Chapter 237: Persuading Someone to Surrender?
"You've said everything already, what else can I say?" Odagiri Toshiya spread his hands. "Let's try it, I'll risk my life to give it a shot, betting that I won't be worked to death, but don't blame me if we lose money!"
"It's okay, it's normal to lose money at the beginning," Kikuto Morizono comforted.
"When you get into the industry, remember to do market research," Chi Feichei reminded him.
"Yes, yes..." Odagiri Toshiya agreed, "We've talked for so long, what about the Name?"
"That's something for you to consider," Chi Feichei said, "I'm only responsible for the Investment, waiting for a resolution, and then waiting to get Money."
Kikuto Morizono nodded, "Right, Toshiya, think about it yourself!"
"You guys..." Odagiri Toshiya was Speechless for a moment.
Aren't you going to help me at all?
"You need to learn to delegate Things, don't try to think and do everything Oneself, that's how I do Things, and you should too." Chi Feichei didn't plan to Help, he still had Matters with the Organization to deal with, Investment was enough.
Haibara Ai nodded silently, she agreed with that.
She suspected Chi Feichei was a workaholic, the kind with Evidence... Coming to a Wedding Banquet and Discussing father-son Conflict, he could still steer the conversation to business, it was unbelievable, if he still managed everything, not to mention Keep Company Children play, he would work Oneself to death.
"I have no Method," Kikuto Morizono smiled wryly, "Recently, the Company was caught in a Scandal, and it's only just stabilized now, there's a lot of backlog, don't think I like running around to Banquets every Day? If I could, I would rather choose to stay Home and sleep all Day, but there's no way... You'll Understand when you need to network in the future."
"Okay, you're all busy," Odagiri Toshiya said helplessly, "I'll do it, I'll do it, alright?"
"Before that..." Chi Feichei was just about to tell Odagiri Toshiya to deal with his past Tail, when the Venue Hall suddenly became chaotic.
Police Officers rushed out of the Main Gate one after another.
"Quick! Immediately seal off all entrances and exits of the Hotel!"
"Where's the Ambulance? Has the Ambulance arrived yet?"
The entire Hotel was immediately sealed off, all doors were closed, and Police were guarding them.
The Ambulance took Mouri Ran and Sato Miwako away, Inspector Megure went with them.
Everyone else was gathered in the Hotel First Floor Lobby.
"Except for Children, everyone has to take a Gunpowder Residue Test! No one is an exception!" Inspector Odagiri walked out aggressively with Police Officers, saw Odagiri Toshiya, paused for a moment, but still didn't Say anything, "Including me and all the Police Officers as well!"
Conan saw Chi Feichei and immediately ran forward, "Brother Chi, have you been here the whole time? Then..."
Chi Feichei knew what Conan wanted to ask as soon as he heard it, "We were busy Talking and didn't notice anyone leaving."
Conan: "..."
Could you not answer preemptively, at least wait for him to ask the Problem...
"What happened?" Haibara Ai Turn Head and asked.
"Someone shot Officer Sato and Ran in the Restroom, Ran is unconscious, Officer Sato is seriously injured, they've been sent to the Hospital, it should be the Culprit from the previous two police Shooting Cases!" After Conan finished explaining the Situation, he asked again, "Have you been together the whole time?"
"Hey, Kid, are you suspecting us?" Odagiri Toshiya complained unhappily.
"It's to prove it," Chi Feichei explained, ignoring Whether or Not Odagiri Toshiya understood or not, and said to Conan, "We've been together the whole time."
"And no one went to the Washroom," Haibara Ai added.
Conan nodded, meaning they hadn't separated for even a minute, "Brother Chi, do you want to Go To See the Scene? There's something I'm concerned about."
Chi Feichei Considered it, nodded, and Get Up, "To eliminate Suspicion as soon as possible."
The four of them had been together the whole time, and one of them was a Child, with Haibara Ai proving that no one had left, and the other three having taken the Gunpowder Residue Test, they were cleared of Suspicion.
Inspector Odagiri was a little surprised to See Odagiri Toshiya Cooperate throughout the process.
His Son actually didn't cause trouble?
Odagiri Toshiya had no Intention of causing Matter at all, his Mind was full of the Idea of 'starting a great Career', looking forward to the future, Thinking about how to proceed step by step, for the start, he needed to Consider what kind of helpers to recruit, and at least what Degree they should be at...
As For telling his Old Dad about This Is?
He didn't Consider it at all!
The three of them Initially planned to leave Home and play Onself...
"Chief Odagiri, I'd like to Go To See the Scene," Chi Feichei Turn Head to Look at Inspector Odagiri, acting as if nothing had happened Before, as if there was no Conflict.
Inspector Odagiri hesitated, he hadn't taken the previous Conflict to Heart either, But the Crime Scene wasn't something anyone could See, especially when it was related to the internal affairs of the Police...
"Officer Sato and I have a Relationship, and Ran is even my Teacher's Daughter," Chi Feichei continued, "Chief Odagiri, This Is is no longer Just a Matter for the Police."
"Alright," Inspector Odagiri compromised, "You've helped the Police solve Cases Previously, you should Know, don't touch anything at the Crime Scene."
Inspector Odagiri led the group to the Restroom, the water pipe in the Restroom was broken by a Bullet, and there was still a Puddle of Blood Stain.
Many Police Officers were going in and out, busy with the Investigation of the Scene.
"This Is it," Conan Walk To the Flashlight, "The Flashlight fell beside Ran and Officer Sato, and it was still on when we rushed over..."
"Is it because the Lights in the Restroom were broken, or there was a Power Outage, that they took a Flashlight?" Odagiri Toshiya Glance at it, Turn Head to Look around, "It doesn't Look like the Lights are broken, is it the Circuit Breaker on This Is floor that's the Problem? And it's Just This Is floor, we didn't have a Power Outage on the First Floor!"
Chi Feichei was a little surprised, Odagiri Toshiya had completely hit the nail on the Head, and then asked Conan, "If the Criminal caused the Power Outage on This Is floor, why would he do that?"
Conan immediately Understood, "To attack Officer Sato and Ran in the Darkness! He deliberately created a dark Environment, maybe because he wasn't sure he could successfully attack if he faced the Police head-on, or maybe it was to Cover-up his appearance or something else special!"
"In the Darkness, how to ensure a successful attack?" Chi Feichei asked again.
Conan immediately Look at the Flashlight, "To make the Location where Officer Sato and Ran are located Light Up! The cabinet under the Sink over there is still open, which means, This Is Flashlight is very likely placed here by the Criminal in advance, he hid in the Restroom in advance to prepare, turned on the Switch of the Flashlight, put it in the cabinet, when there was a Power Outage, the Light of the Flashlight shone through the Crack of the cabinet, it would be easily See, when Officer Sato or Ran subconsciously opened the cabinet, he could lock onto their Location based on the Light, and shoot! However, the Flashlight has been picked up..."
"In other Words, Officer Sato and Ran might have Seen something crucial," Chi Feichei added.
Wataru Takagi said gloomily, "Pity they haven't come out of the Emergency Room yet, and we Don't Know when they will wake up..."
Chi Feichei Glance at Wataru Takagi, "What I mean is we should strengthen protection, Regardless of Whether or Not they Saw anything or not, since the Criminal created a dark Environment, Officer Sato and Ran might have Seen something he wanted to hide, the Criminal might attack them again."
Inspector Odagiri immediately said seriously, "Immediately send people to the Hospital to strengthen protection!"
"Let's Go To the Hospital to Take a Look too," Chi Feichei Walk To out, it was enough to have the Police confirm Things here, "Toshiya, you come with us too, I have Words to Say to you."
"Oh, okay!" Odagiri Toshiya decisively followed.
Inspector Odagiri Watch Leave a group of people, stood in place for a while, his Gaze deep, "That Young Master is called Chi Feichei, right? Is his Case-Solving Ability very strong?"
"Yes," Ninzaburo Shiratori Watch Leave their Figures, "Mr. Chi's Reasoning Ability is amazing, although he doesn't like to be in the Limelight, I Don't Know he's any worse than Sleeping Kogoro."
Inspector Odagiri nodded absentmindedly, "Then what do you think he wants to Say to Toshiya?"
It Seemingly that the Child was actually the leader among the three, and in Just a short contact he could See some Things, Whether or Not it was Personality or Ability, Chi Feichei was indeed stronger than the other two.
If the three of them were to clash, the other two combined probably wouldn't be enough for Chi Feichei to play with...
He wasn't worried about his Son being taken advantage of, Judging from their previous maintenance, These two both treated Odagiri Toshiya as a Friend, unlike Odagiri Toshiya's previous 'friends' who instigated, used, and ran faster than anyone else when something happened.
The Senyuan Family might be a bit worse, But with the Energy of the Chi Family, there was no need to use his Son to do anything.
What made his Mood heavy was the Guess - Odagiri Toshiya was related to This Is Case, and Chi Feichei had Seen something.
Chi Feichei specifically called Odagiri Toshiya along, like he was planning to persuade a Criminal to Surrender...
He didn't want to protect his Son, But he didn't want his own Son to be a Criminal who killed Police.
Ninzaburo Shiratori also thought of the same point, "Chief, do you think..."
"If it really was that bastard who did it, I will make the prosecutors handle it severely!" Inspector Odagiri Look Face gloomy, feeling very panicked inside.
Could it be that his Son, because of Oneself, had Opinions about the Police and did such a Thing?
Moreover, there was also the Incident from back then... it wasn't impossible, that bastard Kid!
...
After leaving the Hotel, Kikuto Morizono didn't get involved and went Home first.
Mori Kogoro drove, taking Kisaki Eri, Wataru Takagi, and Suzuki Sonoko to the Hospital.
Chi Feichei drove, taking Haibara Ai and Odagiri Toshiya, Conan also hitched a ride in Chi Feichei's Car.
As soon as they got in the Car, Conan sat in the Back Seat, Looking at Odagiri Toshiya beside him with a serious Face, he also felt that Chi Feichei Seemingly to be persuading someone to Surrender.
Then, could This Is person be...
Odagiri Toshiya felt uncomfortable being stared at, "Kid, why are you staring at me?"
Conan was Silence, Turn Head to Look at the Passenger Seat.
Hurry up and Say it, he's ready!
Chi Feichei waited for the Car to drive out of the Parking Lot, and said calmly, "Toshiya, Surrender yourself."
Haibara Ai was surprised, and Turn Around in the Passenger Seat to Look at the Back Seat.
Conan Look Face serious, as expected, although he didn't Know what Clue Chi Feichei had grasped, But...
Odagiri Toshiya was Be Confused for a moment, "What... Surrender?"
"The Matter of you extorting Mr. Jinno last year," Chi Feichei said.
"Huh?" Conan was Be Confused for a moment, weren't they going to Talk about This Is Case? Why did it Turn to Extortion?
Odagiri Toshiya's Face changed, "Y-You, how do you Know? Who told you?"
