**Chapter 309: Don't Ask Such Naive Questions**
"Is Ai not going with us?" Chi Feichei asked.
"No," Haibara Ai yawned and rubbed her Eyes, "I don't want to stay in a strange Place like that for a few Days. When will you be back?"
"If there are no Accidents, probably three Days," Chi Feichei pulled open the Car Door. "If there is an Accident, we can be back tonight."
Haibara Ai's nodding Action paused.
Wait, if there's an Accident, we can be back tonight... is that the 'Accident' she understood?
"Isn't it bad to Curse someone else's House before you even go?" Conan reminded him, then couldn't help but laugh. "But you'll be staying there as a guest, right? Maybe something really will happen."
Chi Feichei silently raised his Right Hand.
"Cough, I was Just joking," Conan said seriously. "Let's go quickly."
Coward!
Haibara Ai silently scorned him in her Heart. "Be Careful on the Road."
Chi Feichei Nodded, Get On The Bus, closed the Car Door, and drove away.
Conan propped his chin with one Hand and Looked at the Scenery outside the Car Window.
He originally didn't want to go to such a boring Tea Ceremony Gathering.
What? Ran and the Others are staying in Shizuoka for a few Days, and he has no one to take Care of him? He can go to Chi Feichei's Place!
He has a Room, Okay?
Originally, he had thought everything through. Come Travel yesterday, return to Chi Feichei's Place today, and also have delicious Chinese Cuisine... Cough, that's not the Key Point. The Key Point is, Tomorrow go buy two Mystery Novels, solve mysteries together with Chi Feichei, and then eat delicious Chinese Cuisine...
But man proposes, God disposes.
Why did this Fellow Chi Feichei want to understand the Tea Ceremony? It caused Ran to Call over early in the morning and ask this Fellow to go over and Help, and he also had to Follow.
At the Ninety-Nine Linked Curves, the Car continuously Drifting again.
Until they exited the Bend, Chi Feichei, who had been Silent, Suddenly remembered something. "Whether you all are on summer vacation?"
There was no Response for Half a Day.
Once Seeing, Conan was slumped in the Seat, tied by the Seatbelt, with Mosquito Coil Eyes spinning in his Eyes.
It was real Mosquito Coil Eyes!
Chi Feichei slowed down the Car speed and Looked a couple more times.
This World is truly amazing. Others' Eyes can have so many changes, again with Bean Eyes, again with Mosquito Coil Eyes, why can't he do it?
Conan recovered for a while, still a bit Stunned, and made an Effort to sober up a bit, helplessly Teasing, "Brother Chi, when going through the bend, can you say something In Advance? I was looking at the side Window... Uh-huh? By the Way, what did you say Just Now?"
Chi Feichei withdrew his Line of Sight. "Whether you all are on summer vacation?"
"You just Realize?" Conan was slumped, Speechless Looking at Chi Feichei. "We're almost starting school."
Chi Feichei: "..."
Sorry, he really Don't Know that they were still on summer vacation at the end of September...
"But Also Correct," Conan was Feeling sleepy and dizzy, and Yawned. "You fundamentally cannot distinguish the Date..."
Chi Feichei Suddenly pulled the Car over and braked to a stop, and Get off the Car.
"Hey..." Conan hastily sat up straight.
He wouldn't get angry just like this, right?
Chi Feichei went to the Car Rear Trunk, took a thin blanket, Opened the Back Car Door, and Put In. "Sleep in the back, I'll Drive slower."
"Okay..." Conan Suddenly felt a bit slightly guilty. So it was sending warmth. How could he have thought of Chi Feichei as so stingy Before? "Thank You."
But, Before sending warmth, could you also say something first? Being frightened by Chi Feichei's cold Face and Park the Car, he wasn't very sleepy anymore...
...
Shizuoka.
In front of a Japanese-Style Mansion, Chi Feichei Parked the Car well and took Conan Go over.
Mori Kogoro and Mouri Ran had Already arrived. Afterwards, Mouri Ran and an Older Housekeeper Go Out to receive the two people and Go in.
The entire Residence was Just Like a large Park. Besides the Japanese-Style Buildings, there were Also Green Plants forming a Landscape stone path, and a huge Pond.
Inside the House Beside the Pond, Mouri Ran was Standing at the Guardrail Side, Asked Smilingly, "The Pond's Scenery is very beautiful, right?"
"Uh-huh!" Conan Nodded heavily, examining the Pond Water shimmering with Golden Light, Suddenly Thinking this trip was not a loss. "But Why will the lake surface have Golden Luster? It's truly special!"
"Sunshine Reflection, Don't Ask Such Naive Problems." Chi Feichei Said a Sentence, and Turn Around to Return Inside the House.
At least be a bit of a Famous Detective, is it really Okay to Ask Such Problems lacking common sense?
Conan Half-Moon Eyes: "..."
Is this Problem very naive?
Mouri Ran was a bit surprised. "Doesn't Brother Hichiji like it?"
"No, Just too hot." Chi Feichei Found an Excuse.
The Golden lake water was shimmering, stinging the Eyes.
"Correct, it is the reason for Sunshine Reflection."
From the Rear, a Man and a Woman wearing the Same Kimono Walked over.
The Man Look Towards Conan, Said Smilingly, "Is this Younger Brother the First Time Looking at the Pond this close? Every year when This Season arrives, because of the Difference in Sunlight angle, Five-colored, Different Colors Transformation will be produced on the water surface."
Conan: "..."
Sorry, he Lacks common sense, is that Okay?
"So that's how it is," Mori Kogoro said understandingly. "So This Villa at your residence will only then be called the Five-Colored Water Palace."
"Yes," the Man Paused. "By the Way, may I ask who are you?"
The Housekeeper Standing Aside Helped to Introduce.
The Man and Woman who Come Over are both That Tea Ceremony Grandmaster's Disciple Kuroki Jiro. The Man is called Morio Yakura, Operating an Antique Shop. The Woman's surname is Mimura, Operating a Company.
Chi Feichei Came as Mori Kogoro's Disciple Identity, and was categorized into the Family Members Category, considered Following Mori Kogoro to freeload.
After the Housekeeper finished introducing, she then went to Find the Grandmaster to Report.
Wait until the Housekeeper After leaving, That Miss Mimura, Fanning herself with a Fan, Go To a corner Inside the house, and Laughed out loud, "Today there really is a good show to watch. The Grandmaster always won't give a good Face towards people. Even If you are a Famous Detective, he Still Don't Know Whether he will appreciate it!"
Mori Kogoro Be Stunned, and muttered in a low voice to Mouri Ran, "That's why I only then don't like to Substitute Others as a guest."
"Sorry," Mouri Ran Smilingly put her hands together, "Sonoko Requested Me, I also have no Method."
Inside the house, Chi Feichei Raised his Eyes and Look Towards another Young Man who Walked in.
The Young Man was Stared at until Be Stunned by the Coldly Line of Sight.
He... What's Wrong?
Conan was Still Leaning on the Railing Side, Turn Head and Ask Mouri Ran Beside him, "Ran, is That Building in the Middle of the Pond Just the Place for drinking tea?"
"Hey?" Mouri Ran Looked over and Exclaimed, "If you don't say, I haven't noticed yet. There is so much Calmness Sense of beauty. Only this is called Real Enjoyment! There must be Just the Tea Room."
"Correct, you are Correct," the Young Man Looked at Chi Feichei. Seeing Chi Feichei was no longer paying attention to him, he confusedly Moved away from Chi Feichei and Sat Aside, and Speak Out to Introduced, "There Is Just the Middle of This Five-Colored Pond, So it was Named Five-Colored Hermitage. Originally, This Tea Room would be built for the sake of Hoping to Stay away from the mortal world."
Mouri Ran Turned back. "So it was Originally called Five-Colored Hermitage. It really is a Meaningful Name."
Chi Feichei Lower Head and was scrolling through the Bounty Forum.
He had Suspicion This Is Mutual business praise...
"This is Ryoichi," Morio Yakura Introduced. "He Also is the Grandmaster's Biological son."
Ryoichi Aonogi was Kneeling, and Upright Made a bow. "Mr. Mouri, we Really Very Welcome You to Visit my humble abode."
"Oh dear, you Came So fast?" That Miss Mimura Turned back, her Tone Teasing, "Next, Whether we Should Tell This Famous Detective About That Demon Legend?"
"What Demon?" Mori Kogoro had Doubt. "What is that Thing?"
"Just a Statement Similar to Superstition about This Pond." Morio Yakura Said hastily.
"Regarding This matter, Don't say anymore, Okay?" Ryoichi Aonogi was a bit angry, then Look Towards Mori Kogoro, his Expression Recovering Calm. "I came over Just to Say hello with you. Excuse me, I'll take my leave."
After Saying, he Direct Get Up and Leave.
"Miss Mimura, it's all your fault. Every time you Take this matter to Teasing Ryoichi," Morio Yakura Complained, and Again Turn Head to Mori Kogoro and Invited, "We Go over there to Drink some Tea. I will again Introduce to everyone."
A Group of People Sat around and Drink Tea.
Chi Feichei Didn't move, Still Leaning Aside, Lower Head Looking at his Mobile Phone.
Someone On the Forum Mentioned Eguchi Noriko's Matter. The Yamaguchi-gumi Stated they would To investigate thoroughly. But the Japanese Public Security's Bounty Board did not publish a Bounty. It seems the Yamaguchi-gumi Is planning to Investigate Oneself, and Fundamentally did not Let the Police have Knowledge of the Situation.
It makes sense. They Oneself Also did Dirty things. If they Want the Police to Interfere, and Investigate out What Matter Unfavorable to them, What to do?
Might as well Initially strongly Resist with a strong Attitude, and Don't let the Police Interfere.
Besides This, In the Forum, there are Five News that Need to Pay Attention To.
One is that his Price Increase. Probably is a certain time he Privately ordered a Home Delivery Service, which Offended Others. Someone Secretly Threw Money Towards his Bounty Pool Inside, Threw over 300,000 Japanese Yen. But there was no Post threatening retaliation. Guess it Also not Some great enmity. This kind of Attitude of not tearing with him, Maybe Later will also become Oneself's Client.
The Second News is that the Yamaguchi-gumi Posted to Gather Dark forces Within Japan to Investigate the Murderer who Killed Eguchi Noriko. It Also specially mentioned 'July', with a Clearly marked price. Provide Clue for 300,000 Japanese Yen, Found and Seize the Murderer for 1,000,000 Japanese Yen.
This has No Method to accept, Unless he Can Tie up Oneself well and Deliver to the door.
The Third News is that a certain Anonymous Account Posted About the Shinchi Group Chairman's Only Son Chi Feichei's Bounty. The Request is Kidnapping Or Attack.
Kidnapping Never Mind, This Request of 'Attack' is Very subtle. It Should be Someone There in Britain who Want to use His Safety to scare His Parents.
Those people were Even too lazy to Cover-up. They Don't even change the Currency unit. Kidnapping Success is 100,000 Pound Sterling. Attack Depending on the Situation is 20,000-50,000 Pound Sterling. Anyone can take Action. Immediately Transfer After completion.
This Price Cannot say it's high, and Cannot say it's low.
If it's Just Attack a bit, and Get 20,000 Pound Sterling, it's Not worth it for Bounty Hunters Active in Other countries to Specially Make a transnational trip. The Greater Possibility Is Bounty Hunters Within Japan.
There Will not be any Powerful figures Intervene. But Because of the Unlimited quota, Recently Probably will have quite a few People with Average Ability, Or People Relatively short of Money, Targeting him.
Chi Feichei Silently Noted down Those people's Information who Replied. Besides Anonymous, there Also have some Not anonymous Replies. No Matter Whether they Stated they would Accept the Bounty or not, he All Need to Pay Attention To a bit.
Some people Replied 'The Other Party has Someone protecting Beside him', 'This Bounty is Very difficult, Not worth it', Incited Others to Give up, But secretly Ran to Hunt for bounty Oneself.
This kind of person Really exists.
The Remaining two News are Related to the Organization's Recent Action arrangement. One is From America, and One is Just in Japan. They Can be Packaged and Send to Gin.
