Chapter 127 The Shinde Residence Also Seems Abnormal

Chapter 127 The Shinde Residence Also Seems Abnormal

Conan nodded. He knew asking Chi Feichei was definitely the right choice. After all, he had lived here for a while, and with Chi Feichei's abilities, it was perfectly normal for him to sort out the relationships in this family. "Doctor Yoshiteru is a son-in-law who joined the family, right? Then his ex-wife is Doctor Tomoaki's biological Mother?"

Chi Feichei nodded. "Chiaki Shinde, Tomoaki's Biological Mother, was good friends with Mrs. Yoko when she was alive. She died in a car accident after Drunk Driving."

"Was there something wrong with her death?" Conan pressed. "If Biological Mother's death was related to Father, or because Father married another Woman after Mother died, then Doctor Tomoaki should also have Resentment towards Father, right?"

"I'm not sure if there was a Problem with Mrs. Chiaki's death, but Tomoaki and Mrs. Yoko get along very well," Chi Feichei paused for a moment. "Tomoaki doesn't even know about his Father's affair and has always trusted his Father. To sum it up, he's a simple person and unlikely to commit Murder."

"Yeah, at the time, he was held back by Ran and was on the Phone Call with you, so it's unlikely he had Time to commit the crime, unless it was a Timer Mechanism or something..." Conan recalled. He indeed hadn't noticed any discord between Niide Tomoaki and Niide Yoko. However, he reserved judgment on Chi Feichei's evaluation of Niide Tomoaki, not ruling out the possibility that Chi Feichei was influenced by Emotion.

Uh, although he felt that Chi Feichei wasn't someone whose Judgment would be affected by Emotion...

"Do you suspect someone in this Home committed the crime?" Chi Feichei asked.

Conan didn't state his Judgment. While leading Chi Feichei to see the Scene, he explained the Situation at the Time.

...

In the Corridor, Wataru Takagi was walking when he suddenly saw a Skeleton at the Corner. He was startled, his Face paled for a moment, and then he recovered and continued walking forward.

"Restroom... turn right..."

In his mind, Chi Feichei's calm voice from the Story he told that Night suddenly emerged: 'So it was a false alarm,' the man thought. Suddenly, the Scent of Disinfectant wafted into his nose. He turned his Head, and it seemed like there was a Sound calling him from Behind the Door of the half-open Room...

"Disinfectant, how could it... be..." Wataru Takagi stopped in his tracks, the forced smile on his Face freezing.

He really smelled the Scent of Disinfectant!

Turning his Head to look, he saw a Crack in the Door of the Room next to him, and he faintly saw dried red spots on the Floor near the Entrance.

In his mind, Chi Feichei's calm voice continued: 'He came here to find out the Truth and cannot retreat...'

"It's fake, it's all just a Story..." Wataru Takagi comforted himself, feeling like crying inside.

Because he suddenly realized that as a Police officer who came to investigate, seeing a suspicious Room, he really couldn't just ignore it. As for calling for others, he felt a little embarrassed...

Muttering to himself, Wataru Takagi slowly reached out and placed his Hand on the Door.

Chi Feichei's voice rang in his mind again: 'Pushing open the Door, he saw the people who were originally dead, all standing next to their own mutilated Corpses, looking up and smiling at him...'

Wataru Takagi nervously pushed open the Door and immediately saw the mutilated Human Model and the Simulation Model toppled over on the Operating Table.

"Ah—!"

A shrill scream echoed in the Courtyard, alarming everyone.

"This is..."

"That's Takagi's voice!"

"Takagi!"

Inspector Megure led people running over and saw Wataru Takagi sitting pale-faced at the Entrance, staring blankly at the Room. He turned his Head to look, "..."

Five minutes later...

Niide Tomoaki helplessly explained to a group of Police officers still searching through the pile of models, "These are really just a pile of models."

Mouri Ran hid behind Mori Kogoro. Although they were models, looking at so many incomplete Anatomical Models late at Night still felt very horrifying...

After searching, a group of Police officers nodded to Inspector Megure, indicating there was no Problem.

Inspector Megure breathed a sigh of relief. Even he had been startled just now. Speechlessly, he said to Niide Tomoaki, "There are a bit too many models here, and some are even cut open and sewn back up..."

"Simulation Models for surgical simulation," Chi Feichei explained for Niide Tomoaki. "They are used for practicing Surgery."

After all, he bought the models...

"Don't you feel scared looking at these?" Inspector Megure was even more speechless.

"Because we know they're fake, there's nothing to be afraid of. Besides, when Doctors perform Surgery, they shouldn't be afraid to make an incision just because they find it scary, right?" Niide Tomoaki couldn't understand.

In his opinion, although these models were standard in specifications, their texture was obviously fake at a glance, and many places were very rough. What was there to be afraid of...?

Conan, who was originally talking about the Case Details with Chi Feichei, was also startled by Wataru Takagi's scream. He came over to check the Situation, thoughtfully tugged at the corner of Chi Feichei's clothes, and waited for Chi Feichei to bend down before whispering, "Miss Xiao Guang seems a little afraid of Doctor Tomoaki. Is it because she was frightened by seeing Doctor Tomoaki studying models?"

"It should be. We have other things to do during the day, so Tomoaki and I usually practice at Night," Chi Feichei said in a low voice. "Three days ago, we were practicing abdominal Surgery... Of course, I was using Canine models, and Tomoaki was using Human Models. It should be that Miss Xiao Guang was frightened when she opened the Door to ask us to eat Fruit. Tomoaki was also startled, and his Hand was almost cut by the Scalpel. After that, when we are inside, we lock the Door, and others won't casually come to disturb us."

Conan chuckled inwardly. Opening the Room Door late at Night and seeing two people fiddling with Simulation Models, cutting and sewing, of course, she would be frightened, right?

Chi Feichei paused and added, "But the point is, Tomoaki almost cut his Hand. Afraid that Miss Xiao Guang would worry, he looked up and smiled at Miss Xiao Guang, which frightened Miss Xiao Guang so much that she ran away at that moment."

Conan: "..."

Thinking about the Environment at the Time, and then thinking about Niide Tomoaki's smile... Okay, he understood. He guessed that now, when Miss Xiao Guang saw Niide Tomoaki smile, her heart would be trembling.

"I told him he shouldn't have smiled," Chi Feichei added in summary.

Conan glanced at Chi Feichei. Even Chi Feichei, with his indifferent Face when he looked up, was probably about the same. "Um... Does Doctor Tomoaki have some kind of Problem?"

Before, when Niide Tomoaki occasionally stared at him, he felt that Niide Tomoaki was a bit abnormal. That kind of gaze was too strange.

"Problem?" Chi Feichei was puzzled in his heart. "No."

Conan nodded doubtfully. He believed he hadn't misjudged his feelings. Niide Tomoaki had glanced at him more than once.

Why are the Families Chi Feichei stays with all a bit strange?

The Old Castle was like a group of mentally unstable people, the Senyuan Family calmly ignored Pet fights as a whole, and here it was like a terrifying Hospital from a Horror Movie...

Anyway, suddenly there would be a feeling of 'abnormality', but he couldn't quite explain it.

Is Chi Feichei this guy too unlucky? He himself has a Problem, and the Families he stays with are also one after another... Hmm? Wait, he himself has a Problem?

Conan suddenly thought of the last time Chi Feichei went to Mouri Detective Agency for a meal. The conversation froze for a long time, and then they all started chatting again as if nothing had happened. It also felt a bit strange.

Could it be Chi Feichei's influence?

But on second thought, the Culprit in the Mamiya Family was pretending to be stupid himself, the Senyuan Family thought Pet fights were nothing, the Shinde Residence was Niide Tomoaki wanting to smile himself, and last time at dinner, Uncle was trying to act serious... It couldn't be blamed on Chi Feichei no matter how you looked at it.

So, it was indeed him overthinking, right...?

A group of Police officers realized it was just a misunderstanding and prepared to continue the investigation. Before leaving, they saw Wataru Takagi sitting in the Corridor with a pale Face and still greeted him.

"Hey Takagi, it's already okay..."

"Alright, we have to continue to be busy."

"You really are something... If you can't handle it, just go Home and rest."

"It's okay, I'll be fine after resting for a while." Wataru Takagi forced a smile. He didn't want to be frightened like this either. It was just that it was too similar to the Story Chi Feichei told, and he over-imagined for a moment...
