Chapter 187 Apologies, Overdid It
"Yes," Kana Meifang frowned slightly, "Every time I answer, I hear a slightly hoarse male voice, constantly saying 'Mon ami' or 'Jutem'."
"As long as I answer the Phone Call, he hangs up immediately," Yoshinori Kana said.
"Then who do you suspect this person is?" Mori Kogoro asked again.
"Actually, we only have this," Kana Meifang stepped forward, took out a stack of Photos from the Drawer, and handed them to Mori Kogoro, "We also received this when we received the Letter."
Chi Feichei hadn't figured out the Emotion Transformation just now, so he didn't think too much about it, glancing sideways, "Stalking Photos?"
Kana Meifang nodded, looking worried, "These were placed Outside the Door with Marigold this morning, they seem to be Photos taken yesterday. Just thinking about someone constantly staring at me makes me feel so scared."
Mori Kogoro was comforting her when Tokudaiji Masayo arrived, "Chairman, there are new Guests again."
A group of people went Downstairs. Those who came were Kana Hideki, Yoshinori Kana's younger brother, and Michelle, Gerald Tenma's manager.
After introductions, Kana Hideki pulled Yoshinori Kana aside to whisper.
Conan was about to follow when he noticed Chi Feichei also quietly leaving the crowd. He glanced over and saw the two of them stealthily going to the Corner to eavesdrop.
"Elder Brother, why did you let outsiders come over?" Kana Hideki was dissatisfied, "Now is the most important moment for us to sign a contract with Gerald!"
Yoshinori Kana sneered, "To hell with the contract! Isn't it because you went to France without permission and brought back that ghost Gerald?"
"I did this entirely for the sake of the Company!" Kana Hideki retorted, "Elder Brother has no Reason to be dissatisfied with this, right?"
"Entirely for the Company, that's what you Say," Yoshinori Kana stared directly at Kana Hideki, "If this Plan fails, you won't be able to let Meifang See your strengths."
Kana Hideki's Face changed, "W-What are you talking about?"
Yoshinori Kana took a step closer, "You're clearly trying every Method to get close to Meifang!"
"I didn't do that," Kana Hideki retorted, "If we're really talking about it, what's the Relationship between Elder Brother and Tokudaiji? People in the Company have already spread rumors about it."
Yoshinori Kana visibly became nervous, "Nonsense! There's nothing between her and me."
"In any case, no matter what, I will definitely make this contract a success!" Kana Hideki finished speaking and turned to leave angrily.
Chi Feichei had already taken a step ahead, picking up Conan and flashing into the Door, watching the brothers re-enter the Banquet Hall.
Once he was put down, Conan looked at Chi Feichei in confusion, "Are you interested in this intimidation Incident?"
Chi Feichei nodded. While playing mind games with the Organization, coming over to solve a Case to relax wasn't bad.
But Pity, he remembered a bit about this Case, losing a lot of the Joy of decryption.
This Madam Meifang and Gerald Tenma have an unclear Relationship.
If Madam Meifang dies, then Gerald Tenma is the Culprit.
If Gerald Tenma dies, then Madam Meifang is the Culprit.
If someone else dies... cough, then it might be an Accident, or he remembered it wrong.
"Is your State alright?" Conan sized up Chi Feichei with suspicion.
The way Chi Feichei laughed just now could scare Children to tears, okay?
"I'm fine," Chi Feichei had already returned to calmness, "I just remembered something from when I was a Child just now."
"What Matter?" Conan asked in a low voice, "Is it related to this intimidation?"
"No," Chi Feichei thought for a moment, still feeling vague, "Actually, I don't remember very clearly either."
Conan nodded, then asked again, "Do you think what Mr. Hideki and Mr. Yoshinori Said just now is true? Mr. Hideki seems to like his sister-in-law, and Mr. Yoshinori has an ambiguous Relationship with Secretary Tokudaiji..."
"Not sure," Chi Feichei said, "However, it's normal for such people's Emotions to be chaotic. It doesn't exist in my family, which has been passed down through a single line of descent."
"Uh..." Conan was Speechless, could this be considered self-praise?
While the two were talking, the others in the Living Room had left one after another.
Conan stepped forward to remind, "Uncle Mori, is it really alright not to protect Madam Meifang?"
"How can I enter a Woman's Dressing Room?" Mori Kogoro retorted, "Ran, you go."
"That's true..." Mouri Ran nodded.
The Lights in the Venue suddenly went out, and thunder rumbled Outside. A moment later, Kana Meifang's scream came from Upstairs.
"Help!"
A group of people rushed to the Second Floor. Mori Kogoro tried to open the Door but couldn't, "The Door is locked!"
Chi Feichei directly kicked out, violently dismantling the Door.
The Door Panel flew out, smashing towards the Balcony, sending the Black Shadow beside Kana Meifang flying out and falling towards the Cliff below.
Mouri Ran, who was about to speak: "..."
Kana Meifang, who narrowly avoided the Door Panel: "..."
Mori Kogoro: "..."
Conan: "..."
Everything happened too fast, the amount of Information in an instant was too much, making people unable to react for a moment.
Someone attacked Kana Meifang, and then was smashed down the Cliff by Chi Feichei's violent Door dismantling?
Chi Feichei also didn't expect it to be such a coincidence, and said with a calm Face, "Sorry, overdid it."
Mori Kogoro, who was running towards the Balcony, staggered and almost had a flat fall. He hurriedly turned his Head to Glance at Chi Feichei, then ran to the Balcony and looked down Outside the window.
Below the Cliff, the Sea waves surged, without a single Human Shadow.
The Lights in the Room turned on again. Kana Hideki ran into the Door and helped Kana Meifang, who had fallen to the side, up, "What happened?"
"The Circuit Breaker in the Room seems to have been pulled up!" Yoshinori Kana also rushed over and helped Kana Meifang up, "Meifang, what's wrong?"
Kana Meifang threw herself into Yoshinori Kana's arms, trembling, "J-Just now, someone suddenly attacked me..."
She was really frightened. The play she directed and acted in was originally not dangerous, but she was almost smashed down the Cliff by a Door Panel...
Acting is risky, entering the industry requires Vigilance!
"Hey, kid!" Mori Kogoro didn't See any Human Shadow below the Cliff, turned his Head to roar at Chi Feichei, "Don't use so much Strength when dismantling Doors in the future! Now that the person has fallen, if the person is dead..."
"It was an Accident to save someone," Chi Feichei knew that Mori Kogoro was worried about him, and didn't have any resentment, calmly said, "The Kana family's Doors may be a bit old and in disrepair."
Mori Kogoro: "..."
This... seriously talking nonsense?
"What happened to the Door?" Yoshinori Kana turned his Head to Look and then realized that his Home's Door was gone.
Mouri Ran explained about Chi Feichei violently kicking the Door, and as a result, the flying Door Panel smashed the attacker down.
Yoshinori Kana immediately nodded, "That's right, my Home's Doors are old and in disrepair, they can be kicked flying with just a little Strength. As for that person being smashed down, it's definitely an Accident!"
Mori Kogoro was Speechless for a moment, but if it was just a little Strength, could it directly smash a living person out of the Balcony?
He didn't want to trick his disciple, but such black and white reversal was a bit unbearable to watch...
"Uncle, Report to Police," Conan reminded, "Let the Police quickly search for people. This Cliff is not high, and below is the Sea, and the Door Panel also flew out. The final landing Place should not be far from that Thug. Even if he can't swim, maybe he can use the Door Panel to drift Downstream, he should be alright."
"Y-Yes, also Correct..." Mori Kogoro went to Report to Police.
Kana Meifang was nervous in her heart. If the Police found something Downstream, her Plan would be over. She hurriedly turned her Head to Look at the Table and exclaimed, "That is..."
Mouri Ran also looked over and found a bunch of Fresh Flowers on the Table, "B-Bellflower?"
"Ran, this Flower name also appears in Gerald's Song Lyrics, right?" Conan tensed up for a moment, then relaxed.
This time, the Criminal won't be solved by Chi Feichei inexplicably again, right?
Huh? Why did he Say 'again'?
Thinking carefully about the Criminals who had suffered in Chi Feichei's hands, those who were knocked unconscious by their Heads, those who were knocked unconscious by Shoulder Throw, those who were smashed down the Stairs by Lead Block, those who were smashed flying out of the Balcony by Door Panel... uh, so miserable.
Speaking of which, could this Fellow Chi Feichei have violent tendencies?
"Those Song Lyrics... Red Passionate Love Rhapsody?" Mouri Ran recalled, "There are Rose, Marigold, Bellflower in it..."
Mori Kogoro came back after Report to Police, "In that case, those Words sent by the Criminal before were from the Song Lyrics?"
At the Entrance, Tokudaiji Masayo suddenly sang softly, "I will always, always silently watch over you, feeling your Sound, I am infinitely joyful..."
"Out of tune," Chi Feichei reminded.
Tokudaiji Masayo: "..."
Others: "..."
Conan: "..."
He suspected that Chi Feichei also had Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder, the kind that feels uncomfortable when seeing flaws!
"Cough," Yoshinori Kana coughed dryly, turning back to the main topic, "Then, that person is deliberately mystifying things according to Gerald Tenma's Song Lyrics, trying to make Meifang uncomfortable, right?"
"Uncomfortable?" Kana Hideki was puzzled.
Tokudaiji Masayo also recovered from the embarrassment, her Tone strange, "In other Words, someone is now harassing our beautiful Madam."
"Everyone, although this Banquet is not over yet, I still have to ask everyone," Mori Kogoro looked at Yoshinori Kana with a serious Face, "You were the one who pulled back the Circuit Breaker just now, right?"
Yoshinori Kana nodded, "Yes, it was when I rushed over and was going Upstairs, I pulled it up casually."
Mori Kogoro turned his Head to Look at Kana Hideki again, "Mr. Hideki, where were you just now?"
"Mr. Morita, you are..." Kana Hideki hesitated.
"Sorry," Mori Kogoro looked serious, "Actually, my surname is not Morita, but Detective Mori Kogoro."
Kana Hideki and Tokudaiji Masayo's Faces both changed, appearing somewhat surprised.
"That famous..."
"It is I," Mori Kogoro responded, then asked Kana Meifang again, "You locked the Door just now, right?"
"Yes," Kana Meifang looked scared, "I had just finished touching up my makeup when the Lights suddenly went out, and then someone attacked me from behind."
"Didn't you See the Culprit's appearance?" Conan asked.
"No..." Kana Meifang said.
Mouri Ran and Mori Kogoro looked at each other, the Human Shadow flying out just now was too fast, they didn't See anything clearly either.
"In any case, the Police have agreed to search Downstream," Mori Kogoro said, "When the Thug is found, we will know who he is, we..."
At the Entrance, the Sound of Water Drops falling came.
A group of people looked over and saw Gerald Tenma standing at the Entrance, dressed in Black Clothes, soaked all over, immediately attracting Mori Kogoro's Vigilance Gaze.
Conan also became suspicious. After Mori Kogoro called a group of people Downstairs, he said seriously to Chi Feichei, who also stayed in the Room, "Mr. Gerald is soaked all over..."
"The shoe opening, armpits, and Trouser Leg under the Overcoat are not wet, he didn't fall into the Water," Chi Feichei said, "He just got rained on."
