"Then, why did the people from that organization show up at the Chi family?" Dr. Ali guessed, "Could it be because of Fei Chi? The member of the organization code-named Belmode appeared next to him more than once, wasn't it? ?"
"Yes," Conan sighed and said in a heavy tone, "And the other person is Jane. Haibara, you said that after Mr. Shinosuke and Mrs. Kana left Japan, she was the housekeeper of Brother Chi's house until Brother Chi moved out. They separated only after they moved in, right? She was almost the one who watched Brother Chi grow up. The reason why the organization paid attention to Brother Chi was probably more complicated than we thought. This time Jane appeared there, maybe it was because of something. For the same reason."
"I originally thought they wanted to get something from Brother Fei Chi, so that woman would appear next to Brother Fei Chi repeatedly," Haiyuan Ai thought, "But if that's the case, seeing Brother Fei Chi grow up The older Jane should know where that thing is. There is no need... No, no, Jane just told me that when she was in a Japanese villa, as a maid, she usually would not step into the floor where Brother Chi lived. She also needs to keep a distance from Brother Fei Chi. She and Brother Fei Chi have been with each other for a long time, but they don't seem to know each other well. If Brother Fei Chi hides something, she may not know where it is..."
"Could it be because of Jane that Fei Chi discovered or accidentally obtained something important to that organization?" Dr. Ali continued to speculate, "Not long ago, they discovered that Fei Chi might have obtained that thing, and thought I took the thing back, but I didn’t want Fei Chi to know what it was, so I sent people to get close to Fei Chi repeatedly? As for that thing, it might be some kind of encrypted list, something Fei Chi doesn’t know how important it is..."
"No, I don't think it's necessarily an object. Maybe it's Brother Chi they're targeting," Conan thought, "Belmode secretly stared at Brother Chi with a very strange look, a look with very complicated emotions. , Teacher Judy said, she also marked the words "Cold Highness" on Brother Chi's photo. I always feel that it is not as simple as the doctor guessed... However, the doctor's guess is not impossible. If Bellmore De and Brother Chi once had an intersection that moved her heart and cared about her, and the organization decided to clean up Brother Chi after getting the things, so she might also show that complicated look, and she is not sure yet, Jane is It’s not like he was replaced by someone…”
"Then let me take this opportunity to confirm why the people from the organization appeared next to Brother Fei Chi," Haiyuan lamented, "I just secretly put the cufflink listening device made by the doctor on Jane's apron. Here, this kind of eavesdropping device has a special shape. Even if she sees it, she will probably think that it is just a cufflink that fell into her apron at some point. I have a way to recover it. Although there is no guarantee that I can get any information through eavesdropping, I am lucky. If so, maybe we can actually discover something.”
"Isn't this too risky?" Conan was silent for a moment, "Did you leave your fingerprints on the cufflink bug? If she finds out that it is a bug and finds out that you placed it, you may encounter to danger..."
"I put it in with my hands. It should have my fingerprints. But as I said, the shape of the cufflink bug is deceptive. It won't be easy for her to find it. I will also pay attention to the timing and recycle it regularly." Haibara Ai's tone was teasing, "Edogawa, you keep shouting that it's too dangerous. This is not your style. If you want to get clues, you need to take a little risk. This is what you have always insisted on, isn't it?"
"There's nothing we can do," Conan said helplessly, "The doctor and I can't go to you for the moment, and you're the only one facing it. If something goes wrong, you and all of us may die..."
"Do you feel worried?"
"Of course I will..."
"Then just worry slowly, and let you feel how I feel every time I see you messing around. I'm going to have lunch soon, so that's it for now. I'll contact you if I find anything new. "
"Hey, wait, the doctor and I are now..."
"Wait patiently, famous detective. If you want to succeed, you must have the patience and perseverance to resist anxiety."
"Dudu..."
…
Dr. A Li's house.
"Hang up..." Dr. Ali put the receiver back, thought for a while, and then said, "Xiao Ai's mood doesn't seem too bad."
"Yeah, her performance in facing those people's accomplices this time also surprised me." Conan walked towards the sofa, "I originally thought she was holding on, and probably had some pessimistic thoughts of self-sacrifice, but now it seems, She is very motivated, but the most urgent task now is to find out why Jane appears there and why those guys are paying attention to Brother Chi..."
Okiya Subaru was sitting on the sofa. He had been silent and distracted during the call. It was not until Conan walked up to him that he calmly said, "Speaking of the title 'Cold His Highness', I also heard that Judy As mentioned before, Bellmode seems to have marked strange words on the photos of you, Miss Xiaolan, and Mr. Chi, but for her, he just drew a red cross on the photo to indicate the target of elimination. Can that prove that in Bell At Mod's place, are you, Miss Xiaolan, and Mr. Chi grouped together? For example, people who won't hurt you, or people who won't hurt you for the time being, but will pay close attention to..."
Conan recalled his interaction with Sharon Wynyard, "I have met Belmode before, I should say I knew her before, but I only met her once. She was a friend of my mother, and Xiaolan was there at the time."
Subaru Okiya raised his eyes and looked at Conan with narrowed eyes under his glasses. Since Shirley could become smaller and he could move into Kudo's house, Conan's true identity was already tacitly understood by them. "What happened at that time Is it something special? Belmod’s label for Miss Xiaolan is Angel, and the label on your photo is Cool guy. Angel is a symbol of beauty, kindness and purity. I guess it refers to Miss Xiaolan’s character. …”
"She did seem to call Xiaolan Angle. There was an incident the day we met, and I solved it later," Conan recalled. "Is it because of this that she thought I was a cool guy? But I didn't seem to do it. Something strange..."
"That should be her subjective feeling. It is a cool thing to deduce the truth of the matter like Sherlock Holmes." Subaru Okiya paused, "Then, the cold highness she marked on Mr. Chi's photo, cold It should be the feeling that Mr. Chi gave her. Corresponding to Mr. Chi's usually indifferent character with almost no mood swings, highness is the same as your guy, but the title of guy is more casual, while highness, your highness, is a title of respect."
Dr. Ali touched her chin, "Is it because Fei Chi put a lot of pressure on her and made her think she was a respectable person?"
Conan thought for a while, looked at Subaru Okiya and asked, "Do you think highness is special?"
"Yes," Okiya Subaru admitted, "Mr. Chi is not a member of the royal family. It is very dramatic to use such a title. My colleagues and I previously thought that it might refer to Mr. Chi's identity as the eldest son of the Chi family, but combined with Xiaolan's The title of Miss "Angel" is like a stage play with princes, angels, and cool boys, which is very consistent with her status as a former female star. However, if Mr. Chi's housekeeper is a member of the organization, it seems that she is still involved in the organization. As an old man who has been here for more than ten years, does the title Your Highness refer to some kind of relationship..."
Conan frowned, "You mean..."
"Mr. Shinnosuke and Mrs. Kana, are they related to that organization?" Subaru Okiya directly expressed his suspicions.
"I don't think so. Haibara has met Mrs. Kana more than once, and has lived in the same house with Mrs. Kana. Now he has also met Mr. Shinosuke," Conan denied. "If they are members of the organization, Haibara will not Maybe she didn't feel it, but Haibara only talked about Jane, and she didn't mention that she had any special feelings for Mr. Shinosuke, whom she met last night."
"That's right..." Subaru Okiya felt troubled by this situation of 'hidden clues, but seriously insufficient clues', and decided not to analyze those strange names. "In short, the actions of that organization don't look like it." She wants Mr. Chi's life, at least for now, and this time, she was just discovered accidentally. As long as she is careful, she should be able to handle it. If she can handle it this time, she will be much more relaxed in the future, and maybe she will be on TV. The show won’t be in any big trouble.”
"Now we can only wait for the news about Xiao Ai. It's really worrying," Dr. Ali sighed worriedly, "Even if Fei Chi can help her, I can feel relieved..."
"Before we figure out the relationship between Mr. Chi and that organization, we'd better keep the original plan and not tell him too much," Subaru Okiya reminded seriously, "not only for our safety, but also for the safety of Mr. Chi. Think about it, after all, there are a lot of things we haven’t figured out yet.”
Dr. A Li sighed again, "Xiao Ai also insisted not to tell Fei Chi about these things. She said that if she was exposed, the uninformed Chi family would be safer..."
It was impossible for Huihara Ai to imagine that there was another person here who had worked for the organization and knew as much about the organization's operations as she did.
Okiya Subaru thought for a moment, "It's not absolutely safe. If those guys think 'I'd rather kill the wrong person than let go', they probably won't take into account the identity of the Chi family, such as placing enough bombs in a certain place to An attack that the police thought had an unknown purpose took the opportunity to let three members of the Chi family die there. As long as it was concealed enough so that the police could not trace the organization, even if they were the leaders of a large consortium or a large group, they It’s not that I don’t dare to take action.”
"I have also thought about it," Conan said solemnly, "They can even attack members of Congress who are under police protection. They may not worry about the background of the Chi family. However, if the Chi family does not know about it, they may want to investigate first considering the risks. How much does the Chi family know? If it really comes to that point, the period of their investigation will be the opportunity that the Chi family can seize and survive. When the time comes, no matter what Haiyuan thinks, I will remind Brother Chi that there is danger around him... "
