At six o'clock in the morning, not long after dawn, Chi Feichi returned to the room on the second floor of the B&B and found that Kogoro Mori, Conan, Mitsuhiko and Genta were still sleeping. He took out his yukata from his hiking bag and went out to take a shower.
After running all night, he was still not sleepy. It turned out that he had been lying in bed for too long some time ago...
By the time Chi Feichi finished taking a shower and went out, Conan and the others had already finished washing briefly and were sitting together to have breakfast.
"Wow."
Hearing the sound of the door being opened, Conan raised his head indifferently. When he saw Chi Fei Chi coming in wearing a white bathrobe, he was stunned for a moment, and his eyes gradually turned resentful.
A certain guy made him curious until he fell asleep at around three o'clock in the morning. He didn't know when he came back, but he seemed to be in a good mood?
Although Chi Feichi didn't show any emotion on his face, the guy was not wearing black.
Wearing such an eye-catching white yukata, with light green leaf-like textures on it, it was full of life at first glance, as if it was expressing the subtext of "I am energetic, I am in a good mood" in front of him.
"Brother Chi, good morning!" Mao Lilan greeted with a smile, "So you went to take a shower."
"Morning." Chi Feichi ignored Conan's resentful gaze and sat down in front of the big table.
Yuantai looked straight at Chi Feichi's entire movements. After Chi Feichi sat down, he exclaimed, "It turns out it's true!"
"That's what Xiao Ai just said," Bumi explained to Chi Feichi with a smile, "Just now when we came to the restaurant and Guangyan sat down, talking about Brother Chi, every time you sit down, you always bend your legs behind you and move your right foot.
Drag back, with your left knee touching the ground first, and then flattening your right knee. Xiao Ai said it was a habit left over from learning bow and arrow, which is also called dragging half a step!"
Mr. Nagakura took out the tray, knelt down to the side, put the tray on the table, and said with a smile, "For your breakfast, I didn't expect you to learn archery."
"Brother Fei Chi is very good at riding and shooting!" Mao Lilan said, and found that among the group of energetic little devils, only Conan yawned languorously, and asked with concern, "Conan, you didn't sleep well? Is it because dad last night?
Snoring too loudly?”
After Conan finished yawning, he glanced at Chi Feichi and lowered his head to eat, "I'm okay..."
Forget it, he won't expose Chi Feichi's sinister intentions for the time being.
After breakfast, Genta, Mitsuhiko, and Ayumi were excitedly preparing to investigate the strange thing that Ayumi encountered last night, and even roped in Conan and Haibara Ai.
Conan originally wanted to ask Chi Feichi what he did last night, but before he could ask, Yuantai dragged him away.
"Don't run too fast, pay attention to safety!" Mao Lilan warned loudly.
"I know!" Genta and Mitsuhiko dragged Conan along the road without looking back.
"Really..." Mao Lilan smiled helplessly, then turned to ask Chi Feichi, "What about you, Brother Feichi? What are you going to do soon?"
Chi Feichi had just finished breakfast and put down his chopsticks, "I'll go for a walk and bring the children back later."
Although there is online information collected by Ark, it is too little. In such a closed place, you still have to go and see it on the spot.
"Then the children will trouble you~" Mao Lilan smiled and watched Chi Fei go out late.
Brother Fei Chi really cares about the children. He said he was going out for a walk, but in fact he was worried because he was worried that the children would be in danger.
Good guy card +1!
…
The five children of the Youth Detective Team went separately to interview the villagers. After the investigation, they met again at the gate of Yize's house.
"Otozawa's house..." Mitsuhiko looked up and looked at the loose wood on the door, "It looks like this is the house where Asami and his family lived ten years ago."
Ayumi straightened her expression and walked resolutely into the house.
"I heard that she is the only daughter in their family." Yuantai said.
Conan noticed Ayumi walking in and asked quickly, "Ayumi, where are you going?"
"I'm going to find Asami!"
Ayumi pushed the door open and entered the house. The other four people quickly followed in and rummaged around on the first floor.
Yi Ze's house has been abandoned for a long time. The water supply was cut off, broken bowls were left in the sink, and there were many newspapers and wooden boards scattered on the floor that could not be seen clearly.
"Everyone said that Mami seemed to have died of illness." Mitsuhiko turned his head and looked around.
Hui Yuan Ai lay down in front of the furnace and poked the ashes in the furnace with a small stick.
"Not long after, her father and mother seemed to have moved away from this place." Yuantai took over.
"I don't know if there are any photos left here," Mitsuhiko walked to the table covered with dust, "but it's been ten years, so it's a little difficult to find the photos."
Haibara Ai was still poking in front of the hearth, "Whether what Yoshida-san saw is true or not, you will know if you compare it with the photos."
"You're right!" Mitsuhiko smiled and flattered, "Haihara-san is so awesome!"
"You don't really think there is a ghost, do you?" Conan silently approached Haihara Ai and whispered, "Please, why do you even say such things..."
"Don't you believe it? Conan." Mitsuhiko asked.
Over there, Ayumi was startled looking at the wall and did not look back.
"Please, I'm a detective who makes judgments based on theory and reasoning," Conan said with half-moon eyes, "How can I believe in ghosts?"
"That's not what Mitsuhiko asked." Genta couldn't help but said.
"Actually, they are asking you," Haibara Ai explained, "do you believe what Yoshida-san said."
Conan sweated and realized something was wrong with the atmosphere, and said hurriedly, "Well...actually I..."
Ayumi looked back at Conan aggrievedly, turned around and ran out.
"Ayumi!"
Gentai and Mitsuhiko were about to catch up, but suddenly stopped and looked at Chi Feichi in surprise, who came down from the stairs at the door and blocked Ayumi's path.
"Brother Chi?"
"How will you be here?"
Hui Yuan Ai dropped the small wooden stick and looked at the stairs Chi Fei came down from, "It seems that someone arrived earlier than us."
"Don't use the name 'someone' to your brother," Chi Feichi reminded, then looked at Bumi who was in tears, "If Bumi lies..."
Ayumi almost burst into tears that she was holding back.
Wronged……
"It must be out of goodwill, and seeing Mami obviously does not fall into this category, so there is no need for her to lie," Chi Feichi walked past Bumi calmly and walked towards Conan, "This is also based on Bumi's past performance.
, age, behavioral style, and personality, and then make a judgment based on the information obtained.”
Ayumi: "..."
Suddenly I no longer feel aggrieved.
Conan was stunned for a moment, then said helplessly, "It's not that I don't believe what Bumi said, I just wonder if someone is playing tricks and deliberately using some means to pretend to be a ghost. Last night I heard a very strange sound like crying in the village, and then
It’s so flickering that I can’t hear clearly…”
"Ah?" Yuantai's face became frightened, and he hugged Mitsuhiko next to him, "Crying, crying?"
Mitsuhiko also felt scared and stammered, "Yes, but I didn't hear it."
There were tears in the corners of Ayumi's eyes, but she looked at Conan doubtfully, "Ayumi didn't hear that either."
"Me neither." Haiyuan lamented.
"That's because you all fell asleep. It was probably after three o'clock in the morning, but Brother Chi should have heard," Conan Banyue looked at Chi Feichi, "He ran out last night after you fell asleep.
Well, I probably won’t come back until the morning, and then go directly to take a shower.”
Bumi, Guangyan, and Yuan Tai all looked up at Chi Feichi.
"So it's like this. You didn't have much energy this morning. Could it be that you waited for him to go to bed until midnight?" Haihara Ai stood up from the hearth, "Then, what are you discussing about investigating? It needs to be investigated all night.
?”
Conan said dullly, "There was no discussion..."
"He was too curious to sleep." Chi Feichi explained for Conan.
He didn't go out to look for clues last night, he just wanted to test his changes. He originally planned to wait until Conan fell asleep before leaving, but Conan suddenly talked to him, so he thought he couldn't sleep anyway, so he might as well find a companion...
"What, what do you mean?" Mitsuhiko was confused.
"Well..." Haibara Ai thought for a moment deliberately, "Edogawa was punished by Brother Fei Chi out of curiosity, that's what you should say."
"Hey, hey," Conan was speechless to Haiyuan Ai who was gloating about his misfortune. He turned to look at Chi Feichi and asked the question he had been pondering all night, "So what on earth did you do last night?"
"Running at night." Chi Feichi said.
Conan was confused, "Huh?"
"I couldn't sleep and went out for a night run, that's it," Chi Feichi said without changing his expression. "As for the voice you said, I didn't hear it. Maybe you were too sleepy and had auditory hallucinations."
"Is that so..." Conan frowned and thought for a moment. He was very sleepy when he heard the voice last night, but even if he was hallucinating, it was because Chi Feichi was trying to make things up and made him think too much. "Brother Chi, where are you?
Are there really no clues? Regarding Asami, and Mr. Nagakura, his attitude is very strange..."
"You have about the same clues about Asami. We only know that she fell ill and died ten years ago." Chi Feichi looked at the dusty floor, gave up on sitting down to talk, and turned and walked out the door, "Tuberculous meningitis.
It was already very late when I went to the hospital, and there was a record of being prescribed a lot of medicine, so there should be no injustice in the death."
Conan followed up with his hands in his pockets, "You even know that she has tuberculous meningitis, and you still say you didn't investigate?"
"It was indeed a night run last night. I just asked a doctor friend in the morning. The hospital where Asami was treated ten years ago happened to be hers. He found the information entered into the computer," Chi Feichi continued, "As for Mr. Nagakura
, His son Nagakura Eiji is 20 years old this year. There were relevant reports six months ago. Nagakura Eiji robbed a jewelry store with a gun, killed a guard with a gun, looted some jewelry, and fled with the jewelry appraiser hostage.
, and because his fingerprints were all over the scene, he was quickly traced by the police, and finally committed suicide with a gun."
"Suicide?" Conan asked.
"Well, that's what the report said. His body was found under a cliff in Jingjin Village, a nearby village." Chi Feichi stopped at the door, "because the police compared the bullet marks that penetrated his head.
The ballistic trajectory was consistent with the trajectory of the bullet holes on the guard and in the jewelry store, and the fingerprints left at the robbery scene were not suspicious. It was confirmed that he was the robber, so it was determined that he committed suicide."
"Where are those jewels?" Conan immediately grasped the point, "Have you found them?"
"No." Chi Feichi said.
"Since the jewels he snatched were not found, it is possible that someone used his gun to kill him and dump his body on the cliff for the jewels," Conan analyzed while stroking his chin. "That person must be someone he is familiar with.
He was able to know his location during his escape, which means that it was premeditated and it is unlikely to be an accidental encounter..."
"The jewelry appraiser he held hostage disappeared after that. The police suspect that the appraiser was killed by him and his body was dumped somewhere," Chi Feichi continued, "I suspect that the jewelry appraiser is not dead."
Conan was stunned, raised his head in confusion and asked Chi Feichi, "Why? What's the basis?"
Chi Feichi lowered his eyes and looked at Conan, his eyes as calm as a deep pool, "Because there is a jewelry appraiser beside us."
Haihara Ai felt a chill go down his spine when he heard this, not to mention Conan who met Chi Feichi's gaze.
If Eiji Nagakura did not commit suicide but was killed, then the jewelry appraiser who disappeared after he kidnapped him is highly suspicious. Now Chi Feichi said that there is a jewelry appraiser beside them, uh... this kind
