Chapter 359 Conan: Let Me Deduce
"How foolish," Qiang Tian Yu Mei said slowly, resting her chin on her hands, "It takes two hands to clap, I have no interest in infighting."
"No one here can withdraw from this Game," the voice from the Loudspeaker on the mannequin head became even more solemn, "Because you are already trapped in the Magic I have cast..."
Chi Feichei drank Black tea and commented, "Chuunibyou."
The others didn't understand, but it didn't stop them from guessing it wasn't a compliment.
Before Conan could ask, the voice continued to sound.
"Just like the Tragedy forty years ago, when one of you lets out the first scream, this Intellectual Competition will officially begin. Listen carefully, the person who finds the Treasure, please go to the Room in the Central Tower, enter the Treasure Location into the Computer, and I will keep my Promise, give him half of the Treasure, and provide him with a Method to escape from here."
"Ah..."
Mao Mu Yao Shi suddenly stood up, clutching his Neck with a pained expression, as if he couldn't breathe. When the others looked over, he lowered his hand, smiled easily, and got up to walk towards the Door, "Just kidding! Sorry, I want to quit, I'm not interested in Treasure Hunt at all. This isn't a small isolated island in the Sea, as long as I wander around the Mountain, I'll always find a Road down..."
Before Mao Mu Yao Shi could Go Out, Da Shang Zhushan repeated Mao Mu Yao Shi's Reaction just now, but this time it wasn't a Joke.
Saguru Hakuba stepped forward to check his Pulse, took out his Pocket Watch to check the Time, and said in a heavy voice, "22:34:51 at Night, Heart stopped beating. Judging by This Situation, he won't survive."
Everyone present was a Detective, and they quickly began to investigate Da Shang Zhushan's Cause of Death.
Potassium Cyanide Poisoning.
However, Qian Jian Jiang Dai used a Handkerchief to pad her hand and picked up Da Shang Zhushan's Teacup, then put a Coin into the Tea to test it, and the Coin did not undergo a redox Reaction.
The mannequin on the Master seat made a Sound again, "It seems the die has been cast. In order to repay Detective Da Shang for Sacrificing his Life, allowing this Intellectual Competition to have a lively opening, please everyone, work hard to find the Treasure!"
"Bastard!" Mao Mu Yao Shi walked forward with a violent temper, grabbed the mannequin's collar and lifted it up, "Stop Joking!"
The mannequin's Head fell to the Ground, revealing the Tape connected to the Loudspeaker below, which was also connected to a Timer.
The Tape was still playing: "While you are still alive..."
Saguru Hakuba immediately confirmed with the Maid, "Is the serving Time also predetermined?"
The Maid was still in shock, "Y-yes, from appetizers to Soup, main courses, Snacks, etc., the serving Times are all arranged in advance."
Since the Culprit wasn't observing them while speaking, but had prepared a Recording in advance...
"Now we can know two Things," Conan said with a serious Expression, "First, the Culprit was initially targeting Mr. Da Shang, and second, perhaps the Culprit... is among us!"
There was a moment of Silence, and 'Mori Kogoro' exclaimed in astonishment, "You're saying the Criminal is among us?"
Chi Feichei felt that Kuroba Kaito's Acting Skill was too exaggerated, and it was noisy, "By recording the Tape in advance, he could eat with us while listening to the Recording..."
Saguru Hakuba took over, "Then, when we weren't paying attention, he found a Method to make Mr. Da Shang drink Potassium Cyanide and poisoned him to death..."
"Yes, all of this happened in front of the six of us Detectives." The ease on Mao Mu Yao Shi's Face before had also completely disappeared.
"And the Tape was prepared in advance," Qian Jian Jiang Dai said, "It's as if the Culprit even knew when Da Shang would die."
Chi Feichei chose Silence. What Problem did these Detectives have, they liked to take over, and each took over with a Sentence...
"The Problem is," Qiang Tian Yu Mei looked at the Black teacup and put on Gloves, "There was no Reaction of Cyanide compounds in the Black tea that the Victim drank before."
"Could it be that the Culprit didn't put Potassium Cyanide in the Black tea, but smeared it on the Cup Edge?"
'Mori Kogoro' guessed.
"No, that's impossible," Qiang Tian Yu Mei analyzed, "Because he probably drank two or three mouthfuls. If it was smeared on the Cup Edge, he should have been poisoned when the Teacup entered his mouth."
Seeing that discussing it back and forth yielded no results, Mao Mu Yao Shi suggested going to Check if the Car had really been blown up.
The others had no objections.
While the others moved out one after another, Conan stayed by the Corpse, staring at the fingernail of the Victim Da Shang Zhushan's right Thumb, then Turn Head, See Chi Feichei also looking, and immediately chuckled in his Heart. He put his hands in his Pants Pocket, walked to Chi Feichei in a cool manner, "You are as Keen as ever."
"You're not bad either," Chi Feichei Turn Around and Go To the Door, "Are you really... a seven-year-old Kid?"
Conan froze, then a trace of Cold sweat oozed from his Forehead. He hurriedly scratched his Head and followed with a smile, "Haha... Am I very powerful? I will definitely become a great Detective like Holmes when I grow up, right?"
"Yes."
Chi Feichei responded.
He was reminding Conan that it was okay in front of him, he would pretend not to Know, but when there were other People, remember to restrain himself a bit.
If he never suspected Conan, it would also be suspicious. Find an Opportunity, it's best to deliberately investigate Conan, but he can't expose this Kid completely.
Seeing that Chi Feichei didn't pursue the matter, Conan breathed a sigh of relief in his Heart.
Fortunately, Chi Feichei wasn't very Interested in investigating the Secrets of the People around him, otherwise, he really wouldn't be able to hide it...
A group of People went Outside the Annex to Check the Situation. The five Cars parked in the Parking Area were engulfed in Fire and had been burned into scrap Iron.
"By the Way, Brother Chi, I didn't See your Lexus SC in the Parking Lot before," Conan relaxed and couldn't help but ask questions, "Didn't you drive here?"
"I Said it Before, I didn't rest well last Night, so I didn't drive today," Chi Feichei Said, "Saguru and I had someone drive us here."
Kuroba Kaito didn't say anything. These two cunning Fellows, if he hadn't personally tricked... no, personally Seen Saguru Hakuba drive to the Gas Station, he would have almost believed it.
"Hmm?" Qiang Tian Yu Mei was puzzled, "The Ferrari is mine, the Alfa Romeo is Mr. Mao Mu's, the Porsche is the deceased Mr. Da Shang's, plus the Car Mr. Mouri drove here, there's still a Mercedes-Benz left, isn't that what you drove here?"
"That..." The Maid, Ishihara Aki, bit her right Thumb fingernail, "I think that Car should be Master's. When I came in the morning, that Mercedes-Benz was already parked there... I don't Know if my Car parked behind it has been bombed."
"Your Car is parked behind?" Qiang Tian Yu Mei asked further.
"Yes!" The Maid nodded, "My Master told me to park the Car at the Back Door..."
A group of People went to the Back Door to Check again, and after finding that the Car had not been bombed, Qian Jian Jiang Dai suggested that she drive to Check if the Suspension Bridge had been destroyed.
Considering that being alone was unsafe, the others naturally couldn't let Qian Jian Jiang Dai Go To alone, but it was also inconvenient for everyone to Go To, and they couldn't decide who should Go To and who should stay.
"Then let's use the Method of flipping a Coin to decide, how about it?" Conan took out Coins from his Pocket and put them on the Car hood, "But I only brought five Coins here..."
Chi Feichei Glanced at Conan.
Conan received the Cold Line of Sight, a little confused. Please show some Emotion, okay? With such a Cold and indifferent Glance, how could he Understand what Chi Feichei meant?
Never Mind, let him Deduce.
Based on Chi Feichei's Personality, he shouldn't like to join in the Excitement. Chi Feichei hadn't rushed to Go To before, and besides, if Chi Feichei meant he wanted to Go To, then they could only Go To decide by flipping a Coin. Looking at him was useless. Although he provided the Coins, he couldn't Help Cheat. Even if he wanted to Help Cheat, the Coins had already been taken out, and there was no way to tamper with them. If Chi Feichei didn't want to Go To...
To sum up, Understood, the Answer is Chi Feichei doesn't want to Go To.
Then the meaning of that Glance at him is...
"Then..." Qiang Tian Yu Mei just wanted to find Coins from her Pocket when she was interrupted by Conan.
"Brother Chi is not going!" Conan directly Reach Out, hug... can't reach Chi Feichei's Arm, Never Mind, hug his thigh, childish voice acting cute, "Someone just died in the Annex, I don't want to stay in the Annex with other People!"
Actually, Chi Feichei was planning to use him like this, right?
Qiang Tian Yu Mei immediately laughed, "Okay, I almost forgot, Mr. Chi still has to take care of this Child. Mr. Mouri, your Little Boy has a really good Relationship with your apprentice!"
"That's..."
'Mori Kogoro' laughed.
"Then let's five of us flip Coins to decide!" Qian Jian Jiang Dai specially Reach Out first and took the copper Coin farthest from her.
After five People flipped Coins, the People who went were Qian Jian Jiang Dai, 'Mori Kogoro', and Mao Mu Yao Shi, and the People who stayed were Saguru Hakuba and Qiang Tian Yu Mei.
In addition, Chi Feichei, Conan, and the Maid Ishihara Aki were internally decided to stay at the Annex.
After the Car left, Conan walked to the Guardrail, Saw the light green Car hidden in the Jungle, was stunned for a moment, and Look at Saguru Hakuba and Chi Feichei.
That Car shouldn't be...
Saguru Hakuba Go To Chi Feichei, intending to Say something in a low voice, but found that Chi Feichei was staring at the Grass near where the Car had stopped before. He suppressed what he originally wanted to Say and asked in a low voice, "Brother Hassashi, what's wrong?"
Conan walked forward, squeezed into the small team for whispering, raised his Hand and pulled Chi Feichei's clothes, Half-Moon Eyes reminded Chi Feichei to pay attention to his existence, "Hey... I Helped you stay, you can't leave me out of what you're doing."
"Aren't you going to Go Inside yet?" At the Entrance, Qiang Tian Yu Mei Turn Head, looked at the three People with a smile, paused, "Or are you... have you discovered something?"
Saguru Hakuba hadn't noticed Da Shang Zhushan's fingernails yet, and currently maintained Vigilance against everyone except Chi Feichei and this Child Conan. He immediately frowned.
If Qiang Tian Yu Mei is the Culprit, it's not a wise Choice for them to rashly reveal their cards...
Chi Feichei stared at the Grass the whole Time. He took out a Handkerchief from his Pocket, walked forward, squatted down, picked up something, wrapped it in the Handkerchief, put it in his Pocket, and then Turn Around to Go To the Annex, "I heard Detectives have strong Curiosity."
When Chi Feichei picked up Things, Conan vaguely captured a touch of gold, and immediately Understood what Chi Feichei was looking for just now. He immediately followed, "Brother Chi, what I want to ask you is another Matter!"
Qiang Tian Yu Mei was dumbfounded. After Chi Feichei entered the Annex, she Realize, crossed her arms, and looked at Saguru Hakuba helplessly, "Is he planning to let us be troubled by Curiosity all the Time?"
"No, it should only be you," Saguru Hakuba smiled and passed by Qiang Tian Yu Mei, entered the Annex, and Said to Chi Feichei who was walking in front, "But Brother Hassashi, what I want to ask you is not this either, although this is considered an unexpected gain..."
Qiang Tian Yu Mei: "..."
What this Matter, that Matter?
Can these Three People speak clearly?
This Feeling of being kept in suspense is too Uncomfortable, she... humph, she can investigate it herself!
