Chapter 181 Saguru Hakuba: Is This a Test?
Before going to Doctor Agasa's House, Chi Feichei made a quick stop at a 4S Store. Seeing a Lexus SC model, he bought a red one.
He was used to seeing it, used to driving it, and was too lazy to change.
Afterwards, Chi Feichei went to report the car theft, replaced the license plate, and then called Doctor Agasa to let him know.
When he arrived at Doctor Agasa's House, it was already ten in the morning.
As soon as Doctor Agasa opened the door, he smelled a strong aroma of spices. Following the scent, he looked down at the food box in Chi Feichei's hand. "Mr. Chi, you brought something?"
Chi Feichei entered the Entrance. "There's a restaurant that makes a very special Clam Soup. I thought Doctor Agasa probably hasn't tried it, so I brought a serving for you to taste on the way."
Ai Haibara walked towards the Entrance, sniffing. "Cilantro, Star Anise… and many other strange fragrances."
"Sichuan Amomum, Cinnamon, Spikenard…" Chi Feichei listed them off, placing the food box on the Kitchen Counter.
Conan stopped in his tracks. "This isn't Clam Soup, it's Spice Soup, right? Is this kind of soup really drinkable?"
"It won't kill anyone."
That's all Chi Feichei could say.
Anyway, he had asked the Boss to add all the fragrant spices. Now, not only could he not smell the Anise Wine, he felt like he was a walking mass of weird gas.
"It's also a special experience."
"It's definitely special enough…" Conan said with a half-moon eye, complaining.
After putting down the food box, Chi Feichei turned to look at Conan, who seemed uninjured. "You don't have school today?"
"That…" Conan thought that Chi Feichei probably couldn't distinguish between rest days, but listening to Chi Feichei's cool tone, he felt that lying would have bad Consequences. "We asked for leave today…"
"They heard that Mr. Chi is going to the Museum this afternoon, and these two Children insisted on going to see!" Doctor Agasa said with a smile, helping to Cover-up.
Conan nodded in agreement. Yesterday was so exciting that he and Ai really planned to take a day off to rest.
"Mr. Chi, you're here to pick up Hissashi, right? Children sometimes come over, and we were worried that putting it in the Living Room would disturb it, so we put it in the Upstairs Empty Room," Doctor Agasa walked upstairs. "The Computer I installed for you is also ready, you can take it with you later. Are you going to have Lunch together later?"
Chi Feichei followed upstairs. His Computer was also gone in the explosion, so it was good that Doctor Agasa helped install a new one. "I have an appointment for Lunch, I'll leave after picking up Hissashi. Do you want to come with me?"
"Ah? Then No Need."
"Could he really be in Romance?" Conan didn't follow, waiting with Ai in the Living Room. He turned his Head and noticed Ai was in a daze. "What's wrong?"
"Nothing." Ai Haibara came back to her senses. She was struggling with the Ring Necklace. Just now she had checked and didn't see any Trace of the Necklace. It seemed Chi Feichei had been keeping it under his Clothes.
Conan didn't think much about it. He had carefully analyzed that Chi Feichei didn't have Time to save people and send Ai Haibara back. He whispered, "Don't worry, if you think you should leave, the Organization understands your Personality, and probably also Guess that you would leave Tokyo. Staying here at this Time is unexpectedly the safest."
Ai Haibara nodded. When Doctor Agasa came downstairs with the Computer and Chi Feichei, she Considered for a second, walked over, and when she reached Chi Feichei, she tripped…
Tripped… but didn't fall.
Chi Feichei was quick-handed and fast-eyed, using his left Hand, which wasn't holding the Warmer, to catch Ai Haibara. He let go after Ai Haibara stabilized herself, and patted Ai Haibara's Head. "Be careful."
Ai Haibara: "…"
She just wanted to fall to see if Chi Feichei would squat down and find it familiar.
Was there not even a chance to fall?
However, this Feeling is really good…
"Yes, Ai, be careful when walking," Doctor Agasa said, then turned to Chi Feichei. "Let me help put the Computer in your Car!"
"Troublesome, Doctor." Chi Feichei was still holding Hissashi's Warmer. If he held the Computer as well, it would indeed be inconvenient to open the Car Door.
However, what he found novel was that Loli really do fall for no reason…
Ai Haibara stood in place, reaching out to touch the Hair on top of her Head.
Conan noticed Ai Haibara's action, wanted to Say something, but fell into Silence again. He always felt that after last night, Ai Haibara had become a bit dazed. Could it be that she was frightened?
Guilt, self-blame…
Ai Haibara noticed a strange Gaze beside her, put down her Hand, turned her Head, and looked at Conan calmly. "Is there something wrong with me?"
Conan: "…"
This… seems to be the original Ai Haibara?
"…By the Way, is Mr. Chi having Lunch with that big star Miss Chris Vineyard?" Outside the Door, Doctor Agasa chatted with Chi Feichei.
"Chris? How does Doctor know I know Chris?" Chi Feichei asked.
"Oops!"
Conan Speechless, went out, and indeed saw Doctor Agasa looking tangled. He quickly acted cute and explained with a smile, "It's the Report! Yesterday, a Murder Case seemed to have happened at Beito Municipal Hotel, and the News reported the Scene. We Seemingly saw Brother Chi and that big star standing together!"
Doctor Agasa gossiped, "So, Mr. Chi's Lunch partner is indeed…"
Chi Feichei didn't pursue the question. "No, she's probably already returned to her country."
"Didn't leave a Phone Call?" Doctor Agasa pressed.
"No," Chi Feichei pretended not to be familiar with Belmode. "Last night she talked to me about a Movie based on my Mother as the Female Lead Prototype, so we chatted for a while."
"That's a Pity." Doctor Agasa looked regretful. These Children are really worrying. Elementary School Student Romance, and those who should be in Romance are like they haven't opened their minds… Sigh!
Chi Feichei felt that Doctor Agasa's Gaze was a bit strange, but didn't think much about it. Seeing that the Computer and Warmer had been put in the Car, he got in the Car. "Then I'll take my leave first. Conan, tell Teacher Mouri that I'll introduce a big Client to him tomorrow afternoon."
"Oh, okay!" Conan nodded blankly. Chi Feichei really kept in mind introducing Clients to Uncle…
…
Back Home, after putting Hissashi and the Computer in the Room, Chi Feichei went to buy Food Ingredients. He had just started cooking when the Doorbell rang. A group of High School Student were standing at the Entrance.
"That…" Kuroba Kaito looked helpless.
"Hello, I'm Aoko Nakamori, Kaito's Classmate, Sorry for disturbing you!"
"Hello, my name is Keiko Momoi, also Kaito's Classmate, Sorry for disturbing you!"
The two High School Student girls smiled lively and cheerfully. Beside them, Koizumi Akako nodded to Chi Feichei and entered the Door first.
However, why is Terai Kiichirou, Assistant also here?
"Sorry for disturbing you." Terai Kiichirou, Assistant smiled amiably.
"It's okay, please come in." Chi Feichei stepped aside, looking at the last one…
"Hello, I am Saguru Hakuba, also Kaito's Classmate," Saguru Hakuba looked directly at Chi Feichei, also sizing him up and observing. He smiled and looked at the Eagle on his shoulder. "This is Watson."
The Eagle flapped its Wings and chirped softly.
"Dangerous Human!"
Saguru Hakuba didn't understand the Eagle's Words, but Chi Feichei understood. His Gaze paused on the Eagle for a moment. "Please come in."
The Eagle was coldly stared at by Chi Feichei, a little ruffled, but still raised its Head, maintaining a majestic appearance. "Hmph, Human, what are you looking at? Haven't you seen a mighty Eagle before?"
"Not really." Chi Feichei muttered.
Eagle: "…"
Is this Human replying to its Words?
Saguru Hakuba was also stunned. "Wh-what?"
Chi Feichei said calmly, "Never seen such a narcissistic little Eagle."
"Is that so, Thank You for the compliment…" Saguru Hakuba always felt that Chi Feichei's Words were a bit illogical. This is a Detective's Feeling!
The Eagle was a little guilty, tentatively chirping, "Idiot?"
Chi Feichei was too lazy to pay attention. He noticed Kuroba Kaito was greeting the others to change shoes as if he were in his own Home, so he didn't Say anything more and went to the Kitchen. "The Food Ingredients have just started cooking."
Eagle: "I feel you are very dangerous, Human. Let me tell you, the Human who raises me is a Famous Detective High School Detective…"
Kuroba Kaito changed his shoes first and followed. "Sorry about this, I didn't expect them all to come. Will there be enough Food Ingredients?"
Eagle: "If you've done Bad Deeds, and something is Searched out by me, he will let the Police come and Grab you!"
"If there's not enough, I'll go buy more!" Terai Kiichirou, Assistant quickly said.
Eagle: "If you are a murderer…"
"I bought a lot, it should be enough…" Chi Feichei said, hearing the Eagle's Words at the Entrance, turned his Head to Look, stare.
There are some Things in his Home that cannot be discovered. If this Eagle really finds them, it will be Troublesome.
The Eagle's feathers puffed up. "Using your Gaze to scare me? I… I…"
"If you dare to fly around, today we'll eat Stewed Eagle," Chi Feichei threatened, retracted his Gaze, and saw Saguru Hakuba, who was changing shoes, looking at him blankly. He said calmly, without changing his expression, "Bird Feather falling into the pot is very Troublesome, After All, it's Hot Pot."
"Also Correct…" Saguru Hakuba looked at the Eagle suspiciously. "I will control it. It's usually very quiet, I don't know why, it's been calling out non-stop since entering the Door… Hmm? It seems to have calmed down."
The Eagle pretended to be Wood on Saguru Hakuba's shoulder, not moving, not calling, not even turning its eyeballs.
Calmed down?
Its heart is not calm at all, okay!
It suspects that this Human can understand its Words!
Chi Feichei saw that the Eagle had compromised and didn't Say anything more.
After Chi Feichei went to the Kitchen, Kuroba Kaito greeted the group to sit down again. There was No Method, if Chi Feichei were to entertain the Guests, it was estimated that there would be more Times of awkward Silence, it would be better for him to do it. "By the Way, do you want to drink some Juice? Brother Hassashi, is there Juice in the Refrigerator?"
"Yes, get it yourself." Chi Feichei responded from the Kitchen.
"Let me do it!" Terai Kiichirou, Assistant smiled with satisfaction, got up and went to the Refrigerator to get Juice.
This one is cooking personally, and Young Master Kaito is also acting like he's in his own Home. The brothers' Feelings are really good.
After Saguru Hakuba sat on the Sofa, he frowned and pondered.
No, the few Words Chi Feichei said to him just now were very strange.
Is it recognizing him and giving him a Test? A Mystery? Or a code?
Beside him, Keiko Momoi and Aoko Nakamori were Chatting. Turning her Head, she saw Saguru Hakuba sitting like a stone sculpture. "Classmate Hakuba, what's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"
"No…" Saguru Hakuba said seriously, "I heard that Mr. Chi has helped the Police solve several Cases, and is also a Disciple of Famous Detective Mori Kogoro. I came here today to pay a visit, but the Logic of what he said just now is very strange. I'm wondering if it's some kind of Mystery?"
Koizumi Akako sat aside, reminding Speechless, "You're overthinking it."
Kuroba Kaito was stunned for a moment. He originally wanted to laugh at Saguru Hakuba for being so serious, but when he thought that Chi Feichei was Ill, he couldn't laugh anymore, and his expression became extremely weird. "Cough, that… he should be having Auditory Hallucination…"
