Chapter 28 Conan is such a Spendthrift!
At the Dining Table, Mamiya Mitsuru couldn't help but chuckle to himself at the thought of leaving easily.
Genta, Ayumi, and Mitsuhiko ate their Breakfast in silence, glancing weakly at Mamiya Mitsuru who was chuckling to himself, feeling like the Jam Bread on their Plate had lost its appeal.
This Uncle's Behavior is really scary...
"He's Crazy, right?" Hissashi couldn't help but grumble from Chi Feichi's Sleeve, "Suddenly laughing like that scared me..."
Chi Feichi remained calm throughout.
Is suddenly laughing while eating strange?
When eating, he had seen people split Bread in half, pointing at the Bread and talking about the Future Trend of the World Economy, seen people pick out all the Rice from their Sushi, arranging them one by one on the table, making a pious prayer, saying it was Spirit Summoning Art, and even seen people say they could make Time Reversal, using the Food in their hands for Experiments, stunning others...
Even more, Zhi Ming Fukuyama had once sat with him for lunch, asking if he could hear the Kelp in the Soup talking.
At that time, a Patient next to them leaned over and answered, 'Cooked Kelp doesn't talk,' and he immediately saw Zhi Ming Fukuyama gaze thoughtfully at the Patient.
Condolences to that buddy.
The correct answer is—'No.'
Just these two simple words, the more you say, the more likely you are to be wrong.
As for Mamiya Mitsuru suddenly chuckling to himself, this was not a big deal at all... Letting Uncle not fall into Zhi Ming Fukuyama's hands was his last Gentleness.
Chi Feichi finished his Food, stood up and said, "I'm full, please enjoy your meal."
"Ah, okay." Mamiya Mitsuru tried hard to put away his smile, a weird expectation in his eyes.
Chi Feichi shook his head, didn't say much, went to the Courtyard, and made a Phone Call to Kuroba Kaito.
The Phone Call rang several times before being answered, Kuroba Kaito's drowsy voice came through, "What's up? It's Weekend today, I have a new Goal, I was checking Data until very late last night before sleeping..."
"Yesterday the Treasure in the Castle was found..." Chi Feichi briefly explained the Events, not omitting anything he should tell Kuroba Kaito.
For example, what the Treasure was, for example, that the one who found the Treasure was a Kid named Conan, for example, that Grand Madam was actually a Maid who had Plastic Surgery, and for example, Mamiya Mitsuru's Abnormality...
"I think you should be responsible for Mr. Mamiya Mitsuru's Problem."
Kuroba Kaito was still marveling at how incredible and bizarre the whole thing was, when he heard this, he jumped up, "What Relationship does it have to do with me? I already left there several days ago, he can't blame me if he has a Problem, right?"
"When you were there, he was smiling on his face, but he must have cursed you a hundred times a day in his heart, this has a big impact on his Mental State," Chi Feichi helped Kuroba Kaito take the Scapegoat, not forgetting to straighten it, "Simply put, it's because he held it in for too long, and it broke him, but his Problem isn't serious, he just needs to relax for a while."
"That's good," Kuroba Kaito was a little guilty, actually he thought Uncle Mamiya's Character was still pretty good, "By the way, be careful of that Kid named Conan, last time he suspected we knew each other from the Connection between 'Red Herring' and 'Straw Man', and now he's gone to the Mamiya Family..."
"It's okay, people from the Mamiya Family didn't mention you, at least no one mentioned you when I was there," Chi Feichi said.
He had originally analyzed the possibility of Kuroba Kaito being exposed, but in the end, no one mentioned Kuroba Kaito at all.
Perhaps their Attention was drawn by the Castle Treasure, or perhaps Kuroba Kaito left a few days earlier.
He felt that the greater possibility was that after meeting the above two conditions, Kuroba Kaito triggered some kind of 'avoidance mechanism'.
After all, Kid is Aoyama's favorite son...
"It's better to get that Kid to leave as soon as possible, to prevent him from discovering anything," Kuroba reminded, "He seems to be investigating you, be careful yourself, don't let him find out anything shady."
Chi Feichi: "After he heard that I came from a Mental Hospital, it seems he doesn't have such a big Opinion of me anymore."
Kuroba Kaito immediately laughed, "Could it be because your Behavior is sneaky, and he suspects you've done something bad? Then how sneaky do you have to be to be targeted for investigation by him..."
Chi Feichi said calmly, "Classmate Kuroba, Hissashi misses you."
Kuroba Kaito was dismissive, "Let it come over!"
Hissashi heard Kuroba Kaito and 'it', crawled out of Chi Feichi's collar, propped itself up and leaned close to the Mobile Phone to eavesdrop, just in time to hear this sentence: "..."
Chi Feichi glanced at Hissashi, "Red-Banded Kraits are a type of Snake that preys on its own kind, it's recently been researching whether preying on Venomous Snakes can make it evolve."
"Stupid Snake! Snake cannibalism for evolution is impossible, okay?" Kuroba Kaito retorted, "And how could a Snake have so many thoughts, and even if it had thoughts, how would it tell you? If I really believed your words... please go to Aoyama Fourth Hospital and reserve a Bed for me."
Hissashi said faintly, "Master, if you have time, buy two Serums to prepare for Kuroba Kaito..."
On the other end of the Phone Call, Kuroba Kaito suddenly sneezed, "Do I have a Cold... Okay, let's not talk about that, are you going to be sent back to the Hospital now? Do you want me to ask Terai to get you out?"
"I definitely have to go back for a trip, my Father isn't here, Mr. Mamiya Mitsuru as the Entrusted Guardian, he feels that he can't fulfill his Guardianship Duty, he will definitely send me back to tell the Doctor first," Chi Feichi explained, "And for Mr. Terai to take care of me as the Entrusted Guardian, he also needs to get my Father's consent, I'll ask my Father if he has a suitable Candidate first."
"Okay, but you'd better squeeze out two days of free Time, and accept Miss Suzuki's invitation," Kuroba Kaito said with a smile, "I'll treat you to a Magic Show performed by Kaito Kid!"
"Understood."
"Aren't you curious about what kind of Magic Performance it is?"
"I'll know when the Time comes, hanging up now."
"Hey hey..."
Chi Feichi hung up the Phone Call and made another call to his cheap Father.
"Father, Mr. Mamiya has something to do and can't be my Entrusted Guardian anymore."
"You don't want to go back to the Hospital?"
"Yes."
"I understand, I'll find someone for you."
"I'm going out for a trip in the next two days, please help me keep it from Doctor Fukuyama."
"For how many days?"
"Three days, and please also help me order a batch of Bamboo Rats from China, any quantity will do."
"Understood."
The Phone Call was hung up.
Such simple and direct Communication is efficient.
When Chi Shinnosuke made a Phone Call to Mamiya Mitsuru, Chi Feichi also received a Phone Call from Suzuki Sonoko.
Suzuki Sonoko invited him to visit the Suzuki Art Museum opening in Osaka the day after tomorrow, and by the way, told him that Kaito Kid had set his sights on the 'Egg of Recollection' and had already sent Invitation Letters.
After hanging up the Phone Call, Chi Feichi opened a Webpage.
The Bounty Board is generally provided by Various Countries, and it records Wanted Criminals.
In addition, in the Deep Web, there is also a Webpage similar to a Mission Hall, and the login Account is the Professional ID Number given by Various Countries.
Compared to the Bounty Board, this Webpage called 'Bounty Hall' is much more interesting.
There are Speculators who post Bounties for crimes, Official Personnel from Various Countries lying in wait to enforce the law, even Commissions to deliver Things, and even a Missing Cat Notice, with a not-low Bounty.
The entire Web Forum is a gray area, Pandemonium, Boisterous.
Chi Feichi clicked into the Accumulated Bounty Pool and searched for 'Scorpio's Code Name.
Because Bounty Missions are mostly shady and the difficulty of the task cannot be assessed, Bounty Hunters don't have rankings, and like Detectives, they rely on Reputation.
During this time, he was lurking in the Forum and also gained Knowledge of some Influential Figures, Scorpio being one of them.
Scorpio is also a Bounty Hunter, age unknown, appearance unknown, gender unknown, very mysterious.
Most of the Bounties he accepts are Assassinations, and occasionally the Rewards he requests are only Romanov Dynasty Artifacts or Treasure.
A Bounty Hunter with strong Purposefulness, also very decisive and ruthless.
Chi Feichi felt there was a sentence to describe him—
No one knows my Identity, because anyone who knows my Identity is already dead!
Bounty Hunters themselves also have Bounties, and they don't care about 'fellow hunters can't turn on each other', if they fall into the hands of a Colleague, they have to be mentally prepared to be taken to exchange for Money.
In the Bounty Pool:
Find out Scorpio's Identity, provide Appearance and Location, three million US Dollar.
Capture Scorpio and send him to the Police Station, Official Bounty plus Private Bounty, a total of more than nine million US Dollar.
In addition, there is also a Private Bounty to capture Scorpio and hand him over to the other party, offering thirty million US Dollar, supporting exchange for Valuable Items of equal value...
Chi Feichi was in Silence.
Recently, he captured Numabuchi Kiichiro and did a Criminal Investigation, and in total, he only got 100,000 US Dollar.
And being able to capture Numabuchi Kiichiro, in fact, was also inseparable from his Knowledge of the Plot.
Such a Valuable Miss, Conan actually just Reported to Police and let the Police Capture her, Finished, and didn't earn a Dime...
Wasteful!
Spendthrift! Absolute Spendthrift!
Hissashi tilted its head and glanced, eyes staring straight, even its Snake Tongue stopped flicking, "So many Zeros! Master, are we going to Capture him?"
"Not in a hurry." Chi Feichi searched for 'Kaito Kid' again.
In the Bounty Pool:
Provide Identity Information, sixty thousand US Dollar.
Capture and hand him over to the Police, three hundred and ten thousand US Dollar.
Taking advantage of the Limelight of stealing the Easter Egg this time, Kuroba Kaito has had a Price Increase again, increased by 5,000 US Dollar.
After all, Kaito Kid hasn't Offended People much, these Bounties are all Accumulated Bounties from Departments in Various Countries targeting crime.
Officials generally don't post very high Bounties, high Bounties are secretly contacted with Bounty Hunters privately.
The Amount of Money in the Bounty Pool is high, generally because Private Bounties are Accumulated one by one after Offending People.
In addition, there are many Private Bounty Missions for Kaito Kid.
Like investigating Kaito Kid's Identity and only telling the Employer, like going on a Date with Kaito Kid for a day, like Capturing Kaito Kid and handing him over to me... Bounties ranging from 100,000 to 1 million US Dollar, at first glance, they are Fans or Big Shots who are bored, without Hatred Value bonus, completely incomparable to Scorpio.
For example, Suzuki Jirokichi is just bored, it's just that the Old Man doesn't issue Rewards, hoping that I will Challenge him, belonging to the kind of Bad Guy who is like 'I have a Meal, I won't snatch your Livelihood, I'm just full and bored, and want to make you not have this Meal!'
Cough... In a sense, he belongs to the even more Bad Guy type who is like 'I have a Meal, but I'm bored, and I still want to snatch your Livelihood, not only do I want to snatch your Livelihood, I also want to climb to a higher position and play around by suppressing you.'
