Chapter 247 Don't Take the Elevator, Something Will Happen
Conan pondered beside him, feeling that Chi Feichei's words had some weight to them.
If he understood correctly, what Chi Feichei said was the polite version, right?
To put it plainly—
You suspect him? What's it to me! I believe him, what's it to you!
Yet, Chi Feichei's words were so polite, they didn't sound like a rebuttal at all, but rather complete trust in a friend...
Nino Meguri, being a reporter for a newspaper, pondered for a moment and also Realize, but wasn't too sure if she was overthinking it, "You mean..."
"It's pointless to pester me," Chi Feichei Go To the Elevator, pressed the Elevator Button, and said calmly, "Before the Case is solved, he will remain at the Metropolitan Police Department to Cooperate with the Investigation. The Bail I arranged will also begin after the True Culprit is found."
Odagiri Toshiya's Identity is special. If he didn't do this, to prevent others from gossiping, Inspector Odagiri would also Request it.
However, given the Relationship between the father and son, it was not suitable for Inspector Odagiri to bring it up, so he had Said it to Odagiri Toshiya Initially.
As long as Odagiri Toshiya remained at the Metropolitan Police Department, if the Culprit was caught outside or the Culprit committed another crime, it could help clear Odagiri Toshiya's Suspicion...
The premise was that Odagiri Toshiya was not the True Culprit, otherwise, going in would be like walking right into the trap.
After Nino Meguri understood the key point, she was silent for a moment, "You really Trust him..."
"It's better to Say, I Trust my Keenness in judging people more. He looks like a delinquent, but he would absolutely not do something like Murdering a Police Officer," Chi Feichei Said, Turn Around to Go To the Safety Passage, "Ai, Conan, let's go."
"Huh?" Conan Turn Head Look at the Elevator, and quickly chased after Chi Feichei.
"Aren't we taking the Elevator Downstairs?" Haibara Ai asked, puzzled.
Didn't Chi Feichei just press the Elevator Button? Why did he suddenly decide to take the Stairs?
This is the 15th Floor, walking Downstairs will be exhausting...
"Could it be because I made you angry?" Nino Meguri folded her arms and followed into the Safety Passage, laughing casually, "Alright, alright, in that case, I'll temporarily believe he's not the Culprit, okay? You Say you're good at judging people, then what kind of person do you think I am?"
In the end, Chi Feichei still Trusts his Friend.
When a Friend is suspected of Murder, yet he still firmly believes that his Friend is not the Culprit, this kind of person easily inspires Good Impression...
"A boring person," Chi Feichei Said without even thinking.
They weren't even familiar with each other, how would he know what kind of person Nino Meguri was?
Even if he could roughly See a bit, if Nino Meguri asked, would he have to Say it?
Conan chuckled dryly beside them. Having known each other for so long, he could be considered to have some Knowledge of Chi Feichei's Style.
This Fellow was Insightful and could also talk, but once he was too lazy to Handle something, he would want to dismiss people with a few words.
Nino Meguri choked, rolled her Eyes at Chi Feichei, "Are you really Intention to take the Stairs Downstairs? Then I'll take the Elevator alone! By the Way, little Child, little Younger Sister, do you want to go with me?"
Haibara Ai: "No."
Conan: "Uh, No Need."
Nino Meguri: "..."
Suddenly, she felt that Children were not cute anymore!
These three really Intention to walk Down more than ten Floors of Stairs?
"It's best not to take the Elevator," Chi Feichei's voice was very soft, "Something will happen."
The corner of Nino Meguri's mouth twitched slightly, "You don't want to take it yourself, and you even want to curse it, making me afraid to take the Elevator too? But Pity, I don't believe in those Things."
Chi Feichei took out his Mobile Phone, Look at the Time, and said in a low voice, "Miss Nino, please keep your Words and Footsteps soft. If you can't do that, please return to the 15th Floor and take the Elevator Downstairs in 20 minutes."
Conan was stunned, his expression becoming astonished, "No way, could it be..."
"The Culprit wants to kill me. When someone was secretly staring at us yesterday, I Felt the malice directed at me," Chi Feichei's Footsteps were light, and his voice was also kept very soft.
"Why does he want to kill you?" Conan followed Chi Feichei Downstairs closely, Analysis, "Is it because your Reasoning threatened him? Or because he overheard our conversation yesterday and knew that the Meals you brought made Ran have signs of Memory recovery?"
Haibara Ai's expression also became serious, and she said in a low voice, "Perhaps both."
Nino Meguri immediately stopped her Footsteps and followed, holding her breath and concentrating, not daring to Speak.
It seemed like something major was about to happen, making her a little nervous, and a little excited...
"Now Ran, Officer Sato, and I, all have the Opportunity to become the Culprit's Goal. Ran and Officer Sato have Police protection around them, and they are either at the Hospital or at Home," Chi Feichei continued, "I am the best Goal to attack."
"Can you be sure?" Conan said in a low voice, "If..."
"Cannot be sure. If I could be sure, I would have Report to Police directly."
Chi Feichei spoke very bluntly. Danger without any Benefit, then why would he confront the Criminal?
If he could Report to Police, he would definitely Report to Police.
"But it's best not to take the Elevator.
If the Culprit Tracked us all the way from the Hospital, or went directly to the Mori Detective Agency, and found that there was no Opportunity to attack Ran, and I happened to bring two Children to the Beika Sun Plaza Hotel.
After we went Upstairs, the Culprit could completely Go Downstairs ahead of us, press the Elevator Button on a certain Floor, wait Outside Elevator, and when the Elevator Door opened, shoot from Outside, the space in the Elevator is narrow, it's difficult to Dodge, and the success rate of shooting to kill is very high.
Of course, the best Solution is to press the Door Button of several Floors. Even if it's not successful once, after the Elevator Door closes, he can also run Downstairs by Stairs, and change the Bullet clip on the way. Because the Elevator stops at each Floor, probably every two or three Floors, he can rush ahead to arrive at a certain Floor, wait Outside Elevator, and when the Elevator Door opens, shoot again."
"Uh..." Nino Meguri broke out in a cold sweat. Just thinking about the Elevator Door opening with a Muzzle pointed at her was terrifying, okay? There's simply no Place to run, "But, it's not necessarily the case, right?"
"No, if he wants to kill me, this is the best Opportunity," Chi Feichei affirmed.
If it were him, he would also use the Method he described to press the Elevator Door Button and attack the Goal at this Time!
"Because it's raining today," Conan said in a low voice, "Not many people come to the Hotel for Meals. Except for the Floors where Banquets are booked, there won't be any Guests on other Floors. Moreover, it's now 2 PM, the Guests attending the Banquet won't come at this Time. In other Words, the only ones who might take the Elevator Downstairs are us."
"Even if there are other people taking the Elevator Downstairs, because there are few people, it's easy to identify the Goal. And when we go Downstairs, there won't be many people in the Elevator, maybe just a few of us, so there's no need to worry about the Goal being blocked," Haibara Ai leisurely added, "At the same Time, there are many Floors without people where he can lie in ambush. It is indeed an excellent Time."
Chi Feichei nodded. This Time to attack was indeed good, so good that he almost subconsciously imagined a set of Crime Method.
In the narrow space of the Elevator, as long as the other party was not stingy with Bullets, and quickly shot at the Goal, after five or six Bullets, even with his skills, he would be injured even if he didn't die.
If the Goal didn't die, he could continue to go to the lower Floor to block, and it would be difficult to Dodge again when the Goal was injured.
Definitely Elevator horror.
The most perfect Thing was that the Elevators here... no, many Elevators in this World, do not have Surveillance Camera.
If it were him, he would also install a Silencer on the Gun in advance, and after shooting the Goal, place the Corpse at the Elevator Entrance to prevent the Elevator Door from closing, delaying the Time when the Corpse is discovered.
Even if the Goal pressed the alarm Button in the Elevator first, by the Time people came, he would have already escaped to who knows where.
Nino Meguri Felt goosebumps all over her back, touched her Arm, Turn Head Look at Chi Feichei's calm Face, and Felt a little more at ease, "Um... then let's not take the Elevator, it's better to be careful. Did you suddenly Realize this Before taking the Elevator Just Now? So you pressed the Elevator Button but didn't take it, and suddenly turned to take the Stairs instead?"
"No, I pressed the Elevator, to make the Culprit think I took the Elevator, to make it easier to go around and block him," Chi Feichei explained.
Conan immediately recalled, "I remember today's Banquet Venue Arrangement is... 3rd Floor, 7th Floor, 8th Floor, 11th Floor, 12th Floor, 14th Floor, 17th Floor, 19th Floor, 21st Floor."
"Going Down from the 15th Floor, the 13th Floor can be ambushed, but because there are Banquet Venues booked on both the upper and lower Floors, there may be Staff arranging Things, and it's easy to be heard Gunshot or cries for help, it's not the best attack Location, it can be ruled out. The Lobby on the 1st Floor has many people coming and going, and there is also security Defense, so it can also be ruled out. The 2nd Floor is too close to the 1st Floor, and it's also not suitable for ambush," Haibara Ai stretched out her fingers to rule out, "In addition, the 9th and 10th Floors have no Banquet Arrangement, and there won't be many people coming in and out, so they are more likely. And the 4th, 5th, and 6th Floors are vacant. Looking at it this way, the best ambush Location should be the 5th Floor."
Nino Meguri was silent. Not to mention Chi Feichei, this Monster, she Felt that she couldn't even compare to these two Children.
And listening to this, she also Felt that if she wanted to shoot someone, this was a rare good Time.
The premise was, don't encounter a Keenness person like Chi Feichei, otherwise it's easy to be counter-blocked...
When they reached the 10th Floor, Chi Feichei Stop, and quietly approached the Staircase Entrance of the Safety Passage.
Haibara Ai and Nino Meguri decisively Stop, and Conan also silently opened his Watch cover, and tiptoed forward.
Chi Feichei took out a Go black piece the size of a thumb from his Pocket, squatted down, and extended the piece from the Door, using the reflected image on the smooth chess surface to Observation the Elevator side.
Conan: "..."
He had always Felt that Chi Feichei's Pocket was a magical treasure chest.
What was this Fellow doing carrying a Go piece, and he even used it.
And there were lights Outside, using a Mirror was easy to reflect light, letting the other party discover the reflection point, using a black smooth chess piece was much better, and he could also vaguely See the Situation...
Chi Feichei Observation the Outside from the chess surface, and didn't See anyone, but the Elevator Down Button was lit, and it just stopped on the 10th Floor, the Elevator Door opened, no one was there, and it couldn't be closed for a while.
Conan cheered up, pointed Downstairs.
Chi Feichei Get Up, and continued to Go Downstairs softly.
9th Floor, Chi Feichei used the same Method to Observation, and found that there was also no one, but the Elevator Down Button was also lit.
Conan pondered for a moment, his Eyes lit up, and he said softly, "Psychological Tactics, the Elevator Door opens, but there is no one Outside the Door, people will subconsciously tense their Nerves, but if several Floors in a row are empty and the Elevator Doors are opened, it is likely to be regarded as a Child's Prank, making people relax Vigilance, increasing the chance of a successful attack."
Chi Feichei nodded, Kazato Kyosuke was indeed worthy of being a Psychologist. Last Time he shot Sato Miwako, he also used Psychological Tactics. This Time, the other party wanted to use human Mentality, determined to kill him.
But Pity, the dirty Routines he had played were much more than Kazato Kyosuke's...
