Chapter 24 It Generally Doesn't Bite People
Tayan Katsuo was startled and turned around to greet her, "Grand Madam!"
"Actually, Her Husband also knew about this matter," Mamiya Masuyo said to herself in a slow and reminiscent tone of an elderly person, "But not only was he not angry, he was actually very happy..."
"I am truly sorry!" Tayan Katsuo quickly apologized, "I shouldn't have reminded Grand Madam of these Past Events."
"You don't need to be so nervous," Mamiya Masuyo looked up at the Portrait hanging on the wall, "I'm already used to the days when he's not by my side. It's just like when the Banknote pattern and Passport size changed. At first, I wasn't used to it, but after a long Time, I felt there was nothing strange about it. Time is a terrifying thing, whether it's joy, anger, sorrow, or happiness, it will all pass with Time..."
Chi Feichi looked at Mamiya Masuyo. During his time living here, he had also paid attention to Mamiya Masuyo's words and actions, and there was not a single flaw. He didn't expect Conan to expose her so quickly.
Does she want to talk to outsiders more? Or is she influenced by 'Conan Science'?
Mamiya Masuyo also noticed Chi Feichi looking at her, but she was used to this kid's uncomfortable, indifferent gaze, "By the way, who are these people?"
"These are Master's Scientist Friends," Tayan Katsuo said, "They brought these Little Girl children as guests."
"Scientists?" Mamiya Masuyo's focus was also the same as Mamiya Mitsuru's, she was excited for a moment, before realizing she had lost her composure, and quickly calmed her tone, "That's really great, I must ask you to help me solve the Mystery left by my husband, and see what Mystery he buried in this Castle."
"Mystery?" Doctor Agasa asked in confusion.
Tayan Katsuo explained, "I heard that Grand Lord left a Will before his death, saying he would give the Treasure to the person who solves the Castle Mystery."
"Right," Mamiya Masuyo looked towards the Entrance, "Hasn't my daughter arrived yet?"
"Ah?" Tayan Katsuo was sweating.
"Didn't we agree that she would come back to celebrate my birthday?" Mamiya Masuyo pushed her Wheelchair away, speeding up, her tone also carrying joy, "When she arrives, let her come to my Room, I'll be able to see my daughter soon!"
Tayan Katsuo once again recalled the fear of being dominated by the strange Things happening in the Castle day by day, and sighed weakly, "Grand Madam has become like this since the fire..."
Doctor Agasa sighed with emotion, "I think she must have suffered a great blow."
"Master Mitsuru was really not easy." Tayan Katsuo finished his sentence.
Doctor Agasa: "..."
Their thinking doesn't seem to be on the same wavelength?
Conan was obviously more interested in the Mystery, he approached Chi Feichi, tugged at the corner of Chi Feichi's Sleeve, and when Chi Feichi looked over, he looked up and asked, "Elder Brother Chi, haven't you solved that Mystery yet?"
Since the other party was unlikely to be from the Organization, he didn't need to be too cautious, and he still recognized Chi Feichi's abilities.
Genius and madman are only one step away, that's probably what they are talking about.
Chi Feichi shook his head, "I'm not interested in treasures."
Conan sweated, ordinary people should be interested in treasures, this guy is indeed not ordinary, "Then is there any Room where you can clearly see the Chess in the Courtyard?"
"I'll take you over." Chi Feichi turned around and led the way.
Conan: "..."
He didn't even need to bring it up, and he understood what he wanted to do next, this guy's insight into people's psychology is also not to be underestimated...
On the third floor, the three children of the Junior Detective League and Conan crowded by the window to look at the Chess pieces in the Courtyard.
Haibara Ai tugged at the corner of Chi Feichi's Sleeve.
Chi Feichi lowered his head and looked, "Little children seem to like pulling people's Sleeves?"
Haibara Ai was speechless, "If I could pat your shoulder, would I still pull your Sleeve?"
"No, I wanted to say, suddenly pulling my Sleeve is not a very Safety Action," Chi Feichi explained.
Hissashi also cooperatively poked its head out from his Cuff, staring at Haibara Ai and flicking its Snake Tongue. It had heard what everyone had said earlier, "Master, these five little ghosts and that old man are not bad, but that little ghost wearing glasses speaks a bit harshly, what do you mean by being a little bit worse than Holmes, no matter who that Holmes is, Master will not be worse than him, okay..."
Chi Feichi: "..."
No, for Conan, a Holmes die-hard fan, this should be a very high evaluation, right...
Haibara Ai stared at Hissashi, who was constantly flicking its Snake Tongue, petrified in place, silently estimating how far her hand was from this Snake just now.
Over there, Conan had already photographed the Chess in the Courtyard with his Mobile Phone, and was sitting by the window studying it. Hearing the two people's conversation, he couldn't help but be curious, and when he looked up, he saw the Snake head protruding from Chi Feichi's Cuff, "..."
He also pulled Chi Feichi's Sleeve just now!
If when he pulled it, he happened to startle this Snake and it bit him, the scene would be too beautiful to imagine...
Also, it's also pulling Sleeves, why remind Haibara Ai and not remind him, is there such a Difference in treatment?
"My Pet, its Name is Hissashi," Chi Feichi thought for a moment, and still added, "It generally doesn't bite people."
Hissashi looked at Haibara Ai, who was blankly staring at it, and spoke again, "This Little Girl is really interesting, silly and cute, but her skin is quite smooth, considered good-looking in our Snake eyes, it's a pity, no Scales..."
Chi Feichi silently pressed Hissashi's head back into his Cuff, how could humans grow Scales all over their bodies?
As for Haibara Ai being silly and cute?
He felt that Haibara Ai's lethality against Hissashi would be greater than Kuroba Kaito's. If it was better, prepare some Realgar, if she got really angry, a bottle of Sulfuric Acid down, Hissashi wouldn't even have a complete corpse left...
Haibara Ai looked up at Chi Feichi, her gaze complicated, "Very... very special Pet."
Besides this, what else could she say?
She liked small Animals, but mainly the kind of fluffy, round, and cute Things, not including Snakes, which are covered in cold Scales and look slippery and long.
"Actually, Hissashi is still quite good-looking," Chi Feichi said a word for Hissashi.
He didn't know if it was because his own Pet looked good no matter what, or if he had seen too many Snakes and didn't find it awkward. He felt that although Hissashi was gray-black patterned, the black was pure, and the gray was a bit light white, and it also had some appeal under the luster of the Scales.
Moreover, Hissashi's eyes were black, and occasionally when it poked its head out, its Snake face looked even more dumbfounded than Haibara Ai's expression just now...
Haibara Ai reluctantly nodded, "Cough... cou- consider it, I guess."
"By the way, what did you want to say to me just now?" Chi Feichi asked.
"I wanted to ask..." Haibara Ai's gaze drifted away, "What Illness did you have before?"
Chi Feichi didn't have anything to hide, "Dissociative Identity Disorder, one Personality has severe depression, the other..."
"Ah!"
Genta, who had run to the Next Door Room at some point, let out a scream.
Conan poked his head out and glanced, then quickly ran out of the Room.
Chi Feichi also followed, but when he arrived at the Next Door Room, there were only tired Genta and Mitsuhiko, and Conan, who had run over, was gone.
Haibara Ai also followed Chi Feichi over, "Edogawa?"
Genta looked around blankly, "Conan was just here..."
"What's wrong?" Ayumi also followed.
Mitsuhiko was confused, "Conan suddenly disappeared..."
Haibara Ai noticed the overturned chair, the Books scattered all over the floor, and the opened clock cover, reached out and tugged at the corner of Chi Feichi's Sleeve, and then stiffened again, remembering Hissashi.
"I know," Chi Feichi didn't look down at Haibara Ai, but looked at Tayan Katsuo, Mamiya Takato, and Doctor Agasa who were walking in from outside the door, his voice was very low, "If you open the Secret Door here, you will see a Signal in the Bedroom of the former Castle Master Queen and King. Don't touch it randomly. When everyone goes to the Dining Room later, I will go find it. Don't run around, and don't enter those suddenly opened doors randomly."
Haibara Ai's heart sank, and her expression also became serious, "This Castle is indeed not simple."
"Don't just send yourselves one by one," Chi Feichi said, "By the way, except for Mamiya Takato, be wary of everyone else, and don't mention calling the police in front of them."
Although Mamiya Mitsuru didn't do anything in the Plot, it was obvious that Mamiya Mitsuru was also staying here for the Treasure. With him added, it was very likely to change the original trajectory, so he still had to be wary.
As for Tayan Katsuo and the other Servants...
Human nature cannot withstand testing!
Haibara Ai was a little worried, but still maintained her composure, and asked in a low voice, "That Mr. Mamiya Takato, is he trustworthy..."
"Trustworthy," Chi Feichi also had some understanding of Mamiya Takato's Personality during this period of Time, "Pure and harmless, but poor Action ability, indecisive, and prone to being foolish."
Haibara Ai: "..."
What a sharp evaluation!
But she also understood, she could try to contact Mamiya Takato and ask Mamiya Takato for help, but don't have too high hopes...
Because Tayan Katsuo guessed that Conan went downstairs to use the Restroom, Doctor Agasa and the three children of the Junior Detective League were led astray and decided to go to the Dining Room to eat first.
"I'll go to the Washroom first."
Chi Feichi simply used the 'Washroom' reason and went to the Second Floor Washroom.
As soon as the door closed, Hissashi nimbly drilled out of Chi Feichi's Cuff, impatiently saying, "Is there Action? Are we going to find that child? Great, I've been bored to death these past two days..."
"Have you explored all the Secret Doors?" Chi Feichi asked in a low voice.
These two days, Hissashi was not just running around in the Castle for fun, but also to explore the Mechanisms in the Castle.
After all, Kuroba Kaito had left, but he hadn't forgotten about the Treasure. The day before he left, he had also made an agreement with him—
If he found the Treasure, he must say so. If it was non-Jewel type, it belonged to Chi Feichi. If it was all Jewels, Kuroba Kaito proposed that he would look at it first, and then divide a little...
The agreement was so detailed that Chi Feichi almost couldn't help but tell Kuroba Kaito: Jewels? Think too much, this Treasure doesn't even have a one-yuan coin.
However, Kuroba Kaito's enthusiastic sentence 'finders keepers' blocked all the words he wanted to say back.
"Of course I've explored them all!" Hissashi nodded frantically again like a chick pecking at rice.
Chi Feichi couldn't help but reach out and fix Hissashi's head. Every time Hissashi nodded frantically, he had a feeling that 'this Snake has gone mad', "Just nod once in the future, tell me about the Secret Door Situation you explored."
The code word is finished, push it out and chop... no, update delivered~
