For lunch that day, Mouri Kogoro listened to Koshimizu Nanatsuki's suggestion and chose a hot pot restaurant.
It was early autumn and not many people were eating hot pot.
While Mouri Kogoro was eating and drinking the hot hot pot, the shop owner quietly looked at him with admiration at the front desk. After Moori Kogoro finished eating, he asked the famous detective for an autograph.
This meal was settled by Koshizu Nanatsuki. He said, "Thank you, Mr. Mori, for taking care of me. I will cause trouble to you in the future. Please take care of me." Chi Feichi couldn't offer to pay for it himself, so he followed him again. Teachers eat and drink together.
After the two sent the drunk Mouri Kogoro back to the Moori Detective Agency, they went to a building opposite.
The builder that Oyama Mi contacted has arranged for the person in charge to come over. In addition to the person who did the preliminary on-site measurement, he also brought an architectural designer to prepare for on-site communication and plan making.
Chi Feichi invited people into the living room and asked Koshizu Nanatsuki to communicate with him about his needs.
The designer came well-prepared and brought a laptop to make a rendering of the courtyard for Koshimizu Nanatsuki on the spot. "As for the additional restrooms and toilets, I recommend using recently popular boards. There is no need to use brick-concrete structures. This makes it easier to dismantle or adjust and rebuild later. There are already very strong boards on the market. After erection, safety can be guaranteed, and the waterproof performance is very good, it is not easy to stick to stains, and it will be easier to clean..."
The person in charge added with a smile, "Currently, there are not many private uses, because this kind of board is only suitable for building outdoor restrooms. However, some parks abroad are already using it, and it is also being used in some places in China. Although it is still short and has a long service life. It’s an estimate, but it won’t be a problem if it lasts for five years, and the price of the addition is cheaper than a wooden or brick-concrete building. I recommend giving it a try.”
"Okay, but safety must be ensured..." Chi Feichi noticed his cell phone vibrating in his coat pocket, got up and went to the balcony, "Sorry, you guys watch first, I'm going to answer the phone."
He is not afraid that the person in charge will deceive him. If there is a problem with the new material experiment, the lawyers of the Mayike Group will go directly to the company to talk.
The phone was connected, and Conan on the other side said his name consciously, "Brother Chi, I am Conan. I am not disturbing you, am I?"
"No," Chi Feichi felt that Conan didn't need to be so polite. It was good to talk about something when he had something to say, so he asked directly, "Why did you call me?"
"I want to ask you, do you know..." Conan said, suddenly paused, "No, it's nothing, you seemed to have a bad sleep last night, I want to ask you how you feel now? Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?"
Chi Feichi leaned against the balcony guardrail and looked at the wall clock on the wall in the room, "Yanta's father's name is Motoji Kojima. You will be surprised to see him."
"You..." Conan was a little confused, "How did you know that I called you to ask you this?"
"It's now 5:25 pm. You guys have been out of school for almost two hours. It's a bit too false for you to call me and say you're worried about me. If you're worried, you can call me after school. You can be after school for half an hour. You can call me when you return to the detective agency, or you can stop by my place on the way back from school to check on the situation. And you suddenly paused for a while, which means that this is not what you originally wanted to say, but something suddenly occurred to you and you changed your words temporarily, "Chi Fei Chi used his actions to prove that famous detectives are not the only ones who can play everyday reasoning. "In addition, if you go back to the detective agency, you will find that I have guests here and more than one car parked at the door. With your character, I will call you." I'm not curious to ask what's going on. It means you haven't gone home yet. I was browsing the forum last night and saw that many people were discussing the recent selection of Mr. Kojima in Japan. Genta's father met the registration requirements. And this afternoon on Nippon TV, there will be trials and finals after the preliminary rounds. If Yuantai has time, he will definitely want to cheer for his father. After you heard about it, you should also be interested in going and watching..."
Conan: "..."
I almost forgot, Chi Feichi is careful and has abnormal reasoning ability.
But why is it too fake for him to call and care? Couldn't he call and care about Chi Feichi, who had gotten up so many times last night and left a new cigarette butt in the living room that he didn't have before going to bed?
In terms of carefulness, he is not bad either.
"It takes about forty minutes for children to walk from your school to Rimai TV Station. If you let Dr. Ali drive, pick you up and go there with you, including the time it takes the doctor to pick you up, the final time required will be about the same. "It won't take more than an hour," Chi Feichi said. "If nothing happens, you should be watching the finals now. You won't have time to call me. Even if you want to play, it's not too late to play after watching..."
"So, what's your conclusion?" Conan asked with interest.
He was curious about how much Chi Feichi could find out from one of his phone calls.
"After school in the afternoon, you went to Rimai TV Station, and then you, the god of plague, encountered another incident, and the selection was forced to be terminated," Chi Feichi continued, "From the time of meeting to the time of the phone call, during this period of one hour, I waited for the police to come over And we started investigating. It’s almost time. At this time, you were supposed to be focused on solving the case and called me... Thinking of the fact that I met Yuantai’s parents when I sent them back, I can imagine that Yuantai’s father was involved in the incident. There, and he is very likely to be a suspect. You called me and wanted to ask me who Yuantai's father was. You suddenly changed your story because after you calmed down, you thought that knowing who Yuantai's father was would lead to your own preconceptions. , I felt that Yuantai’s father could not have committed the crime, which would affect his judgment.”
"You know what I think, why did you tell me directly?" Conan said speechlessly, "And what is the God of Plague..."
Chi Feichi vaguely heard the screams of his teacher coming from the Maori Detective Agency, and looked sideways, "I believe you won't be affected by this."
When Conan heard that he knew him so well and trusted him, he felt it in his heart. Even Chi Feichi avoided the topic of 'God of Plague' and didn't want to get entangled in it. At most, he complained in his heart about Chi Feichi's lack of points, "Then you want to know this What is the situation of the incident? The police are still questioning the three suspects. If you want to know the situation, I can tell you the general situation first. I will call you later after Officer Takagi finishes questioning. you say."
My friends are going to compete together to solve crimes!
Chi Feichi: "I don't want to."
Conan: "..."
Hey hey...
"Come back as soon as you have solved it. The teacher is about to be beaten to death by Xiaolan, and Xiaolan should invite Yueshui and me to come over for dinner in the evening, or come to my place to eat. If you don't come back, make a call as soon as possible. Don't let us wait."
After Chi Feichi finished speaking, he hung up the phone.
Leaving aside the amount of information in Fei Chi's words in the digestion tank over there, Conan's heart was filled with tears and he didn't know where to start.
…
That night, Mao Lilan indeed called Mao Li Kogoro and Conan, who had returned home, to come to Chi Feichi with a small gift that would be given when visiting neighbors. It was considered as an advance welcome for Koshimizu Nanatsuki to move in and have a meal together.
The topic at the dinner table was the renovation of the yard. After the meal, Koshimizu Nanatsuki and Mao Lilan helped clean up the dining table, and then they got together to use Chi Feichi's computer to look at the renderings and discuss which set of furniture recommended by the person in charge. .
The party ended in a leisurely and relaxed atmosphere until nine o'clock in the evening.
After Chi Feichi waited for everyone else to go back, he took a taxi to Ekoda and met Koizumi Anko at her home. At Koizumi's request, he slept one night on a stone slab with a magic circle painted on it and candles lit around it.
After falling asleep, dreams come as promised.
Chi Feichi left the Bone Jade Space and saw the wall outside the Montgomery family residence.
Thirteen-year-old Phoebe and a boy huddled behind a tree, quietly watching the soldiers coming in and out of the door.
"Nature's child?"
Koizumi Hongzi's uncertain voice came from the side.
Chi Feichi turned around and saw only a human figure that looked like it was made of white mist. "Is the me you see now a mist?"
When Chi Feichi was talking, the bone jade made another soft noise, which scared Fei Bi so much that she quickly reached out to cover the bone jade pendant around her neck.
"Yes, the human-shaped white mist is like a ghost," Koizumi Hongzi hadn't noticed that Chi Feichi's words were related to Gu Yu, so she lowered her head and looked down, "What about me? Don't I have a body?"
"You are also a mist." Chi Feichi said, causing the bone jade to start ringing again.
Phoebe lowered her voice and lowered her head to comfort the bone jade pendant, "I know you are angry, and so am I, but I can't say anything now."
Koizumi Anko reacted, "Will your words make that thing make a sound? Can you actually interfere with everything here?"
Chi Feichi nodded.
Koizumi Hongzi asked again, "Isn't this a dream?"
Chi Feichi: "..."
He couldn't answer this by nodding and shaking his head, and he didn't know what it meant.
Koizumi Anko changed the question, "Is this girl the immortal witch Phoebe?"
Chi Feichi nodded.
Koizumi Hongzi noticed that Phoebe and the boy were whispering to each other. She listened carefully and asked speechlessly, "What are they talking about? There are some words that I don't quite understand..."
Chi Feichi remained silent and pointed to the door ahead.
He also had difficulty translating and understanding the language problem at first, but Hongzi will just get used to it.
As for what Phoebe and the boy were talking about, he could answer with actions.
This should be the second night after Becky was burned to death. The army and missionaries were busy counting the harvest, commonly known as 'house raiding'.
This is what Phoebe and the boy were looking at, and this is what they were talking about.
Koizumi Hongzi looked at the door. After seeing someone carrying a big box out, she thought of the record that the Red Magic family's house had also been ransacked. She understood what Chi Feichi meant, and her face instantly turned cold, and then relaxed after a moment. He frowned worriedly, "The agreement back then seemed to be that the land and subjects belonged to other lords or monarchs, and the collections of each family belonged to the missionaries. Only the missionaries wanted these the most. If there were missionaries in it, they would definitely not be able to hide it. Chi The Magic Family and other families have missing treasures, and they should have fallen into their hands."
Chi Feichi floated in front of Fei Bi and asked Koizumi Hongzi to pay attention to the strange-shaped wooden branches at Fei Bi's feet.
Hongzi underestimated the magic and splendid culture of this era. The missionaries had treasures to find, and the Montgomery family who had collected various strange objects for generations also had things to protect themselves.
Although most of them could not be taken out and fell into the hands of those people, the children who escaped had some things that were used for self-protection and easy portability.
