Chapter 355 Kuroba Kaito: So Cold...
"What?"
Over there, Da Shang Zhushan raised his voice in anger, "What? You're saying the chef is sick and can't come to cook? I came all the way to this place to enjoy a delicious Dinner!"
The Maid hurriedly apologized, "I am truly sorry, but I have already bought all the Food Ingredients needed for Dinner..."
"Fine, then lend me the Kitchen, and I'll cook!" Da Shang Zhushan turned to go to the Kitchen with a face full of dissatisfaction, still grumbling, "After all, only Delicious Food and murder are the Treasures that can stimulate my Brain Cells! Honestly..."
The Maid was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly went to Mori Kogoro and the other three, "I must have neglected you all just now, I'm really sorry for keeping you waiting for so long."
"So, what exactly does your Master mean by this?" Qian Jian Jiang Dai raised her eyes and gazed at the Maid, asking calmly, "Inviting the four of us Famous Detectives here, there must be something going on, right?"
Qian Jian Jiang Dai was referring to Mori Kogoro, herself, Mao Mu Yao Shi, and Da Shang Zhushan, each of whom was a Famous Detective who had been featured in reports numerous times.
"Ah... no," the Maid quickly explained, "Actually, we invited seven Detectives in total. Besides the four of you, there is also a Lady, a Mr., and a Boy Detective."
"Boy Detectives..." Mori Kogoro looked disgusted, "It wouldn't be that Brat named Kudo Shinichi, would it?"
"No!" Conan quickly said, "I think it must be Elder Brother Heiji!"
"No, Master originally gave me a Guest List with both of their names on it, but Mr. Kudou couldn't be contacted, and Hattori-san said he was busy with his Midterm Exam and called to decline," the Maid said, "Later, following a suggestion from another Guest, we invited a Mr., and finally there was one spot left. Mr. Mouri called to ask if he could bring Family, and after I asked my Master, he agreed..."
"Then, where is your Master who likes to play Detective Game?" Mao Mu Yao Shi looked around and asked, "Where is he now?"
"This..." The Maid hesitated for a moment, "Actually, I haven't even met the Master myself yet..."
"What?" Mori Kogoro asked in confusion, "Didn't he give you the Guest List?"
"Yes, but I got that when I came for the Maid interview and was hired," the Maid recalled, "It was a very strange interview. Because the Remuneration for this job was very high, there was a constant stream of applicants, but when you entered the Room, there was only a Computer, a copy of the Dinner Instructions, and this Guest List on the Table. The applicants before me all came out looking confused, and I also found it strange..."
"So, you don't even know why you were given Admission?" Mori Kogoro pressed.
The Maid nodded, "At that time, I was following the Instructions on the Computer Screen, reading the Data, when suddenly the Computer made a sound, and the Words 'You have been given Admission' appeared on the Screen."
"Then Older Sister, didn't you hear the other person's Sound?" Conan asked.
"No," the Maid said, "In fact, we have always been Communication with each other through Email on our Mobile Phone."
At the Stairwell Entrance to the Second Floor, Chi Feichei quietly listened to the group's conversation.
It has to be said, in this Incident, Da Shang Zhushan's Style as the inviter is really similar to The Boss.
Actually, the Hint was already given to Conan, right?
--Email Communication.
Saguru Hakuba heard the Movement Downstairs and came out from a Room next door. Seeing Chi Feichei look over after hearing the Movement, he nodded to Chi Feichei.
Chi Feichei withdrew his Line of Sight from Saguru Hakuba.
In any case, experiencing this Incident will Benefit him in finding the Answer to the Question in his heart.
It doesn't matter if he can't see it now, maybe he'll suddenly connect something later?
Downstairs, Qian Jian Jiang Dai said, "Oh? Isn't this very interesting? I Feeling I'm already eager to try."
"Tsk!" Mao Mu Yao Shi clicked his tongue lightly, turning his head to look at the black spot on the Main Gate, "I already got Scalp Numbing when I saw that Monster Thing on the Entrance Gate."
Mori Kogoro turned his head, "That is..."
"It might be a Blood Stain left a long time ago," Mao Mu Yao Shi said.
"It should be Blood left after Aiming at the Main Gate and Shooting at about a 45-degree angle," a Woman with wavy long hair tied behind her head, wearing Gloves and holding a Bottle, sprayed some liquid from the Bottle onto the Staircase railing next to the Stairs, reached out to block the Lamplight, and looked at the Fluorescence that lit up, "Not only the Main Gate, but there are also Blood Trace on the Wall, and Blood dripping Trace on the Floor. Although it seems to have been wiped, this House is covered in Blood Trace everywhere, and it shouldn't have been left by just one or two people... Also, two Young Masters, you've been standing there watching for a while, aren't you coming down to greet the others?"
"Sorry, seeing you discussing so enthusiastically, we listened for a while longer."
Saguru Hakuba stood beside Chi Feichei and spoke to attract the others' Line of Sight.
Conan also looked up curiously like the others, and when he saw, he just chuckled inwardly.
That Fellow standing on the Stairs, dressed in Black Clothes, looking at them with a calm Expression, with an Aura so strong it was like he was overlooking all of them...
Uh, although looking down from the Stairs is indeed looking down, that's not the point. The point is, that Fellow is really familiar!
No wonder he thought of Chi Feichei Before, it turned out he had a premonition that Chi Feichei would appear again out of nowhere...
Chi Feichei looked at the 'Mori Kogoro' in front of him. No need to think, Mori Kogoro must have been replaced by Kuroba Kaito.
Although the Plot has changed, Kuroba Kaito's skills have improved again, but Saguru Hakuba has been under his nose all day today, it's impossible for him to be replaced. Even if he was replaced, he would be able to tell from the contact all the way here. And the other Detectives are running around in Various Countries, it's difficult for Kuroba Kaito to investigate.
So, the one Kuroba Kaito is most likely to have replaced is still Mori Kogoro, whom he had Previously contacted and who can pretend to be confused when solving cases...
Kuroba Kaito, Disguise as Mori Kogoro, broke out in a cold sweat in his heart, but didn't show any Opening on his face, and said with a disgusted look, "Hey, didn't you Brat say you weren't coming?"
Chi Feichei did not expose Kuroba Kaito, and said calmly, "Teacher, I didn't say I wasn't coming, I just said to leave that Quota for you."
Kuroba Kaito: "..."
So Cold...
Elder Brother Fei-chi is still so cold even when facing his own Teacher.
Conan Half-Moon Eyes: "..."
Since he had already decided to come, wouldn't it have been better to say so in advance and come with him, this Little Friend?
Insisting on suddenly popping up and scaring him...
But looking at it this way, the eight Guests who came here tonight, Qian Jian Jiang Dai, Mao Mu Yao Shi, Da Shang Zhushan, Qiang Tian Yu Mei, these four are all Famous Detectives whose Reputation is no less than Mori Kogoro's, plus Chi Feichei, a pervert who cannot be measured by Reputation, Uncle Mori, another High School Detective who is also considered famous, and him.
Eight people, all eight are...
No, Kaito Kid might impersonate one of them and come over, but even so, there are at least seven Detectives here!
It's simply a Famous Detective Gathering...
Mao Mu Yao Shi sized up Chi Feichei with interest. It's rare to see someone whose Sound and Expression are so cold to this extent when facing others. A trace of inexplicable Vigilance suddenly rose in his heart, even he felt inexplicable, "Oh? Do you know each other?"
Chi Feichei went down the Stairs and gave a Self-introduction, "My name is Chi Feichei, and I am a Disciple of Teacher Mouri who has not yet completed his apprenticeship. Please take care of me."
"Even if you say so, I won't underestimate you. You once helped the Police solve the serial Shooting Police Case, and just a few days ago, you helped the Police solve the case of a mysterious person who serially assaulted Female," the Woman with her black hair tied behind her head looked at Chi Feichei and said slowly, "These are just the Cases I know about. If I had to say, you are a person who is excessively low-key, right?"
"Miss Qiang Tian Yu Mei, as expected of someone who has been a prosecutor, you even know about this," Saguru Hakuba also walked down the Stairs and smiled at the Woman, "Also, I didn't expect you to even bring Luminol Reagent..."
"I am very interested in the Tragic Case that happened here before, so I brought this Thing. As For Mr. Chi's matter... that Incident of serial Shooting of Police was too much of a Sensation, I think it's hard not to hear about it. Later, I heard from a Friend who is still working as a prosecutor that the Criminal was caught by a Young Man with Purple Eyes. I was curious about who it was, and I specifically paid attention to reports of Cases involving Young Men with Purple Eyes. Today, seeing Mr. Chi's Eyes, and you coming together, I knew it was him. After all, even someone you recognize and recommend, his Reasoning Ability must be quite good..."
Qiang Tian Yu Mei turned her head to look at Saguru Hakuba, "I wonder if my guess is correct, Young Master?"
"Completely correct," Saguru Hakuba gave Qiang Tian Yu Mei the Answer, and then looked at the others, "My name is Saguru Hakuba, please take care of me."
"Ba-, Saguru Hakuba?" Kuroba Kaito, wearing Mori Kogoro's Face, showed a surprised Expression, "Saying so, you are the Police Superintendent General Hakuba's..."
"Yes, Police Superintendent General Hakuba is indeed my Old Dad, Mr. Mouri," Saguru Hakuba stepped forward and said Polite, "I heard Before that Elder Brother Fei-chi became a Disciple of Mori Kogoro. It's truly an honor to meet Mr. Mouri today."
"Not at all..." 'Mori Kogoro' raised his hand and scratched his head, "Being able to meet everyone here, it should be said that it is my honor!"
"Alright, I think everyone should stop complimenting each other," Qiang Tian Yu Mei suggested, "There should still be some Time before Dinner starts, how about we go to the Lounge and sit for a while?"
No one objected.
The Maid led the group to the Lounge.
"Oh? So there's Snooker here!" Mao Mu Yao Shi immediately walked over after seeing the Billiard Table, and turned to ask the others, "Anyone want to join?"
Saguru Hakuba subconsciously looked at Chi Feichei. Snooker, which is Billiards, is a very popular Exercise in Britain.
"Two rounds," Chi Feichei nodded, and then looked at the Playing Cards on the Table, "Actually, I'd rather play Card."
Hmm?
Conan was surprised in his heart, and his Gaze at Chi Feichei suddenly became serious.
He remembered that in the Ye Caisan Incident, Chi Feichei had said on the ship that he was not interested in playing Card, and judging from their interactions, Chi Feichei was not the kind of active person who 'wants to play Billiards and also wants to play Card'.
Could it be... Disguise by Kaito Kid again?
