Chapter 338: No Couple is Innocent [Bonus chapter for A Lonely Single Dog]
Taking Conan to the Sweater Section, Suzuki Sonoko was still holding a sweater and discussing it with Mouri Ran.
"Ran, what do you think of this one?"
"If it's a gift for Mr. Kyogoku, isn't this one a bit too cute?" Mouri Ran looked at it, turned her head, and noticed Chi Feichei bringing Conan over, then asked, "Right, Brother Chi?"
"Actually, as long as it's from Sonoko, he should like anything," Chi Feichei said.
"That's true too~" Mouri Ran said with a smile, teasingly.
Suzuki Sonoko blushed deeply, "Brother Chi, Ran, we're here to choose a sweater, please help us quickly!"
"People with dark skin should choose simple and clean patterns, which are minimalist and good-looking. Overly bright patterns will make dark skin look even darker," Chi Feichei said, "Also, pure black can be excluded. If he wears black, from a distance, he'll look like a walking Black Coal, and up close, it will feel very dull. In the Night, you'll probably only see his Eyes and Tooth."
Ran: "..."
Sonoko: "..."
What supports Chi Feichei, that he can actually say such Venomous Tongue words in such a calm tone?
Chi Feichei raised his Eyes and looked at the sweater, using facts to prove that he could be even more impolite in his words, "Brown and green combinations are not only unsuitable for Kyogoku, but they will also look very ugly on him."
"Very, very ugly?" Suzuki Sonoko sweated, and decisively put the sweater aside.
"Avoid clothes with strong Reflection, avoid too many colors on the body, generally no more than three colors, avoid colors with high brightness and saturation. Finally, nude, camel, and dark brown are excluded. If you want to see what 'indescribable' looks like, you can try picking these three colors for him to wear," Chi Feichei summarized, "If you don't want to try, choose simple patterns in cool colors."
"Hmm..." Mouri Ran looked around, picked up a light blue sweater, "How about this one?"
"No way," Suzuki Sonoko said quickly, "It has to be hand-knitted!"
Mouri Ran put down the sweater in confusion, "Why does it have to be hand-knitted?"
Suzuki Sonoko realized she had let slip, and quickly covered her mouth with her hand.
"Sonoko..." Mouri Ran thought of a possibility, glancing at Suzuki Sonoko, "Could it be that you..."
"Because..." Suzuki Sonoko laughed dryly, "Because last time when I wrote a Letter to him, I accidentally said in the Letter, 'I'm knitting a sweater for the person I like,' but who knew knitting a sweater would require so much perseverance..."
"I see, so you want to buy a hand-knitted sweater on the market and pretend it's knitted by you to give to him?" Mouri Ran's Tone was teasing.
"I can't help it," Suzuki Sonoko said embarrassedly, "Because I really can't find a Step down!"
"Okay," Mouri Ran laughed, "For the sake of your courage to confess to the person you like, I can not tell him about this."
"Huh?" Suzuki Sonoko was stunned, "I didn't tell him I like him..."
This time it was Mouri Ran who didn't understand, "What? Didn't you write in the Letter that you were going to knit a sweater for the person you like? What if Kyogoku misunderstands that you like someone else?"
"Oh, that's the point, I just want to make him nervous on purpose," Suzuki Sonoko cupped her cheeks with both hands, imagining, "And then tell him, 'Actually, this is a sweater I knitted for you,' he will definitely be extremely happy! This is my carefully designed Love Operation!"
"But, if you get disliked by him because of this, I won't care," Mouri Ran reminded with Half-Moon Eyes, this Plan doesn't look reliable at all.
"That's because he's taciturn, I don't know how important I am in his heart at all," Suzuki Sonoko said distressedly, "Although I know he will be worried about this, I don't have the Courage to directly ask him..."
"But Sonoko..." Mouri Ran just wanted to speak, but was interrupted by Suzuki Sonoko.
"Then do you know?" Suzuki Sonoko's Expression became a little serious, "Ran, do you know how Shinichi views you in his heart?"
Mouri Ran was stunned, her Face turned a little red, "This..."
"See, see, see," Suzuki Sonoko immediately approached Mouri Ran, teasingly said, "You really care about this Problem too, right? You also want to ask, so why are you talking about me!"
"I..." Mouri Ran felt a little guilty, her Face blushing, "We grew up together since childhood, it's a lie to say I don't care about this, but..."
Chi Feichei watched Conan's Face quickly turn red, as red as a Crab.
"But, you want to know but don't dare to ask, that's probably this Mood," Suzuki Sonoko looked melancholic, and in the next second, aimed at Mouri Ran, "Your Mood must be very confused, and you're thinking about all these Things, right?"
"I, I'm not!" Mouri Ran quickly retorted insincerely.
"Um..." Conan said with a red Face, "Ran, I want to go to the Parking Lot to find Uncle, and wait for you with him, okay..."
"I'll also go to the Parking Lot to wait for you," Chi Feichei said.
Two Girls were chatting about topics between girlfriends, he felt quite uncomfortable standing here doing nothing...
"Ah? Brother Chi, are you going down too?" Mouri Ran was a little surprised, but still said, "Then Conan is in your Request, and please also tell Father for me, ask him to go to the Pasta Restaurant in the Department Store to wait for us first, we'll go over after we're done shopping."
Chi Feichei nodded, saw Suzuki Sonoko pick up another sweater, and turned around to Go Out with Conan, "Sonoko, I advise you not to do this. If Kyogoku sees other Men wearing the same sweater on the Street, the lighter Consequences are that he will think you are lying to him, and the more serious Consequences are that he might think you are two-timing."
Suzuki Sonoko sweated, "Y-Yeah, it seems so... But, you probably can't tell with a sweater, right..."
Chi Feichei didn't say more, and after leaving the Sweater Shop with Conan, he said in a low voice, "When a Dog dies, no Couple is innocent!"
"Huh?" Conan looked up at Chi Feichei in confusion, his Face was not so red anymore. A Sentence that seemed to have a lot of artistic conception, was also said by Chi Feichei so seriously, why did it sound so strange to him? He silently recalled it for a moment, and simply asked directly, "Brother Chi, what does this Sentence mean?"
"In the eighteenth century, Voltaire, a French poet known as the 'King of French Thought', Said a Sentence, 'No snowflake in an avalanche ever feels responsible'," Chi Feichei said, "'When an Avalanche comes, no Snowflake feels responsible for itself.' Do you Understand what it means?"
Conan nodded and said, "I Understand, when an Avalanche occurs, in fact, every Snowflake is responsible. Using the Method of your previous Sentence, it's 'When an Avalanche occurs, no Snowflake is innocent.' I just don't Understand, what's the Relationship between Dog and Couple?"
"Single Dog, a kind of self-deprecation, refers to single people like me," Chi Feichei said.
Conan was stunned for a moment, then Understood, and 'puchi' laughed out loud, "Are Dogs killed by being hit?"
"Is it funny?" Chi Feichei asked quietly.
Conan was still laughing, "No..."
He found that Chi Feichei didn't not Understand humor, it's just that Chi Feichei's humor, ordinary people don't Understand.
Who would immediately associate this Sentence with Voltaire's Sentence when they hear it?
And if he didn't ask, Chi Feichei probably wouldn't explain, even if he was entertaining himself, he wouldn't actively share it with others.
Really awkward enough...
Chi Feichei took Conan to the Parking Lot to find Mori Kogoro, and then left the Parking Lot together, preparing to go to the Pasta Restaurant.
Irish Whiskey didn't follow them out, and didn't even follow them to the Parking Lot, just pretended to be a Guest staying on the First Floor of the Department Store, occasionally paying attention to them.
People from the Organization, no matter what, their Tracking Skill won't be too bad...
"Really can't stand it, why do Women take so long to shop and make Phone Call." Mori Kogoro wearing a Wool Hat, wrapped in a Thick Coat, shrank his Neck and sighed, turned his Head, and suddenly saw a fashionable Woman coming out of a Roadside Phone Booth, his Eyes lit up, and he immediately became energetic.
"Huh?" Conan looked at the Phone Booth, "There's a Pen dropped inside, could it be that Older Sister's..."
Mori Kogoro immediately entered the Phone Booth, picked up the Pen, and chased after her with a smitten Face, "Miss, please stop! You dropped something!"
Just as Mori Kogoro's Hand touched the other party's shoulder, the Woman grabbed Mori Kogoro's Wrist, and neatly performed a Shoulder Throw, directly pinning Mori Kogoro down.
"Action!"
Behind a pile of Trash Bag next to them, Inspector Megure rushed out aggressively.
Immediately after, Wataru Takagi ran out from In the Alley, and in the two Cars on the Roadside, there were also two Police Officer quickly getting out of the Car, stepping forward, and Surround.
Mori Kogoro was pinned down by a group of Police, and repeatedly shouted, "Request, Request, don't be impulsive!"
Chi Feichei wasn't sure if Mori Kogoro was frightened, but Irish Whiskey, who had just left the Department Store and was planning to follow, was frightened...
From the Reflection of a Small Mirror in a Shop on the Streetside, he saw Irish Whiskey obviously stunned for a moment, then with a calm look, changed his original route to come over, and walked directly past from the Street Corner behind...
This was an unexpected surprise.
Although he knew Irish Whiskey was Tracking him, he wouldn't show any Opening, but being stared at all the time was also annoying.
...
5 minutes later, the Cafe on the Streetside.
Chi Feichei used Alcohol to wipe Mori Kogoro's bruised eye socket, and casually put a Band-aid on the scraped skin on Mori Kogoro's Forehead, "Okay."
"I'm saying, kid, when you see Teacher being bullied, won't you Help?" Mori Kogoro said dejectedly.
Chi Feichei sat back in his Seat, his Expression still calm, his Tone still calm, "I thought Teacher Mouri harassed too many Female, and the Police Officers finally couldn't stand it anymore, and decided to arrest you on Criminal Charge of indecent assault."
Mori Kogoro stared blankly at Chi Feichei.
Listen To this, Listen To this, does this sound like Words from a disciple to a Teacher?
Conan secretly chuckled in his heart, is there anyone Chi Feichei can't retort?
Uncle is really something, it's already good that Chi Feichei can Help treat the Wound, what more could he want?
Wouldn't it be good to obediently Say a Sentence 'Troublesome you'?
Beside them, Inspector Megure's Expression became serious, "Oh? Younger Brother Mouri harassed Female?"
"How could that be, I didn't, don't Listen To this kid's nonsense!" Mori Kogoro denied three times in a row, and then asked, "But Inspector Megure, are you ambushing here to Capture some Criminal?"
