**Chapter 377: The Handwriting Isn't Very Good**
Afterwards, the police also investigated the personal belongings of the people attending the vigil.
Based on the present situation, the Murderer took Hei Jiang Nai Xu Zi's Dugong Arrow. However, after the Investigation, among the people present, only Kazuha Toyama and Benzou Kadowaki, who had drawn the number tag earlier, had a Dugong Arrow on them.
After exchanging a few words with a Police Officer, Hattori Heiji walked over and sat beside Conan, lowering his voice, "Don't worry, I've already asked the Police to help us look for Brother Hichiji. Do you have any clues on your end?"
"Completely none," Conan said with a heavy expression, having no appetite at all. "Currently, the only things we can confirm are Miss Sumi and Ms. Naoko, the Victims, and Kadomaki Sa, who is missing..."
Hattori Heiji saw Conan pause and asked doubtfully, "What's wrong?"
"Nothing, I just suddenly remembered the incident with Ye Caisan last time, 'a group of people'..." Conan felt like laughing a bit, but couldn't. "Cough, have you realized it?"
Hattori Heiji was stunned for a moment, then understood.
That time, after hearing those people's names, Conan had teased Chi Feichi, saying he was 'a group of people' with them.
Things like Crab and Isobe were all sea creatures, related to water, and Chi Feichi's name also had water in it.
Speaking of which, the Victims and missing person this time are the same: Sea, River, Sand... Plus Chi Feichi's 'Ike', it's complete!
Brother Hichiji must have bad luck with water... Huh? Wait, what does this have to do with what's happening now?
"Hey, don't tell me you think names are the murder motive?"
"How is that possible," Conan said with half-moon eyes. "I just suddenly realized it and thought it was quite a coincidence. Brother Chi was also attacked by the Murderer that time."
Hattori Heiji was even more speechless. If it's unrelated to the matters, why say so?
But thinking of Chi Feichi's Pocket, which was like a treasure chest last time, he suddenly felt a little relieved.
As long as Brother Hichiji hasn't changed that problem of his, even if he falls into the Sea again this time, he should be fine.
Conan became serious, "The three people besides Brother Chi, they seemingly deeply believed in Lady Mei's strength and were very obsessed with the Dugong Arrow. This extent of obsession is truly astonishing..."
"That's right, Brother Hichiji's matter can't be included," Hattori Heiji couldn't help but look towards Benzou Kadowaki, who was sitting there eating and drinking. "I also think those three people were killed or forced to flee because they were involved with the Dugong Arrow. But just that alone, we still can't know who got which number tag..."
"No," Shimabukuro Kimiie, who heard the two people whispering beside them, said, "That is something you can know!"
"Huh?" Hattori Heiji immediately looked towards her.
"To avoid getting the number tags wrong, everyone writes their names on the roster every year. This time, because many things happened, I didn't have time to verify the winners," Shimabukuro Kimiie explained, getting up and asking, "Do you want to check that roster?"
Although Chi Feichi was still at her Todai Residence, bringing these people home was very risky, but she had to push the suspicion away as quickly as possible.
Also... based on the dosage of medication she administered, Chi Feichi was about to wake up. She had to go 'replenish' the medicinal effect. Being hungry for two days shouldn't kill him, however, should she feed him some water?
"Of course!" Hattori Heiji quickly agreed.
A group of people went out. Mori Kogoro rarely drank too much. Mainly, as soon as he saw liquor, he remembered the Maotai Chi Feichi had left him last night, and then remembered that his Eldest Disciple was still missing, and suddenly felt a bit unable to drink.
"I say, is Fei Chi's phone still unreachable?"
"Uh-huh, I've already called," Hattori Heiji said. "Afterwards, we'll check the roster, then come back to the Hotel and check if he's gone back."
"Kimiie..."
From the Rear, Fukuyama Rokuro called out to Shimabukuro Kimiie, "I know the timing is wrong now, but can you consider the matter I said... I'm very serious."
"No," Shimabukuro Kimiie said softly. "This is not only unfair to the deceased Sumi, moreover, I still have my Great-grandmother to care for, so it's unlikely that I can leave this Kojima... I'm very sorry."
"You... you Whether or Not..."
Fukuyama Rokuro hesitated to speak out but finally didn't continue, turning around and leaving.
Outside the Door, Hattori Heiji and Conan exchanged a glance.
Currently, Benzou Kadowaki and Fukuyama Rokuro are both suspects.
Benzou Kadowaki is suspected because of the number tag. Ebihara Sumi was originally supposed to have drawn the Dugong Arrow, but after Ebihara Sumi died, the people who took the tag to get the arrow, besides Kazuha Toyama, were Hei Jiang Nai Xu Zi and Benzou Kadowaki.
One of these two people very possibly killed Ebihara Sumi and took the number tag, falsely claiming the Dugong Arrow.
And Chi Feichi had contact with Benzou Kadowaki, so the root cause of his disappearance could also be here.
As for Fukuyama Rokuro...
They had discussed it with Chi Feichi last night. Fukuyama Rokuro didn't like his Fiancée Ebihara Sumi. From the contact since last night until now, it seemed Fukuyama Rokuro liked Shimabukuro Kimiie, while Shimabukuro Kimiie didn't have that intention towards Fukuyama Rokuro.
Then, Chi Feichi might also have not made any discovery, but was just called out by Fukuyama Rokuro because of Shimabukuro Kimiie's attitude...
...
Todai Residence.
Hattori Heiji's conjecture came true.
Chi Feichi was chatting with Gin on the Organization's online platform while munching on compressed biscuits.
Asking him why he had things like dry food on him?
When going out, it's to prepare against any accident or being trapped somewhere and starving to death...
Actually, if he wanted to get out, it would be very easy. He had Pry Door Tools on him. However, he was too lazy to go out.
[In other words, now you're pretending to be attacked by this time's Criminal, but actually hiding in the Warehouse and secretly watching? Aren't you worried that you'll miscalculate and be killed?! -Gin]
[Even if I miscalculate and am subdued by her, it's unlikely she'll murder. She doesn't have time. Before, she was busy attending the vigil, and afterwards, that group of Detectives will be constantly staring at her. After killing me, she won't have time to dispose of the corpse, unless she arranged to meet me on the Mountain initially. But if she were to do that, I wouldn't eat anything she handed over. The one who ends up unlucky would be her -Raki]
On the small Window above, a seagull flew in, holding a bottle of mineral water it got from somewhere in its claw.
"Thanks." Chi Feichi unscrewed the bottle cap and drank the water, then handed the bottle and the compressed biscuits bag to the seagull, letting it take them out to destroy. He continued to read Gin's reply.
[So you're confident and fearless. However, you can tell all this from the water vapor in the Bathroom. You're truly sharp enough. Is the computer battery still enough? Monitoring can't be interrupted. -Gin]
[Rest assured, there's a power outlet Inside the Room. The battery level was always full before. However, I guess she's coming back soon. To avoid her coming back and making a discovery that the outlet is getting hot, I've already unplugged it. -Raki]
Gin was a bit speechless.
Raki is truly bored, playing around with the Criminal like this...
[How is that Woman? Based on your description, she's a very careful person. -Gin]
[Soft-hearted, and she's going to be caught very soon. -Raki]
[You have quite a lot of confidence in your Teacher. -Gin]
Two more seagulls flew in. One of them was holding a small digital camera in its claw.
"Thanks for your hard work."
Chi Feichi received the camera. This was something he bought by the way when he changed clothes at the Department Store before coming.
It was used for taking photos of the roster for the celebration registration on Mermaid Island.
These seagulls knew which Room the Roster was in. Trying to pull Drawers and open Cabinets Should be no Problem. Taking photos is a bit difficult, however, with patience and teaching them twice, and having multiple seagulls cooperating, they should be able to use the camera.
Originally, he was just letting the seagulls try. If that didn't work, he would slip out and take photos himself. However, now it seems, the photos turned out pretty well.
He connected the camera to the computer, selected a photo, and sent it over to Gin.
[Not just my Teacher, there's also a High School Detective Hattori Heiji. She can't escape... By the way, check this out... -Raki]
On the photo, it was a page from the roster, with Shiho Miyano's name on it.
After a while, Gin replied:
[After the matter of Longevity Granny was widely reported three years ago, Sherry wanted to check it out for drug research. Vodka and I went along. -Gin]
After Sherry's defection, her original name and other information were made public within the Organization.
Chi Feichi also knew this.
Gin was reminding Chi Feichi: This matter wasn't Sherry acting on her own, so there's no need to Investigation. Sherry has no connection to Mermaid Island and should not have run to Mermaid Island.
This was to avoid Chi Feichi thinking he had obtained some clues and wasting time on Investigation.
In Gin's opinion, Chi Feichi specially took a photo and sent it to him, guessing he also wanted to confirm it with him.
[You and Vodka have also been here? Which name? -Raki]
[Kurosawa Jin and Uotsuka Saburo. Is there a problem with the names? Don't tell me you think we would use our true names? -Gin]
[Whether it's their true name isn't important. I'm not investigating you. It's just unexpected that you would also participate in this kind of activity... -Raki]
Only people who bought a number tag and participated in the Dugong Arrow drawing activity needed to write down their names.
In other words, Gin, Vodka, and Sherry all bought number tags...
Gin, far away in Tokyo, looked a bit grim.
Why did he feel like Chi Feichi went to collect his Embarrassing Past?
[Is that not allowed? -Gin]
[It's allowed, but honestly, your handwriting isn't very good. -Raki]
Chi Feichi made a sweeping statement.
He criticized three people at once...
Gin: "..."
Tell me properly, where is his handwriting ugly?
He really wanted to wait until Chi Feichi comes back, put the roster and pen aside, put the gun on the other side, and say to Chi Feichi: Come on, write it for me to see!
But he only thought about it. Since Chi Feichi dared to mock like this, he was definitely certain he could write better than him...
He should have said back then: "Why go to Mermaid Island? Don't go, I have important matters for you," and kept Chi Feichi in Tokyo.
[Just kidding, it's much better than others. That's enough talk, the person is coming back soon. Before I go back, I'll help you clear the roster a bit. -Raki]
In Tokyo, a black Porsche 356A (Car Model) was driving on the Street.
Gin didn't reply again.
Although he doesn't care about that roster, it's good if it can be cleaned up.
He silently used his mobile phone on the Organization Platform to create a folder, put in the video of Chi Feichi biting rabbits and biting Laboratory Mice, Encryption, Encryption, Encryption.
Raki's Incriminating Material is hard to find. This video barely counts as one. It can prove that Raki has Pica, and he can't quibble away from it...!
