While Chi Feichi was typing, his phone vibrated, and a bunch of new messages appeared on the chat page.
[Because after thinking about it, I still feel that it’s too troublesome to bring an early warning device to a coffee shop and let the children take it all. It’s not a choice you would make. Your car is parked at the Maori Detective Agency. You can put your things in the car downstairs and then drive here. You don’t need to walk around with the things. If you hand them to children, they may be damaged by them... So I thought, You may have had some purpose in handing things to the children, and after entering the coffee shop and sitting down, you sent a message to someone on your mobile phone, right? It's like communicating with someone - 'I'm here, how are you over there'...]
Conan read the content quickly and looked at Toru Amuro, who was separated from him by Chi Feichi and Mouri Kogoro.
Without looking at the name above the chat box, he knew that this information was passed on to Brother Chi by Mr. Amuro.
In fact, when Mr. Amuro said on the road, "It's hard to catch the prisoner if he's an employee," he also thought about the possibility that Brother Chi had other plans.
Just looking at this information, you can tell that Mr. Amuro is the kind of detective with keen observation and strong reasoning ability.
Uncle Kogoro has another powerful apprentice following him. He really doesn't know whether this is a blessing or a curse for them...
Chi Feichi read the message from Toru Amuro and sent the newly edited message.
【bingo. The staff at the regional center get off work at 6 p.m. Miss Okamura will go home to check the store today. Regardless of whether there are residents staying at the regional center, she will leave there at 6 p.m. Another employee, Miss Yamazaki, may stay a little longer, but She would lock the door and leave the regional center around eight o'clock at the latest. The children would meet at the doctor's house around seven o'clock. I asked the doctor to drive the children to the regional center in advance and secretly take a look at what time Ms. Yamazaki was. If Ms. Yamazaki leaves, ask them to set up cameras and early warning devices. 】
Conan: "..."
Chi Feichi is really a cunning guy. He even made excuses to fool them before.
A moment later, Toru Amuro's message came over again.
[You said that the regional center only has two employees, right? In this case, split surveillance is indeed a good idea, but wouldn't it be a problem to let the child follow the doctor in charge of that side? I think there should be at least a detective or something to help them...]
Chi Feichi typed a reply.
[The crossing water has passed, and Xiaolan is still there, so the fighting power over there should be enough. 】
Conan looked up at Chi Feichi in shock.
Xiaolan and Nanatsuki-san went to the district center? When did Chi Feichi discuss this with them? Why didn't he know?
Toru Amuro glanced sideways at Chi Feichi in surprise and continued to send messages on his mobile phone.
[When they were downstairs at the Mori Detective Agency, they were still debating whether they should watch a TV series tonight, chat with Ms. Azusa, or go to the mall. Did you send a message to them halfway to ask them to go to the regional center to help? Or is it that you have discussed it long ago but have been hiding it from us? 】
Chi Feichi replied quickly.
[While eating ramen at the Mori Detective Agency, I quietly told Koshizui that the reason why I didn’t tell you and the teacher directly before departure was because I was worried that the teacher would see Miss Okamura as a young and cute girl and not be able to talk. I was so selfless that I accidentally let it slip. 】
Conan suddenly felt a little depressed.
Then when did Xiaolan and Sister Nanatsuki collude? Everything happened under his nose, but he didn't notice it. Was he too careless to ignore the movements of the people around him tonight?
Also, why didn’t Xiaolan tell him?
As expected, children have no human rights, and no one else thought of telling him when discussing this plan.
"Buzz..."
Soon, Toru Amuro's message was sent to Chi Feichi's mobile phone.
[Does a teacher say something because he is too excited to chat with someone? He used to be a detective. 】
Conan simply felt that it was not good to keep looking at Chi Feichi's mobile phone screen, and he did not intend to watch the two chatting anymore. However, after seeing this message from Toru Amuro, he gave up the idea of looking away.
Maybe it's because that guy Sera is always asking for news about Kudo Shinichi, which makes him a little nervous lately.
As soon as he saw this kind of conversation where he could get information about a character's personality, he wondered if Mr. Amuro was deliberately trying to pry into something...
Chi Feichi typed a reply.
[I’m not sure if the teacher will let the matter slip. It’s just that he gets easily excited when chatting with beautiful women. I can’t rule out the possibility that he might let the matter slip. In this case, I think it’s better not to tell him. 】
"Buzz..."
New news:
[The consultant is really cautious. If he has doubts, he will solve the possible problem factors in advance...]
"I kept you waiting for a long time!"
Okamura Saki said energetically, put a glass of juice and three cups of coffee on the tray, and took them out of the bar.
Conan stopped looking at Chi Feichi, feeling a little funny in his heart.
It doesn't seem strange that Mr. Amuro is curious about the character of his teacher and senior brother. He may have been really neurotic recently.
"Little brother, this is your mango juice!" Okamura Saki leaned over and put the tray on the countertop, brought Conan's juice to Conan, and then brought a cup of coffee to Chi Feichi, "This is Chi Feichi Sir, please take your time with your espresso iced coffee!"
"Thank you for the hospitality." Chi Feichi responded politely to Okamura Saki, replied with a series of ellipses to Amuro Tohru's comment, and then looked at the message sent by Koshizu Nanatsuki.
"I said you two..." Mouri Kogoro was speechless, "Today is also a gathering between our master and apprentice, so why don't you keep looking at your phone?"
"Ah, I'm sorry," Toru Amuro smiled apologetically and put away his phone first. After Saki Okamura put down his cup of coffee, he asked aloud, "Ms. Okamura, I want to ask you about the situation at the regional center. , I don’t know if it’s inconvenient for you…”
Now that he decided to join in the fun, Toru Amuro was ready to conduct a serious investigation and asked Okamura Saki about some information.
For example, does the regional center usually lock the interior doors and courtyard doors? Is there anyone else who has worked in the regional center?
Okamura Saki also responded one by one.
Interior doors will be locked...
The courtyard door is always unlocked...
The regional center had just started operating, and he and Toshiko Yamazaki were the first and only employees...
However, customers soon came to the coffee shop. Okamura Saki was busy entertaining the customers and did not always answer Toru Amuro's questions.
"Fei Chi, didn't those brats say they were going on patrol tonight? Haven't they contacted you yet?" Mouri Kogoro drank half a cup of coffee, turned to look at Okamura Saki who was busy, and then turned to Chi Fei Chi forced a smile and said, "Sitting like this is really boring. If we don't go on patrol for the time being, why don't we drink two beers together? Just two beers, it's like we've never had any. Xiaolan must have noticed It won’t work!”
"No, I won't let you drink, not to deal with Xiaolan, but because you have drank too much in the past two days." Chi Feichi simply rejected Maori Kogoro's proposal and took out a bottle of wine from his coat pocket. A deck of playing cards, said to Moori Kogoro, "I have already prepared. If you feel bored, we can use playing cards to pass the time."
The smile on Mouri Kogoro's face disappeared, and he reluctantly looked at the playing cards in Chi Feichi's hand. After all, he still couldn't forcefully say "I won't play", "That's the only way..."
…
For the next hour, the master, apprentice, and Conan all passed the time with poker.
Mouri Kogoro had playing cards to pass the time, food and drinks at hand, and the lively Okamura Saki chatting with him from time to time. He didn't feel that the time was difficult anymore. When he realized that the time was already 8:30 in the evening, he realized it later. I had been playing for too long, and after the card game on the table was over, I stopped and said, "Hey, hey, it's already half past eight in the evening. Are those brats still going to patrol?"
Conan took out his mobile phone and jumped off the chair, "Let me call and ask Haiyuan!"
Chi Fei got up late and said, "Then let me go to the bathroom."
According to the information Koshimizu sent him, another employee of the regional center, Miss Yamazaki Toshiko, had left the regional center at 7 p.m.
As soon as Yamazaki Toshiko left, Koshimizu and the children quietly entered the yard and placed the early warning devices and cameras.
Originally, they thought that if the prisoner was one of the two staff members of the regional center and knew that they were going to patrol at night and install early warning devices and cameras, the prisoner would either give up destroying the flower beds and stop setting traps tonight. Or destroy the flower garden before they go on patrol. When the children left the district center in the morning, they shouted to meet at eight o'clock in the evening. Therefore, the most convenient time for the flower garden vandals to destroy the flower garden is before eight o'clock tonight.
If the prisoner went to destroy the flower garden before eight o'clock, he would definitely be discovered by Yueshui and his party who were guarding outside.
Even if the prisoner is careful not to make too much noise, the camera placed on the wall will record the vandalism and leave evidence of the crime.
This is their first plan.
The plan is currently being implemented relatively smoothly, but at the same time there are no gains.
After Yamazaki Toshiko left, Koshimizu took the children to the yard to install the early warning device. It was certain that the flower garden had not been damaged at that time. After the early warning device and camera were installed, Koshimizu and others stood guard on the road outside the yard. It was not found that Toshiko Yamazaki had gone back.
As for their side, Okamura Saki did leave their sight two or three times, saying that he was going to the backyard or upstairs to get something, but each time he left, he did not leave for more than ten minutes. It takes about ten minutes to drive from here to the district center, Okamura Saki There is no time to destroy flower beds.
Neither of the two employees at the regional center did anything suspicious.
In addition, Yueshui sent him a message ten minutes ago to tell him that there had been no movement in the courtyard of the district center and that the flower garden vandals had not taken action.
Of course, no one can tell until tomorrow morning whether the garden vandals will act or whether the crime will be caught on video.
Since there is no movement from the flower garden vandals, they can go back and rest early tonight, and their subsequent plans will be decided after seeing the situation tomorrow morning.
