Conan: I'm Not a Psychopath

Chapter 631: Can't You Speak Like a Human Being?

Room 1102.

Conan watched Chi Feichei close the Door and restrained the melancholy of parting in his Heart. "By the Way, Brother Chi, what's Little Tree's full name?"

"Didn't he tell you?" Chi Feichei returned to the Living Room, squatted down to pack up the Toy Car and Playmat he bought for Sawada Hiroki.

"No," Conan stepped forward to Help pack up. "I asked him, but he said, just treat it as if he doesn't have a full name."

"Then just treat it as if he doesn't have one," Chi Feichei Say.

So mysterious? Or has he never had a full name?

Conan thought for a while, and also felt that the Old Person was very Serious and looked unapproachable. Some Families are just Complex. Little Tree was unwilling to Say, and it wasn't convenient for him to Gossip with Chi Feichei. "Brother Chi, will you keep these Things?"

"Put them in the Room Ai cleared out. Leave the other Room for Guests."

"Then when will Little Tree come again?"

"Uncertainty."

"..."

...

Early the next morning.

Chi Feichei drove Conan to Downstairs of the Detective Agency.

Conan was a little melancholy. That smart and well-behaved little guy was gone. After Getting Along for a few days, he really felt a little reluctant to part, and before the Child left, he even suspected him. Just thinking about it made him feel guilty, so he... Decided to Go Out with Uncle to relax.

"Brother Chi, are you really not Going Together to go Fishing with us?"

"Not going." Chi Feichei refused instantly.

Conan choked. After getting out of the Car, he asked, "Did you tell Haibara and Ran about Little Tree leaving?"

"No." Chi Feichei Say, "Tell them By the Way."

Conan was Speechless. That was really 'By the Way'. He closed the Car Door and walked Upstairs. "Then Brother Chi, see you another Day~!"

After Chi Feichei drove away, he went straight to the Port Laboratory.

Not far after the Car drove out, an SUV followed not too closely behind.

When Chi Feichei Park the Car to wait for the Traffic Lights, two Flying Bird flew over from Above, chirping.

Chi Feichei Looked at the Rearview Mirror and withdrew his Line of Sight.

Akai Shuichi...

Probably knowing that the people from the Mori Detective Agency were going to the Wilderness for Fishing today, he temporarily Decided to follow him for a Day.

This Fellow is really Stalking without Rest for even a Day, also quite Troublesome.

Behind, Akai Shuichi followed and Park the Car in front of the Traffic Lights. He took the Time to light a Cigarette, paying attention to the Red Car in front of him with the corner of his Eye.

Chi Feichei...

A Troublesome person, but if he has Time, he'll follow him. Maybe there will be some unexpected Gain.

The Red Light ticked by second by second, turning to Green Light.

Chi Feichei drove on, continuing towards the Port Area, and Say in a low voice, "Hassashi, Help me contact Hongzi."

Sawada Hiroki doesn't have much Time left. At least it's the First Time, although for Sawada Hiroki, this isn't the First Time to die, but it's different from the last time when he was just 'dong' and gone. This Time the Process will be relatively Slow. He has to go and send his own Child off for a journey... Cough, a bit Weird, but that's the Fact.

Moreover, he also wants to see after Time, whether Sawada Hiroki's Puppet-transformed Body will disappear, or will it transform back into a Puppet again.

However, he also doesn't want Akai Shuichi to know about his Laboratory in the Port Area. He can only Ask Koizumi Akako if there's a Method.

Hassashi probed his Tail into Chi Feichei's Outerwear Pocket, Find the Red Card, and rolled it onto Chi Feichei's Shoulder.

At this Time, it's more Hidden to use the Witch Communicator.

"Hongzi?"

"Child of Nature? Are you coming over?"

"On the Road, being Tracked."

"Can't you shake off The Other Party?"

"Can, but it will be very Suspicious. The Other Party's Tracking Skill is not bad. If I discover it and shake him off, I will be noticed in the future."

"I Understand, you just don't want to alarm The Other Party, right? You continue to drive forward. When you arrive near the Port Area, I will Help you Manufacture a fake Mirror Image. The Mirror Image will continue to drive to Outside City Area, towards Shizuoka Direction. It can at least hold him back for six Hours. Would that be okay?"

"Troublesome you."

Chi Feichei didn't continue to Say, and frowned slightly.

Recently, he has been asking Koizumi Akako for Help a bit too much, and it seems that Koizumi Akako doesn't need any Help from him.

If Koizumi Akako had to Say, it would probably be to beat up Kuroba Kaito or something like that. He Don't Think that kind of playing around counts as Help.

He doesn't want to take advantage of Others, and even less wants to excessively rely on Other people's Strength.

After becoming addicted to reliance, it will delay his own progress.

He should still be more restrained in the future.

Moreover, Koizumi Akako has always been unwilling to interfere in Conan's Matters, but recently she seems to have interfered quite a bit...

...

Half an Hour later, Koizumi Akako Helped to make a Mirror Image, leading Akai Shuichi away. Chi Feichei also arrived at the Port Laboratory.

When Chi Feichei entered the Door, Koizumi Akako was staring blankly at her Wrist.

On Koizumi Akako's Wrist, there was a Silver Line, extending all the way to her Arm.

Chi Feichei Looked at it, and closed the Door of the Laboratory. "Interfered too much?"

"It did appear just now after Helping to lead that person away," Koizumi Akako sprawled on the Table, "It will probably Subsided after seven Days."

"Anything Else?" Chi Feichei pressed.

"Nothing Else, but isn't this already Serious?" Koizumi Akako straightened up and Looked at Chi Feichei Seriously. "I have to hide at Home for seven Days, can't see people, can't go to School, and can't go to bully Kaito anymore."

"Are you sure it's not being bullied by Kaito?" Chi Feichei exposed her.

Koizumi Akako: "..."

Child of Nature, you are so annoyingly Direct!

Can't you Say something like a Human being?

Chi Feichei endured Koizumi Akako's resentful Gaze and continued to talk about Serious Business, "Sorry, I won't Troublesome you with these Matters in the future."

"Actually, it's not that Serious," Koizumi Akako Looked at her Wrist. "It's just hiding for two Days, it feels much better than listening to your Venomous Tongue..."

Chi Feichei ignored Koizumi Akako's Teasing and Get Up to walk towards the Inner Room Laboratory. "Another Day, I'll get Feimo to send you a few bottles of Venom."

Koizumi Akako Get Up and followed. "Then is there anything you need Help with?"

"Nothing."

"I'm worried about growing Feather because I owe you... Let Ark Help me for a while longer. I'll still hide in the Laboratory during this Time. After Ark recorded the Records, it Discovered some Records related to the Matter of Witch's Tears causing Magic Power to fail. After finding the Reason, Ark and I can Cooperate to Find if there is a Method to remove this restriction."

The Two People arrived at the Inner Room Laboratory.

Sawada Hiroki was lying on the White Platform, mentally listless.

"How do you Feel?" Chi Feichei stepped forward.

"Don't Think I Feel Uncomfortable anywhere," Sawada Say, and couldn't Help but Yawn again, "Just Feel very sleepy, want to sleep but can't fall asleep."

"There are still 39 minutes," Koizumi Akako raised her Head to Look at the Wall Clock. "Then you can sleep."

Chi Feichei Tease up Sawada Hiroki's Clothes and Looked at the Red Mark on Sawada Hiroki's Belly. The Color had already dimmed to the Point where it was almost invisible. "Have the Detection Result come out?"

"There are Results," Koizumi Akako was wearing a White Coat, and she really had a bit of the Feeling of a Researcher, but she didn't have any Intention of Operating the Machine. "I took his Hair, Fingernails, Saliva, Blood Sample. Ark Helped to Control the Machine and made a Comparison with Ordinary Person's Sample. Ark, Say the Comparison Result."

"Okay," Ark's childish voice came from the Loudspeaker next to him. "The Comparison Result is that the Similarity Degree between this Body and Human Gene is only 62%. The Similarity Degree between Chimpanzee and Human in Gene reaches more than 96%. The Similarity Degree of physiological activity Gene between Rat, Dog, Pig and other Animals and Human is about 85%~95%. Only 62% of Gene Similarity Degree, similar to Fruit Fly, Chicken, Banana..."

Sawada Hiroki: "..."

Using Science to Research Metaphysics, using Metaphysics to assist Science... Godfather is really daring to Think!

Listening to it is very interesting, but he also feels that his current Body is very Weird.

Ark continued to explain the Situation, "I have compared the Data with Tree Category, and the Similarity Degree is only 79%~93%. Afterwards, I applied to Mr. Shinnosuke, and he temporarily stopped using 60% of the Computation over there. I used 61% of the Computing Power to Intrusion into some Gene Research Institute's Database and obtained a Portion of Gene Research Data. After Comparison, 99.9% of the Gene have found corresponding Data in other Biological Gene Bank, but there is still a new section of Gene that does not belong to any kind of Creature. At least in the current Gene Sample, no corresponding Gene Data has been found. I have saved this section of Gene Data, and according to Mr. Shinnosuke's Intention, transmitted the relevant Comparison Data to him. Mr. Shinnosuke asked me to tell you that this kind of Fast Intrusion and stealing Data has Hidden Danger. He will Find People to build our own Biological Gene Bank. He is taking back 60% of the Computing Permission."

"His Smell is really sensitive." Chi Feichei was Speechless.

If this is a new Gene, then it is a major Discovery, which may have unimaginable Help for Gene Research.

This is also the Benefit of having Artificial Intelligence, which can Utilize high Computation to complete Work that Humans can only complete after many Days of Comparison, and quickly Find the Key Point.

Manpower and material resources are priced, but Time is priceless.

However, His Dad is just temporarily lending him the Computation here, and running away after taking the Achievement... The Behavior is extremely Evil!

"Tell him, I want Research Achievement sharing. In addition, when you are not busy with Technological Products Research, Help me do some Research on Cell, Cell Apoptosis."

"Okay, I will tell Mr. Shinnosuke right away."

Koizumi Akako listened with Black Lines on Forehead. What magical Father and Son, can't they communicate by Phone Call, they have to let Artificial Intelligence relay the message...

Ark was Quiet for a while, and then Say childishly again, "Relayed, Mr. Shinnosuke asked me to tell you, please try to collect Samples such as Young Master Noah's Body's Hair, Fingernails, Blood, Saliva, etc. If Young Master Noah's Body disappears, and those Things do not disappear, hand them over to Mr. Oyama to arrange for someone to send them to him. If they disappear, then No Need..."

Koizumi Akako: "..."

Indeed, using Artificial Intelligence as a message relay machine!

Chapter 633: None of These Students Are Reliable

The next day, 3:30 PM.

Downstairs at the Mouri Detective Agency.

Chi Feichei leaned against the car door, making a phone call to Koizumi Akako who had arrived in London.

"What about your final exam?"

"I told the Teacher that I'll return to school for make-up exams after the summer vacation," Koizumi Akako said fearlessly, "Compared to forming a Legion, going to school and facing those little boys is just too boring."

"Be careful, don't be reckless," Chi Feichei reminded, "There aren't many people who can get the better of you like Spider, but there are at least ten or more in this World."

"When have I ever suffered a loss at his hands?" Koizumi Akako felt this was slander against herself.

Chi Feichei was too lazy to explain. Last time, if it weren't for him, Koizumi Akako would definitely have suffered a loss at Spider's hands.

"Okay, don't worry, I'll be careful," Koizumi Akako didn't act tough.

Not to mention Spider and those people, The Vatican is her biggest headache.

If she acts recklessly in the West, she's afraid of being caught and burned to death...

"Help me keep an eye on Spider's Movement. He doesn't seem to have any performances recently."

Chi Feichei expressed his longing for Spider, but Koizumi Akako didn't think Spider would miss Chi Feichei at all.

Why hasn't Spider had any performances recently? Isn't it because of a certain fellow!

"Okay, I'll help you keep an eye on his Movement..." Koizumi Akako said, "But I can't guarantee whether I can find him or not."

"It's okay, just pay attention to relevant News when you have Time," Chi Feichei said, and suddenly asked, "Do the boring little boys at school you mentioned include Kaito?"

"Kaito..." Koizumi Akako was awkwardly silent for two seconds, "I seem to have forgotten to say goodbye to Kaito. Could you help me... Never mind, I'll Call him myself later... The Car has arrived Downstairs at the Umbrella Corporation Building. The Outside the Building looks very technological."

Chi Feichei: "..."

He couldn't respond to that. He hadn't been to the Umbrella Company since it was established.

"I see Mr. Shinnosuke, so I'll stop talking for now..."

"Wait, give him the Mobile Phone."

"Okay..."

Koizumi Akako didn't understand why, but she still went to communicate for Chi Feichei.

Chi Feichei leaned against the Car Door, quietly listening to the whispers on the Phone Call.

After a moment, Chi Shinnosuke's calm voice came through, "What's the matter?"

"Concealing Mother's matter was my Idea," Chi Feichei said, "But Mr. Shinnosuke, please speak to me more gently and patiently in the future."

"I'll try my best," Chi Shinnosuke added, "Do you have anything else?"

Chi Feichei: "Nothing else..."

"Beep..."

Chi Feichei: "..."

This 'I'll try my best' has no Sincerity at all!

...London.

Chi Shinnosuke handed the Mobile Phone back to Koizumi Akako, feeling relieved.

He still remembered when his Son was at Aoyama Fourth Hospital, not staying there for Treatment properly, insisting that he find a host Family, and then causing trouble at the host Family's Home.

And threatening him that if he didn't Help, he would keep Call harassing him...

Threatening Parents is too much, it can't be tolerated!

...Tokyo.

Chi Feichei put away his Mobile Phone, feeling quite good.

It's a kind of happiness to have someone you can act shamelessly with, regardless of whether you succeed or not.

It's much better than the Family keeping Worries to themselves before.

Behind him, talking sounds came from the Stairwell Downstairs at the Mouri Detective Agency.

"Ran, don't forget to bring the Meal Coupon..."

"I know, I won't forget. But you, Dad, don't get drunk again..."

"I don't have to drive today, what's wrong with drinking a little more..."

Conan arrived Downstairs first, saw Chi Feichei's Car at a Glance, and stepped forward to greet him obediently, "Brother Chi! Hassashi!"

Because the Weather was hot, Chi Feichei was no longer wearing a Coat, simply putting on a loose Long-Sleeved T-Shirt.

Hassashi didn't hide under his Clothes either, wrapping around Chi Feichei's Neck to help cool down and block the Sun. Hearing Conan's greeting, it lazily flicked its Snake Tongue to show that it was still alive.

"Brother Hichiji, Sorry for keeping you waiting!" Mouri Ran came Downstairs, stepped forward with Mori Kogoro, and happily shared with Chi Feichei, "I won a Meal Coupon for a High-end Restaurant in Yokohama Chinatown a Few Days Ago. Dad plans to go there today. Because you usually like Chinese Cuisine very much, I thought of inviting you to go together. I tried hard to participate in the Lottery, and I really won enough Meal Coupons!"

Chi Feichei: "..."

Magical 'tried hard to win enough Meal Coupons'.

The Top Prize of others must have been taken away by Mouri Ran again.

"There was originally one more," Mouri Ran was still a little regretful, "I wanted to ask my Mother to go with us, but after the Meal Coupon was sent to her, she said that she had to prepare for the court hearing the day after tomorrow these Few Days, and she would go if she had Time."

"Then let's go and Check it out first," Conan said expectantly, "Maybe we can have a sumptuous Chinese Cuisine Meal."

Chi Feichei Nodded in Cooperation, having already given up Expectation in his Heart.

With Conan coming along, whether they can even have Dinner tonight is a Problem.

However, whether they eat or not is not important. He had already had an extra Meal Before coming. He hadn't been to Yokohama Chinatown, so going to stroll around is also good.

"The Meal Coupon for that Chinese Restaurant doesn't seem to specify whether Pets are allowed in the Shop..." Mori Kogoro Saw Hassashi wrapped around Chi Feichei's Neck.

If he wasn't also familiar with Hassashi, he would find it strange and eerie when he Saw it.

He hoped his eldest disciple wouldn't be driven out as a Black Wizard as soon as he entered the Shop.

"Generally, it's not allowed," Conan said.

"Hassashi will definitely hide well," Mouri Ran said Smilingly, looking at Hassashi, "Right?"

Hassashi turned its Head and burrowed under Chi Feichei's Clothes, only revealing its Head resting on the edge of the Collar.

Mouri Ran couldn't help but chuckle, Smilingly saying, "You can't tell at all!"

"What kind of hiding is that? Others can see that Snake Head at a Glance," Mori Kogoro couldn't stand to see his Daughter talking nonsense with her eyes open, opened the Passenger Seat Car Door, and sat inside, "Let's hurry up and set off. If we arrive at Chinatown early, we still need to find where that Shop is."

Chi Feichei also got into the Car. After waiting for Conan and Mouri Ran to get into the Car and sit down, he drove off.

Along the way, Mouri Ran kept her Head down, reading a History Book and Recitation.

"Who proposed the 'Twelve Articles of Sealed Opinion' to Emperor Ti Hu..."

Closing the Book.

"San Shan Qingxing!"

Opening the Book.

"What is the name of the Drawing depicting Buddha descending to Pure Land?"

Closing the Book.

"Saints Welcoming Painting."

Chi Feichei listened while driving.

Finally, it felt a bit like the Final Exam was approaching for Students.

Mouri Ran continued to Open the Book, "In the Heian Period, regarding..."

Mori Kogoro felt his Mind buzzing from listening, and couldn't help but say, "Hey, please! Stop reciting, my Head is about to explode!"

"I can't help it," Mouri Ran retorted, "There's a History Exam at School Tomorrow, but there have been too many Club Activities recently, and I haven't been able to study properly at all..."

"Then you shouldn't have come," Mori Kogoro said speechlessly, "Wouldn't it have been better to stay at Home and study properly?"

"The Meal Coupon was won by me," Mouri Ran said dissatisfiedly, leaning forward to Mori Kogoro in the Passenger Seat, "Do you want me to stay at Home and study alone? That's so boring. Besides, today is supposed to be my treat for Brother Hichiji and Conan, not for you, this stingy Uncle who only knows how to bet on Horse Racing and Pachinko even though you have Money!"

Critical hit! Mori Kogoro's Face darkened. Doesn't a Father need Face? It's okay in front of Kid Conan, but can't she save him some Face in front of his disciple, "Then you can study when we get back!"

"It will be too late then," Mouri Ran sat back, opened the Book, pressed down the Ballpoint Pen, and said seriously, "Tonight is the Final Competition of the Inter-Genre Singing Competition. I want to wait and see who wins the Champion in the end, and there's also a TV Drama I want to watch."

Chi Feichei: "..."

None of these Students around him are reliable.

Mouri Ran is—Go Out to play? Yes! Watch Television? Yes! Read Book? Read Book... Read Book, just try to squeeze in Time.

This counts as Effort.

Conan is—Elementary School Student's questions? Easy! Elementary School Student's Homework? Almost none! Go Out to play? That's a must! Solve a Case? That's top priority!

Koizumi Akako is—Final Exam? What's that? Not as important as being Queen! Summer Homework? What's that? Not as important as being Queen! What? What if I fail the Exam? Find a way to negotiate with the Teacher to solve it. If negotiation doesn't work, solve it with Magic!

Kuroba Kaito is—Homework? Recitation? Revision? What are those things? Never seen them before! Even class suspension doesn't exist, okay? Fail the Exam? It's impossible to fail. Exams are easy peasy, don't let it affect his thinking about which Big Gem to steal tonight!

According to the News from Feimo's Subordinates, every time they inadvertently see Kuroba Kaito during class time at Ekoda High School, Kuroba Kaito is either sleeping on the Table, or secretly performing Magic Trick to flirt with girls, or being caught by the Teacher and made to stand as punishment...

In the Back Seat, Conan acted cute with an innocent Face, "But, isn't it easy to get Motion Sickness when reading a Book in the Car?"

"No, Don't Worry," Mouri Ran said Smilingly, "My Semicircular Canals are very strong!"

"Actually, the pathogenesis of Motion Sickness is not clear at present," Chi Feichei corrected, "The vestibular organ hypersensitivity theory is just one of them. There are also sensory conflict theory, neural mismatch theory, hemodynamics change theory..."

Mori Kogoro raised his Hand and weakly held his Head.

Let him off!

And has this Kid forgotten that he is a Veterinarian?

He doesn't do anything a Veterinarian should do all day long, and he can even talk about Medical Knowledge for Humans in a systematic way. Doesn't his eldest disciple think he looks like a fake Veterinarian...?

"Patta!" Raindrop hit the Car Window.

Chi Feichei didn't continue speaking and turned on the Windshield Wiper.

Mori Kogoro raised his Eyes, "It's raining..."

"There are Umbrellas in the Car," Chi Feichei said, and added, "Three."

Conan chuckled dryly in his Heart. Going out with Chi Feichei really doesn't require worrying. He guessed that Chi Feichei was also carrying disposable gloves, evidence bag, emergency medicine, and maybe even a flashlight and other Things that might not be used...

Mouri Ran turned her Head to look at the Rain Threads falling Outside the window, and some unclear Scenes flashed in her Mind again.

Late at Night, in an unfamiliar Street, the Man wearing a Knit Cap stood in the Rain...

Afterwards, it was Kudo Shinichi getting wet in the Rain, with a slightly sad and slightly gentle expression...

But she couldn't remember what exactly happened at that Time.

"Ran," Conan turned his Head and Saw Mouri Ran frowning and spacing out. Seeing Mouri Ran regaining her senses and looking over, he pointed at his eyebrows and acted cute, "What's wrong? You've been frowning here just now, looking so serious..."

"Because there's a Problem I can't figure out no matter what..." Mouri Ran explained, opening the Book intending to continue reading, but as soon as she lowered her Head, she found her vision blurring.

Crap, Motion Sickness...

(End of Chapter)

Chapter 634 This subtle yet hardcore threat

Arriving at Chinatown, Chi Feichei drove the car into a Parking Lot. Seeing that it was raining and the temperature was dropping, he went to the Trunk to get a Coat and put it on.

"Do you want a Coat?"

"Ah? No, thank you." Mouri Ran took the Umbrella Chi Feichei offered, got out of the Car, paused for a moment, and felt a bit better.

"Conan?" Chi Feichei handed another Umbrella to Mori Kogoro.

"No, thank you," Conan said, "I'm not cold."

"Why don't you ask your Teacher?" Mori Kogoro grumbled, annoyed.

Chi Feichei: "You have a Coat."

Mori Kogoro, eyes blank: "Y-Yeah, you're right..."

Chi Feichei then said to Mouri Ran, whose Face was a little pale, "You could have told me on the way here; I brought Motion Sickness Medicine."

Mori Kogoro opened his Umbrella and turned his Head to look at Mouri Ran, confused. "Huh? Ran got carsick?"

Honestly, Uncle... Conan chuckled inwardly, looked up at Mouri Ran, and continued to play the Acting Cute Elementary School Student. "Brother Chi always brings Emergency Medicine when he Go Out, Sister Ran, if you feel unwell, you must Say so."

"Okay, don't worry, I'm already fine!" Mouri Ran said with a smile.

...In the Rain, the Hotel in Chinatown was still packed. Many people on the Street were coming and going with Umbrellas, making it look very lively.

"Vermilion Bird Gate..." Mouri Ran held her Umbrella and looked at the Map on the Meal Ticket.

Chi Feichei Glanced at it, noted down the Address and Shop Name, held his Umbrella to shield Conan, and went ahead to lead the way. "This way."

Mouri Ran followed him, "Brother Hissashi, have you been here before?"

"When I went to Boston Recently, I visited Boston's Chinatown, but I haven't been to Yokohama Chinatown before," Chi Feichei said as he led the way. "However, Vermilion Bird Gate is usually in the South. You can also Look at the pillars of the paifang. If they are red, it's not necessarily Vermilion Bird Gate, and if they are not red, it's definitely not Vermilion Bird Gate."

Mori Kogoro: "..." Forget tongue-twisters, he's about to get dizzy...

As they talked, the group arrived at Vermilion Bird Gate. Mouri Ran Looked at the red pillars. "It really is."

"Because in China culture, the Vermilion Bird is the Sacred Beast of the South, representing Fire," Conan followed Beside Chi Feichei, not needing him to hold an Umbrella, and simply started explaining, "Also, the eastern paifang corresponds to the Azure Dragon Sacred Beast, and the pillars are blue-green, like Blue-Purple, right? The western paifang corresponds to the White Tiger Sacred Beast, with white pillars, and the northern paifang corresponds to the Black Tortoise Sacred Beast, with Black pillars."

"But..." Mouri Ran lowered her Head to Look at the Meal Ticket. "The western paifang seems to be called Yanping Gate, not White Tiger Gate, and the northern paifang is called Black Tortoise Gate..."

Conan looked up at Chi Feichei: "..." Help, need some science explanation.

Chi Feichei returned a calm Gaze: "..." You know, you explain.

Conan: "..." Please don't try to communicate with your Gaze. Even if you are, please show a little Emotion. That calm Gaze is really hard to understand.

"Oh! Is that the Shop up ahead?" Mori Kogoro raised his Eyes and saw the signboard of the Roadside Hotel in front. His Eyes lit up, and he eagerly quickened his pace.

When they arrived at the Hotel, Mouri Ran presented the Meal Ticket, but was told...

"Sorry, but the Meal Ticket you have cannot be used," the Waiter said.

"But this is clearly the Name of This Restaurant..." Mouri Ran pointed at the Meal Ticket and asked the Waiter, not noticing the young Man walking past Beside her.

The young Man, wearing a Standing Collar Trench Coat and Sunglasses, saw there was an argument happening, turned his Head to See Mouri Ran, then turned back, squatted down Beside Conan, Reached Out, and gently tapped the Elementary School Student's Shoulder.

Conan turned his Head to Look at the Man in confusion: "?"

The young Man leaned closer to Conan's ear, pointed towards Chi Feichei and Mouri Ran standing together, and asked in a low voice, "Kid, are those two... a Couple?"

Conan's Heart suddenly turned sour, and he corrected him with a serious face. "Not at all. They are just Friends with a good Relationship. Brother Chi and Sister Ran are like siblings!"

If he hadn't shrunk, he could be standing with Ran, and they would definitely Look more like a Couple... And who is this Fellow? Why is he Gossiping about this?

The young Man sighed in relief. "That's good..."

Conan: "..." Why is this Fellow sighing in relief? Why? He's the one who should be relieved!

The young Man spoke again in a low voice, "Ran is your Older Sister's Name? It's a really nice Name. What's your Older Sister's full Name? Tell me secretly."

Conan Looked at Mouri Ran arguing with the Waiter, glanced at the young Man with Half-Moon Eyes, and said in a stiff Tone, "Big Brother, who are you?"

"You're asking me?" The young Man was taken aback, a smile appearing at the corner of his mouth. "Kid, listen up, my Name is..."

"What are you doing?" Mori Kogoro's voice, questioning the Waiter, interrupted the Man's Self-introduction. "You're not still picking and choosing Guests who can eat in your Shop, are you?"

"Of course not..." the Waiter quickly replied.

"I'll pay..." Chi Feichei's first Sentence was interrupted.

A tall and burly Waiter walked behind Mori Kogoro, Reached Out and placed his Hand on Mori Kogoro's Shoulder, and said in a deep voice, "Excuse me, sir, if you have an issue, could you please step outside to discuss it?"

Mouri Ran immediately thought the Waiter was trying to use Military Force to kick them out of the Shop. Her Face darkened, and she executed a beautiful Turning Kick, her toes stopping just in front of the tall Waiter's throat. "You'd better not think about using brute force to force us out!"

Over there, the young Man who was squatting with Conan was Speechless for a moment, and praised in a low voice, "Your Older Sister is really something."

After Mouri Ran finished speaking, she turned her Head again to Look at Chi Feichei with a serious face. "Brother Hissashi, this isn't about who's paying; it's about Business fraud, and we absolutely cannot compromise!"

Chi Feichei: "..." That's very reasonable.

"Ah, no..." The tall and sturdy Waiter was covered in Cold sweat, trying hard to force a smile, and explained, "It's like this, this Meal Ticket can only be used on Sunday or Holiday. It's marked on it..."

Chi Feichei took out the Meal Ticket Mouri Ran had given him and Looked at it. "There is a note, the Character is very small."

This is Just Like 'the final interpretation right belongs to This Restaurant'. They run Activity Lottery Promotions to attract people to the Shop, and after the lottery winners arrive, they find out it can only be used on a specific Date. They might not want to leave, so they just end up eating a Meal at full price.

But this note is a bit more conscientious than 'the final interpretation right belongs to This Restaurant'. At least the discount is real.

Conan also took out his Meal Ticket, lowered his Head to Look at it. "It really is marked..."

The tall and sturdy Waiter was still covered in sweat, looking at Mouri Ran. Could she please put her Foot down... He felt it would be very Dangerous to be kicked, and his Heart was very uneasy...

Mouri Ran awkwardly lowered her Foot and apologized to the Waiter along with Mori Kogoro.

"We're really Sorry."

"Sorry, I was really rude earlier."

The tall Waiter had already slipped away. The Waiter who had been responsible for reception before quickly said, "Ah, it's nothing. It's good that you understand."

The Sunglasses-wearing young Man who had been squatting with Conan earlier stood up, clapped his hands, and stepped forward to strike up a conversation. "Miss, you kicked really well just now. Would you do me the honor of going to see a Bruce Lee movie with me another day?"

"Huh?" Mouri Ran was Stunned.

Chi Feichei, standing Aside, said coldly, "I can send you to meet Bruce Lee."

Wearing Sunglasses and an Earring is fine. Odagiri Toshiya's previous style was even more flamboyant. He respects personal hobbies, but his Hairstyle and Beard are so similar to Lupin the 3rd that seeing him immediately reminds him of a Monkey. Wearing a T-shirt, Shirt, and Standing Collar Trench Coat in the middle of Summer—either he's physically ill, or he's mentally ill.

If this person were a bit more serious, looked a bit more reliable, a bit healthier and more positive, and had a better temper, like Shinde Tomoaki... he means the Real Shinde Tomoaki. Of course, Belmode playing him would also be fine. If he came up to chat, he wouldn't interfere too much.

Mori Kogoro, who was just about to Say something, choked and swallowed back what he was going to Say. Sending someone to meet Bruce Lee... cough, this subtle yet hardcore Threat is really... well done!

Conan was stunned for a moment and silently gave Chi Feichei a thumbs-up in his Heart. Indeed, Chi Feichei is the kind of person who has the Superpower to send people away with a single Sentence and silence a room with just one Sentence...

The Sunglasses Man Looked at Chi Feichei, and after a moment, he managed to choke out a Sentence, "You... you Don't Know who I am?"

Chi Feichei sized up the Man for a couple of seconds. "Don't Know..." Is this Fellow from another show? Could it be that this Fellow's Father is surnamed Li? Surname Li doesn't work here.

Sunglasses Man: "I'm Hama..."

Chi Feichei: "Not interested."

Sunglasses Man: "Are you sure you don't want to know..."

Chi Feichei: "No regrets."

After the cold three-word combo, the Sunglasses Man turned around and left, his Figure dashing. "Goodbye!"

"You haven't paid yet," Chi Feichei reminded the stunned Waiter.

Critical hit! Health Bar completely emptied.

The Sunglasses Man stopped in his tracks, turned back, his Sunglasses couldn't hide his resentful Gaze, but he soon laughed again. "Interesting! You're called..."

"I don't have time to play with you," Chi Feichei said.

The Sunglasses Man choked, turned around to pay the bill with the Waiter, and didn't forget to leave a Sentence for Chi Feichei. "I'll find out myself!"

He's just someone who wandered onto the wrong set, right? Chi Feichei was too lazy to respond and turned his Head to Mori Kogoro. "Teacher, since we're already here, there's no need to bother going back. I'll treat you today."

"Uh, okay..." Mori Kogoro nodded blankly. He needed to assess his disciple's Combat Power, not in terms of Military Force, which was already beyond question—definitely at the level of sending people to meet Bruce Lee...

Mouri Ran quickly said, "No, thank you. We said we'd treat..."

"Excuse me," a Man in a yellow Suit with a Moustache on his chin walked up to them, a very amiable smile on his round Face, and Looked towards a Table nearby. "If you don't mind, how about joining us at that Table over there? Of course, we'll treat."

Mouri Ran glanced at Chi Feichei and her Old Dad. No matter what, they didn't need others to treat them. Not to mention her unreliable Old Dad, Brother Hissashi definitely wouldn't be happy to take advantage like this. "No, thank you. We..."

"Please don't rush to refuse," the Man said with a smile, taking out a Business Card from his Pocket and handing it to Mouri Ran and Chi Feichei. "I'm a Movie Producer, and actually, there's a little Matter I'd like to discuss with you. Of course, with you too, sir."

Chi Feichei took the Business Card and Glanced at it. Shiro Kawabata. He remembered the Chinatown Case. A group at a Table wanted to invite Mouri Ran to be the Female Lead in a Movie, inviting the Mori trio to eat with them, and as a result, someone died. The victim was the Producer, and the Murderer was the Director among the other three. But... what does it have to do with him?

Mouri Ran saw that Chi Feichei wasn't in a hurry to refuse and seemed to be wondering why the other party was looking for them. She hesitated and Nodded. "O-Okay, then we'll join you."

Ps: The Sunglasses Man is Hama Mike, the protagonist of another TV Drama, "Private Detective Hama Mike," which was broadcast by the TV Station that was airing Conan at the time. It's really just a crossover, but that part is quite interesting—a Man with his own BGM...

Chapter 635 Conan: Requesting Backup!

A group of people sat down.

Mouri Ran said "Sorry" to the others before Shiro Kawabata started talking about serious business.

"It's like this, we are currently working on filming a Movie. This is the original author, Mr. Kyogo Kitaura, this is Director Mr. Kaizo Isozaki, and this is Assistant Director Mr. Motozura Ito," Shiro Kawabata introduced the other three people, and continued to Mouri Ran, "However, before the Movie starts filming, the Female Lead had an accident and can't perform. We can only find a new Female Lead. Miss, when we saw you at first glance just now, we all felt that you are very suitable to play the Female Lead. I wonder if you would be willing to participate in the Performance of this Movie?"

"Act in a Movie?" Mouri Ran hesitated a bit, "Me, is it okay for me?"

"No problem at all!" Shiro Kawabata said with certainty, "You are very suitable for that Role!"

"I think it's better to forget it. If she stutters her Dialogue, it will be very embarrassing!" Mori Kogoro, who was sitting aside, suddenly started to boast about himself, "Of course, if she is like her Old Dad, and what she says can make everyone present feel reasonable and well-argued, then that's another matter..."

Conan gave him Half-Moon Eyes. The one performing those Deduction Show was clearly him...

Mouri Ran was a little hesitant and asked again, "By the Way, putting me aside for now, do you have something to discuss with Brother Hissashi?"

"It's still the same thing, but it's another Movie that I am responsible for producing," Shiro Kawabata smiled and said to Chi Feichei again, "The Director of that Movie is the Director of 'Detective Samonji'! That is a series of Movies, probably there will be three. If the response is good, there will also be sequels and TV Drama. You can consider it carefully. He has been troubled for a long time because he can't find a suitable Male Lead, but it's really my Luck to meet you two today. If you can agree, that would be the best!"

"The Director of 'Detective Samonji'," Conan felt that these people were looking for the wrong person to film a Movie with Chi Feichei, but it didn't stop him from being curious, "Is the Movie he wants Brother Ike to film also a Detective Series?"

"No," Shiro Kawabata explained with a smile, "He plans to film the Onmyoji Series Movie. As the Male Lead of Onmyoji, he will deal with some legendary Monster. In fact, before he filmed Detective Movie, he also filmed Samurai Movie and Movies with legendary Monster. This time, he wants to try to fuse Folk Tales and Action..."

"That Movie will have some fight scenes. That Fellow is quite considerate of the actors. When it's time to arrange a Substitute Performer to go on stage, he will arrange a Substitute to go on stage," Kaizo Isozaki said with a cold and gloomy face, "However, since you have become an actor, you must be careful of accidentally losing your life on set."

Silence.

The Atmosphere froze for a moment, and everyone else's faces became more or less subtle.

Conan was curious, "Accidentally losing your life on set?"

"Hey, hey, I finally found suitable people, don't scare them away!" Shiro Kawabata laughed to smooth things over, and actively persuaded, "You two, as long as the Movie is a hit, you can enter the ranks of Movie Star, and you can also make Friends with many Celebrities. Not only Entertainer, but also Professional Baseball Player, Professional Football Player, Race Car Driver, Beauty Pageant Champion..."

Chi Feichei picked up his Teacup and took a sip of Tea, quietly listening to this Fellow trying to fool people.

A Movie making someone famous? This Situation does happen, but it requires good pre-Promotion, a hit Movie, the actor's own Performance being remarkable or having Audience appeal, and follow-up exposure and corresponding Arrangement.

The only ones willing to do this for Entertainer are Talent Agency that have signed contracts with Entertainer.

And it has to be Talent Agency that are optimistic and focus on training people, otherwise they can only wait.

However, Shiro Kawabata, as a producer, is more concerned about whether the Movie is a hit or not, and it is impossible for him to spend money to help actors with Promotion and build Reputation.

Even, there are some unscrupulous producers in the industry who, in order to make Movies a hit, do not hesitate to Sacrifice the Reputation of actors, create some bad Rumors, or make actors make some moves that will be criticized.

Shiro Kawabata only talked about the good aspects after success, but avoided talking about the difficulties in it, purely trying to fool people.

As for the Beauty Pageant Champion mentioned by Shiro Kawabata...

If he wants to invite them, he can completely gather all the champions of relevant competitions in recent years, set up a few Tables, and play Mahjong together.

No appeal at all.

Shiro Kawabata was still saying, "In addition, when filming Movies, you can also take the opportunity to travel to many countries such as America, Britain, France, Italy..."

"Ran, it seems not bad."

"Yes, you can Consider it!"

Conan and Mori Kogoro actively encouraged her.

If Mouri Ran becomes a big Star, she can travel everywhere, and make Friends with Yoko Okino, Professional Football Player and other people. In the future, when they see Mouri Ran On Television, they can also proudly say their Relationship, just thinking about it makes it worth Expectation.

As for Chi Feichei, there is no need to Consider it. If Chi Feichei wants to be a big Star, it won't be the turn of outside producers to win him over. His own Company can contact countless Resource.

"However, if you really want to film a Movie, you have to be mentally prepared!" Motozura Ito kindly reminded.

Kyogo Kitaura echoed lazily, "That's right, because some idiot producers, in order to Making Money, violate the spirit of the original work and add some meaningless ambiguous plots in the Movie."

Shiro Kawabata asked awkwardly, "Mr. Kitaura, you are not talking about me, are you?"

As soon as he heard 'ambiguous plots', Mori Kogoro immediately changed his mind, "Ran, I think it's better to forget it."

"Yes," Conan also hurriedly said, "Filming Movies is not Suitable for you at all!"

"That's right..." Mouri Ran said, blushing.

Shiro Kawabata turned his Head and asked Chi Feichei again, "Mr., would you like to Consider it?"

"The producer of that Movie is also Mr. Kawabata, right?" Chi Feichei asked.

"That's right," Shiro Kawabata smiled, "I am the Investor and producer. As long as you agree, I can give you Movie Pay far exceeding that of a Newcomer, how about it?"

"Sorry, I'm not interested in acting in Movies." Chi Feichei directly refused.

"Don't listen to what they Say..." Shiro Kawabata obviously didn't want to give up so easily. He had just Get Up when he bumped into Mouri Ran's elbow and just happened to knock over the Bowl of Soup.

Once Seeing that Shiro Kawabata's Denim Pants were soaked in a large area, Mouri Ran quickly Get Up, "Sorry!"

"It's okay, it was my own carelessness," Shiro Kawabata picked up the wet Towel at hand and wiped his Pants, smiling very amiably, "I'll just wipe it with a wet Towel!"

Mouri Ran squatted down, cleaned up the Dishes that had fallen Aside the Table, and asked the Waiter to bring new Dishes over. Suddenly, she felt dizzy again, and the Line of Sight in front of her eyes also blurred for a moment.

"It's indeed a little hot..." Conan approached Mouri Ran, Reach Out and tested the Temperature of Mouri Ran's Forehead, Turn Head and asked Chi Feichei, "Brother Chi, do you have any Cold Medicine with you?"

Chi Feichei touched his Pocket and took out a packet of Cold Remedy Powder, "Take it half an Hour Before Meal or After Meal."

"Ah... Thank You," Mouri Ran thanked him and took the powder, "Then I'll Take Medicine After Meal."

"Oh? Miss, are you feeling unwell?" Shiro Kawabata, who had wiped the Soup stains on his Pants dry, asked with concern.

"It's not that serious," Mouri Ran quickly smiled, "Just a little Cold."

"Then you must pay attention to your Body. Come, sit here," Shiro Kawabata very actively helped Mouri Ran to sit down Aside, and he also sat down on Chi Feichei's right hand side, "Let's Discuss it again... You can Say whatever you want to eat, I'll Help you put it on your Plate..."

"Uh, okay." Mouri Ran was too embarrassed to refuse with a cold Face.

Chi Feichei didn't get too involved, drinking Tea calmly, waiting for the meal to start.

Shiro Kawabata was just about to add Dish when he saw the two Dishes in front of him, and frowned, "Hey, didn't I Say don't order Century Egg and Crab Meat Scrambled Eggs?"

"What's wrong?" Mori Kogoro glanced at Shiro Kawabata.

This Fellow has bad intentions, he must be trying to deceive his Daughter into acting in Movies with ambiguous plots!

"I'm allergic to Eggs, so as long as I See any Dishes made with Eggs, I will feel nauseous," Shiro Kawabata explained, and smiled at Chi Feichei again, "But you can order whatever you want to eat, it's okay."

"This is fine." Chi Feichei said.

Don't look at how enthusiastic and friendly Shiro Kawabata is now. If any Newcomer who doesn't understand anything enters the Film Crew, they will find that people are fickle.

Shiro Kawabata broke out in a sweat. His Attitude is really indifferent, this one seems difficult to deal with.

"Then, Miss, you..."

Shiro Kawabata Look Towards Mouri Ran.

Just as he opened his mouth, Conan squeezed between the two of them, "I want to eat Curry Rice!"

Mouri Ran was taken aback, and soon smiled gently, "Conan, this is a Chinese Restaurant, there is no Curry Rice."

"But I just want to eat Curry Rice," Conan Acting Cute, "Let's go Home to eat!"

He didn't want Mouri Ran to continue contacting Shiro Kawabata.

What if Mouri Ran is persuaded by Shiro Kawabata and runs to act in that kind of messy Movie?

"You're really hopeless," Mouri Ran smilingly took a Xiaolongbao and gave it to Conan, "Then eat Xiaolongbao, you said you wanted to eat it very much last time, didn't you?"

"Uh..." Conan took the Xiaolongbao, helplessly casting a gaze for Help at Chi Feichei.

Requesting backup!

If Chi Feichei also proposes to leave, maybe...

Chi Feichei picked up the Small Dish in front of Conan and helped pour some Soy Sauce, "Is it enough?"

"Enough, enough." Conan had black lines all over his Face.

Hey, hey, he didn't want Chi Feichei to Help him get Seasoning, he's not a Children anymore, he can do it himself.

Mouri Ran watched smilingly, feeling a Sigh in her Heart, Brother Hichiji is still so indulgent towards Conan.

Chi Feichei turned the Table, just turning the Chili Oil to his front, the Table was suddenly turned, and the Chili Oil was turned away again.

Reach Out, turned the Table back, picked up the Spoon in the Chili Oil, and Look at Conan.

"How much do you want?"

"Uh... Thank You Brother Ike, but I can do it myself." Conan took the Small Dish in Chi Feichei's Hand and Reach Out to add Chili Oil to the Dish.

Chi Feichei helped hold down the Table.

Kaizo Isozaki over there: "..."

Can you be faster?

He had already put Poison under the corner of the Table, and was waiting for Shiro Kawabata to touch the Poison!
