Probably because of the Cangtian Freight case yesterday, he always felt that Chi Feichi was not in a good mood.
"Come to my house?" Dr. Ali looked at Conan and agreed, "Okay, then you can bring your child over."
"Half an hour."
"beep……"
Dr. A Li: "..."
This is also Chi Feichi's usual speed of hanging up the phone.
