While Henggou Zhongwu was asking questions, he caught a glimpse of someone crossing the trestle from the corner of his vision. He paused his questioning and shouted to the three Conan people gathered together, "Hey, kiddos, why is Mr. Chi gone?"
Conan turned around with a puzzled look on his face, "Brother Chi has nothing to do with this case, right? When we saw Mr. Tieshan coming here, he was sleeping in the room. We followed Mr. Tieshan here, and soon The body of Mr. Tieshan was found..."
"It's impossible for him to commit the crime," Mitsuhiko said seriously, "I won't have any clues!"
Gentai looked at Henggou Shigego with a careful look, "Officer Henggou, you don't doubt Brother Chi, do you?"
"No, but..." Henggou Shigego looked at the back of Chi Feichi who walked across the suspension bridge and said with a black line, "As a disciple who is addicted to Maori, he didn't wander around the scene like his teacher. , or suddenly revealed who the murderer was and then left like that, which really surprised me, and those two girls were the first to discover the crime scene, right? Shouldn't you have said hello to me before leaving? "
Something was wrong. He suspected that Chi Feichi was investigating something, but there was no evidence.
Mitsuhiko sighed sadly, "In special circumstances, Officer Henggou, please don't take it too seriously."
Henggou Shigego: "Special circumstances?"
"Haihara and Ayumi should be back soon," Genta glanced at Yokomori and said, "Compared to that, you'd better solve the case quickly!"
Henggou realized again: "!"
This kid's eyes and tone are really...unpleasant!
"When Officer Henggou went to Tokyo to attend the search meeting last time, didn't you hear what other police officers said?" Conan looked up at Henggou Shigego and reminded, "Brother Chi has schizophrenia and has suffered from depression before. And multiple personalities, not sure when it will happen..."
"To put it this way, I heard my brother mention it, and Officer Megure from the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department also said that it's a pity that Mr. Chi is in such a bad state that he can't apply for the police academy." Yokogawa Shigego felt regretful when he thought about it. After thinking about it again, his reaction Come here, "The special situation you are talking about, could it be that Mr. Chi's condition has flared up?"
Natori Fukushi looked at Tanzawa Junsaku and said, "When Mr. Chi first arrived here, we said hello to him, but he was in a bad state at the time. When he heard that Mr. Tetsama was dead, he just nodded. He nodded, looking very cold and perfunctory."
"Yeah," Temple Yunping added, "We still think it's weird."
"It's just because of illness," Genta stared at Yokomori Shigego again, "So please police officer, please investigate quickly!"
"I know, that's my duty as a police officer, you don't need to remind me!" Henggou Shigego looked at Genta with a strange look. The kid next to the detective asked him to investigate quickly, which made him feel inexplicably satisfied, "However, Is this what Mr. Chi does when he is ill? It’s not much different from usual times..."
Conan: "..."
Hey, what's up with that feeling of 'I really want to study this'?
…
On the other side, Chi Feichi was not in a hurry to go back to the room. He took the two girls and Feichi to the restaurant for breakfast.
The little girl must not starve.
Haiyuan Ai and Bumi were eating and looked up at Chi Feichi. Seeing Chi Feichi eating silently, they looked at each other and chatted with each other, trying to bring up the topic.
Chi Feichi didn't show any respect, and responded with "Uh-huh-oh-oh" from time to time. Most of the time, he lowered his eyes and ate quietly. After finishing eating, he stared at the piano being played in the corner of the restaurant.
I don't want to get involved in the case, and I don't want to go back to take medicine, so why not spend some time here.
He didn't want to play the classical piano. After watching the two little girls worry for a long time, he could exclude the piano that was too sad.
Try some fast-paced piano music?
He hasn't played the piano much recently. In order to avoid finger cramps, it's better to move his fingers first...
"The doctor said he would take us to the park when he gets back, but Tsuburaya and Kojima want to watch a game. I heard that there will be a baseball game between Mikka Town and Aipado Town recently. Brother Chi, are you interested?" Ai Haibara tried his best to talk to her. Bumi started the conversation and didn't forget to ask Chi Feichi. When she looked up at Chi Feichi, she was stunned for a moment.
"Anything is fine," Chi Feichi clasped the back of his left hand with his right hand and moved his fingers one by one without raising his head. "As long as I have time, I can do anything."
Haibara Ai:"……"
After breakfast and tea time, Brother Fei Chi suddenly lowered his head with a gloomy expression and quietly moved his hands. This... what is he trying to do?
Bumi still had a sip of milk in her mouth. She raised her head and watched Chi Feichi in a daze as he finished moving his left hand and switched to his right. It took him a long time to swallow the milk.
Brother Chi seemed to want to hit someone, but now it's like he was trying to hold back before the explosion...
"Fei, Fei Brother Chi, what are you doing?" Haiyuan Ai asked, turning to look at the other guests and staff in the restaurant.
A murder had just occurred. People who were watching the excitement early in the morning arrived at the restaurant one step ahead of them. After breakfast, they stayed here drinking tea and chatting, discussing the case on the suspension bridge. If it were not at this time that Brother Chi suddenly went crazy, That……
Please don't scare her, she already wants to contact Edogawa urgently to come over and give him an anesthetic injection.
Chi Feichi stood up and looked up at the two girls who stood up nervously. He felt that their reaction was inexplicable and explained, "It's okay to sit down. I'll play two piano pieces for you."
Hui Yuan Ai was stunned, and instead of sitting down, he looked at Chi Feichi's hands, "Then you just..."
"I haven't played the piano for a long time. Let me stretch my fingers first." Chi Feichi lowered his head and looked at his right hand. "What weird thing are you thinking about?"
Hui Yuan Ai denied it decisively, "No..."
"Yes, yes," Ayumi said quickly, "I didn't think of anything weird."
There is no three hundred taels of silver here.
Chi Feichi commented in his mind and stepped forward to negotiate with the piano player without pursuing the matter.
"Hello, can I try the piano?"
The staff member was a little surprised. He quickly stood up and stepped aside with a smile. "You are welcome to do as you wish."
Haiyuan Ai and Bumi were still worried, so they followed to the side and watched Chi Feichi simply adjust the sound critically.
After Chi Feichi sat down, he recalled the score and put his hands on the piano.
"Dang-dang-dang...dang-dang..."
The crisp sound of the piano, with its brisk rhythm, quickly spread throughout the restaurant.
Huiyuan Ai and Bumi were startled, then looked up at Chi Feichi's side face.
"Pure Land"?
In the restaurant, other staff and guests did not pay attention to what was going on here. After hearing the melody, they all turned to look at the piano.
They are familiar with this...
Sorry, I already have a cute girl dancing in my mind...
Chi Feichi sat behind the piano, with half of his body covered by the piano. His hands moved and struck quickly on the keys, and a piece of music with a strong rhythm came out.
The piano player on the side sighed softly, "Okay, so awesome..."
Haibara Ai:"……"
(**)
Various organic things danced in her mind, and she felt suddenly happy inside.
The guests were immersed in the brainwashing melody. It was not until a song was played from beginning to end that they suddenly came back to their senses.
Some people forgot that there was a crime scene across the suspension bridge outside and couldn't help but lead the applause.
Amidst the sparse applause, Chi Feichi only paused for a moment, and then continued playing the piano at a faster speed.
The guests who had not yet had time to unify the rhythm of their applause quickly stopped and listened to the fast melody.
Hui Yuan Ai silently stared at Chi Fei Chi's fingers that quickly knocked out the afterimage.
No wonder Brother Fei Chi wants to move his fingers, but is this an impromptu performance after playing?
It sounded like it was a certain song, but she was sure she hadn't heard it.
Chi Feichi started to play the "Loser" mode with his bare hands, moving his fingers on the keys to hit the afterimage. Often, before the person standing next to him could see clearly, he had already reached the next few notes.
Next to him, the piano player looked at the white fingers dancing on the keys, and then looked up at Chi Feichi who looked calm.
Is this gentleman's hand okay?
…
On the trestle, Henggou Chongwu was about to ask the two security guards guarding the entrance of the trestle. As soon as he led a group of people to the middle of the bridge, he heard the brisk piano sound coming from the end. His face darkened and he walked faster.
A trestle connects the main house and the outdoor hot spring bath. On one side is the crime scene of a recent death and the busy police, on the other side...
The guests and staff were sitting in the restaurant behind the corner, quietly listening to the fast-paced and strong piano music, looking attentive, as if they were watching a performance.
Even the two security guards guarding the entrance to the trestle went to the door of the restaurant!
Conan followed Henggou Zhongwu to the door. He hadn't seen the piano player yet, but he already had a vague suspicion in his mind.
A completely new piece of music, like pop music, could it be...
"Wow!"
Henggou Shigego stretched out his hand to open the door, and shouted with a stern face, "I told you, can you pay more attention to me!"
quiet.
The sound of the piano stopped, and Chi Feichi, who was sitting behind the piano, turned to look at Henggou Zhongwu at the door, who was full of evil spirits.
Other people in the restaurant also turned around and looked over, recognizing that this was a police officer in charge of the case, and remained silent.
"Officer Henggou, is it affecting your investigation?" Chi Feichi asked aloud.
"You should at least pay attention! Someone died over there just now! I said..." Henggou Zhongwu looked at Chi Feichi's calm and cold face and remembered that this was a mental patient who might still be in the period of illness. Suddenly, I felt that I should be more tolerant and gentle, and tried my best to smile, "Of course, playing the piano doesn't seem to be too much."
All the guests looked at Henggou Shigego's distorted smile, and the restaurant remained silent.
Is the officer so angry that he almost loses his temper?
"Ahem," Henggou Zhongwu coughed dryly, maintained an awkward smile, and slowed down his tone towards Chi Fei, "Mr. Chi, I was not targeting you just now."
Conan was startled and looked up at Henggou Zhongwu.
Macho gentleness...terrifying.
"Anyway, anyhow, you go ahead, I'm going to continue the investigation." Henggou Shigego tried hard to maintain a gentle tone, feeling extremely tormented in his heart.
He had to admit that in terms of affinity, his coral-headed brother might be better. If his brother was here, he probably wouldn't have to work so hard...
Chi Feichi nodded, thinking that the song he just played was almost finished, and said to Haihara Ai and Bumi, "I was interrupted, I will change to another song."
Henggou realized again: "..."
(︵`)
Sure enough, he still bothered me?
Haibara Ai:"……"
Isn't it a new song?
Chi Feichi recalled the piano score of "KING" and continued the "waste-hand mode".
The same fast pace, but this time the rhythm is brighter and clearer.
The crowd in the restaurant turned their attention back to the piano music again.
Henggou Zhongwu looked at Chi Feichi's fingers moving into afterimages on the keys. For a moment, he forgot to close the door and went out. His eyes widened. He saw Chi Feichi's profile from his fingers along his arms, shoulders, and neck, and then from Chi Feichi's side. Fei Chi's side face and fingers can be seen along his arms.
I've made sure, yes, these are Mr. Chi's fingers, not some strange piano-playing machine.
