Chapter 368: This Pace Feels Off
"Is that so?" Hattori Shizuka hesitated for a moment, then quickly laughed, "But since we're here, I should still pay a visit, and also take the opportunity to appreciate Mr. Mouri's style and ability."
Hattori Heiji rested his hand on the table, propping up his chin, and said speechlessly, "You could have just said you wanted to test him out..."
"Heiji~" Hattori Shizuka turned her head to look at Hattori Heiji with a smile.
Hattori Heiji: "..."
Alright, alright, he won't say anything else, okay?
Chi Feichei looked at Hattori Heiji, "Then what time are we leaving?"
"The passenger ship tonight, we'll go to the wharf in Shizuoka to board the ship, stay on the ship for one night, and we should arrive roughly tomorrow," Hattori Heiji said, "Oh, right, is Hissashi in hibernation? Should we take it with us this time?"
"No, it doesn't seem to want to hibernate, but it also doesn't want to Go Out," Chi Feichei explained, "There's air conditioning at Home, it probably won't go this time either."
Hissashi has been recently obsessed with Kendama, and probably wouldn't want to brave the cold wind and run to a small island with him.
Moreover, Non-Ink also needs to recover from its Injury and wait for its Feather to grow back, it can't run around casually, and staying Home together will also provide mutual support.
"Is it okay to leave it at Home?" Hattori Shizuka asked.
"It's fine," Chi Feichei said, "It won't run around, just prepare Clear Water and Food for it."
After Lunch, Hattori Shizuka went to Mori Detective Agency.
Chi Feichei took Hattori Heiji and Kazuha Toyama to stroll around Tokyo.
And also replied to Gin's Email.
[Midorikawa's Intelligence gathering is very detailed, we should be able to take Action against that Program Designer after a while, do you want me to find someone to Cooperate? ——Gin]
That's just finding someone to intimidate, bribe, threaten, and so on...
[No Need to bother, I have a Method, I'll Say So when I get back to Tokyo in a couple of days. ——Raki]
[Understood, you're the only one in the entire Organization running around all day long... Going on a long trip again this time? Can I contact you? ——Gin]
[Going to Mermaid Island, there's Signal. ——Raki]
[When are you leaving? If it's convenient, please do me a favor, let's meet up later... ——Gin]
Chi Feichei looked at the Email and fell silent.
Sending Emails to Gin while being around Hattori Heiji is already reckless enough, and meeting Gin again before setting off...
It feels like there's a Danger of his Alias being exposed, but it's not like there's no Opportunity.
[Going to Shizuoka Wharf to board the Ship tonight, I'm with other people right now, but I should have Time to be alone later, I'll contact you then. ——Raki]
[Is it convenient? ——Gin]
This is asking if he will be discovered to be Abnormality...
[No Problem. ——Raki]
Beside him, Hattori Heiji returned after finishing his Phone Call, "My Old Mom called, saying she's going to Shizuoka with Uncle Mori, I intend to go over and take a Look, then we can take a Car to the Wharf together, Hassashi-nii, do you want to go take a Look together?"
"I'm going Home to settle Hissashi and Non-Ink," Chi Feichei said naturally, "And tidy up my Things, so I won't go over, I'll see you at the Wharf later."
See, the Opportunity to be alone has come, hasn't it?
Absolutely conforms to Logic, leaves no Opening.
If there are no Accidents, Conan, Mori Kogoro, and Hattori Heiji going to Shizuoka will again have a Case to hold those people back, and until before boarding the Ship, he will have Time to be alone.
"Also Correct! You came to pick us up early in the morning, and took us around for half a Day, you haven't even packed your Things yet, then we'll go take a Look," Hattori Heiji didn't think too much, and turned his Head to Kazuha Toyama who was still picking out Things in the Shop, "Kazuha, let's go, we're going to find my Old Mom..."
Watching the two leave, Chi Feichei went into the Washroom, not in a hurry to Call.
Today's Pace is really not quite right.
It always feels like Heavens is going to set him up to expose his Identity as an Organization Member.
If he rushes to contact Gin, and when he's on the Phone Call with Gin, Hattori Heiji suddenly has something and makes a surprise return, and just happens to hear it...
Not long after, faint Footsteps came from outside the Compartment, and the Sound of the Water Tap being turned on.
A moment later, Kazuha Toyama's voice came, "Heiji, are you done yet?"
"Done!"
Outside the Compartment, was a certain black-skinned person's voice gradually moving away, "Honestly, if you hadn't suddenly dropped Ice Cream on my Shoe, I wouldn't have had to turn back to clean it up..."
Chi Feichei stood in the Compartment, and waited until the Washroom was completely quiet before opening the Door of the Compartment and going out.
It really is Heavens's Routine!
Actually, his biggest Opening right now is probably still with the black-skinned Heiji...
In the Ye Caisan Incident, he and Hattori Heiji stayed in a Room on the Cruise Ship, and it was also at that Time that That Person contacted him for the first time.
At that Time, he hadn't thought that he would join the Organization like this, and after discovering the Key Tone Problem of the Email Address, he deliberately turned up the Key Tone volume, and repeatedly confirmed several times that it was the Melody of "Seven Children", thereby knowing who was sending him Emails.
At that Time, although Hattori Heiji was asleep, he was also paying attention the whole time, and could confirm that Hattori Heiji wasn't pretending to be asleep, and hadn't woken up midway either, but who knows if Hattori Heiji might have left some Impression in a daze...
That Opening that Time is unlikely to let Conan or Hattori Heiji lock onto him, but if Heavens wants to set him up, he still needs to be careful.
...
Chi Feichei returned Home, not in a hurry to make a Phone Call to Gin, settled Hissashi and Non-Ink, packed his Things, and first made a Phone Call to Koizumi Akako.
"Hongzi, I feel like I'm being targeted by Heavens."
"Heavens is targeting you? Have you already reached the Degree of confronting the World's Will? However, the World's Will shouldn't target you either..."
"In my eyes, the World, Time is Dislocation, this year is already the second Winter."
"If it's not your own Mental Illness Problem, then it's probably that the World's Will has little influence on you... Let me Say So, the World's Will operates according to certain rules, we... no, there should be three types of people, one type is Ordinary Person, they can only live according to the rules of the World's Will, the World in their eyes is the World constructed by the World's Will, and fate is also decided within the rules of the World's Will, unable to jump out, and people like me, Divination is to peep into the rules of the World's Will, peep into the Development Class Path of fate's future, and can appropriately twist and change it in a Direction that is beneficial to oneself, As For you... you may be the third type of person, I don't quite Understand either..."
"Then I Understand, Thank You."
Simply put, it's jumping out of the Three Realms, not within the Five Elements?
Chi Feichei felt that Koizumi Akako's Words were very comforting.
At least when he thought of those inconveniences caused by Time Problems, he didn't feel so irritable.
Of course, ignoring the Sentence 'if it's not your own Mental Illness Problem'... he really isn't sick.
However, Koizumi Akako also pointed out a possibility—
Heavens's Routine is a Procedure that is running, not targeting him, but targeting all Organization Member who encounter Conan, but he can jump out of this Routine.
Saying So is Also Correct, as long as he is more alert, and perceives the signs that the Routine is coming in advance, he avoided it once today.
"You're welcome, By the Way, I met Xiao-Miao today," Koizumi Akako said, "Just like what I saw in the Magic Ball."
"What did you two chat about?" Chi Feichei asked casually.
"Didn't chat about anything, personally met, gave her the Gift, and I left." Koizumi Akako said as a Matter of course.
Chi Feichei: "..."
Suddenly wanted to know how stunned Ai was at that Time...
"I can't help it, she's from you and Light Demon's side," Koizumi Akako said, "You guys are very Troublesome."
Chi Feichei couldn't refute, Conan's Death God Protagonist Aura really is contagious, it just feels like he was classified by Koizumi Akako as Fellow Birds with Conan, quite innocent, "What did you give her?"
"A Talisman that prevents hair loss from staying up late, she still has to Research a pile of Data after playing Game in the morning, I've long wanted to give her this," Koizumi Akako said, "But I later added a blessing to the Talisman that prevents getting inflamed from eating spicy Food, she can also eat spicy Cuisine casually in the future, and can also invite her to eat Hot Pot when there's Time in the future..."
Chi Feichei: "..."
What can he Say, Koizumi Akako's Gift is indeed practical and useful, but...
As a Witch, cherishing this long-awaited meeting with a netizen, and giving a Gift, is just this, it always feels a bit abnormal...
Never Mind, Koizumi Akako herself is not quite normal.
"By the Way, Hakuba asked me for your Hot Pot Recipe, I sent it to him, is it okay?" Koizumi Akako asked.
"It's okay, if there's nothing else, I'll hang up first."
"Okay."
After hanging up the Phone Call, Chi Feichei dialed Gin's Number and arranged a meeting Location.
Also, Disguise Mask must be put on!
...
An Hour later, outside a Park in Shuangbao Town, Gin leaned against the Car Door and smoked a Cigarette, and after hearing Footsteps, turned his Head to Glance, and withdrew his Line of Sight, "Why did you come over in Disguise?"
"Not much Time, I have to go to Shizuoka to meet up with other people later, Disguising myself is more convenient, saving me from changing Cars on the Road," Chi Feichei said, "My Car is parked near the Intersection to leave Tokyo, if it's convenient later, can you send me to the Vicinity?"
Generally speaking, unless there is Action later, and he will come into contact with other Organization Member, or he will be staying together for a long Time, he won't Disguise himself when meeting Gin or Vodka alone, anyway, these two know his True Identity.
Gin is a very Keenness person to any Abnormality, and it's not surprising that he discovered the Routine of his Disguise.
It is estimated that in just that second just now, Gin had already mentally filled in possibilities such as whether his True Identity was being targeted, whether this meeting would be unsafe, and whether there would be a Tail later, and so on.
"Sending you over is not a Problem, but you have to wait a while," Gin took out his Mobile Phone to Check the Time, turned around and returned to the Car, "I asked Vodka to get Things, it will probably take more than ten minutes to come back..."
"Then I'll wait, at least it's much more convenient than changing Cars," Chi Feichei opened the Car Door and got into the Passenger Seat, "Hattori Heiji and Mori Kogoro went to Shizuoka first, someone died there again, it's estimated that they have to solve the Incident before they can leave."
This was what Hattori Heiji told him on the Phone Call on the Road here, it is estimated that the Police have only just arrived at the Crime Scene now.
"Truly Mouri Kogoro, the moving Plague God!" Gin's Tone was indifferent, but also carried a hint of amusement at watching the Excitement.
"By the Way, Gin," Chi Feichei turned his Head to look at Gin, "Do you know Kudo Shinichi?"
"Kudo Shinichi?" Gin also turned his Head to look at Chi Feichei.
"He's on the User List of APTX-4869." Chi Feichei reminded.
Gin withdrew his Line of Sight, looked at the deserted Street under the Street Lamp outside the front Car Window, and recalled for a moment before saying, "A bit of an Impression..."
Chi Feichei: "..."
Gin's Reaction really is letting down a certain Death God Elementary School Student who is obsessed with him.
People automatically conjure up the figures of Gin and Vodka in their minds as soon as they encounter people wearing Black Clothes, even if they don't encounter people wearing Black Clothes, they have to think about it once when they hear any disturbance, and when they encounter Organization Member, Gin's figure will inevitably sway in their minds again...
But Gin on this side has completely thrown it to the back of his mind.
It's probably because the Time he asked was still relatively early, and the Amusement Park Incident wasn't too long ago, so Gin could still Say So 'a bit of an Impression'.
Wait until after a while, Gin's Reaction is estimated to be—'Kudo Shinichi? Who?'
