Chapter 671 The past ten years ago [Happy birthday to Chi Feichi
"Coach Baishi doesn't know much. I heard from her that Brother Fei Chi came here to train during the summer vacation of 12 years ago, the winter vacation 11 years ago, and the summer vacation 10 years ago. He trained very hard and was also a very restrained person.
The level of the people seems to be good. They will stay here for at least half of the holiday every time. They will have lunch and dinner here. In the evening, a driver will pick them up. However, many times they will stay overnight because they train too late.
In the dormitory here, I had breakfast here the next day, almost living here for a while," Haiyuan lamented. "I asked her if Coach Higashida hated Brother Fei Chi, and she smiled and said it was impossible.
At that time, Coach Dongtian was very attentive to Brother Fei Chi’s training. He would stay with him until very late, and would also keep an eye on Brother Fei Chi and change the menu in the cafeteria according to his physical condition. Brother Fei Chi sometimes trained too late, and Coach Dongtian also
I’ll bring him dinner.”
"We asked the head chef, and his answer was similar," Conan said. "The coaches communicated a lot with each other, but rarely talked about the training situation, and he didn't understand it even more. However, he had seen Coach Higashida and Makino
The coach asked the students to try the competition. At that time, the relationship between the two people should be very good. In that competition, Brother Chi defeated all the opponents under the age of 16, but if I have to say he hates it, Coach Makino is the one who hates Brother Chi.
.”
"The relationship between Coach Makino and Coach Higashida seems to have deteriorated ten years ago, but it seems that their relationship was already bad when Brother Fei Chi was still training. I heard from Coach Shiraishi that the specific time was indeed
After that game," Haiyuan Ai continued, "about a week later, Brother Fei Chi left the club and hasn't been back for the past ten years."
"Could it be that Brother Chi performed so well in the game that Coach Makino lost face and was unwilling to be friends with Coach Higashikata," Gentai joined the detective armband discussion group and speculated? "Coach Higashida lost his friend.
? That’s why you hate Brother Chi?”
Conan frowned, is it possible? But he always felt something was wrong? Coach Makino's attitude and Coach Higashida's attitude were not suitable for this situation. As for Chi Feichi's attitude... forget it? There's no need to think about Chi Feichi's attitude.
.
"However, regarding the fact that Coach Higashikata hates Brother Chi? Have we gained something here?" Mitsuhiko said, "Ten years ago, the guard captain was just an ordinary guard, responsible for the security of the door? He has met Brother Chi many times.
? After Brother Chi stopped coming to the club, he asked Coach Dongtian, but Coach Dongtian said, 'It's best that the kid never comes'."
"Everyone seems to have very few clues," Ayumi said.
"What happened ten years ago is too long," Hui Yuan Ai lamented. "Not only is it difficult to find people who worked here ten years ago? Even if you find them, it is also difficult to remember some details of that year? Ten years have passed, even the information
Most of them have been lost? Coach Shiraishi originally planned to take me to the data room to see the photos and training arrangements taken when Brother Chi was training here? But I couldn’t find any previous data in the data room... Anyway? After I came out
Just rush to the back door? We're almost there now."
"Ayumi and I are already here," Conan said. "It's almost nine o'clock. You should come here quickly."
"I see."
"Me and Yuanta are almost here."
…
In the silent corridor, after Haihara Ai cut off the communication of the detective armband, she thought about it and decided that it would be better to call her godmother.
Although Ikekana seems to be very busy and doesn't care much about the children and is completely free, she might know something about the situation.
On the other side, when Genta and Mitsuhiko were approaching the back door, they saw Maybuchi Kyohei passing by. They thought it was a bit strange that Maybuchi Kyohei hadn't left the club at this time, so they followed them decisively.
So at nine o'clock, only Conan and Ayumi were waiting at the back door.
"It's already 9:02, why aren't they here yet?" Conan felt strange and quickly sorted out his thoughts. He felt that he was almost close to the truth ten years ago, but he was always a little closer...
"Click."
The back door was opened.
Seeing a group of people getting off a cleaning company's car, Conan quickly came to his senses and found the oldest old woman among them to ask about the situation.
"That's right, I was responsible for the sanitation and cleaning work here ten years ago," the old woman spoke slowly and seemed very kind. "To be precise, it has been fifteen years."
"Do you know Coach Higashida and Coach Makino?" Conan asked.
"They, I know," the old woman still spoke very slowly, but with a hint of dissatisfaction, "Everyone prefers Coach Higashida, but I don't like him at all."
"Huh?" Conan was a little confused, "Why?"
The old woman shook her head, "He is not as kind as he appears in private."
Is Coach Higashikata a duplicitous person?
Conan felt even more confused. It shouldn't be, it didn't feel like it.
"Then do you remember the boy who came here to train ten years ago?" Bumi tried his best to describe Chi Feichi's situation, "He was coached by Dongtian, he was very handsome, um... his tennis skills were very good, and his training was also very good.
Try hard, by the way, his eyes are purple!"
She almost forgot about such obvious features.
The old woman obviously didn't need any more reminders, "Oh! Of course I remember that child, and I remember it very clearly..."
…
Clubs in the past were not much different from today, but the various devices were not as smart as they are now.
In the past, the doors of the indoor tennis courts were not replaced with electronic doors with warning signs. In order to let others know that someone was using the training room, people training inside would not close the door tightly to allow sound to escape or light to pass through.
At nearly ten o'clock that night, a woman in her fifties and a colleague who was twenty years younger than her were talking quietly and passing by with cleaning tools.
She likes the atmosphere here very much.
There will be energetic young people here sweating, staring at the tennis ball with determined eyes over and over again, and hitting the tennis ball with a bang, and it seems that it is never boring.
She also has to work, and often can only come here at night. Only occasionally when she has a break can she go to the outdoor tennis court during the day.
But it's not a pity, there will be hard-working young people practicing here even at night.
That night, she saw a boy, probably only seven or eight years old.
There are very few children here who are so young, and even fewer children who are trained until such a late age.
She comes here almost every day. Although she doesn't know how to play tennis, she also knows how to watch.
She looked through the crack in the door and found the child standing in a bright room practicing his swing. His movements were still a bit jerky, and he kept correcting his movements. He must have just learned it for a short time, but the determination and concentration in his purple eyes were not as strong as
She has never seen anyone weak.
She thought that the child must like to play tennis very much, and maybe he also wants to become a professional tennis player. He can also become a professional tennis player.
Without disturbing the child, she and her colleagues quietly left and went to clean the office first. When they came back, the lights there had been turned off.
From that night on, she could see the child training from time to time.
Sometimes I am alone, sometimes I am accompanied by the smiling coach Higashitago.
But she couldn't see him every night, after all, she came too late, and she later learned that the child would only come for a while during the holidays.
People came and went here, and a year later, when she almost forgot about the child, she saw the child training in the training room again at night.
The child was already impeccable in serving and returning the ball. He seemed to be pondering a certain skill. The tennis ball fell to the ground and was caught by his hand. After a while, the tennis ball was thrown up and hit.
Just like countless nights, she watched for a while, then moved on, maybe stopping at a lighted doorway. When the people inside saw her, she smiled back, and then went to work.
On another night that year, the child saw her. After she smiled back, he was stunned for a moment, nodded to her, and continued training.
Another year, she saw the child again one night, and this time, she talked to Mr. Higashtagoshi.
"Mr. Higashida, this child is here again."
"Yes, he arrived about a week ago, but I asked him to rest early and didn't train too late. Tonight is because there will be a sparring match between coaches tomorrow. He wants to participate, so I will accompany him to train."
"He is still young, so he should pay attention to rest... By the way, I have a day off tomorrow, can I come over and watch him play?"
"Of course. Tomorrow's match will be at the No. 2 clay tennis court. It will start at nine in the morning, break at noon, and start at one in the afternoon. It will last for three days in total."
She went to the game the next day.
Just as she had expected two years ago, that child was very good, better than those of his age and many older. He might be the champion of this sparring match.
On the third day, she had to go to a company to clean during the day and did not go to watch the game. When she arrived at the club at night, she saw the lights on in the training room again.
She thought she should ask the child's name. Maybe that child would become a famous tennis player in the future. She also wanted to chat with the child and ask him how old he was, how was the game today, and what would happen tomorrow.
, she should probably wish him the championship, she could see that the others were no match for him...
With this thought in mind, she walked quickly towards the door and passed by the passing coach. However, she heard Higashikata talking inside, with an unusually stern tone.
"I've already told you that you are not suitable for playing tennis. Leave as soon as possible. I don't want to and will never teach you again!"
"There is the final game tomorrow. In addition, I have to practice the skills you mentioned for a few more days before I leave." The child said softly. He saw her when he went out, nodded to her, and walked towards the dormitory building.
.
She couldn't figure out why Higashida Yue said that. He was obviously a very good and hard-working child, so she also asked Higashida Yue who was going out with him.
Higashida Yue replied calmly: "As a professional tennis coach, I know very well who is suitable and who is not!"
…
"I haven't seen that kid since that day, and I don't know when he completely left the club," the old woman said. "I only know that he was indeed the champion of that sparring match."
"How could this happen..." Ayumi's eyes turned red upon hearing this.
Conan felt something in his heart. He didn't expect that guy Chi Feichi had had this kind of experience before...
"I still have time to wish him the championship. Although he is only the champion of the private sparring match, someone should congratulate him. He is a child after all." The old woman smiled, "However, he can go elsewhere if he leaves here.
He practices in a place like this. Such a powerful person looks the same wherever he goes. Maybe in two years, you can see him on TV."
Ayumi pursed her lips.
She knew that Chi Fei had stopped playing tennis, and it was impossible to see Chi Fei on TV...
Hold it, hold it, I can't hold it anymore.
The more Ayumi thought about it, the sadder she became, and she burst into tears, which shocked Conan.
Conan was stunned for a moment, then his eyes lit up, "I understand!"
