Chapter 471: Gift from Nature
"Also, if you want to be a king, that won't work," Hassashi chatted with Fei Li while lying down, "You need to learn to Rule..."
"Rule?" Fei Li asked doubtfully.
"It's about having a large group of followers, letting them do things for you, that's what a King is," Hassashi said, "Actually, I don't really understand it either, Feimo told me this, Feimo is a Crow, it can also fly, but it's not as big as a Seagull."
Fei Li:"Then it's so small."
Hassashi:"But it's still very powerful, many Birds listen to it, it's a pity it went to America, otherwise we could have it teach you how to Rule..."
Fei Li:"America?"
Hassashi:"Feimo said, it's land on the other side of the Sea, very far away, Master found an Airplane to send it and its Subordinates over there."
Fei Li:"Why did it go to such a far Place?"
Hassashi:"Because..."
...
While waiting for Chi Feichei to eat, Hassashi and Fei Li talked about Tuanzi after talking about Feimo, and talked about Jubei after talking about Feimo, and also talked about the White Snake Dabai family and those Cats that jog with Chi Feichei at night.
Fei Li then told Hassashi about the Situation in the Sea, all kinds of Creatures, all kinds of interesting things.
Chi Feichei became interested, listening to Fei Li's description, occasionally reporting Humanity's Appellation for that Animal.
He didn't know much about Matters in the Sea either, listening to Fei Li talk about it was quite interesting.
For one meal, Chi Feichei ate for almost an Hour.
Fei Li waited for Chi Feichei to clear the Table before looking up at the Sky, "Master, that person died eight years ago today, let's quickly send the Things to that Child, he should feel a little happier."
Eight years today? Went to Sea and died at Sea?
Chi Feichei recalled the Case Conan encountered this time, the Fathers of the three Suspects all died today.
He got involved with the Case again?
"Fei Li, was the Ship that person took hit by someone?"
"Huh?" Fei Li was stunned for a moment, recalling, "Really? When I went over, he was already in the Sea, so I wasn't sure..."
"Yes, yes!"
Three Seagulls fell from the high sky chirping, chirping and chattering.
"Another Ship sank their Ship by hitting it, Intentionally! Intentionally!"
"That Man who used a Ship to hit someone else's Ship must be dead now."
"Tonight, when it just got dark, he was made drunk, then entangled with a Fishing Net and placed in a Sand Pit, and then a Ship was pressed on top of him, the Seawater is already rising, he will definitely be drowned."
"It was done by the Child of one of those three people from back then..."
Seemingly all Seagulls like to spoil Cases.
Now that's good, Chi Feichei recalled the entire Plot again.
Fei Li looked up and asked, "Is it the Child I Say?"
"Seems like no and seems like yes..."
"The sky is too Black, I didn't see clearly..."
"I didn't see clearly either..."
The three Seagulls couldn't quite distinguish.
"No."
Chi Feichei gave Fei Li a definite Answer.
He couldn't even remember the Names of the three Suspects in this Case, but the Culprit would go to the Dining Room early to create an Alibi, and didn't go to worship the Father who died at Sea eight years ago.
The 'Child' that Fei Li Say would go to worship every year, so that's not the Culprit.
The Problem to Consider now is that a Human has already died, if he runs over there again, leaving Traces on the Beach, he will Probably be treated as a Suspect.
And his appearance will Probably also make that 'Child' become a Suspect because of Time or other reasons.
But...
With Conan around, Matters will come to light sooner or later, being under Suspicion for a while doesn't seem to have much impact.
...
The Cemetery behind the Temple is near the Cliff, a lonely Light hung under the Eaves, shining with dim Lamplight, swaying in the Sea Breeze.
A Man with dark Skin and a tall and strong build sat in front of a Tombstone, listening to the sound of Sea Waves crashing at the foot of the Cliff, Whispering to the Tombstone.
"Tonight, it's just Myself coming..."
"This year has been pretty good, still the same Old Man Place..."
"Arakami uses Ships to pull Nets, catching all the Fish near the Coast, we are Coast Patrolmen on the Beach, preventing people from drowning, and also cleaning up the Garbage left by tourists..."
"We decided to talk to that Fellow Arakami, those two went ahead, I came to have a chat with you, and will go to find them later..."
A Seagull skimmed across the sky, calling softly.
In front of the tomb, a circle of Incense burned more than halfway, wisps of White Smoke rose up and were scattered by the Wind.
The Man smiled, looked up at the Pitch Black Night Sky, "You used to nag me, Old Man, about being verbose, telling me to abide by Nature's Rules, not to be greedy, but, the greedy Fellows are still living a prosperous life, while you are gone, you were the most powerful Fisherman back then..."
He suddenly remembered that half a year before his Father had the Accident, he was again nagging him about the so-called Rules.
'Old Dad... you always catch the most Fish, if people Knowledge that you are always nagging about not being greedy, you will be seen as hypocritical!'
'Idiot! What relation does this have with how much you harvest? What I'm Saying is, when you catch Small Fish, remember to release them back into the Sea, This Is the Rule! Animals with Spirituality cannot be Damaged, Afterwards don't catch Whales, This Is my Rule!'
His Father patted him on the back with a laugh at that time, actually making his back hurt from the pat, said proudly, 'Shinji, your Old Dad is so powerful, Just because I am a person who received Nature's Gift!'
"Narcissistic Old Man boss, if you really received Nature's Gift, how could you have been lost at sea..." Nezu Shinji watched the Incense circle that was about to burn to the End, sighed, Get Up patted his Clothes, and when he was about to leave, the corner of his eye suddenly caught a Black Shadow in the Rear, startled, he quickly Turned AroundLooked Go To.
Behind him, a Monster person stood at some unknown time.
The Monster person was tall and large, wearing a Cloak that was Black on the back and White in the front, wearing a Hood, the Mask under the Hood was also Black, and there were two White spots on the cheeks of the Face.
Nezu Shinji was so frightened that he let out a low growl, closed his eyes, and threw an Old Man fist.
"Pa!"
The Fist was easily Grabbed.
"I'm bringing back your Father's Remains." Chi Feichei changed to a gentle Male voice and stated his purpose.
Pretending to be a Ghost monster has Risks.
If you encounter this kind of person who directly attacks when frightened, if you are not skilled, you really can't handle it.
Nezu Shinji was stunned for a moment, opened his eyes and sized up the Monster person in front of him, "My... my Father?"
"Come with me." Chi Feichei released the Hand that Grabbed Nezu Shinji's Fist, and Turned Around to the Cliff side.
Nezu Shinji was stunned for a moment, didn't hesitate much, and followed.
This Monster person's voice was very gentle, making people feel full of goodwill, he Decided to check.
Although his Father was buried in the Sea, he Don't Think he could find the Remains back, most of those buried in this Cemetery are Fishermen from this area, and there are also many cenotaphs, But...
He still couldn't help but hold a glimmer of Hope, this Monster person quietly appeared behind him, just like a Ghost monster, what if it's true?
He was confident in himself, running shouldn't be a Problem, this is also the Place where he grew up since he was a child, people in the Village all know him, why would he be afraid of a Monster person?
Chi Feichei walked to the Cliff edge, turned his head to look at the two bags beside him, still speaking in a gentle voice, and said, "The bag on the left contains your Father's Remains, and partial Remains of his two Companions, not all of which were recovered, the bag behind... This Is from my Small Li to you."
"Small, Small Li?" Nezu Shinji was a little confused.
"Ten years ago today, Small Li wanted to approach the Coast to see Humanity, and happened to encounter your Father returning from fishing," Chi Feichei turned to look at the Sea, "It was your Father who warned Small Li about the rising tide, and also drove Small Li away from the Coast, saving Small Li from being stranded on the Beach, for the next two years, whenever your Father went out to Sea, Small Li kept watch..."
Nezu Shinji was stunned in place.
Ten years ago?
He remembered that it was roughly from that time onwards, his Father could catch a lot of Fish every time he went out to Sea, and it was also around that time that he was called the most skilled Fisherman.
At that time, he would also go fishing with his own Father, but he had never seen any Small Li...
Don't Think, wait, he remembered a few times, his Father would Whisper to the shimmering Sea Surface.
'You're here again...'
'Aren't you leaving here to Play somewhere else...'
'Won't you meet me? Are you afraid of me? I didn't want to Damage you that night... but never mind, it's better for you to hide, then just obediently hide then...'
'The tide will rise tonight, don't get close to the Coast...'
At that time, he thought it was just a quirk developed by his Own Old Dad out of boredom.
It's terrifying to think about!
So what exactly is that 'Small Li'?
Chi Feichei continued in a gentle tone, "Eight years ago, on that stormy night, your Father and his Companion took a Ship out to Sea..."
Nezu Shinji came back to his senses, raised his eyes and stared at the Monster person Stationed on the Cliff side.
"Small Li encountered an Undercurrent in the Sea and couldn't get there in time, by the time she arrived, your Father was Already dead..." Chi Feichei paused, "She was very sad, and has always wanted to return your Father's Remains, and also to give you some Things she found on the Seabed, Hoping you can Life well, But she can't approach the Coast, and you haven't gone to Sea again, so she asked me to help deliver them today."
After all, This Is someone else's Old Dad's Matter, he felt it necessary to let Nezu Shinji know the whole story, and also Hope Nezu Shinji cherishes this Gift.
Orcas rarely proactively Attack Humans, he also hoped that a Legend of an Orca repaying kindness could spread, even if only one Fisherman insists on not hunting Orcas, that would be considered continuing this reciprocal kindness.
"Then what exactly is Small Li..." Nezu Shinji already had a vague Guess in his heart."
Rising tide near the Coast causes stranding, helping his Father catch Fish, the Monster person's Black and White Cloak and Mask...
Orca in the Sea!
Could this Monster person be... an Orca who has become a spirit?
"I Don't Hope she gets close to the Coast again." Chi Feichei ignored Nezu Shinji's probing and walked forward.
"Wait..."
Nezu Shinji watched as the other party directly stepped out of the Cliff edge, subconsciously stepped forward, Just because the Hand he extended quickly stopped in mid-air.
The other party didn't fall straight down, but flew out diagonally.
In the dim Night scene, the Cloak was blown by the Wind, the Black side hidden in the Black Night, only a strip of swaying White was visible, heading towards the distant Sea Surface.
Nezu Shinji was stunned for a moment, then regaining his senses, he quickly called out, "Did my Father really have an Accident when he went out to Sea back then?"
"No."
In the Black Night, the gentle Male voice's reply faintly echoed, quickly fading into the Night Breeze.
Nezu Shinji stood at the Cliff edge.
This Answer was not unexpected to him.
Eight years ago, a sudden Storm hit, his Father heard that Arakami had gone out to Sea and not returned, so he and his Companion took a Fishing Boat out to search.
Afterwards, Arakami returned, the Fishing Boat his Father was on was washed ashore by Sea Waves, the Ship's hull was damaged, but on the Ship that clearly hadn't sunk, there was no one...
It was that Fellow Arakami who Intentionally drove a Ship to ram the Ship his Father was on, knocking the Human into the Sea!
(End of Chapter)
Chapter 472 Nezu Shinji: It's Really Too Hard Being Human
On the Sea, Fei Li, biting a steel cable, swam in the Sea.
The other end of the steel cable was tightly wrapped around Chi Feichei's waist in mid-air.
Seeing that he was about to fall to the Sea Surface, a Cube object flew out from under Chi Feichei's Cloak, rapidly inflating and expanding in the air, providing cushioning for Chi Feichei who was falling towards the Sea Surface.
After Chi Feichei landed on the Inflatable Cushion, he untied the steel cable from his waist.
The reason he hadn't fallen off the Cliff earlier was entirely because he had been pulled over by Fei Li, it was as if Fei Li had flown a Human Kite.
Originally, he also wanted to try landing on the Sea Surface without cushioning to see if anything would happen to him, to see if 'Conan Science' of this period had overcome Newton, but in the end, he chose to give up trying.
Preserving life is the priority.
...
On the Cliff.
Nezu Shinji stood for a while, feeling a bit more awake, squatted down, and opened the sack on his left.
The Bag was still wet. Living by the Seaside year-round, he knew just from the scent that it was definitely Seawater.
Inside were messy Skeleton, and some Fabric scraps.
Among them was a piece of Clothes that was still relatively intact. Soaked in Seawater, it had lost its original Color, but in his Memory, the Vest his Father wore underneath when going out to Sea was of this Style.
Reaching out to touch it, there were some unnatural Wrinkle at the lower corner of the Clothes.
That was when he was seven years old, feeling bored at Home alone, wanting to learn to mend Clothes like his Old Dad, he took his Old Dad's Clothes, forcibly cut a slit, and then sewed it up. Because his craftsmanship was poor, a perfectly good piece of Clothes, the lower corner was full of Wrinkle...
Because of this, he achieved the accomplishment of 'being chased and beaten by his Old Dad, being able to run two laps around the Beach at the age of seven'. He wasn't beaten much, but he almost ran himself to exhaustion on the Beach.
In the end, not only did he have to rely on his own Father to carry him Home, but his Foot was also Soreness and he limped for several days.
Nezu Shinji looked at the other Fabric scraps again.
Uncle Yoshizawa, who liked to tease him, clearly made a living fishing at Sea, but seemingly never tanned, and liked to wear a white Short-sleeved shirt to proudly show off to others...
Also, Uncle Shimojo, who would always have a drink with his Old Dad every time he came back from fishing, once boasted when drunk that his new Clothes were bought by his Son. Afterwards, his Father put on the Clothes he had sewn badly, patted his Chest and said this was his Amulet for going out to Sea in the future...
Every Fabric scraps could evoke countless Memory.
Nezu Shinji quickly closed his eyes to avoid a grown Man bursting into Tears, and said in a relaxed Tone, "Welcome back! Alright, let me Check the Gift they gave me. Later, I'll go and Say So to them, and then we'll relocate you... guys..."
As soon as the sack on the right was opened, the upper layer was full of Jewelry and two Gold Bar buried in the Jewelry, As For the bottom...
No Need to Look, No Need to Doubt, this is a sack of Jewelry and Gold!
Nezu Shinji still couldn't help but Reach Out and tap it, slightly confirming his guess, his Mind was a bit muddled.
He didn't understand the quality or Level of the Jewels, but such a big Sack, plus the Gold Bar, selling it would definitely be enough for him to eat for a lifetime...
He needed to calm down a bit...
Hmm, first send the Things back, then go find two Little Friend, Consider how to use this Treasure on the way, and after arriving, he can also find that Fellow Arakami to have a quarrel with to ease his mind...
This Gift is really too impactful!
...
At 8:52 PM, Nezu Shinji arrived at the agreed Dining Room, and found two Little Friend and a Short Hair Girl sitting together, eating and drinking while chatting and laughing.
"Think more positively..." Suzuki Sonoko smiled and patted Yoshizawa Yuta's Shoulder beside her, "For a Fisherman to die at Sea, it should be the thing they wished for most!"
"This elder sister Say So really well!" Shimojo Noboru said drunkenly, laughing heartily.
Since she wasn't exposed to the scorching sun, Haibara Ai didn't suffer from heatstroke and Return to Room to rest first, but was at the next table, Speechless watching with the other Child.
Mouri Ran couldn't bear to watch anymore, stepped forward and pressed on Suzuki Sonoko's Shoulder, "Sonoko, it's really rude of you to Say So!"
"Huh?" Suzuki Sonoko looked blank.
"She wouldn't have drunk Liquor with those two people too, would she?" Conan muttered Speechless.
"It Seemingly looks like she drank quite a bit." Haibara Ai said in a low voice.
She's a real man!
"It's okay, it's okay~" Yoshizawa Yuta explained with a smile, "It's also their fault. Knowing that a Storm was coming, they still insisted on going out to Sea to fish, which is why that kind of Accident happened..."
"That's not some Accident!" Nezu Shinji stepped forward, thinking of that pile of Remains, thinking of the Answer given by that weird Man, thinking of Arakami who was still living happily now, some Anger rose to his head, and he said with a sullen Face, "The Ship that our three Father were on was sunk by that Fellow Arakami ramming it with a Ship!"
Yoshizawa Yuta looked at his Little Friend with a fierce Face, and said with a helpless smile, "Hey hey, Shinji, why are you still bringing up this Matter..."
"You're really stubborn..." Shimojo Noboru also said drunkenly.
Nezu Shinji wasn't in a hurry to explain. There were still Outsider present, so it was inconvenient to talk about the Matter of him encountering the 'Orca monster'. He looked around, "Where's that Fellow Arakami? Hasn't he come yet?"
"It's already 8:53 PM," Yoshizawa Yuta looked at his Watch, "He wouldn't have gotten drunk alone and already gone to sleep, would he?"
"I'll Call to wake him up!" Nezu Shinji took out his Mobile Phone and dialed.
He must scold that Fellow tonight!
"It's useless!" Shimojo Noboru said casually, "We already Called just now, no one answered..."
This Phone Call went through.
No one spoke on the other end, only the rustling Sound of Waves was heard, and then it was quickly hung up.
After Shimojo Noboru and Nezu Shinji sobered up, a Group of people went out to look for Aramaki Yoshiichi, but found Aramaki Yoshiichi's Corpse on the Beach, caught in a Net and already turned cold.
More than forty minutes Afterwards, the Shizuoka Prefectural Police arrived, and carried out Crime Scene lockdown and Investigation.
Inspector Yokomizo, with his coral-colored Head, led the team, and once again met a Group of familiar people.
Whether it was Suzuki Sonoko, Mouri Ran, or Doctor Agasa, they were all old acquaintances of his. It's just that the three Kid beside Doctor Agasa were a bit unfamiliar, not the two Naughty children he was familiar with.
The three Child were quite proactive in Help.
Ayumi pointed at Shimojo Noboru, "That thin Elder Brother arrived Afterwards 7:10!"
Genta Turn Head to look at Yoshizawa Yuta, whose Body Shape was similar to his, "This slightly chubby Elder Brother arrived at 8 o'clock sharp!"
"And this Elder Brother with tanned Skin arrived at the Dining Room around 8:50!" Mitsuhiko pointed at Nezu Shinji, whose Face was stiff.
Inspector Yokomizo sized up the three Child, and then sized up Doctor Agasa, "Doctor Agasa, these three Child don't look like you at all..."
"Ah, no," Doctor Agasa quickly waved his Hand and explained, "They are Child living in my Vicinity, because summer vacation has arrived, their Parents Request me to take them out for Travel."
"Then," Inspector Yokomizo looked around, "Those two Weird Child also came?"
Doctor Agasa Turn Head to look at Conan and Haibara Ai beside the Corpse, "Yes, they also came."
Conan squatted in front of the Corpse, frowned and Observation the Trace on the Corpse, looked at it, Turn Head and secretly looked at Nezu Shinji over there, whose Expression was stiff.
Weird...
From the moment he Saw the Corpse, that Man's Face had been very strange...
Not the nervousness or guilt that a Culprit would have, but rather like he had remembered something and was frightened.
Nezu Shinji was uneasy, looked at the Corpse, and quickly shifted his Line of Sight.
Panicked, scared.
Could it be that Orca monster did it?
After the other party left the Cliffside, they found Arakami, caught Arakami in a Fishing Net, threw him into the Sea to drown, and then sent the Corpse back to the Beach. This was entirely possible.
Was it to avenge his Father?
No, that's not right. Arakami goes out to Sea to fish. If the Orca monster wanted to attack, Arakami would have died long ago...
No, no, that Orca monster said 'Xiao Li' couldn't get close to the Coast. Maybe 'Xiao Li' hasn't become a Monster yet, or 'Xiao Li' hasn't gotten close to the Coast yet, so his Father's Corpse was only returned today.
In other words, previously that Orca monster wasn't in this Sea area, or also couldn't get close to the Coast, or maybe it was only today that it agreed to help 'Xiao Li'. Then, today that Orca monster sent the Corpse over, and by the way, attacked Arakami and avenged his Father, that's also possible.
Moreover, Arakami being caught in a Fishing Net, it's like expressing - 'This is revenge from a Creature of the Sea'. Maybe Arakami has been too reckless in the past two years and Offend the Orca monster...
Should he provide Clue to the Police Officer?
Not Say So? Then the Police will not know what Outcome the Investigation will reveal. No matter how bastard Arakami is, he is Human like him. If Arakami was killed by a Monster, and he remained Silence, it Seemingly wouldn't be very kind.
Say So? No, the Orca monster returned the Remains and gifted him Wealth. If it really killed Arakami, it would also be considered avenging his Old Dad. Regardless of whether this was the Orca monster's intention or 'Xiao Li's' intention, they have always been kind to him, and this Favor is still very heavy.
Not Say So? That Seemingly won't work either. Haven't many Legends said that once a Monster starts Murder, it's hard to stop? If the Orca monster becomes out of control and brutal in the future because of Murder, what will happen if it harms the villagers in this area? A Monster that kills people has appeared, shouldn't he remind other Human?
Say So? No, if the Orca monster won't lose control, just because of his unfounded worry, he betrays the Orca monster, that would be too unkind. Moreover, the Orca monster is so strong. If it resents him because of his betrayal, Favor turns into hatred, he's doomed. He's all alone, death is death, but what if it triggers some kind of change, For Example, the Orca monster starts to hate Humanity and Attack Humanity, then he will become a sinner...
Not Say So? Say So? Not Say So? Say So? ...
Nezu Shinji's heart was tangled and uneasy. A dark-skinned, fierce-faced burly Man was actually so tangled that his Face turned pale and he looked lost and dejected.
It's Really Too Hard Being Human...
Over there, Inspector Yokomizo picked up Conan and took him to the side. Seeing Haibara Ai obediently moving away from the Corpse on her own, he nodded in satisfaction, and warned Conan, "Don't touch the Corpse randomly, don't disturb the Police Investigation!"
"Yes~!" Conan pretended to be a good Babies, and after being put down by Inspector Yokomizo, he didn't look at the Corpse again, Go To Nezu Shinji, looked up and acted cute in a childish voice, "Elder Brother, are you feeling unwell? Your Face has been looking very bad since Just Now!"
"Ah?" Nezu Shinji exclaimed softly.
His Face looks very bad? Wouldn't the Police see something?
"Or is it..." Conan looked up and stared at Nezu Shinji, the corners of his mouth raised, "Elder Brother, do you have something you want to tell the Police, but are hesitating whether or not to Say So?"
Inspector Yokomizo and others immediately Turn Head to look at Nezu Shinji.
(End of Chapter)
Chapter 473 Inspector Yokomizo: And I'm a Shark Monster!
"Orca monster..." Bearing the probing gazes of others, including the Police Officer, Nezu Shinji finally couldn't withstand the Pressure and said nervously, "This might have been done by an Orca monster! Although... although... I'm not sure..."
"Huh?" Inspector Yokomizo, with Half-Moon Eyes, turned his head to ask Shimojo Noboru and Yoshizawa Yuta, "Do you have anyone here with such a Weird Name as 'Orca monster'?"
"Uh, no..." Yoshizawa Yuta said blankly.
"Come on, how could anyone have such a Weird Name?" Shimojo Noboru looked Speechless.
"Not a Name, it's an Orca Monster!" Nezu Shinji explained, "He returned our Father's Remains before, and also sent me a large bag of Jewelry and Gold, he said my Father was kind to a female Orca, so he did that! Then it's possible he Killed Arakami!"
"O-Orca monster?" Mouri Ran hugged Suzuki Sonoko's Arm tightly.
"Yeah, he was wearing a black and white Cloak, and wearing a black and white Mask that looked like an Orca face, I didn't see his Face, and I don't know his Name..." Nezu Shinji was a little incoherent, "When I was sweeping my Father's grave in the Cemetery, he suddenly appeared behind me, and after giving me the Things, he flew from the Cliff towards the distant Sea..."
Mouri Ran hugged Suzuki Sonoko's Arm even tighter.
Nezu Shinji hesitated for a moment, "Although I feel he is a Monster with a gentle Personality, But..."
"But this way of using a Fishing Net to trap people, it's almost like saying," Suzuki Sonoko said in a deep voice, "Let you Humanity also taste the Feeling of being trapped by a Fishing Net and being hunted..."
"Ah!" Mouri Ran screamed in fright.
"Alright!" Inspector Yokomizo interrupted with a dark line on his forehead, "Please don't interfere with the Police's Investigation, okay?"
Orca monster? And I'm a Shark monster!
"What I said is all true!" Nezu Shinji stepped forward, tightly grasped Inspector Yokomizo's hands, and stared at Inspector Yokomizo, "Police Officer, you have to believe me! The Remains and the Treasure given to me are still at my Home, I can take you to see!"
Inspector Yokomizo was startled by Nezu Shinji, looking at Nezu Shinji's panicked, uneasy, and hesitant Expression, he sweated a bit, and comforted him, "Mr. Nezu, if you feel unwell, you can go over there and rest for a while."
Two Police Officer standing aside stepped forward, preparing to take Nezu Shinji to the other side.
Nezu Shinji was pulled away, his face flushed red, "Police Officer, you have to believe me, I'm not Lying, there really is an Orca monster..."
Conan lowered his head in thought.
Mr. Nezu was just frightened by the Corpse and recalled some Legend?
It's not impossible, some people look strong, but are fragile inside.
Of course, it's also possible that someone is pretending to be a ghost and then Killed Mr. Aramaki...
Here, the Investigation continued.
Over there, Shimojo Noboru and Yoshizawa Yuta accompanied Nezu Shinji to sit aside and rest.
Nezu Shinji was still persuading his two Little Friend, "What I said is true! If you don't believe me, you can come to my Home to Check together..."
"Alright, Shinji, we need to cooperate with the Police Investigation, we can't leave here for now." Yoshizawa Yuta said with a smile, sighing in his heart. How could his usually so strong Little Friend suddenly go crazy?
Shimojo Noboru was also getting a headache from Nezu Shinji's fussing, "Let's go to your Home after the Investigation is over, how about that? Shinji, haven't you been resting well recently, or is the Pressure too much?"
"You've been like this since childhood, you like to keep Things to yourself," Yoshizawa Yuta complained a bit, "If there's really any difficulty, it's okay to tell us, we are all Friends who grew up together..."
Nezu Shinji was Expressionless, staring blankly at the Sea.
He had already told the Truth, why didn't anyone believe him?
Go to his Home to Check, wouldn't they know he wasn't Lying?
Never Mind, it seems it can't be explained for now, and he was too lazy to talk nonsense anymore.
...
Not far away, Clue after Clue was discovered by Conan, and some Clue even came to him on its own initiative.
Before long, Conan sorted Things out in his mind and deduced the general Crime Method, and couldn't help but turn his head to look at the three people over there.
Still lacking Evidence... uh, but Mr. Nezu's State looks really bad.
Alas, these Humans, no matter how powerful or strong they appear, their hearts are soft.
Doctor Agasa bent down and leaned close to Conan's ear, "Hey, Shinichi, there's no further development in the Case Details, I think we should also..."
"Idiot, if we go back, there will be no Play to watch, next it will be up to you to explain the Truth of the Matter, Detective Agasa!" Conan said in a low voice with a confident Expression, reaching out to touch the Bow Tie Voice Changer in his Pants Pocket, but found...
He seemed to have forgotten the Bow Tie Voice Changer in the Hotel Room!
There was no Method, so he could only let Doctor Agasa memorize the Deduction Content for Reasoning.
Conan and Haibara Ai helped from the side, stumbling and bumbling, and finally explained clearly that the Criminal was Shimojo Noboru, the Crime Method, and the Evidence.
Nezu Shinji didn't mention the 'Orca monster' matter again, Watched Leave as Shimojo Noboru was taken away by the Police, turned his head to Yoshizawa Yuta and said, "Yuta, you go back first, I want to sit here for a while."
"You must not do anything rash!" Yoshizawa Yuta said worriedly.
Nezu Shinji was Speechless, chuckled and reached out to punch Yoshizawa Yuta's Shoulder, "What are you talking about? I'm not the kind of person who would do stupid Things, I just want to be alone for a while."
When he was frustrated to the point of Speechless just now, he also calmly thought about it, it's best not to publicize the matter of him getting a large sum of Wealth, otherwise it would attract Trouble.
As for the Orca monster matter, he guessed that no matter how much he said, no one would believe it, and maybe they would even suspect that his Wealth was robbed from somewhere else.
Since he has a good Relationship with his two Little Friend, he can wait until he has dealt with the Wealth before helping them out.
As for the Remains of their three Father, Ships can be arranged to pretend to be accidentally discovered and salvaged.
Besides, the Orca monster didn't commit Murder, it's a bit unkind for him to betray it, so he shouldn't let people bother it anymore...
After everyone else left, Nezu Shinji stood on the Beach, looking at the Pitch Black Sea Surface in the distance, and said in a low voice, "Sorry, I misunderstood you before, I will make the people here stop whaling, after I deal with that Wealth, I will take out more than half of the Money to do this, I need to Consider the specific Solution again, and I will continue to do it in the future... Thank You, and thank you Fei Li too."
The Sea Wave still lapped against the Beach with a crash, and no Reply came from the dim Sea.
Nezu Shinji didn't expect to get a Reply either, waited for a while, turned around and walked towards Yoshizawa Yuta who was waiting in the distance, "Okay, don't wear such a long face, I'm fine!"
"Really? You..."
"Really fine, it's just that I've been dreaming of an Orca monster recently, he asked me to go out to Sea to find my Father's Remains, I'm thinking of finding a Ship to go out to Sea in a couple of days to Check, maybe this time I can really find them!"
"You haven't been out to Sea for many years, have you?"
"It's okay."
"Then about Aden's matter..."
"Let's go to the Police Department to See him again tomorrow..."
...
Early the next Day.
Chi Feichei woke up comfortably after a good night's sleep, got up and Washed Up, contacted Da Shan Mi, and asked Da Shan Mi to arrange for someone to send a batch of Equipment over.
Checked the Email, there was News from Non-Ink.
Non-Ink said that the Stronghold had been found, and the Communication Tool had been moved over, and the Communication Tool would be connected to Power Supply in the next two days.
Chi Feichei Replied to Emails from all parties, when he went out, Hissashi was already chatting with Fei Li on the Deck.
"Master..." Fei Li saw that it was Chi Feichei who came out, and said excitedly, "I want to go find Elder Brother Non-Ink! I want to let it teach me how to Rule!"
Why is there another one who wants to run to America?
Chi Feichei put the Book and Laptop he brought out with him on the Table, "Do you know the route?"
"Umm..." Fei Li was silent for a moment, "Don't Know..."
"I can arrange for a Freighter to depart from Izu and go to Massachusetts, let you follow the Freighter from afar, and then let Non-Ink go to the corresponding Port to find you," Chi Feichei sat down on the Beach Chair and analyzed, "But Massachusetts is on the US East Coast, it will take about 40 days for the Freighter to depart and arrive, by the time you arrive, Non-Ink will have Finished and returned, why not wait for it to return, and I will bring it to find you again."
Hissashi: "..."
That makes sense, but Master is really good at killing the Atmosphere, as soon as he comes out and says a few cold Words, the originally lively chatting Atmosphere instantly turns to ice.
Fei Li also sweated a bit, "Then... then I'll wait for it to come back..."
"Yes, you play with Hissashi, and cooperate with me to do an Experiment later," Chi Feichei Turned on Computer, "I'll deal with the Matters at hand first."
"Okay~" Fei Li responded obediently, turned his head and asked Hissashi in a low voice, "Has Master always been like this?"
"Yes," Hissashi thought for a while, and also lowered his voice to Teasing, "There are even people who say that Master can't find a Companion because he always brings me along, I think it's clearly Master's Reason, when getting along with a Girl, he should be more Gentle, but Master always likes to destroy the Atmosphere..."
Chi Feichei raised his eyes and stared.
They don't even go a little further away to Whispering, do they think he's deaf? Or do they think he doesn't exist?
Hissashi noticed a cool gaze falling on him, without looking up to confirm, he immediately changed his Words, "Of course, there are also Girls who like Master..."
"Hehe, I also like Master." Fei Li said immediately.
Chi Feichei withdrew his gaze and used the Computer to organize the Intelligence sent by Saki Midorikawa.
Hissashi breathed a sigh of relief and chatted with Fei Li about other Matters of Humanity.
A little after 1 PM, the Equipment Chi Feichei wanted was delivered to the Vicinity.
After Chi Feichei asked Fei Li to avoid it, he had the Ship sail over, had people move the Equipment onto the Yacht, and after dismissing the people, he let Fei Li resurface.
"Master, what is this?" Hissashi looked at the pile of Machine curiously.
"I want to figure out how Fei Li Communicates with other Creature." Chi Feichei was organizing the Power Cord.
"Isn't it learning the Language of other Creature?" Hissashi asked in Doubt.
Fei Li also rested his head on the Deck, looking curiously at the pile of Machine.
"I want to confirm it."
Chi Feichei pulled the Power Cord, connected the Machine to the Generator in the Yacht, fussed around for a long time, and then returned to the Deck, and installed the Recording Equipment.
He was just suddenly curious and wanted to Research whether this was science, 'Conan science', or metaphysics Reason.
"Okay, Fei Li, use Snake Language, just Say something." Chi Feichei stared at the Display Screen of the Sound Wave Detection Machine.
"Um... Hissashi is so small, is this okay?" Fei Li said.
Two Sound Wave!
Chi Feichei looked at the Sound Wave detected by the Machine, a little surprised.
Fei Li actually emitted Infrasound and Ultrasonic Waves at the same time just now, and the Waveband displayed seemed to have some kind of Pattern.
"Continue, talk about Hissashi's Matters." Chi Feichei said again.
Fei Li thought for a while and started to Say, "Hissashi is very cute, much cuter than other Small Snake, and told me a lot of interesting Things, if other Animal bully Hissashi, I will also protect it, if it wants to eat Fish, I will also Help it Grab..."
Hissashi was silent, a little embarrassed, but Fei Li is so nice~!
Begging for Monthly Pass to smash my face...
[End Mark]
(End of Chapter)
Chapter 474 Immersed in Research, Unable to Extricate Oneself
Chi Feichei discovered that every time Fei Li mentioned 'Hissashi', the displayed graph was the same. He cut out that section of the curve and used equipment that emits Ultrasonic Waves and Infrasound to play it, simulating Fei Li's sound, "Hissashi, listen to this."
Played it twice.
"Hissashi, did you hear anything?"
Chi Feichei could confirm that he couldn't hear this Machine-synthesized, imitated sound.
"Yes," Hissashi said, "The mechanical sound was calling my name, it called it twice."
"Wait a moment..." Chi Feichei then extracted the recorded sound of Fei Li and played it.
"Hissashi..."
"Fei Li's sound," Hissashi confirmed, "It's calling my name."
"Mhm..."
Chi Feichei nodded. This time, he heard it too.
Continued the experiment for a while, then switched to using two Seagulls to cooperate with the experiment.
After the Seagull experiment was done, he had Fei Li find a Sea Turtle and an Octopus to cooperate with the experiment.
Until evening, Chi Feichei temporarily stopped. He brought a waterproof playback machine, recorded Fei Li's threatening sound directed at Fish, and went into the Sea with Fei Li to hunt.
This time, he didn't need to work hard to drive away the school of fish. Once the recording was played, the school of fish immediately got scared and swam towards Fei Li, then were all knocked unconscious by Fei Li's tail.
After driving them twice and collecting enough Food for Fei Li, Chi Feichei boarded the Yacht.
"Fei Li, tonight is all yours."
"Huh? Master, aren't you eating?" Fei Li asked, showing Doubt.
"I don't want to eat Fish anymore. There's other Food in the Yacht Refrigerator," Chi Feichei said as he entered the Cabin, "Hissashi only needs to eat once every four or five days."
"I See," Fei Li said, looking at Hissashi nodding on the Deck, "Hissashi eats so little. No wonder he's so small. Maybe if he eats more, he can grow bigger."
"No, no," Hissashi corrected, "It's not about appetite. Even if I eat more, I can't eat anymore."
Chi Feichei was too lazy to cook. He went to the Refrigerator, took out Fast Food, and went to the Deck. He printed out the Test Report from the daytime experiment and ate while reading.
From the experiment, it seemed Fei Li wasn't 'able to emit the sound of other Animals', but rather his own vocal system was special. It could emit two kinds of Sound Wave, which fused into a Sound Wave that other Animals could receive as Information, and transmit it to the other party's Brain.
The Wavebands of Snake Language and Birds Language differ greatly, and even within the same Language, different meanings have corresponding Wavebands.
Fei Li's vocalization method can be considered a kind of Communication Cipher. As long as Humanity masters this Cipher and uses equipment that emits and receives Ultrasonic Waves and Infrasound, they can achieve Communication with other Animals and command them.
Humanity currently has the equipment, but lacks the Codebook.
To obtain this Codebook, Fei Li needs to cooperate in conducting massive experiments to figure out the meaning represented by each Change node. They also need to analyze, deduce, and combine based on the existing Data.
He was temporarily too busy to research this Codebook. What concerned him was his own Problem.
He had always believed that he could hear the sound of Plant and Animal. He thought it was because his Ears could capture special Sound Waves and automatically translate and feedback the content to his Brain.
But in the previous experiment, he could Understand Fei Li's Words and the Machine-recorded Words of Fei Li, but he couldn't Understand the Machine-synthesized Sound Wave.
And it was the same for Hissashi and the other Seagulls. The Difference was between the sound emitted by living beings and the sound combined by non-living beings.
In other words, he could hear Sounds that the Human ear could capture, but he could only Understand the meaning of Sounds emitted by living beings. Sounds simulated by non-living beings didn't work.
His Ability was unrelated to Sound Waves.
Moreover, he had just now done an Inspection of his own Brainwave. When he heard the sound emitted by the Machine and the sound emitted by different Animals, his Brainwave showed no Abnormality fluctuations.
That is to say, his Ability wasn't due to Brainwaves either.
Is it really because of Metaphysics?
...
After Dinner, Chi Feichei continued his Research.
The following Research didn't involve Fei Li much. Chi Feichei was Researching Oneself.
He continued to inspect his own Brainwave, experimenting on how his Brainwave changed under interference means. He even used Ultrasonic Waves inspection means to take an X-ray of his oral cavity's Venom Gland, confirming that this was something that scientific means could Inspection...
He became addicted to Researching Oneself, unable to break free.
1 AM, went to sleep.
Early morning The Next Day, Chi Feichei wasn't in a hurry to continue his Research. He had to return to Tokyo because Tomorrow he still had to help Fulante Disguise.
Fei Li Intended to Leave this Place and go Check out other Places.
Originally, he should have prepared a Communication Tool to prevent Fei Li from losing contact and getting lost. However, the Sea was too vast, the Internet might not connect, and Radio Waves walkie-talkie communication had distance limitations.
Having no choice, Chi Feichei spent another whole morning teaching Fei Li how to read a Map and memorize Maps. He then spent an entire day instilling various anti-fraud, anti-capture, and anti-abduction Knowledge into Fei Li.
In the evening, Fei Li cheerfully said farewell, "Master, Hissashi, I'll come back here to Check in some Time. Don't worry, I won't get lost!"
Chi Feichei: "Mhm."
Hissashi: "Mhm..."
The person and the snake watch leave Fei Li swim away. Afterwards, Fei Li submerged, and even his Dorsal Fin, which had been visible on the Sea Surface, disappeared.
Hissashi sighed, "I'm so worried Fei Li will get lost like this. Master, why do you think they like to run off so much?"
"Pets that are free-roaming in the Sky and Sea are just like that."
Chi Feichei summarized in a sentence, then turn around and returned to the Cabin.
With Non-Ink having done it before, it wasn't so difficult to accept. However, Fei Li was more difficult to Connection than Non-Ink, and this time he might really run off and get lost...
When the Yacht docked, Chi Feichei asked Da Shan Mi to arrange for people to Receive the Yacht and, incidentally, help him book a Plane Ticket.
After returning to Tokyo, it was already past 3 AM. After sleeping for only a short while, Chi Feichei got up and went Out again to help Fulante Disguise.
A little after 8 AM, Tokyo Street.
The Blonde Hair, blue-eyed Woman saw the familiar Car, hung up her Phone Call, and walked forward along the Street. Seeing that the Passenger Seat was empty, she immediately got into the Passenger Seat.
The Black Car drove away from the spot.
"After the Disguise is done, how about you drop me off near the Port Area?" Fulante asked, smiling as she turn head.
Before coming, Chi Feichei had also changed to that Freckles European Youth Face. Driving the Car, he nodded and said in a hoarse sound, "I'll take you to Aoyama Park."
"Ok!" Fulante, used to that indifferent face, didn't mind it. After replying, her Expression became more serious, and she lowered her voice, "The Explosives Information Wataru Ichiro revealed to me before is indeed Problematic. It's not a Freighter arriving in three days, but a Freighter that departed from an American Port two weeks ago. It will probably arrive in the Vicinity of Chiba Prefecture in about 20 days. Afterwards, they'll have a Fishing Boat unload the Explosives, passing through a remote Coast of Chiba Prefecture to avoid Inspection, and then transport them back to Tokyo. The specific Arrival Time is still uncertain."
"Has it been confirmed?" Chi Feichei asked.
"It's confirmed. This time it should be true," Fulante nodded and whispered, "Last night, TomoDa called me and told me that there's a Freighter setting sail Tomorrow. It will also bring back some Munitions when it returns. He's going to escort the ship and asked Whether or Not I wanted to go with him. If I went, maybe I could get other Clues..."
"Temporarily, No Need." Chi Feichei rejected the Proposal of going with him.
From a Japanese Port to the US East Coast by Freighter, it probably takes around 40 days of voyage. The Disguise fundamentally cannot last that long.
If Fulante wanted to Disguise and go with him, he would also have to sneak in and drift on the Sea for 40 days.
It wasn't that he was unwilling to take a stroll on the Sea. Maybe he could even incidentally take Fei Li to America to find Non-Ink.
However, for two Humans wearing Disguises to eat and live with other people on a Freighter for 40 days, the Risk of exposure was too high.
Fulante was using the fact that TomoDa liked Koizumi Kumi to infiltrate the Smuggling Ring. So, on the ship, TomoDa would certainly watch Fulante, who was Disguised as Koizumi Kumi, closely. And if he helped Fulante change her Disguise, the two of them would have to meet up secretly, making the Risk of exposure even higher.
Furthermore, if Fulante was Problematic, whether she was betraying the Organization or was an Undercover Agent herself, once they determined that the Organization was letting her join the ship, they would also guess that 'Raki' and Belmode, the two people who can Disguise, would send one person to join the ship to help her Disguise and deploy Personnel at the American Port to Capture them. Whoever went would be doomed.
Considering everything, this ship travel might get them more Clues, but the Risk was too high and not worth it.
In 40 days, the Organization's Investigation from other directions might also be able to obtain some Clues.
Not going—This Is the Decided he made. He guess The Boss would make the same Choice.
"Can you try to find out more accurately where the Goal is in Massachusetts?"
"I'll do my best," Fulante frowned, "They're keeping the News about the Goal very secret. I've sounded out TomoDa and even tried to get him drunk, but he says nothing when he's drunk. And every time I mention the Arms Source, he changes the topic. I don't dare to press too much."
"Look for another Opportunity to probe and strive to narrow down the scope further," Chi Feichei pondered for a moment. "Besides, organize their voyage information from these years and send it to me afterwards. Get as much as you can."
Fulante was taken aback for a moment and reminded him, "Every time they travel between America, the Port they Choice isn't the same one. Ports from the Boston to Quincy area are all possible. And there's too much Information. I can get hold of voyage information from the past five years. Do you Need all of it?"
"All of it." Chi Feichei found a remote Place to stop the Car, helped Fulante Disguise, and then dropped Fulante off at the Port Area. After returning to the Vicinity of Shinjuku Ward, he checked the Time. It was already past 10 AM. He sent an Email to The Boss, briefly mentioning the Matter of going with the ship.
[No Need to join the ship. Try your best to pinpoint the general location and proceed with the Investigation from other directions.]
The Answer The Boss gave was consistent with what he had anticipated.
[Understood. --Raki]
Chi Feichei sent a Reply and then sent an Email to Gin about the Explosives Matter.
[Fulante confirmed that the Freighter transporting that batch of Explosives departed from Massachusetts Port two weeks ago. It will transfer the Explosives in the Vicinity of Chiba Bay. The specific Time and Location of the transfer are unknown. --Raki]
After waiting for probably more than ten minutes, Gin's Phone Call finally came through.
"Hello?"
"I'm alone on the Street. It's convenient to talk on the Phone."
Gin confirmed Chi Feichei's Situation and didn't dawdle. "The Intelligence is accurate. According to a sailor from their Smuggling Ring, they indeed have some plans in Chiba Prefecture Recently. As for the specific Time and Location of the transfer, we'll wait until the Freighter probably enters Japanese Waters, and then proceed with the Investigation."
"Understood."
Chi Feichei understood. He guess Gin had again Grabbed Leverage over some sailor, making the sailor keep an eye on the gang's Recent Movements.
On his side, he had Fulante confirm the Details of the Freighter carrying smuggled Explosives from the upper echelon, including the departure time, estimated arrival time, and probably action plan.
And on Gin's side, he was casually Threatening two Underlings, using Movements and other News to make a Judgment on whether or not the Intelligence Fulante provided was accurate. Afterwards, they would also Continue to follow up and confirm.
In this way, they could basically confirm that the Intelligence was accurate.

Chapter 475: One Koizumi Akako, Two Big Gems
Hanging up the phone, Mouri Ran called, inviting him to forest bathing.
"Not going."
"Ah, okay, then I'll ask Ai..."
"Yeah."
After Chi Feichei decisively refused, he called Da Shan Mi and asked him to find a place to send the equipment for testing Brainwave, and also specified some equipment to be sent together.
Afterwards, he contacted the Crow at a nearby location to confirm Koizumi Akako's Movement Information and Location.
The Students were on summer vacation again, running around everywhere, playing everywhere.
The Light Demon was like this, and the Crimson Witch was also like this, simply being too much of a Slacker.
In a Dining Room outside a certain Amusement Park, Kuroba Kaito, Aoko Nakamori, Koizumi Akako, and Keiko Momoi gathered to eat a meal, discussing going to the Amusement Park to play afterwards.
"How about going to Underwater World?" Aoko Nakamori said with a smile.
"Hey hey..." Kuroba Kaito was speechless, knowing he was afraid of Fish and still suggesting that kind of place?
"Hongzi, what about you?" Aoko Nakamori ignored Kuroba Kaito's protest and turned to look at Koizumi Akako, "It's rare for you to agree to come out and play with us, is there any Place you want to play? Let's go together."
Koizumi Akako was just about to say 'Underwater World' was good when she noticed her Mobile Phone Ringtone ringing. She said 'Excuse me', took out her Mobile Phone, and looked at it.
This Number was... Chi Feichei?
She answered the Phone Call.
"This is Koizumi..."
"Hongzi, come out for a bit, I'm In the Alley next to the Dining Room you're eating at, call Kaito too."
"Okay, I understand."
Koizumi Akako hung up the Phone Call, Get Up and said to Kuroba Kaito, "Come with me for a bit, I have Words to Say to You."
"Huh?" Kuroba Kaito stood up in Doubt, seeing Koizumi Akako Turn Around and walk out, he followed, "What Words can't be said here?"
"Your Elder Brother called me, looking for you for something..." Koizumi Akako explained, pushed open the Door of the Dining Room, Looked left and right, found the Alley next to it, and went straight over.
Aoko Nakamori and Keiko Momoi originally thought it was Weird, but vaguely heard Koizumi Akako's Words, so they didn't think too much about it.
Kuroba Kaito followed Koizumi Akako into the Alley, his Footsteps a little hesitant.
The first time he met Chi Feichei was when he foolishly ran to find Chi Feichei with Koizumi Akako, and ended up being threatened, controlled, and kidnapped...
Hongzi directly sold him out that day, and even helped Chi Feichei ask for leave from the School Teacher on his behalf, making Mr. Terai misunderstand that he had an Elder Brother, and in the end, he really got a cheap older brother...
Today's Situation, why does it look a bit off?
It's a bit mysteriously similar to that day...
In the Alley, Chi Feichei had already removed his Disguise, threw it in the Wall Corner and burned it down. Hearing Footsteps, he Turn Head to Look.
"Did you suddenly look for us because there's something Matter?" Koizumi Akako stepped forward.
Chi Feichei took out two Gems he had brought up from the Seabed from his Pocket and threw them to Kuroba Kaito who was following behind, "Giving Kaito some Things."
Kuroba Kaito was originally thinking about Whether or Not to prepare to run away, but when he realized Chi Feichei was throwing Things over, he subconsciously caught them. Taking a closer Look...
Two palm-sized Gems!
As Kaito Kid, he had come into contact with no shortage of Gems, and his initial Judgment was that they were real!
"I found them while playing outside, I'm giving them to you." Chi Feichei didn't waste time with Kuroba Kaito, and motioned for Koizumi Akako to come with him.
Kuroba Kaito paid attention for a Glance, didn't take it to heart, and continued to Check the authenticity of the Gems.
Whether or not it was the Pandora Gem would have to wait until Moonlight came out at Night to judge.
As For Koizumi Akako...
Anyway, following Brother Hichiji, nothing would happen, no need for him to worry.
Chi Feichei took Koizumi Akako to the depths of the Alley, Turn Around and said, "Hongzi, can you Cooperate with me to do some Research?"
"Research?" Koizumi Akako asked in Doubt, "Is it Magic Research?"
"Witch Research," Chi Feichei said, "I want your Physical Examination Report, Hair and Blood Sample, and also do a Brainwave Test..."
"Wait!" Koizumi Akako took a step back, staring at Chi Feichei in horror, "You want to take me as a Test Subject?"
"Not considered a Test Subject, just providing a Comparison Data."
Chi Feichei felt that as Friends, he should persuade with emotion and reason, and explain things clearly, "I've also done the Inspection myself, my Report can be shared with you, but I don't have a Special Energy Body in my Body, except for the Venom Gland, no special Place has been inspected by Scientific Method, don't you want to know the specific form of Magic Power, or your Body State when Magic Power is released? Knowing these Things, maybe you can discover a Shortcut to go further, or solve some restrictions and Troublesome Matters, For Example, the Problem of Witch's Tears and Magic Power disappearing, maybe it can be solved."
Koizumi Akako was somewhat tempted by what was said. If these Problems could be solved by Scientific Method, then it would indeed be a good thing, But...
Chi Feichei waited for Koizumi Akako to Consider.
After Fei Li's Matter, he discovered that if there was only him as a special individual, many Situations could not be confirmed, but if there could be another special individual for comparison, maybe some Truth could be compared and corroborated.
In this World, besides him, the only other special individual he knew was Koizumi Akako.
Spiders didn't count.
Spiders were at most a Hypnosis expert who used Technology Means to assist themselves, just like Magicians, different from them.
Koizumi Akako hesitated for a moment, But still refused, "No, I am the Rightful Heir of Red Magic, how can I be used as a Test Subject for someone else's Research? Not even as an Observation Object, and besides, Magic and Technology are Conflict, it's no exaggeration to say they are two existences that are natural enemies, if you use Scientific Method to..."
"Zzzzt!"
Under a slight sound, Koizumi Akako widened her Eyes and Looked at Chi Feichei, slowly falling backwards, "Research..."
Chi Feichei supported Koizumi Akako with his right Hand, and put the Stun Gun into his Pocket with his left Hand.
Persuading with emotion and reason didn't work, then he could Consider being unreasonable.
Still a Witch, Koizumi Akako's Vigilance was really too poor...
Over there at the Alley Entrance, Kuroba Kaito paused Footsteps, Speechless as he Looked at Chi Feichei.
He originally wanted to come over to tell Chi Feichei that the Gems were real, But he happened to witness Chi Feichei's 'assault' Crime Scene.
At this time... what should he Say Something Good?
Chi Feichei picked up Koizumi Akako and walked past Kuroba Kaito who was standing there in a daze, "Kaito, Troublesome for you to Say Something to your Friends, Hongzi has Matters to attend to, she's not going to play with you."
"Brother Hichiji, what are you doing?" Kuroba Kaito came back to his senses and quickly Turn Around to follow.
"Taking her to a Place." Chi Feichei walked towards the Alley Entrance.
"But, isn't this a bit... a bit... not good?" Kuroba Kaito Speechless reminded, "Can't you Talk Properly if you have something to Say?"
"She doesn't agree." Chi Feichei arrived near the Alley Entrance, pulled up his Outerwear Hood to cover his Face.
Kuroba Kaito: "..."
If she didn't agree, he just forcibly took her away, this was kidnapping!
And he specially pulled up his Hat to cover his Appearance, this Behavior was even more like a Kidnapper.
Chi Feichei pulled open the Car Door of the Car parked Roadside, put Koizumi Akako in the Back Seat, and went to the driver's seat Oneself, "I won't do anything to her."
"Wait..." Kuroba Kaito hurriedly said, "I can't take these two Gems, I'll confirm tonight, if it's not Pandora, I'll send..."
"No Need, I Said I've already given them to you." Chi Feichei directly drove the Car away from the spot.
Kuroba Kaito Speechless Watched Leave as the Car left.
What could he do?
Thinking about the way Chi Feichei wielded a Scythe to chop Spiders that day, he understood that the battle power was unequal.
And if he played tricks, used Magic Trick Means, Chi Feichei also knew a lot of Magic Trick Tricks, Guess it wouldn't work either.
If it was useful, temporarily rescued Hongzi, then it would be even worse, not only would Hongzi be unlucky, he would also be unlucky.
Never Mind, Brother Hichiji was still trustworthy, Hongzi shouldn't have any Matter.
He wasn't Intentionally selling... Hongzi...
Kuroba Kaito lowered his Head and Looked at the two big Gems, one in each Hand, completely Silence.
Taking Things makes one's Hand short.
Later, he would have to go back and deceive Aoko and the others, saying 'Hongzi has Matters to Leave', to cover for Chi Feichei.
It really looked like he sold Hongzi and exchanged her for two big Gems...
...
Koizumi Akako regained Consciousness again, opened her Eyes, and found herself in a strange Environment.
Incandescent Lamps shone on the Snow White Wall, without any Decoration, all Snow White.
From the Scene reflected in the Glass Window, she saw herself lying on a Platform, her Head, Arm, and Neck connected to various Lines, the Lines connected to the Equipment that was lit up around her.
A certain evil Child of Nature, wearing a White Coat, sat in front of a Machine, Looking down at a thick stack of Printed Paper in his Hand, and asked without raising his Head, "Awake?"
Koizumi Akako slowed down for a moment before remembering that she had been knocked down Before, and immediately Get Up, "You, what did you do to me?"
"Don't Say Words that are easy to cause misunderstanding," Chi Feichei put down the Report in his Hand, "And don't pull off the Lines..."
"You're taking me as a Test Subject?!" Koizumi Akako was filled with Grief and Indignation, and directly threw a Fireball at Chi Feichei.
Chi Feichei immediately operated a Machine to confirm Koizumi Akako's current Body State.
Before, Koizumi Akako was unconscious, so there was no way to detect the Body Transformation when using Magic, now it was good, he could detect it... steady.
When the Fireball flew in front of Chi Feichei, Koizumi Akako silently took the Fireball back again.
She couldn't hit him, if she hit Chi Feichei, she would be unlucky.
Her Arm growing Scales and Feathers was a light matter, what if she injured Chi Feichei and her whole Human transformed into a Snake or a Crow?
Grievance, so angry!
She... she's leaving!
If she couldn't afford to provoke him, couldn't she Dodge?
"You should Check your Medical Report," Chi Feichei printed out the detected Data, his Tone calm, "When using Magic Power, Body Data does show some Transformation."
Koizumi Akako, who was just about to sneak away, hesitated for a moment, with a reluctant look, moved closer, and asked with a dark Face, "Where is there Transformation?"
Although she didn't want to admit it, she was also very curious.
"Wait a moment..." Chi Feichei printed out the Data, and picked out a few pages of Paper from that stack of Printed Paper, placed them together for Comparison, "At the moment you threw out the Fireball, your Brain was more than twice as active as Before, and in the Ultrasound Scan, a part of your Body State was instantly blurred, that is to Say, it may be that at that instant, there was Energy in your Body from the Abdomen to your right Hand that interfered with the Ultrasonic Waves, and also, here..."
Chi Feichei lying on the table, leaned over to look for a while, feeling a bit dizzy from looking at those data, turned his head and found Koizumi Akako staring intently.
Before, wasn't Witch Lady disagreeing with experiment research?
Alas, Humanity is really too complicated.
Chi Feichei on the Table, stretched its Head to Look for a while, Feeling a bit of Dizziness from Looking at those Data, Turn Head, and found Koizumi Akako staring intently.
Didn't Witch Lady disagree with Experiment Research Before?
Alas, Humanity is really too complicated.
"What does this mean?" Koizumi Akako Looked for a while and asked curiously.
"Your Magic Power can be detected by Scientific Method," Chi Feichei put away the Printed Paper, "It's better than my Situation, when more Data is collected in the Afterwards, there may be some Outcome, For Example, knowing how to enhance Magic Power."
