Chapter 116: Knocked Down with a Brick
The three Child followed the sound and found the Staircase leading upwards.
"Amazing! It really opened the Mechanism!"
"Did Brother Chi know all along?"
"Too cunning, you just watched us guess and didn't even give us a hint!"
Conan followed Chi Feichei up the Stairs, "When did you solve the Cipher?"
Chi Feichei was silent. How should he explain this? He hadn't paid any attention to the Cipher at all, okay?
"Forget it, I lost again this time," Conan said with deep resentment, "But you should be more honest, right? You clearly saw through the Cipher, but just now you said you weren't good at it."
"Knowing it directly is boring," Chi Feichei said calmly.
"Uh, you have a point..." Conan agreed with this statement, but he always felt that Chi Feichei looked at him just like he usually looked at the three Child when they were solving Doctor Agasa's Cipher.
This feeling wasn't good, it was like he was a Child in front of Chi Feichei.
Uh... Although even if he returned to his adult Body, Chi Feichei would still be three years older than him, but this gap was a bit too big, wasn't it?
Frustrated!
"This is... Ah!"
Screams of surprise came from the Staircase above.
And Hissashi's lively shout, "Master, come and see, there's a Corpse up here!"
Chi Feichei: "..."
What's Hissashi so excited about!
Conan quickly rushed up and was stunned for a moment when he saw the Corpse lying on the table, already turned into white bones. He stepped forward to check the Situation.
Doctor Agasa was also startled, "Who could this dead Person be?"
"That Old Person who lived here and was good with his hands," Chi Feichei directly gave the Answer.
Conan, who was about to speak, swallowed his words back and nodded, "I think the one who carved the Coin and drew the Cipher was him."
"Could it be that he was Killed here?" Doctor Agasa asked.
"No, I think he probably died of Heart Disease while writing a Letter. Look, there are Heart Disease Medication on the table," Conan said, leaning over the table to look at the Corpse, not afraid at all. He looked up and saw Chi Feichei Video Recording again, "..."
Chi Feichei collected more Evidence of Conan's abnormality and sent it to Zhi Ming Fukuyama, noting that it was a real Corpse.
"But how did he know about this Secret Chamber?" Doctor Agasa asked, full of questions, "This Place should only be known to my Uncle and Auntie who lived here!"
"There should be one more Person," Conan temporarily ignored Chi Feichei's little actions, mainly because it was useless even if he tried to stop him, "That is the Painter who painted Portraits for your Uncle and Auntie before your Uncle died of Illness. It wouldn't be possible to finish those Portraits in a day or two, he probably heard your Uncle mention the Secret Room at that time."
"Then why did he hide here?" Doctor Agasa transformed into a question baby, "And sent those strange Letters to my Auntie?"
Hissashi turned his Head and inadvertently saw a Heat signature coming from below, "Master, someone is coming up!"
"Time report," Chi Feichei said in a low voice.
The voice was very low, only Haibara Ai, who had been following Chi Feichei, heard it.
Haibara Ai looked at Chi Feichei in confusion, then sighed silently in her Heart. Auditory Hallucination again, huh?
Frankly speaking, Chi Feichei's Problem of suddenly talking to himself was quite terrifying to unfamiliar People, as if there was something invisible and intangible around.
Fortunately, they were all familiar with Chi Feichei and didn't mind...
"I think it's because of this, the Lead Plate for 20-dollar bills, it should be someone who Commissioned him to make Counterfeit Money," Conan didn't notice what was happening on their side, and had already taken out a Lead Plate from the Corpse's arms and threw it to Doctor Agasa, "Later, he changed his mind and left with the Lead Plate. In order to avoid the other party's pursuit, he hid here. The reason why he sent Letters to your Auntie was to thank your Auntie for letting him live here..."
Doctor Agasa caught the Lead Plate and looked at it, but it was taken away by a Hand. He looked at Chi Feichei in confusion.
Hissashi patiently reported the numbers, "Master, about ten seconds left, the other party will arrive at the Staircase behind, 10..."
Conan was still immersed in his Reasoning, "And he used Cipher to prevent People other than your Auntie from knowing that he lived in this Place. Your Auntie said that someone had rummaged through her mailbox, probably to find him. The Person who used a Knife to poke holes in the Toys left by Doctor Agasa and Brother Chi is probably also the Person who forced him to make Counterfeit Money..."
Hissashi: "2, 1..."
"Well said! I..." A Person came up the Stairs, and in the dim light, a dark object flew over.
Bang!
The Lead Plate thrown by Chi Feichei hit the man.
The man hadn't even had time to step onto the Staircase with one Foot, and leaned backwards. The Gun in his Hand fell to the Ground with a snap, and the Person also rolled down the Stairs with a thud.
In the Attic Secret Room, a group of People turned to look at the Staircase entrance, silent for a few seconds.
"Um... Did someone just speak?" Mitsuhiko sweated.
"I heard it too," Ayumi said weakly, "That Person seemed to be hit by Brother Chi's thrown Lead Plate and rolled down. I vaguely saw a Shadow..."
"Could it be that he Killed someone?" Genta looked terrified, "Then did Brother Chi commit Murder?"
"The other party is not a good Person," Haibara Ai stepped forward and picked up the Gun on the Ground, "He's still a dangerous element with a Weapon."
"Ah?" The three Child were startled.
Conan probably guessed the other party's Identity and laughed dryly in his Heart.
People who dared to commit crimes in front of Chi Feichei usually didn't have a good ending.
However, if the Criminal were always knocked down so simply and neatly, the Joy of exposing the Culprit's thoughts in Person would be gone...
Chi Feichei went downstairs first, controlled the man who was still dizzy from the fall, and turned his Head to see Doctor Agasa and a group of Child also following. He reminded, "Doctorate, call the Police."
"Okay!" Doctor Agasa hurriedly went to make a Phone Call.
Conan walked to Chi Feichei's side and looked at the Criminal who was still confused, "He should be the Person who destroyed everyone's Toys..."
*Chomp.*
Hissashi directly bit him, it was still waiting to receive Toys.
"Ah? Ah!" The Criminal came back to his senses and saw a Snake biting his Arm, struggling, "Snake! There's a Snake!"
*Thump!*
Chi Feichei directly pressed the Person to the Floor and knocked him unconscious.
Conan was stunned. Hissashi opening its mouth wide to bite someone looked a bit terrifying, "Why did Hissashi bite someone again?"
"It usually doesn't bite People, this is not a normal Situation." Chi Feichei let go of the unconscious Criminal, took out an Antivenom in a Syringe from his Outerwear Pocket, and skillfully gave him an injection.
Conan: "..."
He even carries Antivenom with him...
The Police arrived and took the Criminal away.
Kudo Yukiko, Disguise as 'Edogawa Fumiyo', the fat Auntie, drove over, greeted everyone with a smile, and took Conan away.
Kudo Yusaku did not show up, but around the mother and son, there was an extra Suspicious Person wearing a Mask, secretly watching 'Edogawa Fumiyo' take Conan to the Hospital for an Inspection.
Chi Feichei also followed to watch the fun. By the time Conan was tossed around by a round of Inspection, it was already eight o'clock in the evening.
Zhi Ming Fukuyama led Conan out of the Room and explained the Situation to 'Edogawa Fumiyo' with a smile.
Conan naturally didn't have any Mental Illness, but...
"Little friend, you have a lot of Worries in your Heart," Zhi Ming Fukuyama smiled and bent down to touch Conan's Head, "Is it your big Secret?"
Conan's Face was extremely unnatural, squeezing out a smile, "Uh, ye-yes..."
"You have a girl you like, right?" Zhi Ming Fukuyama added, "It's not good to fall in Romance too early, oh."
"I know." Conan nodded.
"So, this Child is fine, right, Doctor?" Kudo Yukiko asked with a smile.
Zhi Ming Fukuyama nodded with a smile, but the look in Conan's eyes still secretly hid a trace of solemnity. Something was wrong. He had watched the Video Recording sent by Chi Feichei. That kind of crazy State that seemed broken was terrifying. Also, such a big Child, actually getting so close to the Corpse and not being afraid at all, this was probably no longer something that could be explained by being brave, it was estimated that there was a bit of a Problem with his cognition.
Conan vaguely felt the strange gaze, his Heart trembled, and he looked up to see Zhi Ming Fukuyama still talking to his mother with a smile.
