On the helicopter going down the mountain, Conan pretended to be a curious child and pulled Chi Feichi to ask questions.
"Brother Chi, where is your home?"
"Tokyo."
"Your reasoning is so good, are you a detective?"
"No."
"Then what do you do?"
"Currently a student at Toto University on a break."
"Did you join the magic enthusiast chat room because you are interested in magic?"
"It's because my teacher would like it."
"Then do you want to be a magician or a detective in the future?"
"No, I will become a veterinarian."
"Ve-veterinarian? Why?"
"Because I am studying veterinary medicine."
"..."
Studying veterinary medicine, will become a veterinarian in the future, is there anything wrong?
Suzuki Sonoko, who overheard the conversation between the two, nodded silently. Seems like nothing wrong.
Conan continued to be speechless. He knew that Chi Feichi was deliberately twisting the main point of the question, but for a while, he didn't know how to follow up.
Arriving at the parking place down the mountain, the car rented by Mouri Kogoro was also parked there.
Conan took a look and estimated that it was unlikely to hitch a ride on Chi Feichi's car casually. He pretended to run in front of Chi Feichi and fell in the snow. Using the snow as cover, he reached out and quickly stuck a wiretap on the inside of Chi Feichi's trouser leg.
Originally, Feichi had been wrapped around Chi Feichi's arm motionless since coming over, sleeping, but now he slowly spoke up, "That child just put something in your trouser leg..."
Even if Conan's hand speed was fast, his action was concealed, and the cover effect of the snow was good, it couldn't stop the snake from having two visual systems. In addition to the eyes visible to people, there were also 'heat eyes' growing between the eyes and nostrils...
Infrared detector, know about it?
Chi Feichi didn't expect Conan to do this, pulled Conan up, "Be careful."
Conan thanked him obediently, "Thank you, Brother Chi!"
"If you are not a little loli, don't play falling on flat ground." Chi Feichi patted Conan's head, dropped a sentence, turned and left.
Conan: "???"
What does this sentence mean? What does falling have to do with little lolis?
Mouri Ran discovered the situation here and also ran over quickly. "Really, Conan, be careful when walking in the snow."
"I will be careful in the future!" Conan agreed cheerfully, but his eyes kept secretly watching Chi Feichi's back as he got into the car.
Strange, he always felt that this back was a bit familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere...
However, if the other party was a member of that organization, this time the other party left in a hurry, he should be able to hear more or less intelligence...
The car drove away from the original place. The next second, a small thing was thrown out of the car window and was crushed by the wheels.
Conan froze in place: "...!"
Been discovered!
Suzuki Sonoko stepped forward and saw Conan stare blankly at Chi Feichi's car leaving, sighing with emotion, "This brat seems to like Mr. Chi very much..."
"Yes," Mouri Ran responded with a smile. "Probably because Conan usually likes reasoning very much, and Mr. Chi's reasoning ability is very strong. It's normal for him to want to get close to Mr. Chi."
"It's really a pity," Suzuki Sonoko sighed with melancholy. "Although Mr. Chi is very nice and his reasoning is very powerful, I feel that our personalities don't match. I really have no way to deal with cold people..."
"Eh?" Mouri Ran was surprised. Did her best friend get enlightenment? She actually considered the personality issue.
"But I decided..." Suzuki Sonoko clenched her fist. "Starting today, Kaitou Kid is my favorite magician, and Mr. Chi is my favorite detective!"
"But Mr. Chi doesn't seem to be a detective..."
"It's all the same!"
"Where is it the same..."
Two days later in the evening.
A Beetle parked outside the castle gate.
In the room on the second floor, Chi Feichi stood behind the window and took a look, turned around and went out downstairs.
He also curiously thought, if Conan heard from the people living here that he and Kuroba Kaito went out together on the day of the party, combined with the fact that he went to that party, would he suspect that Kuroba Kaito also went to the party, and thus suspect that Kuroba Kaito was Kaitou Kid.
However, what Kuroba Kaito said to Mamiya Mitsuru that day was that he intended to go back. It was also possible that—Chi Feichi went to the party by himself after sending Kuroba Kaito.
Coupled with the fact that the waistcoat of Kaitou Kid had been used by two generations and had been active internationally for 18 years, it was difficult to associate it with a high school student. 18 years ago, Kuroba Kaito hadn't even been born yet.
And whether it was in the chat room or on the day of the party, he and Kuroba Kaito didn't interact much. Finally, he even sold Kuroba Kaito out, and didn't show signs of 'being friends'...
Considering all factors, the possibility of Kuroba Kaito being exposed was really small.
Outside the castle, Professor Agasa got out of the car with the entire Junior Detective League.
"Wow! So big!"
"It's like a Western castle!"
Yoshida Ayumi and Tsuburaya Mitsuhiko exclaimed.
"However, how can such a building be built in the forest?" Professor Agasa was puzzled and instinctively looked at Conan.
However, Conan looked absent-minded, as if he wasn't listening to the group talking at all.
Professor Agasa was helpless, leaned close to Conan's ear and whispered, "I say Shinichi, don't worry when you come out to play..."
"But I can't figure it out at all," Conan frowned. "That guy clearly found the wiretap. With his observation and reasoning ability, he should have suspected me already, but why didn't he pursue it at that time? If he got out of the car with the wiretap and asked me..."
"Why do you think he has something to do with the organization?" Haibara Ai lowered her voice and said calmly. "In the past, scarecrows were placed in the fields to drive away crows. They are the guardians of the fields."
"That's just a chat room name," Conan reminded speechlessly. "If you analyze a person based on this name, then 'Scarecrow' may also refer to the man-eating monster 'Hitotsume-kozō'. Legend has it that this kind of youkai was originally a mountain god, and finally transformed into a scarecrow standing in the field."
"It could also refer to 'Kuebiko' in the Kojiki," Professor Agasa smiled and joined the excitement. "Although it cannot walk normally with one leg, it stands in the field for a long time and observes the trends of the world. Therefore, it knows everything in the world... Maybe his own reasoning ability is superior, and he feels that he has insight into many things, so he took the chat room name 'Scarecrow'!"
Conan nodded. Professor Agasa's analysis makes sense. Then he scratched his hair with annoyance. "I say, why he named himself 'Scarecrow' is not the point!"
"But since the other party didn't act, it's useless for us to worry," Professor Agasa comforted with a good mindset. "Besides, Xiao Ai always felt that he was not a bad person..."
"Not being a bad person doesn't mean not being a person from that organization, right?" Conan touched his chin. "Whether it is my observation or Haibara's description, he is not like the kind of person who would record video and take pictures of children. At least the same child met for the first time, he didn't take pictures of Haibara, but recorded two videos about me that day. Although I feel it's his bad taste, it may also be collecting my information. He must know something, and I always feel like I've seen him somewhere..."
Haibara Ai didn't refute this time. Recording Conan's videos and finding the wiretap but not pursuing it, these two points were indeed suspicious. Turning her head and seeing Conan stunned, she asked confusedly, "What's wrong?"
"Osaka!" Conan looked dignified. "I remembered. That day in Osaka Tsutenkaku, I always felt someone looking at me. When I looked back, I seemed to see his back!"
"Can you be sure?" Professor Agasa pressed.
Conan was stunned for a moment, and honestly said, "No, I didn't see his face, only his back. But he did go to Osaka during that time, and the back was really similar..."
Haibara Ai instantly had half-moon eyes. "Maybe you have been too paranoid recently and thought too much. As long as the body shape is about the same, and wearing clothes of similar colors and styles, just looking at the back can easily be mistaken for the same person."
Conan recalled for a moment, and couldn't figure out why he felt the back was similar. Could it be that he really thought too much?
"He couldn't have known in advance that you would go to the party with the eldest young lady of the Suzuki family. Instead of waiting for you there, it's better to appear around you," Haibara Ai said slowly again. "If he is really investigating you, he will definitely appear next to you. Haven't you seen him since coming back from the snow mountain villa?"
"Also true..." Conan nodded, his mood eased, and reflected on himself. "I was indeed a little too impatient recently, always thinking about how to get news about that organization..."
"I say, where did you brat come from?!"
The roar attracted the attention of the three people.
When the three were whispering, Kojima Genta climbed in from the gate and was caught by the gardener Tabata Katsuo as soon as he landed.
Tabata Katsuo carried Kojima Genta in one hand and roared angrily, "Coming in without greeting, you brat want to come in and cause destruction?!"
He had been very tired during this period.
Those few days Chi Feichi jumped around on the chess sculptures, causing him to scrub every day, let alone that high school student who was even more frantic. Being chased by the snake running around all day, he didn't know how many carefully cultivated flowers and plants were destroyed.
Now that high school student patted his butt and left, but he wanted to restore the flowers and plants, not sure how many months it would take.
Moreover, that snake still lives here. Perhaps it became addicted to chasing things. Without the high school student to chase for the past two days, as soon as evening came, the snake released the hamster and chased it running around everywhere in the castle.
Master Mitsuru seemed to have told Young Master Chi Feichi about this. After that, the snake restrained a little and didn't run out to scare people.
But he worked until dark yesterday, heard rustling sounds behind him, turned around, the sound was gone, but the flowers and plants fell a large piece again...
Sometimes, not seeing where the snake is is more scary than seeing where the snake is!
He used to think that the kind of arrogant and conceited young master was the hardest to serve. Now it seems that compared to the young master who brings strange pets and is also not normal himself, that is nothing!
However, watching Master running to the urban area recently and being tired, he dared not tell Master about buying some flower seeds in the urban area...
Physically tired, mentally also tired...
