Chapter 46: Another Problem Family Found
Conan felt his Pants Pocket being touched, and turned his head vigilantly to look. He saw the Detective Badge he had put in his Pants Pocket being snatched out by a Crow, and subconsciously reached out to grab it.
The Crow used a Snake Weave Movement to dodge, cawed as if in mockery, flapped its Wings, and flew away.
"Annoying! Go away!" Genta was still waving his hand to drive it away, but suddenly noticed that the Detective Badge had been pecked off by the Crow. "Ah? My Detective Badge!"
The Crow, holding the Badge in its beak, was a little displeased by being driven away just now. When it flew up, it even stepped on Genta's head, and then swaggered off.
"Wait! Give me back my Detective Badge!" Genta touched the place on his head that had been stepped on with both hands, and was about to chase after it.
Mitsuhiko quickly pulled Genta back, "Alright, Genta, we can't catch up now. Conan's Detective Badge was also snatched away. Let Doctor Agasa make you another one later!"
Genta struggled forward angrily, "No, I want to get my Detective Badge back!"
Conan watched the two noisy kids. Although he was also a bit depressed that his Detective Badge was snatched, he still tried to persuade them, "I'm saying, it's just a Detective Badge that was snatched..."
Haibara Ai looked up at the direction the Crow flew away, "Having your Detective Badge snatched by a group of black things, this is not a good Omen."
"Hey, Haibara, you..."
Conan had just turned his head speechlessly to look at Haibara Ai when he was grabbed by Genta.
"Conan, you also want to get your Detective Badge back, right!"
"Genta, we need to go see Ayumi first!" Mitsuhiko desperately pulled Genta back, "You think so too, right, Conan?"
"No! We are the Junior Detective League, we must let the Robbers know the Consequences of snatching things!"
Conan was pulled back and forth, wanting to ask Haibara Ai for help, but found that Haibara Ai was still absentmindedly looking in the direction the Crow flew away, her expression gradually becoming numb.
My heart is so tired, suddenly I don't want to talk anymore...
...
On the way to Aoyama Fourth Hospital, a flock of Crows followed from a distance again.
Mamiya Mitsuru didn't notice, freed his right hand, and handed a Document to Mr. Chi, "Mr. Chi, I've brushed off the Phone Calls from the Hospital. Take a look first, so you don't slip up later."
"Thank you." Chi Feichi took the Document.
"You're welcome." Mamiya Mitsuru smiled, finally it's going to be completely over, happy!
Chi Feichi flipped through the Document.
The Document recorded the Time of Phone Calls from Aoyama Fourth Hospital, and roughly what both sides had talked about.
Most of the Phone Calls to Mamiya Mitsuru were from Zhi Ming Fukuyama, and the Reasons Mamiya Mitsuru made up were varied, for example—
He's been painting recently... Let him answer the Phone Call? He's still painting now, it's inconvenient to disturb him... The Situation is very good, nothing Abnormality, yes, please call again tomorrow...
He's with the Gardener tidying up the Flowers and Plants, it's temporarily inconvenient for him to answer the Phone Call, I'm really sorry... Yes, his Daily Activities are very rich...
We're going to have a Forest Picnic near the Castle, he's already gone ahead with the Servant, I really didn't expect that he could cook Dishes...
He went to the Tower to watch the Sunrise, yes, our Environment here is very good...
Except for when he was at the Old Castle, and happened to answer the Phone Call twice, communicating with Zhi Ming Fukuyama, all the other Reasons Mamiya Mitsuru found avoided letting him answer the Phone Call.
Constructing a very beautiful and healthy Life, without repetition, and even recording them, what a talent!
Chi Feichi was reading, when he suddenly heard Mamiya Mitsuru chuckle, looked up and glanced at him, Silence.
No, perhaps he's... a Genius who has never been discovered?
When they arrived at Aoyama Fourth Hospital, Zhi Ming Fukuyama, having received the News, had been waiting at the Entrance early on. When the Car stopped, he proactively greeted them, smiling like Maitreya Buddha, "Mr. Chi, welcome back!"
Chi Feichi: "..."
He didn't want this welcome at all!
"Mr. Mamiya, long time no see," Zhi Ming Fukuyama greeted Mamiya Mitsuru, and then said to Chi Feichi, "Mr. Shinnosuke has already told me about the specific Situation. The person coming to pick you up should be arriving soon. By the way, Mr. Chi, may I ask what day of the week tomorrow is?"
Feichi, hiding under Chi Feichi's sleeve, shouted loudly, "Master, Saturday! Saturday!"
Chi Feichi originally didn't want to compromise, but being stared at by Zhi Ming Fukuyama's smiling face, he still yielded, "Saturday."
Zhi Ming Fukuyama nodded with a smile, "It seems Mr. Chi has been recovering very well recently, maybe he will Recovery soon. Let's go, let's go inside and sit down."
As they walked through the hall and down the corridor, Chi Feichi suddenly heard a panicked female voice.
"Mr. Chi, Doctor Fukuyama, be careful!"
Chi Feichi immediately turned his head and looked in the direction of the voice, only to see a Bird hopping by the Flower Bed: "..."
How did this Despicable Bird run back again?!
That Bird was getting goosebumps from Chi Feichi's stare, "Hi?"
Still 'Hi'?!
Chi Feichi felt the gaze from Zhi Ming Fukuyama beside him, his face darkened a little.
The Bird, feeling guilty, flew to the Big Tree in the Courtyard, stood tall, and felt much more at ease, "Don't be so petty, just kidding!"
"Mr. Chi?" Zhi Ming Fukuyama observed Chi Feichi's expression changes and reactions, "Did you hear that Bird talking again?"
Mamiya Mitsuru looked at the Bird standing on the Tree, he really wanted to report—'Chi Feichi not only hears Birds talking, he also keeps a Snake, talks to the Snake all day long, living with him is a test of one's psychological endurance, for the sake of other people's mental health, please don't let him out!'
However, considering that he had told so many lies, wasted so many brain cells, been mentally exhausted for so long, and didn't want to cause any more trouble at the last moment, he still forcibly suppressed the urge to report.
Forget it, anyway, I'm free, wish the next one good luck!
"No," Chi Feichi turned his head back, his expression had already returned to calm, "I just think that Bird is going to be unlucky."
Zhi Ming Fukuyama observed Chi Feichi's expression and gave up. Okay, still the familiar, troublesome Mr. Chi, "Mr. Chi, do you think you have Precognitive Ability?"
Chi Feichi turned his head to look at that Big Tree again, "Not Precognition..."
Beside the Courtyard wall, a large flock of Crows rushed in with a whoosh, flying straight to the Big Tree.
The Red-Eyed Crow shouted imposingly, "My mighty Subordinates, clear the area!"
"Caw... Caw..."
"Gah—!"
A flock of Crows rushed towards the Bird standing dumbfounded on the Tree, flapping their Wings and directly knocking the Bird that hadn't reacted to the side.
Moreover, Crows, these Creatures, also like to pull the Feather of Animals, Cats, Dogs, Lions, tigers, wolves, vultures... As long as there is an Opportunity, there is nothing they dare not peck at. While driving them away, there are always Crows that can't help but take a bite.
"Shut up!"
"Stop pulling my Tail!"
That Bird rushed out of the Crow encirclement, shaking off a pile of Feathers, and quickly slipped to the Rooftop on the other side.
Chi Feichi watched feeling refreshed and relaxed, turned his head and calmly said to Zhi Ming Fukuyama, "It's just the Crow that bullies Birds and lords over Dogs has come."
Zhi Ming Fukuyama looked at the Tree full of Crows, speechless for a moment, didn't pursue the matter further, and took the two to the Office to sit and chat.
More than ten minutes later, Zhi Ming Fukuyama answered a Phone Call and came back with a Middle-aged Man.
The Man was wearing a Brown Suit, tall and big, with a high Hairline, revealing a Broad Forehead representing wisdom, with regular facial features, his Beard and hair were neatly groomed. Even when smiling, his Aura was stronger than Mamiya Mitsuru's, "Chi Feichi, it's been many years, do you still remember me?"
Chi Feichi found a vague figure in his Memory, the facial features and Beard were similar, but the Hairline wasn't this high, "Uncle Mikio?"
"Hahaha, I didn't expect you to still remember me. We haven't seen each other since you were two or three years old," the Man sat down on a Chair and looked at Mamiya Mitsuru, "This gentleman..."
Next, there was no lack of mutual Self-introduction, Pleasantries, and Zhi Ming Fukuyama confirmed some Situations again.
The Man was also a Distant Relative of Chi Feichi's cheap father, and had some interactions with Chi Feichi's Parents in his early years.
The vague Impression in Chi Feichi's Memory was left when the Man brought his Family to visit his Home.
However, because the Shinchi Group has been developing Overseas in recent years, the interactions between the two families gradually decreased, and they only occasionally met at some Business Gatherings.
When the Man signed on the Registry, Chi Feichi glanced at it: Morizono Mikio.
Not long after Mamiya Mitsuru said goodbye and left, Morizono Mikio also left the Hospital with Chi Feichi and got into the Car parked at the Entrance of the Hospital.
The driver drove the Car, Morizono Mikio sat in the back seat chatting with Chi Feichi, "Your Father will be back soon too. After attending my Son Kikuto's Wedding, he should pick you up and take you Home."
Chi Feichi thought back, Morizono Kikuto?
If he remembered correctly, it seemed to be the murderer who killed his own Butler in the Locked Room Case on the eve of his Wedding.
Combining the Family Fortune of the Morizono Residence, the possibility of having the same name is very low.
In other words, has his cheap father found him another problem Family?
Morizono Mikio didn't mind that Chi Feichi didn't respond, "When we visited your Home that year, Kikuto was sick and stayed at Home, you haven't met, but Yurie went with us, do you still remember Yurie?"
Chi Feichi recalled a Loli a little older than Ayumi and nodded.
Morizono Mikio immediately laughed, "Hahaha, Yurie would be very happy if she knew you still remember her! She and Kikuto are only two years apart in age, they often quarreled when they were young, and neither liked the other, but their Relationship only improved when they grew older. When Yurie went to your Home at that time, she really liked taking care of you who was still young at that time, and later she kept talking about it for a long time, saying she wanted a well-behaved younger brother like you!"
First they went to Chi Feichi's Residence to pack two sets of Clothes, and then went to the Morizono Residence. The Car drove all the way, and behind them, a flock of Crows chased all the way in the sky.
Morizono Mikio was a very good conversationalist, even when facing Chi Feichi's Personality of only occasionally responding with a few words, he didn't let the conversation die all the way. He naturally talked about some Past Events, and then talked about the recent Business Situation, and the Situation of his Family.
Chi Feichi listened all the way, and didn't feel bored.
The Morizono Residence was still a Castle-style building, but it wasn't as remote as the Mamiya Family, and it wasn't even far from Beihu Town. It was a good Place that was Quiet in a bustling area.
Chi Feichi got out of the Car, turned his head and glanced back, and sure enough, that flock of Crows had followed again, finding Places to land one by one on the Trees nearby.
Actually, the Environment of this Place is very good, there are few people nearby, and going out is not very troublesome either.
Unfortunately, he still won't be able to live here for long.
Not to mention whether this Family would still be in the Mood to take care of others after Morizono Kikuto killed someone. Even if Morizono Kikuto was stopped, after Morizono Kikuto held the Wedding, they would be newly married, and it wouldn't be right for him, an Outsider, to be wandering around every day.
If Morizono Kikuto didn't hold the Wedding and let his fiancée find happiness, it's estimated that this Family's Mood wouldn't be good either.
Moreover, his cheap Father seemed to just want to put him here for a Transition, and would be back soon...
Chi Feichi was distracted, when he suddenly heard Footsteps approaching quickly from behind, and dodged to the side.
A Red Dress Figure flashed out from Chi Feichi's side, lunged at empty air, and after steadying herself, her Dignified Face carried a hint of Annoyed Expression, "Chi Feichi!"
Chi Feichi recognized the other person, and nodded calmly, "Sister Yurie."
Morizono Yurie's facade broke in a second, she chuckled, and the Annoyed Expression on her Face disappeared completely, "I didn't scare you at all, please Cooperate a little, okay? But I didn't expect you to still remember me, it's not that my Father has already told you, right?"
