Chapter 356: Extremely Poor Taste
Chi Feichei played two games of billiards with Mao Mu Yaoshi, then Saguru Hakuba took over, and he went to the card table.
Mori Kogoro and Qian Jian Jiang Dai were playing chess. Before, only Qiang Tian Yumei was at the card table, playing with Conan.
After waiting for a while, the card game ended. Qiang Tian Yumei shuffled the cards, and smiled, "You've finally arrived. What do you want to play?"
"Anything is fine," Chi Feichei responded.
He wasn't interested in playing cards, nor was he in billiards.
But his mobile phone had no signal, and he needed to kill time, so he wanted to try to get in touch with these detectives and sound them out.
Da Shang Zhushan was cooking in the kitchen, and the dishes would cool down soon, so there was no need to approach him.
Qian Jian Jiang Dai would be arrested after this, so there was no need to go and specifically understand her.
The remaining Mao Mu Yaoshi and Qiang Tian Yumei, Mao Mu Yaoshi was active in America and Britain, while Qiang Tian Yumei often operated in Japan and America.
If he encountered these two when carrying out Organization tasks in the future, having a basic understanding of them, knowing their personalities, habits, and ways of thinking, could save a lot of trouble.
Conan waited for Qiang Tian Yumei to shuffle the cards, and proactively probed Chi Feichei, "By the way, Brother Chi, last time on the North Star Train, didn't you say you didn't like playing cards?"
Chi Feichei immediately understood. Conan suspected that he was being impersonated by Kid, right?
"I remember it was at sea."
"Ah? Really?" Conan breathed a sigh of relief inwardly, using a cute child's voice, "Then I must have misremembered..."
A group of people gathered in their own circles to play, and the atmosphere was fairly relaxed.
Among all the invited people, only Chi Feichei and Saguru Hakuba felt that the style of this Invitation Letter didn't seem like Phantom Thief Kid, and were guarding against something.
Even Conan only vaguely felt something was wrong, but couldn't confirm whether the Invitation Letter was sent by Phantom Thief Kid.
The other detectives didn't know much about Phantom Thief Kid. In their view, they were just attracted by that International Thief, invited to dinner, and by the way, solve some mysteries and rack their brains, exchange blows with that Great Thief, and that was about it.
After all, Kid never killed anyone.
Perhaps because of the weirdness of this place, everyone was more or less on guard, but it was far from enough emphasis.
After playing cards for a while, Chi Feichei roughly grasped Qiang Tian Yumei's personality, and didn't plan to continue playing, "I'll take a break."
"Brother Hassashi didn't seem to rest well last night," Saguru Hakuba said with a smile, "In that case, I'll keep Qiang Tian company playing cards."
"I'm fine here, I can play Snooker alone," Mao Mu Yaoshi also said.
"Brother Chi, you didn't stay up late working again last night, did you?" Conan asked Chi Feichei speechlessly.
"Oh? Mr. Chi has many Commissions?" Mao Mu Yaoshi asked curiously.
"I seemed to have forgotten to mention it before," Qiang Tian Yumei smiled, "According to my knowledge, Mr. Chi is the son of the Chairman of Shinchi Group, so I said 'two Young Masters' before. However, Mr. Chi is also one of the investors of THK Entertainment Company, which has been very popular recently. I really like the new program."
Mao Mu Yaoshi self-deprecatingly said, "Then compared to someone like me who wanders around in Various Countries all day, Mr. Chi is indeed busy."
"It's not really staying up late, I just went to bed a little late." Chi Feichei stood up, said a sentence to Conan and the others, and took out a cigarette from his Pocket.
Aside, Qian Jian Jiang Dai, who was playing chess with 'Mori Kogoro', turned her head and looked at Chi Feichei.
In order to poison Da Shang Zhushan alone later, she didn't want anyone to smoke at that time, so she had to let those who smoked know that she hated the smoke smell.
In this way, when everyone was in the Dining Room, these people wouldn't touch cigarettes after touching the Toxin and poison themselves to death...
Mao Mu Yaoshi already knew that she hated the smoke smell. On the way, when he hitched a ride in Mori Kogoro's Car, she also repeatedly deepened Mori Kogoro's impression of 'her hating the smoke smell'. She originally thought that Chi Feichei didn't smoke, after all, she hadn't seen Chi Feichei smoke since they met, but she didn't expect that she would have to mention it again...
However, to Qian Jian Jiang Dai's surprise, before she could speak, Chi Feichei raised his head, saw her, paused for a moment, and directly Go Out.
"Sorry." Chi Feichei pulled open the Door and went out, lighting a cigarette Outside the Door.
Conan also remembered Qian Jian Jiang Dai's dislike of smoke smell, was stunned for a moment, and then a smile appeared on his Face.
Okay, this kind of overly careful, silently considerate of others, and yet silent Style... it could be confirmed, this Fellow was Chi Feichei, not Kaito Kid in Disguise.
Qian Jian Jiang Dai recovered, confirmed that Chi Feichei was avoiding her, and asked aloud, "How did Mr. Chi know that I hate the smoke smell?"
"When you came from the Parking Area before, I was standing in front of the Third Floor Window and See, when Mr. Mao Mu got out of the Car, he just lit a cigarette, but when Ms. Qian Jian went over to speak, he immediately threw the cigarette that had just been lit into the Puddle to extinguish it, so I Guess that Ms. Qian Jian doesn't like the smoke smell." Chi Feichei leaned against the Door and stood.
He didn't want to watch Qian Jian Jiang Dai repeatedly brush the impression of 'hating smoke smell' in front of him, so he simply took the initiative to indicate, 'I Understood, Remembered, don't repeatedly brush the impression', troublesome.
"Mr. Mao Mu, your gentlemanly side has been completely seen clearly," Qiang Tian Yumei teased.
"Ah... not really," Mao Mu Yaoshi was inexplicably a little embarrassed, "I've known Elder Sister Qianjian for a long time, and she's nagged me several times, so I remembered..."
Qian Jian Jiang Dai smiled and said, "If you were all as worry-free as Mr. Chi, I wouldn't have to nag, right? Younger Brother Mao Mu, Mr. Mouri?"
"Ah..."
'Mori Kogoro' scratched his head with a dry laugh.
"But, have you already walked around this Annex before?" Mao Mu Yaoshi asked.
"Sort of, there are too many Traces left from that Tragic Case back then," Qiang Tian Yumei said, "Look, there are still Blood Stain remaining on the Playing Cards..."
"That Tragic Case?"
'Mori Kogoro' was doubtful.
Chi Feichei stood Outside the Door, listening to a group of people chatting, without saying a word. Hearing Footsteps, he raised his head and saw the Maid coming over and bowing to him, and he also nodded to the Maid.
Maid Ishihara Aki walked to the Entrance and bowed to the others again, "Today's Dinner is ready, my Master is waiting for everyone in the Dining Room, please move to the Dining Room."
"The protagonist is finally going to appear."
"It's really something to look forward to."
A group of people followed the Maid through the Corridor and went to the Dining Room.
"This is the Dining Room," the Maid opened the Dining Room Door, stepped aside, "Please come in."
In front of the Fireplace, a blue-green Tablecloth was laid on the long Dining Table, with Cutlery and signs with everyone's names neatly placed.
A person wearing a Purple Cloak was sitting in the head Seat, the pointed Hat even blocked their Face, and red light was emitting from the Location of the Eyes, the red light passing through the Purple fabric, directly facing the Entrance.
Mao Mu Yaoshi, who entered one step ahead, jumped in fright, "Come on, what's with this dress-up? I think you watch too much Television, right?"
Chi Feichei couldn't help but take a few more glances, this image... is it imitating the FFF group?
"Now, seven noble Detective masters are present," the figure in the head seat spoke, voice deep and solemn, "I sincerely welcome everyone to visit this Dusk Villa. Now, please everyone take your seats first, there are your Names on the Table."
Chi Feichei looked at Conan, this ignored Kid.
Conan could only laugh dryly in his heart, clearly there were eight people... but he was also used to it, guessing that the other party just regarded him as someone Mori Kogoro brought along to freeload a meal.
Mao Mu Yaoshi scoffed lightly, walked towards the Dining Table, and went to look for the sign with his Name written on it.
The others also followed in.
"Who chose the Tablecloth?" Chi Feichei suddenly asked as he passed by the Maid.
Several other detectives turned their heads together.
Was there a Problem with the Tablecloth?
The Maid was stunned, "I'm not sure either, it was originally in the Dining Room..."
Saguru Hakuba saw that the other detectives were too serious, and explained with a dry laugh, "It should be okay, although I also wanted to say... the main Color Tone of this Dining Room and even the entire Annex is dark brown, brown, and dark Purple, matched with light blue and light green Tablecloths, it's too... a bit Weird. Light blue and light green are relatively fresh and lively Colors, which is also very discordant with the solemn Decoration of the entire Annex."
The others gave him Half-Moon Eyes, "..."
Okay, these two Young Masters looked quite amiable, but in some Places they were really quite picky...
But is it really appropriate to Teasing like this in front of the Master?
"Cold and warm Color Tone Conflict, the Feeling of brightness and heaviness Conflict, too monotonous, Conflict with the exquisite Decoration of the Annex," Chi Feichei found the sign with his Name written on it, sat down behind the Table, and said with a cold expression, "Extremely poor taste."
Others: "..."
This Teasing was even more excessive.
At the Entrance, Da Shang Zhushan was whispering to the Maid to serve the dishes in order, and his mouth twitched slightly when he heard this.
His taste was extremely poor? He...
He endured it!
Anyway, these two provocative bastards would die sooner or later!
Others either laughed awkwardly, or were Speechless, or gloated, and successively found their Locations and sat down.
Chi Feichei was Silence, reflecting.
Was he so impolite when he spoke Previously?
How did it feel like he was led astray by Gin?
"The main reason I invited everyone here today is that I hope you can help me find the Treasure sleeping in this Annex," the figure in the head seat spoke again, "I spent many years to obtain this Wealth, even if I bet my life, I must find it!"
'Mori Kogoro' was surprised and doubtful, "Bet, bet my life?"
"Boom! Boom!..."
Explosions sounded one after another Outside.
Da Shang Zhushan immediately stood up from his Seat, "Wh-What Sound was that Just Now?"
"Cars exploded," Chi Feichei said.
Anyway, he didn't drive his own Car here...
Da Shang Zhushan choked up, everyone had guessed it, no need to remind them so calmly, right?
It set off his Performance Just Now as being a bit too exaggerated...
The atmosphere suddenly became Cold.
Saguru Hakuba didn't Say anything, anyway, his Car wasn't driven to the Entrance of the Annex...
"Don't worry, I just want to restrict your Freedom of Action," the figure in the head seat remained unaffected, "I am always in the Stance of being pursued by Police Officer and you detectives, so I also want to occasionally change the taste and stand in the Stance of the pursuer..."
Chi Feichei: "..."
In This Situation, 'supervisor' might be more Appropriate.
Never Mind, he won't argue...
"The Bridge you just passed was also blown up. Even if you have Cars, it is impossible for you to escape," the figure in the head seat continued in a deep voice, "Of course, there are no Phone Calls here either, and the Signal base stations for Mobile Phones do not cover this area, so it is fundamentally impossible for you to ask for help from Outside... Yes, this is a Survival Game! I am willing to split that Wealth evenly with the person who finds the Treasure, and tell him the Method to leave here, how about it? Are you interested?"
